< UDutheronomi 2 >
1 Sasesiphenduka, sasuka saya enkangala, indlela yoLwandle oluBomvu, njengokutsho kweNkosi kimi; njalo sayibhoda intaba yeSeyiri insuku ezinengi.
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 INkosi yasikhuluma kimi isithi:
Mlɔeba la, Yehowa gblɔ nam be,
3 Selibhode intaba le okweneleyo; phendukelani lina enyakatho.
“Mienɔ to sia ŋu wòdidi. Mitrɔ ɖo ta anyiehe lɔƒo.
4 Balaye-ke abantu usithi: Lidabula umngcele wabafowenu, abantwana bakaEsawu abahlala eSeyiri. Njalo bazalesaba, ngakho lizinanzelele kakhulu,
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 lingalwi labo; ngoba kangiyikulinika okwelizwe labo, lelingangokunyathela kwangaphansi konyawo, ngoba ngimnikile uEsawu intaba yeSeyiri ibe yilifa.
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 Lizathenga ukudla kubo ngemali ukuze lidle, lithenge kubo lamanzi ngemali ukuze linathe.
Mixe fe na wo ɖe woƒe nu si miaɖu kple woƒe tsi si ŋu dɔ miawɔ la ta.”
7 Ngoba iNkosi uNkulunkulu wakho ikubusisile emsebenzini wonke wesandla sakho; iyazi ukuhamba kwakho kulinkangala enkulu. Le iminyaka engamatshumi amane iNkosi uNkulunkulu wakho ibilawe, kawuswelanga 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 Uba sisedlula sisuka kubafowethu, abantwana bakaEsawu abahlala eSeyiri, ngendlela yegceke sisuke eElathi njalo sisuka eEziyoni-Geberi, saphenduka, sadlula ngendlela yenkangala yakoMowabi.
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 INkosi yasisithi kimi: Ungahlukuluzi uMowabi, ungalwi labo empini; ngoba kangiyikukunika okwelizwe labo kube yilifa, ngoba ngibanikile abantwana bakaLothi iAri ibe yilifa.
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 Kwakuhlala khona endulo amaEmi, abantu abakhulu, labanengi, labade, njengamaAnaki;
“Emitɔwo nɔ afi ma tsã. Wonye dukɔ gã aɖe, eye wodzɔ atsu abe Anak ƒe viwo ene.
11 babebalwa njengeziqhwaga labo njengamaAnaki, kodwa amaMowabi ababiza ngokuthi ngamaEmi.
Woyɔa Emitɔwo kple Anaktɔwo be Refaimtɔwo, ke Moabtɔwo yɔa wo be Emitɔwo.
12 LamaHori ayehlala eSeyiri endulo, kodwa abantwana bakaEsawu bawakhupha emfuyweni yabo, bawachitha phambi kwabo, bahlala endaweni yawo, njengokwenza kukaIsrayeli elizweni lelifa lakhe, iNkosi eyabanika lona.
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 Khathesi, sukumani lina lichaphe isifula iZeredi. Ngakho sachapha isifula iZeredi.
“Yehowa gblɔ be, ‘Mitso Zered tɔʋu la azɔ,’ eye míetsoe.
14 Lensuku esahamba ngazo sisuka eKadeshi-Bhaneya saze sachapha isifula iZeredi zaziyiminyaka engamatshumi amathathu lesificaminwembili, kwaze kwaphela isizukulwana sonke samadoda empi sisuka phakathi kwenkamba, njengokufunga kweNkosi kuwo.
“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 Ngoba isibili isandla seNkosi sasimelene lawo, ukuwachitha esuka phakathi kwenkamba, aze aphela.
Ɛ̃, Yehowa ƒe asi tsi tsitre ɖe wo ŋu va se ɖe esime wo katã woku.
16 Kwasekusithi lapho wonke amadoda empi esephelile esifa esuka phakathi kwabantu,
“Le esia megbe la,
17 INkosi yasikhuluma kimi isithi:
Yehowa gblɔ nam be,
18 Lamuhla uzakwedlula iAri, umngcele wakoMowabi,
‘Egbe la, Israelviwo ato Moab nyigba ƒe liƒo dzi le Ar,
19 lapho ususondele maqondana labantwana bakoAmoni, ungabahlukuluzi, ungalwi labo, ngoba kangiyikukunika okwelizwe labantwana bakoAmoni kube yilifa, ngoba ngilinike abantwana bakaLothi libe yilifa.
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 Lalelo labalwa njengelizwe leziqhwaga. Iziqhwaga zahlala kulo endulo, kodwa amaAmoni bazibiza ngokuthi ngamaZamuzumu;
“Refaimtɔwo nɔ afi ma hã kpɔ. Amonitɔwo yɔ wo be Zanzumitɔwo.
21 abantu abakhulu, labanengi, labade, njengamaAnaki; kodwa iNkosi yabachitha phambi kwabo, babakhupha emfuyweni yabo, bahlala 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 njengalokho eyakwenzela abantwana bakaEsawu, ababehlala eSeyiri, lapho yawachitha amaHori esuka phambi kwabo, bawakhupha emfuyweni yabo, bahlala endaweni yawo 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 LamaAvi, ayehlala eHazerimi kuze kube seGaza; amaKafitori, aphuma eKafitori, awachitha, ahlala endaweni yawo.
