Deuteronomy 21
1 If someone is found killed in the land that Yahweh your God is giving you to possess, lying in the field, and it is not known who has attacked him;
“在耶和华—你 神所赐你为业的地上，若遇见被杀的人倒在田野，不知道是谁杀的，
2 then your elders and your judges must go out, and they must measure to the cities that are around him who has been killed.
长老和审判官就要出去，从被杀的人那里量起，直量到四围的城邑，
3 Then the elders of the town nearest to the dead man's body must take a heifer from the herd, one that has never been put to work, and that has not borne the yoke.
看哪城离被杀的人最近，那城的长老就要从牛群中取一只未曾耕地、未曾负轭的母牛犊，
4 Then they must lead the heifer down to a valley with running water, a valley that has been neither plowed nor sown, and there in the valley they must break the heifer's neck.
把母牛犊牵到流水、未曾耕种的山谷去，在谷中打折母牛犊的颈项。
5 The priests, descendants of Levi, must come forward, for Yahweh your God has chosen them to serve him and give blessing in the name of Yahweh and to decide every case of dispute and assault by their word.
祭司利未的子孙要近前来；因为耶和华—你的 神拣选了他们事奉他，奉耶和华的名祝福，所有争讼殴打的事都要凭他们判断。
6 All the elders of the city that is the nearest to the killed man must wash their hands over the heifer whose neck was broken in the valley;
那城的众长老，就是离被杀的人最近的，要在那山谷中，在所打折颈项的母牛犊以上洗手，
7 and they must answer to the case and say, 'Our hands have not shed this blood, neither have our eyes seen it.
祷告说：‘我们的手未曾流这人的血；我们的眼也未曾看见这事。
8 Forgive, Yahweh, your people Israel, whom you have redeemed, and do not put guilt for innocent bloodshed in the midst of your people Israel.' Then the bloodshed will be forgiven them.
耶和华啊，求你赦免你所救赎的以色列民，不要使流无辜血的罪归在你的百姓以色列中间。’这样，流血的罪必得赦免。
9 In this way you will put away the innocent blood from your midst, when you do what is right in the eyes of Yahweh.
你行耶和华眼中看为正的事，就可以从你们中间除掉流无辜血的罪。”
10 When you go out to do battle against your enemies and Yahweh your God gives you victory and puts them under your control, and you take them away as captives,
“你出去与仇敌争战的时候，耶和华—你的 神将他们交在你手中，你就掳了他们去。
11 if you see among the captives a beautiful woman, and you have a desire for her and wish to take her for yourself as a wife,
若在被掳的人中见有美貌的女子，恋慕她，要娶她为妻，
12 then you will bring her home to your house; she will shave her head and cut her nails.
就可以领她到你家里去；她便要剃头发，修指甲，
13 Then she will take off the clothes she was wearing when she was taken captive and she will remain in your house and mourn for her father and her mother a full month. After that you may sleep with her and be her husband, and she will be your wife.
脱去被掳时所穿的衣服，住在你家里哀哭父母一个整月，然后可以与她同房。你作她的丈夫，她作你的妻子。
14 But if you take no delight in her, then you may let her go where she wishes. But you must not sell her at all for money, and you must not treat her like a slave, because you have humiliated her.
后来你若不喜悦她，就要由她随意出去，决不可为钱卖她，也不可当婢女待她，因为你玷污了她。”
15 If a man has two wives and one is loved and the other is hated, and they have both borne him children—both the beloved wife and the hated wife—if the firstborn son is of her that is hated,
“人若有二妻，一为所爱，一为所恶，所爱的、所恶的都给他生了儿子，但长子是所恶之妻生的。
16 then on the day that the man causes his sons to inherit what he possesses, he may not make the son of the beloved wife the firstborn before the son of the hated wife, the son who is actually the firstborn.
到了把产业分给儿子承受的时候，不可将所爱之妻生的儿子立为长子，在所恶之妻生的儿子以上，
17 Instead, he must acknowledge the firstborn, the son of the hated wife, by giving him a double portion of all that he possesses; for that son is the beginning of his strength; the right of the firstborn belongs to him.
却要认所恶之妻生的儿子为长子，将产业多加一分给他；因这儿子是他力量强壮的时候生的，长子的名分本当归他。”
18 If a man has a stubborn and rebellious son who will not obey the voice of his father or the voice of his mother, and who, even though they correct him, will not listen to them;
“人若有顽梗悖逆的儿子，不听从父母的话，他们虽惩治他，他仍不听从，
19 then his father and his mother must lay hold on him and bring him out to the elders of his city and to the gate of his city.
父母就要抓住他，将他带到本地的城门、本城的长老那里，
20 They must say to the elders of his city, 'This son of ours is stubborn and rebellious; he will not obey our voice; he is a glutton and a drunkard.'
对长老说：‘我们这儿子顽梗悖逆，不听从我们的话，是贪食好酒的人。’
21 Then all the men of his city must stone him to death with stones; and you will remove the evil from among you. All Israel will hear of it and fear.
本城的众人就要用石头将他打死。这样，就把那恶从你们中间除掉，以色列众人都要听见害怕。”
22 If a man has committed a sin worthy of death and he is put to death, and you hang him on a tree,
“人若犯该死的罪，被治死了，你将他挂在木头上，
23 then his body must not remain all night on the tree. Instead, you must surely bury him the same day; for whoever is hanged is cursed by God. Obey this commandment so that you do not defile the land that Yahweh your God is giving you as an inheritance.
他的尸首不可留在木头上过夜，必要当日将他葬埋，免得玷污了耶和华—你 神所赐你为业之地。因为被挂的人是在 神面前受咒诅的。
