Deuteronomy 2
1 Then turned we, and set forward towards the desert by way of the Red Sea, as Yahweh, spake unto me; and we encompassed Mount Seir many days.
「此後，我們轉回，從紅海的路往曠野去，是照耶和華所吩咐我的。我們在西珥山繞行了許多日子。
2 And Yahweh spake unto me, saying:
耶和華對我說：
3 Long enough, have ye encompassed this mountain, —turn yourselves north, wards.
『你們繞行這山的日子夠了，要轉向北去。
4 And, the people, command thou saying, Ye are about to pass through the boundary of your brethren the sons of Esau, who are dwelling in Seir, —and should they be afraid of you, take ye good heed to yourselves:
你吩咐百姓說：你們弟兄以掃的子孫住在西珥，你們要經過他們的境界。他們必懼怕你們，所以你們要分外謹慎。
5 do not engage in strife with them, for I will not give you of their land, so much as place for the tread of a foot-sole, —for as a possession to Esau, have I given Mount Seir.
不可與他們爭戰；他們的地，連腳掌可踏之處，我都不給你們，因我已將西珥山賜給以掃為業。
6 Food, shall ye buy of them with silver so shall ye eat, —yea even water, shall ye buy of them with silver so shall ye drink.
你們要用錢向他們買糧吃，也要用錢向他們買水喝。
7 For Yahweh thy God, hath blessed thee in all the work of thy hand, he hath considered thy traversing of this great desert, —these forty years, hath Yahweh thy God been with thee, thou hast lacked, nothing.
因為耶和華－你的上帝在你手裏所辦的一切事上已賜福與你。你走這大曠野，他都知道了。這四十年，耶和華－你的上帝常與你同在，故此你一無所缺。』
8 So we passed on, a way from our brethren the sons of Esau who dwell in Seir, from the way of the waste plain, from Elath, and from Ezion-geber, —and we turned and passed on by way of the desert of Moab.
「於是，我們離了我們弟兄以掃子孫所住的西珥，從亞拉巴的路，經過以拉他、以旬‧迦別，轉向摩押曠野的路去。
9 And Yahweh said unto me—Do not lay siege to Moab, nor engage in strife with them in battle, —for I will not give unto thee of this land as a possession, for unto the sons of Lot, have I given Ar, as a possession.
耶和華吩咐我說：『不可擾害摩押人，也不可與他們爭戰。他們的地，我不賜給你為業，因我已將亞珥賜給羅得的子孫為業。』（
10 the Emim, formerly dwelt therein, —a people great and many and tall, like the Anakim.
先前，有以米人住在那裏，民數眾多，身體高大，像亞衲人一樣。
11 Giants, used, they also, to be accounted like the Anakim, —but the Moabites, called them Emim.
這以米人像亞衲人；也算為利乏音人；摩押人稱他們為以米人。
12 And in Seir, dwelt the Horim aforetime, but, the sons of Esau, dispossessed them, and destroyed them from before them, and dwelt in their stead, —as did Israel unto the land of his own possession, which Yahweh had given unto them.
先前，何利人也住在西珥，但以掃的子孫將他們除滅，得了他們的地，接着居住，就如以色列在耶和華賜給他為業之地所行的一樣。）
13 Now, arise, and pass ye over the ravine of Zered. So we passed over the ravine of Zered.
現在，起來過撒烈溪！於是我們過了撒烈溪。
14 Now, the days in which we journeyed from Kadesh-barnea, as far as where we crossed the ravine of Zered, were thirty-eight years, —until all the generation of the men of war were consumed out of the midst of the camp, as Yahweh had sworn unto them.
自從離開加低斯‧巴尼亞，到過了撒烈溪的時候，共有三十八年，等那世代的兵丁都從營中滅盡，正如耶和華向他們所起的誓。
15 Yea, even the hand of Yahweh was against them, to destroy them out of the midst of the camp, —until they were consumed.
耶和華的手也攻擊他們，將他們從營中除滅，直到滅盡。
16 So it came to pass when all the men of war were consumed by dying, out of the midst of the people,
「兵丁從民中都滅盡死亡以後，
17 then spake Yahweh unto me, saying:
耶和華吩咐我說：
18 Thou, art passing, to-day, the boundary of Moab even Ar;
『你今天要從摩押的境界亞珥經過，
19 so wilt thou draw near over against the sons of Ammon, do not thou besiege them neither engage in strife with them, —for I will not give of the land of the sons of Ammon unto thee as a possession, for unto the sons of Lot, have I given it as a possession.