Nenema kee Kaftoritɔwo dze Avitɔwo, ame siwo nɔ du siwo kaka ɖe afi ma va se ɖe keke Gaza ke la dzi.”
24 Sukumani, lisuke lichaphe isifula iArinoni. Bona, nginikele esandleni sakho uSihoni, inkosi yeHeshiboni, umAmori, lelizwe lakhe; qala ukudla ilifa lalo, ulwe laye empini.
“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.
25 Lamuhla ngizaqalisa ukufaka uvalo ngawe lokwesabeka kwakho phezu kobuso bezizwe, ngaphansi kwamazulu wonke, ezizakuzwa umbiko ngawe, zithuthumele, ziqhaqhazele ngenxa yakho.
Tso gbe ma gbe dzi la, mana anyigbadzitɔwo katã nade asi dzodzo me nyanyanya le mia vɔvɔ̃ kple miaƒe afi ma ɖoɖo ta.”
26 Ngasengithuma izithunywa zisuka enkangala yeKedemothi kuSihoni inkosi yeHeshiboni, zilamazwi okuthula, zisithi:
“Tso Kedemot gbegbe la, meɖo ame dɔdɔwo ɖe Fia Sixɔn le Hesbon be míawɔ ŋutifafa kple eƒe amewo.
27 Ake ngidabule elizweni lakho; ngizahamba ngomgwaqo kuphela, ngingaphambukeli ngakwesokunene loba ngakwesokhohlo.
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 Uzangithengisela ukudla ngemali ukuze ngidle, ungiphe amanzi ngemali ukuze nginathe; kuphela ngizadabula ngenyawo zami,
Míafi miaƒe nuɖuɖu ne míele eme tsom o, ke boŋ míaxe fe ɖe miaƒe nu si míaɖu kple miaƒe tsi si míano la ta. Nu si biam míele koe nye be míato wò anyigba dzi ayi.’
29 njengalokhu abantwana bakaEsawu abahlala eSeyiri lamaMowabi ahlala eAri benza kimi, ngize ngichaphe iJordani, ngingene elizweni iNkosi uNkulunkulu wethu esinika 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 yeHeshiboni kasivumelanga ukuthi sidlule kuye; ngoba iNkosi uNkulunkulu wakho yenza umoya wakhe waba lukhuni, yenza lenhliziyo yakhe yaba lenkani, ukuze imnikele esandleni sakho, njengalamuhla.
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 INkosi yathi kimi: Bona, sengiqalisile ukunikela phambi kwakho uSihoni lelizwe lakhe; qalisa ukudla ilifa, ukuze udle ilifa lelizwe lakhe.
Azɔ la, Yehowa gblɔ nam be, “Medze Fia Sixɔn ƒe anyigba tsɔtsɔ na mi gɔme. Ne miexɔe la, azu Israelviwo tɔ tegbetegbe.”
32 Kwasekuphuma uSihoni ukumelana lathi, yena labantu bakhe bonke, ukulwa eJahazi.
Eye Sixɔn kple eƒe aʋakɔ blibo la ho aʋa va kpe mí le Yahaz.
33 INkosi uNkulunkulu wethu yasimnikela phambi kwethu; sasesimtshaya lamadodana akhe labantu bakhe bonke.
Ke Yehowa, míaƒe Mawu la na míeɖu wo dzi, xɔ woƒe duwo katã.
34 Ngalesosikhathi sasesithumba yonke imizi yakhe, satshabalalisa wonke umuzi, abesilisa labesifazana labantwanyana; kasitshiyanga insali;
Míetsrɔ̃ woƒe nu sia nu kple woƒe nyɔnuwo kple woƒe vidzĩwo katã. Míena naneke tsi agbe o,
35 sazithumbela izifuyo kuphela, lempango yemizi esayithumbayo.
negbe woƒe nyiwo ko. Míetsɔ woƒe nyiwo abe míaƒe fetu ene kpe ɖe afunyinu siwo míelɔ tso woƒe du siwo míexɔ me la ŋu.
36 Kusukela eAroweri esekhunjini lwesifula iArinoni, lomuzi osesifuleni, kuze kube seGileyadi kwakungekho muzi owawuphakeme kakhulu kithi. INkosi uNkulunkulu wethu yayinikela yonke phambi kwethu.
Míexɔ teƒe ɖe sia ɖe tso Aroer yi Gilead, tso Arnon tɔsisi la ƒe balime ƒe liƒo dzi kple du siwo katã le bali la me. Woƒe du aɖeke mesẽ wu mí o elabena Yehowa, mía Mawu la tsɔ wo katã de asi na mí.
37 Kuphela kawusondelanga elizweni labantwana bakoAmoni, endaweni yonke yesifula iJaboki, lemizini esezintabeni, lakukuphi iNkosi uNkulunkulu wethu esenqabela khona.
Ke míegblẽ Amonitɔwo kple Yabok tɔsisi la kple du siwo le tonyigba la dzi kple teƒe siwo me Yehowa, míaƒe Mawu, de se na mí be míagage ɖo o la ɖi.
