Deotoronomia 3
1 Dia niverina isika ka niakatra tamin’ ny lalana mankany Basana; ary nivoaka hiady amintsika tao Edrehy Oga, mpanjakan’ i Basana, mbamin’ ny vahoakany rehetra.
“Then we turned [north] and went toward the Bashan region. Og, the king [of that area], and all his soldiers marched [south] to fight against us at Edrei [town].
2 Ary hoy Jehovah tamiko: Aza matahotra azy ianao; fa efa natolotro eo an-tananao izy mbamin’ ny vahoakany rehetra sy ny taniny, ary ianao hanao aminy araka izay nataonao tamin’ i Sihona, mpanjakan’ ny Amorita, izay nonina tao Hesbona.
Yahweh said to me, ‘Do not be afraid of him, because I will enable your [army] to defeat [MTY] him and all his army and to capture all their land. Do to him what you did to Sihon, the king of the Amor people-group, who ruled in Heshbon [city].’
3 Dia natolotr’ i Jehovah Andriamanitsika teo an-tanantsika koa Oga, mpanjakan’ i Basana, sy ny vahoakany rehetra; dia nandresy azy isika mandra-paha-tsi-hisy niangana na dia iray akory aza.
“So Yahweh enabled us to defeat [IDM] King Og and all his army. We killed them all; we did not allow any of them to remain alive.
4 Dia afatsika ny tanànany rehetra tamin’ izany andro izany, tsy nisy tanàna izay tsy nalaintsika taminy, dia tanàna enim-polo, dia ny tany Argoba rehetra, izay fanjakan’ i Oga tany Basana.
There were 60 cities in that region near Argob, in King Og’s kingdom of Bashan. But we captured all of them
5 Ireo tanàna rehetra ireo dia samy nasiana manda avo sy vavahady ary hidy hahamafy azy, afa-tsy ny vohitra madinika maro dia maro.
All those cities had high walls [around them] with gates and bars. We also captured many villages that did not have walls [around them].
6 Dia naringantsika ireny tahaka izay efa nataontsika tamin’ i Sihona, mpanjakan’ i Hesbona; naringana ny mponina rehetra tamin’ ny isan-tanàna mbamin’ ny zaza amim-behivavy.
We completely destroyed everything, just as we had done [in the area that] King Sihon ruled. We killed all the men, women, and children.
7 Fa ny biby fiompy rehetra sy ny fananana tamin’ ireo tanàna ireo dia nataontsika babo ho antsika.
But from those cities we took for ourselves all the livestock and other valuable things.
8 Ary nalaintsika tamin’ izany andro izany tamin’ ny mpanjaka roan’ ny Amorita ny tany izay any an-dafin’ i Jordana, hatramin’ ny lohasahan-driaka Arnona ka hatramin’ ny tendrombohitra Hermona
“So at that time we took from those two kings of the Amor people-group all the land east of the Jordan [River], from the Arnon [River] gorge [in the south] to Hermon Mountain [in the north].”
9 Hermona nataon’ ny Sidoniana hoe Siriona; ary ny Amorita kosa nanao azy hoe Senira,
(That mountain is called Sirion by the people of Sidon [city] and is called Senir by the Amor people-group.)
10 dia ny tanàna rehetra amin’ ny tany lemaka sy Gileada rehetra ary Basana rehetra hatrany Saleka sy Edrehy, dia ny tanàna amin’ ny fanjakan’ i Oga tany Basana.
“We captured all the towns on the (plateau/high level land), and all the Gilead [region], and all the Bashan [region] as far east as Edrei and Salecah towns, which also belonged to Og’s kingdom.”
11 Fa Oga, mpanjakan’ i Basana, ihany no sisa velona tamin’ ny Refalta; indro, farafara vy ny farafarany (tsy ao Raban’ ny taranak’ i Amona va Izany?), sivy hakiho ny halavany, ary efatra hakiho ny sakany, araka ny hakihon’ ny lehilahy.
(Og was the last king who was a descendant of the Repha giants. His bed was made of iron. It was almost (14 feet/4 meters) long and (6 feet/2 meters) wide. It is still [RHQ] in Rabbah [city] in the Ammon area.)
12 Ary io tany io dia azontsika tamin’ izany andro izany; hatrany Aroera, izay eo amoron’ ny lohasahan-driaka Arnona, sy ny antsasaky ny tany havoan’ i Gileada ary ny tanàna eo dia nomeko ny Robenita sy ny Gadita.
“From the land that we captured at that time, I allotted to the tribes of Reuben and Gad the land [north] of Aroer [town] near the Arnon [River], and some of the hilly area of the Gilead [region], along with the nearby towns.
13 ry Gileada sisa sy Basana rehetra, izay fanjakan’ i Oga, dia nomeko ny antsasaky ny firenen’ i Manase, dia ny tany Argoba rehetra, dia Basana rehetra (atao hoe tanin’ ny Refaïta izany.
The other part of the Gilead [region] and all of the Bashan [region], which was the Argob [region] that King Og had ruled, I allotted to half of the tribe of Manasseh.” (The entire Bashan [region] is called the land of the Repha giants.)
14 Jaïra, zanak’ i Manase, no nahafaka ny tany Argoba rehetra, hatramin’ ny fari-tanin’ ny Gesorita sy ny Makatita; ary ny anaran’ izany (dia Basana) nataony hoe Havota-jaïra, araka ny anaran-tenany ihany, mandraka androany).
“Jair, from the tribe of Manasseh, conquered all the Bashan area as far [north] as the border of the Geshur and Maacah territories. He gave his own name to the villages there, and they are still called the villages of Jair.
