Deuteronomio 2
Magandang Balita Biblia
2 Tulad(A) ng utos sa akin ni Yahweh, nagbalik tayo sa ilang, tungo sa Dagat na Pula.[a] Matagal din tayong naglakbay sa kaburulan ng Seir.
2 “Pagkatapos, sinabi sa akin ni Yahweh, 3 ‘Matagal na rin kayong nagpapaikut-ikot sa kaburulang ito. Ngayon, lumakad na kayo papuntang hilaga. 4 Dadaan(B) kayo sa Seir, ang lupain ng mga kamag-anak ninyo, ang lahi ni Esau. Takot sila sa inyo ngunit mag-ingat pa rin kayo. 5 Huwag ninyo silang kakalabanin sapagkat kapiraso man ng lupain nila'y hindi ko ibibigay sa inyo. Ibinigay ko na sa lahi ni Esau ang kaburulan ng Seir. 6 Bibilhin ninyo ang pagkain at inuming kukunin ninyo sa kanila.’
7 “Pinagpala kayo ni Yahweh sa lahat ng inyong ginawa, at hindi niya kayo hiniwalayan sa inyong paglalakbay sa ilang. Sa loob ng apatnapung taon, hindi kayo nagkulang sa anumang bagay.
8 “Kaya dumaan lamang tayo sa kanilang lupain at nagpatuloy sa paglalakbay palayo sa Araba, Elat at Ezion-geber. At tayo ay napunta sa ilang ng Moab.
9 “At(C) sinabi sa akin ni Yahweh, ‘Huwag rin ninyong guguluhin o sasalakayin ang mga Moabita sapagkat kapiraso man ng lupain nila ay hindi ko ibibigay sa inyo. Ang lupain ng Ar ay ibinigay ko na sa lahi ni Lot.’”
(10 Ang dating nakatira roon ay ang mga Emita. Marami sila at malalaki ring tulad ng mga higante. 11 Tulad ng mga higante, kilala rin sila sa tawag na Refaim, ngunit Emita ang tawag sa kanila ng mga Moabita. 12 Dati, nakatira rin sa Seir ang mga taga-Hor, ngunit pinuksa sila ng mga anak ni Esau, at sila ang nanirahan roon, tulad ng ginawa ng mga Israelita sa lupaing ibinigay sa kanila ni Yahweh.)
13 “‘Ngayon nga'y magpatuloy kayo; tumawid kayo sa batis ng Zared.’ At ganoon nga ang ginawa natin. 14 Tatlumpu't(D) walong taon ang nakalipas mula nang umalis tayo sa Kades-barnea hanggang sa pagtawid natin sa Zared. Tulad ng isinumpa ni Yahweh, walang natira sa mga mandirigma ng salinlahing iyon. 15 Patuloy silang nilabanan ni Yahweh hanggang malipol silang lahat.
16 “Nang wala na ngang natitira sa mga mandirigma ng lahing iyon, 17 sinabi sa akin ni Yahweh, 18 ‘Ngayon ay tumawid kayo sa Ar, sa hangganan ng Moab. 19 Pagdaan(E) ninyo sa lupain ng mga anak ni Ammon, huwag ninyo silang guguluhin o didigmain sapagkat kapiraso man ng lupa nila'y hindi ko ibibigay sa inyo. Ibinigay ko na iyon sa mga anak ni Lot.’”
(20 Ang lupaing iyon ay dating sakop ng mga Refaim, na ang tawag ng mga Ammonita ay Zamzumim. 21 Marami rin sila at malalaking tulad ng mga higante. Ngunit pinuksa sila ni Yahweh; kaya't itinaboy sila ng mga Ammonita upang ang mga ito ang tumira roon. 22 Gayundin ang ginawa ni Yahweh sa lahi ni Esau nang ang mga ito'y magpunta sa Seir; itinaboy niya ang mga taga-Hor at ang lahi ni Esau ang nanirahan roon. 23 Ang mga taga-Awim naman sa Gaza ay itinaboy ng mga taga-Caftor at sila ang tumira roon.)
