< Deuteronomy 5 >

1 Then called Moses unto all Israel and said unto them—Hear, O Israel, the statutes and the regulations, which I am speaking in your ears to-day, —so shall ye learn them, and observe to do them.
摩西將以色列眾人召了來,對他們說:「以色列人哪,我今日曉諭你們的律例典章,你們要聽,可以學習,謹守遵行。
2 Yahweh our God, solemnised with us a covenant in Horeb:
耶和華-我們的上帝在何烈山與我們立約。
3 not with our fathers did Yahweh solemnise this covenant, —but with us, ourselves—these here to-day, all of us living.
這約不是與我們列祖立的,乃是與我們今日在這裏存活之人立的。
4 Face to face, spake Yahweh with you in the mount out of the midst of the fire,
耶和華在山上,從火中,面對面與你們說話-
5 (I was standing between Yahweh and you, at that time, to declare unto you the word of Yahweh, —for ye shrank with fear from the presence of the fire, and went not up in the mount) saying: —
那時我站在耶和華和你們中間,要將耶和華的話傳給你們;因為你們懼怕那火,沒有上山-說:
6 I, am Yahweh thy God, who have brought thee forth out of the land of Egypt out of the house of servants: —
「『我是耶和華-你的上帝,曾將你從埃及地為奴之家領出來。
7 Thou shalt not have other gods, besides me:
「『除了我以外,你不可有別的神。
8 Thou shalt not make unto thee an image, any form that is in the heavens above, or that is in the earth beneath or that is in the waters beneath the earth:
「『不可為自己雕刻偶像,也不可做甚麼形像,彷彿上天、下地和地底下、水中的百物。
9 thou shalt not bow thyself down to them nor be led to serve them, —for, I Yahweh thy God, am a jealous GOD, visiting the iniquity of fathers upon sons even unto three generations and unto four, unto them that hate me;
不可跪拜那些像,也不可事奉它,因為我耶和華-你的上帝是忌邪的上帝。恨我的,我必追討他的罪,自父及子,直到三、四代;
10 but shewing lovingkindness unto a thousand generation—unto them who love me, and keep my commandments:
愛我、守我誡命的,我必向他們發慈愛,直到千代。
11 Thou shalt not utter the name of Yahweh thy God, for falsehood, —for Yahweh will not let him go unpunished who uttereth his name for falsehood:
「『不可妄稱耶和華-你上帝的名;因為妄稱耶和華名的,耶和華必不以他為無罪。
12 Observe the sabbath day, to hallow it, —as Yahweh thy God, hath commanded thee:
「『當照耶和華-你上帝所吩咐的守安息日為聖日。
13 six days, shalt thou labour, and do all thy work;
六日要勞碌做你一切的工,
14 but, the seventh day, is a sabbath unto Yahweh thy God, —thou shalt do no work—thou nor thy son nor thy daughter nor thy servant nor thy handmaid nor thine ox nor thine ass nor any of thy cattle, nor thy sojourner who is within thy gates, that thy servant and thy handmaid may rest, as well as thou.
但第七日是向耶和華-你上帝當守的安息日。這一日,你和你的兒女、僕婢、牛、驢、牲畜,並在你城裏寄居的客旅,無論何工都不可做,使你的僕婢可以和你一樣安息。
15 So shalt thou remember that a servant, wast thou in the land of Egypt, and that Yahweh thy God brought thee forth from thence, with a firm hand, and with a stretched-out arm, —for this cause, hath Yahweh thy God commanded thee to keep the sabbath day:
你也要記念你在埃及地作過奴僕;耶和華-你上帝用大能的手和伸出來的膀臂將你從那裏領出來。因此,耶和華-你的上帝吩咐你守安息日。
16 Honour thy father and thy mother, as Yahweh thy God hath commanded thee, —that thy days may be prolonged and that it may go well with thee, upon the soil which Yahweh thy God is about to give unto thee:
「『當照耶和華-你上帝所吩咐的孝敬父母,使你得福,並使你的日子在耶和華-你上帝所賜你的地上得以長久。
17 Thou shalt not commit murder:
「『不可殺人。
18 Neither shalt thou commit adultery:
「『不可姦淫。
19 Neither shalt thou steal:
「『不可偷盜。
20 Neither shalt thou testify against thy neighbour with a witness of falsehood:
「『不可作假見證陷害人。
21 Neither shalt thou covet thy neighbour’s wife, —neither shalt thou desire thy neighbour’s house, his field, or his servant, or his handmaid, his ox or his ass, or anything that is thy neighbour’s.
