2 “Mpoonya twakanyona akugama kunkanda munzila iitozya ku Lwizi Lusalala, mbubonya Jehova mbwaakandaambila,+ alimwi twakeenda mazuba manji mumbali aa Cilundu ca Seiri.
2 Mpoonya Jehova wakati kulindime,
3 ‘Mweenda kwaciindi cilamfwu mumbali aacilundu eeci. Lino amunyone mutozye kunyika.
4 Kobalailila bantu kuti: “Mulainda mumunyinza wabanabokwanu, ibana ba Esau+ ibakkala mu Seiri,+ alimwi bayoomuyoowa+ pele mweelede kucenjela kapati.
5 Mutazwangani ambabo pe nkaambo nsikamupi nyika yabo niiceya, ndakapa Cilundu ca Seiri kuli Esau kuti cibe cakwe.+
6 Mweelede kubabbadela cakulya ncomuyoolya alimwi amaanzi ngomuyoonywa.+
7 Nkaambo Jehova Leza wanu wamulongezya mumilimo yanu yoonse. Ulikuzyi kabotu kweenda nkomweenda munkanda eeyi iitalikomeneni. Jehova Leza wanu walaandinywe mumyaka yoonse eeyi iili 40 alimwi tiimwabula cintu cili coonse pe.”’+
8 Aboobo twakabaindilila banabokwesu, ibana ba Esau+ ibakkala mu Seiri, akusiya nzila iitozya ku Araba, Elati a Ezioni-geberi.+
“Kuzwa waawo twakanyona akwiinda nzila iitozya kunkanda ya Moabu.+
9 Kumane Jehova wakandaambila kuti, ‘Mutakataliki kulwana abana Moabu nkaambo tandikamupi nyika yabo pe. Inyika ya Ari ndakaipa kubana ba Loti kuti ibe yabo.+
10 (Kaindi bana Emi+ bakakkala mulinjiyo, bakali bantu basinguzu, banji alimwi balamfwu mbuli ba Anakimu.
11 Abalo ba Refaimu+ bakali kubonwa mbuli ba Anakimu,+ alimwi bana Moabu bakali kubaita kuti bana Emi.
12 Kaindi bana Hori+ bakali kukkala mu Seiri, pele bana ba Esau bakabaatula akubajaya akukkala munyika yabo+ mbubonya bana Israyeli mbobayoocita kunyika yalukono lwabo, eeyo Jehova njayoobapa.)
13 Lino amunyamuke muzabuke Kkuti* lya Zeredi.’ Aboobo twakazabuka Kkuti* lya Zeredi.+
14 Myaka njotwakeenda kuzwa mu Kadesi-barinea kusikila notwakazabuka Kkuti* lya Zeredi yakakkwana 38, kusikila izyalani lyabaalumi basikalumamba lyakamaninina kufwa munkambi, mbubonya Jehova mbwaakakonkezya kulimbabo.+
15 Janza lya Jehova lyakabanyonyoona kuti bazwe munkambi, mane bakamana doo.+
16 “Lino mbobakamanina buyo kufwa baalumi basikalumamba akati kabantu,+
17 Jehova alimwi wakandaambila kuti,
18 ‘Sunu mulainda mucilawo cabana Moabu, nkokuti mu Ari.
19 Mwainda afwaafwi abana Amoni, mutabapenzyi naa kubalwana nkaambo nsikamupi nyika yabo niiceya pe, kuti ibe lukono lwanu nkaambo ndakaipa kubana ba Loti kuti ibe lukono lwabo.+
20 Ayalo nyika eeyi yakali kubonwa kuti ninyika yaba Refaimu.+ (Kaindi ba Refaimu bakali kukkala mulinjiyo, alimwi bana Amoni bakali kubaita kuti ba Zamuzumi.
21 Bakali bantu basinguzu, banji alimwi balamfwu mbuli ba Anakimu;+ pele Jehova wakabanyonyoona kubusyu bwabana Amoni alimwi aaba bakabaatula akukkala munyika yabo.
22 Mbubonya mbwaakacitila bana ba Esau ibakali kukkala ku Seiri+ ciindi naakanyonyoona bana Hori+ kubusyu bwabo kutegwa babaatule akukkala munyika yabo kusikila sunu.
23 Eelyo kujatikizya bana Avimu, bakakkede mutunzi mucilawo ca Gaza+ kusikila ba Kafitorimu+ ibakazwa ku Kafitori* nobakabanyonyoona akukkala munyika yabo.)
24 “‘Amunyamuke, muunke akuzabuka Kkuti lya Arinoni.*+ Amubone, ndaaba Sihoni+ imwami wa Hesiboni muna Amori mumaanza aanu. Aboobo amumulwane akubweza nyika yakwe.
25 Buzuba obuno ndilatalika kupa kuti bantu boonse baansi ibayoomvwa mpuwo yanu bamuyoowe. Alimwi bayoonyongana akukankama* akaambo kandinywe.’+
26 “Mpoonya ndakatuma batumwa kuzwa kunkanda ya Kedemoti+ kuya ku Mwami Sihoni wa Hesiboni amajwi aaluumuno aakuti,+
27 ‘Tulomba kuti twiinde mucisi cako. Tulainda buyo munzila. Tatukoonyona kululyo naa kulumwensyi pe.+
28 Tuyoolya buyo cakulya akunywa maanzi ngoyootusambala. Tulomba buyo kwiinda
29 –kusikila tukazabuke mulonga wa Jordano akunjila munyika eeyo Jehova Leza wesu njaakatupa. Oobu mbombubo bana ba Esau ibakkala mu Seiri abana Moabu ibakkala mu Ari mbobakatucita.’
30 Pele Mwami Sihoni wa Hesiboni tanaakatuzumizya kwiinda mucisi cakwe nkaambo Jehova Leza wanu wakazumizya kuti moyo wakwe uyume,+ kutegwa amwaabe mumaanza aanu mbubonya mbomubwene sunu.+
31 “Kumane Jehova wakandaambila kuti, ‘Bona, ndatalika kale kwaaba Sihoni anyika yakwe mumaanza aanu. Amutalike kwiibweza nyika yakwe.’+
32 Sihoni naakaboola abantu bakwe boonse kuti atulwane ku Jahazi,+
33 Jehova Leza wesu wakamwaaba mumaanza eesu, aboobo twakamuzunda abana bakwe alimwi abantu bakwe boonse.
34 Aciindi eeco twakasaala minzi yakwe yoonse akwiinyonyoona, kubikkilizya abaalumi, bamakaintu abana. Kunyina muntu ngotwakasiya kali muumi.+
35 Twakabweza buyo banyama bavwubwa azisaalo zimbi zyamuminzi njotwakasaala.
36 Kuzwa ku Aroeri,+ uuli kunkomwe ya Kkuti lya Arinoni* (kubikkilizya amunzi uuli kukkuti), mane kusikila ku Gileadi, kunyina munzi wakatwaalila kunjila. Jehova Leza wesu wakayaaba yoonse mumaanza eesu.+
37 Nokuba boobo, tiimwakaiguma nyika yabana Amoni,+ nkomwe yoonse ya Kkuti* lya Jaboki+ alimwi aminzi iili mumalundu, naa busena buli boonse Jehova Leza wesu mbwaakamukasya.
