< 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].
Nĩtwacookire tũkĩgarũrũka na tũkĩambata na njĩra tũrorete Bashani, nake Ogu mũthamaki wa Bashani akiumagara na mbũtũ ciake ciothe cia ita oke ahũũrane na ithuĩ kũu Edirei.
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].’
Nake Jehova akĩnjĩĩra atĩrĩ, “Ndũkamwĩtigĩre, nĩ ũndũ nĩndĩmũneanĩte hamwe na mbũtũ ciake ciothe cia ita na bũrũri wake moko-inĩ maku. Mwĩke o ũrĩa wekire Sihoni mũthamaki wa Aamori, ũrĩa waathanaga Heshiboni.”
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.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Jehova Ngai witũ akĩneana Ogu mũthamaki wa Bashani moko-inĩ maitũ na mbũtũ yake yothe. Tũkĩmooraga na tũtiatigirie mũndũ o na ũmwe.
4 There were 60 cities in that region near Argob, in King Og’s kingdom of Bashan. But we captured all of them
Ihinda-inĩ rĩu tũkĩmatunya matũũra mao mothe. Gũtirĩ itũũra o na rĩmwe rĩa matũũra mao mĩrongo ĩtandatũ tũtaamatunyire, marĩa maarĩ bũrũri-inĩ ũcio wothe wa Arigobu, ũthamaki-inĩ wa Ogu kũu Bashani.
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].
Matũũra macio mothe maarĩ mairigĩre na hinya, na thingo ndaaya na igũrũ, na ihingo ciarĩ na mĩgĩĩko, na ningĩ no kwarĩ tũtũũra tũingĩ tũtaarĩ tũirigĩre.
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.
Nĩtwamanangire biũ, o ta ũrĩa twekĩte Sihoni mũthamaki wa Heshiboni, tũkĩananga matũũra mothe manene, o na tũkĩniina arũme na andũ-a-nja o na ciana.
7 But from those cities we took for ourselves all the livestock and other valuable things.
No mahiũ mothe na indo iria twatahire kuuma matũũra macio mao manene nĩtwacioire tũgĩthiĩ nacio.
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].”
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio ihinda-inĩ rĩu nĩtwatunyanire bũrũri ũrĩa warĩ irathĩro rĩa Rũũĩ rwa Jorodani, kuuma kũrĩ athamaki acio eerĩ a Aamori, naguo uumĩte kĩanda kĩa Arinoni nginya kĩrĩma-inĩ kĩa Herimoni.
9 (That mountain is called Sirion by the people of Sidon [city] and is called Senir by the Amor people-group.)
(Kĩrĩma kĩa Herimoni gĩĩtagwo Sirioni nĩ Asidoni; nao Aamori magĩĩtaga Seniru.)
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.”
Nĩtwatahire matũũra mothe marĩa maarĩ kũndũ kwaraganu, na Gileadi guothe, na Bashani guothe, o nginya Saleka na Edirei, matũũra ma kũrĩa Ogu aathanaga kũu Bashani.
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.)
(No Ogu mũthamaki wa Bashani wiki watigarire harĩ matigari ma Arefai. Gĩtanda gĩake kĩarĩ gĩa cuuma, na kĩarĩ na ũraihu wa makĩria ma buti ikũmi na ithatũ, na wariĩ wa buti ithathatũ. Gĩtanda kĩu kĩrĩ o kũu Raba kwa Aamoni.)
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.
Naguo bũrũri ũrĩa twatunyanire hĩndĩ ĩyo-rĩ, nĩndagaĩire andũ a Rubeni na a Gadi bũrũri ũrĩa warĩ gathigathini wa Aroeri kũnyiitana na kĩanda kĩa Arinoni, hamwe na nuthu ya bũrũri ũrĩa ũrĩ irĩma wa Gileadi, o hamwe na matũũra makuo.
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.)
Nakuo kũrĩa kũngĩ guothe gwatigaire kũu Gileadi o na Bashani guothe, kũrĩa Ogu aathanaga, ngĩkũhe nuthu ya mũhĩrĩga wa Manase. (Bũrũri wothe wa Arigobu kũu Bashani hĩndĩ ĩmwe wetagwo bũrũri wa 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.
Jairu, wa rũciaro rwa Manase, nĩegwatĩire bũrũri wothe wa Arigobu o nginya mũhaka-inĩ wa Ageshuru na Amaakathi; nakuo gũgĩĩtanio nake, nĩ ũndũ ũcio Bashani gwĩtagwo Havothu-Jairu o nginya ũmũthĩ.)
