< Deuteronomy 1 >

1 These [are] the words which he spoke Moses to all Israel on [the] other side of the Jordan in the wilderness in the desert plain opposite to Suph between Paran and between Tophel and Laban and Hazeroth and Di Zahab.
以下是梅瑟在約但河東岸,對全以色列所講的話。──即在穌夫對面的阿辣巴曠野中,在帕蘭與托費耳、拉班、哈則洛特和狄匝哈布之間。
2 [is] one [plus] Ten day[s] from Horeb [the] way of [the] mountain of Seir to Kadesh Barnea.
從曷勒布經色依爾山,到卡得士巴爾乃亞,共有十一天的程路。──
3 And it was in forty year in [the] one [plus] ten month on [day] one of the month he spoke Moses to [the] people of Israel according to all that he had commanded Yahweh him to them.
在第四十年十一月一日,梅瑟將上主吩咐他的一切事,全訓示了以色色列子民。
4 After had defeated he Sihon [the] king of the Amorite[s] who [was] dwelling in Heshbon and Og [the] king of Bashan who [was] dwelling in Ashtaroth in Edrei.
當時他已擊敗住在赫市朋的阿摩黎王息紅,和住在阿舍塔洛特和厄得勒的巴商王敖格。
5 On [the] other side of the Jordan in [the] land of Moab he undertook Moses he made clear the law this saying.
梅瑟在約但河東岸摩阿布地方開始宣講這法律說:「
6 Yahweh God our he spoke to us at Horeb saying [is] enough for you remaining at the mountain this.
上主,我們的天主,在曷勒布曾訓示我們說:你們在這山下住得夠久了,
7 Turn - and set out for yourselves and go [the] hill country of the Amorite[s] and to all neighbors its in the desert plain in the hill country and in the Shephelah and in the Negev and on [the] coast of the sea [the] land of the Canaanite[s] and Lebanon to the river great [the] river of Euphrates.
現在起身出發,到阿摩黎人的山地去,到那些住在阿辣巴荒野、山地、盆地、乃革布和沿海一帶地方去,到客納罕地,到黎巴嫩,直到大河,即幼發拉的河那一帶地方去。
8 See I set before you the land go and take possession of the land which he swore Yahweh to ancestors your to Abraham to Isaac and to Jacob to give to them and to offspring their after them.
看,我已將此地擺在你們面前,你們應去佔領上主誓許給你們祖先亞巴郎、依撒格、雅各伯和他們後裔的地方。」
9 And I said to you at the time that saying not I am able to alone me to bear you.
那時我對你們說過:我個人無法負擔你們。
10 Yahweh God your he has increased you and here you this day [are] like [the] stars of the heavens for multitude.
上主你們的天主使你們的人數增加,看,你們今天多得有如天上的繁星。
11 Yahweh [the] God of ancestors your may he add to you like you a thousand times and may he bless you just as he spoke to you.
惟願上主你們祖先的天主,再千百倍地增加你們的數目,照他所應許的,祝福你們!
12 How? will I bear to alone me burden your and burden your and dispute[s] your.
但我個人怎能承擔起你們的煩務、重任和訴訟的事!
13 Provide for yourselves men wise and understanding and known to tribes your so I may appoint them chiefs your.
你們各支派應推舉一些有智慧,有見識,有經驗的人,我好立他們為你們的首領。
14 And you answered me and you said [is] good the word which you have spoken to do.
你們回答我說:「你建議的事很好。」
15 And I took [the] chiefs of tribes your men wise and known and I appointed them chiefs over you leaders of thousands and leaders of hundreds and leaders of fifties and leaders of tens and officials of tribes your.
我遂選了你們各支派中有智慧有經驗的首領,立為你們的首領:即千夫長、百夫長、五十夫長、十人長,並為各支派立了監督,
16 And I commanded judges your at the time that saying hear between countrymen your and you will judge righteousness between anyone and between countryman his and between sojourner his.
同時我也吩咐你們的判官說:你們要聽斷你們兄弟間的訴訟:無論是兄弟彼此訴訟,或與方外人訴訟,都應秉公審斷。
17 Not you will pay regard to faces in judgment as the small as the great you will listen! not you will be afraid of anyone for the judgment [belongs] to God it and the matter which it will be [too] hard for you you will bring near! to me and I will hear it.
審案時不可偏袒,無論貴賤,同樣聽斷;任何人都不要怕,因為審判是天主的事。若遇有難斷的案件,該呈報給我,我來聽斷。
18 And I commanded you at the time that all the things which you will do!
同時,凡你們當做的事,我都吩咐了你們。
19 And we set out from Horeb and we walked all the wilderness great and awesome that which you saw [the] way of [the] hill country of the Amorite[s] just as he had commanded Yahweh God our us and we came to Kadesh Barnea.
我們由曷勒布起程,經過了你們所見的這整個遼闊的可怖的曠野:照上主我們的天主對我們的吩咐,我們向阿摩黎人山地進發,一直來到了卡德士巴爾乃亞。
20 And I said to you you have come to [the] hill country of the Amorite[s] which Yahweh God our [is] about to give to us.
那時我曾對你們說:你們已來到上主我們的天主即將賜給我們的阿摩黎人的山地。
21 See he sets Yahweh God your before you the land go up take possession of [it] just as he spoke Yahweh [the] God of ancestors your to you may not you be afraid and may not you be dismayed.
看上主你的天主已將這地擺在你面前,你要照上主你祖先的天主對你所許下的,去佔領這地;不要害怕,也不要膽怯。
22 And you drew near! to me all of you and you said let us send out men before us so they may spy out for us the land so they may bring back us word the way which we will go up on it and the cities which we will go to them.
