- 這希實本是亞摩利王西宏的京城.西宏曾與摩押的先王爭戰、從他手中奪取了全地直到亞嫩河。
- 所以那些作詩歌的說、你們來到希實本.願西宏的城被修造、被建立。
- 因為有火從希實本發出、有火焰出於西宏的城、燒盡摩押的亞珥和亞嫩河邱壇的祭司〔祭司原文作主〕。
- 摩押阿、你有禍了。基抹的民哪、你們滅亡了.基抹的男子逃奔、女子被擄、交付亞摩利的王西宏。
- 我們射了他們、希實本直到底本盡皆毀滅.我們使地變成荒場直到挪法、這挪法直延到米底巴。

- For Heshbon was the city of Sihon, king of the Amorites, who had fought against the former king of Moab and had taken all his land out of his hand, as far as the Arnon.
- Therefore those who use proverbs say, "Come to Heshbon! Let it be built! So let the city of Sihon be established.
- "For a fire went forth from Heshbon, A flame from the town of Sihon; It devoured Ar of Moab, The dominant heights of the Arnon.
- "Woe to you, O Moab! You are ruined, O people of Chemosh! He has given his sons as fugitives, And his daughters into captivity, To an Amorite king, Sihon.
- "But we have cast them down, Heshbon is ruined as far as Dibon, Then we have laid waste even to Nophah, Which reaches to Medeba."
