申命记 1
1 以下所记的是摩西在约旦河东的旷野、疏弗对面的亚拉巴—就是巴兰、陀弗、拉班、哈洗录、底撒哈中间—向以色列众人所说的话。（
These are the words which Moses spoke to all Israel beyond the Jordan in the wilderness, in the Arabah opposite Suf, between Paran, Tophel, Laban, Hazeroth, and Dizahab.
2 从何烈山经过西珥山到加低斯·巴尼亚有十一天的路程。）
It is eleven days’ journey from Horeb by the way of Mount Seir to Kadesh Barnea.
3 出埃及第四十年十一月初一日，摩西照耶和华借着他所吩咐以色列人的话都晓谕他们。
In the fortieth year, in the eleventh month, on the first day of the month, Moses spoke to the children of Israel according to all that the LORD had given him in commandment to them,
4 那时，他已经击杀了住希实本的亚摩利王西宏和住以得来、亚斯他录的巴珊王噩。
after he had struck Sihon the king of the Amorites who lived in Heshbon, and Og the king of Bashan who lived in Ashtaroth, at Edrei.
5 摩西在约旦河东的摩押地讲律法说：
Beyond the Jordan, in the land of Moab, Moses began to declare this law, saying,
6 “耶和华—我们的 神在何烈山晓谕我们说：你们在这山上住的日子够了；
“The LORD our God spoke to us in Horeb, saying, ‘You have lived long enough at this mountain.
7 要起行转到亚摩利人的山地和靠近这山地的各处，就是亚拉巴、山地、高原、南地，沿海一带迦南人的地，并黎巴嫩山又到幼发拉底大河。
Turn, and take your journey, and go to the hill country of the Amorites and to all the places near there: in the Arabah, in the hill country, in the lowland, in the South, by the seashore, in the land of the Canaanites, and in Lebanon as far as the great river, the river Euphrates.
8 如今我将这地摆在你们面前；你们要进去得这地，就是耶和华向你们列祖亚伯拉罕、以撒、雅各起誓应许赐给他们和他们后裔为业之地。”
Behold, I have set the land before you. Go in and possess the land which the LORD swore to your fathers—to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob—to give to them and to their offspring after them.’”
9 “那时，我对你们说：‘管理你们的重任，我独自担当不起。
I spoke to you at that time, saying, “I am not able to bear you myself alone.
10 耶和华—你们的 神使你们多起来。看哪，你们今日像天上的星那样多。
The LORD your God has multiplied you, and behold, you are today as the stars of the sky for multitude.
11 惟愿耶和华—你们列祖的 神使你们比如今更多千倍，照他所应许你们的话赐福与你们。
May the LORD, the God of your fathers, make you a thousand times as many as you are and bless you, as he has promised you!
12 但你们的麻烦，和管理你们的重任，并你们的争讼，我独自一人怎能担当得起呢？
How can I myself alone bear your problems, your burdens, and your strife?
13 你们要按着各支派选举有智慧、有见识、为众人所认识的，我立他们为你们的首领。’
Take wise men of understanding who are respected among your tribes, and I will make them heads over you.”
14 你们回答我说：‘照你所说的行了为妙。’
You answered me, and said, “The thing which you have spoken is good to do.”
15 我便将你们各支派的首领，有智慧、为众人所认识的，照你们的支派，立他们为官长、千夫长、百夫长、五十夫长、十夫长，管理你们。
So I took the heads of your tribes, wise and respected men, and made them heads over you, captains of thousands, captains of hundreds, captains of fifties, captains of tens, and officers, according to your tribes.
16 “当时，我嘱咐你们的审判官说：‘你们听讼，无论是弟兄彼此争讼，是与同居的外人争讼，都要按公义判断。
I commanded your judges at that time, saying, “Hear cases between your brothers and judge righteously between a man and his brother, and the foreigner who is living with him.
17 审判的时候，不可看人的外貌；听讼不可分贵贱，不可惧怕人，因为审判是属乎 神的。若有难断的案件，可以呈到我这里，我就判断。’
You shall not show partiality in judgment; you shall hear the small and the great alike. You shall not be afraid of the face of man, for the judgment is God’s. The case that is too hard for you, you shall bring to me, and I will hear it.”
18 那时，我将你们所当行的事都吩咐你们了。”
I commanded you at that time all the things which you should do.
19 “我们照着耶和华—我们 神所吩咐的从何烈山起行，经过你们所看见那大而可怕的旷野，往亚摩利人的山地去，到了加低斯·巴尼亚。
We traveled from Horeb and went through all that great and terrible wilderness which you saw, by the way to the hill country of the Amorites, as the LORD our God commanded us; and we came to Kadesh Barnea.
20 我对你们说：‘你们已经到了耶和华—我们 神所赐给我们的亚摩利人之山地。
I said to you, “You have come to the hill country of the Amorites, which the LORD our God gives to us.
21 看哪，耶和华—你的 神已将那地摆在你面前，你要照耶和华—你列祖的 神所说的上去得那地为业；不要惧怕，也不要惊惶。’
Behold, the LORD your God has set the land before you. Go up, take possession, as the LORD the God of your fathers has spoken to you. Do not be afraid, neither be dismayed.”
22 你们都就近我来说：‘我们要先打发人去，为我们窥探那地，将我们上去该走何道，必进何城，都回报我们。’
You came near to me, everyone of you, and said, “Let’s send men before us, that they may search the land for us, and bring back to us word of the way by which we must go up, and the cities to which we shall come.”
