申命記 12
1 這是你們在上主你祖先的天主賜給你作產業的地上，當遵守奉行的法令和規則；你們幾時生活在那地，就應日日遵守。
These [are] the statutes and the judgments which you will take care! to observe in the land which he has given Yahweh [the] God of ancestors your to you to take possession of it all the days which you [are] alive on the land.
2 凡你們去征服的民族供奉神祇的地方，無論在高山上，或在丘陵上，或在任何綠樹下，都應加以破壞：
Certainly you will destroy! all the places where they have served there the nations whom you [are] about to dispossess them gods their on the mountains high and on the hills and under every tree luxuriant.
3 拆毀他們的祭壇，打碎他們的石碣，燒毀他們的神柱，砍倒他們神祇的雕像，將他們的名字由那地方完全消除。
And you will break down altars their and you will shatter sacred pillars their and Asherah poles their you will burn! with fire and [the] images of gods their you will cut down! and you will destroy name their from the place that.
4 你們不可像他們那樣崇拜上主你們的天主。
Not you will do! thus to Yahweh God your.
5 上主你們的天主，將由你們各支派中選擇一個地方，為立自己的名號，為做自己的住所，你們只可到那裏去尋求他，
That except to the place where he will choose Yahweh God your from all tribes your to put name his there to dwelling its you will resort and you will go there towards.
6 在那裏奉獻你們的全燔祭、祭獻、什一之物、獻儀、還願祭、自願祭，以及首生的牛羊；
And you will bring there towards burnt offerings your and sacrifices your and tithes your and [the] contribution of hand your and votive offerings your and freewill offerings your and [the] firstborn of herd[s] your and flock[s] your.
7 在那裏你們和你們的家屬，應在上主你們的天主面前宴會歡樂，因為上主你們的天主祝福了你們的一切事業。
And you will eat there before Yahweh God your and you will rejoice in every undertaking of hand your you and households your which he has blessed you Yahweh God your.
8 你們不要照我們今日在這裏所行的，各行其是，
Not you must do! according to all that we [are] doing here this day everyone all the right in own eyes his.
9 因為你們至今還沒有到安居之地，還沒有到上主你的天主賜給你為業的地方。
For not you have come until now to the resting place and to the inheritance which Yahweh God your [is] about to give to you.
10 但是，當你們過了約但河，住在上主你們的天主賜給你們為業的地方，脫免了四周的仇敵，安居樂業時，
And you will pass over the Jordan and you will dwell in the land which Yahweh God your [is] giving as an inheritance you and he will give rest to you from all enemies your from round about and you will dwell security.
11 你們應在上主你們的天主所選定為立自己名號的地方，奉獻我所吩咐的一切：即你們的全燔祭、獻祭、什一之物、獻儀，以及一切向上主許願應獻的禮品；
And it will be the place which he will choose Yahweh God your it to cause to dwell name his there there towards you will bring all that I [am] commanding you burnt offerings your and sacrifices your tithes your and [the] contribution of hand your and all [the] choicest of votive offerings your which you will vow to Yahweh.
12 你們和你們的兒女、僕婢，以及在你們城鎮裏的肋未人，都應在上主你們的天主面前一同歡樂，因為肋未人沒有在你們中分得產業。
And you will rejoice before Yahweh God your you and sons your and daughters your and [male] servants your and female servants your and the Levite who [is] in gates your for not [belongs] to him a portion and an inheritance with you.
13 你應小心，不可在你所見的任何地方奉獻你的全燔祭；
Take heed to yourself lest you should offer up burnt offerings your in every place which you will see.
14 只可在上主由你一支派中所選定的地方，奉獻你的全燔祭，行我所規定的一切。
That except in the place which he will choose Yahweh in one of tribes your there you will offer up burnt offerings your and there you will do all that I [am] commanding you.
15 但是你可在各城鎮內，依照上主你的天主所賜與你的祝福，隨意殺牲食肉；不潔和潔淨的，人都可以吃，如吃羚羊和鹿肉一樣；
Only in all [the] desire of self your you will slaughter - and you will eat meat according to [the] blessing of Yahweh God your which he has given to you in all gates your the unclean and the clean he will eat it like gazelle and like deer.
16 只有血，你們不可以吃，你應將血和水一樣潑在地上。
Only the blood not you must eat on the ground you will pour out it like water.
