昔彼未至斯土、亞摩哩人居之、高若柏香木、強為橡樹、我剝其果、絕其根、盡歸殲滅、

我從以色列人面前除滅亞摩利人。他雖高大如香柏樹，堅固如橡樹，我卻上滅他的果子，下絕他的根本。

「我從他們面前除滅亞摩利人；他雖高大如香柏樹，強壯如橡樹，我卻上滅其果，下絕其根。

「我從他們面前除滅亞摩利人；他雖高大如香柏樹，強壯如橡樹，我卻上滅其果，下絕其根。

我不是在他們面前把亞摩利人消滅了嗎？亞摩利人雖像香柏樹高大，像橡樹那樣堅固；我卻要滅絕它樹上的果子，拔除樹下的根。

『然而卻是我從以色列人面前剿滅了亞摩利人的；亞摩利人雖如香柏樹那麼高大，雖如橡樹那麼強健，卻是我去上滅了他的果子，下絕了他的根的。

昔我滅亞摩利人於爾前、其人高若香柏、強如橡樹、我上滅其果、下絕其根、

昔有亞摩利人、高若柏香木、強如橡樹、我翦滅之於以色列人前、上剝其果、下毀其根、

“ Yet I destroyed the Amorites before them, though they were tall as the cedars and strong as the oaks. I destroyed their fruit above and their roots below.

“ Yet I destroyed the Amorites to make room in the land for my people. The Amorites were as tall as cedar trees. They were as strong as oak trees. But I cut off their fruit above the ground and their roots below it.

譬諸林木、本實既撥、枝葉自枯。

萬有之主耶和華曰、降災之日伊邇、必爇若爐、驕侈之輩、作惡之流、有若蒭蕘、屆期必燬之、使其根株、靡有孑遺、

越至四世、爾之苗裔、將歸斯土、蓋亞摩哩人罪未貫盈。

西宏不許、乃集厥民、往於曠野、至雅哈斯、與以色列族戰。以色列族擊之、據有其地、自亞嫩至雅泊溪、即亞捫族之地、蓋亞捫族地甚為險固。亞摩哩人之邑希實本、及其四周之鄉里、以色列族悉取之、居處其中。

今日所諭、爾必守之、我將驅亞摩哩人、迦南人、赫人、比哩洗人、希未人、耶布士人於爾前、

遂讒言於以色列族中曰、我所窺察之地、居民受其害、我所見之人、軀幹雄偉、在彼見偉丈夫、亞納子、我自較之、形猶蟿蟲、彼之視我亦若是。

耶和華亦諭我曰、爾起遄征、渡亞嫩河、我以亞摩哩王西宏、付於爾手、其都在希實本、汝可與戰、而得其地、天下邦國、既聞爾名、我必使之畏爾、戰慄悚惶。○時在基底莫野、我遣人至希實本、以善言告其王西宏曰、爾盍容我經爾地、我必由大道、不偏於左、不偏於右、我所食之糧、所飲之水、市之以金、第容我徒行、以過爾境、渡約但河、至我上帝耶和華賜我之地。昔以掃後裔、居於西耳、摩押人民、居於亞耳、所行俱亦如是。時我上帝耶和華聽希實本王西宏剛愎厥心、不容我過其地、為我所敗、以今日之事為證。蓋耶和華曾諭我曰、我以西宏及其地、畀於爾手、汝可得之、據有其地。西宏率眾而出、至雅哈斯與我戰。我之上帝耶和華、以西宏王、及王子臣民、悉付於我、為我所敗、

哩乏音族所存者、惟巴山王噩、其床以鐵為之、長九尺、廣四尺、布肘為度、今在亞捫人之喇巴有之。

以色列族、尚其聽之、今日爾渡約但、有較爾強大之民、其城垣廣大、高可參天、爾將得之。彼為亞納後裔、軀幹雄偉、爾不聞諺云、孰能敵亞納人乎。爾今當知、爾之上帝耶和華、如火之燎、為爾先導、覆滅爾敵、使爾驅逐之、敗亡之、其事甚速、應其前言。

