< Deuteronomy 2 >

1 Nígbà náà ni a yípadà, tí a sì mú ọ̀nà wa pọ̀n lọ sí aginjù, a gba ọ̀nà Òkun Pupa, bí Olúwa ti darí mi. Ìgbà pípẹ́ ni a fi ń rìn kiri yíká agbègbè àwọn ìlú olókè Seiri.
Then turned we, and set forward towards the desert by way of the Red Sea, as Yahweh, spake unto me; and we encompassed Mount Seir many days.
2 Nígbà náà ni Olúwa sọ fún mi pé,
And Yahweh spake unto me, saying:
3 “Ẹ ti rìn yí agbègbè ilẹ̀ olókè yìí pẹ́ tó, nísinsin yìí, ẹ yípadà sí ìhà àríwá.
Long enough, have ye encompassed this mountain, —turn yourselves north, wards.
4 Fún àwọn ènìyàn náà ní àwọn òfin wọ̀nyí: ‘Ẹ ti fẹ́ la ilẹ̀ àwọn arákùnrin yín kọjá, àwọn ọmọ Esau; àwọn ará Edomu tí ń gbé ní Seiri. Ẹ̀rù yín yóò bà wọ́n, ṣùgbọ́n ẹ ṣọ́ra gidigidi.
And, the people, command thou saying, Ye are about to pass through the boundary of your brethren the sons of Esau, who are dwelling in Seir, —and should they be afraid of you, take ye good heed to yourselves:
5 Ẹ má ṣe wá wọn níjà torí pé èmi kò ní fún un yín ní èyíkéyìí nínú ilẹ̀ wọn. Bí ó ti wù kí ó kéré mọ èmi kò ní fún un yín. Mo ti fi ilẹ̀ òkè Seiri fún Esau gẹ́gẹ́ bí ìní rẹ̀.
do not engage in strife with them, for I will not give you of their land, so much as place for the tread of a foot-sole, —for as a possession to Esau, have I given Mount Seir.
6 Ẹ san owó oúnjẹ tí ẹ bá jẹ fún wọn àti omi tí ẹ bá mu.’”
Food, shall ye buy of them with silver so shall ye eat, —yea even water, shall ye buy of them with silver so shall ye drink.
7 Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín ti bùkún un yín nínú gbogbo iṣẹ́ ọwọ́ yín. Ó ti mójútó ìrìnàjò yín nínú aginjù ńlá yìí. Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín wà pẹ̀lú u yín ní ogójì ọdún wọ̀nyí, dé bi pé ẹ̀yin kò ṣaláìní ohunkóhun.
For Yahweh thy God, hath blessed thee in all the work of thy hand, he hath considered thy traversing of this great desert, —these forty years, hath Yahweh thy God been with thee, thou hast lacked, nothing.
8 Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni a kọjá ọ̀dọ̀ àwọn arákùnrin wa, àwọn ọmọ Esau tí ń gbé ní Seiri. A yà kúrò ní ọ̀nà Arabah èyí tí ó wá láti Elati àti Esioni-Geberi, a sì rìn gba ọ̀nà aginjù Moabu.
So we passed on, a way from our brethren the sons of Esau who dwell in Seir, from the way of the waste plain, from Elath, and from Ezion-geber, —and we turned and passed on by way of the desert of Moab.
9 Olúwa sì sọ fún mi pé, “Ẹ má ṣe dẹ́rùba àwọn ará Moabu bẹ́ẹ̀ ni kí ẹ má ṣe bá wọn jagun torí pé n kò ní fi èyíkéyìí nínú ilẹ̀ wọn fún un yín. Mo ti fi Ari fún àwọn ọmọ Lọti bí i ìní.”
And Yahweh said unto me—Do not lay siege to Moab, nor engage in strife with them in battle, —for I will not give unto thee of this land as a possession, for unto the sons of Lot, have I given Ar, as a possession.
10 (Àwọn Emimu ti gbé ibẹ̀ rí, àwọn ènìyàn tó síngbọnlẹ̀ tó sì pọ̀, wọ́n ga bí àwọn Anaki.
the Emim, formerly dwelt therein, —a people great and many and tall, like the Anakim.
11 Gẹ́gẹ́ bí Anaki àwọn ènìyàn náà pè wọ́n ní ará Refaimu ṣùgbọ́n àwọn ará Moabu pè wọ́n ní Emimu.
Giants, used, they also, to be accounted like the Anakim, —but the Moabites, called them Emim.
12 Àwọn ará Hori gbé ní Seiri, kí àwọn ọmọ Esau tó lé wọn kúrò níwájú wọn. Wọ́n sì gba ilẹ̀ wọn, wọ́n tẹ̀dó sí ààyè wọn gẹ́gẹ́ bí àwọn ọmọ Israẹli tí ṣe ní ilẹ̀ tí Olúwa yóò fún wọn ní ìní wọn.)
And in Seir, dwelt the Horim aforetime, but, the sons of Esau, dispossessed them, and destroyed them from before them, and dwelt in their stead, —as did Israel unto the land of his own possession, which Yahweh had given unto them.
