Deuteronomy 2

1 Then we turned, and took our journey into the wilderness by the way of the Red sea, as YHWH spake unto me: and we compassed mount Seir many days.

١ ثُمَّ تَحَوَّلْنَا وَانْطَلَقْنَا نَحْوَ الصَّحْرَاءِ فِي اتِّجَاهِ الْبَحْرِ الأَحْمَرِ كَمَا أَمَرَنِي الرَّبُّ، وَدُرْنَا حَوْلَ جَبَلِ سِعِيرَ أَيَّاماً كَثِيرَةً.

2 And YHWH spake unto me, saying,

٢ ثُمَّ قَالَ الرَّبُّ لِي:

3 Ye have compassed this mountain long enough: turn you northward.

٣ حَسْبُكُمْ دَوَرَانٌ حَوْلَ هَذَا الْجَبَلِ. هَيَّا اتَّجِهُوا نَحْوَ الشِّمَالِ.

4 And command thou the people, saying, Ye are to pass through the coast of your brethren the children of Esau, which dwell in Seir; and they shall be afraid of you: take ye good heed unto yourselves therefore:

٤ وَأَوْصِ الشَّعْبَ: هَا أَنْتُمْ عَابِرُونَ بِتُخُومِ إِخْوَتِكُمْ بَنِي عِيسُو الْمُسْتَوْطِنِينَ فِي سِعِيرَ فَيَعْتَرِيهُمُ الْخَوْفُ مِنْكُمْ

5 Meddle not with them; for I will not give you of their land, no, not so much as a foot breadth; because I have given mount Seir unto Esau for a possession.

٥ فَاحْذَرُوا جِدّاً أَنْ تُهَاجِمُوهُمْ، لأَنَّنِي لَا أُوَرِّثُكُمْ مِنْ أَرْضِهِمْ وَلا وَطْأَةَ قَدَمٍ، لأَنِّي قَدْ أَعْطَيْتُ جَبَلَ سِعِيرَ مِيرَاثاً لِعِيسُو.

6 Ye shall buy meat of them for money, that ye may eat; and ye shall also buy water of them for money, that ye may drink.

٦ تَدْفَعُونَ ثَمَنَ مَا تَشْتَرُونَهُ مِنْ طَعَامٍ لِتَأْكُلُوا، وَمَا تَبْتَاعُونَهُ مِنْ مَاءٍ لِتَشْرَبُوا.

7 For YHWH thy Elohim hath blessed thee in all the works of thy hand: he knoweth thy walking through this great wilderness: these forty years YHWH thy Elohim hath been with thee; thou hast lacked nothing.

٧ لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ إِلَهَكُمْ بَارَكَ كُلَّ عَمَلِ أَيْدِيكُمْ، وَاعْتَنَى بِكُمْ فِي أَثْنَاءِ رِحْلَتِكُمْ فِي هَذِهِ الصَّحْرَاءِ الشَّاسِعَةِ، وَكَانَ مَعَكُمْ طَوَالَ أَرْبَعِينَ سَنَةً، فَلَمْ يُعْوِزْكُمْ شَيْءٌ

8 And when we passed by from our brethren the children of Esau, which dwelt in Seir, through the way of the plain from Elath, and from Eziongaber, we turned and passed by the way of the wilderness of Moab.

٨ فَاجْتَزْنَا بِإِخْوَتِنَا بَنِي عِيسُو الْمُقِيمِينَ فِي سِعِيرَ، مُتَّجِهِينَ فِي طَرِيقِ وَادِي الْعَرَبَةِ جَنُوباً صَوْبَ إِيلاتَ وَعَصْيُونَ جَابِرَ، ثُمَّ انْثَنَيْنَا وَمَرَرْنَا فِي طَرِيقِ صَحْرَاءِ مُوآبَ.

9 And YHWH said unto me, Distress not the Moabites, neither contend with them in battle: for I will not give thee of their land for a possession; because I have given Ar unto the children of Lot for a possession.

٩ فَقَالَ لِي الرَّبُّ: لَا تُعَادِ الْمُوآبِيِّينَ وَلا تُثِرْ عَلَيْهِمْ حَرْباً، لأَنِّي لَا أُعْطِيكَ مِنْ أَرْضِهِمْ مِيرَاثاً، إِذْ وَهَبْتُ مَدِينَةَ عَارَ لِذُرِّيَّةِ لُوطٍ مِلْكاً.

