Deuteronomy 2
1 Then we turned and took our journey into the wilderness by the way to the Sea of Reeds, as Yahweh had spoken to me; we went around Mount Seir for many days.
Kenaka tinabwerera ndi kuyamba ulendo wolowera ku chipululu motsatira njira ya ku Nyanja Yofiira, monga mmene Yehova anatilamulira. Kwa nthawi yayitali tinayendayenda cha ku dziko la mapiri la Seiri.
2 Yahweh spoke to me, saying,
Ndipo Yehova anati kwa ine,
3 'You have gone around this mountain long enough; turn northward.
“Mwazungulira mokwanira dziko la mapiri, tsopano tembenukirani kumpoto.
4 Command the people, saying, “You are to pass through the border of your brothers, the descendants of Esau, who live in Seir; they will be afraid of you. Therefore be careful
Apatse anthu malamulo awa: ‘Muli pafupi kudutsa mʼchigawo cha abale anu adzukulu a Esau okhala ku Seiri. Iwowa adzachita nanu mantha koma musamale kwambiri.
5 not to fight with them, for I will not give you any of their land, no, not even enough for the sole of a foot to step on; for I have given Mount Seir to Esau as a possession.
Musayambane nawo popeza sindidzakupatsani gawo lina lililonse la dziko lawo ngakhale poti mungoyika phazi. Ndamupatsa Esau dziko lamapiri la Seiri kuti likhale lakelake.
6 You will purchase food from them for money, so that you may eat; you will also buy water from them for money, so that you may drink.
Inu muyenera kuwalipira ndi siliva pa chakudya chimene mudye ndi madzi amene mumwe.’”
7 For Yahweh your God has blessed you in all the work of your hand; he has known your walking through this great wilderness. For these forty years Yahweh your God has been with you, and you have lacked nothing.”'
Yehova Mulungu wanu wakudalitsani mʼntchito zonse za manja anu. Iye wakuyangʼanirani pa ulendo wanu wodutsa mʼchipululu chachikulu. Yehova Mulungu wanu wakhala nanu mʼzaka makumi anayi, ndipo simunasowe kalikonse.
8 So we passed by our brothers, the descendants of Esau who live in Seir, away from the Arabah road, from Elath and from Ezion Geber. Then we turned and passed by the way of the wilderness of Moab.
Choncho tinapitiriza ulendo modutsa abale athu, adzukulu a Esau okhala ku Seiri. Tinapatukira njira ya ku Araba imene imachokera ku Elati ndi Ezioni Geberi ndipo tinayenda njira ya ku chipululu cha Mowabu.
9 Yahweh said to me, 'Do not trouble Moab, and do not fight with them in battle. For I will not give you his land for your own possession, because I have given Ar to the descendants of Lot, for their possession.'
Ndipo Yehova anati kwa ine, “Musawavutitse Amowabu kapena kuwaputa kuti muchite nawo nkhondo popeza sindidzakupatsani gawo lina lililonse la dziko lawo. Ndinapereka Ari kwa adzukulu a Loti ngati chuma chawo.”
10 (The Emites lived there previously, a people as great, as many, and as tall as the Anakim;
(Aemi, anthu amphamvu ndi ochuluka komanso ataliatali ngati Aanaki amakhala kumeneko.
11 these also are considered to be the Rephaim, like the Anakim; but the Moabites call them the Emim.
Ngati Aanaki, nawonso ankawayesa kuti anali Arefai, koma Amowabu ankawatcha iwo Aemi.
12 The Horites also lived in Seir previously, but the descendants of Esau succeeded them. They destroyed them from before them and lived in their place, like Israel did to the land of his possession that Yahweh gave to them.)
Ahori amakhala ku Seiri koma adzukulu a Esau anawapirikitsa. Iwo anawononga Ahori pamaso pawo nawakhalira pamalo pawo monga Aisraeli anachitira mʼdziko limene Yehova anawapatsa ngati chuma chawo).
