Deuteronomy 2

1 kut forla ac folokla nu yen mwesis, ke inkanek nu inalok ke Meoa Srusra, oana LEUM GOD El sapkin, ac kut sisla pacl loeloes in foroht forma infulan eol lun Edom.

Then we turned, and took our journey into the wilderness by the way of the Red sea, as the LORD spoke unto me: and we compassed mount Seir many days.

2 Na LEUM GOD El fahk nu sik mu

And the LORD spoke unto me, saying,

3 fal tari pacl kut forfor infulan eol ingo, ac kut enenu in som nu epang.

All of you have compassed this mountain long enough: turn you northward.

4 El fahk nu sik ngan sot nu suwos kas inge: ‘Kowos akuranna fahsr sasla infulan eol Edom, facl sin fwilin tulik natul Esau, su mwet liwos. Elos ac fah sangeng suwos,

And command you the people, saying, All of you are to pass through the coast of your brethren the children of Esau, which dwell in Seir; and they shall be afraid of you: take all of you good heed unto yourselves therefore:

5 tusruktu nik kowos aklokoalokyalos, mweyen nga fah tia sot kutu srisrik acn lalos nu suwos, finne square foot se. Nga sang tari acn Edom tuh in ma lun mwet ke fwilin tulik natul Esau.

Meddle not with them; for I will not give you of their land, no, not so much as a foot breadth; because I have given mount Seir unto Esau for a possession.

6 Kowos ku in moul mongo nowos ac kof nimowos selos.’

All of you shall buy food of them for money, that all of you may eat; and all of you shall also buy water of them for money, that all of you may drink.

7 “Esam lah LEUM GOD lowos El akinsewowoye kowos in ma nukewa kowos oru. El karingin kowos in forfor lowos yen mwesis lulap se inge. El wi kowos ke yac angngaul inge, ac sot ma nukewa kowos enenu.

For the LORD your God has blessed you in all the works of your hand: he knows your walking through this great wilderness: these forty years the LORD your God has been with you; you have lacked nothing.

8 “Na kut mukuiyak ac som liki inkanek ma som liki siti Elath ac Eziongeber nu ke Meoa Misa, na kut kuhfla nu kuta epang in som nu Moab.

And when we passed by from our brethren the children of Esau, which dwelt in Seir, through the way of the plain from Elath, and from Eziongaber, we turned and passed by the way of the wilderness of Moab.

9 LEUM GOD El fahk nu sik, ‘Nimet aklokoalokye mwet Moab, su fwilin tulik natul Lot, ac nimet mweun nu selos. Nga sang tari siti Ar nu selos, ac nga ac tia sot nu suwos kutena acn selos.’” (

And the LORD said unto me, Distress not the Moabites, neither contend with them in battle: for I will not give you of their land for a possession; because I have given Ar unto the children of Lot for a possession.

10 Sie un mwet na yohk pisa pangpang mwet Emim muta in acn Ar meet. Elos mwet na loeska oana mwet Anak, sie pacna un mwet yohk pisa.

The Emims dwelt therein in times past, a people great, and many, and tall, as the Anakims;

11 Kutu mwet uh pangon mwet Emim ac mwet Anak ke e se inge: Rephaim. Tusruktu mwet Moab uh pangnolos Emim.

Which also were accounted giants, as the Anakims; but the Moabites called them Emims.

12 Mwet Hor elos tuh muta Edom in pacl meet, tusruktu fwilin tulik natul Esau luselosla, kunausla mutunfacl selos, ac oakwuki we, oapana ma mwet Israel elos tuh oru tok ke elos lusla mwet lokoalok lalos liki acn ma LEUM GOD El tuh sang selos.)

The Horims also dwelt in Seir in time past; but the children of Esau succeeded them, when they had destroyed them from before them, and dwelt in their position; as Israel did unto the land of his possession, which the LORD gave unto them.

13 “Na kut alukeot Infacl Zered, oana LEUM GOD El sapkin nu sesr.

Now rise up, said I, and get you over the brook Zered. And we went over the brook Zered.

14 Ma inge sikyak yac tolngoul oalkosr tukun kut tuku liki acn Kadesh Barnea. Mwet mweun nukewa in fwil sac misa nufon, oana ma LEUM GOD El tuh fahk.

And the space in which we came from Kadeshbarnea, until we were come over the brook Zered, was thirty and eight years; until all the generation of the men of war were wasted out from among the host, as the LORD swore unto them.

15 LEUM GOD El nuna lainulos na nwe ke El kunauselosla nukewa.

For indeed the hand of the LORD was against them, to destroy them from among the host, until they were consumed.

16 “Tukun elos nukewa misa,

So it came to pass, when all the men of war were consumed and dead from among the people,

17 LEUM GOD El fahk nu sesr,

That the LORD spoke unto me, saying,

18 ‘Misenge kowos ac fahsr sasla acn lun mwet Moab ke inkanek nu Ar.

You are to pass over through Ar, the coast of Moab, this day:

19 Na kowos ac fah apkuran nu ke facl sin mwet Ammon, su fwilin tulik natul Lot. Nikmet aklokoalokyalos ku mweun nu selos, mweyen nga ac tia sot kutena acn lowos ke acn ma nga sang tari nu selos.’” (

And when you come nigh opposite to the children of Ammon, distress them not, nor meddle with them: for I will not give you of the land of the children of Ammon any possession; because I have given it unto the children of Lot for a possession.

20 Facl se inge oayapa eteyuk mu facl sin mwet Rephaim, inen mwet ma tuh muta we meet, a mwet Ammon uh pangnolos Zamzummim.

