Numbers 21
1 And when the Canaanite, the king of 'Arad, who dwelt in the south, heard that Israel was coming by the way of the spies: he made an attack on Israel, and took from them some prisoners.
住南地的迦南人亞拉得王，聽說以色列人從亞他林路來，就和以色列人爭戰，擄了他們幾個人。
2 And Israel made a vow unto the Lord, and said, If thou wilt but deliver this people into my hand, then will I devote their cities.
以色列人向耶和華發願說：「你若將這民交付我手，我就把他們的城邑盡行毀滅。」
3 And the Lord hearkened to the voice of Israel, and he delivered up the Canaanites; and they devoted them and their cities: and they called the name of the place Chormah.
耶和華應允了以色列人，把迦南人交付他們，他們就把迦南人和迦南人的城邑盡行毀滅。那地方的名便叫何珥瑪。
4 And they set forward from mount Hor by the way to the Red Sea, to go round the land of Edom: and the spirit of the people became impatient because of the way.
他們從何珥山起行，往紅海那條路走，要繞過以東地。百姓因這路難行，心中甚是煩躁，
5 And the people spoke against God, and against Moses, Wherefore have ye brought us up out of Egypt to die in the wilderness? for there is no bread, and there is no water; and our soul loatheth this miserable bread.
就怨讟上帝和摩西說：「你們為甚麼把我們從埃及領出來、使我們死在曠野呢？這裏沒有糧，沒有水，我們的心厭惡這淡薄的食物。」
6 And the Lord let loose against the people poisonous serpents, and they bit the people; and there died much people of Israel.
於是耶和華使火蛇進入百姓中間，蛇就咬他們。以色列人中死了許多。
7 And the people then came to Moses, and they said, We have sinned, for we have spoken against the Lord, and against thee; pray unto the Lord, that he take away from us the serpents. And Moses prayed for the people.
百姓到摩西那裏，說：「我們怨讟耶和華和你，有罪了。求你禱告耶和華，叫這些蛇離開我們。」於是摩西為百姓禱告。
8 And the Lord said unto Moses, Make thyself a serpent, and set it upon a pole: and it shall come to pass, that whoever is bitten shall look at it, and he shall live.
耶和華對摩西說：「你製造一條火蛇，掛在杆子上；凡被咬的，一望這蛇，就必得活。」
9 And Moses made a serpent of copper, and put it upon a pole; and it came to pass, that, when a serpent had bitten any man, and he looked up to the serpent of copper, he remained alive.
摩西便製造一條銅蛇，掛在杆子上；凡被蛇咬的，一望這銅蛇就活了。
10 And the children of Israel set forward, and encamped in Oboth.
以色列人起行，安營在阿伯。
11 And they journeyed from Oboth, and encamped at 'Iye-ha'abarim, in the wilderness, which is before Moab, toward the rising of the sun.
又從阿伯起行，安營在以耶‧亞巴琳，與摩押相對的曠野，向日出之地。
12 From there they set forward and encamped in the valley of Zered.
從那裏起行，安營在撒烈谷。
13 From there they set forward, and encamped on the other side of Arnon, which is in the wilderness, and which cometh out of the boundary of the Emorites; for Arnon is the border of Moab, between Moab and between the Emorites.
從那裏起行，安營在亞嫩河那邊。這亞嫩河是在曠野，從亞摩利的境界流出來的；原來亞嫩河是摩押的邊界，在摩押和亞摩利人搭界的地方。
14 Therefore mention is made in the book of the wars of the Lord, of Vaheb in Supha, and of the brooks of Arnon,
所以耶和華的戰記上說：「蘇法的哇哈伯與亞嫩河的谷，
15 And the descent of the brooks, that turneth toward Shebeth-'Ar, and leaneth upon the border of Moab;
並向亞珥城眾谷的下坡，是靠近摩押的境界。」
16 And from there to the well; this is the well where the Lord said unto Moses, Assemble the people and I will give them water.