10 The Emims dwelt therein in times past, a people great, and many, and tall, as the Anakims;

١٠ فَقَدْ سَكَنَ فِيهَا الإِيمِيُّونَ قَبْلاً، وَهُمْ شَعْبٌ كَثِيرٌ وَطُوَالُ الْقَامَةِ كَالْعَنَاقِيِّينَ،

11 Which also were accounted giants, as the Anakims; but the Moabites called them Emims.

١١ وَهُمْ يُعْتَبَرُونَ رَفَائِيِّينَ كَالْعَنَاقِيِّينَ. غَيْرَ أَنَّ المُوآبِيِّينَ يَدْعُونَهُمُ الإِيمِيِّينَ.

12 The Horims also dwelt in Seir beforetime; but the children of Esau succeeded them, when they had destroyed them from before them, and dwelt in their stead; as Israel did unto the land of his possession, which YHWH gave unto them.

١٢ كَذَلِكَ اسْتَوْطَنَ الْحُورِيُّونَ أَرْضَ سِعِيرَ مِنْ قَبْلُ، فَطَرَدَهُمْ بَنُو عِيسُو وَأَبَادُوهُمْ وَحَلُّوا مَكَانَهُمْ، تَمَاماً كَمَا فَعَلَ الإِسْرَائِيلِيُّونَ بِالأَرْضِ الَّتِي وَهَبَهَا لَهُمُ الرَّبُّ.

13 Now rise up, said I, and get you over the brook Zered. And we went over the brook Zered.

١٣ وَالآنَ انْهَضُوا وَاعْبُرُوا وَادِي زَارَدَ. وَهَكَذَا عَبَرْنَا وَادِي زَارَدَ.

14 And the space in which we came from Kadeshbarnea, until we were come over the brook Zered, was thirty and eight years; until all the generation of the men of war were wasted out from among the host, as YHWH sware unto them.

١٤ وَكَانَ عَدَدُ السَّنَوَاتِ الَّتِي قَضَيْنَاهَا فِي مَسِيرِنَا مِنْ قَادَشَ بَرْنِيعَ حَتَّى اجْتَزْنَا وَادِي زَارَدَ ثَمَانِيَ وَثَلاثِينَ سَنَةً، فِيهَا مَاتَ جِيلُ رِجَالِ الْحَرْبِ مِنَ الْمُخَيَّمِ، كَمَا أَقْسَمَ الرَّبُّ لَهُمْ.

15 For indeed the hand of YHWH was against them, to destroy them from among the host, until they were consumed.

١٥ وَهَكَذَا عَاقَبَهُمُ الرَّبُّ أَيْضاً حَتَّى أَبَادَهُمْ وَأَفْنَاهُمْ مِنَ الْمُخَيَّمِ.

16 So it came to pass, when all the men of war were consumed and dead from among the people,

١٦ فَعِنْدَمَا مَاتَ جَمِيعُ الْمُقَاتِلِينَ مِنْ بَيْنِ الشَّعْبِ

17 That YHWH spake unto me, saying,

١٧ قَالَ الرَّبُّ لِي:

18 Thou art to pass over through Ar, the coast of Moab, this day:

١٨ أَنْتَ عَابِرٌ الْيَوْمَ بِحُدُودِ عَارَ مِنْ أَرْضِ مُوآبَ،

19 And when thou comest nigh over against the children of Ammon, distress them not, nor meddle with them: for I will not give thee of the land of the children of Ammon any possession; because I have given it unto the children of Lot for a possession.

١٩ فَمَتَى اقْتَرَبْتَ مِنْ بَنِي عَمُّونَ، لَا تُعَادِهِمْ وَلا تُهَاجِمْهُمْ، لأَنِّي لَا أَهَبُكَ مِنْ أَرْضِ بَنِي عَمُّونَ مِيرَاثاً، إِذْ وَهَبْتُهَا لِبَنِي لُوطٍ.

20 (That also was accounted a land of giants: giants dwelt therein in old time; and the Ammonites call them Zamzummims;

٢٠ وَهِيَ أَيْضاً تُعْتَبَرُ أَرْضَ رَفَائِيِّينَ، إِذْ سَكَنُوا فِيهَا قَبْلاً. أَمَّا الْعَمُّونِيُّونَ فَيَدْعُونَهُمْ زَمْزُمِّيِّينَ.

