Deuteronomy 2
1 “And setting out from there, we arrived at the wilderness which leads to the Red Sea, just as the Lord had spoken to me. And we encompassed Mount Seir for a long time.
“此后，我们转回，从红海的路往旷野去，是照耶和华所吩咐我的。我们在西珥山绕行了许多日子。
2 And the Lord said to me:
耶和华对我说：
3 ‘You have encompassed this mountain for long enough. Go forth, toward the north.
‘你们绕行这山的日子够了，要转向北去。
4 And instruct the people, saying: You shall cross through the borders of your brothers, the sons of Esau, who live at Seir, and they will fear you.
你吩咐百姓说：你们弟兄以扫的子孙住在西珥，你们要经过他们的境界。他们必惧怕你们，所以你们要分外谨慎。
5 Therefore, take care diligently, lest you be moved against them. For I will not give to you from their land even as much as the step that one foot can tread upon, because I have given Mount Seir to Esau as a possession.
不可与他们争战；他们的地，连脚掌可踏之处，我都不给你们，因我已将西珥山赐给以扫为业。
6 You shall buy food from them for money, and you shall eat. You shall draw water for money, and you shall drink.
你们要用钱向他们买粮吃，也要用钱向他们买水喝。
7 The Lord your God has blessed you in every work of your hands. The Lord your God, dwelling with you, knows your journey, how you crossed through this great wilderness over forty years, and how you have been lacking in nothing.’
因为耶和华—你的 神在你手里所办的一切事上已赐福与你。你走这大旷野，他都知道了。这四十年，耶和华—你的 神常与你同在，故此你一无所缺。’
8 And when we had passed through our brothers, the sons of Esau, who were living at Seir by the way of the plain from Elath and from Eziongeber, we arrived at the way which leads to the desert of Moab.
“于是，我们离了我们弟兄以扫子孙所住的西珥，从亚拉巴的路，经过以拉他、以旬·迦别，转向摩押旷野的路去。
9 And the Lord said to me: ‘You should not fight against the Moabites, nor should you go to battle against them. For I will not give to you anything from their land, because I have given Ar to the sons of Lot as a possession.’
耶和华吩咐我说：‘不可扰害摩押人，也不可与他们争战。他们的地，我不赐给你为业，因我已将亚珥赐给罗得的子孙为业。’
10 The Emim were the first of its inhabitants, a people great and strong, and of such great height, like the race of the Anakim.
先前，有以米人住在那里，民数众多，身体高大，像亚衲人一样。
11 They were considered to be like giants, and they were like the sons of the Anakim. And, indeed, the Moabites call them: the Emim.
这以米人像亚衲人；也算为利乏音人；摩押人称他们为以米人。
12 The Horites also formerly lived at Seir. When these had been driven out and destroyed, the sons of Esau lived there, just as Israel did in the land of his possession, which the Lord gave to him.
先前，何利人也住在西珥，但以扫的子孙将他们除灭，得了他们的地，接着居住，就如以色列在耶和华赐给他为业之地所行的一样。
13 Then, rising up so as to cross over the torrent Zered, we arrived at the place.
现在，起来过撒烈溪！于是我们过了撒烈溪。
14 Then, from the time that we advanced from Kadesh-barnea until we crossed over the torrent Zered, there were thirty-eight years, until the entire generation of the men who were fit for war had been consumed out of the camp, just as the Lord had sworn.
自从离开加低斯·巴尼亚，到过了撒烈溪的时候，共有三十八年，等那世代的兵丁都从营中灭尽，正如耶和华向他们所起的誓。
15 For his hand was against them, so that they would pass away from the midst of the camp.
耶和华的手也攻击他们，将他们从营中除灭，直到灭尽。
16 Then, after all the fighting men had fallen,
“兵丁从民中都灭尽死亡以后，
17 the Lord spoke to me, saying:
耶和华吩咐我说：
18 ‘Today, you shall cross the borders of Moab, at the city named Ar.
‘你今天要从摩押的境界亚珥经过，
19 And when you have arrived in the vicinity of the sons of Ammon, be careful that you do not fight against them, nor should you be moved to battle. For I will not give to you from the land of the sons of Ammon, because I have given it to the sons of Lot as a possession.’
走近亚扪人之地，不可扰害他们，也不可与他们争战。亚扪人的地，我不赐给你们为业，因我已将那地赐给罗得的子孙为业。’
20 It was reputed to be a land of giants. And giants lived there in times past, those whom the Ammonites call the Zamzummim.
