【DEUTERONOMY 4】申命记
摩西劝百姓遵行耶和华的律例、典章
1 “以色列人哪，现在我所教训你们的律例、典章，你们要听从遵行，好叫你们存活，得以进入耶和华你们列祖之 神所赐给你们的地，承受为业。
Hear now, O Israel, the decrees and laws I am about to teach you. Follow them so that you may live and may go in and take possession of the land that the LORD, the God of your fathers, is giving you.
2 所吩咐你们的话，你们不可加添，也不可删减，好叫你们遵守我所吩咐的，就是耶和华你们 神的命令。
Do not add to what I command you and do not subtract from it, but keep the commands of the LORD your God that I give you.
3 耶和华因巴力毗珥的事所行的，你们亲眼看见了。凡随从巴力毗珥的人，耶和华你们的 神都从你们中间除灭了。
You saw with your own eyes what the LORD did at Baal Peor. The LORD your God destroyed from among you everyone who followed the Baal of Peor,
4 惟有你们专靠耶和华你们 神的人，今日全都存活。
but all of you who held fast to the LORD your God are still alive today.
5 我照着耶和华我 神所吩咐的，将律例、典章教训你们，使你们在所要进去得为业的地上遵行。
See, I have taught you decrees and laws as the LORD my God commanded me, so that you may follow them in the land you are entering to take possession of it.
6 所以你们要谨守遵行，这就是你们在万民眼前的智慧、聪明。他们听见这一切律例，必说：‘这大国的人真是有智慧、有聪明。’
Observe them carefully, for this will show your wisdom and understanding to the nations, who will hear about all these decrees and say, "Surely this great nation is a wise and understanding people."
7 哪一大国的人有神与他们相近，像耶和华我们的 神、在我们求告他的时候与我们相近呢？
What other nation is so great as to have their gods near them the way the LORD our God is near us whenever we pray to him?
8 又哪一大国有这样公义的律例、典章，像我今日在你们面前所陈明的这一切律法呢？”
And what other nation is so great as to have such righteous decrees and laws as this body of laws I am setting before you today?
9 “你只要谨慎，殷勤保守你的心灵，免得忘记你亲眼所看见的事，又免得你一生这事离开你的心，总要传给你的子子孙孙。
Only be careful, and watch yourselves closely so that you do not forget the things your eyes have seen or let them slip from your heart as long as you live. Teach them to your children and to their children after them.
10 你在何烈山站在耶和华你 神面前的那日，耶和华对我说：‘你为我招聚百姓，我要叫他们听见我的话，使他们存活在世的日子，可以学习敬畏我，又可以教训儿女这样行。’
Remember the day you stood before the LORD your God at Horeb, when he said to me, "Assemble the people before me to hear my words so that they may learn to revere me as long as they live in the land and may teach them to their children."
11 那时你们近前来，站在山下，山上有火焰冲天，并有昏黑、密云、幽暗。
You came near and stood at the foot of the mountain while it blazed with fire to the very heavens, with black clouds and deep darkness.
12 耶和华从火焰中对你们说话，你们只听见声音，却没有看见形像。
Then the LORD spoke to you out of the fire. You heard the sound of words but saw no form; there was only a voice.
13 他将所吩咐你们当守的约指示你们，就是十条诫，并将这诫写在两块石版上。
He declared to you his covenant, the Ten Commandments, which he commanded you to follow and then wrote them on two stone tablets.
14 那时，耶和华又吩咐我将律例、典章教训你们，使你们在所要过去得为业的地上遵行。”
And the LORD directed me at that time to teach you the decrees and laws you are to follow in the land that you are crossing the Jordan to possess.
