Nang magkagayo'y pumihit tayo, at lumakad tayo sa ilang na daang patungo sa Dagat na Mapula, gaya ng sinalita sa akin ng Panginoon; at tayo'y malaong lumigid sa bundok ng Seir.

At ang Panginoon ay nagsalita sa akin, na sinasabi,

Malaon na ninyong naligid ang bundok na ito: lumiko kayo sa dakong hilagaan.

At iutos mo sa bayan, na iyong sabihin, Kayo'y dadaan sa hangganan ng inyong mga kapatid na mga anak ni Esau, na tumatahan sa Seir; at sila'y matatakot sa inyo. Magsipagingat nga kayong mabuti:

Huwag kayong makipagkaalit sa kanila; sapagka't hindi ko ibibigay sa inyo ang kanilang lupain, kahit ang natutungtungan ng talampakan ng isang paa: sapagka't ibinigay ko kay Esau, na pinakaari ang bundok ng Seir.

Kayo'y bibili sa kanila ng pagkain sa pamamagitan ng salapi, upang kayo'y makakain; at kayo'y bibili rin sa kanila ng tubig sa pamamagitan ng salapi, upang kayo'y makainom.

Sapagka't pinagpala ka ng Panginoon mong Dios, sa lahat ng gawa ng iyong kamay; kaniyang natalastas ang iyong paglalakbay dito sa malawak na ilang; sa loob nitong apat na pung taon ay sumaiyo ang Panginoon mong Dios; ikaw ay di kinulang ng anoman.

Gayon tayo nagdaan sa ating mga kapatid, na mga anak ni Esau, na tumatahan sa Seir, mula sa daan ng Araba, mula sa Elath at mula sa Esion-geber. At tayo'y bumalik at nagdaan sa ilang ng Moab.

At sinabi sa akin ng Panginoon, Huwag mong kaalitin ang Moab, ni kakalabanin sila sa digma; sapagka't hindi kita bibigyan sa kaniyang lupain ng pinakaari; sapagka't aking ibinigay na pinakaari ang Ar sa mga anak ni Lot.

10 (Ang mga Emimeo ay nanahan doon noong una, bayang malaki, at marami, at matataas na gaya ng mga Anaceo:

11 Ang mga ito man ay ibinilang na mga Rephaim, na gaya ng mga Anaceo; nguni't tinatawag silang Emimeo ng mga Moabita.

12 Ang mga Hereo man ay tumahan sa Seir noong una, nguni't ang mga anak ni Esau ay humalili sa kanila; at nalipol sila ng mga ito sa harap din nila, at tumahan na kahalili nila; gaya ng ginawa ng Israel sa lupaing kaniyang pag-aari, na ibinigay ng Panginoon sa kanila.)

13 Ngayon, tumindig kayo, at tumawid kayo sa batis ng Zered. At tayo'y tumawid sa batis ng Zered.

14 At ang mga araw na ating ipinaglakad mula sa Cades-barnea hanggang sa tayo'y nakarating sa batis ng Zered, ay tatlong pu't walong taon, hanggang sa ang buong lahi ng mga lalaking mangdidigma ay nalipol sa gitna ng kampamento, gaya ng isinumpa sa kanila ng Panginoon.

15 Bukod dito'y ang kamay ng Panginoon ay naging laban sa kanila, upang lipulin sila sa gitna ng kampamento, hanggang sa sila'y nalipol.

16 Kaya't nangyari, nang malipol at mamatay sa gitna ng bayan ang lahat ng lalaking mangdidigma.

17 Ay sinalita sa akin ng Panginoon, na sinasabi,

18 Ikaw ay dadaan sa araw na ito sa Ar, na hangganan ng Moab:

19 At pagka ikaw ay matatapat sa mga anak ni Ammon, ay huwag kang manampalasan sa kanila ni makipagtalo sa kanila: sapagka't hindi ko ibibigay sa iyo na pinakaari ang lupain ng mga anak ni Ammon: sapagka't aking ibinigay na pinakaari sa mga anak ni Lot.

