Deteronomi 2
1 Na sima, tobalukaki mpe tokendeki na esobe, na nzela ya ebale monene ya Barozo ndenge Yawe atindaki ngai, pamba te tobalukaki mikolo ebele zingazinga ya etuka ya ngomba Seiri.
Then we turned, and took our journey into the wilderness by the way of the Red sea, as the LORD spoke to me: and we compassed mount Seir many days.
2 Yawe alobaki na ngai:
And the LORD spoke to me, saying,
3 « Bowumeli mingi na kobaluka zingazinga ya etuka ya bangomba oyo; sik’oyo bokende na ngambo ya nor.
You have compassed this mountain long enough: turn you northward.
4 Pesa mitindo oyo epai ya bato: ‹ Bokomi pembeni ya koleka mokili ya bandeko na bino, bakitani ya Ezawu oyo bavandaka na Seiri. Bakobanga bino, kasi bozala mayele.
And command you the people, saying, You are to pass through the coast of your brothers the children of Esau, which dwell in Seir; and they shall be afraid of you: take you good heed to yourselves therefore:
5 Bobundisa bango te, pamba te nakopesa bino ata eloko moko te kati na mokili na bango, ezala ata esika ya kotia lokolo na bino. Nasila kopesa, epai na Ezawu, etuka ya ngomba Seiri lokola libula na ye.
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 to Esau for a possession.
6 Bokofuta bango palata mpo na biloko oyo bokolia mpe mpo na mayi oyo bokomela.
You shall buy meat of them for money, that you may eat; and you shall also buy water of them for money, that you may drink.
7 Yawe, Nzambe na bino, apamboli bino na misala nyonso ya maboko na bino. Abateli bino na esobe oyo ya monene mibu tuku minei. Yawe, Nzambe na bino, azali elongo na bino mpe bozangi eloko moko te. › »
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 sima, totikaki bandeko na biso, bakitani ya Ezawu oyo bavandaka na Seiri. Tobalukaki wuta na nzela ya Araba oyo ewuta na Eyilati mpe na Etsioni-Geberi, mpe tokendeki na nzela ya esobe ya Moabi.
And when we passed by from our brothers the children of Esau, which dwelled 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 Yawe alobaki na ngai: « Bomona bato ya Moabi lokola banguna na bino te mpe bobundisa bango te, pamba te nakopesa bino ata eloko moko te kati na mokili na bango. Nasila kopesa mokili ya Ari lokola bozwi epai ya bakitani ya Loti. »
And the LORD said to 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 to the children of Lot for a possession.
10 Bato ya Emimi nde bazalaki kovanda kuna na kala. Bazalaki makasi mpe ebele, bingambe lokola bana ya Anaki.
The Emims dwelled therein in times past, a people great, and many, and tall, as the Anakims;
11 Bango mpe bazalaki komonana lokola bato ya Refayimi ndenge moko na bana ya Anaki. Kasi bato ya Moabi bazalaki kobenga bango bato ya Emimi.
Which also were accounted giants, as the Anakims; but the Moabites called them Emims.
12 Bato ya Ori mpe bazalaki kovanda na Seiri kasi bakitani ya Ezawu babenganaki bango. Babomaki bato ya Ori liboso na bango mpe bakomaki kovanda na bisika na bango ndenge kaka Isalaele asalaki mpo na mokili oyo Yawe apesaki bango lokola bozwi.
The Horims also dwelled in Seir beforetime; but the children of Esau succeeded them, when they had destroyed them from before them, and dwelled in their stead; as Israel did to the land of his possession, which the LORD gave to them.
13 Yawe alobaki: « Sik’oyo, botelema mpe bokatisa lubwaku ya Zeredi. » Boye totikaki lubwaku.
Now rise up, said I, and get you over the brook Zered. And we went over the brook Zered.
14 Mibu tuku misato na mwambe elekaki wuta tango tolongwaki na Kadeshi-Barinea kino tokatisaki lubwaku ya Zeredi. Banda wana, molongo nyonso ya bato oyo babundaki bitumba bakufaki kati na molako ndenge Yawe alapaki ndayi mpo na bango.
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 to them.
15 Loboko ya Yawe ebalukelaki bango kino asilisaki koboma bango nyonso kati na molako.
For indeed the hand of the LORD was against them, to destroy them from among the host, until they were consumed.
16 Tango bato ya suka kati na bato oyo bazalaki kobunda bitumba basilaki kokufa,
So it came to pass, when all the men of war were consumed and dead from among the people,
17 Yawe alobaki na ngai:
That the LORD spoke to me, saying,
18 « Lelo oyo, okokatisa Moabi mpe Ari.
You are to pass over through Ar, the coast of Moab, this day:
19 Tango okokoma na mokili ya bato ya Amoni, komona bango lokola banguna te mpe kobundisa bango te, pamba te nakopesa yo ata eteni moko te ya mabele kati na mokili ya bakitani ya bato ya Amoni. Nasilaki kopesa yango lokola bozwi epai ya bakitani ya Loti. »
And when you come near over against 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 to the children of Lot for a possession.
20 Mboka yango mpe emonanaki lokola mboka oyo bato ya Refayimi bazalaki kovanda. Kasi bato ya Amoni bazalaki kobenga bato ya Refayimi: bato ya Zamizumi.
