申命记 29
1 这是耶和华在摩押地吩咐摩西与以色列人立约的话，是在他和他们于何烈山所立的约之外。
These are the words of the covenant that Jehovah commanded Moses to make with the children of Israel in the land of Moab, besides the covenant that he made with them in Horeb.
2 摩西召了以色列众人来，对他们说：“耶和华在埃及地，在你们眼前向法老和他众臣仆，并他全地所行的一切事，你们都看见了，
And Moses called to all Israel, and said unto them, Ye have seen all that Jehovah did before your eyes in the land of Egypt to Pharaoh, and to all his bondmen, and to all his land:
3 就是你亲眼看见的大试验和神迹，并那些大奇事。
the great trials that thine eyes have seen, those great signs and wonders.
4 但耶和华到今日没有使你们心能明白，眼能看见，耳能听见。
But Jehovah hath not given you a heart to perceive, and eyes to see, and ears to hear, to this day.
5 我领你们在旷野四十年，你们身上的衣服并没有穿破，脚上的鞋也没有穿坏。
And I have led you forty years in the wilderness; your clothes are not grown old upon you, and thy sandal is not grown old upon thy foot;
6 你们没有吃饼，也没有喝清酒浓酒。这要使你们知道，耶和华是你们的 神。
ye have not eaten bread, neither have ye drunk wine or strong drink, that ye might know that I am Jehovah your God.
7 你们来到这地方，希实本王西宏、巴珊王噩都出来与我们交战，我们就击杀了他们，
And ye came to this place; and Sihon the king of Heshbon and Og the king of Bashan came out against us for battle, and we smote them.
8 取了他们的地给吕便支派、迦得支派，和玛拿西半支派为业。
And we took their land, and gave it for an inheritance to the Reubenites, and to the Gadites, and to the half tribe of the Manassites.
9 所以你们要谨守遵行这约的话，好叫你们在一切所行的事上亨通。
Ye shall keep then the words of this covenant, and do them, that ye may prosper in all that ye do.
10 “今日，你们的首领、族长、长老、官长、以色列的男丁，你们的妻子儿女，和营中寄居的，以及为你们劈柴挑水的人，都站在耶和华—你们的 神面前，
Ye stand this day all of you before Jehovah your God: your chiefs [of] your tribes, your elders, and your officers, all the men of Israel,
your little ones, your wives, and thy stranger that is in thy camp, as well the hewer of thy wood as the drawer of thy water;
12 为要你顺从耶和华—你 神今日与你所立的约，向你所起的誓。
that thou mayest enter into the covenant of Jehovah thy God, and into his oath, which Jehovah thy God maketh with thee this day;
13 这样，他要照他向你所应许的话，又向你列祖亚伯拉罕、以撒、雅各所起的誓，今日立你作他的子民，他作你的 神。
that he may establish thee this day for a people unto himself, and [that] he may be to thee a God, as he hath said unto thee, and as he hath sworn unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob.
14 我不但与你们立这约，起这誓，
Neither with you only do I make this covenant and this oath,
15 凡与我们一同站在耶和华—我们 神面前的，并今日不在我们这里的人，我也与他们立这约，起这誓。
but with him that standeth here with us this day before Jehovah our God, and with him that is not here with us this day
16 “我们曾住过埃及地，也从列国经过；这是你们知道的。
(for ye know how we dwelt in the land of Egypt, and how we came through the nations which ye passed;
17 你们也看见他们中间可憎之物，并他们木、石、金、银的偶像。
and ye have seen their abominations, and their idols, wood and stone, silver and gold, which were among them);
18 惟恐你们中间，或男或女，或族长或支派长，今日心里偏离耶和华—我们的 神，去事奉那些国的神；又怕你们中间有恶根生出苦菜和茵 来，
lest there should be among you man, or woman, or family, or tribe, whose heart turneth away this day from Jehovah our God, to go and serve the gods of these nations; lest there should be among you a root that beareth gall and wormwood,
19 听见这咒诅的话，心里仍是自夸说：‘我虽然行事心里顽梗，连累众人，却还是平安。’
and it come to pass, when he heareth the words of this curse, that he bless himself in his heart, saying, I shall have peace, though I walk in the stubbornness of my heart, to sweep away the drunken with the thirsty.
20 耶和华必不饶恕他；耶和华的怒气与愤恨要向他发作，如烟冒出，将这书上所写的一切咒诅都加在他身上。耶和华又要从天下涂抹他的名，
Jehovah will not pardon him, but the anger of Jehovah and his jealousy will then smoke against that man, and all the curse shall be upon him that is written in this book; and Jehovah will blot out his name from under the heavens;
21 也必照着写在律法书上、约中的一切咒诅将他从以色列众支派中分别出来，使他受祸。
and Jehovah will separate him for mischief out of all the tribes of Israel, according to all the curses of the covenant that is written in this book of the law.
22 你们的后代，就是以后兴起来的子孙，和远方来的外人，看见这地的灾殃，并耶和华所降与这地的疾病，
And the generation to come, your children who shall rise up after you, and the foreigner that shall come from a far land, shall say, when they see the plagues of that land, and its sicknesses wherewith Jehovah hath visited it,
23 又看见遍地有硫磺，有盐卤，有火迹，没有耕种，没有出产，连草都不生长—好像耶和华在忿怒中所倾覆的所多玛、蛾摩拉、押玛、洗扁一样—
[that] the whole ground thereof is brimstone and salt, [and] burning, that it is not sown, nor beareth, and no grass groweth in it, like the overthrow of Sodom and Gomorrah, Admah and Zeboim, which Jehovah overthrew in his anger and in his fury:
24 所看见的人，连万国人，都必问说：‘耶和华为何向此地这样行呢？这样大发烈怒是什么意思呢？’
even all nations shall say, Why has Jehovah done thus to this land? whence the heat of this great anger?
25 人必回答说：‘是因这地的人离弃了耶和华—他们列祖的 神，领他们出埃及地的时候与他们所立的约，
And men shall say, Because they have forsaken the covenant of Jehovah the God of their fathers, which he had made with them when he brought them forth out of the land of Egypt;
26 去事奉敬拜素不认识的别神，是耶和华所未曾给他们安排的。
and they went and served other gods, and bowed down to them, gods whom they knew not, and whom he had not assigned to them.
27 所以耶和华的怒气向这地发作，将这书上所写的一切咒诅都降在这地上。
And the anger of Jehovah was kindled against this land, to bring upon it all the curse that is written in this book;
28 耶和华在怒气、忿怒、大恼恨中将他们从本地拔出来，扔在别的地上，像今日一样。’
and Jehovah rooted them out of their land in anger, and in fury, and in great indignation, and cast them into another land, as [it appears] this day.
29 “隐秘的事是属耶和华—我们 神的；惟有明显的事是永远属我们和我们子孙的，好叫我们遵行这律法上的一切话。”
The hidden things belong to Jehovah our God; but the revealed ones are ours and our children's for ever, to do all the words of this law.
