< Deuteronomy 2 >

1 Then we turned, and took our journey into the wilderness by the way to the Red Sea, as the LORD spoke to me; and we encircled Mount Seir many days.
Cathut ni kai koe bout a dei e patetlah kaimouh ni kamlang awh vaiteh, Tuipui paling kahrawng lahoi ka cei teh Seir mon hah moi ka saw lah ka lawngven awh.
2 The LORD spoke to me, saying,
Cathut nihai, nangmouh ni atueng akuep nahan hete mon hah na lawngven awh toe.
3 “You have encircled this mountain long enough. Turn northward.
Atunglah bout cet awh ei.
4 Command the people, saying, ‘You are to pass through the border of your brothers, the children of Esau, who dwell in Seir; and they will be afraid of you. Therefore be careful.
Nang ni tami pueng koe na dei pouh hane teh, na hmau Esaw miphunnaw a onae Seir ram teng vah, nangmouh na cei awh toteh ahnimouh ni a taki awh han. Hatdawkvah kâhruetcuet awh.
5 Do not contend with them; for I will not give you any of their land, no, not so much as for the sole of the foot to tread on, because I have given Mount Seir to Esau for a possession.
Rek saueng hanh awh. Ahnimae ram hah, kai ni nangmouh na poe hoeh. Na coungroenae khok hmuen tittouh hai na poe hoeh. Seir mon hateh Esaw yo ka poe toe.
6 You shall purchase food from them for money, that you may eat. You shall also buy water from them for money, that you may drink.’”
Nangmouh ni na canei nahane bu hoi tui hai thoseh, ahnimouh koe tangka hoi na ran awh han.
7 For the LORD your God has blessed you in all the work of your hands. He has known your walking through this great wilderness. These forty years, the LORD your God has been with you. You have lacked nothing.
Nangmouh ni na tawksaknae pueng dawk, nangmae Cathut ni yawhawinae a poe toe. Hete kahrawngpui dawk nangmouh na lawngven awh e a kongnaw a panue. A kum 40 touh thung nangmae BAWIPA Cathut ni nangmouh hoi cungtalah ao nah, banghai nangmouh dawk panki hoeh telah ati.
8 So we passed by from our brothers, the children of Esau, who dwell in Seir, from the way of the Arabah from Elath and from Ezion Geber. We turned and passed by the way of the wilderness of Moab.
Seir ram kaawm e maimae hmau Esaw miphun koe cei awh teh, Elath khopui Eziongeber khopui hoi ka cet e lam tâphai koe ka dawn awh teh, haw hoi bout kamlang awh teh Moab kahrawng lam lahoi ka cei awh.
9 The LORD said to me, “Do not bother Moab, neither contend with them in battle; for I will not give you any of his land for a possession, because I have given Ar to the children of Lot for a possession.”
BAWIPA Cathut nihai, Moab khocanaw rucat poe awh hanh, tuk awh hanh, ahnimae ram kai ni na poe awh hoeh. Arab ram teh Lot miphunnaw kai ni yo ka poe toe telah ti pouh.
10 (The Emim lived there before, a great and numerous people, and tall as the Anakim.
Ayan vah Anakim miphun patetlah ka rasang kalen e Em miphunnaw teh hote ram dawk ao awh.
11 These also are considered to be Rephaim, as the Anakim; but the Moabites call them Emim.
Ahnimouh teh, Anakim miphunnaw patetlah ao e lah a pouk awh. Hatnavah Moab ram khocanaw ni ahnimanaw teh EM telah a kaw awh.
12 The Horites also lived in Seir in the past, but the children of Esau succeeded them. They destroyed them from before them, and lived in their place, as Israel did to the land of his possession, which the LORD gave to them.)
Ayan vah Hor taminaw teh Seir ram vah ao awh. Ahnimouh hah Esaw miphunnaw ni a thei awh teh, ahnimouh onae hmuen dawk ao awh. Hot patetlah Cathut ni a poe e ram hah Isarel miphunnaw ni ati awh.
