Deuteronomy 12
1 These are the statutes and ordinances, which ye shall take heed to do in the land, which Jehovah the God of thy fathers is giving thee to possess it, all the days that ye live upon the earth.
“你们存活于世的日子，在耶和华—你们列祖的 神所赐你们为业的地上，要谨守遵行的律例典章乃是这些：
2 Ye shall utterly destroy all the places wherein the nations which ye shall dispossess have served their gods, upon the high mountains, and upon the hills, and under every green tree;
你们要将所赶出的国民事奉神的各地方，无论是在高山，在小山，在各青翠树下，都毁坏了；
3 and ye shall break down their altars, and shatter their statues, and burn their Asherahs with fire; and ye shall hew down the graven images of their gods, and ye shall destroy the names of them out of that place.
也要拆毁他们的祭坛，打碎他们的柱像，用火焚烧他们的木偶，砍下他们雕刻的神像，并将其名从那地方除灭。
4 Ye shall not do so unto Jehovah your God;
你们不可照他们那样事奉耶和华—你们的 神。
5 but unto the place which Jehovah your God will choose out of all your tribes to set his name there, his habitation shall ye seek, and thither thou shalt come;
但耶和华—你们的 神从你们各支派中选择何处为立他名的居所，你们就当往那里去求问，
6 and thither ye shall bring your burnt-offerings and your sacrifices, and your tithes, and the heave-offering of your hand, and your vows, and your voluntary-offerings, and the firstlings of your kine and of your sheep;
将你们的燔祭、平安祭、十分取一之物，和手中的举祭，并还愿祭、甘心祭，以及牛群羊群中头生的，都奉到那里。
7 and ye shall eat there before Jehovah your God, and ye shall rejoice, ye and your households, in all the business of your hand, wherein Jehovah thy God hath blessed thee.
在那里，耶和华—你们 神的面前，你们和你们的家属都可以吃，并且因你手所办的一切事蒙耶和华—你的 神赐福，就都欢乐。
8 Ye shall not do after all that we do here this day, each one whatever is right in his own eyes.
我们今日在这里所行的是各人行自己眼中看为正的事，你们将来不可这样行；
9 For ye are not as yet come to the rest and to the inheritance which Jehovah thy God giveth thee.
因为你们还没有到耶和华—你 神所赐你的安息地，所给你的产业。
10 But when ye have gone over the Jordan, and dwell in the land which Jehovah your God causeth you to inherit, and when he hath given you rest from all your enemies round about, and ye dwell in safety,
但你们过了约旦河，得以住在耶和华—你们 神使你们承受为业之地，又使你们太平，不被四围的一切仇敌扰乱，安然居住。
11 then there shall be a place which Jehovah your God will choose to cause his name to dwell there; thither shall ye bring all that I command you: your burnt-offerings, and your sacrifices, your tithes, and the heave-offering of your hand, and all your choice vows which ye shall vow to Jehovah.
那时要将我所吩咐你们的燔祭、平安祭、十分取一之物，和手中的举祭，并向耶和华许愿献的一切美祭，都奉到耶和华—你们 神所选择要立为他名的居所。
12 And ye shall rejoice before Jehovah your God, ye, and your sons, and your daughters, and your bondmen, and your handmaids, and the Levite that is within your gates; for he hath no portion nor inheritance with you.
你们和儿女、仆婢，并住在你们城里无分无业的利未人，都要在耶和华—你们的 神面前欢乐。
13 Take heed to thyself that thou offer not thy burnt-offerings in every place that thou seest;
你要谨慎，不可在你所看中的各处献燔祭。
14 but in the place which Jehovah will choose in one of thy tribes, there thou shalt offer thy burnt-offerings, and there thou shalt do all that I command thee.
惟独耶和华从你那一支派中所选择的地方，你就要在那里献燔祭，行我一切所吩咐你的。
15 Nevertheless, according to all the desire of thy soul thou mayest slay and eat flesh in all thy gates, according to the blessing of Jehovah thy God which he hath given thee: the unclean and the clean may eat thereof, as of the gazelle, and the hart.
