Deuteronomy 2
1 “And we turn and journey into the wilderness, the way of the Red Sea, as YHWH has spoken to me, and we go around Mount Seir [for] many days.
Profectique inde venimus in solitudinem, quae ducit ad Mare rubrum, sicut mihi dixerat Dominus: et circuivimus montem Seir longo tempore.
2 And YHWH speaks to me, saying,
Dixitque Dominus ad me:
3 For you go around this mountain long enough; turn for yourselves northward.
Sufficit vobis circuire montem istum: ite contra Aquilonem:
4 And the people command you, saying, You are passing over into the border of your brothers, sons of Esau, who are dwelling in Seir, and they are afraid of you; and you have been very watchful;
et populo praecipe, dicens: Transibitis per terminos fratrum vestrorum filiorum Esau, qui habitant in Seir, et timebunt vos.
5 you do not strive with them, for I do not give [any] of their land to you—even the treading of the sole of a foot; I have given Mount Seir to Esau for a possession.
Videte ergo diligenter ne moveamini contra eos. neque enim dabo vobis de terra eorum quantum potest unius pedis calcare vestigium, quia in possessionem Esau dedi montem Seir.
6 You buy food from them with money, and have eaten; and you also buy water from them with money, and have drunk.
Cibos emetis ab eis pecunia, et comedetis: aquam emptam haurietis, et bibetis.
7 For your God YHWH has blessed you in all the work of your hands; He has known your walking in this great wilderness these forty years; your God YHWH [is] with you; you have not lacked anything.
Dominus Deus tuus benedixit tibi in omni opere manuum tuarum: novit iter tuum, quomodo transieris solitudinem hanc magnam, per quadraginta annos habitans tecum Dominus Deus tuus, et nihil tibi defuit.
8 And we pass by from our brothers, sons of Esau, who are dwelling in Seir, by the way of the plain, by Elath and by Ezion-Gaber, and we turn and pass over the way of the wilderness of Moab;
Cumque transissemus fratres nostros filios Esau, qui habitabant in Seir, per viam campestrem de Elath, et de Asiongaber, venimus ad iter, quod ducit in desertum Moab.
9 and YHWH says to me, Do not distress Moab, nor stir yourself up against them [in] battle, for I do not give [any] of their land to you [for] a possession; for I have given Ar to the sons of Lot [for] a possession.
Dixitque Dominus ad me: Non pugnes contra Moabitas, nec ineas adversus eos praelium: non enim dabo tibi quidquam de terra eorum, quia filiis Loth tradidi Ar in possessionem.
10 The Emim have formerly dwelt in it, a people great, and numerous, and tall as the Anakim;
Emim primi fuerunt habitatores eius, populus magnus, et validus, et tam excelsus ut de Enacim stirpe,
11 they are reckoned [as] Rephaim, they also, as the Anakim; and the Moabites call them Emim.
quasi gigantes crederentur, et essent similes filiorum Enacim. Denique Moabitae appellant eos Emim.
12 And the Horim have formerly dwelt in Seir, but the sons of Esau dispossess them, and destroy them from before them, and dwell in their stead, as Israel has done to the land of his possession which YHWH has given to them.
In Seir autem prius habitaverunt Horrhaei: quibus expulsis atque deletis, habitaverunt filii Esau, sicut fecit Israel in terra possessionis suae, quam dedit illi Dominus.
13 Now rise and pass over the Brook of Zered for yourselves; and we pass over the Brook of Zered.
Surgentes ergo ut transiremus Torrentem Zared, venimus ad eum.
14 And the days which we have walked from Kadesh-Barnea until we have passed over the Brook of Zered [are] thirty-eight years, until the consumption of all the generation of the men of battle from the midst of the camp, as YHWH has sworn to them;
Tempus autem, quo ambulavimus de Cadesbarne usque ad transitum torrentis Zared, triginta et octo annorum fuit: donec consumeretur omnis generatio hominum bellatorum de castris, sicut iuraverat Dominus:
15 and indeed the hand of YHWH has been against them, to destroy them from the midst of the camp until they are consumed.
cuius manus fuit adversum eos, ut interirent de castrorum medio.
16 And it comes to pass, when all the men of battle have finished dying from the midst of the people,
Postquam autem universi ceciderunt pugnatores,
17 that YHWH speaks to me, saying,
locutus est Dominus ad me, dicens:
18 Today you are passing over the border of Moab, even Ar,
Tu transibis hodie terminos Moab, urbem nomine Ar:
19 and [when] you have come near the sons of Ammon, you do not distress them, nor stir yourself up against them, for I do not give [any] of the land of the sons of Ammon to you [for] a possession; for I have given it to the sons of Lot [for] a possession.
et accedens in vicina filiorum Ammon, cave ne pugnes contra eos, nec movearis ad praelium: non enim dabo tibi de terra filiorum Ammon, quia filiis Loth dedi eam in possessionem.
