1 “Sasesiphenduka siqonda enkangala ngendlela yoLwandle oluBomvu njengokulaywa kwami nguThixo. Okwesikhathi eside sasilokhu sibhoda ezweni lamaqaqa aseSeyiri.
Míetrɔ, gbugbɔ to gbegbe la heɖo ta Ƒu Dzĩ la gbɔ, elabena nenemae Yehowa ɖo nam. Míetsa tsaglalã le Seir to la gbɔ ƒe geɖewo.
2 UThixo wasesithi kimi,
Mlɔeba la, Yehowa gblɔ nam be,
3 ‘Selibhode labhoda ezweni lamaqaqa sekwanele; khathesi phendukani likhangele enyakatho.
“Mienɔ to sia ŋu wòdidi. Mitrɔ ɖo ta anyiehe lɔƒo.
4 Nika abantu leziziqondiso: “Khathesi selizakwedlula elizweni labafowenu isizukulwane sika-Esawu, abahlala eSeyiri. Bazalesaba, kodwa libolimuka linanzelele.
Gblɔ na ameawo be wole wo nɔviwo, Edomtɔwo ƒe anyigba dzi to ge. Ame siawoe nye Esau ƒe dzidzimevi siwo le Seir. Dzidzi aƒo Edomtɔwo, eya ta mikpɔ nyuie.
5 Lingaboqala livuse impi ngoba angiyikulipha ilizwe labo, sengisitsho lesiqinti esilingana unyawo olulodwa. Nganika u-Esawu ilizwe laseSeyiri elamaqaqa ukuthi libe ngelakhe.
Migaho aʋa ɖe wo ŋu o, elabena metsɔ Seir to la ƒe tonyigbawo katã na wo tegbetegbe, eye nyematsɔ woƒe anyigba ƒe kakɛ aɖeke ana mi o.
6 Lizababhadala ngesiliva libhadalela ukudla elizakudla lamanzi elizawanatha.”’
Mixe fe na wo ɖe woƒe nu si miaɖu kple woƒe tsi si ŋu dɔ miawɔ la ta.”
7 UThixo uNkulunkulu wenu uyibusisile imisebenzi yezandla zenu. Ulikhokhele kulolonke uhambo lwenu phakathi kwenkangala enkulu kangaka. Iminyaka engamatshumi amane uThixo wenu ube lani, kalizange liswele lutho.
Yehowa, míaƒe Mawu la kpɔ mía ta, eye wòyra míaƒe afɔɖeɖe ɖe sia ɖe le míaƒe mɔzɔzɔ me le ƒe blaene siawo katã me, esime míetsa tsaglalã le gbegbe gã la. Naneke mehiã mí le ɣeyiɣi ma katã me o!
8 Ngakho sahamba sedlula ezihlotsheni zethu isizukulwane sika-Esawu abahlala eSeyiri. Saphenduka sisuka emgwaqweni wase-Arabha okhwela usuka e-Elathi le-Eziyoni-Gebheri, sahamba ngomgwaqo wenkangala yaseMowabi.
Ale míeto Edom, afi si mía nɔviwo Esau viwo nɔ le Seir. Míeto Araba mɔ si to anyigbeme yi Elat kple Ezion Geber, eye míeto dzigbeme ɖo ta Moab gbegbe la.
9 UThixo wasesithi kimi, ‘Lingahlukuluzi amaMowabi loba ukubavusela impi, ngoba angiyikulinika ngitsho lesiqintshana selizwe labo. Senginike ele-Ari isizukulwane sikaLothi ukuba kube yisabelo sabo.’”
Yehowa míaƒe Mawu de se na mí be, “Migaho aʋa ɖe Moabtɔwo hã ŋu o, elabena nyematsɔ woƒe anyigba ƒe akpa aɖeke na mi o. Metsɔe na Lot ƒe dzidzimeviwo!”
10 (Ama-Emi ake ahlala khonapho, abantu abalamandla njalo abanengi kakhulu, futhi bebade njengama-Anakhi.
“Emitɔwo nɔ afi ma tsã. Wonye dukɔ gã aɖe, eye wodzɔ atsu abe Anak ƒe viwo ene.
11 Labo njengama-Anakhi babebalwa njengamaRefayi, kodwa amaMowabi ayebabiza ngokuthi ngama-Emi.
Woyɔa Emitɔwo kple Anaktɔwo be Refaimtɔwo, ke Moabtɔwo yɔa wo be Emitɔwo.
