< Gũcookerithia 3 >

1 Nĩtwacookire tũkĩgarũrũka na tũkĩambata na njĩra tũrorete Bashani, nake Ogu mũthamaki wa Bashani akiumagara na mbũtũ ciake ciothe cia ita oke ahũũrane na ithuĩ kũu Edirei.
Then turning we took the road to Bashan: and Og, king of Bashan, came out against us with all his people, and made an attack on us at Edrei.
2 Nake Jehova akĩnjĩĩra atĩrĩ, “Ndũkamwĩtigĩre, nĩ ũndũ nĩndĩmũneanĩte hamwe na mbũtũ ciake ciothe cia ita na bũrũri wake moko-inĩ maku. Mwĩke o ũrĩa wekire Sihoni mũthamaki wa Aamori, ũrĩa waathanaga Heshiboni.”
And the Lord said to me, Have no fear of him: for I have given him and all his people and his land into your hands; do to him as you did to Sihon, king of the Amorites, who was ruling in Heshbon.
3 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Jehova Ngai witũ akĩneana Ogu mũthamaki wa Bashani moko-inĩ maitũ na mbũtũ yake yothe. Tũkĩmooraga na tũtiatigirie mũndũ o na ũmwe.
So the Lord our God gave up Og, king of Bashan, and all his people into our hands; and we overcame him so completely that all his people came to their end in the fight.
4 Ihinda-inĩ rĩu tũkĩmatunya matũũra mao mothe. Gũtirĩ itũũra o na rĩmwe rĩa matũũra mao mĩrongo ĩtandatũ tũtaamatunyire, marĩa maarĩ bũrũri-inĩ ũcio wothe wa Arigobu, ũthamaki-inĩ wa Ogu kũu Bashani.
At that time we took all his towns; there was not one town of the sixty towns, all the country of Argob, the kingdom of Og in Bashan, which we did not take.
5 Matũũra macio mothe maarĩ mairigĩre na hinya, na thingo ndaaya na igũrũ, na ihingo ciarĩ na mĩgĩĩko, na ningĩ no kwarĩ tũtũũra tũingĩ tũtaarĩ tũirigĩre.
All these towns had high walls round them with doors and locks; and in addition we took a great number of unwalled towns.
6 Nĩtwamanangire biũ, o ta ũrĩa twekĩte Sihoni mũthamaki wa Heshiboni, tũkĩananga matũũra mothe manene, o na tũkĩniina arũme na andũ-a-nja o na ciana.
And we put them to the curse, every town together with men, women, and children.
7 No mahiũ mothe na indo iria twatahire kuuma matũũra macio mao manene nĩtwacioire tũgĩthiĩ nacio.
But we took for ourselves all the cattle and the stored wealth of the towns.
8 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio ihinda-inĩ rĩu nĩtwatunyanire bũrũri ũrĩa warĩ irathĩro rĩa Rũũĩ rwa Jorodani, kuuma kũrĩ athamaki acio eerĩ a Aamori, naguo uumĩte kĩanda kĩa Arinoni nginya kĩrĩma-inĩ kĩa Herimoni.
At that time we took their land from the two kings of the Amorites on the far side of Jordan, from the valley of the Arnon to Mount Hermon;
9 (Kĩrĩma kĩa Herimoni gĩĩtagwo Sirioni nĩ Asidoni; nao Aamori magĩĩtaga Seniru.)
(By the Sidonians, Hermon is named Sirion, and by the Amorites Shenir; )
10 Nĩtwatahire matũũra mothe marĩa maarĩ kũndũ kwaraganu, na Gileadi guothe, na Bashani guothe, o nginya Saleka na Edirei, matũũra ma kũrĩa Ogu aathanaga kũu Bashani.
All the towns of the table-land and all Gilead and Bashan as far as Salecah and Edrei, towns of the kingdom of Og in Bashan.
