Deuteronomy 2
1 And we turned, and took our journey into the wilderness by the way of the Red sea, as Jehovah had said unto me; and we went round mount Seir many days.
以後，我們照上主對我吩咐，的轉向紅海出發，往曠野進行，我們圍著色依爾山地繞行了很久。
2 And Jehovah spoke to me, saying,
那時上主對我說：「
3 Ye have gone round this mountain long enough: turn you northward.
你們繞行這山地已夠久了，如今該轉向北方。
4 And command the people, saying, Ye are to pass through the border of your brethren the children of Esau, who dwell in Seir; and they will be afraid of you; and ye shall be very guarded:
你吩咐人民說：你們要經過你們的兄弟厄撒烏子孫所住的色依爾地區；他們必畏懼你們，但你們卻應小心，
5 attack them not; for I will not give you of their land, no, not so much as a foot-breadth; for I have given mount Seir as a possession unto Esau.
不要與他們挑戰，因為他們的地，連腳掌那麼大的一塊地，我也沒有給你們，因為我已將色依爾山地給了厄撒烏作產業。
6 Ye shall buy of them food for money, that ye may eat; and water shall ye also buy of them for money, that ye may drink;
你們應用錢向他們買糧吃，用錢向他們買水喝。
7 for Jehovah thy God hath blessed thee in all the work of thy hand. He hath known thy walking through this great wilderness: these forty years hath Jehovah thy God been with thee; thou hast lacked nothing.
的確，上主你的天主祝福了你所作的一切，護衛你經過了這遼闊的曠野，這四十年來，上主你的天主常與你同在，使你什麼也不曾缺少。」
8 And we passed by from our brethren the children of Esau, who dwelt in Seir, by the plain, by Elath, and by Ezion-geber, and we turned and passed by the way of the wilderness of Moab.
於是我們繞過了我們的兄弟厄撒烏的子孫所住的色依爾，沿阿辣巴路到了厄拉特，和厄茲雍革貝爾，然後轉向摩阿布曠野進發。
9 And Jehovah said to me, Distress not the Moabites, neither engage with them in battle; for I will not give thee of their land a possession; for unto the children of Lot have I given Ar as a possession.
那時上主對我說：「不要擾亂摩阿布人，不要與他們挑戰，他們的土地我一點也不會給你作產業，因為我已將阿爾給了羅特子孫作產業。 [
10 (The Emim dwelt therein in times past, a people great, and many, and tall as the Anakim.
原先住在那裏的，是強大眾多，身材魁偉像阿納克人的厄明民族。
11 They also are reckoned as giants like the Anakim; but the Moabites call them Emim.
他們像阿納克人一樣，也算是勒法因人，但摩阿布人卻稱他們為厄明人。
12 And in Seir dwelt the Horites in times past; and the children of Esau dispossessed them, and destroyed them from before them, and dwelt in their stead; as Israel did to the land of their possession, which Jehovah gave to them.)
同樣，在色依爾原先住有曷黎人；但厄撒烏的子孫侵佔了他們的產業，消滅了他們，住在他們境內，就如以色列人對上主賜給他們作產業的土地所做的一樣。]
13 Now rise up, and pass over the torrent Zered. And we passed over the torrent Zered.
你們現在起身，過則勒得溪。」我們就過了則勒得溪。
14 Now the days in which we came from Kadesh-barnea, until we had come over the torrent Zered, were thirty-eight years; until the whole generation of the men of war was consumed from the midst of the camp, as Jehovah had sworn unto them.
從離開卡德士巴爾乃亞到我們過則勒得溪所用的時間，共計三十八年，直到能作戰的那一代，照上主對他們所起的誓，由營中完全消滅。
15 Moreover the hand of Jehovah was against them to destroy them from the midst of the camp, until they were consumed.
實在是上主的手攻擊了他們，使他們由營中完全消滅。
16 And it came to pass when all the men of war were consumed, having died off from among the people,
所有的戰士由民中死盡以後，
17 that Jehovah spoke to me, saying,
上主吩咐我說：「
18 Thou art to pass this day over the border of Moab, [which is] Ar,
你今天路過摩阿布的領土，即阿爾，
19 and come near over against the children of Ammon; thou shalt not distress them nor attack them; for I will not give thee of the land of the children of Ammon a possession; for unto the children of Lot have I given it as a possession.
