Torati 3

1 Kisha tuligeuka na kwenda njia ya juu Bashani. Ogi, mfalme wa Bashani, alikuja na kutuvamia, yeye na watu wake wote, kupigana huko Edrei.

Then we turned and went up the road to Bashan, and Og king of Bashan and his whole army came out to meet us in battle at Edrei.

2 Yahwe aliniambia mimi, “Usimuogope; kwa kuwa nimekupa ushindi dhidi yake na nimewaweka watu wake wote na nchi yake chini ya utawala wako. Utamfanya kama ulivyomfanya Sihoni, mfalme wa Amorites, aliyeishi Heshbon.

But the LORD said to me, “Do not fear him, for I have delivered him into your hand, along with all his people and his land. Do to him as you did to Sihon king of the Amorites, who lived in Heshbon.”

3 Kwa hiyo Yahwe Mungu wetu pia alitupa ushindi dhidi ya Ogi mfalme wa Bashani, na watu wake wote waliwekwa chini ya utawala wetu. Na tulimpiga mpaka kufa na hakuna yoyote wa watu wake walibaki.

So the LORD our God also delivered Og king of Bashan and his whole army into our hands. We struck them down until no survivor was left.

4 Tulichukua miji yake yote kwa wakati huo; hapakuwa na mji hata mmoja ambao hatukuchukua kutoka kwao: miji sitini - mikoa ya Argobi yote, ufalme wa Ogi Bashani.

At that time we captured all sixty of his cities. There was not a single city we failed to take—the entire region of Argob, the kingdom of Og in Bashan.

5 Hii ilikuwa miji iliyoimarishwa na kuta ndevu, malango, na vizuizi, hii ilikuwa licha ya vijiji vingi sana vilivyokuwa havina kuta.

All these cities were fortified with high walls and gates and bars, and there were many more unwalled villages.

6 Tuliviangamiza kabisa, kama tulivyofanya kwa Sihoni mfalme wa Heshbon, kabisa tuliangamiza kila mji- wanaume na wanawake na watoto wadogo.

We devoted them to destruction, as we had done to Sihon king of Heshbon, utterly destroying the men, women, and children of every city.

7 Lakini ng'ombe wote na mateka ya miji, tilichukua kama mateka wetu.

But all the livestock and plunder of the cities we carried off for ourselves.

8 Kwa wakati huo tulichukua nchi kutoka kwenye mkono wa wafalme wawili wa Amorites, waliokuwa ng'ambo ya pili ya Yordani, kutoka kwenye bonde la Arnon kwenda mlima wa Hermoni,

At that time we took from the two kings of the Amorites the land across the Jordan, from the Arnon Valley as far as Mount Hermon—

9 (Mlima wa Hermoni, Wasidonia huita Sirioni, na Wamorites huita Seniri)

which the Sidonians call Sirion but the Amorites call Senir—

10 na miji yote ya tambarare, yote Gileadi, na yote Bashani kupita njia yote ya Salekah na Edrei, miji ya ufalme wa Ogi huko Bashani”.

all the cities of the plateau, all of Gilead, and all of Bashan as far as the cities of Salecah and Edrei in the kingdom of Og.

11 (Kwa mabaki ya Refaimu, mfalme Ogi pekee wa Bashani alikuwa amebaki. Tazama! Kitanda chake kilikuwa cha chuma. Hakuna huko Rabbah, ambako wazao wa Ammoni waliishi? Ilikuwa dhiraa tisa urefu na dhiraa nne upana, hiyo njia walitumia watu kupima.)

(For only Og king of Bashan had remained of the remnant of the Rephaim. His bed of iron, nine cubits long and four cubits wide, is still in Rabbah of the Ammonites.)

12 “Hili eneo ambalo tulichukua kumiliki kwa wakati huo-kutoka Aroer, kwamba ni kwa bonde la Arnon, na nusu ya nchi ya mlima wa Gileadi, na miji yake-Nilimpa Reubenites na kwa Gadites.

So at that time we took possession of this land. To the Reubenites and Gadites I gave the land beyond Aroer along the Arnon Valley, and half the hill country of Gilead, along with its cities.

13 Waliobaki wa Gileadi na Bashani yote, ufalme wa Ogi, Niliwapa nusu kabila la Manasseh: kwa wote wa Argob, na Bashani yote. (Eneo hilo linaitwa nchi ya Refaim)

To the half-tribe of Manasseh I gave the rest of Gilead and all of Bashan, the kingdom of Og. (The entire region of Argob, the whole territory of Bashan, used to be called the land of the Rephaim.)

14 Jair, mzao wa Manasseh, alichukuwa mkoa wote wa Argob, kuelekea mpaka wa Geshunites na wa Maacathites. Aliita mkoa hata Bashani kwa jina lake, Havvothi Jair, hadi leo.)

