Deuteronomii 2
1 Profectique inde venimus in solitudinem, quae ducit ad Mare rubrum, sicut mihi dixerat Dominus: et circuivimus montem Seir longo tempore.
Then we turned, and took our journey into the wilderness by the way to the Red Sea, as Jehovah spoke to me. And we encompassed mount Seir many days.
2 Dixitque Dominus ad me:
And Jehovah spoke to me, saying,
3 Sufficit vobis circuire montem istum: ite contra Aquilonem:
Ye have encompassed this mountain long enough, turn northward.
4 et populo praecipe, dicens: Transibitis per terminos fratrum vestrorum filiorum Esau, qui habitant in Seir, et timebunt vos.
And command thou the people, saying, Ye are to pass through the border of your brothers the sons of Esau, who dwell in Seir, and they will be afraid of you. Take ye good heed to yourselves therefore.
5 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.
Do not contend with them, for I will not give you of their land, no, not so much as for the sole of the foot to tread on, because I have given mount Seir to Esau for a possession.
6 Cibos emetis ab eis pecunia, et comedetis: aquam emptam haurietis, et bibetis.
Ye shall purchase food from them for money, that ye may eat, and ye shall also buy water from them for money, that ye may drink.
7 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.
For Jehovah thy God has blessed thee in all the work of thy hand. He has known thy walking through this great wilderness. These forty years Jehovah thy God has been with thee; thou have lacked nothing.
8 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.
So we passed by from our brothers the sons of Esau, who dwell in Seir, from the way of the Arabah from Elath and from Ezion-geber. And we turned and passed by the way of the wilderness of Moab.
9 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.
And Jehovah said to me, Do not vex Moab, neither contend with them in battle, for I will not give thee of his land for a possession, because I have given Ar to the sons of Lot for a possession.
10 Emim primi fuerunt habitatores eius, populus magnus, et validus, et tam excelsus ut de Enacim stirpe,
(The Emim dwelt in it formerly, a people great, and many, and tall, as the Anakim.
11 quasi gigantes crederentur, et essent similes filiorum Enacim. Denique Moabitae appellant eos Emim.
These also are accounted Rephaim, as the Anakim, but the Moabites call them Emim.
12 In Seir autem prius habitaverunt Horrhaei: quibus expulsis atque deletis, habitaverunt filii Esau, sicut fecit Israel in terra possessionis suae, quam dedit illi Dominus.
The Horites also dwelt in Seir formerly, but the sons of Esau succeeded them. And they destroyed them from before them, and dwelt in their stead, as Israel did to the land of his possession, which Jehovah gave to them.)
13 Surgentes ergo ut transiremus Torrentem Zared, venimus ad eum.
Now rise up, and get you over the brook Zered. And we went over the brook Zered.
14 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:
And the days in which we came from Kadesh-barnea, until we came over the brook Zered, were thirty-eight years; until all the generation of the men of war were consumed from the midst of the camp, as Jehovah swore to them.
15 cuius manus fuit adversum eos, ut interirent de castrorum medio.
Moreover the hand of Jehovah was against them, to destroy them from the midst of the camp, until they were consumed.
16 Postquam autem universi ceciderunt pugnatores,
So it came to pass, when all the men of war were consumed and dead from among the people,
17 locutus est Dominus ad me, dicens:
that Jehovah spoke to me, saying,
18 Tu transibis hodie terminos Moab, urbem nomine Ar:
Thou are this day to pass over Ar, the border of Moab.
19 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.
And when thou come near opposite the sons of Ammon, do not vex them, nor contend with them, for I will not give thee of the land of the sons of Ammon for a possession, because I have given it to the sons of Lot for a possession.
