1 Pea naʻa tau tafoki, ʻo hiki hotau fononga ki he toafa ʻi he hala ʻoe Tahi Kulokula, ʻo hangē ko e folofola ʻa Sihova kiate au: pea naʻa tau tākai ʻae moʻunga ko Seia ʻo ʻaho lahi.
Then we turned, and took our journey into the wilderness by the way of the Red sea, as YHWH spake unto me: and we compassed mount Seir many days.
2 “Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kiate au, ʻo pehē,
And YHWH spake unto me, saying,
3 Kuo mou tākai ʻae moʻunga ni ʻo fuoloa: mou tafoki ki he feituʻu tokelau.
Ye have compassed this mountain long enough: turn you northward.
4 Pea ke fekau ki he kakai, ʻo pehē, ‘Te mou ʻalu ʻi he potu fonua ʻo homou kāinga ko e fānau ʻa ʻIsoa, ʻaia ʻoku nofo ʻi Seia; pea ʻe manavahē ʻakinautolu kiate kimoutolu: ko ia, mou vakai lelei kiate kimoutolu.
And command thou the people, saying, Ye are to pass through the coast of your brethren the children of Esau, which dwell in Seir; and they shall be afraid of you: take ye good heed unto yourselves therefore:
5 ‌ʻOua naʻa mou fai ha meʻa kiate kinautolu; koeʻuhi naʻa mo hano laulahi ʻoe ʻaofi vaʻe ʻe taha, ʻe ʻikai te u foaki kiate kimoutolu ha konga siʻi ʻo honau fonua: koeʻuhi kuo u foaki ʻae moʻunga ko Seia kia ʻIsoa ko e tofiʻa.
Meddle not with them; for I will not give you of their land, no, not so much as a foot breadth; because I have given mount Seir unto Esau for a possession.
6 Te mou fakatau meʻakai meiate kinautolu ʻaki ʻae paʻanga, ke mou kai; pea te mou fakatau vai ʻiate kinautolu ʻaki ʻae paʻanga, ke mou inu.’
Ye shall buy meat of them for money, that ye may eat; and ye shall also buy water of them for money, that ye may drink.
7 He ko Sihova ko ho ʻOtua kuo ne tāpuakiʻi koe ʻi he ngaahi ngāue kotoa pē ʻa ho nima: ʻoku ne ʻafioʻi ho ʻeveʻeva ʻi he toafa lahi ni: ʻi he taʻu ʻe fāngofulu ni naʻe ʻiate koe ʻa Sihova ko ho ʻOtua; naʻe ʻikai te ke masiva ʻi ha meʻa ʻe taha.
For YHWH thy Elohim hath blessed thee in all the works of thy hand: he knoweth thy walking through this great wilderness: these forty years YHWH thy Elohim hath been with thee; thou hast lacked nothing.
8 Pea ʻi heʻetau ʻalu ange mei hotau kāinga ko e fānau ʻa ʻIsoa, ʻaia naʻe nofo ʻi Seia, ʻi he hala ʻoe toafa mei ʻElati, pea mei ʻEsioni-kepa, naʻa tau tafoki ʻo ʻalu ofi ki he hala ʻoe toafa ʻo Moape,
And when we passed by from our brethren the children of Esau, which dwelt in Seir, through the way of the plain from Elath, and from Eziongaber, we turned and passed by the way of the wilderness of Moab.
9 Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kiate au, ‘ʻOua naʻa fakamamahi ki he kau Moape, pea ʻoua naʻa tauʻi ʻakinautolu koeʻuhi ʻe ʻikai te u foaki kiate koe honau fonua ko e tofiʻa; he kuo u foaki ʻa ʻAla ki he fānau ʻa Lote ko honau tofiʻa.’
And YHWH said unto me, Distress not the Moabites, neither contend with them in battle: for I will not give thee of their land for a possession; because I have given Ar unto the children of Lot for a possession.
