Dhuteronomi 2
1 Zvino takadzoka tikafamba takananga kurenje nenzira inoenda kuGungwa Dzvuku, sezvandakanga ndarayirwa naJehovha. Kwenguva yakareba takafamba nenzira yaipoterera nenyika yamakomo yeSeiri.
Then we turned back and headed for the wilderness by way of the Red Sea, as the LORD had instructed me, and for many days we wandered around Mount Seir.
2 Ipapo Jehovha akati kwandiri,
At this time the LORD said to me,
3 “Mafamba nenzira yokupoterera nyika iyi yamakomo kwenguva yakakwana, zvino chidzokai muende nechokumusoro.
“You have been wandering around this hill country long enough; turn to the north
4 Rayira vanhu uti, ‘Mava pedyo kuti mupfuure nomunyika yehama dzenyu zvizvarwa zvaEsau, vagere paSeiri. Ivo vachakutyai, asi muchenjere kwazvo.
and command the people: ‘You will pass through the territory of your brothers, the descendants of Esau, who live in Seir. They will be afraid of you, so you must be very careful.
5 Musavatanga kuti murwe, handingakupei chikamu chipi zvacho chenyika yavo, kunyange pangakwana kuisa rutsoka rwenyu. Ndakapa Esau nyika yamakomo yeSeiri kuti ive yake.
Do not provoke them, for I will not give you any of their land, not even a footprint, because I have given Mount Seir to Esau as his possession.
6 Munofanira kuvaripa nesirivha zvokudya zvamuchadya nemvura yamuchanwa.’”
You are to pay them in silver for the food you eat and the water you drink.’”
7 Jehovha Mwari wenyu akakuropafadzai pamabasa ose amaoko enyu. Akakutarirai parwendo rwenyu murenje iri guru. Jehovha Mwari wenyu akava nemi, makore makumi mana aya, uye hapana chinhu chamakashayiwa.
Indeed, the LORD your God has blessed you in all the work of your hands. He has watched over your journey through this vast wilderness. The LORD your God has been with you these forty years, and you have lacked nothing.
8 Naizvozvo takapfuura hama dzedu zvizvarwa zvaEsau, vanogara muSeiri. Takasiya nzira inoenda kuArabha, yeArabha, inobva kuErati neEzioni Gebheri, ndokufamba nenzira yomurenje reMoabhu.
So we passed by our brothers, the descendants of Esau, who live in Seir. We turned away from the Arabah road, which comes up from Elath and Ezion-geber, and traveled along the road of the Wilderness of Moab.
9 Ipapo Jehovha akataura kwandiri, akati, “Musafurusa vaMoabhu kana kuvadenha, nokuti handizokupai chikamu chipi zvacho chenyika yavo. Ndakapa Ari kuzvizvarwa zvaRoti kuti ive yavo.”
Then the LORD said to me, “Do not harass the Moabites or provoke them to war, for I will not give you any of their land, because I have given Ar to the descendants of Lot as their possession.”
10 (VaEmi vaisigarako vaiva vanhu vakasimba, vakawanda uye vakareba savaAnaki.
(The Emites used to live there, a people great and many, as tall as the Anakites.
11 SavaAnaki ivowo vaionekwa savaRefaimu, asi vaMoabhu vaivadana nezita rokuti vaEmi.
Like the Anakites, they were also regarded as Rephaim, though the Moabites called them Emites.
12 VaHori vaimbogarawo muSeiri, asi vana vaEsau vakavadzinga kubva imomo. Vakaparadza vaHori vakanga varimo ivo vasati vavamo vakagara munzvimbo yavo, sezvakangoitawo Israeri munyika yavakapiwa naJehovha kuti ive yavo).
The Horites used to live in Seir, but the descendants of Esau drove them out. They destroyed the Horites from before them and settled in their place, just as Israel did in the land that the LORD gave them as their possession.)
13 Uye Jehovha akati, “Zvino chisimukai muyambuke Mupata weZeredhi.” Saka takayambuka mupata.
“Now arise and cross over the Brook of Zered.” So we crossed over the Brook of Zered.
14 Makore makumi matatu namasere akanga apfuura kubva panguva yatakabva paKadheshi Bharinea kusvikira patakazoyambuka Mupata weZeredhi. Panguva iyoyi chizvarwa chose chavarume vezera rokurwa chakanga chaparara kubva pamisasa, sezvakanga zvapikirwa naJehovha kwavari.
The time we spent traveling from Kadesh-barnea until we crossed over the Brook of Zered was thirty-eight years, until that entire generation of fighting men had perished from the camp, as the LORD had sworn to them.
15 Ruoko rwaJehovha rwakaramba ruchivarwisa kusvikira rwavaparadza zvachose.
Indeed, the LORD’s hand was against them, to eliminate them from the camp, until they had all perished.
16 Zvino wokupedzisira pakati pavarume ava vokurwa akati afa,
Now when all the fighting men among the people had died,
17 Jehovha akati kwandiri,
the LORD said to me,
18 “Nhasi unofanira kupfuura nomunyika yeMoabhu, paAri.
“Today you are going to cross the border of Moab at Ar.
19 Kana woswedera pedyo navaAmoni, usavafurusa kana kuvadenha kuti murwisane, nokuti handingakupei kuti mutore nyika ipi zvayo yavaAmori. Ndakaipa kuti ive yezvizvarwa zvaRoti.”
But when you get close to the Ammonites, do not harass them or provoke them, for I will not give you any of the land of the Ammonites. I have given it to the descendants of Lot as their possession.”
