1 και επιστραφεντες απηραμεν εις την ερημον οδον θαλασσαν ερυθραν ον τροπον ελαλησεν κυριος προς με και εκυκλωσαμεν το ορος το σηιρ ημερας πολλας1 “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.
2 και ειπεν κυριος προς με2 And the Lord said to me:
3 ικανουσθω υμιν κυκλουν το ορος τουτο επιστραφητε ουν επι βορραν3 ‘You have encompassed this mountain for long enough. Go forth, toward the north.
4 και τω λαω εντειλαι λεγων υμεις παραπορευεσθε δια των οριων των αδελφων υμων υιων ησαυ οι κατοικουσιν εν σηιρ και φοβηθησονται υμας και ευλαβηθησονται υμας σφοδρα4 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.
5 μη συναψητε προς αυτους πολεμον ου γαρ μη δω υμιν απο της γης αυτων ουδε βημα ποδος οτι εν κληρω δεδωκα τοις υιοις ησαυ το ορος το σηιρ5 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.
6 βρωματα αργυριου αγορασατε παρ' αυτων και φαγεσθε και υδωρ μετρω λημψεσθε παρ' αυτων αργυριου και πιεσθε6 You shall buy food from them for money, and you shall eat. You shall draw water for money, and you shall drink.
7 ο γαρ κυριος ο θεος ημων ευλογησεν σε εν παντι εργω των χειρων σου διαγνωθι πως διηλθες την ερημον την μεγαλην και την φοβεραν εκεινην ιδου τεσσαρακοντα ετη κυριος ο θεος σου μετα σου ουκ επεδεηθης ρηματος7 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.’
8 και παρηλθομεν τους αδελφους ημων υιους ησαυ τους κατοικουντας εν σηιρ παρα την οδον την αραβα απο αιλων και απο γασιωνγαβερ και επιστρεψαντες παρηλθομεν οδον ερημον μωαβ8 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.
9 και ειπεν κυριος προς με μη εχθραινετε τοις μωαβιταις και μη συναψητε προς αυτους πολεμον ου γαρ μη δω υμιν απο της γης αυτων εν κληρω τοις γαρ υιοις λωτ δεδωκα την σηιρ κληρονομειν9 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.’
10 οι ομμιν προτεροι ενεκαθηντο επ' αυτης εθνος μεγα και πολυ και ισχυοντες ωσπερ οι ενακιμ10 The Emim were the first of its inhabitants, a people great and strong, and of such great height, like the race of the Anakim.
11 ραφαιν λογισθησονται και ουτοι ωσπερ οι ενακιμ και οι μωαβιται επονομαζουσιν αυτους ομμιν11 They were considered to be like giants, and they were like the sons of the Anakim. And, indeed, the Moabites call them: the Emim.
12 και εν σηιρ ενεκαθητο ο χορραιος προτερον και υιοι ησαυ απωλεσαν αυτους και εξετριψαν αυτους απο προσωπου αυτων και κατωκισθησαν αντ' αυτων ον τροπον εποιησεν ισραηλ την γην της κληρονομιας αυτου ην δεδωκεν κυριος αυτοις12 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.
13 νυν ουν αναστητε και απαρατε υμεις και παραπορευεσθε την φαραγγα ζαρετ και παρηλθομεν την φαραγγα ζαρετ13 Then, rising up so as to cross over the torrent Zered, we arrived at the place.
14 και αι ημεραι ας παρεπορευθημεν απο καδης βαρνη εως ου παρηλθομεν την φαραγγα ζαρετ τριακοντα και οκτω ετη εως ου διεπεσεν πασα γενεα ανδρων πολεμιστων αποθνησκοντες εκ της παρεμβολης καθοτι ωμοσεν αυτοις ο θεος14 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.
15 και η χειρ του θεου ην επ' αυτοις εξαναλωσαι αυτους εκ της παρεμβολης εως ου διεπεσαν15 For his hand was against them, so that they would pass away from the midst of the camp.
16 και εγενηθη επει διεπεσαν παντες οι ανδρες οι πολεμισται αποθνησκοντες εκ μεσου του λαου16 Then, after all the fighting men had fallen,
17 και ελαλησεν κυριος προς με λεγων17 the Lord spoke to me, saying:
18 συ παραπορευση σημερον τα ορια μωαβ την σηιρ18 ‘Today, you shall cross the borders of Moab, at the city named Ar.
19 και προσαξετε εγγυς υιων αμμαν μη εχθραινετε αυτοις και μη συναψητε αυτοις εις πολεμον ου γαρ μη δω απο της γης υιων αμμαν σοι εν κληρω οτι τοις υιοις λωτ δεδωκα αυτην εν κληρω19 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.’
