出埃及記 23

1 「不可隨夥佈散謠言；不可與惡人連手妄作見證。

Thou shall not take up a false report. Do not put thy hand with the wicked man to be an unrighteous witness.

2 不可隨眾行惡；不可在爭訟的事上隨眾偏行，作見證屈枉正直；

Thou shall not follow a multitude to do evil, neither shall thou speak in a case to turn aside after a multitude to distort justice,

3 也不可在爭訟的事上偏護窮人。

neither shall thou favor a poor man in his case.

4 「若遇見你仇敵的牛或驢失迷了路，總要牽回來交給他。

If thou meet thine enemy's ox or his donkey going astray, thou shall surely bring it back to him again.

5 若看見恨你人的驢壓臥在重馱之下，不可走開，務要和驢主一同抬開重馱。

If thou see the donkey of him who hates thee lying under his burden, thou shall refrain leaving him. Thou shall surely release it with him.

6 「不可在窮人爭訟的事上屈枉正直。

Thou shall not distort the justice due to thy poor in his case.

7 當遠離虛假的事。不可殺無辜和有義的人，因我必不以惡人為義。

Keep thee far from a false matter. And do not kill an innocent and righteous man, for I will not justify a wicked man.

8 不可受賄賂；因為賄賂能叫明眼人變瞎了，又能顛倒義人的話。

And thou shall take no bribe, for a bribe blinds those who have sight, and perverts the words of the righteous.

9 「不可欺壓寄居的；因為你們在埃及地作過寄居的，知道寄居的心。」

And thou shall not oppress a sojourner, for ye know the heart of a sojourner, since ye were sojourners in the land of Egypt.

10 「六年你要耕種田地，收藏土產，

And six years thou shall sow thy land, and shall gather in the increase of it,

11 只是第七年要叫地歇息，不耕不種，使你民中的窮人有吃的；他們所剩下的，野獸可以吃。你的葡萄園和橄欖園也要照樣辦理。

but the seventh year thou shall let it rest and lie fallow, that the poor of thy people may eat, and what they leave the beast of the field shall eat. In like manner thou shall deal with thy vineyard, and with thy oliveyard.

12 「六日你要做工，第七日要安息，使牛、驢可以歇息，並使你婢女的兒子和寄居的都可以舒暢。

Six days thou shall do thy work, and on the seventh day thou shall rest, that thine ox and thy donkey may have rest, and the son of thy handmaid, and the sojourner, may be refreshed.

13 「凡我對你們說的話，你們要謹守。別神的名，你不可提，也不可從你口中傳說。」

And in all things that I have said to you take ye heed, and make no mention of the name of other gods, neither let it be heard out of thy mouth.

14 「一年三次，你要向我守節。

Three times thou shall keep a feast to me in the year.

15 你要守除酵節，照我所吩咐你的，在亞筆月內所定的日期，吃無酵餅七天。誰也不可空手朝見我，因為你是這月出了埃及。

Thou shall keep the feast of unleavened bread (Seven days thou shall eat unleavened bread, as I commanded thee, at the time appointed in the month Abib, for in it thou came out from Egypt, and none shall appear before me empty),

16 又要守收割節，所收的是你田間所種、勞碌得來初熟之物。並在年底收藏，要守收藏節。

and the feast of harvest, the first-fruits of thy labors, which thou sow in the field, and the feast of ingathering at the end of the year, when thou gather in thy labors out of the field.

17 一切的男丁要一年三次朝見主耶和華。

Three times in the year all thy males shall appear before the lord Jehovah.

18 「不可將我祭牲的血和有酵的餅一同獻上；也不可將我節上祭牲的脂油留到早晨。

Thou shall not offer the blood of my sacrifice with leavened bread, neither shall the fat of my feast remain all night until the morning.

19 「地裏首先初熟之物要送到耶和華－你上帝的殿。 「不可用山羊羔母的奶煮山羊羔。」

The first of the first-fruits of thy ground thou shall bring into the house of Jehovah thy God. Thou shall not boil a kid in its mother's milk.

20 「看哪，我差遣使者在你前面，在路上保護你，領你到我所預備的地方去。

Behold, I send an agent before thee, to keep thee by the way, and to bring thee into the place which I have prepared.

21 他是奉我名來的；你們要在他面前謹慎，聽從他的話，不可惹 他，因為他必不赦免你們的過犯。

Take ye heed before him, and hearken to his voice, provoke him not. For he will not pardon your transgression, for my name is in him.

22 「你若實在聽從他的話，照着我一切所說的去行，我就向你的仇敵作仇敵，向你的敵人作敵人。

But if thou shall indeed hearken to his voice, and do all that I speak, then I will be an enemy to thine enemies, and an adversary to thine adversaries.

23 「我的使者要在你前面行，領你到亞摩利人、赫人、比利洗人、迦南人、希未人、耶布斯人那裏去，我必將他們剪除。

For my agent shall go before thee, and bring thee in to the Amorite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, and the Canaanite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite, and I will cut them off.

24 你不可跪拜他們的神，不可事奉他，也不可效法他們的行為，卻要把神像盡行拆毀，打碎他們的柱像。

Thou shall not bow down to their gods, nor serve them, nor do after their works, but thou shall utterly overthrow them, and break their pillars in pieces.

25 你們要事奉耶和華－你們的上帝，他必賜福與你的糧與你的水，也必從你們中間除去疾病。

And ye shall serve Jehovah your God, and he will bless thy bread, and thy water, and I will take sickness away from the midst of thee.

26 你境內必沒有墜胎的，不生產的。我要使你滿了你年日的數目。

There shall none cast her young, nor be barren, in thy land; I will fulfill the number of thy days.

27 凡你所到的地方，我要使那裏的眾民在你面前驚駭，擾亂，又要使你一切仇敵轉背逃跑。

I will send my terror before thee, and will destroy all the people to whom thou shall come, and I will make all thine enemies turn their backs to thee.

28 我要打發黃蜂飛在你前面，把希未人、迦南人、赫人攆出去。

And I will send the hornet before thee, which shall drive out the Hivite, the Canaanite, and the Hittite, from before thee.

29 我不在一年之內將他們從你面前攆出去，恐怕地成為荒涼，野地的獸多起來害你。

I will not drive them out from before thee in one year, lest the land become desolate, and the beasts of the field multiply against thee.

30 我要漸漸地將他們從你面前攆出去，等到你的人數加多，承受那地為業。

Little by little I will drive them out from before thee, until thou be increased, and inherit the land.

31 我要定你的境界，從紅海直到非利士海，又從曠野直到大河。我要將那地的居民交在你手中，你要將他們從你面前攆出去。

And I will set thy border from the Red Sea even to the sea of the Philistines, and from the wilderness to the River. For I will deliver the inhabitants of the land into your hand, and thou shall drive them out before thee.

32 不可和他們並他們的神立約。

Thou shall make no covenant with them, nor with their gods.

33 他們不可住在你的地上，恐怕他們使你得罪我。你若事奉他們的神，這必成為你的網羅。」

They shall not dwell in thy land, lest they make thee sin against me, for if thou serve their gods, it will surely be a snare to thee.