20 It is reckoned [as] a land of Rephaim, even it; Rephaim formerly dwelt in it, and the Ammonites call them Zamzummim,
Terra gigantum reputata est: et in ipsa olim habitaverunt gigantes, quos Ammonitae vocant Zomzommim,
21 a people great, and numerous, and tall as the Anakim, and YHWH destroys them before them, and they dispossess them, and dwell in their stead,
populus magnus, et procerae longitudinis, sicut Enacim, quos delevit Dominus a facie eorum: et fecit illos habitare pro eis,
22 as He has done for the sons of Esau who are dwelling in Seir, when He destroyed the Horim from before them, and they dispossess them, and dwell in their stead to this day.
sicut fecerat filiis Esau, qui habitant in Seir, delens Horrhaeos, et terram eorum illis tradens, quam possident usque in praesens.
23 As for the Avim who are dwelling in villages as far as Gaza, the Caphtorim—who are coming out from Caphtor—have destroyed them, and dwell in their stead.
Hevaeos quoque, qui habitabant in Haserim usque Gazan, Cappadoces expulerunt: qui egressi de Cappadocia deleverunt eos, et habitaverunt pro illis.
24 Rise, journey, and pass over the Brook of Arnon; see, I have given into your hand Sihon king of Heshbon, the Amorite, and his land; begin to possess [it], and stir yourself up against him [in] battle.
Surgite, et transite torrentem Arnon: ecce tradidi in manu tua Sehon regem Hesebon Amorrhaeum, et terram eius incipe possidere, et committe adversus eum praelium.
25 This [is] the day I begin to put your dread and your fear on the face of the peoples under the whole heavens, who hear your fame, and have trembled and been pained because of you.
Hodie incipiam mittere terrorem atque formidinem tuam in populos, qui habitant sub omni caelo: ut audito nomine tuo paveant, et in morem parturientium contremiscant, et dolore teneantur.
26 And I send messengers from the wilderness of Kedemoth to Sihon king of Heshbon, [with] words of peace, saying,
Misi ergo nuncios de solitudine Cademoth ad Sehon regem Hesebon verbis pacificis, dicens:
27 Let me pass over through your land; in the way—in the way I go, I do not turn aside [to the] right or left.
Transibimus per terram tuam, publica gradiemur via: non declinabimus neque ad dexteram, neque ad sinistram.
28 You sell me food for money, and I have eaten; and you give to me water for money, and I have drunk; only, let me pass over on my feet,
Alimenta pretio vende nobis, ut vescamur: aquam pecunia tribue, et sic bibemus. Tantum est ut nobis concedas transitum,
29 as the sons of Esau who are dwelling in Seir and the Moabites who are dwelling in Ar have done for me, until I pass over the Jordan to the land which our God YHWH is giving to us.
sicut fecerunt filii Esau, qui habitant in Seir, et Moabitae, qui morantur in Ar: donec veniamus ad Iordanem, et transeamus ad Terram, quam Dominus Deus noster daturus est nobis.
30 And Sihon king of Heshbon has not been willing to let us pass over by him, for your God YHWH has hardened his spirit and strengthened his heart, so as to give him into your hand as at this day.
Noluitque Sehon rex Hesebon dare nobis transitum: quia induraverat Dominus Deus tuus spiritum eius, et obfirmaverat cor illius, ut traderetur in manus tuas, sicut nunc vides.
31 And YHWH says to me, See, I have begun to give Sihon and his land before your faces; begin to possess—to possess his land.
Dixitque Dominus ad me: Ecce coepi tibi tradere Sehon, et terram eius, incipe possidere eam.
32 And Sihon comes out to meet us, he and all his people, to the battle at Jahaz;
Egressusque est Sehon obviam nobis cum omni populo suo ad praelium in Iasa.
33 and our God YHWH gives him before our faces, and we strike him, and his sons, and all his people;
Et tradidit eum Dominus Deus noster nobis: percussimusque eum cum filiis suis et omni populo suo.
34 and we capture all his cities at that time, and devote the whole city—men, and the women, and the infants; we have not left a remnant;
Cunctasque urbes in tempore illo cepimus, interfectis habitatoribus earum, viris ac mulieribus et parvulis. non reliquimus in eis quidquam.
35 only, we have spoiled the livestock for ourselves, and the spoil of the cities which we have captured.
Absque iumentis, quae in partem venere praedantium: et spoliis urbium, quas cepimus
36 From Aroer, which [is] by the edge of the Brook of Arnon, and the city which [is] by the brook, even to Gilead, there has not been a city which [is] too high for us; our God YHWH has given the whole before our faces.
ab Aroer, quae est super ripam torrentis Arnon, oppido quod in valle situm est, usque Galaad. Non fuit vicus et civitas, quae nostras effugeret manus: omnes tradidit Dominus Deus noster nobis.
37 Only, you have not drawn near to the land of the sons of Ammon—any part of the Brook of Jabbok, and cities of the hill-country, and anything which our God YHWH has [not] commanded.”
Absque terra filiorum Ammon, ad quam non accessimus: et cunctis quae adiacent torrenti Ieboc, et urbibus montanis, universisque locis, a quibus nos prohibuit Dominus Deus noster.