你們眾人便來到我跟前說:「讓我們先派些人去,替我們偵探那地方,然後回報我們,我們當走那條路,當去那些城。」
23 And it was good in view my the thing and I took from you two [plus] ten men a man one to the tribe.
我就由你們中挑選了十二人,每支派一人;
24 And they turned and they went up the hill country towards and they came to [the] wadi of Eshcol and they spied out it.
他們起身上了山地,一直到了厄市苛耳山谷,偵探了那地。
25 And they took in hand their some of [the] fruit of the land and they brought [it] down to us and they brought back us word and they said [is] good the land which Yahweh God our [is] about to give to us.
他們帶回來那地方的一些果品,並回報我們說:「上主我們的天主即將賜給我們的地方實在好。」
26 And not you were willing to go up and you rebelled toward [the] mouth of Yahweh God your.
但你們卻不肯上去,竟違背了上主你們天主的命令,
27 And you murmured in tents your and you said in [the] hatred of Yahweh us he brought out us from [the] land of Egypt to give us in [the] hand of the Amorite[s] to destroy us.
在你們的帳幕內抱怨說:「上主因為恨我們,才將我們由埃及地領出來,將我們交在阿摩黎人手中,消滅我們。
28 Where? - [are] we going up countrymen our they have made melt heart our saying [the] people [is] great and lofty more than us [the] cities [are] large and fortified in the heavens and also [the] descendants of [the] Anakites we saw there.
我們上那裏去呢﹖我們的兄弟又說了些使我們心灰意冷的話。他們說:我們在那裏看見了一個比我們又大又高的民族,他們的城邑廣大,城牆高聳摩天;我們在那裏還看見了阿納克人的子孫。」
29 And I said to you not you must be terrified! and not you must be afraid! from them.
我遂對你們說:「不要畏懼,不要害怕。
30 Yahweh God your [is] the [one who] goes before you he he will fight for you according to all that he did with you in Egypt to eyes your.
因為上主你們的天主,走在你們面前,他必為你們作戰,正如他在埃及在你們眼前,為你們所做的一樣;
31 And in the wilderness where you saw that he carried you Yahweh God your just as he carries anyone child his on all the journey which you walked until came you to the place this.
並且在曠野裏,你也看出上主你的天主在你所走的長途中,攜帶你們,如同人攜帶自己的兒子一樣,直到你們來到這地方。
32 And in the thing this not you [were] trusting in Yahweh God your.
雖然如此,但你們仍不信賴上主你們的天主,
33 Who went before you on the journey to seek out for you a place to camp you in the fire - night to show you the way which you will go on it and in the cloud by day.
他一路原走在你們前面,替你們找安營的地方:夜間藉著火,日間藉著雲彩,指示你們應走的道路。
34 And he heard Yahweh [the] sound of words your and he was angry and he swore an oath saying.
上主一聽見你們的怨聲,就發怒起誓說:「
35 If he will see anyone among the men these the generation evil this the land good which I swore to give to ancestors your.
這個邪惡世代的人,一個也不得見我誓許要賜給你們祖先的樂土;
36 Except Caleb [the] son of Jephunneh he he will see it and to him I will give the land which he has trodden on it and to sons his because that he filled after Yahweh.
只要耶孚乃的兒子加肋布除外,他必見到此地,並且我要將他踏過的地,賜給他和他的子孫,因為他一心隨從了上主。」
37 Also with me he was angry Yahweh on account of you saying also you not you will go there.
為了你們的緣故,上主也對我發怒說:「連你也不能進入那地。
38 Joshua ([the] son of *L(abh)*) Nun who stands before you he he will go there towards him encourage for he he will give as an inheritance it Israel.
那侍候你的農的兒子若蘇厄,要進入那地;你應壯他的膽,因為他要使以色列佔領那地作為產業。
39 And little one[s] your who you said plunder he will become and children your who not they know this day good and evil they they will go there towards and to them I will give it and they they will take possession of it.
此外,你們所說要成為戰利品的幼童,至今尚不知好歹的子女,他們都要進入那地。我要將那地賜給他們作為產業。
40 And you turn yourselves and set out the wilderness towards [the] way of [the] sea of reed[s].
至於你們應轉向紅海出發,往曠野裏去。」
41 And you answered - and you said to me we have sinned to Yahweh we we will go up and we will fight according to all that he has commanded us Yahweh God our and you girded on everyone [the] weapons of war his and you regarded as easy to go up the hill country towards.
你們回答我說:「我們得罪了上主;現在我們願全照上主我們的天主的吩咐上去交戰。」你們各人遂都武裝起來,輕率地上了山地。
42 And he said Yahweh to me say to them not you must go up and not you must fight for not I [will be] in midst your and not you will be defeated before enemies your.
但上主對我說:「你告訴他們說:你們不要上去,不要作戰,因為我不在你們中間,免得被敵人擊敗。」
43 And I spoke to you and not you listened and you rebelled against [the] mouth of Yahweh and you acted presumptuously and you went up the hill country towards.
我立即告訴了你們,你們卻不聽,違背上主的命令,擅自上了山地。
44 And he came out the Amorite[s] who was dwelling in the hill country that to meet you and they pursued you just as they do bees and they scattered you in Seir to Hormah.
住在山地的阿摩黎人蜂擁而出,攻擊你們,追趕你們,由色依爾直殺到曷爾瑪。
45 And you returned and you wept before Yahweh and not he listened Yahweh to voice your and not he gave ear to you.
你們回來,在上主面前哭泣哀號,但上主未曾俯聽你們的哭聲,也未向你們側耳;
46 And you remained at Kadesh days many like the days which you remained.
你們只得長期地停留在卡德士,停留得這樣長久。
