Deuteronomy 1
1 These are the words that Moses spoke to all Israel in the wilderness east of the Jordan—in the Arabah opposite Suph—between Paran and Tophel, Laban, Hazeroth, and Dizahab.
以下所记的是摩西在约旦河东的旷野、疏弗对面的亚拉巴—就是巴兰、陀弗、拉班、哈洗录、底撒哈中间—向以色列众人所说的话。（
2 It is an eleven-day journey from Horeb to Kadesh-barnea by way of Mount Seir.
从何烈山经过西珥山到加低斯·巴尼亚有十一天的路程。）
3 In the fortieth year, on the first day of the eleventh month, Moses proclaimed to the Israelites all that the LORD had commanded him concerning them.
出埃及第四十年十一月初一日，摩西照耶和华借着他所吩咐以色列人的话都晓谕他们。
4 This was after he had defeated Sihon king of the Amorites, who lived in Heshbon, and then at Edrei had defeated Og king of Bashan, who lived in Ashtaroth.
那时，他已经击杀了住希实本的亚摩利王西宏和住以得来、亚斯他录的巴珊王噩。
5 On the east side of the Jordan in the land of Moab, Moses began to explain this law, saying:
摩西在约旦河东的摩押地讲律法说：
6 The LORD our God said to us at Horeb: “You have stayed at this mountain long enough.
“耶和华—我们的 神在何烈山晓谕我们说：你们在这山上住的日子够了；
7 Resume your journey and go to the hill country of the Amorites; go to all the neighboring peoples in the Arabah, in the hill country, in the foothills, in the Negev, and along the seacoast to the land of the Canaanites and to Lebanon, as far as the great River Euphrates.
要起行转到亚摩利人的山地和靠近这山地的各处，就是亚拉巴、山地、高原、南地，沿海一带迦南人的地，并黎巴嫩山又到幼发拉底大河。
8 See, I have placed the land before you. Enter and possess the land that the LORD swore He would give to your fathers Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and to their descendants after them.”
如今我将这地摆在你们面前；你们要进去得这地，就是耶和华向你们列祖亚伯拉罕、以撒、雅各起誓应许赐给他们和他们后裔为业之地。”
9 At that time I said to you, “I cannot carry the burden for you alone.
“那时，我对你们说：‘管理你们的重任，我独自担当不起。
10 The LORD your God has multiplied you, so that today you are as numerous as the stars in the sky.
耶和华—你们的 神使你们多起来。看哪，你们今日像天上的星那样多。
11 May the LORD, the God of your fathers, increase you a thousand times over and bless you as He has promised.
惟愿耶和华—你们列祖的 神使你们比如今更多千倍，照他所应许你们的话赐福与你们。
12 But how can I bear your troubles, burdens, and disputes all by myself?
但你们的麻烦，和管理你们的重任，并你们的争讼，我独自一人怎能担当得起呢？
13 Choose for yourselves wise, understanding, and respected men from each of your tribes, and I will appoint them as your leaders.”
你们要按着各支派选举有智慧、有见识、为众人所认识的，我立他们为你们的首领。’
14 And you answered me and said, “What you propose to do is good.”
你们回答我说：‘照你所说的行了为妙。’
15 So I took the leaders of your tribes, wise and respected men, and appointed them as leaders over you—as commanders of thousands, of hundreds, of fifties, and of tens, and as officers for your tribes.
我便将你们各支派的首领，有智慧、为众人所认识的，照你们的支派，立他们为官长、千夫长、百夫长、五十夫长、十夫长，管理你们。
16 At that time I charged your judges: “Hear the disputes between your brothers, and judge fairly between a man and his brother or a foreign resident.
“当时，我嘱咐你们的审判官说：‘你们听讼，无论是弟兄彼此争讼，是与同居的外人争讼，都要按公义判断。
17 Show no partiality in judging; hear both small and great alike. Do not be intimidated by anyone, for judgment belongs to God. And bring to me any case too difficult for you, and I will hear it.”
审判的时候，不可看人的外貌；听讼不可分贵贱，不可惧怕人，因为审判是属乎 神的。若有难断的案件，可以呈到我这里，我就判断。’
18 And at that time I commanded you all the things you were to do.
那时，我将你们所当行的事都吩咐你们了。”
19 And just as the LORD our God had commanded us, we set out from Horeb and went toward the hill country of the Amorites, through all the vast and terrifying wilderness you have seen. When we reached Kadesh-barnea,
“我们照着耶和华—我们 神所吩咐的从何烈山起行，经过你们所看见那大而可怕的旷野，往亚摩利人的山地去，到了加低斯·巴尼亚。
20 I said: “You have reached the hill country of the Amorites, which the LORD our God is giving us.
我对你们说：‘你们已经到了耶和华—我们 神所赐给我们的亚摩利人之山地。
21 See, the LORD your God has placed the land before you. Go up and take possession of it as the LORD, the God of your fathers, has told you. Do not be afraid or discouraged.”
看哪，耶和华—你的 神已将那地摆在你面前，你要照耶和华—你列祖的 神所说的上去得那地为业；不要惧怕，也不要惊惶。’
22 Then all of you approached me and said, “Let us send men ahead of us to search out the land and bring us word of what route to follow and which cities to enter.”
