< Deuteronomy 2 >

1 'And we turn, and journey into the wilderness, the way of the Red Sea, as Jehovah hath spoken unto me, and we go round the mount of Seir many days.
Na sima, tobalukaki mpe tokendeki na esobe, na nzela ya ebale monene ya Barozo ndenge Yawe atindaki ngai, pamba te tobalukaki mikolo ebele zingazinga ya etuka ya ngomba Seiri.
2 'And Jehovah speaketh unto me, saying,
Yawe alobaki na ngai:
3 Enough to you — is the going round of this mount; turn for yourselves northward.
« Bowumeli mingi na kobaluka zingazinga ya etuka ya bangomba oyo; sik’oyo bokende na ngambo ya nor.
4 'And the people command thou, saying, Ye are passing over into the border of your brethren, sons of Esau, who are dwelling in Seir, and they are afraid of you; and ye have been very watchful,
Pesa mitindo oyo epai ya bato: ‹ Bokomi pembeni ya koleka mokili ya bandeko na bino, bakitani ya Ezawu oyo bavandaka na Seiri. Bakobanga bino, kasi bozala mayele.
5 ye do not strive with them, for I do not give to you of their land even the treading of the sole of a foot; for a possession to Esau I have given mount Seir.
Bobundisa bango te, pamba te nakopesa bino ata eloko moko te kati na mokili na bango, ezala ata esika ya kotia lokolo na bino. Nasila kopesa, epai na Ezawu, etuka ya ngomba Seiri lokola libula na ye.
6 'Food ye buy from them with money, and have eaten; and also water ye buy from them with money, and have drunk,
Bokofuta bango palata mpo na biloko oyo bokolia mpe mpo na mayi oyo bokomela.
7 for Jehovah thy God hath blessed thee in all the work of thy hands; He hath known thy walking in this great wilderness these forty years; Jehovah thy God [is] with thee; thou hast not lacked anything.
Yawe, Nzambe na bino, apamboli bino na misala nyonso ya maboko na bino. Abateli bino na esobe oyo ya monene mibu tuku minei. Yawe, Nzambe na bino, azali elongo na bino mpe bozangi eloko moko te. › »
8 'And we pass by from our brethren, sons of Esau, who are dwelling in Seir, by the way of the plain, by Elath, and by Ezion-Gaber; and we turn, and pass over the way of the wilderness of Moab;
Na sima, totikaki bandeko na biso, bakitani ya Ezawu oyo bavandaka na Seiri. Tobalukaki wuta na nzela ya Araba oyo ewuta na Eyilati mpe na Etsioni-Geberi, mpe tokendeki na nzela ya esobe ya Moabi.
9 and Jehovah saith unto me, Do not distress Moab, nor stir thyself up against them [in] battle, for I do not give to thee of their land [for] a possession; for to the sons of Lot I have given Ar [for] a possession.'
Yawe alobaki na ngai: « Bomona bato ya Moabi lokola banguna na bino te mpe bobundisa bango te, pamba te nakopesa bino ata eloko moko te kati na mokili na bango. Nasila kopesa mokili ya Ari lokola bozwi epai ya bakitani ya Loti. »
10 'The Emim formerly have dwelt in it, a people great, and numerous, and tall, as the Anakim;
Bato ya Emimi nde bazalaki kovanda kuna na kala. Bazalaki makasi mpe ebele, bingambe lokola bana ya Anaki.
11 Rephaim they are reckoned, they also, as the Anakim; and the Moabites call them Emim.
Bango mpe bazalaki komonana lokola bato ya Refayimi ndenge moko na bana ya Anaki. Kasi bato ya Moabi bazalaki kobenga bango bato ya Emimi.
12 And in Seir have the Horim dwelt formerly; and the sons of Esau dispossess them, and destroy them from before them, and dwell in their stead, as Israel hath done to the land of his possession, which Jehovah hath given to them;
Bato ya Ori mpe bazalaki kovanda na Seiri kasi bakitani ya Ezawu babenganaki bango. Babomaki bato ya Ori liboso na bango mpe bakomaki kovanda na bisika na bango ndenge kaka Isalaele asalaki mpo na mokili oyo Yawe apesaki bango lokola bozwi.
