申命記 32
1 蒼天，傾聽，我要發言；大地，聆聽我口要說的話!
Hearken, ye heauens, and I will speake: and let the earth heare the words of my mouth.
2 願我的教訓如雨下降，我的言語似露滴落，像降在綠茵上的細雨，像落在青草上的甘霖!
My doctrine shall drop as the raine, and my speach shall stil as the dew, as the showre vpon the herbes, and as the great raine vpon the grasse.
3 因為我要宣揚上主的名，請讚頌我們的天主!
For I will publish the name of the Lord: giue ye glorie vnto our God.
4 他是磐石，他的作為完美無比；他的行徑公平正直，他是忠實無妄的天主，公義而又正直。
Perfect is the worke of the mighty God: for all his wayes are iudgement. God is true, and without wickednesse: iust, and righteous is he.
5 那不堪稱為子女的，自趨墮落，背叛了他，實在是個邪惡敗壞的世代!
They haue corrupted them selues towarde him by their vice, not being his children, but a frowarde and crooked generation.
6 愚昧無知的人民，你們就這樣報答上主嗎﹖他不是生育你，創造你，使你生存的大父嗎﹖
Doe ye so rewarde the Lord, O foolish people and vnwise? is not he thy father, that hath bought thee? he hath made thee, and proportioned thee.
7 你回想往古的時日，思念歷代的歲月；問你的父親，問你的長輩，他必給你講述；
Remember the dayes of olde: consider the yeeres of so many generations: aske thy father, and he will shewe thee: thine Elders, and they will tell thee.
8 當至高者為民族分配產業時，分佈人的子孫時，按照天使的數目，為萬民劃定了疆界；
When the most hie God deuided to the nations their inheritance, when he separated the sonnes of Adam, he appoynted the borders of the people, according to the nomber of the children of Israel.
9 但雅各伯是上主所保留的一分，以色列成為他特有的產業。
For the Lordes portion is his people: Iaakob is the lot of his inheritance.
10 上主在曠野之地，在野獸咆哮的原野，發見了他，遂將他抱起，加以撫育，加以保護，有如自己的眼珠。
He found him in ye land of ye wildernes, in a waste, and roaring wildernes: he led him about, he taught him, and kept him as ye apple of his eye.
11 老鷹怎樣守候自己的窩巢，飛翔在幼雛之上，上主也怎樣伸展雙翅，把他背在自己的翼上。
As an eagle stereth vp her nest, flootereth ouer her birdes, stretcheth out her wings, taketh them, and beareth them on her wings,
12 上主獨自領導了他，他旁邊並沒有外邦的神祇。
So the Lord alone led him, and there was no strange god with him.
13 上主使他馳騁於高原之上，以田間的出產養育他，使他享受巖穴間的蜜，堅石中的油，
He caryed him vp to the hie places of the earth, that he might eate the fruites of the fieldes, and he caused him to sucke hony out of the stone, and oyle out of the hard rocke:
14 牛酪和羊乳，肥美的羔羊和公羊，巴商的公牛與山羊，以及上等的麥麵；並以葡萄美酒作你的飲品。
Butter of kine, and milke of sheepe with fat of the lambes, and rammes fed in Bashan, and goates, with the fat of the graines of wheat, and the red licour of the grape hast thou drunke.
15 雅各伯吃肥了，耶叔戎吃胖了，會踢人了。──的確，你胖了，肥了，飽滿了。──他遂拋棄了造他的天主，輕視了救他的磐石。
But he that should haue bene vpright, when he waxed fat, spurned with his heele: thou art fat, thou art grosse, thou art laden with fatnes: therefore he forsooke God that made him, and regarded not the strong God of his saluation.
16 他們以邪神的敬禮激起他的妒火，以可憎惡的事物，惹他動怒；
They prouoked him with strange gods: they prouoked him to anger with abominations.
17 他們所祭祀的是邪神，而非真神，是向來所不認識的神，是近來新興，你們的祖先所不敬畏的神。
They offred vnto deuils, not to God, but to gods whome they knew not: new gods that came newly vp, whome their fathers feared not.
