申命记 26
1 “你进去得了耶和华—你 神所赐你为业之地居住，
When you enter the land that the LORD your God is giving you as an inheritance, and you take possession of it and settle in it,
2 就要从耶和华—你 神赐你的地上将所收的各种初熟的土产取些来，盛在筐子里，往耶和华—你 神所选择要立为他名的居所去，
you are to take some of the firstfruits of all your produce from the soil of the land that the LORD your God is giving you and put them in a basket. Then go to the place the LORD your God will choose as a dwelling for His Name,
3 见当时作祭司的，对他说：‘我今日向耶和华—你 神明认，我已来到耶和华向我们列祖起誓应许赐给我们的地。’
to the priest who is serving at that time, and say to him, “I declare today to the LORD your God that I have entered the land that the LORD swore to our fathers to give us.”
4 祭司就从你手里取过筐子来，放在耶和华—你 神的坛前。
Then the priest shall take the basket from your hands and place it before the altar of the LORD your God,
5 你要在耶和华—你 神面前说：‘我祖原是一个将亡的亚兰人，下到埃及寄居。他人口稀少，在那里却成了又大又强、人数很多的国民。
and you are to declare before the LORD your God, “My father was a wandering Aramean, and he went down to Egypt few in number and lived there and became a great nation, mighty and numerous.
6 埃及人恶待我们，苦害我们，将苦工加在我们身上。
But the Egyptians mistreated us and afflicted us, putting us to hard labor.
7 于是我们哀求耶和华—我们列祖的 神，耶和华听见我们的声音，看见我们所受的困苦、劳碌、欺压，
So we called out to the LORD, the God of our fathers; and the LORD heard our voice and saw our affliction, toil, and oppression.
8 他就用大能的手和伸出来的膀臂，并大可畏的事与神迹奇事，领我们出了埃及，
Then the LORD brought us out of Egypt with a mighty hand and an outstretched arm, with great terror, signs, and wonders.
9 将我们领进这地方，把这流奶与蜜之地赐给我们。
And He brought us to this place and gave us this land, a land flowing with milk and honey.
10 耶和华啊，现在我把你所赐给我地上初熟的土产奉了来。’随后你要把筐子放在耶和华—你 神面前，向耶和华—你的 神下拜。
And now, behold, I have brought the firstfruits of the land that You, O LORD, have given me.” Then you are to place the basket before the LORD your God and bow down before Him.
11 你和利未人，并在你们中间寄居的，要因耶和华—你 神所赐你和你家的一切福分欢乐。
So you shall rejoice—you, the Levite, and the foreigner dwelling among you—in all the good things the LORD your God has given to you and your household.
12 “每逢三年，就是十分取一之年，你取完了一切土产的十分之一，要分给利未人和寄居的，与孤儿寡妇，使他们在你城中可以吃得饱足。
When you have finished laying aside a tenth of all your produce in the third year, the year of the tithe, you are to give it to the Levite, the foreigner, the fatherless, and the widow, that they may eat and be filled within your gates.
13 你又要在耶和华—你 神面前说：‘我已将圣物从我家里拿出来，给了利未人和寄居的，与孤儿寡妇，是照你所吩咐我的一切命令。你的命令我都没有违背，也没有忘记。
Then you shall declare in the presence of the LORD your God, “I have removed from my house the sacred portion and have given it to the Levite, the foreigner, the fatherless, and the widow, according to all the commandments You have given me. I have not transgressed or forgotten Your commandments.
14 我守丧的时候，没有吃这圣物；不洁净的时候，也没有拿出来，又没有为死人送去。我听从了耶和华—我 神的话，都照你所吩咐的行了。
I have not eaten any of the sacred portion while in mourning, or removed any of it while unclean, or offered any of it for the dead. I have obeyed the LORD my God; I have done everything You commanded me.
15 求你从天上、你的圣所垂看，赐福给你的百姓以色列与你所赐给我们的地，就是你向我们列祖起誓赐我们流奶与蜜之地。’”
Look down from Your holy habitation, from heaven, and bless Your people Israel and the land You have given us as You swore to our fathers—a land flowing with milk and honey.”
16 “耶和华—你的 神今日吩咐你行这些律例典章，所以你要尽心尽性谨守遵行。
The LORD your God commands you this day to follow these statutes and ordinances. You must be careful to follow them with all your heart and with all your soul.
17 你今日认耶和华为你的 神，应许遵行他的道，谨守他的律例、诫命、典章，听从他的话。
Today you have proclaimed that the LORD is your God and that you will walk in His ways, keep His statutes and commandments and ordinances, and listen to His voice.
18 耶和华今日照他所应许你的，也认你为他的子民，使你谨守他的一切诫命，
And today the LORD has proclaimed that you are His people and treasured possession as He promised, that you are to keep all His commandments,
19 又使你得称赞、美名、尊荣，超乎他所造的万民之上，并照他所应许的使你归耶和华—你 神为圣洁的民。”
that He will set you high in praise and name and honor above all the nations He has made, and that you will be a holy people to the LORD your God, as He has promised.
