申命记 2
1 “此后，我们转回，从红海的路往旷野去，是照耶和华所吩咐我的。我们在西珥山绕行了许多日子。
And departing from thence we came into the wilderness that leadeth to the Red Sea, as the Lord had spoken to me: and we compassed mount Seir a long time.
2 耶和华对我说：
And the Lord said to me:
3 ‘你们绕行这山的日子够了，要转向北去。
You have compassed this mountain long enough: go toward the north:
4 你吩咐百姓说：你们弟兄以扫的子孙住在西珥，你们要经过他们的境界。他们必惧怕你们，所以你们要分外谨慎。
And command thou the people, saying: You shall pass by the borders of your brethren the children of Esau, who dwell in Seir, and they will be afraid of you.
5 不可与他们争战；他们的地，连脚掌可踏之处，我都不给你们，因我已将西珥山赐给以扫为业。
Take ye then good heed that you stir not against them. For I will not give you of their land so much as the step of one foot can tread upon, because I have given mount Seir to Esau, for a possession.
6 你们要用钱向他们买粮吃，也要用钱向他们买水喝。
You shall buy meats of them for money and shall eat: you shall draw waters for money, and shall drink.
7 因为耶和华—你的 神在你手里所办的一切事上已赐福与你。你走这大旷野，他都知道了。这四十年，耶和华—你的 神常与你同在，故此你一无所缺。’
The Lord thy God hath blessed thee in every work of thy hands: the Lord thy God dwelling with thee, knoweth thy journey, how thou hast passed through this great wilderness, for forty years, and thou hast wanted nothing.
8 “于是，我们离了我们弟兄以扫子孙所住的西珥，从亚拉巴的路，经过以拉他、以旬·迦别，转向摩押旷野的路去。
And when we had passed by our brethren the children of Esau, that dwelt in Seir, by the way of the plain from Elath and from Asiongaber, we came to the way that leadeth to the desert of Moab.
9 耶和华吩咐我说：‘不可扰害摩押人，也不可与他们争战。他们的地，我不赐给你为业，因我已将亚珥赐给罗得的子孙为业。’
And the Lord said to me: Fight not against the Moabites, neither go to battle against them: for I will not give thee any of their land, because I have given Ar to the children of Lot in possession.
10 先前，有以米人住在那里，民数众多，身体高大，像亚衲人一样。
The Emims first were the inhabitants thereof, a people great, and strong, and so tall, that like the race of the Enacims,
11 这以米人像亚衲人；也算为利乏音人；摩押人称他们为以米人。
They were esteemed as giants, and were like the sons of the Enacims. But the Moabites call them Emims.
12 先前，何利人也住在西珥，但以扫的子孙将他们除灭，得了他们的地，接着居住，就如以色列在耶和华赐给他为业之地所行的一样。
The Horrhites also formerly dwelt in Seir: who being driven out and destroyed, the children of Esau dwelt there, as Israel did in the land of his possession, which the Lord gave him.
13 现在，起来过撒烈溪！于是我们过了撒烈溪。
Then rising up to pass the torrent Zared, we came to it.
14 自从离开加低斯·巴尼亚，到过了撒烈溪的时候，共有三十八年，等那世代的兵丁都从营中灭尽，正如耶和华向他们所起的誓。
And the time that we journeyed from Cadesbarne till we passed over the torrent Zared, was thirty-eight years: until all the generation of the men that were fit for war was consumed out of the camp, as the Lord had sworn:
15 耶和华的手也攻击他们，将他们从营中除灭，直到灭尽。
For his hand was against them, that they should perish from the midst of the camp.
16 “兵丁从民中都灭尽死亡以后，
And after all the fighting men were dead,
17 耶和华吩咐我说：
The Lord spoke to me, saying:
18 ‘你今天要从摩押的境界亚珥经过，
Thou shalt pass this day the borders of Moab, the city named Ar:
19 走近亚扪人之地，不可扰害他们，也不可与他们争战。亚扪人的地，我不赐给你们为业，因我已将那地赐给罗得的子孙为业。’
And when thou comest nigh the frontiers of the children of Ammon, take heed thou fight not against them, nor once move to battle: for I will not give thee of the land of the children of Ammon, because I have given it to the children of Lot for a possession.
