Deuteronomy 3

1 “Toko, kut mukuiyak ac som nu epang ke inkanek nu Bashan, ac Tokosra Og el tufokme wi mwet lal nukewa in mweuni kut apkuran nu ke siti Edrei.

We set off and went up the road towards Bashan. Og, king of Bashan, and his whole army came out to fight us at Edrei.

2 Tusruktu LEUM GOD El fahk nu sik, ‘Nimet sangeng sel. Nga ac eisalot, mwet lal, ac acn lal nukewa nu inpoum. Oru nu sel oana ke kom oru nu sel Tokosra Sihon lun mwet Amor su leum in Heshbon.’

But the Lord told me, “Don't be afraid of him, for I have handed him over to you, together with all his people and his land. Deal with him as you did with Sihon, king of the Amorites, who ruled in Heshbon.”

3 “Ouinge LEUM GOD El eisalma Tokosra Og nu inpaosr pac, ac kut onelosla nukewa.

So the Lord our God handed over to us Og, king of Bashan, and his whole army as well. We killed them and left no survivors.

4 Kut sruokya siti lal nukewa in pacl sac — wangin sie acn lal kut tia eisla. Oasr siti onngoul kut sruokya — acn Argob nufon, su Tokosra Og lun Bashan el leumi.

We also captured all his towns. There wasn't a single town among all the sixty that we didn't capture. This included the whole region of Argob, the kingdom of Og in Bashan.

5 Siti inge nukewa orekla ku ke pot fulat, ac ipinsak na lulap pa sang laki srungul ke mutunpot uh, ac oasr pac siti srisrik ma wangin pot kac.

All of these towns were fortified with high walls and gates with bars. There were many more villages as well, those that didn't have walls.

6 Kut kunausla siti nukewa ac onela mukul, mutan, ac tulik nukewa, oana ke kut tuh oru nu ke siti lal Tokosra Sihon lun Heshbon.

We set them apart for destruction, just as we did to Sihon, king of Heshbon, killing all the men, women, and children of every city.

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

But we took for ourselves all the livestock and plunder from the towns.

8 “In pacl sac, kut eisla sin tokosra luo lun mwet Amor inge, acn nukewa kutulap in Infacl Jordan, mutawauk Infacl Arnon lac nwe ke Eol Hermon. (

So in summary, at that time we took from the two Amorite kings the land east of the Jordan, from the Arnon Valley all the way to Mount Hermon.

9 Mwet Sidon elos pangon Eol Hermon “Eol Sirion” ac mwet Amor elos pangon “Eol Senir.”)

(Mount Hermon is called Sirion by the Sidonians and Senir by the Amorites.)

10 Kut eisla acn nukewa sel Tokosra Og lun Bashan: siti nukewa yen tupasrpasr uh, wi acn nukewa lun Gilead ac Bashan, som na nwe ke siti Salecah ac Edrei, su oan kutulap.” (

The area included all the towns of the plain, all of Gilead, and all of Bashan, up to and including the towns of Salecah and Edrei in the kingdom of Og.

11 Tokosra Og pa safla ke mwet ma pangpang Rephaim. Box in misa lal orekla ke eot, fit onkosr sralap ac apkuran in fit singoul akosr lusa, fal nu ke srikasrak oakwuki in pacl sac. Box sac srakna ku in liyeyuk in siti Rabbah lun mwet Ammon.)

(Only Og, king of Bashan, was left of the race of the Rephaim. He had a bed made of iron that was nine cubits long and four cubits wide. It's still in the Ammonite town of Rabbah.)

12 “Ke kut eisla acn inge, nga sang nu sin sruf lal Reuben ac sruf lal Gad acn nukewa epang in siti Aroer apkuran nu Infacl Arnon, ac kutu ipin acn ke fulan eol lun Gilead, wi siti we.

This is when we took over the land. I assigned to the tribes of Reuben and Gad the land to the north of the town of Aroer in the Arnon Valley, and half the hill country of Gilead, together with its towns.

13 Nga sang nu sin tafu sruf lal Manasseh acn lula Gilead ac oayapa acn Bashan nufon, acn ma Tokosra Og el tuh leumi, aok, nufonna acn Argob.” (Eteyuk acn Bashan mu acn sin mwet Rephaim.

I assigned to the half-tribe of Manasseh the rest of Gilead, and all of Bashan, the kingdom of Og. (The whole region of Argob, all the territory of Bashan, was formerly called the land of the Rephaim.)

14 Jair, sie mwet in sruf lal Manasseh, el eis acn Argob, nufon — acn inge pa Bashan, som na nwe ke masrol lun Geshur ac Maacah. El sang inel sifacna nu ke acn inge, na srakna pangpang acn we “Siti Srisrik lal Jair.”)

Jair, a descendant of Manasseh, took over the whole region of Argob right up to the border of the Geshurites and Maacathites and changed the name of Bashan to Havvoth-jair after himself, which is still its name to this day.

15 “Nga sang Gilead nu sin sou lal Machir in sruf lal Manasseh.

