Deuteronomy 12
1 These [are] the statutes and the judgments which you will take care! to observe in the land which he has given Yahweh [the] God of ancestors your to you to take possession of it all the days which you [are] alive on the land.
「你們存活於世的日子，在耶和華－你們列祖的上帝所賜你們為業的地上，要謹守遵行的律例典章乃是這些：
2 Certainly you will destroy! all the places where they have served there the nations whom you [are] about to dispossess them gods their on the mountains high and on the hills and under every tree luxuriant.
你們要將所趕出的國民事奉神的各地方，無論是在高山，在小山，在各青翠樹下，都毀壞了；
3 And you will break down altars their and you will shatter sacred pillars their and Asherah poles their you will burn! with fire and [the] images of gods their you will cut down! and you will destroy name their from the place that.
也要拆毀他們的祭壇，打碎他們的柱像，用火焚燒他們的木偶，砍下他們雕刻的神像，並將其名從那地方除滅。
4 Not you will do! thus to Yahweh God your.
你們不可照他們那樣事奉耶和華－你們的上帝。
5 That except to the place where he will choose Yahweh God your from all tribes your to put name his there to dwelling its you will resort and you will go there towards.
但耶和華－你們的上帝從你們各支派中選擇何處為立他名的居所，你們就當往那裏去求問，
6 And you will bring there towards burnt offerings your and sacrifices your and tithes your and [the] contribution of hand your and votive offerings your and freewill offerings your and [the] firstborn of herd[s] your and flock[s] your.
將你們的燔祭、平安祭、十分取一之物，和手中的舉祭，並還願祭、甘心祭，以及牛群羊群中頭生的，都奉到那裏。
7 And you will eat there before Yahweh God your and you will rejoice in every undertaking of hand your you and households your which he has blessed you Yahweh God your.
在那裏，耶和華－你們上帝的面前，你們和你們的家屬都可以吃，並且因你手所辦的一切事蒙耶和華－你的上帝賜福，就都歡樂。
8 Not you must do! according to all that we [are] doing here this day everyone all the right in own eyes his.
我們今日在這裏所行的是各人行自己眼中看為正的事，你們將來不可這樣行；
9 For not you have come until now to the resting place and to the inheritance which Yahweh God your [is] about to give to you.
因為你們還沒有到耶和華－你上帝所賜你的安息地，所給你的產業。
10 And you will pass over the Jordan and you will dwell in the land which Yahweh God your [is] giving as an inheritance you and he will give rest to you from all enemies your from round about and you will dwell security.
但你們過了約旦河，得以住在耶和華－你們上帝使你們承受為業之地，又使你們太平，不被四圍的一切仇敵擾亂，安然居住。
11 And it will be the place which he will choose Yahweh God your it to cause to dwell name his there there towards you will bring all that I [am] commanding you burnt offerings your and sacrifices your tithes your and [the] contribution of hand your and all [the] choicest of votive offerings your which you will vow to Yahweh.
那時要將我所吩咐你們的燔祭、平安祭、十分取一之物，和手中的舉祭，並向耶和華許願獻的一切美祭，都奉到耶和華－你們上帝所選擇要立為他名的居所。
12 And you will rejoice before Yahweh God your you and sons your and daughters your and [male] servants your and female servants your and the Levite who [is] in gates your for not [belongs] to him a portion and an inheritance with you.
你們和兒女、僕婢，並住在你們城裏無分無業的利未人，都要在耶和華－你們的上帝面前歡樂。
13 Take heed to yourself lest you should offer up burnt offerings your in every place which you will see.
你要謹慎，不可在你所看中的各處獻燔祭。
14 That except in the place which he will choose Yahweh in one of tribes your there you will offer up burnt offerings your and there you will do all that I [am] commanding you.
惟獨耶和華從你那一支派中所選擇的地方，你就要在那裏獻燔祭，行我一切所吩咐你的。
15 Only in all [the] desire of self your you will slaughter - and you will eat meat according to [the] blessing of Yahweh God your which he has given to you in all gates your the unclean and the clean he will eat it like gazelle and like deer.
「然而，在你各城裏都可以照耶和華－你上帝所賜你的福分，隨心所欲宰牲吃肉；無論潔淨人不潔淨人都可以吃，就如吃羚羊與鹿一般。
16 Only the blood not you must eat on the ground you will pour out it like water.
只是不可吃血，要倒在地上，如同倒水一樣。
17 Not you will be able to eat in gates your [the] tithe of grain your and new wine your and fresh oil your and [the] firstborn of herd your and flock your and all votive offerings your which you will vow and freewill offerings your and [the] contribution of hand your.
