Ku Wareegiddii Cidlada

Markaasaynu noqonnay, oo waxaynu u guurnay cidladii ku tiil jidka Badda Cas loo maro, sidii Rabbigu igu amray, oo in maalmo badan ah baynu ku wareegaynay Buur Seciir. Markaasaa Rabbigu ila hadlay oo wuxuu igu yidhi, Idinku buurtan wakhti dheer baad ku wareegayseen, haddaba xagga woqooyi u leexda. Oo adigu waxaad dadka ku amartaa oo ku tidhaahdaa, Idinku waxaad dhex martaan soohdinta walaalihiin reer Ceesaw oo Seciir deggan, oo iyana way idinka cabsan doonaan, haddaba si wanaagsan u digtoonaada, hana la diririna, waayo, dalkooda idinka siin maayo xataa intii cagta la saaro, maxaa yeelay, Buur Seciir hanti baan u siiyey reer Ceesaw. Wax aad cuntaan lacag kaga iibsada, oo weliba biyo aad cabtaanna lacag kaga iibsada. Waayo, Rabbiga Ilaahiinna ahu waa idinku wada barakeeyey shuqulkii gacantiinna oo dhan, oo isagu wuu yiqiin socodkiinnii aad cidladan soo dhex marteen. Afartankan sannadood ayaa Rabbiga Ilaahinna ahu idinla jiray, oo waxba uma aydaan baahan. Oo sidaas daraaddeed ayaynu walaalaheen reer Ceesaw oo Buur Seciir degganaa ku soo dhaafnay jidka Caraabaah ee ka soo baxa Eelad iyo Cesyoon Geber.

Markaasaynu leexannay oo waxaynu soo marnay jidka cidlada Moo'aab. Markaasaa Rabbigu igu yidhi, Reer Moo'aab ha dhibin, dagaalna ha kula diririn, waayo, dalkooda waxba hanti idiinka siin maayo, maxaa yeelay, Caar waxaan hanti u siiyey reer Luud. 10 (Waagii hore waxaa halkaas degganaan jiray reer Eymiim oo ahaa dad waaweyn oo badan oo dhaadheer sida reer Canaaq. 11 Oo kuwaasna sida reer Canaaq ayaa waxaa la odhan jiray Refaa'iim, laakiinse reer Moo'aab waxay iyaga ku magacaabaan reer Eymiim. 12 Oo reer Xorna waagii hore waxay degganaan jireen Seciir, laakiinse reer Ceesaw ayaa daba hantiyey oo hortooda ka baabbi'iyey, oo meeshoodii degay, sida reer binu Israa'iil ay ku sameeyeen dalkii ay hantiyeen oo Rabbigu iyaga siiyey.) 13 Haddaba kaca oo ka gudba durdurka Sered. Oo markaasaynu ka gudubnay durdurkii Sered. 14 Oo wakhtigii u dhexeeyey waagii aan Qaadeesh Barneeca ka soo kacnay iyo markii aan durdurka Sered ka soo gudubnay wuxuu ahaa siddeed iyo soddon sannadood, ilamaa qarnigii dagaalyahannada ahaa oo dhan laga wada baabbi'iyey xerada dhexdeedii, sidii Rabbigu iyaga ugu dhaartay. 15 Oo weliba gacantii Rabbigu iyaga gees bay ka ahayd, si iyaga looga wada baabbi'iyo xerada dhexdeeda jeeray wada baabba'aan.

16 Markii dadkii dagaalyahannada ahaa oo dhammu ay wada baabbe'een oo ay dadka dhexdiisii ka wada le'deen, 17 ayuu Rabbigu ila hadlay oo igu yidhi, 18 Maanta waa inaad ka gudubtaa Caar oo ah soohdinta dalka Moo'aab, 19 oo markaad u soo dhowaato reer Cammoon, iyaga ha dhibin hana la diririn, waayo, waxba hanti idiinka siin maayo dalka reer Cammoon, maxaa yeelay, halkaas waxaan hanti u siiyey reer Luud. 20 (Weliba dalkaasna waxaa lagu tiriyaa inuu yahay dalkii reer Refaa'iim, maxaa yeelay, waagii hore waxaa halkaas degganaan jiray reer Refaa'iim, laakiinse reer Cammoon waxay iyaga ku magacaabaan Samsummiim, 21 oo ahaa dad waaweyn oo badan oo dhaadheer sida reer Canaaq, laakiinse Rabbiga ayaa hortooda ka baabbi'iyey, kolkaasay daba hantiyeen oo meeshoodii degeen, 22 siduu reer Ceesaw oo Buur Seciir deggan u sameeyey markuu hortooda ka baabbi'iyey reer Xor oo ay daba hantiyeen oo ay meeshoodii degeen ilaa maantadan la joogo. 23 Oo reer Caw oo degganaa tuulooyin tan iyo Gaasa yiil waxaa wada baabbi'iyey oo meeshoodii degay reer Kaftoriim oo ka soo baxay Kaftoor.)

