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。
Moses called to all Israel, and said to them, “Hear, Israel, the statutes and the ordinances which I speak in your ears today, that you may learn them, and observe to 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 a covenant 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 didn’t make this covenant with our fathers, but with us, even us, who are all of us here alive today.
4 上主在山上，從火中面對面地與你們談過話。
The LORD spoke with you face to face on the mountain out of the middle 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 stood between the LORD and you at that time, to show you the LORD’s word; for you were afraid because of the fire, and didn’t go up onto 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 brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
7 除我以外，你不可有別的神。
“You shall have no other gods before 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 shall not make a carved image for yourself—any likeness of what is in heaven above, or what is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water 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 shall not bow yourself down to them, nor serve them, for I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children and on the third and on the fourth generation of those who hate me
10 對於愛我，守我誡命的人，我對他們施行仁慈，直到千代。
and showing loving kindness to thousands of those who love me and keep my commandments.
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 shall not misuse the name of the LORD your God; for the LORD will not hold him guiltless who misuses his name.
12 當照上主，你的天主吩咐的，遵守安息日，奉為聖日。
“Observe the Sabbath day, to keep it holy, as the LORD your God commanded you.
13 六天你當勞作，做你一切工作；
You shall labour six days, and 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, in which you shall not do any work—neither you, nor your son, nor your daughter, nor your male servant, nor your female servant, nor your ox, nor your donkey, nor any of your livestock, nor your stranger who is within your gates; that your male servant and your female servant may 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。
You shall remember that you were a servant in the land of Egypt, and the LORD your God brought you out of there by a mighty hand and by an outstretched arm. Therefore the LORD your God commanded you 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。
“Honour your father and your mother, as the LORD your God commanded you, that your days may be long and that it may go well with you in the land which the LORD your God gives you.
17 不可殺人。
“You shall not murder.
18 不可姦淫。
“You shall not commit adultery.
19 不可偷盜。
“You shall not steal.
20 不可作假見證害你的近人。
“You shall not give false testimony 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。」
“You shall not covet your neighbour’s wife. Neither shall you desire your neighbour’s house, his field, or his male servant, or his female servant, his ox, or his donkey, or anything that 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。
The LORD spoke these words to all your assembly on the mountain out of the middle of the fire, of the cloud, and of the thick darkness, with a great voice. He added no more. He wrote them on two stone tablets, 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，
When you heard the voice out of the middle of the darkness, while the mountain was burning with fire, you came near to me, even all the heads of your tribes, and your elders;
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 you said, “Behold, the LORD our God has shown us his glory and his greatness, and we have heard his voice out of the middle of the fire. We have seen today that God does speak with man, and he lives.
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。
Now therefore, why should we die? For this great fire will consume us. If we hear the LORD our God’s voice any more, then we shall die.
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 who is there of all flesh who has heard the voice of the living God speaking out of the middle of the fire, as we have, and lived?
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。」
Go near, and hear all that the LORD our God shall say, and tell us all that the LORD our God tells you; and we will hear it, 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。
The LORD heard the voice of your words when you spoke to me; and the LORD said to me, “I have heard the voice of the words of this people which they have spoken to you. They have well said all that they have spoken.
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。
Oh that there were such a heart in them that they would fear me and keep all my commandments always, that it might be well with them and with their children forever!
30 你去對他們說：你們回到你們的帳幕內去。
“Go tell them, ‘Return 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, stand here by me, and I will tell you all the commandments, and the statutes, and the ordinances, which you shall teach them, that they may do them in the land which I give them to possess.”
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。
You shall observe to do therefore as the LORD your God has commanded you. You shall not turn 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。
You shall walk in all the way which the LORD your God has commanded you, that you may live and that it may be well with you, and that you may prolong your days in the land which you shall possess.
