Deuteronomy 4
1 And now, thou Israel, here the comaundementis and domes whiche Y teche thee, that thou do tho, and lyue, and that thow entre and welde the lond which the Lord God of youre fadris schal yyue to you.
“以色列人哪，现在我所教训你们的律例典章，你们要听从遵行，好叫你们存活，得以进入耶和华—你们列祖之 神所赐给你们的地，承受为业。
2 Ye schulen not adde to the word which Y speke to you, nether ye schulen take awei `fro it; kepe ye the comaundementis of youre Lord God, which Y comaunde to you.
所吩咐你们的话，你们不可加添，也不可删减，好叫你们遵守我所吩咐的，就是耶和华—你们 神的命令。
3 Youre iyen sien alle thingis whiche the Lord dide ayens Belphegor; how he alto brak alle the worschiperis `of hym fro the myddis of you.
耶和华因巴力·毗珥的事所行的，你们亲眼看见了。凡随从巴力·毗珥的人，耶和华—你们的 神都从你们中间除灭了。
4 Forsothe ye that cleuen to youre Lord God lyuen alle `til in to present day.
惟有你们专靠耶和华—你们 神的人，今日全都存活。
5 Ye witen that Y tauyte you the comaundementis and riytfulnessis, as my Lord God comaundide to me; so ye schulen do tho in the lond whiche ye schulen welde,
我照着耶和华—我 神所吩咐的将律例典章教训你们，使你们在所要进去得为业的地上遵行。
6 and ye schulen kepe, and schulen fille in werk. For this is youre wisdom and vndurstondyng bifor puplis, that alle men here these comaundementis, and seie, Lo! a wise puple and vnderstondynge! a greet folk!
所以你们要谨守遵行；这就是你们在万民眼前的智慧、聪明。他们听见这一切律例，必说：‘这大国的人真是有智慧，有聪明！’
7 Noon other nacioun is so greet, `not in noumbre ether in bodili quantite, but in dignite, that hath Goddis neiyynge to it silf, as oure God is redi to alle oure bisechyngis.
哪一大国的人有神与他们相近，像耶和华—我们的 神、在我们求告他的时候与我们相近呢？
8 For whi what other folk is so noble, that it hath cerymonyes and iust domes, and al the lawe which Y schal `sette forth to dai bifor youre iyen?
又哪一大国有这样公义的律例典章、像我今日在你们面前所陈明的这一切律法呢？
9 Therfor kepe thi silf, and thi soule bisili; foryete thou not the wordis whiche thin iyen sien, and falle tho not doun fro thin herte, in alle the daies of thi lijf. Thou schalt teche tho thi sones and thi sones sones.
“你只要谨慎，殷勤保守你的心灵，免得忘记你亲眼所看见的事，又免得你一生、这事离开你的心；总要传给你的子子孙孙。
10 Telle thou the day in which thou stodist bifor thi Lord God in Oreb, whanne the Lord spak to me, and seide, Gadere thou the puple to me, that it here my wordis, and lerne for to drede me in al tyme in which it lyueth in erthe, and teche hise sones.
你在何烈山站在耶和华—你 神面前的那日，耶和华对我说：‘你为我招聚百姓，我要叫他们听见我的话，使他们存活在世的日子，可以学习敬畏我，又可以教训儿女这样行。’
11 And ye neiyiden to the `roote of the hille, that brente `til to heuene; and derknessis, and cloude, and myist weren therynne.
那时你们近前来，站在山下；山上有火焰冲天，并有昏黑、密云、幽暗。
12 And the Lord spak to you fro the myddis of fier; ye herden the vois of hise wordis, and outirli ye sien no fourme.
耶和华从火焰中对你们说话，你们只听见声音，却没有看见形象。
13 And he schewide to you his couenaunt, which he comaundide, that ye schulden do, and `he schewide ten wordis, whiche he wroot in two tablis of stoon.
他将所吩咐你们当守的约指示你们，就是十条诫，并将这诫写在两块石版上。
14 And he comaundide to me in that tyme, that Y schulde teche you cerymonyes and domes, whiche ye owen to do in the lond whiche ye schulen welde.