20 (Yaon man ay ibinilang na lupain ng mga Rephaim: ang mga Rephaim ang tumatahan doon noong una; nguni't tinawag na mga Zomzommeo ng mga Ammonita;

21 Bayang malaki at marami at matataas na gaya ng mga Anaceo; nguni't nilipol sila ng Panginoon sa harap nila; at sila'y humalili sa kanila, at tumahang kahalili nila:

22 Gaya ng ginawa ng Panginoon sa mga anak ni Esau, na tumatahan sa Seir, nang kaniyang lipulin ang mga Horeo sa harap nila; at sila'y humalili sa kanila, at tumahang kahalili nila hanggang sa araw na ito:

23 At ang mga Heveo na nangagsitahan sa mga nayon hanggang sa Gaza, ay nilipol ng mga Caftoreo na nangagmula sa Caftor, at tumahang kahalili nila.)

24 Magsitindig kayo, kayo'y maglakbay, at magdaan kayo sa libis ng Arnon: narito, aking ibinigay sa iyong kamay si Sehon na Amorrheo, na hari sa Hesbon, at ang kaniyang lupain: pasimulan mong ariin, at kalabanin mo siya sa digma.

25 Sa araw na ito ay pasisimulan kong ilagay sa mga bayang nangasa silong ng buong langit, ang sindak sa iyo at ang takot sa iyo, na maririnig nila ang iyong kabantugan, at magsisipanginig, at mangahahapis, dahil sa iyo.

26 At ako'y nagsugo ng mga sugo mula sa ilang ng Cademoth kay Sehon na hari sa Hesbon na may mapayapang pananalita, na sinasabi,

27 Paraanin mo ako sa iyong lupain: sa daan lamang ako lalakad, hindi ako liliko maging sa kanan ni sa kaliwa.

28 Pagbibilhan mo ako ng pagkain sa salapi, upang makakain ako, at bibigyan mo ako ng tubig sa salapi, upang makainom ako; paraanin mo lamang ako ng aking mga paa;

29 Gaya ng ginawa sa akin ng mga anak ni Esau, na tumatahan sa Seir, at ng mga Moabita na tumatahan sa Ar; hanggang sa makatawid ako sa Jordan, sa lupaing sa amin ay ibinibigay ng Panginoon naming Dios.

30 Nguni't ayaw tayong paraanin ni Sehon na hari sa Hesbon sa lupa niya; sapagka't pinapagmatigas ng Panginoon mong Dios ang kaniyang diwa, at pinapagmatigas ang kaniyang puso, upang maibigay siya sa iyong kamay gaya sa araw na ito.

31 At sinabi sa akin ng Panginoon, Narito, aking pinasimulang ibigay sa harap mo si Sehon at ang kaniyang lupain: pasimulan mong ariin upang iyong mamana ang kaniyang lupain.

32 Nang magkagayo'y lumabas si Sehon laban sa atin, siya at ang buong bayan niya, sa pakikipagbaka sa Jahaz.

33 At ibinigay siya ng Panginoon nating Dios sa harap natin; at ating sinaktan siya, at ang kaniyang mga anak at ang kaniyang buong bayan.

34 At ating sinakop ang lahat niyang mga bayan nang panahong yaon, at ating lubos na nilipol ang bawa't bayan na tinatahanan, sangpu ng mga babae at ng mga bata; wala tayong itinira:

35 Ang mga hayop lamang ang dinalang pinakasamsam, sangpu ng mga nasamsam sa mga bayan na ating sinakop.

36 Mula sa Aroer na nasa tabi ng libis ng Arnon at mula sa bayan na nasa libis, hanggang sa Galaad, ay wala tayong minataas na bayan: ibinigay na lahat sa harap natin ng Panginoon nating Dios:

37 Sa lupain lamang ng mga anak ni Ammon hindi ka lumapit; sa buong pangpang ng ilog Jaboc at sa mga bayan ng lupaing maburol, at saan man na ipinagbawal sa atin ng Panginoon nating Dios.

'Deuteronomio 2 ' not found for the version: Ang Bagong Tipan: Filipino Standard Version.

Wanderings in the Wilderness

Then we turned back and set out toward the wilderness along the route to the Red Sea,[a](A) as the Lord had directed me. For a long time we made our way around the hill country of Seir.(B)

Then the Lord said to me, “You have made your way around this hill country long enough;(C) now turn north. Give the people these orders:(D) ‘You are about to pass through the territory of your relatives the descendants of Esau,(E) who live in Seir.(F) They will be afraid(G) of you, but be very careful. Do not provoke them to war, for I will not give you any of their land, not even enough to put your foot on. I have given Esau the hill country of Seir as his own.(H) You are to pay them in silver for the food you eat and the water you drink.’”

