Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Simplified)
1Then there shall be found in the land, which the Lord thy God will give thee, the corpse of a man slain, and it is not known who is guilty of the murder,
1「在耶和华—你 神所赐你为业的地上，若遇见被杀的人倒在田野，不知道是谁杀的，
2Thy ancients and judges shall go out, and shall measure from the place where the body lieth the distance of every city round about:
2长老和审判官就要出去，从被杀的人那里量起，直量到四围的城邑，
3And the ancients of that city which they shall perceive to be nearer than the rest, shall take a heifer of the herd, that hath not drawn in the yoke, nor ploughed the ground,
3看哪城离被杀的人最近，那城的长老就要从牛群中取一只未曾耕地、未曾负轭的母牛犊，
4And they shall bring her into a rough and stony valley, that never was ploughed, nor sown: and there they shall strike off the head of the heifer:
4把母牛犊牵到流水、未曾耕种的山谷去，在谷中打折母牛犊的颈项。
5And the priests the sons of Levi shall come, whom the Lord thy God hath chosen to minister to him, and to bless in his name, and that by their word every matter should be decided, and whatsoever is clean or unclean should be judged.
5祭司 利未 的子孙要近前来；因为耶和华—你的 神拣选了他们事奉他，奉耶和华的名祝福，所有争讼殴打的事都要凭他们判断。
6And the ancients of that city shall come to the person slain, and shall wash their hands over the heifer that was killed in the valley,
6那城的众长老，就是离被杀的人最近的，要在那山谷中，在所打折颈项的母牛犊以上洗手，
7And shall say: Our hands did not shed this blood, nor did our eyes see it.
7祷告说：『我们的手未曾流这 人的 血；我们的眼也未曾看见这事。
8Be merciful to thy people Israel, whom thou hast redeemed, O Lord, and lay not innocent blood to their charge, in the midst of thy people Israel. And the guilt of blood shall be taken from them:
8耶和华啊，求你赦免你所救赎的 以色列 民，不要使流无辜血的罪归在你的百姓 以色列 中间。』这样，流血的罪必得赦免。
9And thou shalt be free from the innocent’s blood, that was shed, when thou shalt have done what the Lord hath commanded thee.
9你行耶和华眼中看为正的事，就可以从你们中间除掉流无辜血的罪。」
10If thou go out to fight against thy enemies, and the Lord thy God deliver them into thy hand, and thou lead them away captives,
10「你出去与仇敌争战的时候，耶和华—你的 神将他们交在你手中，你就掳了他们去。
11And seest in the number of the captives a beautiful woman, and lovest her, and wilt have her to wife,
11若在被掳的人中见有美貌的女子，恋慕她，要娶她为妻，
12Thou shalt bring her into thy house: and she shall shave her hair, and pare her nails,
12就可以领她到你家里去；她便要剃头发，修指甲，
13And shall put off the raiment, wherein she was taken: and shall remain in thy house, and mourn for her father and mother one month: and after that thou shalt go in unto her, and shalt sleep with her, and she shall be thy wife.
13脱去被掳时所穿的衣服，住在你家里哀哭父母一个整月，然后可以与她同房。你作她的丈夫，她作你的妻子。
14Rut if afterwards she please thee not, thou shalt let her go free, but thou mayst not sell her for money nor oppress her by might because thou hast humbled her.
14后来你若不喜悦她，就要由她随意出去，决不可为钱卖她，也不可当婢女待她，因为你玷污了她。」
15If a man have two wives, one beloved, and the other hated, and they have had children by him, and the son of the hated be the firstborn,
15「人若有二妻，一为所爱，一为所恶，所爱的、所恶的都给他生了儿子，但长子是所恶之妻生的。
16And he meaneth to divide his substance among his sons: he may not make the son of the beloved the firstborn, and prefer him before the son of the hated.
16到了把产业分给儿子承受的时候，不可将所爱之妻生的儿子立为长子，在所恶之妻生的儿子以上，
17But he shall acknowledge the son of the hated for the firstborn, and shall give him a double portion of all he hath: for this is the first of his children, and to him are due the first birthrights.
17却要认所恶之妻生的儿子为长子，将产业多加一分给他；因这儿子是他力量强壮的时候生的，长子的名分本当归他。」
18If a man have a stubborn and unruly son, who will not hear the commandments of his father or mother, and being corrected, slighteth obedience:
18「人若有顽梗悖逆的儿子，不听从父母的话，他们虽惩治他，他仍不听从，
19They shall take him and bring him to the ancients of his city, and to the gate of judgment,
19父母就要抓住他，将他带到本地的城门、本城的长老那里，
20And shall say to them: This our son is rebellious and stubborn, he slighteth hearing our admonitions, he giveth himself to revelling, and to debauchery and banquetings:
20对长老说：『我们这儿子顽梗悖逆，不听从我们的话，是贪食好酒的人。』
21The people of the city shall stone him: and he shall die, that you may take away the evil out of the midst of you, and all Israel hearing it may be afraid.
21本城的众人就要用石头将他打死。这样，就把那恶从你们中间除掉， 以色列 众人都要听见害怕。」
22When a man hath committed a crime for which he is to be punished with death, and being condemned to die is hanged on a gibbet:
22「人若犯该死的罪，被治死了，你将他挂在木头上，
23His body shall not remain upon the tree, but shall be buried the same day: for he is accursed of God that hangeth on a tree: and thou shalt not defile thy land, which the Lord thy God shall give thee in possession.
23他的尸首不可留在木头上过夜，必要当日将他葬埋，免得玷污了耶和华—你 神所赐你为业之地。因为被挂的人是在 神面前受咒诅的。
