Deuteronomy 1
1 These bee the wordes which Moses spake vnto all Israel, on this side Iorden in the wildernesse, in the plaine, ouer against the red Sea, betweene Paran and Tophel, and Laban, and Hazeroth, and Di-zahab.
以下所記的是摩西在約旦河東的曠野、疏弗對面的亞拉巴－就是巴蘭、陀弗、拉班、哈洗錄、底撒哈中間－向以色列眾人所說的話。（
2 There are eleuen dayes iourney from Horeb vnto Kadesh-barnea, by the way of mout Seir.
從何烈山經過西珥山到加低斯‧巴尼亞有十一天的路程。）
3 And it came to passe in the first day of the eleuenth moneth, in the fourtieth yeere that Moses spake vnto the children of Israel according vnto all that the Lord had giuen him in commandement vnto them,
出埃及第四十年十一月初一日，摩西照耶和華藉着他所吩咐以色列人的話都曉諭他們。
4 After that he had slaine Sihon the king of the Amorites which dwelt in Heshbon, and Og king of Bashan, which dwelt at Ashtaroth in Edrei.
那時，他已經擊殺了住希實本的亞摩利王西宏和住以得來、亞斯他錄的巴珊王噩。
5 On this side Iorden in the lande of Moab began Moses to declare this lawe, saying,
摩西在約旦河東的摩押地講律法說：
6 The Lord our God spake vnto vs in Horeb, saying, Ye haue dwelt long ynough in this mount,
「耶和華－我們的上帝在何烈山曉諭我們說：你們在這山上住的日子夠了；
7 Turne you and depart, and goe vnto the mountaine of the Amorites, and vnto all places neere thereunto in the plaine, in the mountaine, or in the valley: both Southwarde, and to the Sea side, to the land of the Canaanites, and vnto Lebanon: euen vnto the great riuer, the riuer Perath.
要起行轉到亞摩利人的山地和靠近這山地的各處，就是亞拉巴、山地、高原、南地，沿海一帶迦南人的地，並黎巴嫩山又到幼發拉底大河。
8 Beholde, I haue set the land before you: go in and possesse that land which the Lord sware vnto your fathers, Abraham, Izhak, and Iaakob, to giue vnto them and to their seede after them.
如今我將這地擺在你們面前；你們要進去得這地，就是耶和華向你們列祖亞伯拉罕、以撒、雅各起誓應許賜給他們和他們後裔為業之地。」
9 And I spake vnto you the same time, saying, I am not able to beare you my selfe alone:
「那時，我對你們說：『管理你們的重任，我獨自擔當不起。
10 The Lord your God hath multiplied you: and beholde, ye are this day as the starres of heauen in nomber:
耶和華－你們的上帝使你們多起來。看哪，你們今日像天上的星那樣多。
11 (The Lord God of your fathers make you a thousand times so many moe as ye are, and blesse you, as he hath promised you)
惟願耶和華－你們列祖的上帝使你們比如今更多千倍，照他所應許你們的話賜福與你們。
12 Howe can I alone beare your combrance and your charge, and your strife?
但你們的麻煩，和管理你們的重任，並你們的爭訟，我獨自一人怎能擔當得起呢？
13 Bring you men of wisedome and of vnderstanding, and knowen among your tribes, and I will make them rulers ouer you:
你們要按着各支派選舉有智慧、有見識、為眾人所認識的，我立他們為你們的首領。』
14 Then ye answered me and said, The thing is good that thou hast commanded vs to doe.
你們回答我說：『照你所說的行了為妙。』
15 So I tooke the chiefe of your tribes wise and knowen men, and made them rulers ouer you, captaines ouer thousands, and captaines ouer hundreds, and captaines ouer fiftie, and captaines ouer tenne, and officers among your tribes.
我便將你們各支派的首領，有智慧、為眾人所認識的，照你們的支派，立他們為官長、千夫長、百夫長、五十夫長、十夫長，管理你們。
16 And I charged your iudges that same time, saying, Heare the controuersies betweene your brethren, and iudge righteously betweene euery man and his brother, and the stranger that is with him.
