Deuteronomy 26
1 Also when thou shalt come into the lande which the Lord thy God giueth thee for inheritance, and shalt possesse it, and dwell therein,
當你進入上主你的天主賜給你作產業的土地，佔領後住在那裏時，
2 Then shalt thou take of the first of all the fruite of the earth, and bring it out of the lande that the Lord thy God giueth thee, and put it in a basket, and goe vnto the place, which the Lord thy God shall chose to place his Name there.
應由上主你的天主賜給你的土地上，將一切田產的初熟之物，取出一部分放在筐裏，往上主你的天主選定立自己名號的地方去，
3 And thou shalt come vnto the Priest, that shall be in those dayes, and say vnto him, I acknowledge this day vnto the Lord thy God, that I am come vnto the countrey which the Lord sware vnto our fathers for to giue vs.
到當時供職的司祭前，對他說：「我今日向上主我的天主明認，我已來到了上主對我們的祖先誓許賜與我們的地方。」
4 Then the Priest shall take the basket out of thine hand, and set it downe before the altar of the Lord thy God.
司祭就由你手中接過筐子，放在上主你的天主的祭壇前；
5 And thou shalt answere and say before the Lord thy God, A Syrian was my father, who being ready to perish for hunger, went downe into Egypt, and soiourned there with a small company, and grew there vnto a nation great, mightie and full of people.
然後你就在上主你的天主面前聲明說：「我的祖先原是個飄泊的阿蘭人，下到埃及，同少數的家人寄居在那裏，竟成了一強大有力，人口眾多的民族。
6 And the Egyptians vexed vs, and troubled vs, and laded vs with cruell bondage.
埃及虐待我們，壓迫我們，勒令我們做苦工。
7 But when we cried vnto the Lord God of our fathers, the Lord heard our voyce, and looked on our aduersitie, and on our labour, and on our oppression.
我們向上主我們祖先的天主呼號，上主俯聽了我們的哀聲，垂視了我們的苦痛、勞役和所受的壓迫。
8 And the Lord brought vs out of Egypt in a mightie hande, and a stretched out arme, with great terriblenesse, both in signes and wonders.
上主以強力的手，伸展的臂，巨大的恐嚇，神蹟奇事，領我們出了埃及，
9 And he hath brought vs into this place, and hath giuen vs this land, euen a lande that floweth with milke and hony.
來到這地方，將這流奶流蜜的土地賜給了我們。
10 And now, lo, I haue brought ye first fruites of the land which thou, O Lord, hast giuen me, and thou shalt set it before the Lord thy God, and worship before the Lord thy God:
上主，請看! 我現今帶來了你賜給我的田地裏所出產的初熟之物。」遂將這初熟之物放在上主你的天主面前，俯伏朝拜上主你的天主。
11 And thou shalt reioyce in all the good things which the Lord thy God hath giuen vnto thee and to thine houshold, thou and the Leuite, and the stranger that is among you.
然後你與肋未人，和住在你中間的外方人，歡樂享受上主你的天主賜與你和你家庭的一切福分。
12 When thou hast made an end of tithing all the tythes of thine increase, the thirde yeere, which is the yeere of tithing, and hast giuen it vnto the Leuite, to the stranger, to the fatherlesse, and to the widowe, that they may eate within thy gates, and be satisfied,
在第三年，即獻什一之年，當你把你一切出產十分之一，完全取出，分給肋未人、外方人、孤兒和寡婦，並使他們在你的城鎮中吃飽之後，
13 Then thou shalt say before the Lord thy God, I haue brought the halowed thing out of mine house, and also haue giuen it vnto the Leuites and to the strangers, to the fatherlesse, and to the widow, according to all thy comandements which thou hast commanded me: I haue transgressed none of thy comandements, nor forgotten them.
你應到上主你的天主面前說：「我由我家中完全交出了這祝聖的一份，分給了肋未人、外方人、孤兒和寡婦，全照你吩咐我的命令；我沒有違犯你的命令，也沒有忽略。
14 I haue not eaten therof in my mourning, nor suffred ought to perish through vncleannes, nor giuen ought thereof for the dead, but haue hearkened vnto the voyce of the Lord my God: I haue done after al that thou hast comaded me.
這些聖物，在我居喪時，我沒有取食；在不潔中，我沒有交出，更沒有獻給死人；我聽從了上主我的天主的話，全照你吩咐我的一切履行了。
15 Looke downe from thine holy habitation, euen from heauen, and blesse thy people Israel, and the lande which thou hast giuen vs (as thou swarest vnto our fathers) the land that floweth with milke and hony.
願你由你神聖的住所，由天上俯視，祝福你的人民以色列，和你賜給我們的土地，即你向我們祖先所誓許的那流奶流蜜的地方。」
16 This day the Lord thy God doeth command thee to do these ordinances, and lawes: keepe them therefore, and do them with al thine heart, and with all thy soule.
上主你的天主今天吩咐你遵行這些法令和規則，你應全心全靈謹守遵行。
17 Thou hast set vp the Lord this day to be thy God, and to walke in his wayes, and to keepe his ordinances, and his commandements, and his lawes, and to hearken vnto his voyce.
今天你明認上主是你的天主，願履行他的道路，謹守他的法令、誡命和規則，聽從他的話。
18 And the Lord hath set thee vp this day, to be a precious people vnto him (as hee hath promised thee) and that thou shouldest keepe all his commandements,
上主今天也照他對你所說的，明認你為他特屬的人民，只要你謹守他的一切誡命，
19 And to make thee high aboue al nations (which he hath made) in praise, and in name, and in glory, and that thou shouldest be an holy people vnto the Lord thy God, as he hath said.
並且他要使你在名譽、聲望和光榮上，遠超過他所造的一切民族，使你如他所說的，成為屬於上主你的天主的聖潔人民。」
