Deuteronomy 2
1 kut forla ac folokla nu yen mwesis, ke inkanek nu inalok ke Meoa Srusra, oana LEUM GOD El sapkin, ac kut sisla pacl loeloes in foroht forma infulan eol lun Edom.
And we turned, and took our journey into the wilderness by the way of the Red sea, as Jehovah had said unto me; and we went round mount Seir many days.
2 Na LEUM GOD El fahk nu sik mu
And Jehovah spoke to me, saying,
3 fal tari pacl kut forfor infulan eol ingo, ac kut enenu in som nu epang.
Ye have gone round this mountain long enough: turn you northward.
4 El fahk nu sik ngan sot nu suwos kas inge: ‘Kowos akuranna fahsr sasla infulan eol Edom, facl sin fwilin tulik natul Esau, su mwet liwos. Elos ac fah sangeng suwos,
And command the people, saying, Ye are to pass through the border of your brethren the children of Esau, who dwell in Seir; and they will be afraid of you; and ye shall be very guarded:
5 tusruktu nik kowos aklokoalokyalos, mweyen nga fah tia sot kutu srisrik acn lalos nu suwos, finne square foot se. Nga sang tari acn Edom tuh in ma lun mwet ke fwilin tulik natul Esau.
attack them not; for I will not give you of their land, no, not so much as a foot-breadth; for I have given mount Seir as a possession unto Esau.
6 Kowos ku in moul mongo nowos ac kof nimowos selos.’
Ye shall buy of them food for money, that ye may eat; and water shall ye also buy of them for money, that ye may drink;
7 “Esam lah LEUM GOD lowos El akinsewowoye kowos in ma nukewa kowos oru. El karingin kowos in forfor lowos yen mwesis lulap se inge. El wi kowos ke yac angngaul inge, ac sot ma nukewa kowos enenu.
for Jehovah thy God hath blessed thee in all the work of thy hand. He hath known thy walking through this great wilderness: these forty years hath Jehovah thy God been with thee; thou hast lacked nothing.
8 “Na kut mukuiyak ac som liki inkanek ma som liki siti Elath ac Eziongeber nu ke Meoa Misa, na kut kuhfla nu kuta epang in som nu Moab.
And we passed by from our brethren the children of Esau, who dwelt in Seir, by the plain, by Elath, and by Ezion-geber, and we turned and passed by the way of the wilderness of Moab.
9 LEUM GOD El fahk nu sik, ‘Nimet aklokoalokye mwet Moab, su fwilin tulik natul Lot, ac nimet mweun nu selos. Nga sang tari siti Ar nu selos, ac nga ac tia sot nu suwos kutena acn selos.’” (
And Jehovah said to me, Distress not the Moabites, neither engage with them in battle; for I will not give thee of their land a possession; for unto the children of Lot have I given Ar as a possession.
10 Sie un mwet na yohk pisa pangpang mwet Emim muta in acn Ar meet. Elos mwet na loeska oana mwet Anak, sie pacna un mwet yohk pisa.
(The Emim dwelt therein in times past, a people great, and many, and tall as the Anakim.
11 Kutu mwet uh pangon mwet Emim ac mwet Anak ke e se inge: Rephaim. Tusruktu mwet Moab uh pangnolos Emim.
They also are reckoned as giants like the Anakim; but the Moabites call them Emim.
12 Mwet Hor elos tuh muta Edom in pacl meet, tusruktu fwilin tulik natul Esau luselosla, kunausla mutunfacl selos, ac oakwuki we, oapana ma mwet Israel elos tuh oru tok ke elos lusla mwet lokoalok lalos liki acn ma LEUM GOD El tuh sang selos.)
And in Seir dwelt the Horites in times past; and the children of Esau dispossessed them, and destroyed them from before them, and dwelt in their stead; as Israel did to the land of their possession, which Jehovah gave to them.)
13 “Na kut alukeot Infacl Zered, oana LEUM GOD El sapkin nu sesr.
Now rise up, and pass over the torrent Zered. And we passed over the torrent Zered.
14 Ma inge sikyak yac tolngoul oalkosr tukun kut tuku liki acn Kadesh Barnea. Mwet mweun nukewa in fwil sac misa nufon, oana ma LEUM GOD El tuh fahk.
Now the days in which we came from Kadesh-barnea, until we had come over the torrent Zered, were thirty-eight years; until the whole generation of the men of war was consumed from the midst of the camp, as Jehovah had sworn unto them.
15 LEUM GOD El nuna lainulos na nwe ke El kunauselosla nukewa.
Moreover the hand of Jehovah was against them to destroy them from the midst of the camp, until they were consumed.
16 “Tukun elos nukewa misa,
And it came to pass when all the men of war were consumed, having died off from among the people,
17 LEUM GOD El fahk nu sesr,
that Jehovah spoke to me, saying,
18 ‘Misenge kowos ac fahsr sasla acn lun mwet Moab ke inkanek nu Ar.
Thou art to pass this day over the border of Moab, [which is] Ar,
19 Na kowos ac fah apkuran nu ke facl sin mwet Ammon, su fwilin tulik natul Lot. Nikmet aklokoalokyalos ku mweun nu selos, mweyen nga ac tia sot kutena acn lowos ke acn ma nga sang tari nu selos.’” (
and come near over against the children of Ammon; thou shalt not distress them nor attack them; for I will not give thee of the land of the children of Ammon a possession; for unto the children of Lot have I given it as a possession.
20 Facl se inge oayapa eteyuk mu facl sin mwet Rephaim, inen mwet ma tuh muta we meet, a mwet Ammon uh pangnolos Zamzummim.
