民數記 21
1 住南地的迦南人亞拉得王，聽說以色列人從亞他林路來，就和以色列人爭戰，擄了他們幾個人。
When King Arad the Canaanite, which dwelt toward the South, heard tel that Israel came by the way of the spies, then fought hee against Israel, and tooke of them prysoners.
2 以色列人向耶和華發願說：「你若將這民交付我手，我就把他們的城邑盡行毀滅。」
So Israel vowed a vowe vnto the Lord, and said, If thou wilt deliuer and giue this people into mine hand, then I wil vtterly destroy their cities.
3 耶和華應允了以色列人，把迦南人交付他們，他們就把迦南人和迦南人的城邑盡行毀滅。那地方的名便叫何珥瑪。
And the Lord heard the voyce of Israel, and deliuered them the Canaanites: and they vtterly destroied them and their cities, and called ye name of the place Hormah.
4 他們從何珥山起行，往紅海那條路走，要繞過以東地。百姓因這路難行，心中甚是煩躁，
After, they departed from the mount Hor by the way of the red Sea, to compasse the land of Edom: and the people were sore grieued because of the way.
5 就怨讟上帝和摩西說：「你們為甚麼把我們從埃及領出來、使我們死在曠野呢？這裏沒有糧，沒有水，我們的心厭惡這淡薄的食物。」
And the people spake against God and against Moses, saying, Wherefore haue ye brought vs out of Egypt, to die in the wildernesse? for here is neither bread nor water, and our soule lotheth this light bread.
6 於是耶和華使火蛇進入百姓中間，蛇就咬他們。以色列人中死了許多。
Wherefore the Lord sent fierie serpents among ye people, which stung the people: so that many of the people of Israel died.
7 百姓到摩西那裏，說：「我們怨讟耶和華和你，有罪了。求你禱告耶和華，叫這些蛇離開我們。」於是摩西為百姓禱告。
Therefore the people came to Moses and said, We haue sinned: for wee haue spoken against the Lord, and against thee: pray to the Lord, that he take away the serpents from vs: and Moses prayed for the people.
8 耶和華對摩西說：「你製造一條火蛇，掛在杆子上；凡被咬的，一望這蛇，就必得活。」
And the Lord said vnto Moses, Make thee a fiery serpent, and set it vp for a signe, that as many as are bitten, may looke vpon it, and liue.
9 摩西便製造一條銅蛇，掛在杆子上；凡被蛇咬的，一望這銅蛇就活了。
So Moses made a serpent of brasse, and set it vp for a signe: and when a serpent had bitten a man, then he looked to the serpent of brasse, and liued.
10 以色列人起行，安營在阿伯。
And ye children of Israel departed thence, and pitched in Oboth.
11 又從阿伯起行，安營在以耶‧亞巴琳，與摩押相對的曠野，向日出之地。
And they departed from Oboth, and pitched in lie-abarim, in the wildernesse, which is before Moab on the Eastside.
12 從那裏起行，安營在撒烈谷。
They remoued thence, and pitched vpon the riuer of Zared.
13 從那裏起行，安營在亞嫩河那邊。這亞嫩河是在曠野，從亞摩利的境界流出來的；原來亞嫩河是摩押的邊界，在摩押和亞摩利人搭界的地方。
Thence they departed, and pitched on the other side of Arnon, which is in the wildernesse, and commeth out of the coasts of the Amorites: (for Arnon is the border of Moab, betweene the Moabites and the Amorites)
14 所以耶和華的戰記上說：「蘇法的哇哈伯與亞嫩河的谷，
Wherefore it shall be spoken in the booke of the battels of the Lord, what thing he did in the red sea, and in the riuers of Arnon,
15 並向亞珥城眾谷的下坡，是靠近摩押的境界。」
And at the streame of the riuers that goeth downe to the dwelling of Ar, and lieth vpon the border of Moab.
16 以色列人從那裏起行，到了比珥。從前耶和華吩咐摩西說：「招聚百姓，我好給他們水喝」，說的就是這井。
And from thence they turned to Beer: the same is the well where the Lord said vnto Moses, Assemble the people, and I wil giue them water.
17 當時，以色列人唱歌說： 井啊，湧上水來！ 你們要向這井歌唱。
Then Israel sang this song, Rise vp well, sing ye vnto it.