18 你忽略了那生你的磐石，忘記了那使你出世的天主。
Thou hast forgotten the mightie God that begate thee, and hast forgotten God that formed thee.
19 上主一見，大為震怒，遂拋棄了自己的子女，
The Lord then sawe it, and was angrie, for the prouocation of his sonnes and of his daughters.
20 說我要掩面不顧他們，要看他們的結局如何；這實在是敗壞的一代，毫無信實的子女。
And he said, I will hide my face from the: I will see what their ende shalbe: for they are a frowarde generation, children in who is no faith.
21 他們以虛妄之神，激起我的怒火，以虛無之物，惹我動怒；我也要以那不成子民的人激起他們的妒火，以愚昧的民族惹他們發怒。
They haue moued me to ielousie with that which is not God: they haue prouoked me to anger with their vanities: and I will moue them to ielousie with those which are no people: I wil prouoke them to anger with a foolish nation.
For fire is kindled in my wrath, and shall burne vnto the bottome of hell, and shall consume the earth with her increase, and set on fire the foundations of the mountaines. (Sheol h7585)
23 我要將災禍不斷加在他們身上，向他們射盡我的箭矢。
I will spend plagues vpon them: I will bestowe mine arrowes vpon them.
24 他們必因饑餓而衰弱，必為熱症、毒疫所消滅；我還使尖牙的野獸和土中爬行的毒蟲傷害他們。
They shalbe burnt with hunger, and consumed with heate, and with bitter destruction: I will also sende the teeth of beastes vpon them, with the venime of serpents creeping in the dust.
25 外有刀劍，內有恐怖，使少男少女，乳兒白頭，同歸於盡。
The sworde shall kill them without, and in the chambers feare: both the yong man and the yong woman, the suckeling with the man of gray heare.
26 我原想粉碎他們，將他們的記念由人間消滅；
I haue said, I would scatter them abroade: I would make their remembrance to cease from among men,
27 但我怕仇人自誇，怕敵人誤會說：「是我的手得勝了，而不是上主行了這一切。」
Saue that I feared the furie of the enemie, least their aduersaries should waxe proude, and least they should say, Our hie hande and not the Lord hath done all this:
28 他們原是無謀的民族，沒有一點見識。
For they are a nation voide of counsel, neither is there any vnderstanding in them.
29 如果他們有點智慧，定會明瞭此事，看清未來的局勢。
Oh that they were wise, then they would vnderstand this: they would consider their latter ende.
30 「若不是他們的磐石出賣了他們，上主放棄了他們一人怎能追擊一千，兩人怎能打跑一萬﹖」
How should one chase a thousand, and two put ten thousande to flight, except their strong God had sold the, and the Lord had shut them vp?
31 連我們的仇人也承認，他們的磐石不如我們的磐石。
For their god is not as our God, euen our enemies being iudges.
32 誠然，他們的葡萄秧，出自索多瑪的葡萄園，來在哈摩辣的田園；他們的葡萄是毒葡萄，粒粒葡萄皆酸苦。
For their vine is of the vine of Sodom, and of the vines of Gomorah: their grapes are grapes of gall, their clusters be bitter.
33 他們的酒是蛇的毒汁，是蝮蛇的猛烈毒液。
Their wine is the poyson of dragons, and the cruel gall of aspes.
34 這事豈不是貯藏在我身旁，封閉在我府庫裏﹖
Is not this laide in store with me, and sealed vp among my treasures?
35 等到他們失足之時，我必復仇報復；他們滅亡的日子確已臨近，給他們預定的命運就要來到。
Vengeance and recompence are mine: their foote shall slide in due time: for the day of their destruction is at hand, and the things that shall come vpon them, make haste.
36 因為上主要衛護自己的人民，憐恤自己的僕人。當他看見他們的能力已逝，奴隸與自由人已到絕境，
For the Lord shall iudge his people, and repent towarde his seruants, when hee seeth that their power is gone, and none shut vp in holde nor left abroad.
