申命记 1
1 以下所记的是摩西在约旦河东的旷野、疏弗对面的亚拉巴—就是巴兰、陀弗、拉班、哈洗录、底撒哈中间—向以色列众人所说的话。（
These are the words which Moses spoke to all Israel on this side the Jordan, in the wilderness, in the plain, opposite to Suph, between Paran and Tophel, Laban, Hazeroth, and Dizahab.
2 从何烈山经过西珥山到加低斯·巴尼亚有十一天的路程。）
There are eleven days' journey from Horeb by the way of mount Seir to Kadesh-barnea.
3 出埃及第四十年十一月初一日，摩西照耶和华借着他所吩咐以色列人的话都晓谕他们。
And it came to pass in the fortieth year, in the eleventh month, on the first of the month, that Moses spoke to the children of Israel, according to all that Jehovah had given him in command to them;
4 那时，他已经击杀了住希实本的亚摩利王西宏和住以得来、亚斯他录的巴珊王噩。
after he had smitten Sihon the king of the Amorites, who dwelt at Heshbon, and Og the king of Bashan, who dwelt at Ashtaroth [and] at Edrei.
5 摩西在约旦河东的摩押地讲律法说：
On this side the Jordan, in the land of Moab, began Moses to unfold this law, saying,
6 “耶和华—我们的 神在何烈山晓谕我们说：你们在这山上住的日子够了；
Jehovah our God spoke unto us in Horeb, saying, Ye have stayed long enough in this mountain.
7 要起行转到亚摩利人的山地和靠近这山地的各处，就是亚拉巴、山地、高原、南地，沿海一带迦南人的地，并黎巴嫩山又到幼发拉底大河。
Turn and take your journey, and go to the hill-country of the Amorites, and unto all the neighbouring places in the plain, in the mountain, and in the lowland, and in the south, and by the seaside, the land of the Canaanites, and Lebanon, unto the great river, the river Euphrates.
8 如今我将这地摆在你们面前；你们要进去得这地，就是耶和华向你们列祖亚伯拉罕、以撒、雅各起誓应许赐给他们和他们后裔为业之地。”
Behold, I have set the land before you: go in and possess the land which Jehovah swore unto your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give unto them and to their seed after them.
9 “那时，我对你们说：‘管理你们的重任，我独自担当不起。
And I spoke unto you at that time, saying, I am not able to bear you myself alone.
10 耶和华—你们的 神使你们多起来。看哪，你们今日像天上的星那样多。
Jehovah your God hath multiplied you, and behold, ye are this day as the stars of heaven for multitude.
11 惟愿耶和华—你们列祖的 神使你们比如今更多千倍，照他所应许你们的话赐福与你们。
Jehovah, the God of your fathers, make you a thousand times so many more as ye are, and bless you as he hath said unto you!
12 但你们的麻烦，和管理你们的重任，并你们的争讼，我独自一人怎能担当得起呢？
How can I myself alone sustain your wear, and your burden, and your strife?
13 你们要按着各支派选举有智慧、有见识、为众人所认识的，我立他们为你们的首领。’
Provide you wise and understanding and known men, according to your tribes, that I may make them your chiefs.
14 你们回答我说：‘照你所说的行了为妙。’
And ye answered me, and said, The thing that thou hast spoken is good [for us] to do.
15 我便将你们各支派的首领，有智慧、为众人所认识的，照你们的支派，立他们为官长、千夫长、百夫长、五十夫长、十夫长，管理你们。
So I took the chiefs of your tribes, wise men and known, and made them chiefs over you, captains of thousands, and captains of hundreds, and captains of fifties, and captains of tens, and officers for your tribes.
16 “当时，我嘱咐你们的审判官说：‘你们听讼，无论是弟兄彼此争讼，是与同居的外人争讼，都要按公义判断。
And I commanded your judges at that time, saying, Hear [the causes] between your brethren, and judge righteously between a man and his brother, and him also that sojourneth with him.
17 审判的时候，不可看人的外貌；听讼不可分贵贱，不可惧怕人，因为审判是属乎 神的。若有难断的案件，可以呈到我这里，我就判断。’
Ye shall not respect persons in judgment: ye shall hear the small as well as the great; ye shall not be afraid of the face of man, for the judgment is God's; and the matter that is too hard for you shall ye bring to me, that I may hear it.
18 那时，我将你们所当行的事都吩咐你们了。”
And I commanded you at that time all the things that ye should do.
19 “我们照着耶和华—我们 神所吩咐的从何烈山起行，经过你们所看见那大而可怕的旷野，往亚摩利人的山地去，到了加低斯·巴尼亚。
And we departed from Horeb and went through all that great and terrible wilderness, which ye saw, on the way to the mountain of the Amorites, as Jehovah our God had commanded us; and we came to Kadesh-barnea.
20 我对你们说：‘你们已经到了耶和华—我们 神所赐给我们的亚摩利人之山地。
And I said unto you, Ye are come unto the mountain of the Amorites, which Jehovah our God giveth us.
21 看哪，耶和华—你的 神已将那地摆在你面前，你要照耶和华—你列祖的 神所说的上去得那地为业；不要惧怕，也不要惊惶。’
Behold, Jehovah thy God hath set the land before thee: go up, take possession, as Jehovah the God of thy fathers hath said unto thee; fear not, neither be dismayed.
22 你们都就近我来说：‘我们要先打发人去，为我们窥探那地，将我们上去该走何道，必进何城，都回报我们。’
And ye came near to me all of you, and said, We will send men before us, who shall examine the land for us, and bring us word again of the way by which we must go up, and of the cities to which we shall come.
