Yasa’nın Tekrarı 2

¹Ve dönüp Rabbin bana söylediği gibi, Kızıldeniz yolu boyunca çöle doğru yola çıktık ve Seir Dağının çevresinde uzun günler dolandık.

²Ve Rab bana şöyle dedi:

³Bu dağın çevresinde dolandığınız yeter; artık kuzeye doğru dönün.

⁴Ve halka şöyle buyur: Seirde oturan kardeşleriniz Esav oğullarının sınırlarından geçeceksiniz; onlar sizden korkacaklar ve sizden çok çekinecekler.

⁵Onlarla savaşa girişmeyin; çünkü size onların topraklarından bir ayak adımı bile vermeyeceğim; çünkü Seir Dağını Esav oğullarına miras olarak verdim.

⁶Onlardan gümüş karşılığında yiyecek satın alıp yiyin ve onlardan gümüş karşılığında ölçüyle su alıp için.

⁷Çünkü Tanrımız Rab, ellerinizin bütün işlerinde sizi kutsadı; o büyük ve korkunç çölden nasıl geçtiğinizi aklınızda tutun. İşte, Tanrın Rab kırk yıldır seninledir, hiçbir şeye muhtaç olmadın.

⁸Seirde oturan kardeşlerimiz Esav oğullarının yanından, Elat ve Esyon-Geberden gelen Araba yolundan geçip gittik; ve dönüp Moab çölü yolundan geçtik.

⁹Ve Rab bana dedi ki: Moablılara düşmanlık etmeyin ve onlarla savaşa girişmeyin; çünkü onların topraklarından size miras olarak vermeyeceğim; çünkü Aroeri miras edinmeleri için Lot oğullarına verdim.

¹⁰Daha önce orada, Anaklılar gibi büyük, kalabalık ve güçlü bir ulus olan Omminler otururdu.

¹¹Bunlar da Anaklılar gibi Refaim sayılır; ama Moablılar onlara Ommin derler.

¹²Seirde ise daha önce Horlular otururdu; Esav oğulları onları yok etti, önlerinden silip süpürdü ve Rabbin İsraile verdiği kendi mirası olan toprakta yaptığı gibi, onların yerine yerleşti.

¹³Şimdi kalkın, yola çıkın ve Zaret Vadisinden geçin.

¹⁴Kadeş-Barneadan çıkıp Zaret Vadisini geçene kadar geçen süre otuz sekiz yıldı; ta ki Rabbin onlara ant içtiği gibi, bütün savaşçı erkekler kuşağı ordugahtan ölüp yok olana dek.

¹⁵Rabbin eli de onları ordugahın ortasından tamamen yok edene dek, tükensinler diye üzerlerindeydi.

¹⁶Ve öyle oldu ki, bütün savaşçı erkekler halkın arasından ölüp yok olunca,

¹⁷Rab bana şöyle seslendi:

¹⁸Bugün Moab sınırını, Seiri geçeceksin;

¹⁹ve Ammon oğullarının yakınına geleceksiniz; onlara düşmanlık etmeyin, onlarla savaşa da girişmeyin; çünkü Ammon oğullarının topraklarından sana miras olarak vermeyeceğim; çünkü orayı Lot oğullarına miras olarak verdim.

²⁰Burası da Refaim ülkesi sayılır; çünkü daha önce orada Refaim otururdu ve Ammonlular onlara Zomzommin derlerdi.

²¹Onlar Anaklılar gibi büyük, kalabalık ve sizden daha güçlü bir ulustu; ama Rab onları Ammonluların önünde yok etti, onlar da onların mirasını alıp bugüne dek yerlerine yerleştiler.

²²Seirde oturan Esav oğullarına yaptığı gibi; Horluları önlerinden yok etti, onlar da onların mirasını alıp bugüne dek yerlerine yerleştiler.

²³Ve Gazzeye kadar Asedotta oturan Avileri de Kapadokyadan çıkan Kapadokyalılar yok etti ve onların yerine yerleştiler.

²⁴Şimdi kalkın, yola çıkın ve Arnon Vadisinden geçin; işte, Amorlu Heşbon Kralı Sihonu ve toprağını senin eline teslim ettim; miras edinmeye başla, onunla savaşa giriş.

