< Teutalonome 3 >

1 “Pea naʻa tau tafoki, ʻo ʻalu hake ʻi he hala ki Pesani: pea naʻe haʻu kituaʻā ʻa Oki ko e tuʻi ʻo Pesani ke tauʻi ʻakitautolu, ʻaia mo hono kakai kotoa pē, ʻi ʻEtilei.
“And so, having turned back, we ascended by the way of Bashan. And Og, the king of Bashan, went forth with his people to meet us in warfare at Edrei.
2 Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Sihova kiate au, ‘ʻOua naʻa ke manavahē kiate ia: he te u tukuange ia, mo hono kakai kotoa pē, mo hono fonua ki ho nima; pea te ke fai kiate ia ʻo hangē ko ia naʻa ke fai kia Sihoni ko e tuʻi ʻoe kau ʻAmoli, ʻaia naʻe nofo ʻi Hesiponi.’
And the Lord said to me: ‘You should not fear him. For he has been delivered into your hand, with all his people as well as his land. And you shall do to him just as you have done to Sihon, the king of the Amorites, who lived at Heshbon.’
3 “Pea naʻe tukuange ʻe Sihova ko hotau ʻOtua ʻa Oki ko e tuʻi ʻo Pesani ki hotau nima, mo hono kakai kotoa pē: pea naʻa tau teʻia ia ke ʻoua naʻa toe ha tokotaha kiate ia.
Therefore, the Lord our God delivered into our hands, now Og, the king of Bashan, and all his people. And we struck them down unto utter annihilation,
4 Pea naʻa tau maʻu ʻene ngaahi kolo ʻi he kuonga ko ia, naʻe ʻikai toe ha kolo ʻe taha naʻa tau taʻelavaʻi ʻiate kinautolu, ko e kolo ʻe onongofulu, ko e potu fonua kotoa pē ʻo ʻAkopa, ko e puleʻanga ʻo Oki ʻi Pesani.
laying waste to all his cities at one time. There was not a village which escaped from us: sixty cities, the entire region of Argob, the kingdom of Og, in Bashan.
5 Ko e ngaahi kolo ni naʻe ʻāʻi ʻaki ʻae ngaahi ʻā māʻolunga, mo e ngaahi matapā, mo e ngaahi songo; kaeʻumaʻā ʻae ngaahi kolo taʻeʻā naʻe lahi ʻaupito.
All the cities were fortified with very high walls, and with gates and bars, in addition to innumerable villages which had no walls.
6 Pea naʻa tau fakaʻauha ʻaupito ʻakinautolu, ʻo hangē ko ia naʻa tau fai kia Sihoni ko e tuʻi ʻo Hesiponi, ʻo fakaʻauha ʻae kakai tangata, mo e fefine, mo e fānau, ʻoe kolo kotoa pē.
And we wiped them out, just as we had done to Sihon, the king of Heshbon, destroying every city, and its men, as well as women and children.
7 Ka ko e fanga manu kotoa pē, mo e vete ʻoe ngaahi kolo, naʻa tau toʻo ko e koloa maʻatautolu.
But the cattle and the spoils of the cities, we plundered.
8 “Pea naʻa tau maʻu ʻi he kuonga ko ia mei he nima ʻoe ongo tuli ʻoe kakai ʻAmoli, ʻae ngaahi fonua ʻoku ʻi he potu mai ʻo Sioatani, mei he vaitafe ʻo ʻAlanoni ʻo aʻu atu ki he moʻunga ko Heamoni;
And at that time, we took the land from the hand of the two kings of the Amorites, who were across the Jordan: from the torrent Arnon as far as Mount Hermon,
9 (ʻAe Heamoni ko ia ʻoku ui ʻe he kau Saitoni ko Silioni; pea ʻoku ui ia ʻe he kakai ʻAmoli ko Sina; )
which the Sidonians call Sirion, and the Amorites call Senir,
10 Ko e ngaahi kolo kotoa pē ʻoe toafa, mo Kiliati kotoa pē, mo Pesani kotoa pē, ʻo aʻu ki Salika mo ʻEtilei, ko e ngaahi kolo ʻoe puleʻanga ʻo Oki ko e tuʻi ʻo Pesani.”
all the cities that are situated in the plain, and the entire land of Gilead and Bashan, all the way to Salecah and Edrei, cities of the kingdom of Og in Bashan.