11 (No Ogu mũthamaki wa Bashani wiki watigarire harĩ matigari ma Arefai. Gĩtanda gĩake kĩarĩ gĩa cuuma, na kĩarĩ na ũraihu wa makĩria ma buti ikũmi na ithatũ, na wariĩ wa buti ithathatũ. Gĩtanda kĩu kĩrĩ o kũu Raba kwa Aamoni.)
(For Og, king of Bashan, was the last of all the Rephaim; his bed was made of iron; is it not in Rabbah, in the land of the children of Ammon? It was nine cubits long and four cubits wide, measured by the common cubit.)
12 Naguo bũrũri ũrĩa twatunyanire hĩndĩ ĩyo-rĩ, nĩndagaĩire andũ a Rubeni na a Gadi bũrũri ũrĩa warĩ gathigathini wa Aroeri kũnyiitana na kĩanda kĩa Arinoni, hamwe na nuthu ya bũrũri ũrĩa ũrĩ irĩma wa Gileadi, o hamwe na matũũra makuo.
And this land which we took at that time, from Aroer by the valley of the Arnon, and half the hill-country of Gilead with its towns, I gave to the Reubenites and the Gadites.
13 Nakuo kũrĩa kũngĩ guothe gwatigaire kũu Gileadi o na Bashani guothe, kũrĩa Ogu aathanaga, ngĩkũhe nuthu ya mũhĩrĩga wa Manase. (Bũrũri wothe wa Arigobu kũu Bashani hĩndĩ ĩmwe wetagwo bũrũri wa Arefai.
The rest of Gilead and all Bashan, the kingdom of Og, all the land of Argob, together with Bashan, I gave to the half-tribe of Manasseh. (This land is named the land of the Rephaim.
14 Jairu, wa rũciaro rwa Manase, nĩegwatĩire bũrũri wothe wa Arigobu o nginya mũhaka-inĩ wa Ageshuru na Amaakathi; nakuo gũgĩĩtanio nake, nĩ ũndũ ũcio Bashani gwĩtagwo Havothu-Jairu o nginya ũmũthĩ.)
Jair, the son of Manasseh, took all the land of Argob, as far as the country of the Geshurites and the Maacathites, naming it, Bashan, Havvoth-Jair after himself, as it is to this day.)
15 Na nĩndaheanire Gileadi kũrĩ Makiru.
And Gilead I gave to Machir.
16 No andũ a Rubeni na a Gadi ndaamaheire bũrũri ũrĩa uumĩte Gileadi ũgaikũrũka nginya kĩanda kĩa Arinoni (mũhaka warĩ gatagatĩ ga kĩanda kĩu), ũgacooka ũgakinya rũũĩ-inĩ rwa Jaboku, arĩ ruo mũhaka wa Aamoni.
And the land from Gilead to the valley of the Arnon, with the middle of the valley as a limit, as far as the river Jabbok which is the limit of the country of the children of Ammon, I gave to the Reubenites and the Gadites;
17 Mũhaka wakuo wa mwena wa ithũĩro warĩ Rũũĩ rwa Jorodani kũu Araba, kuuma Kinerethu nginya Iria-inĩ rĩa Araba (nĩrĩo Iria rĩa Cumbĩ), mũhuro wa iharũrũka cia Pisiga.
As well as the Arabah, with the river Jordan as their limit, from Chinnereth to the Salt Sea, under the slopes of Pisgah to the east.
18 Hĩndĩ ĩyo nĩndamwathire ngĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Jehova Ngai wanyu nĩamũheete bũrũri ũyũ mũwĩgwatĩre. No andũ anyu arĩa marĩ na hinya, arĩa meeohete indo cia mbaara, no nginya maringe mũrĩmo ũrĩa ũngĩ mbere ya andũ a Isiraeli ariũ a ithe wanyu.
At that time I gave you orders, saying, The Lord has given you this land for your heritage: all the men of war are to go over armed before your brothers the children of Israel.
