申命记 2
1 “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。
Then we turned, and took our journey into the wilderness by the way to the Red Sea, as Jehovah spoke to me; and we encircled Mount Seir many days.
2 耶和华对我说：
Jehovah spoke to me, saying,
3 ‘你们绕行这山的日子够了，要转向北去。
"You have encircled this mountain long enough. Turn northward.
4 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。
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 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。
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 你们要用钱向他们买粮吃，也要用钱向他们买水喝。
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 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。’
For Jehovah your God has blessed you in all the work of your hand; he has known your walking through this great wilderness: these forty years Jehovah your God has been with you; you have lacked nothing.
8 “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。
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 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。’
Jehovah 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 先前，有以米人住在那里，民数众多，身体高大，像亚衲人一样。
(The Emim lived there before, a people great, and many, and tall, as the Anakim:
11 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。
these also are accounted Rephaim, as the Anakim; but the Moabites call them Emim.
12 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。
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 Jehovah gave to them.)
13 现在，起来过撒烈溪！于是我们过了撒烈溪。
"Now rise up, and cross over the Wadi Zered." So we went over the Wadi Zered.
14 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。
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 Jehovah swore to them.
15 耶和华的手也攻击他们，将他们从营中除灭，直到灭尽。
Moreover the hand of God was against them, to destroy them from the midst of the camp, until they were consumed.
16 “兵丁从民中都灭尽死亡以后，
So it happened, when all the men of war were consumed and dead from among the people,
17 耶和华吩咐我说：
that Jehovah spoke to me, saying,
18 ‘你今天要从摩押的境界亚珥经过，
"You are this day to pass over Ar, the border of Moab:
19 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。’
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 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。
(That also is accounted a land of Rephaim: Rephaim lived in it before; but the Ammonites call them Zamzummim,
21 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。
a people great, and many, and tall, as the Anakim; but Jehovah destroyed them before them; and they succeeded them, and lived in their place;
22 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。
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 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。
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 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。
"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 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。”
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 “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：
I sent messengers out of the wilderness of Kedemoth to Sihon king of Heshbon with words of peace, saying,
27 ‘求你容我从你的地经过，只走大道，不偏左右。
"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 你可以卖粮给我吃，也可以卖水给我喝，只要容我步行过去，
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 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。’
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 Jehovah our God gives us."
30 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。
But Sihon king of Heshbon would not let us pass by him; for Jehovah your God hardened his spirit, and made his heart obstinate, that he might deliver him into your hand, as at this day.
31 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。’
Jehovah 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 那时，西宏和他的众民出来攻击我们，在雅杂与我们交战。
Then Sihon came out against us, he and all his people, to battle at Jahaz.
33 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。
Jehovah our God delivered him up before us; and we struck him, and his sons, and all his people.
34 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。
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 惟有牲畜和所夺的各城，并其中的财物，都取为自己的掠物。
only the livestock we took for a prey to ourselves, with the spoil of the cities which we had taken.
36 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。
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; Jehovah our God delivered up all before us:
37 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。”
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 Jehovah our God forbade us.
