(承上)亚摩利人凿洞藏在里头,说:以色列过这里的时候,我们要杀他们。他们却不知约柜行在以色列前头,为他们把山削平。约柜一到,两山相合,把他们轧死了,血流到亚嫩谷。厄特与赫伯到时看见山间流出的血,就回去告诉以色列;以色列就唱歌称颂,正如经上所记(民数记 21:15)。
-
为自己凿了洞,藏在里头。
and prepared caves for themselves and they hid in them.
-
他们说:以色列从这里经过的时候,我们要杀他们。
They said: When Israel passes here we will kill them.
-
他们却不知道:约柜行在以色列人前头,为他们把山削平。
And they did not know that the Ark of the Covenant preceded the children of Israel and would flatten mountains before them.
-
约柜一到,那两边的山就彼此相合,把他们轧死了;他们的血流下去,直流到亚嫩的谷。
When the Ark came, the mountains adhered one to another and killed them; and their blood flowed down to the streams of Arnon.
-
及至那两个长大麻风的厄特与赫伯到了,看见从两山之间流出来的血,就回去把所发生的告诉以色列人。
When Et and Hev, the lepers, arrived, they saw the blood that was emerging from between the mountains, and they came and told Israel what had happened.
-
以色列人就唱歌称颂,正如经上所说:「并向亚珥城众谷的下坡,是靠近摩押的边界」(民数记 21:15)。
Israel recited a song of praise, as it is stated: “And at the cascade of the brooks that goes down to the dwelling of Ar, and lies upon the border of Moab” (Numbers 21:15).
-
这说的正是那众谷的下坡——那本是谷的山,如今朝着摩押亚珥城那边的山铺展开去了。
This refers to the cascade of the brooks where the mountain, which had once been a valley, spread out in the direction of the mountain in Ar, in Moab.
