申命記 5
1 梅瑟召集了全以色列人，對他們說：「請聽我今日向你們耳中所宣示的法令和規則，務要學習遵行。
And Moses sent for all Israel, and said to them, Give ear, O Israel, to the laws and the decisions which I give you today, and give attention to them so that you may keep and do them.
2 上主我們的天主在曷勒布與我們立了約。
The Lord our God made an agreement with us in Horeb.
3 上主並不是與我們的祖先立了這約，而是與我們今日在這裏尚生存的眾人。
The Lord did not make this agreement with our fathers but with us, who are all living and present here today.
4 上主在山上，從火中面對面地與你們談過話。
The word of the Lord came to you face to face on the mountain, out of the heart of the fire,
5 那時我站在上主和你們中間，給你們傳達上主的話，因為你們一見火便害了怕，沒有上到山上去。上主說：「
(I was between the Lord and you at that time, to make clear to you the word of the Lord: because, through fear of the fire, you did not go up the mountain; ) saying,
6 我是上主，你的天主，我曾領你離開埃及地，那為奴之家，
I am the Lord your God, who took you out of the land of Egypt, out of the prison-house.
7 除我以外，你不可有別的神。
You are to have no other gods but me.
8 你不可為自己雕刻偶像，或製造任何上天下地，或地下水中所有各物的形像。
You may not make for yourselves an image in the form of anything in heaven or on earth or in the waters under the earth:
9 你不可叩拜，也不可事奉這樣的偶像，因為我上主，你的天主是忌邪的天主。對於恨我的人，我必在子孫身上追罰他們祖先的罪惡，直到第三代，第四代；
You may not go down on your faces before them or give them worship: for I, the Lord your God, am a God who will not give his honour to another; and I will send punishment on the children for the wrongdoing of their fathers, to the third and fourth generation of my haters;
10 對於愛我，守我誡命的人，我對他們施行仁慈，直到千代。
And I will have mercy through a thousand generations on those who have love for me and keep my laws.
11 你不可妄呼上主，你天主的名，因為上主決不放過妄呼他名的人。
You are not to make use of the name of the Lord your God for an evil purpose; whoever takes the Lord's name on his lips for an evil purpose will be judged as a sinner by the Lord.
12 當照上主，你的天主吩咐的，遵守安息日，奉為聖日。
Keep the Sabbath day as a holy day, as you have been ordered by the Lord your God.
13 六天你當勞作，做你一切工作；
On six days do all your work:
14 第七天是上主你天主的安息日，你和你的子女、僕婢、牛驢、你所有的牲畜，以及住在你城內的外方人，都不應做任何工作，好使你的僕婢能和你一樣獲得安息。
But the seventh day is a Sabbath to the Lord your God; on that day do no work, you or your son or your daughter, or your man-servant or your woman-servant, or your ox or your ass or any of your cattle, or the man from a strange country who is living among you; so that your man-servant and your woman-servant may have rest as well as you.
15 你應記得：你在埃及地也曾做過奴隸，上主你的天主以大能的手和伸展的臂，將你從那裏領出來；為此，上主你的天主吩咐你守安息日。
And keep in mind that you were a servant in the land of Egypt, and that the Lord your God took you out of that land by his strong hand and his stretched-out arm: for this reason the Lord has given you orders to keep the Sabbath day.
16 應照上主你的天主吩咐你的，孝敬你的父母，好使你能享高壽，並在上主你的天主賜給你的土地內，獲享幸福。
Give honour to your father and your mother, as you have been ordered by the Lord your God; so that your life may be long and all may be well for you in the land which the Lord your God is giving you.
17 不可殺人。
Do not put anyone to death without cause.
18 不可姦淫。
Do not be false to the married relation.
19 不可偷盜。
Do not take the property of another.
20 不可作假見證害你的近人。
Do not give false witness against your neighbour;
21 不可貪戀你近人的妻子；不可貪圖你近人的房屋、田地、僕婢、牛驢，以及屬於你近人的一切事物。」
Or let your desire be turned to your neighbour's wife, or his house or his field or his man-servant or his woman-servant or his ox or his ass or anything which is your neighbour's.
22 這是上主在山上，由火中，由濃雲黑暗裏，大聲對你們會眾所說的話，再沒有加添什麼；並將這些話寫在兩塊石版上，交給了我。
These words the Lord said to all of you together on the mountain, out of the heart of the fire, out of the cloud and the dark, with a great voice: and he said no more; he put them in writing on the two stones of the law and gave them to me.
23 當山上火燄四射，你們聽到由黑暗中發出來的聲音時，你們各支派的首領和長老，都來到我跟前，
And after hearing the voice which came out of the dark while the mountain was burning with fire, all the heads of your tribes and your chiefs came to me,
24 說：「看，上主我們的天主，使我們看見了他的榮耀和偉大，我們也聽見了他由火中發出的聲音；今日我們見了天主與人說話，而人還能生存!
And said, The Lord has let us see his glory and his power, and his voice has come to us out of the fire: today we have seen that a man may go on living even after hearing the voice of God.
25 現在，我們為什麼要冒死，為這大火所吞滅﹖如果我們繼續聽上主我們天主的聲音，我們必死無疑。
Why then is death to be our fate? For if the voice of the Lord our God comes to us any more, death will overtake us, and we will be burned up in this great fire.
26 因為凡有血肉的人，有誰如我們一樣，聽到永生的天主由火中說話的聲音，而仍能生存呢﹖
For what man is there in all the earth, who, hearing the voice of the living God as we have, out of the heart of the fire, has been kept from death?
27 請你近前去，聆聽上主我們的天主所說的一切；然後你將上主我們的天主對你所說的話，轉告給我們；我們必聽從，也必遵行。」
Do you go near: and after hearing everything which the Lord our God has to say, give us an account of all he has said to you, and we will give ear, and do it.
28 你們對我所說的話，上主聽見了；遂對我說：「我聽見了這人民對你所說的話；他們所說的都對。
Then the Lord, hearing your words to me, said to me, The words which this people have said to you have come to my ears: what they have said is well said.
29 惟願他們常存這樣的心思，敬畏我，遵行我的一切誡命，好使他們和他們的子孫永享幸福。
If only they had such a heart in them at all times, so that they might go in fear of me and keep my orders and that it might be well for them and for their children for ever!
30 你去對他們說：你們回到你們的帳幕內去。
Now say to them, Go back to your tents.
31 但是，你應留在我這裏，我要將一切誡命。法令和規則訓示你，你再教訓他們，好叫他們在我賜給他們作為產業的地上遵行。」
But as for you, keep your place here by me, and I will give you all the orders and the laws and the decisions which you are to make clear to them, so that they may do them in the land which I am giving them for their heritage.
32 所以你們應完全照上主你們的天主所吩咐你們的行事，不可偏右偏左。
Take care, then, to do whatever the Lord your God has given you orders to do; let there be no turning away to the right hand or to the left.
33 在一切事上，只應履行上主你們的天主給你們指定的道路，好使你們在你們要去佔領的地方，得以生存、興盛、長壽。
Go on walking in the way ordered for you by the Lord your God, so that life may be yours and it may be well for you, and your days may be long in the land of your heritage.