²⁵Bugün göklerin altındaki bütün ulusların üzerine senin dehşetini ve korkunu salmaya başlayacağım; öyle ki, senin adını duyduklarında önünde sarsılacaklar ve senin yüzünden doğum sancısı çeker gibi kıvranacaklar.

²⁶Ve Kedemot Çölünden Heşbon Kralı Sihona barışçıl sözlerle elçiler gönderip dedim ki:

²⁷Topraklarından geçip gideyim, sadece yoldan gideceğim; ne sağa ne sola sapacağım.

²⁸Bana gümüş karşılığında yiyecek sat, yiyeyim; gümüş karşılığında su ver, içeyim; sadece yürüyerek geçip gideyim.

²⁹Seirde oturan Esav oğullarının ve Aroerde oturan Moablıların bana yaptığı gibi, Tanrımız Rabbin bize vereceği toprağa, Şeria Irmağını geçene kadar buna izin ver.

³⁰Ama Heşbon Kralı Sihon topraklarından geçmemize izin vermek istemedi; çünkü bugün olduğu gibi onu senin eline teslim etmek için Tanrımız Rab onun ruhunu katılaştırdı ve yüreğini dikbaşlı yaptı.

³¹Ve Rab bana dedi ki: İşte, Amorlu Heşbon Kralı Sihonu ve toprağını senin önüne sermeye başladım; onun toprağını miras edinmeye başla.

³²Ve Sihon, kendisi ve bütün halkı, Iassada bizimle savaşmak üzere karşılamaya çıktı.

³³Ve Tanrımız Rab onu önümüze teslim etti; onu, oğullarını ve bütün halkını bozguna uğrattık.

³⁴O sırada onun bütün kentlerini ele geçirdik ve her kenti sırayla, kadınları ve çocuklarıyla birlikte tamamen yok ettik; tek bir canlı ganimet bile bırakmadık.

³⁵Ancak hayvanları kendimize yağma olarak aldık ve ele geçirdiğimiz kentlerin ganimetlerini topladık.

³⁶Arnon Vadisinin kıyısındaki Aroerden ve vadideki kentten Galaad Dağına kadar elimizden kaçabilen tek bir kent bile olmadı; Tanrımız Rab hepsini elimize teslim etti.

³⁷Sadece Ammon oğullarının toprağına, Yabok Vadisi kıyılarına ve dağlık bölgedeki kentlere, Tanrımız Rabbin bize buyurduğu gibi yaklaşmadık.

¹ΚΑΙ ἐπιστραφέντες ἀπῄραμεν εἰς τὴν ἔρημον, ὁδὸν θάλασσαν ἐρυθράν, ὃν τρόπον ἐλάλησε Κύριος πρός με, καὶ ἐκυκλώσαμεν τὸ ὄρος τὸ Σηεὶρ ἡμέρας πολλάς.

²καὶ εἶπε Κύριος πρός με·

³ἱκανούσθω ὑμῖν κυκλοῦν τὸ ὄρος τοῦτο, ἐπιστράφητε οὖν ἐπὶ βορρᾶν·

⁴καὶ τῷ λαῷ ἔντειλαι λέγων· ὑμεῖς παραπορεύεσθε διὰ τῶν ὁρίων τῶν ἀδελφῶν ὑμῶν υἱῶν ῾Ησαῦ, οἳ κατοικοῦσιν ἐν Σηείρ, καὶ φοβηθήσονται ὑμᾶς καὶ εὐλαβηθήσονται ὑμᾶς σφόδρα.

⁵μὴ συνάψητε πρὸς αὐτοὺς πόλεμον· οὐ γὰρ δῶ ὑμῖν ἀπὸ τῆς γῆς αὐτῶν οὐδὲ βῆμα ποδός, ὅτι ἐν κλήρῳ δέδωκα τοῖς υἱοῖς ῾Ησαῦ τὸ ὄρος τὸ Σηείρ.

