申命記 2
1 以後，我們照上主對我吩咐，的轉向紅海出發，往曠野進行，我們圍著色依爾山地繞行了很久。
Then we turned, and took our journey into the wilderness by the way to the Red Sea, as the LORD spoke to me; and we encircled Mount Seir many days.
2 那時上主對我說：「
The LORD spoke to me, saying,
3 你們繞行這山地已夠久了，如今該轉向北方。
"You have encircled this mountain long enough. Turn northward.
4 你吩咐人民說：你們要經過你們的兄弟厄撒烏子孫所住的色依爾地區；他們必畏懼你們，但你們卻應小心，
Command the people, saying, 'You are to pass through the border of your brothers the descendants of Esau, who dwell in Seir; and they will be afraid of you: take good heed to yourselves therefore;
5 不要與他們挑戰，因為他們的地，連腳掌那麼大的一塊地，我也沒有給你們，因為我已將色依爾山地給了厄撒烏作產業。
do not 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.
6 你們應用錢向他們買糧吃，用錢向他們買水喝。
You 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.'"
7 的確，上主你的天主祝福了你所作的一切，護衛你經過了這遼闊的曠野，這四十年來，上主你的天主常與你同在，使你什麼也不曾缺少。」
For the LORD your God has blessed you in all the work of your hand; he has known your walking through this great wilderness: these forty years the LORD your God has been with you; you have lacked nothing.
8 於是我們繞過了我們的兄弟厄撒烏的子孫所住的色依爾，沿阿辣巴路到了厄拉特，和厄茲雍革貝爾，然後轉向摩阿布曠野進發。
So we passed by from our brothers the descendants of Esau, who dwell in Seir, from the way of the Arabah from Eilat and from Ezion Geber. We turned and passed by the way of the wilderness of Moab.
9 那時上主對我說：「不要擾亂摩阿布人，不要與他們挑戰，他們的土地我一點也不會給你作產業，因為我已將阿爾給了羅特子孫作產業。 [
The LORD said to me, "Do not 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 descendants of Lot for a possession."
10 原先住在那裏的，是強大眾多，身材魁偉像阿納克人的厄明民族。
(The Emim lived there before, a people great, and many, and tall, as the Anakim:
11 他們像阿納克人一樣，也算是勒法因人，但摩阿布人卻稱他們為厄明人。
these also are accounted Rephaim, as the Anakim; but the Moabites call them Emim.
12 同樣，在色依爾原先住有曷黎人；但厄撒烏的子孫侵佔了他們的產業，消滅了他們，住在他們境內，就如以色列人對上主賜給他們作產業的土地所做的一樣。]
The Horites also lived in Seir before, but the descendants 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 the LORD gave to them.)
13 你們現在起身，過則勒得溪。」我們就過了則勒得溪。
"Now rise up, and cross over the Wadi Zered." So we went over the Wadi Zered.
14 從離開卡德士巴爾乃亞到我們過則勒得溪所用的時間，共計三十八年，直到能作戰的那一代，照上主對他們所起的誓，由營中完全消滅。
The days in which we came from Kadesh Barnea, until we had come over the Wadi Zered, were thirty-eight years; until all the generation of the men of war were consumed from the midst of the camp, as the LORD swore to them.
15 實在是上主的手攻擊了他們，使他們由營中完全消滅。
Moreover the hand of God was against them, to destroy them from the midst of the camp, until they were consumed.
16 所有的戰士由民中死盡以後，
So it happened, when all the men of war were consumed and dead from among the people,
17 上主吩咐我說：「
that the LORD spoke to me, saying,
18 你今天路過摩阿布的領土，即阿爾，
"You are this day to pass over Ar, the border of Moab:
19 就要面臨阿孟子民；但不要擾亂他們，不要與他們挑戰，阿孟子民的土地我一點也不會給你作產業，因為我已將這地給了羅特子孫作產業。 [
and when you come near over against the people of Ammon, do not bother them, nor contend with them; for I will not give you of the land of the people of Ammon for a possession; because I have given it to the people of Lot for a possession."
