申命记 26
1 “你进去得了耶和华—你 神所赐你为业之地居住，
And it shall be when thou shalt have entered into the land, which the Lord thy God gives thee to inherit it, and thou shalt have inherited it, and thou shalt have dwelt upon 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，
that thou shalt take of the first of the fruits of thy land, which the Lord thy God gives thee, and thou shalt put them into a basket, and thou shalt go to the place which the Lord thy God shall choose to have his name called there.
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。’
And thou shalt come to the priest who shall be in those days, and thou shalt say to him, I testify this day to the Lord my God, that I am come into the land which the Lord sware to our fathers to give to us.
4 祭司就从你手里取过筐子来，放在耶和华—你 神的坛前。
And the priest shall take the basket out of thine hands, and shall set it before the altar of the Lord thy 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 he shall answer and say before the Lord thy God, My father abandoned Syria, and went down into Egypt, and sojourned there with a small number, and became there a mighty nation and a great multitude.
6 埃及人恶待我们，苦害我们，将苦工加在我们身上。
And the Egyptians afflicted us, and humbled us, and imposed hard tasks on us:
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，
and we cried to the Lord our God, and the Lord heard our voice, and saw our humiliation, and our labour, and our affliction.
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，
And the Lord brought us out of Egypt himself with his great strength, and his mighty hand, and his high arm, and with great visions, and with signs, and with 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 into 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 first of the fruits of the land, which thou gavest me, O Lord, a land flowing with milk and honey: and thou shalt leave it before the Lord thy God, and thou shalt worship before the Lord thy God;
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。
and thou shalt rejoice in all the good [things], which the Lord thy God has given thee, [thou] and thy family, and the Levite, and the stranger that is within thee.
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。
And when thou shalt have completed all the tithings of thy fruits in the third year, thou shalt give the second tenth to the Levite, and stranger, and fatherless, and widow; and they shall eat it in thy cities, and be merry.
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。
And thou shalt say before the Lord thy God, I have fully collected the holy things out of my house, and I have given them to the Levite, and the stranger, and the orphan, and the widow, according to all commands which thou didst command me: I did not transgress thy command, and I did not forget it.
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。
And in my distress I did not eat of them, I have not gathered of them for an unclean purpose, I have not given of them to the dead; I have hearkened to the voice of the Lord our God, I have done as thou hast 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 thy holy house, from heaven, and bless thy people Israel, and the land which thou hast given them, as thou didst swear to our fathers, to give to us 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。
On this day the Lord thy God charged thee to keep all the ordinances and judgments; and ye shall observe and do 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。
Thou hast chosen God this day to be thy God, and to walk in all his ways, and to observe his ordinances and judgments, and to hearken 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 the Lord has chosen thee this day that thou shouldest be to him a peculiar people, as he said, to keep his commands;
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。”
and that thou shouldest be above all nations, as he has made thee renowned, and a boast, and glorious, that thou shouldest be a holy people to the Lord thy God, as he has spoken.