13 “'Now rise up and go over the brook Zered.' So we went over the brook Zered.
Ndipo Yehova anati, “Tsopano nyamukani ndipo muwoloke Chigwa cha Zeredi.” Choncho tinawoloka chigwacho.
14 Now the days from when we came from Kadesh Barnea until we crossed the brook Zered, were thirty-eight years. It was by that time that all that generation of the men fit for fighting were gone from the people, as Yahweh had sworn to them.
Panapita zaka 38 kuchokera pa nthawi imene tinachoka ku Kadesi Barinea mpaka pamene tinawoloka Chigwa cha Zeredi. Pa nthawi imeneyi nʼkuti mʼbado wonse wa anthu ankhondowo utawonongeka ku msasa monga Yehova anawalumbirira.
15 Moreover, the hand of Yahweh was against that generation in order to destroy them from the people until they were gone.
Dzanja la Yehova linatsutsana nawo mpaka wonse anathera ku msasa.
16 So it happened, when all the men fit for fighting were dead and gone from among the people,
Tsono atafa munthu wotsiriza mwa anthu ankhondowo,
17 that Yahweh spoke to me, saying,
Yehova anati kwa ine,
18 'You are today to pass over Ar, the border of Moab.
“Lero mudutsa malire a Mowabu ku Ari podzera ku Ari.
19 When you come near opposite the people of Ammon, do not trouble them or fight them; for I will not give you any of the land of the people of Ammon as a possession; because I have given it to the descendants of Lot as a possession.'”
Mukafika kwa Aamoni, musawavutitse kapena kuwaputa, popeza sindidzakupatsani gawo lililonse la dziko la Aamoni. Ine ndalipereka dzikoli ngati chuma kwa adzukulu a Loti.”
20 (That also is considered to be a land of the Rephaim. The Rephaim lived there previously—but the Ammonites call them Zamzummim—
(Ilinso ankaliyesa dziko la Arefai amene ankakhala kumeneko. Koma Aamoni ankawatcha iwo Azamuzumi.
21 a people as great, as many, and as tall as the Anakim. But Yahweh destroyed them before the Ammonites, and they succeeded them and lived in their place.
Iwo anali anthu amphamvu ndiponso ochuluka, ataliatali ngati Aanaki. Yehova anawawononga ndi kuwachotsa pamaso pa Aamoni, amene anawapirikitsa nawakhalira pa malo pawo.
22 This Yahweh also did for the people of Esau, who live in Seir, when he destroyed the Horites from before them, and the descendants of Esau succeeded them and have lived in their place even until today.
Yehova anachitanso chimodzimodzi ndi adzukulu a Esau omwe anakhazikika ku Seiri atawononga Ahori powachotsa pamaso pawo. Iwo anawapirikitsa Ahoriwo ndi kuwakhalira pamalo pawo mpaka lero.
23 As for the Avvites who lived in villages as far as Gaza, the Caphtorim, who came from Caphtor, destroyed them and settled in their place.)
Ndipo za Aavi omwe ankakhala mʼmidzi yofika mpaka ku Gaza, anagonjetsedwa ndi Akafitori wochokera ku Akafitori nakhala pamalo pawo).
24 “'Now rise up, go on your journey, and pass over the Valley of the Arnon; look, I have given into your hand Sihon the Amorite, king of Heshbon, and his land. Begin to possess it, and fight with him in battle.
“Tsopano nyamukani, muwoloke khwawa la Arinoni. Taona ndapereka mʼmanja mwako Sihoni Mwamori mfumu ya Hesiboni ndi dziko lake lonse. Yambapo kutenga chuma chake ndi kumenyana naye nkhondo.
25 Today I will begin to put the fear and terror of you on the peoples that are under the whole sky; they will hear news about you and will tremble and be in anguish because of you.'
Lero lomwe lino ndidzayamba kuyika chiopsezo ndi mantha pa mitundu yonse pansi pa thambo kuti akuope. Iwowo adzamva zambiri yako ndipo adzanjenjemera ndi kuwawidwa mtima chifukwa cha iwe.”
