< 申命記 26 >
1 當你進入上主你的天主賜給你作產業的土地,佔領後住在那裏時,
And whanne thou hast entrid in to the lond which thi Lord God schal yyue to thee to welde, and thou hast gete it, and hast dwellid therynne,
2 應由上主你的天主賜給你的土地上,將一切田產的初熟之物,取出一部分放在筐裏,往上主你的天主選定立自己名號的地方去,
thou schalt take the firste fruytis of alle thi fruytis, and thou schalt putte in a panyere; and thou schalt go to the place which thi Lord God chees, that his name be inwardly clepid there.
3 到當時供職的司祭前,對他說:「我今日向上主我的天主明認,我已來到了上主對我們的祖先誓許賜與我們的地方。」
And thou schalt go to the preest, that schal be in tho daies, and thou schalt seie to hym, Y knowleche to dai bifor thi Lord God, that Y entride in to the lond, for which he swoor to oure fadris, that he schulde yyue it to vs.
4 司祭就由你手中接過筐子,放在上主你的天主的祭壇前;
And the preest schal take the panyere of thin hond, and schal sette bifor the auter of thi Lord God.
5 然後你就在上主你的天主面前聲明說:「我的祖先原是個飄泊的阿蘭人,下到埃及,同少數的家人寄居在那裏,竟成了一強大有力,人口眾多的民族。
And thou schalt speke in the siyt of thi Lord God, Sirus pursuede my fadir, `which fadir yede doun in to Egipt, and was a pilgrym there in feweste noumbre; and he encreesside in to a greet folk, and strong, and of multitude without noumbre.
And Egipcians turmentiden vs, and pursueden, and puttiden greuouseste birthuns.
7 我們向上主我們祖先的天主呼號,上主俯聽了我們的哀聲,垂視了我們的苦痛、勞役和所受的壓迫。
And we crieden to the Lord God of oure fadris, which herde vs, and bihelde oure mekenesse, and trauel, and angwischis;
8 上主以強力的手,伸展的臂,巨大的恐嚇,神蹟奇事,領我們出了埃及,
and he ledde vs out of Egipt in myyti hond, and arm holdun forth, in grete drede, in myraclis, and grete wondris,
and ledde vs in to this place; and yaf to vs a lond flowynge with mylk and hony.
10 上主,請看! 我現今帶來了你賜給我的田地裏所出產的初熟之物。」遂將這初熟之物放在上主你的天主面前,俯伏朝拜上主你的天主。
And therfor Y offre now to thee the fyrste fruytis of the fruitis of the lond which the Lord yaf to me. And thou schalt leeue tho in the siyt of thi Lord God. And whanne thi Lord God is worchipid,
11 然後你與肋未人,和住在你中間的外方人,歡樂享受上主你的天主賜與你和你家庭的一切福分。
thou schalt ete in alle the goodis whiche thi Lord God yaf to thee and to thin hows, thou, and the dekene, and the comelyng which is with thee.
12 在第三年,即獻什一之年,當你把你一切出產十分之一,完全取出,分給肋未人、外方人、孤兒和寡婦,並使他們在你的城鎮中吃飽之後,
Whanne thou hast fillid the tithe of alle thi fruytis, in the thridde yeer of tithis, thou schalt yyue to the dekene, and to the comelyng, and to the fadirles, ether modirles child, and to widewe, that thei ete with ynne thi yatis, and be fillid.
13 你應到上主你的天主面前說:「我由我家中完全交出了這祝聖的一份,分給了肋未人、外方人、孤兒和寡婦,全照你吩咐我的命令;我沒有違犯你的命令,也沒有忽略。
And thou schalt speke in the siyt of thi Lord God, Y haue take awai that that is halewid of myn hows, and Y yaf it to the dekene, and to the comelyng, to the fadirles, ethir modirles child, and to the widewe, as thou comaundidist to me; Y passide not thi comaundementis, Y foryat not thin heest.
14 這些聖物,在我居喪時,我沒有取食;在不潔中,我沒有交出,更沒有獻給死人;我聽從了上主我的天主的話,全照你吩咐我的一切履行了。
Y ete not of tho thingis in my morenyng, nether Y departide tho in ony vnclennesse, nethir Y spendide of tho ony thing in biriyng of deed body, `that is, in makynge feestis therof in biryynge of deed men. Y obeiede to the vois of my Lord God, and Y dide alle thingis as thou comaundidist to me.
15 願你由你神聖的住所,由天上俯視,祝福你的人民以色列,和你賜給我們的土地,即你向我們祖先所誓許的那流奶流蜜的地方。」
Bihold thou fro thi seyntuarie, fro the hiy dwellyng place of heuene, and blesse thou thi puple Israel, and the lond which thou hast youe to vs, as thou `hast swoore to oure fadris; the lond flowynge with mylk and hony.
16 上主你的天主今天吩咐你遵行這些法令和規則,你應全心全靈謹守遵行。
To dai thi Lord God comaundide to thee, that thou do these comaundementis and domes, that thou kepe and fille of al thin herte, and of al thi soule.
17 今天你明認上主是你的天主,願履行他的道路,謹守他的法令、誡命和規則,聽從他的話。
Thou hast chose the Lord to day, that he be God to thee, and thou go in hise weies, and thou kepe hise cerymonyes, and heestis, and domes, and obeie to his comaundement.
18 上主今天也照他對你所說的,明認你為他特屬的人民,只要你謹守他的一切誡命,
Lo! the Lord chees thee to day, that thou be a special puple to hym, as he spak to thee, and that thou kepe alle hise comaundementis;
19 並且他要使你在名譽、聲望和光榮上,遠超過他所造的一切民族,使你如他所說的,成為屬於上主你的天主的聖潔人民。」
and he schal make thee hiyere than alle folkis, whiche he made in to his preisyng, and name, and glorie; that thou be an holi puple of thi Lord God, as he spak to thee.
