< 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.
Te phoeiah, BOEIPA loh kai taengah a thui vanbangla n'hooi uh tih carhaek li long kah khosoek la n'caeh uh phoeiah Seir tlang n'hil uh khaw khohnin loh sen coeng.
2 Yahweh spoke to me, saying,
“Te dongah BOEIPA loh kai m'voek tih,
3 'You have gone around this mountain long enough; turn northward.
‘Hekah tlang khaw puet na hil uh coeng. Te dongah tlangpuei ben la mael uh laeh.
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
Na pilnam te khaw uen lamtah namamih loh thui pah. Seir ah aka om na manuca Esau koca rhoek kah khorhi aka paan nangmih te n'rhih uh ni. Te dongah boeih ngaithuen uh.
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.
Amih kah khohmuen te nangmih taengah kam paek pawt oeh dongah amih te huek boeh. Na kho khopha kah a laeh pataeng khaw Seir tlang te tah Esau kah rho lamni ka paek coeng.
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.
Buh khaw amih taengah tah tangka neh lai uh lamtah ca uh. Tui pataeng khaw amih taengah tah tangka neh lai uh lamtah o uh.
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.”'
Hekah khosoek khoham ah na van uh te BOEIPA na Pathen loh a ming tih na kut dongkah bitat boeih dongah BOEIPA na Pathen loh na yoe a then sak. Tahae due kum sawmli khuiah nangmih te hno loh m'vaitah moenih,’ a ti.”
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.
“Te dongah Seir ah kho aka sa mah manuca Esau koca rhoek te m'poeng uh tih kolken longpuei Elath neh Eziongeber lamkah n'hooi uh tih Moab khosoek longpuei la n'khum uh.
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.'
Tedae BOEIPA loh kai taengah, ‘Ar he tah Lot koca rhoek taengah rho la ka paek coeng dongah anih kah khohmuen rho te nangmih kam pae mahpawh,’ a ti. Te dongah Moab te dum boel lamtah amih te caem nen khaw huek boeh.”
10 (The Emites lived there previously, a people as great, as many, and as tall as the Anakim;
“Hlamat lamkah anih khuiah aka om Emim pilnam khaw Anakim bangla tlung khaw tlung, ping khaw ping tih bahoeng sang.
11 these also are considered to be the Rephaim, like the Anakim; but the Moabites call them the Emim.
Rapha te khaw Anakim bangla a poek uh dongah amih te Moab loh Emim la a khue uh.
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.)
Seir ah khaw a hmai ah Khori rhoek kho a sak uh coeng. Tedae Esau ca rhoek loh amih te a huul uh. Amih te a mikhmuh lamloh mitmoeng uh. A rho khohmuen ah Israel saii bangla amih yueng la kho a sak uh. Te te BOEIPA loh amih taengah a paek.”
13 “'Now rise up and go over the brook Zered.' So we went over the brook Zered.
“‘Tahae ah thoo uh lamtah Zered soklong te kan uh,’ a ti dongah Zered soklong te n'kan uh.
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.
Kadeshbarnea lamkah n'cet uh tih Zered soklong m'poeng uh duela a tue loh sawmthum neh kum rhet di coeng. BOEIPA loh a caeng vanbangla rhaehhmuen lamkah thawnpuei caemtloek hlang rhoek khaw boeih khum uh coeng.
15 Moreover, the hand of Yahweh was against that generation in order to destroy them from the people until they were gone.
Amih a mitmoeng uh duela rhaehhmuen khui lamkah amih aka khawkkhek la BOEIPA kut khaw amih taengah om.”
16 So it happened, when all the men fit for fighting were dead and gone from among the people,
“Pilnam khui lamkah caemtloek hlang boeih khaw duek tih aka boeih bangla om coeng.
17 that Yahweh spoke to me, saying,
Te dongah BOEIPA loh kai m'voek tih,
18 'You are today to pass over Ar, the border of Moab.
‘Moab khorhi kah Ar te tihnin ah vawl poeng laeh.
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.'”
Ammon koca rhoek taengla na pawk vaengah amih te dum boeh. Caemtloek nen khaw amih te huek boeh. Ammon koca rhoek kah khohmuen te nang taengah rho la kam paek moenih. Lot koca rhoek ham ni rho la ka paek,’ a ti.”
