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。
Observe the month of Abib, and prepare the passover-sacrifice unto the Lord thy God; for in the month of Abib did the Lord thy God bring thee forth 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。
And thou shalt sacrifice the passover-offering unto the Lord thy God of sheep and oxen, in the place which the Lord will choose to let his name dwell there.
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。
Thou shalt not eat therewith any leavened bread: seven days shalt thou eat therewith unleavened bread, the bread of affliction; for in haste didst thou go forth out of the land of Egypt; in order that thou mayest remember the day of thy going forth out of the land of Egypt all the days of thy life.
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。
And there shall not be seen with thee any leaven in all thy borders seven days: neither shall there any of the flesh, which thou sacrificedst in the evening, on the first day, remain all night 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；
Thou mayest not slay the passover within any of thy gates, which the Lord thy God giveth thee;
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。
But at the place which the Lord thy God will choose to let his name dwell in, there shalt thou slay the passover at evening, at the going down of the sun, at the season that thou camest forth out of 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。
And thou shalt roast and eat it in the place which the Lord thy God will choose; and thou shalt turn in the morning, and go unto thy 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。
Six days shalt thou eat unleavened bread; and on the seventh day shall be a solemn assembly to the Lord thy God: thou shalt do no work.
9 你應數七個星期，從鐮刀收割莊稼算起，數七個星期，
Seven weeks shalt thou number unto thyself: from the time thou beginnest to put the sickle to the corn, shalt thou begin to number seven weeks.
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。
And thou shalt keep the feast of weeks unto the Lord thy God with a tribute of a freewill-offering of thy hand, which thou shalt give: according as the Lord thy God shall have blessed thee.
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。
And thou shalt rejoice before the Lord thy God, thou, and thy son, and thy daughter, and thy man-servant, and thy maid-servant, and the Levite that is within thy gates, and the stranger, and the fatherless, and the widow, that are in the midst of thee, in the place which the Lord thy God will choose to let his name dwell there.
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。
And thou shalt remember that thou hast been a bond-man in Egypt; and thou shalt observe and do these statutes.
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。
The feast of tabernacles shalt thou hold for thyself seven days, when thou hast gathered in the produce of thy threshing-floor and of thy wine-press:
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。
And thou shalt rejoice on thy feast, thou, and thy son, and thy daughter, and thy man-servant, and thy maid-servant, and the Levite, and the stranger, and the fatherless, and the widow, that are within thy gates.
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。
Seven days shalt thou keep a solemn feast unto the Lord thy God in the place which the Lord will choose; because the Lord thy God will bless thee in all thy product, and in all the work of thy hands, and thou shalt only rejoice.
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，
Three times in the year shall every one of thy males appear before the Lord thy God in the place which he will choose: on the feast of unleavened bread, and on the feast of weeks, and on the feast of tabernacles; and no one shall appear before the Lord empty;
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。
Every man according to what his hand can give, according to the blessing of the Lord thy God which he hath given thee.
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，
Judges and officers shalt thou appoint unto thyself in all thy gates, which the Lord thy God giveth thee, throughout thy tribes: and they shall judge the people with a just judgment.
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；
Thou shalt not wrest judgment; thou shalt not respect persons, and thou shalt not take a bribe; for the bribe blindeth the eyes of the wise, and perverteth the words of the righteous.
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。
Justice, only justice shalt thou pursue; in order that thou mayest live, and retain possession of the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee.
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；
Thou shalt not plant unto thyself a grove, any tree, near the altar of the Lord thy God, which thou shalt make unto thyself.
22 也不可立置上主你的天主所憎惡的石碣。
Neither shalt thou set thee up any statue, which the Lord thy God hateth.
