¹曠野飄流“以後，我們照著耶和華吩咐我的，回轉過來，沿著往紅海的路起程到曠野去；我們在西珥山繞行了很多日子。

¹Then we turned, and took our journey into the wilderness by the way to the Red Sea or, Sea of Reeds , as Yahweh spoke to me; and we encircled Mount Seir many days.

²耶和華對我說：

²Yahweh spoke to me, saying,

³‘你們繞行這山的日子已經夠了；現在要轉向北去。

³“You have encircled this mountain long enough. Turn northward.

⁴你要吩咐人民說：“你們的兄弟以掃的子孫，住在西珥，你們現在要經過他們的境界；他們必懼怕你們，所以你們要十分謹慎。

⁴Command the people, saying, ‘You are to pass through the border of your brothers the children of Esau, who dwell in Seir; and they will be afraid of you: take good heed to yourselves therefore;

⁵不要與他們爭執；他們的地，連腳掌那麼大的一塊，我都不給你們，因為我已經把西珥山賜給以掃作產業。

⁵don’t 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你們要用銀子向他們買食物吃；也要用銀子向他們買水喝。

⁶You 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因為耶和華你的　神，對於你手裡所作的一切事，都已經賜福給你；他也知道你怎樣走這大曠野；這四十年來，耶和華你們的　神常與你同在，使你毫無缺乏。”’

⁷For Yahweh your God has blessed you in all the work of your hand; he has known your walking through this great wilderness: these forty years Yahweh your God has been with you; you have lacked nothing.

⁸“於是我們離開我們住在西珥的兄弟以掃的子孫，繼續前行；沿著亞拉巴的路，到了以拉他和以旬．迦別，然後轉向摩押曠野的路去。

⁸So we passed by from our brothers the children of Esau, who dwell in Seir, from the way of the Arabah from Elath and from Ezion Geber. We turned and passed by the way of the wilderness of Moab.

⁹耶和華對我說：‘你不可敵視摩押人，也不可與他們爭戰；他們的地我不賜給你作產業，因為我已經把亞珥賜給了羅得的子孫作產業。

⁹Yahweh said to me, “Don’t 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 children of Lot for a possession.”

¹⁰（以前有以米人住在那裡，這族人人數眾多，身體高大，像亞衲族人一樣。

¹⁰(The Emim lived therein before, a people great, and many, and tall, as the Anakim:

¹¹這以米人，像亞衲族人一樣，也算為利乏音人；但摩押人稱他們為以米人。

¹¹these also are accounted Rephaim, as the Anakim; but the Moabites call them Emim.

¹²以前何利人也住在西珥，但以掃的子孫佔領了他們的產業，消滅了他們，住在他們那裡，就像以色列在耶和華賜給他們作產業的地上所行的一樣。）

¹²The Horites also lived in Seir before, but the children 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 Yahweh gave to them.)

¹³現在你們要起來，過撒烈溪。’於是我們過了撒烈溪。

¹³“Now rise up, and cross over the brook Zered.” We went over the brook Zered.

¹⁴自從我們離開加低斯．巴尼亞，直到過了撒烈溪的日子，共有三十八年，等到那世代的戰士都從營中滅絕為止，正像耶和華向他們所起的誓一樣。

¹⁴The days in which we came from Kadesh Barnea, until we had come over the brook Zered, were thirty-eight years; until all the generation of the men of war were consumed from the midst of the camp, as Yahweh swore to them.

¹⁵耶和華的手攻擊了他們，把他們從營中除滅，直到滅盡為止。

¹⁵Moreover the hand of Yahweh was against them, to destroy them from the midst of the camp, until they were consumed.

¹⁶“所有戰士都從民中死盡以後，

¹⁶So it happened, when all the men of war were consumed and dead from among the people,

¹⁷耶和華就對我說：

¹⁷that Yahweh spoke to me, saying,

¹⁸‘你今天要經過摩押的境界亞珥；

¹⁸“You are this day to pass over Ar, the border of Moab:

¹⁹你走近亞捫人面前的時候，不可敵視他們，也不可與他們爭執；亞捫人的地我不賜給你們作產業，因為我已經把那地賜給了羅得的子孫作產業。

¹⁹and when you come near over against the children of Ammon, don’t bother them, nor contend with them; for I will not give you of the land of the children of Ammon for a possession; because I have given it to the children of Lot for a possession.”

