Deuteronomy 26

1 Also when thou shalt come into the lande which the Lord thy God giueth thee for inheritance, and shalt possesse it, and dwell therein,

「你進去得了耶和華－你上帝所賜你為業之地居住，

2 Then shalt thou take of the first of all the fruite of the earth, and bring it out of the lande that the Lord thy God giueth thee, and put it in a basket, and goe vnto the place, which the Lord thy God shall chose to place his Name there.

就要從耶和華－你上帝賜你的地上將所收的各種初熟的土產取些來，盛在筐子裏，往耶和華－你上帝所選擇要立為他名的居所去，

3 And thou shalt come vnto the Priest, that shall be in those dayes, and say vnto him, I acknowledge this day vnto the Lord thy God, that I am come vnto the countrey which the Lord sware vnto our fathers for to giue vs.

見當時作祭司的，對他說：『我今日向耶和華－你上帝明認，我已來到耶和華向我們列祖起誓應許賜給我們的地。』

4 Then the Priest shall take the basket out of thine hand, and set it downe before the altar of the Lord thy God.

祭司就從你手裏取過筐子來，放在耶和華－你上帝的壇前。

5 And thou shalt answere and say before the Lord thy God, A Syrian was my father, who being ready to perish for hunger, went downe into Egypt, and soiourned there with a small company, and grew there vnto a nation great, mightie and full of people.

你要在耶和華－你上帝面前說：『我祖原是一個將亡的亞蘭人，下到埃及寄居。他人口稀少，在那裏卻成了又大又強、人數很多的國民。

6 And the Egyptians vexed vs, and troubled vs, and laded vs with cruell bondage.

埃及人惡待我們，苦害我們，將苦工加在我們身上。

7 But when we cried vnto the Lord God of our fathers, the Lord heard our voyce, and looked on our aduersitie, and on our labour, and on our oppression.

於是我們哀求耶和華－我們列祖的上帝，耶和華聽見我們的聲音，看見我們所受的困苦、勞碌、欺壓，

8 And the Lord brought vs out of Egypt in a mightie hande, and a stretched out arme, with great terriblenesse, both in signes and wonders.

他就用大能的手和伸出來的膀臂，並大可畏的事與神蹟奇事，領我們出了埃及，

9 And he hath brought vs into this place, and hath giuen vs this land, euen a lande that floweth with milke and hony.

將我們領進這地方，把這流奶與蜜之地賜給我們。

10 And now, lo, I haue brought ye first fruites of the land which thou, O Lord, hast giuen me, and thou shalt set it before the Lord thy God, and worship before the Lord thy God:

耶和華啊，現在我把你所賜給我地上初熟的土產奉了來。』隨後你要把筐子放在耶和華－你上帝面前，向耶和華－你的上帝下拜。

11 And thou shalt reioyce in all the good things which the Lord thy God hath giuen vnto thee and to thine houshold, thou and the Leuite, and the stranger that is among you.

你和利未人，並在你們中間寄居的，要因耶和華－你上帝所賜你和你家的一切福分歡樂。

12 When thou hast made an end of tithing all the tythes of thine increase, the thirde yeere, which is the yeere of tithing, and hast giuen it vnto the Leuite, to the stranger, to the fatherlesse, and to the widowe, that they may eate within thy gates, and be satisfied,

「每逢三年，就是十分取一之年，你取完了一切土產的十分之一，要分給利未人和寄居的，與孤兒寡婦，使他們在你城中可以吃得飽足。

13 Then thou shalt say before the Lord thy God, I haue brought the halowed thing out of mine house, and also haue giuen it vnto the Leuites and to the strangers, to the fatherlesse, and to the widow, according to all thy comandements which thou hast commanded me: I haue transgressed none of thy comandements, nor forgotten them.

你又要在耶和華－你上帝面前說：『我已將聖物從我家裏拿出來，給了利未人和寄居的，與孤兒寡婦，是照你所吩咐我的一切命令。你的命令我都沒有違背，也沒有忘記。

14 I haue not eaten therof in my mourning, nor suffred ought to perish through vncleannes, nor giuen ought thereof for the dead, but haue hearkened vnto the voyce of the Lord my God: I haue done after al that thou hast comaded me.

我守喪的時候，沒有吃這聖物；不潔淨的時候，也沒有拿出來，又沒有為死人送去。我聽從了耶和華－我上帝的話，都照你所吩咐的行了。

15 Looke downe from thine holy habitation, euen from heauen, and blesse thy people Israel, and the lande which thou hast giuen vs (as thou swarest vnto our fathers) the land that floweth with milke and hony.

求你從天上、你的聖所垂看，賜福給你的百姓以色列與你所賜給我們的地，就是你向我們列祖起誓賜我們流奶與蜜之地。』」

16 This day the Lord thy God doeth command thee to do these ordinances, and lawes: keepe them therefore, and do them with al thine heart, and with all thy soule.

「耶和華－你的上帝今日吩咐你行這些律例典章，所以你要盡心盡性謹守遵行。

17 Thou hast set vp the Lord this day to be thy God, and to walke in his wayes, and to keepe his ordinances, and his commandements, and his lawes, and to hearken vnto his voyce.

你今日認耶和華為你的上帝，應許遵行他的道，謹守他的律例、誡命、典章，聽從他的話。

18 And the Lord hath set thee vp this day, to be a precious people vnto him (as hee hath promised thee) and that thou shouldest keepe all his commandements,

耶和華今日照他所應許你的，也認你為他的子民，使你謹守他的一切誡命，

19 And to make thee high aboue al nations (which he hath made) in praise, and in name, and in glory, and that thou shouldest be an holy people vnto the Lord thy God, as he hath said.

又使你得稱讚、美名、尊榮，超乎他所造的萬民之上，並照他所應許的使你歸耶和華－你上帝為聖潔的民。」
