申命記 32
1 諸天哪，側耳，我要說話； 願地也聽我口中的言語。
Hearken, ye heauens, and I will speake: and let the earth heare the words of my mouth.
2 我的教訓要淋漓如雨； 我的言語要滴落如露， 如細雨降在嫩草上， 如甘霖降在菜蔬中。
My doctrine shall drop as the raine, and my speach shall stil as the dew, as the showre vpon the herbes, and as the great raine vpon the grasse.
3 我要宣告耶和華的名； 你們要將大德歸與我們的上帝。
For I will publish the name of the Lord: giue ye glorie vnto our God.
4 他是磐石，他的作為完全； 他所行的無不公平， 是誠實無偽的上帝， 又公義，又正直。
Perfect is the worke of the mighty God: for all his wayes are iudgement. God is true, and without wickednesse: iust, and righteous is he.
5 這乖僻彎曲的世代向他行事邪僻； 有這弊病就不是他的兒女。
They haue corrupted them selues towarde him by their vice, not being his children, but a frowarde and crooked generation.
6 愚昧無知的民哪，你們這樣報答耶和華嗎？ 他豈不是你的父、將你買來的嗎？ 他是製造你、建立你的。
Doe ye so rewarde the Lord, O foolish people and vnwise? is not he thy father, that hath bought thee? he hath made thee, and proportioned thee.
7 你當追想上古之日， 思念歷代之年； 問你的父親，他必指示你； 問你的長者，他必告訴你。
Remember the dayes of olde: consider the yeeres of so many generations: aske thy father, and he will shewe thee: thine Elders, and they will tell thee.
8 至高者將地業賜給列邦，將世人分開， 就照以色列人的數目立定萬民的疆界。
When the most hie God deuided to the nations their inheritance, when he separated the sonnes of Adam, he appoynted the borders of the people, according to the nomber of the children of Israel.
9 耶和華的分本是他的百姓； 他的產業本是雅各。
For the Lordes portion is his people: Iaakob is the lot of his inheritance.
10 耶和華遇見他在曠野－ 荒涼野獸吼叫之地， 就環繞他，看顧他， 保護他，如同保護眼中的瞳人。
He found him in ye land of ye wildernes, in a waste, and roaring wildernes: he led him about, he taught him, and kept him as ye apple of his eye.
11 又如鷹攪動巢窩， 在雛鷹以上兩翅搧展， 接取雛鷹，背在兩翼之上。
As an eagle stereth vp her nest, flootereth ouer her birdes, stretcheth out her wings, taketh them, and beareth them on her wings,
12 這樣，耶和華獨自引導他， 並無外邦神與他同在。
So the Lord alone led him, and there was no strange god with him.
13 耶和華使他乘駕地的高處， 得吃田間的土產； 又使他從磐石中咂蜜， 從堅石中吸油；
He caryed him vp to the hie places of the earth, that he might eate the fruites of the fieldes, and he caused him to sucke hony out of the stone, and oyle out of the hard rocke:
14 也吃牛的奶油， 羊的奶，羊羔的脂油， 巴珊所出的公綿羊和山羊， 與上好的麥子， 也喝葡萄汁釀的酒。
Butter of kine, and milke of sheepe with fat of the lambes, and rammes fed in Bashan, and goates, with the fat of the graines of wheat, and the red licour of the grape hast thou drunke.
15 但耶書崙漸漸肥胖，粗壯， 光潤，踢跳，奔跑， 便離棄造他的上帝， 輕看救他的磐石；
But he that should haue bene vpright, when he waxed fat, spurned with his heele: thou art fat, thou art grosse, thou art laden with fatnes: therefore he forsooke God that made him, and regarded not the strong God of his saluation.
16 敬拜別神，觸動上帝的憤恨， 行可憎惡的事，惹了他的怒氣。
They prouoked him with strange gods: they prouoked him to anger with abominations.
17 所祭祀的鬼魔並非真神， 乃是素不認識的神， 是近來新興的， 是你列祖所不畏懼的。
They offred vnto deuils, not to God, but to gods whome they knew not: new gods that came newly vp, whome their fathers feared not.
