Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
1And now, O Israel, hear the commandments and judgments which I teach thee: that doing them, thou mayst live, and entering in mayst possess the land which the Lord the God of your fathers will give you.
1「 以色列 人哪，現在我所教訓你們的律例典章，你們要聽從遵行，好叫你們存活，得以進入耶和華－你們列祖之上帝所賜給你們的地，承受為業。
2You shall not add to the word that I speak to you, neither shall you take away from it: keep the commandments of the Lord your God which I command you.
2所吩咐你們的話，你們不可加添，也不可刪減，好叫你們遵守我所吩咐的，就是耶和華－你們上帝的命令。
3Your eyes have seen all that the Lord hath done against Beelphegor, how he hath destroyed all his worshippers from among you.
3耶和華因 巴力‧毗珥 的事所行的，你們親眼看見了。凡隨從 巴力‧毗珥 的人，耶和華－你們的上帝都從你們中間除滅了。
4But you that adhere to the Lord your God, are all alive until this present day.
4惟有你們專靠耶和華－你們上帝的人，今日全都存活。
5You know that I have taught you statutes and justices, as the Lord my God hath commanded me: so shall you do them in the land which you shall possess:
5我照着耶和華－我上帝所吩咐的將律例典章教訓你們，使你們在所要進去得為業的地上遵行。
6And you shall observe, and fulfill them in practice. For this is your wisdom, and understanding in the sight of nations, that hearing all these precepts, they may say: Behold a wise and understanding people, a great nation.
6所以你們要謹守遵行；這就是你們在萬民眼前的智慧、聰明。他們聽見這一切律例，必說：『這大國的人真是有智慧，有聰明！』
7Neither is there any other nation so great, that hath gods so nigh them, as our God is present to all our petitions.
7哪一大國的人有神與他們相近，像耶和華－我們的上帝、在我們求告他的時候與我們相近呢？
8For what other nation is there so renowned that hath ceremonies, and just judgments, and all the law, which I will set forth this day before your eyes?
8又哪一大國有這樣公義的律例典章、像我今日在你們面前所陳明的這一切律法呢？
9Keep thyself therefore, and thy soul carefully. Forget not the words that thy eyes have seen, and let them not go out of thy heart all the days of thy life. Thou shalt teach them to thy sons and to thy grandsons,
9「你只要謹慎，殷勤保守你的心靈，免得忘記你親眼所看見的事，又免得你一生、這事離開你的心；總要傳給你的子子孫孫。
10From the day in which thou didst stand before the Lord thy God in Horeb, when the Lord spoke to me, saying: Call together the people unto me, that they may hear my words, and may learn to fear me all the time that they live on the earth, and may teach their children.
10你在 何烈山 站在耶和華－你上帝面前的那日，耶和華對我說：『你為我招聚百姓，我要叫他們聽見我的話，使他們存活在世的日子，可以學習敬畏我，又可以教訓兒女這樣行。』
11And you came to the foot of the mount, which burned even unto heaven: and there was darkness, and a cloud and obscurity in it.
11那時你們近前來，站在山下；山上有火焰沖天，並有昏黑、密雲、幽暗。
12And the Lord spoke to you from the midst of the fire. You heard the voice of his words, but you saw not any form at all.
12耶和華從火焰中對你們說話，你們只聽見聲音，卻沒有看見形像。
13And he shewed you his covenant, which he commanded you to do, and the ten words that he wrote in two tables of stone.
13他將所吩咐你們當守的約指示你們，就是十條誡，並將這誡寫在兩塊石版上。
14And he commanded me at that time that I should teach you the ceremonies and judgments which you shall do in the land, that you shall possess.
14那時耶和華又吩咐我將律例典章教訓你們，使你們在所要過去得為業的地上遵行。」
15Keep therefore your souls carefully. You saw not any similitude in the day that the Lord God spoke to you in Horeb from the midst of the fire:
15「所以，你們要分外謹慎；因為耶和華在 何烈山 、從火中對你們說話的那日，你們沒有看見甚麼形像。
16Lest perhaps being deceived you might make you a graven similitude, or image of male or female,
16惟恐你們敗壞自己，雕刻偶像，彷彿甚麼男像女像，
17The similitude of any beasts, that are upon the earth, or of birds, that fly under heaven,
17或地上走獸的像，或空中飛鳥的像，
18Or of creeping things, that move on the earth, or of fishes, that abide in the waters under the earth:
18或地上爬物的像，或地底下水中魚的像。
19Lest perhaps lifting up thy eyes to heaven, thou see the sun and the moon, and all the stars of heaven, and being deceived by error thou adore and serve them, which the Lord thy God created for the service of all the nations, that are under heaven.
