Deotoronomia 2
1 Niotak’ amy zao tika nionjomb’ am-patrambey mb’eo, niary i Ria-Binday, mb’ami’ty nanoroa’ Iehovà ahiko vaho nañariary i Vohi-Seirey andro maro.
“Then we turned around and went through the desert toward the (Red Sea/Gulf of Aqaba), as Yahweh told us to do, and we wandered in the Edom area for many years.
2 Le hoe ty nitsarae’ Iehovà amako:
Then Yahweh said to me,
3 Fa losotse ty fiariaria’ areo ty vohitse toy. Mitoliha mañavaratse,
‘You have been wandering around this hilly area for a long enough time. Now turn [and travel] toward the north.
4 le afantoho ty hoe ondatio: Ho rangae’ areo ty tanen-drolongo’ areo, o tarira’ i Esave mpimoneñe e Seireo, f’ie ho hembañe ama’areo, aa le mitaoa
And tell the people that they are about to travel near the land that belongs to the descendants of Esau, who are also descendants of Isaac. They live in the [hilly] Edom region. They will be afraid of you,
5 tsy mone hihotakotak’ am’ iereo fa tsy hitalorako ndra zehem-pandia raik’ amy tane’iareoy amy te nimeako i Esave ho fanaña’e ty Vohi’ Seire.
but do not start to fight against them, because I am not going to give you even a tiny bit [HYP] of their land. I have given that land to the descendants of Esau.
6 Ho vilie’ areo an-drala o mahakama’eo hikamà’ areo, vaho hikaloa’ areo rano an-drala hinoma’ areo.
[When you travel near their land], buy food and water from them.’
7 Toe nitahie’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’ areo amy ze hene satam-pità’ areo naho arofoana’e ty firanga’ areo am-patram-bey atoy. Tsy eo ty nipaia’ areo amy efa-polo taoñe nindreza’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’ areo rezay.
Do not forget that Yahweh our God has blessed you in everything that you [SYN] have done. He knows [what has happened to you while] you have wandered in this huge desert. But he has been with you during those 40 years, and as a result you have had everything that you needed [LIT].
8 Aa le niarian-tika o tarira’ i Esave longon-tika mimoneñe e Seire ao, le nengan-tika ty lala’ i Arabà naho navotson-tika t’i Elate naho i Etsione-Gebere le nitsile vaho niary mb’amy lala’ i fatrambei’ i Moabeiy mb’eo.
So we continued to travel. We avoided going through the hilly area where the descendants of Esau live. We stayed away from the road through the Jordan [River] Valley past Ezion-Geber and Elath [towns], and we turned and traveled northeast toward the desert area where the Moab people-group lives.
9 Le nanao ty hoe amako t’Iehovà: Ko tsiborè’o t’i Moabe ndra hialy ama’e, fa tsy ho meiko ndra kede amo tane’eo ho fanañañe, amy te natoloko amo tarira’ i Loteo ty Are ho fanaña’e.
Yahweh said to me, ‘Do not bother/harass the people of Moab, and do not start to fight against them, because I am not going to give you any of their land. [Do not forget that] they are descendants of [Abraham’s nephew] Lot, and I have given to them Ar [city, their capital, and the other areas in that country].’”
10 (Nimoneña’ o nte-Emeo izay te taolo: ondaty mijoalajoala naho mitozantozañe, mira haabo amo nte-Anàkeo;
A large group of giants called Emim formerly lived there. They were strong and numerous, and as tall as the giants who were descendants of Anak.
11 Betek’ atao ty hoe nte-Refae iereo manahake o nte-Anakeo, f’ie atao’ o nte-Moabeo ty hoe nte-Emà.
They and the descendants of Anak are also called the Repha giants, but the people of Moab call them Emim.
12 Le nimoneñe e Seire ao o nte-Koreo taolo, fa niroahe’ o ana’ i Esaveo, rinotsa’e miaolo iareo vaho nitoboke an-tane’ iareo ao, manahake ty anoe’ Israele amy tane natolotse aze ho fanaña’ey; i natolo’ Iehovà iareoy).