以色列人從那裏起行，到了比珥。從前耶和華吩咐摩西說：「招聚百姓，我好給他們水喝」，說的就是這井。
17 Then did Israel sing this song, Come up, O well; sing ye unto it:
當時，以色列人唱歌說： 井啊，湧上水來！ 你們要向這井歌唱。
18 Well, which the princes have dug, which the nobles of the people have hollowed out with the sceptre, with their staves; — and from the wilderness to Mattanah;
這井是首領和民中的尊貴人 用圭用杖所挖所掘的。 以色列人從曠野往瑪他拿去，
19 And from Mattanah to Nachaliel; and from Nachaliel to Bamoth;
從瑪他拿到拿哈列，從拿哈列到巴末，
20 And from Bamoth to the valley, which is in the fields of Moab, to the top of Pisgah, which looketh toward the desert.
從巴末到摩押地的谷，又到那下望曠野之毗斯迦的山頂。
21 And Israel sent messengers unto Sichon the king of the Emorites, saying,
以色列人差遣使者去見亞摩利人的王西宏，說：
22 Let me pass through thy land; we will not turn aside into field, or into vineyard; we will not drink the water of a well: by the king's highway will we go along, until we have passed thy border.
「求你容我們從你的地經過；我們不偏入田間和葡萄園，也不喝井裏的水，只走大道，直到過了你的境界。」
23 But Sichon would not suffer Israel to pass through his border; and Sichon assembled all his people together; and went out against Israel into the wilderness; and he came to Yahaz, and fought against Israel.
西宏不容以色列人從他的境界經過，就招聚他的眾民出到曠野，要攻擊以色列人，到了雅雜與以色列人爭戰。
24 And Israel smote him with the edge of the sword, and took possession of his land from Arnon unto Yabbok, even unto the children of 'Ammon; for the border of the children of 'Ammon was strong.
以色列人用刀殺了他，得了他的地，從亞嫩河到雅博河，直到亞捫人的境界，因為亞捫人的境界多有堅壘。
25 And Israel took all these cities; and Israel dwelt in all the cities of the Emorites, in Cheshbon, and in all the villages thereof.
以色列人奪取這一切的城邑，也住亞摩利人的城邑，就是希實本與希實本的一切鄉村。
26 For Cheshbon was the city of Sichon the king of the Emorites; and he had fought against the former king of Moab, and taken all his land out of his hand, up to the Arnon.
這希實本是亞摩利王西宏的京城；西宏曾與摩押的先王爭戰，從他手中奪取了全地，直到亞嫩河。
27 Therefore said the poets, Come into Cheshbon, let the city of Sichon be built and established.
所以那些作詩歌的說： 你們來到希實本； 願西宏的城被修造，被建立。
28 For a fire is gone out of Cheshbon, a flame from the city of Sichon: it hath consumed 'Ar-Moab, the men of the high places of the Arnon.
因為有火從希實本發出， 有火焰出於西宏的城， 燒盡摩押的亞珥和亞嫩河邱壇的祭司。
29 Woe to thee, Moab! thou art lost, O people of Kemosh: he hath suffered his sons to become fugitives, and his daughters to go into captivity, unto the king of the Emorites, Sichon.
摩押啊，你有禍了！ 基抹的民哪，你們滅亡了！ 基抹的男子逃奔， 女子被擄，交付亞摩利的王西宏。
30 We have thrown them down; lost is Cheshbon even unto Dibon, and we have laid waste [all] up to Nophach, which reacheth unto Medeba.
我們射了他們； 希實本直到底本盡皆毀滅。 我們使地變成荒場，直到挪法； 這挪法直延到米底巴。
31 Thus Israel dwelt in the land of the Emorites.
這樣，以色列人就住在亞摩利人之地。
32 And Moses sent to spy out Ya'zer, and they captured the villages thereof, and drove out the Emorites that were there.
摩西打發人去窺探雅謝，以色列人就佔了雅謝的鎮市，趕出那裏的亞摩利人。
33 And they turned and went up by the way to Bashan; and 'Og, the king of Bashan, went out against them, he, and all his people, to the battle at Edrei.
以色列人轉回，向巴珊去。巴珊王噩和他的眾民都出來，在以得來與他們交戰。
34 And the Lord said unto Moses, Fear him not; for into thy hand have I delivered him, and all his people, and his land; and thou shalt do unto him as thou hast done unto Sichon, the king of the Emorites, who dwelt at Cheshbon.
耶和華對摩西說：「不要怕他！因我已將他和他的眾民，並他的地，都交在你手中；你要待他像從前待住希實本的亞摩利王西宏一般。」
35 And they smote him and his sons, and all his people, until there was none left unto him that escaped; and they took possession of his land.
於是他們殺了他和他的眾子，並他的眾民，沒有留下一個，就得了他的地。