Boqorkii Xeshboon Oo Laga Adkaaday

24 Haddaba kaca oo guura, oo waxaad ka gudubtaan dooxada Arnoon. Bal eeg, waxaan gacantaada soo geliyey boqorka Xeshboon oo Siixon ah oo reer Amor iyo dalkiisaba. Haddaba waxaad bilowdaa inaad dalka hantidid oo aad isaga la dagaallantaa. 25 Maanta waxaan bilaabayaa inaan cabsidaada iyo baqdintaada ku soo dejiyo dadyowga samada ka hooseeya oo dhan, oo waxay maqli doonaan warkaaga, kolkaasay gariiri doonaan oo kaa nixi doonaan.

26 Oo anigu waxaan cidladii Qedemood uga diray boqorkii Xeshboon oo Siixon ahaa wargeeyayaal hadallo nabdeed sida, oo waxaan ku idhi, 27 Dalkaaga aan dhex maree. Waxaan iska marayaa jidka weyn, oo u leexan maayo xagga midigta iyo xagga bidixda toona. 28 Wax aan cuno lacag igaga iibso, oo biyo aan cabbana lacag iga siiso, haddaba waxaa keliyahoo aad ii yeeshaa inaan dalka cagahayga ku dhex maro, 29 oo ii yeel siday ii yeeleen reer Ceesaw oo deggan Buur Seciir iyo reer Moo'aab oo deggan Caar, ilamaa aan Webi Urdun uga gudbo dalkii Rabbiga Ilaahayaga ahu na siinayo. 30 Laakiinse Siixon oo ahaa boqorkii Xeshboon inooma dayn inaan dalkiisa marno, waayo, Rabbiga Ilaahaaga ah ayaa ruuxiisa qallafiyey oo qalbigiisana wuxuu ka dhigay wax adag, si uu isaga u soo geliyo gacantaada siday maanta tahay. 31 Markaasaa Rabbigu wuxuu igu yidhi, Bal eeg, waxaan bilaabay inaan Siixon iyo dalkiisaba gacantaada soo geliyo, haddaba waxaad bilowdaa inaad hantidid aad dalkiisa dhaxashide. 32 Markaasaa Siixon iyo dadkiisii oo dhammu inagu soo kaceen oo waxay inagula dirireen Yahas. 33 Oo Rabbiga Ilaaheenna ahu isaguu soo geliyey gacanteenna, oo innana waynu dilnay isagii iyo wiilashiisii iyo dadkiisii oo dhanba. 34 Oo waagaasaynu wada qabsannay magaalooyinkiisii oo dhan, oo magaalooyinkii la degganaa oo dhanna waynu wada baabbi'innay, iyo dumarkii iyo dhallaankiiba, cidna kama aynu reebin. 35 Laakiin waxaynu booli ahaan u qaadannay xoolihii iyo alaabtii magaalooyinka aynu qabsannay. 36 Oo magaalo inagu adag laguma arag tan iyo Carooceer oo ku taal dooxada Arnoon qarkeeda, iyo tan iyo magaalada dooxada ku dhex taal iyo tan iyo Gilecaad, maxaa yeelay, Rabbiga Ilaaheenna ah ayaa kulligood gacanta inoo geliyey. 37 Laakiinse waxaa keliyahoo aadan u soo dhowaan dalkii reer Cammoon, iyo Webi Yabboq dhinaciisa oo dhan, iyo magaalooyinka dalka buuraha leh, iyo meel alla meeshii uu Rabbiga Ilaaheenna ahu inoo diiday.

Wanderings in the Wilderness

Then we turned back and set out toward the wilderness along the route to the Red Sea,[a](A) as the Lord had directed me. For a long time we made our way around the hill country of Seir.(B)

Then the Lord said to me, “You have made your way around this hill country long enough;(C) now turn north. Give the people these orders:(D) ‘You are about to pass through the territory of your relatives the descendants of Esau,(E) who live in Seir.(F) They will be afraid(G) of you, but be very careful. Do not provoke them to war, for I will not give you any of their land, not even enough to put your foot on. I have given Esau the hill country of Seir as his own.(H) You are to pay them in silver for the food you eat and the water you drink.’”

