申命記 12
1 「你們存活於世的日子，在耶和華－你們列祖的上帝所賜你們為業的地上，要謹守遵行的律例典章乃是這些：
These ben the heestis and domes, whiche ye owen to do, in the lond which the Lord God of thi fadrys schal yyue to thee, that thou welde it, in alle daies in whiche thou schalt go on erthe.
2 你們要將所趕出的國民事奉神的各地方，無論是在高山，在小山，在各青翠樹下，都毀壞了；
Distrie ye alle the places wherynne hethen men whiche ye schulen welde, worschipiden her goddis, on hiy mounteyns, and litle hillis, and vndur ech tre ful of bowis.
3 也要拆毀他們的祭壇，打碎他們的柱像，用火焚燒他們的木偶，砍下他們雕刻的神像，並將其名從那地方除滅。
Distrie ye `the auteris of hem, and `breke ye the ymagis; brenne ye the wodis with fier, and al to breke ye the idolis; destrie ye `the names of hem fro the places.
4 你們不可照他們那樣事奉耶和華－你們的上帝。
Ye schulen not do so to youre Lord God;
5 但耶和華－你們的上帝從你們各支派中選擇何處為立他名的居所，你們就當往那裏去求問，
but ye schulen come to the place which youre Lord God chees of alle youre lynagis, that he putte his name there, and dwelle therynne;
6 將你們的燔祭、平安祭、十分取一之物，和手中的舉祭，並還願祭、甘心祭，以及牛群羊群中頭生的，都奉到那裏。
and ye schulen come, and schulen offre in that place youre brent sacrifices, and slayn sacrifices, the dymes, and firste fruytis of youre hondis, and avowis and yiftis, the firste gendrid thingis of oxun, and of scheep.
7 在那裏，耶和華－你們上帝的面前，你們和你們的家屬都可以吃，並且因你手所辦的一切事蒙耶和華－你的上帝賜福，就都歡樂。
And ye and youre housis schulen ete there in the siyt of youre Lord God; and ye schulen be glad in alle thingis to whiche ye putten hond, in whiche youre Lord God blesside you.
8 我們今日在這裏所行的是各人行自己眼中看為正的事，你們將來不可這樣行；
Ye schulen not do there tho thingis whiche we don here to dai, ech man that semeth riytful to `hym silf.
9 因為你們還沒有到耶和華－你上帝所賜你的安息地，所給你的產業。
For `til in to present tyme ye camen not to reste and possessioun, which the Lord God schal yyue to you.
10 但你們過了約旦河，得以住在耶和華－你們上帝使你們承受為業之地，又使你們太平，不被四圍的一切仇敵擾亂，安然居住。
Ye schulen passe Jordan, and ye schulen dwelle in the lond which youre Lord God schal yyue to you, that ye reste fro alle enemyes `bi cumpas, and dwelle without ony drede.
11 那時要將我所吩咐你們的燔祭、平安祭、十分取一之物，和手中的舉祭，並向耶和華許願獻的一切美祭，都奉到耶和華－你們上帝所選擇要立為他名的居所。
In the place which youre Lord God chees that his name be therynne. Thidur ye schulen bere alle thingis, whiche Y comaunde, brent sacrifices, and sacrifices, and the dymes, and firste fruytis of youre hondis, and what euere is the beste in yiftis, whiche ye auowiden to the Lord.
12 你們和兒女、僕婢，並住在你們城裏無分無業的利未人，都要在耶和華－你們的上帝面前歡樂。
Ther ye schulen ete bifor youre Lord God, ye, and youre sones and douytris, youre seruauntis, and seruauntessis, and the dekenes, that dwellen in youre citees; for thei han not other part and possessioun among you.
13 你要謹慎，不可在你所看中的各處獻燔祭。
Be thou war lest thou offre thi brent sacrifices in ech place which thou seest,
14 惟獨耶和華從你那一支派中所選擇的地方，你就要在那裏獻燔祭，行我一切所吩咐你的。
but in that place which the Lord chees in oon of thi lynagis thou schalt offre sacrifices, and schalt do what euer thingis Y comaunde to thee.
15 「然而，在你各城裏都可以照耶和華－你上帝所賜你的福分，隨心所欲宰牲吃肉；無論潔淨人不潔淨人都可以吃，就如吃羚羊與鹿一般。
Forsothe if thou wolt ete, and the etyng of fleischis delitith thee, sle thou, and ete, bi the blessyng of thi Lord God, which he yaf to thee in thi citees, whether it is vnclene, `that is, spottid ether wemmed and feble, ether clene, `that is, hool in membris and with out wem, which is leueful to be offrid, thou schalt ete as a capret and hert; oneli without etyng of blood,
16 只是不可吃血，要倒在地上，如同倒水一樣。
which thou schalt schede out as watir on the erthe.
