民数记 21
1 住南地的迦南人亚拉得王，听说以色列人从亚他林路来，就和以色列人争战，掳了他们几个人。
And when king Arad the Chanaanite, who dwelt towards the south, had heard this, to wit, that Israel was come by the way of the spies, he fought against them, and overcoming them carried off their spoils.
2 以色列人向耶和华发愿说：“你若将这民交付我手，我就把他们的城邑尽行毁灭。”
But Israel binding himself by vow to the Lord, said: It thou wilt deliver this people into my hand, I will utterly destroy their cities.
3 耶和华应允了以色列人，把迦南人交付他们，他们就把迦南人和迦南人的城邑尽行毁灭。那地方的名便叫何珥玛。
And the Lord heard the prayers of Israel, and delivered up the Chanaanite, and they cut them off and destroyed their cities: and they called the name of that place Horma, that is to say, Anathema.
4 他们从何珥山起行，往红海那条路走，要绕过以东地。百姓因这路难行，心中甚是烦躁，
And they marched from mount Hor, by the way that leadeth to the Red Sea, to compass the land of Edom. And the people began to be weary of their journey and labour:
5 就怨 神和摩西说：“你们为什么把我们从埃及领出来、使我们死在旷野呢？这里没有粮，没有水，我们的心厌恶这淡薄的食物。”
And speaking against God and Moses, they said: Why didst thou bring us out of Egypt, to die in the wilderness? There is no bread, nor have we any waters: our soul now loatheth this very light food.
6 于是耶和华使火蛇进入百姓中间，蛇就咬他们。以色列人中死了许多。
Wherefore the Lord sent among the people fiery serpents, which bit them and killed many of them.
7 百姓到摩西那里，说：“我们怨 耶和华和你，有罪了。求你祷告耶和华，叫这些蛇离开我们。”于是摩西为百姓祷告。
Upon which they came to Moses, and said: We have sinned, because we have spoken against the Lord and thee: pray that he may take away these serpents from us. And Moses prayed for the people.
8 耶和华对摩西说：“你制造一条火蛇，挂在杆子上；凡被咬的，一望这蛇，就必得活。”
And the Lord said to him: Make brazen serpent, and set it up for a sign: whosoever being struck shall look on it, shall live.
9 摩西便制造一条铜蛇，挂在杆子上；凡被蛇咬的，一望这铜蛇就活了。
Moses therefore made a brazen serpent, and set it up for a sign: which when they that were bitten looked upon, they were healed.
10 以色列人起行，安营在阿伯。
And the children of Israel setting forwards camped in Oboth.
11 又从阿伯起行，安营在以耶·亚巴琳，与摩押相对的旷野，向日出之地。
And departing thence they pitched their tents in Jeabarim, in the wilderness, that faceth Moab toward the east.
12 从那里起行，安营在撒烈谷。
And removing from thence, they came to the torrent Zared:
13 从那里起行，安营在亚嫩河那边。这亚嫩河是在旷野，从亚摩利的境界流出来的；原来亚嫩河是摩押的边界，在摩押和亚摩利人搭界的地方。
Which they left and encamped over against Arnon, which is in the desert and standeth out on the borders of the Amorrhite. For Arnon is the border of Moab, dividing the Moabites and the Amorrhites.
14 所以耶和华的战记上说：“苏法的哇哈伯与亚嫩河的谷，
Wherefore it is said in the book of the wars of the Lord: As he did in the Red Sea, so will he do in the streams of Amen.
15 并向亚珥城众谷的下坡，是靠近摩押的境界。”
The rocks of the torrents were bowed down that they might rest in Ar, and lie down in the borders of the Moabites.
16 以色列人从那里起行，到了比珥。从前耶和华吩咐摩西说：“招聚百姓，我好给他们水喝”，说的就是这井。
When they went from that place, the well appeared whereof the Lord said to Moses: Gather the people together, and I will give them water.
17 当时，以色列人唱歌说： 井啊，涌上水来！ 你们要向这井歌唱。
Then Israel sung this song: Let the well spring up. They sung thereto:
18 这井是首领和民中的尊贵人 用圭用杖所挖所掘的。 以色列人从旷野往玛他拿去，
The well, which the princes dug, and the chiefs of the people prepared by the direction of the lawgiver, and with their staves. And they marched from the wilderness to Mathana.
