< 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 Moises clepide al Israel, and seide to hym, Here, thou Israel, the cerymonyes and domes, whiche Y speke to dai in youre eeris; lerne ye tho, and `fille ye in werk.
2 上主我們的天主在曷勒布與我們立了約。
Oure Lord God made a boond of pees with vs in Oreb;
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。
he made not couenaunt, `that is, of lawe writun, with oure fadris, but with vs that ben present, and lyuen.
4 上主在山上,從火中面對面地與你們談過話。
Face to face he spak to vs in the hil, fro the myddis of the fier.
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:「
Y was recouncelere and mediatour bitwixe God and you in that tyme, that Y schulde telle to you the wordis `of hym, for ye dredden the fier, and `stieden not in to the hil. And `the Lord seide,
6 我是上主,你的天主,我曾領你離開埃及地,那為奴之家,
Y am thi Lord God, that ladde thee out of the lond of Egipt, fro the hows of seruage.
7 除我以外,你不可有別的神。
Thou schalt not haue alien Goddis in my siyt.
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。
Thou schalt not make to thee a grauun ymage, nether a licnesse of alle thingis that ben in heuene aboue, and that ben in erthe bynethe, and that lyuen in watris vndur erthe;
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;
thou schalt not herie tho, `and thou schalt not worschipe tho; for Y am thi Lord God, `God a feruent louyer; and Y yelde the wickidnesse of fadris, in to sones in to the thridde and the fourthe generacioun to hem that haten 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 Y do mersy in to many thousyndis to hem that louen me, and kepen myn heestis.
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。
Thou schalt not mystake the name of thi Lord God in veyn, for he schal not be vnpunyschid, that takith the name of God on a veyn thing.
12 當照上主,你的天主吩咐的,遵守安息日,奉為聖日。
Kepe thou the `day of sabat that thou halewe it, as thi Lord God comaundide to thee.
13 六天你當勞作,做你一切工作;
In sixe daies thou schalt worche, and thou schalt do alle thi werkis;
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。
the seventhe day is `of sabat, that is the reste of thi Lord God. Thou schalt not do therynne ony thing of werk; thou, and thi sone, and douyter, seruaunt, and handmaide, and oxe, and asse, and `al thi werk beeste, and the pilgrym which is with ynne thi yatis; that thi seruaunt reste and thin handmaide, as also thou.
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。
Bithenke thou, that also thou seruedist in Egipt, and thi Lord God ledde thee out fro thennus, in a strong hond, and arm holdun forth; therfor he comaundide to thee, that thou schuldist kepe the `dai of sabat.
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。
Onoure thi fadir and thi modir, as thi Lord God comaundide to thee, that thou lyue in long tyme, and that it be wel to thee, in the lond which thi Lord God schal yyue to thee.
17 不可殺人。
Thou schalt not sle.
18 不可姦淫。
Thou schalt not do letcherie.
19 不可偷盜。
And thou schalt not do thefte.
20 不可作假見證害你的近人。
Thou schalt not speke fals witnessyng ayens thi neiybore.
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。」
Thou schalt not coueite `the wijf of thi neiybore, not hows, not feeld, not seruaunt, not handmayde, not oxe, not asse, and alle thingis that ben hise.
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 spak these wordis to al youre multitude, in the hil, fro the myddis of fier and of cloude and of myist, with greet vois, and addide no thing more; and he wroot tho wordis in two tablis of stoon, whiche he yaf 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,
Forsothe after that ye herden the vois fro the myddis of the derknessis, and sien the hil brenne, alle ye princis of lynagis, and the grettere men in birthe, neiyiden to me, and seiden, Lo!
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!
oure Lord God schewide to vs his maieste and greetnesse; we herden his vois fro the myddis of fier, and we preueden to day that a man lyuede, `while God spak with man.
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。
Whi therfor schulen we die, and schal this gretteste fier deuoure vs? For if we heren more the vois of oure Lord God, we schulen 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﹖
What is ech man, that he here the vois of God lyuynge, that spekith fro the myddis of fier, as we herden, and that he may lyue?
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。」
Rathere neiye thou, and here thou alle thingis whiche oure Lord God schal seie to thee; and thou schalt speke to vs, and we schulen here, and schulen do tho wordis.
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。
And whanne the Lord hadde herd this, he seide to me, Y herde the vois of the wordis of this puple, whiche thei spaken to thee; thei spaken wel alle thingis.
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。
Who schal yyue `that thei haue siche soule, that thei drede me, and kepe alle my comaundementis in al tyme, that it be wel to hem and to the sones `of hem, with outen ende?
30 你去對他們說:你們回到你們的帳幕內去。
Go thou, and seye to hem, Turne ye ayen in to youre tentis.
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。」
Sotheli stonde thou here with me, and Y schal speke to thee alle comaundementis, and cerymonyes, and domes, whiche thou schalt teche hem, that thei do tho in the lond which Y schal yyue to hem in to possessioun.
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。
Therfor kepe ye, and `do ye tho thingis, whiche the Lord God comaundide to you; ye schulen not bowe awey, nether to the riyt side nether to the left side,
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。
but ye schulen go bi the weie whiche youre Lord God comaundide, that ye lyue, and that it be wel to you, and that youre daies be lengthid in the lond of youre possessioun.