21 A people great, and many, and tall, as the Anakims; but YHWH destroyed them before them; and they succeeded them, and dwelt in their stead:

٢١ وَهُمْ شَعْبٌ كَثِيرٌ طِوَالُ الْقَامَةِ كَالْعَنَاقِيِّينَ، أَبَادَهُمُ الرَّبُّ مِنْ أَمَامِ الْعَمُّونِيِّينَ فَطَرَدُوهُمْ وَأَقَامُوا مَكَانَهُمْ،

22 As he did to the children of Esau, which dwelt in Seir, when he destroyed the Horims from before them; and they succeeded them, and dwelt in their stead even unto this day:

٢٢ تَمَاماً كَمَا فَعَلَ لِذُرِّيَّةِ عِيسُو الْمُسْتَوْطِنِينَ فِي سِعِيرَ. فَقَدْ أَهْلَكَ الْحُورِيِّينَ فِي أَيَّامِهِمْ، فَطَرَدُوهُمْ وَحَلُّوا مَكَانَهُمْ إِلَى هَذَا الْيَوْمِ.

23 And the Avims which dwelt in Hazerim, even unto Azzah, the Caphtorims, which came forth out of Caphtor, destroyed them, and dwelt in their stead.)

٢٣ وَكَذَلِكَ أَبَادَ الْكَفْتُورِيُّونَ الَّذِينَ خَرَجُوا مِنْ كَفْتُورَ، الْعَوِّيِّينَ الَّذِينَ كَانُوا قَاطِنِينَ فِي الْقُرَى الْمُنْتَشِرَةِ حَتَّى غَزَّةَ وَحَلُّوا مَكَانَهُمْ.

24 Rise ye up, take your journey, and pass over the river Arnon: behold, I have given into thine hand Sihon the Amorite, king of Heshbon, and his land: begin to possess it, and contend with him in battle.

٢٤ فَقُومُوا وَارْتَحِلُوا وَاعْبُرُوا وَادِي نَهْرِ أَرْنُونَ، وَانْظُرُوا لأَنِّي قَدْ نَصَرْتُكَ عَلَى سِيحُونَ مَلِكِ الأَمُورِيِّينَ وَأَرْضِهِ. فَابْتَدِئْ بِتَمَلُّكِ الأَرْضِ، وَأَثِرْ عَلَيْهِ حَرْباً.

25 This day will I begin to put the dread of thee and the fear of thee upon the nations that are under the whole heaven, who shall hear report of thee, and shall tremble, and be in anguish because of thee.

٢٥ فَفِي هَذَا الْيَوْمِ بِالذَّاتِ أَجْعَلُ هَيْبَتَكُمْ وَالْخَوْفَ مِنْكُمْ يَطْغَيَانِ عَلَى شُعُوبِ الأَرْضِ. وَكُلُّ الَّذِينَ يَسْمَعُونَ أَخْبَارَكُمْ يَرْتَعِدُونَ وَيَفْزَعُونَ أَمَامَكُمْ.

26 And I sent messengers out of the wilderness of Kedemoth unto Sihon king of Heshbon with words of peace, saying,

٢٦ فَأَرْسَلْتُ رُسُلاً مِنْ صَحْرَاءِ قَدِيمُوتَ إِلَى سِيحُونَ مَلِكِ حَشْبُونَ، أَعْرِضُ عَلَيْهِ سَلاماً قَائِلاً:

27 Let me pass through thy land: I will go along by the high way, I will neither turn unto the right hand nor to the left.

٢٧ دَعْنِي أَجْتَازُ بِأَرْضِكَ سَالِكاً الطَّرِيقَ الْعَامَّةَ، لَا أَحِيدُ عَنْهَا يَمِيناً أَوْ شِمَالاً.

28 Thou shalt sell me meat for money, that I may eat; and give me water for money, that I may drink: only I will pass through on my feet;

٢٨ وَسَأَدْفَعُ ثَمَنَ مَا تَبِيعُنِي مِنْ طَعَامٍ لآكُلَ، وَمَا تُعْطِينِي مِنْ مَاءٍ لأَشْرَبَ، أَمُرُّ رَاجِلاً فَقَطْ.