13 now, rise ye, and pass over for yourselves the brook Zered; and we pass over the brook Zered.
Yawe alobaki: « Sik’oyo, botelema mpe bokatisa lubwaku ya Zeredi. » Boye totikaki lubwaku.
14 'And the days which we have walked from Kadesh-Barnea until that we have passed over the brook Zered, [are] thirty and eight years, till the consumption of all the generation of the men of battle from the midst of the camp, as Jehovah hath sworn to them;
Mibu tuku misato na mwambe elekaki wuta tango tolongwaki na Kadeshi-Barinea kino tokatisaki lubwaku ya Zeredi. Banda wana, molongo nyonso ya bato oyo babundaki bitumba bakufaki kati na molako ndenge Yawe alapaki ndayi mpo na bango.
15 and also the hand of Jehovah hath been against them, to destroy them from the midst of the camp, till they are consumed.
Loboko ya Yawe ebalukelaki bango kino asilisaki koboma bango nyonso kati na molako.
16 'And it cometh to pass, when all the men of battle have finished dying from the midst of the people,
Tango bato ya suka kati na bato oyo bazalaki kobunda bitumba basilaki kokufa,
17 that Jehovah speaketh unto me, saying,
Yawe alobaki na ngai:
18 Thou art passing over to-day the border of Moab, even Ar,
« Lelo oyo, okokatisa Moabi mpe Ari.
19 and thou hast come near over-against the sons of Ammon, thou dost not distress them, nor stir up thyself against them, for I do not give [any] of the land of the sons of Ammon to thee [for] a possession; for to the sons of Lot I have given it [for] a possession.
Tango okokoma na mokili ya bato ya Amoni, komona bango lokola banguna te mpe kobundisa bango te, pamba te nakopesa yo ata eteni moko te ya mabele kati na mokili ya bakitani ya bato ya Amoni. Nasilaki kopesa yango lokola bozwi epai ya bakitani ya Loti. »
20 'A land of Rephaim it is reckoned, even it; Rephaim dwelt in it formerly, and the Ammonites call them Zamzummim;
Mboka yango mpe emonanaki lokola mboka oyo bato ya Refayimi bazalaki kovanda. Kasi bato ya Amoni bazalaki kobenga bato ya Refayimi: bato ya Zamizumi.
21 a people great, and numerous, and tall, as the Anakim, and Jehovah destroyeth them before them, and they dispossess them, and dwell in their stead,
Bazalaki makasi mpe ebele, bingambe kaka lokola bana ya Anaki. Kasi Yawe abomaki bango liboso ya bato ya Amoni. Bato ya Amoni babenganaki bato ya Zamizumi mpe bakomaki kovanda na bisika na bango.
22 as He hath done for the sons of Esau, who are dwelling in Seir, when He destroyed the Horim from before them, and they dispossess them, and dwell in their stead, unto this day.
Yawe asalaki mpe ndenge wana mpo na bakitani ya Ezawu oyo bazalaki kovanda na Seiri tango abomaki bato ya Ori liboso na bango. Bakitani ya Ezawu babenganaki bato ya Ori mpe bakomaki kovanda na bisika na bango kino na mokolo ya lelo.
23 'As to the Avim who are dwelling in Hazerim unto Azzah, the Caphtorim — who are coming out from Caphtor — have destroyed them, and dwell in their stead.
Ezalaki mpe ndenge moko mpo na bato na Avi oyo bazalaki kovanda na mboka yango kino na Gaza. Bato ya Kafitori, oyo bawuta na mokili ya Kafitori, babomaki bato ya Avi mpe bakomaki kovanda na bisika na bango.
24 'Rise ye, journey and pass over the brook Arnon; see, I have given into thy hand Sihon king of Heshbon, the Amorite, and his land; begin to possess, and stir up thyself against him [in] battle.
Yawe alobaki: « Botelema, bokende mpe bokatisa lubwaku ya Arinoni. Nakabi na maboko na bino, Sikoni, moto ya Amori mpe mokonzi na Eshiboni, elongo na mokili na ye. Bobanda kobundisa yango mpe bokamata yango.
25 This day I begin to put thy dread and thy fear on the face of the peoples under the whole heavens, who hear thy fame, and have trembled and been pained because of thee.
