Deuteronomy 2
1 “Then we turned around and went through the desert toward the (Red Sea/Gulf of Aqaba), as Yahweh told us to do, and we wandered in the Edom area for many years.
Chuin gamthip lang jondin ikiheiyun Twipisan lam jon in icheuvin, Pakaiyin asei bang in, Seir molsang lama chun phat sottah lungdong in ivah leleuvin ahi.
2 Then Yahweh said to me,
Hichun Pakaiyin hiti hin eiseipeh in,
3 ‘You have been wandering around this hilly area for a long enough time. Now turn [and travel] toward the north.
Nangho gamthip lah a lungdong in naum sot lheh tauve; sahlam gamkai mano tauvin.
4 And tell the people that they are about to travel near the land that belongs to the descendants of Esau, who are also descendants of Isaac. They live in the [hilly] Edom region. They will be afraid of you,
Thupeh hichengse hi mipi henga seiyin: “Nanghon na sopiu Esau chilhah Edom mite chenna Seir mun na jotpa diu ahi. Edom mite chu kichat nan alhun den theiju ahi, ching theiyun.”
5 but do not start to fight against them, because I am not going to give you even a tiny bit [HYP] of their land. I have given that land to the descendants of Esau.
Aheng uva ima na ngeh lou diu ahi. Ajeh chu keiman Seir gam jouse amaho kapeh ahitan, nangho gambeh neocha jong na kipe theilou diu ahi.
6 [When you travel near their land], buy food and water from them.’
An leh twi nangai chat uva ahileh, aman napeh uva na kichoh cheh diu ahi.
7 Do not forget that Yahweh our God has blessed you in everything that you [SYN] have done. He knows [what has happened to you while] you have wandered in this huge desert. But he has been with you during those 40 years, and as a result you have had everything that you needed [LIT].
Ajeh chu Pakai, Pathen in nabol natoh jouseu phatthei abohtan. Aman gamthip noiya kal nason chan geiyuva pat ave lhih jing in. Kum somli sung in Pakai, Pathen in lhasam louvin na umpiuve.
8 So we continued to travel. We avoided going through the hilly area where the descendants of Esau live. We stayed away from the road through the Jordan [River] Valley past Ezion-Geber and Elath [towns], and we turned and traveled northeast toward the desert area where the Moab people-group lives.
Chuin Esau chilhah ho chenna Seir mun igalkai uvin. Arabah phaicham kiti Elath le Ezion-geber akon hungna lampi vang ipeldoh uvin ahi. Hiti chun sahlam nelgam lam juiyin Moab lam ino tauvin ahi.
9 Yahweh said to me, ‘Do not bother/harass the people of Moab, and do not start to fight against them, because I am not going to give you any of their land. [Do not forget that] they are descendants of [Abraham’s nephew] Lot, and I have given to them Ar [city, their capital, and the other areas in that country].’”
Chuin Pakaiyin aseiyin, “Lot chilhah Moab mite na suhgim lou diu, gal jong na bolkhum lou hel diu ahi. Ar gam Leiset pumpi amaho kapeh ahitan, nangho gam beh neokhat jong na chan thei lou diu ahi.”
10 A large group of giants called Emim formerly lived there. They were strong and numerous, and as tall as the giants who were descendants of Anak.
(Mihat Emim mite chu Ar muna ana cheng uvin ahi. Amaho chu asang thei un chule atha u-jong ahat in Anakim mite tobang chu ahiuve.
11 They and the descendants of Anak are also called the Repha giants, but the people of Moab call them Emim.
Emimte le Anakim ho chu Rephaim tinjong akiheuvin, Moab miten vang Emim tin akou un ahi.
12 The Hor people-group also formerly lived in the Edom area, but the descendants of Esau chased them out. They defeated and killed them and (settled in/occupied) their land, just as the Israeli people later expelled their enemies from the land that Yahweh gave to them.
Masang chun Hor mite chu Seir muna ana cheng uvin, hinlah amaho chu Esau chilhahte hotoh gal ana kibol uvin, Hor mite chu ana jamdoh tauvin. Israel miten Canaan mite adel gam uva agam pumpi Pakai in apeh tobang’u ahi.)
