< Deuteronomy 3 >
1 “And so, having turned back, we ascended by the way of Bashan. And Og, the king of Bashan, went forth with his people to meet us in warfare at Edrei.
然後我們轉向巴商進發;巴商王敖格和他所有的民眾出來攻擊我們,在厄德勒與我們交戰。
2 And the Lord said to me: ‘You should not fear him. For he has been delivered into your hand, with all his people as well as his land. And you shall do to him just as you have done to Sihon, the king of the Amorites, who lived at Heshbon.’
上主對我說:「你不要怕他,因為我已將他、他所有的民眾和土地都交在你手中;你對待他,應如對待住在赫市朋的阿摩黎人王息紅一樣。」
3 Therefore, the Lord our God delivered into our hands, now Og, the king of Bashan, and all his people. And we struck them down unto utter annihilation,
上主我們的天主也將巴商王敖格,和他所有的民眾交在我們的手中;我們擊殺了他,一個也沒有給他留下。
4 laying waste to all his cities at one time. There was not a village which escaped from us: sixty cities, the entire region of Argob, the kingdom of Og, in Bashan.
同時我們佔領了他所有的城邑,沒有一座城不為我們所佔領;巴商王敖格的國土,阿爾哥布全地區共有六十座城邑,
5 All the cities were fortified with very high walls, and with gates and bars, in addition to innumerable villages which had no walls.
都是些具有高闊的城牆,安門置閂,設防的城邑;此外尚有很多無圍牆的村莊。
6 And we wiped them out, just as we had done to Sihon, the king of Heshbon, destroying every city, and its men, as well as women and children.
我們照毀滅律毀滅了這些城邑,有如對赫市朋王息紅所做的一樣,殺盡了各城中的男女和幼童,
7 But the cattle and the spoils of the cities, we plundered.
只留下了牲畜和由佔領的城中所奪的財物,作我們的戰利品。
8 And at that time, we took the land from the hand of the two kings of the Amorites, who were across the Jordan: from the torrent Arnon as far as Mount Hermon,
這樣,我們在那時,由這兩個阿摩黎人王的手中,奪得了約但河東岸的土地,自阿爾農河直到赫爾孟山。 [
9 which the Sidonians call Sirion, and the Amorites call Senir,
漆冬人稱赫爾孟為息爾翁;阿摩黎人則稱之為色尼爾。]
10 all the cities that are situated in the plain, and the entire land of Gilead and Bashan, all the way to Salecah and Edrei, cities of the kingdom of Og in Bashan.
即奪得了高原上所有的城邑,全基肋阿得和全巴商,直到撒耳加和厄德勒:這都是巴商王敖格國土內的城邑。 [
11 For only Og, the king of Bashan, was left behind out of the race of the giants. His bed of iron is on display, (it is in Rabbah, among the sons of Ammon) being nine cubits in length, and four in width, according to the measure of the cubit of a man’s hand.
巴商王敖格是勒法因人遺族中僅存的人物;他的床是鐵做的,以人肘為度,長九肘,寬四肘,尚存在阿孟子民的辣巴城裏。]
12 And we possessed the land, at that time, from Aroer, which is above the bank of the torrent Arnon, as far as the middle of Mount Gilead. And I gave its cities to Ruben and Gad.
我由我們那時所佔領的土地中,將阿爾農河邊的阿洛厄爾以北的地方,基肋阿得山地的一半和境內的城邑,給了勒烏本人和加得人;
13 Then I delivered the remaining part of Gilead, and all of Bashan, the kingdom of Og, which is the entire region of Argob, to one half of the tribe of Manasseh. And all of Bashan is called the land of the giants.
基肋阿得其餘的地方和全巴商,即敖格的國土給了默納協半個支派。 [人稱阿爾哥布全地區,即全巴商,為「勒法因人地。」
14 Jair, the son of Manasseh, possessed all the region of Argob, as far as the borders of Geshur and Maacath. And he called Bashan by his own name, Havvoth Jair, that is, the villages of Jair, even to the present day.
