< Numbers 21 >

1 And whanne Chananei, the kyng of Arad, that dwellide at the south, hadde herd this, that is, that Israel cam bi the weye of aspieris, he fauyt ayens hem; and Chananei was ouercomere and ledde pray of Israel.
住南地的迦南人亚拉得王,听说以色列人从亚他林路来,就和以色列人争战,掳了他们几个人。
2 And Israel bounde hym sylf bi avow to the Lord, and seide, If thou schalt bitake this puple in myn hond, Y schal do awei `the citees therof.
以色列人向耶和华发愿说:“你若将这民交付我手,我就把他们的城邑尽行毁灭。”
3 And the Lord herde the preieris of Israel, and bitook the Chananey; and Israel killid hym, and distruyede hise citees; and clepide the name of that place Horma, that is, cursyng, `ethir hangyng up.
耶和华应允了以色列人,把迦南人交付他们,他们就把迦南人和迦南人的城邑尽行毁灭。那地方的名便叫何珥玛。
4 `Forsothe thei yeden forth also fro the hil of Hor, bi the weie that ledith to the reed see, that thei schulden cumpasse the lond of Edom; and it bigan to anoye the puple, of the weie and trauel.
他们从何珥山起行,往红海那条路走,要绕过以东地。百姓因这路难行,心中甚是烦躁,
5 And the puple spak ayens the Lord and Moises, and seide, Whi leddist thou vs out of Egipt, that we schulden die in wildirnesse? breed failith, watris ben not; oure soule wlatith now on this `meete moost liyt.
就怨 神和摩西说:“你们为什么把我们从埃及领出来、使我们死在旷野呢?这里没有粮,没有水,我们的心厌恶这淡薄的食物。”
6 Wherfor the Lord sente `firid serpentis in to the puple; at the woundis of whiche serpentis, and the dethis of ful many men,
于是耶和华使火蛇进入百姓中间,蛇就咬他们。以色列人中死了许多。
7 thei camen to Moyses, and seiden, We synneden, for we spaken ayens the Lord and thee; preie thou, that he take awey fro vs the serpentis.
百姓到摩西那里,说:“我们怨 耶和华和你,有罪了。求你祷告耶和华,叫这些蛇离开我们。”于是摩西为百姓祷告。
8 And Moises preiede for the puple; and the Lord seide to hym, Make thou a serpent of bras, and sette thou it for a signe; he that is smytun and biholdith it, schal lyue.
耶和华对摩西说:“你制造一条火蛇,挂在杆子上;凡被咬的,一望这蛇,就必得活。”
9 Therfor Moyses made a serpent of bras, and settide for a signe; and men smytun and biholdynge it, weren heelid.
摩西便制造一条铜蛇,挂在杆子上;凡被蛇咬的,一望这铜蛇就活了。
10 And the sones of Israel yeden forth,
以色列人起行,安营在阿伯。
11 and settiden tentis in Oboth; fro whennus thei yeden forth, and settiden tentis in Neabarym, in the wildirnesse, that biholdith Moab, ayens the eest coost.
又从阿伯起行,安营在以耶·亚巴琳,与摩押相对的旷野,向日出之地。
12 And thei moueden fro thennus, and camen to the stronde of Zareth;
从那里起行,安营在撒烈谷。
13 which thei leften, and settiden tentis ayens Arnon, which is in the deseert, and apperith in the coostis of Amorrei. Forsothe Arnon is the terme of Moab, and departith Moabitis and Ammoreis.
从那里起行,安营在亚嫩河那边。这亚嫩河是在旷野,从亚摩利的境界流出来的;原来亚嫩河是摩押的边界,在摩押和亚摩利人搭界的地方。
14 Wherfor it is seid in the book of batels of the Lord, As he dide in the reed see, so he schal do in the strondis of Arnon;
所以耶和华的战记上说:“苏法的哇哈伯与亚嫩河的谷,
15 the harde rochis of the strondis weren bowid, that tho schulen reste in Arnon, and schulden ligge in the coostis of Moabitis.
并向亚珥城众谷的下坡,是靠近摩押的境界。”
16 Fro that place the pit apperide, of which the Lord spak to Moyses, Gadere thou the puple, and Y schal yyue watir to it.
