< 申命記 34 >
1 梅瑟由摩阿布曠野上了乃波山,上到耶里哥對面的丕斯加峰,上主就將全地指給他看:即由基肋阿得直到丹,
Moses went up from the plains of Moab to Mount Nebo, to the top of Pisgah, that is over against Jericho. YHWH showed him all the land of Gilead, to Dan,
2 納斐塔里和厄弗辣因及默納協全地,直達西海的猶大全境,
and all Naphtali, and the land of Ephraim and Manasseh, and all the land of Judah as far as the western sea,
and the Negev, and the Plain of the Valley of Jericho the city of palm trees, to Zoar.
4 上主對他說:「這就是我對亞巴郎、依撒格和雅各伯誓許說我要給你後裔的土地。我讓你親眼看見,但你不能過去。」
YHWH said to him, "This is the land which I swore to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, saying, 'I will give it to your descendants.' I have caused you to see it with your eyes, but you shall not go over there."
5 上主的僕人梅瑟遂死在那裏,按上主所預定的,死在摩阿布地。
So Moses the servant of YHWH died there in the land of Moab, according to the word of YHWH.
6 上主將他葬在摩阿布地,面對貝特培敖爾的一個山谷內;直到今日沒有人知道埋葬他的地方。
And he buried him in the valley in the land of Moab over against Beth Peor: but no man knows of his tomb to this day.
7 梅瑟死時,已一百二十歲;他的眼睛未花,精力也未衰退。
Moses was one hundred twenty years old when he died: his eye was not dim, nor his natural vigor diminished.
8 以色列子民在摩阿布曠野哀悼了梅瑟三十日。為梅瑟舉哀的日期滿了,
The children of Israel wept for Moses in the plains of Moab thirty days: so the days of weeping in the mourning for Moses were ended.
9 農的兒子若蘇厄,因梅瑟曾按手在他身上,充滿了智慧之神;為此,以色列子民都聽從他,全照上主向梅瑟所吩咐的去行。
Joshua the son of Nun was full of the spirit of wisdom; for Moses had laid his hands on him: and the children of Israel listened to him, and did as YHWH commanded Moses.
10 以後在以色列中,再沒有興起一位像梅瑟一樣的先知,與上主面對面地來往;
There has not arisen a prophet since in Israel like Moses, whom YHWH knew face to face,
11 至於上主派他在埃及地,向法郎,和他的一切臣僕,並向他全地所行的一切神蹟和奇蹟,
in all the signs and the wonders, which YHWH sent him to do in the land of Egypt, to Pharaoh, and to all his servants, and to all his land,
12 以及他在全以色列眼前所行的一切大能作為,和一切令人畏懼的大事,也沒有人能與他相比。
and in all the mighty hand, and in all the great terror, which Moses worked in the sight of all Israel.