13 Olúwa sì wí pé, “Ẹ dìde, kí ẹ sì la àfonífojì Seredi kọjá.” Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni a la àfonífojì náà kọjá.
Now, arise, and pass ye over the ravine of Zered. So we passed over the ravine of Zered.
14 Ó gbà wá ní ọdún méjìdínlógójì kí ó tó di wí pé a la àfonífojì Seredi kọjá láti ìgbà tí a ti kúrò ní Kadeṣi-Barnea. Nígbà náà gbogbo ìran àwọn tí ó jẹ́ jagunjagun láàrín àwọn ènìyàn náà ti ṣègbé kúrò láàrín àwọn ènìyàn náà ní àsìkò yìí bí Olúwa ti búra fún wọn.
Now, the days in which we journeyed from Kadesh-barnea, as far as where we crossed the ravine of Zered, were thirty-eight years, —until all the generation of the men of war were consumed out of the midst of the camp, as Yahweh had sworn unto them.
15 Ọwọ́ Olúwa sì wà lòdì sí wọn nítòótọ́, láti run wọn kúrò nínú ibùdó, títí gbogbo wọn fi run tan.
Yea, even the hand of Yahweh was against them, to destroy them out of the midst of the camp, —until they were consumed.
16 Lẹ́yìn tí ẹni tí ó gbẹ̀yìn pátápátá nínú àwọn jagunjagun àwọn ènìyàn wọ̀nyí ti kú,
So it came to pass when all the men of war were consumed by dying, out of the midst of the people,
17 Olúwa sọ fún mi pé,
then spake Yahweh unto me, saying:
18 “Lónìí ni ẹ̀yin yóò la agbègbè Moabu kọjá ní Ari.
Thou, art passing, to-day, the boundary of Moab even Ar;
19 Bí ẹ bá dé ọ̀dọ̀ àwọn ará Ammoni, ẹ má ṣe halẹ̀ mọ́ wọn, ẹ kò sì gbọdọ̀ bá wọn jagun, torí pé èmi kì yóò fi àwọn ilẹ̀ tí ó jẹ́ ti àwọn ará Ammoni fún un yín ní ìní. Mo ti fi fún àwọn ọmọ Lọti ní ìní.”
so wilt thou draw near over against the sons of Ammon, do not thou besiege them neither engage in strife with them, —for I will not give of the land of the sons of Ammon unto thee as a possession, for unto the sons of Lot, have I given it as a possession.
20 (A ka ilẹ̀ yìí sí ilẹ̀ àwọn Refaimu, tí wọ́n ti gbé níbẹ̀ rí, ṣùgbọ́n àwọn ará Ammoni ń pè wọ́n ní ará Samsummimu.
A land of giants, used, that also, to be accounted, —giants, dwelt therein aforetime, but the Ammonites, called them Zamzummim:
21 Wọ́n jẹ́ àwọn ènìyàn tó lágbára, wọ́n sì pọ̀, wọ́n sì ga gogoro bí àwọn ará Anaki. Olúwa run wọn kúrò níwájú àwọn ará Ammoni, tí wọ́n lé wọn jáde tí wọ́n sì gba ilẹ̀ wọn.
a people great and many and tall, like the Anakim, —but Yahweh destroyed them from before them, and they took their possessions, and dwelt in their stead:
22 Bákan náà ni Olúwa ṣe fún àwọn ọmọ Esau, tí wọ́n ń gbé ní Seiri, nígbà tí ó pa àwọn ará Hori run níwájú wọn. Wọ́n lé wọn jáde wọ́n sì ń gbé ní ilẹ̀ wọn títí di òní.
as he did for the sons of Esau, who are dwelling in Seir, —when he destroyed the Horim from before them, and they took their possessions and have dwelt in their stead, even unto this day.
23 Nípa ti àwọn ará Affimu, tí wọ́n ń gbé ní àwọn ìlú kéékèèké dé Gasa, àwọn ará Kaftorimu, tí wọ́n jáde láti Krete wá ni ó pa wọ́n run, wọ́n sì gba ilẹ̀ wọn.)
The Avvim also, who dwelt in settlements as far as Gaza, Caphtorim, who were coming forth out of Caphtor, destroyed them, and dwelt in their stead.
24 “Ẹ gbáradì, kí ẹ sì kọjá odò Arnoni. Kíyèsi, Mo ti fi Sihoni ará Amori, ọba Heṣboni àti ilẹ̀ rẹ̀ lé ọ lọ́wọ́. Ẹ bá ilẹ̀ náà jagun kí ẹ sì gbà á.
Arise ye, set forward and cross over the ravine of Arnon, see! I have given into thy hand—Sihon king of Heshbon, the Amorite and his land, begin—take possession, —and engage in strife with him in battle.
25 Èmi bẹ̀rẹ̀ sí ní fi ìbẹ̀rù àti ìfòyà yín sára gbogbo orílẹ̀-èdè lábẹ́ ọ̀run láti òní lọ. Wọn yóò gbọ́ ìròyìn in yín, wọn yóò sì wárìrì, wọn yóò sì wà nínú ìdààmú ọkàn torí i tiyín.”
