Deuteronomy 4
1 Now therefore hearken, O Israel, unto the statutes and unto the judgments, which I teach you, in order to do them, that all of you may live, and go in and possess the land which the LORD God of your fathers gives you.
“以色列人哪，现在我所教训你们的律例典章，你们要听从遵行，好叫你们存活，得以进入耶和华—你们列祖之 神所赐给你们的地，承受为业。
2 All of you shall not add unto the word which I command you, neither shall all of you diminish ought from it, that all of you may keep the commandments of the LORD your God which I command you.
所吩咐你们的话，你们不可加添，也不可删减，好叫你们遵守我所吩咐的，就是耶和华—你们 神的命令。
3 Your eyes have seen what the LORD did because of Baalpeor: for all the men that followed Baalpeor, the LORD your God has destroyed them from among you.
耶和华因巴力·毗珥的事所行的，你们亲眼看见了。凡随从巴力·毗珥的人，耶和华—你们的 神都从你们中间除灭了。
4 But all of you that did cleave unto the LORD your God are alive every one of you this day.
惟有你们专靠耶和华—你们 神的人，今日全都存活。
5 Behold, I have taught you statutes and judgments, even as the LORD my God commanded me, that all of you should do so in the land where all of you go to possess it.
我照着耶和华—我 神所吩咐的将律例典章教训你们，使你们在所要进去得为业的地上遵行。
6 Keep therefore and do them; for this is your wisdom and your understanding in the sight of the nations, which shall hear all these statutes, and say, Surely this great nation is a wise and understanding people.
所以你们要谨守遵行；这就是你们在万民眼前的智慧、聪明。他们听见这一切律例，必说：‘这大国的人真是有智慧，有聪明！’
7 For what nation is there so great, who has God so nigh unto them, as the LORD our God is in all things that we call upon him for?
哪一大国的人有神与他们相近，像耶和华—我们的 神、在我们求告他的时候与我们相近呢？
8 And what nation is there so great, that has statutes and judgments so righteous as all this law, which I set before you this day?
又哪一大国有这样公义的律例典章、像我今日在你们面前所陈明的这一切律法呢？
9 Only take heed to yourself, and keep your soul diligently, lest you forget the things which your eyes have seen, and lest they depart from your heart all the days of your life: but teach them your sons, and your sons' sons;
“你只要谨慎，殷勤保守你的心灵，免得忘记你亲眼所看见的事，又免得你一生、这事离开你的心；总要传给你的子子孙孙。
10 Specially the day that you stood before the LORD your God in Horeb, when the LORD said unto me, Gather me the people together, and I will make them hear my words, that they may learn to fear me all the days that they shall live upon the earth, and that they may teach their children.
你在何烈山站在耶和华—你 神面前的那日，耶和华对我说：‘你为我招聚百姓，我要叫他们听见我的话，使他们存活在世的日子，可以学习敬畏我，又可以教训儿女这样行。’
11 And all of you came near and stood under the mountain; and the mountain burned with fire unto the midst of heaven, with darkness, clouds, and thick darkness.
那时你们近前来，站在山下；山上有火焰冲天，并有昏黑、密云、幽暗。
12 And the LORD spoke unto you out of the midst of the fire: all of you heard the voice of the words, but saw no embodiment; only all of you heard a voice.
耶和华从火焰中对你们说话，你们只听见声音，却没有看见形象。
13 And he declared unto you his covenant, which he commanded you to perform, even ten commandments; and he wrote them upon two tables of stone.
他将所吩咐你们当守的约指示你们，就是十条诫，并将这诫写在两块石版上。
14 And the LORD commanded me at that time to teach you statutes and judgments, that all of you might do them in the land where all of you go over to possess it.
