< Deuteronomy 5 >

1 Moses called to all Israel, and said to them, “Hear, Israel, the statutes and the ordinances which I speak in your ears today, that you may learn them, and observe to do them.”
摩西将以色列众人召了来,对他们说:“以色列人哪,我今日晓谕你们的律例典章,你们要听,可以学习,谨守遵行。
2 The LORD our God made a covenant with us in Horeb.
耶和华—我们的 神在何烈山与我们立约。
3 The LORD didn’t make this covenant with our fathers, but with us, even us, who are all of us here alive today.
这约不是与我们列祖立的,乃是与我们今日在这里存活之人立的。
4 The LORD spoke with you face to face on the mountain out of the middle of the fire,
耶和华在山上,从火中,面对面与你们说话—
5 (I stood between the LORD and you at that time, to show you the LORD’s word; for you were afraid because of the fire, and didn’t go up onto the mountain) saying,
那时我站在耶和华和你们中间,要将耶和华的话传给你们;因为你们惧怕那火,没有上山—说:
6 “I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
“‘我是耶和华—你的 神,曾将你从埃及地为奴之家领出来。
7 “You shall have no other gods before me.
“‘除了我以外,你不可有别的神。
8 “You shall not make a carved image for yourself—any likeness of what is in heaven above, or what is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth.
“‘不可为自己雕刻偶像,也不可做什么形象,仿佛上天、下地和地底下、水中的百物。
9 You shall not bow yourself down to them, nor serve them, for I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children and on the third and on the fourth generation of those who hate me
不可跪拜那些像,也不可事奉它,因为我耶和华—你的 神是忌邪的 神。恨我的,我必追讨他的罪,自父及子,直到三、四代;
10 and showing loving kindness to thousands of those who love me and keep my commandments.
爱我、守我诫命的,我必向他们发慈爱,直到千代。
11 “You shall not misuse the name of the LORD your God; for the LORD will not hold him guiltless who misuses his name.
“‘不可妄称耶和华—你 神的名;因为妄称耶和华名的,耶和华必不以他为无罪。
12 “Observe the Sabbath day, to keep it holy, as the LORD your God commanded you.
“‘当照耶和华—你 神所吩咐的守安息日为圣日。
13 You shall labour six days, and do all your work;
六日要劳碌做你一切的工,
14 but the seventh day is a Sabbath to the LORD your God, in which you shall not do any work—neither you, nor your son, nor your daughter, nor your male servant, nor your female servant, nor your ox, nor your donkey, nor any of your livestock, nor your stranger who is within your gates; that your male servant and your female servant may rest as well as you.
但第七日是向耶和华—你 神当守的安息日。这一日,你和你的儿女、仆婢、牛、驴、牲畜,并在你城里寄居的客旅,无论何工都不可做,使你的仆婢可以和你一样安息。
15 You shall remember that you were a servant in the land of Egypt, and the LORD your God brought you out of there by a mighty hand and by an outstretched arm. Therefore the LORD your God commanded you to keep the Sabbath day.
你也要记念你在埃及地作过奴仆;耶和华—你 神用大能的手和伸出来的膀臂将你从那里领出来。因此,耶和华—你的 神吩咐你守安息日。
16 “Honour your father and your mother, as the LORD your God commanded you, that your days may be long and that it may go well with you in the land which the LORD your God gives you.
“‘当照耶和华—你 神所吩咐的孝敬父母,使你得福,并使你的日子在耶和华—你 神所赐你的地上得以长久。
17 “You shall not murder.
“‘不可杀人。
18 “You shall not commit adultery.
“‘不可奸淫。
19 “You shall not steal.
“‘不可偷盗。
20 “You shall not give false testimony against your neighbour.
“‘不可作假见证陷害人。
21 “You shall not covet your neighbour’s wife. Neither shall you desire your neighbour’s house, his field, or his male servant, or his female servant, his ox, or his donkey, or anything that is your neighbour’s.”
“‘不可贪恋人的妻子;也不可贪图人的房屋、田地、仆婢、牛、驴,并他一切所有的。’
22 The LORD spoke these words to all your assembly on the mountain out of the middle of the fire, of the cloud, and of the thick darkness, with a great voice. He added no more. He wrote them on two stone tablets, and gave them to me.
“这些话是耶和华在山上,从火中、云中、幽暗中,大声晓谕你们全会众的;此外并没有添别的话。他就把这话写在两块石版上,交给我了。”
23 When you heard the voice out of the middle of the darkness, while the mountain was burning with fire, you came near to me, even all the heads of your tribes, and your elders;
“那时,火焰烧山,你们听见从黑暗中出来的声音;你们支派中所有的首领和长老都来就近我,
24 and you said, “Behold, the LORD our God has shown us his glory and his greatness, and we have heard his voice out of the middle of the fire. We have seen today that God does speak with man, and he lives.
说:‘看哪,耶和华—我们 神将他的荣光和他的大能显给我们看,我们又听见他的声音从火中出来。今日我们得见 神与人说话,人还存活。
25 Now therefore, why should we die? For this great fire will consume us. If we hear the LORD our God’s voice any more, then we shall die.
现在这大火将要烧灭我们,我们何必冒死呢?若再听见耶和华—我们 神的声音就必死亡。
26 For who is there of all flesh who has heard the voice of the living God speaking out of the middle of the fire, as we have, and lived?
凡属血气的,曾有何人听见永生 神的声音从火中出来,像我们听见还能存活呢?
27 Go near, and hear all that the LORD our God shall say, and tell us all that the LORD our God tells you; and we will hear it, and do it.”
求你近前去,听耶和华—我们 神所要说的一切话,将他对你说的话都传给我们,我们就听从遵行。’
28 The LORD heard the voice of your words when you spoke to me; and the LORD said to me, “I have heard the voice of the words of this people which they have spoken to you. They have well said all that they have spoken.
“你们对我说的话,耶和华都听见了。耶和华对我说:‘这百姓的话,我听见了;他们所说的都是。
29 Oh that there were such a heart in them that they would fear me and keep all my commandments always, that it might be well with them and with their children forever!
惟愿他们存这样的心敬畏我,常遵守我的一切诫命,使他们和他们的子孙永远得福。
30 “Go tell them, ‘Return to your tents.’
你去对他们说:你们回帐棚去吧!
31 But as for you, stand here by me, and I will tell you all the commandments, and the statutes, and the ordinances, which you shall teach them, that they may do them in the land which I give them to possess.”
至于你,可以站在我这里,我要将一切诫命、律例、典章传给你;你要教训他们,使他们在我赐他们为业的地上遵行。’
32 You shall observe to do therefore as the LORD your God has commanded you. You shall not turn away to the right hand or to the left.
所以,你们要照耶和华—你们 神所吩咐的谨守遵行,不可偏离左右。
33 You shall walk in all the way which the LORD your God has commanded you, that you may live and that it may be well with you, and that you may prolong your days in the land which you shall possess.
耶和华—你们 神所吩咐你们行的,你们都要去行,使你们可以存活得福,并使你们的日子在所要承受的地上得以长久。”
