Deuteronomy 3
1 “Then we turned [north] and went toward the Bashan region. Og, the king [of that area], and all his soldiers marched [south] to fight against us at Edrei [town].
Kenaka tinakhota ndi kumayenda mokwera mtunda ndi njira yolowera ku Basani. Ndipo Ogi mfumu ya ku Basani ndi gulu lake lonse lankhondo anakumana nafe ndipo anamenyana nafe ku Ederi.
2 Yahweh said to me, ‘Do not be afraid of him, because I will enable your [army] to defeat [MTY] him and all his army and to capture all their land. Do to him what you did to Sihon, the king of the Amor people-group, who ruled in Heshbon [city].’
Yehova anati kwa ine, “Usachite naye mantha pakuti ndamupereka mʼmanja mwako pamodzi ndi gulu lake lonse lankhondo ndi dziko lake lomwe. Ndipo uchite kwa iye zimene unachita Sihoni mfumu ya Aamori, amene ankalamulira ku Hesiboni.”
3 “So Yahweh enabled us to defeat [IDM] King Og and all his army. We killed them all; we did not allow any of them to remain alive.
Choncho Yehova Mulungu wathu anapereka mʼmanja mwathu Ogi mfumu ya ku Basani ndi gulu lake lonse lankhondo. Tinawakantha onsewo osasiya ndi mmodzi yemwe.
4 There were 60 cities in that region near Argob, in King Og’s kingdom of Bashan. But we captured all of them
Pa nthawi imeneyo tinatenga mizinda yake yonse. Pa mizinda 60, panalibe ndi umodzi womwe umene sitinawalande, mʼdera lonse la ufumu wa Ogi ku Basani chimene ndi chigawo cha Arigobu.
5 All those cities had high walls [around them] with gates and bars. We also captured many villages that did not have walls [around them].
Mizinda yonseyi inali yotetezedwa ndi malinga ataliatali wokhala ndi zitseko ndi zitsulo, komabe panali midzi ina yambiri imene inalibe malinga.
6 We completely destroyed everything, just as we had done [in the area that] King Sihon ruled. We killed all the men, women, and children.
Tinawawonongeratu monga momwe tinachitira Sihoni, mfumu ya ku Hesiboni. Tinawononga mzinda uliwonse, amayi, amuna ndi ana omwe.
7 But from those cities we took for ourselves all the livestock and other valuable things.
Koma tinafunkha ziweto ndi katundu wawo yense.
8 “So at that time we took from those two kings of the Amor people-group all the land east of the Jordan [River], from the Arnon [River] gorge [in the south] to Hermon Mountain [in the north].”
Choncho pa nthawi imeneyi tinalanda kwa mafumu awiri Aamori, dera la kummawa kwa Yorodani, kuyambira ku khwawa la Arinoni mpaka ku Phiri la Herimoni.
9 (That mountain is called Sirion by the people of Sidon [city] and is called Senir by the Amor people-group.)
(Asidoni amatcha Herimoni kuti Siriyoni, pamene Aamori amalitcha Seniri).
10 “We captured all the towns on the (plateau/high level land), and all the Gilead [region], and all the Bashan [region] as far east as Edrei and Salecah towns, which also belonged to Og’s kingdom.”
Tinalanda mizinda yonse ya ku mapiri, ku Giliyadi, Basani mpaka ku Saleka ndi Ederi, mizinda ya mu ufumu wa Ogi wa ku Basani.
11 (Og was the last king who was a descendant of the Repha giants. His bed was made of iron. It was almost (14 feet/4 meters) long and (6 feet/2 meters) wide. It is still [RHQ] in Rabbah [city] in the Ammon area.)
(Ogi, mfumu ya ku Basani, anali yekhayo amene anatsala mwa mtundu wa anthu ataliatali a Chirefai. Bedi lake linali lachitsulo ndipo lalitali kuposa mamita anayi. Mulifupi mwake munali mamita awiri. Bedilo likanalipo ku Raba kwa Aamori).
12 “From the land that we captured at that time, I allotted to the tribes of Reuben and Gad the land [north] of Aroer [town] near the Arnon [River], and some of the hilly area of the Gilead [region], along with the nearby towns.
Dziko limene tinalanda nthawi imeneyo, ndinapatsa fuko la Rubeni ndi fuko la Gadi dera la kumpoto kwa Aroeri cha mʼmphepete mwa khwawa la Arinoni kuphatikizapo theka la dziko lamapiri la Giliyadi ndi mizinda yake.
13 The other part of the Gilead [region] and all of the Bashan [region], which was the Argob [region] that King Og had ruled, I allotted to half of the tribe of Manasseh.” (The entire Bashan [region] is called the land of the Repha giants.)
Theka la fuko la Manase ndinalipatsa dziko lonse lotsala la Giliyadi ndi Basani yense yemwe ndi dera la ufumu wa Ogi. (Chigawo chonse cha Arigobu mu Basani chinkadziwika kuti ndi dziko la Arefai.
14 “Jair, from the tribe of Manasseh, conquered all the Bashan area as far [north] as the border of the Geshur and Maacah territories. He gave his own name to the villages there, and they are still called the villages of Jair.
Yairi, mdzukulu wa Manase, anatenga chigawo chonse cha Arigobu mpaka ku malire a Agesuri ndi Amaakati. Anatcha chigawochi dzina lake, moti mpaka lero Basani amatchedwa Havoti Yairi).