This day, will I begin to extend the dread of thee and the fear of thee over the face of the peoples under all the heavens, —who will hear the report of thee, then will they quake and writhe in pain because of thee.
26 Mo rán àwọn ìránṣẹ́ láti aginjù Kedemoti lọ́ sọ́dọ̀ Sihoni ọba Heṣboni pẹ̀lú ọ̀rọ̀ àlàáfíà wí pé,
So I sent messengers out of the desert of Kademoth, unto Sihon, king of Heshbon, —with words of peace saying:
27 “Jẹ́ kí a la ilẹ̀ ẹ yín kọjá. Àwa yóò gba ti òpópónà nìkan. A kò ní yà sọ́tùn tàbí sósì.
I would pass along through thy land, by the road, by the road, will I go, —I will not turn aside, to the right hand or to the left:
28 Ẹ ta oúnjẹ tí a ó jẹ àti omi tí a ó mu fún wa ní iye owó wọn. Kìkì kí ẹ sá à jẹ́ kí a rìn kọjá:
Food for silver, shalt thou sell me so will I eat, and water for silver, shalt thou let me have, so will I drink, —only I would pass through on my feet; —
29 gẹ́gẹ́ bí àwọn ọmọ Esau tí ó ń gbé ní Seiri àti àwọn ará Moabu tí ó ń gbé ní Ari, ti gbà wá láààyè títí a fi la Jordani já dé ilẹ̀ tí Olúwa Ọlọ́run wa yóò fún wa.”
as the sons of Esau, who are dwelling in Seir, did to me, and the Moabites who are dwelling in Ar, —until that I pass over the Jordan, into the land which, Yahweh our God, is giving unto us.
30 Ṣùgbọ́n Sihoni ọba Heṣboni kò gbà fún wa láti kọjá. Torí pé Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín ti mú ọkàn rẹ̀ yigbì, àyà rẹ̀ sì kún fún agídí kí ó ba à le fi lé e yín lọ́wọ́, bí ó ti ṣe báyìí.
But Sihon king of Heshbon, was not willing, to let us pass along through it, —for Yahweh thy God had suffered him to make his spirit harsh and his heart bold, that he might give him into thy hand—(as [appeareth] this day).
31 Olúwa sì bá mi sọ̀rọ̀ pé, “Kíyèsi i, mo ti bẹ̀rẹ̀ sí ní fi Sihoni àti ilẹ̀ rẹ̀ lé e yín lọ́wọ́. Báyìí, ẹ máa ṣẹ́gun rẹ̀, kí ẹ sì gba ilẹ̀ rẹ̀.”
Then said Yahweh unto me, See! I have begun to deliver up before thee Sihon and his land, —begin take possession, that thou mayest make a possession of his land.
32 Nígbà tí Sihoni àti gbogbo àwọn jagunjagun rẹ̀ jáde wá láti bá wa jagun ní Jahasi,
So then Sihon came out to meet us he, and all his people, to give battle at Jahaz.
33 Olúwa Ọlọ́run wa fi lé wa lọ́wọ́ bẹ́ẹ̀ ni a ṣẹ́gun rẹ̀ pẹ̀lú àwọn ọmọ rẹ̀ àti gbogbo ológun rẹ̀.
And Yahweh our God delivered him up before us, —and we smote him and his sons, and all his people
34 Nígbà náà, gbogbo ìlú wọn ni a kó tí a sì pa wọ́n run pátápátá tọkùnrin, tobìnrin àti gbogbo ọmọ wọn. A kò sì dá ẹnikẹ́ni sí.
And we captured all his cities, at that time, and devoted to destruction every city of males, with the women and the little ones, —we left not remaining a survivor:
35 Ṣùgbọ́n a kó gbogbo ohun ọ̀sìn àti ìkógun àwọn ìlú tí a ṣẹ́gun fún ara wa.
only the cattle, made we our prey, —and the spoil of the cities which we captured.
36 Láti Aroeri, létí odò Arnoni àti láti àwọn ìlú tí ó wà lẹ́bàá odò náà títí ó fi dé Gileadi, kò sí ìlú tí ó lágbára jù fún wa, Olúwa Ọlọ́run wa fi gbogbo wọn fún wa.
From Aroer, which is on the edge of the ravine of Arnon and the city that is in the ravine even as far as Gilead, there was not a fortress that proved too high for us, —the whole, did Yahweh our God deliver up before us.
37 Ní ìbámu pẹ̀lú òfin Olúwa Ọlọ́run wa, ẹ kò súnmọ́ ọ̀kan nínú ilẹ̀ àwọn ará Ammoni, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni ẹ kò dé ilẹ̀ tí ó lọ sí Jabbok, tàbí ilẹ̀ tí ó yí àwọn ìlú òkè e nì ká.
Only unto the land of the sons of Ammon, didst thou not come near, —all the side of the Jabbok ravine, nor the cities of the hill country, nor any which Yahweh our God had forbidden to us.
