Deuteronomy 2
1 And we yeden forth fro thennus, and camen in to the wildirnesse that ledith to the Reed See, as the Lord seide to me; and we cumpassiden the hil of Seir in long tyme.
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 the Lord seide to me, It sufficith to you to cumpasse this hil;
那時上主對我說：「
3 go ye ayens the north.
你們繞行這山地已夠久了，如今該轉向北方。
4 And comaunde thou to the puple, and seie, Ye schulen passe bi the termes of youre britheren, the sones of Esau, that dwellen in Seir, and thei schulen drede you.
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 Therfor se ye diligentli, that ye be not moued ayens hem; for Y schal not yyue to you of the land `of hem as myche as the steppe of o foot may trede, for Y yaf the hil of Seir in to the possessioun of Esau.
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 schulden bie of hem metis for money, and ye schulen ete; ye schulden drawe, and drynke watir bouyt.
你們應用錢向他們買糧吃，用錢向他們買水喝。
7 Thi Lord God blesside thee in al the werk of thin hondis; he knewe thi weye, hou thou passidist this moste wildirnesse, bi fourti yeer; and thi Lord God dwellide with thee, and no thing failide to thee.
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 whanne we hadden passid bi oure britheren, the sones of Esau, that dwelliden in Seir, bi the weie of the feeld of Elath, and of Asiongaber, we camen to the weie that ledith in to deseert 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 the Lord seide to me, Fiyte thou not ayens Moabitis, nether bigyn thou batel ayens hem, for Y schal not yyue to thee ony thing of the lond `of hem, for Y yaf Ar in to possessioun to `the sones of Loth.
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 Emyn, `that is, griseful men, weren first dwelleris therof, a greet puple, and strong, and so hiy, that thei weren bileued as giantis,
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 of the generacioun of Enachym, and thei weren lijk the sones of Enachym; forsothe Moabitis clepen hem Emyn.
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 Forsothe Horreis dwelliden bifore in Seir, and whanne thei weren put out, and weren doon awey, `the sones of Esau dwelliden there, as Israel dide in the lond of his possessioun, which the Lord yaf to hym.
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 Therfor we riseden, that we schulden passe the stronde of Zared, and camen to it.
你們現在起身，過則勒得溪。」我們就過了則勒得溪。
14 Sotheli the tyme in whiche we yeden fro Cades Barne `til to the passynge of the stronde of Zared, was of eiyte and thretti yeer, til al the generacioun of `men fiyteris was wastid fro `the castels, as the Lord hadde swore; whos hond was ayens hem,
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 that thei schulden perische fro the myddis of `the castels.
實在是上主的手攻擊了他們，使他們由營中完全消滅。
16 Forsothe after that alle the fiyteris felden doun,
所有的戰士由民中死盡以後，
17 the Lord spak to me, and seide,
上主吩咐我說：「
18 Thou schalt passe to dai the termes of Moab,
你今天路過摩阿布的領土，即阿爾，
19 the cytee, Ar bi name, and thou schalt neiy in the nyy coost of the sones of Amon; be thou war that thou fiyte not ayens hem, nether be moued to batel; for Y schal not yyue to thee of the lond of the sones of Amon, for Y yaf it to the `sones of Loth in to possessioun.
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 It is arettid the lond of giauntis, and giauntis enhabitiden therynne sumtyme, whiche giauntis Amonytis clepen Zonym;
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 myche puple and greet, and of noble lengthe, as Enachym, whiche the Lord dide awey fro the face of hem,
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 and made hem to dwelle for `tho giauntis, as he dide to the sones of Esau, that dwellen in Seire, `and dide awai Horreis, and yaf to hem the lond `of Horreis, which `the sones of Esau welden `til in to present tyme.
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 Also men of Capadocie puttiden out Eueys, that dwelliden in Asseryn, `til to Gaza; which yeden out fro Capadocie, and diden awey Eueis, and dwelliden for hem.
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, and `passe ye the stronde of Arnon; lo! Y haue bitake in `thin hond Seon, king of Esebon, of Amorreis; and his lond bigynne thou `to welde, and smyte thou batel ayens him.
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 To dai Y schal bigynne to sende thi drede and strengthe in to puplis that dwellen vndir al heuene, that whanne thi name is herd, thei drede, and tremble bi the maner of wymmen trauelynge of child, and `be holdun with sorewe.
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 Therfor Y sente messangeris fro the wildirnesse of Cademoch to Seon, kyng of Esebon; and Y seide with pesible wordis,
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 We schulen passe thorou thi lond, we schulen go in the comyn weie; we schulen not bowe nether to the riyt side, nether to the left side.
讓我從你國內經過，我只走大道，不偏右也不偏左。
28 Sille thow metis `to vs for prijs, that we ete; yif thow watir for money, and so we schulen drynke. Oneli it is that thou graunte passage to vs,
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 sones of Esau diden, that dwellen in Seir, and as Moabitis diden, that dwellen in Ar, til we comen to Jordan, and passen to the lond which oure Lord God schal yyue to vs.
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 And Seon, kyng of Esebon, nolde yyue passage `to vs; for thi Lord God made hard his spirit, and made sad in yuel `the herte of hym, that he schulde be bitakun in to thin hondis, as thou seest now.
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 the Lord seide to me, Lo, Y bigan to bitake to thee Seon, and his lond; bigynne thou to welde it.
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 And Seon yede out ayens vs with al his puple to batel in Jasa.
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 oure Lord God bitook hym to vs, and we han smyte hym with hise sones, and al his puple.
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 token in that tyme alle the citees, whanne the dwelleris of tho citees, men, and wymmen, and children weren slayn; we leften not in hem ony thing,
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 outakun beestis that camen in to the part of men takynge prey, and outakun spuylis of the cytees whiche we tokun.
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 Fro Aroer, which is on the brenke of the stronde of Arnon, fro the toun which is set in the valey, `til to Galaad, no town was ether citee, that ascapide oure hondis.
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 Oure Lord God bitook alle to vs; outakun the lond of the sones of Amon, to which lond we neiyiden not, and outakun alle thingis that liggen to the stronde of Jeboth, and outakun the citees of the munteyns, and alle places fro whiche oure Lord God forbeed vs.
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。
