< 申命記 3 >

1 然後我們轉向巴商進發;巴商王敖格和他所有的民眾出來攻擊我們,在厄德勒與我們交戰。
“Then we turned [north] and went toward the Bashan region. Og, the king [of that area], and all his soldiers marched [south] to fight against us at Edrei [town].
2 上主對我說:「你不要怕他,因為我已將他、他所有的民眾和土地都交在你手中;你對待他,應如對待住在赫市朋的阿摩黎人王息紅一樣。」
Yahweh said to me, ‘Do not be afraid of him, because I will enable your [army] to defeat [MTY] him and all his army and to capture all their land. Do to him what you did to Sihon, the king of the Amor people-group, who ruled in Heshbon [city].’
3 上主我們的天主也將巴商王敖格,和他所有的民眾交在我們的手中;我們擊殺了他,一個也沒有給他留下。
“So Yahweh enabled us to defeat [IDM] King Og and all his army. We killed them all; we did not allow any of them to remain alive.
4 同時我們佔領了他所有的城邑,沒有一座城不為我們所佔領;巴商王敖格的國土,阿爾哥布全地區共有六十座城邑,
There were 60 cities in that region near Argob, in King Og’s kingdom of Bashan. But we captured all of them
5 都是些具有高闊的城牆,安門置閂,設防的城邑;此外尚有很多無圍牆的村莊。
All those cities had high walls [around them] with gates and bars. We also captured many villages that did not have walls [around them].
6 我們照毀滅律毀滅了這些城邑,有如對赫市朋王息紅所做的一樣,殺盡了各城中的男女和幼童,
We completely destroyed everything, just as we had done [in the area that] King Sihon ruled. We killed all the men, women, and children.
7 只留下了牲畜和由佔領的城中所奪的財物,作我們的戰利品。
But from those cities we took for ourselves all the livestock and other valuable things.
8 這樣,我們在那時,由這兩個阿摩黎人王的手中,奪得了約但河東岸的土地,自阿爾農河直到赫爾孟山。 [
“So at that time we took from those two kings of the Amor people-group all the land east of the Jordan [River], from the Arnon [River] gorge [in the south] to Hermon Mountain [in the north].”
9 漆冬人稱赫爾孟為息爾翁;阿摩黎人則稱之為色尼爾。]
(That mountain is called Sirion by the people of Sidon [city] and is called Senir by the Amor people-group.)
10 即奪得了高原上所有的城邑,全基肋阿得和全巴商,直到撒耳加和厄德勒:這都是巴商王敖格國土內的城邑。 [
“We captured all the towns on the (plateau/high level land), and all the Gilead [region], and all the Bashan [region] as far east as Edrei and Salecah towns, which also belonged to Og’s kingdom.”
11 巴商王敖格是勒法因人遺族中僅存的人物;他的床是鐵做的,以人肘為度,長九肘,寬四肘,尚存在阿孟子民的辣巴城裏。]
(Og was the last king who was a descendant of the Repha giants. His bed was made of iron. It was almost (14 feet/4 meters) long and (6 feet/2 meters) wide. It is still [RHQ] in Rabbah [city] in the Ammon area.)
12 我由我們那時所佔領的土地中,將阿爾農河邊的阿洛厄爾以北的地方,基肋阿得山地的一半和境內的城邑,給了勒烏本人和加得人;
“From the land that we captured at that time, I allotted to the tribes of Reuben and Gad the land [north] of Aroer [town] near the Arnon [River], and some of the hilly area of the Gilead [region], along with the nearby towns.
13 基肋阿得其餘的地方和全巴商,即敖格的國土給了默納協半個支派。 [人稱阿爾哥布全地區,即全巴商,為「勒法因人地。」
The other part of the Gilead [region] and all of the Bashan [region], which was the Argob [region] that King Og had ruled, I allotted to half of the tribe of Manasseh.” (The entire Bashan [region] is called the land of the Repha giants.)
14 默納協的兒子雅依爾,佔領了阿爾哥布地區,直到革叔爾人和瑪阿加人的邊界,遂按自己的名字稱那地為「哈沃特雅依爾,」直到今日。]
“Jair, from the tribe of Manasseh, conquered all the Bashan area as far [north] as the border of the Geshur and Maacah territories. He gave his own name to the villages there, and they are still called the villages of Jair.