11 He naʻe toe pe ʻa Oki ko e tuʻi ʻo Pesani ʻi he toenga kakai lalahi; vakai, ko hono mohenga ko e mohenga ukamea; ʻikai ʻoku ʻi Lapate ia ʻoe fānau ʻa ʻAmoni? Ko e hanga ʻe hongofulu ma valu ʻa hono lōloa, pea ko hono māukupu ko e hanga ʻe valu, ʻo fakatatau ki he hanga ʻoe tangata.
For only Og, the king of Bashan, was left behind out of the race of the giants. His bed of iron is on display, (it is in Rabbah, among the sons of Ammon) being nine cubits in length, and four in width, according to the measure of the cubit of a man’s hand.
12 “Pea ko e fonua ni, naʻa tau maʻu ʻi he kuonga ko ia, mei ʻAloeli ʻaia ʻoku ofi ki he vaitafe ko ʻAlanoni, mo hono vaeua mālieʻanga ʻoe moʻunga ko Kiliati, mo hono ngaahi kolo ʻo ia, ne u ʻatu ki he faʻahinga ʻo Lupeni, mo e faʻahinga ʻo Kata.
And we possessed the land, at that time, from Aroer, which is above the bank of the torrent Arnon, as far as the middle of Mount Gilead. And I gave its cities to Ruben and Gad.
13 Pea ko hono toe ʻo Kiliati, mo Pesani kotoa pē, ʻaia ko e puleʻanga ʻo Oki, naʻaku ʻatu ki hono vaeua ʻoe faʻahinga ʻo Manase; ʻae ngaahi fonua kotoa pē ʻo ʻAkopa, mo Pesani kotoa pē, ʻaia naʻe ui ko e fonua ʻoe kakai lalahi.”
Then I delivered the remaining part of Gilead, and all of Bashan, the kingdom of Og, which is the entire region of Argob, to one half of the tribe of Manasseh. And all of Bashan is called the land of the giants.
14 Ko Saili ko e foha ʻo Manase naʻa ne maʻu ʻae fonua kotoa pē ʻo ʻAkopa ʻo aʻu atu ki he potu
Jair, the son of Manasseh, possessed all the region of Argob, as far as the borders of Geshur and Maacath. And he called Bashan by his own name, Havvoth Jair, that is, the villages of Jair, even to the present day.
15 ʻo Kesuli mo Meʻekati; pea naʻa ne ui ia ki hono hingoa ʻoʻona, ko Peasini-hevatisaili ʻo aʻu ki he ʻaho ni. Pea ne u ʻatu ʻa Kiliati kia Mekili.
Likewise, to Machir, I gave Gilead.
16 Pea ne u ʻatu ki he faʻahinga ʻo Lupeni mo e faʻahinga ʻo Kata mei Kiliati ʻo aʻu atu ki he vaitafe ko ʻAlanoni hono vaeua ʻoe vahaʻa moʻunga, mo hono mata fonua ʻo aʻu atu ki he vaitafe ko Sapoki, ʻaia ʻoku ʻi he veʻe fonua ʻoe fānau ʻa ʻAmoni:
And to the tribes of Ruben and Gad, I gave from the land of Gilead as far as the torrent Arnon, one half of the torrent and its confines, even to the torrent Jabbok, which is along the border of the sons of Ammon,
17 Ko e toafa foki, mo Sioatani, mo hono ngataʻanga ʻo ia, mei Kinileti ʻo aʻu atu ki he tahi ʻoe toafa, ʻio ki he tahi kona, ʻi lalo ʻi ʻAsitotipisika ʻi he potu hahake.”
and the plain of the wilderness, as well as the Jordan, and the borders of Chinnereth, all the way to the sea of the desert, which is very salty, to the base of Mount Pisgah toward the east.
18 “Pea ne u fekau kiate kimoutolu ʻi he kuonga ko ia, ʻo pehē, ‘Ko Sihova ko homou ʻOtua kuo ne foaki kiate kimoutolu ʻae fonua ni ke mou maʻu: te mou ʻalu atu mo e mahafu ʻi he ʻao ʻo homou kāinga ko e fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, ʻakimoutolu kotoa pē ʻoku faʻa fai ʻae tau.
And I instructed you at that time, saying: ‘The Lord your God gives to you this land as an inheritance. Having armed yourselves, go before your brothers, the sons of Israel, all you strong men.
