Deuteronomy 26

1 When you enter the land that the LORD your God is giving you as an inheritance, and you take possession of it and settle in it,

1 “你们进入你们的上帝耶和华将要赐给你们作产业的土地，占领那里，安居下来以后，

2 you are to take some of the firstfruits of all your produce from the soil of the land that the LORD your God is giving you and put them in a basket. Then go to the place the LORD your God will choose as a dwelling for His Name,

2 要把在那里收获的各种初熟的物产放在篮子里，带到你们的上帝耶和华为祂的名选定的居所。

3 to the priest who is serving at that time, and say to him, “I declare today to the LORD your God that I have entered the land that the LORD swore to our fathers to give us.”

3 你们要对当值的祭司说，‘今天我要向我们的上帝耶和华宣告，我已经进入祂向我们祖先起誓要赐给我们的土地。’

4 Then the priest shall take the basket from your hands and place it before the altar of the LORD your God,

4 祭司要从你们手中接过篮子，放在你们的上帝耶和华的祭坛前。

5 and you are to declare before the LORD your God, “My father was a wandering Aramean, and he went down to Egypt few in number and lived there and became a great nation, mighty and numerous.

5 你们要在你们的上帝耶和华面前宣告，‘我们的祖先原是漂泊的亚兰人。他下到埃及寄居时，家中人丁稀少，后来成为人口众多的强大民族。

6 But the Egyptians mistreated us and afflicted us, putting us to hard labor.

6 埃及人苦待我们，压迫我们，强迫我们做苦工。

7 So we called out to the LORD, the God of our fathers; and the LORD heard our voice and saw our affliction, toil, and oppression.

7 于是，我们呼求我们祖先的上帝耶和华。祂听见我们的呼求，看见我们的痛苦、艰辛和所受的压迫，

8 Then the LORD brought us out of Egypt with a mighty hand and an outstretched arm, with great terror, signs, and wonders.

8 就伸出臂膀，用大能的手行神迹奇事，以伟大而可畏的作为带我们出埃及。

9 And He brought us to this place and gave us this land, a land flowing with milk and honey.

9 祂带领我们来到这个地方，把这奶蜜之乡赐给我们。

10 And now, behold, I have brought the firstfruits of the land that You, O LORD, have given me.” Then you are to place the basket before the LORD your God and bow down before Him.

10 耶和华啊，现在我从你赐给我的土地上带来初熟的物产。’你们要把篮子放在你们的上帝耶和华面前，敬拜祂。

11 So you shall rejoice—you, the Levite, and the foreigner dwelling among you—in all the good things the LORD your God has given to you and your household.

11 你们和利未人以及住在你们中间的外族人，都要因你们的上帝耶和华赐给你们和你们家人的福祉而欢喜快乐。

12 When you have finished laying aside a tenth of all your produce in the third year, the year of the tithe, you are to give it to the Levite, the foreigner, the fatherless, and the widow, that they may eat and be filled within your gates.

12 “每逢第三年是十一奉献年。你们应当把自己所有出产的十分之一拿出来分给利未人、寄居者和孤儿寡妇，使他们在你们居住的城邑吃饱喝足。

13 Then you shall declare in the presence of the LORD your God, “I have removed from my house the sacred portion and have given it to the Levite, the foreigner, the fatherless, and the widow, according to all the commandments You have given me. I have not transgressed or forgotten Your commandments.

13 然后，你们要在你们的上帝耶和华面前宣告，‘我已经按照你的诫命，从家里拿出圣物分给利未人、寄居者和孤儿寡妇。我没有触犯也没有忘记你的任何诫命。

14 I have not eaten any of the sacred portion while in mourning, or removed any of it while unclean, or offered any of it for the dead. I have obeyed the LORD my God; I have done everything You commanded me.

14 这些圣物，我守丧期间没有吃过，不洁净时没有拿过，也没有献给死人。我听从我的上帝耶和华，遵行你的一切吩咐。

15 Look down from Your holy habitation, from heaven, and bless Your people Israel and the land You have given us as You swore to our fathers—a land flowing with milk and honey.”

15 求你从天上圣洁的居所垂看，赐福给你的以色列子民和你赐给我们的土地，就是你向我们祖先起誓应许的奶蜜之乡。’

16 The LORD your God commands you this day to follow these statutes and ordinances. You must be careful to follow them with all your heart and with all your soul.

16 “你们的上帝耶和华今天吩咐你们遵守这些律例和典章，你们要全心全意地谨慎遵守。

17 Today you have proclaimed that the LORD is your God and that you will walk in His ways, keep His statutes and commandments and ordinances, and listen to His voice.

17 你们今天已经宣布耶和华是你们的上帝，并愿意遵行祂的道，谨守祂的一切律例、诫命和典章，听从祂的话语。

18 And today the LORD has proclaimed that you are His people and treasured possession as He promised, that you are to keep all His commandments,

18 耶和华今天已经照祂的应许宣布你们是祂的子民，是祂宝贵的产业。因此，你们要遵守祂的一切诫命，

19 that He will set you high in praise and name and honor above all the nations He has made, and that you will be a holy people to the LORD your God, as He has promised.

19 这样祂必使你们备受赞誉和尊崇，超越祂所造的万国，并照着祂的应许使你们做祂的圣民。”
