Deuteronomy 2
1 Then we turned around and headed back into the desert on the road that leads to the Red Sea, as the Lord had told me, and we wandered around Mount Seir for a long time.
profectique inde venimus in solitudinem quae ducit ad mare Rubrum sicut mihi dixerat Dominus et circumivimus montem Seir longo tempore
2 This is when the Lord told me,
dixitque Dominus ad me
3 “You have been wandering around this mountain long enough. Go back north,
sufficit vobis circumire montem istum ite contra aquilonem
4 and give these orders to the people: ‘You are going to pass through the territory of your relatives, the descendants of Esau, who live in Seir. They will be frightened of you, so you need to be very careful.
et populo praecipe dicens transibitis per terminos fratrum vestrorum filiorum Esau qui habitant in Seir et timebunt vos
5 Don't fight them, for I'm not going to give you any of their land, not even the size of a footprint, because I have given Mount Seir to Esau and it belongs to him.
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 Pay them with money for the food you eat and the water you drink.’
cibos emetis ab eis pecunia et comedetis aquam emptam haurietis et bibetis
7 Remember that the Lord your God has blessed you in everything you've done. He has looked after you during your journey through this large desert. The Lord your God has been with you for these forty years, and you haven't lacked anything.”
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 relatives, the descendants of Esau, who live in Seir. We didn't take the Arabah road from Elath and Ezion-geber. Instead we used the road that goes through the desert of Moab.
cumque transissemus fratres nostros filios Esau qui habitabant in Seir per viam campestrem de Helath et de Asiongaber venimus ad iter quod ducit in desertum Moab
9 Then the Lord told me, “Don't cause the Moabites any trouble or fight them, for I'm not going to give you any of their land, because I have given Ar to the descendants of Lot and it belongs to them.”
dixitque Dominus ad me non pugnes contra Moabitas nec ineas adversum eos proelium non enim dabo tibi quicquam de terra eorum quia filiis Loth tradidi Ar in possessionem
10 (A strong and numerous people called the Emim once lived there. They were as tall as the Anakim,
Emim primi fuerunt habitatores eius populus magnus et validus et tam excelsus ut de Enacim stirpe
11 and just like the Anakim, they were also considered as Rephaim, but the Moabites called them Emim.
quasi gigantes crederentur et essent similes filiorum Enacim denique Moabitae appellant eos Emim
12 Previously the Horites lived in Seir, but the descendants of Esau took over their land. They killed the Horites and settled there, just like Israel did when they occupied the land that the Lord had given them.)
in Seir autem prius habitaverunt Horim quibus expulsis atque deletis habitaverunt filii Esau sicut fecit Israhel in terra possessionis suae quam dedit ei Dominus
13 Then the Lord told us, “Go and cross over Zered Brook.” So we crossed over Zered Brook.
surgentes ergo ut transiremus torrentem Zared venimus ad eum
14 The time it took for us to travel from Kadesh-barnea to when we crossed over the Brook of Zered was thirty-eight years. By this time the entire generation of warriors had died and were no longer part of the camp, as the Lord had sworn to them would happen.
tempus autem quo ambulavimus de Cadesbarne usque ad transitum torrentis Zared triginta octo annorum fuit donec consumeretur omnis generatio hominum bellatorum de castris sicut iuraverat Dominus
15 In fact the Lord worked against them to remove them from the camp, until they were all dead.
cuius manus fuit adversum eos ut interirent de castrorum medio
16 Once the people's warriors had died,
postquam autem universi ceciderunt pugnatores
17 the Lord told me,
locutus est Dominus ad me dicens
18 “Today you will cross out of Moab at the border near Ar.
tu transibis hodie terminos Moab urbem nomine Ar
19 However, when you get enter Ammonite territory, don't cause them any trouble or fight them for I'm not going to give you any Ammonite land, because I have given it to the descendants of Lot and it belongs to them.”
et accedens in vicina filiorum Ammon cave ne pugnes contra eos nec movearis ad proelium non enim dabo tibi de terra filiorum Ammon quia filiis Loth dedi eam in possessionem
20 (This land was previously considered as the country of the Rephaim who used to live there. However, the Ammonites called them Zamzummites.
