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 things that the Israelis were required to do to keep the agreement that Yahweh was making with them. Moses/I commanded them to keep this agreement [when they/we were] in the Moab region [on the east side of the Jordan River]. This was in addition to the agreement that Yahweh had made with them/us at Sinai [Mountain].
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，
Moses/I summoned all the Israeli people and said to them, “You saw [SYN] for yourselves what Yahweh did to the king of Egypt and to his officials and to his entire country.
3 就是你亲眼看见的大试验和神迹，并那些大奇事。
You [SYN] saw all the plagues [that Yahweh caused them to experience], and all the various miracles [DOU] [that Yahweh performed].
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 until now, Yahweh has not enabled you to understand [the meaning of] all that you have seen and heard.
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。
For 40 years Yahweh has led you while you traveled/walked through the desert. During that time, your clothes and your sandals have not worn out.
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。
You did not have bread to eat or wine or other fermented/strong drinks to drink, but Yahweh [took care of you], in order that you would know that he is 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 when we came to this place, Sihon, the king who ruled in Heshbon [city], and Og, the king who ruled the Bashan [region], came [with their armies] to attack us, but we defeated 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。
We took/conquered their land and divided it among the tribes of Reuben and Gad, and half of the tribe of Manasseh.
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。
“So faithfully keep all of this agreement, in order that you will be successful in everything that you 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，
Today all of us are standing in the presence of Yahweh our God. The leaders of all our tribes, our elders, our officials, all you Israeli men,
your wives, your children, and the foreigners who live among you and cut wood for you and carry water for you, are here.
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。
[We are here] today to promise to keep this solemn agreement with Yahweh.
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。
[He is making this agreement with you] in order to confirm that you are his people, and that he is your God. This agreement is what he promised you, and which is what he vowed to give to your ancestors Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.
14 我不但与你们立这约，起这誓，
This agreement is not only with you.
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。
He is making this agreement with us [who are here today] and also with our descendants who are not yet born.
16 “我们曾住过埃及地，也从列国经过；这是你们知道的。
“You remember [the things that our ancestors suffered] in Egypt, and how they traveled through the land that belonged to other nations [after they came out of Egypt].
17 你们也看见他们中间可憎之物，并他们木、石、金、银的偶像。
In those countries they saw those disgusting idols made of wood and stone and [decorated with] silver and gold.
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，
So be sure that no man or woman or family or tribe that is here [today] turns away from Yahweh our God, to worship/serve the gods of those nations. Doing that would be like a root [of a plant that would grow] among you and bear poisonous and bitter fruit [MET].
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。’
“Be sure that no one here today who hears this agreement thinks, ‘Everything will go well with me, even if I stubbornly do what I want to.’ If you are stubborn like that, the result will be that Yahweh will eventually get rid of all of you, both good people and evil people [MET].
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，
Yahweh will not forgive anyone who is [stubborn] like that. Instead, he will be extremely angry [DOU] with that person, and that person will experience all the curses that I have told you about, until Yahweh gets rid of that person and his family [IDM].
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。
From all the tribes of Israel, Yahweh will separate that individual. Yahweh will cause him to experience all the disasters that I have listed in the agreement that states the things that Yahweh will do to curse [those who disobey] the laws [that I have written] in this scroll/book.
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，
“In the future, your descendants and people from other countries will see the disasters and the illnesses that Yahweh has caused to happen to you.
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—
They will see that all your land has been ruined by burning sulfur and salt. Nothing will have been planted. Not even weeds will grow there. Your land will resemble Sodom and Gomorrah [cities], and Admah and Zeboiim [cities], which Yahweh destroyed when he was very angry [DOU] [with the people who lived there].
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？’
And the people from those other nations will ask, ‘Why did Yahweh do this to this land? Why was he very angry [with the people who lived here]?’
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，
“Then other people will reply, ‘It is because they refused to keep the agreement that Yahweh, the God whom their ancestors [worshiped], had made with them when he brought them out 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。
Instead, they served/worshiped other gods that they had never worshiped before, gods that Yahweh had told them not to worship.
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。
So, Yahweh became very angry with the Israeli people in this land, and he caused them to experience all the disasters that their leader warned them about.
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。’
Yahweh became extremely angry [DOU] with them and took/yanked them [MET] out of their land and banished them into another land, and they are still there.’
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。”
“[There are some] things that Yahweh our God has (kept secret/not revealed), but he has revealed his laws to us, and [he expects] us and our descendants to obey them forever.”
