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 the LORD spoke to me; and we encircled Mount Seir many days.
2 Dixitque Dominus ad me:
The LORD spoke to me, saying,
3 Sufficit vobis circuire montem istum: ite contra Aquilonem:
"You have encircled 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.
Command the people, saying, 'You are to pass through the border of your brothers the descendants of Esau, who dwell in Seir; and they will be afraid of you: take 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.
You shall purchase food of them for money, that you may eat; and you shall also buy water of them for money, that you 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 the LORD your God has blessed you in all the work of your hand; he has known your walking through this great wilderness: these forty years the LORD your God has been with you; you 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 descendants of Esau, who dwell in Seir, from the way of the Arabah from Eilat and from Ezion Geber. 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.
The LORD said to me, "Do not bother Moab, neither contend with them in battle; for I will not give you of his land for a possession; because I have given Ar to the descendants of Lot for a possession."
10 Emim primi fuerunt habitatores eius, populus magnus, et validus, et tam excelsus ut de Enacim stirpe,
(The Emim lived there before, 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 lived in Seir before, but the descendants of Esau succeeded them; and they destroyed them from before them, and lived in their place; as Israel did to the land of his possession, which the LORD gave to them.)
13 Surgentes ergo ut transiremus Torrentem Zared, venimus ad eum.
"Now rise up, and cross over the Wadi Zered." So we went over the Wadi 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:
The days in which we came from Kadesh Barnea, until we had come over the Wadi Zered, were thirty-eight years; until all the generation of the men of war were consumed from the midst of the camp, as the LORD swore to them.
15 cuius manus fuit adversum eos, ut interirent de castrorum medio.
Moreover the hand of God was against them, to destroy them from the midst of the camp, until they were consumed.
16 Postquam autem universi ceciderunt pugnatores,
So it happened, when all the men of war were consumed and dead from among the people,
17 locutus est Dominus ad me, dicens:
that the LORD spoke to me, saying,
18 Tu transibis hodie terminos Moab, urbem nomine Ar:
"You 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 you come near over against the people of Ammon, do not bother them, nor contend with them; for I will not give you of the land of the people of Ammon for a possession; because I have given it to the people 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 lived in it before; 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 the LORD destroyed them before them; and they succeeded them, and lived in their place;
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 descendants of Esau, who dwell in Seir, when he destroyed the Horites from before them; and they succeeded them, and lived in their place 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 lived in villages as far as Gaza, the Caphtorim, who came forth out of Caphtor, destroyed them, and lived in their place.)
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 up, take your journey, and pass over the Valley of the Arnon: look, I have given into your 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 will I begin to put the dread of you and the fear of you on the peoples who are under the whole sky, who shall hear the report of you, and shall tremble, and be in anguish because of you."
26 Misi ergo nuncios de solitudine Cademoth ad Sehon regem Hesebon verbis pacificis, dicens:
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 your 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,
You 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 people 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 the LORD 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 the LORD your God hardened his spirit, and made his heart obstinate, that he might deliver him into your hand, as at this day.
31 Dixitque Dominus ad me: Ecce coepi tibi tradere Sehon, et terram eius, incipe possidere eam.
The LORD said to me, "Look, I have begun to deliver up Sihon and his land before you: begin to possess, that you 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.
The LORD our God delivered him up before us; and we struck 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.
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
only the livestock we took 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 the city that is in the valley, even to Gilead, there was not a city too high for us; the LORD 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 people of Ammon you did not come near; all the side of the river Jabbok, and the cities of the hill country, and wherever the LORD our God forbade us.