19 Ka ko homou ngaahi uaifi, mo hoʻomou fānau siʻi, mo hoʻomou fanga manu, (he ʻoku ou ʻilo ʻoku lahi hoʻomou fanga manu, ) tenau nofo ʻi hoʻomou ngaahi kolo ʻaia kuo u foaki kiate kimoutolu;
Leave behind your wives and little ones, as well as the cattle. For I know that you have many cattle, and they should remain in the cities which I have delivered to you,
20 Ke ʻoua ke foaki ʻe Sihova ʻae mālōlō ki homou kāinga, ʻo hangē ko kimoutolu, pea ke ʻoua ke maʻu ʻekinautolu foki ʻae fonua ko ia kuo foaki ʻe Sihova ko homou ʻOtua kiate kinautolu ʻi he kauvai ʻe taha ʻo Sioatani: pea te mou toki liu mai ʻae tangata kotoa pē ki hono tofiʻa, ʻaia kuo u tuku kiate kimoutolu.’
until the Lord provides rest to your brothers, just as he has provided for you. And they, too, shall possess the land, which he will give to them beyond the Jordan. Then each one shall return to his possession, which I have allotted to you.’
21 “Pea ne u fekauʻi ʻa Siosiua ʻi he kuonga ko ia, ʻo pehē, ‘Kuo mamata ʻe ho mata ki he meʻa kotoa pē kuo fai ʻe Sihova ko homou ʻOtua ki he ongo tuʻi ni: ʻe fai pehē pe ʻe Sihova ki he ngaahi puleʻanga kotoa pē ʻoku ke ʻalu ki ai.
Likewise, I instructed Joshua at that time, saying: ‘Your eyes have seen what the Lord your God has done to these two kings. So also will he do to all the kingdoms through which you shall pass.
22 ‌ʻOua naʻa mou manavahē kiate kinautolu: he koeʻuhi ʻe tau ʻa Sihova ko homou ʻOtua maʻamoutolu.’
You should not fear them. For the Lord your God will fight on your behalf.’
23 “Pea ne u fakakolekole kia Sihova ʻi he kuonga ko ia, ʻo pehē,
And I beseeched the Lord at that time, saying:
24 ‘ʻE Sihova ko e ʻOtua, kuo ke kamata fakahā ki hoʻo tamaioʻeiki ho lahi, mo ho nima mālohi; he ko hai ha ʻOtua ʻi langi pe ʻi māmani, ʻoku faʻa fai ʻo fakatatau ki hoʻo ngaahi ngāue, pea tatau mo ho māfimafi?
‘Lord God, you have begun to reveal your greatness and your very strong hand to your servant. For there is no other god, either in heaven or on earth, who is able to accomplish your works, or to be compared to your strength.
25 ‌ʻOku ou kole kiate koe, tuku au ke u ʻalu atu, ʻo mamata ki he fonua lelei ʻaia ʻoku ʻituʻa Sioatani, ʻae moʻunga matamatalelei ko ia, mo Lepanoni.’
Therefore, I will cross over, and I will view this excellent land beyond the Jordan, and this singular mountain, and Lebanon.’
26 Ka naʻe houhau ʻa Sihova kiate au koeʻuhi ko kimoutolu, pea naʻe ʻikai tokanga kiate au: pea naʻe pehē mai ʻe Sihova kiate au, ‘Ke ke fiemālie pe koe; pea ʻoua naʻa ke toe lea kiate au ʻi he meʻa ni.
And the Lord became angry with me because of you, and he would not heed me. But he said to me: ‘It is enough for you. You shall no longer speak to me at all about this matter.
27 ‌ʻAlu hake koe ki he tumutumu ʻo Pisika, pea hanga atu ho mata ki lulunga, mo tokelau, mo tonga, mo hihifo, pea vakai ʻaki ia ho mata: koeʻuhi ʻe ʻikai te ke laka ki he kauvai ʻe taha ʻo Sioatani.
Ascend to the summit of Pisgah, and look around with your eyes to the west, and to the north, and to the south, and to the east, and behold it. For you shall not cross this Jordan.
28 Ka ke fekauʻi ʻa Siosiua, mo tokoni lelei kiate ia, mo fakamālohi ia: koeʻuhi ʻe muʻomuʻa ia ʻi he kakai ni, pea te ne fakahoko atu ʻakinautolu kenau maʻu ʻae fonua ʻaia te ke mamata ki ai.’
Instruct Joshua, and encourage and strengthen him. For he shall go before this people, and he shall distribute to them the land that you will see.’
29 “Pea naʻa tau nofo ai ʻi he potu māʻulalo ʻoku hangatonu ki Pete Peoli.”
And we remained in the valley, opposite the shrine of Peor.”
