Deuteronomy 2
1 Then we went back, journeying into the waste land by the way to the Red Sea, as the Lord had said to me: and we were a long time going round Mount Seir.
「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。
2 And the Lord said to me,
耶和華對我說：
3 You have been journeying round this mountain long enough: now go to the north;
『你們繞行這山的日子夠了，要轉向北去。
4 And give the people orders, saying, You are about to go through the land of your brothers, the children of Esau, who are living in Seir; and they will have fear of you; so take care what you do:
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。
5 Make no attack on them, for I will not give you any of their land, not even space enough for a man's foot: because I have given Mount Seir to Esau for his heritage.
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。
6 You may get food for your needs from them for a price, and water for drinking.
你們要用錢向他們買糧吃，也要用錢向他們買水喝。
7 For the blessing of the Lord your God has been on you in all the work of your hands: he has knowledge of your wanderings through this great waste: these forty years the Lord your God has been with you, and you have been short of nothing.
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。』
8 So we went on past our brothers, the children of Esau, living in Seir, by the road through the Arabah, from Elath and Ezion-geber. And turning, we went by the road through the waste land of Moab.
「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。
9 And the Lord said to me, Make no attack on Moab and do not go to war with them, for I will not give you any of his land: because I have given Ar to the children of Lot for their heritage.
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。』（
10 (In the past the Emim were living there; a great people, equal in numbers to the Anakim and as tall;
先前，有以米人住在那裏，民數眾多，身體高大，像亞衲人一樣。
11 They are numbered among the Rephaim, like the Anakim; but are named Emim by the Moabites.
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。
12 And the Horites in earlier times were living in Seir, but the children of Esau took their place; they sent destruction on them and took their land for themselves, as Israel did to the land of his heritage which the Lord gave them.)
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。）
13 Get up now, and go over the stream Zered. So we went over the stream Zered.
現在，起來過撒烈溪！於是我們過了撒烈溪。
14 Thirty-eight years had gone by from the time when we came away from Kadesh-barnea till we went over the stream Zered; by that time all the generation of the men of war among us were dead, as the Lord had said.
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。
15 For the hand of the Lord was against them, working their destruction, till all were dead.
耶和華的手也攻擊他們，將他們從營中除滅，直到滅盡。
16 So when death had overtaken all the men of war among the people,
「兵丁從民中都滅盡死亡以後，
17 The word of the Lord came to me, saying,
耶和華吩咐我說：
18 You are about to go by Ar, the limit of the country of Moab;
『你今天要從摩押的境界亞珥經過，
19 And when you come near the land of the children of Ammon, give them no cause of trouble and do not make war on them, for I will not give you any of the land of the children of Ammon for your heritage: because I have given it to the children of Lot.
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。』（
20 (That land is said to have been a land of the Rephaim, for Rephaim had been living there in earlier times, but they were named Zamzummim by the Ammonites;
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。
21 They were a great people, tall as the Anakim, and equal to them in number; but the Lord sent destruction on them and the children of Ammon took their place, living in their land;
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。
22 As he did for the children of Esau living in Seir, when he sent destruction on the Horites before them, and they took their land where they are living to this day:
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。
23 And the Avvim, living in the small towns as far as Gaza, came to destruction by the hands of the Caphtorim who came out from Caphtor and took their land.)
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。）
24 Get up now, and go on your journey, crossing over the valley of the Arnon: see, I have given into your hands Sihon, the Amorite, king of Heshbon, and all his land: go forward to make it yours, and make war on him,
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。
25 From now on I will put the fear of you in all peoples under heaven, who, hearing of you, will be shaking with fear and grief of heart because of you.
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。」
26 Then from the waste land of Kedemoth I sent representatives to Sihon, king of Heshbon, with words of peace, saying,
「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：
27 Let me go through your land: I will keep to the highway, not turning to the right or to the left;
『求你容我從你的地經過，只走大道，不偏左右。
28 Let me have food, at a price, for my needs, and water for drinking: only let me go through on foot;
你可以賣糧給我吃，也可以賣水給我喝，只要容我步行過去，
29 As the children of Esau did for me in Seir and the Moabites in Ar; till I have gone over Jordan into the land which the Lord our God is giving us.
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。』
30 But Sihon, king of Heshbon, would not let us go through; for the Lord your God made his spirit hard and his heart strong, so that he might give him up into your hands as at this day.
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。
31 And the Lord said to me, See, from now on I have given Sihon and his land into your hands: go forward now to take his land and make it yours.
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。』
32 Then Sihon came out against us with all his people, to make an attack on us at Jahaz.
那時，西宏和他的眾民出來攻擊我們，在雅雜與我們交戰。
33 And the Lord our God gave him into our hands; and we overcame him and his sons and all his people.
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。
34 At that time we took all his towns, and gave them over to complete destruction, together with men, women, and children; we had no mercy on any:
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。
35 Only the cattle we took for ourselves, with the goods from the towns we had taken.
惟有牲畜和所奪的各城，並其中的財物，都取為自己的掠物。
36 From Aroer on the edge of the valley of the Arnon and from the town in the valley as far as Gilead, no town was strong enough to keep us out; the Lord our God gave them all into our hands:
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。
37 But you did not go near the land of the children of Ammon, that is, all the side of the river Jabbok or the towns of the hill-country, wherever the Lord our God had said we were not to go.
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。」