20 Terra gigantum reputata est: et in ipsa olim habitaverunt gigantes, quos Ammonitae vocant Zomzommim,
(That also is accounted a land of Rephaim. Rephaim dwelt in it formerly, but the Ammonites call them Zamzummim,
21 populus magnus, et procerae longitudinis, sicut Enacim, quos delevit Dominus a facie eorum: et fecit illos habitare pro eis,
a people great, and many, and tall, as the Anakim. But Jehovah destroyed them before them, and they succeeded them, and dwelt in their stead,
22 sicut fecerat filiis Esau, qui habitant in Seir, delens Horrhaeos, et terram eorum illis tradens, quam possident usque in praesens.
as he did for the sons of Esau, who dwell in Seir, when he destroyed the Horites from before them. And they succeeded them, and dwelt in their stead even to this day.
23 Hevaeos quoque, qui habitabant in Haserim usque Gazan, Cappadoces expulerunt: qui egressi de Cappadocia deleverunt eos, et habitaverunt pro illis.
And the Avvim, who dwelt in villages as far as Gaza, the Caphtorim, who came forth out of Caphtor, destroyed them, and dwelt in their stead.)
24 Surgite, et transite torrentem Arnon: ecce tradidi in manu tua Sehon regem Hesebon Amorrhaeum, et terram eius incipe possidere, et committe adversus eum praelium.
Rise ye up, take your journey, and pass over the valley of the Arnon. Behold, I have given into thy hand Sihon the Amorite, king of Heshbon, and his land. Begin to possess it, and contend with him in battle.
25 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.
This day I will begin to put the dread of thee and the fear of thee upon the peoples who are under the whole heaven, who shall hear the report of thee, and shall tremble, and be in anguish because of thee.
26 Misi ergo nuncios de solitudine Cademoth ad Sehon regem Hesebon verbis pacificis, dicens:
And I sent messengers out of the wilderness of Kedemoth to Sihon king of Heshbon with words of peace, saying,
27 Transibimus per terram tuam, publica gradiemur via: non declinabimus neque ad dexteram, neque ad sinistram.
Let me pass through thy land. I will go along by the highway, I will turn neither to the right hand nor to the left.
28 Alimenta pretio vende nobis, ut vescamur: aquam pecunia tribue, et sic bibemus. Tantum est ut nobis concedas transitum,
Thou shall sell me food for money, that I may eat, and give me water for money, that I may drink. Only let me pass through on my feet,
29 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.
as the sons of Esau who dwell in Seir, and the Moabites who dwell in Ar, did to me, until I shall pass over the Jordan into the land which Jehovah our God gives us.
30 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.
But Sihon king of Heshbon would not let us pass by him, for Jehovah thy God hardened his spirit, and made his heart obstinate, that he might deliver him into thy hand, as at this day.
31 Dixitque Dominus ad me: Ecce coepi tibi tradere Sehon, et terram eius, incipe possidere eam.
And Jehovah said to me, Behold, I have begun to deliver up Sihon and his land before thee. Begin to possess, that thou may inherit his land.
32 Egressusque est Sehon obviam nobis cum omni populo suo ad praelium in Iasa.
Then Sihon came out against us, he and all his people, to battle at Jahaz.
33 Et tradidit eum Dominus Deus noster nobis: percussimusque eum cum filiis suis et omni populo suo.
And Jehovah our God delivered him up before us. And we smote him, and his sons, and all his people.
34 Cunctasque urbes in tempore illo cepimus, interfectis habitatoribus earum, viris ac mulieribus et parvulis. non reliquimus in eis quidquam.
And we took all his cities at that time, and utterly destroyed every inhabited city, with the women and the little ones; we left none remaining.
35 Absque iumentis, quae in partem venere praedantium: et spoliis urbium, quas cepimus
We only took the cattle for a prey to ourselves, with the spoil of the cities which we had taken.
36 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.
From Aroer, which is on the edge of the valley of the Arnon, and from the city that is in the valley, even to Gilead, there was not a city too high for us. Jehovah our God delivered up all before us.
37 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.
Only to the land of the sons of Ammon thou did not come near, all the side of the river Jabbok, and the cities of the hill-country, and wherever Jehovah our God forbad us.
