< 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。
“‘You shall make for yourselves no idols, and you shall not raise up a carved image or a pillar, and you shall not place any figured stone in your land, to bow down to it; for I am the LORD your God.
2 你們應遵守我的安息日,尊敬我的聖所;我是上主。
“‘You shall keep my Sabbaths, and have reverence for my sanctuary. I am the LORD.
3 如果你們履行我得法令,遵守我的命令,一一依照執行,
“‘If you walk in my statutes and keep my commandments, 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 I will give you your rains in their season, and the land shall yield its 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。
Your threshing shall continue until the vintage, and the vintage shall continue until the sowing time. You shall eat your bread to the full, and dwell in your land safely.
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。
“‘I will give peace in the land, and you shall lie down, and no one will make you afraid. I will remove evil animals out of the land, neither shall the sword go through your land.
You shall chase your enemies, 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。
Five of you shall chase a hundred, and a hundred of you shall chase ten thousand; and your enemies shall 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,
“‘I will have respect for you, make you fruitful, 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。
You shall eat old supplies long kept, and you shall move out the old because of the new.
I will set my tent among you, and my soul won’t abhor you.
12 我必住在你們中間,做你們的天主,你們做我的百姓。
I will walk among you, and will be your God, and you will be my 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 am the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, that you should not be their slaves. I have broken the bars of your yoke, and made you walk upright.
“‘But if you will not listen to 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 you shall reject my statutes, and if your soul abhors my ordinances, so that you will not do all my commandments, but 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 to you: I will appoint terror over you, even consumption and fever, that shall consume the eyes, and make the soul to pine away. You will sow your seed in vain, for your enemies will eat it.
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。
I will set my face against you, and you will be struck before your enemies. Those who hate you will rule over you; and you will flee when no one pursues 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,
“‘If you in spite of these things will not listen to me, then I will chastise you seven times more 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,
I will break the pride of your power, and I will make your sky like iron, and your soil like 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。
Your strength will be spent in vain; for your land won’t yield its increase, neither will the trees of the land 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 you walk contrary to me, and won’t listen to me, then I will bring seven times more plagues on you 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。
I will send the wild animals among you, which will rob you of your children, destroy your livestock, and make you few in number. Your roads will become desolate.
23 如果我用這些事還不能懲戒你們,你們仍然與我作對,
“‘If by these things you won’t be turned back to me, but will walk contrary 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 I will also walk contrary to you; and I will strike you, even I, 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。
I will bring a sword upon you that will execute the vengeance of the covenant. You will be gathered together within your cities, and I will send the pestilence among you. You will be delivered into the hand of the 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 break your staff of bread, ten women shall bake your bread in one oven, and they shall deliver your bread again by weight. You shall eat, and not be satisfied.
“‘If you in spite of this won’t listen to me, but walk contrary 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 I will walk contrary to you in wrath. I will also chastise 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。
You will eat the flesh of your sons, and you will eat the flesh of your daughters.
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。
I will destroy your high places, and cut down your incense altars, and cast your dead bodies upon the bodies of your idols; and my soul will 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。
I will lay your cities waste, and will bring your sanctuaries to desolation. I will not take delight in the sweet fragrance of your offerings.
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。
I will bring the land into desolation, and your enemies who dwell in it will be astonished at it.
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。
I will scatter you among the nations, and I will draw out the sword after you. Your land will be a desolation, and your cities shall be a waste.
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 the land will enjoy its Sabbaths as long as it lies desolate and you are in your enemies’ land. Even then the land will rest and enjoy its 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。
As long as it lies desolate it shall have rest, even the rest which it didn’t have in your Sabbaths when you lived on it.
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。
“‘As for those of you who are left, I will send a faintness into their hearts in the lands of their enemies. The sound of a driven leaf will put them to flight; and they shall flee, as one flees from the sword. They will fall when no one pursues.
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,
They will stumble over one another, as it were before the sword, when no one pursues. You will have no power to stand before your enemies.
You will perish among the nations. The land of your enemies will 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]
Those of you who are left will pine away in their iniquity in your enemies’ lands; and also in the iniquities of their fathers they shall pine away with them.
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。
“‘If they confess their iniquity and the iniquity of their fathers, in their trespass which they trespassed against me; and also that because they walked contrary 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 walked contrary to them, and brought them into the land of their enemies; if then their uncircumcised heart is humbled, and they then accept 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 I will remember my covenant with Jacob, my covenant with Isaac, and also my covenant with Abraham; and I will remember the land.
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。
The land also will be left by them, and will enjoy its Sabbaths while it lies desolate without them; and they will accept the punishment of their iniquity because they rejected my ordinances, and their soul abhorred my statutes.
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。
Yet for all that, when they are in the land of their enemies, I will not reject them, neither will I abhor them, to destroy them utterly and to break my covenant with them; for I am the LORD 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。「
But I will for their sake remember the covenant of their ancestors, whom I brought out of the land of Egypt in the sight of the nations, that I might be their God. I am the LORD.’”
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, ordinances, and laws, which the LORD made between him and the children of Israel in Mount Sinai by Moses.
