民數記 21
1 客納罕人的阿辣得王，其時住在乃革布，聽說以色列人沿阿塔陵路前來，就與以色列人交戰，據去了一些人。
And he heard the Canaanite [the] king of Arad [who] dwelt the Negev that it had come Israel [the] way of the Atharim and he engaged in battle against Israel and he took captive - some of it captive[s].
2 以色列人於是向上主許願說：「你若將這人民交在我手內，我必將他們的城毀滅」。
And it vowed Israel a vow to Yahweh and it said certainly [if] you will give the people this in hand my and I will totally destroy cities their.
3 上主遂聽了以色列人的請求，將客納罕人交在他們手裏，以色列人就毀滅了他們和他們的城；人遂給那地方起名叫曷爾瑪。
And he listened Yahweh to [the] voice of Israel and he delivered up the Canaanite[s] and it totally destroyed them and cities their and someone called [the] name of the place Hormah.
4 他們由曷爾山沿紅海的路起程出發，繞過地；在路上人民已不耐煩，
And they set out from Hor the mountain [the] direction of [the] sea of reed[s] to go around [the] land of Edom and it became short [the] self of the people on the way.
5 抱怨天主和梅瑟說：「你們為什麼由埃及領我們由埃及上來死在曠野﹖這裏沒有糧食，又沒有水，我們對這輕淡的食物已感厭惡」。
And it spoke the people against God and against Moses why? have you brought up us from Egypt to die in the wilderness for there not [is] food and there not [is] water and self our it loathes the food worthless.
6 上主遂打發火蛇到人民中來，咬死了許多以色列人。
And he sent Yahweh among the people the snakes the saraphs and they bit the people and it died a people numerous from Israel.
7 人民於是來到梅瑟前說：「我們犯了罪，抱怨了上主和你；請你轉求上主，給我們趕走這些蛇」。梅瑟遂為人民轉求。
And it came the people to Moses and they said we have sinned for we have spoken against Yahweh and against you pray to Yahweh so may he remove from on us the snake[s] and he prayed Moses for the people.
8 上主對梅瑟說：「你做一條火蛇，懸在木桿上；凡是被蛇咬的，一瞻仰牠，必得生存」。
And he said Yahweh to Moses make for yourself a saraph and put it on a standard and it will be every [one who] is bitten and he will see it and he will live.
9 梅瑟遂做了一條銅蛇，懸在木桿上；那被蛇咬了的人，一瞻仰姛蛇，就保存了生命」。
And he made Moses a snake of bronze and he put it on the standard and it was if it had bitten the snake anyone and he looked to [the] snake of bronze and he lived.
10 以色列子民再起程出發，在敖波特紮了營；
And they set out [the] people of Israel and they encamped in Oboth.
11 由敖波特天出發，在依耶阿巴陵，即在面朝摩阿布東邊的曠野內紮了營。
And they set out from Oboth and they encamped at Iye Abarim in the wilderness which [is] on [the] face of Moab from [the] rising of the sun.
12 由那裏又出發，在則勒得河旁紮了營。
From there they set out and they encamped in [the] wadi of Zered.
13 由那裏又出發，在阿爾農北岸紮了營。這條河是在曠野中，由阿摩黎人的邊境流出；阿爾農就是阿摩黎的邊界，介於摩阿布和阿摩黎之間。
From there they set out and they encamped from [the] other side of Arnon which [is] in the wilderness which goes out from [the] border of the Amorite[s] that Arnon [is] [the] border of Moab between Moab and between the Amorite[s].
14 為此在「上主的戰書」上說：「在蘇法的瓦赫布和阿爾農山谷，
There-fore it is said in [the] book of [the] wars of Yahweh Waheb in Suphah and the wadis Arnon.
15 以及山谷的斜坡；這斜坡伸展到阿爾地區，緊靠摩阿布的邊境」。
And [the] slope of the wadis which it extends to [the] dwelling of Ar and it leans to [the] border of Moab.
16 由那裏他們到貝爾，那裏有口井，上主曾指這井對梅瑟說：「你召集人民，我要賜給他們水喝」。
And from there Beer towards that [is] the well which he said Yahweh to Moses gather the people so let me give to them water.
17 那時以色列人就唱了這首歌說：「井，湧出水來! 你們應對它歌唱!
Then it sang Israel the song this spring up O well sing of it.
18 這井是領袖挖掘的，是民間的貴人，以權杖和棍棒挖鑿的」。他們由曠野到瑪塔納，
A well [which] they dug it [the] leaders [which] they dug it [the] noble [people] of the people with a ruler's staff with staffs their and from [the] wilderness Mattanah.