10 Naʻe nofo ʻi ai ʻi muʻa ʻae kau Imime, ko e kakai lalahi, mo tokolahi mo lōloa, ʻo hangē ko e kau ʻAnaki;
The Emims dwelt therein in times past, a people great, and many, and tall, as the Anakims;
11 ‌ʻAkinautolu naʻe ui foki ko e kau sino lalahi, hangē ko e kau ʻAnaki ka naʻe ui ʻakinautolu ʻe he kau Moape ko e kau Imime.
Which also were accounted giants, as the Anakims; but the Moabites called them Emims.
12 Naʻe nofo ʻae kakai Hoa ʻi Seia foki ʻi muʻa; ka naʻe fetongi ʻakinautolu ʻe he fānau ʻa ʻIsoa, hili ʻenau fakaʻauha ʻakinautolu mei honau ʻao, pea nau nofo ʻi honau fonua; ʻo hangē ko ia kuo fai ʻe ʻIsileli ki he fonua ʻo hono tofiʻa, ʻaia naʻe foaki ʻe Sihova kiate kinautolu.
The Horims also dwelt in Seir beforetime; but the children of Esau succeeded them, when they had destroyed them from before them, and dwelt in their stead; as Israel did unto the land of his possession, which YHWH gave unto them.
13 Pea ne u pehē, Mou tuʻu hake, ʻo ʻalu ki he kauvai ʻe taha ʻo Seleti. Pea naʻa tau ʻalu ki he kauvai ʻe taha ʻo Seleti:
Now rise up, said I, and get you over the brook Zered. And we went over the brook Zered.
14 Pea ko hono fuoloa ʻo ʻetau haʻu mei Ketesi-pania, ʻo aʻu ki heʻetau hoko ki he kauvai ʻo Seleti, ko e taʻu ʻe tolungofulu ma valu: ke ʻoua ke ʻosiʻosingamālie mei he fakataha ʻae toʻutangata kotoa pē ʻoe kau tangata tau, ʻo hangē ko e fuakava ʻa Sihova kiate kinautolu.
And the space in which we came from Kadeshbarnea, until we were come over the brook Zered, was thirty and eight years; until all the generation of the men of war were wasted out from among the host, as YHWH sware unto them.
15 He ko e moʻoni naʻe mafao ʻae nima ʻo Sihova kiate kinautolu, ke fakaʻauha ʻakinautolu mei he kakai, kaeʻoua kenau ʻosi.
For indeed the hand of YHWH was against them, to destroy them from among the host, until they were consumed.
16 Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻi heʻene mole ʻo pekia ʻae kau tangata tau kotoa pē mei he kakai,
So it came to pass, when all the men of war were consumed and dead from among the people,
17 Naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kiate au, ʻo pehē,
That YHWH spake unto me, saying,
18 ‘Te ke ʻalu atu he ʻaho ni ʻi he potu ʻo ʻAla, ʻi he mata fonua ʻo Moape:
Thou art to pass over through Ar, the coast of Moab, this day:
19 Pea ʻoka ke ka hoko ʻo ofi ʻo hangatonu ki he fānau ʻa ʻAmoni, ʻoua naʻa fakamamahiʻi ʻakinautolu, pea ʻoua naʻa fai ha meʻa kiate kinautolu: koeʻuhi ʻe ʻikai te u foaki kiate koe ha tofiʻa ʻi he fonua ʻoe fānau ʻa ʻAmoni; he kuo tuku ia ki he fānau ʻa Lote ko honau tofiʻa.’
And when thou comest nigh over against the children of Ammon, distress them not, nor meddle with them: for I will not give thee of the land of the children of Ammon any possession; because I have given it unto the children of Lot for a possession.
