Deuteronomy 1
1 These [are] the words which Moses spoke to all Israel on this side Jordan in the desert towards the west near the Red Sea, between Pharan Tophol, and Lobon, and Aulon, and the gold works.
以下所記的是摩西在約旦河東的曠野、疏弗對面的亞拉巴－就是巴蘭、陀弗、拉班、哈洗錄、底撒哈中間－向以色列眾人所說的話。（
2 [It is] a journey of eleven days from Choreb to mount Seir as far as Cades Barne.
從何烈山經過西珥山到加低斯‧巴尼亞有十一天的路程。）
3 And it came to pass in the forties year, in the eleventh month, on the first [day] of the month, Moses spoke to all the children of Israel, according to all things which the Lord commanded him for them:
出埃及第四十年十一月初一日，摩西照耶和華藉着他所吩咐以色列人的話都曉諭他們。
4 after he had struck Seon king of the Amorites who lived in Esebon, and Og the king of Basan who lived in Astaroth and in Edrain;
那時，他已經擊殺了住希實本的亞摩利王西宏和住以得來、亞斯他錄的巴珊王噩。
5 beyond Jordan in the land of Moab, Moses began to declare this law, saying,
摩西在約旦河東的摩押地講律法說：
6 The Lord your God spoke to us in Choreb, saying, Let it suffice you to have lived [so long] in this mountain.
「耶和華－我們的上帝在何烈山曉諭我們說：你們在這山上住的日子夠了；
7 Turn you and depart and enter into the mountain of the Amorites, and [go] to all that dwell near about Araba, to the mountain and the plain and to the south, and the land of the Chananites near the sea, and Antilibanus, as far as the great river, the river Euphrates.
要起行轉到亞摩利人的山地和靠近這山地的各處，就是亞拉巴、山地、高原、南地，沿海一帶迦南人的地，並黎巴嫩山又到幼發拉底大河。
8 Behold, [God] has delivered the land before you; go in and inherit the land, which I sware to your fathers, Abraam, and Isaac, and Jacob, to give it to them and to their seed after them.
如今我將這地擺在你們面前；你們要進去得這地，就是耶和華向你們列祖亞伯拉罕、以撒、雅各起誓應許賜給他們和他們後裔為業之地。」
9 And I spoke to you at that time, saying, I shall not be able by myself to bear you.
「那時，我對你們說：『管理你們的重任，我獨自擔當不起。
10 The Lord your God has multiplied you, and, behold, you are today as the stars of heaven for multitude.
耶和華－你們的上帝使你們多起來。看哪，你們今日像天上的星那樣多。
11 The Lord God of your fathers add to you a thousand-fold more than you are, and bless you as he has spoken to you.
惟願耶和華－你們列祖的上帝使你們比如今更多千倍，照他所應許你們的話賜福與你們。
12 How shall I alone be able to bear your labour, and your burden, and your gainsayings?
但你們的麻煩，和管理你們的重任，並你們的爭訟，我獨自一人怎能擔當得起呢？
13 Take to yourselves wise and understanding and prudent men for your tribes, and I will set your leaders over you.
你們要按着各支派選舉有智慧、有見識、為眾人所認識的，我立他們為你們的首領。』
14 And you answered me and said, The thing which you have told us [is] good to do.
你們回答我說：『照你所說的行了為妙。』
15 So I took of you wise and understanding and prudent men, and I set them to rule over you as rulers of thousands, and rulers of hundreds, and rulers of fifties, and rulers of tens, and officers to your judges.
我便將你們各支派的首領，有智慧、為眾人所認識的，照你們的支派，立他們為官長、千夫長、百夫長、五十夫長、十夫長，管理你們。
16 And I charged your judges at that time, saying, Hear [causes] between your brethren, and judge rightly between a man and [his] brother, and the stranger that is with him.
「當時，我囑咐你們的審判官說：『你們聽訟，無論是弟兄彼此爭訟，是與同居的外人爭訟，都要按公義判斷。
17 You shall not have respect to persons in judgement, you shall judge small and great equally; you shall not shrink from before the person of a man, for the judgement is God's; and whatever matter shall be too hard for you, you shall bring it to me, and I will hear it.
審判的時候，不可看人的外貌；聽訟不可分貴賤，不可懼怕人，因為審判是屬乎上帝的。若有難斷的案件，可以呈到我這裏，我就判斷。』
18 And I charged upon you at that time all the commands which you shall perform.
那時，我將你們所當行的事都吩咐你們了。」
19 And we departed from Choreb, and went through all that great wilderness and terrible, which you saw, by the way of the mountain of the Amorite, as the Lord our God charged us, and we came as far as Cades Barne.
「我們照着耶和華－我們上帝所吩咐的從何烈山起行，經過你們所看見那大而可怕的曠野，往亞摩利人的山地去，到了加低斯‧巴尼亞。
20 And I said to you, You have come as far as the mountain of the Amorite, which the Lord our God gives to you:
我對你們說：『你們已經到了耶和華－我們上帝所賜給我們的亞摩利人之山地。
21 behold, the Lord your God has delivered to us the land before you: go up and inherit it as the Lord God of your fathers said to you; fear not, neither be afraid.
看哪，耶和華－你的上帝已將那地擺在你面前，你要照耶和華－你列祖的上帝所說的上去得那地為業；不要懼怕，也不要驚惶。』
22 And you all came to me, and said, Let us send men before us, and let them go up to the land for us; and let them bring back to us a report of the way by which we shall go up, and of the cities into which we shall enter.
