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.

¹Akhirnya kita kembali ke padang gurun lewat jalan yang menuju ke Teluk Akaba, seperti yang diperintahkan TUHAN. Lama kita mengembara di daerah pegunungan Edom.

²Yahweh spoke to me, saying,

²Lalu TUHAN berkata kepada saya

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

³bahwa sudah cukup lama kita mengembara di daerah itu. Jadi kita harus pergi ke utara.

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;

⁴Kemudian TUHAN menyuruh saya memberi petunjuk-petunjuk ini kepadamu, 'Tidak lama lagi kamu akan memasuki negeri Edom, daerah saudara-saudaramu, keturunan Esau. Mereka akan takut kepadamu,

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.

⁵tetapi kamu tak boleh menyerang mereka, sebab dari tanah mereka sedikit pun tak akan Kuberikan kepadamu, karena daerah Edom sudah Kuberikan kepada keturunan Esau.

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.’”

⁶Kamu boleh membeli makanan dan minuman dari mereka.'

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.

⁷Ingatlah bagaimana TUHAN Allahmu telah memberkati kamu dalam segala yang kamu lakukan. Ia memelihara kamu selama kamu mengembara di padang gurun yang luas ini. Ia melindungi kamu selama empat puluh tahun ini dan memberi segala yang kamu perlukan.

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.

⁸Kemudian kita berjalan terus, meninggalkan jalan yang melalui kota-kota Elat dan Ezion-Geber menuju ke Laut Mati, lalu belok ke timur laut menuju Gurun Moab.

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.”

⁹TUHAN berkata kepada saya, 'Orang Moab, keturunan Lot, tak boleh kamu ganggu. Jangan juga menyerang mereka. Negeri Ar telah Kuberikan kepada mereka dan dari tanah mereka sedikit pun tak akan Kuberikan kepadamu.'"

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

¹⁰(Dahulu Ar didiami oleh orang Emim. Mereka besar perawakannya, sama dengan orang Enak, juga bangsa raksasa.

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

¹¹Seperti orang Enak, mereka juga disebut orang Refaim, akan tetapi orang Moab menamakan mereka orang Emim.

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.)

¹²Dahulu orang Hori tinggal di Edom, tetapi diusir dan dimusnahkan oleh keturunan Esau, yang kemudian menduduki tanah mereka; begitu juga bangsa Israel di kemudian hari mengusir musuh-musuhnya dari tanah yang diberikan TUHAN kepada mereka.)

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

¹³"Kemudian kita menyeberangi Sungai Zered seperti yang diperintahkan TUHAN kepada kita.

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.

¹⁴Itu terjadi tiga puluh delapan tahun sesudah kita meninggalkan Kades-Barnea. Semua prajurit dari angkatan itu sudah mati seperti yang dikatakan TUHAN.

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

¹⁵TUHAN terus-menerus melawan mereka sampai akhirnya mereka semua binasa.

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

¹⁶Sesudah mereka semua mati,

¹⁷that Yahweh spoke to me, saying,

¹⁷TUHAN berkata kepada kita,

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

¹⁸'Hari ini kamu melalui daerah Moab, lewat negeri Ar.

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.”

¹⁹Maka kamu sampai ke dekat tanah orang Amon, keturunan Lot. Janganlah mengganggu atau menyerang mereka, sebab dari tanah yang sudah Kuberikan kepada mereka, sedikit pun tak ada yang akan Kuberikan kepadamu.'"

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

²⁰(Daerah itu juga terkenal sebagai negeri Refaim, nama bangsa yang dahulu tinggal di situ; oleh orang Amon mereka dinamakan orang Zamzumim.

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;

²¹Seperti orang Enak, mereka juga besar perawakannya. Mereka sangat kuat, dan jumlahnya banyak. Tetapi TUHAN membinasakan mereka, sehingga orang Amon merebut tanah itu, lalu berdiam di situ.

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:

²²Begitu juga dilakukan TUHAN untuk orang Edom, keturunan Esau, yang mendiami daerah pegunungan Edom. TUHAN membinasakan orang Hori, sehingga orang Edom merebut tanah itu dan mendudukinya, lalu menetap di situ sampai sekarang.

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.)

²³Tanah di sepanjang pantai Laut Tengah diduduki orang-orang dari pulau Kreta. Mereka telah membinasakan orang Awi, penduduk asli tanah itu, lalu menduduki daerah itu sampai ke selatan sejauh kota Gaza.)

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.

²⁴"Sesudah kita melewati daerah Moab, TUHAN berkata kepada kita, 'Pergilah sekarang menyeberangi Sungai Arnon. Aku akan menyerahkan kepadamu Sihon, raja Amori yang memerintah di Hesybon, bersama-sama dengan negerinya. Seranglah dia, lalu dudukilah tanahnya.

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.”

²⁵Mulai hari ini Aku akan membuat kamu ditakuti bangsa-bangsa di mana saja. Setiap orang akan gemetar ketakutan bila mendengar tentang kamu.'"

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

²⁶"Kemudian saya mengirim beberapa utusan dari padang gurun Kedemot kepada Raja Sihon dari Hesybon untuk menyampaikan usul perdamaian ini:

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.

²⁷'Izinkan kami melalui negeri Tuanku. Kami akan berjalan terus dan tidak menyimpang dari jalan raya.

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,

²⁸Kami akan membayar makanan yang kami makan dan air yang kami minum. Kami hanya perlu melalui negeri ini,

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.”

²⁹sampai kami menyeberangi Sungai Yordan untuk masuk ke negeri yang diberikan TUHAN Allah kami kepada kami. Keturunan Esau yang tinggal di Edom dan orang Moab yang tinggal di Ar juga sudah mengizinkan kami melalui daerah mereka.'

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.

³⁰Tetapi Raja Sihon tidak mengizinkan kita melalui negerinya itu. TUHAN Allahmu membuat dia keras kepala dan nekat supaya kita dapat mengalahkan dia. Daerahnya masih kita duduki sampai sekarang.

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.”

³¹Kemudian TUHAN berkata kepada saya, 'Raja Sihon dan negerinya Kuserahkan kepadamu; ambillah dan dudukilah negeri itu.'

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

³²Maka datanglah Sihon dengan seluruh pasukannya untuk memerangi kita dekat kota Yahas.

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

³³Tetapi TUHAN Allah kita menyerahkan dia kepada kita, lalu kita mengalahkan dia beserta anak-anaknya dan seluruh tentaranya.

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:

³⁴Pada waktu itu juga kita rebut dan hancurkan setiap kota, dan bunuh seluruh penduduknya, laki-laki, perempuan, dan anak-anak. Tak ada yang dibiarkan hidup.

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

³⁵Ternak mereka kita ambil dan kota-kotanya kita rampasi.

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:

³⁶Dengan pertolongan TUHAN Allah kita, kita dapat merebut semua kota itu, mulai dari Aroer, di ujung Lembah Arnon, dan kota di tengah lembah itu, sampai ke daerah Gilead. Tak ada kota yang temboknya terlalu kuat bagi kita.

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.

³⁷Tetapi kita tidak mendekati daerah orang Amon atau tepi Sungai Yabok atau kota-kota di daerah pegunungan atau tempat lain mana pun yang dilarang TUHAN Allah kita."