那时耶和华又吩咐我将律例典章教训你们，使你们在所要过去得为业的地上遵行。”
15 Take all of you therefore good heed unto yourselves; for all of you saw no manner of embodiment on the day that the LORD spoke unto you in Horeb out of the midst of the fire:
“所以，你们要分外谨慎；因为耶和华在何烈山、从火中对你们说话的那日，你们没有看见什么形象。
16 Lest all of you corrupt yourselves, and make you a graven image, the embodiment of any figure, the likeness of male or female,
惟恐你们败坏自己，雕刻偶像，仿佛什么男像女像，
17 The likeness of any beast that is on the earth, the likeness of any winged fowl that flies in the air,
或地上走兽的像，或空中飞鸟的像，
18 The likeness of any thing that creeps on the ground, the likeness of any fish that is in the waters beneath the earth:
或地上爬物的像，或地底下水中鱼的像。
19 And lest you lift up your eyes unto heaven, and when you see the sun, and the moon, and the stars, even all the host of heaven, should be driven to worship them, and serve them, which the LORD your God has divided unto all nations under the whole heaven.
又恐怕你向天举目观看，见耶和华—你的 神为天下万民所摆列的日月星，就是天上的万象，自己便被勾引敬拜事奉它。
20 But the LORD has taken you, and brought you forth out of the iron furnace, even out of Egypt, to be unto him a people of inheritance, as all of you are this day.
耶和华将你们从埃及领出来，脱离铁炉，要特作自己产业的子民，像今日一样。
21 Furthermore the LORD was angry with me for your sakes, and swore that I should not go over Jordan, and that I should not go in unto that good land, which the LORD your God gives you for an inheritance:
耶和华又因你们的缘故向我发怒，起誓必不容我过约旦河，也不容我进入耶和华—你 神所赐你为业的那美地。
22 But I must die in this land, I must not go over Jordan: but all of you shall go over, and possess that good land.
我只得死在这地，不能过约旦河；但你们必过去得那美地。
23 Take heed unto yourselves, lest all of you forget the covenant of the LORD your God, which he made with you, and make you a graven image, or the likeness of any thing, which the LORD your God has forbidden you.
你们要谨慎，免得忘记耶和华—你们 神与你们所立的约，为自己雕刻偶像，就是耶和华—你 神所禁止你做的偶像；
24 For the LORD your God is a consuming fire, even a jealous God.
因为耶和华—你的 神乃是烈火，是忌邪的 神。
25 When you shall brought forth children, and children's children, and all of you shall have remained long in the land, and shall corrupt yourselves, and make a graven image, or the likeness of any thing, and shall do evil in the sight of the LORD your God, to provoke him to anger:
“你们在那地住久了，生子生孙，就雕刻偶像，仿佛什么形象，败坏自己，行耶和华—你 神眼中看为恶的事，惹他发怒。
26 I call heaven and earth to witness against you this day, that all of you shall soon utterly perish from off the land unto which all of you go over Jordan to possess it; all of you shall not prolong your days upon it, but shall utterly be destroyed.
我今日呼天唤地向你们作见证，你们必在过约旦河得为业的地上速速灭尽！你们不能在那地上长久，必尽行除灭。
27 And the LORD shall scatter you among the nations, and all of you shall be left few in number among the heathen, where the LORD shall lead you.
耶和华必使你们分散在万民中；在他所领你们到的万国里，你们剩下的人数稀少。
28 And there all of you shall serve gods, the work of men's hands, wood and stone, which neither see, nor hear, nor eat, nor smell.
在那里，你们必事奉人手所造的神，就是用木石造成、不能看、不能听、不能吃、不能闻的神。
29 But if from thence you shall seek the LORD your God, you shall find him, if you seek him with all your heart and with all your soul.
但你们在那里必寻求耶和华—你的 神。你尽心尽性寻求他的时候，就必寻见。
30 When you are in tribulation, and all these things are come upon you, even in the latter days, if you turn to the LORD your God, and shall be obedient unto his voice;
日后你遭遇一切患难的时候，你必归回耶和华—你的 神，听从他的话。
31 (For the LORD your God is a merciful God; ) he will not forsake you, neither destroy you, nor forget the covenant of your fathers which he swore unto them.
耶和华—你 神原是有怜悯的 神；他总不撇下你，不灭绝你，也不忘记他起誓与你列祖所立的约。
32 For ask now of the days that are past, which were before you, since the day that God created man upon the earth, and ask from the one side of heaven unto the other, whether there has been any such thing as this great thing is, or has been heard like it?