那地也算为利乏音人之地，先前利乏音人住在那里，亚扪人称他们为散送冥。
21 They are a people, great and numerous, and of lofty stature, like the Anakim, whom the Lord wiped away before their face. And he caused them to live there in place of them,
那民众多，身体高大，像亚衲人一样，但耶和华从亚扪人面前除灭他们，亚扪人就得了他们的地，接着居住。
22 just as he had done for the sons of Esau, who live at Seir, wiping out the Horites and delivering their land to them, which they possess even to the present time.
正如耶和华从前为住西珥的以扫子孙将何利人从他们面前除灭、他们得了何利人的地、接着居住一样，直到今日。
23 Likewise the Hevites, who were living in small villages as far as Gaza, were expelled by the Cappadocians, who went forth from Cappadocia, and they wiped them out and lived in their place.
从迦斐托出来的迦斐托人将先前住在乡村直到迦萨的亚卫人除灭，接着居住。
24 ‘Rise up and cross the torrent Arnon! Behold, I have delivered Sihon, the king of Heshbon, the Amorite, into your hand, and so, begin to possess his land and to engage in battle against him.
你们起来前往，过亚嫩谷；我已将亚摩利人希实本王西宏和他的地交在你手中，你要与他争战，得他的地为业。
25 Today I will begin to send the terror and dread of you among the peoples who are living under all of heaven, so that, when they hear your name, they may be afraid, and may tremble in the manner of a woman giving birth, and may be gripped by anguish.’
从今日起，我要使天下万民听见你的名声都惊恐惧怕，且因你发颤伤恸。”
26 Therefore, I sent messengers from the wilderness of Kedemoth to Sihon, the king of Heshbon, with peaceful words, saying:
“我从基底莫的旷野差遣使者去见希实本王西宏，用和睦的话说：
27 ‘We will cross through your land. We will advance by the public way. We will not turn aside, neither to the right, nor to the left.
‘求你容我从你的地经过，只走大道，不偏左右。
28 Sell us food for a price, so that we may eat. Provide us with water for money, and so we will drink. We only ask that you allow us to pass through,
你可以卖粮给我吃，也可以卖水给我喝，只要容我步行过去，
29 just as the sons of Esau have done, who live at Seir, and the Moabites, who abide in Ar, until we arrive at the Jordan, and we cross to the land which the Lord our God will give to us.’
就如住西珥的以扫子孙和住亚珥的摩押人待我一样，等我过了约旦河，好进入耶和华—我们 神所赐给我们的地。’
30 And Sihon, the king of Heshbon, was not willing to grant passage to us. For the Lord your God had hardened his spirit, and had fastened his heart, so that he would be delivered into your hands, just as you now see.
但希实本王西宏不容我们从他那里经过；因为耶和华—你的 神使他心中刚硬，性情顽梗，为要将他交在你手中，像今日一样。
31 And the Lord said to me: ‘Behold, I have begun to deliver Sihon and his land to you. Begin to possess it.’
耶和华对我说：‘从此起首，我要将西宏和他的地交给你；你要得他的地为业。’
32 And Sihon went out to meet us with all his people, to battle at Jahaz.
那时，西宏和他的众民出来攻击我们，在雅杂与我们交战。
33 And the Lord our God delivered him to us. And we struck him down, with his sons and all his people.
耶和华—我们的 神将他交给我们，我们就把他和他的儿子，并他的众民，都击杀了。
34 And we seized all his cities at that time, putting to death their inhabitants: men as well as women and children. We left nothing of them,
我们夺了他的一切城邑，将有人烟的各城，连女人带孩子，尽都毁灭，没有留下一个。
35 except the cattle, which went to the share of those who plundered them. And we seized the spoils of the cities,
惟有牲畜和所夺的各城，并其中的财物，都取为自己的掠物。
36 from Aroer, which is above the bank of the torrent Arnon, a town which is situated in a valley, all the way to Gilead. There was not a village or city which escaped from our hands. The Lord our God delivered everything to us,
从亚嫩谷边的亚罗珥和谷中的城，直到基列，耶和华—我们的 神都交给我们了，没有一座城高得使我们不能攻取的。
37 except the land of the sons of Ammon, which we did not approach, and all that is adjacent to the torrent Jabbok, and the cities in the mountains, and all the places which the Lord our God prohibited to us.”
惟有亚扪人之地，凡靠近雅博河的地，并山地的城邑，与耶和华—我们 神所禁止我们去的地方，都没有挨近。”