The Lord your God has blessed you in all the work of your hands. He has watched(I) over your journey through this vast wilderness.(J) These forty years(K) the Lord your God has been with you, and you have not lacked anything.(L)

So we went on past our relatives the descendants of Esau, who live in Seir. We turned from(M) the Arabah(N) road, which comes up from Elath and Ezion Geber,(O) and traveled along the desert road of Moab.(P)

Then the Lord said to me, “Do not harass the Moabites or provoke them to war, for I will not give you any part of their land. I have given Ar(Q) to the descendants of Lot(R) as a possession.”

10 (The Emites(S) used to live there—a people strong and numerous, and as tall as the Anakites.(T) 11 Like the Anakites, they too were considered Rephaites,(U) but the Moabites called them Emites. 12 Horites(V) used to live in Seir, but the descendants of Esau drove them out. They destroyed the Horites from before them and settled in their place, just as Israel did(W) in the land the Lord gave them as their possession.)

13 And the Lord said, “Now get up and cross the Zered Valley.(X)” So we crossed the valley.

14 Thirty-eight years(Y) passed from the time we left Kadesh Barnea(Z) until we crossed the Zered Valley. By then, that entire generation(AA) of fighting men had perished from the camp, as the Lord had sworn to them.(AB) 15 The Lord’s hand was against them until he had completely eliminated(AC) them from the camp.

16 Now when the last of these fighting men among the people had died, 17 the Lord said to me, 18 “Today you are to pass by the region of Moab at Ar.(AD) 19 When you come to the Ammonites,(AE) do not harass them or provoke them to war,(AF) for I will not give you possession of any land belonging to the Ammonites. I have given it as a possession to the descendants of Lot.(AG)

20 (That too was considered a land of the Rephaites,(AH) who used to live there; but the Ammonites called them Zamzummites. 21 They were a people strong and numerous, and as tall as the Anakites.(AI) The Lord destroyed them from before the Ammonites, who drove them out and settled in their place. 22 The Lord had done the same for the descendants of Esau, who lived in Seir,(AJ) when he destroyed the Horites from before them. They drove them out and have lived in their place to this day. 23 And as for the Avvites(AK) who lived in villages as far as Gaza,(AL) the Caphtorites(AM) coming out from Caphtor[b](AN) destroyed them and settled in their place.)

Defeat of Sihon King of Heshbon

24 “Set out now and cross the Arnon Gorge.(AO) See, I have given into your hand Sihon the Amorite,(AP) king of Heshbon, and his country. Begin to take possession of it and engage(AQ) him in battle. 25 This very day I will begin to put the terror(AR) and fear(AS) of you on all the nations under heaven. They will hear reports of you and will tremble(AT) and be in anguish because of you.”

26 From the Desert of Kedemoth(AU) I sent messengers to Sihon(AV) king of Heshbon offering peace(AW) and saying, 27 “Let us pass through your country. We will stay on the main road; we will not turn aside to the right or to the left.(AX) 28 Sell us food to eat(AY) and water to drink for their price in silver. Only let us pass through on foot(AZ) 29 as the descendants of Esau, who live in Seir, and the Moabites, who live in Ar, did for us—until we cross the Jordan into the land the Lord our God is giving us.” 30 But Sihon king of Heshbon refused to let us pass through. For the Lord(BA) your God had made his spirit stubborn(BB) and his heart obstinate(BC) in order to give him into your hands,(BD) as he has now done.

31 The Lord said to me, “See, I have begun to deliver Sihon and his country over to you. Now begin to conquer and possess his land.”(BE)

32 When Sihon and all his army came out to meet us in battle(BF) at Jahaz, 33 the Lord our God delivered(BG) him over to us and we struck him down,(BH) together with his sons and his whole army. 34 At that time we took all his towns and completely destroyed[c](BI) them—men, women and children. We left no survivors. 35 But the livestock(BJ) and the plunder(BK) from the towns we had captured we carried off for ourselves. 36 From Aroer(BL) on the rim of the Arnon Gorge, and from the town in the gorge, even as far as Gilead,(BM) not one town was too strong for us. The Lord our God gave(BN) us all of them. 37 But in accordance with the command of the Lord our God,(BO) you did not encroach on any of the land of the Ammonites,(BP) neither the land along the course of the Jabbok(BQ) nor that around the towns in the hills.

Then we turned, and took our journey into the wilderness by the way of the Red sea, as the Lord spake unto me: and we compassed mount Seir many days.

