Deuteronomy 2

1 Then we turned back and headed for the wilderness by way of the Red Sea, as the LORD had instructed me, and for many days we wandered around Mount Seir.

1 “之后，我们遵照耶和华的吩咐掉转头，沿红海的路前往旷野，在西珥山区绕行了很久。

2 At this time the LORD said to me,

2 后来，耶和华对我说，

3 “You have been wandering around this hill country long enough; turn to the north

3 ‘你们在这山区绕行的日子够了，现在转向北方吧。

4 and command the people: ‘You will pass through the territory of your brothers, the descendants of Esau, who live in Seir. They will be afraid of you, so you must be very careful.

4 你要吩咐民众：你们将经过西珥，那里住着你们的亲属以扫的子孙。他们惧怕你们，所以你们要格外谨慎，

5 Do not provoke them, for I will not give you any of their land, not even a footprint, because I have given Mount Seir to Esau as his possession.

5 不可挑起战争，因为我已把西珥山赐给以扫作产业，他们的土地，我一寸也不会赐给你们。

6 You are to pay them in silver for the food you eat and the water you drink.’”

6 你们吃的、喝的，都要花钱向他们买。

7 Indeed, the LORD your God has blessed you in all the work of your hands. He has watched over your journey through this vast wilderness. The LORD your God has been with you these forty years, and you have lacked nothing.

7 你们的上帝耶和华使你们凡事蒙福，看顾着你们走过这辽阔的旷野，四十年来与你们同在，使你们一无所缺。’

8 So we passed by our brothers, the descendants of Esau, who live in Seir. We turned away from the Arabah road, which comes up from Elath and Ezion-geber, and traveled along the road of the Wilderness of Moab.

8 “于是，我们绕过我们亲属以扫的子孙所住的西珥，沿亚拉巴的路，经过以拉他、以旬·迦别，向摩押旷野走去。

9 Then the LORD said to me, “Do not harass the Moabites or provoke them to war, for I will not give you any of their land, because I have given Ar to the descendants of Lot as their possession.”

9 耶和华对我说，‘不可骚扰摩押人，不可挑起战争，因为我不会把他们的土地赐给你，我已把亚珥赐给罗得的子孙为业。’

10 (The Emites used to live there, a people great and many, as tall as the Anakites.

10 “从前以米人住在亚珥，他们人数众多，像亚衲人一样身材高大。

11 Like the Anakites, they were also regarded as Rephaim, though the Moabites called them Emites.

11 以米人同亚衲人一样也被称为利乏音人，但摩押人称他们为以米人。

12 The Horites used to live in Seir, but the descendants of Esau drove them out. They destroyed the Horites from before them and settled in their place, just as Israel did in the land that the LORD gave them as their possession.)

12 以前，何利人也住在西珥，但以扫的子孙消灭了他们，占领了他们的土地，住在那里，正如后来以色列人占领了耶和华赐给他们的土地。

13 “Now arise and cross over the Brook of Zered.” So we crossed over the Brook of Zered.

13 耶和华又说，‘现在，你们要动身过撒烈溪。’于是，我们过了撒烈溪。

14 The time we spent traveling from Kadesh-barnea until we crossed over the Brook of Zered was thirty-eight years, until that entire generation of fighting men had perished from the camp, as the LORD had sworn to them.

14 我们从离开加低斯·巴尼亚到穿过撒烈溪，用了三十八年。期间，那一代战士都死光了，正如耶和华的誓言。

15 Indeed, the LORD’s hand was against them, to eliminate them from the camp, until they had all perished.

15 其实是耶和华的手攻击他们，直到把他们从营中全部消灭。

16 Now when all the fighting men among the people had died,

16 “民中所有的战士都死后，

17 the LORD said to me,

17 耶和华对我说，

18 “Today you are going to cross the border of Moab at Ar.

18 ‘今天你要经过摩押边境亚珥。

19 But when you get close to the Ammonites, do not harass them or provoke them, for I will not give you any of the land of the Ammonites. I have given it to the descendants of Lot as their possession.”

19 到亚扪人之地后，不可骚扰他们，不可挑起战争，因为我不会把他们的土地赐给你们，我已把那里赐给罗得的子孙作产业。’

20 (That too was regarded as the land of the Rephaim, who used to live there, though the Ammonites called them Zamzummites.

