< 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。
Kepe thou the monethe of newe fruytis, and of the bigynnyng of somer, that thou make pask to thi Lord God; for in this monethe thi Lord God ledde thee out of Egipt in the nyyt.
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 schalt offre pask to thi Lord God, of scheep and of oxun, in the place which thi Lord God chees, that his name dwelle 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 schalt not ete `ther ynne breed `diyt with sourdouy; in seuene daies thou schalt ete breed of affliccioun, with out sourdouy, for in drede thou yedist out of Egipt, that thou haue mynde of the dai of thi goyng out of Egipt, in alle the daies of thi lijf.
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。
No thing `diyt with sourdouy schal appere in alle thi termes by seuene daies, and of the fleischis of that that is offrid in the euentid, schal not dwelle in the firste dai in the morewtid.
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 schalt not mow offre pask in ech of thi citees whiche thi Lord God schal yyue to 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 in the place which thi Lord God chees, that his name dwelle there; thou schalt offre pask in the euentid, at the goyng doun of the sunne, whanne thou yedist out of Egipt.
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 schalt sethe, and ete, in the place which thi Lord God hath chose, and thou schalt rise in the morewtid of the secunde dai, and thou schalt go in to thi tabernaclis.
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。
Bi sixe daies thou schalt ete therf breed; and in the seuenthe dai, for it is the gaderyng of thi Lord God, thou schalt not do werk.
9 你應數七個星期,從鐮刀收割莊稼算起,數七個星期,
Thou schalt noumbre to thee seuene woukis, fro that dai in which thou settidist a sikil in to the corn;
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 schalt halewe the feeste dai of woukis to thi Lord God, a wilful offryng of thyn hond, which thou schalt offre by the blessing of thi Lord God.
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 schalt ete bifore thi Lord God, thou, and thi sone, and thi douytir, and thi seruaunt, and thin handmayde, and the dekene which is with ynne thi yatis, and the comelynge, and the fadirles ethir modirles child, and the widue, that dwellen with you, in the place `which thi Lord God chees that his name dwelle 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 schalt haue mynde for thou were seruaunt in Egipt, and thou schalt kepe and do tho thingis that ben comaundid.
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。
And thou schalt halewe the solempnytee of tabernaclis bi seuene daies, whanne thou hast gaderid thi fruytis of the cornfloor, and pressour.
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 schalt ete in thi feeste dai, thou, and thi sone, and douytir, and thi seruaunt, and handmayde, also the dekene, and comelyng, and the fadirles ether modirles child, and the widewe, that ben with ynne thi yatis, `schulen ete.
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。
Bi seuene daies thou schalt halewe feestis to thi Lord God, in the place which the Lord chees; and thi Lord God schal blesse thee, in alle thi fruytis, and in al the werk of thin hondis, and thou schalt be in gladnesse.
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,
In thre tymes bi the yeer al thi male kynde schal appere in the siyt of thi Lord, in the place which he chees, in the solempnyte of therf looues, and in the solempnyte of woukis, and in the solempnyte of tabernaclis. A man schal not appere voide bifor the Lord;
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。
but ech man schal offre vpe this that he hath, bi the blessyng of his Lord God, which he yaf to `that man.
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,
Thou schalt ordeyne `iugis, and maystris, in alle thi yatis whiche thi Lord God schal yyue to thee, bi ech of thi lynagis, that thei deme the puple bi iust doom,
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;
and bowe not in `to the tother part for fauour, ethir yifte `ayens equete. Thou schalt not take persoone nether yiftis, for whi yiftis blynden the iyen of wise men, `and chaungen the wordis of iust men.
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。
Thou schalt pursue iustli that that is iust, that thou lyue and welde the lond which thi Lord God schal yyue to 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 schalt not plaunte a wode, and ech tre bi the auter of thi Lord God;
nether thou schalt make to thee, and ordeyne an ymage; whiche thingis thi Lord God hatith.
