< 申命記 10 >

1 那時上主對我說:「你再鑿兩塊石版,與先前的一樣,然後上山到我跟前來;還要做一個木櫃。
At that time the Lord said unto me, Hew for thyself two tables of stone like unto the first, and come up unto me into the mount; and make thyself an ark of wood.
2 我要把你先前摔碎的那兩塊版上的話,寫在這兩塊版上。你要將這兩塊石版放在櫃裏。」
And I will write on the tables the words that were on the first tables which thou hast broken; and thou shalt put them in the ark.
3 我於是做了一個皂莢木櫃,鑿了兩塊與先前一樣的石版,手裏拿著這兩塊石版上山去了。
And I made an ark of shittim-wood, and hewed two tables of stone like unto the first; and I went up into the mount, with the two tables in my hand.
4 上主將先前所寫的,即在集會之日,在山上由火中對你們所說的那十句話,寫在這兩塊版上,交給了我。
And he wrote on the tables, like the first writing, the ten commandments, which the Lord had spoken unto you on the mount out of the midst of the fire on the day of the assembly; and the Lord gave them unto me.
5 我遂轉身下山,照上主吩咐我的,將版放在我做的櫃內,存在那裏。
And I turned myself and came down from the mount, and I put the tables in the ark which I had made; and they have remained there, as the Lord hath commanded me.
6 以色列子民由貝洛特貝乃雅干起程,到了摩色辣,亞郎在那裏死了,也埋在那裏;他的兒子厄肋阿匝爾繼他做了大司祭。
And the children of Israel took their journey from the wells of the children of Ya'akan to Mosserah: there Aaron died, and he was buried there; and Elazar his son became priest in his stead.
7 又從那裏起程,到了古德哥達,又從古德哥達到了多溪水之地約特巴達。
From there they journeyed unto Gudgodah; and from Gudgodah to Yotbatha, a land of brooks of waters.
8 那時,上主選拔了肋未支派,叫他們抬上主的約櫃,侍立在上主面前事奉他,並奉他的名祝福,直到今日。
At that time did the Lord separate the tribe of Levi, to bear the ark of the covenant of the Lord, to stand before the Lord to minister unto him, and to bless in his name, unto this day.
9 為此,肋未人同自己的兄弟沒有分得產業,因為照上主你的天主對他們所說的:上主自己是他們的產業。
Therefore was not assigned unto Levi any portion or inheritance with his brethren: the Lord is his inheritance, as the Lord thy God hath spoken to him.
10 我如先前一樣,在山上逗留了四十天四十夜;上主這一次又俯聽了我,放棄了消滅你的意思。
And I stayed on the mount, like the first days, forty days and forty nights; and the Lord hearkened unto me also at that time, the Lord would not destroy thee.
11 上主且對我說:「起來,在人民前面領路,叫他們去佔領我對他們祖先誓許要賜給他們的地方。」
And the Lord said unto me, Arise, go on the journey before the people, that they may go in and take possession of the land, which I have sworn unto their fathers to give unto them.
12 以色列! 現今上主你的天主向你要求什麼﹖是要求你敬畏上主你的天主,履行他的一切道路,愛他,全心全靈事奉上主你的天主,
And now, Israel, what doth the Lord thy God require of thee, but to fear the Lord thy God, to walk in all his ways, and to love him, and to serve the Lord thy God with all thy heart and with all thy soul,
13 遵守我今天吩咐你的天主的誡命和法令,好使你能獲得幸福。
To keep the commandments of the Lord, and his statutes, which I command thee this day, for thy own good?
14 看天與天上的天,地和地上的一切,都屬於上主你的天主;
Behold, to the Lord thy God belong the heavens and the heavens of heavens, and the earth with all that is thereon;
15 但上主只喜歡了你的祖先,鍾愛他們,由萬民中揀選了他們的後裔,就是你們,正如你們今日所見的一樣。
Yet only in thy fathers had the Lord delight, to love them; he chose, therefore, their seed after them, namely you, from all the nations, as it is this day.
16 為此,你們要心受割損,不要執拗,
Remove therefore the obduracy of your heart, and be no more stiff-necked.
17 因為上主你們的天主是萬神之神,萬主之主,偉大、有力、可畏的天主,是不顧情面,不受賄賂,
For the Lord your God is the God of gods, and the Lord of lords, the great, the mighty, and the terrible God, who hath no regard to persons, and taketh no bribe;
18 為孤兒、寡婦主持正義,友愛外方人,供給他們食糧和衣服的天主。
Who executeth justice for the fatherless and the widow, and loveth the stranger, to give him food and raiment.
19 為此,你們也應友愛外方人,因為你們在埃及也曾做過外方人。
Love ye then the stranger; for you have been strangers in the land of Egypt.
20 你應敬畏上主你的天主,事奉依賴他,奉他的名起誓。
The Lord thy God shalt thou fear: him shalt thou serve, and to him shalt thou cleave, and by his name shalt thou swear.
21 他是你的光榮,是你的天主,是他為你做了你親眼所見的奇異可畏的事。
He is thy praise, and he is thy God, who hath done for thee these great and fearful things, which thy own eyes have seen.
22 你的祖先下到埃及時,總共不過七十人,現在上主你的天主卻使你多得有如天上的繁星。
With seventy persons did thy fathers go down into Egypt; and now the Lord thy God hath made thee like the stars of heaven in multitude.