13 [I also said to the Israeli people], “Then we crossed the Zered Gorge, as Yahweh told us to do.
Mose’n avelin aseiyin, ‘Chuin Pakaiyin iheng uva hiti hin aseiye, Zered galkai ding in che uvin, ati bang in igalkai tauvin ahi.
14 It had been thirty-eight years from the time we first left Kadesh-Barnea until we crossed the Zered Gorge. During those years, all the Israeli (fighting men/soldiers) of that generation had died, as Yahweh had vowed would happen.
Kadesh Burnea ihin dalhah kal-u kum somthum le get ahitan, Pasal galsat thei jouse gamthip la h a athisoh tauve. Hichu Pakaiyin atep banga thilsoh ahi.
15 They died because Yahweh opposed them, until he had gotten rid of all of them.
Pakaiyin asuh manghel kahseuvin, amaho chu adou in ahi.
16 After all the men who had been old enough to fight in wars had died [DOU],
Galbol thei pasal jouse athi gam phat chun,
17 Yahweh said to me,
Pakaiyin ka henga hiti hin aseiyin,
18 ‘Today you all must cross the border into the Moab region, near Ar, [their capital city].
Tunia hi Ar muna pat Moab gamgi na galkai diu
19 When you come near the border of the land where the Ammon people-group live, do not bother/harass them or start to fight against them. They are also descendants of Lot, so I am not going to give you any of the land that I have given to them.’”
Lot chilhah Ammon mite chenna nalut diu, hinlah amaho na suhgim lou diu gal jong nabol khum lou diu ahi. Hiche gam hi Ammon mite kapeh ahitan, agam hi nnag ho kapeh thei louding ahitai.
20 That region is also called the land of the Repha giants, who formerly lived there. The Ammon people-group call them the Zamzum group.
(Hiche gam chu Rephaim mite gam'a ana kihe ahin, Ammon miten vang Zamzummim mite atiuve.
21 They were a large and powerful group, who were as tall as the descendants of Anak. But Yahweh got rid of them, and the Ammon people-group expelled them and took their land away from them and started to live there.
Amaho jong chu asang thei un chule athau ahat thei uvin Anakim mite tobang ahiuve. Hinlah Pakaiyin amaho chu asugamhel tauvin ahileh, chuin Ammon miten agam alo tauve.
22 Yahweh had done the same thing for the descendants of Esau who live in the hilly area of Edom. He got rid of the Hor people-group, with the result that the Edom people-group took their land from them and started to live there. They still live there.
Pakaiyin Seir muna Esau chilhahte dinga na-atoh bang bang in abol in chule Hor mite asugam in ahileh hiche muna chun amaho acheng tauvin ahi. Hijeh chun Esau chilhahte tuni changeiyin acheng tauvin ahi.
23 People who came from Crete [Island] got rid of the Av group [who previously lived in the land close to the Mediterranean Sea], as far south as Gaza. They took their land from them and started to live there.
Hiche tobang hin Crete apat Caphtorit mite chunga thilsoh ana lhung in, Avvit mite chu anasu-gam hel uvin, Gaza khopi chan alo tauve.)
24 “[After we had gone through the Moab region], Yahweh said to us, ‘Now cross the Arnon [River]. I will help you to defeat [IDM] [the army of] Sihon, the king of the Amor people-group, who lives in Heshbon [city]. So attack their army and start to take their land from them.
Mose’n avelin aseiyin, ‘Pakaiyin hiti hin aseiye, tun Arnon Gorge mun galkai ding in che tauvin! Vetan, Sihon, Amorite Hesbon lengpa khu nakhut uva kapeh doh ding chule agam pumpi nangma na chan ding ahi. Nokhum unlang agam khu lo tauvin.
25 Today I will begin to cause everyone, everywhere, to be afraid of you. Everyone who hears about you will tremble and be terrified.’
Tu nikhoa kipat gam Leiset a cheng mihemte chunga tijatna kalhun sah ding ahi. Nachung chang thu-u ahin jah doh tenguleh kichat nan alhun den diu ahi.
