< Gũcookerithia 2 >
1 Thuutha ũcio tũkĩhũndũka, tũkiumagara tũrorete na werũ-inĩ, tũgĩthiĩ na njĩra ĩrĩa yerekeire Iria Itune, o ta ũrĩa Jehova anjĩĩrĩte. Tũkĩũrũũra bũrũri ũcio ũrĩ irĩma wa Seiru ihinda iraaya.
And we turned, and took our journey into the wilderness by the way of the Red sea, as Jehovah had said unto me; and we went round mount Seir many days.
2 Nake Jehova agĩcooka akĩnjĩĩra atĩrĩ,
And Jehovah spoke to me, saying,
3 “Nĩmũrũũrĩte bũrũri ũyũ ũrĩ irĩma ihinda rĩa kũigana; rĩu garũrũkai mũrorete mwena wa gathigathini.
Ye have gone round this mountain long enough: turn you northward.
4 Atha andũ, ũmeere atĩrĩ: ‘Mũrĩ hakuhĩ gũtuĩkanĩria bũrũri wa ariũ a ithe wanyu, njiaro cia Esaũ, arĩa matũũraga Seiru. Nĩmekũmwĩtigĩra, no inyuĩ mwĩmenyererei mũno.
And command the people, saying, Ye are to pass through the border of your brethren the children of Esau, who dwell in Seir; and they will be afraid of you; and ye shall be very guarded:
5 Mũtikamoogite nĩguo mũrũe, nĩgũkorwo ndikũmũhe bũrũri wao o na hanini, o na handũ mũngĩkinyithia kũgũrũ. Nĩheete Esaũ bũrũri ũcio ũrĩ irĩma wa Seiru ũtuĩke wake mwene.
attack them not; for I will not give you of their land, no, not so much as a foot-breadth; for I have given mount Seir as a possession unto Esau.
6 Irio iria mũrĩrĩĩaga na maaĩ marĩa mũrĩnyuuaga mũrĩmarĩhaga na betha.’”
Ye shall buy of them food for money, that ye may eat; and water shall ye also buy of them for money, that ye may drink;
7 Jehova Ngai wanyu nĩamũrathimĩte wĩra-inĩ wothe wa moko manyu. Nĩamũmenyereire rũgendo-inĩ rwanyu werũ-inĩ ũyũ mũnene. Mĩaka ĩyo mĩrongo ĩna ĩthirĩte, Jehova Ngai wanyu akoretwo hamwe na inyuĩ, na mũtirĩ mwaga kĩndũ o na kĩ.
for Jehovah thy God hath blessed thee in all the work of thy hand. He hath known thy walking through this great wilderness: these forty years hath Jehovah thy God been with thee; thou hast lacked nothing.
8 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio tũgĩkĩhĩtũkĩra kũu kwa ariũ a ithe witũ, njiaro cia Esaũ, acio maatũire kũu Seiru. Nĩtwatigire barabara ya gũthiĩ Araba ĩrĩa yumĩte Elathu na Ezioni-Geberi, tũkĩnyiita barabara ya werũ ya gũthiĩ Moabi.
And we passed by from our brethren the children of Esau, who dwelt in Seir, by the plain, by Elath, and by Ezion-geber, and we turned and passed by the way of the wilderness of Moab.
9 Ningĩ Jehova akĩnjĩĩra atĩrĩ, “Ndũgathĩĩnie andũ a Moabi kana ũmogite nĩguo mũrũe, nĩgũkorwo ndikũmũhe bũrũri wao o na hanini. Nĩndĩkĩtie kũheana Ari kũrĩ njiaro cia Loti gũtuĩke igai rĩao.”
And Jehovah said to me, Distress not the Moabites, neither engage with them in battle; for I will not give thee of their land a possession; for unto the children of Lot have I given Ar as a possession.
10 (Aemi nĩo maatũũraga kuo tene, andũ maarĩ hinya na aingĩ mũno, na makaraiha ta ariũ a Anaki.
(The Emim dwelt therein in times past, a people great, and many, and tall as the Anakim.
11 O nao andũ acio maatuĩtwo Arefai, o ta Anaki, no andũ a Moabi maameetaga Aemi.
They also are reckoned as giants like the Anakim; but the Moabites call them Emim.
12 Aahori tene maatũũraga Seiru, no njiaro cia Esaũ ikĩmarutũrũra, makiuma kuo. Njiaro cia Esaũ ikĩniina Aahori, ikĩmeeheria mbere yao, na magĩtũũra kuo ithenya rĩao, o ta ũrĩa andũ a Isiraeli meekire bũrũri-inĩ ũrĩa Jehova aamaheire megwatĩre ũtuĩke wao.)
And in Seir dwelt the Horites in times past; and the children of Esau dispossessed them, and destroyed them from before them, and dwelt in their stead; as Israel did to the land of their possession, which Jehovah gave to them.)
