Deuteronomy 29

1 These are the words of the covenant that the LORD commanded Moses to make with the Israelites in the land of Moab, in addition to the covenant He had made with them at Horeb.

1 耶和华除了与以色列人在何烈山立约外，还在摩押吩咐摩西与以色列人立以下的约。

2 Moses summoned all Israel and proclaimed to them, “You have seen with your own eyes everything the LORD did in Egypt to Pharaoh, to all his officials, and to all his land.

2 摩西召来所有以色列人，对他们说：“你们曾亲眼见过耶和华在埃及怎样对付法老及其臣仆和国民，

3 You saw with your own eyes the great trials, and those miraculous signs and wonders.

3 亲眼看见祂怎样降下巨大的灾难，行伟大的神迹奇事。

4 Yet to this day the LORD has not given you a mind to understand, eyes to see, or ears to hear.

4 但耶和华至今还没有赐给你们能明白的心、能看见的眼、能听清的耳。

5 For forty years I led you in the wilderness, yet your clothes and sandals did not wear out.

5 四十年来，耶和华领你们走过旷野，你们身上的衣服没有穿破，脚上的鞋没有穿坏；

6 You ate no bread and drank no wine or strong drink, so that you might know that I am the LORD your God.

6 你们没有吃饼，也没有喝淡酒和烈酒。这是为了让你们知道耶和华是你们的上帝。

7 When you reached this place, Sihon king of Heshbon and Og king of Bashan came out against us in battle, but we defeated them.

7 我们来到这里的时候，希实本王西宏和巴珊王噩都出来攻击我们，我们击败了他们，

8 We took their land and gave it as an inheritance to the Reubenites, the Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manasseh.

8 并将占领的土地分给吕便支派、迦得支派和玛拿西半个支派作产业。

9 So keep and follow the words of this covenant, that you may prosper in all you do.

9 所以，你们要谨遵这约上的话，以便凡事顺利。

10 All of you are standing today before the LORD your God—you leaders of tribes, elders, officials, and all the men of Israel,

10 “今天，你们全都站在你们的上帝耶和华面前，包括你们的族长、长老、官员、所有以色列男子、

11 your children and wives, and the foreigners in your camps who cut your wood and draw your water—

11 你们的孩子、妻子和寄居在你们营中为你们砍柴挑水的外族人，

12 so that you may enter into the covenant of the LORD your God, which He is making with you today, and into His oath,

12 为要接受你们的上帝耶和华今天与你们立的誓约。

13 and so that He may establish you today as His people, and He may be your God as He promised you and as He swore to your fathers, to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.

13 这样，祂今天将确立你们作祂的子民、祂作你们的上帝，正如祂对你们的应许和对你们祖先亚伯拉罕、以撒和雅各的誓言。

14 I am making this covenant and this oath not only with you,

14 耶和华的这誓约不仅是与你们立的，

15 but also with those who are standing here with us today in the presence of the LORD our God, as well as with those who are not here today.

15 也是与今天一同站在我们的上帝耶和华面前的人，以及今天不在这里的人 立的。

16 For you yourselves know how we lived in the land of Egypt and how we passed through the nations on the way here.

16 “你们知道我们如何在埃及生活，也知道我们如何穿越列国来到这里。

17 You saw the abominations and idols among them made of wood and stone, of silver and gold.

17 你们也见过他们可憎的木、石、金、银偶像。

18 Make sure there is no man or woman, clan or tribe among you today whose heart turns away from the LORD our God to go and worship the gods of those nations. Make sure there is no root among you that bears such poisonous and bitter fruit,

18 你们中间，不论男人或女人，家族或支派，切不可有人背弃我们的上帝耶和华，去祭拜列国的神明，你们中间切不可有残根长出苦毒的果实，

19 because when such a person hears the words of this oath, he invokes a blessing on himself, saying, ‘I will have peace, even though I walk in the stubbornness of my own heart.’ This will bring disaster on the watered land as well as the dry.

19 免得有人听了这誓言后，心存侥幸地说，‘即使我一意孤行，连累他人，也必平安无事。’

20 The LORD will never be willing to forgive him. Instead, His anger and jealousy will burn against that man, and every curse written in this book will fall upon him. The LORD will blot out his name from under heaven

20 耶和华绝不会赦免这样的人，祂必向这样的人发烈怒和义愤，使记在这书上的一切咒诅临到他身上，从世上抹去他的名字。

21 and single him out from all the tribes of Israel for disaster, according to all the curses of the covenant written in this Book of the Law.

21 耶和华必把他从以色列各支派中隔离出来，使他按律法书上约中的一切咒诅受惩罚。

22 Then the generation to come—your sons who follow you and the foreigner who comes from a distant land—will see the plagues of the land and the sicknesses the LORD has inflicted on it.

22 “你们的子孙后代和从远方来的外族人，必看见耶和华降在这地方的灾祸和疾病。

23 All its soil will be a burning waste of sulfur and salt, unsown and unproductive, with no plant growing on it, just like the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah, Admah and Zeboiim, which the LORD overthrew in His fierce anger.

23 遍地将是硫磺和盐，无法耕种，寸草不生，如同耶和华盛怒之下毁灭的所多玛、蛾摩拉、押玛和洗扁。

24 So all the nations will ask, ‘Why has the LORD done such a thing to this land? Why this great outburst of anger?’

24 万国必问，‘耶和华为什么要这样对待这地方？祂为什么大发烈怒？’

25 And the people will answer, ‘It is because they abandoned the covenant of the LORD, the God of their fathers, which He made with them when He brought them out of the land of Egypt.

25 必有人回答说，‘因为这地方的人背弃了他们祖先的上帝耶和华领他们出埃及时与他们所立的约，

26 They went and served other gods, and they worshiped gods they had not known—gods that the LORD had not given to them.

26 去供奉其他神明，祭拜他们不认识、也非耶和华分派给他们的神明。

27 Therefore the anger of the LORD burned against this land, and He brought upon it every curse written in this book.

27 因此，耶和华向这片土地发怒，把这书上写的一切咒诅都降在这里。

28 The LORD uprooted them from their land in His anger, rage, and great wrath, and He cast them into another land, where they are today.’

28 耶和华在怒气、义愤和烈怒中把他们从这地方连根拔起，扔到别的地方，正如今日的情形。’

29 The secret things belong to the LORD our God, but the things revealed belong to us and to our children forever, so that we may follow all the words of this law.

29 “奥秘的事属于我们的上帝耶和华，只有显明的事永远属于我们和我们的子孙，以便我们可以遵守这律法上的一切话。”