12 AmaHori ayekade ehlala eSeyiri, kodwa adudulwa yisizukulwane sika-Esawu. Babhubhisa amaHori ayelapho basebesakha endaweni yawo, njengalokho okwenziwa ngabako-Israyeli ezweni abaliphiwa nguThixo ukuba libe yisabelo sabo.)
Horitɔwoe nɔ Seir tsã, ke Edomtɔwo, Esau ƒe dzidzimeviwo nya wo hexɔ wo teƒe abe ale si Israelviwo ava xɔ Kanaantɔwo, ame siwo ƒe anyigba Yehowa tsɔ na Israelviwo la teƒe ene.
13 “UThixo wasesithi, ‘Khathesi sukani lichaphe isiHotsha saseZeredi.’ Ngakho sachapha isihotsha.
“Yehowa gblɔ be, ‘Mitso Zered tɔʋu la azɔ,’ eye míetsoe.
14 Kwedlula iminyaka engamatshumi amathathu leyisificaminwembili sisuke eKhadeshi Bhaneya sisiyachapha isiHotsha saseZeredi. Ngalesosikhathi, amadoda ebutho alesosizukulwane ayesebhubhile, njengokufungelwa kwabo nguThixo.
“Ale míezɔ mɔ ƒe blaetɔ̃-vɔ-enyi hafi te ŋu to Zered mlɔeba, heɖo Kades, elabena Yehowa ka atam be míaɖo Kades o, va se ɖe esime ame siwo katã tsi ate ŋu ayi aʋa le ƒe blaetɔ̃-vɔ-enyi si va yi me la katã ku hafi.
15 UThixo wamelana labo waze wabatshabalalisa bonke ezihonqweni.
Ɛ̃, Yehowa ƒe asi tsi tsitre ɖe wo ŋu va se ɖe esime wo katã woku.
16 Kwathi-ke sekufe abokucina emadodeni ebutho,
“Le esia megbe la,
17 uThixo wathi kimi,
Yehowa gblɔ nam be,
18 ‘Lamuhla uzakwedlula emangweni waseMowabi ngase-Ari.
‘Egbe la, Israelviwo ato Moab nyigba ƒe liƒo dzi le Ar,
19 Ekufikeni kwakho kuma-Amoni, ungawahlukuluzi loba ukuwavusela impi, ngoba angiyikukunika loba yiliphi ilizwe lama-Amoni. Ngilinike lesisizukulwane sikaLothi ukuba kube yisabelo sabo.’”
age ɖe Amonitɔwo ƒe anyigba dzi. Ke migaho aʋa ɖe wo ŋu o, elabena nyematsɔ woƒe anyigba ƒe akpa aɖeke na mi o. Metsɔe na Lot ƒe dzidzimeviwo.’
20 (Leli lalo laliphathwa njengelizwe lamaRefayi ayehlala khonapho; kodwa ama-Amoni ayebabiza ngokuthi ngamaZamzumu.
“Refaimtɔwo nɔ afi ma hã kpɔ. Amonitɔwo yɔ wo be Zanzumitɔwo.
21 Babengabantu abalamandla bebanengi kakhulu, njalo bebade njengama-Anakhi. UThixo wababhubhisa phambi kwama-Amoni, wona abadudulayo njalo ahlala endaweni yabo.
Wonye dukɔ gã sesẽ aɖe, eye wokɔ abe Anaktɔwo ene. Ke Yehowa tsrɔ̃ wo esime Amoritɔwo va anyigba la dzi, eye woxɔ wo teƒe.
22 UThixo wayenze njalo esizukulwaneni sika-Esawu, esasiseSeyiri, ekubhubhiseni kwakhe amaHori phambi kwabo. Babadudula basebehlala endaweni yabo kuze kube lamuhla.
Nenema ke Yehowa kpe ɖe Esau ƒe dzidzimeviwo ŋu le Seir to la gbɔ, eye wotsrɔ̃ Horitɔwo, ame siwo nɔ afi ma do ŋgɔ na wo.
23 Kanti-ke okunjengama-Avi ayehlala emizini ekhatshana njengeGaza, amaKhafithori ayevela eKhafithori ababhubhisa asehlala endaweni yabo.)
