申命记 4
1 “以色列人哪，现在我所教训你们的律例典章，你们要听从遵行，好叫你们存活，得以进入耶和华—你们列祖之 神所赐给你们的地，承受为业。
And now, Israel, hearken to the statutes and to the ordinances which I teach you, to do [them], that ye may live, and go in and possess the land which Jehovah the God of your fathers giveth you.
2 所吩咐你们的话，你们不可加添，也不可删减，好叫你们遵守我所吩咐的，就是耶和华—你们 神的命令。
Ye shall not add to the word which I command you, neither shall ye take from it, that ye may keep the commandments of Jehovah your God which I command you.
3 耶和华因巴力·毗珥的事所行的，你们亲眼看见了。凡随从巴力·毗珥的人，耶和华—你们的 神都从你们中间除灭了。
Your eyes have seen what Jehovah did because of Baal-Peor; for all the men that followed Baal-Peor, Jehovah thy God hath destroyed them from among you;
4 惟有你们专靠耶和华—你们 神的人，今日全都存活。
but ye that did cleave to Jehovah your God are alive every one of you this day.
5 我照着耶和华—我 神所吩咐的将律例典章教训你们，使你们在所要进去得为业的地上遵行。
See, I have taught you statutes and ordinances, even as Jehovah my God commanded me, that ye may do so in the land into which ye enter to possess it.
6 所以你们要谨守遵行；这就是你们在万民眼前的智慧、聪明。他们听见这一切律例，必说：‘这大国的人真是有智慧，有聪明！’
And ye shall keep and do them; for that will be your wisdom and your understanding before the eyes of the peoples that shall hear all these statutes, and say, Verily this great nation is a wise and understanding people.
7 哪一大国的人有神与他们相近，像耶和华—我们的 神、在我们求告他的时候与我们相近呢？
For what great nation is there that hath God near to them as Jehovah our God is in everything we call upon him for?
8 又哪一大国有这样公义的律例典章、像我今日在你们面前所陈明的这一切律法呢？
And what great nation is there that hath righteous statutes and ordinances, as all this law which I set before you this day?
9 “你只要谨慎，殷勤保守你的心灵，免得忘记你亲眼所看见的事，又免得你一生、这事离开你的心；总要传给你的子子孙孙。
Only take heed to thyself, and keep thy soul diligently, lest thou forget the things that thine eyes have seen (and lest they depart from thy heart all the days of thy life; but thou shalt make them known to thy sons and to thy sons' sons),
10 你在何烈山站在耶和华—你 神面前的那日，耶和华对我说：‘你为我招聚百姓，我要叫他们听见我的话，使他们存活在世的日子，可以学习敬畏我，又可以教训儿女这样行。’
the day that thou stoodest before Jehovah thy God in Horeb, when Jehovah said to me, Gather me the people together, that I may cause them to hear my words, that they may learn them, and fear me all the days that they live upon the earth, and teach them to their children.
11 那时你们近前来，站在山下；山上有火焰冲天，并有昏黑、密云、幽暗。
And ye came near and stood under the mountain; and the mountain burned with fire to the heart of heaven, with darkness, clouds, and obscurity.
12 耶和华从火焰中对你们说话，你们只听见声音，却没有看见形象。
And Jehovah spoke to you from the midst of the fire: ye heard the voice of the words, but ye saw no form; only [ye heard] a voice.
13 他将所吩咐你们当守的约指示你们，就是十条诫，并将这诫写在两块石版上。
And he declared to you his covenant, which he commanded you to do, the ten words; and he wrote them on two tables of stone.
14 那时耶和华又吩咐我将律例典章教训你们，使你们在所要过去得为业的地上遵行。”
And Jehovah commanded me at that time to teach you statutes and ordinances, that ye might do them in the land whither ye are passing over to possess it.