18 你輕忽生你的磐石， 忘記產你的上帝。
Thou hast forgotten the mightie God that begate thee, and hast forgotten God that formed thee.
19 耶和華看見他的兒女惹動他， 就厭惡他們，說：
The Lord then sawe it, and was angrie, for the prouocation of his sonnes and of his daughters.
20 我要向他們掩面， 看他們的結局如何。 他們本是極乖僻的族類， 心中無誠實的兒女。
And he said, I will hide my face from the: I will see what their ende shalbe: for they are a frowarde generation, children in who is no faith.
21 他們以那「不算為神」的觸動我的憤恨， 以虛無的神惹了我的怒氣。 我也要以那「不成子民」的觸動他們的憤恨， 以愚昧的國民惹了他們的怒氣。
They haue moued me to ielousie with that which is not God: they haue prouoked me to anger with their vanities: and I will moue them to ielousie with those which are no people: I wil prouoke them to anger with a foolish nation.
For fire is kindled in my wrath, and shall burne vnto the bottome of hell, and shall consume the earth with her increase, and set on fire the foundations of the mountaines. (Sheol h7585)
23 我要將禍患堆在他們身上， 把我的箭向他們射盡。
I will spend plagues vpon them: I will bestowe mine arrowes vpon them.
24 他們必因飢餓消瘦， 被炎熱苦毒吞滅。 我要打發野獸用牙齒咬他們， 並土中腹行的，用毒氣害他們。
They shalbe burnt with hunger, and consumed with heate, and with bitter destruction: I will also sende the teeth of beastes vpon them, with the venime of serpents creeping in the dust.
25 外頭有刀劍，內室有驚恐， 使人喪亡，使少男、童女、 吃奶的、白髮的，盡都滅絕。
The sworde shall kill them without, and in the chambers feare: both the yong man and the yong woman, the suckeling with the man of gray heare.
26 我說，我必將他們分散遠方， 使他們的名號從人間除滅。
I haue said, I would scatter them abroade: I would make their remembrance to cease from among men,
27 惟恐仇敵惹動我， 只怕敵人錯看，說：是我們手的能力， 並非耶和華所行的。
Saue that I feared the furie of the enemie, least their aduersaries should waxe proude, and least they should say, Our hie hande and not the Lord hath done all this:
28 因為以色列民毫無計謀， 心中沒有聰明。
For they are a nation voide of counsel, neither is there any vnderstanding in them.
29 惟願他們有智慧， 能明白這事，肯思念他們的結局。
Oh that they were wise, then they would vnderstand this: they would consider their latter ende.
30 若不是他們的磐石賣了他們， 若不是耶和華交出他們， 一人焉能追趕他們千人？ 二人焉能使萬人逃跑呢？
How should one chase a thousand, and two put ten thousande to flight, except their strong God had sold the, and the Lord had shut them vp?
31 據我們的仇敵自己斷定， 他們的磐石不如我們的磐石。
For their god is not as our God, euen our enemies being iudges.
32 他們的葡萄樹是所多瑪的葡萄樹， 蛾摩拉田園所生的； 他們的葡萄是毒葡萄， 全掛都是苦的。
For their vine is of the vine of Sodom, and of the vines of Gomorah: their grapes are grapes of gall, their clusters be bitter.
33 他們的酒是大蛇的毒氣， 是虺蛇殘害的惡毒。
Their wine is the poyson of dragons, and the cruel gall of aspes.
34 這不都是積蓄在我這裏， 封鎖在我府庫中嗎？
Is not this laide in store with me, and sealed vp among my treasures?
35 他們失腳的時候，伸冤報應在我； 因他們遭災的日子近了； 那要臨在他們身上的必速速來到。
Vengeance and recompence are mine: their foote shall slide in due time: for the day of their destruction is at hand, and the things that shall come vpon them, make haste.