23 这话我以为美，就从你们中间选了十二个人，每支派一人。
The thing pleased me well. I took twelve of your men, one man for every tribe.
24 于是他们起身上山地去，到以实各谷，窥探那地。
They turned and went up into the hill country, and came to the valley of Eshcol, and spied it out.
25 他们手里拿着那地的果子下来，到我们那里，回报说：‘耶和华—我们的 神所赐给我们的是美地。’
They took some of the fruit of the land in their hands and brought it down to us, and brought us word again, and said, “It is a good land which the LORD our God gives to us.”
26 “你们却不肯上去，竟违背了耶和华—你们 神的命令，
Yet you would not go up, but rebelled against the commandment of the LORD your God.
27 在帐棚内发怨言说：‘耶和华因为恨我们，所以将我们从埃及地领出来，要交在亚摩利人手中，除灭我们。
You murmured in your tents, and said, “Because the LORD hated us, he has brought us out of the land of Egypt, to deliver us into the hand of the Amorites to destroy us.
28 我们上哪里去呢？我们的弟兄使我们的心消化，说那地的民比我们又大又高，城邑又广大又坚固，高得顶天，并且我们在那里看见亚衲族的人。’
Where are we going up? Our brothers have made our heart melt, saying, ‘The people are greater and taller than we. The cities are great and fortified up to the sky. Moreover we have seen the sons of the Anakim there!’”
29 我就对你们说：‘不要惊恐，也不要怕他们。
Then I said to you, “Do not be terrified. Do not be afraid of them.
30 在你们前面行的耶和华—你们的 神必为你们争战，正如他在埃及和旷野，在你们眼前所行的一样。
The LORD your God, who goes before you, he will fight for you, according to all that he did for you in Egypt before your eyes,
31 你们在旷野所行的路上，也曾见耶和华—你们的 神抚养你们，如同人抚养儿子一般，直等你们来到这地方。’
and in the wilderness where you have seen how that the LORD your God carried you, as a man carries his son, in all the way that you went, until you came to this place.”
32 你们在这事上却不信耶和华—你们的 神。
Yet in this thing you did not believe the LORD your God,
33 他在路上，在你们前面行，为你们找安营的地方；夜间在火柱里，日间在云柱里，指示你们所当行的路。”
who went before you on the way, to seek out a place for you to pitch your tents in: in fire by night, to show you by what way you should go, and in the cloud by day.
34 “耶和华听见你们这话，就发怒，起誓说：
The LORD heard the voice of your words and was angry, and swore, saying,
35 ‘这恶世代的人，连一个也不得见我起誓应许赐给你们列祖的美地；
“Surely not one of these men of this evil generation shall see the good land which I swore to give to your fathers,
36 惟有耶孚尼的儿子迦勒必得看见，并且我要将他所踏过的地赐给他和他的子孙，因为他专心跟从我。’
except Caleb the son of Jephunneh. He shall see it. I will give the land that he has trodden on to him and to his children, because he has wholly followed the LORD.”
37 耶和华为你的缘故也向我发怒，说：‘你必不得进入那地。
Also the LORD was angry with me for your sakes, saying, “You also shall not go in there.
38 伺候你、嫩的儿子约书亚，他必得进入那地；你要勉励他，因为他要使以色列人承受那地为业。
Joshua the son of Nun, who stands before you, shall go in there. Encourage him, for he shall cause Israel to inherit it.
39 并且你们的妇人孩子，就是你们所说、必被掳掠的，和今日不知善恶的儿女，必进入那地。我要将那地赐给他们，他们必得为业。
Moreover your little ones, whom you said would be captured or killed, your children, who today have no knowledge of good or evil, shall go in there. I will give it to them, and they shall possess it.
40 至于你们，要转回，从红海的路往旷野去。’
But as for you, turn, and take your journey into the wilderness by the way to the Red Sea.”
41 “那时，你们回答我说：‘我们得罪了耶和华，情愿照耶和华—我们 神一切所吩咐的上去争战。’于是你们各人带着兵器，争先上山地去了。
Then you answered and said to me, “We have sinned against the LORD. We will go up and fight, according to all that the LORD our God commanded us.” Every man of you put on his weapons of war, and presumed to go up into the hill country.
42 耶和华吩咐我说：‘你对他们说：不要上去，也不要争战；因我不在你们中间，恐怕你们被仇敌杀败了。’
The LORD said to me, “Tell them, ‘Do not go up and do not fight; for I am not among you, lest you be struck before your enemies.’”
43 我就告诉了你们，你们却不听从，竟违背耶和华的命令，擅自上山地去了。
So I spoke to you, and you did not listen; but you rebelled against the commandment of the LORD, and were presumptuous, and went up into the hill country.
44 住那山地的亚摩利人就出来攻击你们，追赶你们，如蜂拥一般，在西珥杀退你们，直到何珥玛。
The Amorites, who lived in that hill country, came out against you and chased you as bees do, and beat you down in Seir, even to Hormah.
45 你们便回来，在耶和华面前哭号；耶和华却不听你们的声音，也不向你们侧耳。
You returned and wept before the LORD, but the LORD did not listen to your voice, nor turn his ear to you.
46 于是你们在加低斯住了许多日子。”
So you stayed in Kadesh many days, according to the days that you remained.