17 你的五穀、新酒，和油的十分之一，或是牛群羊群中頭生的，或是你許願獻的，甘心獻的，或是手中的舉祭，都不可在你城裏吃。
Thou schalt not mowe ete in thi citees the tithis of thi wheete, wyn, and oile, the firste gendrid thingis of droues, and of scheep, and alle thingis whiche thou hast avowid and wolt offre bi fre wille, and the firste fruytis of thin hondis;
18 但要在耶和華－你的上帝面前吃，在耶和華－你上帝所要選擇的地方，你和兒女、僕婢，並住在你城裏的利未人，都可以吃；也要因你手所辦的，在耶和華－你上帝面前歡樂。
but thou schalt ete tho bifor thi Lord God, in the place which thi Lord God chees, thou, and thi sone, and douyter, seruaunt, and seruauntesse, and the dekene that dwellith in thi citees; and thou schalt be glad, and schalt be fillid bifor thi Lord God in alle thingis to whiche thou holdist forth thin hond.
19 你要謹慎，在你所住的地方永不可丟棄利未人。
Be thou war lest thou forsake the dekene in al tyme, `in which thou lyuest in erthe.
20 「耶和華－你的上帝照他所應許擴張你境界的時候，你心裏想要吃肉，說：『我要吃肉』，就可以隨心所欲地吃肉。
Whanne thi Lord God hath alargid thi termes, as he spak to thee, and thou wolt ete fleischis, whiche thi soule desirith,
21 耶和華－你上帝所選擇要立他名的地方若離你太遠，就可以照我所吩咐的，將耶和華賜給你的牛羊取些宰了，可以隨心所欲在你城裏吃。
forsothe if the place is fer, which thi Lord God chees, that his name be there, thou schalt sle of thin oxun, and scheep, whiche thou hast, as `the Lord comaundide to thee; and thou schalt ete in thi citees as it plesith thee.
22 你吃那肉，要像吃羚羊與鹿一般；無論潔淨人不潔淨人都可以吃。
As a capret and hert is etun, so thou schalt ete tho; bothe a cleene man and vncleene schulen ete therof in comyn.
23 只是你要心意堅定，不可吃血，因為血是生命；不可將血與肉同吃。
Oneli eschewe thou this, that thou ete not blood; for the blood `of tho beestis is for the lijf, and therfor thou owist not ete the lijf with fleischis,
24 不可吃血，要倒在地上，如同倒水一樣。
but thou schalt schede as watir `the blood on the erthe,
25 不可吃血。這樣，你行耶和華眼中看為正的事，你和你的子孫就可以得福。
that it be wel to thee, and to thi sones after thee, whanne thou hast do that, that plesith in the siyt of the Lord.
26 只是你分別為聖的物和你的還願祭要奉到耶和華所選擇的地方去。
Sotheli thou schalt take that that thou `auowidist, and halewidist to the Lord, and thou schalt come to the place which the Lord chees;
27 你的燔祭，連肉帶血，都要獻在耶和華－你上帝的壇上。平安祭的血要倒在耶和華－你上帝的壇上；平安祭的肉，你自己可以吃。
and thou schalt offre thin offryngis, fleischis, and blood, on the auter of thi Lord God; thou schalt schede in the auter the blood of sacrifices; forsothe thou schalt ete the fleischis.
28 你要謹守聽從我所吩咐的一切話，行耶和華－你上帝眼中看為善，看為正的事。這樣，你和你的子孫就可以永遠享福。」
Kepe thou and here alle thingis whiche Y comaunde to thee, that it be wel to thee, and to thi sones after thee, with outen ende, whanne thou hast do that, that is good and plesaunt in the siyt of thi Lord God.
29 「耶和華－你上帝將你要去趕出的國民從你面前剪除，你得了他們的地居住，
Whanne thi Lord God hath distryed bifor thi face folkis, to whiche thou schalt entre to welde, and thou hast weldid tho folkis, and hast dwellid in `the lond of hem,
30 那時就要謹慎，不可在他們除滅之後隨從他們的惡俗，陷入網羅，也不可訪問他們的神說：『這些國民怎樣事奉他們的神，我也要照樣行。』
be thou war lest thou sue hem, aftir that thei ben distried, whanne thou entrist, and thou seke `the cerymonyes of hem, and seie, As these folkis worschipyden her goddis, so and Y schal worschipe.
31 你不可向耶和華－你的上帝這樣行，因為他們向他們的神行了耶和華所憎嫌所恨惡的一切事，甚至將自己的兒女用火焚燒，獻與他們的神。
Thou schalt not do in lijk manere to thi Lord God; for thei diden to her goddis alle abhomynaciouns whiche the Lord wlatith, and offriden her sones and douytris, and brenten with fier.
32 凡我所吩咐的，你們都要謹守遵行，不可加添，也不可刪減。
Do thou to the Lord this thing oneli which Y comaunde to thee, nethir adde thou ony thing, nether abate.
