利未記 26

1 你們不可製造神像，亦不可立雕像或石柱；在你們境內，亦不可安置石像，供人朝拜，因為我上主是你們的天主。

Ye shall not make unto you idols, —neither image nor pillar, shall ye set up for yourselves, nor sculptured stone, shall ye place in your land, to bow yourselves down thereunto, -For, I Yahweh, am your God.

2 你們應遵守我的安息日，尊敬我的聖所；我是上主。

My sabbaths, shall ye observe, And, my sanctuary, shall ye revere, —I, am Yahweh.

3 如果你們履行我得法令，遵守我的命令，一一依照執行，

If, in my statutes, ye will walk, —And my commandments, ye will observe, and do them,

4 我必按時給你們降下雨露，地必供給出產，田野的樹木必結出果實。

Then will I give your rains in their season, —And the land shall yield her increase, And, the trees of the field, shall yield their fruit.

5 你們打禾必打到收葡萄的時期，收葡萄必收到播種的時期；你們必有糧食吃飽，。在境內安居樂業。

Then shall your threshing reach unto the vintage, And, the vintage, shall reach unto the seedtime, —And ye shall eat your food to the full, And shall dwell securely in your land.

6 我必賜國內太平，你們睡下，沒有驚擾；我必使境內的猛獸消滅，刀劍也不侵入你們境內。

And I will give peace in the land, And ye shall lie down, and nothing shall make you afraid; And I will take away vicious beasts out of the land; And, the sword, shall not go through your land.

7 你們追擊仇敵時，他們必在你們面前喪身刀下。

And ye shall chase your foes, —And they shall fall before you by the sword;

8 你們五人要追擊一百，你們百人要追擊一萬；你們的仇敵必在你們面前喪身刀下。

And, five, of you shall chase, a hundred, And, a hundred, of you shall put ten thousand to flight, —So shall your foes fall before you, by the sword.

9 我必眷顧你們，使你們繁殖增多；我必固守我與你們所立的盟約，

And I will turn unto you, And make you fruitful, —And multiply you, And will establish my covenant with you.

10 你們要吃久藏的陳糧，要清出陳糧，為貯藏新糧。

And ye shall eat old store well seasoned, —And the old from before the new, shall ye put forth.

11 我必在你們中間安置我的住所，再不厭惡你們。

And I will set my habitation in your midst, —And my soul shall not abhor you;

12 我必住在你們中間，做你們的天主，你們做我的百姓。

But I will walk to and fro in your midst, And will be unto you a God, And, ye, shall be unto me a people.

13 我上主是你們的天主，是我領你們出離了埃及地，不再做他們的奴隸；是我打斷了你們軛上的橫木，另你們昂首前進。違法的禍患

I—Yahweh, am your God who brought you forth out of the land of Egypt, that ye should not be their bondmen; so I brake in pieces the staves of your yoke, and caused you to walk, erect.

14 但是，如果你們不聽從我，不執行這一切命令；

But, if ye will not hearken unto me, And will not do all these commandments;

15 如果你們棄絕我的法令，厭惡我的制度，不遵行我的一切命令，而破壞我的盟約，

And if, my statutes, ye refuse, And, my regulations, your souls shall abhor, —So that ye will not do all my commandments, But shall break my covenant

16 我必要這樣與你們作對，使你們恐怖，換肺癆瘧疾，眼目昏花，心靈憔悴；你們的種子，白白播種，因為你們的仇敵要來吃盡。

I also, will do this unto you—I will set over you, for terror, consumption and fever, Causing the eyes to fail and the soul to pine away, —And ye shall sow, in vain, your seed, for it shall be eaten by your foes.

17 我要板起臉來與你們作對，你們必為仇敵擊潰，那仇恨你們的要壓制你們；雖然沒有人追趕，你們也要望風而逃。

And I will set my face against you, And ye shall be smitten before your foes, -And be trodden down by them who hate you, And shall flee when no one is pursuing you.

18 如果這樣你們還不聽從我，為了你們的罪惡，我必要加重七倍懲罰你們，

And, if even with these things, ye will not hearken unto me, Then will I yet further correct you seven times, for your sins.

19 粉碎你們矜誇的力量，使你們的蒼天如鐵，使你們的土地像銅，

So will I break your pomp of power, And will set your heavens as iron, and your land as bronze;

20 使你們白廢氣力，地不供給出產，田野的樹木也不結果實。

And your strength shall be spent in vain, —And your land shall not yield her increase, And the trees of the land, shall not yield their fruit.

21 如果你們還與我作對，不願聽從我，我必按照你們的罪惡，加重七倍打擊你們，

If therefore, ye will go in opposition to me, And not be willing to hearken unto me, Then will I yet further plague you seven times according to your sins;

22 使野獸來傷害你們，奪去你們的子女，殘害你們的牲畜，減少你們的人口，使你們的街市變成廢墟。

And will send among you the wild-beast of the field And it shall rob you of your children, And cut off your cattle, And make you few in number; And your roads shall be silent.

23 如果我用這些事還不能懲戒你們，你們仍然與我作對，

And, if, by these things, ye will not be corrected by me, —But will go in opposition to me,

24 我也要與你們作對，為了你們的罪惡，必要加重七倍打擊你們。

Then will, I also, go in opposition to you. And, I, even I, will plague you seven times for your sins;

25 我必令刀劍臨於你們，為報復違背盟約的罪；如果你們退入城市，我俾使瘟疫來害你們，叫你們落在仇人手內。

And will bring in upon you a sword that shall inflict the covenanted avenging: So shall ye be gathered into your cities, —Then will I send a pestilence into your midst, And ye shall be delivered into the hand of an enemy.