20 (That also is considered to be a land of the Rephaim. The Rephaim lived there previously—but the Ammonites call them Zamzummim—
“Te te a khui ah lamhma la Rapha rhoek a om uh van coeng dongah Rapha khohmuen la a poek. Tedae Ammoni rhoek longtah amih te Zamzomi la a khue uh.
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.
Amih te Anakim bangla pilnam loh len khaw len, yet khaw yet tih sang khaw sang dae amamih mikhmuh ah BOEIPA loh amih te a mitmoeng sak tih a haek dongah amih yueng la Ammon rhoek loh kho a sak uh.
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.
Seir kah aka om te Esau koca rhoek ham a saii pah tih Khori rhoek a mit sak bangla amih khaw a mikhmuh ah a haek uh dongah tihnin due amih yueng la Esau koca rhoek loh kho a sak uh.
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.)
Gaza vongup khui duela aka om Avvii khaw Kaptor lamkah aka lo Kapthorim rhoek loh a mit sak tih amih yueng la tloep om bal.”
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.
Thoo uh laeh. Cet uh lamtah Arnon soklong ke kat uh. Na kut dongah kam paek Amori kah Heshbon manghai Sihon te so lamtah a khohmuen te pahoi huul. Te phoeiah anih te caemtloek neh huek.
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.'
Tihnin ah he ka tong vetih nang ham birhihnah ka khueh ni. Vaan hmui boeih kah pilnam rhoek loh a mikhmuh ah nang kah hinyahnah olthang a yaak uh vaengah tlai uh vetih na mikhmuh ah kilkul uh ni.
26 I sent messengers from the wilderness of Kedemoth to Sihon, king of Heshbon, with words of peace, saying,
“Te phoeiah Kedemoth khosoek lamkah puencawn rhoek te Heshbon manghai Sihon taengla rhoepnah olka neh ka tueih tih,
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.
‘Na khohmuen long ah ka lan mai eh. Longpuei pakhat te ka vai vetih banvoei bantang la ka phael mahpawh.
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;
Buh khaw kai taengah tangka neh yoi lamtah ka ca eh. Tui khaw kai taengah tangka la han yoi lamtah ka o eh. Ka kho nen mah dawk ka lan mai eh.
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.'
BOEIPA ka Pathen loh kaimih taengah m'paek khohmuen la Jordan lamkah ka lan uh vaengah Seir ah aka om Esau koca rhoek neh Ar ah aka om Moab rhoek loh kai ham a saii uh bangla sai van mai,’ ka ti nah.”
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.
“Te vaengah mamih lan sak ham te Heshbon manghai Sihon loh a kohuem pawh. Tedae tihnin kah bangla BOEIPA na Pathen loh nang kut dongah paek a ngaih dongah ni Sihon kah mueihla te a mangkhak sak tih a thinko khaw a ning sak.”
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.'
“Tedae BOEIPA loh kai taengah, ‘So lah, Sihon neh anih khohmuen te na mikhmuh ah tloeng hamla ka tawn coeng. A khohmuen te pang pah ham tawn pah lamtah huul pah,’ a ti.
32 Then Sihon came out against us, he and all his people, to fight at Jahaz.
Te vaengah Sihon neh amah pilnam pum loh caemtloek neh mamih doe ham Jahaz ah ha pawk.
33 Yahweh our God gave him over to us and we defeated him and his sons and all his people.
Tedae anih te mamih kah BOEIPA Pathen loh mamih mikhmuh la han thak dongah amah neh anih koca rhoek kah a ca khaw, a pilnam pum khaw n'tloek uh.
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.
Te vaengah a khopuei boeih te m'buem pa uh tih khopuei takuem te n'thup uh. Huta tongpa neh camoe rhaengnaeng khaw m'paih uh pawh.
35 Only the cattle we took as spoils for ourselves, along with the spoil of the cities that we had taken.
Tedae rhamsa te mamih ham m'poelyoe uh tih khopuei rhoek te kutbuem la m'buem uh.
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.
Arnon soklong tuikung kah Aroer lamkah soklong khopuei Gilead pataeng khaw mamih ham aka phoeng khorha la om pawh. Tedae mamih kah BOEIPA Pathen loh mamih mikhmuh ah boeih a tloeng.
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.
Tedae Ammon koca rhoek kah khohmuen tah mamih BOEIPA Pathen kah a uen vanbangla Jabbok soklong paem boeih neh tlang kah khopuei boeih khaw ben uh boeh.”
