申命記 16

1 你應遵守「阿彼布」月，為上主你的天主舉行逾越節，因為在「阿彼布」月的一個夜裏，上主你的天主領你出了埃及。

Observe the month of new [corn], and thou shalt sacrifice the passover to the Lord thy God; because in the month of new corn thou camest out of Egypt by night.

2 你應在上主所選定立自己名號的地方，給上主你的天主祭殺牛羊，作為逾越節犧牲。

And thou shalt sacrifice the passover to the Lord thy God, sheep and oxen in the place which the Lord thy God shall choose to have his name called upon it.

3 吃這祭肉時，不可吃發酵餅；七天之內，當吃無酵餅，即困苦餅，因為你曾倉猝地走來出了埃及地。為此你一生應天天記念你出埃及的日子。

Thou shalt not eat leaven with it; seven days shalt thou eat unleavened [bread] with it, bread of affliction, because ye came forth out of Egypt in haste; that ye may remember the day of your coming forth out of the land of Egypt all the days of your life.

4 七天之久，在你全境內不許見到酵母；你前一天晚上祭獻的牲肉，不可有剩下的，留到早晨。

Leaven shall not be seen with thee in all thy borders for seven days, and there shall not be left of the flesh which thou shalt sacrifice at even on the first day until the morning.

5 你不可在上主你的天主賜給你的任何城鎮內，祭殺逾越節犧牲；

thou shalt not have power to sacrifice the passover in any of the cities, which the Lord thy God gives thee.

6 只可在上主你的天主所選定立自己名號的地方，晚上太陽快落時，就是你出埃及的時刻，祭殺逾越節犧牲。

But in the place which the Lord thy God shall choose, to have his name called there, thou shalt sacrifice the passover at even at the setting of the sun, at the time when thou camest out of Egypt.

7 並應在上主你的天主所選定的地方，將祭牲煮熟分食；到了早晨，你可回到你的帳棚中去。

And thou shalt boil and roast and eat it in the place, which the Lord thy God shall choose; and thou shalt return in the morning, and go to thy house.

8 六天內應吃無酵餅，到第七天，應為上主你的天主召開盛會，任何勞工都不許做。

Six days shalt thou eat unleavened bread, and on the seventh day is a holiday, a feast to the Lord thy God: thou shalt not do in it any work, save what must be done by any one.

9 你應數七個星期，從鐮刀收割莊稼算起，數七個星期，

Seven weeks shalt thou number to thyself; when thou hast begun [to put] the sickle to the corn, thou shalt begin to number seven weeks.

10 為上主你的天主舉行七七節，照上主你的天主祝福你的，獻上你手中自願獻的祭品。

And thou shalt keep the feast of weeks to the Lord thy God, accordingly as thy hand has power in as many things as the Lord thy God shall give thee.

11 你和你的兒女、僕婢，以及在你城鎮內的肋未人，在你中間的外方人、孤兒和寡婦，都應在上主你的天主所選定立自己名號的地方，於上主你的天主面前歡樂。

And thou shalt rejoice before the Lord thy God, thou and thy son, and thy daughter, thy man-servant and thy maid-servant, and the Levite, and the stranger, and the orphan, and the widow which dwells among you, in whatsoever place the Lord thy God shall choose, that his name should be called there.

12 應記得你在埃及也曾做過奴隸，所以應謹守遵行這些法令。

And thou shalt remember that thou wast a servant in the land of Egypt, and thou shalt observe and do these commands.

13 你由禾場和榨酒池內收藏了出產以後，應七天舉行帳棚節。

Thou shalt keep for thyself the feast of tabernacles seven days, when thou gatherest in [thy produce] from thy corn-floor and thy wine-press.

14 在這慶節內，你和你的兒女、僕婢，以及在你城鎮內的肋未人、外方人、孤兒和寡婦都應歡樂。

And thou shalt rejoice in thy feast, thou, and thy son, and thy daughter, thy man-servant, and thy maid-servant, and the Levite, and the stranger, and the orphan, and the widow that is in thy cities.

15 你應在上主所選定的地方，為上主你的天主舉行這慶節七天，因為上主你的天主，要在你的一切收穫和你著手進行的一切事業上祝福你，使你滿心喜樂。

Seven days shalt thou keep a feast to the Lord thy God in the place which the Lord thy God shall choose for himself; and if the Lord thy God shall bless thee in all thy fruits, and in every work of thy hands, then thou shalt rejoice.

16 每年三次，即在無酵節、七七節和帳棚節，你所有的男子都應到上主所選的地方去，朝拜上主你的天主；但不要空手出現在上主面前，

Three times in the year shall all thy males appear before the Lord thy God in the place which the Lord shall choose in the feast of unleavened bread, and in the feast of weeks, and in the feast of tabernacles: thou shalt not appear before the Lord thy God empty.

17 每人應照上主你的天主賜與你的，依自己的財力，奉獻禮品。

Each one according to his ability, according to the blessing of the Lord thy God which he has given thee.

18 在上主你的天主賜給你的各城鎮內，要為各支派設立判官和書記，他們應按照公道審判人民，

Thou shalt make for thyself judges and officers in thy cities, which the Lord thy God gives thee in [thy] tribes, and they shall judge the people with righteous judgment:

19 不可違犯公平，不可徇情顧面，不可接受賄賂，因為賄賂令智慧人的眼目失明；

they shall not wrest judgment, nor favour persons, nor receive a gift; for gifts blind the eyes of the wise, and pervert the words of the righteous.

20 只應追求公道與正義，好叫你能生存，佔有上主你的天主賜給你的土地。

Thou shalt justly pursue justice, that ye may live, and go in and inherit the land which the Lord thy God gives thee.

21 在你為上主你的天主所建的祭壇旁，不許豎立任何木頭的神柱；

Thou shalt not plant for thyself a grove; thou shalt not plant for thyself any tree near the altar of thy God.

22 也不可立置上主你的天主所憎惡的石碣。

Thou shalt not set up for thyself a pillar, which the Lord thy God hates.
