1 Dia niverina isika ka nandeha tany an-efitra tamin’ ny lalana mankany amin’ ny Ranomasina Mena, araka izay nolazain’ i Jehovah tamiko; ary nanodidina ny tendrombohitra Seïra ela ihany isika.
And we turned and departed into the wilderness, by the way of the Red Sea, as the Lord spoke to me, and we compassed mount Seir many days.
2 Dia niteny tamiko Jehovah ka nanao hoe:
And the Lord said to me,
3 Aoka izay ny nandehananareo nanodidina ity tendrombohitra ity, fa miverena hianavaratra ianareo.
You have compassed this mount long enough; turn therefore toward the north.
4 Ary mandidia ny olona hoe: Hianareo efa handeha hamaky ny tanin’ ny taranak’ i Esao rahalahinareo, izay monina any Seïra; dia hatahotra anareo izy; nefa mitandrema tsara ianareo,
And charge the people, saying, You are going through the borders of your brethren the children of Esau, who dwell in Seir; and they shall fear you, and dread you greatly.
5 ka aza mila ady aminy; fa tsy hanomezako anao ny taniny, na dia eram-paladia akory aza, satria nomeko ho lovan’ i Esao ny tendrombohitra Seïra.
Do not engage in war against them, for I will not give you of their land even enough to set your foot upon, for I have given mount Seir to the children of Esau as an inheritance.
6 Vola no hamidinareo hanina aminy hohaninareo; ary vola koa no hamidinareo rano aminy hosotroinareo.
Buy food of them for money and eat, and you shall receive water of them by measure for money, and drink.
7 Fa Jehovah Andriamanitrao efa nitahy anao tamin’ izay rehetra nataon’ ny tananao; fantany ny nandehananao namaky ity efitra lehibe ity; izay efa-polo taona izay Jehovah Andriamanitrao no teo aminao, ka tsy nanan-java-mahory akory ianao.
For the Lord our God has blessed you in every work of your hands. Consider how you went through that great and terrible wilderness: behold, the Lord your God [has been] with you forty years; you did not lack any thing.
8 Ary raha nandalo ny taranak’ i Esao rahalahintsika izay monina any Seïra isika ary niala tamin’ ny lalana amin’ ny tani-hay sy tao Elata ary Ezion-gebera, dia nivily isika ka nandeha tamin’ ny lalana mankany amin’ ny efitr’ i Moaba.
And we passed by our brethren the children of Esau, who lived in Seir, by the way of Araba from Aelon and from Gesion Gaber; and we turned and passed by the way of the desert of Moab.
9 Dia hoy Jehovah tamiko: Aza mandrafy ny Moabita, na mila ady aminy, fa tsy hanomezako ho lovanao ny taniny, satria Ara dia nomeko ho lovan’ ny taranak’ i Lota.
And the Lord said to me, Do not you quarrel with the Moabites, and do not engage in war with them; for I will not give you of their land for an inheritance, for I have given Aroer to the children of Lot to inherit.
10 (Ny Emima nonina tany fahiny, dia firenena lehibe sy maro isa ary olona lava tahaka ny Anakita.
Formerly the Ommin lived in it, a great and numerous nation and powerful, like the Enakim.
11 Ireo koa no natao ho Refaïta tany aloha tahaka ny Anakita; fa ny Moabita kosa nanao azy hoe Emima.
These also shall be accounted Raphain like the Enakim; and the Moabites call them Ommin.
12 Ary ny tany Seïra dia nonenan’ ny Horita, fa ny taranak’ i Esao nandroaka azy ka nandringana azy tsy ho eo anoloany, dia nonina nisolo azy, araka ny nataon’ ny Isiraely tao amin’ ny tany izay nomen’ i Jehovah azy ho lovany.)
And the Chorrhite lived in Seir before, and the sons of Esau destroyed them, and utterly consumed them from before them; and they lived in their place, as Israel did to the land of his inheritance, which the Lord gave to them.
13 Ary miaingà ianareo ankehitriny, ka mandehana mita ny lohasahan-driaka Zareda. Dia nita ny lohasahan-driaka Zareda isika.
