申命記 2
1 「此後，我們轉回，從紅海的路往曠野去，是照耶和華所吩咐我的。我們在西珥山繞行了許多日子。
And we turned and departed into the wilderness, by the way of the Red Sea, as the Lord spoke to me, and we compassed mount Seir many days.
2 耶和華對我說：
And the Lord said to me,
3 『你們繞行這山的日子夠了，要轉向北去。
You have compassed this mount long enough; turn therefore towards the north.
4 你吩咐百姓說：你們弟兄以掃的子孫住在西珥，你們要經過他們的境界。他們必懼怕你們，所以你們要分外謹慎。
And charge the people, saying, You are going through the borders of your brethren the children of Esau, who dwell in Seir; and they shall fear you, and dread you greatly.
5 不可與他們爭戰；他們的地，連腳掌可踏之處，我都不給你們，因我已將西珥山賜給以掃為業。
Do not engage in war against them, for I will not give you of their land even enough to set your foot upon, for I have given mount Seir to the children of Esau as an inheritance.
6 你們要用錢向他們買糧吃，也要用錢向他們買水喝。
Buy food of them for money and eat, and you shall receive water of them by measure for money, and drink.
7 因為耶和華－你的上帝在你手裏所辦的一切事上已賜福與你。你走這大曠野，他都知道了。這四十年，耶和華－你的上帝常與你同在，故此你一無所缺。』
For the Lord our God has blessed you in every work of your hands. Consider how you went through that great and terrible wilderness: behold, the Lord your God [has been] with you forty years; you did not lack any thing.
8 「於是，我們離了我們弟兄以掃子孫所住的西珥，從亞拉巴的路，經過以拉他、以旬‧迦別，轉向摩押曠野的路去。
And we passed by our brethren the children of Esau, who lived in Seir, by the way of Araba from Aelon and from Gesion Gaber; and we turned and passed by the way of the desert of Moab.
9 耶和華吩咐我說：『不可擾害摩押人，也不可與他們爭戰。他們的地，我不賜給你為業，因我已將亞珥賜給羅得的子孫為業。』（
And the Lord said to me, Do not you quarrel with the Moabites, and do not engage in war with them; for I will not give you of their land for an inheritance, for I have given Aroer to the children of Lot to inherit.
10 先前，有以米人住在那裏，民數眾多，身體高大，像亞衲人一樣。
Formerly the Ommin lived in it, a great and numerous nation and powerful, like the Enakim.
11 這以米人像亞衲人；也算為利乏音人；摩押人稱他們為以米人。
These also shall be accounted Raphain like the Enakim; and the Moabites call them Ommin.
12 先前，何利人也住在西珥，但以掃的子孫將他們除滅，得了他們的地，接着居住，就如以色列在耶和華賜給他為業之地所行的一樣。）
And the Chorrhite lived in Seir before, and the sons of Esau destroyed them, and utterly consumed them from before them; and they lived in their place, as Israel did to the land of his inheritance, which the Lord gave to them.
13 現在，起來過撒烈溪！於是我們過了撒烈溪。
Now then, arise you, [said I], and depart, and cross the valley of Zaret.
14 自從離開加低斯‧巴尼亞，到過了撒烈溪的時候，共有三十八年，等那世代的兵丁都從營中滅盡，正如耶和華向他們所起的誓。
And the days in which we travelled from Cades Barne till we crossed the valley of Zaret, [were] thirty and eight years, until the whole generation of the men of war failed, dying out of the camp, as the Lord God sware to them.
15 耶和華的手也攻擊他們，將他們從營中除滅，直到滅盡。
And the hand of the Lord was upon them to destroy them out of the midst of the camp, until they were consumed.
16 「兵丁從民中都滅盡死亡以後，
And it came to pass when all the men of war dying out of the midst of the people had fallen,
17 耶和華吩咐我說：
that the Lord spoke to me, saying,
18 『你今天要從摩押的境界亞珥經過，
You shall pass over this day the borders of Moab to Aroer;
19 走近亞捫人之地，不可擾害他們，也不可與他們爭戰。亞捫人的地，我不賜給你們為業，因我已將那地賜給羅得的子孫為業。』（
and you shall draw near to the children of Amman: do not quarrel with them, nor wage war with them; for I will not give you of the land of the children of Amman for an inheritance, because I have given it to the children of Lot for an inheritance.