20 (Naʻe ui ia foki ko e fonua ʻoe ngaahi kakai lalahi naʻe nofo ai ʻi muʻa ʻae kakai lalahi pea naʻe ui ʻakinautolu ʻe he kau ʻAmoni, ko e kau Samisunuma;
(That also was accounted a land of giants: giants dwelt therein in old time; and the Ammonites call them Zamzummims;
21 Ko e kakai lalahi, mo tokolahi, mo lōloa, ʻo hangē ko e kau ʻAnaki: ka naʻe fakaʻauha ʻakinautolu ʻe Sihova ʻi honau ʻao; pea naʻa nau tongia ʻakinautolu ʻo nofo ʻi honau fonua:
A people great, and many, and tall, as the Anakims; but YHWH destroyed them before them; and they succeeded them, and dwelt in their stead:
22 Hangē ko ia naʻa ne fai ki he fānau ʻa ʻIsoa, ʻaia naʻe nofo ʻi Seia, ʻi heʻene fakaʻauha ʻae kakai Hoa mei honau ʻao; pea naʻa nau tongia ʻakinautolu, pea nofo ʻi honau fonua ʻo aʻu ki he ʻaho ni:
As he did to the children of Esau, which dwelt in Seir, when he destroyed the Horims from before them; and they succeeded them, and dwelt in their stead even unto this day:
23 Pea ko e kakai ʻAvi naʻe nofo ʻi Heselimi, ʻo aʻu ki Kesa, ko e kau Kafitoli ni, ʻaia naʻe haʻu mei Kafitoli, naʻe fakaʻauha ʻakinautolu, ʻo nofo ʻi honau fonua.)
And the Avims which dwelt in Hazerim, even unto Azzah, the Caphtorims, which came forth out of Caphtor, destroyed them, and dwelt in their stead.)
24 “Mou tuʻu hake, ʻo fai homou fononga, pea aʻa ʻi he vaitafe ko ʻAlanoni: vakai, kuo u tuku ki ho nima ʻa Sihoni ko e ʻAmoli, ko e tuʻi ʻo Hesiponi, mo hono fonua: mou fai ʻae kamata maʻu leva ia, pea ketau mo ia.
Rise ye up, take your journey, and pass over the river Arnon: behold, I have given into thine hand Sihon the Amorite, king of Heshbon, and his land: begin to possess it, and contend with him in battle.
25 Te u kamata fai he ʻaho ni ke ʻai ʻae manavahē kiate koe ki he ngaahi puleʻanga kotoa pē ʻoku ʻi he lalo langi kotoa pē, ʻaia tenau ongoʻi ho ongoongo, pea tetetete, pea tenau feinga ʻi he mamahi koeʻuhi ko koe.
This day will I begin to put the dread of thee and the fear of thee upon the nations that are under the whole heaven, who shall hear report of thee, and shall tremble, and be in anguish because of thee.
26 “Pea ne u fekau ʻae kau tangata fekau mei he toafa ʻo Ketimote, kia Sihoni ko e tuʻi ʻo Hesiponi mo e ngaahi lea ʻoe melino, ʻo pehē,
And I sent messengers out of the wilderness of Kedemoth unto Sihon king of Heshbon with words of peace, saying,
27 ‘Tuku ke u ʻalu atu ʻi ho fonua: Te u ʻalu atu pe ʻi he hala motuʻa, ʻe ʻikai te u tafoki ki he nima toʻomataʻu pe ki he toʻohema.
Let me pass through thy land: I will go along by the high way, I will neither turn unto the right hand nor to the left.
28 Pea te ke fakatau ʻae meʻakai kiate au ʻaki ʻae paʻanga, koeʻuhi ke u kai; pea tuku mai ha vai ʻi heʻeku paʻanga ke u inu: kae kehe ke u ʻalu ʻi ho fonua ʻi hoku vaʻe pe:
Thou shalt sell me meat for money, that I may eat; and give me water for money, that I may drink: only I will pass through on my feet;
29 (Hangē ko ia naʻe fai kiate au ʻe he fānau ʻa ʻIsoa naʻe nofo ʻi Seia, mo e kau Moape naʻe nofo ʻi ʻAla; ) ke ʻoua ke u aʻa atu ʻi Sioatani ki he fonua ʻoku foaki ʻe Sihova ko homau ʻOtua kiate kimautolu.’
