¹Dia niverina isika ka nandeha tany an-efitra tamin'ny lalana mankany amin'ny Ranomasina Mena, araka izay nolazain'i Jehovah tamiko; ary nanodidina ny tendrombohitra Seira ela ihany isika.

¹`And we turn, and journey into the wilderness, the way of the Red Sea, as Jehovah hath spoken unto me, and we go round the mount of Seir many days.

²Dia niteny tamiko Jehovah ka nanao hoe:

²`And Jehovah speaketh unto me, saying,

³Aoka izay ny nandehananareo nanodidina ity tendrombohitra ity, fa miverena hianavaratra ianareo.

³Enough to you — is the going round of this mount; turn for yourselves northward.

⁴Ary mandidia ny olona hoe: Hianareo efa handeha hamaky ny tanin'ny taranak'i Esao rahalahinareo, izay monina any Seira; dia hatahotra anareo izy; nefa mitandrema tsara ianareo,

⁴`And the people command thou, saying, Ye are passing over into the border of your brethren, sons of Esau, who are dwelling in Seir, and they are afraid of you; and ye have been very watchful,

⁵ka aza mila ady aminy; fa tsy hanomezako anao ny taniny, na dia eram-paladia akory aza, satria nomeko ho lovan'i Esao ny tendrombohitra Seira.

⁵ye do not strive with them, for I do not give to you of their land even the treading of the sole of a foot; for a possession to Esau I have given mount Seir.

⁶Vola no hamidinareo hanina aminy hohaninareo; ary vola koa no hamidinareo rano aminy hosotroinareo.

⁶`Food ye buy from them with money, and have eaten; and also water ye buy from them with money, and have drunk,

⁷Fa Jehovah Andriamanitrao efa nitahy anao tamin'izay rehetra nataon'ny tananao; fantany ny nandehananao namaky ity efitra lehibe ity; izay efa-polo taona izay Jehovah Andriamanitrao no teo aminao, ka tsy nanan-java-mahory akory ianao.

⁷for Jehovah thy God hath blessed thee in all the work of thy hands; He hath known thy walking in this great wilderness these forty years; Jehovah thy God [is] with thee; thou hast not lacked anything.

⁸Ary raha nandalo ny taranak'i Esao rahalahintsika izay monina any Seira isika ary niala tamin'ny lalana amin'ny tani-hay sy tao Elata ary Ezion-gebera, dia nivily isika ka nandeha tamin'ny lalana mankany amin'ny efitr'i Moaba.

⁸`And we pass by from our brethren, sons of Esau, who are dwelling in Seir, by the way of the plain, by Elath, and by Ezion-Gaber; and we turn, and pass over the way of the wilderness of Moab;

⁹Dia hoy Jehovah tamiko: Aza mandrafy ny Moabita, na mila ady aminy, fa tsy hanomezako ho lovanao ny taniny, satria Ara dia nomeko ho lovan'ny taranak'i Lota.

⁹and Jehovah saith unto me, Do not distress Moab, nor stir thyself up against them [in] battle, for I do not give to thee of their land [for] a possession; for to the sons of Lot I have given Ar [for] a possession.`

¹⁰Ny Emima nonina tany fahiny, dia firenena lehibe sy maro isa ary olona lava tahaka ny Anakita.

¹⁰`The Emim formerly have dwelt in it, a people great, and numerous, and tall, as the Anakim;

¹¹Ireo koa no natao ho Refaita tany aloha tahaka ny Anakita; fa ny Moabita kosa nanao azy hoe Emima.

¹¹Rephaim they are reckoned, they also, as the Anakim; and the Moabites call them Emim.

¹²Ary ny tany Seira dia nonenan'ny Horita, fa ny taranak'i Esao nandroaka azy ka nandringana azy tsy ho eo anoloany, dia nonina nisolo azy, araka ny nataon'ny Isiraely tao amin'ny tany izay nomen'i Jehovah azy ho lovany.)

¹²And in Seir have the Horim dwelt formerly; and the sons of Esau dispossess them, and destroy them from before them, and dwell in their stead, as Israel hath done to the land of his possession, which Jehovah hath given to them;

¹³Ary miaingà ianareo ankehitriny, ka mandehana mita ny lohasahan-driaka Zareda. Dia nita ny lohasahan-driaka Zareda isika.

¹³now, rise ye, and pass over for yourselves the brook Zered; and we pass over the brook Zered.