15 “所以，你们要分外谨慎；因为耶和华在何烈山、从火中对你们说话的那日，你们没有看见什么形象。
And take great heed to your souls (for ye saw no form on the day that Jehovah spoke to you in Horeb from the midst of the fire),
16 惟恐你们败坏自己，雕刻偶像，仿佛什么男像女像，
lest ye corrupt yourselves, and make you a graven image, the form of any figure, the pattern of male or female,
17 或地上走兽的像，或空中飞鸟的像，
the pattern of any beast that is on the earth, the pattern of any winged fowl that flieth in the heaven,
18 或地上爬物的像，或地底下水中鱼的像。
the pattern of anything that creepeth on the ground, the pattern of any fish that is in the waters under the earth;
19 又恐怕你向天举目观看，见耶和华—你的 神为天下万民所摆列的日月星，就是天上的万象，自己便被勾引敬拜事奉它。
and lest thou lift up thine eyes to the heavens, and see the sun, and the moon, and the stars, the whole host of heaven, and be drawn away and bow down to them and serve them, which Jehovah thy God hath assigned unto all peoples under the whole heaven.
20 耶和华将你们从埃及领出来，脱离铁炉，要特作自己产业的子民，像今日一样。
But you hath Jehovah taken, and hath brought you forth out of the iron furnace, out of Egypt, that ye might be to him a people of inheritance, as it is this day.
21 耶和华又因你们的缘故向我发怒，起誓必不容我过约旦河，也不容我进入耶和华—你 神所赐你为业的那美地。
And Jehovah was angry with me on your account, and swore that I should not go over the Jordan, and that I should not enter in to that good land which Jehovah thy God giveth thee [for] an inheritance;
22 我只得死在这地，不能过约旦河；但你们必过去得那美地。
for I shall die in this land, I shall not go over the Jordan; but ye shall go over, and possess this good land.
23 你们要谨慎，免得忘记耶和华—你们 神与你们所立的约，为自己雕刻偶像，就是耶和华—你 神所禁止你做的偶像；
Take heed to yourselves lest ye forget the covenant of Jehovah your God, which he made with you, and make yourselves a graven image, the form of anything which Jehovah thy God hath forbidden thee.
24 因为耶和华—你的 神乃是烈火，是忌邪的 神。
For Jehovah thy God is a consuming fire, a jealous God.
25 “你们在那地住久了，生子生孙，就雕刻偶像，仿佛什么形象，败坏自己，行耶和华—你 神眼中看为恶的事，惹他发怒。
When thou begettest sons, and sons' sons, and ye have remained long in the land, and shall corrupt yourselves, and make a graven image, the form of anything, and do evil in the sight of Jehovah thy God, to provoke him to anger,
26 我今日呼天唤地向你们作见证，你们必在过约旦河得为业的地上速速灭尽！你们不能在那地上长久，必尽行除灭。
I call heaven and earth to witness against you this day, that ye shall soon utterly perish from off the land whereunto ye pass over the Jordan to possess it: ye shall not prolong your days on it, but shall be utterly destroyed.
27 耶和华必使你们分散在万民中；在他所领你们到的万国里，你们剩下的人数稀少。
And Jehovah will scatter you among the peoples, and ye shall be left a small company among the nations to which Jehovah will lead you.
28 在那里，你们必事奉人手所造的神，就是用木石造成、不能看、不能听、不能吃、不能闻的神。
And ye shall there serve gods, the work of men's hands, wood and stone, which neither see, nor hear, nor eat, nor smell.
29 但你们在那里必寻求耶和华—你的 神。你尽心尽性寻求他的时候，就必寻见。
And from thence ye shall seek Jehovah thy God, and thou shalt find him, if thou shalt seek him with thy whole heart and with thy whole soul.
30 日后你遭遇一切患难的时候，你必归回耶和华—你的 神，听从他的话。
In thy tribulation, and when all these things shall come upon thee, at the end of days, thou shalt return to Jehovah thy God, and shalt hearken to his voice,
31 耶和华—你 神原是有怜悯的 神；他总不撇下你，不灭绝你，也不忘记他起誓与你列祖所立的约。
— for Jehovah thy God is a merciful God, — he will not forsake thee, neither destroy thee, nor forget the covenant of thy fathers which he swore unto them.
32 “你且考察在你以前的世代，自 神造人在世以来，从天这边到天那边，曾有何民听见 神在火中说话的声音，像你听见还能存活呢？这样的大事何曾有、何曾听见呢？
For ask now of the days that are past, which were before thee, since the day that God created man on the earth, and from one end of the heavens to the other end of the heavens, whether there hath been anything as this great thing is, or if anything hath been heard like it?