你的五穀、新酒，和油的十分之一，或是牛群羊群中頭生的，或是你許願獻的，甘心獻的，或是手中的舉祭，都不可在你城裏吃。
18 That except before Yahweh God your you will eat it in the place which he will choose Yahweh God your it you and son your and daughter your and [male] servant your and female servant your and the Levite who [is] in gates your and you will rejoice before Yahweh God your in every undertaking of hand your.
但要在耶和華－你的上帝面前吃，在耶和華－你上帝所要選擇的地方，你和兒女、僕婢，並住在你城裏的利未人，都可以吃；也要因你手所辦的，在耶和華－你上帝面前歡樂。
19 Take heed to yourself lest you should neglect the Levite all days your on land your.
你要謹慎，在你所住的地方永不可丟棄利未人。
20 If he will enlarge Yahweh God your territory your just as he spoke to you and you will say I want to eat meat for it will desire appetite your to eat meat in all [the] desire appetite your you will eat meat.
「耶和華－你的上帝照他所應許擴張你境界的時候，你心裏想要吃肉，說：『我要吃肉』，就可以隨心所欲地吃肉。
21 If it will be [too] far for you the place where he will choose Yahweh God your to put name his there and you will slaughter some of herd your and some of flock your which he has given Yahweh to you just as I commanded you and you will eat in gates your in all [the] desire of self your.
耶和華－你上帝所選擇要立他名的地方若離你太遠，就可以照我所吩咐的，將耶和華賜給你的牛羊取些宰了，可以隨心所欲在你城裏吃。
22 Surely just as it is eaten the gazelle and the deer so you will eat it the unclean and the clean alike he will eat it.
你吃那肉，要像吃羚羊與鹿一般；無論潔淨人不潔淨人都可以吃。
23 Only be strong to not to eat the blood for the blood it [is] the life and not you must eat the life with the meat.
只是你要心意堅定，不可吃血，因為血是生命；不可將血與肉同吃。
24 Not you must eat it on the ground you will pour out it like water.
不可吃血，要倒在地上，如同倒水一樣。
25 Not you must eat it so that it may go well for you and for children your after you for you will do the right in [the] eyes of Yahweh.
不可吃血。這樣，你行耶和華眼中看為正的事，你和你的子孫就可以得福。
26 Only holy things your which they will belong to you and votive offerings your you will take and you will go to the place which he will choose Yahweh.
只是你分別為聖的物和你的還願祭要奉到耶和華所選擇的地方去。
27 And you will make burnt offerings your the flesh and the blood on [the] altar of Yahweh God your and [the] blood of sacrifices your it will be poured out on [the] altar of Yahweh God your and the flesh you will eat.
你的燔祭，連肉帶血，都要獻在耶和華－你上帝的壇上。平安祭的血要倒在耶和華－你上帝的壇上；平安祭的肉，你自己可以吃。
28 Take care and you will hear all the words these which I [am] commanding you so that it may go well for you and for children your after you until perpetuity for you will do the good [thing] and the right in [the] eyes of Yahweh God your.
你要謹守聽從我所吩咐的一切話，行耶和華－你上帝眼中看為善，看為正的事。這樣，你和你的子孫就可以永遠享福。」
29 If he will cut off Yahweh God your the nations where you [are] about to go there towards by dispossessing them from before you and you will dispossess them and you will dwell in land their.
「耶和華－你上帝將你要去趕出的國民從你面前剪除，你得了他們的地居住，
30 Take heed to yourself lest you should be ensnared after them after have been destroyed they from before you and lest you should enquire of gods their saying how? do they serve the nations these gods their so I may do thus also I.
那時就要謹慎，不可在他們除滅之後隨從他們的惡俗，陷入網羅，也不可訪問他們的神說：『這些國民怎樣事奉他們的神，我也要照樣行。』
31 Not you will do thus to Yahweh God your for every abomination of Yahweh which he hates they have done to gods their for also sons their and daughters their they burn with fire to gods their.
你不可向耶和華－你的上帝這樣行，因為他們向他們的神行了耶和華所憎嫌所恨惡的一切事，甚至將自己的兒女用火焚燒，獻與他們的神。
32 Every word which I [am] commanding you it you will take care to do not you must add to it and not you must diminish from it.
凡我所吩咐的，你們都要謹守遵行，不可加添，也不可刪減。
