Teutalonome 2

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 to the Sea of Reeds, as Yahweh had spoken to me; we went around Mount Seir for many days.

2 “Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kiate au, ʻo pehē,

Yahweh spoke to me, saying,

3 Kuo mou tākai ʻae moʻunga ni ʻo fuoloa: mou tafoki ki he feituʻu tokelau.

'You have gone around this mountain long enough; turn 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.

Command the people, saying, “You are to pass through the border of your brothers, the descendants of Esau, who live in Seir; they will be afraid of you. Therefore be careful

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.

not to fight with them, for I will not give you any of their land, no, not even enough for the sole of a foot to step on; for I have given Mount Seir to Esau as 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.’

You will purchase food from them for money, so that you may eat; you will also buy water from them for money, so that you 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 Yahweh your God has blessed you in all the work of your hand; he has known your walking through this great wilderness. For these forty years Yahweh your God has been with you, and you have 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,

So we passed by our brothers, the descendants of Esau who live in Seir, away from the Arabah road, from Elath and from Ezion Geber. Then 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.’

Yahweh said to me, 'Do not trouble Moab, and do not fight with them in battle. For I will not give you his land for your own possession, because I have given Ar to the descendants of Lot, for their 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 Emites lived there previously, a people as great, as many, and as tall as the Anakim;

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.

these also are considered to be the Rephaim, like the Anakim; but the Moabites call them the Emim.

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 Horites also lived in Seir previously, but the descendants of Esau succeeded them. They destroyed them from before them and lived in their place, like Israel did to the land of his possession that Yahweh gave to 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 and go over the brook Zered.' So 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.

Now the days from when we came from Kadesh Barnea until we crossed the brook Zered, were thirty-eight years. It was by that time that all that generation of the men fit for fighting were gone from the people, as Yahweh had sworn to them.

15 He ko e moʻoni naʻe mafao ʻae nima ʻo Sihova kiate kinautolu, ke fakaʻauha ʻakinautolu mei he kakai, kaeʻoua kenau ʻosi.

Moreover, the hand of Yahweh was against that generation in order to destroy them from the people until they were gone.

16 Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻi heʻene mole ʻo pekia ʻae kau tangata tau kotoa pē mei he kakai,

So it happened, when all the men fit for fighting were dead and gone from among the people,

17 Naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kiate au, ʻo pehē,

that Yahweh spoke to me, saying,

18 ‘Te ke ʻalu atu he ʻaho ni ʻi he potu ʻo ʻAla, ʻi he mata fonua ʻo Moape:

'You are today to pass over Ar, the border of Moab.

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.’

When you come near opposite the people of Ammon, do not trouble them or fight them; for I will not give you any of the land of the people of Ammon as a possession; because I have given it to the descendants of Lot as 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 is considered to be a land of the Rephaim. The Rephaim lived there previously—but the Ammonites call them Zamzummim—

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 as great, as many, and as tall as the Anakim. But Yahweh destroyed them before the Ammonites, and they succeeded them and lived in their place.

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:

This Yahweh also did for the people of Esau, who live in Seir, when he destroyed the Horites from before them, and the descendants of Esau succeeded them and have lived in their place even until today.

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.)

As for the Avvites who lived in villages as far as Gaza, the Caphtorim, who came from Caphtor, destroyed them and settled in their place.)

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.

“'Now rise up, go on your journey, and pass over the Valley of the Arnon; look, I have given into your hand Sihon the Amorite, king of Heshbon, and his land. Begin to possess it, and fight 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.

Today I will begin to put the fear and terror of you on the peoples that are under the whole sky; they will hear news about you and will tremble and be in anguish because of you.'

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,

I sent messengers from the wilderness of Kedemoth to 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 your land; I will go along the highway; I will turn neither to 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:

You will sell me food for money, so that I may eat; give me water for money, so that I may drink; only let me 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 descendants of Esau who live in Seir, and as the Moabites who live in Ar, did for me; until I pass over the Jordan into the land that Yahweh our God is giving 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 Yahweh your God had hardened his mind and made his heart obstinate, that he might defeat him by your might, which he has now done today.

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.’

Yahweh said to me, 'Look, I have begun to deliver up Sihon and his land before you; begin to possess it, in order that you may 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.

Yahweh our God gave him over to us and we defeated 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:

We took all his cities at that time and completely destroyed every city—men and the women and the little ones; we left no survivor.

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 as spoils for ourselves, along with the spoil of the cities that we had taken.

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 on the edge of the Valley of the Arnon, and from the city that is in the valley, all the way to Gilead, there was not a city too high for us. Yahweh our God gave them into our hands.

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.

It was only to the land of the descendants of Ammon that you did not go, as well as all the side of the Jabbok River, and the cities of the hill country—wherever Yahweh our God had forbidden us to go.
