申命记 9
1 “以色列啊，你当听！你今日要过约旦河，进去赶出比你强大的国民，得着广大坚固、高得顶天的城邑。
'Hear, Israel, thou art passing over to-day the Jordan, to go in to possess nations greater and mightier than thyself; cities great and fenced in the heavens;
2 那民是亚衲族的人，又大又高，是你所知道的；也曾听见有人指着他们说：‘谁能在亚衲族人面前站立得住呢？’
a people great and tall, sons of Anakim, whom thou — thou hast known, (and thou — thou hast heard: Who doth station himself before sons of Anak?)
3 你今日当知道，耶和华—你的 神在你前面过去，如同烈火，要灭绝他们，将他们制伏在你面前。这样，你就要照耶和华所说的赶出他们，使他们速速灭亡。
and thou hast known to-day, that Jehovah thy God [is] He who is passing over before thee — a fire consuming; He doth destroy them, and He doth humble them before thee, and thou hast dispossessed them, and destroyed them hastily, as Jehovah hath spoken to thee.
4 “耶和华—你的 神将这些国民从你面前撵出以后，你心里不可说：‘耶和华将我领进来得这地是因我的义。’其实，耶和华将他们从你面前赶出去是因他们的恶。
'Thou dost not speak in thy heart (in Jehovah thy God's driving them away from before thee), saying, For my righteousness hath Jehovah brought me in to possess this land, seeing for the wickedness of these nations is Jehovah dispossessing them from thy presence;
5 你进去得他们的地，并不是因你的义，也不是因你心里正直，乃是因这些国民的恶，耶和华—你的 神将他们从你面前赶出去，又因耶和华要坚定他向你列祖亚伯拉罕、以撒、雅各起誓所应许的话。
not for thy righteousness, and for the uprightness of thy heart, art thou going in to possess their land; but for the wickedness of these nations is Jehovah thy God dispossessing them from before thee; and in order to establish the word which Jehovah hath sworn to thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob;
6 “你当知道，耶和华—你 神将这美地赐你为业，并不是因你的义；你本是硬着颈项的百姓。
and thou hast known, that not for thy righteousness is Jehovah thy God giving to thee this good land to possess it, for a people stiff of neck thou [art].
7 你当记念不忘，你在旷野怎样惹耶和华—你 神发怒。自从你出了埃及地的那日，直到你们来到这地方，你们时常悖逆耶和华。
'Remember — do not forget — that [with] which thou hast made Jehovah thy God wroth in the wilderness; even from the day that thou hast come out of the land of Egypt till your coming in unto this place rebels ye have been with Jehovah;
8 你们在何烈山又惹耶和华发怒；他恼怒你们，要灭绝你们。
even in Horeb ye have made Jehovah wroth, and Jehovah sheweth Himself angry against you — to destroy you.
9 我上了山，要领受两块石版，就是耶和华与你们立约的版。那时我在山上住了四十昼夜，没有吃饭，也没有喝水。
'In my going up into the mount to receive the tables of stone (tables of the covenant which Jehovah hath made with you), and I abide in the mount forty days and forty nights; bread I have not eaten, and water I have not drunk;
10 耶和华把那两块石版交给我，是 神用指头写的。版上所写的是照耶和华在大会的日子、在山上、从火中对你们所说的一切话。
and Jehovah giveth unto me the two tables of stone written with the finger of God, and on them according to all the words which Jehovah hath spoken with you in the mount, out of the midst of the fire, in the day of the assembly.
11 过了四十昼夜，耶和华把那两块石版，就是约版，交给我。
'And it cometh to pass, at the end of forty days and forty nights, Jehovah hath given unto me the two tables of stone — tables of the covenant,
12 对我说：‘你起来，赶快下去！因为你从埃及领出来的百姓已经败坏了自己；他们快快地偏离了我所吩咐的道，为自己铸成了偶像。’
and Jehovah saith unto me, Rise, go down, hasten from this, for thy people hath done corruptly, whom thou hast brought out of Egypt; they have turned aside hastily out of the way which I have commanded them — they have made to themselves a molten thing!
13 “耶和华又对我说：‘我看这百姓是硬着颈项的百姓。
'And Jehovah speaketh unto me, saying, I have seen this people, and lo, a people stiff of neck it [is];
14 你且由着我，我要灭绝他们，将他们的名从天下涂抹，使你的后裔比他们成为更大更强的国。’
desist from Me, and I destroy them, and blot out their name from under the heavens, and I make thee become a nation more mighty and numerous than it.