你们都就近我来说：‘我们要先打发人去，为我们窥探那地，将我们上去该走何道，必进何城，都回报我们。’
23 The plan seemed good to me, so I selected twelve men from among you, one from each tribe.
这话我以为美，就从你们中间选了十二个人，每支派一人。
24 They left and went up into the hill country, and came to the Valley of Eshcol and spied out the land.
于是他们起身上山地去，到以实各谷，窥探那地。
25 They took some of the fruit of the land in their hands, carried it down to us, and brought us word: “It is a good land that the LORD our God is giving us.”
他们手里拿着那地的果子下来，到我们那里，回报说：‘耶和华—我们的 神所赐给我们的是美地。’
26 But you were unwilling to go up; you rebelled against the command of the LORD your God.
“你们却不肯上去，竟违背了耶和华—你们 神的命令，
27 You grumbled in your tents and said, “Because the LORD hates us, He has brought us out of the land of Egypt to deliver us into the hand of the Amorites to be annihilated.
在帐棚内发怨言说：‘耶和华因为恨我们，所以将我们从埃及地领出来，要交在亚摩利人手中，除灭我们。
28 Where can we go? Our brothers have made our hearts melt, saying: ‘The people are larger and taller than we are; the cities are large, with walls up to the heavens. We even saw the descendants of the Anakim there.’”
我们上哪里去呢？我们的弟兄使我们的心消化，说那地的民比我们又大又高，城邑又广大又坚固，高得顶天，并且我们在那里看见亚衲族的人。’
29 So I said to you: “Do not be terrified or afraid of them!
我就对你们说：‘不要惊恐，也不要怕他们。
30 The LORD your God, who goes before you, will fight for you, just as you saw Him do for you in Egypt
在你们前面行的耶和华—你们的 神必为你们争战，正如他在埃及和旷野，在你们眼前所行的一样。
31 and in the wilderness, where the LORD your God carried you, as a man carries his son, all the way by which you traveled until you reached this place.”
你们在旷野所行的路上，也曾见耶和华—你们的 神抚养你们，如同人抚养儿子一般，直等你们来到这地方。’
32 But in spite of all this, you did not trust the LORD your God,
你们在这事上却不信耶和华—你们的 神。
33 who went before you on the journey, in the fire by night and in the cloud by day, to seek out a place for you to camp and to show you the road to travel.
他在路上，在你们前面行，为你们找安营的地方；夜间在火柱里，日间在云柱里，指示你们所当行的路。”
34 When the LORD heard your words, He grew angry and swore an oath, saying,
“耶和华听见你们这话，就发怒，起誓说：
35 “Not one of the men of this evil generation shall see the good land I swore to give your fathers,
‘这恶世代的人，连一个也不得见我起誓应许赐给你们列祖的美地；
36 except Caleb son of Jephunneh. He will see it, and I will give him and his descendants the land on which he has set foot, because he followed the LORD wholeheartedly.”
惟有耶孚尼的儿子迦勒必得看见，并且我要将他所踏过的地赐给他和他的子孙，因为他专心跟从我。’
37 The LORD was also angry with me on your account, and He said, “Not even you shall enter the land.
耶和华为你的缘故也向我发怒，说：‘你必不得进入那地。
38 Joshua son of Nun, who stands before you, will enter it. Encourage him, for he will enable Israel to inherit the land.
伺候你、嫩的儿子约书亚，他必得进入那地；你要勉励他，因为他要使以色列人承受那地为业。
39 And the little ones you said would become captives—your children who on that day did not know good from evil—will enter the land that I will give them, and they will possess it.
并且你们的妇人孩子，就是你们所说、必被掳掠的，和今日不知善恶的儿女，必进入那地。我要将那地赐给他们，他们必得为业。
40 But you are to turn back and head for the wilderness along the route to the Red Sea.”
至于你们，要转回，从红海的路往旷野去。’
41 “We have sinned against the LORD,” you replied. “We will go up and fight, as the LORD our God has commanded us.” Then each of you put on his weapons of war, thinking it easy to go up into the hill country.
“那时，你们回答我说：‘我们得罪了耶和华，情愿照耶和华—我们 神一切所吩咐的上去争战。’于是你们各人带着兵器，争先上山地去了。
42 But the LORD said to me, “Tell them not to go up and fight, for I am not with you to keep you from defeat by your enemies.”
耶和华吩咐我说：‘你对他们说：不要上去，也不要争战；因我不在你们中间，恐怕你们被仇敌杀败了。’
43 So I spoke to you, but you would not listen. You rebelled against the command of the LORD and presumptuously went up into the hill country.
我就告诉了你们，你们却不听从，竟违背耶和华的命令，擅自上山地去了。
44 Then the Amorites who lived in the hills came out against you and chased you like a swarm of bees. They routed you from Seir all the way to Hormah.
住那山地的亚摩利人就出来攻击你们，追赶你们，如蜂拥一般，在西珥杀退你们，直到何珥玛。
45 And you returned and wept before the LORD, but He would not listen to your voice or give ear to you.
你们便回来，在耶和华面前哭号；耶和华却不听你们的声音，也不向你们侧耳。
46 For this reason you stayed in Kadesh for a long time—a very long time.
于是你们在加低斯住了许多日子。”