⁶ἀργυρίου βρώματα ἀγοράσατε παρ᾿ αὐτῶν καὶ φάγεσθε καὶ ὕδωρ μέτρῳ λήψεσθε παρ᾿ αὐτῶν ἀργυρίου καὶ πίεσθε·

⁷ὁ γὰρ Κύριος ὁ Θεὸς ἡμῶν εὐλόγησέ σε ἐν παντὶ ἔργῳ τῶν χειρῶν σου· διάγνωθι πῶς διῆλθες τὴν ἔρημον τὴν μεγάλην καὶ τὴν φοβερὰν ἐκείνην· ἰδοὺ τεσσαράκοντα ἔτη Κύριος ὁ Θεός σου μετὰ σοῦ, οὐκ ἐπεδεήθης ῥήματος.

⁸καὶ παρήλθομεν τοὺς ἀδελφοὺς ἡμῶν υἱοὺς ῾Ησαῦ, τοὺς κατοικοῦντας ἐν Σηεὶρ παρὰ τὴν ὁδὸν τὴν ῎Αραβα ἀπὸ Αἰλὼν καὶ ἀπὸ Γεσιὼν Γάβερκαὶ ἐπιστρέψαντες παρήλθομεν ὁδὸν ἔρημον Μωάβ.

⁹καὶ εἶπε Κύριος πρός με· μὴ ἐχθραίνετετοῖς Μωαβίταις καὶ μὴ συνάψητε πρὸς αὐτοὺς πόλεμον· οὐ γὰρ μὴ δῶ ὑμῖν ἀπὸ τῆς γῆς αὐτῶν ἐν κλήρῳ, τοῖς γὰρ υἱοῖς Λὼτ δέδωκα τὴν ᾿Αροὴρ κληρονομεῖν. (10 οἱ ᾿Ομμὶν πρότεροι ἐνεκάθηντο ἐπ᾿ αὐτῆς ἔθνος μέγα καὶ πολὺ καὶ ἰσχύοντες, ὥσπερ οἱ ᾿Ενακίμ·

¹¹Ῥαφαΐν λογισθήσονται καὶ οὗτοι ὥσπερ καὶ οἱ ᾿Ενακίμ, καὶ οἱ Μωαβῖται ἐπονομάζουσιν αὐτοὺς ᾿Ομμίν.

¹²καὶ ἐν Σηεὶρ ἐνεκάθητο ὁ Χορραῖος τὸ πρότερον, καὶ υἱοὶ ῾Ησαῦ ἀπώλεσαν αὐτοὺς καὶ ἐξέτριψαν αὐτοὺς ἀπὸ προσώπου αὐτῶν καὶ κατῳκίσθησαν ἀντ᾿ αὐτῶν, ὃν τρόπον ἐποίησεν ᾿Ισραὴλ τὴν γῆν τῆς κληρονομίας αὐτοῦ, ἣν δέδωκε Κύριος αὐτοῖς).

¹³νῦν οὖν ἀνάστητε καὶ ἀπάρατε ὑμεῖς καὶ παραπορεύεσθε τὴν φάραγγα Ζαρέτ.

¹⁴καὶ αἱ ἡμέραι, ἃς παρεπορεύθημεν ἀπὸ Κάδης Βαρνὴ ἕως οὗ παρήλθομεν τὴν φάραγγα Ζαρέτ, τριάκοντα καὶ ὀκτὼ ἔτη, ἕως οὗ διέπεσε πᾶσα γενεὰ ἀνδρῶν πολεμιστῶν ἀποθνήσκοντες ἐκ τῆς παρεμβολῆς, καθότι ὤμοσε Κύριος ὁ Θεὸς αὐτοῖς·

¹⁵καὶ ἡ χεὶρ τοῦ Θεοῦ ἦν ἐπ᾿ αὐτοῖς ἐξαναλῶσαι αὐτοὺς ἐκ μέσου τῆς παρεμβολῆς, ἕως οὗ διέπεσαν.

