< Deuteronomy 5 >
1 And Moses called all Israel, and said to them, Hear, O Israel, the statutes and judgments which I speak in your ears this day, that ye may learn them, and keep, and do them.
摩西将以色列众人召了来,对他们说:“以色列人哪,我今日晓谕你们的律例典章,你们要听,可以学习,谨守遵行。
2 The LORD our God made a covenant with us in Horeb.
耶和华—我们的 神在何烈山与我们立约。
3 The LORD made not this covenant with our fathers, but with us, [even] us, who [are] all of us here alive this day.
这约不是与我们列祖立的,乃是与我们今日在这里存活之人立的。
4 The LORD talked with you face to face on the mount, from the midst of the fire,
耶和华在山上,从火中,面对面与你们说话—
5 (I stood between the LORD and you at that time, to show you the word of the LORD: for ye were afraid by reason of the fire, and went not up upon the mount; ) saying,
那时我站在耶和华和你们中间,要将耶和华的话传给你们;因为你们惧怕那火,没有上山—说:
6 I [am] the LORD thy God, who brought thee out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage.
“‘我是耶和华—你的 神,曾将你从埃及地为奴之家领出来。
7 Thou shalt have no other gods before me.
“‘除了我以外,你不可有别的神。
8 Thou shalt not make for thee [any] graven image, [or] any likeness [of any thing] that [is] in heaven above, or that [is] on the earth beneath, or that [is] in the waters beneath the earth:
“‘不可为自己雕刻偶像,也不可做什么形象,仿佛上天、下地和地底下、水中的百物。
9 Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God [am] a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children to the third and fourth [generation] of them that hate me,
不可跪拜那些像,也不可事奉它,因为我耶和华—你的 神是忌邪的 神。恨我的,我必追讨他的罪,自父及子,直到三、四代;
10 And showing mercy to thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments.
爱我、守我诫命的,我必向他们发慈爱,直到千代。
11 Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain: for the LORD will not hold [him] guiltless that taketh his name in vain.
“‘不可妄称耶和华—你 神的名;因为妄称耶和华名的,耶和华必不以他为无罪。
12 Keep the sabbath-day to sanctify it, as the LORD thy God hath commanded thee.
“‘当照耶和华—你 神所吩咐的守安息日为圣日。
13 Six days thou shalt labor, and do all thy work:
六日要劳碌做你一切的工,
14 But the seventh day [is] the sabbath of the LORD thy God: [in it] thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, nor thy man-servant, nor thy maid-servant, nor thy ox, nor thy ass, nor any of thy cattle, nor thy stranger that [is] within thy gates; that thy man-servant and thy maid-servant may rest as well as thou.
但第七日是向耶和华—你 神当守的安息日。这一日,你和你的儿女、仆婢、牛、驴、牲畜,并在你城里寄居的客旅,无论何工都不可做,使你的仆婢可以和你一样安息。
15 And remember that thou wast a servant in the land of Egypt, and [that] the LORD thy God brought thee out thence with a mighty hand and by an out-stretched arm: therefore the LORD thy God commanded thee to keep the sabbath-day.
你也要记念你在埃及地作过奴仆;耶和华—你 神用大能的手和伸出来的膀臂将你从那里领出来。因此,耶和华—你的 神吩咐你守安息日。
16 Honor thy father and thy mother, as the LORD thy God hath commanded thee; that thy days may be prolonged, and that it may be well with thee, in the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee.
“‘当照耶和华—你 神所吩咐的孝敬父母,使你得福,并使你的日子在耶和华—你 神所赐你的地上得以长久。
18 Neither shalt thou commit adultery.
“‘不可奸淫。
19 Neither shalt thou steal.
“‘不可偷盗。
20 Neither shalt thou bear false witness against thy neighbor.
“‘不可作假见证陷害人。
21 Neither shalt thou desire thy neighbor's wife, neither shalt thou covet thy neighbor's house, his field, or his man-servant, or his maid-servant, his ox, or his ass, or any [thing] that [is] thy neighbor's.
“‘不可贪恋人的妻子;也不可贪图人的房屋、田地、仆婢、牛、驴,并他一切所有的。’
22 These words the LORD spoke to all your assembly on the mount from the midst of the fire, of the cloud, and of the thick darkness, with a great voice: and he added no more. And he wrote them in two tables of stone, and delivered them to me.
“这些话是耶和华在山上,从火中、云中、幽暗中,大声晓谕你们全会众的;此外并没有添别的话。他就把这话写在两块石版上,交给我了。”
23 And it came to pass, when ye heard the voice from the midst of the darkness, (for the mountain did burn with fire, ) that ye came near to me, [even] all the heads of your tribes, and your elders;
“那时,火焰烧山,你们听见从黑暗中出来的声音;你们支派中所有的首领和长老都来就近我,
24 And ye said, Behold, the LORD our God hath shown us his glory and his greatness, and we have heard his voice from the midst of the fire: we have seen this day that God doth talk with man, and he liveth.
说:‘看哪,耶和华—我们 神将他的荣光和他的大能显给我们看,我们又听见他的声音从火中出来。今日我们得见 神与人说话,人还存活。
25 Now therefore why should we die? for this great fire will consume us: if we hear the voice of the LORD our God any more, then we shall die.
现在这大火将要烧灭我们,我们何必冒死呢?若再听见耶和华—我们 神的声音就必死亡。
26 For who [is there of] all flesh that hath heard the voice of the living God speaking out of the midst of the fire, as we [have], and lived?
凡属血气的,曾有何人听见永生 神的声音从火中出来,像我们听见还能存活呢?
27 Go thou near, and hear all that the LORD our God shall say; and speak thou to us all that the LORD our God shall speak to thee; and we will hear [it], and do [it].
求你近前去,听耶和华—我们 神所要说的一切话,将他对你说的话都传给我们,我们就听从遵行。’
28 And the LORD heard the voice of your words, when ye spoke to me; and the LORD said to me, I have heard the voice of the words of this people, which they have spoke to thee: they have well said all that they have spoken.
“你们对我说的话,耶和华都听见了。耶和华对我说:‘这百姓的话,我听见了;他们所说的都是。
29 O that there were such a heart in them, that they would fear me, and keep all my commandments always, that it might be well with them, and with their children for ever!
惟愿他们存这样的心敬畏我,常遵守我的一切诫命,使他们和他们的子孙永远得福。
30 Go, say to them, Return to your tents again.
你去对他们说:你们回帐棚去吧!
31 But as for thee, stand thou here by me, and I will speak to thee all the commandments, and the statutes, and the judgments, which thou shalt teach them, that they may do [them] in the land which I give them to possess it.
至于你,可以站在我这里,我要将一切诫命、律例、典章传给你;你要教训他们,使他们在我赐他们为业的地上遵行。’
32 Ye shall observe to do therefore as the LORD your God hath commanded you: ye shall not turn aside to the right hand or to the left.
所以,你们要照耶和华—你们 神所吩咐的谨守遵行,不可偏离左右。
33 Ye shall walk in all the ways which the LORD your God hath commanded you, that ye may live, and [that it may be] well with you, and [that] ye may prolong [your] days in the land which ye shall possess.
耶和华—你们 神所吩咐你们行的,你们都要去行,使你们可以存活得福,并使你们的日子在所要承受的地上得以长久。”