19 从玛他拿到拿哈列，从拿哈列到巴末，
From Mathana unto Nahaliel: from Nahaliel unto Bamoth.
20 从巴末到摩押地的谷，又到那下望旷野之毗斯迦的山顶。
From Bamoth, is a valley in the country of Moab, to the top of Phasga, which looked towards the desert.
21 以色列人差遣使者去见亚摩利人的王西宏，说：
And Israel sent messengers to Sehon king of the Amorrhites, saying:
22 “求你容我们从你的地经过；我们不偏入田间和葡萄园，也不喝井里的水，只走大道，直到过了你的境界。”
I beseech thee that I may have leave to pass through thy land: we will not go aside into the fields or the vineyards, we will not drink waters of the wells, we will go the king’s highway, till we be past thy borders.
23 西宏不容以色列人从他的境界经过，就招聚他的众民出到旷野，要攻击以色列人，到了雅杂与以色列人争战。
And he would not grant that Israel should pass by his borders: but rather gathering an army, went forth to meet them in the desert, and came to Jasa, and fought against them.
24 以色列人用刀杀了他，得了他的地，从亚嫩河到雅博河，直到亚扪人的境界，因为亚扪人的境界多有坚垒。
And he was slain by them with the edge of the sword, and they possessed his land from the Arnon unto the Jeboc, and to the confines of the children of Ammon: for the borders of the Ammonites, were kept with a strong garrison.
25 以色列人夺取这一切的城邑，也住亚摩利人的城邑，就是希实本与希实本的一切乡村。
So Israel took all his cities, and dwelt in the cities of the Amorrhite, to wit, in Hesebon, and in the villages thereof.
26 这希实本是亚摩利王西宏的京城；西宏曾与摩押的先王争战，从他手中夺取了全地，直到亚嫩河。
Hesebon was the city of Sehon the king of the Amorrhites, who fought against the king of Moab: and took all the land, that had been of his dominions, as far as the Arnon.
27 所以那些作诗歌的说： 你们来到希实本； 愿西宏的城被修造，被建立。
Therefore it is said in the proverb: Come into Hesebon, let the city of Sehon be built and set up:
28 因为有火从希实本发出， 有火焰出于西宏的城， 烧尽摩押的亚珥和亚嫩河邱坛的祭司 。
A fire is gone out of Hesebon, a flame from the city of Sehon, and hath consumed Ar of the Moabites, and the inhabitants of the high places of the Arnon.
29 摩押啊，你有祸了！ 基抹的民哪，你们灭亡了！ 基抹的男子逃奔， 女子被掳，交付亚摩利的王西宏。
Woe to thee Moab: thou art undone, O people of Chamos. He hath given his sons to flight, and his daughters into captivity to Sehon the king of the Amorrhites.
30 我们射了他们； 希实本直到底本尽皆毁灭。 我们使地变成荒场，直到挪法； 这挪法直延到米底巴。
Their yoke is perished from Hesebon unto Dibon, they came weary to Nophe, and unto Medaba.
31 这样，以色列人就住在亚摩利人之地。
So Israel dwelt in the land of the Amorrhite.
32 摩西打发人去窥探雅谢，以色列人就占了雅谢的镇市，赶出那里的亚摩利人。
And Moses sent some to take a view of Jazer: and they took the villages of it, and conquered the inhabitants.
33 以色列人转回，向巴珊去。巴珊王噩和他的众民都出来，在以得来与他们交战。
And they turned themselves, and went up by the way of Basan, and Og the king of Basan came against them with all his people, to fight in Edrai.
34 耶和华对摩西说：“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般。”
And the Lord said to Moses: Fear him not, for I have delivered him and all his people, and his country into thy hand: and thou shalt do to him as thou didst to Sehon the king of the Amorrhites, the inhabitant of Hesebon.
35 于是他们杀了他和他的众子，并他的众民，没有留下一个，就得了他的地。
So they slew him also with his sons, and all his people, not letting any one escape, and they possessed his land.