15 The [northern part of the] Gilead [region] I allotted to the Machir [clan, who are descendants of the tribe of Manasseh].
Na nĩndaheanire Gileadi kũrĩ Makiru.
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.
No andũ a Rubeni na a Gadi ndaamaheire bũrũri ũrĩa uumĩte Gileadi ũgaikũrũka nginya kĩanda kĩa Arinoni (mũhaka warĩ gatagatĩ ga kĩanda kĩu), ũgacooka ũgakinya rũũĩ-inĩ rwa Jaboku, arĩ ruo mũhaka wa 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.
Mũhaka wakuo wa mwena wa ithũĩro warĩ Rũũĩ rwa Jorodani kũu Araba, kuuma Kinerethu nginya Iria-inĩ rĩa Araba (nĩrĩo Iria rĩa Cumbĩ), mũhuro wa iharũrũka cia 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].
Hĩndĩ ĩyo nĩndamwathire ngĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Jehova Ngai wanyu nĩamũheete bũrũri ũyũ mũwĩgwatĩre. No andũ anyu arĩa marĩ na hinya, arĩa meeohete indo cia mbaara, no nginya maringe mũrĩmo ũrĩa ũngĩ mbere ya andũ a Isiraeli ariũ a ithe wanyu.
19 But your wives and children and your very numerous cattle must stay in the towns that I have allotted to you.
No rĩrĩ, atumia anyu, na ciana cianyu, o na ũhiũ wanyu (nĩnjũũĩ nĩ mũrĩ na ũhiũ mũingĩ) no maikare matũũra-inĩ marĩa ndĩmũheete,
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.’
nginya rĩrĩa Jehova akaahe ariũ a thoguo ũhurũko ta ũrĩa amũheete inyuĩ, nao makorwo meyoeire bũrũri ũrĩa Jehova Ngai wanyu ekũmahe, mũrĩmo ũrĩa ũngĩ wa Rũũĩ rwa Jorodani. Thuutha ũcio-rĩ, o mũndũ wanyu no acooke handũ harĩa ndĩmũheete mwĩgwatĩre hatuĩke hanyu.”
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.
Ningĩ ngĩatha Joshua ngĩmwĩra atĩrĩ: “Nĩwĩoneire na maitho maku ũrĩa wothe Jehova Ngai wanyu ekĩte athamaki acio eerĩ. Ũguo noguo Jehova ageeka mothamaki marĩa mothe marĩ kũndũ kũu mũrathiĩ.
22 Do not be afraid of those people, because Yahweh our God is the one who will fight for you all.’”
Ndũkanametigĩre; Jehova Ngai wanyu nĩwe ũrĩmũrũagĩrĩra.”
23 “At that time, I earnestly prayed, saying
Hĩndĩ ĩyo nĩndathaithire Jehova ngĩmwĩra atĩrĩ:
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].
“We Mwathani Jehova, nĩwambĩrĩirie kuonia ndungata yaku ũnene waku na hinya wa guoko gwaku. Nĩ ũndũ-rĩ, nĩ ngai ĩrĩkũ igũrũ kana thĩ ĩngĩĩka ciĩko cia hinya ta iria wee wĩkaga?
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.’
Reke ninge kũndũ kũu mũrĩmo wa Rũũĩ rwa Jorodani ngeyonere bũrũri mwega, bũrũri ũcio mwega ũrĩ irĩma o na bũrũri wa 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!
No nĩ ũndũ wanyu-rĩ, Jehova nĩandakarĩire na ndangĩathikĩrĩirie. Jehova akiuga atĩrĩ, “Reke ũhoro ũcio ũkinye hau, ndũkanjarĩrie rĩngĩ ũndũ wĩgiĩ ũhoro ũcio.
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].
Ambata gacũmbĩrĩ ga kĩrĩma kĩa Pisiga wĩrorere mwena wa ithũĩro, na wa gathigathini, na wa gũthini, o na wa irathĩro. Wĩrorere bũrũri ũcio na maitho maku, nĩ ũndũ ndũkũringa rũũĩ rũrũ rwa Jorodani.
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].’
No rĩrĩ, taara Joshua, na ũmũũmĩrĩrie, na ũmwĩkĩre hinya, nĩgũkorwo nĩwe ũgaatongoria andũ aya maringe mathiĩ mũrĩmo ũrĩa ũngĩ, na atũme magae bũrũri ũcio ũkuona.”
29 So we remained in the [Jordan River] Valley close to Beth-Peor [town].”
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio tũgĩikara kũu gĩtuamba-inĩ hakuhĩ na Bethi-Peori.
