利未記 26

1 「你們不可做甚麼虛無的神像，不可立雕刻的偶像或是柱像，也不可在你們的地上安甚麼鏨成的石像，向它跪拜，因為我是耶和華－你們的上帝。

Ye shall make for you no idols. Neither shall ye rear up for you a graven image, or a pillar. Neither shall ye place any figured stone in your land, to bow down to it. For I am Jehovah your God.

2 你們要守我的安息日，敬我的聖所。我是耶和華。

Ye shall keep my sabbaths, and reverence my sanctuary. I am Jehovah.

3 「你們若遵行我的律例，謹守我的誡命，

If ye walk in my statutes, and keep my commandments, and do them,

4 我就給你們降下時雨，叫地生出土產，田野的樹木結果子。

then I will give your rains in their season, and the land shall yield its increase, and the trees of the field shall yield their fruit.

5 你們打糧食要打到摘葡萄的時候，摘葡萄要摘到撒種的時候；並且要吃得飽足，在你們的地上安然居住。

And your threshing shall reach to the vintage, and the vintage shall reach to the sowing time, and ye shall eat your bread to the full, and dwell in your land safely.

6 我要賜平安在你們的地上；你們躺臥，無人驚嚇。我要叫惡獸從你們的地上熄滅；刀劍也必不經過你們的地。

And I will give peace in the land, and ye shall lie down, and none shall make you afraid. And I will cause evil beasts to cease out of the land, nor shall the sword go through your land.

7 你們要追趕仇敵，他們必倒在你們刀下。

And ye shall chase your enemies, and they shall fall before you by the sword.

8 你們五個人要追趕一百人，一百人要追趕一萬人；仇敵必倒在你們刀下。

And five of you shall chase a hundred, and a hundred of you shall chase ten thousand, and your enemies shall fall before you by the sword.

9 我要眷顧你們，使你們生養眾多，也要與你們堅定所立的約。

And I will have respect to you, and make you fruitful, and multiply you, and will establish my covenant with you.

10 你們要吃陳糧，又因新糧挪開陳糧。

And ye shall eat old storage long kept, and ye shall bring forth the old because of the new.

11 我要在你們中間立我的帳幕；我的心也不厭惡你們。

And I will set my tabernacle among you, and my soul shall not abhor you.

12 我要在你們中間行走；我要作你們的上帝，你們要作我的子民。

And I will walk among you, and will be your God, and ye shall be my people.

13 我是耶和華－你們的上帝，曾將你們從埃及地領出來，使你們不作埃及人的奴僕；我也折斷你們所負的軛，叫你們挺身而走。」

I am Jehovah your God, who brought you forth out of the land of Egypt, that ye should not be their bondmen. And I have broken the bars of your yoke, and made you go upright.

14 「你們若不聽從我，不遵行我的誡命，

But if ye will not hearken to me, and will not do all these commandments,

15 厭棄我的律例，厭惡我的典章，不遵行我一切的誡命，背棄我的約，

and if ye shall reject my statutes, and if your soul abhors my ordinances, so that ye will not do all my commandments, but break my covenant,

16 我待你們就要這樣：我必命定驚惶，叫眼目乾癟、精神消耗的癆病熱病轄制你們。你們也要白白地撒種，因為仇敵要吃你們所種的。

I also will do this to you: I will appoint terror over you, even consumption and fever, that shall consume the eyes, and make the soul to pine away. And ye shall sow your seed in vain, for your enemies shall eat it.

17 我要向你們變臉，你們就要敗在仇敵面前。恨惡你們的，必轄管你們；無人追趕，你們卻要逃跑。

And I will set my face against you, and ye shall be smitten before your enemies. Those who hate you shall rule over you, and ye shall flee when no man pursues you.

18 你們因這些事若還不聽從我，我就要為你們的罪加七倍懲罰你們。

And if for these things ye will not yet hearken to me, then I will chastise you seven times more for your sins.

19 我必斷絕你們因勢力而有的驕傲，又要使覆你們的天如鐵，載你們的地如銅。

And I will break the pride of your power. And I will make your sky as iron, and your earth as brass,

20 你們要白白地勞力；因為你們的地不出土產，其上的樹木也不結果子。

and your strength shall be spent in vain, for your land shall not yield its increase, nor shall the trees of the land yield their fruit.

21 「你們行事若與我反對，不肯聽從我，我就要按你們的罪加七倍降災與你們。

And if ye walk contrary to me, and will not hearken to me, I will bring seven times more plagues upon you according to your sins.

22 我也要打發野地的走獸到你們中間，搶吃你們的兒女，吞滅你們的牲畜，使你們的人數減少，道路荒涼。

And I will send the beast of the field among you, which shall rob you of your sons, and destroy your cattle, and make you few in number, and your ways shall become desolate.

23 「你們因這些事若仍不改正歸我，行事與我反對，

And if by these things ye will not be reformed to me, but will walk contrary to me,

24 我就要行事與你們反對，因你們的罪擊打你們七次。

then I also will walk contrary to you, and I will smite you, even I, seven times for your sins.

25 我又要使刀劍臨到你們，報復你們背約的仇；聚集你們在各城內，降瘟疫在你們中間，也必將你們交在仇敵的手中。

And I will bring a sword upon you that shall execute the vengeance of the covenant, and ye shall be gathered together within your cities. And I will send the pestilence among you, and ye shall be delivered into the hand of the enemy.