“然而，在你各城里都可以照耶和华—你 神所赐你的福分，随心所欲宰牲吃肉；无论洁净人不洁净人都可以吃，就如吃羚羊与鹿一般。
16 Only, ye shall not eat the blood; ye shall pour it upon the earth as water.
只是不可吃血，要倒在地上，如同倒水一样。
17 Thou mayest not eat within thy gates the tithe of thy corn, or of thy new wine, or of thine oil, or the firstlings of thy kine or of thy sheep, nor any of thy vows which thou vowest, nor thy voluntary-offerings, nor the heave-offering of thy hand;
你的五谷、新酒，和油的十分之一，或是牛群羊群中头生的，或是你许愿献的，甘心献的，或是手中的举祭，都不可在你城里吃。
18 but before Jehovah thy God shalt thou eat them in the place which Jehovah thy God will choose, thou and thy son, and thy daughter, and thy bondman, and thy handmaid, and the Levite that is within thy gates; and thou shalt rejoice before Jehovah thy God in all the business of thy hand.
但要在耶和华—你的 神面前吃，在耶和华—你 神所要选择的地方，你和儿女、仆婢，并住在你城里的利未人，都可以吃；也要因你手所办的，在耶和华—你 神面前欢乐。
19 Take heed to thyself that thou forsake not the Levite all the days thou shalt be in thy land.
你要谨慎，在你所住的地方永不可丢弃利未人。
20 When Jehovah thy God shall enlarge thy border, as he promised thee, and thou say, I will eat flesh, because thy soul longeth to eat flesh, thou mayest eat flesh, according to all the desire of thy soul.
“耶和华—你的 神照他所应许扩张你境界的时候，你心里想要吃肉，说：‘我要吃肉’，就可以随心所欲地吃肉。
21 If the place which Jehovah thy God will choose to set his name there be too far from thee, then thou shalt slay of thy kine and of thy sheep which Jehovah hath given thee, as I have commanded thee, and thou shalt eat in thy gates according to all the desire of thy soul.
耶和华—你 神所选择要立他名的地方若离你太远，就可以照我所吩咐的，将耶和华赐给你的牛羊取些宰了，可以随心所欲在你城里吃。
22 Even as the gazelle and the hart is eaten, so thou shalt eat them: the unclean and the clean alike may eat of them.
你吃那肉，要像吃羚羊与鹿一般；无论洁净人不洁净人都可以吃。
23 Only, be sure that thou eat not the blood; for the blood is the life, and thou mayest not eat the life with the flesh;
只是你要心意坚定，不可吃血，因为血是生命；不可将血与肉同吃。
24 thou shalt not eat it; thou shalt pour it upon the earth as water:
不可吃血，要倒在地上，如同倒水一样。
25 thou shalt not eat it; that it may go well with thee, and with thy children after thee, when thou shalt do what is right in the eyes of Jehovah.
不可吃血。这样，你行耶和华眼中看为正的事，你和你的子孙就可以得福。
26 But thy hallowed things which thou hast, and what thou hast vowed, thou shalt take, and come to the place which Jehovah will choose;
只是你分别为圣的物和你的还愿祭要奉到耶和华所选择的地方去。
27 and thou shalt offer thy burnt-offerings, the flesh and the blood, upon the altar of Jehovah thy God; and the blood of thy sacrifices shall be poured out upon the altar of Jehovah thy God, and the flesh shalt thou eat.
你的燔祭，连肉带血，都要献在耶和华—你 神的坛上。平安祭的血要倒在耶和华—你 神的坛上；平安祭的肉，你自己可以吃。
28 Take heed to hear all these words which I command thee, that it may be well with thee, and with thy children after thee for ever, when thou doest what is good and right in the eyes of Jehovah thy God.
你要谨守听从我所吩咐的一切话，行耶和华—你 神眼中看为善，看为正的事。这样，你和你的子孙就可以永远享福。”
29 When Jehovah thy God cutteth off from before thee the nations whither thou goest, to take possession of them, and thou hast dispossessed them, and dwellest in their land,
“耶和华—你 神将你要去赶出的国民从你面前剪除，你得了他们的地居住，
30 take heed to thyself that thou be not ensnared [to follow] after them, after that they are destroyed from before thee; and that thou inquire not after their gods, saying, How did these nations serve their gods? even so will I do likewise.
那时就要谨慎，不可在他们除灭之后随从他们的恶俗，陷入网罗，也不可访问他们的神说：‘这些国民怎样事奉他们的神，我也要照样行。’
31 Thou shalt not do so to Jehovah thy God; for every [thing that is] abomination to Jehovah, which he hateth, have they done unto their gods; for even their sons and their daughters have they burned in the fire to their gods.
你不可向耶和华—你的 神这样行，因为他们向他们的神行了耶和华所憎嫌所恨恶的一切事，甚至将自己的儿女用火焚烧，献与他们的神。
32 Everything that I command you, ye shall take heed to do it; thou shalt not add thereto, nor take from it.
凡我所吩咐的，你们都要谨守遵行，不可加添，也不可删减。
