42.「耶和華吩咐我說:『你對他們說:不要上去,也不要爭戰;因為我不在你們中間,恐怕你們被仇敵殺敗了。』
But the LORD said to me, 「Tell them, 『Do not go up and fight, because I will not be with you. You will be defeated by your enemies.』」
43.我就告訴了你們,你們卻不聽從,竟違背耶和華的命令,擅自上山地去了。
So I told you, but you would not listen. You rebelled against the LORD’s command and in your arrogance you marched up into the hill country.
44.住那山地的亞摩利人就出來攻擊你們,追趕你們,如蜂擁一般,在西珥殺退你們,直到何珥瑪。
The Amorites who lived in those hills came out against you; they chased you like a swarm of bees and beat you down from Seir all the way to Hormah.
45.你們便回來,在耶和華面前哭號;耶和華卻不聽你們的聲音,也不向你們側耳。
You came back and wept before the LORD, but he paid no attention to your weeping and turned a deaf ear to you.
46.於是你們在加低斯住了許多日子。
And so you stayed in Kadesh many days—all the time you spent there.
