申命記 16
1 你應遵守「阿彼布」月，為上主你的天主舉行逾越節，因為在「阿彼布」月的一個夜裏，上主你的天主領你出了埃及。
You are to observe the month of Abib and to celebrate the Passover to the Lord your God, because it was in the month of Abib that the Lord your God led you out of Egypt by night.
2 你應在上主所選定立自己名號的地方，給上主你的天主祭殺牛羊，作為逾越節犧牲。
The Passover sacrifice from your herd or flock must be offered to the Lord your God in the place where the Lord will choose to live with you.
3 吃這祭肉時，不可吃發酵餅；七天之內，當吃無酵餅，即困苦餅，因為你曾倉猝地走來出了埃及地。為此你一生應天天記念你出埃及的日子。
Don't eat ordinary bread with it. For seven days you are to eat bread made without yeast with it, the bread of hardship, because you had to leave Egypt in such a hurry. This way you'll remember day you left Egypt for the rest of your lives.
4 七天之久，在你全境內不許見到酵母；你前一天晚上祭獻的牲肉，不可有剩下的，留到早晨。
Don't have yeast anywhere in your country for seven days. Don't keep any of the meat that you sacrifice on the evening of the first day until the morning.
5 你不可在上主你的天主賜給你的任何城鎮內，祭殺逾越節犧牲；
Don't sacrifice the Passover animal in any of the towns that the Lord your God is giving you.
6 只可在上主你的天主所選定立自己名號的地方，晚上太陽快落時，就是你出埃及的時刻，祭殺逾越節犧牲。
The Passover sacrifice must be offered by you only at the place where the Lord your God will choose to live with you. You are to do this in the evening at sunset-the same time you left Egypt.
7 並應在上主你的天主所選定的地方，將祭牲煮熟分食；到了早晨，你可回到你的帳棚中去。
Cook it and eat it in the place the Lord your God will choose. Then in the morning go back to your tents.
8 六天內應吃無酵餅，到第七天，應為上主你的天主召開盛會，任何勞工都不許做。
Eat bread without yeast for six days, and the on the seventh day you are to have a holy meeting to honor the Lord your God. You are not to do any work.
9 你應數七個星期，從鐮刀收割莊稼算起，數七個星期，
Count off seven weeks from when you start the grain harvest.
10 為上主你的天主舉行七七節，照上主你的天主祝福你的，獻上你手中自願獻的祭品。
Then celebrate the Festival of Weeks to honor him the Lord your God by giving him a freewill offering, depending on just how much the Lord your God has blessed you.
11 你和你的兒女、僕婢，以及在你城鎮內的肋未人，在你中間的外方人、孤兒和寡婦，都應在上主你的天主所選定立自己名號的地方，於上主你的天主面前歡樂。
You will celebrate in the Lord's presence in the place where he will choose to live with you. This includes you, your sons and daughters, your male and female slaves, and the Levites who live in your towns, as well as the foreigners, orphans, and widows among you.
12 應記得你在埃及也曾做過奴隸，所以應謹守遵行這些法令。
Don't forget that you were once slaves in Egypt, and be careful to follow these regulations.
13 你由禾場和榨酒池內收藏了出產以後，應七天舉行帳棚節。
Celebrate the Festival of Shelters for seven days once you have finished threshing your grain and pressing your grapes.
14 在這慶節內，你和你的兒女、僕婢，以及在你城鎮內的肋未人、外方人、孤兒和寡婦都應歡樂。
Enjoy your feast—you, your sons and daughters, your male and female slaves, and the Levites who live in your towns, as well as the foreigners, orphans, and widows among you.
15 你應在上主所選定的地方，為上主你的天主舉行這慶節七天，因為上主你的天主，要在你的一切收穫和你著手進行的一切事業上祝福你，使你滿心喜樂。
Celebrate this Festival for seven days to honor the Lord your God in the place he will choose, because the Lord your God will bless your whole harvest and everything you do, so you will be really happy.
16 每年三次，即在無酵節、七七節和帳棚節，你所有的男子都應到上主所選的地方去，朝拜上主你的天主；但不要空手出現在上主面前，
All your men must come before the Lord your God in the place He will choose three times every year: the Festival of Bread without Yeast, the Festival of Weeks, and the Festival of Shelters. No one should come before the Lord without an offering.
17 每人應照上主你的天主賜與你的，依自己的財力，奉獻禮品。
Each of you is to bring whatever gift you can, depending on how much the Lord your God has blessed you.
18 在上主你的天主賜給你的各城鎮內，要為各支派設立判官和書記，他們應按照公道審判人民，
Choose judges and officials for each of your tribes in every town that the Lord your God is giving you. They must judge the people fairly.
19 不可違犯公平，不可徇情顧面，不可接受賄賂，因為賄賂令智慧人的眼目失明；
Don't pervert justice or show favoritism. Don't take a bribe, for a bribe blinds the wise and twists the words of the truthful.
20 只應追求公道與正義，好叫你能生存，佔有上主你的天主賜給你的土地。
Always do what is right and just, so that you may go on living, occupying the land that the Lord your God is giving you.
21 在你為上主你的天主所建的祭壇旁，不許豎立任何木頭的神柱；
Don't ever set up a wooden Asherah pole next to the altar you build for the Lord your God,
22 也不可立置上主你的天主所憎惡的石碣。
and don't make for yourselves an idolatrous stone pillar, which the Lord your God hates.
