Numbers 21
1 When King Arad the Canaanite, which dwelt toward the South, heard tel that Israel came by the way of the spies, then fought hee against Israel, and tooke of them prysoners.
客納罕人的阿辣得王，其時住在乃革布，聽說以色列人沿阿塔陵路前來，就與以色列人交戰，據去了一些人。
2 So Israel vowed a vowe vnto the Lord, and said, If thou wilt deliuer and giue this people into mine hand, then I wil vtterly destroy their cities.
以色列人於是向上主許願說：「你若將這人民交在我手內，我必將他們的城毀滅」。
3 And the Lord heard the voyce of Israel, and deliuered them the Canaanites: and they vtterly destroied them and their cities, and called ye name of the place Hormah.
上主遂聽了以色列人的請求，將客納罕人交在他們手裏，以色列人就毀滅了他們和他們的城；人遂給那地方起名叫曷爾瑪。
4 After, they departed from the mount Hor by the way of the red Sea, to compasse the land of Edom: and the people were sore grieued because of the way.
他們由曷爾山沿紅海的路起程出發，繞過地；在路上人民已不耐煩，
5 And the people spake against God and against Moses, saying, Wherefore haue ye brought vs out of Egypt, to die in the wildernesse? for here is neither bread nor water, and our soule lotheth this light bread.
抱怨天主和梅瑟說：「你們為什麼由埃及領我們由埃及上來死在曠野﹖這裏沒有糧食，又沒有水，我們對這輕淡的食物已感厭惡」。
6 Wherefore the Lord sent fierie serpents among ye people, which stung the people: so that many of the people of Israel died.
上主遂打發火蛇到人民中來，咬死了許多以色列人。
7 Therefore the people came to Moses and said, We haue sinned: for wee haue spoken against the Lord, and against thee: pray to the Lord, that he take away the serpents from vs: and Moses prayed for the people.
人民於是來到梅瑟前說：「我們犯了罪，抱怨了上主和你；請你轉求上主，給我們趕走這些蛇」。梅瑟遂為人民轉求。
8 And the Lord said vnto Moses, Make thee a fiery serpent, and set it vp for a signe, that as many as are bitten, may looke vpon it, and liue.
上主對梅瑟說：「你做一條火蛇，懸在木桿上；凡是被蛇咬的，一瞻仰牠，必得生存」。
9 So Moses made a serpent of brasse, and set it vp for a signe: and when a serpent had bitten a man, then he looked to the serpent of brasse, and liued.
梅瑟遂做了一條銅蛇，懸在木桿上；那被蛇咬了的人，一瞻仰姛蛇，就保存了生命」。
10 And ye children of Israel departed thence, and pitched in Oboth.
以色列子民再起程出發，在敖波特紮了營；
11 And they departed from Oboth, and pitched in lie-abarim, in the wildernesse, which is before Moab on the Eastside.
由敖波特天出發，在依耶阿巴陵，即在面朝摩阿布東邊的曠野內紮了營。
12 They remoued thence, and pitched vpon the riuer of Zared.
由那裏又出發，在則勒得河旁紮了營。
13 Thence they departed, and pitched on the other side of Arnon, which is in the wildernesse, and commeth out of the coasts of the Amorites: (for Arnon is the border of Moab, betweene the Moabites and the Amorites)
由那裏又出發，在阿爾農北岸紮了營。這條河是在曠野中，由阿摩黎人的邊境流出；阿爾農就是阿摩黎的邊界，介於摩阿布和阿摩黎之間。
14 Wherefore it shall be spoken in the booke of the battels of the Lord, what thing he did in the red sea, and in the riuers of Arnon,
為此在「上主的戰書」上說：「在蘇法的瓦赫布和阿爾農山谷，
15 And at the streame of the riuers that goeth downe to the dwelling of Ar, and lieth vpon the border of Moab.
以及山谷的斜坡；這斜坡伸展到阿爾地區，緊靠摩阿布的邊境」。
16 And from thence they turned to Beer: the same is the well where the Lord said vnto Moses, Assemble the people, and I wil giue them water.
由那裏他們到貝爾，那裏有口井，上主曾指這井對梅瑟說：「你召集人民，我要賜給他們水喝」。
17 Then Israel sang this song, Rise vp well, sing ye vnto it.
那時以色列人就唱了這首歌說：「井，湧出水來! 你們應對它歌唱!
