Deuteronomy 5

1 And Moses called all Israel, and said to them, Hear, O Israel, the statutes and judgments which I speak in your ears this day, that ye may learn them, and keep, and 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 our God made a covenant with us in Horeb.

耶和華－我們的上帝在何烈山與我們立約。

3 The LORD made not this covenant with our fathers, but with us, even us, who are all of us 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 talked with you face to face on the mount from the midst of the fire,

耶和華在山上，從火中，面對面與你們說話－

5 (I stood between the LORD and you at that time, to show you the word of the LORD: for ye were afraid by reason of the fire, and went not up upon the mount; ) 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 thy God, who brought thee out of the land of Egypt, from 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 Thou shalt have no other gods before me.

「『除了我以外，你不可有別的神。

8 Thou shalt not make for thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is on the earth beneath, or that is in the waters beneath 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 Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children to the third and fourth generation of 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 showing mercy to thousands of them that love me and keep my commandments.

愛我、守我誡命的，我必向他們發慈愛，直到千代。

11 Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain: for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh 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 thy God hath commanded thee.

「『當照耶和華－你上帝所吩咐的守安息日為聖日。

13 Six days thou shalt labour, and do all thy work:

六日要勞碌做你一切的工，

14 But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, nor thy male servant, nor thy female servant, nor thy ox, nor thy donkey, nor any of thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates; that thy male servant and thy female servant may rest as well as thou.

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 remember that thou wast a servant in the land of Egypt, and that the LORD thy God brought thee out from there with a mighty hand and by an outstretched arm: therefore the LORD thy God commanded thee to keep the sabbath day.

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 thy father and thy mother, as the LORD thy God hath commanded thee; that thy days may be prolonged, and that it may be well with thee, in the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee.

「『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 Thou shalt not kill.

「『不可殺人。

18 Neither shalt thou commit adultery.

「『不可姦淫。

19 Neither shalt thou steal.

「『不可偷盜。

20 Neither shalt thou bear false witness against thy neighbour.

「『不可作假見證陷害人。

21 Neither shalt thou desire thy neighbour’s wife, neither shalt thou covet thy neighbour’s house, his field, or his male servant, or his female servant, his ox, or his donkey, or any thing that is thy 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 your assembly on the mount from the midst of the fire, of the cloud, and of the thick darkness, with a great voice: and he added no more. And he wrote them in two tables of stone, and delivered 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 ye heard the voice from the midst of the darkness, (for the mountain did burn with fire, ) that ye came near 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 ye said, Behold, the LORD our God hath shown us his glory and his greatness, and we have heard his voice from the midst of the fire: we have seen this day that God doth talk with man, and he liveth.

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 Now therefore why should we die? for this great fire will consume us: if we hear the voice of the LORD our God any more, then 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 who is there of all flesh, that hath heard the voice of the living God speaking out of the midst of the fire, as we have, and lived?

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 Go thou near, and hear all that the LORD our God shall say: and speak thou to us all that the LORD our God shall speak to thee; and we will hear it, and do it.

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, when ye spoke to me; and the LORD said to me, I have heard the voice of the words of this people, which they have spoke to thee: 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 an heart in them, that they would fear me, and keep all my commandments always, that it might be well with them, and with their children 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 to your tents again.

你去對他們說：你們回帳棚去吧！

31 But as for thee, stand thou here by me, and I will speak to thee all the commandments, and the statutes, and the judgments, which thou shalt teach them, that they may do them in the land which I give them to possess it.

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 Ye shall observe to do therefore as the LORD your God hath commanded you: ye 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 Ye shall walk in all the ways which the LORD your God hath commanded you, that ye may live, and that it may be well with you, and that ye may prolong your days in the land which ye shall possess.

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。」