警告百姓不可拜偶像
15 “所以你们要分外谨慎，因为耶和华在何烈山从火中对你们说话的那日，你们没有看见什么形像。
You saw no form of any kind the day the LORD spoke to you at Horeb out of the fire. Therefore watch yourselves very carefully,
16 惟恐你们败坏自己，雕刻偶像，仿佛什么男像女像，
so that you do not become corrupt and make for yourselves an idol, an image of any shape, whether formed like a man or a woman,
17 或地上走兽的像，或空中飞鸟的像。
or like any animal on earth or any bird that flies in the air,
18 或地上爬物的像，或地底下水中鱼的像，
or like any creature that moves along the ground or any fish in the waters below.
19 又恐怕你向天举目观看，见耶和华你的 神为天下万民所摆列的日、月、星，就是天上的万象，自己便被勾引敬拜侍奉它。
And when you look up to the sky and see the sun, the moon and the stars--all the heavenly array--do not be enticed into bowing down to them and worshiping things the LORD your God has apportioned to all the nations under heaven.
20 耶和华将你们从埃及领出来脱离铁炉，要特作自己产业的子民，像今日一样。
But as for you, the LORD took you and brought you out of the iron-smelting furnace, out of Egypt, to be the people of his inheritance, as you now are.
21 耶和华又因你们的缘故，向我发怒起誓，必不容我过约旦河，也不容我进入耶和华你 神所赐你为业的那美地。
The LORD was angry with me because of you, and he solemnly swore that I would not cross the Jordan and enter the good land the LORD your God is giving you as your inheritance.
22 我只得死在这地，不能过约旦河；但你们必过去得那美地。
I will die in this land; I will not cross the Jordan; but you are about to cross over and take possession of that good land.
23 你们要谨慎，免得忘记耶和华你们 神与你们所立的约，为自己雕刻偶像，就是耶和华你 神所禁止你作的偶像，
Be careful not to forget the covenant of the LORD your God that he made with you; do not make for yourselves an idol in the form of anything the LORD your God has forbidden.
24 因为耶和华你的 神乃是烈火，是忌邪的 神。”
For the LORD your God is a consuming fire, a jealous God.
25 “你们在那地住久了，生子生孙，就雕刻偶像，仿佛什么形像，败坏自己，行耶和华你 神眼中看为恶的事，惹他发怒。
After you have had children and grandchildren and have lived in the land a long time--if you then become corrupt and make any kind of idol, doing evil in the eyes of the LORD your God and provoking him to anger,
26 我今日呼天唤地向你们作见证，你们必在过约旦河得为业的地上速速灭尽！你们不能在那地上长久，必尽行除灭。
I call heaven and earth as witnesses against you this day that you will quickly perish from the land that you are crossing the Jordan to possess. You will not live there long but will certainly be destroyed.
27 耶和华必使你们分散在万民中，在他所领你们到的万国里，你们剩下的人数稀少。
The LORD will scatter you among the peoples, and only a few of you will survive among the nations to which the LORD will drive you.
28 在那里你们必侍奉人手所造的神，就是用木石造成，不能看、不能听、不能吃、不能闻的神。
There you will worship man-made gods of wood and stone, which cannot see or hear or eat or smell.
29 但你们在那里必寻求耶和华你的 神。你尽心尽性寻求他的时候，就必寻见。
But if from there you seek the LORD your God, you will find him if you look for him with all your heart and with all your soul.
30 日后你遭遇一切患难的时候，你必归回耶和华你的 神，听从他的话。
When you are in distress and all these things have happened to you, then in later days you will return to the LORD your God and obey him.
31 耶和华你 神原是有怜悯的 神，他总不撇下你、不灭绝你，也不忘记他起誓与你列祖所立的约。”
For the LORD your God is a merciful God; he will not abandon or destroy you or forget the covenant with your forefathers, which he confirmed to them by oath.
32 -
Ask now about the former days, long before your time, from the day God created man on the earth; ask from one end of the heavens to the other. Has anything so great as this ever happened, or has anything like it ever been heard of?
