¹Then we turned, and took our journey into the wilderness by the way to the Red Sea or, Sea of Reeds , as Yahweh spoke to me; and we encircled Mount Seir many days.

¹¶ Na ka tahuri tatou, ka haere ki te koraha na te ara ki te Moana Whero; i pera ano me ta Ihowa i ki mai ai ki ahau: a he maha nga ra i taiawhiotia ai e tatou a Maunga Heira.

²Yahweh spoke to me, saying,

²Na ka korero a Ihowa ki ahau, ka mea,

³“You have encircled this mountain long enough. Turn northward.

³Ka roa nei ta koutou taiawhio i tenei maunga: tahuri whaka te raki.

⁴Command 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: take good heed to yourselves therefore;

⁴Whakahau hoki ki te iwi, mea atu, Ka haere nei koutou na nga rohe o o koutou tuakana, o nga tama a Ehau, e noho ana i Heira; a ka wehi ratou i a koutou: na kia tupato i a koutou:

⁵don’t contend with them; for I will not give you 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.

⁵Kaua e whakapataritari i a ratou; e kore hoki e hoatu e ahau ki a koutou tetahi wahi o to ratou whenua, ahakoa takahanga mo te kapu o te waewae, no te mea kua hoatu e ahau a Maunga Heira ki a Ehau hei kainga tupu.

⁶You shall purchase food of them for money, that you may eat; and you shall also buy water of them for money, that you may drink.’”

⁶Hokona he kai i a ratou ki te moni, ka kai ai koutou; ko te wai hoki me hoki e koutou i a ratou ki te moni, ka inu ai.

⁷For Yahweh your God has blessed you in all the work of your hand; he has known your walking through this great wilderness: these forty years Yahweh your God has been with you; you have lacked nothing.

⁷He mea hoki kua manaaki a Ihowa, tou Atua, i a koe i nga mahi katoa a tou ringa; e mohio ana ia ki tou haerenga i tenei koraha nui: i tou taha a Ihowa, tou Atua, i enei tau e wha tekau; a kahore koe i hapa i tetahi mea.

⁸So 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.

⁸¶ A ka pahemo i a tatou o tatou tuakana, nga tama a Ehau, e noho ana i Heira, i te ara i te mania o Erata, o Ehiono Kepere, na ka tahuri tatou, ka haere na te huarahi i te koraha o Moapa.

⁹Yahweh said to me, “Don’t bother Moab, neither contend with them in battle; for I will not give you of his land for a possession; because I have given Ar to the children of Lot for a possession.”

⁹A ka mea a Ihowa ki ahau, Kei whawhai koe ki nga Moapi, kaua ano e whakatari pakanga ki a ratou; ta te mea e kore e hoatu e ahau tetahi wahi o tona whenua hei kainga mou, no te mea kua hoatu a Ara e ahau hei kainga mo nga tama a Rota.

¹⁰(The Emim lived therein before, a people great, and many, and tall, as the Anakim:

¹⁰I noho nga Emime ki reira i mua, he nui, he tini, he roroa tena iwi, rite tahi ano ki nga Anakimi:

¹¹these also are accounted Rephaim, as the Anakim; but the Moabites call them Emim.

¹¹I korerotia hoki ratou he roroa, he pera me nga Anakimi; na nga Moapi ia ratou i hua he Emime.

¹²The Horites also lived in Seir before, but the children of Esau succeeded them; and they destroyed them from before them, and lived in their place; as Israel did to the land of his possession, which Yahweh gave to them.)

¹²I noho hoki nga Hori ki Heira i mua; a, muri iho i a ratou, ko nga tama a Ehau, na ratou hoki te hunanga i era i o ratou aroaro, a noho iho ana ki to ratou wahi, rite tahi ta ratou ki ta Iharaira i mea ai ki te whenua i riro mai i a ia, i homai nei e Ihowa ki a ratou.

¹³“Now rise up, and cross over the brook Zered.” We went over the brook Zered.

¹³Tena, whakatika, whiti atu i te awa, i Terete: na ka whiti mai tatou i te awa, i Terete.

¹⁴The 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 midst of the camp, as Yahweh swore to them.

¹⁴A ko nga ra i haere mai ai tatou i Kareheparenea, a tae noa ki to tatou whitinga mai i te awa, i Terete, e toru tekau ma waru nga tau, no ka poto atu i roto i te ope te whakapaparanga katoa o nga tangata hapai patu; te pera me ta Ihowa i oati ai ki a ratou.

¹⁵Moreover the hand of Yahweh was against them, to destroy them from the midst of the camp, until they were consumed.

¹⁵I runga ano hoki i a ratou te ringa o Ihowa e whakamate ana i a ratou i te puni a poto noa ratou.

¹⁶So it happened, when all the men of war were consumed and dead from among the people,

¹⁶A ka poto katoa nga tangata hapai patu te mate atu i roto i te iwi.

¹⁷that Yahweh spoke to me, saying,

¹⁷Na ka korero a Ihowa ki ahau, ka mea,

¹⁸“You are this day to pass over Ar, the border of Moab:

¹⁸Hei tenei ra koe haere ai ma Ara, ma te rohe o Moapa.

¹⁹and when you come near over against the children of Ammon, don’t bother them, nor contend with them; for I will not give you of the land of the children of Ammon for a possession; because I have given it to the children of Lot for a possession.”

¹⁹A, e tata atu koe ki te ritenga atu o nga tama a Amona, kaua e whawhai ki a ratou, kaua ano hoki e whakatari pakanga ki a ratou: e kore hoki e hoatu e ahau tetahi wahi o te whenua o nga tama a Amona hei kainga mou, no te mea kua hoatu e ahau hei kainga mo nga tama a Rota.

