1 A LAILA huli ae la kakou, a hele aku la i ka waonahele ma ke ala o ke Kaiula, e like me ka Iehova i kauoha mai ai ia'u; a hoopuni ae la kakou i ka mauna o Seira i na la he nui.
Then we turned around and headed back into the desert on the road that leads to the Red Sea, as the Lord had told me, and we wandered around Mount Seir for a long time.
2 Olelo mai la o Iehova ia'u, i mai la,
This is when the Lord told me,
3 Ua loihi ko oukou hoopuni ana i keia mauna: e huli ae oukou ma ke kukuluakau.
“You have been wandering around this mountain long enough. Go back north,
4 A e kauoha aku oe i na kanaka, penei, E hele ana oukou ma ka mokuna o ko oukou poe hoahanau, o na mamo a Esau e noho ana ma Seira; a e makau mai auanei lakou ia oukou: nolaila e malama nui oukou ia oukou iho:
and give these orders to the people: ‘You are going to pass through the territory of your relatives, the descendants of Esau, who live in Seir. They will be frightened of you, so you need to be very careful.
5 Mai hakaka oukou me lakou; no ka mea, aole au e haawi aku i kekahi o ko lakou aina no oukou, aole i kekahi kapuwai; no ka mea, ua haawi aku au i ka mauna o Seira i wahi e noho ai no Esau.
Don't fight them, for I'm not going to give you any of their land, not even the size of a footprint, because I have given Mount Seir to Esau and it belongs to him.
6 E kuai oukou i ka lakou ai i ke kala, i ai ai oukou; a e kuai hoi oukou i ko lakou wai i ke kala, i inu ai oukou.
Pay them with money for the food you eat and the water you drink.’
7 No ka mea, ua hoopomaikai mai o Iehova kou Akua ia oe ma na hana a pau a kou lima; ua ike no ia i kou hele ana ma keia waonahele nui; me oe no o Iehova kou Akua i neia mau makahiki he kanaha; aole oe i nele i kekahi mea.
Remember that the Lord your God has blessed you in everything you've done. He has looked after you during your journey through this large desert. The Lord your God has been with you for these forty years, and you haven't lacked anything.”
8 A ia kakou i maalo ae mai ko kakou poe hoahanau aku, na mamo a Esau, e noho ana ma Seira, ma ke ala o ka papu mai Elata aku, a mai Ezionagabera, huli ae kakou a hele i ke ala ma ka waonahele o Moaba.
So we passed by our relatives, the descendants of Esau, who live in Seir. We didn't take the Arabah road from Elath and Ezion-geber. Instead we used the road that goes through the desert of Moab.
9 Olelo mai la o Iehova ia'u, Mai hana ino aku i ko Moaba, aole e ku e ia lakou i ke kaua ana; aole au e haawi i ko lakou aina i wahi e noho ai no oukou; no ka mea, ua haawi aku au ia Ara i wahi e noho ai no na mamo a Lota.
Then the Lord told me, “Don't cause the Moabites any trouble or fight them, for I'm not going to give you any of their land, because I have given Ar to the descendants of Lot and it belongs to them.”
10 I ka manawa mamua i noho ai ka poe Emima malaila, he poe nunui a lehulehu, he poe loihi e like me ka poe Anakima;
(A strong and numerous people called the Emim once lived there. They were as tall as the Anakim,
11 Ua manaoia lakou, he poe kanaka nunui e like me ka poe Anakima; aka, ua kapaia lakou e ko Moaba, he poe Emima.
and just like the Anakim, they were also considered as Rephaim, but the Moabites called them Emim.
12 I ka manawa mamua i noho ai ka poe Horima ma Seira: aka, na na mamo a Esau i hookuke aku lakou, a luku i ua poe la imua o lakou, a noho iho la ma ko lakou la wahi; e like me ka Iseraela i hana aku ai i ka aina o ko lakou wahi i noho ai a Iehova i haawi mai ai no lakou.
Previously the Horites lived in Seir, but the descendants of Esau took over their land. They killed the Horites and settled there, just like Israel did when they occupied the land that the Lord had given them.)