The Hor people-group also formerly lived in the Edom area, but the descendants of Esau chased them out. They defeated and killed them and (settled in/occupied) their land, just as the Israeli people later expelled their enemies from the land that Yahweh gave to them.
13 Miongaha arè, le itsaho o toraha’ i Tseredeo. Aa le nitsahan-tika i torahan-Tserèdey.
[I also said to the Israeli people], “Then we crossed the Zered Gorge, as Yahweh told us to do.
14 Le o andro nañaveloan-tika boake Kadese-Barneà am-para’ t’ie nitsake i torahan-Tseredeio, le taoñe telo-polo-valo’ amby, ampara’ te fonga nivetrak’ añivo’ i tobey o lahindefoñe mpiharo-nonoo, amy nifantà’ Iehovà am’ iereoy.
It had been thirty-eight years from the time we first left Kadesh-Barnea until we crossed the Zered Gorge. During those years, all the Israeli (fighting men/soldiers) of that generation had died, as Yahweh had vowed would happen.
15 Toe nañonjona’ Iehovà haoke hañombota’e amy màroy am-para’ t’ie fonga nimongotse.
They died because Yahweh opposed them, until he had gotten rid of all of them.
16 Naho hene nikoromake añivo’ ondatio i lahindefoñe rezay,
After all the men who had been old enough to fight in wars had died [DOU],
17 le nitsara ty hoe amako t’Iehovà.
Yahweh said to me,
18 Hitsake i Are, efe-tane’ i Moabe irehe te anito.
‘Today you all must cross the border into the Moab region, near Ar, [their capital city].
19 Ie miharine ty efe-tane’ o nte-Amoneo, le ko tsibore’o vaho ko ialiañe, fa tsy hañomeako ty tane’ iareo ho fanaña’o, amy te natoloko an-tarira’ i Lote ho fanaña’e.
When you come near the border of the land where the Ammon people-group live, do not bother/harass them or start to fight against them. They are also descendants of Lot, so I am not going to give you any of the land that I have given to them.’”
20 (Toe natao t’ie tane’ o nte-Refaeo ka; fa nimoneñe ao o nte-Refaeo taolo, ie nitokave’ o nte-Amoneo ty hoe Zam’zome,
That region is also called the land of the Repha giants, who formerly lived there. The Ammon people-group call them the Zamzum group.
21 ondaty maozatse naho vasiañeñe mira amo nte-Anakeo. F’ie narotsa’ Iehovà aolo’ iareo eo handimbeza’ iareo fimoneñañe;
They were a large and powerful group, who were as tall as the descendants of Anak. But Yahweh got rid of them, and the Ammon people-group expelled them and took their land away from them and started to live there.
22 manahake ty nanoe’e amo tarira’ i Esave mimoneñe e Seireo ami’ty nandrotsaha’e o nte-Koreo aolo’ iareo, nandimbe iareo am-pimoneña’e pake henaneo;
Yahweh had done the same thing for the descendants of Esau who live in the hilly area of Edom. He got rid of the Hor people-group, with the result that the Edom people-group took their land from them and started to live there. They still live there.
23 naho o nte-Aveo, ie nimoneñe e Katsere pak’ Aza añe, le rinotsa’ o nte-Kaftore boake Kaftoreo, vaho nandimbe fiambesatse.)
People who came from Crete [Island] got rid of the Av group [who previously lived in the land close to the Mediterranean Sea], as far south as Gaza. They took their land from them and started to live there.
24 Miongaha, tonjohizo ty lia’ areo, itsaho o vavatane’ i Arnoneo. Ingo fa natoloko am-pità’ areo t’i Sihone nte-Amore mpanjaka’ i Khesbone naho ty tane’e. Miorota mitavañe, naho tameo añ’aly.
“[After we had gone through the Moab region], Yahweh said to us, ‘Now cross the Arnon [River]. I will help you to defeat [IDM] [the army of] Sihon, the king of the Amor people-group, who lives in Heshbon [city]. So attack their army and start to take their land from them.
25 Hampihembañeko naho hampirevendreveñeko ama’o henane zao ze hene ondaty ambanen-dikerañeo; ie mijanjiñe azo le hititititike ami’ty anifañe.