36 耶和華見他百姓毫無能力， 無論困住的、自由的都沒有剩下， 就必為他們伸冤， 為他的僕人後悔。
For the Lord shall iudge his people, and repent towarde his seruants, when hee seeth that their power is gone, and none shut vp in holde nor left abroad.
37 他必說：他們的神， 他們所投靠的磐石，
When men shall say, Where are their gods, their mighty God in whome they trusted,
38 就是向來吃他們祭牲的脂油， 喝他們奠祭之酒的，在哪裏呢？ 他可以興起幫助你們， 護衛你們。
Which did eate the fat of their sacrifices, and did drinke the wine of their drinke offring? let them rise vp, and help you: let him be your refuge.
39 你們如今要知道： 我，惟有我是上帝； 在我以外並無別神。 我使人死，我使人活； 我損傷，我也醫治， 並無人能從我手中救出來。
Behold now, for I, I am he, and there is no gods with me: I kill, and giue life: I wound, and I make whole: neither is there any that can deliuer out of mine hand.
40 我向天舉手說： 我憑我的永生起誓：
For I lift vp mine hand to heauen, and say, I liue for euer.
41 我若磨我閃亮的刀， 手掌審判之權， 就必報復我的敵人， 報應恨我的人。
If I whet my glittering sworde, and mine hand take holde on iudgement, I will execute vengeance on mine enemies, and will rewarde them that hate me.
42 我要使我的箭飲血飲醉， 就是被殺被擄之人的血。 我的刀要吃肉， 乃是仇敵中首領之頭的肉。
I will make mine arrowes drunke with blood, (and my sword shall eate flesh) for the blood of the slaine, and of the captiues, when I beginne to take vengeance of the enemie.
43 你們外邦人當與主的百姓一同歡呼； 因他要伸他僕人流血的冤， 報應他的敵人， 潔淨他的地，救贖他的百姓。
Ye nations, praise his people: for he will auenge the blood of his seruants, and will execute vengeance vpon his aduersaries, and will bee mercifull vnto his lande, and to his people.
44 摩西和嫩的兒子約書亞去將這歌的一切話說給百姓聽。
Then Moses came and spake all ye words of this song in the audience of the people, he and Hoshea the sonne of Nun.
45 摩西向以色列眾人說完了這一切的話，
When Moses had made an end of speaking all these wordes to all Israel,
46 又說：「我今日所警教你們的，你們都要放在心上；要吩咐你們的子孫謹守遵行這律法上的話。
Then hee said vnto them, Set your heartes vnto all the wordes which I testifie against you this day, that ye may commande them vnto your children, that they may obserue and doo all the wordes of this Lawe.
47 因為這不是虛空、與你們無關的事，乃是你們的生命；在你們過約旦河要得為業的地上必因這事日子得以長久。」
For it is no vaine worde concerning you, but it is your life, and by this worde ye shall prolong your dayes in the land, whither yee go ouer Iorden to possesse it.
48 當日，耶和華吩咐摩西說：
And the Lord spake vnto Moses the selfe same day, saying,
49 「你上這亞巴琳山中的尼波山去，在摩押地與耶利哥相對，觀看我所要賜給以色列人為業的迦南地。
Goe vp into the mountaine of Abarim, vnto the mount Nebo, which is in the lande of Moab, that is ouer against Iericho: and beholde the lande of Canaan, which I giue vnto the children of Israel for a possession,
50 你必死在你所登的山上，歸你列祖去，像你哥哥亞倫死在何珥山上，歸他的列祖一樣。
And die in the mount which thou goest vp vnto, and thou shalt be gathered vnto thy people, as Aaron thy brother died in mount Hor, and was gathered vnto his people,
51 因為你們在尋的曠野，加低斯的米利巴水，在以色列人中沒有尊我為聖，得罪了我。
Because ye trespassed against me among the children of Israel, at the waters of Meribah, at Kadesh in the wildernesse of Zin: for ye sanctified me not among the children of Israel.
52 我所賜給以色列人的地，你可以遠遠地觀看，卻不得進去。」
Thou shalt therefore see the lande before thee, but shalt not go thither, I meane, into the land which I giue the children of Israel.