¹⁶καὶ ἐγενήθη ἐπειδὴ ἔπεσαν πάντες οἱ ἄνδρες οἱ πολεμισταὶ ἀποθνήσκοντες ἐκ μέσου τοῦ λαοῦ,

¹⁷καὶ ἐλάλησε Κύριος πρός με λέγων·

¹⁸σὺ παραπορεύσῃ σήμερον τὰ ὅρια Μωὰβ τὴν Σηεὶρ

¹⁹καὶ προσάξετε ἐγγὺς υἱῶν ᾿Αμμάν· μὴ ἐχθραίνετε αὐτοῖς μηδὲ συνάψητε αὐτοῖς εἰς πόλεμον· οὐ γὰρ μὴ δῶ ἀπὸ τῆς γῆς υἱῶν ᾿Αμμάν σοι ἐν κλήρῳ, ὅτι τοῖς υἱοῖς Λὼτ δέδωκα αὐτὴν ἐν κλήρῳ. (20 γῆ Ῥαφαΐν λογισθήσεται· καὶ γὰρ ἐπ᾿ αὐτῆς κατῴκουν οἱ Ῥαφαΐν τὸ πρότερον, καὶ οἱ ᾿Αμμανῖται ἐπονομάζουσιν αὐτοὺς Ζομζομμίν,

²¹ἔθνος μέγα καὶ πολὺ καὶ δυνατώτερον ὑμῶν, ὥσπερ καὶ οἱ ᾿Ενακίμ, καὶ ἀπώλεσεν αὐτοὺς Κύριος πρὸ προσώπου αὐτῶν, καὶ κατεκληρονόμησαν καὶ κατῳκίσθησαν ἀντ᾿ αὐτῶν ἕως τῆς ἡμέρας ταύτης·

²²ὥσπερ ἐποίησαν τοῖς υἱοῖς ῾Ησαῦ κατοικοῦσιν ἐν Σηείρ, ὃν τρόπον ἐξέτριψαν τὸν Χορραῖον ἀπὸ προσώπου αὐτῶν καὶ κατεκληρονόμησαν αὐτοὺς καὶ κατῳκίσθησαν ἀντ᾿ αὐτῶν ἕως τῆς ἡμέρας ταύτης·

²³καὶ οἱ Εὐαῖοι οἱ κατοικοῦντες ἐν ᾿Ασηδὼθ ἕως Γάζης, καὶ οἱ Καππάδοκες οἱ ἐξελθόντες ἐκ Καππαδοκίας ἐξέτριψαν αὐτοὺς καὶ κατῳκίσθησαν ἀντ᾿ αὐτῶν).

²⁴νῦν οὖν ἀνάστητε καὶ ἀπάρατε καὶ παρέλθατε ὑμεῖς τὴν φάραγγα ᾿Αρνῶν· ἰδοὺ παραδέδωκα εἰς τὰς χεῖράς σου τὸν Σηὼν βασιλέα ᾿Εσεβὼν τὸν ᾿Αμορραῖον καὶ τὴν γῆν αὐτοῦ· ἐνάρχου κληρονομεῖν, σύναπτε πρὸς αὐτὸν πόλεμον.

²⁵ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ταύτῃ ἐνάρχου δοῦναι τὸν τρόμον σου καὶ τὸν φόβον σου ἐπὶ προσώπου πάντων τῶν ἐθνῶν τῶν ὑποκάτω τοῦ οὐρανοῦ, οἵτινες ἀκούσαντες τὸ ὄνομά σου ταραχθήσονται καὶ ὠδῖνας ἕξουσιν ἀπὸ προσώπου σου.

²⁶Καὶ ἀπέστειλα πρέσβεις ἐκ τῆς ἐρήμου Κεδαμὼθ πρὸς Σηὼν βασιλέα ᾿Εσεβὼν λόγοις εἰρηνικοῖς λέγων·

²⁷παρελεύσομαι διὰ τῆς γῆς σου, ἐν τῇ ὁδῷ πορεύσομαι, οὐκ ἐκκλινῶ δεξιὰ οὐδ᾿ ἀριστερά·

²⁸βρώματα ἀργυρίου ἀποδώσῃ μοι, καὶ φάγομαι, καὶ ὕδωρ ἀργυρίου ἀποδώσῃ μοι, καὶ πίομαι· πλὴν ὅτι παρελεύσομαι τοῖς ποσί,

²⁹καθὼς ἐποίησάν μοι οἱ υἱοὶ ῾Ησαῦ οἱ κατοικοῦντες ἐν Σηεὶρ καὶ οἱ Μωαβῖται οἱ κατοικοῦντες ἐν ᾿Αροήρ, ἕως ἂν παρέλθω τὸν ᾿Ιορδάνην εἰς τὴν γῆν, ἣν Κύριος ὁ Θεὸς ἡμῶν δίδωσιν ἡμῖν.