Jair, a descendant of Manasseh, took the whole region of Argob as far as the border of the Geshurites and Maacathites. He renamed Bashan after himself, Havvoth-jair, by which it is called to this day.

15 Nilimpa Gileadi kwa Machir.

To Machir I gave Gilead,

16 Kwa Reubenites na kwa Gadites nilitoa eneo kutoka kwa Gileadi kuelekea bonde la Arnon- katikati mwa bonde ni mpaka wa eneo- na kuelekea mto wa Jabbok, ambao umepakana ni wazao wa Ammoni.

and to the Reubenites and Gadites I gave the territory from Gilead to the Arnon Valley (the middle of the valley was the border) and up to the Jabbok River, the border of the Ammonites.

17 Moja ya mipaka mingine pia ni tambarare ya bonde la mto wa Yordani, kutoka Chinnerethi kuelekea bahari ya Arabah(ambayo ni bahari ya Chumvi) kuelekea miteremko wa mlima wa Pisgah mashariki.

The Jordan River in the Arabah bordered it from Chinnereth to the Sea of the Arabah (the Salt Sea ) with the slopes of Pisgah to the east.

18 Nilikuamuru wewe kwa wakati huo, kusema, Yahwe Mungu wako amekupa nchi hii kuimiliki, wewe, wamaume wote wa vita, watapita wakiwa na silaha mbele ya ndugu zako, watu wa Israeli.

At that time I commanded you: “The LORD your God has given you this land to possess. All your men of valor are to cross over, armed for battle, ahead of your brothers, the Israelites.

19 Lakini wake zenu, watoto wenu, na ng'ombe zenu (najua ya kuwa una ng'ombe wengi) watabaki katika miji yenu niliyowapa,

But your wives, your children, and your livestock—I know that you have much livestock—may remain in the cities I have given you,

20 mpaka Yahwe awape pumziko ndugu zenu, kama alivyo kwenu, mpaka wamiliki pia nchi ambayo Yahwe Mungu wenu anawapa ng'ambo ya pili Yordani, kisha mtageuka, kila mtu wenu, kwa mali zenu ambazo nimekwishawapa.

until the LORD gives rest to your brothers as He has to you, and they too have taken possession of the land that the LORD your God is giving them across the Jordan. Then each of you may return to the possession I have given you.”

21 Nilimwamuru Yoshua kwa wakati huo, kusema, 'Macho yenu yameona yote yale Yahwe Mungu wenu amefanya kwa hawa wafalme wawili; Yahwe atafanya hivyo kwa falme zote kote mtakakoenda.

And at that time I commanded Joshua: “Your own eyes have seen all that the LORD your God has done to these two kings. The LORD will do the same to all the kingdoms you are about to enter.

22 Hamtawaogopa, kwa kuwa Yahwe Mungu wenu ndiye atakaoawapigania.'

Do not be afraid of them, for the LORD your God Himself will fight for you.”

23 Nilimsihi Yahwe kwa wakati huo, kusema,

At that time I also pleaded with the LORD:

24 'O Bwana Yahwe, umeanza kumuonesha mtumwa wako ukuu wako na mkono wako wa hodari; kwa kuwa nani mungu aliyeko huko mbinguni au duniani ambaye anaweza kufanya kazi zilezile kama ilivyofanya, na matendo yaleyale makuu?

“O Lord GOD, You have begun to show Your greatness and power to Your servant. For what god in heaven or on earth can perform such works and mighty acts as Yours?

25 Hebu niende juu, Ninakuoma, na nione nchi nzuri ambayo ng'ambo ya pili ya Yordani, ile nchi nzuri ya mlima, na pia Lebanoni.

Please let me cross over and see the good land beyond the Jordan—that pleasant hill country as well as Lebanon!”

26 Lakini Yahwe alikuwa amenikasirikia mimi kwa sababu yenu, hakunisikiliza mimi. Yahwe alisema kwangu, “Hebu hii iwe ya kutosha kwako - usizungumze zaidi tena kwangu kuhusu jambo hili.

But the LORD was angry with me on account of you, and He would not listen to me. “That is enough,” the LORD said to me. “Do not speak to Me again about this matter.

27 nenda juu ya kilele cha Pisgah na uinue macho yako magharibi, mashariki, kusini na mashariki; tazama kwa macho yako kwa kuwa hautaenda zaidi ya Yordani.

Go to the top of Pisgah and look to the west and north and south and east. See the land with your own eyes, for you will not cross this Jordan.

28 Badala yake, mwelekeze Yoshua na kumtia moyo na kumuimarisha, kwa kuwa ataenda zaidi mbele ya watu, na atawasababisha kuirithi nchi ambayo mtaiona.

But commission Joshua, encourage him, and strengthen him, for he will cross over ahead of the people and enable them to inherit the land that you will see.”

29 Kwa hiyo tulibaki katika bonde mkabala mwa Beth Peor.

So we stayed in the valley opposite Beth-peor.
