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.
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 Yhwh spake unto me, saying,
那時上主對我說：「
3 Ye have compassed 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 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:
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 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.
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 meat of them for money, that ye may eat; and ye shall also buy water 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 Yhwh thy God hath blessed thee in all the works of thy hand: he knoweth thy walking through this great wilderness: these forty years Yhwh thy God hath 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 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 Ezion–gaber, 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 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.
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 Emims dwelt therein in times past, a people great, and many, and tall, as the Anakims;
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 Which also were accounted giants, as the Anakims; but the Moabites call them Emims.
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 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.
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, said I, and get you over the brook Zered. And we went over the brook Zered.
你們現在起身，過則勒得溪。」我們就過了則勒得溪。
14 And the space in which we came from Kadesh–barnea, 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 army, as Yhwh sware 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 For indeed the hand of Yhwh was against them, to destroy them from among the army, 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 So it came to pass, when all the men of war were consumed and dead from among the people,
所有的戰士由民中死盡以後，
17 That Yhwh spake unto me, saying,
上主吩咐我說：「
18 Thou art to pass over through Ar, the coast of Moab, this day:
你今天路過摩阿布的領土，即阿爾，
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.
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 was accounted a land of giants: giants dwelt therein in old time; and the Ammonites call them Zamzummims;
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 Anakims; But Yhwh destroyed them before them; and they succeeded 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, 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:
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 Avims which dwelt in Hazerim, even unto Azzah, the Caphtorims, which came forth 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 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.
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 nations that are under the whole heaven, who shall hear report of thee, and shall tremble, and be in anguish 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 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: I will go along by the high way, I will neither turn unto 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 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;
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 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 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 king of Heshbon would not let us pass by him: for Yhwh thy God hardened his spirit, and made his heart obstinate, that he might deliver him into thy hand, as appeareth 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 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.
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 Then Sihon came out against us, he and all his people, to fight at 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 And Yhwh our God delivered him before us; and we smote him, and his sons, and all his 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 the men, and the women, and the little ones, of every city, we left none to remain:
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 for a prey unto 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 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 God delivered all unto 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 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 God forbad 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。
