申命記 32
1 蒼天，傾聽，我要發言；大地，聆聽我口要說的話!
Ye heuenes, here what thingis Y schal speke; the erthe here the wordis of my mouth.
2 願我的教訓如雨下降，我的言語似露滴落，像降在綠茵上的細雨，像落在青草上的甘霖!
My techyng wexe togidere as reyn; my speche flete out as dew, as lytil reyn on eerbe, and as dropis on gras.
3 因為我要宣揚上主的名，請讚頌我們的天主!
For Y schal inwardli clepe the name of the Lord; yyue ye glorie to oure God.
4 他是磐石，他的作為完美無比；他的行徑公平正直，他是忠實無妄的天主，公義而又正直。
The werkis of God ben perfit, and alle hise weies ben domes; God is feithful, and without ony wickidnesse; God is iust and riytful.
5 那不堪稱為子女的，自趨墮落，背叛了他，實在是個邪惡敗壞的世代!
Thei synneden ayens hym, and not hise sones in filthis, `that is, of idolatrie; schrewid and waiward generacioun.
6 愚昧無知的人民，你們就這樣報答上主嗎﹖他不是生育你，創造你，使你生存的大父嗎﹖
Whether thou yeldist these thingis to the Lord, thou fonned puple and vnwijs? Whether he is not thi fadir, that weldide thee, and made, `and made thee of nouyt?
7 你回想往古的時日，思念歷代的歲月；問你的父親，問你的長輩，他必給你講述；
Haue thou minde of elde daies, thenke thou alle generaciouns; axe thi fadir, and he schal telle to thee, axe thi grettere men, and thei schulen seie to thee.
8 當至高者為民族分配產業時，分佈人的子孫時，按照天使的數目，為萬民劃定了疆界；
Whanne the hiyeste departide folkis, whanne he departide the sones of Adam, he ordeynede the termes of puplis bi the noumbre of the sones of Israel.
9 但雅各伯是上主所保留的一分，以色列成為他特有的產業。
Forsothe the part of the Lord is his puple; Jacob is the litil part of his eritage.
10 上主在曠野之地，在野獸咆哮的原野，發見了他，遂將他抱起，加以撫育，加以保護，有如自己的眼珠。
The Lord foond hym in a deseert lond, `that is, priued of Goddis religioun, in the place of orrour `ethir hidousnesse, and of wast wildirnesse; the Lord ledde hym aboute, and tauyte hym, and kepte as the apple of his iye.
11 老鷹怎樣守候自己的窩巢，飛翔在幼雛之上，上主也怎樣伸展雙翅，把他背在自己的翼上。
As an egle stirynge his briddis to fle, and fleynge on hem, he spredde forth his wyngis, and took hem, and bar in hise schuldris.
12 上主獨自領導了他，他旁邊並沒有外邦的神祇。
The Lord aloone was his ledere, and noon alien god was with hym.
13 上主使他馳騁於高原之上，以田間的出產養育他，使他享受巖穴間的蜜，堅石中的油，
The Lord ordeynede hym on an hiy lond, that he schulde ete the fruytis of feeldis, that he schulde souke hony of a stoon, and oile of the hardeste roche;
14 牛酪和羊乳，肥美的羔羊和公羊，巴商的公牛與山羊，以及上等的麥麵；並以葡萄美酒作你的飲品。
botere of the droue, and mylke of scheep, with the fatnesse of lambren and of rammes, of the sones of Basan; and that he schulde ete kydis with the merowe of wheete, and schulde drynke the cleereste blood of grape.
15 雅各伯吃肥了，耶叔戎吃胖了，會踢人了。──的確，你胖了，肥了，飽滿了。──他遂拋棄了造他的天主，輕視了救他的磐石。
The louede puple was `maad fat, and kikide ayen; maad fat withoutforth, maad fat with ynne, and alargid; he forsook God his makere, and yede awei fro `God his helthe.
16 他們以邪神的敬禮激起他的妒火，以可憎惡的事物，惹他動怒；
Thei terriden hym to ire in alien goddis, and thei excitiden to wrathfulnesse in abhomynaciouns.
17 他們所祭祀的是邪神，而非真神，是向來所不認識的神，是近來新興，你們的祖先所不敬畏的神。
Thei offriden to feendis, and not to God, to goddis whiche thei knewen not, newe goddis, and freische camen, whiche `the fadris of hem worschipiden not.