terra gigantum reputata est et in ipsa olim habitaverunt gigantes quos Ammanitae vocant Zomzommim
21 They were a strong and numerous people, as tall as the Anakim. But the Lord destroyed them when the Ammonites invaded and drove them out and settled there,
populus magnus et multus et procerae longitudinis sicut Enacim quos delevit Dominus a facie eorum et fecit illos habitare pro eis
22 just as he'd done for the descendants of Esau who lived in Seir when he destroyed the Horites. They drove them out and settled where they used to live, and are still there to this day.
sicut fecerat filiis Esau qui habitant in Seir delens Horreos et terram eorum illis tradens quam possident usque in praesens
23 The Avvim, living in villages as far away as Gaza, were destroyed by the Philistines, who came from Crete, and settled where they used to live.)
Eveos quoque qui habitabant in Aserim usque Gazam Cappadoces expulerunt qui egressi de Cappadocia deleverunt eos et habitaverunt pro illis
24 Then the Lord told us, “Get up, go and cross the Arnon Valley. Look, I have handed over to you Sihon the Amorite, king of Heshbon, as well as his land. Go and start taking it over, and fight him in battle.
surgite et transite torrentem Arnon ecce tradidi in manu tua Seon regem Esebon Amorreum et terram eius incipe possidere et committe adversum eum proelium
25 From this day on, I'm going to make all nations on earth dread you—they will be terrified of you. Because of the news they hear about you they will tremble in terror when you appear.”
hodie incipiam mittere terrorem atque formidinem tuam in populos qui habitant sub omni caelo ut audito nomine tuo paveant et in morem parturientium contremescant et dolore teneantur
26 Moses told the Israelites, “From the Kedemoth Desert I sent messengers with an offer of peace to Sihon, king of Heshbon, telling him,
misi ergo nuntios de solitudine Cademoth ad Seon regem Esebon verbis pacificis dicens
27 ‘Let us pass through your land. We'll stay on the main road and won't turn off either to the right or to the left.
transibimus per terram tuam publica gradiemur via non declinabimus neque ad dextram neque ad sinistram
28 Sell us food to eat and water to drink for money. Just 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 like the descendants of Esau living in Seir and the Moabites living in Ar allowed us, until we cross over the Jordan into the country that the Lord our God is giving to us.”
sicut fecerunt filii Esau qui habitant in Seir et Moabitae qui morantur in Ar donec veniamus ad Iordanem et transeamus in terram quam Dominus Deus noster daturus est nobis
30 But Sihon king of Heshbon refused to let us pass through, for the Lord your God gave him a stubborn spirit and an obstinate attitude, so the Lord could hand him over to you, as he has now done.
noluitque Seon rex Esebon 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 told me, “Look, I have started handing Sihon and his land over to you. Now you can begin to conquer and take over his land.”
dixitque Dominus ad me ecce coepi tradere tibi Seon et terram eius incipe possidere eam
32 Sihon and his whole army came out to fight us at Jahaz.
egressusque est Seon obviam nobis cum omni populo suo ad proelium in Iesa
33 The Lord our God handed him over to us, and we killed him, his sons, and all his army.
et tradidit eum Dominus Deus noster nobis percussimusque eum cum filiis et omni populo suo
34 We also captured all his towns, and set apart for destruction the people of every town: men, women, and children. We didn't leave any survivors.
cunctasque urbes in tempore illo cepimus interfectis habitatoribus earum viris ac mulieribus et parvulis non reliquimus in eis quicquam
35 All we took for ourselves was the livestock and plunder from the towns we'd captured.
absque iumentis quae in partem venere praedantium et spoliis urbium quas cepimus
36 No town had walls too high for us to conquer—from Aroer on the edge of the Arnon Valley, the town in the valley, all the way to Gilead. The Lord our God handed them all over to us.
ab Aroer quae est super ripam torrentis Arnon oppido quod in valle situm est usque Galaad non fuit vicus et civitas quae nostras effugeret manus omnes tradidit Dominus Deus noster nobis
37 But you didn't go anywhere near the country of the Ammonites—the area that borders the Jabbok River or the towns of the hill country, or any other place that the Lord our God had placed off limits.
absque terra filiorum Ammon ad quam non accessimus et cunctis quae adiacent torrenti Ieboc et urbibus montanis universisque locis a quibus nos prohibuit Dominus Deus noster