15 我又將基肋阿得給了瑪基爾。
The [northern part of the] Gilead [region] I allotted to the Machir [clan, who are descendants of the tribe of Manasseh].
16 由基肋阿得到阿爾農河,以河中心為邊界,直到雅波克河,即阿孟人的邊界,我將那一帶地方給了勒烏本人和加得人;
I allotted to the tribes of Reuben and Gad the southern part of the Gilead [region, extending south] to the Arnon [River]. The middle of the river is the [southern] boundary. The [northern] boundary is the Jabbok River, which is part of the border of the Ammon area.
17 還有阿辣巴荒野,以約但河為界,從基乃勒特直到阿辣巴海,即直到東面靠近丕斯加山坡的鹽海一帶地方。
[To the west their territory extended] to the Jordan [River] Valley, from Galilee Lake [in the north] to the Dead Sea [in the south] and to the slopes of Pisgah [Mountain] to the east.
18 那時我吩咐你們說:「上主你們的天主,將這地賜給了你們作產業,但你們所有戰士,應武裝起來,走在你們兄弟以色列子民前面,
At that time, I told you three tribes, ‘Yahweh our God is giving you this land [east of the Jordan River], for you to occupy/capture. So now, give your soldiers weapons, and send them [across the Jordan River] ahead of the men from the other Israeli tribes [to help them to conquer/capture the land that has been allotted to them].
19 只有你們的婦孺和牲畜,──我知道你們有很多牲畜-可留在我給你們的城內,
But your wives and children and your very numerous cattle must stay in the towns that I have allotted to you.
20 直到上主使你們的兄弟如你們一樣有了安身之處,等他們也佔領了,上主你們的天主賜給他們的約但河西的地方,那時你們各人才可回到我給你們為產業的地方。
[Your men must help your fellow Israelis] until Yahweh enables them to live there peacefully after they capture all the land that Yahweh our God is giving to them on the west side of the Jordan [River], just like he did for you [here on the east side of the river]. After that, you all may return to this land that I have allotted to you.’
21 同時我也吩咐若蘇厄說:你親眼看見了,上主你們的天主對這兩個國王所做的一切;上主必同樣對待你要過河去攻擊的一切王國。
And I told Joshua, ‘You [SYN] have seen everything that Yahweh our God did to those two kings, [Sihon and Og]. He will do the same thing to the people [who are now] in the land that you will be entering.
22 不要怕他們,因為上主你們的天主要替你們作戰。」
Do not be afraid of those people, because Yahweh our God is the one who will fight for you all.’”
23 那時我哀求天主說:「
“At that time, I earnestly prayed, saying
24 我主,上主! 你已開始向你的僕人顯示你的偉大和你有力的手臂,天上地下有那個神能作你所作的工作,行你所行的奇事﹖
‘Yahweh our Lord, you have merely begun to show me that you are very great and to show me the powerful things that you can do [MTY]. There is certainly no [RHQ] god in heaven or on earth who can do the powerful things/deeds that you [have done].
25 求你讓我過去,得見約但河西的肥美土地,那壯麗的山嶺和黎巴嫩。」
So please allow me to cross the Jordan [River] and to see the good/fertile land on the west side, the beautiful hilly area and [the mountains in] Lebanon.’
26 但是上主為了你們的緣故對我發怒,沒有俯聽我,且對我說,「罷了! 不要對我再提這事。
But Yahweh was angry with me because of [what] your ancestors [had made me do], so he would not pay attention to me. Instead, he said, ‘That is enough [talk from you]! Do not talk to me about that again!
27 你上丕斯加山頂去,舉目向東西南北,好好觀看,因為你不能過這約但河。
Climb up to the top of Pisgah [Mountain] and look toward the west and to the east, toward the north and to the south. Look at [MTY] it all carefully, because you will not cross the Jordan [River to see the land from there].
28 你應訓示若蘇厄,堅固他,鼓勵他,因為他要率領這百姓過去,給他們分配你所觀看的地方。」
But tell Joshua what he must do and encourage him to be strong, because he is the one who will lead the people [across the river in order that they can] occupy/capture the land that you will see [from the top of the mountain].’
29 那時我們住在貝特培敖爾對面的山谷中。
So we remained in the [Jordan River] Valley close to Beth-Peor [town].”
