Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
1Hear, O Israel: Thou shalt go over the Jordan this day; to possess nations very great, and stronger than thyself, cities great, and walled up to the sky,
1「 以色列 啊，你當聽！你今日要過 約旦河 ，進去趕出比你強大的國民，得着廣大堅固、高得頂天的城邑。
2A People great and tall, the sons of the Enacims, whom thou hast seen, and heard of, against whom no man is able to stand.
2那民是 亞衲 族的人，又大又高，是你所知道的；也曾聽見有人指着他們說：『誰能在 亞衲 族人面前站立得住呢？』
3Thou shalt know therefore this day that the Lord thy God himself will pass over before thee, a devouring and consuming fire, to destroy and extirpate and bring them to nothing before thy face quickly, as he hath spoken to thee.
3你今日當知道，耶和華－你的上帝在你前面過去，如同烈火，要滅絕他們，將他們制伏在你面前。這樣，你就要照耶和華所說的趕出他們，使他們速速滅亡。
4Say not in thy heart, when the Lord thy God shall have destroyed them in thy sight: For my justice hath the Lord brought me in to possess this land, whereas these nations are destroyed for their wickedness.
4「耶和華－你的上帝將這些國民從你面前攆出以後，你心裏不可說：『耶和華將我領進來得這地是因我的義。』其實，耶和華將他們從你面前趕出去是因他們的惡。
5For it is not for thy justices, and the uprightness of thy heart that thou shalt go in to possess their lands: but because they have done wickedly, they are destroyed at thy coming in: and that the Lord might accomplish his word, which he promised by oath to thy fathers Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
5你進去得他們的地，並不是因你的義，也不是因你心裏正直，乃是因這些國民的惡，耶和華－你的上帝將他們從你面前趕出去，又因耶和華要堅定他向你列祖 亞伯拉罕 、 以撒 、 雅各 起誓所應許的話。
6Know therefore that the Lord thy God giveth thee not this excellent land in possession for thy justices, for thou art a very stiffnecked people.
6「你當知道，耶和華－你上帝將這美地賜你為業，並不是因你的義；你本是硬着頸項的百姓。
7Remember, and forget not how then provokedst the Lord thy God to wrath in the wilderness. From the day that thou camest out of Egypt unto this place, thou hast always strove against the Lord.
7你當記念不忘，你在曠野怎樣惹耶和華－你上帝發怒。自從你出了 埃及 地的那日，直到你們來到這地方，你們時常悖逆耶和華。
8For in Horeb also thou didst provoke him, and he was angry, and would have destroyed thee,
8你們在 何烈山 又惹耶和華發怒；他惱怒你們，要滅絕你們。
9When I went up into the mount to receive the tables of stone, the tables of the covenant which the Lord made with you: and I continued in the mount forty days and nights, neither eating bread, nor drinking water.
9我上了山，要領受兩塊石版，就是耶和華與你們立約的版。那時我在山上住了四十晝夜，沒有吃飯，也沒有喝水。
10And the Lord gave me two tables of stone written with the finger of God, and containing all the words that he spoke to you in the mount from the midst of the Are, when the people were assembled together.
10耶和華把那兩塊石版交給我，是上帝用指頭寫的。版上 所寫的 是照耶和華在大會的日子、在山上、從火中對你們所說的一切話。
11And when forty days were passed, and as many nights, the Lord gave me the two tables of stone, the tables of the covenant,
11過了四十晝夜，耶和華把那兩塊石版，就是約版，交給我。
12And said to me: Arise, and go down from hence quickly: for thy people, which thou hast brought out of Egypt, have quickly forsaken the way that thou hast shewn them, and have made to themselves a molten idol.
12對我說：『你起來，趕快下去！因為你從 埃及 領出來的百姓已經敗壞了自己；他們快快地偏離了我所吩咐的道，為自己鑄成了偶像。』
13And again the Lord said to me: I see that this people is stiffnecked:
13「耶和華又對我說：『我看這百姓是硬着頸項的百姓。
14Let me alone that I may destroy them, and abolish their name from under heaven, and set thee over a nation, that is greater and stronger than this.