雖然、居民強悍、城垣廣大、我見亞納子於彼。亞馬力族居南方、赫人、耶布士人、亞摩哩人居山、迦南人瀕海與約但河居焉。

擊強國、戮大王兮、亞摩哩王西宏、巴山王噩、及迦南列國之王、亦就戮兮。以其地賜選民以色列族為業兮、

我降臨以拯之、脫於埃及人手、導出其境、以詣至腴至廣之地、其地產乳與蜜、即迦南人、赫人、亞摩哩人、比哩洗人、希未人、耶布士人所處者。

以色列族之上帝耶和華、以西宏及其人民付於以色列族手、使之攻擊、據有其地。得亞摩哩境、自亞嫩至雅泊、自曠野至約但。是則使民得亞摩哩人之地者、乃以色列族之上帝耶和華也、爾豈能得斯土乎。

擊有能之君、矜憫恆懷兮、戮盛名之王、矜憫恆懷兮、殺亞摩哩王西宏矜憫恆懷兮、滅巴山王噩、矜憫恆懷兮、以其地為業、矜憫恆懷兮。賜其僕以色列族、矜憫恆懷兮、

傑士三人、入非利士人之軍旅、馳突而過、至伯利恆邑門之井、汲水攜至、大闢不飲、乃灌於耶和華前、曰、耶和華歟、彼冒死不顧、此水可儗其血、安忍飲之乎。故不飲。三傑所為、大率類此。西魯雅子、約押弟、亞庇篩、在次三傑中為魁、持戈殺三百人、故在三傑中夙著名譽、勇冠三傑、故為其魁、惟不得與首三傑抗衡並列。甲泄地有巨富者、耶何耶大、其子庇拿雅勇毅非常、殺摩押之豪傑二人、又當飛雪之時、下阱殺獅、又殺埃及壯士、埃及人執戈、庇拿雅執杖以迎、奪其戈而殺之。耶何耶大子庇拿雅作此、在次三傑中、可列其名、

欲使爾知永生上帝左右爾、必於爾前驅逐迦南人、赫人、希未人、比哩洗人、革迦撒人、亞摩哩人、耶布士人。

我導爾至約但東、亞摩哩人地、彼與爾戰、我付之爾手、滅於爾前、據有其地。時摩押王、西撥子巴勒攻以色列族、召庇耳子巴蘭、使咒詛爾。我不許巴蘭咒詛、反使祝福、故爾得脫。爾渡約但至耶利哥、耶利哥人與亞摩哩人、比哩洗人、迦南人、赫人、革加西人、希未人、耶布士人、攻爾、我付之爾手。我使大蜂驅亞摩哩二王於爾前、不藉爾刃爾弓。

我同儕使我喪膽、言斯土之民較我軀幹雄偉、城垣廣大、高可參天、在彼有亞納子、我何能往。

昔以米人居彼、斯民眾多、軀幹雄偉、如亞納人然、或稱之為哩乏音、惟摩押人稱之為以米。

爾以邦國四境、分賜於民、遂據西宏之地、乃希實本王之國、巴山王噩之邦、斯民之苗裔、爾使之繁衍、如天星眾多、昔爾以土地許錫列祖、後導其子孫入焉、據而有之、迦南人居斯土、爾使民敗之、虜其君臣、惟所欲為。

爾當傳我耶和華之命、曰、斯葡萄豈得枝繁葉盛、鷹將拔其根、所發之枝必槁、毋庸巨邦眾民、刪其根株、

耶和華既使以色列族敗亞摩哩人、約書亞即於以色列族前、禱耶和華曰、日勿運行於基遍、月必暫止於亞耶倫谷。

是時約書亞翦滅山中之亞納人、即猶大山以色列山之希伯崙、底必、亞拿伯、約書亞盡滅其邑與眾。亞納人在以色列地無遺種、惟於迦薩、迦特、亞實突有之。

耶和華萬有之真宰、以色列族之聖主、定律例、立法度、彼蔑棄之、藐視之、故必敗亡、若火之燬稈、若燄之燃蒭、本實必撥、花蕊必謝、
