Numbers 21
1 And Arad the Chananitish king who lived by the wilderness, heard that Israel came by the way of Atharin; and he made war on Israel, and carried off some of them captives.
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。
2 And Israel vowed a vow to the Lord, and said, If you will deliver this people into my power, I will devote it and its cities [to you].
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。」
3 And the Lord listened to the voice of Israel, and delivered the Chananite into his power; and [Israel] devoted him and his cities, and they called the name of that place Anathema.
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。
4 And having departed from mount Or by the way [leading] to the Red Sea, they compassed the land of Edom, and the people lost courage by the way.
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，
5 And the people spoke against God and against Moses, saying, Why is this? Hast you brought us ought of Egypt to kill us in the wilderness? for there is not bread nor water; and our soul loathes this light bread.
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。」
6 And the Lord sent amongst the people deadly serpents, and they bit the people, and much people of the children of Israel died.
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。
7 And the people came to Moses and said, We have sinned, for we have spoken against the Lord, and against you: pray therefore to the Lord, and let him take away the serpent from us.
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。
8 And Moses prayed to the Lord for the people; and the Lord said to Moses, Make you a serpent, and put it on a signal-[staff]; and it shall come to pass that whenever a serpent shall bite a man, every one [so] bitten that looks upon it shall live.
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。」
9 And Moses made a serpent of brass, and put it upon a signal-[staff]: and it came to pass that whenever a serpent bit a man, and he looked on the brazen serpent, he lived.
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。
10 And the children of Israel departed, and encamped in Oboth.
以色列人起行，安營在阿伯。
11 And having departed from Oboth, they encamped in Achalgai, on the farther side in the wilderness, which is opposite Moab, towards the east.
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。
12 And thence they departed, and encamped in the valley of Zared.
從那裏起行，安營在撒烈谷。
13 And they departed thence and encamped on the other side of Arnon in the wilderness, [the country] which extends from the coasts of the Amorites; for Arnon is the borders of Moab, between Moab and the Amorites.
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。
14 Therefore it is said in a book, A war of the Lord has set on fire Zoob, and the brooks of Arnon.
所以耶和華的戰記上說：「蘇法的哇哈伯與亞嫩河的谷，
15 And he has appointed brooks to cause Er to dwell [there]; and it lies near to the coasts of Moab.
並向亞珥城眾谷的下坡，是靠近摩押的境界。」
16 And thence [they came to] the well; this [is] the well of which the Lord said to Moses, Gather the people, and I will give them water to drink.
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。
17 Then Israel sang this song at the well, Begin [to sing] of the well;
當時，以色列人唱歌說： 井啊，湧上水來！ 你們要向這井歌唱。
18 the princes digged it, the kings of the nations in their kingdom, in their lordship sank it in the rock: and [they went] from the well to Manthanain,
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，
19 and from Manthanain to Naaliel, and from Naaliel to Bamoth, and from Bamoth to Janen, which is in the plain of Moab [as seen] from the top of the quarried [rock] that looks towards the wilderness.
從瑪他拿到拿哈列，從拿哈列到巴末，
20 And Moses sent ambassadors to Seon king of the Amorites, with peaceful words, saying,
從巴末到摩押地的谷，又到那下望曠野之毗斯迦的山頂。
21 We will pass through your land, we will go by the road; we will not turn aside to the field or to the vineyard.
以色列人差遣使者去見亞摩利人的王西宏，說：
22 We will not drink water out of your well; we will go by the king's highway, until we have past your boundaries.
「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。」
23 And Seon did not allow Israel to pass through his borders, and Seon gathered all his people, and went out to set the battle in array against Israel into the wilderness; and he came to Jassa, and set the battle in array against Israel.
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。
24 And Israel struck him with the slaughter of the sword, and they became possessors of his land, from Arnon to Jaboc, as far as the children of Amman, for Jazer is the borders of the children of Amman.
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。
25 And Israel took all their cities, and Israel lived in all the cities of the Amorites, in Esebon, and in all cities belonging to it.
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。
26 For Esebon is the city of Seon king of the Amorites; and he before fought against the king of Moab, and they took all his land, from Aroer to Arnon.
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。
27 Therefore say they who deal in dark speeches, Come to Esebon, that the city of Seon may be built and prepared.
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。
28 For a fire has gone forth from Esebon, a flame from the city of Seon, and has consumed as far as Moab, and devoured the pillars of Arnon.
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。
29 Woe to you, Moab; you are lost, you people of Chamos: their sons are sold for preservation, and their daughters are captives to Seon king of the Amorites.
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。
30 And their seed shall perish [from] Esebon to Daebon; and their women have yet farther kindled a fire against Moab.
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。
31 And Israel lived in all the cities of the Amorites.
這樣，以色列人就住在亞摩利人之地。
32 And Moses sent to spy out Jazer; and they took it, and its villages, and cast out the Amorite that lived there.
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。
33 And having returned, they went up the road thhebraismat leads to Basan; and Og the king of Basan went forth to meet them, and all his people to war to Edrain.
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。
34 And the Lord said to Moses, Fear him not; for I have delivered him and all his people, and all his land, into your hands; and you shall do to him as you did to Seon king of the Amorites, who lived in Esebon.
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。」
35 And he struck him and his sons, and all his people, until he left none of his to be taken alive; and they inherited his land.
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。