Did [ever] people hear the voice of God speaking from the midst of the fire, as thou hast heard, and live?
34 神何曾从别的国中将一国的人民领出来，用试验、神迹、奇事、争战、大能的手，和伸出来的膀臂，并大可畏的事，像耶和华—你们的 神在埃及，在你们眼前为你们所行的一切事呢？
Or hath God essayed to come to take him a nation from the midst of a nation, by trials, by signs, and by wonders, and by war, and by a powerful hand, and by a stretched-out arm, and by great terrors, according to all that Jehovah your God did for you in Egypt before your eyes?
35 这是显给你看，要使你知道，惟有耶和华—他是 神，除他以外，再无别神。
Unto thee it was shewn, that thou mightest know that Jehovah, he is God — there is none other besides him.
36 他从天上使你听见他的声音，为要教训你，又在地上使你看见他的烈火，并且听见他从火中所说的话。
From the heavens he made thee hear his voice, that he might instruct thee; and on the earth he shewed thee his great fire; and thou heardest his words from the midst of the fire.
37 因他爱你的列祖，所以拣选他们的后裔，用大能亲自领你出了埃及，
And because he loved thy fathers, and chose their seed after them, he brought thee out with his countenance, with his great power, out of Egypt,
38 要将比你强大的国民从你面前赶出，领你进去，将他们的地赐你为业，像今日一样。
to dispossess nations from before thee greater and mightier than thou art, to bring thee in, to give thee their land for an inheritance, as it is this day.
39 所以，今日你要知道，也要记在心上，天上地下惟有耶和华他是 神，除他以外，再无别神。
Thou shalt know therefore this day, and consider it in thy heart, that Jehovah, he is God in the heavens above, and on the earth beneath: [there is] none else.
40 我今日将他的律例诫命晓谕你，你要遵守，使你和你的子孙可以得福，并使你的日子在耶和华—你 神所赐的地上得以长久。”
And thou shalt keep his statutes, and his commandments, which I command thee this day, that it may be well with thee and with thy sons after thee, and that thou mayest prolong thy days on the land which Jehovah thy God giveth thee, for ever.
41 “那时，摩西在约旦河东，向日出之地，分定三座城，
Then Moses separated three cities on this side the Jordan toward the sun-rising,
42 使那素无仇恨、无心杀了人的，可以逃到这三城之中的一座城，就得存活：
that the manslayer might flee thither, who should kill his neighbour unawares, and hated him not previously, that fleeing to one of these cities, he might live:
43 为吕便人分定旷野平原的比悉；为迦得人分定基列的拉末；为玛拿西人分定巴珊的哥兰。”
Bezer in the wilderness, in the plateau, of the Reubenites, and Ramoth in Gilead, of the Gadites, and Golan in Bashan, of the Manassites.
44 摩西在以色列人面前所陈明的律法—
And this is the law which Moses set before the children of Israel:
45 就是摩西在以色列人出埃及后所传给他们的法度、律例、典章；
these are the testimonies, and the statutes, and the ordinances that Moses declared to the children of Israel, when they came out of Egypt,
46 在约旦河东伯·毗珥对面的谷中，在住希实本、亚摩利王西宏之地；这西宏是摩西和以色列人出埃及后所击杀的。
on this side the Jordan, in the valley opposite to Beth-Peor, in the land of Sihon the king of the Amorites, who dwelt in Heshbon, whom Moses and the children of Israel smote when they came out of Egypt;
47 他们得了他的地，又得了巴珊王噩的地，就是两个亚摩利王，在约旦河东向日出之地。
and they took possession of his land, and the land of Og the king of Bashan, two kings of the Amorites, who were on this side the Jordan, toward the sun-rising;
48 从亚嫩谷边的亚罗珥，直到西云山，就是黑门山。
from Aroer, which is on the bank of the river Arnon, as far as mount Sion, which is Hermon,
49 还有约旦河东的全亚拉巴，直到亚拉巴海，靠近毗斯迦山根。
and all the plain on this side the Jordan, eastward, and as far as the sea of the plain, under the slopes of Pisgah.