24 “At doon ay sinabi ni Yahweh, ‘Magpatuloy kayo; tumawid kayo sa Ilog Arnon. Mabibihag ninyo si Sihon, ang hari ng mga Amoreo sa Hesbon, at masasakop ninyo ang kanyang lupain. Kaya't simulan na ninyo ang pagsakop sa lupain niya. 25 Dahil sa gagawin ko ay matatakot sa inyo ang lahat ng bansa sa daigdig. Mabanggit lamang kayo'y manginginig na sila sa takot.’
Nalupig ng Israel si Haring Sihon(F)
26 “At mula sa ilang ng Kedemot, nagpadala ako ng sugo kay Haring Sihon na taga-Hesbon upang mag-alok ng kapayapaan: 27 ‘Makikiraan kami sa iyong lupain. Hindi kami lilihis ng daan. 28 Babayaran namin ang aming kakainin at iinumin. Kung maaari'y paraanin mo lang kami 29 tulad ng ginawa ng mga anak ni Esau sa Seir at ng mga Moabita sa Ar. Makikiraan lamang kami para makarating sa kabila ng Jordan, sa lupaing ibinigay sa amin ni Yahweh, na aming Diyos.’
30 “Ngunit hindi niya ito pinahintulutan. Siya'y pinagmatigas ni Yahweh para matalo natin at makuha ang kanyang lupain na hanggang ngayon ay sakop natin.
31 “At sinabi sa akin ni Yahweh, ‘Ito na ang simula ng pagbagsak ng kaharian ni Haring Sihon sa inyong mga kamay; sakupin na ninyo ang kanyang lupain.’ 32 Sinalakay tayo ni Sihon at ng lahat ng kanyang mga tauhan sa Jahaz. 33 Ngunit siya at ang kanyang mga tauhan ay natalo natin sa tulong ni Yahweh. 34 Nasakop natin ang kanyang mga lunsod; giniba natin ang mga ito at walang itinirang buháy isa man sa mga tagaroon. 35 Ang kanilang mga hayop at ari-arian ay sinamsam natin. 36 Walang lunsod na hindi natin napasok, mula sa Aroer hanggang Gilead; lahat ay nasakop natin sa tulong ni Yahweh. 37 Ngunit hindi natin ginalaw ang lupain ng lahi ni Ammon, ang baybayin ng Ilog Jabok, at ang kaburulan, sapagkat iyon ang kabilin-bilinan ni Yahweh na ating Diyos.

Deuteronomy 2
New King James Version
The Desert Years
2 “Then we turned and (A)journeyed into the wilderness of the Way of the Red Sea, (B)as the Lord spoke to me, and we [a]skirted Mount Seir for many days.
2 “And the Lord spoke to me, saying: 3 ‘You have skirted this mountain (C)long enough; turn northward. 4 And command the people, saying, (D)“You are about to pass through the territory of (E)your brethren, the descendants of Esau, who live in Seir; and they will be afraid of you. Therefore watch yourselves carefully. 5 Do not meddle with them, for I will not give you any of their land, no, not so much as one footstep, (F)because I have given Mount Seir to Esau as a possession. 6 You shall buy food from them with money, that you may eat; and you shall also buy water from them with money, that you may drink.
7 “For the Lord your God has blessed you in all the work of your hand. He knows your [b]trudging through this great wilderness. (G)These forty years the Lord your God has been with you; you have lacked nothing.” ’
8 “And when we passed beyond our brethren, the descendants of Esau who dwell in Seir, away from the road of the plain, away from (H)Elath and Ezion Geber, we (I)turned and passed by way of the Wilderness of Moab. 9 Then the Lord said to me, ‘Do not harass Moab, nor contend with them in battle, for I will not give you any of their land as a possession, because I have given (J)Ar to (K)the descendants of Lot as a possession.’ ”
10 (L)(The Emim had dwelt there in times past, a people as great and numerous and tall as (M)the Anakim. 11 They were also regarded as [c]giants, like the Anakim, but the Moabites call them Emim. 12 (N)The Horites formerly dwelt in Seir, but the descendants of Esau dispossessed them and destroyed them from before them, and dwelt in their [d]place, just as Israel did to the land of their possession which the Lord gave them.)
