< Deotoronomia 2 >
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.
Then we turned and took our journey into the wilderness by the way to the Sea of Reeds, as Yahweh had spoken to me; we went around Mount Seir for many days.
2 Dia niteny tamiko Jehovah ka nanao hoe:
Yahweh spoke to me, saying,
3 Aoka izay ny nandehananareo nanodidina ity tendrombohitra ity, fa miverena hianavaratra ianareo.
'You have gone around this mountain long enough; turn northward.
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,
Command the people, saying, “You are to pass through the border of your brothers, the descendants of Esau, who live in Seir; they will be afraid of you. Therefore be careful
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.
not to fight with them, for I will not give you any of their land, no, not even enough for the sole of a foot to step on; for I have given Mount Seir to Esau as a possession.
6 Vola no hamidinareo hanina aminy hohaninareo; ary vola koa no hamidinareo rano aminy hosotroinareo.
You will purchase food from them for money, so that you may eat; you will also buy water from them for money, so that you may 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 Yahweh your God has blessed you in all the work of your hand; he has known your walking through this great wilderness. For these forty years Yahweh your God has been with you, and you have lacked nothing.”'
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.
So we passed by our brothers, the descendants of Esau who live in Seir, away from the Arabah road, from Elath and from Ezion Geber. Then we turned and passed by the way of the wilderness 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.
Yahweh said to me, 'Do not trouble Moab, and do not fight with them in battle. For I will not give you his land for your own possession, because I have given Ar to the descendants of Lot, for their possession.'
10 (Ny Emima nonina tany fahiny, dia firenena lehibe sy maro isa ary olona lava tahaka ny Anakita.
(The Emites lived there previously, a people as great, as many, and as tall as the Anakim;
11 Ireo koa no natao ho Refaïta tany aloha tahaka ny Anakita; fa ny Moabita kosa nanao azy hoe Emima.
these also are considered to be the Rephaim, like the Anakim; but the Moabites call them the Emim.
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.)
The Horites also lived in Seir previously, but the descendants of Esau succeeded them. They destroyed them from before them and lived in their place, like Israel did to the land of his possession that Yahweh gave to them.)
13 Ary miaingà ianareo ankehitriny, ka mandehana mita ny lohasahan-driaka Zareda. Dia nita ny lohasahan-driaka Zareda isika.
“'Now rise up and go over the brook Zered.' So we went over the brook Zered.
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.
Now the days from when we came from Kadesh Barnea until we crossed the brook Zered, were thirty-eight years. It was by that time that all that generation of the men fit for fighting were gone from the people, as Yahweh had sworn 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.
Moreover, the hand of Yahweh was against that generation in order to destroy them from the people until they were gone.
16 Ary rehefa lany ritra ny mpanafika ka maty avokoa,
So it happened, when all the men fit for fighting were dead and gone from among the people,
17 dia niteny tamiko Jehovah ka nanao hoe:
that Yahweh spoke to me, saying,
18 Ankehitriny efa hamaky ny tany Moaba ianao ka hahazo any Ara,
'You are today to pass over Ar, the border of Moab.
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.
When you come near opposite the people of Ammon, do not trouble them or fight them; for I will not give you any of the land of the people of Ammon as a possession; because I have given it to the descendants of Lot as a possession.'”
20 (Izany koa no natao ho tanin’ ny Refaïta; fa ny Refaïta no nitoetra tao tany aloha ka nataon’ ny Amonita hoe Zamzomita.
(That also is considered to be a land of the Rephaim. The Rephaim lived there previously—but the Ammonites call them Zamzummim—
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 people as great, as many, and as tall as the Anakim. But Yahweh destroyed them before the Ammonites, and they succeeded them and lived in their place.
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;
This Yahweh also did for the people of Esau, who live in Seir, when he destroyed the Horites from before them, and the descendants of Esau succeeded them and have lived in their place even until today.
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).
As for the Avvites who lived in villages as far as Gaza, the Caphtorim, who came from Caphtor, destroyed them and settled in their place.)
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 rise up, go on your journey, and pass over the Valley of the Arnon; look, I have given into your hand Sihon the Amorite, king of Heshbon, and his land. Begin to possess it, and fight with him in battle.
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.
Today I will begin to put the fear and terror of you on the peoples that are under the whole sky; they will hear news about you and will tremble and be in anguish because of you.'
26 Dia naniraka olona avy tany an-efitr’ i Kedemota aho hankany amin’ i Sihona, mpanjakan’ i Hesbona, nitondra teny fihavanana hoe:
I sent messengers from the wilderness of Kedemoth to Sihon, king of Heshbon, with words of peace, 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;
'Let me pass through your land; I will go along the highway; I will turn neither to the right hand nor to the left.
28 vola no hamidiko hanina aminao hohaniko, ary vola no hamidiko rano aminao hosotroiko; ary handalo fotsiny ihany aho
You will sell me food for money, so that I may eat; give me water for money, so that I may drink; only let me pass 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 descendants of Esau who live in Seir, and as the Moabites who live in Ar, did for me; until I pass over the Jordan into the land that Yahweh our God is giving 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.
But Sihon, king of Heshbon, would not let us pass by him; for Yahweh your God had hardened his mind and made his heart obstinate, that he might defeat him by your might, which he has now done today.
31 Dia niteny tamiko hoe Jehovah: Indro, vao manomboka hanolotra an’ i Sihona sy ny taniny eo anoloanao Aho; santaro ny handovanao ny taniny.
Yahweh said to me, 'Look, I have begun to deliver up Sihon and his land before you; begin to possess it, in order that you may inherit his land.'
32 Dia nivoaka Sihona mbamin’ ny vahoakany rehetra hiady amintsika tao Jahaza.
Then Sihon came out against us, he and all his people, to fight at Jahaz.
33 Dia nanolotra azy teo anoloantsika Jehovah Andriamanitsika, ka nandresy azy sy ny zanany ary ny vahoakany rehetra isika.
Yahweh our God gave him over to us and we defeated 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.
We took all his cities at that time and completely destroyed every city—men and the women and the little ones; we left no survivor.
35 Ny biby fiompy sy ny fananany tao amin’ ny tanàna izay afatsika ihany no nataontsika ho babo.
Only the cattle we took as spoils for ourselves, along with the spoil of the cities that we had taken.
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 on the edge of the Valley of the Arnon, and from the city that is in the valley, all the way to Gilead, there was not a city too high for us. Yahweh our God gave 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.
It was only to the land of the descendants of Ammon that you did not go, as well as all the side of the Jabbok River, and the cities of the hill country—wherever Yahweh our God had forbidden us to go.
