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 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 Nígbà náà ni Olúwa sọ fún mi pé,
Yahweh spoke to me, saying,
3 “Ẹ ti rìn yí agbègbè ilẹ̀ olókè yìí pẹ́ tó, nísinsin yìí, ẹ yípadà sí ìhà àríwá.
'You have gone around this mountain long enough; turn northward.
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.
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 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.
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 Ẹ san owó oúnjẹ tí ẹ bá jẹ fún wọn àti omi tí ẹ bá mu.’”
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 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 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 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 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 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.”
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 (Àwọn Emimu ti gbé ibẹ̀ rí, àwọn ènìyàn tó síngbọnlẹ̀ tó sì pọ̀, wọ́n ga bí àwọn Anaki.
(The Emites lived there previously, a people as great, as many, and as tall as the Anakim;
11 Gẹ́gẹ́ bí Anaki àwọn ènìyàn náà pè wọ́n ní ará Refaimu ṣùgbọ́n àwọn ará Moabu pè wọ́n ní Emimu.
these also are considered to be the Rephaim, like the Anakim; but the Moabites call them the 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.)
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 Olúwa sì wí pé, “Ẹ dìde, kí ẹ sì la àfonífojì Seredi kọjá.” Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni a la àfonífojì náà kọjá.
“'Now rise up and go over the brook Zered.' So we went over the brook 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 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 Ọwọ́ Olúwa sì wà lòdì sí wọn nítòótọ́, láti run wọn kúrò nínú ibùdó, títí gbogbo wọn fi run tan.
Moreover, the hand of Yahweh was against that generation in order to destroy them from the people until they were gone.
16 Lẹ́yìn tí ẹni tí ó gbẹ̀yìn pátápátá nínú àwọn jagunjagun àwọn ènìyàn wọ̀nyí ti kú,
So it happened, when all the men fit for fighting were dead and gone from among the people,
17 Olúwa sọ fún mi pé,
that Yahweh spoke to me, saying,
18 “Lónìí ni ẹ̀yin yóò la agbègbè Moabu kọjá ní Ari.
'You are today to pass over Ar, the border of Moab.
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.”
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 (A ka ilẹ̀ yìí sí ilẹ̀ àwọn Refaimu, tí wọ́n ti gbé níbẹ̀ rí, ṣùgbọ́n àwọn ará Ammoni ń pè wọ́n ní ará Samsummimu.
(That also is considered to be a land of the Rephaim. The Rephaim lived there previously—but the Ammonites call 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 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 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.
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 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.)
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 “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.
“'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 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.”
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 Mo rán àwọn ìránṣẹ́ láti aginjù Kedemoti lọ́ sọ́dọ̀ Sihoni ọba Heṣboni pẹ̀lú ọ̀rọ̀ àlàáfíà wí pé,
I sent messengers from the wilderness of Kedemoth to 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.
'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 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:
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 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 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 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, 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 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.”
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 Nígbà tí Sihoni àti gbogbo àwọn jagunjagun rẹ̀ jáde wá láti bá wa jagun ní Jahasi,
Then Sihon came out against us, he and all his people, to fight at Jahaz.
33 Olúwa Ọlọ́run wa fi lé wa lọ́wọ́ bẹ́ẹ̀ ni a ṣẹ́gun rẹ̀ pẹ̀lú àwọn ọmọ rẹ̀ àti gbogbo ológun rẹ̀.
Yahweh our God gave him over to us and we defeated 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.
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 Ṣùgbọ́n a kó gbogbo ohun ọ̀sìn àti ìkógun àwọn ìlú tí a ṣẹ́gun fún ara wa.
Only the cattle we took as spoils for ourselves, along with the spoil of the cities that we had taken.
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 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 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.
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.