The Lord your God has blessed you in all the work of your hands. He has watched(I) over your journey through this vast wilderness.(J) These forty years(K) the Lord your God has been with you, and you have not lacked anything.(L)

So we went on past our relatives the descendants of Esau, who live in Seir. We turned from(M) the Arabah(N) road, which comes up from Elath and Ezion Geber,(O) and traveled along the desert road of Moab.(P)

Then the Lord said to me, “Do not harass the Moabites or provoke them to war, for I will not give you any part of their land. I have given Ar(Q) to the descendants of Lot(R) as a possession.”

10 (The Emites(S) used to live there—a people strong and numerous, and as tall as the Anakites.(T) 11 Like the Anakites, they too were considered Rephaites,(U) but the Moabites called them Emites. 12 Horites(V) used to live in Seir, but the descendants of Esau drove them out. They destroyed the Horites from before them and settled in their place, just as Israel did(W) in the land the Lord gave them as their possession.)

13 And the Lord said, “Now get up and cross the Zered Valley.(X)” So we crossed the valley.

14 Thirty-eight years(Y) passed from the time we left Kadesh Barnea(Z) until we crossed the Zered Valley. By then, that entire generation(AA) of fighting men had perished from the camp, as the Lord had sworn to them.(AB) 15 The Lord’s hand was against them until he had completely eliminated(AC) them from the camp.

16 Now when the last of these fighting men among the people had died, 17 the Lord said to me, 18 “Today you are to pass by the region of Moab at Ar.(AD) 19 When you come to the Ammonites,(AE) do not harass them or provoke them to war,(AF) for I will not give you possession of any land belonging to the Ammonites. I have given it as a possession to the descendants of Lot.(AG)

20 (That too was considered a land of the Rephaites,(AH) who used to live there; but the Ammonites called them Zamzummites. 21 They were a people strong and numerous, and as tall as the Anakites.(AI) The Lord destroyed them from before the Ammonites, who drove them out and settled in their place. 22 The Lord had done the same for the descendants of Esau, who lived in Seir,(AJ) when he destroyed the Horites from before them. They drove them out and have lived in their place to this day. 23 And as for the Avvites(AK) who lived in villages as far as Gaza,(AL) the Caphtorites(AM) coming out from Caphtor[b](AN) destroyed them and settled in their place.)

Defeat of Sihon King of Heshbon

24 “Set out now and cross the Arnon Gorge.(AO) See, I have given into your hand Sihon the Amorite,(AP) king of Heshbon, and his country. Begin to take possession of it and engage(AQ) him in battle. 25 This very day I will begin to put the terror(AR) and fear(AS) of you on all the nations under heaven. They will hear reports of you and will tremble(AT) and be in anguish because of you.”

26 From the Desert of Kedemoth(AU) I sent messengers to Sihon(AV) king of Heshbon offering peace(AW) and saying, 27 “Let us pass through your country. We will stay on the main road; we will not turn aside to the right or to the left.(AX) 28 Sell us food to eat(AY) and water to drink for their price in silver. Only let us pass through on foot(AZ) 29 as the descendants of Esau, who live in Seir, and the Moabites, who live in Ar, did for us—until we cross the Jordan into the land the Lord our God is giving us.” 30 But Sihon king of Heshbon refused to let us pass through. For the Lord(BA) your God had made his spirit stubborn(BB) and his heart obstinate(BC) in order to give him into your hands,(BD) as he has now done.

31 The Lord said to me, “See, I have begun to deliver Sihon and his country over to you. Now begin to conquer and possess his land.”(BE)

32 When Sihon and all his army came out to meet us in battle(BF) at Jahaz, 33 the Lord our God delivered(BG) him over to us and we struck him down,(BH) together with his sons and his whole army. 34 At that time we took all his towns and completely destroyed[c](BI) them—men, women and children. We left no survivors. 35 But the livestock(BJ) and the plunder(BK) from the towns we had captured we carried off for ourselves. 36 From Aroer(BL) on the rim of the Arnon Gorge, and from the town in the gorge, even as far as Gilead,(BM) not one town was too strong for us. The Lord our God gave(BN) us all of them. 37 But in accordance with the command of the Lord our God,(BO) you did not encroach on any of the land of the Ammonites,(BP) neither the land along the course of the Jabbok(BQ) nor that around the towns in the hills.
