Deuteronomy 31
1 And Moses goeth and speaketh these words unto all Israel,
摩西去告訴以色列眾人
2 and he saith unto them, 'A son of a hundred and twenty years [am] I to-day; I am not able any more to go out and to come in, and Jehovah hath said unto me, Thou dost not pass over this Jordan,
說：「我現在一百二十歲了，不能照常出入；耶和華也曾對我說：『你必不得過這約旦河。』
3 'Jehovah thy God He is passing over before thee, He doth destroy these nations from before thee, and thou hast possessed them; Joshua — he is passing over before thee as Jehovah hath spoken,
耶和華－你們的上帝必引導你們過去，將這些國民在你們面前滅絕，你們就得他們的地。約書亞必引導你們過去，正如耶和華所說的。
4 and Jehovah hath done to them as he hath done to Sihon and to Og, kings of the Amorite, and to their land, whom He destroyed.
耶和華必待他們，如同從前待他所滅絕的亞摩利二王西宏與噩以及他們的國一樣。
5 And Jehovah hath given them before your face, and ye have done to them according to all the command which I have commanded you;
耶和華必將他們交給你們；你們要照我所吩咐的一切命令待他們。
6 be strong and courageous, fear not, nor be terrified because of them, for Jehovah thy God [is] He who is going with thee; He doth not fail thee nor forsake thee.'
你們當剛強壯膽，不要害怕，也不要畏懼他們，因為耶和華－你的上帝和你同去。他必不撇下你，也不丟棄你。」
7 And Moses calleth for Joshua, and saith unto him before the eyes of all Israel, 'Be strong and courageous, for thou — thou dost go in with this people unto the land which Jehovah hath sworn to their fathers to give to them, and thou — thou dost cause them to inherit it;
摩西召了約書亞來，在以色列眾人眼前對他說：「你當剛強壯膽！因為，你要和這百姓一同進入耶和華向他們列祖起誓應許所賜之地；你也要使他們承受那地為業。
8 and Jehovah [is] He who is going before thee, He himself is with thee; He doth not fail thee nor forsake thee; fear not, nor be affrighted.'
耶和華必在你前面行；他必與你同在，必不撇下你，也不丟棄你。不要懼怕，也不要驚惶。」
9 And Moses writeth this law, and giveth it unto the priests (sons of Levi, those bearing the ark of the covenant of Jehovah), and unto all the elders of Israel,
摩西將這律法寫出來，交給抬耶和華約櫃的祭司利未子孫和以色列的眾長老。
10 and Moses commandeth them, saying, 'At the end of seven years, in the appointed time, the year of release, in the feast of booths,
摩西吩咐他們說：「每逢七年的末一年，就在豁免年的定期住棚節的時候，
11 in the coming in of all Israel to see the face of Jehovah in the place which He chooseth, thou dost proclaim this law before all Israel, in their ears.
以色列眾人來到耶和華－你上帝所選擇的地方朝見他。那時，你要在以色列眾人面前將這律法念給他們聽。
12 'Assemble the people, the men, and the women, and the infants, and thy sojourner who [is] within thy gates, so that they hear, and so that they learn, and have feared Jehovah your God, and observed to do all the words of this law;
要招聚他們男、女、孩子，並城裏寄居的，使他們聽，使他們學習，好敬畏耶和華－你們的上帝，謹守、遵行這律法的一切話，
13 and their sons, who have not known, do hear, and have learned to fear Jehovah your God all the days which ye are living on the ground whither ye are passing over the Jordan to possess it.'
也使他們未曾曉得這律法的兒女得以聽見，學習敬畏耶和華－你們的上帝，在你們過約旦河要得為業之地，存活的日子，常常這樣行。」
14 And Jehovah saith unto Moses, 'Lo, thy days have drawn near to die; call Joshua, and station yourselves in the tent of meeting, and I charge him;' and Moses goeth — Joshua also — and they station themselves in the tent of meeting,
耶和華對摩西說：「你的死期臨近了；要召約書亞來，你們二人站在會幕裏，我好囑咐他。」於是摩西和約書亞去站在會幕裏。
15 and Jehovah is seen in the tent, in a pillar of a cloud; and the pillar of the cloud standeth at the opening of the tent.