19 由瑪塔納到了納哈里耳；由納哈里耳了到巴摩特；
And from Mattanah Nahaliel and from Nahaliel Bamoth.
20 由巴摩特到了摩阿布的山谷，到了俯瞰曠野的斯加高峰。
And from Bamoth the valley which [is] in [the] region of Moab [the] top of Pisgah and it looked down over [the] face of the desolate place.
21 以色列人派遺使者到阿摩黎人的君王息紅前說：
And it sent Israel messengers to Sihon [the] king of the Amorite[s] saying.
22 「請讓我由你國內經過，我們決不闖入莊田或葡萄園，也不喝井中的水，只沿王道而行，直至走你的國境」。
Let me pass in land your not we will turn aside in a field and in a vineyard not we will drink water of a well on [the] way of the king we will go until that we will pass through territory your.
23 息紅卻不讓以色列人經過他的國境；且調集他己所有的人民，往曠野裏去對抗以色列人；一來到雅哈茲，就與以色列人交戰。
And not he permitted Sihon Israel to pass in territory his and he gathered Sihon all people his and he went out to meet Israel the wilderness towards and he came Jahaz towards and he engaged in battle against Israel.
24 以色列人用刀劍將他擊敗，佔領了他的國境，自阿爾農河直到雅波克河，直到阿孟子民的邊界。
And it struck him Israel to [the] mouth of [the] sword and it took possession of land his from Arnon to Jabbok to [the] descendants of Ammon for [was] strong [the] border of [the] descendants of Ammon.
25 於是以色列人佔領了那裏所有的城鎮，就住在阿摩黎人所有的城鎮內，並住在赫市朋及其附屬城內。
And it took Israel all the cities these and it dwelt Israel in all [the] cities of the Amorite[s] in Heshbon and in all daughters its.
26 赫市朋原是阿摩黎人王息紅的都城。息紅與前任阿摩黎王交戰，佔領了他所有的土地，直到阿爾農河。
For Heshbon [was] [the] city of Sihon [the] king of the Amorite[s] it and he he had waged war against [the] king of Moab former and he had taken all land his from hand his to Arnon.
27 為此詩人吟詠說：「你們到修建鞏固的赫市朋去，那穩固的息紅城；
There-fore they say those [who] speak proverbs come Heshbon let it be rebuilt and it may be established [the] city of Sihon.
28 因為由赫市朋發出了火，從息紅的城冒出了火焰，吞滅了摩阿布的阿爾，消滅了阿爾農的高丘。
For fire it went out from Heshbon flame from [the] town of Sihon it consumed Ar of Moab [the] citizens of [the] high places of Arnon.
29 禍哉，摩阿布! 革摩市人民，你已滅亡! 他的兒子已經逃亡，女兒已被俘，交給了阿摩黎人的君王息紅。
Woe! to you O Moab you have perished O people of Chemosh he has made sons his fugitives and daughters his in captivity of [the] king of [the] Amorite[s] Sihon.
30 但我們一襲擊他們，赫市朋直到狄朋，盡成廢壚；我們蹂躝一切直到諾法黑，直到默德巴」。
And we shot at them it has perished Heshbon to Dibon and we have devastated to Nophah which [is] to Medeba.
31 這樣以色列人就住在阿摩黎的區域內。
And it dwelt Israel in [the] land of the Amorite[s].
32 梅瑟又派人去偵探雅則爾；他們佔領了這城及其附屬城鎮，驅逐了那裏的阿摩黎人。
And he sent Moses to spy out Jazer and they captured daughters its (and it dispossessed *Q(K)*) the Amorite[s] who [was] there.
33 此後前進，上了往巴商的路。巴商王敖格同他全國的人民，就出來對抗他們，在厄德勒與他們交戰。
And they turned and they went up [the] direction of Bashan and he went out Og [the] king of Bashan to meet them he and all people his for battle Edrei.
34 上主對梅瑟說：「不必怕他，因為我已將他，他的人民和國土，都交在你手裏了；你要待他，如同待住在赫市朋 木阿摩黎人的君王一樣」。
And he said Yahweh to Moses may not you fear him for in hand your I have given him and all people his and land his and you will do to him just as you did to Sihon [the] king of the Amorite[s] who [was] dwelling in Heshbon.
35 他們擊殺了他，他的兒子和他所有的人民，沒有剩下一個；遂佔據了他的國土。
And they struck down him and sons his and all people his until not he had left to him a survivor and they took possession of land his.