13 Ano hoi, e ku iluna, a e hele aku ma kela aoao o ke kahawai o Zareda: a hele aku kakou ma kela aoao o ke kahawai o Zareda.
Then the Lord told us, “Go and cross over Zered Brook.” So we crossed over Zered Brook.
14 A o na makahiki o ko kakou hele ana mai Kadesabanea mai, a hiki kakou ma ke kahawai o Zareda, he kanakolu ia a me kumamawalu; a pau ka hanauna a pau o na kanaka koa i ka nalowale iwaena o ka poe kaua, e like me ka Iehova i hoohiki ai ia lakou.
The time it took for us to travel from Kadesh-barnea to when we crossed over the Brook of Zered was thirty-eight years. By this time the entire generation of warriors had died and were no longer part of the camp, as the Lord had sworn to them would happen.
15 No ka mea, ku e mai la ka lima o Iehova ia lakou e luku ia lakou mailoko aku o ka poe kaua, a pau lakou i ka make.
In fact the Lord worked against them to remove them from the camp, until they were all dead.
16 A i ka manawa i pau ai na kanaka koa i ka lukuia, a i ka make iwaena o na kanaka,
Once the people's warriors had died,
17 Olelo mai la o Iehova ia'u, i mai la,
the Lord told me,
18 E hele ana oe i ka mokuna o Moaba i Ara i keia la:
“Today you will cross out of Moab at the border near Ar.
19 A hiki aku oe a kokoke i na mamo a Amona, mai hana ino aku ia lakou, aole hoi e hakaka aku me lakou: aole au e haawi i wahi e noho ai nou ma ka aina o na mamo a Amona; no ka mea, ua haawi aku au ia i wahi e noho ai no na mamo a Lota.
However, when you get enter Ammonite territory, don't cause them any trouble or fight them for I'm not going to give you any Ammonite land, because I have given it to the descendants of Lot and it belongs to them.”
20 (Ua manaoia hoi ia he aina kanaka nunui: o na kanaka nunui i noho ai malaila i ka manawa kahiko, a ua kapaia lakou e ka Amona, he Zamezumima;
(This land was previously considered as the country of the Rephaim who used to live there. However, the Ammonites called them Zamzummites.
21 He poe kanaka nunui, a lehulehu, a loihi, e like me na Anakima; aka, na Iehova lakou i luku aku imua o lakou, a hookuke aku lakou ia poe, a noho iho la ma ko lakou wahi:
They were a strong and numerous people, as tall as the Anakim. But the Lord destroyed them when the Ammonites invaded and drove them out and settled there,
22 E like me kana i hana aku ai no na mamo a Esau e noho ana ma Seira, ia ia i luku ai i ka poe Horima imua o lakou; hookuke aku la lakou ia poe, a noho iho la ma ko lakou wahi, a hiki i keia la:
just as he'd done for the descendants of Esau who lived in Seir when he destroyed the Horites. They drove them out and settled where they used to live, and are still there to this day.
23 A o ko Ava e noho ana ma Hazerima a hiki i Aza, na ko Kapetora, mai Kapetora mai, i luku aku lakou, a noho iho la ma ko lakou la wahi.)
The Avvim, living in villages as far away as Gaza, were destroyed by the Philistines, who came from Crete, and settled where they used to live.)
24 E ku oukou iluna, e hele aku, a hiki ma keia kapa o ke kahawai o Arenona: aia hoi, ua haawi aku au ia Sihona no ka Amora, ke alii o Hesebona, a me kona aina iloko o kou lima; e hoomaka oe e komo, a e ku e aku ia ia i ke kaua.
Then the Lord told us, “Get up, go and cross the Arnon Valley. Look, I have handed over to you Sihon the Amorite, king of Heshbon, as well as his land. Go and start taking it over, and fight him in battle.
25 I keia la e hoomaka ai au e kau i ka makau ia oe, a me ka weliweli ia oe, maluna o na lahuikanaka malalo ae o ka lani a pau, ka poe i lohe i kou kaulana ana, a e haalulu lakou, a e pilihua auanei nou.
