Deuteronomy 32
1 Give ear, O heavens, to my voice; let the earth take note of the words of my mouth:
诸天哪，侧耳，我要说话； 愿地也听我口中的言语。
2 My teaching is dropping like rain, coming down like dew on the fields; like rain on the young grass and showers on the garden plants:
我的教训要淋漓如雨； 我的言语要滴落如露， 如细雨降在嫩草上， 如甘霖降在菜蔬中。
3 For I will give honour to the name of the Lord: let our God be named great.
我要宣告耶和华的名； 你们要将大德归与我们的 神。
4 He is the Rock, complete is his work; for all his ways are righteousness: a God without evil who keeps faith, true and upright is he.
他是磐石，他的作为完全； 他所行的无不公平， 是诚实无伪的 神， 又公义，又正直。
5 They have become false, they are not his children, the mark of sin is on them; they are an evil and hard-hearted generation.
这乖僻弯曲的世代向他行事邪僻； 有这弊病就不是他的儿女。
6 Is this your answer to the Lord, O foolish people and unwise? Is he not your father who has given you life? He has made you and given you your place.
愚昧无知的民哪，你们这样报答耶和华吗？ 他岂不是你的父、将你买来的吗？ 他是制造你、建立你的。
7 Keep in mind the days of the past, give thought to the years of generations gone by: go to your father and he will make it clear to you, to the old men and they will give you the story.
你当追想上古之日， 思念历代之年； 问你的父亲，他必指示你； 问你的长者，他必告诉你。
8 When the Most High gave the nations their heritage, separating into groups the children of men, he had the limits of the peoples marked out, keeping in mind the number of the children of Israel.
至高者将地业赐给列邦，将世人分开， 就照以色列人的数目立定万民的疆界。
9 For the Lord's wealth is his people; Jacob is the land of his heritage.
耶和华的分本是他的百姓； 他的产业本是雅各。
10 He came to him in the waste land, in the unpeopled waste of sand: putting his arms round him and caring for him, he kept him as the light of his eye.
耶和华遇见他在旷野— 荒凉野兽吼叫之地， 就环绕他，看顾他， 保护他，如同保护眼中的瞳人。
11 As an eagle, teaching her young to make their flight, with her wings outstretched over them, takes them up on her strong feathers:
又如鹰搅动巢窝， 在雏鹰以上两翅搧展， 接取雏鹰，背在两翼之上。
12 So the Lord only was his guide, no other god was with him.
这样，耶和华独自引导他， 并无外邦神与他同在。
13 He put him on the high places of the earth, his food was the increase of the field; honey he gave him out of the rock and oil out of the hard rock;
耶和华使他乘驾地的高处， 得吃田间的土产； 又使他从磐石中咂蜜， 从坚石中吸油；
14 Butter from his cows and milk from his sheep, with fat of lambs and sheep of Bashan, and goats, and the heart of the grain; and for your drink, wine from the blood of the grape.
也吃牛的奶油， 羊的奶，羊羔的脂油， 巴珊所出的公绵羊和山羊， 与上好的麦子， 也喝葡萄汁酿的酒。
15 But Jeshurun became fat and would not be controlled: you have become fat, you are thick and full of food: then he was untrue to the God who made him, giving no honour to the Rock of his salvation.
但耶书 渐渐肥胖，粗壮， 光润，踢跳，奔跑， 便离弃造他的 神， 轻看救他的磐石；
16 The honour which was his they gave to strange gods; by their disgusting ways he was moved to wrath.
敬拜别神，触动 神的愤恨， 行可憎恶的事，惹了他的怒气。
17 They made offerings to evil spirits which were not God, to gods who were strange to them, which had newly come up, not feared by your fathers.
所祭祀的鬼魔并非真神， 乃是素不认识的神， 是近来新兴的， 是你列祖所不畏惧的。
18 You have no thought for the Rock, your father, you have no memory of the God who gave you birth.
你轻忽生你的磐石， 忘记产你的 神。
19 And the Lord saw with disgust the evil-doing of his sons and daughters.
耶和华看见他的儿女惹动他， 就厌恶他们，说：
20 And he said, My face will be veiled from them, I will see what their end will be: for they are an uncontrolled generation, children in whom is no faith.
我要向他们掩面， 看他们的结局如何。 他们本是极乖僻的族类， 心中无诚实的儿女。
21 They have given my honour to that which is not God, moving me to wrath with their false worship: I will give their honour to those who are not a people, moving them to wrath by a foolish nation,
他们以那“不算为神”的触动我的愤恨， 以虚无的神惹了我的怒气。 我也要以那“不成子民”的触动他们的愤恨， 以愚昧的国民惹了他们的怒气。
22 For my wrath is a flaming fire, burning to the deep parts of the underworld, burning up the earth with her increase, and firing the deep roots of the mountains. (Sheol h7585)
因为在我怒中有火烧起， 直烧到极深的阴间， 把地和地的出产尽都焚烧， 山的根基也烧着了。 (Sheol h7585)
23 I will send a rain of troubles on them, my arrows will be showered on them.
我要将祸患堆在他们身上， 把我的箭向他们射尽。
24 They will be wasted from need of food, and overcome by burning heat and bitter destruction; and the teeth of beasts I will send on them, with the poison of the worms of the dust.
他们必因饥饿消瘦， 被炎热苦毒吞灭。 我要打发野兽用牙齿咬他们， 并土中腹行的，用毒气害他们。
25 Outside they will be cut off by the sword, and in the inner rooms by fear; death will take the young man and the virgin, the baby at the breast and the grey-haired man.