13 “ ‘Now rise and cross over (O)the [e]Valley of the Zered.’ So we crossed over the Valley of the Zered. 14 And the time we took to come (P)from Kadesh Barnea until we crossed over the Valley of the Zered was thirty-eight years, (Q)until all the generation of the men of war [f]was consumed from the midst of the camp, (R)just as the Lord had sworn to them. 15 For indeed the hand of the Lord was against them, to destroy them from the midst of the camp until they [g]were consumed.
16 “So it was, when all the men of war had finally perished from among the people, 17 that the Lord spoke to me, saying: 18 ‘This day you are to cross over at Ar, the boundary of Moab. 19 And when you come near the people of Ammon, do not harass them or meddle with them, for I will not give you any of the land of the people of Ammon as a possession, because I have given it to (S)the descendants of Lot as a possession.’ ”
20 (That was also regarded as a land of [h]giants; giants formerly dwelt there. But the Ammonites call them (T)Zamzummim, 21 (U)a people as great and numerous and tall as the Anakim. But the Lord destroyed them before them, and they dispossessed them and dwelt in their place, 22 just as He had done for the descendants of Esau, (V)who dwelt in Seir, when He destroyed (W)the Horites from before them. They dispossessed them and dwelt in their place, even to this day. 23 And (X)the Avim, who dwelt in villages as far as Gaza—(Y)the Caphtorim, who came from Caphtor, destroyed them and dwelt in their place.)
24 “ ‘Rise, take your journey, and (Z)cross over the River Arnon. Look, I have given into your hand (AA)Sihon the Amorite, king of Heshbon, and his land. Begin [i]to possess it, and engage him in battle. 25 (AB)This day I will begin to put the dread and fear of you upon the nations [j]under the whole heaven, who shall hear the report of you, and shall (AC)tremble and be in anguish because of you.’
King Sihon Defeated(AD)
26 “And I (AE)sent messengers from the Wilderness of Kedemoth to Sihon king of Heshbon, (AF)with words of peace, saying, 27 (AG)‘Let me pass through your land; I will keep strictly to the road, and I will turn neither to the right nor to the left. 28 You shall sell me food for money, that I may eat, and give me water for money, that I may drink; (AH)only let me pass through on foot, 29 (AI)just as the descendants of Esau who dwell in Seir and the Moabites who dwell in Ar did for me, until I cross the Jordan to the land which the Lord our God is giving us.’
30 (AJ)“But Sihon king of Heshbon would not let us pass through, for (AK)the Lord your God (AL)hardened his spirit and made his heart obstinate, that He might deliver him into your hand, as it is this day.
31 “And the Lord said to me, ‘See, I have begun to (AM)give Sihon and his land over to you. Begin to possess it, that you may inherit his land.’ 32 (AN)Then Sihon and all his people came out against us to fight at Jahaz. 33 And (AO)the Lord our God delivered him [k]over to us; so (AP)we defeated him, his sons, and all his people. 34 We took all his cities at that time, and we (AQ)utterly destroyed the men, women, and little ones of every city; we left none remaining. 35 We took only the livestock as plunder for ourselves, with the spoil of the cities which we took. 36 (AR)From Aroer, which is on the bank of the River Arnon, and from (AS)the city that is in the ravine, as far as Gilead, there was not one city too strong for us; (AT)the Lord our God delivered all to us. 37 Only you did not go near the land of the people of Ammon—anywhere along the River (AU)Jabbok, or to the cities of the mountains, or (AV)wherever the Lord our God had forbidden us.