20 (Naiyowo yainzi inyika yevaRafaimu, vaisimbogaramo; asi vaAmoni vaivadaidza kuti vaZamuzumi.
(That too was regarded as the land of the Rephaim, who used to live there, though the Ammonites called them Zamzummites.
21 Vaiva vanhu vakasimba, vakawanda, uye vakareba savaAnaki. Jehovha akavaparadza pamberi pavaAmoni, avo vakavadzinga ndokugara munzvimbo yavo.
They were a people great and many, as tall as the Anakites. But the LORD destroyed them from before the Ammonites, who drove them out and settled in their place,
22 Jehovha akanga aitira zvimwe chetezvo kuzvizvarwa zvaEsau, vaigara muSeiri, paakaparadza vaHori pamberi pavo. Vakavadzinga ndokugara munzvimbo yavo kusvikira nhasi.
just as He had done for the descendants of Esau who lived in Seir, when He destroyed the Horites from before them. They drove them out and have lived in their place to this day.
23 Uye kana vari vaAvhi vakanga vagere mumisha kusvikira kuGaza, vaKafitori vaibva Kafitori vakavaparadza ndokugara munzvimbo yavo.)
And the Avvim, who lived in villages as far as Gaza, were destroyed by the Caphtorites, who came out of Caphtor and settled in their place.)
24 Budai zvino muende, muyambuke mupata weArinoni. Tarirai ndakaisa muruoko rwenyu Sihoni muAmori, mambo weHeshibhoni, nenyika yake. Tangai kuitora mugorwa naye.
“Arise, set out, and cross the Arnon Valley. See, I have delivered into your hand Sihon the Amorite, king of Heshbon, and his land. Begin to take possession of it and engage him in battle.
25 Nhasi chaiye ndichatanga kuvhundutsa nokutyisa ndudzi dzose dziri pasi pedenga nokuda kwenyu. Ivo vachanzwa guhu pamusoro penyu vagodedera nokutya kwazvo pamusoro penyu.
This very day I will begin to put the dread and fear of you upon all the nations under heaven. They will hear the reports of you and tremble in anguish because of you.”
26 Ndakatuma nhume kubva murenje reKedhemoti kuna Sihoni mambo weHeshibhoni ndichikumbira rugare, uye ndikati,
So from the Wilderness of Kedemoth I sent messengers with an offer of peace to Sihon king of Heshbon, saying,
27 “Titenderei kuti tipfuure nomunyika yenyu. Tichafamba nemugwagwa mukuru; hatizotsauki kurudyi kana kuruboshwe.
“Let us pass through your land; we will stay on the main road. We will not turn to the right or to the left.
28 Mutitengesere zvokudya nemvura yokunwa nomutengo wazvo wesirivha. Chingotitenderai henyu kuti tipfuure netsoka,
You can sell us food to eat and water to drink in exchange for silver. Only let us pass through on foot,
29 sezvatakaitirwa nezvizvarwa zvaEsau vagere muSeiri, nevaMoabhu vagere muAri. Kusvikira tayambuka Jorodhani tichipinda munyika iyo yatinopiwa naJehovha Mwari wedu.”
just as the descendants of Esau who live in Seir and the Moabites who live in Ar did for us, until we cross the Jordan into the land that the LORD our God is giving us.”
30 Asi Sihoni mambo weHeshibhoni akaramba kutitendera kuti tipfuure nomo. Nokuti Jehovha Mwari wenyu akanga aomesa mweya wake uye akanga arambidza mwoyo wake, kuti agomuisa mumaoko enyu, sezvaaita iye zvino.
But Sihon king of Heshbon would not let us pass through, for the LORD your God had made his spirit stubborn and his heart obstinate, that He might deliver him into your hand, as is the case this day.
31 Jehovha akati kwandiri, “Tarira ndatanga kuisa Sihoni nenyika yake kwauri. Zvino chitanga kuikunda ugotora nyika yake.”
Then the LORD said to me, “See, I have begun to deliver Sihon and his land over to you. Now begin to conquer and possess his land.”
32 Sihoni nehondo yake yose akati auya kuzorwa nesu paJahazi,
So Sihon and his whole army came out for battle against us at Jahaz.
33 Jehovha Mwari wedu akamuisa kwatiri uye takamuparadza, iye pamwe chete navanakomana vake nehondo yake yose.
And the LORD our God delivered him over to us, and we defeated him and his sons and his whole army.
34 Panguva iyoyo takatora maguta ake ose tikaaparadza chose, varume navakadzi uye navana. Hapana watakasiya ari mupenyu.
At that time we captured all his cities and devoted to destruction the people of every city, including women and children. We left no survivors.
35 Asi zvipfuwo nezvatakapamba kubva mumaguta takazvitora kuti zvive zvedu.
We carried off for ourselves only the livestock and the plunder from the cities we captured.
36 Kubva paAroeri pamahombekombe oMupata weArinoni, nokubva kuguta rokumupata, kunyange kusvikira kuGireadhi, hakuna kumbova kana neguta rimwe chete rakatikunda. Jehovha Mwari wedu akatipa vose.
From Aroer on the rim of the Arnon Valley, along with the city in the valley, even as far as Gilead, not one city had walls too high for us. The LORD our God gave us all of them.
37 Asi maererano nokurayira kwaJehovha Mwari wedu hamuna kuswedera kunyika ipi zvayo yavaAmoni, kunyange kunyika iri kurutivi rweJabhoki kana kunyika yakapoteredza maguta ari mumakomo.
But you did not go near the land of the Ammonites, or the land along the banks of the Jabbok River, or the cities of the hill country, or any place that the LORD our God had forbidden.