13 “Now rise up and cross over the brook Zered.” We went over the brook Zered.
Atu cet awh nateh Zered tui rakat awh haw telah a dei e patetlah Ahnimouh ni Zered tui a raka awh.
14 The days in which we came from Kadesh Barnea until we had come over the brook Zered were thirty-eight years, until all the generation of the men of war were consumed from the middle of the camp, as the LORD swore to them.
Kadeshbarnea hmuen koe ahmaloe phanae tueng koehoi ka tâco awh teh Zered tui rakanae tueng totouh kum 38 touh a ro. Cathut ni lawk a kam e patetlah ahmaloe e taran ka tuk thai e ransanaw pueng teh taminaw thungup hoi a due awh.
15 Moreover the LORD’s hand was against them, to destroy them from the middle of the camp, until they were consumed.
Ahnimouh raphoe hoeh roukrak, Cathut ni ahnimouh koehoi pâmit hanelah a kut a dâw.
16 So, when all the men of war were consumed and dead from among the people,
Taran ka tuk thai e pueng tamihu thung e koung a pâmit sak hnukkhu,
17 the LORD spoke to me, saying,
Cathut ni nang teh Moab ram,
18 “You are to pass over Ar, the border of Moab, today.
Ar ram a lungui vah sahnin na cei han.
19 When you come near the border of the children of Ammon, do not bother them, nor contend with them; for I will not give you any of the land of the children of Ammon for a possession, because I have given it to the children of Lot for a possession.”
Ammon miphunnaw teng na pha torei teh ahnimouh rucatnae poe awh hanh, reksaueng awh hanh. Ammon miphunnaw a onae ram hah kai ni nangmouh koe na poe hoeh. Hote ram teh Lot miphunnaw kai ni ka poe toe telah kai koe a dei.
20 (That also is considered a land of Rephaim. Rephaim lived there in the past, but the Ammonites call them Zamzummim,
Hote ram hai kalenpounge taminaw e hmuen doeh telah taminaw ni a pouk awh. Ayan e tueng dawk, hot patetlae taminaw ni ao awh. Ahnimouh hah Ammon ram khocanaw ni Zamzummim telah a kaw awh.
21 a great people, many, and tall, as the Anakim; but the LORD destroyed them from before Israel, and they succeeded them, and lived in their place,
Hote miphun teh Anakim miphunnaw patetlah kalenpoung kapap poung e taminaw doeh.
22 as he did for the children of Esau who dwell in Seir, when he destroyed the Horites from before them; and they succeeded them, and lived in their place even to this day.
Hatei Seir ram dawk kaawm e Esaw miphun e hmalah Hor taminaw hah Cathut ni a raphoe dawkvah, ahnimae hmuen dawk Esaw miphunnaw ni sahnin totouh ao e patetlah koung a pâmit teh ahnimae hmuen dawk Arnonnaw ni ao awh.
23 Then the Avvim, who lived in villages as far as Gaza: the Caphtorim, who came out of Caphtor, destroyed them and lived in their place.)
Hot patetlah Hazrim khopui koehoi Gaza khopui totouh ouk kaawm e naw Avvimnaw hai Kaptor khopui ka tâcawt e Kaptor taminaw ni a raphoe awh teh, ahnimanaw a onae hmuen dawk ao awh.
24 “Rise up, take your journey, and pass over the valley of the Arnon. Behold, I have given into your hand Sihon the Amorite, king of Heshbon, and his land; begin to possess it, and contend with him in battle.
Nangmouh na thaw awh vaiteh cet awh haw, Arnon tuipui raka awh haw. Amor miphun, Heshbon siangpahrang Sihon hoi a talai hah nangmae kut dawk ka poe toung dawkvah, khosak awh nateh hote bawi hah tuk awh.
25 Today I will begin to put the dread of you and the fear of you on the peoples who are under the whole sky, who shall hear the report of you, and shall tremble and be in anguish because of you.”
