Deuteronomy 5

1 And Moses called all Israel, and said to them, Hear, Israel, the ordinances and judgements, all that I speak in your ears this day, and you shall learn them, and observe to do them.

摩西將以色列眾人召了來，對他們說：「以色列人哪，我今日曉諭你們的律例典章，你們要聽，可以學習，謹守遵行。

2 The Lord your God made a covenant with you in Choreb.

耶和華－我們的上帝在何烈山與我們立約。

3 The Lord did not make this covenant with your fathers, but with you: you are all here alive this day.

這約不是與我們列祖立的，乃是與我們今日在這裏存活之人立的。

4 The Lord spoke to you face to face in the mountain out of the midst of the fire.

耶和華在山上，從火中，面對面與你們說話－

5 And I stood between the Lord and you at that time to report to you the words of the Lord, (because you were afraid before the fire, and you went not up to the mountain) saying,

那時我站在耶和華和你們中間，要將耶和華的話傳給你們；因為你們懼怕那火，沒有上山－說：

6 I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.

「『我是耶和華－你的上帝，曾將你從埃及地為奴之家領出來。

7 You shall have no other gods before my face.

「『除了我以外，你不可有別的神。

8 You shall not make to yourself an image, nor likeness of any thing, whatever things [are] in the heaven above, and whatever [are] in the earth beneath, and whatever [are] in the waters under the earth.

「『不可為自己雕刻偶像，也不可做甚麼形像，彷彿上天、下地和地底下、水中的百物。

9 You shall not bow down to them, nor shall you serve them; for I am the Lord your God, a jealous God, visiting the sins of the fathers upon the children to the third and fourth generation to them that hate me,

不可跪拜那些像，也不可事奉它，因為我耶和華－你的上帝是忌邪的上帝。恨我的，我必追討他的罪，自父及子，直到三、四代；

10 and doing mercifully to thousands of them that love me, and that keep my commandments.

愛我、守我誡命的，我必向他們發慈愛，直到千代。

11 You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain, for the Lord your God will certainly not acquit him that takes his name in vain.

「『不可妄稱耶和華－你上帝的名；因為妄稱耶和華名的，耶和華必不以他為無罪。

12 Keep the sabbath day to sanctify it, as the Lord your God commanded you.

「『當照耶和華－你上帝所吩咐的守安息日為聖日。

13 Six days you shall work, and you shall do all your works;

六日要勞碌做你一切的工，

14 but on the seventh day [is] the sabbath of the Lord your God: you shall do in it no work, you, and your son, and your daughter, your man-servant, and your maidservant, your ox, and your ass, and all your cattle, and the stranger that sojourns in the midst of you; that your man-servant may rest, and your maid, and your ox, as well as you.

但第七日是向耶和華－你上帝當守的安息日。這一日，你和你的兒女、僕婢、牛、驢、牲畜，並在你城裏寄居的客旅，無論何工都不可做，使你的僕婢可以和你一樣安息。

15 And you shall remember that you were a slave in the land of Egypt, and the Lord your God brought you out thence with a mighty hand, and a high arm: therefore the Lord appointed you to keep the sabbath day and to sanctify it.

你也要記念你在埃及地作過奴僕；耶和華－你上帝用大能的手和伸出來的膀臂將你從那裏領出來。因此，耶和華－你的上帝吩咐你守安息日。

16 Honour your father and your mother, as the Lord your God commanded you; that it may be well with you, and that you may live long upon the land, which the Lord your God gives you.

「『當照耶和華－你上帝所吩咐的孝敬父母，使你得福，並使你的日子在耶和華－你上帝所賜你的地上得以長久。

17 You shall not commit murder.

「『不可殺人。

18 You shall not commit adultery.

「『不可姦淫。

19 You shall not steal.

「『不可偷盜。

20 You shall not bear false witness against your neighbour.

「『不可作假見證陷害人。

21 You shall not covet your neighbour's wife; you shall not covet your neighbour's house, nor his field, nor his man-servant, nor his maid, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any beast of his, nor any thing that is your neighbour's.

「『不可貪戀人的妻子；也不可貪圖人的房屋、田地、僕婢、牛、驢，並他一切所有的。』

22 These words the Lord spoke to all the assembly of you in the mountain out of the midst of the fire—[there was] darkness, blackness, storm, a loud voice—and he added no more, and he wrote them on two tables of stone, and he gave them to me.

「這些話是耶和華在山上，從火中、雲中、幽暗中，大聲曉諭你們全會眾的；此外並沒有添別的話。他就把這話寫在兩塊石版上，交給我了。」

23 And it came to pass when you heard the voice out of the midst of the fire, for the mountain burnt with fire, that you came to me, even all the heads of your tribes, and your elders:

「那時，火焰燒山，你們聽見從黑暗中出來的聲音；你們支派中所有的首領和長老都來就近我，

24 and you said, Behold, the Lord our God has shown us his glory, and we have heard his voice out of the midst of the fire: this day we have seen that God shall speak to man, and he shall live.

說：『看哪，耶和華－我們上帝將他的榮光和他的大能顯給我們看，我們又聽見他的聲音從火中出來。今日我們得見上帝與人說話，人還存活。

25 And now let us not die, for this great fire will consume us, if we shall hear the voice of the Lord our God any more, and we shall die.

現在這大火將要燒滅我們，我們何必冒死呢？若再聽見耶和華－我們上帝的聲音就必死亡。

26 For what flesh [is there] which has heard the voice of the living God, speaking out of the midst of the fire, as we [have heard], and shall live?

凡屬血氣的，曾有何人聽見永生上帝的聲音從火中出來，像我們聽見還能存活呢？

27 Do you draw near, and hear all that the Lord our God shall say, and you shall speak to us all things whatever the Lord our God shall speak to you, and we will hear, and do.

求你近前去，聽耶和華－我們上帝所要說的一切話，將他對你說的話都傳給我們，我們就聽從遵行。』

28 And the Lord heard the voice of your words as you spoke to me; and the Lord said to me, I have heard the voice of the words of this people, even all things that they have said to you. [They have] well [said] all that they have spoken.

「你們對我說的話，耶和華都聽見了。耶和華對我說：『這百姓的話，我聽見了；他們所說的都是。

29 O that there were such a heart in them, that they should fear me and keep my commands always, that it might be well with them and with their sons for ever.

惟願他們存這樣的心敬畏我，常遵守我的一切誡命，使他們和他們的子孫永遠得福。

30 Go, say to them, Return you to your houses;

你去對他們說：你們回帳棚去吧！

31 but stand you here with me, and I will tell you all the commands, and the ordinances, and the judgements, which you shall teach them, and let them do so in the land which I give them for an inheritance.

至於你，可以站在我這裏，我要將一切誡命、律例、典章傳給你；你要教訓他們，使他們在我賜他們為業的地上遵行。』

32 And you shall take heed to do as the Lord your God commanded you; you shall not turn aside to the right hand or to the left,

所以，你們要照耶和華－你們上帝所吩咐的謹守遵行，不可偏離左右。

33 according to all the way which the Lord your God commanded you to walk in it, that he may give you rest; and that it may be well with you, and you may prolong your days on the land which you shall inherit.

耶和華－你們上帝所吩咐你們行的，你們都要去行，使你們可以存活得福，並使你們的日子在所要承受的地上得以長久。」
