Deuteronomy 16

1 Keep the month of Abib, and celebrate the passover to Jehovah thy God; for in the month of Abib Jehovah thy God brought thee forth out of Egypt by night.

「你要注意亞筆月，向耶和華－你的上帝守逾越節，因為耶和華－你的上帝在亞筆月夜間領你出埃及。

2 And thou shalt sacrifice the passover to Jehovah thy God, of the flock and of the herd, in the place which Jehovah will choose to cause his name to dwell there.

你當在耶和華所選擇要立為他名的居所，從牛群羊群中，將逾越節的祭牲獻給耶和華－你的上帝。

3 Thou shalt eat no leavened bread along with it; seven days shalt thou eat unleavened bread with it, bread of affliction; for thou camest forth out of the land of Egypt in haste, — that thou mayest remember the day when thou camest forth out of the land of Egypt, all the days of thy life.

你吃這祭牲，不可吃有酵的餅；七日之內要吃無酵餅，就是困苦餅－你本是急忙出了埃及地－要叫你一生一世記念你從埃及地出來的日子。

4 And there shall be no leaven seen with thee in all thy borders seven days; neither shall any of the flesh, which thou sacrificedst at even on the first day, be left over night until the morning. —

在你四境之內，七日不可見麵酵，頭一日晚上所獻的肉，一點不可留到早晨。

5 Thou mayest not sacrifice the passover in one of thy gates, which Jehovah thy God giveth thee;

在耶和華－你上帝所賜的各城中，你不可獻逾越節的祭；

6 but at the place that Jehovah thy God will choose, to cause his name to dwell in, there thou shalt sacrifice the passover at even, at the going down of the sun, at the time that thou camest forth out of Egypt.

只當在耶和華－你上帝所選擇要立為他名的居所，晚上日落的時候，乃是你出埃及的時候，獻逾越節的祭。

7 And thou shalt cook and eat it at the place which Jehovah thy God will choose; and in the morning shalt thou turn and go unto thy tents.

當在耶和華－你上帝所選擇的地方把肉烤了吃，次日早晨就回到你的帳棚去。

8 Six days thou shalt eat unleavened bread, and on the seventh day is a solemn assembly to Jehovah thy God; thou shalt do no work.

你要吃無酵餅六日，第七日要向耶和華－你的上帝守嚴肅會，不可做工。」

9 Seven weeks shalt thou count: from the beginning of putting the sickle into the corn shalt thou begin to count seven weeks.

「你要計算七七日：從你開鐮收割禾稼時算起，共計七七日。

10 And thou shalt hold the feast of weeks to Jehovah thy God with a tribute of a voluntary-offering of thy hand, which thou shalt give, according as Jehovah thy God hath blessed thee;

你要照耶和華－你上帝所賜你的福，手裏拿着甘心祭，獻在耶和華－你的上帝面前，守七七節。

11 and thou shalt rejoice before Jehovah thy God, thou, and thy son, and thy daughter, and thy bondman, and thy handmaid, and the Levite that is in thy gates, and the stranger, and the fatherless, and the widow that are in thy midst in the place that Jehovah thy God will choose to cause his name to dwell there.

你和你兒女、僕婢，並住在你城裏的利未人，以及在你們中間寄居的與孤兒寡婦，都要在耶和華－你上帝所選擇立為他名的居所，在耶和華－你的上帝面前歡樂。

12 And thou shalt remember that thou wast a bondman in Egypt, and thou shalt keep and do these statutes.

你也要記念你在埃及作過奴僕。你要謹守遵行這些律例。」

13 The feast of tabernacles shalt thou hold seven days, when thou hast gathered in [the produce] of thy floor and of thy winepress.

「你把禾場的穀、酒醡的酒收藏以後，就要守住棚節七日。

14 And thou shalt rejoice in thy feast, thou, and thy son, and thy daughter, and thy bondman, and thy handmaid, and the Levite, and the stranger, and the fatherless, and the widow, that are in thy gates.

守節的時候，你和你兒女、僕婢，並住在你城裏的利未人，以及寄居的與孤兒寡婦，都要歡樂。

15 Seven days shalt thou hold a feast to Jehovah thy God in the place which Jehovah will choose; for Jehovah thy God will bless thee in all thy produce, and in all the work of thy hands, and thou shalt be wholly joyful.

在耶和華所選擇的地方，你當向耶和華－你的上帝守節七日；因為耶和華－你上帝在你一切的土產上和你手裏所辦的事上要賜福與你，你就非常地歡樂。

16 Three times in the year shall all thy males appear before Jehovah thy God in the place which he will choose, at the feast of unleavened bread, and at the feast of weeks, and at the feast of tabernacles; and they shall not appear before Jehovah empty:

你一切的男丁要在除酵節、七七節、住棚節，一年三次，在耶和華－你上帝所選擇的地方朝見他，卻不可空手朝見。

17 each [shall give] according to that which is in his power to give, according to the blessing of Jehovah thy God which he hath given thee.

各人要按自己的力量，照耶和華－你上帝所賜的福分，奉獻禮物。」

18 Judges and officers shalt thou make thee in all thy gates, which Jehovah thy God giveth thee, throughout thy tribes, that they may judge the people with just judgment.

「你要在耶和華－你上帝所賜的各城裏，按着各支派設立審判官和官長。他們必按公義的審判判斷百姓。

19 Thou shalt not wrest judgment; thou shalt not respect persons, neither take a bribe; for the bribe blindeth the eyes of the wise, and perverteth the words of the righteous.

不可屈枉正直；不可看人的外貌。也不可受賄賂；因為賄賂能叫智慧人的眼變瞎了，又能顛倒義人的話。

20 Perfect justice shalt thou follow, that thou mayest live, and possess the land that Jehovah thy God giveth thee.

你要追求至公至義，好叫你存活，承受耶和華－你上帝所賜你的地。

21 Thou shalt not plant thyself an Asherah of any wood near unto the altar of Jehovah thy God, which thou shalt make thee.

「你為耶和華－你的上帝築壇，不可在壇旁栽甚麼樹木作為木偶。

22 Neither shalt thou set thee up a statue, which Jehovah thy God hateth.

也不可為自己設立柱像；這是耶和華－你上帝所恨惡的。