18 The princes digged this well, the captaines of the people digged it, euen the lawe giuer, with their staues. And from the wildernesse they came to Mattanah,
這井是領袖挖掘的，是民間的貴人，以權杖和棍棒挖鑿的」。他們由曠野到瑪塔納，
19 And from Mattanah to Nahaliel, and from Nahaliel to Bamoth,
由瑪塔納到了納哈里耳；由納哈里耳了到巴摩特；
20 And from Bamoth in the valley, that is in the plaine of Moab, to the top of Pisgah that looketh toward Ieshimon.
由巴摩特到了摩阿布的山谷，到了俯瞰曠野的斯加高峰。
21 Then Israel sent messengers vnto Sihon, King of the Amorites, saying,
以色列人派遺使者到阿摩黎人的君王息紅前說：
22 Let me goe through thy land: we wil not turne aside into the fieldes, nor into the vineyardes, neither drinke of the waters of ye welles: we will goe by the kings way, vntill we be past thy countrey.
「請讓我由你國內經過，我們決不闖入莊田或葡萄園，也不喝井中的水，只沿王道而行，直至走你的國境」。
23 But Sihon gaue Israel no licence to passe through his countrey, but Sihon assembled all his people, and went out against Israel into the wildernesse: and he came to Iahoz, and fought against Israel.
息紅卻不讓以色列人經過他的國境；且調集他己所有的人民，往曠野裏去對抗以色列人；一來到雅哈茲，就與以色列人交戰。
24 But Israel smote him with the edge of the sword, and conquered his land, from Arnon vnto Iabok, euen vnto ye children of Ammon: for the border of the children of Ammon was strong.
以色列人用刀劍將他擊敗，佔領了他的國境，自阿爾農河直到雅波克河，直到阿孟子民的邊界。
25 And Israel tooke al these cities, and dwelt in all the cities of the Amorites in Heshbon and in all the villages thereof.
於是以色列人佔領了那裏所有的城鎮，就住在阿摩黎人所有的城鎮內，並住在赫市朋及其附屬城內。
26 For Heshbon was the citie of Sihon the king of the Amorites, which had fought beforetime against the king of the Moabites, and had taken al his land out of his hand, euen vnto Arnon.
赫市朋原是阿摩黎人王息紅的都城。息紅與前任阿摩黎王交戰，佔領了他所有的土地，直到阿爾農河。
27 Wherefore they that speake in prouerbes, say, Come to Heshbon, let the citie of Sihon bee built and repaired:
為此詩人吟詠說：「你們到修建鞏固的赫市朋去，那穩固的息紅城；
28 For a fire is gone out of Heshbon, and a flame from the citie of Sihon, and hath consumed Ar of the Moabites, and the lords of Bamoth in Arnon.
因為由赫市朋發出了火，從息紅的城冒出了火焰，吞滅了摩阿布的阿爾，消滅了阿爾農的高丘。
29 Wo be to thee, Moab: O people of Chemosh, thou art vndone: he hath suffered his sonnes to be pursued, and his daughters to be in captiuitie to Sihon the king of the Amorites.
禍哉，摩阿布! 革摩市人民，你已滅亡! 他的兒子已經逃亡，女兒已被俘，交給了阿摩黎人的君王息紅。
30 Their empire also is lost from Heshbon vnto Dibon, and wee haue destroyed them vnto Nophah, which reacheth vnto Medeba.
但我們一襲擊他們，赫市朋直到狄朋，盡成廢壚；我們蹂躝一切直到諾法黑，直到默德巴」。
31 Thus Israel dwelt in the lande of the Amorites.
這樣以色列人就住在阿摩黎的區域內。
32 And Moses sent to searche out Iaazer, and they tooke the townes belonging thereto, and rooted out the Amorites that were there.
梅瑟又派人去偵探雅則爾；他們佔領了這城及其附屬城鎮，驅逐了那裏的阿摩黎人。
33 And they turned and went vp toward Bashan: and Og the King of Bashan came out against them, hee, and all his people, to fight at Edrei.
此後前進，上了往巴商的路。巴商王敖格同他全國的人民，就出來對抗他們，在厄德勒與他們交戰。
34 Then the Lord said vnto Moses, Feare him not: for I haue deliuered him into thine hand and all his people, and his land: and thou shalt do to him as thou diddest vnto Sihon the king of the Amorites, which dwelt at Heshbon.
上主對梅瑟說：「不必怕他，因為我已將他，他的人民和國土，都交在你手裏了；你要待他，如同待住在赫市朋 木阿摩黎人的君王一樣」。
35 They smote him therefore, and his sonnes, and all his people, vntill there was none left him: so they conquered his land.
他們擊殺了他，他的兒子和他所有的人民，沒有剩下一個；遂佔據了他的國土。
