申命記 26
1 「你進去得了耶和華－你上帝所賜你為業之地居住，
And it shall be when thou shalt have entered into the land, which the Lord thy God gives thee to inherit it, and thou shalt have inherited it, and thou shalt have dwelt upon it,
2 就要從耶和華－你上帝賜你的地上將所收的各種初熟的土產取些來，盛在筐子裏，往耶和華－你上帝所選擇要立為他名的居所去，
that thou shalt take of the first of the fruits of thy land, which the Lord thy God gives thee, and thou shalt put them into a basket, and thou shalt go to the place which the Lord thy God shall choose to have his name called there.
3 見當時作祭司的，對他說：『我今日向耶和華－你上帝明認，我已來到耶和華向我們列祖起誓應許賜給我們的地。』
And thou shalt come to the priest who shall be in those days, and thou shalt say to him, I testify this day to the Lord my God, that I am come into the land which the Lord sware to our fathers to give to us.
4 祭司就從你手裏取過筐子來，放在耶和華－你上帝的壇前。
And the priest shall take the basket out of thine hands, and shall set it before the altar of the Lord thy God:
5 你要在耶和華－你上帝面前說：『我祖原是一個將亡的亞蘭人，下到埃及寄居。他人口稀少，在那裏卻成了又大又強、人數很多的國民。
and he shall answer and say before the Lord thy God, My father abandoned Syria, and went down into Egypt, and sojourned there with a small number, and became there a mighty nation and a great multitude.
6 埃及人惡待我們，苦害我們，將苦工加在我們身上。
And the Egyptians afflicted us, and humbled us, and imposed hard tasks on us:
7 於是我們哀求耶和華－我們列祖的上帝，耶和華聽見我們的聲音，看見我們所受的困苦、勞碌、欺壓，
and we cried to the Lord our God, and the Lord heard our voice, and saw our humiliation, and our labour, and our affliction.
8 他就用大能的手和伸出來的膀臂，並大可畏的事與神蹟奇事，領我們出了埃及，
And the Lord brought us out of Egypt himself with his great strength, and his mighty hand, and his high arm, and with great visions, and with signs, and with wonders.
9 將我們領進這地方，把這流奶與蜜之地賜給我們。
And he brought us into this place, and gave us this land, a land flowing with milk and honey.
10 耶和華啊，現在我把你所賜給我地上初熟的土產奉了來。』隨後你要把筐子放在耶和華－你上帝面前，向耶和華－你的上帝下拜。
And now, behold, I have brought the first of the fruits of the land, which thou gavest me, O Lord, a land flowing with milk and honey: and thou shalt leave it before the Lord thy God, and thou shalt worship before the Lord thy God;
11 你和利未人，並在你們中間寄居的，要因耶和華－你上帝所賜你和你家的一切福分歡樂。
and thou shalt rejoice in all the good [things], which the Lord thy God has given thee, [thou] and thy family, and the Levite, and the stranger that is within thee.
12 「每逢三年，就是十分取一之年，你取完了一切土產的十分之一，要分給利未人和寄居的，與孤兒寡婦，使他們在你城中可以吃得飽足。
And when thou shalt have completed all the tithings of thy fruits in the third year, thou shalt give the second tenth to the Levite, and stranger, and fatherless, and widow; and they shall eat it in thy cities, and be merry.
13 你又要在耶和華－你上帝面前說：『我已將聖物從我家裏拿出來，給了利未人和寄居的，與孤兒寡婦，是照你所吩咐我的一切命令。你的命令我都沒有違背，也沒有忘記。
And thou shalt say before the Lord thy God, I have fully collected the holy things out of my house, and I have given them to the Levite, and the stranger, and the orphan, and the widow, according to all commands which thou didst command me: I did not transgress thy command, and I did not forget it.
14 我守喪的時候，沒有吃這聖物；不潔淨的時候，也沒有拿出來，又沒有為死人送去。我聽從了耶和華－我上帝的話，都照你所吩咐的行了。
And in my distress I did not eat of them, I have not gathered of them for an unclean purpose, I have not given of them to the dead; I have hearkened to the voice of the Lord our God, I have done as thou hast commanded me.
15 求你從天上、你的聖所垂看，賜福給你的百姓以色列與你所賜給我們的地，就是你向我們列祖起誓賜我們流奶與蜜之地。』」
Look down from thy holy house, from heaven, and bless thy people Israel, and the land which thou hast given them, as thou didst swear to our fathers, to give to us a land flowing with milk and honey.
16 「耶和華－你的上帝今日吩咐你行這些律例典章，所以你要盡心盡性謹守遵行。
On this day the Lord thy God charged thee to keep all the ordinances and judgments; and ye shall observe and do them, with all your heart, and with all your soul.
17 你今日認耶和華為你的上帝，應許遵行他的道，謹守他的律例、誡命、典章，聽從他的話。
Thou hast chosen God this day to be thy God, and to walk in all his ways, and to observe his ordinances and judgments, and to hearken to his voice.
18 耶和華今日照他所應許你的，也認你為他的子民，使你謹守他的一切誡命，
And the Lord has chosen thee this day that thou shouldest be to him a peculiar people, as he said, to keep his commands;
19 又使你得稱讚、美名、尊榮，超乎他所造的萬民之上，並照他所應許的使你歸耶和華－你上帝為聖潔的民。」
and that thou shouldest be above all nations, as he has made thee renowned, and a boast, and glorious, that thou shouldest be a holy people to the Lord thy God, as he has spoken.
