Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Simplified)
1And in the four and twentieth day of the month the children of Israel came together with fasting and with sackcloth, and earth upon them.
1这月二十四日， 以色列 人聚集禁食，身穿麻衣，头蒙灰尘。
2And the seed of the children of Israel separated themselves from every stranger: and they stood, and confessed their sins, and the iniquities of their fathers.
2以色列 人就与一切外邦人离绝，站着承认自己的罪恶和列祖的罪孽。
3And they rose up to stand: and they read in the book of the law of the Lord their God, four times in the day, and four times they confessed, and adored the Lord their God.
3那日的四分之一站在自己的地方念耶和华—他们 神的律法书，又四分之一认罪，敬拜耶和华—他们的 神。
4And there stood up upon the seep of the Levites, Josue, and Bani, and Cedmihel, Sabania, Bonni, Sarebias, Bani, and Chanani: and they cried with a loud voice to the Lord their God.
4耶书亚 、 巴尼 、 甲篾 、 示巴尼 、 布尼 、 示利比 、 巴尼 、 基拿尼 站在 利未 人的台上，大声哀求耶和华—他们的 神。
5And the Levites Josue and Cedmihel, Bonni, Hasebnia, Serebia, Oduia, Sebnia, and Phathahia, said: Arise, bless the Lord your God from eternity to eternity: and blessed be the high name of thy glory with all blessing and praise.
5利未 人 耶书亚 、 甲篾 、 巴尼 、 哈沙尼 、 示利比 、 荷第雅 、 示巴尼 、 毗他希雅 说：「你们要站起来称颂耶和华—你们的 神，永世无尽。耶和华啊，你荣耀之名是应当称颂的！超乎一切称颂和赞美。」
6Thou thyself, O Lord alone, thou hast made heaven, and the heaven of heavens, and all the host thereof: the earth and all things that are in it: the seas and all that are therein: and thou givest life to all these things, and the host of heaven adoreth thee.
6「你，惟独你是耶和华！你造了天和天上的天，并天上的万象，地和地上的万物，海和海中所有的；这一切都是你所保存的。天军也都敬拜你。
7Thou, O Lord God, art he who chosest Abram, and broughtest him forth out of the fire of the Chaldeans, and gavest him the name of Abraham.
7你是耶和华 神，曾拣选 亚伯兰 ，领他出 迦勒底 的 吾珥 ，给他改名叫 亚伯拉罕 。
8And thou didst find his heart faithful before thee: and thou madest a covenant with him, to give him the land of the Chanaanite, of the Hethite, and of the Amorrhite, and of the Pherezite, and of the Jebusite, and of the Gergezite, to give it to his seed: and thou hast fulfilled thy words, because thou art just.
8你见他在你面前心里诚实，就与他立约，应许把 迦南 人、 赫 人、 亚摩利 人、 比利洗 人、 耶布斯 人、 革迦撒 人之地赐给他的后裔，且应验了你的话，因为你是公义的。
9And thou sawest the affliction of our fathers in Egypt: and thou didst hear their cry by the Red Sea.
9「你曾看见我们列祖在 埃及 所受的困苦，垂听他们在 红海 边的哀求，
10And thou shewedst signs and wonders upon Pharao, and upon all his servants, and upon the people of his land: for thou knewest that they dealt proudly against them: and thou madest thyself a name, as it is at this day.
10就施行神迹奇事在法老和他一切臣仆，并他国中的众民身上。你也得了名声，正如今日一样，因为你知道他们向我们列祖行事狂傲。
11And thou didst divide the sea before them, and they passed through the midst of the sea on dry land: but their persecutors thou threwest into the depth, as a stone into mighty waters.
11你又在我们列祖面前把海分开，使他们在海中行走干地，将追赶他们的人抛在深海，如石头抛在大水中；
12And in a pillar of a cloud thou wast their leader by day, and in a pillar of Are by night, that they might see the way by which they went.
12并且白昼用云柱引导他们，黑夜用火柱照亮他们当行的路。
13Thou camest down also to mount Sinai, and didst speak with them from heaven, and thou gavest them right judgments, and the law of truth, ceremonies, and good precepts.