「當時，我囑咐你們的審判官說：『你們聽訟，無論是弟兄彼此爭訟，是與同居的外人爭訟，都要按公義判斷。
17 Ye shall haue no respect of person in iudgement, but shall heare the small aswell as the great: yee shall not feare the face of man: for the iudgement is Gods: and the cause that is too hard for you, bring vnto me, and I will heare it.
審判的時候，不可看人的外貌；聽訟不可分貴賤，不可懼怕人，因為審判是屬乎上帝的。若有難斷的案件，可以呈到我這裏，我就判斷。』
18 Also I commanded you the same time all the things which ye should doe.
那時，我將你們所當行的事都吩咐你們了。」
19 Then we departed from Horeb, and went through all that great and terrible wildernesse (as yee haue seene) by the way of the mountaine of the Amorites, as the Lord our God commanded vs: and we came to Kadesh-barnea.
「我們照着耶和華－我們上帝所吩咐的從何烈山起行，經過你們所看見那大而可怕的曠野，往亞摩利人的山地去，到了加低斯‧巴尼亞。
20 And I saide vnto you, Yee are come vnto the mountaine of the Amorites, which the Lord our God doeth giue vnto vs.
我對你們說：『你們已經到了耶和華－我們上帝所賜給我們的亞摩利人之山地。
21 Beholde, the Lord thy God hath layde the land before thee: go vp and possesse it, as the Lord the God of thy fathers hath saide vnto thee: feare not, neither be discouraged.
看哪，耶和華－你的上帝已將那地擺在你面前，你要照耶和華－你列祖的上帝所說的上去得那地為業；不要懼怕，也不要驚惶。』
22 Then ye came vnto me euery one, and said, We wil send men before vs, to search vs out the land and to bring vs word againe, what way we must go vp by, and vnto what cities we shall come.
你們都就近我來說：『我們要先打發人去，為我們窺探那地，將我們上去該走何道，必進何城，都回報我們。』
23 So the saying pleased me well, and I tooke twelue men of you, of euery tribe one.
這話我以為美，就從你們中間選了十二個人，每支派一人。
24 Who departed, and went vp into the mountaine, and came vnto the riuer Eshcol, and searched out the land.
於是他們起身上山地去，到以實各谷，窺探那地。
25 And tooke of the fruite of the land in their hands, and brought it vnto vs, and brought vs worde againe, and sayd, It is a good land, which the Lord our God doeth giue vs.
他們手裏拿着那地的果子下來，到我們那裏，回報說：『耶和華－我們的上帝所賜給我們的是美地。』
26 Notwithstanding, ye would not go vp, but were disobedient vnto the commandement of the Lord your God,
「你們卻不肯上去，竟違背了耶和華－你們上帝的命令，
27 And murmured in your tentes, and sayd, Because the Lord hated vs, therefore hath hee brought vs out of the land of Egypt, to deliuer vs into the hand of the Amorites, and to destroy vs.
在帳棚內發怨言說：『耶和華因為恨我們，所以將我們從埃及地領出來，要交在亞摩利人手中，除滅我們。
28 Whither shall we go vp? our brethren haue discouraged our hearts, saying, The people is greater, and taller then we: the cities are great and walled vp to heauen: and moreouer we haue seene the sonnes of the Anakims there.
我們上哪裏去呢？我們的弟兄使我們的心消化，說那地的民比我們又大又高，城邑又廣大又堅固，高得頂天，並且我們在那裏看見亞衲族的人。』
29 But I sayd vnto you, Dread not, nor be afrayd of them.
我就對你們說：『不要驚恐，也不要怕他們。
30 The Lord your God, who goeth before you, he shall fight for you, according to all that he did vnto you in Egypt before your eyes,
在你們前面行的耶和華－你們的上帝必為你們爭戰，正如他在埃及和曠野，在你們眼前所行的一樣。
31 And in the wildernesse, where thou hast seene how the Lord thy God bare thee, as a man doeth beare his sonne, in all the way which ye haue gone, vntill ye came vnto this place.
