< Deuteronomy 32 >
1 Give ear, ye heavens, and I will speak, and let the earth hear the words of my mouth.
诸天哪,侧耳,我要说话; 愿地也听我口中的言语。
2 My doctrine shall drop as the rain. My speech shall distil as the dew, as the small rain upon the tender grass, and as the showers upon the herb.
我的教训要淋漓如雨; 我的言语要滴落如露, 如细雨降在嫩草上, 如甘霖降在菜蔬中。
3 For I will proclaim the name of Jehovah. Ascribe ye greatness to our God.
我要宣告耶和华的名; 你们要将大德归与我们的 神。
4 The Rock, his work is perfect, for all his ways are justice, a God of faithfulness and without iniquity, just and right is he.
他是磐石,他的作为完全; 他所行的无不公平, 是诚实无伪的 神, 又公义,又正直。
5 They have dealt corruptly with him. They are not his sons, it is their blemish, a perverse and crooked generation.
这乖僻弯曲的世代向他行事邪僻; 有这弊病就不是他的儿女。
6 Do ye thus requite Jehovah, O foolish people and unwise? Is not he thy father who has bought thee? He has made thee, and established thee.
愚昧无知的民哪,你们这样报答耶和华吗? 他岂不是你的父、将你买来的吗? 他是制造你、建立你的。
7 Remember the days of old. Consider the years of many generations. Ask thy father, and he will show thee, thine elders, and they will tell thee.
你当追想上古之日, 思念历代之年; 问你的父亲,他必指示你; 问你的长者,他必告诉你。
8 When the Most High gave to the nations their inheritance, when he separated the sons of men, he set the bounds of the peoples according to the number of the sons of Israel.
至高者将地业赐给列邦,将世人分开, 就照以色列人的数目立定万民的疆界。
9 For Jehovah's portion is his people. Jacob is the lot of his inheritance.
耶和华的分本是他的百姓; 他的产业本是雅各。
10 He found him in a desert land, and in the waste howling wilderness. He compassed him about. He cared for him. He kept him as the apple of his eye.
耶和华遇见他在旷野— 荒凉野兽吼叫之地, 就环绕他,看顾他, 保护他,如同保护眼中的瞳人。
11 As an eagle that stirs up her nest, that flutters over her young, he spread abroad his wings. He took them. He bore them on his pinions.
又如鹰搅动巢窝, 在雏鹰以上两翅搧展, 接取雏鹰,背在两翼之上。
12 Jehovah alone led him, and there was no foreign god with him.
这样,耶和华独自引导他, 并无外邦神与他同在。
13 He made him ride on the high places of the earth, and he ate the increase of the field, and he made him to suck honey out of the rock, and oil out of the flinty rock,
耶和华使他乘驾地的高处, 得吃田间的土产; 又使他从磐石中咂蜜, 从坚石中吸油;
14 butter of the herd, and milk of the flock, with fat of lambs, and rams of the breed of Bashan, and goats, with the finest of the wheat, and of the blood of the grape thou drank wine.
也吃牛的奶油, 羊的奶,羊羔的脂油, 巴珊所出的公绵羊和山羊, 与上好的麦子, 也喝葡萄汁酿的酒。
15 But Jeshurun grew fat, and kicked. Thou have grown fat. Thou have grown thick. Thou have become sleek. Then he forsook God who made him, and lightly esteemed the Rock of his salvation.
但耶书 渐渐肥胖,粗壮, 光润,踢跳,奔跑, 便离弃造他的 神, 轻看救他的磐石;
16 They moved him to jealousy with strange gods. With abominations they provoked him to anger.
敬拜别神,触动 神的愤恨, 行可憎恶的事,惹了他的怒气。
17 They sacrificed to demons, not God, to gods that they knew not, to new gods that came up of late, which your fathers did not dread.