20 那地也算為利乏音人之地，先前利乏音人住在那裏，亞捫人稱他們為散送冥。
It shall be accounted a land of Raphain, for the Raphain lived there before, and the Ammanites call them Zochommin.
21 那民眾多，身體高大，像亞衲人一樣，但耶和華從亞捫人面前除滅他們，亞捫人就得了他們的地，接着居住。
A great nation and populous, and mightier than you, as also the Enakim: yet the Lord destroyed them from before them, and they inherited [their land], and they lived [there] instead of them until this day.
22 正如耶和華從前為住西珥的以掃子孫將何利人從他們面前除滅、他們得了何利人的地、接着居住一樣，直到今日。
As they did to the children of Esau that dwell in Seir, even as they destroyed the Chorrhite from before them, and inherited their country, and lived [therein] instead of them until this day.
23 從迦斐託出來的迦斐託人將先前住在鄉村直到迦薩的亞衛人除滅，接着居住。）
And the Evites who dwell in Asedoth to Gaza, and the Cappadocians who came out of Cappadocia, destroyed them, and lived in their room.
24 你們起來前往，過亞嫩谷；我已將亞摩利人希實本王西宏和他的地交在你手中，你要與他爭戰，得他的地為業。
Now then arise and depart, and pass over the valley of Arnon: behold, I have delivered into your hands Seon the king of Esebon the Amorite, and his land: begin to inherit [it]: engage in war with him this day.
25 從今日起，我要使天下萬民聽見你的名聲都驚恐懼怕，且因你發顫傷慟。」
Begin to put your terror and your fear on the face of all the nations under heaven, who shall be troubled when they have heard your name, and shall be in anguish before you.
26 「我從基底莫的曠野差遣使者去見希實本王西宏，用和睦的話說：
And I sent ambassadors from the wilderness of Kedamoth to Seon king of Esebon with peaceful words, saying,
27 『求你容我從你的地經過，只走大道，不偏左右。
I will pass through your land: I will go by the road, I will not turn aside to the right hand or to the left.
28 你可以賣糧給我吃，也可以賣水給我喝，只要容我步行過去，
You shall give me food for money, and I will eat; and you shall give me water for money, and I will drink; I will only go through on my feet:
29 就如住西珥的以掃子孫和住亞珥的摩押人待我一樣，等我過了約旦河，好進入耶和華－我們上帝所賜給我們的地。』
as the sons of Esau did to me, who lived in Seir, and the Moabites who lived in Aroer, until I shall have passed Jordan into the land which the Lord our God gives us.
30 但希實本王西宏不容我們從他那裏經過；因為耶和華－你的上帝使他心中剛硬，性情頑梗，為要將他交在你手中，像今日一樣。
And Seon king of Esebon would not that we should pass by him, because the Lord our God hardened his spirit, and made his heart stubborn, that he might be delivered into your hands, as on this day.
31 耶和華對我說：『從此起首，我要將西宏和他的地交給你；你要得他的地為業。』
And the Lord said to me, Behold, I have begun to deliver before you Seon the king of Esebon the Amorite, and his land, and do you begin to inherit his land.
32 那時，西宏和他的眾民出來攻擊我們，在雅雜與我們交戰。
And Seon the king of Esebon came forth to meet us, he and all his people to war at Jassa.
33 耶和華－我們的上帝將他交給我們，我們就把他和他的兒子，並他的眾民，都擊殺了。
And the Lord our God delivered him before our face, and we struck him, and his sons, and all his people.
34 我們奪了他的一切城邑，將有人煙的各城，連女人帶孩子，盡都毀滅，沒有留下一個。
And we took possession of all his cities at that time, and we utterly destroyed every city in succession, and their wives, and their children; we left no living prey.
35 惟有牲畜和所奪的各城，並其中的財物，都取為自己的掠物。
Only we took the cattle captive, and took the spoil of the cities.
36 從亞嫩谷邊的亞羅珥和谷中的城，直到基列，耶和華－我們的上帝都交給我們了，沒有一座城高得使我們不能攻取的。
From Aroer, which is by the brink of the brook of Arnon, and the city which is in the valley, and as far as the mount of Galaad; there was not a city which escaped us: the Lord our God delivered all of them into our hands.
37 惟有亞捫人之地，凡靠近雅博河的地，並山地的城邑，與耶和華－我們上帝所禁止我們去的地方，都沒有挨近。」
Only we did not draw near to the children of Amman, even all the parts bordering on the brook Jaboc, and the cities in the mountain country, as the Lord our God charged us.