23 这话我以为美，就从你们中间选了十二个人，每支派一人。
And the matter was good in mine eyes; and I took twelve men of you, one man for a tribe.
24 于是他们起身上山地去，到以实各谷，窥探那地。
And they turned and went up into the mountain, and came to the valley of Eshcol, and searched it out.
25 他们手里拿着那地的果子下来，到我们那里，回报说：‘耶和华—我们的 神所赐给我们的是美地。’
And they took of the fruit of the land in their hand, and brought it down unto us, and brought us answer, and said, The land is good that Jehovah our God hath given us.
26 “你们却不肯上去，竟违背了耶和华—你们 神的命令，
But ye would not go up, and rebelled against the word of Jehovah your God;
27 在帐棚内发怨言说：‘耶和华因为恨我们，所以将我们从埃及地领出来，要交在亚摩利人手中，除灭我们。
and ye murmured in your tents, and said, Because Jehovah hated us, he hath brought us forth out of the land of Egypt, to deliver us into the hand of the Amorites, to destroy us.
28 我们上哪里去呢？我们的弟兄使我们的心消化，说那地的民比我们又大又高，城邑又广大又坚固，高得顶天，并且我们在那里看见亚衲族的人。’
Whither shall we go up? Our brethren have made our hearts melt, saying, [They are] a people greater and taller than we; the cities are great and walled up to heaven; and moreover we have seen the sons of the Anakim there.
29 我就对你们说：‘不要惊恐，也不要怕他们。
And I said unto you, Be not afraid, neither fear them;
30 在你们前面行的耶和华—你们的 神必为你们争战，正如他在埃及和旷野，在你们眼前所行的一样。
Jehovah your God who goeth before you, he will fight for you, according to all that he did for you in Egypt before your eyes;
31 你们在旷野所行的路上，也曾见耶和华—你们的 神抚养你们，如同人抚养儿子一般，直等你们来到这地方。’
and in the wilderness where thou hast seen that Jehovah thy God bore thee, as a man doth bear his son, in all the way that ye went, until ye came to this place.
32 你们在这事上却不信耶和华—你们的 神。
But In this thing ye did not believe Jehovah your God,
33 他在路上，在你们前面行，为你们找安营的地方；夜间在火柱里，日间在云柱里，指示你们所当行的路。”
who went in the way before you, to search you out a place for your encamping, in fire by night, to shew you by what way ye should go, and in the cloud by day.
34 “耶和华听见你们这话，就发怒，起誓说：
And Jehovah heard the voice of your words, and was wroth, and swore, saying,
35 ‘这恶世代的人，连一个也不得见我起誓应许赐给你们列祖的美地；
None among these men, this evil generation, shall in any wise see that good land, which I swore to give unto your fathers!
36 惟有耶孚尼的儿子迦勒必得看见，并且我要将他所踏过的地赐给他和他的子孙，因为他专心跟从我。’
Except Caleb the son of Jephunneh, he shall see it, and to him will I give the land that he hath trodden upon, and to his children, because he hath wholly followed Jehovah.
37 耶和华为你的缘故也向我发怒，说：‘你必不得进入那地。
Also Jehovah was angry with me on your account, saying, Thou also shalt not go in thither.
38 伺候你、嫩的儿子约书亚，他必得进入那地；你要勉励他，因为他要使以色列人承受那地为业。
Joshua the son of Nun, who standeth before thee, he shall go in thither: strengthen him, for he shall cause Israel to inherit it.
39 并且你们的妇人孩子，就是你们所说、必被掳掠的，和今日不知善恶的儿女，必进入那地。我要将那地赐给他们，他们必得为业。
And your little ones, of whom ye said, They shall be a prey, and your children, who this day know neither good nor evil, they shall go in thither, and unto them will I give it, and they shall possess it.
40 至于你们，要转回，从红海的路往旷野去。’
But ye, turn, and take your journey into the wilderness by the way of the Red sea.
41 “那时，你们回答我说：‘我们得罪了耶和华，情愿照耶和华—我们 神一切所吩咐的上去争战。’于是你们各人带着兵器，争先上山地去了。
— And ye answered and said unto me, We have sinned against Jehovah, we will go up and fight, according to all that Jehovah our God hath commanded us. And ye girded on every man his weapons of war, and ye would go presumptuously up the hill.
42 耶和华吩咐我说：‘你对他们说：不要上去，也不要争战；因我不在你们中间，恐怕你们被仇敌杀败了。’
And Jehovah said to me, Say unto them, Go not up, neither fight; for I am not among you; lest ye be smitten before your enemies.
43 我就告诉了你们，你们却不听从，竟违背耶和华的命令，擅自上山地去了。
And I spoke unto you, but ye would not hear, and ye rebelled against the word of Jehovah, and acted presumptuously, and went up the hill.
44 住那山地的亚摩利人就出来攻击你们，追赶你们，如蜂拥一般，在西珥杀退你们，直到何珥玛。
And the Amorite that dwelt on that hill came out against you, and chased you, like as bees do, and cut you in pieces in Seir, as far as Hormah.
45 你们便回来，在耶和华面前哭号；耶和华却不听你们的声音，也不向你们侧耳。
And ye returned and wept before Jehovah, but Jehovah would not listen to your voice, nor give ear unto you.
46 于是你们在加低斯住了许多日子。”
And ye abode in Kadesh many days, according unto the days that ye abode [there].
