< 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。
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;
It shall be on the day when you shall pass over the Jordan to the land which the LORD your God gives you, that you shall set yourself 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 you shall write on them all the words of this law, when you have passed over; that you may go in to the land which the LORD your God gives you, a land flowing with milk and honey, as the LORD, the God of your fathers, has promised you.
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;
It shall be, when you have passed over the Jordan, that you shall set up these stones, which I command you this day, in Mount Ebal, and you shall 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;
There you shall build an altar to the LORD your God, an altar of stones: you shall lift up no iron on 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,
You shall build the altar of the LORD your God of uncut stones; and you shall offer burnt offerings thereon to the LORD your 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 you shall sacrifice peace offerings, and shall eat there; and you shall rejoice before the LORD your God.
8 在這些石頭上,應清清楚楚刻上這法律的一切話。」
You shall write on 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,
Moses and the priests the Levites spoke to all Israel, saying, "Keep silence, and listen, Israel: this day you have become the people of the LORD your 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。」
You shall therefore obey the voice of the LORD your God, and do his commandments and his statutes, which I command you this day."
Moses commanded 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 on Mount Gerizim to bless the people, when you have 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。

The Levites shall answer, and tell all the men of Israel with a loud voice,