Now then, arise you, [said I], and depart, and cross the valley of Zaret.
14 Ary ny andro nandehanantsika hatrany Kadesi-barnea ka hatramin’ ny nitantsika ny lohasahan-driaka Zareda dia valo amby telo-polo taona, mandra-pahalany ritran’ ny mpanafika rehetra tamin’ izany taranaka rehetra izany ka tsy nisy intsony teo amin’ ny toby, araka izay efa nianianan’ i Jehovah taminy.
And the days in which we traveled from Cades Barne till we crossed the valley of Zaret, [were] thirty and eight years, until the whole generation of the men of war failed, dying out of the camp, as the Lord God sware to them.
15 Ary koa, ny tànan’ i Jehovah dia namely azy handringanana azy mandra-pahalany ritrany ka tsy nisy intsony teo amin’ ny toby.
And the hand of the Lord was upon them to destroy them out of the midst of the camp, until they were consumed.
16 Ary rehefa lany ritra ny mpanafika ka maty avokoa,
And it came to pass when all the men of war dying out of the midst of the people had fallen,
17 dia niteny tamiko Jehovah ka nanao hoe:
that the Lord spoke to me, saying,
18 Ankehitriny efa hamaky ny tany Moaba ianao ka hahazo any Ara,
You shall pass over this day the borders of Moab to Aroer;
19 dia ho tonga ao akaikin’ ny taranak’ i Amona, nefa aza mandrafy azy, na mila ady aminy; fa tsy hanomezako ho lovanao ny tanin’ ny taranak’ i Amona, satria nomeko ho lovan’ ny taranak’ i Lota izany.
and you shall draw near to the children of Amman: do not quarrel with them, nor wage war with them; for I will not give you of the land of the children of Amman for an inheritance, because I have given it to the children of Lot for an inheritance.
20 (Izany koa no natao ho tanin’ ny Refaïta; fa ny Refaïta no nitoetra tao tany aloha ka nataon’ ny Amonita hoe Zamzomita.
It shall be accounted a land of Raphain, for the Raphain lived there before, and the Ammanites call them Zochommin.
21 Firenena lehibe sy maro isa ary olona lava tahaka ny Anakita ireny, nefa naringan’ i Jehovah tsy ho eo anoloany izy, ka ny Amonita no nonina nisolo azy,
A great nation and populous, and mightier than you, as also the Enakim: yet the Lord destroyed them from before them, and they inherited [their land], and they lived [there] instead of them until this day.
22 araka izay nataony koa ho an’ ny taranak’ i Esao, izay mitoetra any Seïra, fa nandringana ny Horita tsy ho eo anoloany Izy, ka dia nandroaka azy ireo ka nonina nisolo azy mandraka androany;
As they did to the children of Esau that dwell in Seir, even as they destroyed the Chorrhite from before them, and inherited their country, and lived [therein] instead of them until this day.
23 ary ny amin’ ny Avita, izay nonina am-bohitra hatrany Gaza, dia naringan’ ny Kaftorita, izay avy tany Kaftora, izy; ary ireo no nonina nisolo azy).
And the Evites who dwell in Asedoth to Gaza, and the Cappadocians who came out of Cappadocia, destroyed them, and lived in their room.
24 Mitsangàna, miaingà, ka mità ny lohasahan-driaka Arnona ianareo; indro, efa natolotro eo an-tananao Sihona Amorita, mpanjakan’ i Hesbona, mbamin’ ny taniny. Santaro ny handovanao azy, ka tafiho.
Now then arise and depart, and pass over the valley of Arnon: behold, I have delivered into your hands Seon the king of Esebon the Amorite, and his land: begin to inherit [it]: engage in war with him this day.
25 Anio no vao hataoko mahazo ny firenena ambanin’ ny lanitra rehetra ny horohoro sy tahotra anareo, ka raha reny ny lazanao, dia hangovitra sy hangorohoro eo anoloanao izy.
Begin to put your terror and your fear on the face of all the nations under heaven, who shall be troubled when they have heard your name, and shall be in anguish before you.
