< Deuteronomy 32 >

1 Give ear, ye heavens, and I will speak; and let the earth hear 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 doctrine shall drop as the rain, my speech shall distil as the dew; as the small rain upon the tender grass, and as the showers upon the herb.
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 proclaim the name of the LORD; ascribe ye greatness unto our God.
我要宣告耶和华的名; 你们要将大德归与我们的 神。
4 The Rock, His work is perfect; for all His ways are justice; a God of faithfulness and without iniquity, just and right 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 Is corruption His? No; His children's is the blemish; a generation crooked and perverse.
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 Do ye thus requite the LORD, O foolish people and unwise? is not He thy father that hath gotten thee? hath He not made thee, and established thee?
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 days of old, consider the years of many generations; ask thy father, and he will declare unto thee, thine elders, and they will tell thee.
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 to the nations their inheritance, when He separated the children of men, He set the borders of the peoples according to 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 portion of the LORD is His people, Jacob the lot of His inheritance.
耶和华的分本是他的百姓; 他的产业本是雅各。
10 He found him in a desert land, and in the waste, a howling wilderness; He compassed him about, He cared for him, He kept him as the apple 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 that stirreth up her nest, hovereth over her young, spreadeth abroad her wings, taketh them, beareth them on her pinions —
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 alone did lead him, and there was no strange god with Him.
这样,耶和华独自引导他, 并无外邦神与他同在。
13 He made him ride on the high places of the earth, and he did eat the fruitage of the field; and He made him to suck honey out of the crag, and oil out of the flinty 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 Curd of kine, and milk of sheep, with fat of lambs, and rams of the breed of Bashan, and he-goats, with the kidney-fat of wheat; and of the blood of the grape thou drankest foaming wine.
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 waxed fat, and kicked — thou didst wax fat, thou didst grow thick, thou didst become gross — and he forsook God who made him, and contemned 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 They roused Him to jealousy with strange gods, with abominations did they provoke Him.
敬拜别神,触动 神的愤恨, 行可憎恶的事,惹了他的怒气。
17 They sacrificed unto demons, no-gods, gods that they knew not, new gods that came up of late, which your fathers dreaded not.
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 Of the Rock that begot thee thou wast unmindful, and didst forget God that bore thee.
你轻忽生你的磐石, 忘记产你的 神。
19 And the LORD saw, and spurned, because of the provoking of His sons and His daughters.
耶和华看见他的儿女惹动他, 就厌恶他们,说:
20 And He said: 'I will hide My face from them, I will see what their end shall be; for they are a very froward generation, children in whom is no faithfulness.
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 roused Me to jealousy with a no-god; they have provoked Me with their vanities; and I will rouse them to jealousy with a no-people; I will provoke them with a vile 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 a fire is kindled in My nostril, and burneth unto the depths of the nether-world, and devoureth the earth with her produce, and setteth ablaze 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 heap evils upon them; I will spend Mine arrows upon them;
我要将祸患堆在他们身上, 把我的箭向他们射尽。
24 The wasting of hunger, and the devouring of the fiery bolt, and bitter destruction; and the teeth of beasts will I send upon them, with the venom of crawling things 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 Without shall the sword bereave, and in the chambers terror; slaying both young man and virgin, the suckling with the man of gray hairs.
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 thought I would make an end of them, I would make their memory cease from among men;
我说,我必将他们分散远方, 使他们的名号从人间除灭。
27 Were it not that I dreaded the enemy's provocation, lest their adversaries should misdeem, lest they should say: Our hand is exalted, and not the LORD hath wrought 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 void of counsel, and there is no understanding in them.
因为以色列民毫无计谋, 心中没有聪明。
29 If they were wise, they would understand this, they would discern their latter end.
惟愿他们有智慧, 能明白这事,肯思念他们的结局。
30 How should one chase a thousand, and two put ten thousand to flight, except their Rock had given them over and the LORD had delivered 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 as our Rock, even our enemies 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 of the vine of Sodom, and of the fields of Gomorrah; their grapes are grapes of gall, their clusters 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 venom of serpents, and the cruel poison of asps.
他们的酒是大蛇的毒气, 是虺蛇残害的恶毒。
34 'Is not this laid up in store with Me, sealed up in My treasuries?
这不都是积蓄在我这里, 封锁在我府库中吗?
35 Vengeance is Mine, and recompense, against the time when their foot shall slip; for the day of their calamity is at hand, and the things that are to come upon them shall make haste.
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 judge His people, and repent Himself for His servants; when He seeth that their stay is gone, and there is none remaining, shut up or left at large.
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 it is said: Where are their gods, the rock in whom they trusted;
他必说:他们的神, 他们所投靠的磐石,
38 Who did eat the fat of their sacrifices, and drank the wine of their drink-offering? let him rise up and help you, let him be your protection.
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 that I, even I, am He, and there is no god with Me; I kill, and I make alive; I have wounded, and I heal; and there is none that can deliver out of 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 I lift up My hand to heaven, and say: As I live for ever,
我向天举手说: 我凭我的永生起誓:
41 If I whet My glittering sword, and My hand take hold on judgment; I will render vengeance to Mine adversaries, and will recompense them that hate Me.
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 Mine arrows drunk with blood, and My sword shall devour flesh; with the blood of the slain and the captives, from the long-haired heads of the enemy.'
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 Sing aloud, O ye nations, of His people; for He doth avenge the blood of His servants, and doth render vengeance to His adversaries, and doth make expiation for the land of 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 And Moses came and spoke all the words of this song in the ears 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 when Moses made an end of speaking all these words to all Israel,
摩西向以色列众人说完了这一切的话,
46 he said unto them: 'Set your heart unto all the words wherewith I testify against you this day; that ye may charge your children therewith to observe to do all the words 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 For it is no vain thing for you; because it is your life, and through this thing ye shall prolong your days upon the land, whither ye go over the Jordan to possess it.'
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 And the LORD spoke unto Moses that selfsame day, saying:
当日,耶和华吩咐摩西说:
49 'Get thee up into this mountain of Abarim, unto mount Nebo, which is in the land of Moab, that is over against Jericho; and behold the land of Canaan, which I give unto the children of Israel for a possession;
“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 die in the mount whither thou goest up, and be gathered unto thy people; as Aaron thy brother died in mount Hor, and was gathered unto 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 ye trespassed against Me in the midst of the children of Israel at the waters of Meribath-kadesh, in the wilderness of Zin; because ye sanctified Me not in the midst of 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 For thou shalt see the land afar off; but thou shalt not go thither into the land which I give 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。”
