Deuteronomy 2
1 Then we turned back and headed for the wilderness by way of the Red Sea, as the LORD had instructed me, and for many days we wandered around Mount Seir.
Profectique inde venimus in solitudinem, quæ ducit ad Mare Rubrum, sicut mihi dixerat Dominus: et circuivimus montem Seir longo tempore.
2 At this time the LORD said to me,
Dixitque Dominus ad me:
3 “You have been wandering around this hill country long enough; turn to the north
Sufficit vobis circuire montem istum: ite contra Aquilonem:
4 and command the people: ‘You will pass through the territory of your brothers, the descendants of Esau, who live in Seir. They will be afraid of you, so you must be very careful.
et populo præcipe, dicens: Transibitis per terminos fratrum vestrorum filiorum Esau, qui habitant in Seir, et timebunt vos.
5 Do not provoke them, for I will not give you any of their land, not even a footprint, because I have given Mount Seir to Esau as his possession.
Videte ergo diligenter ne moveamini contra eos. Neque enim dabo vobis de terra eorum quantum potest unius pedis calcare vestigium, quia in possessionem Esau dedi montem Seir.
6 You are to pay them in silver for the food you eat and the water you drink.’”
Cibos emetis ab eis pecunia, et comedetis: aquam emptam haurietis, et bibetis.
7 Indeed, the LORD your God has blessed you in all the work of your hands. He has watched over your journey through this vast wilderness. The LORD your God has been with you these forty years, and you have lacked nothing.
Dominus Deus tuus benedixit tibi in omni opere manuum tuarum: novit iter tuum, quomodo transieris solitudinem hanc magnam, per quadraginta annos habitans tecum Dominus Deus tuus, et nihil tibi defuit.
8 So we passed by our brothers, the descendants of Esau, who live in Seir. We turned away from the Arabah road, which comes up from Elath and Ezion-geber, and traveled along the road of the Wilderness of Moab.
Cumque transissemus fratres nostros filios Esau, qui habitabant in Seir, per viam campestrem de Elath, et de Asiongaber, venimus ad iter, quod ducit in desertum Moab.
9 Then the LORD said to me, “Do not harass the Moabites or provoke them to war, for I will not give you any of their land, because I have given Ar to the descendants of Lot as their possession.”
Dixitque Dominus ad me: Non pugnes contra Moabitas, nec ineas adversus eos prælium: non enim dabo tibi quidquam de terra eorum, quia filiis Loth tradidi Ar in possessionem.
10 (The Emites used to live there, a people great and many, as tall as the Anakites.
Emim primi fuerunt habitatores eius, populus magnus, et validus, et tam excelsus ut de Enacim stirpe,
11 Like the Anakites, they were also regarded as Rephaim, though the Moabites called them Emites.
quasi gigantes crederentur, et essent similes filiorum Enacim. Denique Moabitæ appellant eos Emim.
12 The Horites used to live in Seir, but the descendants of Esau drove them out. They destroyed the Horites from before them and settled in their place, just as Israel did in the land that the LORD gave them as their possession.)
In Seir autem prius habitaverunt Horrhæi: quibus expulsis atque deletis, habitaverunt filii Esau, sicut fecit Israel in terra possessionis suæ, quam dedit illi Dominus.
13 “Now arise and cross over the Brook of Zered.” So we crossed over the Brook of Zered.
Surgentes ergo ut transiremus Torrentem Zared, venimus ad eum.
14 The time we spent traveling from Kadesh-barnea until we crossed over the Brook of Zered was thirty-eight years, until that entire generation of fighting men had perished from the camp, as the LORD had sworn to them.
Tempus autem, quo ambulavimus de Cadesbarne usque ad transitum torrentis Zared, triginta et octo annorum fuit: donec consumeretur omnis generatio hominum bellatorum de castris, sicut iuraverat Dominus:
15 Indeed, the LORD’s hand was against them, to eliminate them from the camp, until they had all perished.
cuius manus fuit adversum eos, ut interirent de castrorum medio.
16 Now when all the fighting men among the people had died,
Postquam autem universi ceciderunt pugnatores,
17 the LORD said to me,
locutus est Dominus ad me, dicens:
18 “Today you are going to cross the border of Moab at Ar.
Tu transibis hodie terminos Moab, urbem nomine Ar:
19 But when you get close to the Ammonites, do not harass them or provoke them, for I will not give you any of the land of the Ammonites. I have given it to the descendants of Lot as their possession.”
et accedens in vicina filiorum Ammon, cave ne pugnes contra eos, nec movearis ad prælium: non enim dabo tibi de terra filiorum Ammon, quia filiis Loth dedi eam in possessionem.
20 (That too was regarded as the land of the Rephaim, who used to live there, though the Ammonites called them Zamzummites.