那时耶和华又吩咐我将律例典章教训你们，使你们在所要过去得为业的地上遵行。”
15 Therfor kepe ye bisili youre soulis; ye sien not ony licnesse in the dai in which the Lord spak to you in Oreb, fro the myddis of the fier;
“所以，你们要分外谨慎；因为耶和华在何烈山、从火中对你们说话的那日，你们没有看见什么形象。
16 lest perauenture ye be disseyued and make to you a grauun licnesse, ether an ymage of male, ether of female;
惟恐你们败坏自己，雕刻偶像，仿佛什么男像女像，
17 a licnesse of alle beestis that ben on erthe, ether of bridis fleynge vndur heuene,
或地上走兽的像，或空中飞鸟的像，
18 and of crepynge beestis that ben moued in erthe, ether of fischis that dwellen vndur the erthe in watris; lest perauenture,
或地上爬物的像，或地底下水中鱼的像。
19 whanne thin iyen ben reisid to heuene, thou se the sonne, and moone, and alle the sterris of heuene, and be disseyued bi errour, and worschipe tho, `bi outermer reuerence, and onour, `bi ynner reuerence, `tho thingis whiche thi Lord God made of nouyt, in to seruyce to alle folkis that ben vndur heuene.
又恐怕你向天举目观看，见耶和华—你的 神为天下万民所摆列的日月星，就是天上的万象，自己便被勾引敬拜事奉它。
20 Forsothe the Lord took you, and ledde out of the yrun furneys of Egipt, that he schulde haue a puple of eritage, as it is in `present dai.
耶和华将你们从埃及领出来，脱离铁炉，要特作自己产业的子民，像今日一样。
21 And the Lord was wrooth ayens me for youre wordis, and swoor that Y schulde not passe Jordan, and schulde not entre in to the beeste lond, which he schal yyue to you.
耶和华又因你们的缘故向我发怒，起誓必不容我过约旦河，也不容我进入耶和华—你 神所赐你为业的那美地。
22 Lo! Y die in this erthe; Y schal not passe Jordan; ye schulen passe, and schulen welde the noble lond.
我只得死在这地，不能过约旦河；但你们必过去得那美地。
23 Be thou war, lest ony tyme thou foryete the couenaunt of thi Lord God, which he made with thee, and lest thou make to thee a grauun licness of tho thingis whiche the Lord forbeed to make.
你们要谨慎，免得忘记耶和华—你们 神与你们所立的约，为自己雕刻偶像，就是耶和华—你 神所禁止你做的偶像；
24 For thi Lord God is fier wastynge; `God, a feruent louyere.
因为耶和华—你的 神乃是烈火，是忌邪的 神。
25 If ye gendren sones, and sones of sones, and ye dwellen in the lond, and ye be disceyued, and make to you ony licnesse, and doen yuel bifor youre Lord God, that ye terren hym to greet wrathe,
“你们在那地住久了，生子生孙，就雕刻偶像，仿佛什么形象，败坏自己，行耶和华—你 神眼中看为恶的事，惹他发怒。
26 Y clepe witnesses to dai heuene and erthe, `that is, ech resonable creature beynge in heuene and in erthe, that ye schulen perische soone fro the lond, which ye schulen welde, whanne ye han passid Jordan; ye schulen not dwelle long tyme therynne, but the Lord schal do awey you,
我今日呼天唤地向你们作见证，你们必在过约旦河得为业的地上速速灭尽！你们不能在那地上长久，必尽行除灭。
27 and schal scatere `in to alle hethen men, and ye schulen leeue fewe among naciouns, to whiche the Lord schal lede you.
耶和华必使你们分散在万民中；在他所领你们到的万国里，你们剩下的人数稀少。
28 And there ye schulen serue to goddis, that ben maad bi `the hond of men, to a tre and a stoon, that `seen not, nether heren, nether eten, nether smellen.
在那里，你们必事奉人手所造的神，就是用木石造成、不能看、不能听、不能吃、不能闻的神。
29 And whanne thou hast souyt there thi Lord God, thou schalt fynde hym; if netheles thou sekist with al the herte, and with al the tribulacioun of thi soule.
但你们在那里必寻求耶和华—你的 神。你尽心尽性寻求他的时候，就必寻见。
30 Aftir that alle thingis han founde thee, that ben biforseid, forsothe in the laste tyme, thou schalt turne ayen to thi Lord God, and thou schalt here his vois.
日后你遭遇一切患难的时候，你必归回耶和华—你的 神，听从他的话。
31 For thi Lord God is merciful God; he schal not forsake thee, nethir he schal do awey outirli, nethir he schal foryete the couenaunt, in which he swoor to thi fadris.
