Deuteronomy 32

1 Give ear, O heavens, and I will speak; hear, O earth, the words of my mouth.

1 “诸天啊，请听我说； 大地啊，请听我言。

2 Let my teaching fall like rain and my speech settle like dew, like gentle rain on new grass, like showers on tender plants.

2 愿我的教导如雨降下， 愿我的话语如露滴落， 像水滴滋润嫩草， 像甘霖浇灌草木。

3 For I will proclaim the name of the LORD. Ascribe greatness to our God!

3 我要宣扬耶和华的名， 你们要颂赞我们上帝的伟大。

4 He is the Rock, His work is perfect; all His ways are just. A God of faithfulness without injustice, righteous and upright is He.

4 “祂是磐石， 祂的作为完美， 祂按公义行事， 祂信实可靠，公平正直。

5 His people have acted corruptly toward Him; the blemish on them is not that of His children, but of a perverse and crooked generation.

5 狡诈、堕落的一代啊， 你们却对祂不忠，行事败坏， 不配做祂的儿女。

6 Is this how you repay the LORD, O foolish and senseless people? Is He not your Father and Creator? Has He not made you and established you?

6 愚昧无知的人啊， 你们就这样报答耶和华吗？ 祂是你们的父，你们的创造主， 祂创造了你们，塑造了你们。

7 Remember the days of old; consider the years long past. Ask your father, and he will tell you, your elders, and they will inform you.

7 “要回顾往昔，追溯历史； 问你们的父亲， 他们必回答你们； 问你们的长者， 他们必告诉你们。

8 When the Most High gave the nations their inheritance, when He divided the sons of man, He set the boundaries of the peoples according to the number of the sons of God.

8 当初，至高者赐万国产业， 把人类分开， 祂依照天使 的数目， 为万族定疆界。

9 But the LORD’s portion is His people, Jacob His allotted inheritance.

9 但以色列人属于耶和华， 雅各是祂的产业。

10 He found him in a desert land, in a barren, howling wilderness; He surrounded him, He instructed him, He guarded him as the apple of His eye.

10 “在荒凉的旷野， 在野兽吼叫的荒野， 耶和华找到他们， 庇护他们，看顾他们， 保护他们如同保护眼中的瞳仁，

11 As an eagle stirs up its nest and hovers over its young, He spread His wings to catch them and carried them on His pinions.

11 又如老鹰搅动窝巢， 盘旋在雏鹰之上， 展开双翼接住它们， 背着他们飞翔。

12 The LORD alone led him, and no foreign god was with him.

12 耶和华独自带领他们， 没有外族神明同在。

13 He made him ride on the heights of the land and fed him the produce of the field. He nourished him with honey from the rock and oil from the flinty crag,

13 耶和华使他们驰骋在大地的高处， 吃田间的五谷， 磐石中的蜂蜜， 石头地产的油；

14 with curds from the herd and milk from the flock, with the fat of lambs, with rams from Bashan, and goats, with the choicest grains of wheat. From the juice of the finest grapes you drank the wine.

14 吃牛酪和羊奶， 肥美的羔羊， 巴珊的绵羊和山羊， 上好的麦子； 喝葡萄汁酿的酒。

15 But Jeshurun grew fat and kicked—becoming fat, bloated, and gorged. He abandoned the God who made him and scorned the Rock of his salvation.

15 “但耶书仑 吃饱喝足， 养肥长壮后，就得意忘形， 背弃造他们的上帝， 藐视救他们的磐石。

16 They provoked His jealousy with foreign gods; they enraged Him with abominations.

16 他们拜外族的神明，令祂愤恨； 行可憎之事，惹祂发怒。

17 They sacrificed to demons, not to God, to gods they had not known, to newly arrived gods, which your fathers did not fear.

17 他们祭拜的不是真神， 而是鬼魔， 是他们素不认识的新神明， 是他们祖先所不敬畏的。

18 You ignored the Rock who brought you forth; you forgot the God who gave you birth.

18 他们轻视生他们的磐石， 忘记养他们的上帝。

19 When the LORD saw this, He rejected them, provoked to anger by His sons and daughters.

19 “耶和华看见祂儿女的恶行， 就愤然厌弃他们，

20 He said: “I will hide My face from them; I will see what will be their end. For they are a perverse generation—children of unfaithfulness.

20 说，‘这堕落的子民， 不忠的儿女！ 我要掩面不理他们， 看他们的结局如何。

21 They have provoked My jealousy by that which is not God; they have enraged Me with their worthless idols. So I will make them jealous by those who are not a people; I will make them angry by a nation without understanding.

21 他们拜假神，让我愤恨； 供虚无之物，惹我发怒。 我要借无名之民挑起他们的嫉妒， 用愚昧的国民激起他们的怒气。

22 For a fire has been kindled by My anger, and it burns to the depths of Sheol; it consumes the earth and its produce, and scorches the foundations of the mountains.

22 我的怒火已经点燃， 要烧到阴间的尽头， 吞灭大地及其出产， 甚至烧毁山的根基。

23 I will heap disasters upon them; I will spend My arrows against them.

23 “‘我要使灾祸连连临到他们， 我的箭都射向他们。

24 They will be wasted from hunger and ravaged by pestilence and bitter plague; I will send the fangs of wild beasts against them, with the venom of vipers that slither in the dust.

24 他们必饱受饥荒之苦， 被瘟疫和灾祸吞噬， 被猛兽和毒蛇袭击。

25 Outside, the sword will take their children, and inside, terror will strike the young man and the young woman, the infant and the gray-haired man.