¹⁴Ary ny andro nandehanantsika hatrany Kadesi-barnea ka hatramin'ny nitantsika ny lohasahan-driaka Zareda dia valo amby telo-polo taona, mandra-pahalany ritran'ny mpanafika rehetra tamin'izany taranaka rehetra izany ka tsy nisy intsony teo amin'ny toby, araka izay efa nianianan'i Jehovah taminy.

¹⁴`And the days which we have walked from Kadesh-Barnea until that we have passed over the brook Zered, [are] thirty and eight years, till the consumption of all the generation of the men of battle from the midst of the camp, as Jehovah hath sworn to them;

¹⁵Ary koa, ny tànan'i Jehovah dia namely azy handringanana azy mandra-pahalany ritrany ka tsy nisy intsony teo amin'ny toby.

¹⁵and also the hand of Jehovah hath been against them, to destroy them from the midst of the camp, till they are consumed.

¹⁶Ary rehefa lany ritra ny mpanafika ka maty avokoa,

¹⁶`And it cometh to pass, when all the men of battle have finished dying from the midst of the people,

¹⁷dia niteny tamiko Jehovah ka nanao hoe:

¹⁷that Jehovah speaketh unto me, saying,

¹⁸Ankehitriny efa hamaky ny tany Moaba ianao ka hahazo any Ara,

¹⁸Thou art passing over to-day the border of Moab, even Ar,

¹⁹dia ho tonga ao akaikin'ny taranak'i Amona, nefa aza mandrafy azy, na mila ady aminy; fa tsy hanomezako ho lovanao ny tanin'ny taranak'i Amona, satria nomeko ho lovan'ny taranak'i Lota izany.

¹⁹and thou hast come near over-against the sons of Ammon, thou dost not distress them, nor stir up thyself against them, for I do not give [any] of the land of the sons of Ammon to thee [for] a possession; for to the sons of Lot I have given it [for] a possession.

²⁰Izany koa no natao ho tanin'ny Refaita; fa ny Refaita no nitoetra tao tany aloha ka nataon'ny Amonita hoe Zamzomita.

²⁰`A land of Rephaim it is reckoned, even it; Rephaim dwelt in it formerly, and the Ammonites call them Zamzummim;

²¹Firenena lehibe sy maro isa ary olona lava tahaka ny Anakita ireny, nefa naringan'i Jehovah tsy ho eo anoloany izy, ka ny Amonita no nonina nisolo azy,

²¹a people great, and numerous, and tall, as the Anakim, and Jehovah destroyeth them before them, and they dispossess them, and dwell in their stead,

²²araka izay nataony koa ho an'ny taranak'i Esao, izay mitoetra any Seira, fa nandringana ny Horita tsy ho eo anoloany Izy, ka dia nandroaka azy ireo ka nonina nisolo azy mandraka androany;

²²as He hath done for the sons of Esau, who are dwelling in Seir, when He destroyed the Horim from before them, and they dispossess them, and dwell in their stead, unto this day.

²³ary ny amin'ny Avita, izay nonina am-bohitra hatrany Gaza, dia naringan'ny Kaftorita, izay avy tany Kaftora, izy; ary ireo no nonina nisolo azy).

²³`As to the Avim who are dwelling in Hazerim unto Azzah, the Caphtorim — who are coming out from Caphtor — have destroyed them, and dwell in their stead.

²⁴Mitsangàna, miaingà, ka mità ny lohasahan-driaka Arnona ianareo; indro, efa natolotro eo an-tananao Sihona Amorita, mpanjakan'i Hesbona, mbamin'ny taniny. Santaro ny handovanao azy, ka tafiho.

²⁴`Rise ye, journey and pass over the brook Arnon; see, I have given into thy hand Sihon king of Heshbon, the Amorite, and his land; begin to possess, and stir up thyself against him [in] battle.

²⁵Anio no vao hataoko mahazo ny firenena ambanin'ny lanitra rehetra ny horohoro sy tahotra anareo, ka raha reny ny lazanao, dia hangovitra sy hangorohoro eo anoloanao izy.

²⁵This day I begin to put thy dread and thy fear on the face of the peoples under the whole heavens, who hear thy fame, and have trembled and been pained because of thee.