你們都就近我來說：『我們要先打發人去，為我們窺探那地，將我們上去該走何道，必進何城，都回報我們。』
23 And the saying pleased me: and I took of you twelve men, one man of a tribe.
這話我以為美，就從你們中間選了十二個人，每支派一人。
24 And they turned and went up to the mountain, and they came as far as the valley of the cluster, and surveyed it.
於是他們起身上山地去，到以實各谷，窺探那地。
25 And they took in their hands of the fruit of the land, and brought it to you, and said, The land is good which the Lord our God gives us.
他們手裏拿着那地的果子下來，到我們那裏，回報說：『耶和華－我們的上帝所賜給我們的是美地。』
26 Yet you would not go up, but rebelled against the words of the Lord our God.
「你們卻不肯上去，竟違背了耶和華－你們上帝的命令，
27 And you murmured in your tents, and said, Because the Lord hated us, he has brought us out of the land of Egypt to deliver us into the hands of the Amorites, to destroy us.
在帳棚內發怨言說：『耶和華因為恨我們，所以將我們從埃及地領出來，要交在亞摩利人手中，除滅我們。
28 Whither do we go up? and your brethren drew away your heart, saying, [It is a] great nation and populous, and mightier than we; and [there are] cities great and walled up to heaven: moreover we saw there the sons of the giants.
我們上哪裏去呢？我們的弟兄使我們的心消化，說那地的民比我們又大又高，城邑又廣大又堅固，高得頂天，並且我們在那裏看見亞衲族的人。』
29 And I said to you, Fear not, neither be you afraid of them;
我就對你們說：『不要驚恐，也不要怕他們。
30 the Lord your God who goes before your face, he shall fight against them together with you effectually, according to all that he wrought for you in the land of Egypt;
在你們前面行的耶和華－你們的上帝必為你們爭戰，正如他在埃及和曠野，在你們眼前所行的一樣。
31 and in this wilderness which you saw, by the way of the mountain of the Amorite; how the Lord your God will bear you as a nursling, as if any man should nurse his child, through all the way which you have gone until you came to this place.
你們在曠野所行的路上，也曾見耶和華－你們的上帝撫養你們，如同人撫養兒子一般，直等你們來到這地方。』
32 And in this matter you believed not the Lord our God,
你們在這事上卻不信耶和華－你們的上帝。
33 who goes before you in the way to choose you a place, guiding you in fire by night, showing you the way by which you go, and a cloud by day.
他在路上，在你們前面行，為你們找安營的地方；夜間在火柱裏，日間在雲柱裏，指示你們所當行的路。」
34 And the Lord heard the voice of your words, and being greatly provoked he sware, saying,
「耶和華聽見你們這話，就發怒，起誓說：
35 Not one of these men shall see this good land, which I sware to their fathers,
『這惡世代的人，連一個也不得見我起誓應許賜給你們列祖的美地；
36 except Chaleb the son of Jephonne, he shall see it; and to him I will give the land on which he went up, and to his sons, because he attended to the things of the Lord.
惟有耶孚尼的兒子迦勒必得看見，並且我要將他所踏過的地賜給他和他的子孫，因為他專心跟從我。』
37 And the Lord was angry with me for your sake, saying, Neither shall you by any means enter therein.
耶和華為你的緣故也向我發怒，說：『你必不得進入那地。
38 Joshua the son of Naue, who stands by you, he shall enter in there; do you strengthen him, for he shall cause Israel to inherit it.
伺候你、嫩的兒子約書亞，他必得進入那地；你要勉勵他，因為他要使以色列人承受那地為業。
39 And every young child who this day knows not good or evil, —they shall enter therein, and to them I will give it, and they shall inherit it.
並且你們的婦人孩子，就是你們所說、必被擄掠的，和今日不知善惡的兒女，必進入那地。我要將那地賜給他們，他們必得為業。
40 And you turned and marched into the wilderness, in the way by the Red Sea.
至於你們，要轉回，從紅海的路往曠野去。』
41 And you answered and said, We have sinned before the Lord our God; we will go up and fight according to all that the Lord our God has commanded us: and having taken every one his weapons of war, and being gathered together, you went up to the mountain.
「那時，你們回答我說：『我們得罪了耶和華，情願照耶和華－我們上帝一切所吩咐的上去爭戰。』於是你們各人帶着兵器，爭先上山地去了。
42 And the Lord said to me, Tell them, You shall not go up, neither shall you fight, for I am not with you; thus shall you not be destroyed before your enemies.
耶和華吩咐我說：『你對他們說：不要上去，也不要爭戰；因我不在你們中間，恐怕你們被仇敵殺敗了。』
43 And I spoke to you, and you did not listen to me; and you transgressed the commandment of the Lord; and you forced your way and went up into the mountain.
我就告訴了你們，你們卻不聽從，竟違背耶和華的命令，擅自上山地去了。
44 And the Amorite who lived in that mountain came out to meet you, and pursued you as bees do, and wounded you from Seir to Herma.
住那山地的亞摩利人就出來攻擊你們，追趕你們，如蜂擁一般，在西珥殺退你們，直到何珥瑪。
45 And you sat down and wept before the Lord our God, and the Lord listened not to your voice, neither did he take heed to you.
你們便回來，在耶和華面前哭號；耶和華卻不聽你們的聲音，也不向你們側耳。
46 And you lived in Cades many days, as many days as you lived [there].
於是你們在加低斯住了許多日子。」
