< Deuteronomy 2 >
1 Then we turned, and tooke our iourney into the wildernes, by the way of the red Sea, as the Lord spake vnto me: and we compassed mount Seir 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 spake vnto me, saying,
耶和华对我说:
3 Ye haue compassed this mountaine long ynough: turne you Northward.
‘你们绕行这山的日子够了,要转向北去。
4 And warne thou the people, saying, Ye shall go through the coast of your brethren the children of Esau, which dwell in Seir, and they shall be afraide of you: take ye good heede therefore.
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 Ye shall not prouoke them: for I wil not giue you of their land so much as a foot breadth, because I haue giuen mount Seir vnto Esau for 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 Ye shall buy meate of them for money to eate, and ye shall also procure water of them for money to drinke.
你们要用钱向他们买粮吃,也要用钱向他们买水喝。
7 For the Lord thy God hath blessed thee in all the workes of thine hand: he knoweth thy walking through this great wildernes, and the Lord thy God hath bene with thee this fourtie yeere, and thou hast lacked 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 were departed from our brethren the children of Esau which dwelt in Seir, through the way of the plaine, from Elath, and from Ezion-gaber, we turned and went by the way of the wildernes 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 Then the Lord sayd vnto me, Thou shalt not vexe Moab, neither prouoke them to battel: for I wil not giue thee of their land for a possession, because I haue giuen Ar vnto the children of Lot for 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 Emims dwelt therein in times past, a people great and many, and tall, as the Anakims.
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 also were taken for gyants as the Anakims: whom the Moabites call Emims.
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 Horims also dwelt in Seir before time, whome the children of Esau chased out and destroyed them before them, and dwelt in their steade: as Israel shall doe vnto the land of his possession, which the Lord hath giuen them.
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 Now rise vp, sayd I, and get you ouer the riuer Zered: and we went ouer the riuer Zered.
现在,起来过撒烈溪!于是我们过了撒烈溪。
14 The space also wherein we came from Kadesh-barnea, vntill we were come ouer the riuer Zered, was eight and thirtie yeeres, vntill all the generation of the men of warre were wasted out from among the hoste, as the Lord sware vnto them.
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 in deede the hand of the Lord was against them, to destroy them from among the hoste, till they were consumed.
耶和华的手也攻击他们,将他们从营中除灭,直到灭尽。
16 So when all the men of warre were consumed and dead from among the people:
“兵丁从民中都灭尽死亡以后,
17 Then the Lord spake vnto me, saying,
耶和华吩咐我说:
18 Thou shalt goe through Ar the coast of Moab this day:
‘你今天要从摩押的境界亚珥经过,
19 And thou shalt come neere ouer against the children of Ammon: but shalt not lay siege vnto them, nor moue warre against them: for I will not giue thee of the land of the children of Ammon any possession: for I haue giuen it vnto the children of Lot for 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 That also was taken for a land of gyants: for gyants dwelt therein afore time, whome the Ammonites called Zamzummims:
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 A people that was great, and many, and tall, as the Anakims: but the Lord destroyed them before them, and they succeeded them in their inheritance, and dwelt in their stead:
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 As he did to the children of Esau which dwell in Seir, when he destroyed the Horims before them, and they possessed them, and dwelt in their stead vnto this day.
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 And the Auims which dwelt in Hazarim euen vnto Azzah, the Caphtorims which came out of Caphtor destroyed them, and dwelt in their steade.
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 vp therefore, sayd the Lord: take your iourney, and passe ouer the riuer Arnon: beholde, I haue giuen into thy hand Sihon, the Amorite, King of Heshbon, and his land: begin to possesse it and prouoke him to battell.
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 This day wil I begin to send thy feare and thy dread, vpon all people vnder the whole heauen, which shall heare thy fame, and shall tremble and quake before thee.
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 Then I sent messengers out of the wildernes of Kedemoth vnto Sihon King of Heshbon, with wordes of peace, 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 Let me passe through thy land: I will go by the hie way: I will neither turne vnto the right hand nor to the left.
‘求你容我从你的地经过,只走大道,不偏左右。
28 Thou shalt sell me meate for money, for to eate, and shalt giue me water for money for to drinke: onely I will go through on my foote,
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 (As the children of Esau which dwell in Seir, and the Moabites which dwell in Ar, did vnto me) vntill I be come ouer Iorden, into the land which the Lord our God giueth vs.
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 But Sihon the King of Heshbon would not let vs passe by him: for the Lord thy God had hardened his spirit, and made his heart obstinate, because hee would deliuer him into thine hand, as appeareth this day.
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 sayd vnto me, Beholde, I haue begun to giue Sihon and his land before thee: begin to possesse and inherite his land.
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 Then came out Sihon to meete vs, him selfe with all his people to fight at Iahaz.
那时,西宏和他的众民出来攻击我们,在雅杂与我们交战。
33 But the Lord our God deliuered him into our power, and we smote him, and his sonnes, 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 tooke all his cities the same time, and destroyed euery citie, men, and women, and children: we let nothing remaine.
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 Onely the cattell we tooke to our selues, and the spoyle of the cities which we tooke,
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 by the banke of the riuer of Arnon, and from the citie that is vpon the riuer, euen vnto Gilead: there was not one citie that escaped vs: for the Lord our God deliuered vp all before vs.
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 Onely vnto the land of the children of Ammon thou camest not, nor vnto any place of the riuer Iabbok, nor vnto the cities in the mountaines, nor vnto whatsoeuer the Lord our God forbade vs.
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。”