³⁰καὶ οὐκ ἠθέλησε Σηὼν βασιλεὺς ᾿Εσεβὼν παρελθεῖν ἡμᾶς δι᾿ αὐτοῦ, ὅτι ἐσκλήρυνε Κύριος ὁ Θεὸς ἡμῶν τὸ πνεῦμα αὐτοῦ καὶ κατίσχυσε τὴν καρδίαν αὐτοῦ, ἵνα παραδοθῇ εἰς τὰς χεῖράς σου ὡς ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ταύτῃ.

³¹καὶ εἶπε Κύριος πρός με· ἰδοὺ ἦργμαι παραδοῦναι πρὸ προσώπου σου τὸν Σηὼν βασιλέα ᾿Εσεβὼν τὸν ᾿Αμορραῖον καὶ τὴν γῆν αὐτοῦ· ἔναρξαι κληρονομῆσαι τὴν γῆν αὐτοῦ.

³²καὶ ἐξῆλθε Σηὼν βασιλεὺς ᾿Εσεβὼν εἰς συνάντησιν ἡμῖν, αὐτὸς καὶ πᾶς ὁ λαὸς αὐτοῦ, εἰς πόλεμον εἰς ᾿Ιασσά.

³³καὶ παρέδωκεν αὐτὸν Κύριος ὁ Θεὸς ἡμῶν πρὸ προσώπου ἡμῶν, καὶ ἐπατάξαμεν αὐτὸν καὶ τοὺς υἱοὺς αὐτοῦ καὶ πάντα τὸν λαὸν αὐτοῦ·

³⁴καὶ ἐκρατήσαμεν πασῶν τῶν πόλεων αὐτοῦ ἐν τῷ καιρῷ ἐκείνῳ καὶ ἐξωλοθρεύσαμεν πᾶσαν πόλιν ἑξῆς, καὶ τὰς γυναῖκας αὐτῶν καὶ τὰ τέκνα αὐτῶν, οὐ κατελίπομεν ζωγρείαν·

³⁵πλὴν τὰ κτήνη ἐπρονομεύσαμεν καὶ τὰ σκῦλα τῶν πόλεων ἐλάβομεν.

³⁶ἐξ ᾿Αροήρ, ἥ ἐστι παρὰ τὸ χεῖλος χειμάρρου ᾿Αρνῶν, καὶ τὴν πόλιν τὴν οὖσαν ἐν τῇ φάραγγι καὶ ἕως ὄρους τοῦ Γαλαὰδ οὐκ ἐγενήθη πόλις, ἥτις διέφυγεν ἡμᾶς, τὰς πάσας παρέδωκε Κύριος ὁ Θεὸς ἡμῶν εἰς τὰς χεῖρας ἡμῶν·

³⁷πλὴν ἐγγὺς υἱῶν ᾿Αμμὰν οὐ προσήλθομεν, πάντα τὰ συγκυροῦντα χειμάρρου ᾿Ιαβὸκ καὶ τάς πόλεις τὰς ἐν τῇ ὀρεινῇ, καθότι ἐνετείλατο Κύριος ὁ Θεὸς ἡμῶν ἡμῖν.

¹And we turned and departed into the wilderness, by the way of the Red Sea, as the Lord spoke to me, and we compassed mount Seir many days.

²And the Lord said to me,

³Ye have compassed this mount long enough; turn therefore toward the north.

⁴And charge the people, saying, Ye are going through the borders of your brethren the children of Esau, who dwell in Seir; and they shall fear you, and dread you greatly.

⁵Do not engage in war against them, for I will not give you of their land even enough to set your foot upon, for I have given mount Seir to the children of Esau as an inheritance.

⁶Buy food of them for money and eat, and ye shall receive water of them by measure for money, and drink.