26 Dia naniraka olona avy tany an-efitr’ i Kedemota aho hankany amin’ i Sihona, mpanjakan’ i Hesbona, nitondra teny fihavanana hoe:
And I sent ambassadors from the wilderness of Kedamoth to Seon king of Esebon with peaceful words, saying,
27 Aoka mba handeha hamaky ny taninao aho; ny lalambe ihany no halehako, ka tsy hivily aho, na ho amin’ ny ankavanana, na ho amin’ ny ankavia;
I will pass through your land: I will go by the road, I will not turn aside to the right hand or to the left.
28 vola no hamidiko hanina aminao hohaniko, ary vola no hamidiko rano aminao hosotroiko; ary handalo fotsiny ihany aho
You shall give me food for money, and I will eat; and you shall give me water for money, and I will drink; I will only go through on my feet:
29 (araka izay nataon’ ny taranak’ i Esao, izay monina any Moabita, izay monina any Ara, tamiko) mandra-pitako an’ i Jordana ho any amin’ ny tany izay omen’ i Jehovah Andriamanitray anay.
as the sons of Esau did to me, who lived in Seir, and the Moabites who lived in Aroer, until I shall have passed Jordan into the land which the Lord our God gives us.
30 Fa Sihona, mpanjakan’ i Hesbona, tsy nety namela antsika handeha hamaky ny taniny; fa Jehovah Andriamanitrao nanamafy ny fony sy nampahaditra ny fanahiny, mba hanolorany azy eo an-tananao tahaka ny amin’ izao anio izao.
And Seon king of Esebon would not that we should pass by him, because the Lord our God hardened his spirit, and made his heart stubborn, that he might be delivered into your hands, as on this day.
31 Dia niteny tamiko hoe Jehovah: Indro, vao manomboka hanolotra an’ i Sihona sy ny taniny eo anoloanao Aho; santaro ny handovanao ny taniny.
And the Lord said to me, Behold, I have begun to deliver before you Seon the king of Esebon the Amorite, and his land, and do you begin to inherit his land.
32 Dia nivoaka Sihona mbamin’ ny vahoakany rehetra hiady amintsika tao Jahaza.
And Seon the king of Esebon came forth to meet us, he and all his people to war at Jassa.
33 Dia nanolotra azy teo anoloantsika Jehovah Andriamanitsika, ka nandresy azy sy ny zanany ary ny vahoakany rehetra isika.
And the Lord our God delivered him before our face, and we struck him, and his sons, and all his people.
34 Ary nahafaka ny tanànany rehetra tamin’ izany andro izany isika ka nandringana ny mponina rehetra tamin’ ny isan-tanàna mbamin’ ny zaza amim-behivavy; tsy nasiantsika niangana izy na dia iray akory aza.
And we took possession of all his cities at that time, and we utterly destroyed every city in succession, and their wives, and their children; we left no living prey.
35 Ny biby fiompy sy ny fananany tao amin’ ny tanàna izay afatsika ihany no nataontsika ho babo.
Only we took the cattle captive, and took the spoil of the cities.
36 Hatrany Aroera, izay eo amoron’ ny lohasahan-driaka Arnona, dia hatramin’ ny tanàna izay ao an-dohasaha ka hatrany Gileada, dia tsy nisy tanàna tsy afatsika; fa izy rehetra dia natolotr’ i Jehovah Andriamanitsika teo anoloantsika.
From Aroer, which is by the brink of the brook of Arnon, and the city which is in the valley, and as far as the mount of Galaad; there was not a city which escaped us: the Lord our God delivered all of them into our hands.
37 Kanefa ny tanin’ ny taranak’ i Amona no tsy nakekenareo, dia ny tany amoron’ ny lohasahan-driaka Jaboka, sy ny tanàna ao amin’ ny tany havoana, ary izay rehetra nandraran’ i Jehovah Andriamanitsika antsika.
Only we did not draw near to the children of Amman, even all the parts bordering on the brook Jaboc, and the cities in the mountain country, as the Lord our God charged us.