29 (As the children of Esau which dwell in Seir, and the Moabites which dwell in Ar, did unto me; ) until I shall pass over Jordan into the land which YHWH our Elohim giveth us.

٢٩ كَمَا فَعَلْتُ مَعَ بَنِي عِيسُو الْمُسْتَوْطِنِينَ فِي سِعِيرَ، وَالْمُوآبِيِّينَ الْمُقِيمِينَ فِي عَارَ.

30 But Sihon king of Heshbon would not let us pass by him: for YHWH thy Elohim hardened his spirit, and made his heart obstinate, that he might deliver him into thy hand, as appeareth this day.

٣٠ لَكِنَّ سِيحُونَ مَلِكَ حَشْبُونَ رَفَضَ أَنْ يَدَعَنَا نَجْتَازُ بِبِلادِهِ، لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ إِلَهَكُمْ قَسَّى رُوحَهُ وَأَغْلَظَ قَلْبَهُ لِكَيْ يَهْزِمَهُ عَلَى أَيْدِيكُمْ كَمَا فَعَلَ الآنَ.

31 And YHWH said unto me, Behold, I have begun to give Sihon and his land before thee: begin to possess, that thou mayest inherit his land.

٣١ وَقَالَ لِي الرَّبُّ: انْظُرْ، هَا قَدِ ابْتَدَأْتُ أَدْفَعُ أَمَامَكَ سِيحُونَ لِتَسْتَوْلِيَ عَلَى أَرْضِهِ، فَأَسْرِعْ فِي تَمَلُّكِهَا حَتَّى تَتَغَلَّبَ عَلَيْهَا كُلِّهَا.

32 Then Sihon came out against us, he and all his people, to fight at Jahaz.

٣٢ فَخَرَجَ سِيحُونُ بِكَامِلِ جَيْشِهِ إِلَى يَاهَصَ لِمُحَارَبَتِنَا.

33 And YHWH our Elohim delivered him before us; and we smote him, and his sons, and all his people.

٣٣ فَأَتَانَا النَّصْرُ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ عِنْدِ الرَّبِّ إِلَهِنَا، فَدَحَرْنَاهُ وَأَبْنَاءَهُ وَسَائِرَ جَيْشِهِ.

34 And we took all his cities at that time, and utterly destroyed the men, and the women, and the little ones, of every city, we left none to remain:

٣٤ وَاسْتَوْلَيْنَا عَلَى جَمِيعِ مُدُنِهِ، وَقَضَيْنَا فِي كُلِّ مَدِينَةٍ عَلَى الرِّجَالِ وَالنِّسَاءِ وَالأَطْفَالِ، فَلَمْ يَنْجُ حَيٌّ مِنْهُمْ.

35 Only the cattle we took for a prey unto ourselves, and the spoil of the cities which we took.

٣٥ وَلَكِنَّ الْبَهَائِمَ وَالأَسْلابَ الَّتِي نَهَبْنَاهَا مِنَ الْمُدُنِ أَخَذْنَاهَا غَنَائِمَ لأَنْفُسِنَا.

36 From Aroer, which is by the brink of the river of Arnon, and from the city that is by the river, even unto Gilead, there was not one city too strong for us: YHWH our Elohim delivered all unto us:

٣٦ وَلَمْ تَمْتَنِعْ عَلَيْنَا قَرْيَةٌ ابْتِدَاءً مِنْ عَرُوعِيرَ الْوَاقِعَةِ عَلَى حَافَةِ وَادِي أَرْنُونَ وَالْمَدِينَةِ الْقَائِمَةِ فِيهِ، إِلَى جِلْعَادَ، إِذْ حَقَّقَ الرَّبُّ إِلَهُنَا لَنَا النَّصْرَ عَلَى جَمِيعِهَا.

37 Only unto the land of the children of Ammon thou camest not, nor unto any place of the river Jabbok, nor unto the cities in the mountains, nor unto whatsoever YHWH our Elohim forbad us.

٣٧ وَلَكِنَّنَا لَمْ نَقْتَرِبْ مِنْ أَرْضِ الْعَمُّونِيِّينَ، وَلا نَاحِيَةِ وَادِي نَهْرِ يَبُّوقَ، وَلا الْمُدُنِ الْجَبَلِيَّةِ طَاعَةً لأَمْرِ الرَّبِّ إِلَهِنَا.