And the Lord spake unto me, saying,

Ye have compassed this mountain long enough: turn you northward.

And command thou the people, saying, Ye are to pass through the coast of your brethren the children of Esau, which dwell in Seir; and they shall be afraid of you: take ye good heed unto yourselves therefore:

Meddle not with them; for I will not give you of their land, no, not so much as a foot breadth; because I have given mount Seir unto Esau for a possession.

Ye shall buy meat of them for money, that ye may eat; and ye shall also buy water of them for money, that ye may drink.

For the Lord thy God hath blessed thee in all the works of thy hand: he knoweth thy walking through this great wilderness: these forty years the Lord thy God hath been with thee; thou hast lacked nothing.

And when we passed by from our brethren the children of Esau, which dwelt in Seir, through the way of the plain from Elath, and from Eziongaber, we turned and passed by the way of the wilderness of Moab.

And the Lord said unto me, Distress not the Moabites, neither contend with them in battle: for I will not give thee of their land for a possession; because I have given Ar unto the children of Lot for a possession.

10 The Emims dwelt therein in times past, a people great, and many, and tall, as the Anakims;

11 Which also were accounted giants, as the Anakims; but the Moabites called them Emims.

12 The Horims also dwelt in Seir beforetime; but the children of Esau succeeded them, when they had destroyed them from before them, and dwelt in their stead; as Israel did unto the land of his possession, which the Lord gave unto them.

13 Now rise up, said I, and get you over the brook Zered. And we went over the brook Zered.

14 And the space in which we came from Kadeshbarnea, until we were come over the brook Zered, was thirty and eight years; until all the generation of the men of war were wasted out from among the host, as the Lord sware unto them.

15 For indeed the hand of the Lord was against them, to destroy them from among the host, until they were consumed.

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

17 That the Lord spake unto me, saying,

18 Thou art to pass over through Ar, the coast of Moab, this day:

19 And when thou comest nigh over against the children of Ammon, distress them not, nor meddle with them: for I will not give thee of the land of the children of Ammon any possession; because I have given it unto the children of Lot for a possession.

20 (That also was accounted a land of giants: giants dwelt therein in old time; and the Ammonites call them Zamzummims;

21 A people great, and many, and tall, as the Anakims; but the Lord destroyed them before them; and they succeeded them, and dwelt in their stead:

22 As he did to the children of Esau, which dwelt in Seir, when he destroyed the Horims from before them; and they succeeded them, and dwelt in their stead even unto this day:

23 And the Avims which dwelt in Hazerim, even unto Azzah, the Caphtorims, which came forth out of Caphtor, destroyed them, and dwelt in their stead.)

24 Rise ye up, take your journey, and pass over the river Arnon: behold, I have given into thine hand Sihon the Amorite, king of Heshbon, and his land: begin to possess it, and contend with him in battle.

25 This day will I begin to put the dread of thee and the fear of thee upon the nations that are under the whole heaven, who shall hear report of thee, and shall tremble, and be in anguish because of thee.

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

27 Let me pass through thy land: I will go along by the high way, I will neither turn unto the right hand nor to the left.

28 Thou shalt sell me meat for money, that I may eat; and give me water for money, that I may drink: only I will pass through on my feet;

29 (As the children of Esau which dwell in Seir, and the Moabites which dwell in Ar, did unto me;) until I shall pass over Jordan into the land which the Lord our God giveth us.

30 But Sihon king of Heshbon would not let us pass by him: for the Lord thy God hardened his spirit, and made his heart obstinate, that he might deliver him into thy hand, as appeareth this day.

31 And the Lord said unto me, Behold, I have begun to give Sihon and his land before thee: begin to possess, that thou mayest inherit his land.

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

33 And the Lord our God delivered him before us; and we smote him, and his sons, and all his people.

34 And we took all his cities at that time, and utterly destroyed the men, and the women, and the little ones, of every city, we left none to remain:

35 Only the cattle we took for a prey unto ourselves, and the spoil of the cities which we took.

36 From Aroer, which is by the brink of the river of Arnon, and from the city that is by the river, even unto Gilead, there was not one city too strong for us: the Lord our God delivered all unto us:

37 Only unto the land of the children of Ammon thou camest not, nor unto any place of the river Jabbok, nor unto the cities in the mountains, nor unto whatsoever the Lord our God forbad us.