外头有刀剑，内室有惊恐， 使人丧亡，使少男、童女、 吃奶的、白发的，尽都灭绝。
26 I said I would send them wandering far away, I would make all memory of them go from the minds of men:
我说，我必将他们分散远方， 使他们的名号从人间除灭。
27 But for the fear that their haters, uplifted in their pride, might say, Our hand is strong, the Lord has not done all this.
惟恐仇敌惹动我， 只怕敌人错看，说：是我们手的能力， 并非耶和华所行的。
28 For they are a nation without wisdom; there is no sense in them.
因为以色列民毫无计谋， 心中没有聪明。
29 If only they were wise, if only this was clear to them, and they would give thought to their future!
惟愿他们有智慧， 能明白这事，肯思念他们的结局。
30 How would it be possible for one to overcome a thousand, and two to send ten thousand in flight, if their rock had not let them go, if the Lord had not given them up?
若不是他们的磐石卖了他们， 若不是耶和华交出他们， 一人焉能追赶他们千人？ 二人焉能使万人逃跑呢？
31 For their rock is not like our Rock, even our haters themselves being judges.
据我们的仇敌自己断定， 他们的磐石不如我们的磐石。
32 For their vine is the vine of Sodom, from the fields of Gomorrah: their grapes are the grapes of evil, and the berries are bitter:
他们的葡萄树是所多玛的葡萄树， 蛾摩拉田园所生的； 他们的葡萄是毒葡萄， 全挂都是苦的。
33 Their wine is the poison of dragons, the cruel poison of snakes.
他们的酒是大蛇的毒气， 是虺蛇残害的恶毒。
34 Is not this among my secrets, kept safe in my store-house?
这不都是积蓄在我这里， 封锁在我府库中吗？
35 Punishment is mine and reward, at the time of the slipping of their feet: for the day of their downfall is near, sudden will be their fate.
他们失脚的时候，伸冤报应在我； 因他们遭灾的日子近了； 那要临在他们身上的必速速来到。
36 For the Lord will be judge of his people, he will have pity for his servants; when he sees that their power is gone, there is no one, shut up or free.
耶和华见他百姓毫无能力， 无论困住的、自由的都没有剩下， 就必为他们伸冤， 为他的仆人后悔。
37 And he will say, Where are their gods, the rock in which they put their faith?
他必说：他们的神， 他们所投靠的磐石，
38 Who took the fat of their offerings, and the wine of their drink offering? Let them now come to your help, let them be your salvation.
就是向来吃他们祭牲的脂油， 喝他们奠祭之酒的，在哪里呢？ 他可以兴起帮助你们， 护卫你们。
39 See now, I myself am he; there is no other god but me: giver of death and life, wounding and making well: and no one has power to make you free from my hand.
你们如今要知道： 我，惟有我是 神； 在我以外并无别神。 我使人死，我使人活； 我损伤，我也医治， 并无人能从我手中救出来。
40 For lifting up my hand to heaven I say, By my unending life,
我向天举手说： 我凭我的永生起誓：
41 If I make sharp my shining sword, and my hand is outstretched for judging, I will give punishment to those who are against me, and their right reward to my haters.
我若磨我闪亮的刀， 手掌审判之权， 就必报复我的敌人， 报应恨我的人。
42 I will make my arrows red with blood, my sword will be feasting on flesh, with the blood of the dead and the prisoners, of the long-haired heads of my haters.
我要使我的箭饮血饮醉， 就是被杀被掳之人的血。 我的刀要吃肉， 乃是仇敌中首领之头的肉。
43 Be glad, O you his people, over the nations; for he will take payment for the blood of his servants, and will give punishment to his haters, and take away the sin of his land, for his people.
你们外邦人当与主的百姓一同欢呼； 因他要伸他仆人流血的冤， 报应他的敌人， 洁净他的地，救赎他的百姓。
44 So Moses said all the words of this song in the hearing of the people, he and Hoshea, the son of Nun.
摩西和嫩的儿子约书亚去将这歌的一切话说给百姓听。
45 And after saying all this to the people,
摩西向以色列众人说完了这一切的话，
46 Moses said to them, Let the words which I have said to you today go deep into your hearts, and give orders to your children to do every word of this law.
又说：“我今日所警教你们的，你们都要放在心上；要吩咐你们的子孙谨守遵行这律法上的话。
47 And this is no small thing for you, but it is your life, and through this you may make your days long in the land which you are going over Jordan to take for your heritage.
因为这不是虚空、与你们无关的事，乃是你们的生命；在你们过约旦河要得为业的地上必因这事日子得以长久。”
48 That same day the Lord said to Moses,
当日，耶和华吩咐摩西说：
49 Go up into this mountain of Abarim, to Mount Nebo in the land of Moab opposite Jericho; there you may see the land of Canaan, which I am giving to the children of Israel for their heritage:
“你上这亚巴琳山中的尼波山去，在摩押地与耶利哥相对，观看我所要赐给以色列人为业的迦南地。
50 And let death come to you on the mountain where you are going, and be put to rest with your people; as death came to Aaron, your brother, on Mount Hor, where he was put to rest with his people:
你必死在你所登的山上，归你列祖去，像你哥哥亚伦死在何珥山上，归他的列祖一样。
51 Because of your sin against me before the children of Israel at the waters of Meribath Kadesh in the waste land of Zin; because you did not keep my name holy among the children of Israel.
因为你们在寻的旷野，加低斯的米利巴水，在以色列人中没有尊我为圣，得罪了我。
52 So you will see the land before you, but you will not go into the land which I am giving to the children of Israel.
我所赐给以色列人的地，你可以远远地观看，却不得进去。”
