民數記 21
Revised Chinese Union Version (Traditional Script) Shen Edition
戰勝迦南人
21 住尼革夫的迦南人的亞拉得王，聽說以色列從亞他林路來，就和以色列交戰，擄去他們一些人。 2 以色列向耶和華許願說：「你若把這百姓真的交在我手中，我就把他們的城鎮徹底毀滅。」 3 耶和華垂聽了以色列的聲音，把迦南人交出來。以色列就把迦南人和他們的城鎮徹底毀滅。因此，那地方名叫何珥瑪[a]。
銅製的蛇
4 他們從何珥山起行，繞過以東地往紅海那條路走。在路上，百姓心中煩躁。 5 百姓向 神和摩西發怨言，說：「你們為甚麼把我們從埃及領上來[b]，使我們死在曠野呢？這裏沒有糧食，沒有水，我們厭惡這淡而無味的食物。」 6 耶和華派火蛇進入百姓當中去咬他們，於是以色列中死了許多百姓。 7 百姓到摩西那裏，說：「我們有罪了，因為我們向耶和華和你發怨言。求你向耶和華禱告，叫蛇離開我們。」於是摩西為百姓禱告。 8 耶和華對摩西說：「你要造一條火蛇，掛在杆子上。凡被咬的，一望這蛇就必存活。」 9 摩西就造了一條銅蛇，掛在杆子上。凡被蛇咬的，一望這銅蛇就活了。
從何珥山到摩押谷
10 以色列人起行，安營在阿伯。 11 又從阿伯起行，安營在以耶‧亞巴琳，在摩押對面的曠野，向日出的方向。 12 又從那裏起行，安營在撒烈谷。 13 從那裏再起行，安營在亞嫩河的另一邊。這亞嫩河在曠野，從亞摩利人的境內流出來；亞嫩河是摩押的邊界，在摩押和亞摩利人之間。 14 所以《耶和華的戰記》中提到：
「蘇法的哇哈伯，
亞嫩河谷，
15 以及亞珥地區眾河床的斜坡，
都靠近摩押的邊境。」
16 以色列人從那裏起行，到了比珥[c]。從前耶和華對摩西說：「召集百姓，我要給他們水」，說的就是這井。 17 當時，以色列人唱這首歌：
「井啊，湧出水來！
你們要向它歌唱！
18 這井是領袖用權杖所挖，
是百姓中的貴族用手杖所掘。」
以色列人從曠野往瑪他拿去， 19 從瑪他拿到拿哈列，從拿哈列到巴末， 20 從巴末到摩押地的谷，又到那可以瞭望曠野的毗斯迦山頂。
戰勝亞摩利王和巴珊王(A)
21 以色列差遣使者到亞摩利人的王西宏那裏，說： 22 「求你讓我們穿越你的地；我們不岔進田間和葡萄園，也不喝井裏的水，只走王的大道，直到過了你的邊界。」 23 但西宏不讓以色列人穿越他的境內，就召集他的眾百姓出到曠野，要攻擊以色列，到了雅雜與以色列交戰。 24 以色列人用刀殺了他，佔領了他的地，從亞嫩河到雅博河，直到亞捫人的邊界，因為亞捫人的邊防堅固。 25 以色列人奪取這裏所有的城鎮，就住在亞摩利人的城鎮中，包括希實本和所屬的一切鄉鎮[d]。 26 希實本是亞摩利王西宏的首都；西宏曾與先前的摩押王交戰，從他手中奪取了他所有的地，直到亞嫩河。 27 所以那些作詩歌的說：
你們到希實本來吧；
願西宏的城被修造建立。
28 因為有火從希實本發出，
有火焰從西宏的城冒出，
燒燬了摩押的亞珥，
亞嫩河丘壇的主[e]。
29 摩押啊，你有禍了！
基抹的百姓啊，你們滅亡了！
基抹的男子逃亡，
女子被擄，
交給了亞摩利王西宏。
30 我們射了他們；
希實本直到底本盡都毀滅[f]。
我們劫掠，直到挪法；
這挪法直延到米底巴。
31 這樣，以色列人就住在亞摩利人的地。 32 摩西差派人去窺探雅謝；以色列人佔領了雅謝附近的鄉村，趕出那裏的亞摩利人。
33 後來，以色列人轉回，往上巴珊的路去。巴珊王噩率領他的眾百姓出來，在以得來與他們交戰。 34 耶和華對摩西說：「不要怕他！因為我已將他和他的眾百姓，以及他的地都交在你手中。你要待他如同待住在希實本的亞摩利王西宏一樣。」 35 於是他們殺了巴珊王和他的眾子，以及他的眾百姓，沒有留下一個倖存者，並且佔領了他的地。
Numbers 21
King James Version
21 And when king Arad the Canaanite, which dwelt in the south, heard tell that Israel came by the way of the spies; then he fought against Israel, and took some of them prisoners.
