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.
A LAILA huli ae la kakou, a hele aku la i ka waonahele ma ke ala o ke Kaiula, e like me ka Iehova i kauoha mai ai ia'u; a hoopuni ae la kakou i ka mauna o Seira i na la he nui.
2 Then Yahweh said to me,
Olelo mai la o Iehova ia'u, i mai la,
3 ‘You have been wandering around this hilly area for a long enough time. Now turn [and travel] toward the north.
Ua loihi ko oukou hoopuni ana i keia mauna: e huli ae oukou ma ke kukuluakau.
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,
A e kauoha aku oe i na kanaka, penei, E hele ana oukou ma ka mokuna o ko oukou poe hoahanau, o na mamo a Esau e noho ana ma Seira; a e makau mai auanei lakou ia oukou: nolaila e malama nui oukou ia oukou iho:
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.
Mai hakaka oukou me lakou; no ka mea, aole au e haawi aku i kekahi o ko lakou aina no oukou, aole i kekahi kapuwai; no ka mea, ua haawi aku au i ka mauna o Seira i wahi e noho ai no Esau.
6 [When you travel near their land], buy food and water from them.’
E kuai oukou i ka lakou ai i ke kala, i ai ai oukou; a e kuai hoi oukou i ko lakou wai i ke kala, i inu ai oukou.
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].
No ka mea, ua hoopomaikai mai o Iehova kou Akua ia oe ma na hana a pau a kou lima; ua ike no ia i kou hele ana ma keia waonahele nui; me oe no o Iehova kou Akua i neia mau makahiki he kanaha; aole oe i nele i kekahi mea.
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.
A ia kakou i maalo ae mai ko kakou poe hoahanau aku, na mamo a Esau, e noho ana ma Seira, ma ke ala o ka papu mai Elata aku, a mai Ezionagabera, huli ae kakou a hele i ke ala ma ka waonahele o Moaba.
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].’”
Olelo mai la o Iehova ia'u, Mai hana ino aku i ko Moaba, aole e ku e ia lakou i ke kaua ana; aole au e haawi i ko lakou aina i wahi e noho ai no oukou; no ka mea, ua haawi aku au ia Ara i wahi e noho ai no na mamo a Lota.
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.
I ka manawa mamua i noho ai ka poe Emima malaila, he poe nunui a lehulehu, he poe loihi e like me ka poe Anakima;
11 They and the descendants of Anak are also called the Repha giants, but the people of Moab call them Emim.
Ua manaoia lakou, he poe kanaka nunui e like me ka poe Anakima; aka, ua kapaia lakou e ko Moaba, he poe Emima.
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.
I ka manawa mamua i noho ai ka poe Horima ma Seira: aka, na na mamo a Esau i hookuke aku lakou, a luku i ua poe la imua o lakou, a noho iho la ma ko lakou la wahi; e like me ka Iseraela i hana aku ai i ka aina o ko lakou wahi i noho ai a Iehova i haawi mai ai no lakou.
13 [I also said to the Israeli people], “Then we crossed the Zered Gorge, as Yahweh told us to do.
Ano hoi, e ku iluna, a e hele aku ma kela aoao o ke kahawai o Zareda: a hele aku kakou ma kela aoao o ke kahawai o Zareda.
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.
A o na makahiki o ko kakou hele ana mai Kadesabanea mai, a hiki kakou ma ke kahawai o Zareda, he kanakolu ia a me kumamawalu; a pau ka hanauna a pau o na kanaka koa i ka nalowale iwaena o ka poe kaua, e like me ka Iehova i hoohiki ai ia lakou.
15 They died because Yahweh opposed them, until he had gotten rid of all of them.
No ka mea, ku e mai la ka lima o Iehova ia lakou e luku ia lakou mailoko aku o ka poe kaua, a pau lakou i ka make.
16 After all the men who had been old enough to fight in wars had died [DOU],
A i ka manawa i pau ai na kanaka koa i ka lukuia, a i ka make iwaena o na kanaka,
17 Yahweh said to me,
Olelo mai la o Iehova ia'u, i mai la,
18 ‘Today you all must cross the border into the Moab region, near Ar, [their capital city].
E hele ana oe i ka mokuna o Moaba i Ara i keia la:
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.’”
A hiki aku oe a kokoke i na mamo a Amona, mai hana ino aku ia lakou, aole hoi e hakaka aku me lakou: aole au e haawi i wahi e noho ai nou ma ka aina o na mamo a Amona; no ka mea, ua haawi aku au ia i wahi e noho ai no na mamo a Lota.
