出埃及记 23
1 “不可随伙布散谣言；不可与恶人连手妄作见证。
You shall not receive a vain report: you shall not agree with the unjust [man] to become an unjust witness.
2 不可随众行恶；不可在争讼的事上随众偏行，作见证屈枉正直；
You shall not associate with the multitude for evil; you shall not join yourself with a multitude to turn aside with the majority so as to shut out judgement.
3 也不可在争讼的事上偏护穷人。
And you shall not spare a poor man in judgement.
4 “若遇见你仇敌的牛或驴失迷了路，总要牵回来交给他。
And if you meet your enemy's ox or his ass going astray, you shall turn them back and restore them to him.
5 若看见恨你人的驴压卧在重驮之下，不可走开，务要和驴主一同抬开重驮。
And if you see your enemy's ass fallen under its burden, you shall not pass by it, but shall help to raise it with him.
6 “不可在穷人争讼的事上屈枉正直。
You shall not wrest the sentence of the poor in his judgement.
7 当远离虚假的事。不可杀无辜和有义的人，因我必不以恶人为义。
You shall abstain from every unjust thing: you shall not kill the innocent and just, and you shall not justify the wicked for gifts.
8 不可受贿赂；因为贿赂能叫明眼人变瞎了，又能颠倒义人的话。
And you shall not receive gifts; for gifts blind the eyes of the seeing, and corrupt just words.
9 “不可欺压寄居的；因为你们在埃及地作过寄居的，知道寄居的心。”
And you shall not afflict a stranger, for you know the heart of a stranger; for you were yourselves strangers in the land of Egypt.
10 “六年你要耕种田地，收藏土产，
Six years you shall sow your land, and gather in the fruits of it.
11 只是第七年要叫地歇息，不耕不种，使你民中的穷人有吃的；他们所剩下的，野兽可以吃。你的葡萄园和橄榄园也要照样办理。
But in the seventh year you shall let it rest, and leave it, and the poor of your nation shall feed; and the wild beasts of the field shall eat that which remains: thus shall you do to your vineyard and to your oliveyard.
12 “六日你要做工，第七日要安息，使牛、驴可以歇息，并使你婢女的儿子和寄居的都可以舒畅。
Six days shall you do your works, and on the seventh day there shall be rest, that your ox and your ass may rest, and that the son of your maidservant and the stranger may be refreshed.
13 “凡我对你们说的话，你们要谨守。别神的名，你不可提，也不可从你口中传说。”
Observe all things whatever I have commanded you; and you shall make no mention of the name of other gods, neither shall they be heard out of your mouth.
14 “一年三次，你要向我守节。
Keep you a feast to me three times in the year.
15 你要守除酵节，照我所吩咐你的，在亚笔月内所定的日期，吃无酵饼七天。谁也不可空手朝见我，因为你是这月出了埃及。
Take heed to keep the feast of unleavened bread: seven days you shall eat unleavened bread, as I charged you at the season of the month of new [corn], for in it you came out of Egypt: you shall not appear before me empty.
16 又要守收割节，所收的是你田间所种、劳碌得来初熟之物。并在年底收藏，要守收藏节。
And you shall keep the feast of the harvest of first fruits of your labours, whatever you shall have sown in your field, and the feast of completion at the end of the year in the gathering in of your fruits out of your field.
17 一切的男丁要一年三次朝见主耶和华。
Three times in the year shall all your males appear before the Lord your God.
18 “不可将我祭牲的血和有酵的饼一同献上；也不可将我节上祭牲的脂油留到早晨。
For when I shall have cast out the nations from before you, and shall have widened your borders, you shall not offer the blood of my sacrifice with leaven, neither must the fat of my feast abide till the morning.
19 “地里首先初熟之物要送到耶和华—你 神的殿。 “不可用山羊羔母的奶煮山羊羔。”
You shall bring the first-offerings of the first fruits of your land into the house of the Lord your God. You shall not seethe a lamb in its mother's milk.
20 “看哪，我差遣使者在你前面，在路上保护你，领你到我所预备的地方去。
And, behold, I send my angel before your face, that he may keep you in the way, that he may bring you into the land which I have prepared for you.
21 他是奉我名来的；你们要在他面前谨慎，听从他的话，不可惹他，因为他必不赦免你们的过犯。
Take heed to yourself and listen to him, and disobey him not; for he will not give way to you, for my name is on him.
22 “你若实在听从他的话，照着我一切所说的去行，我就向你的仇敌作仇敌，向你的敌人作敌人。
If you will indeed hear my voice, and if you will do all the things I shall charge you with, and keep my covenant, you shall be to me a peculiar people above all nations, for the whole earth is mine; and you shall be to me a royal priesthood, and a holy nation: these words shall you speak to the children of Israel, If you shall indeed hear my voice, and do all the things I shall tell you, I will be an enemy to your enemies, and an adversary to your adversaries.
23 “我的使者要在你前面行，领你到亚摩利人、赫人、比利洗人、迦南人、希未人、耶布斯人那里去，我必将他们剪除。
For my angel shall go as your leader, and shall bring you to the Amorite, and Chettite, and Pherezite, and Chananite, and Gergesite, and Evite, and Jebusite, and I will destroy them.
24 你不可跪拜他们的神，不可事奉他，也不可效法他们的行为，却要把神像尽行拆毁，打碎他们的柱像。
You shall not worship their gods, nor serve them: you shall not do according to their works, but shall utterly destroy them, and break to pieces their pillars.
25 你们要事奉耶和华—你们的 神，他必赐福与你的粮与你的水，也必从你们中间除去疾病。
And you shall serve the Lord your God, and I will bless your bread and your wine and your water, and I will turn away sickness from you.
26 你境内必没有坠胎的，不生产的。我要使你满了你年日的数目。
There shall not be on your land one that is impotent or barren. I will surely fulfil the number of your days.
27 凡你所到的地方，我要使那里的众民在你面前惊骇，扰乱，又要使你一切仇敌转背逃跑。
And I will send terror before you, and I will strike with amazement all the nations to which you shall come, and I will make all your enemies to flee.
28 我要打发黄蜂飞在你前面，把希未人、迦南人、赫人撵出去。
And I will send hornets before you, and you shall cast out the Amorites and the Evites, and the Chananites and the Chettites from you.
29 我不在一年之内将他们从你面前撵出去，恐怕地成为荒凉，野地的兽多起来害你。
I will not cast them out in one year, lest the land become desolate, and the beasts of the field multiply against you.
30 我要渐渐地将他们从你面前撵出去，等到你的人数加多，承受那地为业。
By little [and little] I will cast them out from before you, until you shall be increased and inherit the earth.
31 我要定你的境界，从红海直到非利士海，又从旷野直到大河。我要将那地的居民交在你手中，你要将他们从你面前撵出去。
And I will set your borders from the Red Sea, to the sea of the Phylistines, and from the wilderness to the great river Euphrates; and I will give into your hand those that dwell in the land, and will cast them out from you.
32 不可和他们并他们的神立约。
You shall make no covenant with them and their gods.
33 他们不可住在你的地上，恐怕他们使你得罪我。你若事奉他们的神，这必成为你的网罗。”
And they shall not dwell in your land, lest they cause you to sin against me; for if you should serve their gods, these will be an offence to you.