你們在曠野所行的路上，也曾見耶和華－你們的上帝撫養你們，如同人撫養兒子一般，直等你們來到這地方。』
32 Yet for all this ye did not beleeue the Lord your God,
你們在這事上卻不信耶和華－你們的上帝。
33 Who went in the way before you, to search you out a place to pitch your tentes in, in fire by night, that ye might see what way to goe, and in a cloude by day.
他在路上，在你們前面行，為你們找安營的地方；夜間在火柱裏，日間在雲柱裏，指示你們所當行的路。」
34 Then the Lord heard the voyce of your wordes, and was wroth, and sware, saying,
「耶和華聽見你們這話，就發怒，起誓說：
35 Surely there shall not one of these men of this froward generation, see that good land, which I sware to giue vnto your fathers,
『這惡世代的人，連一個也不得見我起誓應許賜給你們列祖的美地；
36 Saue Caleb the sonne of Iephunneh: he shall see it, and to him will I giue the land that he hath troden vpon, and to his children, because he hath constantly followed the Lord.
惟有耶孚尼的兒子迦勒必得看見，並且我要將他所踏過的地賜給他和他的子孫，因為他專心跟從我。』
37 Also the Lord was angry with me for your sakes, saying, Thou also shalt not goe in thither,
耶和華為你的緣故也向我發怒，說：『你必不得進入那地。
38 But Ioshua the sonne of Nun which standeth before thee, he shall go in thither: incourage him: for he shall cause Israel to inherite it.
伺候你、嫩的兒子約書亞，他必得進入那地；你要勉勵他，因為他要使以色列人承受那地為業。
39 Moreouer, your children, which ye sayd should be a praye, and your sonnes, which in that day had no knowledge betweene good and euill, they shall go in thither, and vnto them wil I giue it, and they shall possesse it.
並且你們的婦人孩子，就是你們所說、必被擄掠的，和今日不知善惡的兒女，必進入那地。我要將那地賜給他們，他們必得為業。
40 But as for you, turne backe, and take your iourney into the wildernesse by the way of the red Sea.
至於你們，要轉回，從紅海的路往曠野去。』
41 Then ye answered and sayd vnto me, We haue sinned against the Lord, we wil go vp, and fight, according to all that the Lord our God hath commanded vs: and ye armed you euery man to the warre, and were ready to goe vp into the mountaine.
「那時，你們回答我說：『我們得罪了耶和華，情願照耶和華－我們上帝一切所吩咐的上去爭戰。』於是你們各人帶着兵器，爭先上山地去了。
42 But the Lord said vnto me, Say vnto them, Goe not vp, neither fight, (for I am not among you) least ye fall before your enemies.
耶和華吩咐我說：『你對他們說：不要上去，也不要爭戰；因我不在你們中間，恐怕你們被仇敵殺敗了。』
43 And when I told you, ye would not heare, but rebelled against the commandement of the Lord, and were presumptuous, and went vp into the mountaine.
我就告訴了你們，你們卻不聽從，竟違背耶和華的命令，擅自上山地去了。
44 Then the Amorites which dwelt in that mountaine came out against you, and chased you (as bees vse to doe) and destroied you in Seir, euen vnto Hormah.
住那山地的亞摩利人就出來攻擊你們，追趕你們，如蜂擁一般，在西珥殺退你們，直到何珥瑪。
45 And when ye came againe, ye wept before the Lord, but the Lord would not heare your voyce, nor incline his eares vnto you.
你們便回來，在耶和華面前哭號；耶和華卻不聽你們的聲音，也不向你們側耳。
46 So ye abode in Kadesh a long time, according to the time that ye had remained before.
於是你們在加低斯住了許多日子。」