Today I will begin to cause everyone, everywhere, to be afraid of you. Everyone who hears about you will tremble and be terrified.’
26 Aa le nampisangitrifeko ìrake boak’ am-patrambein-Kedemote ao ho mb’e Sihone Mpanjaka’ i Khesbone añe, le hoe ty entam-panintsiñako ama’e:
Then I sent messengers to go from the desert to King Sihon at Heshbon. I told them to give this peaceful message to the king:
27 Angao iraho hiranga ty tane’o, fa i lalañey avao ty horiheko, tsy hitsile ndra mañavana ndra mañavia.
‘Please allow us to travel through your land. We [promise that we] will stay on the road; we will not turn off to the right or to the left.
28 Haleta’o drala amako ty mahakama hihinanako, vaho ie fahana’ areo rano hinomako, le ho soloako bogady, fe apoho ho rangaeko an-tomboke ty tane’o—
We will pay for any food or water that you allow us to buy. We want only to walk through your country,
29 hambañe ami’ty nanoe’ o tarira’ i Esave mimoneñe e Seireo amako naho ty nanoe’ o nte-Moabe mpimoneñe e Areo ka—ampara’ te itsahako Iardeney mb’an-tane nitolora’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’ay mb’eo.
until we cross the Jordan [River] into the land that Yahweh our God is giving to us. Do for us just as the descendants of Esau who live in the Edom area and the Moab people-group did for us when they allowed us to go through their areas.’
30 Fe tsy nimete hampiranga an-tika t’i Sihone Mpanjaka nte-Khesbone fa nampigan-troke aze t’Iehovà Andrianañahare’ areo vaho nampitokie’e ty arofo’e hanolora’e aze am-pità’ areo, le ie henaneo.
But King Sihon would not allow us to go through his country. That was because Yahweh our God caused him to be stubborn [IDM]. The result was that Yahweh enabled us to defeat his army and take his land [IDM], which we still live in.
31 Aa hoe t’Iehovà amako: Ingo, fa namototse hanolotse i Sihone naho i tane’ey ama’ areo iraho, aa le miorota henane zao hangalake i tane’ey ho lova’ areo.
Yahweh said to me, ‘Listen! I am about to allow you to defeat Sihon’s [army] and to take the people’s land from them. So start to occupy it!’
32 Aa le niavotse haname an-tika t’i Sihone, ie naho ondati’e iabio, hihotakotake ty aly e Iàhatse añe,
Then Sihon came out [of the city] with all his army to fight against us at Jahaz [town].
33 le natolo’ Iehovà Andrianañaharentika aolon-tika vaho linafa-tika naho o tiri’eo naho ondati’e iabio.
But God enabled us to defeat [DOU] them, and we killed Sihon and his sons and all his soldiers.
34 Le hene tinavan-tika o rova’eo henane zay, le fonga zinaman-tika ze ondaty ndra rakemba ndra ajaja amo rovao. Tsy napon-tika ndra honka’e.
We captured all their cities and destroyed them all. We killed all the men and women and children; we did not allow any of them to remain alive.
35 O hareo avao ty rinamben-tika ho fikopahañe rekets’ o raha kinopak’ amo rova tinavan-tikañeoo.
We took the valuable things that were in the cities that we captured and also their cattle.
36 Boak’ Arore aolo’ i vavatane Arnoney (rekets’ i rova am-bavataney) pake Gilàde le tsy teo ty rova loho abo tsy nilefe, fonga natolo’ Iehovà Andrianañaharentika amantika.
Yahweh our God enabled us to capture [IDM] all their towns from Aroer [in the south], which is at the edge of the Arnon River [Valley], to the Gilead [region in the north]. Some of their cities had [walls around them], but we were able to [climb over them].
37 Fe tsy niharinea’ areo o tanen’ ana’ i Amoneo, ndra aia aia amy saka’ Iabokey ndra amo rova ambohibohitseio, ndra aia aia nandrarà’ Iehovà Andrianañaharentika antika.
But we did not go near the area where the Ammon people-group live, or the banks of the Jabbok riverbed, or the towns in the hilly area, or any other place where Yahweh our God told us not to go.”