19又恐怕你向天舉目觀看，見耶和華－你的上帝為天下萬民所擺列的日月星，就是天上的萬象，自己便被勾引敬拜事奉它。
20But the Lord hath taken you and brought you out of the iron furnace of Egypt, to make you his people of inheritance, as it is this present day.
20耶和華將你們從 埃及 領出來，脫離鐵爐，要特作自己產業的子民，像今日一樣。
21And the Lord was angry with me for your words, and he swore that I should not pass over the Jordan, nor enter into the excellent land, which he will give you.
21耶和華又因你們的緣故向我發怒，起誓必不容我過 約旦河 ，也不容我進入耶和華－你上帝所賜你為業的那美地。
22Behold I die in this land, I shall not pass over the Jordan: you shall pass, and possess the goodly land.
22我只得死在這地，不能過 約旦河 ；但你們必過去得那美地。
23Beware lest thou ever forget the covenant of the Lord thy God, which he hath made with thee: and make to thyself a graven likeness of those things which the Lord hath forbid to be made:
23你們要謹慎，免得忘記耶和華－你們上帝與你們所立的約，為自己雕刻偶像，就是耶和華－你上帝所禁止你做的偶像；
24Because the Lord thy God is a consuming fire, a jealous God.
24因為耶和華－你的上帝乃是烈火，是忌邪的上帝。
25If you shall beget sons and grandsons, and abide in the land, and being deceived, make to yourselves any similitude, committing evil before the Lord your God, to provoke him to wrath:
25「你們在那地住久了，生子生孫，就雕刻偶像，彷彿甚麼形像，敗壞自己，行耶和華－你上帝眼中看為惡的事，惹他發怒。
26I call this day heaven and earth to witness, that you shall quickly perish out of the land, which, when you have passed over the Jordan, you shall possess. You shall not dwell therein long, but the Lord will destroy you,
26我今日呼天喚地向你們作見證，你們必在過 約旦河 得為業的地上速速滅盡！你們不能在那地上長久，必盡行除滅。
27And scatter you among all nations, and you shall remain a few among the nations, to which the Lord shall lead you.
27耶和華必使你們分散在萬民中；在他所領你們到的萬國裏，你們剩下的人數稀少。
28And there you shall serve gods, that were framed with men’s hands: wood and stone, that neither see, nor hear, nor eat, nor smell.
28在那裏，你們必事奉人手所造的神，就是用木石造成、不能看、不能聽、不能吃、不能聞的神。
29And when thou shalt seek there the Lord thy God, thou shalt find him: yet so, if thou seek him with all thy heart, and all the affliction of thy soul.
29但你們在那裏必尋求耶和華－你的上帝。你盡心盡性尋求他的時候，就必尋見。
30After all the things aforesaid shall and thee, in the latter time thou shalt return to the Lord thy God, and shalt hear his voice.
30日後你遭遇一切患難的時候，你必歸回耶和華－你的上帝，聽從他的話。
31Because the Lord thy God is a merciful God: he will not leave thee, nor altogether destroy thee, nor forget the covenant, by which he swore to thy fathers.
31耶和華－你上帝原是有憐憫的上帝；他總不撇下你，不滅絕你，也不忘記他起誓與你列祖所立的約。
32Ask of the days of old, that have been before thy time from the day that God created man upon the earth, from one end of heaven to the other end thereof, if ever there was done the like thing, or it hath been known at any time,
32「你且考察在你以前的世代，自上帝造人在世以來，從天這邊到天那邊，曾有何民聽見上帝在火中說話的聲音，像你聽見還能存活呢？這樣的大事何曾有、何曾聽見呢？
33That a people should hear the voice of God speaking out of the midst of fire, as thou hast heard, and lived:
no verse 33 in this text
34If God ever did so as to go, and take to himself a nation out of the midst of nations by temptations, signs, and wonders, by fight, and a strong hand, and stretched out arm, and horrible visions according to all the things that the Lord your God did for you in Egypt, before thy eyes.