13你也降临在 西奈山 ，从天上与他们说话，赐给他们正直的典章、真实的律法、美好的条例与诫命，
14Thou madest known to them thy holy sabbath, and didst prescribe to them commandments, and ceremonies, and the law by the hand of Moses thy servant.
14又使他们知道你的安息圣日，并借你仆人 摩西 传给他们诫命、条例、律法。
15And thou gavest them bread from heaven in their hunger, and broughtest forth water for them out of the rock in their thirst, and thou saidst to them that they should go in, and possess the land, upon which thou hadst lifted up thy hand to give it them.
15从天上赐下粮食充他们的饥，从磐石使水流出解他们的渴，又吩咐他们进去得你起誓应许赐给他们的地。
16But they and our fathers dealt proudly, and hardened their necks and hearkened not to thy commandments.
16「但我们的列祖行事狂傲，硬着颈项不听从你的诫命；
17And they would not hear, and they remembered not thy wonders which thou hadst done for them. And they hardened their necks, and gave the head to return to their bondage, as it were by contention. But thou, a forgiving God, gracious, and merciful, longsuffering, and full of compassion, didst not forsake them.
17不肯顺从，也不记念你在他们中间所行的奇事，竟硬着颈项，居心背逆，自立首领，要回他们为奴之地。但你是乐意饶恕人，有恩典，有怜悯，不轻易发怒，有丰盛慈爱的 神，并不丢弃他们。
18Yea when they had made also to themselves a molten calf, and had said: This is thy God, that brought thee out of Egypt: and hail committed great blasphemies:
18他们虽然铸了一只牛犊，彼此说『这是领你出 埃及 的神』，因而大大惹动你的怒气；
19Yet thou, in thy many mercies, didst not leave them in the desert: the pillar of the cloud departed not from them by day to lead them in the way, and the pillar of fire by night to shew them the way by which they should go.
19你还是大施怜悯，在旷野不丢弃他们。白昼，云柱不离开他们，仍引导他们行路；黑夜，火柱也不离开他们，仍照亮他们当行的路。
20And thou gavest them thy good Spirit to teach them, and thy manna thou didst not withhold from their mouth, and thou gavest them water for their thirst.
20你也赐下你良善的灵教训他们；未尝不赐吗哪使他们糊口，并赐水解他们的渴。
21Forty years didst thou feed them in the desert, and nothing was wanting to them: their garments did not grow old, and their feet were not worn.
21在旷野四十年，你养育他们，他们就一无所缺：衣服没有穿破，脚也没有肿。
22And thou gavest them kingdoms, and nations, and didst divide lots for them: and they possessed the land of Sehon, and the land of the king of Hesebon, and the land of Og king of Basan.
22并且你将列国之地照分赐给他们，他们就得了 西宏 之地、 希实本 王之地，和 巴珊 王 噩 之地。
23And thou didst multiply their children as the stars of heaven, and broughtest them to the land concerning which thou hadst said to their fathers, that they should go in and possess it.
23你也使他们的子孙多如天上的星，带他们到你所应许他们列祖进入得为业之地。
24And the children came and possessed the land, and thou didst humble before them the inhabitants of the land, the Chanaanites, and gavest them into their hands, with their kings, and the people of the land, that they might do with them as it pleased them.
24这样，他们进去得了那地，你在他们面前制伏那地的居民，就是 迦南 人；将 迦南 人和其君王，并那地的居民，都交在他们手里，让他们任意而待。
25And they took strong cities and a fat land, and possessed houses full of all goods: cisterns made by others, vineyards, and oliveyards, and fruit trees in abundance: and they ate, and were filled, and became fat, and abounded with delight in thy great goodness.
25他们得了坚固的城邑、肥美的地土、充满各样美物的房屋、凿成的水井、葡萄园、橄榄园，并许多果木树。他们就吃而得饱，身体肥胖，因你的大恩，心中快乐。
26But they provoked thee to wrath, and departed from thee, and threw thy law behind their backs: and they killed thy prophets, who admonished them earnestly to return to thee: and they were guilty of great blasphemies.
