Deuteronomy 2

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	NOVA VULGATA
1 “And setting out from there, we arrived at the wilderness which leads to the Red Sea, just as the Lord had spoken to me. And we encompassed Mount Seir for a long time.	1 Profectique inde venimus in solitudinem per viam maris Ru bri, sicut mihi dixerat Dominus; et circuivimus montem Seir longo tempore.
2 And the Lord said to me:	2 Dixitque Dominus ad me:
3 ‘You have encompassed this mountain for long enough. Go forth, toward the north.	3 “Sufficit vobis circuire montem istum; ite contra aquilonem.
4 And instruct the people, saying: You shall cross through the borders of your brothers, the sons of Esau, who live at Seir, and they will fear you.	4 Et populo praecipe dicens: Transibitis per terminos fratrum vestrorum filiorum Esau, qui habitant in Seir, et timebunt vos.
5 Therefore, take care diligently, lest you be moved against them. For I will not give to you from their land even as much as the step that one foot can tread upon, because I have given Mount Seir to Esau as a possession.	5 Cavete 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 You shall buy food from them for money, and you shall eat. You shall draw water for money, and you shall drink.	6 Cibos emetis ab eis pecunia et comedetis; etiam aquam emptam haurietis et bibetis.
7 The Lord your God has blessed you in every work of your hands. The Lord your God, dwelling with you, knows your journey, how you crossed through this great wilderness over forty years, and how you have been lacking in nothing.’	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”.
8 And when we had passed through our brothers, the sons of Esau, who were living at Seir by the way of the plain from Elath and from Eziongeber, we arrived at the way which leads to the desert of Moab.	8 Cumque transissemus fratres nostros filios Esau, qui habitabant in Seir, per viam Arabae de Ailath et de Asiongaber, vertimus nos et venimus per iter, quod ducit in desertum Moab.
9 And the Lord said to me: ‘You should not fight against the Moabites, nor should you go to battle against them. For I will not give to you anything from their land, because I have given Ar to the sons of Lot as a possession.’	9 Dixitque Dominus ad me: “Non pugnes contra Moabitas nec ineas adversus eos proelium; non enim dabo tibi quidquam de terra eorum, quia filiis Lot tradidi Ar in possessionem.
10 The Emim were the first of its inhabitants, a people great and strong, and of such great height, like the race of the Anakim.	10 — Emim primi fuerunt habitatores eius, populus magnus et multus et tam excelsus ut Enacim;
11 They were considered to be like giants, and they were like the sons of the Anakim. And, indeed, the Moabites call them: the Emim.	11 ipsi quoque Raphaim reputabantur sicut Enacim; denique Moabitae appellant eos Emim.
12 The Horites also formerly lived at Seir. When these had been driven out and destroyed, the sons of Esau lived there, just as Israel did in the land of his possession, which the Lord gave to him.	12 In Seir autem prius habitaverunt Horim; quibus expulsis atque deletis, habitaverunt filii Esau pro eis, sicut fecit Israel in terra possessionis suae, quam dedit eis Dominus C.
13 Then, rising up so as to cross over the torrent Zered, we arrived at the place.	13 Surgite ergo et transite torrentem Zared”. Et transivimus torrentem Zared.
14 Then, from the time that we advanced from Kadesh-barnea until we crossed over the torrent Zered, there were thirty-eight years, until the entire generation of the men who were fit for war had been consumed out of the camp, just as the Lord had sworn.	14 Tempus autem, quo ambulavimus de Cadesbarne usque ad transitum torrentis Zared, triginta octo annorum fuit, donec consumeretur omnis generatio hominum bellatorum de castris, sicut iuraverat eis Dominus,
15 For his hand was against them, so that they would pass away from the midst of the camp.	15 cuius manus fuit adversum eos, ut interirent de castrorum medio.
16 Then, after all the fighting men had fallen,	16 Postquam autem universi ceciderunt pugnatores de medio populi,
17 the Lord spoke to me, saying:	17 locutus est Dominus ad me dicens:
18 ‘Today, you shall cross the borders of Moab, at the city named Ar.	18 “Tu transibis hodie terminos Moab, urbem nomine Ar;
19 And when you have arrived in the vicinity of the sons of Ammon, be careful that you do not fight against them, nor should you be moved to battle. For I will not give to you from the land of the sons of Ammon, because I have given it to the sons of Lot as a possession.’	19 et accedens in vicina filiorum Ammon, cave, ne pugnes contra eos nec movearis ad proelium; non enim dabo tibi de terra filiorum Ammon, quia filiis Lot dedi eam in possessionem.