34上帝何曾從別的國中將一國的人民領出來，用試驗、神蹟、奇事、爭戰、大能的手，和伸出來的膀臂，並大可畏的事，像耶和華－你們的上帝在 埃及 ，在你們眼前為你們所行的一切事呢？
35That thou mightest know that the Lord he is God, and there is no other besides him.
35這是顯給你看，要使你知道，惟有耶和華－他是上帝，除他以外，再無別神。
36From heaven he made thee to hear his voice, that he might teach thee. And upon earth he shewed thee his exceeding great fire, and thou didst hear his words out of the midst of the fire,
36他從天上使你聽見他的聲音，為要教訓你，又在地上使你看見他的烈火，並且聽見他從火中所說的話。
37Because he loved thy fathers, and chose their seed after them. And he brought thee out of Egypt, going before thee with his great power,
37因他愛你的列祖，所以揀選他們的後裔，用大能親自領你出了 埃及 ，
38To destroy at thy coming very great nations, and stronger than thou art, and to bring thee in, and give thee their land for a possession, as thou seest at this present day.
38要將比你強大的國民從你面前趕出，領你進去，將他們的地賜你為業，像今日一樣。
39Know therefore this day, and think in thy heart that the Lord he is God in heaven above, and in the earth beneath, and there is no other.
39所以，今日你要知道，也要記在心上，天上地下惟有耶和華他是上帝，除他以外，再無別神。
40Keep his precepts and commandments, which I command thee: that it may be well with thee, and thy children after thee, and thou mayst remain a long time upon the land, which the Lord thy God will give thee.
40我今日將他的律例誡命曉諭你，你要遵守，使你和你的子孫可以得福，並使你的日子在耶和華－你上帝所賜的地上得以長久。」
41Then Moses set aside three cities beyond the Jordan at the east side,
41「那時， 摩西 在 約旦河 東，向日出之地，分定三座城，
42That any one might flee to them who should kill his neighbour unwillingly, and was not his enemy a day or two before, and that he might escape to some one of these cities:
42使那素無仇恨、無心殺了人的，可以逃到這三城之中的一座城，就得存活：
43Bosor in the wilderness, which is situate in the plains of the tribe of Ruben: and Ramoth in Galaad, which is in the tribe of Gad: and Golan in Basan, which is in the tribe of Manasses.
43為 呂便 人分定曠野平原的 比悉 ；為 迦得 人分定 基列 的 拉末 ；為 瑪拿西 人分定 巴珊 的 哥蘭 。」
44This is the law, that Moses set before the children of Israel,
44摩西 在 以色列 人面前所陳明的律法－
45And these are the testimonies and ceremonies and judgments, which he spoke to the children of Israel, when they came out of Egypt,
45就是 摩西 在 以色列 人出 埃及 後所傳給他們的法度、律例、典章；
46Beyond the Jordan in the valley over against the temple of Phogor, in the land of Sehon king of the Amorrhites, that dwelt in Hesebon, whom Moses slew. And the children of Israel coming out of Egypt,
46在 約旦河 東 伯‧毗珥 對面的谷中，在住 希實本 、 亞摩利 王 西宏 之地；這 西宏 是 摩西 和 以色列 人出 埃及 後所擊殺的。
47Possessed his land, and the land of Og king of Basan, of the two kings of the Amorrhites, who were beyond the Jordan towards the rising of the sun:
47他們得了他的地，又得了 巴珊 王 噩 的地，就是兩個 亞摩利 王，在 約旦河 東向日出之地。
48From Aroer, which is situate upon the bank of the torrent Amen, unto mount Sion, which is also called Hermon,
48從 亞嫩谷 邊的 亞羅珥 ，直到 西雲山 ，就是 黑門山 。
49All the plain beyond the Jordan at the east side, unto the see of the wilderness, and unto the foot of mount Phasga.
49還有 約旦河 東的全 亞拉巴 ，直到 亞拉巴海 ，靠近 毗斯迦山 根。