Tâmai rahim kaawm e pueng, miphunnaw ni sahnin nangmouh tâsue taki laihoi ao nahan ka sak han. Nangmae kamthang a thai awh vaiteh, puennae, pâyawnae, runae puenghoi a kâhmo awh han telah ati.
26 I sent messengers out of the wilderness of Kedemoth to Sihon king of Heshbon with words of peace, saying,
Kai hai Kedemoth kahrawng hoi Heshbon siangpahrang Sihon koevah patounenaw ka patoun vaiteh,
27 “Let me pass through your land. I will go along by the highway. I will turn neither to the right hand nor to the left.
Aram lungui vah na cetsak haw, na lam dawk dueng ka dawn han. Avoilah aranglah ka phen mahoeh.
28 You shall sell me food for money, that I may eat; and give me water for money, that I may drink. Just let me pass through on my feet,
Seir ram kaawm e Esaw miphun, Ar ram dawk kaawm e Moab miphunnaw ni kai dawk a sak awh e patetlah ka ca hane rawca thoseh, nei hane tui hai thoseh, tangka hoi yawt lawih.
29 as the children of Esau who dwell in Seir, and the Moabites who dwell in Ar, did to me, until I pass over the Jordan into the land which the LORD our God gives us.”
Kai teh Cathut ni na poe e ram lah Jordan palang ka raka vaiteh ka pha hoehroukrak Seir ram lungui dawk khok hoi ka cet haw nei telah kâhuikonae lawk hoi ka dei nakunghai,
30 But Sihon king of Heshbon would not let us pass by him, for the LORD your God hardened his spirit and made his heart obstinate, that he might deliver him into your hand, as it is today.
Kaimouh ka cei nahane Heshbon siangpahrang Sihon ni kâ na poe hoeh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, sahnin kamnue e patetlah nangmae Cathut ni hote siangpahrang nangmae kut dawk na poe hanelah, lung a tha o sak, lungpatanae lungthin a poe.
31 The LORD said to me, “Behold, I have begun to deliver up Sihon and his land before you. Begin to possess, that you may inherit his land.”
Cathut ni hai Sihon siangpahrang hoi a talai hah na poe han. Hote talai hah râw lah na pang hanelah lat lawih telah a dei.
32 Then Sihon came out against us, he and all his people, to battle at Jahaz.
Hatnavah, Sihon siangpahrang teh amae tami puenghoi Jahaz vah maimanaw na tuk hanelah a tâco.
33 The LORD our God delivered him up before us; and we struck him, his sons, and all his people.
Maimae Cathut ni hote siangpahrang hah maimouh koe na poe teh, ama hoi a canaw hoi tami pueng ka thei awh.
34 We took all his cities at that time, and utterly destroyed every inhabited city, with the women and the little ones. We left no one remaining.
Hatnavah ahnie khopui pueng ka tuk awh teh, napui tongpa, camonaw buet touh hai hlung laipalah koung ka pâmit awh.
35 Only the livestock we took for plunder for ourselves, with the plunder of the cities which we had taken.
Saringnaw, khopui dawk e hnopainaw dueng kamamouh hanlah ka la pouh awh.
36 From Aroer, which is on the edge of the valley of the Arnon, and the city that is in the valley, even to Gilead, there was not a city too high for us. The LORD our God delivered up all before us.
Arnon tuipui teng kaawm e Aroer khopui hoi Gilead khopui totouh, tuipui teng kaawm e pueng khopuinaw thung, ka tâ thai hoeh e buet touh hai khopui awm hoeh. Maimae Cathut ni a cawngca pueng maimouh dawk na poe.
37 Only to the land of the children of Ammon you did not come near: all the banks of the river Jabbok, and the cities of the hill country, and wherever the LORD our God forbade us.
Hatnavah Ammon miphunnaw a onae talai, Jabbok tuipui hoi talai, mon dawk e khopui hoi maimae Cathut ni na cakâ pouh e bang buet touh hai ka hnai awh hoeh.
