Deuteronomii 2
1 Profectique inde venimus in solitudinem, quæ ducit ad Mare Rubrum, sicut mihi dixerat Dominus: et circuivimus montem Seir longo tempore.
Then we turned, and took our journey into the wilderness by the way of the Red sea, as the LORD spoke to me: and we went around mount Seir many days.
2 Dixitque Dominus ad me:
And the LORD spoke to me, saying,
3 Sufficit vobis circuire montem istum: ite contra Aquilonem:
Ye have gone around this mountain long enough: turn northward.
4 et populo præcipe, dicens: Transibitis per terminos fratrum vestrorum filiorum Esau, qui habitant in Seir, et timebunt vos.
And command thou the people, saying, Ye are to pass through the land of your brethren the children of Esau, who dwell in Seir; and they shall be afraid of you: therefore take ye good heed to yourselves:
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.
Meddle not with them; for I will not give you of their land, no, not so much as a foot breadth; because I have given mount Seir to Esau for a possession.
6 Cibos emetis ab eis pecunia, et comedetis: aquam emptam haurietis, et bibetis.
Ye shall buy food of them for money, that ye may eat; and ye shall also buy water 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 the LORD thy God hath blessed thee in all the works of thy hand: he knoweth thy walking through this great wilderness: these forty years the LORD thy God hath 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 when we passed by from our brethren the children of Esau, who dwelt in Seir, through the way of the plain from Elath, and from Eziongaber, 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 prælium: non enim dabo tibi quidquam de terra eorum, quia filiis Loth tradidi Ar in possessionem.
And the LORD said to me, Distress not the Moabites, neither contend with them in battle: for I will not give thee of their land for a possession; because I have given Ar to the children of Lot for a possession.
10 Emim primi fuerunt habitatores eius, populus magnus, et validus, et tam excelsus ut de Enacim stirpe,
The Emims dwelt in it in times past, a people great, and many, and tall, as the Anakims;
11 quasi gigantes crederentur, et essent similes filiorum Enacim. Denique Moabitæ appellant eos Emim.
Who also were accounted giants, as the Anakims; but the Moabites call them Emims.
12 In Seir autem prius habitaverunt Horrhæi: quibus expulsis atque deletis, habitaverunt filii Esau, sicut fecit Israel in terra possessionis suæ, quam dedit illi Dominus.
The Horims also dwelt in Seir in times past; but the children of Esau succeeded them, when they had destroyed them from before them, and dwelt in their stead; as Israel did to the land of his possession, which the LORD gave to them.
13 Surgentes ergo ut transiremus Torrentem Zared, venimus ad eum.
Now rise, said I, and pass over the brook Zered. And we went over the brook 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:
And the space in which we came from Kadeshbarnea, until we passed the brook Zered, was thirty and eight years; until all the generation of the men of war were consumed from among the host, as the LORD swore to them.
15 cuius manus fuit adversum eos, ut interirent de castrorum medio.
For indeed the hand of the LORD was against them, to destroy them from among the host, until they were consumed.
16 Postquam autem universi ceciderunt pugnatores,
So it came to pass, when all the men of war were consumed and dead from among the people,
17 locutus est Dominus ad me, dicens:
That the LORD spoke to me, saying,
18 Tu transibis hodie terminos Moab, urbem nomine Ar:
Thou art to pass over through Ar, the border of Moab, this day:
19 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.
And when thou comest near the children of Ammon, distress them not, nor meddle with them: for I will not give thee of the land of the children of Ammon any possession; because I have given it to the children of Lot for a possession.
20 Terra gigantum reputata est: et in ipsa olim habitaverunt gigantes, quos Ammonitæ vocant Zomzommim,
(That also was accounted a land of giants: giants dwelt there in times past; and the Ammonites call them Zamzummims;
21 populus magnus, et multus, et proceræ longitudinis, sicut Enacim, quos delevit Dominus a facie eorum: et fecit illos habitare pro eis,
A people great, and many, and tall, as the Anakims; but the LORD destroyed them before them; and they succeeded them, and dwelt in their stead:
22 sicut fecerat filiis Esau, qui habitant in Seir, delens Horrhæos, et terram eorum illis tradens, quam possident usque in præsens.
As he did to the children of Esau, who dwelt in Seir, when he destroyed the Horims from before them; and they succeeded them, and dwelt in their stead even to this day:
23 Hevæos quoque, qui habitabant in Haserim usque Gazan, Cappadoces expulerunt: qui egressi de Cappadocia deleverunt eos, et habitaverunt pro illis.
And the Avims who dwelt in Hazerim, even to Azzah, the Caphtorims, who came forth from Caphtor, destroyed them, and dwelt in their stead.)
24 Surgite, et transite torrentem Arnon: ecce tradidi in manu tua Sehon regem Hesebon Amorrhæum, et terram eius incipe possidere, et committe adversus eum prælium.
Arise ye, take your journey, and pass over the river 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.
25 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.
This day will I begin to put the dread of thee and the fear of thee upon the nations that are under the whole heaven, who shall hear report of thee, and shall tremble, and be in anguish because of thee.
26 Misi ergo nuncios de solitudine Cademoth ad Sehon regem Hesebon verbis pacificis, dicens:
And I sent messengers from the wilderness of Kedemoth to Sihon 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: I will go along by the highway, 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 give me water for money, that I may drink: only I will pass through on my feet;
29 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.
(As the children of Esau who dwell in Seir, and the Moabites who dwell in Ar, did to me; ) until I shall pass over Jordan into the land which the LORD 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 king of Heshbon would not let us pass by him: for the LORD thy God hardened his spirit, and made his heart obstinate, that he might deliver him into thy hand, as appeareth this day.
31 Dixitque Dominus ad me: Ecce cœpi tibi tradere Sehon, et terram eius, incipe possidere eam.
And the LORD said to me, Behold, I have begun to give Sihon and his land before thee: begin to possess, that thou mayest inherit his land.
32 Egressusque est Sehon obviam nobis cum omni populo suo ad prælium in Iasa.
Then Sihon came out against us, he and all his people, to fight at Jahaz.
33 Et tradidit eum Dominus Deus noster nobis: percussimusque eum cum filiis suis et omni populo suo.
And the LORD our God delivered him before us; and we smote him, and his sons, and all his 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 the men, and the women, and the little ones, of every city, we left none to remain:
35 Absque iumentis, quæ in partem venere prædantium: et spoliis urbium, quas cepimus
Only the cattle we took for a prey to ourselves, and the spoil of the cities which we took.
36 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.
From Aroer, which is by the brink of the river of Arnon, and from the city that is by the river, even to Gilead, there was not one city too strong for us: the LORD our God delivered all to us:
37 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.
Only to the land of the children of Ammon thou camest not, nor to any place of the river Jabbok, nor to the cities on the mountains, nor to whatever the LORD our God forbad us.
