申命记 31
1 摩西去告诉以色列众人
And Moses finished speaking all these words to all the children of Israel;
2 说：“我现在一百二十岁了，不能照常出入；耶和华也曾对我说：‘你必不得过这约旦河。’
and said to them, I am this day a hundred and twenty years [old]; I shall not be able any longer to come in or go out; and the Lord said to me, You shall not go over this Jordan.
3 耶和华—你们的 神必引导你们过去，将这些国民在你们面前灭绝，你们就得他们的地。约书亚必引导你们过去，正如耶和华所说的。
The Lord your God who goes before you, he shall destroy these nations before you, and you shall inherit them: and [it shall be] Joshua that goes before your face, as the Lord has spoken.
4 耶和华必待他们，如同从前待他所灭绝的亚摩利二王西宏与噩以及他们的国一样。
And the Lord your God shall do to them as he did to Seon and Og the two kings of the Amorites, who were beyond Jordan, and to their land, as he destroyed them.
5 耶和华必将他们交给你们；你们要照我所吩咐的一切命令待他们。
And the Lord has delivered them to you; and you shall do to them, as I charged you.
6 你们当刚强壮胆，不要害怕，也不要畏惧他们，因为耶和华—你的 神和你同去。他必不撇下你，也不丢弃你。”
Be courageous and strong, fear not, neither be cowardly neither be afraid before them; for [it is] the Lord your God that advances with you in the midst of you, neither will he by any means forsake you, nor desert you.
7 摩西召了约书亚来，在以色列众人眼前对他说：“你当刚强壮胆！因为，你要和这百姓一同进入耶和华向他们列祖起誓应许所赐之地；你也要使他们承受那地为业。
And Moses called Joshua, and said to him before all Israel, Be courageous and strong; for you shall go in before this people into the land which the Lord sware to your fathers to give to them, and you shall give it to them for an inheritance.
8 耶和华必在你前面行；他必与你同在，必不撇下你，也不丢弃你。不要惧怕，也不要惊惶。”
And the Lord that goes with you shall not forsake you nor abandon you; fear not, neither be afraid.
9 摩西将这律法写出来，交给抬耶和华约柜的祭司利未子孙和以色列的众长老。
And Moses wrote the words of this law in a book, and gave it to the priests the sons of Levi who bear the ark of the covenant of the Lord, and to the elders of the sons of Israel.
10 摩西吩咐他们说：“每逢七年的末一年，就在豁免年的定期住棚节的时候，
And Moses charged them in that day, saying, After seven years, in the time of the year of release, in the feast of tabernacles,
11 以色列众人来到耶和华—你 神所选择的地方朝见他。那时，你要在以色列众人面前将这律法念给他们听。
when all Israel come together to appear before the Lord your God, in the place which the Lord shall choose, you shall read this law before all Israel in their ears,
12 要招聚他们男、女、孩子，并城里寄居的，使他们听，使他们学习，好敬畏耶和华—你们的 神，谨守、遵行这律法的一切话，
having assembled the people, the men, and the women, and the children, and the stranger that is in your cities, that they may hear, and that they may learn to fear the Lord your God; and they shall listen to do all the words of this law.
13 也使他们未曾晓得这律法的儿女得以听见，学习敬畏耶和华—你们的 神，在你们过约旦河要得为业之地，存活的日子，常常这样行。”
And their sons who have not known shall hear, and shall learn to fear the Lord your God all the days that they live upon the land, into which you go over Jordan to inherit it.
14 耶和华对摩西说：“你的死期临近了；要召约书亚来，你们二人站在会幕里，我好嘱咐他。”于是摩西和约书亚去站在会幕里。
And the Lord said to Moses, Behold, the days of your death are at hand; call Joshua, and stand you by the doors of the tabernacle of testimony, and I will give him a charge. And Moses and Joshua went to the tabernacle of testimony, and stood by the doors of the tabernacle of testimony.
15 耶和华在会幕里云柱中显现，云柱停在会幕门以上。
And the Lord descended in a cloud, and stood by the doors of the tabernacle of testimony; and the pillar of the cloud stood by the doors of the tabernacle of testimony.