18 你忽略了那生你的磐石，忘記了那使你出世的天主。
Thou hast forsake God that gendride thee, and thou hast foryete `thi Lord creatour.
19 上主一見，大為震怒，遂拋棄了自己的子女，
The Lord siy, and was stirid to wrathfulnesse; for hise sones and douytris terriden hym.
20 說我要掩面不顧他們，要看他們的結局如何；這實在是敗壞的一代，毫無信實的子女。
And the Lord seide, Y schal hyde my face fro hem, and Y schal biholde `the laste thingis of hem; for it is a waiward generacioun, and vnfeithful sones.
21 他們以虛妄之神，激起我的怒火，以虛無之物，惹我動怒；我也要以那不成子民的人激起他們的妒火，以愚昧的民族惹他們發怒。
Thei terriden me in hym that was not God, and thei `terriden to ire in her vanytees; and Y schal terre hem in hym, that is not a puple, and Y schal terre hem `to yre in a fonned folk.
Fier, that is, peyne maad redi to hem, is kyndlid in my stronge veniaunce, and it schal brenne `til to the laste thingis of helle; and it schal deuoure the lond with his fruyt, and it schal brenne the foundementis of hillis. (Sheol h7585)
23 我要將災禍不斷加在他們身上，向他們射盡我的箭矢。
Y schal gadere `yuels on hem, and Y schal fille myn arewis in hem.
24 他們必因饑餓而衰弱，必為熱症、毒疫所消滅；我還使尖牙的野獸和土中爬行的毒蟲傷害他們。
Thei schulen be waastid with hungur, and briddis schulen deuoure hem with bitteriste bityng; Y schal sende in to hem the teeth of beestis, with the woodnesse of wormes drawynge on erthe, and of serpentis.
25 外有刀劍，內有恐怖，使少男少女，乳兒白頭，同歸於盡。
Swerd with outforth and drede with ynne schal waaste hem; a yong man and a virgyn togidre, a soukynge child with an elde man.
26 我原想粉碎他們，將他們的記念由人間消滅；
And Y seide, Where ben thei? Y schal make the mynde of hem to ceesse of men.
27 但我怕仇人自誇，怕敵人誤會說：「是我的手得勝了，而不是上主行了這一切。」
But Y delayede for the yre of enemyes, lest perauenture `the enemyes of hem shulden be proude, and seie, Oure hiy hond, and not the Lord, dide alle these thingis.
28 他們原是無謀的民族，沒有一點見識。
It is a folk with out counsel, and with out prudence;
29 如果他們有點智慧，定會明瞭此事，看清未來的局勢。
Y wolde that thei saueriden, and `vnderstoden, and purueiden the laste thingis.
30 「若不是他們的磐石出賣了他們，上主放棄了他們一人怎能追擊一千，兩人怎能打跑一萬﹖」
How pursuede oon of enemyes a thousynde of Jewis, and tweyne dryuen awey ten thousynde? Whether not therfore for her God selde hem, and the Lord closide hem togidere?
31 連我們的仇人也承認，他們的磐石不如我們的磐石。
For oure God is not as the goddis of hem, and oure enemyes ben iugis.
32 誠然，他們的葡萄秧，出自索多瑪的葡萄園，來在哈摩辣的田園；他們的葡萄是毒葡萄，粒粒葡萄皆酸苦。
The vyner of hem is of the vyner of Sodom, and of the subarbis of Gomorre; the grape of hem is the grape of galle, and the clustre is most bittir.
33 他們的酒是蛇的毒汁，是蝮蛇的猛烈毒液。
The galle of dragouns is the wyn of hem, and the venym of eddris, that may not be heelid.
34 這事豈不是貯藏在我身旁，封閉在我府庫裏﹖
Whether these thingis ben not hid at me, and ben seelid in myn tresouris?
35 等到他們失足之時，我必復仇報復；他們滅亡的日子確已臨近，給他們預定的命運就要來到。
Veniaunce is myn, and Y schal yelde to hem in tyme, that the foot of hem slide; the dai of perdicioun is nyy, and tymes hasten to be present.
36 因為上主要衛護自己的人民，憐恤自己的僕人。當他看見他們的能力已逝，奴隸與自由人已到絕境，
The Lord schal deme his puple, and he schal do merci in hise seruauntis; the puple schal se that the hond of fiyteres is sijk, and also men closid failiden, and the residues ben waastid.