²⁰(That also is accounted a land of Rephaim: Rephaim lived therein before; but the Ammonites call them Zamzummim,

²⁰I korerotia hoki tera he whenua tangata roroa; i noho hoki nga tangata roroa ki reira i mua, a huaina iho ratou e nga Amoni he Hamahumi.

²¹a people great, and many, and tall, as the Anakim; but Yahweh destroyed them before them; and they succeeded them, and lived in their place;

²¹He nui, he maha, he roroa taua iwi, rite tahi ki nga Anakimi; na Ihowa ia ratou i huna i to ratou aroaro; a riro ana to ratou kainga i a ratou, a noho tonu iho i muri i a ratou;

²²as 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:

²²Pera me tana i mea ai ki nga tama a Ehau, e noho ra i Heira, i tana hunanga i nga Hori i to ratou aroaro; na riro ana i a ratou to ratou kainga, a noho tonu iho ratou i muri i a ratou a mohoa noa nei.

²³and the Avvim, who lived in villages as far as Gaza, the Caphtorim, who came forth out of Caphtor, destroyed them, and lived in their place.)

²³Na, ko nga Awimi, i noho ra ki nga pa a puta noa ki Kaha, na nga Kapatorimi i haere mai ra i Kapatora ratou i huna, a noho iho i muri i a ratou.

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.

²⁴¶ Whakatika, haere, whiti atu i te awa i Aranona; na kua hoatu e ahau ki tou ringa a Hihona kingi o Hehepona, te Amori me tona whenua: anga atu, tangohia, e riri i ta korua riri.

²⁵This day will I 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.”

²⁵Kei tenei ra ahau timata ai te whakapa i tou pawera, i tou wehi ki nga iwi i raro i te rangi, puta noa, puta noa, ina rongo ki tou rongo, a ka wiri ratou, ka aue i a koe.

²⁶I sent messengers out of the wilderness of Kedemoth to Sihon king of Heshbon with words of peace, saying,

²⁶Na tukua atu ana e ahau nga karere i te koraha, i Keremota, ki a Hihona kingi o Hehepona; mo te ata noho nga kupu, a ka mea atu,

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.

²⁷Kia haere atu ahau na tou whenua; ka haere ahau na te huanui; e kore ahau e peka ki matau, ki maui.

²⁸You shall sell me food for money, that I may eat; and give me water for money, that I may drink: only let me pass through on my feet,

²⁸Mau e homai he kai maku hei utu mo te moni, ka kai ai ahau; e homai hoki he wai moku mo te moni, ka inu ai ahau; heoi ano ko te haere kau a oku waewae;

²⁹as 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 Yahweh our God gives us.”

²⁹Kia rite ki ta nga tama a Ehau e noho ana i Heira i mea ai ki ahau, me ta nga Moapi hoki e noho ra i Ara; kia whiti atu ra ano ahau i Horano ki te whenua i homai e Ihowa, e to matou Atua, ki a matou.

³⁰But Sihon king of Heshbon would not let us pass by him; for Yahweh your God hardened his spirit, and made his heart obstinate, that he might deliver him into your hand, as at this day.

³⁰Heoi kihai a Hihona kingi o Hehepona i pai kia haere atu tatou na tona kainga: na Ihowa hoki, na tou Atua i whakapakeke tona wairua, i whakamaia hoki tona ngakau, kia homai ai ia ki tou ringa; koia ano tenei inaianei.

³¹Yahweh 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.”

³¹Na ka mea a Ihowa ki ahau, Titiro, kua timata ahau te tuku ki tou aroaro i a Hihona, i tona whenua: anga atu, tangohia tona whenua hei kainga.

³²Then Sihon came out against us, he and all his people, to battle at Jahaz.

³²Na ka puta mai a Hihona ki te tu i a tatou, ki te whawhai hoki i Iahata, a ia me tona iwi katoa.

³³Yahweh our God delivered him up before us; and we struck him, and his sons, and all his people.

³³A homai ana ia e Ihowa, e to tatou Atua, ki to tatou aroaro; na patua ana ia e tatou, me ana tama, me tona iwi katoa.

³⁴We took all his cities at that time, and utterly destroyed every inhabited city, with the women and the little ones; we left none remaining:

³⁴A horo ana i a tatou ona pa katoa i taua wa ano, huna iho ana hoki nga tangata o nga pa katoa, me nga wahine, me nga potiki, kihai tetahi morehu i mahue i a tatou.

³⁵only the livestock we took for a prey to ourselves, with the spoil of the cities which we had taken.

³⁵Ko nga kararehe ia i tangohia ma tatou, me nga taonga hoki o nga pa i horo i a tatou.

³⁶From 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; Yahweh our God delivered up all before us:

³⁶O Aroera atu ano, i te taha o te awa o Aranona, me te pa hoki i te awa, a paku noa ki Kireara, kahore tetahi pa i maia i a tatou: homai katoa ana e Ihowa, e to tatou Atua, ki a tatou.

³⁷only to the land of the children of Ammon you didn’t come near; all the side of the river Jabbok, and the cities of the hill country, and wherever Yahweh our God forbade us.

³⁷Heoi ano ko te whenua o nga tama a Amona kihai i taea atu e koe, me nga wahi katoa o te awa, o Iapoko, me nga pa o nga maunga, me nga wahi katoa i kiia mai e Ihowa, e to tatou Atua.