From this day on, I'm going to make all nations on earth dread you—they will be terrified of you. Because of the news they hear about you they will tremble in terror when you appear.”
26 A hoouna aku la au i na elele mai ka waonahele o Kedemota aku io Sihona la, ke alii o Hesebona, me ka olelo aloha, i aku la,
Moses told the Israelites, “From the Kedemoth Desert I sent messengers with an offer of peace to Sihon, king of Heshbon, telling him,
27 E ae mai oe ia'u e hele au ma kou aina: e hele au ma ke ala loa, aole au e kapae ma ka akau, aole hoi ma ka hema.
‘Let us pass through your land. We'll stay on the main road and won't turn off either to the right or to the left.
28 E kuai mai oe i ai na'u no ke kala, i ai iho ai au; a e haawi mai i wai no'u no ke kala, i inu ai hoi au; e hele wawae wale no au;
Sell us food to eat and water to drink for money. Just let us pass through on foot,
29 (E like me na mamo a Esau, e noho ana ma Seira, a me ko Moaba e noho ana ma Ara i hana mai ai ia'u; ) a hiki aku au ma keia kapa o Ioredane, ma ka aina a Iehova ko makou Akua i haawi mai ai ia makou.
just like the descendants of Esau living in Seir and the Moabites living in Ar allowed us, until we cross over the Jordan into the country that the Lord our God is giving to us.”
30 Aka, aole i ae mai o Sihona, ke alii o Hesebona, e hele kakou ma o na la; no ka mea, hoopaakiki mai la o Iehova kou Akua i kona naau, a hooku e oia i kona manao, i hoolilo ai oia ia ia iloko o kou lima, e like me ia i keia la.
But Sihon king of Heshbon refused to let us pass through, for the Lord your God gave him a stubborn spirit and an obstinate attitude, so the Lord could hand him over to you, as he has now done.
31 A olelo mai o Iehova ia'u, aia hoi, ua hoomaka iho nei au e hoolilo ia Sihona, a me kona aina ia oe: e komo oe, i lilo ai kona aina ia oe.
Then the Lord told me, “Look, I have started handing Sihon and his land over to you. Now you can begin to conquer and take over his land.”
32 Alaila hele ku e mai la o Sihona ia kakou, oia a me kona poe kanaka a pau, i ke kana ma Iahaza.
Sihon and his whole army came out to fight us at Jahaz.
33 A hoolilo mai o Iehova ko kakou Akua ia ia imua o kakou, a luku aku la kakou ia ia, a me kana mau keiki, a me kona poe kanaka a pau.
The Lord our God handed him over to us, and we killed him, his sons, and all his army.
34 A hoopio aku la kakou i kona mau kulauakauhale a pau, a luku aku i na kanaka o na kulanakauhale a pau, a me na wahine a me na kamalii, aole kakou i hookoe i kekahi.
We also captured all his towns, and set apart for destruction the people of every town: men, women, and children. We didn't leave any survivors.
35 O na holoholona wale no ka kakou i la we pio ai na kakou, a me ka waiwai o na kulanakauhale, oia ka kakou i lawe.
All we took for ourselves was the livestock and plunder from the towns we'd captured.
36 Mai Aroera ma kapa o ke kahawai o Arenona, a me ke kulanakauhale ma ke kahawai a hiki i Gileada, aole kekahi kulanakauhale i lanakila maluna o kakou; na Iehova ko kakou Akua i hoolilo mai na mea a pau ia kakou.
No town had walls too high for us to conquer—from Aroer on the edge of the Arnon Valley, the town in the valley, all the way to Gilead. The Lord our God handed them all over to us.
37 Aole nae oe i hele ma ka aina o na mamo a Amona, aole hoi ma na wahi o ke kahawai o Iaboka, aole hoi ma na kulanakauhale o na mauna, aole hoi ma kekahi wahi a Iehova ko kakou Akua i papa mai ai ia kakou.
But you didn't go anywhere near the country of the Ammonites—the area that borders the Jabbok River or the towns of the hill country, or any other place that the Lord our God had placed off limits.
