Deuteronomy 16

1 Observe the month of Abib and celebrate the Passover to the LORD your God, because in the month of Abib the LORD your God brought you out of Egypt by night.

1 “你们要在亚笔月 为你们的上帝耶和华守逾越节，因为祂在这个月的一个晚上带你们出了埃及。

2 You are to offer to the LORD your God the Passover sacrifice from the herd or flock in the place the LORD will choose as a dwelling for His Name.

2 你们要在你们的上帝耶和华为祂的名选定的居所，把牛羊作为逾越节的祭牲献给祂。

3 You must not eat leavened bread with it; for seven days you are to eat with it unleavened bread, the bread of affliction, because you left the land of Egypt in haste—so that you may remember for the rest of your life the day you left the land of Egypt.

3 吃祭牲的时候，不可吃有酵的饼，七天之内要吃无酵饼，即忆苦饼，以便你们一生谨记离开埃及的日子，因为当时你们离开得很仓促。

4 No leaven is to be found in all your land for seven days, and none of the meat you sacrifice in the evening of the first day shall remain until morning.

4 那七天之内，你们境内不可有酵母。第一天傍晚献的祭肉不可留到早晨。

5 You are not to sacrifice the Passover animal in any of the towns that the LORD your God is giving you.

5 在你们的上帝耶和华将要赐给你们的各城中，你们不可献逾越节的祭牲，

6 You must only offer the Passover sacrifice at the place the LORD your God will choose as a dwelling for His Name. Do this in the evening as the sun sets, at the same time you departed from Egypt.

6 而是要在傍晚日落时分，即你们离开埃及的时候，到你们的上帝耶和华为祂的名选定的居所献逾越节的祭牲。

7 And you shall roast it and eat it in the place the LORD your God will choose, and in the morning you shall return to your tents.

7 你们要在那里煮祭肉吃，第二天早晨可以返回自己的帐篷。

8 For six days you must eat unleavened bread, and on the seventh day you shall hold a solemn assembly to the LORD your God, and you must not do any work.

8 在随后的六天之内，你们要吃无酵饼。第七天，要举行庄严的聚会，敬拜你们的上帝耶和华。那一天你们不可做工。

9 You are to count off seven weeks from the time you first put the sickle to the standing grain.

9 “从收割那天开始算起，你们要算出七周的时间。

10 And you shall celebrate the Feast of Weeks to the LORD your God with a freewill offering that you give in proportion to how the LORD your God has blessed you,

10 七周后，要为你们的上帝耶和华守七七收获节 。那时，你们要按照你们的上帝耶和华所赐的福分，甘心乐意地献上祭物。

11 and you shall rejoice before the LORD your God in the place He will choose as a dwelling for His Name—you, your sons and daughters, your menservants and maidservants, and the Levite within your gates, as well as the foreigner, the fatherless, and the widows among you.

11 你们要和儿女、仆婢、同城的利未人、寄居者及孤儿寡妇，在你们的上帝耶和华为祂的名选定的居所，在祂面前一起欢喜快乐。

12 Remember that you were slaves in Egypt, and carefully follow these statutes.

12 你们要记住自己曾在埃及做过奴隶，因此要谨遵这些律例。

13 You are to celebrate the Feast of Tabernacles for seven days after you have gathered the produce of your threshing floor and your winepress.

13 “在收藏好谷物和新酒后，你们要守七天的住棚节。

14 And you shall rejoice in your feast—you, your sons and daughters, your menservants and maidservants, and the Levite, as well as the foreigner, the fatherless, and the widows among you.

14 住棚节期间，你们要和儿女、仆婢、同城的利未人、寄居者及孤儿寡妇一起欢庆。

15 For seven days you shall celebrate a feast to the LORD your God in the place He will choose, because the LORD your God will bless you in all your produce and in all the work of your hands, so that your joy will be complete.

15 要在你们的上帝耶和华选定的地方，为祂守住棚节七天；要满心欢喜，因为你们的上帝耶和华赐福你们，使你们的出产丰富、凡事顺利。

16 Three times a year all your men are to appear before the LORD your God in the place He will choose: at the Feast of Unleavened Bread, the Feast of Weeks, and the Feast of Tabernacles. No one should appear before the LORD empty-handed.

16 “你们所有男子要每年三次，即在除酵节、七七收获节和住棚节，在你们的上帝耶和华指定的地方朝见祂。你们不可空手朝见耶和华，

17 Everyone must appear with a gift as he is able, according to the blessing the LORD your God has given you.

17 各人要按祂赐的福分，尽自己的能力献上礼物。

18 You are to appoint judges and officials for your tribes in every town that the LORD your God is giving you. They are to judge the people with righteous judgment.

18 “要在你们的上帝耶和华将要赐给你们的各城中，按支派委任审判官及其他官员。官员们要秉公审判，

19 Do not deny justice or show partiality. Do not accept a bribe, for a bribe blinds the eyes of the wise and twists the words of the righteous.

19 不可徇私枉法、偏心待人，收受贿赂，因为贿赂蒙蔽智者的眼睛，使正直人颠倒是非。

20 Pursue justice, and justice alone, so that you may live, and you may possess the land that the LORD your God is giving you.

20 你们要追求公正公义，以便存活，承受你们的上帝耶和华赐给你们的土地。

21 Do not set up any wooden Asherah pole next to the altar you will build for the LORD your God,

21 “在为你们的上帝耶和华建造的祭坛旁，你们不可竖立亚舍拉木神像，

22 and do not set up for yourselves a sacred pillar, which the LORD your God hates.

22 也不可竖立神柱，因为这些是你们的上帝耶和华所憎恶的。
