Diuteronomi 3
1 Ihe ọzọ bụ na anyị chigharịrị, gbagoo nʼụzọ gawara Bashan. Ma Ọg, eze Bashan, ya na ndị agha ya niile biliri chịrị agha pụta izute anyị nʼagha na Edrei.
“Then we turned [north] and went toward the Bashan region. Og, the king [of that area], and all his soldiers marched [south] to fight against us at Edrei [town].
2 Ma Onyenwe anyị gwara m okwu, sị, “Atụla ya egwu, nʼihi na ewerela m ya na ndị agha ya niile, na ala ya, nyefee gị nʼaka. Mee ya ihe i mere Saịhọn eze ndị Amọrait, onyeisi obodo Heshbọn.”
Yahweh said to me, ‘Do not be afraid of him, because I will enable your [army] to defeat [MTY] him and all his army and to capture all their land. Do to him what you did to Sihon, the king of the Amor people-group, who ruled in Heshbon [city].’
3 Ya mere, Onyenwe anyị bụ Chineke anyị nyefere Ọg, eze Bashan na ndị agha ya niile nʼaka anyị. Anyị gbuchapụkwara ha niile, na-ahapụghị onye ọbụla ndụ.
“So Yahweh enabled us to defeat [IDM] King Og and all his army. We killed them all; we did not allow any of them to remain alive.
4 Nʼoge ahụ, anyị lụgburu obodo ya. Ọ dịghị obodo ọbụla nʼime iri obodo isii ahụ niile nke anyị na-anaraghị ha, ya bụ akụkụ Agob niile bụ alaeze Ọg nʼime Bashan.
There were 60 cities in that region near Argob, in King Og’s kingdom of Bashan. But we captured all of them
5 Obodo ndị a bụ obodo e wusiri ike, nwechara mgbidi dị elu nke ukwuu, nwekwaa ọnụ ụzọ na mkpọrọ e ji akpọchi ha. Anyị lụgbukwara ọtụtụ obodo nta ndị ọzọ, ndị na-enweghị mgbidi.
All those cities had high walls [around them] with gates and bars. We also captured many villages that did not have walls [around them].
6 Anyị bibiri ihe niile dị nʼobodo Bashan, dịka anyị mere nʼobodo Saịhọn, eze Heshbọn. Anyị gburu mmadụ niile bi nʼime ha, nwoke, nwanyị, na ụmụntakịrị.
We completely destroyed everything, just as we had done [in the area that] King Sihon ruled. We killed all the men, women, and children.
7 Ma anụ ụlọ ha niile, na ihe nkwata si nʼobodo ha niile, bụ ihe anyị lụtara nʼagha nye onwe anyị.
But from those cities we took for ourselves all the livestock and other valuable things.
8 Mgbe ahụ, anyị napụrụ ala ahụ site nʼaka eze abụọ ndị Amọrait, ya bụ ala ndị dị nʼakụkụ ọwụwa anyanwụ osimiri Jọdan. Ha dị site na ndagwurugwu Anọn ruo nʼugwu Hemon.
“So at that time we took from those two kings of the Amor people-group all the land east of the Jordan [River], from the Arnon [River] gorge [in the south] to Hermon Mountain [in the north].”
9 (Aha ndị Saịdọn na-akpọ ugwu Hemon bụ Siriọn, ma ndị Amọrait na-akpọ ya Senia.)
(That mountain is called Sirion by the people of Sidon [city] and is called Senir by the Amor people-group.)
10 Anyị meriri obodo ndị ahụ niile dị nʼala dị larịị, meriekwa Gilead niile na Bashan, tutu ruo obodo Saleka na Edrei, obodo ndị dị nʼalaeze Ọg, eze Bashan.
“We captured all the towns on the (plateau/high level land), and all the Gilead [region], and all the Bashan [region] as far east as Edrei and Salecah towns, which also belonged to Og’s kingdom.”