所祭祀的鬼魔并非真神, 乃是素不认识的神, 是近来新兴的, 是你列祖所不畏惧的。
18 Thou are unmindful of the Rock that begot thee, and have forgotten God who gave thee birth.
你轻忽生你的磐石, 忘记产你的 神。
19 And Jehovah saw, and abhorred, because of the provocation of his sons and his daughters.
耶和华看见他的儿女惹动他, 就厌恶他们,说:
20 And he said, I will hide my face from them. I will see what their end shall be. For they are a very perverse generation, sons in whom is no faithfulness.
我要向他们掩面, 看他们的结局如何。 他们本是极乖僻的族类, 心中无诚实的儿女。
21 They have moved me to jealousy with that which is not God. They have provoked me to anger with their vanities, and I will move them to jealousy with a non-nation. I will provoke them to anger with a foolish nation.
他们以那“不算为神”的触动我的愤恨, 以虚无的神惹了我的怒气。 我也要以那“不成子民”的触动他们的愤恨, 以愚昧的国民惹了他们的怒气。
22 For a fire is kindled in my anger, and burns to the lowest Sheol, and devours the earth with its increase, and sets on fire the foundations of the mountains. (Sheol )
因为在我怒中有火烧起, 直烧到极深的阴间, 把地和地的出产尽都焚烧, 山的根基也烧着了。 (Sheol )
23 I will heap evils upon them. I will spend my arrows upon them,
我要将祸患堆在他们身上, 把我的箭向他们射尽。
24 to be wasted with hunger, and devoured with burning heat and bitter destruction. And I will send upon them the teeth of beasts, with the poison of crawling things of the dust.
他们必因饥饿消瘦, 被炎热苦毒吞灭。 我要打发野兽用牙齿咬他们, 并土中腹行的,用毒气害他们。
25 Outside the sword shall bereave, and in the chambers terror, to both young man and virgin, the suckling with the man of gray hairs.
外头有刀剑,内室有惊恐, 使人丧亡,使少男、童女、 吃奶的、白发的,尽都灭绝。
26 I said, I would scatter them afar, I would make the remembrance of them to cease from among men,
我说,我必将他们分散远方, 使他们的名号从人间除灭。
27 were it not that I feared the provocation of the enemy, lest their adversaries should judge amiss, lest they should say, Our hand is exalted, and Jehovah has not done all this.
惟恐仇敌惹动我, 只怕敌人错看,说:是我们手的能力, 并非耶和华所行的。
28 For they are a nation void of counsel, and there is no understanding in them.
因为以色列民毫无计谋, 心中没有聪明。
29 Oh that they were wise, that they understood this, that they would consider their latter end!
惟愿他们有智慧, 能明白这事,肯思念他们的结局。
30 How should one chase a thousand, and two put ten thousand to flight unless their Rock had sold them, and Jehovah had delivered them up?
若不是他们的磐石卖了他们, 若不是耶和华交出他们, 一人焉能追赶他们千人? 二人焉能使万人逃跑呢?
31 For their rock is not as our Rock, even our enemies themselves being judges.
据我们的仇敌自己断定, 他们的磐石不如我们的磐石。
32 For their vine is of the vine of Sodom, and of the fields of Gomorrah. Their grapes are grapes of gall, their clusters are bitter.
他们的葡萄树是所多玛的葡萄树, 蛾摩拉田园所生的; 他们的葡萄是毒葡萄, 全挂都是苦的。
33 Their wine is the poison of serpents, and the cruel venom of asps.
他们的酒是大蛇的毒气, 是虺蛇残害的恶毒。
34 Is not this laid up in store with me, sealed up among my treasures?
这不都是积蓄在我这里, 封锁在我府库中吗?
35 Vengeance is for me, and recompense at the time when their foot shall slide. For the day of their calamity is at hand, and the things that are to come upon them shall make haste.