18 這井是首領和民中的尊貴人 用圭用杖所挖所掘的。 以色列人從曠野往瑪他拿去，
The princes digged this well, the captaines of the people digged it, euen the lawe giuer, with their staues. And from the wildernesse they came to Mattanah,
19 從瑪他拿到拿哈列，從拿哈列到巴末，
And from Mattanah to Nahaliel, and from Nahaliel to Bamoth,
20 從巴末到摩押地的谷，又到那下望曠野之毗斯迦的山頂。
And from Bamoth in the valley, that is in the plaine of Moab, to the top of Pisgah that looketh toward Ieshimon.
21 以色列人差遣使者去見亞摩利人的王西宏，說：
Then Israel sent messengers vnto Sihon, King of the Amorites, saying,
22 「求你容我們從你的地經過；我們不偏入田間和葡萄園，也不喝井裏的水，只走大道，直到過了你的境界。」
Let me goe through thy land: we wil not turne aside into the fieldes, nor into the vineyardes, neither drinke of the waters of ye welles: we will goe by the kings way, vntill we be past thy countrey.
23 西宏不容以色列人從他的境界經過，就招聚他的眾民出到曠野，要攻擊以色列人，到了雅雜與以色列人爭戰。
But Sihon gaue Israel no licence to passe through his countrey, but Sihon assembled all his people, and went out against Israel into the wildernesse: and he came to Iahoz, and fought against Israel.
24 以色列人用刀殺了他，得了他的地，從亞嫩河到雅博河，直到亞捫人的境界，因為亞捫人的境界多有堅壘。
But Israel smote him with the edge of the sword, and conquered his land, from Arnon vnto Iabok, euen vnto ye children of Ammon: for the border of the children of Ammon was strong.
25 以色列人奪取這一切的城邑，也住亞摩利人的城邑，就是希實本與希實本的一切鄉村。
And Israel tooke al these cities, and dwelt in all the cities of the Amorites in Heshbon and in all the villages thereof.
26 這希實本是亞摩利王西宏的京城；西宏曾與摩押的先王爭戰，從他手中奪取了全地，直到亞嫩河。
For Heshbon was the citie of Sihon the king of the Amorites, which had fought beforetime against the king of the Moabites, and had taken al his land out of his hand, euen vnto Arnon.
27 所以那些作詩歌的說： 你們來到希實本； 願西宏的城被修造，被建立。
Wherefore they that speake in prouerbes, say, Come to Heshbon, let the citie of Sihon bee built and repaired:
28 因為有火從希實本發出， 有火焰出於西宏的城， 燒盡摩押的亞珥和亞嫩河邱壇的祭司。
For a fire is gone out of Heshbon, and a flame from the citie of Sihon, and hath consumed Ar of the Moabites, and the lords of Bamoth in Arnon.
29 摩押啊，你有禍了！ 基抹的民哪，你們滅亡了！ 基抹的男子逃奔， 女子被擄，交付亞摩利的王西宏。
Wo be to thee, Moab: O people of Chemosh, thou art vndone: he hath suffered his sonnes to be pursued, and his daughters to be in captiuitie to Sihon the king of the Amorites.
30 我們射了他們； 希實本直到底本盡皆毀滅。 我們使地變成荒場，直到挪法； 這挪法直延到米底巴。
Their empire also is lost from Heshbon vnto Dibon, and wee haue destroyed them vnto Nophah, which reacheth vnto Medeba.
31 這樣，以色列人就住在亞摩利人之地。
Thus Israel dwelt in the lande of the Amorites.
32 摩西打發人去窺探雅謝，以色列人就佔了雅謝的鎮市，趕出那裏的亞摩利人。
And Moses sent to searche out Iaazer, and they tooke the townes belonging thereto, and rooted out the Amorites that were there.
33 以色列人轉回，向巴珊去。巴珊王噩和他的眾民都出來，在以得來與他們交戰。
And they turned and went vp toward Bashan: and Og the King of Bashan came out against them, hee, and all his people, to fight at Edrei.
34 耶和華對摩西說：「不要怕他！因我已將他和他的眾民，並他的地，都交在你手中；你要待他像從前待住希實本的亞摩利王西宏一般。」
Then the Lord said vnto Moses, Feare him not: for I haue deliuered him into thine hand and all his people, and his land: and thou shalt do to him as thou diddest vnto Sihon the king of the Amorites, which dwelt at Heshbon.
35 於是他們殺了他和他的眾子，並他的眾民，沒有留下一個，就得了他的地。
They smote him therefore, and his sonnes, and all his people, vntill there was none left him: so they conquered his land.
