Deuteronomy 3 (IGB)

1Ihe ọzọ bụ na anyị chigharịrị, gbagoo nʼụzọ gawara Bashan. Ma Ọg, eze Bashan, ya na ndị agha ya niile biliri chịrị agha pụta izute anyị nʼagha na Edrei.Then we turned and went up the road to Bashan, and Og king of Bashan and his whole army came out to meet us in battle at Edrei.

2Ma Onyenwe anyị gwara m okwu, sị, “Atụla ya egwu, nʼihi na ewerela m ya na ndị agha ya niile, na ala ya, nyefee gị nʼaka. Mee ya ihe i mere Saịhọn eze ndị Amọrait, onyeisi obodo Heshbọn.”But the LORD said to me, “Do not fear him, for I have delivered him into your hand, along with all his people and his land. Do to him as you did to Sihon king of the Amorites, who lived in Heshbon.”

3Ya mere, Onyenwe anyị bụ Chineke anyị nyefere Ọg, eze Bashan na ndị agha ya niile nʼaka anyị. Anyị gbuchapụkwara ha niile, na-ahapụghị onye ọbụla ndụ.So the LORD our God also delivered Og king of Bashan and his whole army into our hands. We struck them down until no survivor was left.

4Nʼoge ahụ, anyị lụgburu obodo ya. Ọ dịghị obodo ọbụla nʼime iri obodo isii ahụ niile nke anyị na-anaraghị ha, ya bụ akụkụ Agob niile bụ alaeze Ọg nʼime Bashan.At that time we captured all sixty of his cities. There was not a single city we failed to take—the entire region of Argob, the kingdom of Og in Bashan.

5Obodo ndị a bụ obodo e wusiri ike, nwechara mgbidi dị elu nke ukwuu, nwekwaa ọnụ ụzọ na mkpọrọ e ji akpọchi ha. Anyị lụgbukwara ọtụtụ obodo nta ndị ọzọ, ndị na-enweghị mgbidi.All these cities were fortified with high walls and gates and bars, and there were many more unwalled villages.

6Anyị bibiri ihe niile dị nʼobodo Bashan, dịka anyị mere nʼobodo Saịhọn, eze Heshbọn. Anyị gburu mmadụ niile bi nʼime ha, nwoke, nwanyị, na ụmụntakịrị.We devoted them to destruction, as we had done to Sihon king of Heshbon, utterly destroying the men, women, and children of every city.

7Ma anụ ụlọ ha niile, na ihe nkwata si nʼobodo ha niile, bụ ihe anyị lụtara nʼagha nye onwe anyị.But all the livestock and plunder of the cities we carried off for ourselves.

8Mgbe ahụ, anyị napụrụ ala ahụ site nʼaka eze abụọ ndị Amọrait, ya bụ ala ndị dị nʼakụkụ ọwụwa anyanwụ osimiri Jọdan. Ha dị site na ndagwurugwu Anọn ruo nʼugwu Hemon.At that time we took from the two kings of the Amorites the land across the Jordan, from the Arnon Valley as far as Mount Hermon—

9(Aha ndị Saịdọn na-akpọ ugwu Hemon bụ Siriọn, ma ndị Amọrait na-akpọ ya Senia.)which the Sidonians call Sirion but the Amorites call Senir—

10Anyị meriri obodo ndị ahụ niile dị nʼala dị larịị, meriekwa Gilead niile na Bashan, tutu ruo obodo Saleka na Edrei, obodo ndị dị nʼalaeze Ọg, eze Bashan.all the cities of the plateau, all of Gilead, and all of Bashan as far as the cities of Salecah and Edrei in the kingdom of Og.

11(Ọg, eze ndị Bashan bụ naanị onye fọdụrụ ndụ nʼagbụrụ ndị Refaim. E ji igwe kwaa ihe ndina ya, nke ogologo ya dị mita anọ, nke obosara ya bụkwa mita abụọ. Ihe ndina a dị ruo taa nʼobodo Raba, otu nʼime obodo ndị Amọn.)(For only Og king of Bashan had remained of the remnant of the Rephaim. His bed of iron, nine cubits long and four cubits wide, is still in Rabbah of the Ammonites.)

12Mgbe anyị nwetara ala ndị a, eweere m ya nye ndị Ruben, na Gad, ya bụ, oke ala dị nʼebe obodo ugwu Aroea, nke dị nʼakụkụ ndagwurugwu Anọn. Tinyekwara ọkara obodo ugwu Gilead, na obodo niile dị nʼime ya.So at that time we took possession of this land. To the Reubenites and Gadites I gave the land beyond Aroer along the Arnon Valley, and half the hill country of Gilead, along with its cities.

13Ala fọdụrụ na Gilead nakwa Bashan niile na alaeze Ọg ka m nyere otu ọkara ebo Manase. Nke a bụ ala Agob niile dị na Bashan, bụ ndị amaara dịka ala ndị Refaim.To the half-tribe of Manasseh I gave the rest of Gilead and all of Bashan, the kingdom of Og. (The entire region of Argob, the whole territory of Bashan, used to be called the land of the Rephaim.)

14Jaịa, onye si nʼebo Manase, were ala niile dị nʼAgob, ọ bụladị ruo nʼoke ala ndị Geshua na ndị Maaka. Ọ kpọrọ ya nʼaha ya, nke mere na ruo taa ihe a na-akpọ Bashan bụ Havọt Jaịa, nke pụtara, obodo Jaịa.Jair, a descendant of Manasseh, took the whole region of Argob as far as the border of the Geshurites and Maacathites. He renamed Bashan after himself, Havvoth-jair, by which it is called to this day.