11 (Ọg, eze ndị Bashan bụ naanị onye fọdụrụ ndụ nʼagbụrụ ndị Refaim. E ji igwe kwaa ihe ndina ya, nke ogologo ya dị mita anọ, nke obosara ya bụkwa mita abụọ. Ihe ndina a dị ruo taa nʼobodo Raba, otu nʼime obodo ndị Amọn.)
(Og was the last king who was a descendant of the Repha giants. His bed was made of iron. It was almost (14 feet/4 meters) long and (6 feet/2 meters) wide. It is still [RHQ] in Rabbah [city] in the Ammon area.)
12 Mgbe anyị nwetara ala ndị a, eweere m ya nye ndị Ruben, na Gad, ya bụ, oke ala dị nʼebe obodo ugwu Aroea, nke dị nʼakụkụ ndagwurugwu Anọn. Tinyekwara ọkara obodo ugwu Gilead, na obodo niile dị nʼime ya.
“From the land that we captured at that time, I allotted to the tribes of Reuben and Gad the land [north] of Aroer [town] near the Arnon [River], and some of the hilly area of the Gilead [region], along with the nearby towns.
13 Ala fọdụrụ na Gilead nakwa Bashan niile na alaeze Ọg ka m nyere otu ọkara ebo Manase. Nke a bụ ala Agob niile dị na Bashan, bụ ndị amaara dịka ala ndị Refaim.
The other part of the Gilead [region] and all of the Bashan [region], which was the Argob [region] that King Og had ruled, I allotted to half of the tribe of Manasseh.” (The entire Bashan [region] is called the land of the Repha giants.)
14 Jaịa, onye si nʼebo Manase, were ala niile dị nʼAgob, ọ bụladị ruo nʼoke ala ndị Geshua na ndị Maaka. Ọ kpọrọ ya nʼaha ya, nke mere na ruo taa ihe a na-akpọ Bashan bụ Havọt Jaịa, nke pụtara, obodo Jaịa.
“Jair, from the tribe of Manasseh, conquered all the Bashan area as far [north] as the border of the Geshur and Maacah territories. He gave his own name to the villages there, and they are still called the villages of Jair.
15 Makia ka m nyere Gilead.
The [northern part of the] Gilead [region] I allotted to the Machir [clan, who are descendants of the tribe of Manasseh].
16 Ma Ebo Ruben na Gad ka m nyere ala niile dị site na Gilead ruo nʼetiti ndagwurugwu Anọn, na site na ndagwurugwu a ruo nʼiyi Jabọk, nke bụ oke ala ụmụ Amọn. Etiti ndagwurugwu Anọn bụkwa oke ala ebo Ruben na Gad.
I allotted to the tribes of Reuben and Gad the southern part of the Gilead [region, extending south] to the Arnon [River]. The middle of the river is the [southern] boundary. The [northern] boundary is the Jabbok River, which is part of the border of the Ammon area.
17 Oke ala ha nʼakụkụ ọdịda anyanwụ bụ osimiri Jọdan nke dị nʼAraba. Oke ala a sitere na Kineret gbatịa ruo nʼOsimiri Araba (ya bụ Osimiri Nnu), nke dị na mgbada ugwu Pisga.
[To the west their territory extended] to the Jordan [River] Valley, from Galilee Lake [in the north] to the Dead Sea [in the south] and to the slopes of Pisgah [Mountain] to the east.
18 Enyekwara m unu iwu nʼoge ahụ sị, “Onyenwe anyị Chineke unu enyela unu ala a ka unu nwere ya. Ma ndị unu niile, ndị bụ dimkpa, ndị jikeere maka agha, ga-agafe nọrọ ndị Izrel ndị ọzọ nʼihu.
At that time, I told you three tribes, ‘Yahweh our God is giving you this land [east of the Jordan River], for you to occupy/capture. So now, give your soldiers weapons, and send them [across the Jordan River] ahead of the men from the other Israeli tribes [to help them to conquer/capture the land that has been allotted to them].
