Deuteronomy 26
1 And it shall be when you shall have entered into the land, which the Lord your God gives you to inherit it, and you shall have inherited it, and you shall have lived upon it,
「你進去得了耶和華－你上帝所賜你為業之地居住，
2 that you shall take of the first of the fruits of your land, which the Lord your God gives you, and you shall put them into a basket, and you shall go to the place which the Lord your God shall choose to have his name called there.
就要從耶和華－你上帝賜你的地上將所收的各種初熟的土產取些來，盛在筐子裏，往耶和華－你上帝所選擇要立為他名的居所去，
3 And you shall come to the priest who shall be in those days, and you shall say to him, I testify this day to the Lord my God, that I am come into the land which the Lord sware to our fathers to give to us.
見當時作祭司的，對他說：『我今日向耶和華－你上帝明認，我已來到耶和華向我們列祖起誓應許賜給我們的地。』
4 And the priest shall take the basket out of your hands, and shall set it before the altar of the Lord your God:
祭司就從你手裏取過筐子來，放在耶和華－你上帝的壇前。
5 and he shall answer and say before the Lord your God, My father abandoned Syria, and went down into Egypt, and sojourned there with a small number, and became there a mighty nation and a great multitude.
你要在耶和華－你上帝面前說：『我祖原是一個將亡的亞蘭人，下到埃及寄居。他人口稀少，在那裏卻成了又大又強、人數很多的國民。
6 And the Egyptians afflicted us, and humbled us, and imposed hard tasks on us:
埃及人惡待我們，苦害我們，將苦工加在我們身上。
7 and we cried to the Lord our God, and the Lord heard our voice, and saw our humiliation, and our labor, and our affliction.
於是我們哀求耶和華－我們列祖的上帝，耶和華聽見我們的聲音，看見我們所受的困苦、勞碌、欺壓，
8 And the Lord brought us out of Egypt himself with his great strength, and his mighty hand, and his high arm, and with great visions, and with signs, and with wonders.
他就用大能的手和伸出來的膀臂，並大可畏的事與神蹟奇事，領我們出了埃及，
9 And he brought us into this place, and gave us this land, a land flowing with milk and honey.
將我們領進這地方，把這流奶與蜜之地賜給我們。
10 And now, behold, I have brought the first of the fruits of the land, which you gave me, O Lord, a land flowing with milk and honey: and you shall leave it before the Lord your God, and you shall worship before the Lord your God;
耶和華啊，現在我把你所賜給我地上初熟的土產奉了來。』隨後你要把筐子放在耶和華－你上帝面前，向耶和華－你的上帝下拜。
11 and you shall rejoice in all the good [things], which the Lord your God has given you, [you] and your family, and the Levite, and the stranger that is within you.
你和利未人，並在你們中間寄居的，要因耶和華－你上帝所賜你和你家的一切福分歡樂。
12 And when you shall have completed all the tithings of your fruits in the third year, you shall give the second tenth to the Levite, and stranger, and fatherless, and widow; and they shall eat it in your cities, and be merry.
「每逢三年，就是十分取一之年，你取完了一切土產的十分之一，要分給利未人和寄居的，與孤兒寡婦，使他們在你城中可以吃得飽足。
13 And you shall say before the Lord your God, I have fully collected the holy things out of my house, and I have given them to the Levite, and the stranger, and the orphan, and the widow, according to all commands which you did command me: I did not transgress your command, and I did not forget it.
你又要在耶和華－你上帝面前說：『我已將聖物從我家裏拿出來，給了利未人和寄居的，與孤兒寡婦，是照你所吩咐我的一切命令。你的命令我都沒有違背，也沒有忘記。
14 And in my distress I did not eat of them, I have not gathered of them for an unclean purpose, I have not given of them to the dead; I have listened to the voice of the Lord our God, I have done as you have commanded me.
我守喪的時候，沒有吃這聖物；不潔淨的時候，也沒有拿出來，又沒有為死人送去。我聽從了耶和華－我上帝的話，都照你所吩咐的行了。
15 Look down from your holy house, from heaven, and bless your people Israel, and the land which you have given them, as you did swear to our fathers, to give to us a land flowing with milk and honey.
求你從天上、你的聖所垂看，賜福給你的百姓以色列與你所賜給我們的地，就是你向我們列祖起誓賜我們流奶與蜜之地。』」
16 On this day the Lord your God charged you to keep all the ordinances and judgments; and you shall observe and do them, with all your heart, and with all your soul.
「耶和華－你的上帝今日吩咐你行這些律例典章，所以你要盡心盡性謹守遵行。
17 You have chosen God this day to be your God, and to walk in all his ways, and to observe his ordinances and judgments, and to listen to his voice.
你今日認耶和華為你的上帝，應許遵行他的道，謹守他的律例、誡命、典章，聽從他的話。
18 And the Lord has chosen you this day that you should be to him a peculiar people, as he said, to keep his commands;
耶和華今日照他所應許你的，也認你為他的子民，使你謹守他的一切誡命，
19 and that you should be above all nations, as he has made you renowned, and a boast, and glorious, that you should be a holy people to the Lord your God, as he has spoken.
又使你得稱讚、美名、尊榮，超乎他所造的萬民之上，並照他所應許的使你歸耶和華－你上帝為聖潔的民。」