20 那里以前也是利乏音人住的地方，亚扪人称利乏音人为散送冥，

21 They were a people great and many, as tall as the Anakites. But the LORD destroyed them from before the Ammonites, who drove them out and settled in their place,

21 利乏音族人数众多，像亚衲人一样身材高大。耶和华在亚扪人面前消灭了他们，让亚扪人占领他们的土地，住在那里。

22 just as He had done for the descendants of Esau who lived in Seir, when He destroyed the Horites from before them. They drove them out and have lived in their place to this day.

22 耶和华也曾为以扫的子孙消灭住在西珥的何利人，让他们占据何利人的土地，住在那里，直到今日。

23 And the Avvim, who lived in villages as far as Gaza, were destroyed by the Caphtorites, who came out of Caphtor and settled in their place.)

23 同样，来自克里特的迦斐托人消灭了迦萨附近乡村的亚卫人，住在那里。

24 “Arise, set out, and cross the Arnon Valley. See, I have delivered into your hand Sihon the Amorite, king of Heshbon, and his land. Begin to take possession of it and engage him in battle.

24 耶和华说，‘起来穿过亚嫩谷。看啊，我已将亚摩利人希实本王西宏和他的土地交在你手中，你要攻打他，占领他的土地。

25 This very day I will begin to put the dread and fear of you upon all the nations under heaven. They will hear the reports of you and tremble in anguish because of you.”

25 从今天起，我要使天下万民在你面前惊恐万状，一听到你的名字就吓得发抖。’

26 So from the Wilderness of Kedemoth I sent messengers with an offer of peace to Sihon king of Heshbon, saying,

26 “于是，我从基底莫旷野派使者去见希实本王西宏，提出和平的建议，说，

27 “Let us pass through your land; we will stay on the main road. We will not turn to the right or to the left.

27 ‘请允许我们从贵国经过，我们只走大路，不会偏离。

28 You can sell us food to eat and water to drink in exchange for silver. Only let us pass through on foot,

28 我们吃的喝的，都会花钱向你买，只求让我们步行经过，

29 just as the descendants of Esau who live in Seir and the Moabites who live in Ar did for us, until we cross the Jordan into the land that the LORD our God is giving us.”

29 就像西珥的以东人和亚珥的摩押人那样对待我们，直到我们越过约旦河，进入我们的上帝耶和华所赐之地。’

30 But Sihon king of Heshbon would not let us pass through, for the LORD your God had made his spirit stubborn and his heart obstinate, that He might deliver him into your hand, as is the case this day.

30 希实本王西宏却拒绝我们的请求，因为我们的上帝耶和华使他心灵刚硬、顽固不化，好让我们击败他，正如今日的情形。

31 Then the LORD said to me, “See, I have begun to deliver Sihon and his land over to you. Now begin to conquer and possess his land.”

31 耶和华对我说，‘看啊，我已把西宏和他的土地交给你了，去占领他的土地吧。’

32 So Sihon and his whole army came out for battle against us at Jahaz.

32 西宏率领全军在雅杂与我们交战。

33 And the LORD our God delivered him over to us, and we defeated him and his sons and his whole army.

33 我们的上帝耶和华使西宏父子及其军队败在我们手下，全军覆没。

34 At that time we captured all his cities and devoted to destruction the people of every city, including women and children. We left no survivors.

34 我们攻占了西宏的所有城邑，将其夷为平地，杀光城中的男女老幼，一个不留，

35 We carried off for ourselves only the livestock and the plunder from the cities we captured.

35 只留下牲畜和财物作战利品。

36 From Aroer on the rim of the Arnon Valley, along with the city in the valley, even as far as Gilead, not one city had walls too high for us. The LORD our God gave us all of them.

36 从亚嫩谷边的亚罗珥和谷中的城，直到基列的所有城邑全被我们攻克，我们的上帝耶和华把这一切都交给了我们。

37 But you did not go near the land of the Ammonites, or the land along the banks of the Jabbok River, or the cities of the hill country, or any place that the LORD our God had forbidden.

37 我们遵照我们的上帝耶和华的吩咐，没有进犯亚扪人的土地，即雅博河一带和山区的城邑。