15Makia ka m nyere Gilead.To Machir I gave Gilead,

16Ma Ebo Ruben na Gad ka m nyere ala niile dị site na Gilead ruo nʼetiti ndagwurugwu Anọn, na site na ndagwurugwu a ruo nʼiyi Jabọk, nke bụ oke ala ụmụ Amọn. Etiti ndagwurugwu Anọn bụkwa oke ala ebo Ruben na Gad.and to the Reubenites and Gadites I gave the territory from Gilead to the Arnon Valley (the middle of the valley was the border) and up to the Jabbok River, the border of the Ammonites.

17Oke ala ha nʼakụkụ ọdịda anyanwụ bụ osimiri Jọdan nke dị nʼAraba. Oke ala a sitere na Kineret gbatịa ruo nʼOsimiri Araba (ya bụ Osimiri Nnu), nke dị na mgbada ugwu Pisga.The Jordan River in the Arabah bordered it from Chinnereth to the Sea of the Arabah (the Salt Sea) with the slopes of Pisgah to the east.

18Enyekwara m unu iwu nʼoge ahụ sị, “Onyenwe anyị Chineke unu enyela unu ala a ka unu nwere ya. Ma ndị unu niile, ndị bụ dimkpa, ndị jikeere maka agha, ga-agafe nọrọ ndị Izrel ndị ọzọ nʼihu.At that time I commanded you: “The LORD your God has given you this land to possess. All your men of valor are to cross over, armed for battle, ahead of your brothers, the Israelites.

19Otu ọ dị, ebe ọ bụ na unu nwere ọtụtụ anụ ụlọ, ndị nwunye unu na ụmụntakịrị unu ga-ebi nʼobodo ndị m nyere unu, lekọtaa anụ ụlọ unu anya,But your wives, your children, and your livestock—I know that you have much livestock—may remain in the cities I have given you,

20tutu ruo mgbe Onyenwe anyị ga-enye ụmụnna unu mmeri dịka o nyere unu. Mgbe ha nwetara ala Onyenwe anyị Chineke anyị na-enye ha nʼofe Jọdan, onye ọbụla nʼime unu nwere ike lọghachi bịa biri nʼala unu.”until the LORD gives rest to your brothers as He has to you, and they too have taken possession of the land that the LORD your God is giving them across the Jordan. Then each of you may return to the possession I have given you.”

21Nʼoge ahụ, agwara m Joshua okwu sị, “I jirila anya gị hụ ihe Onyenwe anyị Chineke gị mere eze abụọ ndị a. Otu a ka ọ ga-emekwa alaeze niile dị nʼofe Jọdan ebe unu na-aga.And at that time I commanded Joshua: “Your own eyes have seen all that the LORD your God has done to these two kings. The LORD will do the same to all the kingdoms you are about to enter.

22Atụla ha egwu, nʼihi Onyenwe anyị Chineke gị ga-alụrụ gị ọgụ.”Do not be afraid of them, for the LORD your God Himself will fight for you.”

23Nʼoge ahụ, arịrịọ m Onyenwe anyị arịrịọ sị ya,At that time I also pleaded with the LORD:

24“Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị ị malitela igosi mụ bụ ohu gị ịdị ukwuu gị na ike gị. O nweghị chi ọzọ dị nʼeluigwe maọbụ nʼụwa pụrụ ịrụ ọrụ ebube niile ị rụrụ.“O Lord GOD, You have begun to show Your greatness and power to Your servant. For what god in heaven or on earth can perform such works and mighty acts as Yours?

25Kwere ka m gafee hụ ala ọma ahụ dị nʼofe ọzọ nke Jọdan, ala ugwu ugwu ahụ mara mma, na Lebanọn.”Please let me cross over and see the good land beyond the Jordan—that pleasant hill country as well as Lebanon!”

26Ma nʼihi unu, Onyenwe anyị wesoro m iwe jụ ige m ntị! Onyenwe anyị gwara m okwu sị m, “O zuola! Agwakwala m ihe ọbụla banyere okwu a.But the LORD was angry with me on account of you, and He would not listen to me. “That is enough,” the LORD said to me. “Do not speak to Me again about this matter.

27Gaa, rigoruo nʼelu ugwu Pisga, site nʼebe ahụ lepụ anya nʼakụkụ ugwu na ndịda ma nʼakụkụ ọwụwa anyanwụ na ọdịda anyanwụ. Ọ bụ anya gị ka ị ga-eji hụ ala ahụ, nʼihi na ị gaghị agafe osimiri Jọdan.Go to the top of Pisgah and look to the west and north and south and east. See the land with your own eyes, for you will not cross this Jordan.

28Nye Joshua ike ka ọ nọchie ọnọdụ gị. Gbaakwa ya ume, nʼihi na ọ bụ ya ga-edu ndị a gafee Jọdan iketa ala ahụ niile ị ga-ahụ.”But commission Joshua, encourage him, and strengthen him, for he will cross over ahead of the people and enable them to inherit the land that you will see.”

29Ya mere, anyị nọdụrụ na ndagwurugwu ahụ dị nso na Bet-Peoa.So we stayed in the valley opposite Beth-peor.