走近亞捫人之地，不可擾害他們，也不可與他們爭戰。亞捫人的地，我不賜給你們為業，因我已將那地賜給羅得的子孫為業。』（
20 A land of giants, used, that also, to be accounted, —giants, dwelt therein aforetime, but the Ammonites, called them Zamzummim:
那地也算為利乏音人之地，先前利乏音人住在那裏，亞捫人稱他們為散送冥。
21 a people great and many and tall, like the Anakim, —but Yahweh destroyed them from before them, and they took their possessions, and dwelt in their stead:
那民眾多，身體高大，像亞衲人一樣，但耶和華從亞捫人面前除滅他們，亞捫人就得了他們的地，接着居住。
22 as he did for the sons of Esau, who are dwelling in Seir, —when he destroyed the Horim from before them, and they took their possessions and have dwelt in their stead, even unto this day.
正如耶和華從前為住西珥的以掃子孫將何利人從他們面前除滅、他們得了何利人的地、接着居住一樣，直到今日。
23 The Avvim also, who dwelt in settlements as far as Gaza, Caphtorim, who were coming forth out of Caphtor, destroyed them, and dwelt in their stead.
從迦斐託出來的迦斐託人將先前住在鄉村直到迦薩的亞衛人除滅，接着居住。）
24 Arise ye, set forward and cross over the ravine of Arnon, see! I have given into thy hand—Sihon king of Heshbon, the Amorite and his land, begin—take possession, —and engage in strife with him in battle.
你們起來前往，過亞嫩谷；我已將亞摩利人希實本王西宏和他的地交在你手中，你要與他爭戰，得他的地為業。
25 This day, will I begin to extend the dread of thee and the fear of thee over the face of the peoples under all the heavens, —who will hear the report of thee, then will they quake and writhe in pain because of thee.
從今日起，我要使天下萬民聽見你的名聲都驚恐懼怕，且因你發顫傷慟。」
26 So I sent messengers out of the desert of Kademoth, unto Sihon, king of Heshbon, —with words of peace saying:
「我從基底莫的曠野差遣使者去見希實本王西宏，用和睦的話說：
27 I would pass along through thy land, by the road, by the road, will I go, —I will not turn aside, to the right hand or to the left:
『求你容我從你的地經過，只走大道，不偏左右。
28 Food for silver, shalt thou sell me so will I eat, and water for silver, shalt thou let me have, so will I drink, —only I would pass through on my feet; —
你可以賣糧給我吃，也可以賣水給我喝，只要容我步行過去，
29 as the sons of Esau, who are dwelling in Seir, did to me, and the Moabites who are dwelling in Ar, —until that I pass over the Jordan, into the land which, Yahweh our God, is giving unto us.
就如住西珥的以掃子孫和住亞珥的摩押人待我一樣，等我過了約旦河，好進入耶和華－我們上帝所賜給我們的地。』
30 But Sihon king of Heshbon, was not willing, to let us pass along through it, —for Yahweh thy God had suffered him to make his spirit harsh and his heart bold, that he might give him into thy hand—(as [appeareth] this day).
但希實本王西宏不容我們從他那裏經過；因為耶和華－你的上帝使他心中剛硬，性情頑梗，為要將他交在你手中，像今日一樣。
31 Then said Yahweh unto me, See! I have begun to deliver up before thee Sihon and his land, —begin take possession, that thou mayest make a possession of his land.
耶和華對我說：『從此起首，我要將西宏和他的地交給你；你要得他的地為業。』
32 So then Sihon came out to meet us he, and all his people, to give battle at Jahaz.
那時，西宏和他的眾民出來攻擊我們，在雅雜與我們交戰。
33 And Yahweh our God delivered him up before us, —and we smote him and his sons, and all his people
耶和華－我們的上帝將他交給我們，我們就把他和他的兒子，並他的眾民，都擊殺了。
34 And we captured all his cities, at that time, and devoted to destruction every city of males, with the women and the little ones, —we left not remaining a survivor:
我們奪了他的一切城邑，將有人煙的各城，連女人帶孩子，盡都毀滅，沒有留下一個。
35 only the cattle, made we our prey, —and the spoil of the cities which we captured.
惟有牲畜和所奪的各城，並其中的財物，都取為自己的掠物。
36 From Aroer, which is on the edge of the ravine of Arnon and the city that is in the ravine even as far as Gilead, there was not a fortress that proved too high for us, —the whole, did Yahweh our God deliver up before us.
從亞嫩谷邊的亞羅珥和谷中的城，直到基列，耶和華－我們的上帝都交給我們了，沒有一座城高得使我們不能攻取的。
37 Only unto the land of the sons of Ammon, didst thou not come near, —all the side of the Jabbok ravine, nor the cities of the hill country, nor any which Yahweh our God had forbidden to us.
惟有亞捫人之地，凡靠近雅博河的地，並山地的城邑，與耶和華－我們上帝所禁止我們去的地方，都沒有挨近。」