(That also was accounted a land of giants: giants dwelled therein in old time; and the Ammonites call them Zamzummims;
21 Bazalaki makasi mpe ebele, bingambe kaka lokola bana ya Anaki. Kasi Yawe abomaki bango liboso ya bato ya Amoni. Bato ya Amoni babenganaki bato ya Zamizumi mpe bakomaki kovanda na bisika na bango.
A people great, and many, and tall, as the Anakims; but the LORD destroyed them before them; and they succeeded them, and dwelled in their stead:
22 Yawe asalaki mpe ndenge wana mpo na bakitani ya Ezawu oyo bazalaki kovanda na Seiri tango abomaki bato ya Ori liboso na bango. Bakitani ya Ezawu babenganaki bato ya Ori mpe bakomaki kovanda na bisika na bango kino na mokolo ya lelo.
As he did to the children of Esau, which dwelled in Seir, when he destroyed the Horims from before them; and they succeeded them, and dwelled in their stead even to this day:
23 Ezalaki mpe ndenge moko mpo na bato na Avi oyo bazalaki kovanda na mboka yango kino na Gaza. Bato ya Kafitori, oyo bawuta na mokili ya Kafitori, babomaki bato ya Avi mpe bakomaki kovanda na bisika na bango.
And the Avims which dwelled in Hazerim, even to Azzah, the Caphtorims, which came forth out of Caphtor, destroyed them, and dwelled in their stead.)
24 Yawe alobaki: « Botelema, bokende mpe bokatisa lubwaku ya Arinoni. Nakabi na maboko na bino, Sikoni, moto ya Amori mpe mokonzi na Eshiboni, elongo na mokili na ye. Bobanda kobundisa yango mpe bokamata yango.
Rise 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 Lelo, nakosala ete mabota nyonso ya mokili ezala na somo mpe kobanga liboso na bino. Bakoyoka sango ya makambo oyo bokosala, bongo bakolenga mpe bakozanga kimia likolo na bino. »
This day will I begin to put the dread of you and the fear of you on 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 Wuta na esobe ya Kedemoti, natindaki bantoma epai ya Sikoni, mokonzi ya Eshiboni, na maloba ya kimia.
And I sent messengers out of the wilderness of Kedemoth to Sihon king of Heshbon with words of peace, saying,
27 Nalobaki: « Tobondeli yo, tika biso tolekela na mokili na yo. Tokoleka kaka na nzela ya monene, tokobaluka te ezala na ngambo ya loboko ya mwasi to ya mobali.
Let me pass through your land: I will go along by the high way, I will neither turn to the right hand nor to the left.
28 Okotekela biso biloko ya kolia mpe mayi ya komela na motuya ya palata. Kasi tika biso kaka toleka na makolo
You shall sell me meat 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 ndenge bakitani ya Ezawu, oyo bavandaka na mokili ya Seiri, mpe bato ya Moabi, oyo bavandaka na Ari, basalelaki biso kino tokatisaki Yordani mpe tokotaki kati na mokili oyo Yawe, Nzambe na biso, apesi biso. »
(As the children of Esau which dwell in Seir, and the Moabites which dwell in Ar, did to me; ) until I shall pass over Jordan into the land which the LORD our God gives us.
30 Kasi Sikoni, mokonzi ya Eshiboni, aboyaki kopesa biso nzela ya kolekela na mokili na ye, pamba te Yawe, Nzambe na bino, akomisaki moto na ye makasi mpe motema na ye libanga, mpo na kokaba ye na maboko na bino ndenge asali lelo.
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 Bongo Yawe alobaki na ngai: « Tala, nabandi kokaba na maboko na bino Sikoni mpe mokili na ye. Banda kobotola yango mpe kamata yango. »
And the LORD said to me, Behold, I have begun to give Sihon and his land before you: begin to possess, that you may inherit his land.
32 Tango Sikoni elongo na mampinga na ye nyonso babimaki mpo na kobundisa biso na Yakatsi,
Then Sihon came out against us, he and all his people, to fight at Jahaz.
33 Yawe, Nzambe na biso, akabaki ye na maboko na biso mpe tobomaki ye, bana na ye ya mibali mpe mampinga na ye nyonso.
And the LORD our God delivered him before us; and we smote him, and his sons, and all his people.
34 Bongo, tobotolaki bingumba na ye nyonso, tobukaki bingumba nyonso, tobomaki mibali, basi mpe bana nyonso; totikaki ata moto moko te.
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 Kasi tomemaki mpo na biso: bibwele mpe bomengo ya bitumba oyo tokutaki na bingumba na bango.
Only the cattle we took for a prey to ourselves, and the spoil of the cities which we took.
36 Longwa na Aroeri oyo ezali na suka ya lubwaku ya Arinoni, mpe longwa na engumba oyo ezali kati na lubwaku kino na Galadi, ezalaki na engumba moko te oyo elekaki biso na makasi. Yawe, Nzambe na biso, apesaki biso yango nyonso.
From Aroer, which is by the brink of the river of Arnon, and from the city that is by the river, even to Gilead, there was not one city too strong for us: the LORD our God delivered all to us:
37 Kasi bopusanaki te na mokili ya bato ya Amoni, na ngambo nyonso ya lubwaku ya Yaboki, na bingumba ya bangomba, mpe na bisika nyonso oyo Yawe, Nzambe na biso, apekisaki biso.
Only to the land of the children of Ammon you came not, nor to any place of the river Jabbok, nor to the cities in the mountains, nor to whatever the LORD our God forbade us.