他们失脚的时候,伸冤报应在我; 因他们遭灾的日子近了; 那要临在他们身上的必速速来到。
36 For Jehovah will judge his people, and regrets for his servants, when he sees that their power is gone, and there is none remaining, shut up or left at large.
耶和华见他百姓毫无能力, 无论困住的、自由的都没有剩下, 就必为他们伸冤, 为他的仆人后悔。
37 And he will say, Where are their gods, the rock in which they took refuge,
他必说:他们的神, 他们所投靠的磐石,
38 which ate the fat of their sacrifices, and drank the wine of their drink offering? Let them rise up and help you, let them be your protection.
就是向来吃他们祭牲的脂油, 喝他们奠祭之酒的,在哪里呢? 他可以兴起帮助你们, 护卫你们。
39 See now that I, even I, am he, and there is no god with me. I kill, and I make alive. I wound, and I heal. And there is none that can deliver out of my hand.
你们如今要知道: 我,惟有我是 神; 在我以外并无别神。 我使人死,我使人活; 我损伤,我也医治, 并无人能从我手中救出来。
40 For I lift up my hand to heaven, and say, As I live forever,
我向天举手说: 我凭我的永生起誓:
41 if I whet my glittering sword, and my hand takes hold on judgment, I will render vengeance to my adversaries, and will recompense those who hate me.
我若磨我闪亮的刀, 手掌审判之权, 就必报复我的敌人, 报应恨我的人。
42 I will make my arrows drunk with blood, and my sword shall devour flesh, with the blood of the slain and the captives, from the head of the leaders of the enemy.
我要使我的箭饮血饮醉, 就是被杀被掳之人的血。 我的刀要吃肉, 乃是仇敌中首领之头的肉。
43 Rejoice, O ye Gentiles, with his people. For he will avenge the blood of his servants, and will render vengeance to his adversaries, and will recompense those who hate him, and will make expiation for his land, for his people.
你们外邦人当与主的百姓一同欢呼; 因他要伸他仆人流血的冤, 报应他的敌人, 洁净他的地,救赎他的百姓。
44 And Moses came and spoke all the words of this song in the ears of the people, he and Joshua the son of Nun.
摩西和嫩的儿子约书亚去将这歌的一切话说给百姓听。
45 And Moses made an end of speaking all these words to all Israel.
摩西向以色列众人说完了这一切的话,
46 And he said to them, Set your heart to all the words which I testify to you this day, which ye shall command your sons to observe to do, even all the words of this law.
又说:“我今日所警教你们的,你们都要放在心上;要吩咐你们的子孙谨守遵行这律法上的话。
47 For it is no vain thing for you, because it is your life, and through this thing ye shall prolong your days in the land where ye go over the Jordan to possess it.
因为这不是虚空、与你们无关的事,乃是你们的生命;在你们过约旦河要得为业的地上必因这事日子得以长久。”
48 And Jehovah spoke to Moses that selfsame day, saying,
当日,耶和华吩咐摩西说:
49 Get thee up onto this mountain of Abarim, to mount Nebo, which is in the land of Moab, that is opposite Jericho, and behold the land of Canaan, which I give to the sons of Israel for a possession.
“你上这亚巴琳山中的尼波山去,在摩押地与耶利哥相对,观看我所要赐给以色列人为业的迦南地。
50 And die on the mount where thou go up, and be gathered to thy people, as Aaron thy brother died in mount Hor, and was gathered to his people,
你必死在你所登的山上,归你列祖去,像你哥哥亚伦死在何珥山上,归他的列祖一样。
51 because ye trespassed against me in the midst of the sons of Israel at the waters of Meribah of Kadesh, in the wilderness of Zin, because ye did not sanctify me in the midst of the sons of Israel.
因为你们在寻的旷野,加低斯的米利巴水,在以色列人中没有尊我为圣,得罪了我。
52 For thou shall see the land before thee, but thou shall not go there into the land which I give the sons of Israel.
我所赐给以色列人的地,你可以远远地观看,却不得进去。”
