Deuteronomy 2
1 And we turned and departed into the wilderness, by the way of the Red Sea, as the Lord spoke to me, and we compassed mount Seir many days.
“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 said to me,
耶和华对我说：
3 You have compassed this mount long enough; turn therefore toward the north.
‘你们绕行这山的日子够了，要转向北去。
4 And charge the people, saying, You are going through the borders of your brethren the children of Esau, who dwell in Seir; and they shall fear you, and dread you greatly.
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 Do not engage in war against them, for I will not give you of their land even enough to set your foot upon, for I have given mount Seir to the children of Esau as an inheritance.
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 Buy food of them for money and eat, and you shall receive water of them by measure for money, and drink.
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 our God has blessed you in every work of your hands. Consider how you went through that great and terrible wilderness: behold, the Lord your God [has been] with you forty years; you did not lack any thing.
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 we passed by our brethren the children of Esau, who lived in Seir, by the way of Araba from Aelon and from Gesion Gaber; and we turned and passed by the way of the desert 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 And the Lord said to me, Do not you quarrel with the Moabites, and do not engage in war with them; for I will not give you of their land for an inheritance, for I have given Aroer to the children of Lot to inherit.
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 Formerly the Ommin lived in it, a great and numerous nation and powerful, like the Enakim.
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 These also shall be accounted Raphain like the Enakim; and the Moabites call them Ommin.
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 And the Chorrhite lived in Seir before, and the sons of Esau destroyed them, and utterly consumed them from before them; and they lived in their place, as Israel did to the land of his inheritance, which the Lord gave to 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 then, arise you, [said I], and depart, and cross the valley of Zaret.
现在，起来过撒烈溪！于是我们过了撒烈溪。
14 And the days in which we traveled from Cades Barne till we crossed the valley of Zaret, [were] thirty and eight years, until the whole generation of the men of war failed, dying out of the camp, as the Lord God sware to 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 And the hand of the Lord was upon them to destroy them out of the midst of the camp, until 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 And it came to pass when all the men of war dying out of the midst of the people had fallen,
“兵丁从民中都灭尽死亡以后，
17 that the Lord spoke to me, saying,
耶和华吩咐我说：
18 You shall pass over this day the borders of Moab to Aroer;
‘你今天要从摩押的境界亚珥经过，
19 and you shall draw near to the children of Amman: do not quarrel with them, nor wage war with them; for I will not give you of the land of the children of Amman for an inheritance, because I have given it to the children of Lot for an inheritance.
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 It shall be accounted a land of Raphain, for the Raphain lived there before, and the Ammanites call them Zochommin.
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 great nation and populous, and mightier than you, as also the Enakim: yet the Lord destroyed them from before them, and they inherited [their land], and they lived [there] instead of them until this day.
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 they did to the children of Esau that dwell in Seir, even as they destroyed the Chorrhite from before them, and inherited their country, and lived [therein] instead of them until 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 Evites who dwell in Asedoth to Gaza, and the Cappadocians who came out of Cappadocia, destroyed them, and lived in their room.
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 Now then arise and depart, and pass over the valley of Arnon: behold, I have delivered into your hands Seon the king of Esebon the Amorite, and his land: begin to inherit [it]: engage in war with him this day.
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 Begin to put your terror and your fear on the face of all the nations under heaven, who shall be troubled when they have heard your name, and shall be in anguish before you.
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 And I sent ambassadors from the wilderness of Kedamoth to Seon king of Esebon with peaceful words, 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 I will pass through your land: I will go by the road, I will not turn aside to the right hand or to the left.
‘求你容我从你的地经过，只走大道，不偏左右。
28 You shall give me food for money, and I will eat; and you shall give me water for money, and I will drink; I will only go through on my feet:
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 sons of Esau did to me, who lived in Seir, and the Moabites who lived in Aroer, until I shall have passed Jordan into the land which the Lord our God gives us.
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 And Seon king of Esebon would not that we should pass by him, because the Lord our God hardened his spirit, and made his heart stubborn, that he might be delivered into your hands, as on 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 said to me, Behold, I have begun to deliver before you Seon the king of Esebon the Amorite, and his land, and do you begin to inherit 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 And Seon the king of Esebon came forth to meet us, he and all his people to war at Jassa.
那时，西宏和他的众民出来攻击我们，在雅杂与我们交战。
33 And the Lord our God delivered him before our face, and we struck him, and his sons, 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 took possession of all his cities at that time, and we utterly destroyed every city in succession, and their wives, and their children; we left no living prey.
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 Only we took the cattle captive, and took the spoil of the cities.
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 brink of the brook of Arnon, and the city which is in the valley, and as far as the mount of Galaad; there was not a city which escaped us: the Lord our God delivered all of them into our hands.
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 Only we did not draw near to the children of Amman, even all the parts bordering on the brook Jaboc, and the cities in the mountain country, as the Lord our God charged us.
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。”