19 Otu ọ dị, ebe ọ bụ na unu nwere ọtụtụ anụ ụlọ, ndị nwunye unu na ụmụntakịrị unu ga-ebi nʼobodo ndị m nyere unu, lekọtaa anụ ụlọ unu anya,
But your wives and children and your very numerous cattle must stay in the towns that I have allotted to you.
20 tutu ruo mgbe Onyenwe anyị ga-enye ụmụnna unu mmeri dịka o nyere unu. Mgbe ha nwetara ala Onyenwe anyị Chineke anyị na-enye ha nʼofe Jọdan, onye ọbụla nʼime unu nwere ike lọghachi bịa biri nʼala unu.”
[Your men must help your fellow Israelis] until Yahweh enables them to live there peacefully after they capture all the land that Yahweh our God is giving to them on the west side of the Jordan [River], just like he did for you [here on the east side of the river]. After that, you all may return to this land that I have allotted to you.’
21 Nʼoge ahụ, agwara m Joshua okwu sị, “I jirila anya gị hụ ihe Onyenwe anyị Chineke gị mere eze abụọ ndị a. Otu a ka ọ ga-emekwa alaeze niile dị nʼofe Jọdan ebe unu na-aga.
And I told Joshua, ‘You [SYN] have seen everything that Yahweh our God did to those two kings, [Sihon and Og]. He will do the same thing to the people [who are now] in the land that you will be entering.
22 Atụla ha egwu, nʼihi Onyenwe anyị Chineke gị ga-alụrụ gị ọgụ.”
Do not be afraid of those people, because Yahweh our God is the one who will fight for you all.’”
23 Nʼoge ahụ, arịrịọ m Onyenwe anyị arịrịọ sị ya,
“At that time, I earnestly prayed, saying
24 “Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị ị malitela igosi mụ bụ ohu gị ịdị ukwuu gị na ike gị. O nweghị chi ọzọ dị nʼeluigwe maọbụ nʼụwa pụrụ ịrụ ọrụ ebube niile ị rụrụ.
‘Yahweh our Lord, you have merely begun to show me that you are very great and to show me the powerful things that you can do [MTY]. There is certainly no [RHQ] god in heaven or on earth who can do the powerful things/deeds that you [have done].
25 Kwere ka m gafee hụ ala ọma ahụ dị nʼofe ọzọ nke Jọdan, ala ugwu ugwu ahụ mara mma, na Lebanọn.”
So please allow me to cross the Jordan [River] and to see the good/fertile land on the west side, the beautiful hilly area and [the mountains in] Lebanon.’
26 Ma nʼihi unu, Onyenwe anyị wesoro m iwe jụ ige m ntị! Onyenwe anyị gwara m okwu sị m, “O zuola! Agwakwala m ihe ọbụla banyere okwu a.
But Yahweh was angry with me because of [what] your ancestors [had made me do], so he would not pay attention to me. Instead, he said, ‘That is enough [talk from you]! Do not talk to me about that again!
27 Gaa, rigoruo nʼelu ugwu Pisga, site nʼebe ahụ lepụ anya nʼakụkụ ugwu na ndịda ma nʼakụkụ ọwụwa anyanwụ na ọdịda anyanwụ. Ọ bụ anya gị ka ị ga-eji hụ ala ahụ, nʼihi na ị gaghị agafe osimiri Jọdan.
Climb up to the top of Pisgah [Mountain] and look toward the west and to the east, toward the north and to the south. Look at [MTY] it all carefully, because you will not cross the Jordan [River to see the land from there].
28 Nye Joshua ike ka ọ nọchie ọnọdụ gị. Gbaakwa ya ume, nʼihi na ọ bụ ya ga-edu ndị a gafee Jọdan iketa ala ahụ niile ị ga-ahụ.”
But tell Joshua what he must do and encourage him to be strong, because he is the one who will lead the people [across the river in order that they can] occupy/capture the land that you will see [from the top of the mountain].’
29 Ya mere, anyị nọdụrụ na ndagwurugwu ahụ dị nso na Bet-Peoa.
So we remained in the [Jordan River] Valley close to Beth-Peor [town].”
