< 利未記 26 >
1 「你們不可做甚麼虛無的神像,不可立雕刻的偶像或是柱像,也不可在你們的地上安甚麼鏨成的石像,向它跪拜,因為我是耶和華-你們的上帝。
Ye shall not make yourselves any idols, and a graven image, or a standing image shall ye not rear up unto you, and any carved stone shall you not place in your land, to bow down upon it; for I am the Eternal your God.
My sabbaths shall ye keep, and my sanctuary shall ye reverence: I am the Lord.
If in my statutes ye walk, and if my commandments ye keep, and do them:
4 我就給你們降下時雨,叫地生出土產,田野的樹木結果子。
Then will I give you rains in their due season, and the earth shall yield her products, and the tree of the field shall yield its fruit.
5 你們打糧食要打到摘葡萄的時候,摘葡萄要摘到撒種的時候;並且要吃得飽足,在你們的地上安然居住。
And the threshing shall reach with you unto the vintage, and the vintage shall reach unto sowing-time; and ye shall eat your bread to the full, and ye shall dwell in safety in your land.
6 我要賜平安在你們的地上;你們躺臥,無人驚嚇。我要叫惡獸從你們的地上熄滅;刀劍也必不經過你們的地。
And I will give peace in the land, and ye shall lie down, with none to make you afraid; and I will remove evil beasts out of the land, and the sword shall not pass through your land.
And ye shall chase your enemies, and they shall fall before you by the sword.
8 你們五個人要追趕一百人,一百人要追趕一萬人;仇敵必倒在你們刀下。
And five of you shall chase a hundred, and a hundred of you shall chase ten thousand; and your enemies shall fall before you by the sword.
9 我要眷顧你們,使你們生養眾多,也要與你們堅定所立的約。
And I will turn myself unto you, and make you fruitful, and multiply you; and I will establish my covenant with you.
And ye shall eat very old store, and the old shall ye remove away because of the new.
11 我要在你們中間立我的帳幕;我的心也不厭惡你們。
And I will set my dwelling among you; and my soul shall not loath you.
12 我要在你們中間行走;我要作你們的上帝,你們要作我的子民。
And I will walk among you, and I will be to you a God, and ye shall be to me a people.
13 我是耶和華-你們的上帝,曾將你們從埃及地領出來,使你們不作埃及人的奴僕;我也折斷你們所負的軛,叫你們挺身而走。」
I am the Eternal your God, who have brought you forth out of the land of Egypt, that ye should not be their bond-men; and I have broken the bands of your yoke, and caused you to walk upright.
But if ye will not hearken unto me, and will not do all these commandments;
15 厭棄我的律例,厭惡我的典章,不遵行我一切的誡命,背棄我的約,
And if my statutes ye despise, and if my ordinances your soul loath, so as not to do all my commandments, in that ye break my covenant:
16 我待你們就要這樣:我必命定驚惶,叫眼目乾癟、精神消耗的癆病熱病轄制你們。你們也要白白地撒種,因為仇敵要吃你們所種的。
Then will I also do this unto you, and I will inflict on you terror, consumption, and the burning ague, that consume the eyes, and cause sorrow of heart; and ye shall sow in vain your seed, for your enemies shall eat it.
17 我要向你們變臉,你們就要敗在仇敵面前。恨惡你們的,必轄管你們;無人追趕,你們卻要逃跑。
And I will set my face against you, and ye shall be struck down before your enemies: and they that hate you shall bear rule over you; and ye shall flee while there is no one pursuing you.
18 你們因這些事若還不聽從我,我就要為你們的罪加七倍懲罰你們。
And if with these things even ye will not yet hearken unto me: then will I chastise you yet more, sevenfold for your sins.
19 我必斷絕你們因勢力而有的驕傲,又要使覆你們的天如鐵,載你們的地如銅。
And I will break the pride of your power; and I will make your heaven as iron, and your earth as copper:
20 你們要白白地勞力;因為你們的地不出土產,其上的樹木也不結果子。
And in vain shall your strength be spent; for your land shall not yield her products, and the tree of the land shall not yield its fruit.
21 「你們行事若與我反對,不肯聽從我,我就要按你們的罪加七倍降災與你們。
And if ye walk yet contrary unto me, and if you refuse to hearken unto me: then will I bring more plagues upon you, sevenfold according to your sins.
22 我也要打發野地的走獸到你們中間,搶吃你們的兒女,吞滅你們的牲畜,使你們的人數減少,道路荒涼。
And I will send out against you the beasts of the field, which shall rob you of your children, and destroy your cattle, and diminish yourselves; so that your roads shall be desolate.
23 「你們因這些事若仍不改正歸我,行事與我反對,
And if notwithstanding these things ye will not be reformed by me, and walk contrary unto me:
24 我就要行事與你們反對,因你們的罪擊打你們七次。
Then will I also walk contrary unto you, and I also will punish you, sevenfold for your sins.
25 我又要使刀劍臨到你們,報復你們背約的仇;聚集你們在各城內,降瘟疫在你們中間,也必將你們交在仇敵的手中。
And I will bring over you the sword, avenging the quarrel of my covenant, so that ye shall be gathered together within your cities; and then will I send the pestilence among you, that ye shall deliver yourselves into the hand of the enemy;
26 我要折斷你們的杖,就是斷絕你們的糧。那時,必有十個女人在一個爐子給你們烤餅,按分量秤給你們;你們要吃,也吃不飽。
When I break unto you the staff of bread; and ten women shall bake your bread in one oven, and they shall deliver your bread again by weight; and ye shall eat, and not be satisfied.