17 你所收的五穀、酒、油的十分之一，你的頭胎牛羊，你許願獻的供物，或自願獻的供物以及你手中的獻儀，都不可在你的城鎮內吃，
Not you will be able to eat in gates your [the] tithe of grain your and new wine your and fresh oil your and [the] firstborn of herd your and flock your and all votive offerings your which you will vow and freewill offerings your and [the] contribution of hand your.
18 只可在上主你的天主面前，在上主你的天主選定的地方，你和你的兒女、僕婢，以及在你城鎮內的肋未人一起吃；在上主你的天主面前，為了你的一切事業而歡樂。
That except before Yahweh God your you will eat it in the place which he will choose Yahweh God your it you and son your and daughter your and [male] servant your and female servant your and the Levite who [is] in gates your and you will rejoice before Yahweh God your in every undertaking of hand your.
19 你要留意，在你的地域內，永不可忘記肋未人。
Take heed to yourself lest you should neglect the Levite all days your on land your.
20 當上主你的天主，照他對你所許的，擴展了你的疆域時，你若說：「我想吃肉，」你既然想肉吃，你可以任意吃肉。
If he will enlarge Yahweh God your territory your just as he spoke to you and you will say I want to eat meat for it will desire appetite your to eat meat in all [the] desire appetite your you will eat meat.
21 若上主你的天主選定建立自己名號的地方離你太遠，你可照我吩咐你的，宰殺上主賜給你的牛羊，在你的城鎮內任意吃，
If it will be [too] far for you the place where he will choose Yahweh God your to put name his there and you will slaughter some of herd your and some of flock your which he has given Yahweh to you just as I commanded you and you will eat in gates your in all [the] desire of self your.
22 全如吃羚羊和鹿肉一樣；不潔和潔淨的，人都可以一起吃。
Surely just as it is eaten the gazelle and the deer so you will eat it the unclean and the clean alike he will eat it.
23 但應記住：不可吃血，因為血是生命，你不可將生命與肉一起吃。
Only be strong to not to eat the blood for the blood it [is] the life and not you must eat the life with the meat.
24 你不可吃血，應將血和水一樣潑在地上。
Not you must eat it on the ground you will pour out it like water.
25 你不要吃血，好使你和你的後代子孫能享幸福，因為你行了上主眼中視為正直的事。
Not you must eat it so that it may go well for you and for children your after you for you will do the right in [the] eyes of Yahweh.
26 至於你所獻的聖物和許願的祭品，應帶到上主所揀選的地方去；
Only holy things your which they will belong to you and votive offerings your you will take and you will go to the place which he will choose Yahweh.
27 將你的全燔祭、肉和血全獻在上主你的天主的祭壇上；至於其他的祭獻，應將血倒在上主你的天主的祭壇上，肉可以吃。
And you will make burnt offerings your the flesh and the blood on [the] altar of Yahweh God your and [the] blood of sacrifices your it will be poured out on [the] altar of Yahweh God your and the flesh you will eat.
28 你應謹慎聽從我吩咐你的這一切事，好使你和你的後代子孫永遠享福，因為你行了上主你的天主眼中視為善良和正直的事。
Take care and you will hear all the words these which I [am] commanding you so that it may go well for you and for children your after you until perpetuity for you will do the good [thing] and the right in [the] eyes of Yahweh God your.
29 當上主你的天主，將你所要進佔之地的民族，由你面前剷除，而你佔領了他們的地方，住在那裏的時候，
If he will cut off Yahweh God your the nations where you [are] about to go there towards by dispossessing them from before you and you will dispossess them and you will dwell in land their.
30 你應小心，不要在他們由你面前消滅以後，你自己反受迷惑，去仿傚他們；也不要探究他們的神說：「這些民族怎樣事奉了他們的神，我也要怎樣去做。」
Take heed to yourself lest you should be ensnared after them after have been destroyed they from before you and lest you should enquire of gods their saying how? do they serve the nations these gods their so I may do thus also I.
31 對上主你的天主，你不可這樣做，因為凡上主所憎恨的可惡之事，他們對自己的神都做了；甚至為自己的神，用火焚燒了自己的子女。
Not you will do thus to Yahweh God your for every abomination of Yahweh which he hates they have done to gods their for also sons their and daughters their they burn with fire to gods their.
32 凡我吩咐你們的事，你們應謹慎遵行；不可加添，也不可刪除。
Every word which I [am] commanding you it you will take care to do not you must add to it and not you must diminish from it.
