Deuteronomy 2
1 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.
Profectique inde venimus in solitudinem, quæ ducit ad Mare rubrum, sicut mihi dixerat Dominus: et circuivimus montem Seir longo tempore.
2 And Jehovah spoke to me, saying,
Dixitque Dominus ad me:
3 Ye have gone round this mountain long enough: turn you northward.
Sufficit vobis circuire montem istum: ite contra Aquilonem:
4 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:
et populo præcipe, dicens: Transibitis per terminos fratrum vestrorum filiorum Esau, qui habitant in Seir, et timebunt vos.
5 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.
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.
6 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;
Cibos emetis ab eis pecunia, et comedetis: aquam emptam haurietis, et bibetis.
7 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.
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.
8 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.
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.
9 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.
Dixitque Dominus ad me: Non pugnes contra Moabitas, nec ineas adversus eos prælium: non enim dabo tibi quidquam de terra eorum, quia filiis Loth tradidi Ar in possessionem.
10 (The Emim dwelt therein in times past, a people great, and many, and tall as the Anakim.
Emim primi fuerunt habitatores eius, populus magnus, et validus, et tam excelsus ut de Enacim stirpe,
11 They also are reckoned as giants like the Anakim; but the Moabites call them Emim.
quasi gigantes crederentur, et essent similes filiorum Enacim. Denique Moabitæ appellant eos Emim.
12 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.)
In Seir autem prius habitaverunt Horrhæi: quibus expulsis atque deletis, habitaverunt filii Esau, sicut fecit Israel in terra possessionis suæ, quam dedit illi Dominus.
13 Now rise up, and pass over the torrent Zered. And we passed over the torrent Zered.
Surgentes ergo ut transiremus Torrentem Zared, venimus ad eum.
14 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.
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:
15 Moreover the hand of Jehovah was against them to destroy them from the midst of the camp, until they were consumed.
cuius manus fuit adversum eos, ut interirent de castrorum medio.
16 And it came to pass when all the men of war were consumed, having died off from among the people,
Postquam autem universi ceciderunt pugnatores,
17 that Jehovah spoke to me, saying,
locutus est Dominus ad me, dicens:
18 Thou art to pass this day over the border of Moab, [which is] Ar,
Tu transibis hodie terminos Moab, urbem nomine Ar:
19 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.
et accedens in vicina filiorum Ammon, cave ne pugnes contra eos, nec movearis ad prælium: non enim dabo tibi de terra filiorum Ammon, quia filiis Loth dedi eam in possessionem.
20 (That also is reckoned a land of giants: giants dwelt therein in time past, and the Ammonites call them Zamzummim;
Terra gigantum reputata est: et in ipsa olim habitaverunt gigantes, quos Ammonitæ vocant Zomzommim,
21 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;
populus magnus, et multus, et proceræ longitudinis, sicut Enacim, quos delevit Dominus a facie eorum: et fecit illos habitare pro eis,
22 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.
sicut fecerat filiis Esau, qui habitant in Seir, delens Horrhæos, et terram eorum illis tradens, quam possident usque in præsens.
23 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.)
Hevæos quoque, qui habitabant in Haserim usque Gazan, Cappadoces expulerunt: qui egressi de Cappadocia deleverunt eos, et habitaverunt pro illis.
24 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.
Surgite, et transite torrentem Arnon: ecce tradidi in manu tua Sehon regem Hesebon Amorrhæum, et terram eius incipe possidere, et committe adversus eum prælium.
25 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.
Hodie incipiam mittere terrorem atque formidinem tuam in populos, qui habitant sub omni cælo: ut audito nomine tuo paveant, et in morem parturientium contremiscant, et dolore teneantur.
26 And I sent messengers out of the wilderness of Kedemoth unto Sihon the king of Heshbon with words of peace, saying,
Misi ergo nuncios de solitudine Cademoth ad Sehon regem Hesebon verbis pacificis, dicens:
27 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.
Transibimus per terram tuam, publica gradiemur via: non declinabimus neque ad dexteram, neque ad sinistram.
28 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,
Alimenta pretio vende nobis, ut vescamur: aquam pecunia tribue, et sic bibemus. Tantum est ut nobis concedas transitum,
29 — 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.
sicut fecerunt filii Esau, qui habitant in Seir, et Moabitæ, qui morantur in Ar: donec veniamus ad Iordanem, et transeamus ad Terram, quam Dominus Deus noster daturus est nobis.
30 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.
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.
31 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.
Dixitque Dominus ad me: Ecce cœpi tibi tradere Sehon, et terram eius, incipe possidere eam.
32 And Sihon came out against us for battle, he and all his people, to Jahaz.
Egressusque est Sehon obviam nobis cum omni populo suo ad prælium in Iasa.
33 But Jehovah our God gave him up before us; and we smote him, and his sons, and his whole people.
Et tradidit eum Dominus Deus noster nobis: percussimusque eum cum filiis suis et omni populo suo.
34 And we took all his cities at that time, and utterly destroyed every city, men, and women, and little ones: we let none escape.
Cunctasque urbes in tempore illo cepimus, interfectis habitatoribus earum, viris ac mulieribus et parvulis. non reliquimus in eis quidquam.
35 Only the cattle we took as booty for ourselves, and the spoil of the cities which we took.
Absque iumentis, quæ in partem venere prædantium: et spoliis urbium, quas cepimus
36 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.
ab Aroer, quæ est super ripam torrentis Arnon, oppido quod in valle situm est, usque Galaad. Non fuit vicus et civitas, quæ nostras effugeret manus: omnes tradidit Dominus Deus noster nobis.
37 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.
Absque terra filiorum Ammon, ad quam non accessimus: et cunctis quæ adiacent torrenti Ieboc, et urbibus montanis, universisque locis, a quibus nos prohibuit Dominus Deus noster.