默納協的兒子雅依爾,佔領了阿爾哥布地區,直到革叔爾人和瑪阿加人的邊界,遂按自己的名字稱那地為「哈沃特雅依爾,」直到今日。]
15 Likewise, to Machir, I gave Gilead.
我又將基肋阿得給了瑪基爾。
16 And to the tribes of Ruben and Gad, I gave from the land of Gilead as far as the torrent Arnon, one half of the torrent and its confines, even to the torrent Jabbok, which is along the border of the sons of Ammon,
由基肋阿得到阿爾農河,以河中心為邊界,直到雅波克河,即阿孟人的邊界,我將那一帶地方給了勒烏本人和加得人;
17 and the plain of the wilderness, as well as the Jordan, and the borders of Chinnereth, all the way to the sea of the desert, which is very salty, to the base of Mount Pisgah toward the east.
還有阿辣巴荒野,以約但河為界,從基乃勒特直到阿辣巴海,即直到東面靠近丕斯加山坡的鹽海一帶地方。
18 And I instructed you at that time, saying: ‘The Lord your God gives to you this land as an inheritance. Having armed yourselves, go before your brothers, the sons of Israel, all you strong men.
那時我吩咐你們說:「上主你們的天主,將這地賜給了你們作產業,但你們所有戰士,應武裝起來,走在你們兄弟以色列子民前面,
19 Leave behind your wives and little ones, as well as the cattle. For I know that you have many cattle, and they should remain in the cities which I have delivered to you,
只有你們的婦孺和牲畜,──我知道你們有很多牲畜-可留在我給你們的城內,
20 until the Lord provides rest to your brothers, just as he has provided for you. And they, too, shall possess the land, which he will give to them beyond the Jordan. Then each one shall return to his possession, which I have allotted to you.’
直到上主使你們的兄弟如你們一樣有了安身之處,等他們也佔領了,上主你們的天主賜給他們的約但河西的地方,那時你們各人才可回到我給你們為產業的地方。
21 Likewise, I instructed Joshua at that time, saying: ‘Your eyes have seen what the Lord your God has done to these two kings. So also will he do to all the kingdoms through which you shall pass.
同時我也吩咐若蘇厄說:你親眼看見了,上主你們的天主對這兩個國王所做的一切;上主必同樣對待你要過河去攻擊的一切王國。
22 You should not fear them. For the Lord your God will fight on your behalf.’
不要怕他們,因為上主你們的天主要替你們作戰。」
23 And I beseeched the Lord at that time, saying:
那時我哀求天主說:「
24 ‘Lord God, you have begun to reveal your greatness and your very strong hand to your servant. For there is no other god, either in heaven or on earth, who is able to accomplish your works, or to be compared to your strength.
我主,上主! 你已開始向你的僕人顯示你的偉大和你有力的手臂,天上地下有那個神能作你所作的工作,行你所行的奇事﹖
25 Therefore, I will cross over, and I will view this excellent land beyond the Jordan, and this singular mountain, and Lebanon.’
求你讓我過去,得見約但河西的肥美土地,那壯麗的山嶺和黎巴嫩。」
26 And the Lord became angry with me because of you, and he would not heed me. But he said to me: ‘It is enough for you. You shall no longer speak to me at all about this matter.
但是上主為了你們的緣故對我發怒,沒有俯聽我,且對我說,「罷了! 不要對我再提這事。
27 Ascend to the summit of Pisgah, and look around with your eyes to the west, and to the north, and to the south, and to the east, and behold it. For you shall not cross this Jordan.
你上丕斯加山頂去,舉目向東西南北,好好觀看,因為你不能過這約但河。
28 Instruct Joshua, and encourage and strengthen him. For he shall go before this people, and he shall distribute to them the land that you will see.’
你應訓示若蘇厄,堅固他,鼓勵他,因為他要率領這百姓過去,給他們分配你所觀看的地方。」
29 And we remained in the valley, opposite the shrine of Peor.”
那時我們住在貝特培敖爾對面的山谷中。
