< 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 Yahweh said to me, 'Carve two tablets of stone like the first, and come up to me on the mountain, and make 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。」
I will write on the tablets the words that were on the first tablets that you broke, and you will 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。
So I made an ark of acacia wood, and I carved two tablets of stone like the first, and I went up the mountain, having the two tablets 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。
He wrote on the tablets, like the first writing, the Ten Commandments which Yahweh had spoken to you on the mountain out of the middle of the fire on the day of the assembly; then Yahweh gave them to 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。
I turned and came down from the mountain, and put the tablets in the ark that I had made; there they are, as Yahweh 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。
(The people of Israel journeyed from Beeroth Bene Jaakan to Moserah. There Aaron died, and there he was buried; Eleazar, his son, served in the priest's office in his place.
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 to Gudgodah, and from Gudgodah to Jotbathah, a land of streams of water.
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 Yahweh chose the tribe of Levi to carry the ark of the covenant of Yahweh, to stand before Yahweh to serve him, and to bless people in his name, as today.
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 Levi has no portion nor inheritance of land with his brothers; Yahweh is his inheritance, as Yahweh your God spoke 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。
“I stayed on the mountain as at the first time, forty days and forty nights. Yahweh listened to me that time also; Yahweh did not wish to destroy you.
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。」
Yahweh said to me, 'Arise, go before the people to lead them on their journey; they will go in and possess the land that I swore to their ancestors to give to 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,
Now, Israel, what does Yahweh your God require of you, except to fear Yahweh your God, to walk in all his ways, to love him, and to worship Yahweh your God with all your heart and with all your 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 Yahweh, and his statutes, which I am commanding you today for your 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 Yahweh your God belongs heaven and the heaven of heavens, the earth, with all that is in them.
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。
Only Yahweh took pleasure in your fathers so as to love them, and he chose you, their descendants, after them, more than any of the other peoples, as he does today.
Therefore circumcise the foreskin of your heart, and be stubborn no longer.
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 Yahweh your God, he is God of gods and Lord of masters, the great God, the mighty one and the fearsome one, who favors no one and takes no bribes.
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。
He executes justice for the fatherless and widow, and he shows love for the foreigner by giving him food and clothing.
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。
Therefore love the foreigner; for you were foreigners 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。
You will fear Yahweh your God; him will you worship. To him you must cling, and by his name will you 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 your praise, and he is your God, who has done for you these great and fearsome things, which your 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。
Your fathers went down into Egypt as seventy persons; now Yahweh your God has made you as many as the stars of the heavens.