26 Then I sent messengers to go from the desert to King Sihon at Heshbon. I told them to give this peaceful message to the king:
Mose’n aseikit in, ‘Kadeshmoth gamthip apat Heshbon lengpa Sihon henga chamna thuseiyin palai khat kasol in:
27 ‘Please allow us to travel through your land. We [promise that we] will stay on the road; we will not turn off to the right or to the left.
Nagam sung ka jotpa diu ahi. Lampi jeng ka jotpa diu amavang, akimvel lah kahopa lou diu ahi.
28 We will pay for any food or water that you allow us to buy. We want only to walk through your country,
Anneh ding le twidon ding neipe uvin, hichu aman kapeh diu ahi. Thil ijakai chung chona kangai chat pipen uchu ahileh nagam ka jotpa uva kagal kai diu hi ahi.
29 until we cross the Jordan [River] into the land that Yahweh our God is giving to us. Do for us just as the descendants of Esau who live in the Edom area and the Moab people-group did for us when they allowed us to go through their areas.’
Seir muna Esau chilhahten agam kajotpa uva ka galkai nadiu eiphal peh uvin, hiche tobang chun Ar muna cheng Moab mite jeng in jong abol uvin ahi. Hijeh chun Pakai, Pathen in eipeh nau gam Jordan vadung ka gal kaithei na diuvin nagam sung nei jotsah tauvin katiuve.
30 But King Sihon would not allow us to go through his country. That was because Yahweh our God caused him to be stubborn [IDM]. The result was that Yahweh enabled us to defeat his army and take his land [IDM], which we still live in.
Hinlah Heshbon muna Sihon lengpan agamsung hopa ding chu anom tapoi, ajeh chu Pakai, Pathen in Sihon lengpa lungthim chu asutah in chuin Pakaiyin eiki thopi uvin ahileh galjona chu eipe tauve.
31 Yahweh said to me, ‘Listen! I am about to allow you to defeat Sihon’s [army] and to take the people’s land from them. So start to occupy it!’
Chuin Pakaiyin hiti hin aseiyin, Vetan, Keiman tua kipat Sihon lengpa leh agam leiset na khut uva kapeh doh pan ahitai. Tun kipan uvin agam pumpi lo ding in kon tauvin, ati.
32 Then Sihon came out [of the city] with all his army to fight against us at Jahaz [town].
Chuin Sihon lenpan eiho chunga gal bol ding in kho lhang asam tan, Jahaz apat agalsat miho henga hetsahna aneiyin ahi.
33 But God enabled us to defeat [DOU] them, and we killed Sihon and his sons and all his soldiers.
Ahinlah Pakai, Pathen in eiho khut a apedoh tan ahileh, achapate chule amite jouse jaonan i-satgam hel tauvin gal jona i-chang tauvin ahi.
34 We captured all their cities and destroyed them all. We killed all the men and women and children; we did not allow any of them to remain alive.
Akhopi jouse leh amite jouse abonchan ithat gam hel tauvin, hichu pasal jouse leh numei chapang jaona ahi. Mihem khat a khat cha jeng jong asohcha tapon ahi.
35 We took the valuable things that were in the cities that we captured and also their cattle.
Khopi sunga gancha jouse abonchan ichom tauvin chule thil ijakai manlu jouse jong i-chang tauvin ahi.
36 Yahweh our God enabled us to capture [IDM] all their towns from Aroer [in the south], which is at the edge of the Arnon River [Valley], to the Gilead [region in the north]. Some of their cities had [walls around them], but we were able to [climb over them].
Pakai, Pathen in ei-panpi uvin ahileh Aroer kiti Arnon Gorge, Gorge khopi chule agam pumpi Gilead chan geiyin abonchan ijousoh hel tauvin ahi.
37 But we did not go near the area where the Ammon people-group live, or the banks of the Jabbok riverbed, or the towns in the hilly area, or any other place where Yahweh our God told us not to go.”
Ijeh inem itileh, Ammon mite gam dalhan Jabbok vadung chule gamsunga khopi ho, Pakai thupeh bang banga i-dalhah jal’u ahi.