“你且考察在你以前的世代，自 神造人在世以来，从天这边到天那边，曾有何民听见 神在火中说话的声音，像你听见还能存活呢？这样的大事何曾有、何曾听见呢？
33 Did ever people hear the voice of God speaking out of the midst of the fire, as you have heard, and live?
34 Or has God assayed to go and take him a nation from the midst of another nation, by temptations, by signs, and by wonders, and by war, and by a mighty hand, and by a stretched out arm, and by great terrors, according to all that the LORD your God did for you in Egypt before your eyes?
神何曾从别的国中将一国的人民领出来，用试验、神迹、奇事、争战、大能的手，和伸出来的膀臂，并大可畏的事，像耶和华—你们的 神在埃及，在你们眼前为你们所行的一切事呢？
35 Unto you it was showed, that you might know that the LORD he is God; there is none else beside him.
这是显给你看，要使你知道，惟有耶和华—他是 神，除他以外，再无别神。
36 Out of heaven he made you to hear his voice, that he might instruct you: and upon earth he showed you his great fire; and you heard his words out of the midst of the fire.
他从天上使你听见他的声音，为要教训你，又在地上使你看见他的烈火，并且听见他从火中所说的话。
37 And because he loved your fathers, therefore he chose their seed after them, and brought you out in his sight with his mighty power out of Egypt;
因他爱你的列祖，所以拣选他们的后裔，用大能亲自领你出了埃及，
38 To drive out nations from before you greater and mightier than you are, to bring you in, to give you their land for an inheritance, as it is this day.
要将比你强大的国民从你面前赶出，领你进去，将他们的地赐你为业，像今日一样。
39 Know therefore this day, and consider it in your heart, that the LORD he is God in heaven above, and upon the earth beneath: there is none else.
所以，今日你要知道，也要记在心上，天上地下惟有耶和华他是 神，除他以外，再无别神。
40 You shall keep therefore his statutes, and his commandments, which I command you this day, that it may go well with you, and with your children after you, and that you may prolong your days upon the earth, which the LORD your God gives you, for ever.
我今日将他的律例诫命晓谕你，你要遵守，使你和你的子孙可以得福，并使你的日子在耶和华—你 神所赐的地上得以长久。”
41 Then Moses severed three cities on this side Jordan toward the sunrising;
“那时，摩西在约旦河东，向日出之地，分定三座城，
42 That the slayer might flee thither, which should kill his neighbour unexpectedly, and hated him not in times past; and that fleeing unto one of these cities he might live:
使那素无仇恨、无心杀了人的，可以逃到这三城之中的一座城，就得存活：
43 Namely, Bezer in the wilderness, in the plain country, of the Reubenites; and Ramoth in Gilead, of the Gadites; and Golan in Bashan, of the Manassites.
为吕便人分定旷野平原的比悉；为迦得人分定基列的拉末；为玛拿西人分定巴珊的哥兰。”
44 And this is the law which Moses set before the children of Israel:
摩西在以色列人面前所陈明的律法—
45 These are the testimonies, and the statutes, and the judgments, which Moses spoke unto the children of Israel, after they came forth out of Egypt.
就是摩西在以色列人出埃及后所传给他们的法度、律例、典章；
46 On this side Jordan, in the valley opposite to Bethpeor, in the land of Sihon king of the Amorites, who dwelt at Heshbon, whom Moses and the children of Israel stroke, after they were come forth out of Egypt:
在约旦河东伯·毗珥对面的谷中，在住希实本、亚摩利王西宏之地；这西宏是摩西和以色列人出埃及后所击杀的。
47 And they possessed his land, and the land of Og king of Bashan, two kings of the Amorites, which were on this side Jordan toward the sunrising;
他们得了他的地，又得了巴珊王噩的地，就是两个亚摩利王，在约旦河东向日出之地。
48 From Aroer, which is by the bank of the river Arnon, even unto mount Sion, which is Hermon,
从亚嫩谷边的亚罗珥，直到西云山，就是黑门山。
49 And all the plain on this side Jordan eastward, even unto the sea of the plain, under the springs of Pisgah.
还有约旦河东的全亚拉巴，直到亚拉巴海，靠近毗斯迦山根。
