申命記 32
1 諸天哪，側耳，我要說話； 願地也聽我口中的言語。
Give ear, you heavens, and let me speak. Let the earth listen to the words of my mouth.
2 我的教訓要淋漓如雨； 我的言語要滴落如露， 如細雨降在嫩草上， 如甘霖降在菜蔬中。
Let my teaching drop down like the rain, let my speech distill like the dew, like the gentle rain on the tender grass, and like the showers on the plants.
3 我要宣告耶和華的名； 你們要將大德歸與我們的上帝。
For I will proclaim the name of Yahweh, and ascribe greatness to our God.
4 他是磐石，他的作為完全； 他所行的無不公平， 是誠實無偽的上帝， 又公義，又正直。
The Rock, his work is perfect; for all his paths are just. He is the faithful God, without iniquity. He is just and upright.
5 這乖僻彎曲的世代向他行事邪僻； 有這弊病就不是他的兒女。
They have acted corruptly against him. They are not his children. It is their disgrace. They are a perverted and crooked generation.
6 愚昧無知的民哪，你們這樣報答耶和華嗎？ 他豈不是你的父、將你買來的嗎？ 他是製造你、建立你的。
Do you reward Yahweh in this way, you foolish and senseless people? Is he not your father, the one who has created you? He made you and established you.
7 你當追想上古之日， 思念歷代之年； 問你的父親，他必指示你； 問你的長者，他必告訴你。
Call to mind the days of ancient times, think about the years of many ages past. Ask your father and he will show you, your elders and they will tell you.
8 至高者將地業賜給列邦，將世人分開， 就照以色列人的數目立定萬民的疆界。
When the Most High gave the nations their inheritance— when he divided all of mankind, and he set the boundaries of the peoples, as he also fixed the number of their gods.
9 耶和華的分本是他的百姓； 他的產業本是雅各。
For Yahweh's portion is his people; Jacob is his apportioned inheritance.
10 耶和華遇見他在曠野－ 荒涼野獸吼叫之地， 就環繞他，看顧他， 保護他，如同保護眼中的瞳人。
He found him in a desert land, and in the barren and howling wilderness; he shielded him and cared for him, he guarded him as the apple of his eye.
11 又如鷹攪動巢窩， 在雛鷹以上兩翅搧展， 接取雛鷹，背在兩翼之上。
As an eagle that guards her nest and flutters over her young, Yahweh spread out his wings and took them, and carried them on his pinions.
12 這樣，耶和華獨自引導他， 並無外邦神與他同在。
Yahweh alone led him; no foreign god was with him.
13 耶和華使他乘駕地的高處， 得吃田間的土產； 又使他從磐石中咂蜜， 從堅石中吸油；
He made him ride on high places of the land, and he fed him the fruits of the field; he nourished him with honey from the rock, and oil from the flinty crag.
14 也吃牛的奶油， 羊的奶，羊羔的脂油， 巴珊所出的公綿羊和山羊， 與上好的麥子， 也喝葡萄汁釀的酒。
He ate butter from the herd and drank milk from the flock, with fat of lambs, rams of Bashan and goats, with the finest of the wheat— and you drank foaming wine made from the juice of grapes.
15 但耶書崙漸漸肥胖，粗壯， 光潤，踢跳，奔跑， 便離棄造他的上帝， 輕看救他的磐石；
But Jeshurun grew fat and kicked— you grew fat, you were too fat, and you had eaten your fill— he abandoned the God who made him, and he rejected the Rock of his salvation.
16 敬拜別神，觸動上帝的憤恨， 行可憎惡的事，惹了他的怒氣。
They made Yahweh jealous by their strange gods; with their abominations they angered him.
17 所祭祀的鬼魔並非真神， 乃是素不認識的神， 是近來新興的， 是你列祖所不畏懼的。
They sacrificed to demons, which are not God— gods they had not known, gods that recently appeared, gods your fathers did not fear.
18 你輕忽生你的磐石， 忘記產你的上帝。
You have deserted the Rock, who became your father, and you forgot the God who gave you birth.
19 耶和華看見他的兒女惹動他， 就厭惡他們，說：
Yahweh saw this and he rejected them, because his sons and his daughters provoked him so.
20 我要向他們掩面， 看他們的結局如何。 他們本是極乖僻的族類， 心中無誠實的兒女。
“I will hide my face from them,” he said, “and I will see what their end will be; for they are a perverse generation, children who are unfaithful.
21 他們以那「不算為神」的觸動我的憤恨， 以虛無的神惹了我的怒氣。 我也要以那「不成子民」的觸動他們的憤恨， 以愚昧的國民惹了他們的怒氣。
They have made me jealous by what is not god and angered me by their worthless things. I will make them envious by those who are not a people; by a foolish nation I will make them angry.
For a fire is kindled by my anger and is burning to the lowest Sheol; it is devouring the earth and its harvest; it is setting on fire the foundations of the mountains. (Sheol h7585)
23 我要將禍患堆在他們身上， 把我的箭向他們射盡。
I will heap disasters on them; I will shoot all my arrows at them;
24 他們必因飢餓消瘦， 被炎熱苦毒吞滅。 我要打發野獸用牙齒咬他們， 並土中腹行的，用毒氣害他們。
They will be wasted by hunger and devoured by burning heat and bitter destruction; I will send on them the teeth of wild animals, with the poison of things that crawl in the dust.
25 外頭有刀劍，內室有驚恐， 使人喪亡，使少男、童女、 吃奶的、白髮的，盡都滅絕。
Outside the sword will bereave, and in the bedrooms terror will do so. It will destroy both young man and virgin, the nursing baby, and the man of gray hairs.
26 我說，我必將他們分散遠方， 使他們的名號從人間除滅。
I said that I would scatter them far away, that I would make the memory of them to cease from among mankind.