13 Nake Jehova akiuga atĩrĩ, “Rĩu ũkĩrai mũringe Kĩanda gĩa Zeredi.” Nĩ ũndũ ũcio tũgĩkĩringa karũũĩ kau.
Now rise up, and pass over the torrent Zered. And we passed over the torrent Zered.
14 Mĩaka mĩrongo ĩtatũ na ĩnana nĩyathirire kuuma hĩndĩ ĩrĩa tuoimire Kadeshi-Barinea nginya rĩrĩa twaringire Kĩanda kĩu gĩa Zeredi. Ihinda-inĩ rĩu rũciaro ruothe rwa andũ arĩa maathiiaga ita rũgĩkorwo rũthirĩte kũu kambĩ-inĩ, o ta ũrĩa Jehova aamerĩte na mwĩhĩtwa.
Now the days in which we came from Kadesh-barnea, until we had come over the torrent Zered, were thirty-eight years; until the whole generation of the men of war was consumed from the midst of the camp, as Jehovah had sworn unto them.
15 Guoko kwa Jehova nĩ kwamokĩrĩire nginya hĩndĩ ĩrĩa aamaniinire biũ, magĩthira kũu kambĩ-inĩ.
Moreover the hand of Jehovah was against them to destroy them from the midst of the camp, until they were consumed.
16 Na rĩrĩ, rĩrĩa mũndũ wa mũthia gatagatĩ-inĩ ka andũ acio arĩa maathiiaga ita aakuire-rĩ,
And it came to pass when all the men of war were consumed, having died off from among the people,
17 Jehova akĩnjĩĩra atĩrĩ,
that Jehovah spoke to me, saying,
18 “Ũmũthĩ nĩmũkũhĩtũkĩra Ari, bũrũri-inĩ wa Moabi.
Thou art to pass this day over the border of Moab, [which is] Ar,
19 Mwakinya kũrĩ Aamoni, mũtikamathĩĩnie kana mũmoogite nĩguo mũrũe, nĩgũkorwo ndikũmũhe bũrũri o na ũmwe wa Aamoni. Nĩndĩũheanĩte kũrĩ njiaro cia Loti ũtuĩke igai rĩao.”
and come near over against the children of Ammon; thou shalt not distress them nor attack them; for I will not give thee of the land of the children of Ammon a possession; for unto the children of Lot have I given it as a possession.
20 (O naguo ũcio watuĩtwo ta bũrũri wa Arefai, arĩa matũũrĩte kuo, no Aamoni maametaga Azamuzumi.
(That also is reckoned a land of giants: giants dwelt therein in time past, and the Ammonites call them Zamzummim;
21 Maarĩ andũ marĩ hinya na aingĩ na makaraiha ta Aanaki. Jehova nĩamaniinire makĩeherera Aamoni, nao makĩmaingata magĩtũũra kuo ithenya rĩao.
a people great, and many, and tall as the Anakim; and Jehovah destroyed them before them, and they dispossessed them, and dwelt in their stead;
22 Ũguo noguo Jehova eekĩire njiaro cia Esaũ arĩa maatũũrĩte Seiru, hĩndĩ ĩrĩa aaniinire Aahori mehere mbere yao. Nĩmamarutũrũrire, na nĩo matũũraga kuo ithenya rĩao nginya ũmũthĩ.
as he did to the children of Esau, who dwelt in Seir, from before whom he destroyed the Horites; and they dispossessed them, and dwelt in their stead, even to this day.
23 Nao Aavi arĩa maatũũraga tũtũũra-inĩ gũthiĩ o nginya Gaza, nĩmaniinirwo nĩ Akafitori arĩa moimĩte Kafitori, nao magĩtũũra kuo ithenya rĩao.)
And the Avvites who dwelt in the hamlets as far as Gazah — the Caphtorim, who came out of Caphtor, destroyed them, and dwelt in their stead.)
24 “Umagarai mũringe Kĩanda kĩa Arinoni. Na atĩrĩ, nĩneanĩte Sihoni ũrĩa, Mũamori mũthamaki wa Heshiboni, na bũrũri wake moko-inĩ manyu. Ambĩrĩriai kũrũa nake, mwĩgwatĩre bũrũri ũcio.
Rise up, take your journey, and pass over the river Arnon. Behold, I have given into thy hand Sihon the king of Heshbon, the Amorite, and his land: begin, take possession, and engage with him in battle.
25 Mũthenya ũyũ wa ũmũthĩ nĩngwambĩrĩria gũtũma andũ a ndũrĩrĩ ciothe iria itũire gũkũ thĩ inyiitwo nĩ guoya na kĩmako nĩ ũndũ wanyu. Ciaigua ũhoro wanyu nĩikũinaina na inyiitwo nĩ kĩgirĩko kĩnene nĩ ũndũ wanyu.”
