Deuteronomy 12
1 These are the precepts and judgments, that you must do in the land, which the Lord the God of thy fathers will give thee, to possess it all the days that thou shalt walk 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 Destroy all the places in which the nations, that you shall possess, worshipped their gods upon high mountains, and hills, and under every shady 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 Overthrow their altars, and break down their statues, burn their groves with fire, and break their idols in pieces: destroy their names out of those places.
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 You shall not do so to the Lord your God:
你们不可照他们那样事奉耶和华—你们的 神。
5 But you shall come to the place, which the Lord your God shall choose out of all your tribes, to put his name there, and to dwell in it:
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 you shall offer in that place your holocausts and victims, the tithes and firstfruits of your hands and your vows and gifts, the firstborn of your herds and 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 you shall eat there in the sight of the Lord your God: and you shall rejoice in all things, whereunto you shall put your hand, you and your houses wherein the Lord your God hath blessed you.
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 You shall not do there the things we do here this day, every man that which seemeth good to himself.
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 until this present time you are not come to refit, and to the possession, which the Lord your God will give you.
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 You shall pass over the Jordan, and shall dwell in the land which the Lord your God will give you, that you may have rest from all enemies round about: and may dwell without any fear,
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 In the place, which the Lord your God shall choose, that his name may be therein. Thither shall you bring all the things that I command you, holocausts, and victims, and tithes, and the firstfruits of your hands: and whatsoever is the choicest in the gifts which you shall vow to the Lord.
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 There shall you feast before the Lord your God, you and your sons and your daughters, your menservants and maid-servants, and the Levite that dwelleth in your cities. For he hath no other part and possession among 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 Beware lest thou offer thy holocausts in every place that thou shalt see:
你要谨慎，不可在你所看中的各处献燔祭。
14 But in the place which the Lord shall choose in one of thy tribes shalt thou offer sacrifices. and 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 But if thou desirest to eat, and the eating of flesh delight thee, kill, and eat according to the blessing of the Lord thy God, which he hath given thee, in thy cities: whether it be unclean, that is to say, having blemish or defect: or clean, that is to say, sound and without blemish, such as may be offered, as the roe, and the hart, shalt thou eat it:
“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 the blood thou shalt not eat, but thou shalt pour it out upon the earth as water.
只是不可吃血，要倒在地上，如同倒水一样。
17 Thou mayst not eat in thy towns the tithes of thy corn, and thy wine, and thy oil, the firstborn of thy herds and thy cattle, nor any thing that thou vowest, and that thou wilt offer voluntarily, and the firstfruits of thy hands:
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 thou shalt eat them before the Lord thy God in the place which the Lord thy God shall choose, thou and thy son and thy daughter, and thy manservant, and maidservant, and the Levite that dwelleth in thy cities: and thou shalt rejoice and be refreshed before the Lord thy God in all things, whereunto thou shalt put 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 thou forsake not the Levite all the time that thou livest in the land.
你要谨慎，在你所住的地方永不可丢弃利未人。
20 When the Lord thy God shall have enlarged thy borders, as he hath spoken to thee, and thou wilt eat the flesh that thy soul desireth:
“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 And if the place which the Lord thy God shall choose, that his name should be there, be far off, thou shalt kill of thy herds and of thy flocks, as I have commanded thee, and shalt eat in thy towns, as it pleaseth thee.
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 roe and the hart is eaten, so shalt thou eat them: both the clean and unclean shall eat of them alike.
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 beware of this, that thou eat not the blood, for the blood is for the soul: and therefore thou must not eat the soul 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 But 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 That it may be well with thee and thy children after thee, when thou shalt do that which is pleasing in the sight of the Lord.
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 the things which thou hast sanctified and vowed to the Lord, thou shalt take, and shalt come to the place which the Lord shall 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 shalt offer thy oblations the flesh and the blood upon the altar of the Lord thy God: the blood of thy victims thou shalt pour on the altar: and the flesh thou thyself shalt 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 Observe and hear all the things that I command thee, that it may be well with thee and thy children after thee for ever, when thou shalt do what is good and pleasing in the sight of the Lord 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 the Lord thy God shall have destroyed before thy face the nations, which then shalt go in to possess, and when thou shalt possess them, and dwell 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 Beware lest thou imitate them, after they are destroyed at thy coming in, and lest thou seek after their ceremonies, saying: As these nations have worshipped their gods, so will I also worship.
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 in like manner to the Lord thy God. For they have done to their gods all the abominations which the Lord abhorreth, offering their sons and daughters, and burning them with fire.
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 What I command thee, that only do thou to the Lord: neither add any thing, nor diminish.
凡我所吩咐的，你们都要谨守遵行，不可加添，也不可删减。