15 Ary Gileada dia nomeko an’ i Makira.
The [northern part of the] Gilead [region] I allotted to the Machir [clan, who are descendants of the tribe of Manasseh].
16 Ary ny Robenita sy ny Gadita dia nomeko ny hatrany Gileada ka hatramin’ ny lohasahan-driaka Arnona, dia ny antsasaky ny lohasaha, sy ny fari-tany hatramin’ ny amoron’ ny lohasahan-driaka Jaboka, izay fari-tanin’ ny taranak’ i Amona,
I allotted to the tribes of Reuben and Gad the southern part of the Gilead [region, extending south] to the Arnon [River]. The middle of the river is the [southern] boundary. The [northern] boundary is the Jabbok River, which is part of the border of the Ammon area.
17 ary ny tani-hay koa sy Jordana ary ny fari-tany hatrany Kireneta ka hatramin’ ny ranomasina amin’ ny tani-hay, dia ny Ranomasin-tsira, eo am-bodin’ i Pisga, dia ao atsinanany.
[To the west their territory extended] to the Jordan [River] Valley, from Galilee Lake [in the north] to the Dead Sea [in the south] and to the slopes of Pisgah [Mountain] to the east.
18 Ary nandidy anareo tamin’ izany andro izany aho ka nanao hoe: Jehovah Andriamanitrareo efa nanome anareo ity tany ity ho lovanareo; andeha mita eo alohan’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely rahalahinareo ianareo rehetra izay mahery, samy efa voaomana hiady.
At that time, I told you three tribes, ‘Yahweh our God is giving you this land [east of the Jordan River], for you to occupy/capture. So now, give your soldiers weapons, and send them [across the Jordan River] ahead of the men from the other Israeli tribes [to help them to conquer/capture the land that has been allotted to them].
19 Fa ny vadinareo sy ny zanakareo madinika ary ny ombinareo (fantatro fa be omby ianareo) dia hitoetra ao an-tanànanareo izay nomeko anareo,
But your wives and children and your very numerous cattle must stay in the towns that I have allotted to you.
20 mandra-panomen’ i Jehovah fitsaharana ny rahalahinareo tahaka ny anareo, ka holovany koa ny tany izay nomen’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrareo azy any an-dafin’ i Jordana; dia hiverina ianareo, samy ho any amin’ ny taniny avy, izay nomeko anareo.
[Your men must help your fellow Israelis] until Yahweh enables them to live there peacefully after they capture all the land that Yahweh our God is giving to them on the west side of the Jordan [River], just like he did for you [here on the east side of the river]. After that, you all may return to this land that I have allotted to you.’
21 Dia nandidy an’ i Josoa aho tamin’ izany andro izany ka nanao hoe: Ny masonao efa nahita izay rehetra nataon’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrareo tamin’ ireo mpanjaka roa lahy ireo; dia toy izany no hataon’ i Jehovah amin’ ny fanjakana rehetra izay halehanao.
And I told Joshua, ‘You [SYN] have seen everything that Yahweh our God did to those two kings, [Sihon and Og]. He will do the same thing to the people [who are now] in the land that you will be entering.
22 Aza matahotra azy ianareo; fa Jehovah Andriamanitrareo no hiady ho anareo.
Do not be afraid of those people, because Yahweh our God is the one who will fight for you all.’”
23 Dia nitaraina tamin’ i Jehovah tamin’ izany andro izany aho ka nanao hoe:
“At that time, I earnestly prayed, saying
24 Jehovah Tompo ô, Hianao vao naneho tamin’ ny mpanomponao ny fahalehibiazanao sy ny tananao mahery; fa aiza no misy andriamanitra, na any an-danitra na atỳ an-tany, izay mahay manao araka ny asanao sy ny herinao?
‘Yahweh our Lord, you have merely begun to show me that you are very great and to show me the powerful things that you can do [MTY]. There is certainly no [RHQ] god in heaven or on earth who can do the powerful things/deeds that you [have done].
25 Aoka mba handeha hita aho ka hahita ny tany soa izay any an-dafin’ i Jordana, dia ilay be tendrombohitra tsara sy Libanona.
So please allow me to cross the Jordan [River] and to see the good/fertile land on the west side, the beautiful hilly area and [the mountains in] Lebanon.’
26 Fa tezitra tamiko Jehovah noho ny aminareo ka tsy nihaino ahy; dia hoy Jehovah tamiko: Aoka izay, fa aza miteny amiko intsony ny amin’ izany zavatra izany ianao.
But Yahweh was angry with me because of [what] your ancestors [had made me do], so he would not pay attention to me. Instead, he said, ‘That is enough [talk from you]! Do not talk to me about that again!
27 Miakara eo an-tampon’ i Pisga ianao, ary atopazy ny masonao miankandrefana sy mianavaratra ary mianatsimo sy miantsinanana, ary aoka hijery ny masonao; fa tsy hita izany Jordana izany ianao;
Climb up to the top of Pisgah [Mountain] and look toward the west and to the east, toward the north and to the south. Look at [MTY] it all carefully, because you will not cross the Jordan [River to see the land from there].
28 fa mandidia an’ i Josoa ianao, dia mampahereza azy sy mampahatanjaha azy; fa izy no handeha hita eo alohan’ ity firenena ity, ary izy no hampandova azy ny tany izay ho hitanao.
But tell Joshua what he must do and encourage him to be strong, because he is the one who will lead the people [across the river in order that they can] occupy/capture the land that you will see [from the top of the mountain].’
29 Ka dia nitoetra tany an-dohasaha tandrifin’ i Beti-peora isika.
So we remained in the [Jordan River] Valley close to Beth-Peor [town].”