16 耶和华又对摩西说：“你必和你列祖同睡。这百姓要起来，在他们所要去的地上，在那地的人中，随从外邦神行邪淫，离弃我，违背我与他们所立的约。
And the Lord said to Moses, Behold, you shall sleep with your fathers, and this people will arise and go a whoring after the strange gods of the land, into which they are entering: and they will forsake me, and break my covenant, which I made with them.
17 那时，我的怒气必向他们发作；我也必离弃他们，掩面不顾他们，以致他们被吞灭，并有许多的祸患灾难临到他们。那日他们必说：‘这些祸患临到我们，岂不是因我们的 神不在我们中间吗？’
And I will be very angry with them in that day, and I will leave them and turn my face away from them, and they shall be devoured; and many evils and afflictions shall come upon them; and they shall say in that day, Because the Lord my God is not with me, these evils have come upon me.
18 那时，因他们偏向别神所行的一切恶，我必定掩面不顾他们。
And I will surely turn away my face from them in that day, because of all their evil doings which they have done, because they turned aside after strange gods.
19 现在你要写一篇歌，教导以色列人，传给他们，使这歌见证他们的不是；
And now write the words of this song, and teach it to the children of Israel, and you shall put it into their mouth, that this song may witness for me among the children of Israel to their face.
20 因为我将他们领进我向他们列祖起誓应许那流奶与蜜之地，他们在那里吃得饱足，身体肥胖，就必偏向别神，事奉他们，藐视我，背弃我的约。
For I will bring them into the good land, which I sware to their fathers, to give to them a land flowing with milk and honey: and they shall eat and be filled and satisfy [themselves]; then will they turn aside after other gods, and serve them, and they will provoke me, and break my covenant.
21 那时，有许多祸患灾难临到他们，这歌必在他们面前作见证，他们后裔的口中必念诵不忘。我未领他们到我所起誓应许之地以先，他们所怀的意念我都知道了。”
And this song shall stand up to witness against them; for they shall not forget it out of their mouth, or out of the mouth of their seed; for I know their wickedness, what they are doing here this day, before I have brought them into the good land, which I sware to their fathers.
22 当日摩西就写了一篇歌，教导以色列人。
And Moses wrote this song in that day, and taught it to the children of Israel.
23 耶和华嘱咐嫩的儿子约书亚说：“你当刚强壮胆，因为你必领以色列人进我所起誓应许他们的地；我必与你同在。”
And he charged Joshua, and said, Be courageous and strong, for you shall bring the sons of Israel into the land, which the Lord sware to them, and he shall be with you.
24 摩西将这律法的话写在书上，及至写完了，
And when Moses finished writing all the words of this law in a book, even to the end,
25 就吩咐抬耶和华约柜的利未人说：
then he charged the Levites who bear the ark of the covenant of the Lord, saying,
26 “将这律法书放在耶和华—你们 神的约柜旁，可以在那里见证以色列人的不是；
Take the book of this law, and you shall put it in the side of the ark of the covenant of the Lord your God; and it shall be there among you for a testimony.
27 因为我知道你们是悖逆的，是硬着颈项的。我今日还活着与你们同在，你们尚且悖逆耶和华，何况我死后呢？
For I know your provocation, and your stiff neck; for yet during my life with you at this day, you have been provoking in your conduct toward God: how shall you not also be so after my death?
28 你们要将你们支派的众长老和官长都招聚了来，我好将这些话说与他们听，并呼天唤地见证他们的不是。
Gather together to me the heads of your tribes, and your elders, and your judges, and your officers, that I may speak in their ears all these words; and I call both heaven and earth to witness against them.
29 我知道我死后，你们必全然败坏，偏离我所吩咐你们的道，行耶和华眼中看为恶的事，以手所做的惹他发怒；日后必有祸患临到你们。”
For I know that after my death you will utterly transgress, and turn aside out of the way which I have commanded you; and evils shall come upon you in the latter days, because you will do evil before the Lord, to provoke him to anger by the works of your hands. And Moses spoke all the words of this song even to the end, in the ears of the whole assembly.
30 摩西将这一篇歌的话都说与以色列全会众听。