27 惟恐仇敵惹動我， 只怕敵人錯看，說：是我們手的能力， 並非耶和華所行的。
Were it not that I feared the provocation of the enemy, and that their enemies would judge mistakenly, and that they would say, 'Our hand is exalted,' I would have done all this.
28 因為以色列民毫無計謀， 心中沒有聰明。
For Israel is a nation devoid of wisdom, and there is no understanding in them.
29 惟願他們有智慧， 能明白這事，肯思念他們的結局。
Oh, that they were wise, that they understood this, that they would consider their coming fate!
30 若不是他們的磐石賣了他們， 若不是耶和華交出他們， 一人焉能追趕他們千人？ 二人焉能使萬人逃跑呢？
How could one chase a thousand, and two put ten thousand to flight, unless their Rock had sold them, and Yahweh had given them up?
31 據我們的仇敵自己斷定， 他們的磐石不如我們的磐石。
For our enemies' rock is not like our Rock, just as even our enemies admit.
32 他們的葡萄樹是所多瑪的葡萄樹， 蛾摩拉田園所生的； 他們的葡萄是毒葡萄， 全掛都是苦的。
For their vine comes from the vine of Sodom, and from the fields of Gomorrah; their grapes are grapes of poison; their clusters are bitter.
33 他們的酒是大蛇的毒氣， 是虺蛇殘害的惡毒。
Their wine is the poison of serpents and the cruel venom of asps.
34 這不都是積蓄在我這裏， 封鎖在我府庫中嗎？
Is not this plan secretly kept by me, sealed up among my treasures?
35 他們失腳的時候，伸冤報應在我； 因他們遭災的日子近了； 那要臨在他們身上的必速速來到。
Vengeance is mine to give, and recompense, at the time when their foot slips; for the day of disaster for them is near, and the things that are to come on them will hurry to happen.”
36 耶和華見他百姓毫無能力， 無論困住的、自由的都沒有剩下， 就必為他們伸冤， 為他的僕人後悔。
For Yahweh will give justice to his people, and he will pity his servants. He will see that their power is gone, and no one remains, either slaves or free people.
37 他必說：他們的神， 他們所投靠的磐石，
Then he will say, “Where are their gods, the rock in whom they took refuge?—
38 就是向來吃他們祭牲的脂油， 喝他們奠祭之酒的，在哪裏呢？ 他可以興起幫助你們， 護衛你們。
The gods who ate the fat of their sacrifices and drank the wine of their drink offerings? Let them rise up and help you; let them be your protection.
39 你們如今要知道： 我，惟有我是上帝； 在我以外並無別神。 我使人死，我使人活； 我損傷，我也醫治， 並無人能從我手中救出來。
See now that I, even I, am God, and that there is no god besides me; I kill, and I make alive; I wound, and I heal, and there is no one who can save you from my might.
40 我向天舉手說： 我憑我的永生起誓：
For I lift up my hand to heaven and say, 'As I live forever, I will act.
41 我若磨我閃亮的刀， 手掌審判之權， 就必報復我的敵人， 報應恨我的人。
When I sharpen my glittering sword, and when my hand begins to bring justice, I will render vengeance on my enemies, and I will pay back those who hate me.
42 我要使我的箭飲血飲醉， 就是被殺被擄之人的血。 我的刀要吃肉， 乃是仇敵中首領之頭的肉。
I will make my arrows drunk with blood, and my sword will devour flesh with the blood of the killed and the captives, and from the heads of the leaders of the enemy.'”
43 你們外邦人當與主的百姓一同歡呼； 因他要伸他僕人流血的冤， 報應他的敵人， 潔淨他的地，救贖他的百姓。
Rejoice, you nations, with God's people, for he will avenge the blood of his servants; he will render vengeance on his enemies, and he will make atonement for his land, for his people.
44 摩西和嫩的兒子約書亞去將這歌的一切話說給百姓聽。
Moses came and recited all the words of this song in the ears of the people, he, and Joshua son of Nun.
45 摩西向以色列眾人說完了這一切的話，
Then Moses finished reciting all these words to all Israel.
46 又說：「我今日所警教你們的，你們都要放在心上；要吩咐你們的子孫謹守遵行這律法上的話。
He said to them, “Fix your mind on all the words that I have witnessed to you today, so that you may command your children to keep them, all the words of this law.
47 因為這不是虛空、與你們無關的事，乃是你們的生命；在你們過約旦河要得為業的地上必因這事日子得以長久。」
For this is no trivial matter for you, because it is your life, and through this thing you will prolong your days in the land that you are going over the Jordan to possess.”
48 當日，耶和華吩咐摩西說：
Yahweh spoke to Moses on that same day and said,
49 「你上這亞巴琳山中的尼波山去，在摩押地與耶利哥相對，觀看我所要賜給以色列人為業的迦南地。
“Go up into this range of the mountains of Abarim, up Mount Nebo, which is in the land of Moab, opposite Jericho. You will look at the land of Canaan, which I am giving to the people of Israel as their possession.
50 你必死在你所登的山上，歸你列祖去，像你哥哥亞倫死在何珥山上，歸他的列祖一樣。
You will die on the mountain that you go up, and you will be gathered to your people, as Aaron your fellow Israelite died on Mount Hor and was gathered to his people.
51 因為你們在尋的曠野，加低斯的米利巴水，在以色列人中沒有尊我為聖，得罪了我。
This will happen because you were unfaithful to me among the people of Israel at the waters of Meribah in Kadesh, in the wilderness of Zin; because you did not treat me with honor and respect among the people of Israel.
52 我所賜給以色列人的地，你可以遠遠地觀看，卻不得進去。」
For you will see the land before you, but you will not go there, into the land that I am giving to the people of Israel.”