26「然而，他们不顺从，竟背叛你，将你的律法丢在背后，杀害那劝他们归向你的众先知，大大惹动你的怒气。
27And thou gavest them into the hands of their enemies, and they afflicted them. And in the time of their tribulation they cried to thee, and thou heardest from heaven, and according to the multitude of thy tender mercies thou gavest them saviours, to save them from the hands of their enemies.
27所以你将他们交在敌人的手中，磨难他们。他们遭难的时候哀求你，你就从天上垂听，照你的大怜悯赐给他们拯救者，救他们脱离敌人的手。
28But after they had rest, they returned to do evil in thy sight: and thou leftest them in the hand of their enemies, and they had dominion over them. Then they returned, and cried to thee: and thou heardest from heaven, and deliveredst them many times in thy mercies.
28但他们得平安之后，又在你面前行恶，所以你丢弃他们在仇敌的手中，使仇敌辖制他们。然而他们转回哀求你，你仍从天上垂听，屡次照你的怜悯拯救他们，
29And thou didst admonish them to return to thy law. But they dealt proudly, and hearkened not to thy commandments, but sinned against thy judgments, which if a man do, he shall live in them: and they withdrew the shoulder, and hardened their neck, and would not hear.
29又警戒他们，要使他们归服你的律法。他们却行事狂傲，不听从你的诫命，干犯你的典章（人若遵行就必因此活着），扭转肩头，硬着颈项，不肯听从。
30And thou didst forbear with them for many years, and didst testify against them by thy spirit by the hand of thy prophets: and they heard not, and thou didst deliver them into the hand of the people of the lands.
30但你多年宽容他们，又用你的灵借众先知劝戒他们，他们仍不听从，所以你将他们交在列国之民的手中。
31Yet in thy very many mercies thou didst not utterly consume them, nor forsake them: because thou art a merciful and gracious God.
31然而你大发怜悯，不全然灭绝他们，也不丢弃他们；因为你是有恩典、有怜悯的 神。
32Now therefore our God, great, strong and terrible, who keepest covenant and mercy, turn not away from thy face all the labour which hath come upon us, upon our kings, and our princes, and our priests, and our prophets, and our fathers, and all the people from the days of the king of Assur, until this day.
32「我们的 神啊，你是至大、至能、至可畏、守约施慈爱的 神。我们的君王、首领、祭司、先知、列祖，和你的众民，从 亚述 列王的时候直到今日所遭遇的苦难，现在求你不要以为小。
33And thou art just in all things that have come upon us: because thou hast done truth, but we have done wickedly.
33在一切临到我们的事上，你却是公义的；因你所行的是诚实，我们所做的是邪恶。
34Our kings, our princes, our priests, and our fathers have not kept thy law, and have not minded thy commandments, and thy testimonies which thou hast testified among them.
34我们的君王、首领、祭司、列祖都不遵守你的律法，不听从你的诫命和你警戒他们的话。
35And they have not served thee in their kingdoms, and in thy manifold goodness, which thou gavest them, and in the large and fat land, which thou deliveredst before them, nor did they return from their most wicked devices.
35他们在本国里沾你大恩的时候，在你所赐给他们这广大肥美之地上不事奉你，也不转离他们的恶行。
36Behold we ourselves this day are bondmen: and the land, which thou gavest our fathers, to eat the bread thereof, and the good things thereof, and we ourselves are servants in it.
36我们现今作了奴仆；至于你所赐给我们列祖享受其上的土产，并美物之地，看哪，我们在这地上作了奴仆！
37And the fruits thereof grow up for the kings, whom thou hast set over us for our sins, and they have dominion over our bodies, and over our beasts, according to their will, and we are in great tribulation.
37这地许多出产归了列王，就是你因我们的罪所派辖制我们的。他们任意辖制我们的身体和牲畜，我们遭了大难。」
38And because of all this we ourselves make a covenant, and write it, and our princes, our Levites, and our priests sign it.
38因这一切的事，我们立确实的约，写在册上。我们的首领、 利未 人，和祭司都签了名。
