Deuteronomy 4
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
1And now, O Israel, hearken unto the statutes and unto the ordinances, which I teach you, to do them; that ye may live, and go in and possess the land which the LORD, the God of your fathers, giveth 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。
2Ye shall not add unto the word which I command you, neither shall ye diminish from it, that ye may 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 what the LORD did in Baal-peor; for all the men that followed the Baal of Peor, the LORD thy God hath destroyed them from the midst of thee.
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 ye that did cleave unto the LORD your God are alive every one of you this day.
4惟有你們專靠耶和華－你們上帝的人，今日全都存活。
5Behold, I have taught you statutes and ordinances, even as the LORD my God commanded me, that ye should do so in the midst of the land whither ye go in to possess it.
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。
6Observe therefore and do them; for this is your wisdom and your understanding in the sight of the peoples, that, when they hear all these statutes, shall say: 'Surely this great nation is a wise and understanding people.'
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！』
7For what great nation is there, that hath God so nigh unto them, as the LORD our God is whensoever we call upon Him?
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？
8And what great nation is there, that hath statutes and ordinances so righteous as all this law, which I set before you this day?
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？
9Only take heed to thyself, and keep thy soul diligently, lest thou forget the things which thine eyes saw, and lest they depart from thy heart all the days of thy life; but make them known unto thy children and thy children's children;
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。
10the day that thou stoodest before the LORD thy God in Horeb, when the LORD said unto me: 'Assemble Me the people, and I will make them hear My words that they may learn to fear Me all the days that they live upon the earth, and that they 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 ye came near and stood under the mountain; and the mountain burned with fire unto the heart of heaven, with darkness, cloud, and thick darkness.
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 unto you out of the midst of the fire; ye heard the voice of words, but ye saw no form; only a voice.
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 declared unto you His covenant, which He commanded you to perform, even the ten words; and He wrote them upon 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 the LORD commanded me at that time to teach you statutes and ordinances, that ye might do them in the land whither ye go over to possess it.
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。」
15Take ye therefore good heed unto yourselves — for ye saw no manner of form on the day that the LORD spoke unto you in Horeb out of 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 ye deal corruptly, and make you a graven image, even the form of any figure, the likeness 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 likeness of any beast that is on the earth, the likeness of any winged fowl that flieth in the heaven,
17或地上走獸的像，或空中飛鳥的像，
18the likeness of any thing that creepeth on the ground, the likeness of any fish that is in the water under the earth;
18或地上爬物的像，或地底下水中魚的像。
19and lest thou lift up thine eyes unto heaven, and when thou seest the sun and the moon and the stars, even all the host of heaven, thou be drawn away and worship them, and serve them, which the LORD thy God hath allotted unto all the peoples under the whole 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 you hath the LORD taken and brought forth out of the iron furnace, out of Egypt, to be unto Him a people of inheritance, as ye are this 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。
21Now the LORD was angered with me for your sakes, and swore that I should not go over the Jordan, and that I should not go in unto that good land, which the LORD thy God giveth thee for an inheritance;
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。
22but I must die in this land, I must not go over the Jordan; but ye are to go over, and possess that good 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。
23Take heed unto yourselves, lest ye forget the covenant of the LORD your God, which He made with you, and make you a graven image, even the likeness of any thing which the LORD thy God hath forbidden thee.
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；
24For the LORD thy God is a devouring fire, a jealous God.
24因為耶和華－你的上帝乃是烈火，是忌邪的上帝。
25When thou shalt beget children, and children's children, and ye shall have been long in the land, and shall deal corruptly, and make a graven image, even the form of any thing, and shall do that which is evil in the sight of the LORD thy God, to provoke Him;
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 heaven and earth to witness against you this day, that ye shall soon utterly perish from off the land whereunto ye go over the Jordan to possess it; ye shall not prolong your days upon it, but shall utterly be destroyed.
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 the LORD shall scatter you among the peoples, and ye shall be left few in number among the nations, whither the LORD shall lead you away.
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 ye shall serve gods, the work of men's hands, wood and stone, which 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。
29But from thence ye will seek the LORD thy God; and thou shalt find Him, if thou search after Him with all thy heart and with all 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。
30In thy distress, when all these things are come upon thee, in the end of days, thou wilt return to the LORD thy God, and hearken unto 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。
31for the LORD thy God is a merciful God; He will not fail thee, neither destroy thee, nor forget the covenant of thy fathers which He swore unto them.
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。
32For ask now of the days past, which were before thee, since the day that God created man upon the earth, and from the one end of heaven unto the other, whether there hath been any such thing as this great thing is, or hath been heard like it?
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？
33Did ever a people hear the voice of God speaking out of the midst of the fire, as thou hast heard, and live?
no verse 33 in this text
34Or hath God assayed to go and take Him a nation from the midst of another nation, by trials, by signs, and by wonders, and by war, and by a mighty hand, and by an outstretched arm, and by great terrors, according to all that the LORD your God did for you in Egypt before thine 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？
35Unto thee it was shown, that thou mightiest know that the LORD, He is God; there is none else beside 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。
36Out of heaven He made thee to hear His voice, that He might instruct thee; and upon earth He made thee to see His 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。
37And because He loved thy fathers, and chose their seed after them, and brought thee out with His presence, with His great power, out of Egypt,
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 drive out nations from before thee greater and mightier than thou, to bring thee in, to give thee their land for an inheritance, as it is this 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 this day, and lay it to thy heart, that the LORD, He is God in heaven above and upon the earth beneath; there is none else.
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。
40And thou shalt keep His statutes, and His commandments, which I command thee this day, that it may go well with thee, and with thy children after thee, and that thou mayest prolong thy days upon the land, which the LORD thy God giveth thee, for ever.
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 separated three cities beyond the Jordan toward the sunrising;
41「那時， 摩西 在 約旦河 東，向日出之地，分定三座城，
42that the manslayer might flee thither, that slayeth his neighbour unawares, and hated him not in time past; and that fleeing unto one of these cities he might live:
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：
43Bezer in the wilderness, in the table-land, for the Reubenites; and Ramoth in Gilead, for the Gadites; and Golan in Bashan, for the Manassites.
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 。」
44And this is the law which Moses set before the children of Israel;
44摩西 在 以色列 人面前所陳明的律法－
45these are the testimonies, and the statutes, and the ordinances, which Moses spoke unto the children of Israel, when they came forth 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 Beth-peor, in the land of Sihon king of the Amorites, who dwelt at Heshbon, whom Moses and the children of Israel smote, when they came forth 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。
47and they took his land in possession, and the land of Og king of Bashan, the two kings of the Amorites, who were beyond the Jordan toward the sunrising;
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 on the edge of the valley of Arnon, even unto mount Sion — the same is Hermon —
48從 亞嫩谷 邊的 亞羅珥 ，直到 西雲山 ，就是 黑門山 。
49and all the Arabah beyond the Jordan eastward, even unto the sea of the Arabah, under the slopes of Pisgah.
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。