33 “你且考察在你以前的世代，自 神造人在世以来，从天这边到天那边，曾有何民听见 神在火中说话的声音，像你听见还能存活呢？这样的大事何曾有、何曾听见呢？
Has any other people heard the voice of God speaking out of fire, as you have, and lived?
34 神何曾从别的国中将一国的人民领出来，用试验、神迹、奇事、争战、大能的手，和伸出来的膀臂，并大可畏的事，像耶和华你们的 神在埃及、在你们眼前为你们所行的一切事呢？
Has any god ever tried to take for himself one nation out of another nation, by testings, by miraculous signs and wonders, by war, by a mighty hand and an outstretched arm, or by great and awesome deeds, like all the things the LORD your God did for you in Egypt before your very eyes?
35 这是显给你看，要使你知道，惟有耶和华他是 神，除他以外，再无别神。
You were shown these things so that you might know that the LORD is God; besides him there is no other.
36 他从天上使你听见他的声音，为要教训你；又在地上使你看见他的烈火，并且听见他从火中所说的话。
From heaven he made you hear his voice to discipline you. On earth he showed you his great fire, and you heard his words from out of the fire.
37 因他爱你的列祖，所以拣选他们的后裔，用大能亲自领你出了埃及，
Because he loved your forefathers and chose their descendants after them, he brought you out of Egypt by his Presence and his great strength,
38 要将比你强大的国民从你面前赶出，领你进去，将他们的地赐你为业，像今日一样。
to drive out before you nations greater and stronger than you and to bring you into their land to give it to you for your inheritance, as it is today.
39 所以今日你要知道，也要记在心上，天上地下惟有耶和华他是 神，除他以外，再无别神。
Acknowledge and take to heart this day that the LORD is God in heaven above and on the earth below. There is no other.
40 我今日将他的律例、诫命晓谕你，你要遵守，使你和你的子孙可以得福，并使你的日子在耶和华你 神所赐的地上得以长久。”
Keep his decrees and commands, which I am giving you today, so that it may go well with you and your children after you and that you may live long in the land the LORD your God gives you for all time.
设立河东的庇护城
41 那时，摩西在约旦河东，向日出之地，分定三座城，
Then Moses set aside three cities east of the Jordan,
42 使那素无仇恨、无心杀了人的，可以逃到这三城之中的一座城，就得存活。
to which anyone who had killed a person could flee if he had unintentionally killed his neighbor without malice aforethought. He could flee into one of these cities and save his life.
43 为流便人，分定旷野平原的比悉；为迦得人，分定基列的拉末；为玛拿西人，分定巴珊的哥兰。
The cities were these: Bezer in the desert plateau, for the Reubenites; Ramoth in Gilead, for the Gadites; and Golan in Bashan, for the Manassites.
重申律法诫命
44 摩西在以色列人面前所陈明的律法，
This is the law Moses set before the Israelites.
45 就是摩西在以色列人出埃及后所传给他们的法度、律例、典章。
These are the stipulations, decrees and laws Moses gave them when they came out of Egypt
46 在约旦河东伯毗珥对面的谷中，在住希实本亚摩利王西宏之地，这西宏是摩西和以色列人出埃及后所击杀的。
and were in the valley near Beth Peor east of the Jordan, in the land of Sihon king of the Amorites, who reigned in Heshbon and was defeated by Moses and the Israelites as they came out of Egypt.
47 他们得了他的地，又得了巴珊王噩的地，就是两个亚摩利王，在约旦河东向日出之地。
They took possession of his land and the land of Og king of Bashan, the two Amorite kings east of the Jordan.
48 从亚嫩谷边的亚罗珥，直到西云山，就是黑门山。
This land extended from Aroer on the rim of the Arnon Gorge to Mount Siyon (that is, Hermon),
49 还有约旦河东的全亚拉巴，直到亚拉巴海，靠近毗斯迦山根。
and included all the Arabah east of the Jordan, as far as the Sea of the Arabah, below the slopes of Pisgah.