20 It was reputed to be a land of giants. And giants lived there in times past, those whom the Ammonites call the Zamzummim.	20 — Terra Raphaim reputata est et ipsa olim habitaverunt Raphaim in ea, quos Ammonitae vocant Zomzommim,
21 They are a people, great and numerous, and of lofty stature, like the Anakim, whom the Lord wiped away before their face. And he caused them to live there in place of them,	21 populus magnus et multus et procerae longitudinis sicut Enacim, quos delevit Dominus a facie eorum et fecit illos habitare pro eis,
22 just as he had done for the sons of Esau, who live at Seir, wiping out the Horites and delivering their land to them, which they possess even to the present time.	22 sicut fecerat filiis Esau, qui habitant in Seir, delens Horim et terram eorum illis tradens, quam possident usque in praesens.
23 Likewise the Hevites, who were living in small villages as far as Gaza, were expelled by the Cappadocians, who went forth from Cappadocia, and they wiped them out and lived in their place.	23 Hevaeos quoque, qui habitabant in villis usque Gazam, Caphtorim, qui egressi de Caphtor deleverunt eos et habitaverunt pro illis C.
24 ‘Rise up and cross the torrent Arnon! Behold, I have delivered Sihon, the king of Heshbon, the Amorite, into your hand, and so, begin to possess his land and to engage in battle against him.	24 Surgite! Proficiscimini et transite torrentem Arnon: ecce tradidi in manu tua Sehon regem Hesebon Amorraeum; et terram eius incipe possidere et committe adversus eum proelium.
25 Today I will begin to send the terror and dread of you among the peoples who are living under all of heaven, so that, when they hear your name, they may be afraid, and may tremble in the manner of a woman giving birth, and may be gripped by anguish.’	25 Hodie incipiam mittere terrorem atque formidinem tuam in populos, qui habitant sub omni caelo, ut, audito nomine tuo, paveant et contremiscant coram te”.
26 Therefore, I sent messengers from the wilderness of Kedemoth to Sihon, the king of Heshbon, with peaceful words, saying:	26 Misi ergo nuntios de solitudine Cademoth ad Sehon regem Hesebon verbis pacificis dicens:
27 ‘We will cross through your land. We will advance by the public way. We will not turn aside, neither to the right, nor to the left.	27 Transibo per terram tuam, publica gradiar via, non declinabo neque ad dexteram neque ad sinistram;
28 Sell us food for a price, so that we may eat. Provide us with water for money, and so we will drink. We only ask that you allow us to pass through,	28 alimenta pretio vende mihi, ut vescar, aquam pecunia tribue mihi, et sic bibam; tantum est ut mihi concedas transitum,
29 just as the sons of Esau have done, who live at Seir, and the Moabites, who abide in Ar, until we arrive at the Jordan, and we cross to the land which the Lord our God will give to us.’	29 sicut fecerunt mihi filii Esau, qui habitant in Seir, et Moabitae, qui morantur in Ar, donec veniam ad Iordanem et transeam in terram, quam Dominus Deus noster daturus est nobis.
30 And Sihon, the king of Heshbon, was not willing to grant passage to us. For the Lord your God had hardened his spirit, and had fastened his heart, so that he would be delivered into your hands, just as you now see.	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 est in praesenti die.
31 And the Lord said to me: ‘Behold, I have begun to deliver Sihon and his land to you. Begin to possess it.’	31 Dixitque Dominus ad me: “Ecce coepi tradere tibi Sehon et terram eius. Incipe possidere eam!”.
32 And Sihon went out to meet us with all his people, to battle at Jahaz.	32 Egressusque est Sehon obviam nobis cum omni populo suo ad proelium in Iasa,
33 And the Lord our God delivered him to us. And we struck him down, with his sons and all his people.	33 et tradidit eum Dominus Deus noster nobis; percussimusque eum cum filiis suis et omni populo suo.
34 And we seized all his cities at that time, putting to death their inhabitants: men as well as women and children. We left nothing of them,	34 Cunctasque urbes eius in tempore illo cepimus et percussimus anathemate singulas civitates cum viris ac mulieribus et parvulis; neminem reliquimus in eis superstitem,
35 except the cattle, which went to the share of those who plundered them. And we seized the spoils of the cities,	35 absque iumentis, quae in partem venere praedantium, et spoliis urbium, quas cepimus.
36 from Aroer, which is above the bank of the torrent Arnon, a town which is situated in a valley, all the way to Gilead. There was not a village or city which escaped from our hands. The Lord our God delivered everything to us,	36 Ab Aroer, quae est super ripam torrentis Arnon, et oppido, quod in valle situm est, usque Galaad non fuit civitas, quae nostras effugeret manus: omnia tradidit Dominus Deus noster nobis,
37 except the land of the sons of Ammon, which we did not approach, and all that is adjacent to the torrent Jabbok, and the cities in the mountains, and all the places which the Lord our God prohibited to us.”	37 absque terra filiorum Ammon, ad quam non accessisti, cunctis, quae adiacent torrenti Iaboc, et urbibus montanis universisque locis, a quibus nos prohibuit Dominus Deus noster.
