Deuteronomy 32
1 “Give ear, O heavens, and I speak; And you hear, O earth, sayings of my mouth!
諸天哪，側耳，我要說話； 願地也聽我口中的言語。
2 My doctrine drops as rain; My sayings flow as dew; As storms on the tender grass, And as showers on the herb,
我的教訓要淋漓如雨； 我的言語要滴落如露， 如細雨降在嫩草上， 如甘霖降在菜蔬中。
3 For I proclaim the Name of YHWH; Ascribe greatness to our God!
我要宣告耶和華的名； 你們要將大德歸與我們的上帝。
4 The Rock—His work [is] perfect, For all His ways [are] just; God of steadfastness, and without iniquity; Righteous and upright [is] He.
他是磐石，他的作為完全； 他所行的無不公平， 是誠實無偽的上帝， 又公義，又正直。
5 It has done corruptly to Him; Their blemish is not of His sons, A generation perverse and crooked!
這乖僻彎曲的世代向他行事邪僻； 有這弊病就不是他的兒女。
6 Do you act thus to YHWH, O people foolish and not wise? Is He not your Father—He who bought you? He made you, and establishes you.
愚昧無知的民哪，你們這樣報答耶和華嗎？ 他豈不是你的父、將你買來的嗎？ 他是製造你、建立你的。
7 Remember days of old—Understand the years of many generations—Ask your father, and he tells you; Your elderly, and they say to you:
你當追想上古之日， 思念歷代之年； 問你的父親，他必指示你； 問你的長者，他必告訴你。
8 In the Most High causing nations to inherit, In His separating sons of Adam—He sets up the borders of the peoples By the number of the sons of God [[or sons of Israel]].
至高者將地業賜給列邦，將世人分開， 就照以色列人的數目立定萬民的疆界。
9 For YHWH’s portion [is] His people, Jacob [is] the line of His inheritance.
耶和華的分本是他的百姓； 他的產業本是雅各。
10 He finds him in a land—a desert, And in a void—a howling wilderness, He turns him around—He causes him to understand—He keeps him as the apple of His eye.
耶和華遇見他在曠野－ 荒涼野獸吼叫之地， 就環繞他，看顧他， 保護他，如同保護眼中的瞳人。
11 As an eagle wakes up its nest, Flutters over its young ones, Spreads its wings [and] takes them, Carries them on its pinions—
又如鷹攪動巢窩， 在雛鷹以上兩翅搧展， 接取雛鷹，背在兩翼之上。
12 YHWH alone leads him, And there is no strange god with him.
這樣，耶和華獨自引導他， 並無外邦神與他同在。
13 He makes him ride on high places of earth, And he eats increase of the fields, And He makes him suck honey from a rock, And oil out of the flint of a rock;
耶和華使他乘駕地的高處， 得吃田間的土產； 又使他從磐石中咂蜜， 從堅石中吸油；
14 Butter of the herd, and milk of the flock, With fat of lambs, and rams of sons of Bashan, And male goats, with fat of kidneys of wheat; And of the blood of the grape you drink wine!
也吃牛的奶油， 羊的奶，羊羔的脂油， 巴珊所出的公綿羊和山羊， 與上好的麥子， 也喝葡萄汁釀的酒。
15 And Yeshurun waxes fat, and kicks: You have been fat, you have been thick, You have been covered. And he leaves God who made him, And dishonors the Rock of his salvation.
但耶書崙漸漸肥胖，粗壯， 光潤，踢跳，奔跑， 便離棄造他的上帝， 輕看救他的磐石；
16 They make Him zealous with strangers, They make Him angry with abominations.
敬拜別神，觸動上帝的憤恨， 行可憎惡的事，惹了他的怒氣。
17 They sacrifice to the demons, not God, To gods they have not known, New ones—they came from the vicinity; Your fathers have not feared them!
所祭祀的鬼魔並非真神， 乃是素不認識的神， 是近來新興的， 是你列祖所不畏懼的。
18 You forget the Rock that begot you, And neglect God who forms you.
你輕忽生你的磐石， 忘記產你的上帝。
19 And YHWH sees and despises—For the provocation of His sons and His daughters.
耶和華看見他的兒女惹動他， 就厭惡他們，說：
20 And He says: I hide My face from them, I see what their latter end [is]; For they [are] a contrary generation, Sons in whom is no steadfastness.
我要向他們掩面， 看他們的結局如何。 他們本是極乖僻的族類， 心中無誠實的兒女。
21 They have made Me jealous by [what is] not God, They made Me angry by their vanities; And I make them jealous by [what is] not a people, I make them angry by a foolish nation.
他們以那「不算為神」的觸動我的憤恨， 以虛無的神惹了我的怒氣。 我也要以那「不成子民」的觸動他們的憤恨， 以愚昧的國民惹了他們的怒氣。
22 For a fire has been kindled in My anger, And it burns to the lowest [part] of Sheol, And consumes earth and its increase, And sets on fire [the] foundations of mountains. (Sheol h7585)
因為在我怒中有火燒起， 直燒到極深的陰間， 把地和地的出產盡都焚燒， 山的根基也燒着了。 (Sheol h7585)
23 I heap calamities on them, I consume My arrows on them.
我要將禍患堆在他們身上， 把我的箭向他們射盡。
24 Exhausted by famine, And consumed by heat and bitter destruction—I also send the teeth of beasts on them, With poison of fearful things of the dust.
他們必因飢餓消瘦， 被炎熱苦毒吞滅。 我要打發野獸用牙齒咬他們， 並土中腹行的，用毒氣害他們。
25 The sword destroys from outside, And out of the inner-chambers—terror, Both youth and virgin, Suckling with man of grey hair.
外頭有刀劍，內室有驚恐， 使人喪亡，使少男、童女、 吃奶的、白髮的，盡都滅絕。
26 I have said: I blow them away, I cause their remembrance to cease from man;
我說，我必將他們分散遠方， 使他們的名號從人間除滅。
27 If I do not fear the anger of an enemy, Lest their adversaries know—Lest they say, Our hand is high, And YHWH has not worked all this.
惟恐仇敵惹動我， 只怕敵人錯看，說：是我們手的能力， 並非耶和華所行的。
28 For they [are] a nation lost to counsels, And there is no understanding in them.
因為以色列民毫無計謀， 心中沒有聰明。
29 If only they were wise, They would deal wisely [with] this, They would attend to their latter end!
惟願他們有智慧， 能明白這事，肯思念他們的結局。
30 How does one pursue a thousand, And two cause a myriad to flee, If not that their Rock has sold them, And YHWH has shut them up?
若不是他們的磐石賣了他們， 若不是耶和華交出他們， 一人焉能追趕他們千人？ 二人焉能使萬人逃跑呢？
31 For their rock [is] not as our Rock (And our enemies [are] judges!)
據我們的仇敵自己斷定， 他們的磐石不如我們的磐石。
32 For their vine [is] of the vine of Sodom, And of the fields of Gomorrah; Their grapes [are] grapes of gall—They have bitter clusters;
他們的葡萄樹是所多瑪的葡萄樹， 蛾摩拉田園所生的； 他們的葡萄是毒葡萄， 全掛都是苦的。
33 The poison of dragons [is] their wine And the fierce venom of cobras.
他們的酒是大蛇的毒氣， 是虺蛇殘害的惡毒。
34 Is it not laid up with Me? Sealed among My treasures?
這不都是積蓄在我這裏， 封鎖在我府庫中嗎？
35 Vengeance and retribution [are] Mine, At the due time—their foot slides; For near is a day of their calamity, And things prepared for them have hastened.
他們失腳的時候，伸冤報應在我； 因他們遭災的日子近了； 那要臨在他們身上的必速速來到。
36 For YHWH judges His people, And gives comfort over His servants. For He sees the going away of power, And none is restrained and left.
耶和華見他百姓毫無能力， 無論困住的、自由的都沒有剩下， 就必為他們伸冤， 為他的僕人後悔。
37 And He has said, Where [are] their gods—The rock in which they trusted?
他必說：他們的神， 他們所投靠的磐石，
38 Who eat the fat of their sacrifices, [And] drink the wine of their drink-offering? Let them arise and help you, Let it be a hiding place for you!
就是向來吃他們祭牲的脂油， 喝他們奠祭之酒的，在哪裏呢？ 他可以興起幫助你們， 護衛你們。
39 See, now, that I [am] He, And there is no god besides Me; I put to death and I keep alive; I have struck and I heal; And there is not a deliverer from My hand,
你們如今要知道： 我，惟有我是上帝； 在我以外並無別神。 我使人死，我使人活； 我損傷，我也醫治， 並無人能從我手中救出來。
40 For I lift up My hand to the heavens, And have said, I live for all time!
我向天舉手說： 我憑我的永生起誓：
41 If I have sharpened the brightness of My sword, And My hand lays hold on judgment, I return vengeance to My adversaries, And to those hating Me—I repay!
我若磨我閃亮的刀， 手掌審判之權， 就必報復我的敵人， 報應恨我的人。
42 I make My arrows drunk with blood, And My sword devours flesh, From the blood of the pierced and captive, From the head of the leaders of the enemy.
我要使我的箭飲血飲醉， 就是被殺被擄之人的血。 我的刀要吃肉， 乃是仇敵中首領之頭的肉。
43 Sing, O nations, [with] His people, For He avenges the blood of His servants, And He turns back vengeance on His adversaries, And has pardoned His land [and] His people.”
你們外邦人當與主的百姓一同歡呼； 因他要伸他僕人流血的冤， 報應他的敵人， 潔淨他的地，救贖他的百姓。
44 And Moses comes and speaks all the words of this song in the ears of the people, he and Hoshea son of Nun;
摩西和嫩的兒子約書亞去將這歌的一切話說給百姓聽。
45 and Moses finishes to speak all these words to all Israel,
摩西向以色列眾人說完了這一切的話，
46 and says to them, “Set your heart to all the words which I am testifying against you today, that you command your sons to observe to do all the words of this law,
又說：「我今日所警教你們的，你們都要放在心上；要吩咐你們的子孫謹守遵行這律法上的話。
47 for it [is] not a vain thing for you, for it [is] your life, and by this thing you prolong days on the ground to where you are passing over the Jordan to possess it.”
因為這不是虛空、與你們無關的事，乃是你們的生命；在你們過約旦河要得為業的地上必因這事日子得以長久。」
48 And YHWH speaks to Moses on this very same day, saying,
當日，耶和華吩咐摩西說：
49 “Go up to this Mount Abarim, Mount Nebo, which [is] in the land of Moab, which [is] on the front of Jericho, and see the land of Canaan which I am giving to the sons of Israel for a possession;
「你上這亞巴琳山中的尼波山去，在摩押地與耶利哥相對，觀看我所要賜給以色列人為業的迦南地。
50 and die on the mountain to where you are going up, and be gathered to your people, as your brother Aaron has died on Mount Hor and is gathered to his people;
你必死在你所登的山上，歸你列祖去，像你哥哥亞倫死在何珥山上，歸他的列祖一樣。
51 because you trespassed against Me in the midst of the sons of Israel at the waters of Meribath-Kadesh, the wilderness of Zin, because you did not sanctify Me in the midst of the sons of Israel.
因為你們在尋的曠野，加低斯的米利巴水，在以色列人中沒有尊我為聖，得罪了我。
52 Indeed, you see the land before [you], but you do not go in there to the land which I am giving to the sons of Israel.”
我所賜給以色列人的地，你可以遠遠地觀看，卻不得進去。」