(As the children of Esau which dwell in Seir, and the Moabites which dwell in Ar, did unto me; ) until I shall pass over Jordan into the land which YHWH our Elohim giveth us.
30 “Ka naʻe ʻikai tuku ʻakitautolu ʻe Sihoni ko e tuʻi ʻo Hesiponi, ketau ʻalu ofi kiate ia; he naʻe fakafefeka hono laumālie ʻe Sihova ko ho ʻOtua, ʻo ngaohi hono loto ke talangataʻa, koeʻuhi ke ne tukuange ia ki ho nima, ʻo hangē ko ia kuo hā he ʻaho ni.
But Sihon king of Heshbon would not let us pass by him: for YHWH thy Elohim hardened his spirit, and made his heart obstinate, that he might deliver him into thy hand, as appeareth this day.
31 “Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Sihova kiate au, ‘Vakai, kuo u kamata tuku ʻa Sihoni mo hono fonua ʻi ho ʻao: ke ke kamata maʻu, koeʻuhi ke ke hoko ʻo maʻu hono fonua.’
And YHWH said unto me, Behold, I have begun to give Sihon and his land before thee: begin to possess, that thou mayest inherit his land.
32 Pea naʻe toki haʻu kituʻa ʻa Sihoni ʻo tuʻu kiate kitautolu, ʻaia mo hono kakai kotoa pē, ketau ʻi Sehasi.
Then Sihon came out against us, he and all his people, to fight at Jahaz.
33 Pea naʻe tuku mai ia ʻi hotau ʻao ʻe Sihova, ko hotau ʻOtua; pea naʻa tau taaʻi ia, mo hono ngaahi foha, mo ʻene kakai kotoa pē.
And YHWH our Elohim delivered him before us; and we smote him, and his sons, and all his people.
34 Pea naʻa tau maʻu ʻene ngaahi kolo ʻi he kuonga ko ia, pea naʻa tau fakaʻauha ʻae kau tangata kotoa pē, mo e kau fefine, pea mo e fānau iiki ʻi he kolo kotoa pē; naʻe ʻikai te tau tuku ha niʻihi ke toe:
And we took all his cities at that time, and utterly destroyed the men, and the women, and the little ones, of every city, we left none to remain:
35 Ka ko e ngaahi fanga manu naʻa tau maʻu ko e koloa maʻatautolu, mo e vete ʻoe ngaahi kolo ʻaia naʻa tau maʻu.
Only the cattle we took for a prey unto ourselves, and the spoil of the cities which we took.
36 Mei ʻAloeli ʻaia ʻoku ʻi he veʻe vaitafe ʻo ʻAlanoni, pea mei he kolo ʻaia ʻoku ofi ki he vaitafe, ʻo aʻu ki Kiliati, naʻe ʻikai ha kolo ʻe taha naʻe mālohi kiate kitautolu: ko Sihova ko hotau ʻOtua naʻa ne tuku mai kotoa pē kiate kitautolu:
From Aroer, which is by the brink of the river of Arnon, and from the city that is by the river, even unto Gilead, there was not one city too strong for us: YHWH our Elohim delivered all unto us:
37 Ka naʻe ʻikai te ke hoko ki he fonua ʻoe fānau ʻa ʻAmoni, pe ki ha potu ʻe taha ʻoe vaitafe ko Sakopi, pe ki he ngaahi kolo ʻi he ngaahi moʻunga, pe ki ha potu ʻe taha naʻe taʻofi ʻakitautolu mei ai ʻe Sihova ko hotau ʻOtua.
Only unto the land of the children of Ammon thou camest not, nor unto any place of the river Jabbok, nor unto the cities in the mountains, nor unto whatsoever YHWH our Elohim forbad us.