「『不可貪戀人的妻子;也不可貪圖人的房屋、田地、僕婢、牛、驢,並他一切所有的。』
22 These words, spake Yahweh unto all the convocation of you in the mount out of the midst of the fire the cloud and the thick gloom, a loud voice, and added not, —and he wrote them upon two tables of stone, and gave them unto me.
「這些話是耶和華在山上,從火中、雲中、幽暗中,大聲曉諭你們全會眾的;此外並沒有添別的話。他就把這話寫在兩塊石版上,交給我了。」
23 And it came to pass, when ye heard the voice out of the midst of the darkness, the mountain also burning with fire, then drew ye near unto me, even all the heads of your tribes and your elders,
「那時,火焰燒山,你們聽見從黑暗中出來的聲音;你們支派中所有的首領和長老都來就近我,
24 and ye said—Lo! Yahweh our God hath let us see his glory and his greatness, his voice also, have we heard out of the midst of the fire, —this day, have we seen, that God may speak with man who yet may live.
說:『看哪,耶和華-我們上帝將他的榮光和他的大能顯給我們看,我們又聽見他的聲音從火中出來。今日我們得見上帝與人說話,人還存活。
25 Now, therefore why should we die? for this great fire, will consume, us, —if we ourselves, hear the voice of Yahweh our God any more, we shall die.
現在這大火將要燒滅我們,我們何必冒死呢?若再聽見耶和華-我們上帝的聲音就必死亡。
26 For who [is there] of all flesh, that ever heard the voice of a Living God speaking out of the midst of fire as we, and yet lived?
凡屬血氣的,曾有何人聽見永生上帝的聲音從火中出來,像我們聽見還能存活呢?
27 Go, thou, near, and hear, all that Yahweh our God shall say, —so shalt thou speak unto us, all that Yahweh our God shall speak unto thee and we will hear and do.
求你近前去,聽耶和華-我們上帝所要說的一切話,將他對你說的話都傳給我們,我們就聽從遵行。』
28 And Yahweh heard the voice of your words, when ye spake unto me, —and Yahweh said unto me—I have heard the voice of the words of this people which they have spoken unto thee, they have well said all which they have spoken.
「你們對我說的話,耶和華都聽見了。耶和華對我說:『這百姓的話,我聽見了;他們所說的都是。
29 Oh that this their heart might remain in them to revere me, and to keep all my commandments all the days, —that it might be well with them and with their sons unto times age-abiding.
惟願他們存這樣的心敬畏我,常遵守我的一切誡命,使他們和他們的子孫永遠得福。
30 Go, say unto them, —Return ye to your tents.
你去對他們說:你們回帳棚去吧!
31 Thou, therefore here stand with me and let me speak unto thee—all the commandment and the statutes and the regulations which thou shalt teach them, —that they may do [them] in the land which I am giving unto them to possess it.
至於你,可以站在我這裏,我要將一切誡命、律例、典章傳給你;你要教訓他們,使他們在我賜他們為業的地上遵行。』
32 So then ye must observe to do, as Yahweh your God hath commanded you, —ye must not turn aside to the right hand or to the left.
所以,你們要照耶和華-你們上帝所吩咐的謹守遵行,不可偏離左右。
33 In all the way which Yahweh your God hath commanded you, must ye walk, —that ye may live and it be well with you, and that ye may prolong your days in the land, which ye shall possess.
耶和華-你們上帝所吩咐你們行的,你們都要去行,使你們可以存活得福,並使你們的日子在所要承受的地上得以長久。」
