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.
“And we turn and journey into the wilderness, the way of the Red Sea, as YHWH has spoken to me, and we go around Mount Seir [for] many days.
2 Na LEUM GOD El fahk nu sik mu
And YHWH speaks to me, saying,
3 fal tari pacl kut forfor infulan eol ingo, ac kut enenu in som nu epang.
For you go around this mountain long enough; turn for yourselves 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 the people command you, saying, You are passing over into the border of your brothers, sons of Esau, who are dwelling in Seir, and they are afraid of you; and you have been very watchful;
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.
you do not strive with them, for I do not give [any] of their land to you—even the treading of the sole of a foot; I have given Mount Seir to Esau for a possession.
6 Kowos ku in moul mongo nowos ac kof nimowos selos.’
You buy food from them with money, and have eaten; and you also buy water from them with money, and have drunk.
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 your God YHWH has blessed you in all the work of your hands; He has known your walking in this great wilderness these forty years; your God YHWH [is] with you; you have not lacked anything.
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 we pass by from our brothers, sons of Esau, who are dwelling in Seir, by the way of the plain, by Elath and by Ezion-Gaber, and we turn and pass over 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 YHWH says to me, Do not distress Moab, nor stir yourself up against them [in] battle, for I do not give [any] of their land to you [for] a possession; for I have given Ar to the sons 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 Emim have formerly dwelt in it, a people great, and numerous, and tall as the Anakim;
11 Kutu mwet uh pangon mwet Emim ac mwet Anak ke e se inge: Rephaim. Tusruktu mwet Moab uh pangnolos Emim.
they are reckoned [as] Rephaim, they also, as the Anakim; and the Moabites call them Emim.
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.)
And the Horim have formerly dwelt in Seir, but the sons of Esau dispossess them, and destroy them from before them, and dwell in their stead, as Israel has done to the land of his possession which YHWH has given to them.
13 “Na kut alukeot Infacl Zered, oana LEUM GOD El sapkin nu sesr.
Now rise and pass over the Brook of Zered for yourselves; and we pass over the Brook of 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 days which we have walked from Kadesh-Barnea until we have passed over the Brook of Zered [are] thirty-eight years, until the consumption of all the generation of the men of battle from the midst of the camp, as YHWH has sworn to them;
15 LEUM GOD El nuna lainulos na nwe ke El kunauselosla nukewa.
and indeed the hand of YHWH has been against them, to destroy them from the midst of the camp until they are consumed.
16 “Tukun elos nukewa misa,
And it comes to pass, when all the men of battle have finished dying from the midst of the people,
17 LEUM GOD El fahk nu sesr,
that YHWH speaks to me, saying,
18 ‘Misenge kowos ac fahsr sasla acn lun mwet Moab ke inkanek nu Ar.
Today you are passing over the border of Moab, even Ar,
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 have come near the sons of Ammon, you do not distress them, nor stir yourself up against them, for I do not give [any] of the land of the sons of Ammon to you [for] a possession; for I have given it to the sons 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.
It is reckoned [as] a land of Rephaim, even it; Rephaim formerly dwelt in it, and the Ammonites call them Zamzummim,
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 numerous, and tall as the Anakim, and YHWH destroys them before them, and they dispossess them, and dwell in their stead,
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 has done for the sons of Esau who are dwelling in Seir, when He destroyed the Horim from before them, and they dispossess them, and dwell in their stead to 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.)
As for the Avim who are dwelling in villages as far as Gaza, the Caphtorim—who are coming out from Caphtor—have destroyed them, and dwell in their stead.
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, journey, and pass over the Brook of Arnon; see, I have given into your hand Sihon king of Heshbon, the Amorite, and his land; begin to possess [it], and stir yourself up against 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 [is] the day I begin to put your dread and your fear on the face of the peoples under the whole heavens, who hear your fame, and have trembled and been pained 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 send messengers from the wilderness of Kedemoth to 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 over through your land; in the way—in the way I go, I do not turn aside [to the] right or 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 sell me food for money, and I have eaten; and you give to me water for money, and I have drunk; only, let me pass over 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 sons of Esau who are dwelling in Seir and the Moabites who are dwelling in Ar have done for me, until I pass over the Jordan to the land which our God YHWH is giving to 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.
And Sihon king of Heshbon has not been willing to let us pass over by him, for your God YHWH has hardened his spirit and strengthened his heart, so as to give him into your hand as at 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 YHWH says to me, See, I have begun to give Sihon and his land before your faces; begin to possess—to possess his land.
32 Tokosra Sihon el tufokme wi mwet lal nukewa in mweuni kut apkuran nu ke siti Jahaz,
And Sihon comes out to meet us, he and all his people, to the battle at Jahaz;
33 tusruktu LEUM GOD lasr El eisalosme nu inpaosr, ac kut unilya, wi wen natul ac mwet lal nukewa.
and our God YHWH gives him before our faces, and we strike 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 capture all his cities at that time, and devote the whole city—men, and the women, and the infants; we have not left a remnant;
35 Kut usla kosro nukewa ac ma saok nukewa in siti lalos.
only, we have spoiled the livestock for ourselves, and the spoil of the cities which we have captured.
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 edge of the Brook of Arnon, and the city which [is] by the brook, even to Gilead, there has not been a city which [is] too high for us; our God YHWH has given the whole before our faces.
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, you have not drawn near to the land of the sons of Ammon—any part of the Brook of Jabbok, and cities of the hill-country, and anything which our God YHWH has [not] commanded.”