2 And Israel vowed a vow unto the Lord, and said, If thou wilt indeed deliver this people into my hand, then I will utterly destroy their cities.
3 And the Lord hearkened to the voice of Israel, and delivered up the Canaanites; and they utterly destroyed them and their cities: and he called the name of the place Hormah.
4 And they journeyed from mount Hor by the way of the Red sea, to compass the land of Edom: and the soul of the people was much discouraged because of the way.
5 And the people spake against God, and against Moses, Wherefore have ye brought us up out of Egypt to die in the wilderness? for there is no bread, neither is there any water; and our soul loatheth this light bread.
6 And the Lord sent fiery serpents among the people, and they bit the people; and much people of Israel died.
7 Therefore the people came to Moses, and said, We have sinned, for we have spoken against the Lord, and against thee; pray unto the Lord, that he take away the serpents from us. And Moses prayed for the people.
8 And the Lord said unto Moses, Make thee a fiery serpent, and set it upon a pole: and it shall come to pass, that every one that is bitten, when he looketh upon it, shall live.
9 And Moses made a serpent of brass, and put it upon a pole, and it came to pass, that if a serpent had bitten any man, when he beheld the serpent of brass, he lived.
10 And the children of Israel set forward, and pitched in Oboth.
11 And they journeyed from Oboth, and pitched at Ijeabarim, in the wilderness which is before Moab, toward the sunrising.
12 From thence they removed, and pitched in the valley of Zared.
13 From thence they removed, and pitched on the other side of Arnon, which is in the wilderness that cometh out of the coasts of the Amorites: for Arnon is the border of Moab, between Moab and the Amorites.
14 Wherefore it is said in the book of the wars of the Lord, What he did in the Red sea, and in the brooks of Arnon,
15 And at the stream of the brooks that goeth down to the dwelling of Ar, and lieth upon the border of Moab.
16 And from thence they went to Beer: that is the well whereof the Lord spake unto Moses, Gather the people together, and I will give them water.
17 Then Israel sang this song, Spring up, O well; sing ye unto it:
18 The princes digged the well, the nobles of the people digged it, by the direction of the lawgiver, with their staves. And from the wilderness they went to Mattanah:
19 And from Mattanah to Nahaliel: and from Nahaliel to Bamoth:
20 And from Bamoth in the valley, that is in the country of Moab, to the top of Pisgah, which looketh toward Jeshimon.
21 And Israel sent messengers unto Sihon king of the Amorites, saying,
22 Let me pass through thy land: we will not turn into the fields, or into the vineyards; we will not drink of the waters of the well: but we will go along by the king's high way, until we be past thy borders.
23 And Sihon would not suffer Israel to pass through his border: but Sihon gathered all his people together, and went out against Israel into the wilderness: and he came to Jahaz, and fought against Israel.
24 And Israel smote him with the edge of the sword, and possessed his land from Arnon unto Jabbok, even unto the children of Ammon: for the border of the children of Ammon was strong.
25 And Israel took all these cities: and Israel dwelt in all the cities of the Amorites, in Heshbon, and in all the villages thereof.
26 For Heshbon was the city of Sihon the king of the Amorites, who had fought against the former king of Moab, and taken all his land out of his hand, even unto Arnon.
27 Wherefore they that speak in proverbs say, Come into Heshbon, let the city of Sihon be built and prepared:
28 For there is a fire gone out of Heshbon, a flame from the city of Sihon: it hath consumed ar of Moab, and the lords of the high places of Arnon.
29 Woe to thee, Moab! thou art undone, O people of Chemosh: he hath given his sons that escaped, and his daughters, into captivity unto Sihon king of the Amorites.
30 We have shot at them; Heshbon is perished even unto Dibon, and we have laid them waste even unto Nophah, which reacheth unto Medeba.
31 Thus Israel dwelt in the land of the Amorites.
32 And Moses sent to spy out Jaazer, and they took the villages thereof, and drove out the Amorites that were there.
33 And they turned and went up by the way of Bashan: and og the king of bashan went out against them, he, and all his people, to the battle at edrei.
34 And the Lord said unto Moses, Fear him not: for I have delivered him into thy hand, and all his people, and his land; and thou shalt do to him as thou didst unto Sihon king of the Amorites, which dwelt at Heshbon.
35 So they smote him, and his sons, and all his people, until there was none left him alive: and they possessed his land.
Numbers 21
New King James Version
Canaanites Defeated at Hormah
21 The (A)king of Arad, the Canaanite, who dwelt in the South, heard that Israel was coming on the road to Atharim. Then he fought against Israel and took some of them prisoners. 2 (B)So Israel made a vow to the Lord, and said, “If You will indeed deliver this people into my hand, then (C)I will utterly destroy their cities.” 3 And the Lord listened to the voice of Israel and delivered up the Canaanites, and they utterly destroyed them and their cities. So the name of that place was called [a]Hormah.
