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].
Azɔ míetrɔ ɖo ta Ɔg, Basan fia ƒe anyigba dzi. Ɔg ƒo eƒe aʋakɔ nu ƒu enumake eye wokpe aʋa kpli mí le Edrei.
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].’
Ke Yehowa gblɔ nam be, “Mègavɔ̃e o, elabena matsɔ eya ŋutɔ kple eƒe aʋakɔ blibo la kpakple eƒe anyigba blibo la ade asi na wò; eye nawɔe abe ale si nèwɔ Fia Sixɔn, Amoritɔwo ƒe fia, le Hesbon ene.”
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.
Ale Yehowa miaƒe Mawu tsɔ Ɔg, Basan fia hã kple eƒe dukɔ blibo la de asi na mi, eye míewu wo katã, ale be ame aɖeke metsi agbe ahayi sisi ge o.
4 There were 60 cities in that region near Argob, in King Og’s kingdom of Bashan. But we captured all of them
Míexɔ eƒe du blaadeawo katã kple Basan ƒe to si woyɔna be Argob.
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].
Woɖo gli kɔkɔwo ƒo xlã du siawo, eye wode gakpogbowo wo nu. Míexɔ du siwo katã womeɖo gli ƒo xlãe o la hã.
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.
Míetsrɔ̃ Basan fiaɖuƒe la keŋkeŋ abe ale si míetsrɔ̃ Fia Sixɔn ƒe fiaɖuƒe le Hesbon ene, eye míewu ameawo katã, ŋutsuwo, nyɔnuwo kple ɖeviwo siaa.
7 But from those cities we took for ourselves all the livestock and other valuable things.
Ke mieha woƒe nyiwo kple afunyinuwo na mía ɖokuiwo.
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].”
Azɔ la, Amoritɔwo ƒe fia eveawo ƒe anyigba si le Yɔdan tɔsisi la ƒe go kemɛ dzi la zu mía tɔ. Anyigba sia tso Arnon ƒe balime yi Hermon to la gbɔ.
9 (That mountain is called Sirion by the people of Sidon [city] and is called Senir by the Amor people-group.)
(Sidontɔwo yɔa Hermon to la be Sirion le esime Amoritɔwo yɔe be Senir.)
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.”
Míexɔ du siwo katã le tonyigba la dzi kple esiwo le Gilead kple Basan azɔ va se ɖe keke Saleka kple Edrei.
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.)
(Ɔg, Basan fiae nye ame dzɔtsu, Refaimtɔwo ƒe mamlɛtɔ. Wotsɔ eƒe gabati dzra ɖo ɖe nuwo dzraɖoƒe le Raba, si nye Amonitɔwo ƒe duwo dometɔ ɖeka me. Gabati sia didi afɔ wuietɔ̃ kple afã, eye wòkeke afɔ ade.)
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.
Míetsɔ anyigba si míexɔ la na Ruben ƒe viwo kple Gad ƒe viwo kple Manase ƒe to afã la ƒe viwo. Metsɔ anyiehenyigba si tso Areor le Arnon tɔsisi la gbɔ kple Gilead to la ƒe afã kple eƒe duwo na Ruben ƒe viwo kple Gad ƒe viwo.
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.)
Manase ƒe viwo xɔ Gilead ƒe akpa mamlɛtɔ kple teƒe si Fia Ɔg ƒe fiaɖuƒe nɔ le Argob nuto me. Woyɔa Basan ɣe aɖewo ɣi be, “Refaim ƒe Anyigba.”
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.
Manase ƒe hlɔ̃ si woyɔna be Yair la xɔ Argob nuto me blibo la, si nye Basan va se ɖe Gesuritɔwo kple Makatitɔwo ƒe liƒowo dzi. Wotsɔ woawo ŋutɔwo ƒe ŋkɔ na anyigba la be Havɔt Yair si gɔmee nye “Yair ƒe Kɔƒewo” abe ale si wogayɔa wo egbegbe ene.
15 The [northern part of the] Gilead [region] I allotted to the Machir [clan, who are descendants of the tribe of Manasseh].
Metsɔ Gilead na Makir ƒe hlɔ̃.
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.
Ruben kple Gad ƒe towo xɔ anyigba tso Yabok tɔsisi la ŋu le Gilead, afi si Amonitɔwo ƒe anyigba dze egɔme tso va se ɖe Arnon tɔsisi la ƒe balime ƒe titina.
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.
Woxɔ Araba gbegbe si Yɔdan tɔsisi la do liƒo na le ɣetoɖoƒe, tso Kineret va se ɖe Pisga kple Dzeƒu la, si wogayɔna be Araba ƒu la ŋu.
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].
Mede se na mi be, “Yehowa, miaƒe Mawu, tsɔ anyigba sia na mi, ne woanye mia tɔ. Mi kalẽtɔwo katã mibla akpa dze mia nɔvi Israelviwo ŋgɔ.
19 But your wives and children and your very numerous cattle must stay in the towns that I have allotted to you.
Ke mia srɔ̃wo kple mia viwo ya ate ŋu anɔ afi sia le du siwo metsɔ na mi la me; woanɔ miaƒe nyiwo dzi kpɔm
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.’
va se ɖe esime miatrɔ agbɔ, eye mana to bubuawo hã naɖu woƒe futɔwo dzi. Ne woxɔ anyigba si Yehowa, míaƒe Mawu la tsɔ na wo le Yɔdan tɔsisi la godo la, ekema miate ŋu atrɔ va afi sia, si nye miawo ŋutɔ ƒe anyigba la dzi.”
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.
Megblɔ na Yosua be, “Wò ŋutɔ èkpɔ nu si Yehowa miaƒe Mawu wɔ fia eve mawo. Miwɔ nu ma tɔgbi ke fiaɖuƒe siwo le Yɔdan tɔsisi la godo.
22 Do not be afraid of those people, because Yahweh our God is the one who will fight for you all.’”
Mègavɔ̃ dukɔ siwo le afi ma la o, elabena Yehowa, wò Mawu la awɔ aʋa na wò.”
23 “At that time, I earnestly prayed, saying
Meƒo koko sia na Yehowa le ɣe ma ɣi be,
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].
“Aƒetɔ Yehowa, wò ŋutɔ ède asi wò gãnyenye kple wò abɔ sesẽ la ɖeɖe fia wò subɔla me xoxo, elabena Mawu kae le dziƒo alo anyigba dzi si ate ŋu awɔ wò nuwɔna siawo tɔgbi?
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.’
Meɖe kuku na wò, na made anyigba nyui si le Yɔdan tɔsisi la godo la dzi dzro, be makpɔ to nyui ma kple Lebanon.”
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!
Ke Yehowa do dɔmedzoe ɖe ŋunye le miawo ta, eye meɖe mɔ nam be matso tɔsisi la o. Eɖe gbe nam be, “Esɔ gbɔ, mègaƒo nu tso nya sia ŋu azɔ o,
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].
ke boŋ yi Pisga to la tame, afi si nàte ŋu ɣetoɖoƒe kple anyiehe, dziehe kple ɣedzeƒe gome ɖa; àkpɔ anyigba la le didiƒe tso afi ma. Ke màtso Yɔdan tɔsisi la o.
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].’
Na Yosua naxɔ ɖe tewòƒe. De dzi ƒo nɛ, elabena eyae akplɔ ameawo atso tɔsisi la be woaxɔ anyigba si nàkpɔ tso to la tame.”
29 So we remained in the [Jordan River] Valley close to Beth-Peor [town].”
Míetsi bali la me le Bet Peor kasa.
