Deuteronomy 2
1 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.
“此后，我们转回，从红海的路往旷野去，是照耶和华所吩咐我的。我们在西珥山绕行了许多日子。
2 And Jehovah spoke to me, saying,
耶和华对我说：
3 Ye have encompassed this mountain long enough, turn northward.
‘你们绕行这山的日子够了，要转向北去。
4 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.
你吩咐百姓说：你们弟兄以扫的子孙住在西珥，你们要经过他们的境界。他们必惧怕你们，所以你们要分外谨慎。
5 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.
不可与他们争战；他们的地，连脚掌可踏之处，我都不给你们，因我已将西珥山赐给以扫为业。
6 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.
你们要用钱向他们买粮吃，也要用钱向他们买水喝。
7 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.
因为耶和华—你的 神在你手里所办的一切事上已赐福与你。你走这大旷野，他都知道了。这四十年，耶和华—你的 神常与你同在，故此你一无所缺。’
8 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.
“于是，我们离了我们弟兄以扫子孙所住的西珥，从亚拉巴的路，经过以拉他、以旬·迦别，转向摩押旷野的路去。
9 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.
耶和华吩咐我说：‘不可扰害摩押人，也不可与他们争战。他们的地，我不赐给你为业，因我已将亚珥赐给罗得的子孙为业。’
10 (The Emim dwelt in it formerly, a people great, and many, and tall, as the Anakim.
先前，有以米人住在那里，民数众多，身体高大，像亚衲人一样。
11 These also are accounted Rephaim, as the Anakim, but the Moabites call them Emim.
这以米人像亚衲人；也算为利乏音人；摩押人称他们为以米人。
12 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.)
先前，何利人也住在西珥，但以扫的子孙将他们除灭，得了他们的地，接着居住，就如以色列在耶和华赐给他为业之地所行的一样。
13 Now rise up, and get you over the brook Zered. And we went over the brook Zered.
现在，起来过撒烈溪！于是我们过了撒烈溪。
14 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.
自从离开加低斯·巴尼亚，到过了撒烈溪的时候，共有三十八年，等那世代的兵丁都从营中灭尽，正如耶和华向他们所起的誓。
15 Moreover the hand of Jehovah was against them, to destroy them from the midst of the camp, until they were consumed.
耶和华的手也攻击他们，将他们从营中除灭，直到灭尽。
16 So it came to pass, when all the men of war were consumed and dead from among the people,
“兵丁从民中都灭尽死亡以后，
17 that Jehovah spoke to me, saying,
耶和华吩咐我说：
18 Thou are this day to pass over Ar, the border of Moab.
‘你今天要从摩押的境界亚珥经过，
19 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.
走近亚扪人之地，不可扰害他们，也不可与他们争战。亚扪人的地，我不赐给你们为业，因我已将那地赐给罗得的子孙为业。’
20 (That also is accounted a land of Rephaim. Rephaim dwelt in it formerly, but the Ammonites call them Zamzummim,
那地也算为利乏音人之地，先前利乏音人住在那里，亚扪人称他们为散送冥。
21 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,
那民众多，身体高大，像亚衲人一样，但耶和华从亚扪人面前除灭他们，亚扪人就得了他们的地，接着居住。
22 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.
正如耶和华从前为住西珥的以扫子孙将何利人从他们面前除灭、他们得了何利人的地、接着居住一样，直到今日。
23 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.)
从迦斐托出来的迦斐托人将先前住在乡村直到迦萨的亚卫人除灭，接着居住。
24 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.
你们起来前往，过亚嫩谷；我已将亚摩利人希实本王西宏和他的地交在你手中，你要与他争战，得他的地为业。
25 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.
从今日起，我要使天下万民听见你的名声都惊恐惧怕，且因你发颤伤恸。”
26 And I sent messengers out of the wilderness of Kedemoth to Sihon king of Heshbon with words of peace, saying,
“我从基底莫的旷野差遣使者去见希实本王西宏，用和睦的话说：
27 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.
‘求你容我从你的地经过，只走大道，不偏左右。
28 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,
你可以卖粮给我吃，也可以卖水给我喝，只要容我步行过去，
29 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.
就如住西珥的以扫子孙和住亚珥的摩押人待我一样，等我过了约旦河，好进入耶和华—我们 神所赐给我们的地。’
30 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.
但希实本王西宏不容我们从他那里经过；因为耶和华—你的 神使他心中刚硬，性情顽梗，为要将他交在你手中，像今日一样。
31 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.
耶和华对我说：‘从此起首，我要将西宏和他的地交给你；你要得他的地为业。’
32 Then Sihon came out against us, he and all his people, to battle at Jahaz.
那时，西宏和他的众民出来攻击我们，在雅杂与我们交战。
33 And Jehovah our God delivered him up before us. And we smote him, and his sons, and all his people.
耶和华—我们的 神将他交给我们，我们就把他和他的儿子，并他的众民，都击杀了。
34 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.
我们夺了他的一切城邑，将有人烟的各城，连女人带孩子，尽都毁灭，没有留下一个。
35 We only took the cattle for a prey to ourselves, with the spoil of the cities which we had taken.
惟有牲畜和所夺的各城，并其中的财物，都取为自己的掠物。
36 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.
从亚嫩谷边的亚罗珥和谷中的城，直到基列，耶和华—我们的 神都交给我们了，没有一座城高得使我们不能攻取的。
37 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.
惟有亚扪人之地，凡靠近雅博河的地，并山地的城邑，与耶和华—我们 神所禁止我们去的地方，都没有挨近。”