26 I sent messengers from the wilderness of Kedemoth to Sihon, king of Heshbon, with words of peace, saying,
Ine ndinatuma amithenga kuchokera ku chipululu cha Kedemoti kupita kwa Sihoni mfumu ya Hesiboni kukanena mawu ofuna mtendere ndipo ndinati,
27 'Let me pass through your land; I will go along the highway; I will turn neither to the right hand nor to the left.
“Tiloleni tidutse mʼdziko mwanu. Ife tidzangodutsa ndi msewu waukulu, ndipo sitidzapatukira kumanja kapena kumanzere.
28 You will sell me food for money, so that I may eat; give me water for money, so that I may drink; only let me pass through on my feet;
Mutigulitse chakudya kuti tidye ndi madzi kuti timwe pa mtengo wa siliva. Mungotilola kuti tidutse, tikuyenda pansi
29 as the descendants of Esau who live in Seir, and as the Moabites who live in Ar, did for me; until I pass over the Jordan into the land that Yahweh our God is giving us.'
monga mmene anatichitira adzukulu a Esau okhala ku Seiri ndi Amowabu okhala ku Ari mpaka titawoloka Yorodani kufika ku dziko limene Yehova Mulungu wathu akutipatsa.”
30 But Sihon, king of Heshbon, would not let us pass by him; for Yahweh your God had hardened his mind and made his heart obstinate, that he might defeat him by your might, which he has now done today.
Koma Sihoni mfumu ya Hesiboni sanalole kuti tidutse. Popeza Yehova Mulungu wanu analimbitsa mzimu wake, nawumitsa mtima wake kuti amupereke mʼmanja mwanu monga wachitira lero lino.
31 Yahweh said to me, 'Look, I have begun to deliver up Sihon and his land before you; begin to possess it, in order that you may inherit his land.'
Yehova anati kwa ine, “Taona ndayamba kumupereka Sihoni ndi dziko lake kwa iwe. Tsopano yamba kugonjetsa ndi kulanda dziko lake.”
32 Then Sihon came out against us, he and all his people, to fight at Jahaz.
Sihoni ndi ankhondo ake atabwera kudzakumana nafe mwankhondo pa Yahazi,
33 Yahweh our God gave him over to us and we defeated him and his sons and all his people.
Yehova Mulungu anamupereka iye kwa ife ndipo tinankantha, pamodzi ndi ana ake aamuna ndi gulu lake lonse lankhondo.
34 We took all his cities at that time and completely destroyed every city—men and the women and the little ones; we left no survivor.
Pa nthawi imeneyi tinamulanda mizinda yake yonse ndi kuyiwononga kwathunthu, amuna, akazi ndi ana. Palibe amene anapulumuka.
35 Only the cattle we took as spoils for ourselves, along with the spoil of the cities that we had taken.
Koma ziweto ndi zinthu zonse zimene tinalanda mʼmizinda imene tinagonjetsayo, tinazitenga kukhala zathu.
36 From Aroer, which is on the edge of the Valley of the Arnon, and from the city that is in the valley, all the way to Gilead, there was not a city too high for us. Yahweh our God gave them into our hands.
Kuchokera ku Aroeri mʼmphepete mwa mtsinje wa Arinoni ndi ku mzinda wa ku mtsinjeko mpaka kukafika ku Giliyadi, panalibe ndi mzinda ndi umodzi omwe umene unatikanika kuwugonjetsa. Yehova Mulungu wathu anatipatsa onsewo.
37 It was only to the land of the descendants of Ammon that you did not go, as well as all the side of the Jabbok River, and the cities of the hill country—wherever Yahweh our God had forbidden us to go.
Molingana ndi lamulo la Yehova Mulungu wathu, simunalowerere dziko lililonse la Aamoni, ngakhale dera lonse la ku mtsinje wa Yaboki kapena dera lozungulira dera la ku mizinda ya ku mapiri.