14你且由着我，我要滅絕他們，將他們的名從天下塗抹，使你的後裔比他們成為更大更強的國。』
15And when I came down from the burning mount, and held the two tables of the covenant with both hands,
15於是我轉身下山，山被火燒着，兩塊約版在我兩手之中。
16And saw that you had sinned against the Lord your God, and had made to yourselves a molten calf, and had quickly forsaken his way, which he had shewn you:
16我一看見你們得罪了耶和華－你們的上帝，鑄成了牛犢，快快地偏離了耶和華所吩咐你們的道，
17I cast the tables out of my hands, and broke them in your sight.
17我就把那兩塊版從我手中扔下去，在你們眼前摔碎了。
18And I fell down before the Lord as before, forty days and nights neither eating bread, nor drinking water, for all your sins, which you had committed against the Lord, and had provoked him to wrath:
18因你們所犯的一切罪，行了耶和華眼中看為惡的事，惹他發怒，我就像從前俯伏在耶和華面前四十晝夜，沒有吃飯，也沒有喝水。
19For I feared his indignation and anger, wherewith being moved against you, he would have destroyed you. And the Lord heard me this time also.
19我因耶和華向你們大發烈怒，要滅絕你們，就甚害怕；但那次耶和華又應允了我。
20And he was exceeding angry against Aaron also, and would have destroyed him, and I prayed in like manner for him.
20耶和華也向 亞倫 甚是發怒，要滅絕他；那時我又為 亞倫 祈禱。
21And your sin that you had committed, that is, the calf, I took, and burned it with fire, and breaking it into pieces, until it was as small as dust, I threw it into the torrent, which cometh down from the mountain.
21我把那叫你們犯罪所鑄的牛犢用火焚燒，又搗碎磨得很細，以致細如灰塵，我就把這灰塵撒在從山上流下來的溪水中。
22At the burning also, and at the place of temptation, and at the graves of lust you provoked the Lord:
22「你們在 他備拉 、 瑪撒 、 基博羅‧哈他瓦 又惹耶和華發怒。
23And when he sent you from Cadesbarne, saying: Go up, and possess the land that I have given you, and you slighted the commandment of the Lord your God, and did not believe him, neither would you hearken to his voice:
23耶和華打發你們離開 加低斯‧巴尼亞 ，說：『你們上去得我所賜給你們的地。』那時你們違背了耶和華－你們上帝的命令，不信服他，不聽從他的話。
24But were always rebellious from the day that I began to know you.
24自從我認識你們以來，你們常常悖逆耶和華。
25And I lay prostrate before the Lord forty days and nights, in which I humbly besought him, that he would not destroy you as he had threatened:
25「我因耶和華說要滅絕你們，就在耶和華面前照舊俯伏四十晝夜。
26And praying, I said: O Lord God, destroy not thy people, and thy inheritance, which thou hast redeemed in thy greatness, whom thou hast brought out of Egypt with a strong hand.
26我祈禱耶和華說：『主耶和華啊，求你不要滅絕你的百姓。他們是你的產業，是你用大力救贖的，用大能從 埃及 領出來的。
27Remember thy servants Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob: look not on the stubbornness of this people, nor on their wickedness and sin:
27求你記念你的僕人 亞伯拉罕 、 以撒 、 雅各 ，不要想念這百姓的頑梗、邪惡、罪過，
28Lest perhaps the inhabitants of the land, out of which thou hast brought us, say: The Lord could not bring them into the land that he promised them, and he hated them: therefore he brought them out, that he might kill them in the wilderness,
28免得你領我們出來的那地之人說，耶和華因為不能將這百姓領進他所應許之地，又因恨他們，所以領他們出去，要在曠野殺他們。
29Who are thy people and thy inheritance, whom thou hast brought out by thy great strength, and in thy stretched out arm.
29其實他們是你的百姓，你的產業，是你用大能和伸出來的膀臂領出來的。』」