Nenema kee Kaftoritɔwo dze Avitɔwo, ame siwo nɔ du siwo kaka ɖe afi ma va se ɖe keke Gaza ke la dzi.”
24 “‘Suka khathesi uchaphe uDonga lwase-Arinoni. Uyabona, senginikele esandleni sakho uSihoni umʼAmori inkosi yaseHeshibhoni kanye lelizwe lakhe. Qalisa ukuthatha lelilizwe ulwe impi laye.
“Azɔ Yehowa gblɔ nam be, Mitso Arnon tɔsisi la, miage ɖe Sixɔn, Amoritɔwo ƒe fia, ame si le Hesbon la ƒe anyigba dzi. Miwɔ aʋa kpli wo, eye miade asi anyigba la xɔxɔ me.

Tso gbe ma gbe dzi la, mana anyigbadzitɔwo katã nade asi dzodzo me nyanyanya le mia vɔvɔ̃ kple miaƒe afi ma ɖoɖo ta.”
26 Kusukela enkangala yaseKhedemothi ngathumela izithunywa kuSihoni inkosi yaseHeshibhoni ngisithi akubekhona ukuthula njalo ngisithi,
“Tso Kedemot gbegbe la, meɖo ame dɔdɔwo ɖe Fia Sixɔn le Hesbon be míawɔ ŋutifafa kple eƒe amewo.
27 ‘Sivumele sidabule elizweni lakho. Sizahamba ngomgwaqo omkhulu kuphela, asiyikuphambukela ngakwesokudla loba ngakwesokunxele.
Míebia be, ‘Na míato wò anyigba dzi ayi. Míanɔ mɔ gã la dzi ko; míage ɖe miaƒe agblewo me le ɖusime loo alo miame o.
28 Sithengisele ukudla lamanzi okunatha ngentengo yesiliva. Sivumele nje sedlule ngezinyawo,

29 njengezizukulwane zika-Esawu ezihlala eSeyiri, kanye lamaMowabi ahlala e-Ari, asenzela khona, size sichaphe uJodani singene elizweni uThixo uNkulunkulu wethu asinika lona.’
Edomtɔwo ɖe mɔ na mí le Seir míeto woƒe anyigba dzi. Moabtɔwo hã wɔ nenema ke na mi le Ar. Míele mɔ dzi be míatso Yɔdan, ayi anyigba si Yehowa míaƒe Mawu tsɔ na mí la dzi.”
30 Kodwa uSihoni inkosi yaseHeshibhoni yala ukuthi sedlule. Ngoba uThixo uNkulunkulu wenu wayeyenze umoya wakhe waba lobuqholo lenhliziyo yakhe yaba lukhuni ukuze amnikele ezandleni zenu, njengoba esekwenzile khathesi.
Ke Hesbon fia Sixɔn melɔ̃ be mía egbɔ ayi o, elabena Yehowa, miaƒe Mawu la na wòsẽ dzi me, ale be wòate ŋu aɖe asi le Sixɔn ŋu na mi abe ale si wòwɔe fifia ene.
31 UThixo wathi kimi, ‘Khangela, sengiqalisile ukunikela uSihoni lelizwe lakhe kuwe. Qalisa khathesi ukunqoba uthathe ilizwe lakhe.’
Azɔ la, Yehowa gblɔ nam be, “Medze Fia Sixɔn ƒe anyigba tsɔtsɔ na mi gɔme. Ne miexɔe la, azu Israelviwo tɔ tegbetegbe.”
32 Kwathi uSihoni ephuma lebutho lakhe ukusihlangabeza ekuhlaseleni eJahazi,
Eye Sixɔn kple eƒe aʋakɔ blibo la ho aʋa va kpe mí le Yahaz.
33 uThixo uNkulunkulu wethu wamnikela kithi sambulala, yena kanye lamadodana akhe lebutho lakhe lonke.
Ke Yehowa, míaƒe Mawu la na míeɖu wo dzi, xɔ woƒe duwo katã.
34 Ngalesosikhathi sathatha amadolobho akhe sawabhidliza, amadoda, abesifazane kanye labantwana. Kakho owasilayo.

36 Kusukela e-Aroweri emngceleni wodonga lwase-Arinoni, kanye lokusuka edolobheni elisedongeni, kusiya khonale eGiliyadi, akuladolobho elalingamelana lathi. UThixo uNkulunkulu wethu wawanikela wonke kithi.