I assigned the rest of Gilead to the descendants of Machir,

16 Ac nu sin sruf lal Reuben ac sruf lal Gad nga sang acn nukewa inmasrlon Gilead lac nu Infacl Arnon. Infulwen infacl soko ah pa masrol lalos nu layen eir, ac masrol layen nu epang pa Infacl Jabbok, su sie ip kac pa masrol lun mwet Ammon.

while I assigned to the tribes of Reuben and Gad the area from Gilead to the Arnon Valley, the boundary line being the middle of the valley, all the way to the Jabbok River on the Ammonite border.

17 Ke layen nu roto, acn selos fahla na nwe Infacl Jordan, layen epang mutawauk meoa Galilee ac putati nwe Meoa Misa nu eir, na fahla nu pe eol Pisgah layen kutulap.

The Jordan River in the Arabah bordered it to the west, from the Sea of Galilee to the Sea of the Arabah (the Dead Sea). On the east lay the slopes of the Pisgah mountain range.

18 “In pacl sac pacna, nga sapkin nu selos mu, ‘LEUM GOD lasr El sot facl kutulap in Infacl Jordan tuh in ma lowos. Inge sang kufwen mwe mweun nu sin mwet mweun lowos, ac supwalosla in fahsr sasla Infacl Jordan meet liki sruf lun Israel ngia, in kasrelos eis facl sac lalos.

This was when I gave you these instructions: “The Lord your God has given you this country as yours to own. All your warriors are to cross over, ready for battle, leading your fellow Israelites.

19 Mutan kiowos, tulik nutuwos, ac kosro nutuwos fah tia wi som, a elos in mutana ke siti ma nga sot nu suwos. Nga etu lah pukanten kosro nutuwos.

However, your wives, your children, and your livestock (I know that you have plenty of livestock) can stay behind in the towns I have given you,

20 Kasru mwet Israel wiowos nwe ke elos eis acn selos ma LEUM GOD El ac sang lalos ke layen roto in Infacl Jordan, nwe ke LEUM GOD El oakelosi in muta in misla, oana ke El oru tari nu suwos inge. Na toko, kowos fah ku in foloko nu yenu, nu ke acn ma nga sot lowos.’

until the Lord gives victory to your fellow Israelites and they have peace, just as he has for you, after taking over the land that the Lord your God is giving them on the other side of the Jordan. Then you can all return to the land I have given you to own.”

21 “Na nga fahkang nu sel Joshua: ‘Kom liye tari ma nukewa ma LEUM GOD lom El oru nu sel Tokosra Sihon ac Tokosra Og, ac El ac fah oru oapana nu sin tokosra nukewa ke acn ma kom ac mweuni uh.

This was the time I ordered Joshua: “You've seen with your own eyes seen everything the Lord your God did to these two kings. The Lord will do the same to all the kingdoms where you're going.

22 Nimet sangeng selos, tuh LEUM GOD lom El ac fah mweun keim.’

Don't be afraid of them, for the Lord your God himself will be fighting on your side.”

23 “In pacl sac, nga kwafeang in pre ac fahk,

This was also the time I pleaded with the Lord, saying,

24 ‘O LEUM GOD Fulatlana, nga etu lah kom tufahna mutawauk in akkalemye nu sik lupan ku lom ac fulat lom. Wangin sie god inkusrao ku fin faclu su ku in oru orekma kulana oana ma kom orala!

“Lord God, you've really only just begun to show your power and greatness to me, your servant. What god in heaven or on earth has the incredible ability to do the mighty acts you do?

25 LEUM GOD, lela nu sik in fahsr alukela Infacl Jordan, ac liye facl wo se layeno ingo, oayapa fulan eol kato we ac fineol lun acn Lebanon.’

Please, let me cross over the Jordan and see the good land there, the beautiful hills, and the mountains of Lebanon!”

26 “Tusruktu ke sripowos, LEUM GOD El mulat sik ac tia lungse porongeyu. A El fahk, ‘Tari! Nimet sifilpa fahk!

But the Lord was angry with me because of you, and he refused to listen to me. “That's enough,” he told me. “Don't talk to me about this anymore.

27 Fanyak nu fin mangon Eol Pisgah ac ngetla nu epang ac nu eir, nu kutulap ac nu roto. Liye akwoya, mweyen kom ac koflana alukela Infacl Jordan.

Climb up to the top of Mount and look west, north, south, and east. Take a long look at the land with your own eyes, because you're not going to cross this Jordan.

28 Sang kas in kasru nu sel Joshua ac akkeye nunak lal, mweyen el pa ac kol mwet uh in alukela Infacl Jordan ac oakwuki in acn ma kom ngetot liye ingo.’

Instead, put Joshua in charge because he's the one who will cross over, leading the people and helping them to take over the land that you see. Encourage him and support him.”

29 “Ouinge kut mutana infahlfal se tulanang siti Bethpeor.”

So we remained there in the valley near Beth-peor.