²⁶Dia naniraka olona avy tany an-efitr'i Kedemota aho hankany amin'i Sihona, mpanjakan'i Hesbona, nitondra teny fihavanana hoe:

²⁶`And I send messengers from the wilderness of Kedemoth, unto Sihon king of Heshbon, — words of peace — saying,

²⁷Aoka mba handeha hamaky ny taninao aho; ny lalambe ihany no halehako, ka tsy hivily aho, na ho amin'ny ankavanana, na ho amin'ny ankavia;

²⁷Let me pass over through thy land; in the several ways I go; I turn not aside — right or left —

²⁸vola no hamidiko hanina aminao hohaniko, ary vola no hamidiko rano aminao hosotroiko; ary handalo fotsiny ihany aho

²⁸food for money thou dost sell me, and I have eaten; and water for money thou dost give to me, and I have drunk; only, let me pass over on my feet, —

²⁹(araka izay nataon'ny taranak'i Esao, izay monina any Moabita, izay monina any Ara, tamiko) mandra-pitako an'i Jordana ho any amin'ny tany izay omen'i Jehovah Andriamanitray anay.

²⁹as the sons of Esau who are dwelling in Seir, and the Moabites who are dwelling in Ar, have done to me — till that I pass over the Jordan, unto the land which Jehovah our God is giving to us.

³⁰Fa Sihona, mpanjakan'i Hesbona, tsy nety namela antsika handeha hamaky ny taniny; fa Jehovah Andriamanitrao nanamafy ny fony sy nampahaditra ny fanahiny, mba hanolorany azy eo an-tananao tahaka ny amin'izao anio izao.

³⁰`And Sihon king of Heshbon hath not been willing to let us pass over by him, for Jehovah thy God hath hardened his spirit, and strengthened his heart, so as to give him into thy hand as at this day.

³¹Dia niteny tamiko hoe Jehovah: Indro, vao manomboka hanolotra an'i Sihona sy ny taniny eo anoloanao Aho; santaro ny handovanao ny taniny.

³¹`And Jehovah saith unto me, See, I have begun to give before thee Sihon and his land; begin to possess — to possess his land.

³²Dia nivoaka Sihona mbamin'ny vahoakany rehetra hiady amintsika tao Jahaza.

³²`And Sihon cometh out to meet us, he and all his people, to battle to Jahaz;

³³Dia nanolotra azy teo anoloantsika Jehovah Andriamanitsika, ka nandresy azy sy ny zanany ary ny vahoakany rehetra isika.

³³and Jehovah our God giveth him before us, and we smite him, and his sons, and all his people;

³⁴Ary nahafaka ny tanànany rehetra tamin'izany andro izany isika ka nandringana ny mponina rehetra tamin'ny isan-tanàna mbamin'ny zaza amim-behivavy; tsy nasiantsika niangana izy na dia iray akory aza.

³⁴and we capture all his cities at that time, and devote the whole city, men, and the women, and the infants — we have not left a remnant;

³⁵Ny biby fiompy sy ny fananany tao amin'ny tanàna izay afatsika ihany no nataontsika ho babo.

³⁵only, the cattle we have spoiled for ourselves, and the spoil of the cities which we have captured.

³⁶Hatrany Aroera, izay eo amoron'ny lohasahan-driaka Arnona, dia hatramin'ny tanàna izay ao an-dohasaha ka hatrany Gileada, dia tsy nisy tanàna tsy afatsika; fa izy rehetra dia natolotr'i Jehovah Andriamanitsika teo anoloantsika.Kanefa ny tanin'ny taranak'i Amona no tsy nakekenareo, dia ny tany amoron'ny lohasahan-driaka Jaboka, sy ny tanàna ao amin'ny tany havoana, ary izay rehetra nandraran'i Jehovah Andriamanitsika antsika.

³⁶`From Aroer, which [is] by the edge of the brook Arnon, and the city which [is] by the brook, even unto Gilead there hath not been a city which [is] too high for us; the whole hath Jehovah our God given before us.

³⁷Kanefa ny tanin'ny taranak'i Amona no tsy nakekenareo, dia ny tany amoron'ny lohasahan-driaka Jaboka, sy ny tanàna ao amin'ny tany havoana, ary izay rehetra nandraran'i Jehovah Andriamanitsika antsika.

³⁷`Only, unto the land of the sons of Ammon thou hast not drawn near, any part of the brook Jabbok, and cities of the hill-country, and anything which Jehovah our God hath [not] commanded.
