< 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 vp by the way of Bashan: and Og King of Bashan came out against vs, he, and all his people to fight 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.
And the Lord sayde vnto me, Feare him not, for I will deliuer him, and all his people, and his land into thine hand, and thou shalt doe vnto him as thou diddest vnto Sihon King of the Amorites, which dwelt at 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 deliuered also vnto our hand, Og the King of Bashan, and all his people: and we smote him, vntill none was left him aliue,
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.
And we tooke all his cities the same time, neither was there a citie which we tooke not from them, euen three score cities, and all ye countrey of Argob, the kingdome 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 fenced with hie walles, gates and barres, beside vnwalled townes a great many.
6 Tuliviangamiza kabisa, kama tulivyofanya kwa Sihoni mfalme wa Heshbon, kabisa tuliangamiza kila mji- wanaume na wanawake na watoto wadogo.
And we ouerthrewe them, as we did vnto Sihon King of Heshbon, destroying euery citie, with men, women, and children.
7 Lakini ng'ombe wote na mateka ya miji, tilichukua kama mateka wetu.
But all the cattell and the spoyle of the cities we tooke for our selues.
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,
Thus we tooke at that time out of the hand of two Kings of the Amorites, the land that was on this side Iorden from the riuer of Arnon vnto mount Hermon:
9 (Mlima wa Hermoni, Wasidonia huita Sirioni, na Wamorites huita Seniri)
(Which Hermon the Sidonians call Shirion, but the Amorites call it Shenir)
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 plaine, and all Gilead, and all Bashan vnto Salchah, and Edrei, cities of the kingdome of Og in Bashan.
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 onely Og King of Bashan remained of the remnant of the gyants, whose bed was a bed of yron: is it not at Rabbath among the children of Ammon? the length thereof is nine cubites, and foure cubites the breadth of it, after the cubite of a man.
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.
And this land which we possessed at that time, from Aroer, which is by the riuer of Arnon, and halfe mount Gilead, and the cities thereof, gaue I vnto the Reubenites and Gadites.
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)
And the rest of Gilead, and all Bashan, the kingdome of Og, gaue I vnto the halfe tribe of Manasseh: euen all the countrey of Argob with all Bashan, which is called, The land of gyants.
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.)
Iair the sonne of Manasseh tooke all the countrey of Argob, vnto the coastes of Geshuri, and of Maachathi: and called them after his owne name, Bashan, Hauoth Iair vnto this day.
15 Nilimpa Gileadi kwa Machir.
And I gaue part of Gilead vnto Machir.
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 vnto the Reubenites and Gadites I gaue the rest of Gilead, and vnto the riuer of Arnon, halfe the riuer and the borders, euen vnto the riuer Iabbok, which is the border of the children of Ammon:
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 plaine also and Iorden, and the borders from Chinneereth euen vnto the Sea of the plaine, to wit, the salt Sea vnder the springs of Pisgah Eastwarde.
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.
And I commanded you the same time, saying, The Lord your God hath giuen you this lande to possesse it: ye shall goe ouer armed before your brethren the children of Israel, all men of warre.
19 Lakini wake zenu, watoto wenu, na ng'ombe zenu (najua ya kuwa una ng'ombe wengi) watabaki katika miji yenu niliyowapa,
Your wiues onely, and your children, and your cattel (for I know that ye haue much cattel) shall abide in your cities, which I haue giuen 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.
Vntill the Lord haue giuen rest vnto your brethren as vnto you, and that they also possesse the lande, which the Lord your God hath giuen them beyond Iorden: then shall ye returne euery man vnto his possession, which I haue giuen 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 I charged Ioshua the same time, saying, Thine eyes haue seene all that the Lord your God hath done vnto these two Kings: so shall the Lord doe vnto all the kingdomes whither thou goest.
22 Hamtawaogopa, kwa kuwa Yahwe Mungu wenu ndiye atakaoawapigania.'
Ye shall not feare them: for the Lord your God, he shall fight for you.
23 Nilimsihi Yahwe kwa wakati huo, kusema,
And I besought the Lord the same time, saying,
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, thou hast begunne to shewe thy seruant thy greatnesse and thy mightie hande: for where is there a God in heauen or in earth, that can do like thy workes, and like thy power?
25 Hebu niende juu, Ninakuoma, na nione nchi nzuri ambayo ng'ambo ya pili ya Yordani, ile nchi nzuri ya mlima, na pia Lebanoni.
I pray thee let me go ouer and see the good land that is beyond Iorden, that goodly mountaine, and 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 angrie with me for your sakes, and would not heare me: and the Lord said vnto me, Let it suffice thee, speake no more vnto me of 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.
Get thee vp into the top of Pisgah, and lift vp thine eyes Westward, and Northwarde, and Southward, and Eastward, and behold it with thine eyes, for thou shalt not goe ouer this Iorden:
28 Badala yake, mwelekeze Yoshua na kumtia moyo na kumuimarisha, kwa kuwa ataenda zaidi mbele ya watu, na atawasababisha kuirithi nchi ambayo mtaiona.
But charge Ioshua, and incourage him, and bolden him: for hee shall goe before this people, and he shall deuide for inheritance vnto them, the land which thou shalt see.
29 Kwa hiyo tulibaki katika bonde mkabala mwa Beth Peor.
So wee abode in the valley ouer against Beth-Peor.