就要面臨阿孟子民；但不要擾亂他們，不要與他們挑戰，阿孟子民的土地我一點也不會給你作產業，因為我已將這地給了羅特子孫作產業。 [
20 (That also is reckoned a land of giants: giants dwelt therein in time past, and the Ammonites call them Zamzummim;
這地也算是勒法因人地，勒法因人先前住在那裏，阿孟人稱他們為「匝默組明。」
21 a people great, and many, and tall as the Anakim; and Jehovah destroyed them before them, and they dispossessed them, and dwelt in their stead;
他們像阿納克人一樣，是強大眾多，身材魁偉的民族；但上主卻由阿孟人面前消滅了他們，使阿孟人佔有他們的產業，住在他們境內，
22 as he did to the children of Esau, who dwelt in Seir, from before whom he destroyed the Horites; and they dispossessed them, and dwelt in their stead, even to this day.
正如上主為住在色依爾的厄撒烏子孫所做的一樣：即由他們面前消滅了曷黎人，使厄撒烏的子孫佔有他們的產業，住在他們的境內，直到今日。
23 And the Avvites who dwelt in the hamlets as far as Gazah — the Caphtorim, who came out of Caphtor, destroyed them, and dwelt in their stead.)
同樣，阿威人原先住在迦薩附近各村莊內，有加非托爾人由加非托爾來，將他們消滅，住在他們境內。]
24 Rise up, take your journey, and pass over the river Arnon. Behold, I have given into thy hand Sihon the king of Heshbon, the Amorite, and his land: begin, take possession, and engage with him in battle.
你們起身出發，過阿爾農河。看，我已將阿摩黎人赫市朋王息紅和他的土地交在你手中；進軍佔領，與他交戰。
25 This day will I begin to put the dread of thee and the fear of thee upon the peoples under the whole heaven; who will hear report of thee, and will tremble, and quake because of thee.
從今日起，我要使天下萬民在你面前驚慌害怕，使他們一聽見你的消息就戰慄；一看見你的面目就發抖。」
26 And I sent messengers out of the wilderness of Kedemoth unto Sihon the king of Heshbon with words of peace, saying,
我於是由刻德摩特曠野，派遣使者到赫市朋王息紅那裏，和平談判說：
27 Let me pass through thy land: by the highway alone will I go; I will neither turn to the right hand nor to the left.
讓我從你國內經過，我只走大道，不偏右也不偏左。
28 Thou shalt sell me food for money that I may eat; and thou shalt give me water for money that I may drink; I will only pass through on my feet,
你按價錢賣給我糧吃，按價錢供給我水喝；只讓我步行過去，──
29 — as the children of Esau who dwell in Seir, and the Moabites who dwell in Ar, did to me, — until I shall pass over the Jordan into the land which Jehovah our God giveth us.
如住在色依爾的厄撒烏子孫和住在阿爾的摩阿布人，對我所做的一樣，──好使我過約但河，進入上主我們的天主賜給我們的地方。
30 But Sihon the king of Heshbon would not let us pass by him; for Jehovah thy God hardened his spirit, and made his heart obdurate, that he might give him into thy hand, as it is this day.
但是赫市朋王息紅，不肯讓我們從他那裏經過，因為上主你的天主使他頑固，使他心硬，好將他交在你手中，就如今日一樣。
31 And Jehovah said to me, Behold, I begin to give Sihon and his land before thee: begin, take possession, that thou mayest possess his land.
上主對我說：看我已將息紅和他的土地交給了你，你應進軍佔領他的土地。」
32 And Sihon came out against us for battle, he and all his people, to Jahaz.
那時息紅和他所有的民眾出來攻擊我們，在雅哈茲與我們交戰；
33 But Jehovah our God gave him up before us; and we smote him, and his sons, and his whole people.
但上主我們的天主將他交給了我們，我們擊殺了他，他的兒子和他所有的人民。
34 And we took all his cities at that time, and utterly destroyed every city, men, and women, and little ones: we let none escape.
同時我們也佔領了他所有的城邑，照毀滅律將全城破壞，不論男女或幼童，全都殺死，沒有留下一個，
35 Only the cattle we took as booty for ourselves, and the spoil of the cities which we took.
只留下了牲畜和由佔領的城邑中所奪的財物，作我們的戰利品。
36 From Aroer, which is on the bank of the river Arnon, and the city that is in the ravine even to Gilead, there was not one city too strong for us: Jehovah our God delivered all before us.
由阿爾農谷邊的阿洛厄爾和谷中的城直到基肋阿得，沒有一座城不被我們攻下的，上主我們的天主將這一切全交給了我們，
37 Only thou didst not approach the land of the children of Ammon, the whole border of the river Jabbok, nor the cities of the mountain, nor to whatsoever Jehovah our God had forbidden us.
只有阿孟子孫的土地，即雅波克河一帶和山地的城邑，你沒有進攻，全照上主我們的天主所吩咐的。