(That also was accounted a land of giants: giants dwelt therein in old time; and the Ammonites call them Zamzummims;

21 Elos arulana loes, oana mwet Anak. Oayapa elos arulana pus, ac sie un mwet na fokoko. Tusruktu LEUM GOD El kunauselosla, tuh mwet Ammon in eisla acn selos ac oakwuki fac.

A people great, and many, and tall, as the Anakims; but the LORD destroyed them before them; and they succeeded them, and dwelt in their position:

22 LEUM GOD El tuh oru ouiya se pacna inge nu sin mwet Edom, fwilin tulik natul Esau, su muta infulan eol lun Edom. El kunausla mwet Hor, ac oru tuh mwet Edom in eisla acn selos ac oakwuki we, ac elos srakna muta we nwe inge.

As he did to the children of Esau, which dwelt in Seir, when he destroyed the Horims from before them; and they succeeded them, and dwelt in their position even unto this day:

23 Acn ma oan weacn Meoa Mediterranean oakwuki tari sin mwet tuku liki tuka Crete. Elos onela mwet Avvim, su mwet na pwaye we, ac eisla acn nukewa lalos, som na nwe siti Gaza in acn eir.)

And the Avims which dwelt in Hazerim, even unto Azzah, the Caphtorims, which came forth out of Caphtor, destroyed them, and dwelt in their position.)

24 “Tukun kut fahla sasla Moab, LEUM GOD El fahk nu sesr, ‘Inge, fahsrot alukela Infacl Arnon. Nga ac eisalot Sihon, tokosra lun mwet Amor ke siti Heshbon, nu inpouwos wi pac facl sel. Kowos in mweunel, ac mutawauk in muta fin acn sel.

Rise all of you up, take your journey, and pass over the river Arnon: behold, 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 Misenge lac, nga ac oru mutanfahl nukewa in sangeng suwos. Mwet nukewa fah rarrar ac sangeng ke elos ac lohng keiwos.’

This day will I begin to put the dread of you and the fear of you upon the nations that are under the whole heaven, who shall hear report of you, and shall tremble, and be in anguish because of you.

26 “Na nga supwala kutu mwet utuk kas yen mwesis Kedemoth lac nu yorol Tokosra Sihon lun Heshbon, ke kas in akmisye inmasrlosr inge:

And I sent messengers out of the wilderness of Kedemoth unto Sihon king of Heshbon with words of peace, saying,

27 ‘Lela nu sesr in fahsr sasla acn sum uh. Kut ac fahsrna ke inkanek lulap uh, ac tiana kuhfla liki.

Let me pass through your land: I will go along by the high way, I will neither turn unto the right hand nor to the left.

28 Kut ac moli mwe mongo nasr ac kof nimasr. Ma sefanna kut enenu uh pa kut in fahla fin acn sum an,

You shall sell me food for money, that I may eat; and give me water for money, that I may drink: only I will pass through on my feet;

29 nwe ke kut alukela Infacl Jordan nu in facl se LEUM GOD El ase in lasr. Tulik natul Esau su muta Edom, ac mwet Moab su muta Ar, elos lela kut in alukela facl selos.’

(As the children of Esau which dwell in Seir, and the Moabites which dwell in Ar, did unto me; ) until I shall pass over Jordan into the land which the LORD our God gives us.

30 Tusruktu Tokosra Sihon el tia lela kut in fahsr sasla fin facl sel. LEUM GOD lowos El akupaye insial in lain kowos, kut in mau ku in kutangulla ac eisla facl sel, su kut srakna muta fac nwe misenge.

But Sihon king of Heshbon would not let us pass by him: for the LORD your God hardened his spirit, and made his heart obstinate, that he might deliver him into your hand, as appears this day.

31 “Na LEUM GOD El fahk nu sik, ‘Liye, nga oru tuh Tokosra Sihon ac acn sel uh in munas suwos. Sruokya acn sel an ac muta fac.’

And the LORD said unto me, Behold, I have begun to give Sihon and his land before you: begin to possess, that you may inherit his land.

32 Tokosra Sihon el tufokme wi mwet lal nukewa in mweuni kut apkuran nu ke siti Jahaz,

Then Sihon came out against us, he and all his people, to fight at Jahaz.

33 tusruktu LEUM GOD lasr El eisalosme nu inpaosr, ac kut unilya, wi wen natul ac mwet lal nukewa.

And the LORD our God delivered him before us; and we stroke him, and his sons, and all his people.

34 In pacl sac pacna, kut sruokya ac kunausla siti nukewa, ac uniya mwet nukewa: mukul, mutan, ac tulik. Wangin mwet moul.

And we took all his cities at that time, and utterly destroyed the men, and the women, and the little ones, of every city, we left none to remain:

35 Kut usla kosro nukewa ac ma saok nukewa in siti lalos.

Only the cattle we took for a prey unto ourselves, and the spoil of the cities which we took.

36 LEUM GOD lasr El kasrekut in sruokya siti nukewa, mutawauk Aroer sisken Infahlfal Arnon, wi siti se ma oan infulwen infahlfal uh, som na nwe Gilead. Wangin siti ma kalkalyak ku, upa nu sesr in eisla.

From Aroer, which is by the brink of the river of Arnon, and from the city that is by the river, even unto Gilead, there was not one city too strong for us: the LORD our God delivered all unto us:

37 Tusruktu kut tia som apkuran nu ke acn lun mwet Ammon, ku nu ke pe Infacl Jabbok, ku nu ke siti infulan eol uh, ku nu ke kutena acn ma LEUM GOD El sap kut in tia som nu we.

Only unto the land of the children of Ammon you came not, nor unto any place of the river Jabbok, nor unto the cities in the mountains, nor unto whatsoever the LORD our God forbad us.