Terra gigantum reputata est: et in ipsa olim habitaverunt gigantes, quos Ammonitæ vocant Zomzommim,
21 They were a people great and many, as tall as the Anakites. But the LORD destroyed them from before the Ammonites, who drove them out and settled in their place,
populus magnus, et multus, et proceræ longitudinis, sicut Enacim, quos delevit Dominus a facie eorum: et fecit illos habitare pro eis,
22 just as He had done for the descendants of Esau who lived in Seir, when He destroyed the Horites from before them. They drove them out and have lived in their place to this day.
sicut fecerat filiis Esau, qui habitant in Seir, delens Horrhæos, et terram eorum illis tradens, quam possident usque in præsens.
23 And the Avvim, who lived in villages as far as Gaza, were destroyed by the Caphtorites, who came out of Caphtor and settled in their place.)
Hevæos quoque, qui habitabant in Haserim usque Gazan, Cappadoces expulerunt: qui egressi de Cappadocia deleverunt eos, et habitaverunt pro illis.
24 “Arise, set out, and cross the Arnon Valley. See, I have delivered into your hand Sihon the Amorite, king of Heshbon, and his land. Begin to take possession of it and engage him in battle.
Surgite, et transite torrentem Arnon: ecce tradidi in manu tua Sehon regem Hesebon Amorrhæum, et terram eius incipe possidere, et committe adversus eum prælium.
25 This very day I will begin to put the dread and fear of you upon all the nations under heaven. They will hear the reports of you and tremble in anguish because of you.”
Hodie incipiam mittere terrorem atque formidinem tuam in populos, qui habitant sub omni cælo: ut audito nomine tuo paveant, et in morem parturientium contremiscant, et dolore teneantur.
26 So from the Wilderness of Kedemoth I sent messengers with an offer of peace to Sihon king of Heshbon, saying,
Misi ergo nuncios de solitudine Cademoth ad Sehon regem Hesebon verbis pacificis, dicens:
27 “Let us pass through your land; we will stay on the main road. We will not turn to the right or to the left.
Transibimus per terram tuam, publica gradiemur via: non declinabimus neque ad dexteram, neque ad sinistram.
28 You can sell us food to eat and water to drink in exchange for silver. Only let us pass through on foot,
Alimenta pretio vende nobis, ut vescamur: aquam pecunia tribue, et sic bibemus. Tantum est ut nobis concedas transitum,
29 just as the descendants of Esau who live in Seir and the Moabites who live in Ar did for us, until we cross the Jordan into the land that the LORD our God is giving us.”
sicut fecerunt filii Esau, qui habitant in Seir, et Moabitæ, qui morantur in Ar: donec veniamus ad Iordanem, et transeamus ad Terram, quam Dominus Deus noster daturus est nobis.
30 But Sihon king of Heshbon would not let us pass through, for the LORD your God had made his spirit stubborn and his heart obstinate, that He might deliver him into your hand, as is the case this day.
Noluitque Sehon rex Hesebon dare nobis transitum: quia induraverat Dominus Deus tuus spiritum eius, et obfirmaverat cor illius, ut traderetur in manus tuas, sicut nunc vides.
31 Then the LORD said to me, “See, I have begun to deliver Sihon and his land over to you. Now begin to conquer and possess his land.”
Dixitque Dominus ad me: Ecce cœpi tibi tradere Sehon, et terram eius, incipe possidere eam.
32 So Sihon and his whole army came out for battle against us at Jahaz.
Egressusque est Sehon obviam nobis cum omni populo suo ad prælium in Iasa.
33 And the LORD our God delivered him over to us, and we defeated him and his sons and his whole army.
Et tradidit eum Dominus Deus noster nobis: percussimusque eum cum filiis suis et omni populo suo.
34 At that time we captured all his cities and devoted to destruction the people of every city, including women and children. We left no survivors.
Cunctasque urbes in tempore illo cepimus, interfectis habitatoribus earum, viris ac mulieribus et parvulis. Non reliquimus in eis quidquam.
35 We carried off for ourselves only the livestock and the plunder from the cities we captured.
Absque iumentis, quæ in partem venere prædantium: et spoliis urbium, quas cepimus
36 From Aroer on the rim of the Arnon Valley, along with the city in the valley, even as far as Gilead, not one city had walls too high for us. The LORD our God gave us all of them.
ab Aroer, quæ est super ripam torrentis Arnon, oppido quod in valle situm est, usque Galaad. Non fuit vicus et civitas, quæ nostras effugeret manus: omnes tradidit Dominus Deus noster nobis.
37 But you did not go near the land of the Ammonites, or the land along the banks of the Jabbok River, or the cities of the hill country, or any place that the LORD our God had forbidden.
Absque terra filiorum Ammon, ad quam non accessimus: et cunctis quæ adiacent torrenti Ieboc, et urbibus montanis, universisque locis, a quibus nos prohibuit Dominus Deus noster.