20 γη ραφαιν λογισθησεται και γαρ επ' αυτης κατωκουν οι ραφαιν το προτερον και οι αμμανιται ονομαζουσιν αυτους ζομζομμιν20 It was reputed to be a land of giants. And giants lived there in times past, those whom the Ammonites call the Zamzummim.
21 εθνος μεγα και πολυ και δυνατωτερον υμων ωσπερ οι ενακιμ και απωλεσεν αυτους κυριος προ προσωπου αυτων και κατεκληρονομησαν και κατωκισθησαν αντ' αυτων εως της ημερας ταυτης21 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,
22 ωσπερ εποιησαν τοις υιοις ησαυ τοις κατοικουσιν εν σηιρ ον τροπον εξετριψαν τον χορραιον απο προσωπου αυτων και κατεκληρονομησαν και κατωκισθησαν αντ' αυτων εως της ημερας ταυτης22 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.
23 και οι ευαιοι οι κατοικουντες εν ασηρωθ εως γαζης και οι καππαδοκες οι εξελθοντες εκ καππαδοκιας εξετριψαν αυτους και κατωκισθησαν αντ' αυτων23 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.
24 νυν ουν αναστητε και απαρατε και παρελθατε υμεις την φαραγγα αρνων ιδου παραδεδωκα εις τας χειρας σου τον σηων βασιλεα εσεβων τον αμορραιον και την γην αυτου εναρχου κληρονομειν συναπτε προς αυτον πολεμον24 ‘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.
25 εν τη ημερα ταυτη εναρχου δουναι τον τρομον σου και τον φοβον σου επι προσωπον παντων των εθνων των υποκατω του ουρανου οιτινες ακουσαντες το ονομα σου ταραχθησονται και ωδινας εξουσιν απο προσωπου σου25 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.’
26 και απεστειλα πρεσβεις εκ της ερημου κεδαμωθ προς σηων βασιλεα εσεβων λογοις ειρηνικοις λεγων26 Therefore, I sent messengers from the wilderness of Kedemoth to Sihon, the king of Heshbon, with peaceful words, saying:
27 παρελευσομαι δια της γης σου εν τη οδω παρελευσομαι ουχι εκκλινω δεξια ουδε αριστερα27 ‘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.
28 βρωματα αργυριου αποδωση μοι και φαγομαι και υδωρ αργυριου αποδωση μοι και πιομαι πλην οτι παρελευσομαι τοις ποσιν28 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,
29 καθως εποιησαν μοι οι υιοι ησαυ οι κατοικουντες εν σηιρ και οι μωαβιται οι κατοικουντες εν αροηρ εως παρελθω τον ιορδανην εις την γην ην κυριος ο θεος ημων διδωσιν ημιν29 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.’
30 και ουκ ηθελησεν σηων βασιλευς εσεβων παρελθειν ημας δι' αυτου οτι εσκληρυνεν κυριος ο θεος ημων το πνευμα αυτου και κατισχυσεν την καρδιαν αυτου ινα παραδοθη εις τας χειρας σου ως εν τη ημερα ταυτη30 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.
31 και ειπεν κυριος προς με ιδου ηργμαι παραδουναι προ προσωπου σου τον σηων βασιλεα εσεβων τον αμορραιον και την γην αυτου εναρξαι κληρονομησαι την γην αυτου31 And the Lord said to me: ‘Behold, I have begun to deliver Sihon and his land to you. Begin to possess it.’
32 και εξηλθεν σηων βασιλευς εσεβων εις συναντησιν ημιν αυτος και πας ο λαος αυτου εις πολεμον ιασσα32 And Sihon went out to meet us with all his people, to battle at Jahaz.
33 και παρεδωκεν αυτον κυριος ο θεος ημων προ προσωπου ημων και επαταξαμεν αυτον και τους υιους αυτου και παντα τον λαον αυτου33 And the Lord our God delivered him to us. And we struck him down, with his sons and all his people.
34 και εκρατησαμεν πασων των πολεων αυτου εν τω καιρω εκεινω και εξωλεθρευσαμεν πασαν πολιν εξης και τας γυναικας αυτων και τα τεκνα αυτων ου κατελιπομεν ζωγρειαν34 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,
35 πλην τα κτηνη επρονομευσαμεν και τα σκυλα των πολεων ελαβομεν35 except the cattle, which went to the share of those who plundered them. And we seized the spoils of the cities,
36 εξ αροηρ η εστιν παρα το χειλος χειμαρρου αρνων και την πολιν την ουσαν εν τη φαραγγι και εως ορους του γαλααδ ουκ εγενηθη πολις ητις διεφυγεν ημας τας πασας παρεδωκεν κυριος ο θεος ημων εις τας χειρας ημων36 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,
37 πλην εις γην υιων αμμων ου προσηλθομεν παντα τα συγκυρουντα χειμαρρου ιαβοκ και τας πολεις τας εν τη ορεινη καθοτι ενετειλατο ημιν κυριος ο θεος ημων37 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.”