37 必問說：「他們的神祇在那裏，他們投靠的磐石究在何處﹖
When men shall say, Where are their gods, their mighty God in whome they trusted,
38 一向吃他們祭牲脂肪的，喝他們奠祭酒漿的，都在那裏﹖讓他們起來援助你們罷! 讓他們做你們的保障罷!
Which did eate the fat of their sacrifices, and did drinke the wine of their drinke offring? let them rise vp, and help you: let him be your refuge.
39 現在你們應認清，只有我是「那一位，」除我以外沒有別神；我使人死，也使人活；我擊傷人，也加以治療；誰也不能由我手中救出。
Behold now, for I, I am he, and there is no gods with me: I kill, and giue life: I wound, and I make whole: neither is there any that can deliuer out of mine hand.
40 我向天舉手宣誓：我生活至於永遠!
For I lift vp mine hand to heauen, and say, I liue for euer.
41 我一磨亮我的刀劍，我一掌握裁判權，必向我的敵人雪恨，對恨我的人報復。
If I whet my glittering sworde, and mine hand take holde on iudgement, I will execute vengeance on mine enemies, and will rewarde them that hate me.
42 我要使我的箭矢醉飲鮮血，使我的刀劍吞食血肉：陣亡和俘虜的鮮血，仇敵將領的頭顱。」
I will make mine arrowes drunke with blood, (and my sword shall eate flesh) for the blood of the slaine, and of the captiues, when I beginne to take vengeance of the enemie.
43 萬國，你們應向他的百姓祝賀! 因為上主必為自己的僕人報血仇，向仇敵報復，聖潔自己的土地和百姓。
Ye nations, praise his people: for he will auenge the blood of his seruants, and will execute vengeance vpon his aduersaries, and will bee mercifull vnto his lande, and to his people.
44 梅瑟和農的兒子若蘇厄前來，將這篇詩歌的話朗誦給百姓聽。
Then Moses came and spake all ye words of this song in the audience of the people, he and Hoshea the sonne of Nun.
45 梅瑟向全以色列人一朗誦完了，
When Moses had made an end of speaking all these wordes to all Israel,
46 就對他們說：「你們應把我今日警告你們的一切話記在心內，好吩咐你們的子孫，謹守遵行這法律上的一切話。
Then hee said vnto them, Set your heartes vnto all the wordes which I testifie against you this day, that ye may commande them vnto your children, that they may obserue and doo all the wordes of this Lawe.
47 因為這為你們不是空洞的話，而是關係你們的生命；由於遵守這話，你們纔能在過約但河後所要佔領的地上，長久居留。」
For it is no vaine worde concerning you, but it is your life, and by this worde ye shall prolong your dayes in the land, whither yee go ouer Iorden to possesse it.
48 上主就在當天對梅瑟說：「
And the Lord spake vnto Moses the selfe same day, saying,
49 你到摩阿布去，上這座阿巴陵山，即面對耶里哥的乃波山上去，觀看我要給以色列子民作產業的客納罕地。
Goe vp into the mountaine of Abarim, vnto the mount Nebo, which is in the lande of Moab, that is ouer against Iericho: and beholde the lande of Canaan, which I giue vnto the children of Israel for a possession,
50 你要死在你所上的山上，歸到你本族那裏，像你哥哥亞郎死在曷爾山，歸到他本族那裏一樣。
And die in the mount which thou goest vp vnto, and thou shalt be gathered vnto thy people, as Aaron thy brother died in mount Hor, and was gathered vnto his people,
51 因為你們在親曠野，卡德士的默黎巴水邊，在以色列子民中對我失信，沒有在他們中尊我為聖；
Because ye trespassed against me among the children of Israel, at the waters of Meribah, at Kadesh in the wildernesse of Zin: for ye sanctified me not among the children of Israel.
52 為此，我賜給以色列子民的地方，你只可由對面眺望，卻不能進去。」
Thou shalt therefore see the lande before thee, but shalt not go thither, I meane, into the land which I giue the children of Israel.