(That also is reckoned a land of giants: giants dwelt therein in time past, and the Ammonites call them Zamzummim;
21 Elos arulana loes, oana mwet Anak. Oayapa elos arulana pus, ac sie un mwet na fokoko. Tusruktu LEUM GOD El kunauselosla, tuh mwet Ammon in eisla acn selos ac oakwuki fac.
a people great, and many, and tall as the Anakim; and Jehovah destroyed them before them, and they dispossessed them, and dwelt in their stead;
22 LEUM GOD El tuh oru ouiya se pacna inge nu sin mwet Edom, fwilin tulik natul Esau, su muta infulan eol lun Edom. El kunausla mwet Hor, ac oru tuh mwet Edom in eisla acn selos ac oakwuki we, ac elos srakna muta we nwe inge.
as he did to the children of Esau, who dwelt in Seir, from before whom he destroyed the Horites; and they dispossessed them, and dwelt in their stead, even to this day.
23 Acn ma oan weacn Meoa Mediterranean oakwuki tari sin mwet tuku liki tuka Crete. Elos onela mwet Avvim, su mwet na pwaye we, ac eisla acn nukewa lalos, som na nwe siti Gaza in acn eir.)
And the Avvites who dwelt in the hamlets as far as Gazah — the Caphtorim, who came out of Caphtor, destroyed them, and dwelt in their stead.)
24 “Tukun kut fahla sasla Moab, LEUM GOD El fahk nu sesr, ‘Inge, fahsrot alukela Infacl Arnon. Nga ac eisalot Sihon, tokosra lun mwet Amor ke siti Heshbon, nu inpouwos wi pac facl sel. Kowos in mweunel, ac mutawauk in muta fin acn sel.
Rise up, take your journey, and pass over the river Arnon. Behold, I have given into thy hand Sihon the king of Heshbon, the Amorite, and his land: begin, take possession, and engage with him in battle.
25 Misenge lac, nga ac oru mutanfahl nukewa in sangeng suwos. Mwet nukewa fah rarrar ac sangeng ke elos ac lohng keiwos.’
This day will I begin to put the dread of thee and the fear of thee upon the peoples under the whole heaven; who will hear report of thee, and will tremble, and quake because of thee.
26 “Na nga supwala kutu mwet utuk kas yen mwesis Kedemoth lac nu yorol Tokosra Sihon lun Heshbon, ke kas in akmisye inmasrlosr inge:
And I sent messengers out of the wilderness of Kedemoth unto Sihon the king of Heshbon with words of peace, saying,
27 ‘Lela nu sesr in fahsr sasla acn sum uh. Kut ac fahsrna ke inkanek lulap uh, ac tiana kuhfla liki.
Let me pass through thy land: by the highway alone will I go; I will neither turn to the right hand nor to the left.
28 Kut ac moli mwe mongo nasr ac kof nimasr. Ma sefanna kut enenu uh pa kut in fahla fin acn sum an,
Thou shalt sell me food for money that I may eat; and thou shalt give me water for money that I may drink; I will only pass through on my feet,
29 nwe ke kut alukela Infacl Jordan nu in facl se LEUM GOD El ase in lasr. Tulik natul Esau su muta Edom, ac mwet Moab su muta Ar, elos lela kut in alukela facl selos.’
— as the children of Esau who dwell in Seir, and the Moabites who dwell in Ar, did to me, — until I shall pass over the Jordan into the land which Jehovah our God giveth us.
30 Tusruktu Tokosra Sihon el tia lela kut in fahsr sasla fin facl sel. LEUM GOD lowos El akupaye insial in lain kowos, kut in mau ku in kutangulla ac eisla facl sel, su kut srakna muta fac nwe misenge.
But Sihon the king of Heshbon would not let us pass by him; for Jehovah thy God hardened his spirit, and made his heart obdurate, that he might give him into thy hand, as it is this day.
31 “Na LEUM GOD El fahk nu sik, ‘Liye, nga oru tuh Tokosra Sihon ac acn sel uh in munas suwos. Sruokya acn sel an ac muta fac.’
And Jehovah said to me, Behold, I begin to give Sihon and his land before thee: begin, take possession, that thou mayest possess his land.
32 Tokosra Sihon el tufokme wi mwet lal nukewa in mweuni kut apkuran nu ke siti Jahaz,
And Sihon came out against us for battle, he and all his people, to Jahaz.
33 tusruktu LEUM GOD lasr El eisalosme nu inpaosr, ac kut unilya, wi wen natul ac mwet lal nukewa.
But Jehovah our God gave him up before us; and we smote him, and his sons, and his whole people.
34 In pacl sac pacna, kut sruokya ac kunausla siti nukewa, ac uniya mwet nukewa: mukul, mutan, ac tulik. Wangin mwet moul.
And we took all his cities at that time, and utterly destroyed every city, men, and women, and little ones: we let none escape.
35 Kut usla kosro nukewa ac ma saok nukewa in siti lalos.
Only the cattle we took as booty for ourselves, and the spoil of the cities which we took.
36 LEUM GOD lasr El kasrekut in sruokya siti nukewa, mutawauk Aroer sisken Infahlfal Arnon, wi siti se ma oan infulwen infahlfal uh, som na nwe Gilead. Wangin siti ma kalkalyak ku, upa nu sesr in eisla.
From Aroer, which is on the bank of the river Arnon, and the city that is in the ravine even to Gilead, there was not one city too strong for us: Jehovah our God delivered all before us.
37 Tusruktu kut tia som apkuran nu ke acn lun mwet Ammon, ku nu ke pe Infacl Jabbok, ku nu ke siti infulan eol uh, ku nu ke kutena acn ma LEUM GOD El sap kut in tia som nu we.
Only thou didst not approach the land of the children of Ammon, the whole border of the river Jabbok, nor the cities of the mountain, nor to whatsoever Jehovah our God had forbidden us.