20 這地也算是勒法因人地，勒法因人先前住在那裏，阿孟人稱他們為「匝默組明。」
(That also is accounted a land of Rephaim: Rephaim lived in it before; but the Ammonites call them Zamzummim,
21 他們像阿納克人一樣，是強大眾多，身材魁偉的民族；但上主卻由阿孟人面前消滅了他們，使阿孟人佔有他們的產業，住在他們境內，
a people great, and many, and tall, as the Anakim; but the LORD destroyed them before them; and they succeeded them, and lived in their place;
22 正如上主為住在色依爾的厄撒烏子孫所做的一樣：即由他們面前消滅了曷黎人，使厄撒烏的子孫佔有他們的產業，住在他們的境內，直到今日。
as he did for the descendants 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:
23 同樣，阿威人原先住在迦薩附近各村莊內，有加非托爾人由加非托爾來，將他們消滅，住在他們境內。]
and 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.)
24 你們起身出發，過阿爾農河。看，我已將阿摩黎人赫市朋王息紅和他的土地交在你手中；進軍佔領，與他交戰。
"Rise up, take your journey, and pass over the Valley of the Arnon: look, 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.
25 從今日起，我要使天下萬民在你面前驚慌害怕，使他們一聽見你的消息就戰慄；一看見你的面目就發抖。」
This 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."
26 我於是由刻德摩特曠野，派遣使者到赫市朋王息紅那裏，和平談判說：
I sent messengers out of the wilderness of Kedemoth to Sihon king of Heshbon with words of peace, saying,
27 讓我從你國內經過，我只走大道，不偏右也不偏左。
"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.
28 你按價錢賣給我糧吃，按價錢供給我水喝；只讓我步行過去，──
You 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,
29 如住在色依爾的厄撒烏子孫和住在阿爾的摩阿布人，對我所做的一樣，──好使我過約但河，進入上主我們的天主賜給我們的地方。
as the people 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 the LORD our God gives us."
30 但是赫市朋王息紅，不肯讓我們從他那裏經過，因為上主你的天主使他頑固，使他心硬，好將他交在你手中，就如今日一樣。
But Sihon king of Heshbon would not let us pass by him; for the LORD your God hardened his spirit, and made his heart obstinate, that he might deliver him into your hand, as at this day.
31 上主對我說：看我已將息紅和他的土地交給了你，你應進軍佔領他的土地。」
The LORD said to me, "Look, I have begun to deliver up Sihon and his land before you: begin to possess, that you may inherit his land."
32 那時息紅和他所有的民眾出來攻擊我們，在雅哈茲與我們交戰；
Then Sihon came out against us, he and all his people, to battle at Jahaz.
33 但上主我們的天主將他交給了我們，我們擊殺了他，他的兒子和他所有的人民。
The LORD our God delivered him up before us; and we struck him, and his sons, and all his people.
34 同時我們也佔領了他所有的城邑，照毀滅律將全城破壞，不論男女或幼童，全都殺死，沒有留下一個，
We took all his cities at that time, and utterly destroyed every inhabited city, with the women and the little ones; we left none remaining:
35 只留下了牲畜和由佔領的城邑中所奪的財物，作我們的戰利品。
only the livestock we took for a prey to ourselves, with the spoil of the cities which we had taken.
36 由阿爾農谷邊的阿洛厄爾和谷中的城直到基肋阿得，沒有一座城不被我們攻下的，上主我們的天主將這一切全交給了我們，
From 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; the LORD our God delivered up all before us:
37 只有阿孟子孫的土地，即雅波克河一帶和山地的城邑，你沒有進攻，全照上主我們的天主所吩咐的。
only to the land of the people of Ammon you did not come near; all the side of the river Jabbok, and the cities of the hill country, and wherever the LORD our God forbade us.
