Exodus 23
1 Thou shalt not raise a false report: put not thy hand with the wicked to be an unrighteous witness.
「不可隨夥佈散謠言；不可與惡人連手妄作見證。
2 Thou shalt not follow a multitude to [do] evil; neither shalt thou speak in a cause to decline after many to wrest [judgment]:
不可隨眾行惡；不可在爭訟的事上隨眾偏行，作見證屈枉正直；
3 Neither shalt thou countenance a poor man in his cause.
也不可在爭訟的事上偏護窮人。
4 If thou shalt meet thy enemy's ox or his ass going astray, thou shalt surely bring it back to him again.
「若遇見你仇敵的牛或驢失迷了路，總要牽回來交給他。
5 If thou shalt see the ass of him that hateth thee lying under his burden, and wouldest forbear to help him, thou shalt surely help with him.
若看見恨你人的驢壓臥在重馱之下，不可走開，務要和驢主一同抬開重馱。
6 Thou shalt not wrest the judgment of thy poor in his cause.
「不可在窮人爭訟的事上屈枉正直。
7 Keep thee far from a false matter; and the innocent and righteous slay thou not: for I will not justify the wicked.
當遠離虛假的事。不可殺無辜和有義的人，因我必不以惡人為義。
8 And thou shalt take no gift: for the gift blindeth the wise, and perverteth the words of the righteous.
不可受賄賂；因為賄賂能叫明眼人變瞎了，又能顛倒義人的話。
9 Also thou shalt not oppress a stranger; for ye know the heart of a stranger, seeing ye were strangers in the land of Egypt.
「不可欺壓寄居的；因為你們在埃及地作過寄居的，知道寄居的心。」
10 And six years thou shalt sow thy land, and shalt gather in the fruits thereof:
「六年你要耕種田地，收藏土產，
11 But the seventh [year] thou shalt let it rest and lie still; that the poor of thy people may eat: and what they leave, the beasts of the field shall eat. In like manner thou shalt deal with thy vineyard, [and] with thy olive-yard.
只是第七年要叫地歇息，不耕不種，使你民中的窮人有吃的；他們所剩下的，野獸可以吃。你的葡萄園和橄欖園也要照樣辦理。
12 Six days thou shalt do thy work, and on the seventh day thou shalt rest: that thy ox and thy ass may rest, and the son of thy handmaid, and the stranger, may be refreshed.
「六日你要做工，第七日要安息，使牛、驢可以歇息，並使你婢女的兒子和寄居的都可以舒暢。
13 And in all [things] that I have said to you be circumspect: and make no mention of the names of other gods, neither let it be heard from thy mouth.
「凡我對你們說的話，你們要謹守。別神的名，你不可提，也不可從你口中傳說。」
14 Three times thou shalt keep a feast to me in the year.
「一年三次，你要向我守節。
15 Thou shalt keep the feast of unleavened bread: (thou shalt eat unleavened bread seven days, as I commanded thee, in the time appointed of the month Abib; for in it thou camest out from Egypt: and none shall appear before me empty: )
你要守除酵節，照我所吩咐你的，在亞筆月內所定的日期，吃無酵餅七天。誰也不可空手朝見我，因為你是這月出了埃及。
16 And the feast of harvest, the first-fruits of thy labors, which thou hast sown in the field: and the feast of in-gathering, [which] is in the end of the year, when thou hast gathered in thy labors out of the field.
又要守收割節，所收的是你田間所種、勞碌得來初熟之物。並在年底收藏，要守收藏節。
17 Three times in the year all thy males shall appear before the LORD God.
一切的男丁要一年三次朝見主耶和華。
18 Thou shalt not offer the blood of my sacrifice with leavened bread; neither shall the fat of my sacrifice remain until the morning.
「不可將我祭牲的血和有酵的餅一同獻上；也不可將我節上祭牲的脂油留到早晨。
19 The first of the first-fruits of thy land thou shalt bring into the house of the LORD thy God. Thou shalt not seethe a kid in his mother's milk.
「地裏首先初熟之物要送到耶和華－你上帝的殿。 「不可用山羊羔母的奶煮山羊羔。」
20 Behold, I send an Angel before thee, to keep thee in the way, and to bring thee into the place which I have prepared.
「看哪，我差遣使者在你前面，在路上保護你，領你到我所預備的地方去。
21 Beware of him, and obey his voice, provoke him not; for he will not pardon your transgressions: for my name [is] in him.
他是奉我名來的；你們要在他面前謹慎，聽從他的話，不可惹 他，因為他必不赦免你們的過犯。
22 But if thou shalt indeed obey his voice, and do all that I speak; then I will be an enemy to thy enemies, and an adversary to thy adversaries.
「你若實在聽從他的話，照着我一切所說的去行，我就向你的仇敵作仇敵，向你的敵人作敵人。
23 For my Angel shall go before thee, and bring thee in to the Amorites, and the Hittites, and the Perizzites, and the Canaanites, [and] the Hivites, and the Jebusites; and I will cut them off.
「我的使者要在你前面行，領你到亞摩利人、赫人、比利洗人、迦南人、希未人、耶布斯人那裏去，我必將他們剪除。

26 There shall nothing cast their young, nor be barren, in thy land: I will complete the number of thy days.
你境內必沒有墜胎的，不生產的。我要使你滿了你年日的數目。
27 I will send my fear before thee, and will destroy all the people to whom thou shalt come, and I will make all thy enemies turn their backs to thee.
凡你所到的地方，我要使那裏的眾民在你面前驚駭，擾亂，又要使你一切仇敵轉背逃跑。
28 And I will send hornets before thee, which shall drive out the Hivite, the Canaanite, and the Hittite from before thee.
我要打發黃蜂飛在你前面，把希未人、迦南人、赫人攆出去。
29 I will not drive them out from before thee in one year; lest the land should become desolate, and the beast of the field should multiply against thee.
我不在一年之內將他們從你面前攆出去，恐怕地成為荒涼，野地的獸多起來害你。
30 By little and little I will drive them out from before thee, until thou shalt be increased and inherit the land.
我要漸漸地將他們從你面前攆出去，等到你的人數加多，承受那地為業。
31 And I will set thy bounds from the Red sea even to the sea of the Philistines, and from the desert to the river: for I will deliver the inhabitants of the land into your hand; and thou shalt drive them out before thee.

他們不可住在你的地上，恐怕他們使你得罪我。你若事奉他們的神，這必成為你的網羅。」
