Deuteronomy 32
1 Heaven, listen as I speak; Earth, hear what I'm saying.
诸天哪，侧耳，我要说话； 愿地也听我口中的言语。
2 May my teaching fall gently like the rain; may my words drop lightly like the dew, like soft rain on new grass, like spring showers on growing 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 I will praise the Lord's character. Tell everyone how great he is!
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. Everything he does is perfect, for all his ways are right. He is the trustworthy God who is never unjust; he is fair and honest.
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 His children have acted immorally towards him; so they are no longer his children because of their sinful stains. They are a perverse and corrupt people.
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 any way to repay the Lord, you foolish, stupid people? Isn't he your Father who created you? Isn't he the one who turned you into a nation and made you strong?
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 Remember the olden days; think about times long ago. God and ask your father, and he will explain them to you. Talk to your elders, and they will let you know.
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 The Most High gave the nations their lands when he divided the human race; he fixed their borders depending on their gods.
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 But the Lord's people are his, Israel is his chosen one.
耶和华的分本是他的百姓； 他的产业本是雅各。
10 He found you in a desert land, in a desolate wasteland of whirlwinds. He protected you; he cared for you; he looked after you as the one he loved the most.
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 Like an eagle watching over its nest, hovering over its chicks, he spread his wings and picked you up and carried you along.
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 The Lord was the only one who led you; no foreign god was with him.
这样，耶和华独自引导他， 并无外邦神与他同在。
13 The Lord gave you the high country to rule, and fed you with the crops of the field to eat. He sustained you with honey from the rock and olive oil from the flinty crag,
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 with yogurt from the herd and milk from the flock, with the fat of lambs, with rams from Bashan, and goats, along with the best wheat. You drank the wine made from the best grapes.
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 Israel, you grew fat and rebelled—fat, overweight, and bloated with food. You abandoned the God who made you and despised the Rock of your 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 You made the Lord jealous by worshiping foreign gods; you made him angry with such disgusting practices.
敬拜别神，触动 神的愤恨， 行可憎恶的事，惹了他的怒气。
17 You offered sacrifices to demons instead of God, to gods you didn't know anything about, to brand-new gods that your forefathers didn't worship.
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 dismissed the Rock who fathered you; you forgot the God who gave birth to you.
你轻忽生你的磐石， 忘记产你的 神。
19 The Lord rejected them when he saw this; his sons and daughters made him angry.
耶和华看见他的儿女惹动他， 就厌恶他们，说：
20 He said: “I will turn away from them. Then I'll see what happens to them! They are a perverse people, unfaithful children.
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 made me jealous by worshiping things that are not God; they have made me angry with their useless idols. So I will make them jealous using a people that aren't really a nation; I will make them angry using ignorant foreigners.
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 My anger has been set on fire, burning down to the depths of the grave, destroying the earth and all it produces, even setting fire to the foundations 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 pile disasters on them; I will use up my arrows shooting at them.
我要将祸患堆在他们身上， 把我的箭向他们射尽。
24 They will waste away from hunger, destroyed by disease and poisonous plague. I will send wild animals to bite them with their teeth, the fangs of snakes that slide along the ground.
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 in the streets the sword kills their children, inside their homes, they die from fright; young men and young women, children and old people.
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 would have told them I was going to cut them to pieces and wipe out even the memory of them;
我说，我必将他们分散远方， 使他们的名号从人间除灭。
27 but I didn't want to hear their conquerors jeering, their enemies misunderstanding what had happened and saying, ‘We won all by ourselves, the Lord didn't have anything to do with it.’
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 Israel is a nation that doesn't think straight; none of them understand anything.
因为以色列民毫无计谋， 心中没有聪明。
29 How I wish they were wise, so they could understand it; they would recognize what was going to happen to them.
惟愿他们有智慧， 能明白这事，肯思念他们的结局。
30 How on earth could one man chase after a thousand, or two make ten thousand run away, unless their Rock of protection had sold them, unless the Lord had surrendered them?
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 The rock they rely on is not like our Rock, as even our enemies admit.
据我们的仇敌自己断定， 他们的磐石不如我们的磐石。
32 But their vine comes from the vine of Sodom, from the fields of Gomorrah. Their grapes are poisonous; they are bitter bunches.
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 serpents, deadly snake venom.
他们的酒是大蛇的毒气， 是虺蛇残害的恶毒。
34 I've stored this all up; it's sealed in my vaults.
这不都是积蓄在我这里， 封锁在我府库中吗？
35 I make sure justice is done, I will repay. The time is coming when they will fall, their day of disaster is approaching, their doom will soon arrive.”
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 The Lord is going to vindicate his people; he will be merciful to his servants when he sees that they have no strength left, and that everyone is gone, whether slave 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 He'll ask, “What happened to your gods, the rock where your went for protection?
他必说：他们的神， 他们所投靠的磐石，
38 Who ate the fat of your sacrifices and drank the wine of your drink offerings? Have them come and help you; have them come and protect you!
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 Listen! I am the only God! There is no other God except me! I bring death, and I give life; I wound, and I heal. No one can be rescued from my power.
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 I hold up my hand to heaven and solemnly declare on my eternal life,
我向天举手说： 我凭我的永生起誓：
41 when I sharpen my shining sword and pick it up to execute judgment, I will repay my enemies and punish those who hate me as they deserve.
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 My arrows will become drunk with blood, as my sword eats flesh; the blood of those who are killed and captured, the heads of the enemy's leaders.”
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 Celebrate with him! Let all God's angels worship him! Celebrate, foreigners, with his people; because he will pay back those who killed his children. He will punish his enemies, and repay those who hate him; he will purify his land and 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 Then Moses came with Joshua son of Nun and recited all the words of this song for the people to hear.
摩西和嫩的儿子约书亚去将这歌的一切话说给百姓听。
45 After Moses finished reciting the whole song to all the Israelites,
摩西向以色列众人说完了这一切的话，
46 he told them, “Think about all these words I've declared to you today, so you can order your children to follow carefully everything in 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 Don't treat these words as trivial because they are your life, and by them you will have long lives in the country that you will own after crossing the Jordan.”
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 told Moses,
当日，耶和华吩咐摩西说：
49 “Climb up into the Abarim mountains to Mount Nebo, in the land of Moab opposite Jericho, and look over the country of Canaan, which I am giving to the Israelites for them to own.
“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 There on the mountain you've climbed, you will die and join your people in death, in the same way your brother Aaron died on Mount Hor and joined 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 For there at the waters of Meribah-kadesh in the Desert of Zin, you both were unfaithful to me. You misrepresented me to the Israelites when you didn't treat me as holy in their presence.
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 Though you will see the country that I am giving the Israelites from a distance, you won't enter it.”
我所赐给以色列人的地，你可以远远地观看，却不得进去。”