26 我要折斷你們的杖，就是斷絕你們的糧。那時，必有十個女人在一個爐子給你們烤餅，按分量秤給你們；你們要吃，也吃不飽。

When I break your staff of bread, ten women shall bake your bread in one oven, and they shall deliver your bread again by weight, and ye shall eat, and not be satisfied.

27 「你們因這一切的事若不聽從我，卻行事與我反對，

And if for all this ye will not hearken to me, but walk contrary to me,

28 我就要發烈怒，行事與你們反對，又因你們的罪懲罰你們七次。

then I will walk contrary to you in wrath, and I also will chastise you seven times for your sins.

29 並且你們要吃兒子的肉，也要吃女兒的肉。

And ye shall eat the flesh of your sons, and the flesh of your daughters ye shall eat.

30 我又要毀壞你們的邱壇，砍下你們的日像，把你們的屍首扔在你們偶像的身上；我的心也必厭惡你們。

And I will destroy your high places, and cut down your sun-images, and cast your dead bodies upon the bodies of your idols, and my soul shall abhor you.

31 我要使你們的城邑變為荒涼，使你們的眾聖所成為荒場；我也不聞你們馨香的香氣。

And I will make your cities a waste, and will bring your sanctuaries to desolation, and I will not smell the savor of your sweet odors.

32 我要使地成為荒場，住在其上的仇敵就因此詫異。

And I will bring the land into desolation, and your enemies who dwell in it shall be astonished at it.

33 我要把你們散在列邦中；我也要拔刀追趕你們。你們的地要成為荒場；你們的城邑要變為荒涼。

And I will scatter you among the nations, and I will draw out the sword after you, and your land shall be a desolation, and your cities shall be a waste.

34 「你們在仇敵之地居住的時候，你們的地荒涼，要享受眾安息；正在那時候，地要歇息，享受安息。

Then the land shall enjoy its sabbaths, as long as it lies desolate, and ye are in your enemies' land, even then shall the land rest, and enjoy its sabbaths.

35 地多時為荒場，就要多時歇息；地這樣歇息，是你們住在其上的安息年所不能得的。

As long as it lies desolate it shall have rest, even the rest which it had not in your sabbaths, when ye dwelt upon it.

36 至於你們剩下的人，我要使他們在仇敵之地心驚膽怯。葉子被風吹的響聲，要追趕他們；他們要逃避，像人逃避刀劍，無人追趕，卻要跌倒。

And as for those who are left of you, I will send a faintness into their heart in the lands of their enemies. And the sound of a driven leaf shall chase them, and they shall flee as a man flees from the sword, and they shall fall when no man pursues.

37 無人追趕，他們要彼此撞跌，像在刀劍之前。你們在仇敵面前也必站立不住。

And they shall stumble one upon another, as it were before the sword, when no man pursues. And ye shall have no power to stand before your enemies.

38 你們要在列邦中滅亡；仇敵之地要吞吃你們。

And ye shall perish among the nations, and the land of your enemies shall eat you up.

39 你們剩下的人必因自己的罪孽和祖宗的罪孽在仇敵之地消滅。

And those who are left of you shall pine away in their iniquity in your enemies' lands, and also in the iniquities of their fathers they shall pine away with them.

40 「他們要承認自己的罪和他們祖宗的罪，就是干犯我的那罪，並且承認自己行事與我反對，

And they shall confess their iniquity, and the iniquity of their fathers, in their trespass which they trespassed against me, and also that, because they walked contrary to me,

41 我所以行事與他們反對，把他們帶到仇敵之地。那時，他們未受割禮的心若謙卑了，他們也服了罪孽的刑罰，

I also walked contrary to them, and brought them into the land of their enemies. If then their uncircumcised heart be humbled, and they then accept of the punishment of their iniquity,

42 我就要記念我與雅各所立的約，與以撒所立的約，與亞伯拉罕所立的約，並要記念這地。

then I will remember my covenant with Jacob, and also my covenant with Isaac, and also my covenant with Abraham will I remember, and I will remember the land.

43 他們離開這地，地在荒廢無人的時候就要享受安息。並且他們要服罪孽的刑罰；因為他們厭棄了我的典章，心中厭惡了我的律例。

The land also shall be left by them, and shall enjoy its sabbaths while it lies desolate without them. And they shall accept of the punishment of their iniquity, because, even because they rejected my ordinances, and their soul abhorred my statutes.

44 雖是這樣，他們在仇敵之地，我卻不厭棄他們，也不厭惡他們，將他們盡行滅絕，也不背棄我與他們所立的約，因為我是耶和華－他們的上帝。

And yet for all that, when they are in the land of their enemies, I will not reject them, neither will I abhor them, to destroy them utterly, and to break my covenant with them, for I am Jehovah their God,

45 我卻要為他們的緣故記念我與他們先祖所立的約。他們的先祖是我在列邦人眼前、從埃及地領出來的，為要作他們的上帝。我是耶和華。」

but for their sakes I will remember the covenant of their ancestors, whom I brought forth out of the land of Egypt in the sight of the nations, that I might be their God. I am Jehovah.

46 這些律例、典章，和法度是耶和華與以色列人在西奈山藉着摩西立的。

These are the statutes and ordinances and laws, which Jehovah made between him and the sons of Israel at mount Sinai by Moses.