26 當我給你們斷絕了糧源時，時個女人要在一個灶口上烤餅按定量給你們配給糧食；你們雖然吃，卻吃不飽。

When I have broken your staff of bread, then shall ten women bake your bread in one oven, And give back your bread by weight, —And ye shall eat and not be filled.

27 如果這樣，你們還不聽從我，仍然與我作對，

And, if, with this, ye will not hearken to me, —But will go in opposition to me,

28 我必發怒來與你們作對，為了你們的罪惡，我必加重七倍懲罰你們。

Then will I go in a rage of opposition to you, —And I, even I, will correct you seven times for your sins;

29 你們要吃你們兒子的肉，連你們女兒的肉也要吃。

And ye shall eat the flesh of your sons, —Yea, even the flesh of your daughters, shall ye eat.

30 我必破壞你們的丘壇，砍倒你們的香臺，將你們的屍首堆在你們的偶像的屍首上。我必厭惡你們。

And I will destroy your high places And cut down your sun-pillars, And cast your carcases upon the carcases of your manufactured gods, —Thus shall my soul abhor you.

31 使你們的城市變為曠野，聖所化為廢墟，不願再文你們祭品的馨香。

And I will give your cities unto desolation, And make your holy places dumb, —And will find no fragrance in your satisfying odour;

32 我俾使你們的地化為廢墟，甚至你的仇人來居住時，還驚奇不已。

And, I, will make the land dumb, And your foes that dwell therein shall regard it with dumb amazement:

33 我必將你們分散在各民族中，我要拔劍追逐你們，使你們的地成為廢墟城市變為曠野。

When, even you, I scatter among the nations, And make bare after you, a sword, Then shall your land become an astonishment, And your cities become a desolation.

34 當那地方變成荒野，而你們僑居在仇人的地方時，這整個時期，那地才補上了安息的時候；那時地要休息，補享安息年。

Then, shall the land be paid her sabbaths, All the days she lieth desolate, While, ye, are in the land of your foes, —Then, shall the land keep sabbath, And pay off her sabbaths:

35 那地方荒涼的整個時期內，才得到安息，補享你們居住時，在你們的安息年內，為享到的安息。

All the days she lieth desolate, shall she keep sabbath, —the which she kept not as your sabbaths, —while ye dwelt thereupon.

36 至於你中殘存的人，我俾使他們在仇人的地方膽戰心驚，甚至風吹落葉聲也把他們嚇跑，逃跑有如逃避刀劍；雖然無人追趕，他們也跌倒在地。

And as for such as are left of you, Then will I bring faintness into their heart, in the lands of their foes, —So that the sound of a driven leaf shall chase them, And they shall flee as though fleeing from a sword And they shall fall, when no one is pursuing;

37 雖然無人追趕，他們卻一人倒在另一人身上，如面臨刀劍。你們決不能抵擋你們的仇人，

And they shall stumble one upon another as from before a sword, when, pursuer there is none; And ye shall not have wherewith to stand before your foes;

38 只有在各民族中消滅，仇人的土地要把你吞下。

And ye shall perish among the nations, —And the land of your foes shall eat you up;

39 你們中殘存的人，必為了自己的罪惡，在仇人的地方，日漸衰弱，還要為了祖先的罪惡，日漸衰弱。[以色列要回頭改過]

And they who are left of you, shall melt away in their iniquity, in the lands of your foes; Yea also, in the iniquity of their fathers with them, shall they melt away.

40 他們終必承認自己的罪惡，祖先的罪惡，對我不忠與我作對的叛逆之罪。

Then shall they confess their iniquity, And the iniquity of their fathers, In their unfaithfulness wherewith they had been unfaithful towards me; Yea moreover, because they had gone in opposition to me,

41 當我與他們作對，將他們遷送到他們仇人的地方以後，他們未受割損的心，必會謙卑自下，要親乾情願受罰贖罪，

I also, must needs go in opposition to them, and bring them into the land of their foes, —Save only that, if, even then, their uncircumcised heart shall be humbled, And, even then, they shall accept as a payment the punishment of their iniquity,

42 我也想起我同雅各伯所結的盟約，想起同依撒格，同亞巴郎所結的盟約，也想起那地方來。

Then will I remember my covenant with Jacob Yea moreover, my covenant with Isaac, Yea moreover, my covenant with Abraham, will I remember; And the land, will I remember.

43 但那地方應為他們所放棄，好在他們離去，地方荒蕪時，才能補享安息年，同時他們也補贖自己的罪惡，這是因為他們棄絕了我的制度，厭惡了我的法令。

For, the land, shall be left of them, And shall be paid her sabbaths, while she lieth desolate without them, They also, accepting, as a payment, the punishment of their iniquity, Because, yea because, my regulations, they refused, And my statutes, their soul abhorred.

44 但是，即使這樣，當他們留在仇人的地方時，我仍不棄絕他們，也不厭惡他們，以致消滅他們，廢除我與他們結的盟約，因為我上主是他們的天主。

And yet even so when they are in the land of their foes I have not refused them Neither have I abhorred them To make an end of them, To break my covenant with them, —For, I—Yahweh, am their God.

45 我顧念他們，我還要想起我與他們祖先所結的盟約；我在各民族的眼前，由埃及地領出他們的祖先來，為做他們的天主：我是上主。「

Therefore will I remember in their behalf the covenant of their ancestors, —Whom, I brought forth out of the land of Egypt in the sight of the nations, that I might be their God—I—Yahweh.

46 這是上主在西乃山，於自己和以色列子民間，藉梅瑟所立定的法令、制度和法律。」

These are the statutes and the regulations and the laws, which Yahweh granted between himself, and the sons of Israel, —in Mount Sinai by the mediation of Moses.