²⁰（那地也算為利乏音人的地，以前利乏音人住在那裡，但亞捫人稱他們為散送冥。

²⁰(That also is accounted a land of Rephaim: Rephaim lived therein before; but the Ammonites call them Zamzummim,

²¹這族人人數眾多，身體高大，像亞衲族人一樣；但耶和華從亞捫人面前消滅了他們，亞捫人就佔領了他們的地業，住在那裡，

²¹a people great, and many, and tall, as the Anakim; but Yahweh destroyed them before them; and they succeeded them, and lived in their place;

²²好像耶和華從前為住在西珥的以掃的子孫所作的一樣，就是把何利人從他們面前消滅，他們就佔領了他們的地業，住在他們那裡，直到今日。

²²as he did for the children 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還有亞衛人，原先住在迦薩附近的各村莊裡，有從迦斐託出來的迦斐託人把他們消滅了，住在他們那裡。）

²³and 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現在你要起來，出發，過亞嫩谷；看哪，我已經把亞摩利人希實本王西宏和他的土地，交在你的手裡了；你要開始佔領那地作產業，與他爭戰。

²⁴“Rise up, take your journey, and pass over the valley of the Arnon: behold, 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就在今天，我要使天下萬民聽見你的消息都驚慌懼怕，而且因你的緣故發抖疼痛。’

²⁵This 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擊敗希實本王西宏（民21:21~30）“我從基底莫的曠野，派使者到希實本王西宏那裡去，用和平的話說：

²⁶I sent messengers out of the wilderness of Kedemoth to Sihon king of Heshbon with words of peace, saying,

²⁷‘求你讓我從你的地經過；我只走大道，不偏左也不偏右。

²⁷“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你可以按著價錢把食物賣給我吃，也可以按著價錢把水賣給我喝；只要讓我步行過去就是了；

²⁸You 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好像住在西珥的以掃子孫，和住在西珥的摩押人待我一樣，等我過約旦河，進到耶和華我們的　神賜給我們的地去。’

²⁹as 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 Yahweh our God gives us.”

³⁰但是希實本王西宏不肯讓我們從他那裡經過，因為耶和華我們的　神使他的心意頑固，使他的心剛硬，為要把他交在你的手裡，像今日一樣。

³⁰But Sihon king of Heshbon would not let us pass by him; for Yahweh your God hardened his spirit, and made his heart obstinate, that he might deliver him into your hand, as at this day.

³¹耶和華對我說：‘看哪，我已經把西宏和他的地交給你了，你可以佔領他的地作產業。’

³¹Yahweh said to me, “Behold, I have begun to deliver up Sihon and his land before you: begin to possess, that you may inherit his land.”

³²“那時西宏和他所有的人民都出來，攻擊我們，在雅雜與我們作戰。

³²Then Sihon came out against us, he and all his people, to battle at Jahaz.

³³耶和華我們的　神把他交給了我們，我們就把他、他的兒子們和他所有的人民都擊殺了。

³³Yahweh our God delivered him up before us; and we struck him, and his sons, and all his people.

³⁴那時我們奪取了他所有的城邑，把每一座城，連男帶女，以及小孩子都全部毀滅，沒有留下一個存活的；

³⁴We 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只留下我們掠為己有的牲畜，和我們奪取城邑所得的戰利品。

³⁵only the livestock we took for a prey to ourselves, with the spoil of the cities which we had taken.

³⁶從亞嫩谷旁邊的亞羅珥和谷中的城，直到基列，沒有一座城太高，是我們不能攻下的；耶和華我們的　神把這一切都交給我們了。

³⁶From 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; Yahweh our God delivered up all before us:

³⁷只有亞捫人的地，雅博河一帶的地方，和山地的城市，以及耶和華我們的　神吩咐我們不可去的地方，我們都沒有走近。”

³⁷only to the land of the children of Ammon you didn’t come near; all the side of the river Jabbok, and the cities of the hill country, and wherever Yahweh our God forbade us.