The Bronze Serpent
4 Then they journeyed from Mount Hor by the Way of the Red Sea, to (D)go around the land of Edom; and the soul of the people became very [b]discouraged on the way. 5 And the people (E)spoke against God and against Moses: “Why have you brought us up out of Egypt to die in the wilderness? For there is no food and no water, and our soul [c]loathes this worthless bread.” 6 So (F)the Lord sent (G)fiery serpents among the people, and they bit the people; and many of the people of Israel died.
7 (H)Therefore the people came to Moses, and said, “We have (I)sinned, for we have spoken against the Lord and against you; (J)pray to the Lord that He take away the serpents from us.” So Moses prayed for the people.
8 Then the Lord said to Moses, (K)“Make a (L)fiery serpent, and set it on a pole; and it shall be that everyone who is bitten, when he looks at it, shall live.” 9 So (M)Moses made a bronze serpent, and put it on a pole; and so it was, if a serpent had bitten anyone, when he looked at the bronze serpent, he lived.
From Mount Hor to Moab
10 Now the children of Israel moved on and (N)camped in Oboth. 11 And they journeyed from Oboth and camped at [d]Ije Abarim, in the wilderness which is east of Moab, toward the sunrise. 12 (O)From there they moved and camped in the Valley of Zered. 13 From there they moved and camped on the other side of the Arnon, which is in the wilderness that extends from the border of the Amorites; for (P)the Arnon is the border of Moab, between Moab and the Amorites. 14 Therefore it is said in the Book of the Wars of the Lord:
[e]“Waheb in Suphah,
The brooks of the Arnon,
15 And the slope of the brooks
That reaches to the dwelling of (Q)Ar,
And lies on the border of Moab.”
16 From there they went (R)to Beer, which is the well where the Lord said to Moses, “Gather the people together, and I will give them water.” 17 (S)Then Israel sang this song:
“Spring up, O well!
All of you sing to it—
18 The well the leaders sank,
Dug by the nation’s nobles,
By the (T)lawgiver, with their staves.”
And from the wilderness they went to Mattanah, 19 from Mattanah to Nahaliel, from Nahaliel to Bamoth, 20 and from Bamoth, in the valley that is in the [f]country of Moab, to the top of Pisgah which looks (U)down on the [g]wasteland.
King Sihon Defeated(V)
21 Then (W)Israel sent messengers to Sihon king of the Amorites, saying, 22 (X)“Let me pass through your land. We will not turn aside into fields or vineyards; we will not drink water from wells. We will go by the King’s Highway until we have passed through your territory.” 23 (Y)But Sihon would not allow Israel to pass through his territory. So Sihon gathered all his people together and [h]went out against Israel in the wilderness, (Z)and he came to Jahaz and fought against Israel. 24 Then (AA)Israel defeated him with the edge of the sword, and took possession of his land from the Arnon to the Jabbok, as far as the people of Ammon; for the border of the people of Ammon was fortified. 25 So Israel took all these cities, and Israel (AB)dwelt in all the cities of the Amorites, in Heshbon and in all its villages. 26 For Heshbon was the city of Sihon king of the Amorites, who had fought against the former king of Moab, and had taken all his land from his hand as far as the Arnon. 27 Therefore those who speak in [i]proverbs say:
“Come to Heshbon, let it be built;
Let the city of Sihon be repaired.
28 “For (AC)fire went out from Heshbon,
A flame from the city of Sihon;
It consumed (AD)Ar of Moab,
The lords of the (AE)heights of the Arnon.
29 Woe to you, (AF)Moab!
You have perished, O people of (AG)Chemosh!
He has given his (AH)sons as fugitives,
And his (AI)daughters into captivity,
To Sihon king of the Amorites.
30 “But we have shot at them;
Heshbon has perished (AJ)as far as Dibon.
Then we laid waste as far as Nophah,
Which reaches to (AK)Medeba.”
31 Thus Israel dwelt in the land of the Amorites. 32 Then Moses sent to [j]spy out (AL)Jazer; and they took its villages and drove out the Amorites who were there.
King Og Defeated(AM)
33 (AN)And they turned and went up by the way to (AO)Bashan. So Og king of Bashan went out against them, he and all his people, to battle (AP)at Edrei. 34 Then the Lord said to Moses, (AQ)“Do not fear him, for I have [k]delivered him into your hand, with all his people and his land; and (AR)you shall do to him as you did to Sihon king of the Amorites, who dwelt at Heshbon.” 35 (AS)So they defeated him, his sons, and all his people, until there was no survivor left him; and they took possession of his land.