27 「你們因這一切的事若不聽從我,卻行事與我反對,
And if notwithstanding this ye will not hearken unto me, but walk contrary unto me:
28 我就要發烈怒,行事與你們反對,又因你們的罪懲罰你們七次。
Then will I also walk contrary unto you in fury; and I, even I, will chastise you, sevenfold for your sins.
And ye shall eat the flesh of your sons, and the flesh of your daughters shall ye eat.
30 我又要毀壞你們的邱壇,砍下你們的日像,把你們的屍首扔在你們偶像的身上;我的心也必厭惡你們。
And I will destroy your high-places, and cut down your sun-images, and cast your carcasses upon the carcasses of your idols; and my soul shall loath you.
31 我要使你們的城邑變為荒涼,使你們的眾聖所成為荒場;我也不聞你們馨香的香氣。
And I will render your cities a waste, and I will make desolate your sanctuaries, and I will not smell the savor of your sweet odors.
32 我要使地成為荒場,住在其上的仇敵就因此詫異。
And I will surely make desolate the land: and your enemies who dwell therein shall be astonished at it.
33 我要把你們散在列邦中;我也要拔刀追趕你們。你們的地要成為荒場;你們的城邑要變為荒涼。
And you will I scatter among the nations, and I will draw out after you the sword; and your land shall be a desolate wild, and your cities shall be a waste.
34 「你們在仇敵之地居住的時候,你們的地荒涼,要享受眾安息;正在那時候,地要歇息,享受安息。
Then shall the land satisfy its sabbaths, all the days of its desolation, when ye are in the land of your enemies: then shall the land rest, and satisfy its sabbaths.
35 地多時為荒場,就要多時歇息;地這樣歇息,是你們住在其上的安息年所不能得的。
All the days of its desolation shall it rest, the time which it did not rest in your sabbaths, when ye dwelt upon it.
36 至於你們剩下的人,我要使他們在仇敵之地心驚膽怯。葉子被風吹的響聲,要追趕他們;他們要逃避,像人逃避刀劍,無人追趕,卻要跌倒。
And regarding those that are left of you, I will send a faintness into their hearts in the lands of their enemies; and the sound of a leaf shaken shall chase them; and they shall flee, as fleeing from the sword; and they shall fall with none pursuing.
37 無人追趕,他們要彼此撞跌,像在刀劍之前。你們在仇敵面前也必站立不住。
And they shall stumble one over the other, as before the sword, without one pursuing: and ye shall have no power to stand up before your enemies.
And ye shall be lost among the nations, and the land of your enemies shall consume you.
39 你們剩下的人必因自己的罪孽和祖宗的罪孽在仇敵之地消滅。
And they that are left of you shall pine away in their iniquity in the land of your enemies; and also through the iniquities of their fathers shall they pine away with them.
40 「他們要承認自己的罪和他們祖宗的罪,就是干犯我的那罪,並且承認自己行事與我反對,
And they shall then confess their iniquity, and the iniquity of their fathers, [that] through their trespass which they trespassed against me, and also that [because] they had walked contrary unto me:
41 我所以行事與他們反對,把他們帶到仇敵之地。那時,他們未受割禮的心若謙卑了,他們也服了罪孽的刑罰,
I also had to walk contrary unto them, and to bring them into the land of their enemies; and then shall their uncircumcised heart be humbled, and then shall they satisfy their iniquity.
42 我就要記念我與雅各所立的約,與以撒所立的約,與亞伯拉罕所立的約,並要記念這地。
And I will then remember my covenant with Jacob, and also my covenant with Isaac, and also my covenant with Abraham will I remember; and the land will I remember.
43 他們離開這地,地在荒廢無人的時候就要享受安息。並且他們要服罪孽的刑罰;因為他們厭棄了我的典章,心中厭惡了我的律例。
For the land shall be forsaken by them, and shall satisfy its sabbaths, while it lieth desolate without them, and they shall satisfy their iniquity; because, even because my ordinances they despised, and my statutes their soul loathed.
44 雖是這樣,他們在仇敵之地,我卻不厭棄他們,也不厭惡他們,將他們盡行滅絕,也不背棄我與他們所立的約,因為我是耶和華-他們的上帝。
And yet for all that, though they be in the land of their enemies, will I not cast them away, neither will I loath them, to destroy them utterly, to break my covenant with them; for I am the Lord their God.
45 我卻要為他們的緣故記念我與他們先祖所立的約。他們的先祖是我在列邦人眼前、從埃及地領出來的,為要作他們的上帝。我是耶和華。」
But I will remember for their sakes the covenant of their ancestors, whom I brought forth out of the land of Egypt before the eyes of the nations, that I might be unto them a God: I am the Lord.
46 這些律例、典章,和法度是耶和華與以色列人在西奈山藉着摩西立的。
These are the statutes and ordinances and laws, which the Lord made between him and the children of Israel on mount Sinai, by the hand of Moses.
