申命记 31
1 摩西去告诉以色列众人
And Moses goes and speaks these words to all 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 he says to them, “I [am] a son of one hundred and twenty years today; I am not able to go out and to come in anymore, and YHWH has said to me, You do not pass 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。
Your God YHWH—He is passing over before you; He destroys these nations from before you, and you have possessed them; Joshua—he is passing over before you, as YHWH 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 YHWH has done to them as he has done to Sihon and to Og, kings of the Amorite, and to their land, whom He destroyed.
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 YHWH has given them before your face, and you have done to them according to all the command which I have commanded 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 strong and courageous, do not fear, nor be terrified because of them, for your God YHWH [is] He who is going with you; He does not fail you nor forsake 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 calls for Joshua and says to him before the eyes of all Israel, “Be strong and courageous, for you go in with this people to the land which YHWH has sworn to their fathers to give to them, and you cause them to inherit it;
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 YHWH [is] He who is going before you, He Himself is with you; He does not fail you nor forsake you; do not fear, nor be frightened.”
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 writes this law and gives it to the priests (sons of Levi, those carrying the Ark of the Covenant of YHWH), and to all [the] elderly 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 commands them, saying, “At the end of seven years, in the appointed time, the year of release, in the Celebration of Shelters,
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。
in the coming in of all Israel to see the face of YHWH in the place which He chooses, you proclaim 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，
Assemble the people, the men, and the women, and the infants, and your sojourner who [is] within your gates, so that they hear, and so that they learn, and have feared your God YHWH, and observed 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, hear and have learned to fear your God YHWH [for] all the days which you are living on the ground to where you are passing over the Jordan to possess 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 YHWH says to Moses, “Behold, your days have drawn near to die; call Joshua, and station yourselves in the Tent of Meeting, and I charge him”; and Moses goes—Joshua also—and they station themselves in the Tent of Meeting,
15 耶和华在会幕里云柱中显现，云柱停在会幕门以上。
and YHWH is seen in the tent in a pillar of a cloud; and the pillar of the cloud stands at the opening of the tent.
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 YHWH says to Moses, “Behold, you are lying down with your fathers, and this people has risen and gone whoring after the gods of the stranger of the land, into the midst of which it has entered, and it has forsaken Me and broken My covenant which I made with it;
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 My anger has burned against it in that day, and I have forsaken them, and hidden My face from them, and it has been for consumption, and many evils and distresses have found it, and it has said in that day, [Is] it not because my God is not in my midst that these evils have found 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 certainly hide My face in that day for all the evil which it has done, for it has turned to other 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 this song for yourselves, and teach it [to] the sons of Israel; put it in their mouths, so that this song is to Me for a witness against the sons of Israel.
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。
When I bring them to the ground flowing with milk and honey, which I have sworn to their fathers, and they have eaten, and been satisfied, and been fat, and have turned to other gods, and they have served them, and despised Me, and broken 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。”
then it has been, when many evils and distresses meet it, that this song has testified to its face for a witness; for it is not forgotten out of the mouth of its seed, for I have known its imagining which it is doing today, before I bring them into the land of which I have sworn.”
22 当日摩西就写了一篇歌，教导以色列人。
And Moses writes this song on that day, and teaches it [to] the sons 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。”
Then He commands Joshua son of Nun, and says, “Be strong and courageous, for you bring in the sons of Israel to the land which I have sworn to them, and I am with you.”
24 摩西将这律法的话写在书上，及至写完了，
And it comes to pass, when Moses finishes to write the words of this law on a scroll, until their completion,
25 就吩咐抬耶和华约柜的利未人说：
that Moses commands the Levites carrying the Ark of the Covenant of YHWH, 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 this Scroll of the Law, and you have set it on the side of the Ark of the Covenant of your God YHWH, and it has been against you for a witness there;
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 have known your rebellion and your stiff neck; behold, in my being yet alive with you today, you have been rebelling against YHWH, and surely also 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。
Assemble to me all the elderly of your tribes, and your authorities, and I speak these words in their ears, and cause the heavens and the earth to testify 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 have known that you act very corruptly after my death, and have turned aside from the way which I commanded you, and evil has met you in the latter end of the days, because you do evil in the eyes of YHWH, to make Him angry with the work of your hands.”
30 摩西将这一篇歌的话都说与以色列全会众听。
And Moses speaks the words of this song in the ears of all the assembly of Israel, until their completion:
