Deuteronomy 31
1 And Moses goes and speaks these words to all Israel,
摩西去告訴以色列眾人
2 and he says to them, “I [am] a son of one hundred and twenty years today; I am not able to go out and to come in anymore, and YHWH has said to me, You do not pass over this Jordan.
說：「我現在一百二十歲了，不能照常出入；耶和華也曾對我說：『你必不得過這約旦河。』
3 Your God YHWH—He is passing over before you; He destroys these nations from before you, and you have possessed them; Joshua—he is passing over before you, as YHWH has spoken.
耶和華－你們的上帝必引導你們過去，將這些國民在你們面前滅絕，你們就得他們的地。約書亞必引導你們過去，正如耶和華所說的。
4 And YHWH has done to them as he has done to Sihon and to Og, kings of the Amorite, and to their land, whom He destroyed.
耶和華必待他們，如同從前待他所滅絕的亞摩利二王西宏與噩以及他們的國一樣。
5 And YHWH has given them before your face, and you have done to them according to all the command which I have commanded you;
耶和華必將他們交給你們；你們要照我所吩咐的一切命令待他們。
6 be strong and courageous, do not fear, nor be terrified because of them, for your God YHWH [is] He who is going with you; He does not fail you nor forsake you.”
你們當剛強壯膽，不要害怕，也不要畏懼他們，因為耶和華－你的上帝和你同去。他必不撇下你，也不丟棄你。」
7 And Moses calls for Joshua and says to him before the eyes of all Israel, “Be strong and courageous, for you go in with this people to the land which YHWH has sworn to their fathers to give to them, and you cause them to inherit it;
摩西召了約書亞來，在以色列眾人眼前對他說：「你當剛強壯膽！因為，你要和這百姓一同進入耶和華向他們列祖起誓應許所賜之地；你也要使他們承受那地為業。
8 and YHWH [is] He who is going before you, He Himself is with you; He does not fail you nor forsake you; do not fear, nor be frightened.”
耶和華必在你前面行；他必與你同在，必不撇下你，也不丟棄你。不要懼怕，也不要驚惶。」
9 And Moses writes this law and gives it to the priests (sons of Levi, those carrying the Ark of the Covenant of YHWH), and to all [the] elderly of Israel,
摩西將這律法寫出來，交給抬耶和華約櫃的祭司利未子孫和以色列的眾長老。
10 and Moses commands them, saying, “At the end of seven years, in the appointed time, the year of release, in the Celebration of Shelters,
摩西吩咐他們說：「每逢七年的末一年，就在豁免年的定期住棚節的時候，
11 in the coming in of all Israel to see the face of YHWH in the place which He chooses, you proclaim this law before all Israel in their ears.
以色列眾人來到耶和華－你上帝所選擇的地方朝見他。那時，你要在以色列眾人面前將這律法念給他們聽。
12 Assemble the people, the men, and the women, and the infants, and your sojourner who [is] within your gates, so that they hear, and so that they learn, and have feared your God YHWH, and observed to do all the words of this law;
要招聚他們男、女、孩子，並城裏寄居的，使他們聽，使他們學習，好敬畏耶和華－你們的上帝，謹守、遵行這律法的一切話，
13 and their sons, who have not known, hear and have learned to fear your God YHWH [for] all the days which you are living on the ground to where you are passing over the Jordan to possess it.”
也使他們未曾曉得這律法的兒女得以聽見，學習敬畏耶和華－你們的上帝，在你們過約旦河要得為業之地，存活的日子，常常這樣行。」
14 And YHWH says to Moses, “Behold, your days have drawn near to die; call Joshua, and station yourselves in the Tent of Meeting, and I charge him”; and Moses goes—Joshua also—and they station themselves in the Tent of Meeting,
耶和華對摩西說：「你的死期臨近了；要召約書亞來，你們二人站在會幕裏，我好囑咐他。」於是摩西和約書亞去站在會幕裏。
15 and YHWH is seen in the tent in a pillar of a cloud; and the pillar of the cloud stands at the opening of the tent.
耶和華在會幕裏雲柱中顯現，雲柱停在會幕門以上。
16 And YHWH says to Moses, “Behold, you are lying down with your fathers, and this people has risen and gone whoring after the gods of the stranger of the land, into the midst of which it has entered, and it has forsaken Me and broken My covenant which I made with it;
耶和華又對摩西說：「你必和你列祖同睡。這百姓要起來，在他們所要去的地上，在那地的人中，隨從外邦神行邪淫，離棄我，違背我與他們所立的約。
17 and My anger has burned against it in that day, and I have forsaken them, and hidden My face from them, and it has been for consumption, and many evils and distresses have found it, and it has said in that day, [Is] it not because my God is not in my midst that these evils have found me?
那時，我的怒氣必向他們發作；我也必離棄他們，掩面不顧他們，以致他們被吞滅，並有許多的禍患災難臨到他們。那日他們必說：『這些禍患臨到我們，豈不是因我們的上帝不在我們中間嗎？』
18 And I certainly hide My face in that day for all the evil which it has done, for it has turned to other gods.
那時，因他們偏向別神所行的一切惡，我必定掩面不顧他們。
19 And now, write this song for yourselves, and teach it [to] the sons of Israel; put it in their mouths, so that this song is to Me for a witness against the sons of Israel.
現在你要寫一篇歌，教導以色列人，傳給他們，使這歌見證他們的不是；
20 When I bring them to the ground flowing with milk and honey, which I have sworn to their fathers, and they have eaten, and been satisfied, and been fat, and have turned to other gods, and they have served them, and despised Me, and broken My covenant,
因為我將他們領進我向他們列祖起誓應許那流奶與蜜之地，他們在那裏吃得飽足，身體肥胖，就必偏向別神，事奉他們，藐視我，背棄我的約。
21 then it has been, when many evils and distresses meet it, that this song has testified to its face for a witness; for it is not forgotten out of the mouth of its seed, for I have known its imagining which it is doing today, before I bring them into the land of which I have sworn.”
那時，有許多禍患災難臨到他們，這歌必在他們面前作見證，他們後裔的口中必念誦不忘。我未領他們到我所起誓應許之地以先，他們所懷的意念我都知道了。」
22 And Moses writes this song on that day, and teaches it [to] the sons of Israel.
當日摩西就寫了一篇歌，教導以色列人。
23 Then He commands Joshua son of Nun, and says, “Be strong and courageous, for you bring in the sons of Israel to the land which I have sworn to them, and I am with you.”
耶和華囑咐嫩的兒子約書亞說：「你當剛強壯膽，因為你必領以色列人進我所起誓應許他們的地；我必與你同在。」
24 And it comes to pass, when Moses finishes to write the words of this law on a scroll, until their completion,
摩西將這律法的話寫在書上，及至寫完了，
25 that Moses commands the Levites carrying the Ark of the Covenant of YHWH, saying,
就吩咐抬耶和華約櫃的利未人說：
26 “Take this Scroll of the Law, and you have set it on the side of the Ark of the Covenant of your God YHWH, and it has been against you for a witness there;
「將這律法書放在耶和華－你們上帝的約櫃旁，可以在那裏見證以色列人的不是；
27 for I have known your rebellion and your stiff neck; behold, in my being yet alive with you today, you have been rebelling against YHWH, and surely also after my death.
因為我知道你們是悖逆的，是硬着頸項的。我今日還活着與你們同在，你們尚且悖逆耶和華，何況我死後呢？
28 Assemble to me all the elderly of your tribes, and your authorities, and I speak these words in their ears, and cause the heavens and the earth to testify against them,
你們要將你們支派的眾長老和官長都招聚了來，我好將這些話說與他們聽，並呼天喚地見證他們的不是。
29 for I have known that you act very corruptly after my death, and have turned aside from the way which I commanded you, and evil has met you in the latter end of the days, because you do evil in the eyes of YHWH, to make Him angry with the work of your hands.”
我知道我死後，你們必全然敗壞，偏離我所吩咐你們的道，行耶和華眼中看為惡的事，以手所做的惹他發怒；日後必有禍患臨到你們。」
30 And Moses speaks the words of this song in the ears of all the assembly of Israel, until their completion:
摩西將這一篇歌的話都說與以色列全會眾聽。