20 那地也算为利乏音人之地，先前利乏音人住在那里，亚扪人称他们为散送冥。
It was accounted a land of giants: and giants formerly dwelt in it, whom the Ammonites call Zomzommims,
21 那民众多，身体高大，像亚衲人一样，但耶和华从亚扪人面前除灭他们，亚扪人就得了他们的地，接着居住。
A people great and many, and of tall stature, like the Enacims whom the Lord destroyed before their face: and he made them to dwell in their stead,
22 正如耶和华从前为住西珥的以扫子孙将何利人从他们面前除灭、他们得了何利人的地、接着居住一样，直到今日。
As he had done in favour of the children of Esau, that dwell in Seir, destroying the Horrhites, and delivering their land to them, which they possess to this day.
23 从迦斐托出来的迦斐托人将先前住在乡村直到迦萨的亚卫人除灭，接着居住。
The Hevites also, that dwelt in Haserim as far as Gaza, were expelled by the Cappadocians: who came out of Cappadocia, and destroyed them, and dwelt in their stead.
24 你们起来前往，过亚嫩谷；我已将亚摩利人希实本王西宏和他的地交在你手中，你要与他争战，得他的地为业。
Arise ye, and pass the torrent Arnon: Behold I have delivered into thy hand Sehon king of Hesebon the Amorrhite, and begin thou to possess his land and make war against him.
25 从今日起，我要使天下万民听见你的名声都惊恐惧怕，且因你发颤伤恸。”
This day will I begin to send the dread and fear of thee upon the nations that dwell under the whole heaven: that when they hear thy name they may fear and tremble, and be in pain like women in travail.
26 “我从基底莫的旷野差遣使者去见希实本王西宏，用和睦的话说：
So I sent messengers from the wilderness of Cademoth to Sehon the king of Hesebon with peaceable words, saying:
27 ‘求你容我从你的地经过，只走大道，不偏左右。
We will pass through thy land, we will go along by the highway: we will not turn aside neither to the right hand nor to the left.
28 你可以卖粮给我吃，也可以卖水给我喝，只要容我步行过去，
Sell us meat for money, that we may eat: give us water for money and so we will drink. We only ask that thou wilt let us pass through,
29 就如住西珥的以扫子孙和住亚珥的摩押人待我一样，等我过了约旦河，好进入耶和华—我们 神所赐给我们的地。’
As the children of Esau have done, that dwell in Seir, and the Moabites, that abide in Ar: until we come to the Jordan, and pass to the land which the Lord our God will give us.
30 但希实本王西宏不容我们从他那里经过；因为耶和华—你的 神使他心中刚硬，性情顽梗，为要将他交在你手中，像今日一样。
And Sehon the king of Hesebon would not let us pass: because the Lord thy God had hardened his spirit, and fixed his heart, that he might be delivered into thy hands, as now thou seest.
31 耶和华对我说：‘从此起首，我要将西宏和他的地交给你；你要得他的地为业。’
And the Lord said to me: Behold I have begun to deliver unto thee Sehon and his land, begin to possess it.
32 那时，西宏和他的众民出来攻击我们，在雅杂与我们交战。
And Sehon came out to meet us with all his people to fight at Jasa.
33 耶和华—我们的 神将他交给我们，我们就把他和他的儿子，并他的众民，都击杀了。
And the Lord our God delivered him to us: and we slew him with his sons and all his people.
34 我们夺了他的一切城邑，将有人烟的各城，连女人带孩子，尽都毁灭，没有留下一个。
And we took all his cities at that time, killing the inhabitants of them, men and women and children. We left nothing of them:
35 惟有牲畜和所夺的各城，并其中的财物，都取为自己的掠物。
Except the cattle which came to the share of them that took them: and the spoils of the cities, which we took:
36 从亚嫩谷边的亚罗珥和谷中的城，直到基列，耶和华—我们的 神都交给我们了，没有一座城高得使我们不能攻取的。
From Aroer, which is upon the bank of the torrent Amen, a town that is situate in a valley, as far as Galaad. There was not a village or city, that escaped our hands: the Lord our God delivered all unto us:
37 惟有亚扪人之地，凡靠近雅博河的地，并山地的城邑，与耶和华—我们 神所禁止我们去的地方，都没有挨近。”
Except the land of the children of Ammon, to which we approached not: and all that border upon the torrent Jeboc, and the cities in the mountains, and all the places which the Lord our God forbade us.