Lelo, nakosala ete mabota nyonso ya mokili ezala na somo mpe kobanga liboso na bino. Bakoyoka sango ya makambo oyo bokosala, bongo bakolenga mpe bakozanga kimia likolo na bino. »
26 'And I send messengers from the wilderness of Kedemoth, unto Sihon king of Heshbon, — words of peace — saying,
Wuta na esobe ya Kedemoti, natindaki bantoma epai ya Sikoni, mokonzi ya Eshiboni, na maloba ya kimia.
27 Let me pass over through thy land; in the several ways I go; I turn not aside — right or left —
Nalobaki: « Tobondeli yo, tika biso tolekela na mokili na yo. Tokoleka kaka na nzela ya monene, tokobaluka te ezala na ngambo ya loboko ya mwasi to ya mobali.
28 food for money thou dost sell me, and I have eaten; and water for money thou dost give to me, and I have drunk; only, let me pass over on my feet, —
Okotekela biso biloko ya kolia mpe mayi ya komela na motuya ya palata. Kasi tika biso kaka toleka na makolo
29 as the sons of Esau who are dwelling in Seir, and the Moabites who are dwelling in Ar, have done to me — till that I pass over the Jordan, unto the land which Jehovah our God is giving to us.
ndenge bakitani ya Ezawu, oyo bavandaka na mokili ya Seiri, mpe bato ya Moabi, oyo bavandaka na Ari, basalelaki biso kino tokatisaki Yordani mpe tokotaki kati na mokili oyo Yawe, Nzambe na biso, apesi biso. »
30 'And Sihon king of Heshbon hath not been willing to let us pass over by him, for Jehovah thy God hath hardened his spirit, and strengthened his heart, so as to give him into thy hand as at this day.
Kasi Sikoni, mokonzi ya Eshiboni, aboyaki kopesa biso nzela ya kolekela na mokili na ye, pamba te Yawe, Nzambe na bino, akomisaki moto na ye makasi mpe motema na ye libanga, mpo na kokaba ye na maboko na bino ndenge asali lelo.
31 'And Jehovah saith unto me, See, I have begun to give before thee Sihon and his land; begin to possess — to possess his land.
Bongo Yawe alobaki na ngai: « Tala, nabandi kokaba na maboko na bino Sikoni mpe mokili na ye. Banda kobotola yango mpe kamata yango. »
32 'And Sihon cometh out to meet us, he and all his people, to battle to Jahaz;
Tango Sikoni elongo na mampinga na ye nyonso babimaki mpo na kobundisa biso na Yakatsi,
33 and Jehovah our God giveth him before us, and we smite him, and his sons, and all his people;
Yawe, Nzambe na biso, akabaki ye na maboko na biso mpe tobomaki ye, bana na ye ya mibali mpe mampinga na ye nyonso.
34 and we capture all his cities at that time, and devote the whole city, men, and the women, and the infants — we have not left a remnant;
Bongo, tobotolaki bingumba na ye nyonso, tobukaki bingumba nyonso, tobomaki mibali, basi mpe bana nyonso; totikaki ata moto moko te.
35 only, the cattle we have spoiled for ourselves, and the spoil of the cities which we have captured.
Kasi tomemaki mpo na biso: bibwele mpe bomengo ya bitumba oyo tokutaki na bingumba na bango.
36 'From Aroer, which [is] by the edge of the brook Arnon, and the city which [is] by the brook, even unto Gilead there hath not been a city which [is] too high for us; the whole hath Jehovah our God given before us.
Longwa na Aroeri oyo ezali na suka ya lubwaku ya Arinoni, mpe longwa na engumba oyo ezali kati na lubwaku kino na Galadi, ezalaki na engumba moko te oyo elekaki biso na makasi. Yawe, Nzambe na biso, apesaki biso yango nyonso.
37 'Only, unto the land of the sons of Ammon thou hast not drawn near, any part of the brook Jabbok, and cities of the hill-country, and anything which Jehovah our God hath [not] commanded.
Kasi bopusanaki te na mokili ya bato ya Amoni, na ngambo nyonso ya lubwaku ya Yaboki, na bingumba ya bangomba, mpe na bisika nyonso oyo Yawe, Nzambe na biso, apekisaki biso.