耶和華在會幕裏雲柱中顯現，雲柱停在會幕門以上。
16 And Jehovah saith unto Moses, 'Lo, thou art lying down with thy fathers, and this people hath risen, and gone a-whoring after the gods of the stranger of the land into the midst of which it hath entered, and forsaken Me, and broken My covenant which I made with it;
耶和華又對摩西說：「你必和你列祖同睡。這百姓要起來，在他們所要去的地上，在那地的人中，隨從外邦神行邪淫，離棄我，違背我與他們所立的約。
17 and Mine anger hath burned against it in that day, and I have forsaken them, and hidden My face from them, and it hath been for consumption, and many evils and distresses have found it, and it hath said in that day, Is it not because that my God is not in my midst — these evils have found me?
那時，我的怒氣必向他們發作；我也必離棄他們，掩面不顧他們，以致他們被吞滅，並有許多的禍患災難臨到他們。那日他們必說：『這些禍患臨到我們，豈不是因我們的上帝不在我們中間嗎？』
18 and I certainly hide My face in that day for all the evil which it hath done, for it hath turned unto other gods.
那時，因他們偏向別神所行的一切惡，我必定掩面不顧他們。
19 'And now, write for you this song, and teach it the sons of Israel; put it in their mouths, so that this song is to Me for a witness against the sons of Israel,
現在你要寫一篇歌，教導以色列人，傳給他們，使這歌見證他們的不是；
20 and I bring them in unto the ground which I have sworn to their fathers — flowing with milk and honey, and they have eaten, and been satisfied, and been fat, and have turned unto other gods, and they have served them, and despised Me, and broken My covenant.
因為我將他們領進我向他們列祖起誓應許那流奶與蜜之地，他們在那裏吃得飽足，身體肥胖，就必偏向別神，事奉他們，藐視我，背棄我的約。
21 'And it hath been, when many evils and distresses do meet it, that this song hath testified to its face for a witness; for it is not forgotten out of the mouth of its seed, for I have known its imagining which it is doing to-day, before I bring them in unto the land of which I have sworn.'
那時，有許多禍患災難臨到他們，這歌必在他們面前作見證，他們後裔的口中必念誦不忘。我未領他們到我所起誓應許之地以先，他們所懷的意念我都知道了。」
22 And Moses writeth this song on that day, and doth teach it the sons of Israel,
當日摩西就寫了一篇歌，教導以色列人。
23 and He commandeth Joshua son of Nun, and saith, 'Be strong and courageous, for thou dost bring in the sons of Israel unto the land which I have sworn to them, and I — I am with thee.'
耶和華囑咐嫩的兒子約書亞說：「你當剛強壯膽，因為你必領以色列人進我所起誓應許他們的地；我必與你同在。」
24 And it cometh to pass, when Moses finisheth to write the words of this law on a book till their completion,
摩西將這律法的話寫在書上，及至寫完了，
25 that Moses commandeth the Levites bearing the ark of the covenant of Jehovah, saying,
就吩咐抬耶和華約櫃的利未人說：
26 'Take this Book of the Law, and thou hast set it on the side of the ark of the covenant of Jehovah your God, and it hath been there against thee for a witness;
「將這律法書放在耶和華－你們上帝的約櫃旁，可以在那裏見證以色列人的不是；
27 for I — I have known thy rebellion, and thy stiff neck; lo, in my being yet alive with you to-day, rebellious ye have been with Jehovah, and also surely after my death.
因為我知道你們是悖逆的，是硬着頸項的。我今日還活着與你們同在，你們尚且悖逆耶和華，何況我死後呢？
28 'Assemble unto me all the elders of your tribes, and your authorities, and I speak in their ears these words, and cause to testify against them the heavens and the earth,
你們要將你們支派的眾長老和官長都招聚了來，我好將這些話說與他們聽，並呼天喚地見證他們的不是。
29 for I have known that after my death ye do very corruptly, and have turned aside out of the way which I commanded you, and evil hath met you in the latter end of the days, because ye do the evil thing in the eyes of Jehovah, to make Him angry with the work of your hands.'
我知道我死後，你們必全然敗壞，偏離我所吩咐你們的道，行耶和華眼中看為惡的事，以手所做的惹他發怒；日後必有禍患臨到你們。」
30 And Moses speaketh in the ears of all the assembly of Israel the words of this song, till their completion: —
摩西將這一篇歌的話都說與以色列全會眾聽。
