< 申命記 27 >
1 梅瑟與以色列的長老吩咐人民說:「你們應遵守我今天吩咐你們的一切命令。
And Moses and the elders of Israel commanded the people, saying, Keep all the commandment which I command you this day.
2 在你們過約但河,進入上主你的天主賜給你的土地的那一天,應豎立幾塊大石,塗上石灰;
And it shall be on the day when ye shall pass over the Jordan unto the land which Jehovah thy God giveth thee, that thou shalt set thee up great stones, and plaster them with plaster:
3 在你過河進入上主你的天主賜給你的地方,即上主你祖先的天主許給你的流奶流蜜的地方之後,要立即將這法律的一切話刻在上面。
and thou shalt write upon them all the words of this law, when thou art passed over; that thou mayest go in unto the land which Jehovah thy God giveth thee, a land flowing with milk and honey, as Jehovah, the God of thy fathers, hath promised thee.
4 所以,你們一過了約但河,就該照我今日吩咐你們的,在厄巴耳山上豎立這些石頭,塗上石灰;
And it shall be, when ye are passed over the Jordan, that ye shall set up these stones, which I command you this day, in mount Ebal, and thou shalt plaster them with plaster.
5 並在那裏給上主你的天主建築一座祭壇,一座未用斧鑿的石頭修的祭壇;
And there shalt thou build an altar unto Jehovah thy God, an altar of stones: thou shalt lift up no iron [tool] upon them.
6 應用未加入人工的石頭建築上主你的天主的祭壇,在上面給上主你的天主奉獻全燔祭,
Thou shalt build the altar of Jehovah thy God of unhewn stones; and thou shalt offer burnt-offerings thereon unto Jehovah thy God:
7 祭獻和平祭,並在那裏設宴,在上主你的天主面前歡樂。
and thou shalt sacrifice peace-offerings, and shalt eat there; and thou shalt rejoice before Jehovah thy God.
8 在這些石頭上,應清清楚楚刻上這法律的一切話。」
And thou shalt write upon the stones all the words of this law very plainly.
9 梅瑟和肋未司祭對全以色列人說:「以色列人! 你們應靜默細聽:你今天既成了上主你的天主的人民,
And Moses and the priests the Levites spake unto all Israel, saying, Keep silence, and hearken, O Israel: This day thou art become the people of Jehovah thy God.
10 就應聽從上主你的天主的話,遵行我今日給你吩咐的上主的誡命和法令。」
Thou shalt therefore obey the voice of Jehovah thy God, and do his commandments and his statutes, which I command thee this day.
And Moses charged the people the same day, saying,
12 你們過了約但河以後,應站在革黎斤山上祝福人民的,是西默盎、肋未、猶大、依撒加爾、若瑟和本雅明;
These shall stand upon mount Gerizim to bless the people, when ye are passed over the Jordan: Simeon, and Levi, and Judah, and Issachar, and Joseph, and Benjamin.
13 站在厄巴耳山上宣布詛咒的,是勒烏本、加得、阿協爾、則步隆、丹和納斐塔里。
And these shall stand upon mount Ebal for the curse: Reuben, Gad, and Asher, and Zebulun, Dan, and Naphtali.
And the Levites shall answer, and say unto all the men of Israel with a loud voice,