This day will I begin to put the dread of thee and the fear of thee upon the peoples under the whole heaven; who will hear report of thee, and will tremble, and quake because of thee.
26 Tũrĩ werũ-inĩ wa Kedemothu nĩndatũmire andũ kũrĩ Sihoni mũthamaki wa Heshiboni ngĩmũũria tũgĩe na thayũ, na ngĩmwĩra atĩrĩ,
And I sent messengers out of the wilderness of Kedemoth unto Sihon the king of Heshbon with words of peace, saying,
27 “Twĩtĩkĩrie tũtuĩkanĩrie bũrũri waku. Tũkũrũmĩrĩra barabara ĩrĩa nene tũtikwahũka na mwena wa ũrĩo kana wa ũmotho.
Let me pass through thy land: by the highway alone will I go; I will neither turn to the right hand nor to the left.
28 Twenderiei irio cia kũrĩa na maaĩ ma kũnyua, tũrĩhe na betha. No rĩrĩ, ũtwĩtĩkĩrie tũtuĩkanĩrie kũu na magũrũ,
Thou shalt sell me food for money that I may eat; and thou shalt give me water for money that I may drink; I will only pass through on my feet,
29 o ta ũrĩa njiaro cia Esaũ iria itũũraga Seiru, na andũ a Moabi arĩa matũũraga Ari maatwĩkire, nginya tũringe Rũũĩ rwa Jorodani tũkinye bũrũri ũrĩa Jehova Ngai witũ araatũhe.”
— as the children of Esau who dwell in Seir, and the Moabites who dwell in Ar, did to me, — until I shall pass over the Jordan into the land which Jehovah our God giveth us.
30 No Sihoni mũthamaki wa Heshiboni nĩaregire tũtuĩkanĩrie kuo. Nĩgũkorwo Jehova Ngai wanyu nĩatũmire roho wake ũngʼathie, na akĩũmia ngoro yake, nĩgeetha amũneane moko-inĩ manyu, o ta ũrĩa ekĩte rĩu.
But Sihon the king of Heshbon would not let us pass by him; for Jehovah thy God hardened his spirit, and made his heart obdurate, that he might give him into thy hand, as it is this day.
31 Jehova akĩnjĩĩra atĩrĩ, “Nĩndambĩrĩria kũneana Sihoni na bũrũri wake kũrĩ inyuĩ. Ambĩrĩriai kũmahũũra mũmatoorie, nĩgeetha mwĩgwatĩre bũrũri ũcio wake.”
And Jehovah said to me, Behold, I begin to give Sihon and his land before thee: begin, take possession, that thou mayest possess his land.
32 Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa Sihoni oimagarire na mbũtũ yake yothe nĩguo acemanie na ithuĩ mbaara-inĩ kũu Jahazu,
And Sihon came out against us for battle, he and all his people, to Jahaz.
33 Jehova Ngai witũ nĩamũneanire moko-inĩ maitũ na ithuĩ tũkĩmũhũũra, tũkĩmũũraga hamwe na ariũ ake na mbũtũ yake yothe.
But Jehovah our God gave him up before us; and we smote him, and his sons, and his whole people.
34 Hĩndĩ ĩyo tũkĩnyiita matũũra make mothe tũkĩmaananga biũ, o na tũkĩniina arũme, na andũ-a-nja, o na ciana. Tũtiatigirie mũndũ o na ũmwe.
And we took all his cities at that time, and utterly destroyed every city, men, and women, and little ones: we let none escape.
35 No mahiũ na indo iria twaatahire kuuma matũũra macio twanyiitire nĩtweyoeire tũgĩthiĩ nacio.
Only the cattle we took as booty for ourselves, and the spoil of the cities which we took.
36 Kuuma Aroeri mũthia-inĩ wa kĩanda kĩa Arinoni, na kuuma itũũra rĩrĩa rĩarĩ kĩanda-inĩ kĩu, nginya o Gileadi, gũtirĩ itũũra o na rĩmwe rĩatũkĩririe hinya. Jehova Ngai witũ nĩaneanire matũũra mothe kũrĩ ithuĩ.
From Aroer, which is on the bank of the river Arnon, and the city that is in the ravine even to Gilead, there was not one city too strong for us: Jehovah our God delivered all before us.
37 No kũringana na watho wa Jehova Ngai witũ, mũtiigana gũkuhĩrĩria bũrũri o na ũrĩkũ wa Aamoni, kana mũgĩkuhĩrĩria bũrũri ũrĩa wariganĩtie na Rũũĩ rwa Jaboku, o na kana bũrũri ũrĩa ũthiũrũrũkĩirie matũũra marĩa marĩ irĩma-inĩ.
Only thou didst not approach the land of the children of Ammon, the whole border of the river Jabbok, nor the cities of the mountain, nor to whatsoever Jehovah our God had forbidden us.
