< 申命记 3 >

1 “以后,我们转回,向巴珊去。巴珊王噩和他的众民都出来,在以得来与我们交战。
“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 耶和华对我说:‘不要怕他!因我已将他和他的众民,并他的地,都交在你手中;你要待他像从前待住希实本的亚摩利王西宏一样。’
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 于是耶和华—我们的 神也将巴珊王噩和他的众民都交在我们手中;我们杀了他们,没有留下一个。
“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 那时,我们夺了他所有的城,共有六十座,没有一座城不被我们所夺。这为亚珥歌伯的全境,就是巴珊地噩王的国。
There were 60 cities in that region near Argob, in King Og’s kingdom of Bashan. But we captured all of them
5 这些城都有坚固的高墙,有门有闩。此外还有许多无城墙的乡村。
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 我们将这些都毁灭了,像从前待希实本王西宏一样,把有人烟的各城,连女人带孩子,尽都毁灭;
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 惟有一切牲畜和城中的财物都取为自己的掠物。
But from those cities we took for ourselves all the livestock and other valuable things.
8 那时,我们从约旦河东两个亚摩利王的手将亚嫩谷直到黑门山之地夺过来(
“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 这黑门山,西顿人称为西连,亚摩利人称为示尼珥),
(That mountain is called Sirion by the people of Sidon [city] and is called Senir by the Amor people-group.)
10 就是夺了平原的各城、基列全地、巴珊全地,直到撒迦和以得来,都是巴珊王噩国内的城邑。(
“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 利乏音人所剩下的只有巴珊王噩。他的床是铁的,长九肘,宽四肘,都是以人肘为度。现今岂不是在亚扪人的拉巴吗?)”
(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 “那时,我们得了这地。从亚嫩谷边的亚罗珥起,我将基列山地的一半,并其中的城邑,都给了吕便人和迦得人。
“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 其余的基列地和巴珊全地,就是噩王的国,我给了玛拿西半支派。亚珥歌伯全地乃是巴珊全地;这叫做利乏音人之地。
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 玛拿西的子孙睚珥占了亚珥歌伯全境,直到基述人和玛迦人的交界,就按自己的名称这巴珊地为哈倭特·睚珥,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 我又将基列给了玛吉。
The [northern part of the] Gilead [region] I allotted to the Machir [clan, who are descendants of the tribe of Manasseh].
16 从基列到亚嫩谷,以谷中为界,直到亚扪人交界的雅博河,我给了吕便人和迦得人,
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 又将亚拉巴和靠近约旦河之地,从基尼烈直到亚拉巴海,就是盐海,并毗斯迦山根东边之地,都给了他们。
[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 “那时,我吩咐你们说:‘耶和华—你们的 神已将这地赐给你们为业;你们所有的勇士都要带着兵器,在你们的弟兄以色列人前面过去。
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 但你们的妻子、孩子、牲畜(我知道你们有许多的牲畜)可以住在我所赐给你们的各城里。
But your wives and children and your very numerous cattle must stay in the towns that I have allotted to you.
20 等到你们弟兄在约旦河那边,也得耶和华—你们 神所赐给他们的地,又使他们得享平安,与你们一样,你们才可以回到我所赐给你们为业之地。’
[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 那时我吩咐约书亚说:‘你亲眼看见了耶和华—你 神向这二王所行的;耶和华也必向你所要去的各国照样行。
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 你不要怕他们,因那为你争战的是耶和华—你的 神。’”
Do not be afraid of those people, because Yahweh our God is the one who will fight for you all.’”
23 “那时,我恳求耶和华说:
“At that time, I earnestly prayed, saying
24 ‘主耶和华啊,你已将你的大力大能显给仆人看。在天上,在地下,有什么神能像你行事、像你有大能的作为呢?
‘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 求你容我过去,看约旦河那边的美地,就是那佳美的山地和黎巴嫩。’
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 但耶和华因你们的缘故向我发怒,不应允我,对我说:‘罢了!你不要向我再提这事。
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 你且上毗斯迦山顶去,向东、西、南、北举目观望,因为你必不能过这约旦河。
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 你却要嘱咐约书亚,勉励他,使他胆壮;因为他必在这百姓前面过去,使他们承受你所要观看之地。’
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 于是我们住在伯·毗珥对面的谷中。”
So we remained in the [Jordan River] Valley close to Beth-Peor [town].”