耶和华—你 神原是有怜悯的 神；他总不撇下你，不灭绝你，也不忘记他起誓与你列祖所立的约。
32 Axe thou of elde daies that weren bifor thee, fro the day in which thi Lord God made of nouyt man on erthe, axe thou fro that oon ende of heuene `til to the tother ende therof, if sich a thing was doon ony tyme, ether if it was euere knowun,
“你且考察在你以前的世代，自 神造人在世以来，从天这边到天那边，曾有何民听见 神在火中说话的声音，像你听见还能存活呢？这样的大事何曾有、何曾听见呢？
33 that a puple herde the vois of God spekynge fro the myddis of the fier, as thou herdist, and siest;
34 if God `dide, that he entride, and took to him silf a folc fro the middis of naciouns, bi temptaciouns, myraclis, and grete wondris, bi batel, and strong hond, and arm holdun forth, and orrible siytis, bi alle thingis whiche youre Lord God dide for you in Egipt, `while thin iyen sien;
神何曾从别的国中将一国的人民领出来，用试验、神迹、奇事、争战、大能的手，和伸出来的膀臂，并大可畏的事，像耶和华—你们的 神在埃及，在你们眼前为你们所行的一切事呢？
35 that thou schuldist wite, that the Lord hym silf is God, and noon other is, outakun oon.
这是显给你看，要使你知道，惟有耶和华—他是 神，除他以外，再无别神。
36 Fro heuene he made thee to here his vois, that he schulde teche thee; and in erthe he schewide to thee his grettiste fier, and thou herdist the wordis `of hym fro the myddis of the fier;
他从天上使你听见他的声音，为要教训你，又在地上使你看见他的烈火，并且听见他从火中所说的话。
37 for he louyde thi fadris, and chees her seed aftir hem. And he ledde thee out of Egipt, and yede bifore in his greet vertu,
因他爱你的列祖，所以拣选他们的后裔，用大能亲自领你出了埃及，
38 that he schulde do awei grettiste naciouns, and strongere than thou, in thin entryng, and that he schulde lede thee ynne, and schulde yyue to thee the lond `of hem in to possessioun, as thou seest in `present day.
要将比你强大的国民从你面前赶出，领你进去，将他们的地赐你为业，像今日一样。
39 Therfor wite thou to dai, and thenke in thin herte, that the Lord him silfe is God in heuene aboue, and in erthe bynethe, and noon other is.
所以，今日你要知道，也要记在心上，天上地下惟有耶和华他是 神，除他以外，再无别神。
40 Kepe thou hise heestis, and comaundementis, whiche Y comaunde to thee, that it be wel to thee, and to thi sones after thee, and that thou dwelle mych tyme on the lond, which thi Lord God schal yyue to thee.
我今日将他的律例诫命晓谕你，你要遵守，使你和你的子孙可以得福，并使你的日子在耶和华—你 神所赐的地上得以长久。”
41 Thanne Moises departide thre citees biyende Jordan at the eest coost,
“那时，摩西在约旦河东，向日出之地，分定三座城，
42 that he fle to tho, that sleeth his neighbore not wilfuli, and was not enemy bifore oon and `the tother dai, and that he mai fle to summe of these citees;
使那素无仇恨、无心杀了人的，可以逃到这三城之中的一座城，就得存活：
43 Bosor in the wildirnesse, which is set in the feeldi lond, of the lynage of Ruben; and Ramoth in Galaad, which is in the lynage of Gad; and Golan in Basan, which is in the lynage of Manasses.
为吕便人分定旷野平原的比悉；为迦得人分定基列的拉末；为玛拿西人分定巴珊的哥兰。”
44 This is the lawe which Moises `settide forth bifor the sones of Israel,
摩西在以色列人面前所陈明的律法—
45 and these ben the witnessyngis, and cerymonyes, and domes, whiche he spak to the sones of Israel, whanne thei yeden out of Egipt,
就是摩西在以色列人出埃及后所传给他们的法度、律例、典章；
46 biyende Jordan, in the valey ayens the temple of Phegor, in the lond of Seon, kyng of Ammorreis, that dwellide in Esebon, whom Moises killide. And the sones of Israel yeden out of Egipt, and weldiden `the lond of him,
在约旦河东伯·毗珥对面的谷中，在住希实本、亚摩利王西宏之地；这西宏是摩西和以色列人出埃及后所击杀的。
47 and the lond of Og, kyng of Basan, twei kyngis of Ammoreis, that weren biyende Jordan, at the rysyng of the sunne;
他们得了他的地，又得了巴珊王噩的地，就是两个亚摩利王，在约旦河东向日出之地。
48 fro Aroer which is set on the brenke of the stronde of Arnon, `til to the hil of Seon, which is Hermon;
从亚嫩谷边的亚罗珥，直到西云山，就是黑门山。
49 thei weldiden al the pleyn biyende Jordan, at the eest coost, `til to the see of wildirnesse, and `til to the rootis of the hil of Phasga.
还有约旦河东的全亚拉巴，直到亚拉巴海，靠近毗斯迦山根。