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.
(Ua manaoia hoi ia he aina kanaka nunui: o na kanaka nunui i noho ai malaila i ka manawa kahiko, a ua kapaia lakou e ka Amona, he Zamezumima;
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.
He poe kanaka nunui, a lehulehu, a loihi, e like me na Anakima; aka, na Iehova lakou i luku aku imua o lakou, a hookuke aku lakou ia poe, a noho iho la ma ko lakou wahi:
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.
E like me kana i hana aku ai no na mamo a Esau e noho ana ma Seira, ia ia i luku ai i ka poe Horima imua o lakou; hookuke aku la lakou ia poe, a noho iho la ma ko lakou wahi, a hiki i keia la:
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.
A o ko Ava e noho ana ma Hazerima a hiki i Aza, na ko Kapetora, mai Kapetora mai, i luku aku lakou, a noho iho la ma ko lakou la wahi.)
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.
E ku oukou iluna, e hele aku, a hiki ma keia kapa o ke kahawai o Arenona: aia hoi, ua haawi aku au ia Sihona no ka Amora, ke alii o Hesebona, a me kona aina iloko o kou lima; e hoomaka oe e komo, a e ku e aku ia ia i ke kaua.
25 Today I will begin to cause everyone, everywhere, to be afraid of you. Everyone who hears about you will tremble and be terrified.’
I keia la e hoomaka ai au e kau i ka makau ia oe, a me ka weliweli ia oe, maluna o na lahuikanaka malalo ae o ka lani a pau, ka poe i lohe i kou kaulana ana, a e haalulu lakou, a e pilihua auanei nou.
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:
A hoouna aku la au i na elele mai ka waonahele o Kedemota aku io Sihona la, ke alii o Hesebona, me ka olelo aloha, i aku la,
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.
E ae mai oe ia'u e hele au ma kou aina: e hele au ma ke ala loa, aole au e kapae ma ka akau, aole hoi ma ka hema.
28 We will pay for any food or water that you allow us to buy. We want only to walk through your country,
E kuai mai oe i ai na'u no ke kala, i ai iho ai au; a e haawi mai i wai no'u no ke kala, i inu ai hoi au; e hele wawae wale no au;
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.’
(E like me na mamo a Esau, e noho ana ma Seira, a me ko Moaba e noho ana ma Ara i hana mai ai ia'u; ) a hiki aku au ma keia kapa o Ioredane, ma ka aina a Iehova ko makou Akua i haawi mai ai ia makou.
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.
Aka, aole i ae mai o Sihona, ke alii o Hesebona, e hele kakou ma o na la; no ka mea, hoopaakiki mai la o Iehova kou Akua i kona naau, a hooku e oia i kona manao, i hoolilo ai oia ia ia iloko o kou lima, e like me ia i keia la.
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!’
A olelo mai o Iehova ia'u, aia hoi, ua hoomaka iho nei au e hoolilo ia Sihona, a me kona aina ia oe: e komo oe, i lilo ai kona aina ia oe.
32 Then Sihon came out [of the city] with all his army to fight against us at Jahaz [town].
Alaila hele ku e mai la o Sihona ia kakou, oia a me kona poe kanaka a pau, i ke kana ma Iahaza.
33 But God enabled us to defeat [DOU] them, and we killed Sihon and his sons and all his soldiers.
A hoolilo mai o Iehova ko kakou Akua ia ia imua o kakou, a luku aku la kakou ia ia, a me kana mau keiki, a me kona poe kanaka a pau.
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.
A hoopio aku la kakou i kona mau kulauakauhale a pau, a luku aku i na kanaka o na kulanakauhale a pau, a me na wahine a me na kamalii, aole kakou i hookoe i kekahi.
35 We took the valuable things that were in the cities that we captured and also their cattle.
O na holoholona wale no ka kakou i la we pio ai na kakou, a me ka waiwai o na kulanakauhale, oia ka kakou i lawe.
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].
Mai Aroera ma kapa o ke kahawai o Arenona, a me ke kulanakauhale ma ke kahawai a hiki i Gileada, aole kekahi kulanakauhale i lanakila maluna o kakou; na Iehova ko kakou Akua i hoolilo mai na mea a pau ia kakou.
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.”
Aole nae oe i hele ma ka aina o na mamo a Amona, aole hoi ma na wahi o ke kahawai o Iaboka, aole hoi ma na kulanakauhale o na mauna, aole hoi ma kekahi wahi a Iehova ko kakou Akua i papa mai ai ia kakou.