37 必問說：「他們的神祇在那裏，他們投靠的磐石究在何處﹖
And thei schulen seie, Where ben `the goddis of hem, in whiche thei hadden trust?
38 一向吃他們祭牲脂肪的，喝他們奠祭酒漿的，都在那裏﹖讓他們起來援助你們罷! 讓他們做你們的保障罷!
Of whos sacrifices thei eeten fatnessis, and drunkun the wyn of fletynge sacrifices, rise thei and helpe you, and defende thei you in nede.
39 現在你們應認清，只有我是「那一位，」除我以外沒有別神；我使人死，也使人活；我擊傷人，也加以治療；誰也不能由我手中救出。
Se ye that Y am aloone, and noon other God is outakun me; Y schal sle, and Y schal make to lyue; Y schal smyte, and Y schal make hool; and noon is that may delyuere fro myn hond.
40 我向天舉手宣誓：我生活至於永遠!
And Y schal reise myn hond to heuene, and Y schal seie, Y lyue with outen ende.
41 我一磨亮我的刀劍，我一掌握裁判權，必向我的敵人雪恨，對恨我的人報復。
If Y schal whette my swerd as leit, and myn hond schal take doom, Y schal yelde veniaunce to myn enemyes, and Y schal quyte to hem that haten me.
42 我要使我的箭矢醉飲鮮血，使我的刀劍吞食血肉：陣亡和俘虜的鮮血，仇敵將領的頭顱。」
Y schal fille myn arewis with blood, and my swerd schal deuoure fleischis of the blood of hem that ben slayn, and of the caitifte of the heed of enemyes maad nakid.
43 萬國，你們應向他的百姓祝賀! 因為上主必為自己的僕人報血仇，向仇敵報復，聖潔自己的土地和百姓。
Folkis, preise ye the puplis of hym, for he schal venie the blood of hise seruauntis, and he schal yelde veniaunce in to the enemyes of hem; and he schal be merciful to the lond of his puple.
44 梅瑟和農的兒子若蘇厄前來，將這篇詩歌的話朗誦給百姓聽。
Therfor Moises cam, and spak alle the wordis of this song in the eeris of the puple; bothe he and Josue, the sone of Nun.
45 梅瑟向全以色列人一朗誦完了，
And `he fillide alle these wordis, and spak to alle Israel, and seide to hem,
46 就對他們說：「你們應把我今日警告你們的一切話記在心內，好吩咐你們的子孫，謹守遵行這法律上的一切話。
Putte ye youre hertis in to alle the wordis whiche Y witnesse to you to day, that ye comaunde to youre sones, to kepe, and do tho, and to fulfille alle thingis that ben writun in the book of this lawe;
47 因為這為你們不是空洞的話，而是關係你們的生命；由於遵守這話，你們纔能在過約但河後所要佔領的地上，長久居留。」
for not in veyn tho ben comaundid to you, but that alle men schulden lyue in tho; whiche wordis ye schulen do, and schulen contynue in long tyme in the lond, to which ye schulen entre to welde, whanne Jordan is passid.
48 上主就在當天對梅瑟說：「
And the Lord spak to Moises in the same day,
49 你到摩阿布去，上這座阿巴陵山，即面對耶里哥的乃波山上去，觀看我要給以色列子民作產業的客納罕地。
and seide, Stie thou in to this hil Abirym, that is, passyng, in to the hil of Nebo, which is in the lond of Moab, ayens Jerico; and se thou the lond of Canaan, which Y schal yyue to the sones of Israel to holde, and die thou in the hil.
50 你要死在你所上的山上，歸到你本族那裏，像你哥哥亞郎死在曷爾山，歸到他本族那裏一樣。
In to which hil thou schalt stie, and schalt be ioyned to thi puplis, as Aaron, thi brother, was deed in the hil of Hor, and was put to his puplis.
51 因為你們在親曠野，卡德士的默黎巴水邊，在以色列子民中對我失信，沒有在他們中尊我為聖；
For ye trespassiden ayens me, in the myddis of the sones of Israel, at the Watris of Ayenseiyng, in Cades of deseert of Syn; and ye halewiden not me among the sones of Israel.
52 為此，我賜給以色列子民的地方，你只可由對面眺望，卻不能進去。」
Ayenward thou schalt se the lond, and schalt not entre in to it, which Y schal yyue to the sones of Israel.