⁷For the Lord our God has blessed thee in every work of thy hands. Consider how thou wentest through that great and terrible wilderness: behold, the Lord thy God [has been] with thee forty years; thou didst not lack any thing.

⁸And we passed by our brethren the children of Esau, who dwelt in Seir, by the way of Araba from Aelon and from Gesion Gaber; and we turned and passed by the way of the desert of Moab.

⁹And the Lord said to me, Do not ye quarrel with the Moabites, and do not engage in war with them; for I will not give you of their land for an inheritance, for I have given Aroer to the children of Lot to inherit.

¹⁰Formerly the Ommin dwelt in it, a great and numerous nation and powerful, like the Enakim.

¹¹These also shall be accounted Raphain like the Enakim; and the Moabites call them Ommin.

¹²And the Chorrhite dwelt in Seir before, and the sons of Esau destroyed them, and utterly consumed them from before them; and they dwelt in their place, as Israel did to the land of his inheritance, which the Lord gave to them.

¹³Now then, arise ye, [said I], and depart, and cross the valley of Zaret.

¹⁴And the days in which we traveled from Cades Barne till we crossed the valley of Zaret, [were] thirty and eight years, until the whole generation of the men of war failed, dying out of the camp, as the Lord God sware to them.

¹⁵And the hand of the Lord was upon them to destroy them out of the midst of the camp, until they were consumed.

¹⁶And it came to pass when all the men of war dying out of the midst of the people had fallen,

¹⁷that the Lord spoke to me, saying,

¹⁸Thou shalt pass over this day the borders of Moab to Aroer;

¹⁹and ye shall draw nigh to the children of Amman: do not quarrel with them, nor wage war with them; for I will not give thee of the land of the children of Amman for an inheritance, because I have given it to the children of Lot for an inheritance.

²⁰It shall be accounted a land of Raphain, for the Raphain dwelt there before, and the Ammanites call them Zochommin.

²¹A great nation and populous, and mightier than you, as also the Enakim: yet the Lord destroyed them from before them, and they inherited [their land], and they dwelt [there] instead of them until this day.

²²As they did to the children of Esau that dwell in Seir, even as they destroyed the Chorrhite from before them, and inherited their country, and dwelt [therein] instead of them until this day.

²³And the Evites who dwell in Asedoth to Gaza, and the Cappadocians who came out of Cappadocia, destroyed them, and dwelt in their room.

²⁴Now then arise and depart, and pass over the valley of Arnon: behold, I have delivered into thy hands Seon the king of Esebon the Amorite, and his land: begin to inherit [it]: engage in war with him this day.

²⁵Begin to put thy terror and thy fear on the face of all the nations under heaven, who shall be troubled when they have heard thy name, and shall be in anguish before thee.

²⁶And I sent ambassadors from the wilderness of Kedamoth to Seon king of Esebon with peaceable words, saying,

²⁷I will pass through thy land: I will go by the road, I will not turn aside to the right hand or to the left.

²⁸Thou shalt give me food for money, and I will eat; and thou shalt give me water for money, and I will drink; I will only go through on my feet:

²⁹as the sons of Esau did to me, who dwelt in Seir, and the Moabites who dwelt in Aroer, until I shall have passed Jordan into the land which the Lord our God gives us.

³⁰And Seon king of Esebon would not that we should pass by him, because the Lord our God hardened his spirit, and made his heart stubborn, that he might be delivered into thy hands, as on this day.

³¹And the Lord said to me, Behold, I have begun to deliver before thee Seon the king of Esebon the Amorite, and his land, and do thou begin to inherit his land.

³²And Seon the king of Esebon came forth to meet us, he and all his people to war at Jassa.

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

³⁴And we took possession of all his cities at that time, and we utterly destroyed every city in succession, and their wives, and their children; we left no living prey.

³⁵Only we took the cattle captive, and took the spoil of the cities.

³⁶From Aroer, which is by the brink of the brook of Arnon, and the city which is in the valley, and as far as the mount of Galaad; there was not a city which escaped us: the Lord our God delivered all of them into our hands.

³⁷Only we did not draw near to the children of Amman, even all the parts bordering on the brook Jaboc, and the cities in the mountain country, as the Lord our God charged us.