15 The [northern part of the] Gilead [region] I allotted to the Machir [clan, who are descendants of the tribe of Manasseh].
Ndipo ndinapereka Giliyadi kwa Makiri.
16 I allotted to the tribes of Reuben and Gad the southern part of the Gilead [region, extending south] to the Arnon [River]. The middle of the river is the [southern] boundary. The [northern] boundary is the Jabbok River, which is part of the border of the Ammon area.
Koma kwa fuko la Rubeni ndi fuko la Gadi ndinapereka chigawo chochokera ku Giliyadi kutsetsereka mpaka ku khwawa la Arinoni (pakati pa khwawalo ndiye panali malire) ndi kupitirira mpaka ku mtsinje wa Yaboki umene ndi malire Aamoni.
17 [To the west their territory extended] to the Jordan [River] Valley, from Galilee Lake [in the north] to the Dead Sea [in the south] and to the slopes of Pisgah [Mountain] to the east.
Malire ake a chakumadzulo anali Yorodani ku Araba, kuchokera ku Kinereti mpaka ku Nyanja ya Araba (Nyanja ya Mchere), mʼmunsi mwa matsitso a Pisiga.
18 At that time, I told you three tribes, ‘Yahweh our God is giving you this land [east of the Jordan River], for you to occupy/capture. So now, give your soldiers weapons, and send them [across the Jordan River] ahead of the men from the other Israeli tribes [to help them to conquer/capture the land that has been allotted to them].
Ndinakulamulirani nthawi imene ija kuti, “Yehova Mulungu wanu wakupatsani dziko ili kuti likhale lanu. Koma amuna amphamvu onse ali ndi zida zankhondo, awoloke kutsogolera abale anu Aisraeli.
19 But your wives and children and your very numerous cattle must stay in the towns that I have allotted to you.
Koma akazi anu, ana anu ndi ziweto zanu (ndikudziwa kuti muli ndi ziweto zambiri) zikhoza kumakhalabe mʼmizinda imene ndakupatsani,
20 [Your men must help your fellow Israelis] until Yahweh enables them to live there peacefully after they capture all the land that Yahweh our God is giving to them on the west side of the Jordan [River], just like he did for you [here on the east side of the river]. After that, you all may return to this land that I have allotted to you.’
mpaka Yehova atapereka mpumulo kwa abale anu, nawonso atatenga dziko limene Yehova Mulungu wanu akuwapatsa patsidya pa Yorodani, monga wachitira ndi inu. Kenaka, aliyense wa inu akhoza kudzabwerera ku dziko limene ndinakupatsani.”
21 And I told Joshua, ‘You [SYN] have seen everything that Yahweh our God did to those two kings, [Sihon and Og]. He will do the same thing to the people [who are now] in the land that you will be entering.
Nthawi imeneyo ndinamulamula Yoswa kuti, “Waona wekha ndi maso ako zonse zimene Yehova Mulungu wako anachitira mafumu awiriwa. Yehova adzachita zomwezo ndi mafumu ena onse kumene mukupitako.
22 Do not be afraid of those people, because Yahweh our God is the one who will fight for you all.’”
Musawaope chifukwa Yehova Mulungu mwini adzakumenyerani nkhondo.”
23 “At that time, I earnestly prayed, saying
Nthawi imeneyo ndinachonderera Yehova kuti,
24 ‘Yahweh our Lord, you have merely begun to show me that you are very great and to show me the powerful things that you can do [MTY]. There is certainly no [RHQ] god in heaven or on earth who can do the powerful things/deeds that you [have done].
“Ambuye Mulungu, mwayamba tsopano kuonetsa mtumiki wanu ukulu wanu ndi dzanja lanu lamphamvu. Ndi mulungu uti ali kumwamba kapena pa dziko lapansi amene angachite ntchito zozizwitsa zimene mumachita?
25 So please allow me to cross the Jordan [River] and to see the good/fertile land on the west side, the beautiful hilly area and [the mountains in] Lebanon.’
Mundilole ndipite ndi kukaona dziko labwinolo kutsidya kwa Yorodani dziko la mapiri abwinowo ndi Lebanoni.”
26 But Yahweh was angry with me because of [what] your ancestors [had made me do], so he would not pay attention to me. Instead, he said, ‘That is enough [talk from you]! Do not talk to me about that again!
Koma chifukwa cha inu, Yehova anakwiya nane osandimvera. Yehova anati, “Basi pakwana, usayankhulenso ndi ine zimenezi.
27 Climb up to the top of Pisgah [Mountain] and look toward the west and to the east, toward the north and to the south. Look at [MTY] it all carefully, because you will not cross the Jordan [River to see the land from there].
Pita pamwamba pa phiri la Pisiga ndipo uyangʼane kumadzulo, kumpoto, kummwera ndi kummawa. Ulione dzikolo ndi maso ako pakuti suwoloka Yorodaniyu.
28 But tell Joshua what he must do and encourage him to be strong, because he is the one who will lead the people [across the river in order that they can] occupy/capture the land that you will see [from the top of the mountain].’
Koma langiza Yoswa ndipo umulimbikitse ndi kumupatsa mphamvu pakuti adzatsogolera anthu awa kuwoloka ndipo adzawathandiza kuti atenge dziko limene ulioneli.”
29 So we remained in the [Jordan River] Valley close to Beth-Peor [town].”
Ndipo tinakhala mʼchigwa pafupi ndi Beti-Peori.
