Deuteronomy 16
1 Observe the month of Abib and celebrate the Passover to the LORD your God, because in the month of Abib the LORD your God brought you out of Egypt by night.
你應遵守「阿彼布」月，為上主你的天主舉行逾越節，因為在「阿彼布」月的一個夜裏，上主你的天主領你出了埃及。
2 You are to offer to the LORD your God the Passover sacrifice from the herd or flock in the place the LORD will choose as a dwelling for His Name.
你應在上主所選定立自己名號的地方，給上主你的天主祭殺牛羊，作為逾越節犧牲。
3 You must not eat leavened bread with it; for seven days you are to eat with it unleavened bread, the bread of affliction, because you left the land of Egypt in haste—so that you may remember for the rest of your life the day you left the land of Egypt.
吃這祭肉時，不可吃發酵餅；七天之內，當吃無酵餅，即困苦餅，因為你曾倉猝地走來出了埃及地。為此你一生應天天記念你出埃及的日子。
4 No leaven is to be found in all your land for seven days, and none of the meat you sacrifice in the evening of the first day shall remain until morning.
七天之久，在你全境內不許見到酵母；你前一天晚上祭獻的牲肉，不可有剩下的，留到早晨。
5 You are not to sacrifice the Passover animal in any of the towns that the LORD your God is giving you.
你不可在上主你的天主賜給你的任何城鎮內，祭殺逾越節犧牲；
6 You must only offer the Passover sacrifice at the place the LORD your God will choose as a dwelling for His Name. Do this in the evening as the sun sets, at the same time you departed from Egypt.
只可在上主你的天主所選定立自己名號的地方，晚上太陽快落時，就是你出埃及的時刻，祭殺逾越節犧牲。
7 And you shall roast it and eat it in the place the LORD your God will choose, and in the morning you shall return to your tents.
並應在上主你的天主所選定的地方，將祭牲煮熟分食；到了早晨，你可回到你的帳棚中去。
8 For six days you must eat unleavened bread, and on the seventh day you shall hold a solemn assembly to the LORD your God, and you must not do any work.
六天內應吃無酵餅，到第七天，應為上主你的天主召開盛會，任何勞工都不許做。
9 You are to count off seven weeks from the time you first put the sickle to the standing grain.
你應數七個星期，從鐮刀收割莊稼算起，數七個星期，
10 And you shall celebrate the Feast of Weeks to the LORD your God with a freewill offering that you give in proportion to how the LORD your God has blessed you,
為上主你的天主舉行七七節，照上主你的天主祝福你的，獻上你手中自願獻的祭品。
11 and you shall rejoice before the LORD your God in the place He will choose as a dwelling for His Name—you, your sons and daughters, your menservants and maidservants, and the Levite within your gates, as well as the foreigner, the fatherless, and the widows among you.
你和你的兒女、僕婢，以及在你城鎮內的肋未人，在你中間的外方人、孤兒和寡婦，都應在上主你的天主所選定立自己名號的地方，於上主你的天主面前歡樂。
12 Remember that you were slaves in Egypt, and carefully follow these statutes.
應記得你在埃及也曾做過奴隸，所以應謹守遵行這些法令。
13 You are to celebrate the Feast of Tabernacles for seven days after you have gathered the produce of your threshing floor and your winepress.
你由禾場和榨酒池內收藏了出產以後，應七天舉行帳棚節。
14 And you shall rejoice in your feast—you, your sons and daughters, your menservants and maidservants, and the Levite, as well as the foreigner, the fatherless, and the widows among you.
在這慶節內，你和你的兒女、僕婢，以及在你城鎮內的肋未人、外方人、孤兒和寡婦都應歡樂。
15 For seven days you shall celebrate a feast to the LORD your God in the place He will choose, because the LORD your God will bless you in all your produce and in all the work of your hands, so that your joy will be complete.
你應在上主所選定的地方，為上主你的天主舉行這慶節七天，因為上主你的天主，要在你的一切收穫和你著手進行的一切事業上祝福你，使你滿心喜樂。
16 Three times a year all your men are to appear before the LORD your God in the place He will choose: at the Feast of Unleavened Bread, the Feast of Weeks, and the Feast of Tabernacles. No one should appear before the LORD empty-handed.
每年三次，即在無酵節、七七節和帳棚節，你所有的男子都應到上主所選的地方去，朝拜上主你的天主；但不要空手出現在上主面前，
17 Everyone must appear with a gift as he is able, according to the blessing the LORD your God has given you.
每人應照上主你的天主賜與你的，依自己的財力，奉獻禮品。
18 You are to appoint judges and officials for your tribes in every town that the LORD your God is giving you. They are to judge the people with righteous judgment.
在上主你的天主賜給你的各城鎮內，要為各支派設立判官和書記，他們應按照公道審判人民，
19 Do not deny justice or show partiality. Do not accept a bribe, for a bribe blinds the eyes of the wise and twists the words of the righteous.
不可違犯公平，不可徇情顧面，不可接受賄賂，因為賄賂令智慧人的眼目失明；
20 Pursue justice, and justice alone, so that you may live, and you may possess the land that the LORD your God is giving you.
只應追求公道與正義，好叫你能生存，佔有上主你的天主賜給你的土地。
21 Do not set up any wooden Asherah pole next to the altar you will build for the LORD your God,
在你為上主你的天主所建的祭壇旁，不許豎立任何木頭的神柱；
22 and do not set up for yourselves a sacred pillar, which the LORD your God hates.
也不可立置上主你的天主所憎惡的石碣。