15 于是我转身下山，山被火烧着，两块约版在我两手之中。
'And I turn, and come down from the mount, and the mount is burning with fire, and the two tables of the covenant on my two hands,
16 我一看见你们得罪了耶和华—你们的 神，铸成了牛犊，快快地偏离了耶和华所吩咐你们的道，
and I see, and lo, ye have sinned against Jehovah your God; ye have made to yourselves a molten calf; ye have turned aside hastily out of the way which Jehovah hath commanded you.
17 我就把那两块版从我手中扔下去，在你们眼前摔碎了。
'And I lay hold on the two tables, and cast them out of my two hands, and break them before your eyes,
18 因你们所犯的一切罪，行了耶和华眼中看为恶的事，惹他发怒，我就像从前俯伏在耶和华面前四十昼夜，没有吃饭，也没有喝水。
and I throw myself before Jehovah, as at first, forty days and forty nights; bread I have not eaten, and water I have not drunk, because of all your sins which ye have sinned, by doing the evil thing in the eyes of Jehovah, to make Him angry.
19 我因耶和华向你们大发烈怒，要灭绝你们，就甚害怕；但那次耶和华又应允了我。
'For I have been afraid because of the anger and the fury with which Jehovah hath been wroth against you, to destroy you; and Jehovah doth hearken unto me also at this time.
20 耶和华也向亚伦甚是发怒，要灭绝他；那时我又为亚伦祈祷。
'And with Aaron hath Jehovah shewed himself very angry, to destroy him, and I pray also for Aaron at that time;
21 我把那叫你们犯罪所铸的牛犊用火焚烧，又捣碎磨得很细，以致细如灰尘，我就把这灰尘撒在从山上流下来的溪水中。
and your sin, which ye have made — the calf — I have taken, and I burn it with fire, and beat it, grinding well till that it [is] small as dust, and I cast its dust unto the brook which is going down out of the mount.
22 “你们在他备拉、玛撒、基博罗·哈他瓦又惹耶和华发怒。
'And in Taberah, and in Massah, and in Kibroth-Hattaavah, ye have been making Jehovah wroth:
23 耶和华打发你们离开加低斯·巴尼亚，说：‘你们上去得我所赐给你们的地。’那时你们违背了耶和华—你们 神的命令，不信服他，不听从他的话。
and in Jehovah's sending you from Kadesh-Barnea, saying, Go up, and possess the land which I have given to you, then ye provoke the mouth of Jehovah your God, and have not given credence to Him, nor hearkened to His voice;
24 自从我认识你们以来，你们常常悖逆耶和华。
rebels ye have been with Jehovah from the day of my knowing you.
25 “我因耶和华说要灭绝你们，就在耶和华面前照旧俯伏四十昼夜。
'And I throw myself before Jehovah, the forty days and the forty nights, as I had thrown myself, for Jehovah hath said — to destroy you;
26 我祈祷耶和华说：‘主耶和华啊，求你不要灭绝你的百姓。他们是你的产业，是你用大力救赎的，用大能从埃及领出来的。
and I pray unto Jehovah, and say, Lord Jehovah, destroy not Thy people, and Thine inheritance, whom Thou hast ransomed in Thy greatness; whom Thou hast brought out of Egypt with a strong hand;
27 求你记念你的仆人亚伯拉罕、以撒、雅各，不要想念这百姓的顽梗、邪恶、罪过，
be mindful of Thy servants, of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Jacob, turn not unto the stiffness of this people, and unto its wickedness, and unto its sin;
28 免得你领我们出来的那地之人说，耶和华因为不能将这百姓领进他所应许之地，又因恨他们，所以领他们出去，要在旷野杀他们。
lest the land say from which Thou hast brought us out, Because of Jehovah's want of ability to bring them in unto the land of which He hath spoken to them, and because of His hating them, He brought them out to put them to death in the wilderness;
29 其实他们是你的百姓，你的产业，是你用大能和伸出来的膀臂领出来的。’”
and they [are] Thy people, and Thine inheritance, whom Thou hast brought out by Thy great power, and by Thy stretched-out arm!
