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 「你要注意亞筆月，向耶和華－你的上帝守逾越節，因為耶和華－你的上帝在亞筆月夜間領你出埃及。

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 你當在耶和華所選擇要立為他名的居所，從牛群羊群中，將逾越節的祭牲獻給耶和華－你的上帝。

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 你吃這祭牲，不可吃有酵的餅；七日之內要吃無酵餅，就是困苦餅－你本是急忙出了埃及地－要叫你一生一世記念你從埃及地出來的日子。

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 在你四境之內，七日不可見麵酵，頭一日晚上所獻的肉，一點不可留到早晨。

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

5 在耶和華－你上帝所賜的各城中，你不可獻逾越節的祭；

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 只當在耶和華－你上帝所選擇要立為他名的居所，晚上日落的時候，乃是你出埃及的時候，獻逾越節的祭。

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 當在耶和華－你上帝所選擇的地方把肉烤了吃 ，次日早晨就回到你的帳棚去。

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 你要吃無酵餅六日，第七日要向耶和華－你的上帝守嚴肅會，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 「你要計算七七日：從你開鐮收割禾稼時算起，共計七七日。

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 你要照耶和華－你上帝所賜你的福，手裏拿着甘心祭，獻在耶和華－你的上帝面前，守七七節。

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 你和你兒女、僕婢，並住在你城裏的利未人，以及在你們中間寄居的與孤兒寡婦，都要在耶和華－你上帝所選擇立為他名的居所，在耶和華－你的上帝面前歡樂。

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

12 你也要記念你在埃及作過奴僕。你要謹守遵行這些律例。」

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 「你把禾場的穀、酒醡的酒收藏以後，就要守住棚節七日。

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 守節的時候，你和你兒女、僕婢，並住在你城裏的利未人，以及寄居的與孤兒寡婦，都要歡樂。

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 在耶和華所選擇的地方，你當向耶和華－你的上帝守節七日；因為耶和華－你上帝在你一切的土產上和你手裏所辦的事上要賜福與你，你就非常地歡樂。

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 你一切的男丁要在除酵節、七七節、住棚節，一年三次，在耶和華－你上帝所選擇的地方朝見他，卻不可空手朝見。

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

17 各人要按自己的力量，照耶和華－你上帝所賜的福分，奉獻禮物。」

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 「你要在耶和華－你上帝所賜的各城裏，按着各支派設立審判官和官長。他們必按公義的審判判斷百姓。

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 不可屈枉正直；不可看人的外貌。也不可受賄賂；因為賄賂能叫智慧人的眼變瞎了，又能顛倒義人的話。

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 你要追求至公至義，好叫你存活，承受耶和華－你上帝所賜你的地。

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

21 「你為耶和華－你的上帝築壇，不可在壇旁栽甚麼樹木作為木偶。

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

22 也不可為自己設立柱像；這是耶和華－你上帝所恨惡的。
