Deuteronomy 12
1 “These [are] the statutes and the judgments which you observe to do in the land which YHWH, God of your fathers, has given to you to possess it, all the days that you are living on the ground.
“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 You utterly destroy all the places where the nations which you are dispossessing served their gods, on the high mountains, and on the heights, and under every green 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 and you have broken down their altars, and shattered their standing pillars, and you burn their Asherim with fire, and you cut down carved images of their gods, and have destroyed their name out of that place.
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 do not do so to your God YHWH;
你们不可照他们那样事奉耶和华—你们的 神。
5 rather—that you seek after the place which your God YHWH chooses out of all your tribes to put His Name there, for His Dwelling Place, and you have entered there,
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 have brought in there your burnt-offerings, and your sacrifices, and your tithes, and the raised-offering of your hand, and your vows, and your free-will offerings, and the firstlings of your herd and of your flock;
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 have eaten there before your God YHWH, and have rejoiced in every putting forth of your hand, you and your households, with which your God YHWH has 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 do not do according to all that we are doing here today—each [doing] anything that is right in his own eyes—
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 now you have not come to the rest and to the inheritance which your God YHWH is giving to 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 When you have passed over the Jordan, and have dwelt in the land which your God YHWH is causing you to inherit, and He has given rest to you from all your surrounding enemies, and you have dwelt confidently,
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 then it has been, the place on which your God YHWH fixes to cause His Name to dwell there, there you bring in all that which I am commanding you: your burnt-offerings, and your sacrifices, your tithes, and the raised-offering of your hand, and all the choice of your vows which you vow to YHWH.
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 And you have rejoiced before your God YHWH, you, and your sons, and your daughters, and your menservants, and your handmaids, and the Levite who [is] within your gates, for he has no part and inheritance with 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 Take heed to yourself lest you cause your burnt-offerings to ascend in any place which you see;
你要谨慎，不可在你所看中的各处献燔祭。
14 rather—that in the place which YHWH chooses in one of your tribes, there you cause your burnt-offerings to ascend, and there you do all that which I am commanding you.
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 Nevertheless, you slaughter anything of the desire of your soul, and have eaten [its] flesh according to the blessing of your God YHWH which He has given to you in all your gates; the unclean and the clean eat it, as [if] the roe and as [if] the deer.
“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, you do not eat the blood—you pour it on the earth as water;
只是不可吃血，要倒在地上，如同倒水一样。
17 you are not able to eat within your gates the tithe of your grain, and of your new wine, and your oil, and the firstlings of your herd and of your flock, and any of your vows which you vow, and your free-will offerings, and a raised-offering of your hand;
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 you eat it before your God YHWH in the place which your God YHWH fixes on, you, and your son, and your daughter, and your manservant, and your handmaid, and the Levite who [is] within your gates, and you have rejoiced before your God YHWH in every putting forth of your 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 to yourself lest you forsake the Levite [for] all your days on your ground.
你要谨慎，在你所住的地方永不可丢弃利未人。
20 When your God YHWH enlarges your border, as He has spoken to you, and you have said, Let me eat flesh—for your soul desires to eat flesh—you eat flesh of all the desire of your soul.
“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 When the place is far from you [in] which your God YHWH chooses to put His Name there, then you have sacrificed from your herd and from your flock which YHWH has given to you, as I have commanded you, and have eaten within your gates, of all the desire of your soul;
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 only, as the roe and the deer is eaten, so do you eat it; the unclean and the clean alike eat it.
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, be sure not to eat the blood, for the blood [is] the life, and you do not eat the life 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 you do not eat it—you pour it on the earth as water;
不可吃血，要倒在地上，如同倒水一样。
25 you do not eat it, in order that it may be well with you and with your sons after you when you do that which [is] right in the eyes of YHWH.
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 Only, your holy things which you have, and your vows, you take up, and have gone to the place which YHWH chooses,
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 you have made your burnt-offerings—the flesh and the blood—on the altar of your God YHWH; and the blood of your sacrifices is poured out by the altar of your God YHWH, and you eat the flesh.
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 you have obeyed all these words which I am commanding you, in order that it may be well with you and with your sons after you for all time, when you do that which [is] good and right in the eyes of your God YHWH.
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 your God YHWH cuts off the nations—to where you are going in to possess them—from your presence, and you have possessed them, and have dwelt 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 take heed to yourself lest you are ensnared after them, after their being destroyed out of your presence, and lest you inquire about their gods, saying, How do these nations serve their gods, that I also do so?
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 You do not do so to your God YHWH; for every abomination that YHWH has hated they have done for their gods, for they even burn their sons and their daughters with fire for their gods.
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 The whole thing which I am commanding you, you observe to do it; you do not add to it, nor diminish from it.”
凡我所吩咐的，你们都要谨守遵行，不可加添，也不可删减。
