申命记 7
1 “耶和华—你 神领你进入要得为业之地，从你面前赶出许多国民，就是赫人、革迦撒人、亚摩利人、迦南人、比利洗人、希未人、耶布斯人，共七国的民，都比你强大。
When the Lord thy God shall have brought thee into the land, which thou art going in to possess, and shall have destroyed many nations before thee, the Hethite, and the Gergezite, and the Amorrhite, and the Chanaanite, and the Pherezite, and the Hevite, and the Jebusite, seven nations much more numerous than thou art, and stronger than thou:
2 耶和华—你 神将他们交给你击杀，那时你要把他们灭绝净尽，不可与他们立约，也不可怜恤他们。
And the Lord thy God shall have delivered them to thee, thou shalt utterly destroy them. Thou shalt make no league with them, nor shew mercy to them:
3 不可与他们结亲。不可将你的女儿嫁他们的儿子，也不可叫你的儿子娶他们的女儿；
Neither shalt thou make marriages with them. Thou shalt not give thy daughter to his son, nor take his daughter for thy son:
4 因为他必使你儿子转离不跟从主，去事奉别神，以致耶和华的怒气向你们发作，就速速地将你们灭绝。
For she will turn away thy son from following me, that he may rather serve strange gods, and the wrath of the Lord will be kindled, and will quickly destroy thee.
5 你们却要这样待他们：拆毁他们的祭坛，打碎他们的柱像，砍下他们的木偶，用火焚烧他们雕刻的偶像。
But thus rather shall you deal with them: Destroy their altars, and break their statues, and cut down their groves, and burn their graven things.
6 因为你归耶和华—你 神为圣洁的民；耶和华—你 神从地上的万民中拣选你，特作自己的子民。
Because thou art a holy people to the Lord thy God. The Lord thy God hath chosen thee, to be his peculiar people of all peoples that are upon the earth.
7 “耶和华专爱你们，拣选你们，并非因你们的人数多于别民，原来你们的人数在万民中是最少的。
Not because you surpass all nations in number, is the Lord joined unto you, and hath chosen you, for you are the fewest of any people:
8 只因耶和华爱你们，又因要守他向你们列祖所起的誓，就用大能的手领你们出来，从为奴之家救赎你们脱离埃及王法老的手。
But because the Lord hath loved you, and hath kept his oath, which he swore to your fathers: and hath brought you out with a strong hand, and redeemed you from the house of bondage, out of the hand of Pharao the king of Egypt.
9 所以，你要知道耶和华—你的 神，他是 神，是信实的 神；向爱他、守他诫命的人守约，施慈爱，直到千代；
And thou shalt know that the Lord thy God, he is a strong and faithful God, keeping his covenant and mercy to them that love him, and to them that keep his commandments, unto a thousand generations:
10 向恨他的人当面报应他们，将他们灭绝。凡恨他的人必报应他们，决不迟延。
And repaying forthwith them that hate him, so as to destroy them, without further delay immediately rendering to them what they deserve.
11 所以，你要谨守遵行我今日所吩咐你的诫命、律例、典章。”
Keep therefore the precepts and ceremonies and judgments, which I command thee this day to do.
12 “你们果然听从这些典章，谨守遵行，耶和华—你 神就必照他向你列祖所起的誓守约，施慈爱。
If after thou hast heard these judgments, thou keep and do them, the Lord thy God will also keep his covenant to thee, and the mercy which he swore to thy fathers:
13 他必爱你，赐福与你，使你人数增多，也必在他向你列祖起誓应许给你的地上赐福与你身所生的，地所产的，并你的五谷、新酒，和油，以及牛犊、羊羔。
And he will love thee and multiply thee, and will bless the fruit of thy womb, and the fruit of thy land, thy corn, and thy vintage, thy oil, and thy herds, and the flocks of thy sheep upon the land, for which he swore to thy fathers that he would give it thee.
14 你必蒙福胜过万民；你们的男女没有不能生养的，牲畜也没有不能生育的。
Blessed shalt thou be among all people. No one shall be barren among you of either sex, neither of men nor cattle.
15 耶和华必使一切的病症离开你；你所知道埃及各样的恶疾，他不加在你身上，只加在一切恨你的人身上。
The Lord will take away from thee all sickness: and the grievous infirmities of Egypt, which thou knowest, he will not bring upon thee, but upon thy enemies.
16 耶和华—你 神所要交给你的一切人民，你要将他们除灭；你眼不可顾惜他们。你也不可事奉他们的神，因这必成为你的网罗。
Thou shalt consume all the people, which the Lord thy God will deliver to thee. Thy eye shall not spare them, neither shalt thou serve their gods, lest they be thy ruin.
17 “你若心里说，这些国的民比我更多，我怎能赶出他们呢？
If thou say in thy heart: These nations are more than I, how shall I be able to destroy them?
18 你不要惧怕他们，要牢牢记念耶和华—你 神向法老和埃及全地所行的事，
Fear not, but remember what the Lord thy God did to Pharao and to all the Egyptians,
19 就是你亲眼所看见的大试验、神迹、奇事，和大能的手，并伸出来的膀臂，都是耶和华—你 神领你出来所用的。耶和华—你 神必照样待你所惧怕的一切人民。
The exceeding great plagues, which thy eyes saw, and the signs and wonders, and the strong hand, and the stretched out arm, with which the Lord thy God brought thee out: so will he do to all the people, whom thou fearest.
20 并且耶和华—你 神必打发黄蜂飞到他们中间，直到那剩下而藏躲的人从你面前灭亡。
Moreover the Lord thy God will send also hornets among them, until he destroy and consume all that have escaped thee, and could hide themselves.
21 你不要因他们惊恐，因为耶和华—你 神在你们中间是大而可畏的 神。
Thou shalt not fear them, because the Lord thy God is in the midst of thee, a God mighty and terrible:
22 耶和华—你 神必将这些国的民从你面前渐渐赶出；你不可把他们速速灭尽，恐怕野地的兽多起来害你。
He will consume these nations in thy sight by little and little and by degrees. Thou wilt not be able to destroy them altogether: lest perhaps the beasts of the earth should increase upon thee.
23 耶和华—你 神必将他们交给你，大大地扰乱他们，直到他们灭绝了；
But the Lord thy God shall deliver them in thy sight: and shall slay them until they be utterly destroyed.
24 又要将他们的君王交在你手中，你就使他们的名从天下消灭。必无一人能在你面前站立得住，直到你将他们灭绝了。
And he shall deliver their kings into thy hands, and thou shalt destroy their names from under Heaven: no man shall be able to resist thee, until thou destroy them.
25 他们雕刻的神像，你们要用火焚烧；其上的金银，你不可贪图，也不可收取，免得你因此陷入网罗；这原是耶和华—你 神所憎恶的。
Their graven things thou shalt burn with fire: thou shalt not covet the silver and gold of which they are made, neither shalt thou take to thee any thing thereof, lest thou offend, because it is an abomination to the Lord thy God.
26 可憎的物，你不可带进家去；不然，你就成了当毁灭的，与那物一样。你要十分厌恶，十分憎嫌，因为这是当毁灭的物。”
Neither shalt thou bring any thing of the idol into thy house, lest thou become an anathema, like it. Thou shalt detest it as dung, and shalt utterly abhor it as uncleanness and filth, because it is an anathema.
