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 comest into the land that Jehovah thy God giveth thee for an inheritance, and possessest it, and dwellest therein,
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 all the fruit of the ground, which thou shalt bring of thy land which Jehovah thy God giveth thee, and shalt put it in a basket, and shalt go unto the place that Jehovah thy God will choose to cause his name to dwell 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 unto the priest that shall be in those days, and say unto him, I profess this day unto Jehovah thy God, that I am come unto the land that Jehovah swore unto our fathers to give 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 thy hand, and set it down before the altar of Jehovah 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 thou shalt speak and say before Jehovah thy God, A perishing Aramaean was my father, and he went down to Egypt with a few, and sojourned there, and became there a nation, great, mighty, and populous.
6 埃及人惡待我們，苦害我們，將苦工加在我們身上。
And the Egyptians evil-entreated us, and afflicted us, and laid upon us hard bondage;
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 Jehovah, the God of our fathers, and Jehovah heard our voice, and looked on our affliction, and our labour, and our oppression;
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 Jehovah brought us forth out of Egypt with a powerful hand, and with a stretched-out arm, and with great terribleness, 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 hath brought us into this place, and hath given 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, Jehovah, hast given me. And thou shalt set it down before Jehovah thy God, and worship before Jehovah 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 that Jehovah thy God hath given to thee, and to thy house, thou, and the Levite, and the stranger that is in thy midst.
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。
When thou hast made an end of tithing all the tithes of thy produce in the third year, the year of tithing, thou shalt give it to the Levite, to the stranger, to the fatherless, and to the widow, that they may eat in thy gates, and be filled;
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 Jehovah thy God, I have brought away the hallowed things out of the house, and also have given them to the Levite, and to the stranger, to the fatherless, and to the widow, according to all thy commandment which thou hast commanded me; I have not transgressed nor forgotten [any] of thy commandments:
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。
I have not eaten thereof in my mourning, neither have I brought away thereof in uncleanness, nor given thereof for a dead person; I have hearkened to the voice of Jehovah my God; I have done according to all that 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 habitation, from the heavens, and bless thy people Israel, and the land that thou hast given us as thou didst swear unto our fathers, 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。
This day Jehovah thy God hath commanded thee to do these statutes and ordinances; and thou shalt keep and do them with all thy heart and with all thy 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 this day accepted Jehovah to be thy God, and to walk in his ways, and keep his statutes, and his commandments, and his ordinances, and to hearken unto 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 Jehovah hath accepted thee this day to be a people of possession to him, as he hath told thee, and that thou shouldest keep all his commandments,
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。」
so that he should make thee high above all the nations which he hath made, in praise and in name and in honour; and that thou shouldest be a holy people to Jehovah thy God, as he hath said.