以色列人从那里起行,到了比珥。从前耶和华吩咐摩西说:“招聚百姓,我好给他们水喝”,说的就是这井。
17 Thanne Israel soong this song, The pit stie;
当时,以色列人唱歌说: 井啊,涌上水来! 你们要向这井歌唱。
18 thei sungen togidere, The pit which the princes diggiden, and the duykis of the multitude maden redi, in the yyuere of the lawe, and in her stauys. And thei yeden forth fro the wildirnesse to Mathana,
这井是首领和民中的尊贵人 用圭用杖所挖所掘的。 以色列人从旷野往玛他拿去,
19 fro Mathana to Naaliel, fro Naaliel in to Bamoth;
从玛他拿到拿哈列,从拿哈列到巴末,
20 Bamoth is a valey in the cuntrey of Moab, in the cop of Phasga, that biholdith ayens the deseert.
从巴末到摩押地的谷,又到那下望旷野之毗斯迦的山顶。
21 Forsothe Israel sente messangeris to Seon, kyng of Ammorreis, and seide,
以色列人差遣使者去见亚摩利人的王西宏,说:
22 Y biseche that it be leueful to me to passe thorou thi loond; we schulen not bowe in to the feeldis and vyneris; we schulen not drynke watris of pittis; we schulen go in the kyngis weie, til we passen thi termes.
“求你容我们从你的地经过;我们不偏入田间和葡萄园,也不喝井里的水,只走大道,直到过了你的境界。”
23 Which nolde graunte that Israel schulde passe thury hise coostis, but rather, whanne the oost was gaderid, he yede out ayens Israel, in to deseert. And he cam in to Yasa, and fauyt ayens Israel;
西宏不容以色列人从他的境界经过,就招聚他的众民出到旷野,要攻击以色列人,到了雅杂与以色列人争战。
24 of whom he was smytun in the scharpnesse of swerd, and his lond was weldid fro Arnon `til to Jeboth and `the sones of Amon; for the termes of Amonytis weren holdun bi strong help.
以色列人用刀杀了他,得了他的地,从亚嫩河到雅博河,直到亚扪人的境界,因为亚扪人的境界多有坚垒。
25 Therfor Israel took alle `the citees of hym, and dwelliden in the citees of Amorrei, that is, in Esebon, and hise townes.
以色列人夺取这一切的城邑,也住亚摩利人的城邑,就是希实本与希实本的一切乡村。
26 The citee of Esebon was Seons, kyng of Ammorei, which Seon fauyt ayens the kyng of Moab, and took al the lond that was of his lordschip, `til to Arnon.
这希实本是亚摩利王西宏的京城;西宏曾与摩押的先王争战,从他手中夺取了全地,直到亚嫩河。
27 Therfor it is seid in prouerbe, Come ye in to Esebon, be it bildid, and maad the citee of Seon;
所以那些作诗歌的说: 你们来到希实本; 愿西宏的城被修造,被建立。
28 fier yede out of Esebon, flawme yede out of the citee `ethir greet castel of Seon, and deuouryde Ar of Moabitis, and the dwelleris of the `hiye places of Arnon.
因为有火从希实本发出, 有火焰出于西宏的城, 烧尽摩押的亚珥和亚嫩河邱坛的祭司 。
29 Moab, wo to thee! thou, puple of Chamos, perischidist; it yaf the sones therof in to fliyt, and the douytris in to caitifte to Seon, kyng of Ammoreis;
摩押啊,你有祸了! 基抹的民哪,你们灭亡了! 基抹的男子逃奔, 女子被掳,交付亚摩利的王西宏。
30 the yok of hem perischide, fro Esebon `til to Dibon; the wery men camen in to Jophe, and `til to Medaba.
我们射了他们; 希实本直到底本尽皆毁灭。 我们使地变成荒场,直到挪法; 这挪法直延到米底巴。
31 And so Israel dwellide in the lond of Ammorrey.
这样,以色列人就住在亚摩利人之地。
32 And Moises sente men that schulden aspie Jaser, whos `townes thei token, and weldiden the dwelleris.
摩西打发人去窥探雅谢,以色列人就占了雅谢的镇市,赶出那里的亚摩利人。
33 And thei turniden hem silf, and stieden bi the weie of Basan. And Og, the kyng of Basan, with al his puple cam ayens hem, to fiyte in Edray.
以色列人转回,向巴珊去。巴珊王噩和他的众民都出来,在以得来与他们交战。
34 And the Lord seide to Moises, Drede thou not hym, for Y haue bitake hym, and al his loond, and puple, in thin hoond; and thou schalt do to hym as thou didist to Seon, kyng of Ammorreis, the dwellere of Esebon.
耶和华对摩西说:“不要怕他!因我已将他和他的众民,并他的地,都交在你手中;你要待他像从前待住希实本的亚摩利王西宏一般。”
35 Therfor thei smytiden `bothe hym with hise sones and al his puple, `til to deeth; and thei weldiden `the lond of hym.
于是他们杀了他和他的众子,并他的众民,没有留下一个,就得了他的地。
