Deuteronomy 29
1 These are the words of the covenant which the Lord commanded Moses to make with the children of Israel in the land of Moab: beside that covenant which he made with them in Horeb.
这是耶和华在摩押地吩咐摩西与以色列人立约的话，是在他和他们于何烈山所立的约之外。
2 And Moses called all Israel, and said to them: You have seen all the things that the Lord did before you in the land of Egypt to Pharao, and to all his servants, and to his whole land.
摩西召了以色列众人来，对他们说：“耶和华在埃及地，在你们眼前向法老和他众臣仆，并他全地所行的一切事，你们都看见了，
3 The great temptations, which thy eyes have seen, those mighty signs and wonders,
就是你亲眼看见的大试验和神迹，并那些大奇事。
4 And the Lord hath not given you a heart to understand, and eyes to see, and ears that may hear, unto this present day.
但耶和华到今日没有使你们心能明白，眼能看见，耳能听见。
5 He hath brought you forty years through the desert: your garments are not worn out, neither are the shoes of your feet consumed with age.
我领你们在旷野四十年，你们身上的衣服并没有穿破，脚上的鞋也没有穿坏。
6 You have not eaten bread, nor have you drunk wine or strong drink: that you might know that I am the Lord your God.
你们没有吃饼，也没有喝清酒浓酒。这要使你们知道，耶和华是你们的 神。
7 And you came to this place: sand Sehon king of Hesebon, and Og king of Basan, came out against us to fight. And we slew them.
你们来到这地方，希实本王西宏、巴珊王噩都出来与我们交战，我们就击杀了他们，
8 And took their land, and delivered it for a possession to Ruben and Gad, and the half tribe of Manasses.
取了他们的地给吕便支派、迦得支派，和玛拿西半支派为业。
9 Keep therefore the words of this covenant, and fulfill them: that you may understand all that you do.
所以你们要谨守遵行这约的话，好叫你们在一切所行的事上亨通。
10 You all stand this day before the Lord your God, your princes, and tribes, and ancients, and doctors, all the people of Israel,
“今日，你们的首领、族长、长老、官长、以色列的男丁，你们的妻子儿女，和营中寄居的，以及为你们劈柴挑水的人，都站在耶和华—你们的 神面前，
11 Your children and your wives, and the stranger that abideth with thee in the camp, besides the hewers of wood, and them that bring water:
12 That thou mayst pass in the covenant of the Lord thy God, and in the oath which this day the Lord thy God maketh with thee.
为要你顺从耶和华—你 神今日与你所立的约，向你所起的誓。
13 That he may raise thee up a people to himself, and he may be thy God as he hath spoken to thee, and as he swore to thy fathers Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
这样，他要照他向你所应许的话，又向你列祖亚伯拉罕、以撒、雅各所起的誓，今日立你作他的子民，他作你的 神。
14 Neither with you only do I make this covenant, and confirm these oaths,
我不但与你们立这约，起这誓，
15 But with all that are present and that are absent.
凡与我们一同站在耶和华—我们 神面前的，并今日不在我们这里的人，我也与他们立这约，起这誓。
16 For you know how we dwelt in the land of Egypt, and how we have passed through the midst of nations, and passing through them,
“我们曾住过埃及地，也从列国经过；这是你们知道的。
17 You have seen their abominations and filth, that is to say, their idols, wood and stone, silver and gold, which they worshipped.
你们也看见他们中间可憎之物，并他们木、石、金、银的偶像。
18 Lest perhaps there should be among you a man or a woman, a family or a tribe, whose heart is turned away this day from the Lord our God, to go and serve the gods of those nations: and there should be among you a root bringing forth gall and bitterness.
惟恐你们中间，或男或女，或族长或支派长，今日心里偏离耶和华—我们的 神，去事奉那些国的神；又怕你们中间有恶根生出苦菜和茵 来，
19 And when he shall hear the words of this oath, he should bless himself in his heart saying: I shall have peace, and will walk on in the naughtiness of my heart: and the drunken may consume the thirsty,
听见这咒诅的话，心里仍是自夸说：‘我虽然行事心里顽梗，连累众人，却还是平安。’
20 And the Lord should not forgive him: but his wrath and jealousy against that man should be exceedingly enkindled at that time, and all the curses that are written in this volume should light upon him: and the Lord should blot out his name from under heaven,
耶和华必不饶恕他；耶和华的怒气与愤恨要向他发作，如烟冒出，将这书上所写的一切咒诅都加在他身上。耶和华又要从天下涂抹他的名，
21 And utterly destroy him out of all the tribes of Israel, according to the curses that are contained in the book of this law and covenant:
也必照着写在律法书上、约中的一切咒诅将他从以色列众支派中分别出来，使他受祸。
22 And the following generation shall say, and the children that shall be born hereafter, and the strangers that shall come from afar, seeing the plagues of that land and the evils wherewith the Lord hath afflicted it,
你们的后代，就是以后兴起来的子孙，和远方来的外人，看见这地的灾殃，并耶和华所降与这地的疾病，
23 Burning it with brimstone, and the heat of salt, so that it cannot be sown any more, nor any green thing grow therein, after the example of the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrha, Adama and Seboim, which the Lord destroyed in his wrath and indignation:
又看见遍地有硫磺，有盐卤，有火迹，没有耕种，没有出产，连草都不生长—好像耶和华在忿怒中所倾覆的所多玛、蛾摩拉、押玛、洗扁一样—
24 And all the nations shall say: Why hath the Lord done thus to this land? what meaneth this exceeding great heat of his wrath?
所看见的人，连万国人，都必问说：‘耶和华为何向此地这样行呢？这样大发烈怒是什么意思呢？’
25 And they shall answer: Because they forsook the covenant of the Lord, which he made with their fathers, when he brought them out of the land of Egypt:
人必回答说：‘是因这地的人离弃了耶和华—他们列祖的 神，领他们出埃及地的时候与他们所立的约，
26 And they have served strange gods, and adored them, whom they knew not, and for whom they had not been assigned:
去事奉敬拜素不认识的别神，是耶和华所未曾给他们安排的。
27 Therefore the wrath of the Lord was kindled against this land, to bring upon it all the curses that are written in this volume:
所以耶和华的怒气向这地发作，将这书上所写的一切咒诅都降在这地上。
28 And he hath cast them out of their land, in anger and in wrath, and in very great indignation, and hath thrown them into a strange land, as it is seen this day.
耶和华在怒气、忿怒、大恼恨中将他们从本地拔出来，扔在别的地上，像今日一样。’
29 Secret things to the Lord our God: things that are manifest, to us and to our children for ever, that we may do all the words of this law.
“隐秘的事是属耶和华—我们 神的；惟有明显的事是永远属我们和我们子孙的，好叫我们遵行这律法上的一切话。”