19 No rĩrĩ, atumia anyu, na ciana cianyu, o na ũhiũ wanyu (nĩnjũũĩ nĩ mũrĩ na ũhiũ mũingĩ) no maikare matũũra-inĩ marĩa ndĩmũheete,
But your wives and your little ones and your cattle (for it is clear that you have much cattle) may go on living in the towns I have given you;
20 nginya rĩrĩa Jehova akaahe ariũ a thoguo ũhurũko ta ũrĩa amũheete inyuĩ, nao makorwo meyoeire bũrũri ũrĩa Jehova Ngai wanyu ekũmahe, mũrĩmo ũrĩa ũngĩ wa Rũũĩ rwa Jorodani. Thuutha ũcio-rĩ, o mũndũ wanyu no acooke handũ harĩa ndĩmũheete mwĩgwatĩre hatuĩke hanyu.”
Till the Lord has given rest to your brothers as to you, and till they have taken for themselves the land which the Lord your God is giving them on the other side of Jordan: then you may go back, every man of you, to the heritage which I have given you.
21 Ningĩ ngĩatha Joshua ngĩmwĩra atĩrĩ: “Nĩwĩoneire na maitho maku ũrĩa wothe Jehova Ngai wanyu ekĩte athamaki acio eerĩ. Ũguo noguo Jehova ageeka mothamaki marĩa mothe marĩ kũndũ kũu mũrathiĩ.
And I gave orders to Joshua at that time, saying, Your eyes have seen what the Lord your God has done to these two kings: so will the Lord do to all the kingdoms into which you come.
22 Ndũkanametigĩre; Jehova Ngai wanyu nĩwe ũrĩmũrũagĩrĩra.”
Have no fear of them, for the Lord your God will be fighting for you.
23 Hĩndĩ ĩyo nĩndathaithire Jehova ngĩmwĩra atĩrĩ:
And at that time I made request to the Lord, saying,
24 “We Mwathani Jehova, nĩwambĩrĩirie kuonia ndungata yaku ũnene waku na hinya wa guoko gwaku. Nĩ ũndũ-rĩ, nĩ ngai ĩrĩkũ igũrũ kana thĩ ĩngĩĩka ciĩko cia hinya ta iria wee wĩkaga?
O Lord God, you have now for the first time let your servant see your great power and the strength of your hand; for what god is there in heaven or on earth able to do such great works and such acts of power?
25 Reke ninge kũndũ kũu mũrĩmo wa Rũũĩ rwa Jorodani ngeyonere bũrũri mwega, bũrũri ũcio mwega ũrĩ irĩma o na bũrũri wa Lebanoni.”
Let me go over, O Lord, and see the good land on the other side of Jordan, and that fair mountain country, even Lebanon.
26 No nĩ ũndũ wanyu-rĩ, Jehova nĩandakarĩire na ndangĩathikĩrĩirie. Jehova akiuga atĩrĩ, “Reke ũhoro ũcio ũkinye hau, ndũkanjarĩrie rĩngĩ ũndũ wĩgiĩ ũhoro ũcio.
But the Lord was angry with me because of you and would not give ear to my prayer; and the Lord said to me, Let it be enough, say no more about this thing.
27 Ambata gacũmbĩrĩ ga kĩrĩma kĩa Pisiga wĩrorere mwena wa ithũĩro, na wa gathigathini, na wa gũthini, o na wa irathĩro. Wĩrorere bũrũri ũcio na maitho maku, nĩ ũndũ ndũkũringa rũũĩ rũrũ rwa Jorodani.
Go up to the top of Pisgah, and turning your eyes to the west and the north, to the south and the east, see the land with your eyes: for you are not to go over Jordan.
28 No rĩrĩ, taara Joshua, na ũmũũmĩrĩrie, na ũmwĩkĩre hinya, nĩgũkorwo nĩwe ũgaatongoria andũ aya maringe mathiĩ mũrĩmo ũrĩa ũngĩ, na atũme magae bũrũri ũcio ũkuona.”
But give my orders to Joshua, comforting him and making him strong; for he is to go over Jordan at the head of this people, and he will give them this land which you will see for their heritage.
29 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio tũgĩikara kũu gĩtuamba-inĩ hakuhĩ na Bethi-Peori.
So we were waiting in the valley facing Beth-peor.