25 外有刀剑杀戮， 内有恐惧笼罩， 男女老幼无不丧命。

26 I would have said that I would cut them to pieces and blot out their memory from mankind,

26 我本要消灭他们， 使世人忘记他们；

27 if I had not dreaded the taunt of the enemy, lest their adversaries misunderstand and say: ‘Our own hand has prevailed; it was not the LORD who did all this.’”

27 但我怕敌人夸口， 误以为这是他们的胜利， 而非我的作为。’

28 Israel is a nation devoid of counsel, with no understanding among them.

28 “以色列人愚昧无知，毫无见识。

29 If only they were wise, they would understand it; they would comprehend their fate.

29 如果他们有智慧， 就能明白这一切， 知道自己的结局。

30 How could one man pursue a thousand, or two put ten thousand to flight, unless their Rock had sold them, unless the LORD had given them up?

30 若不是他们的磐石卖掉他们， 若不是耶和华抛弃他们， 一人怎能赶散他们千人？ 二人怎能击溃他们万人？

31 For their rock is not like our Rock, even our enemies concede.

31 我们的敌人也承认他们的磐石不如我们的磐石。

32 But their vine is from the vine of Sodom and from the fields of Gomorrah. Their grapes are poisonous; their clusters are bitter.

32 他们犹如来自所多玛、 长在蛾摩拉的葡萄树， 结的葡萄粒粒有毒，串串苦涩；

33 Their wine is the venom of serpents, the deadly poison of cobras.

33 酿的酒如蛇的毒液， 如眼镜蛇的毒液。

34 “Have I not stored up these things, sealed up within My vaults?

34 “祂说，‘我把这一切积存起来， 封在我的仓库里。

35 Vengeance is Mine; I will repay. In due time their foot will slip; for their day of disaster is near, and their doom is coming quickly.”

35 申冤在我，我必报应， 到时候他们必站不住脚， 他们遭祸的日子近了， 他们的末日快要来了。’

36 For the LORD will vindicate His people and have compassion on His servants when He sees that their strength is gone and no one remains, slave or free.

36 “耶和华见自己的子民力量衰竭， 奴隶和自由人所剩无几， 必为他们主持公道， 怜悯祂的仆人。

37 He will say: “Where are their gods, the rock in which they took refuge,

37 祂必说，‘你们的神明在哪里？ 庇护你们的磐石在哪里？

38 which ate the fat of their sacrifices and drank the wine of their drink offerings? Let them rise up and help you; let them give you shelter!

38 它们吃你们祭牲的脂肪， 喝你们的奠酒。 让它们起来帮助你们， 庇护你们吧！

39 See now that I am He; there is no God besides Me. I bring death and I give life; I wound and I heal, and there is no one who can deliver from My hand.

39 “‘你们现今要知道， 唯有我是上帝； 除我之外，别无他神。 我掌管生死，我打伤、我医治； 无人能逃出我的掌心。

40 For I lift up My hand to heaven and declare: As surely as I live forever,

40 我向天伸手， 凭我的永恒起誓，

41 when I sharpen My flashing sword, and My hand grasps it in judgment, I will take vengeance on My adversaries and repay those who hate Me.

41 我要磨快闪亮的剑， 主持公道，报应仇敌， 惩罚恨我的人。

42 I will make My arrows drunk with blood, while My sword devours flesh—the blood of the slain and captives, the heads of the enemy leaders.”

42 我要使我的箭饱饮鲜血， 就是被杀被掳之人的血； 我的剑要吞噬人肉， 就是敌人将领的肉。’

43 Rejoice, O heavens, with Him, and let all God’s angels worship Him. Rejoice, O nations, with His people; for He will avenge the blood of His children. He will take vengeance on His adversaries and repay those who hate Him; He will cleanse His land and His people.

43 “列邦啊， 你们当与祂的子民一同欢乐！ 因为祂要为自己的仆人报血仇， 报应祂的仇敌， 洁净祂的土地和子民。”

44 Then Moses came with Joshua son of Nun and recited all the words of this song in the hearing of the people.

44 摩西和嫩的儿子约书亚把这首诗歌读给会众听。

45 When Moses had finished reciting all these words to all Israel,

45 读完后，摩西又对以色列人说：

46 he said to them, “Take to heart all the words I have solemnly declared to you this day, so that you may command your children to carefully follow all the words of this law.

46 “要谨记我今天警告你们的话，要吩咐你们的子孙谨遵这律法上的一切话。

47 For they are not idle words to you, because they are your life, and by them you will live long in the land that you are crossing the Jordan to possess.”

47 这律法不是空话，而是你们的生命。你们若遵守这律法，就必长住在约旦河西岸你们将要占领的土地上。”

48 On that same day the LORD said to Moses,

48 当天，耶和华对摩西说：

49 “Go up into the Abarim Range to Mount Nebo, in the land of Moab across from Jericho, and view the land of Canaan, which I am giving to the Israelites as their own possession.

49 “你去耶利哥对面的摩押，登上亚巴琳山区的尼波山，观看我要赐给以色列人作产业的迦南。

50 And there on the mountain that you climb, you will die and be gathered to your people, just as your brother Aaron died on Mount Hor and was gathered to his people.

50 之后，你会死在那山上，归到你祖先那里，如你哥哥亚伦在何珥山离世归祖一样。

51 For at the waters of Meribah-kadesh in the Wilderness of Zin, both of you broke faith with Me among the Israelites by failing to treat Me as holy in their presence.

51 因为在荀旷野，在加低斯的米利巴泉旁，你和亚伦对我不忠，没有在以色列人中尊我为圣。

52 Although you shall see from a distance the land that I am giving the Israelites, you shall not enter it.”

52 所以，你只能远远地观看我要赐给以色列人的土地，却不能进去。”
