申命記 16
1 「你要注意亞筆月，向耶和華－你的上帝守逾越節，因為耶和華－你的上帝在亞筆月夜間領你出埃及。
“Observe the month of new grain, at the beginning of springtime, so that you may accomplish the Passover to the Lord your God. For in this month, the Lord your God led you away from Egypt in the night.
2 你當在耶和華所選擇要立為他名的居所，從牛群羊群中，將逾越節的祭牲獻給耶和華－你的上帝。
And you shall immolate the Passover to the Lord your God, from sheep and from oxen, in the place which the Lord your God will choose, so that his name may dwell there.
3 你吃這祭牲，不可吃有酵的餅；七日之內要吃無酵餅，就是困苦餅－你本是急忙出了埃及地－要叫你一生一世記念你從埃及地出來的日子。
You shall not eat it with leavened bread. For seven days you shall eat, without leaven, the bread of affliction. For you departed from Egypt in fear. So may you remember the day of your departure from Egypt, throughout all the days of your life.
4 在你四境之內，七日不可見麵酵，頭一日晚上所獻的肉，一點不可留到早晨。
No leaven shall be present in all your confines for seven days. And by morning, there shall not remain any of the flesh which was immolated on the first day in the evening.
5 在耶和華－你上帝所賜的各城中，你不可獻逾越節的祭；
You cannot immolate the Passover in any of your cities, which the Lord your God will give to you, that you wish,
6 只當在耶和華－你上帝所選擇要立為他名的居所，晚上日落的時候，乃是你出埃及的時候，獻逾越節的祭。
but only in the place which the Lord your God will choose, so that his name may dwell there. You shall immolate the Passover in the evening, upon the setting of the sun, which is the time when you departed from Egypt.
7 當在耶和華－你上帝所選擇的地方把肉烤了吃，次日早晨就回到你的帳棚去。
And you shall cook and eat it in the place which the Lord your God will choose, and, rising up in the morning, you shall go into your tent.
8 你要吃無酵餅六日，第七日要向耶和華－你的上帝守嚴肅會，不可做工。」
For six days, you shall eat unleavened bread. And on the seventh day, because it is the assembly of the Lord your God, you shall do no work.
9 「你要計算七七日：從你開鐮收割禾稼時算起，共計七七日。
You shall number for yourself seven weeks from that day, the day on which you put the sickle to the grain field.
10 你要照耶和華－你上帝所賜你的福，手裏拿着甘心祭，獻在耶和華－你的上帝面前，守七七節。
And you shall celebrate the Feast of Weeks, to the Lord your God, with a voluntary oblation from your hand, which you shall offer according to the blessing of the Lord your God.
11 你和你兒女、僕婢，並住在你城裏的利未人，以及在你們中間寄居的與孤兒寡婦，都要在耶和華－你上帝所選擇立為他名的居所，在耶和華－你的上帝面前歡樂。
And you shall feast in the sight of the Lord your God: you, your son and your daughter, your man servant and your woman servant, and the Levite who is within your gates, and the new arrival as well as the orphan and the widow, who abide with you, in the place which the Lord your God will choose, so that his name may dwell there.
12 你也要記念你在埃及作過奴僕。你要謹守遵行這些律例。」
And you shall recall that you were a servant in Egypt. And you shall preserve and carry out the things that have been instructed.
13 「你把禾場的穀、酒醡的酒收藏以後，就要守住棚節七日。
Likewise, you shall celebrate the Feast of Tabernacles for seven days, when you will have gathered your fruits from the orchard and the winepress.
14 守節的時候，你和你兒女、僕婢，並住在你城裏的利未人，以及寄居的與孤兒寡婦，都要歡樂。
And you shall feast at the time of your festival: you, your son and daughter, your man servant and woman servant, likewise the Levite and the new arrival, the orphan and the widow, who are within your gates.
15 在耶和華所選擇的地方，你當向耶和華－你的上帝守節七日；因為耶和華－你上帝在你一切的土產上和你手裏所辦的事上要賜福與你，你就非常地歡樂。
For seven days you shall celebrate feasts to the Lord your God in the place which the Lord will choose. And the Lord your God will bless you in all your crops, and in every work of your hands. And you shall be joyful.
16 你一切的男丁要在除酵節、七七節、住棚節，一年三次，在耶和華－你上帝所選擇的地方朝見他，卻不可空手朝見。
Three times a year, all your males shall appear in the sight the Lord your God in the place which he will choose: at the Feast of Unleavened Bread, at the Feast of Weeks, and at the Feast of Tabernacles. No one shall appear before the Lord empty.
17 各人要按自己的力量，照耶和華－你上帝所賜的福分，奉獻禮物。」
But each one shall offer according to what he will have, according to the blessing of the Lord his God, which he will give to him.
18 「你要在耶和華－你上帝所賜的各城裏，按着各支派設立審判官和官長。他們必按公義的審判判斷百姓。
You shall appoint judges and magistrates at all your gates, which the Lord your God will give to you, throughout each of your tribes, so that they may judge the people with a just judgment,
19 不可屈枉正直；不可看人的外貌。也不可受賄賂；因為賄賂能叫智慧人的眼變瞎了，又能顛倒義人的話。
and not so as to show favoritism to either side. You shall not accept a person’s reputation, nor gifts. For gifts blind the eyes of the wise and alter the words of the just.
20 你要追求至公至義，好叫你存活，承受耶和華－你上帝所賜你的地。
You shall justly pursue what is just, so that you may live and possess the land, which the Lord your God will give to you.
21 「你為耶和華－你的上帝築壇，不可在壇旁栽甚麼樹木作為木偶。
You shall not plant a sacred grove, nor shall you plant any tree near the altar of the Lord your God;
22 也不可為自己設立柱像；這是耶和華－你上帝所恨惡的。
you shall neither make nor set up for yourself a statue. These things the Lord your God hates.”
