Deuteronomii 2
1 Profectique inde venimus in solitudinem, quae ducit ad Mare rubrum, sicut mihi dixerat Dominus: et circuivimus montem Seir longo tempore.
And we turned, and took our journey into the wilderness by the way of the Red sea, as Jehovah had said unto me; and we went round 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 gone round this mountain long enough: turn you northward.
4 et populo praecipe, dicens: Transibitis per terminos fratrum vestrorum filiorum Esau, qui habitant in Seir, et timebunt vos.
And command the people, saying, Ye are to pass through the border of your brethren the children of Esau, who dwell in Seir; and they will be afraid of you; and ye shall be very guarded:
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.
attack them not; for I will not give you of their land, no, not so much as a foot-breadth; for I have given mount Seir as a possession unto Esau.
6 Cibos emetis ab eis pecunia, et comedetis: aquam emptam haurietis, et bibetis.
Ye shall buy of them food for money, that ye may eat; and water shall ye also buy of 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 hath blessed thee in all the work of thy hand. He hath known thy walking through this great wilderness: these forty years hath Jehovah thy God been with thee; thou hast 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.
And we passed by from our brethren the children of Esau, who dwelt in Seir, by the plain, by Elath, and by 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, Distress not the Moabites, neither engage with them in battle; for I will not give thee of their land a possession; for unto the children of Lot have I given Ar as a possession.
10 Emim primi fuerunt habitatores eius, populus magnus, et validus, et tam excelsus ut de Enacim stirpe,
(The Emim dwelt therein in times past, a people great, and many, and tall as the Anakim.
11 quasi gigantes crederentur, et essent similes filiorum Enacim. Denique Moabitae appellant eos Emim.
They also are reckoned as giants like 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.
And in Seir dwelt the Horites in times past; and the children of Esau dispossessed them, and destroyed them from before them, and dwelt in their stead; as Israel did to the land of their possession, which Jehovah gave to them.)
13 Surgentes ergo ut transiremus Torrentem Zared, venimus ad eum.
Now rise up, and pass over the torrent Zered. And we passed over the torrent 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:
Now the days in which we came from Kadesh-barnea, until we had come over the torrent Zered, were thirty-eight years; until the whole generation of the men of war was consumed from the midst of the camp, as Jehovah had sworn unto 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,
And it came to pass when all the men of war were consumed, having died off 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 art to pass this day over the border of Moab, [which is] Ar,
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 come near over against the children of Ammon; thou shalt not distress them nor attack them; for I will not give thee of the land of the children of Ammon a possession; for unto the children of Lot have I given it as a possession.
20 Terra gigantum reputata est: et in ipsa olim habitaverunt gigantes, quos Ammonitae vocant Zomzommim,
(That also is reckoned a land of giants: giants dwelt therein in time past, and 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; and Jehovah destroyed them before them, and they dispossessed 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 to the children of Esau, who dwelt in Seir, from before whom he destroyed the Horites; and they dispossessed 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 Avvites who dwelt in the hamlets as far as Gazah — the Caphtorim, who came 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 up, take your journey, and pass over the river Arnon. Behold, I have given into thy hand Sihon the king of Heshbon, the Amorite, and his land: begin, take possession, and engage 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 thee and the fear of thee upon the peoples under the whole heaven; who will hear report of thee, and will tremble, and quake 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 unto Sihon the 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: by the highway alone will I go; I will neither turn 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 shalt sell me food for money that I may eat; and thou shalt give me water for money that I may drink; I will only 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 children 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 giveth 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 the king of Heshbon would not let us pass by him; for Jehovah thy God hardened his spirit, and made his heart obdurate, that he might give him into thy hand, as it is 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 begin to give Sihon and his land before thee: begin, take possession, that thou mayest possess his land.
32 Egressusque est Sehon obviam nobis cum omni populo suo ad praelium in Iasa.
And Sihon came out against us for battle, he and all his people, to Jahaz.
33 Et tradidit eum Dominus Deus noster nobis: percussimusque eum cum filiis suis et omni populo suo.
But Jehovah our God gave him up before us; and we smote him, and his sons, and his whole 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 city, men, and women, and little ones: we let none escape.
35 Absque iumentis, quae in partem venere praedantium: et spoliis urbium, quas cepimus
Only the cattle we took as booty for ourselves, and the spoil of the cities which we took.
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 bank of the river Arnon, and the city that is in the ravine even to Gilead, there was not one city too strong for us: Jehovah our God delivered 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 thou didst not approach the land of the children of Ammon, the whole border of the river Jabbok, nor the cities of the mountain, nor to whatsoever Jehovah our God had forbidden us.
