< 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.
Then we turned, and took our journey into the wilderness by the way to the Red Sea, as YHWH spoke to me; and we encircled Mount Seir many days.
2 Nake Jehova agĩcooka akĩnjĩĩra atĩrĩ,
YHWH spoke to me, saying,
3 “Nĩmũrũũrĩte bũrũri ũyũ ũrĩ irĩma ihinda rĩa kũigana; rĩu garũrũkai mũrorete mwena wa gathigathini.
"You have encircled this mountain long enough. Turn 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.
Command the people, saying, 'You are to pass through the border of your brothers the descendants of Esau, who dwell in Seir; and they will be afraid of you: take good heed to yourselves therefore;
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.
do not contend with them; for I will not give you of their land, no, not so much as for the sole of the foot to tread on; because I have given Mount Seir to Esau for a possession.
6 Irio iria mũrĩrĩĩaga na maaĩ marĩa mũrĩnyuuaga mũrĩmarĩhaga na betha.’”
You shall purchase food of them for money, that you may eat; and you shall also buy water of them for money, that you 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 YHWH your God has blessed you in all the work of your hand; he has known your walking through this great wilderness: these forty years YHWH your God has been with you; you have 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.
So we passed by from our brothers the descendants of Esau, who dwell in Seir, from the way of the Arabah from Eilat and from Ezion Geber. 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.”
YHWH said to me, "Do not bother Moab, neither contend with them in battle; for I will not give you of his land for a possession; because I have given Ar to the descendants of Lot for a possession."
10 (Aemi nĩo maatũũraga kuo tene, andũ maarĩ hinya na aingĩ mũno, na makaraiha ta ariũ a Anaki.
(The Emim lived there before, 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.
these also are accounted Rephaim, as 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.)
The Horites also lived in Seir before, but the descendants of Esau succeeded them; and they destroyed them from before them, and lived in their place; as Israel did to the land of his possession, which YHWH gave to them.)
13 Nake Jehova akiuga atĩrĩ, “Rĩu ũkĩrai mũringe Kĩanda gĩa Zeredi.” Nĩ ũndũ ũcio tũgĩkĩringa karũũĩ kau.
"Now rise up, and cross over the Wadi Zered." So we went over the Wadi 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.
The days in which we came from Kadesh Barnea, until we had come over the Wadi Zered, were thirty-eight years; until all the generation of the men of war were consumed from the midst of the camp, as YHWH swore to them.
15 Guoko kwa Jehova nĩ kwamokĩrĩire nginya hĩndĩ ĩrĩa aamaniinire biũ, magĩthira kũu kambĩ-inĩ.
Moreover the hand of God 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,
So it happened, when all the men of war were consumed and dead from among the people,
17 Jehova akĩnjĩĩra atĩrĩ,
that YHWH spoke to me, saying,
18 “Ũmũthĩ nĩmũkũhĩtũkĩra Ari, bũrũri-inĩ wa Moabi.
"You are this day to pass over Ar, the border of Moab:
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 when you come near over against the people of Ammon, do not bother them, nor contend with them; for I will not give you of the land of the people of Ammon for a possession; because I have given it to the people of Lot for a possession."
20 (O naguo ũcio watuĩtwo ta bũrũri wa Arefai, arĩa matũũrĩte kuo, no Aamoni maametaga Azamuzumi.
(That also is accounted a land of Rephaim: Rephaim lived in it before; but 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; but YHWH destroyed them before them; and they succeeded them, and lived in their place;
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 for the descendants of Esau, who dwell in Seir, when he destroyed the Horites from before them; and they succeeded them, and lived in their place 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 Avvim, who lived in villages as far as Gaza, the Caphtorim, who came forth out of Caphtor, destroyed them, and lived in their place.)
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 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 contend 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 you and the fear of you on the peoples who are under the whole sky, who shall hear the report of you, and shall tremble, and be in anguish because of you."
26 Tũrĩ werũ-inĩ wa Kedemothu nĩndatũmire andũ kũrĩ Sihoni mũthamaki wa Heshiboni ngĩmũũria tũgĩe na thayũ, na ngĩmwĩra atĩrĩ,
I sent messengers out of the wilderness of Kedemoth to Sihon 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 your land: I will go along by the highway, I will turn neither 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,
You shall sell me food for money, that I may eat; and give me water for money, that I may drink: only let me 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 people 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 YHWH our God gives 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 king of Heshbon would not let us pass by him; for YHWH your God hardened his spirit, and made his heart obstinate, that he might deliver him into your hand, as at this day.
31 Jehova akĩnjĩĩra atĩrĩ, “Nĩndambĩrĩria kũneana Sihoni na bũrũri wake kũrĩ inyuĩ. Ambĩrĩriai kũmahũũra mũmatoorie, nĩgeetha mwĩgwatĩre bũrũri ũcio wake.”
YHWH said to me, "Look, I have begun to deliver up Sihon and his land before you: begin to possess, that you may inherit his land."
32 Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa Sihoni oimagarire na mbũtũ yake yothe nĩguo acemanie na ithuĩ mbaara-inĩ kũu Jahazu,
Then Sihon came out against us, he and all his people, to battle at Jahaz.
33 Jehova Ngai witũ nĩamũneanire moko-inĩ maitũ na ithuĩ tũkĩmũhũũra, tũkĩmũũraga hamwe na ariũ ake na mbũtũ yake yothe.
YHWH our God delivered him up before us; and we struck him, and his sons, and all his 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.
We took all his cities at that time, and utterly destroyed every inhabited city, with the women and the little ones; we left none remaining:
35 No mahiũ na indo iria twaatahire kuuma matũũra macio twanyiitire nĩtweyoeire tũgĩthiĩ nacio.
only the livestock we took for a prey to ourselves, with the spoil of the cities which we had taken.
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 edge of the Valley of the Arnon, and the city that is in the valley, even to Gilead, there was not a city too high for us; YHWH our God delivered up 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 to the land of the people of Ammon you did not come near; all the side of the river Jabbok, and the cities of the hill country, and wherever YHWH our God forbade us.
