Deuteronomy 5

1 Then Moses summoned all Israel and said to them: Hear, O Israel, the statutes and ordinances that I declare in your hearing this day. Learn them and observe them carefully.

1 摩西將以色列眾人召了來，對他們說：「以色列人哪，我今日曉諭你們的律例典章，你們要聽，可以學習，謹守遵行。

2 The LORD our God made a covenant with us at Horeb.

2 耶和華－我們的上帝在何烈山與我們立約。

3 He did not make this covenant with our fathers, but with all of us who are alive here today.

3 這約不是與我們列祖立的，乃是與我們今日在這裏存活之人立的。

4 The LORD spoke with you face to face out of the fire on the mountain.

4 耶和華在山上，從火中，面對面與你們說話－

5 At that time I was standing between the LORD and you to declare to you the word of the LORD, because you were afraid of the fire and would not go up the mountain. And He said:

5 那時我站在耶和華和你們中間，要將耶和華的話傳給你們；因為你們懼怕那火，沒有上山－說：

6 “I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery.

6 「『我是耶和華－你的上帝，曾將你從埃及地為奴之家領出來。

7 You shall have no other gods before Me.

7 「『除了我以外，你不可有別的神。

8 You shall not make for yourself an idol in the form of anything in the heavens above, on the earth below, or in the waters beneath.

8 「『不可為自己雕刻偶像，也不可做甚麼形像，彷彿上天、下地和地底下、水中的百物。

9 You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on their children to the third and fourth generations of those who hate Me,

9 不可跪拜那些像，也不可事奉它，因為我耶和華－你的上帝是忌邪的上帝。恨我的，我必追討他的罪，自父及子，直到三、四代；

10 but showing loving devotion to a thousand generations of those who love Me and keep My commandments.

10 愛我、守我誡命的，我必向他們發慈愛，直到千代。

11 You shall not take the name of the LORD your God in vain, for the LORD will not leave anyone unpunished who takes His name in vain.

11 「『不可妄稱耶和華－你上帝的名；因為妄稱耶和華名的，耶和華必不以他為無罪。

12 Observe the Sabbath day by keeping it holy, as the LORD your God has commanded you.

12 「『當照耶和華－你上帝所吩咐的守安息日為聖日。

13 Six days you shall labor and do all your work,

13 六日要勞碌做你一切的工，

14 but the seventh day is a Sabbath to the LORD your God, on which you must not do any work—neither you, nor your son or daughter, nor your manservant or maidservant, nor your ox or donkey or any of your livestock, nor the foreigner within your gates, so that your manservant and maidservant may rest as you do.

14 但第七日是向耶和華－你上帝當守的安息日。這一日，你和你的兒女、僕婢、牛、驢、牲畜，並在你城裏寄居的客旅，無論何工都不可做，使你的僕婢可以和你一樣安息。

15 Remember that you were a slave in the land of Egypt, and that the LORD your God brought you out of there with a mighty hand and an outstretched arm. That is why the LORD your God has commanded you to keep the Sabbath day.

15 你也要記念你在埃及地作過奴僕；耶和華－你上帝用大能的手和伸出來的膀臂將你從那裏領出來。因此，耶和華－你的上帝吩咐你守安息日。

16 Honor your father and your mother, as the LORD your God has commanded you, so that your days may be long and that it may go well with you in the land that the LORD your God is giving you.

16 「『當照耶和華－你上帝所吩咐的孝敬父母，使你得福，並使你的日子在耶和華－你上帝所賜你的地上得以長久。

17 You shall not murder.

17 「『不可殺人。

18 You shall not commit adultery.

18 「『不可姦淫。

19 You shall not steal.

19 「『不可偷盜。

20 You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.

20 「『不可作假見證陷害人。

21 You shall not covet your neighbor’s wife. You shall not covet your neighbor’s house or field, or his manservant or maidservant, or his ox or donkey, or anything that belongs to your neighbor.”

21 「『不可貪戀人的妻子；也不可貪圖人的房屋、田地、僕婢、牛、驢，並他一切所有的。』

22 The LORD spoke these commandments in a loud voice to your whole assembly out of the fire, the cloud, and the deep darkness on the mountain; He added nothing more. And He wrote them on two tablets of stone and gave them to me.

22 「這些話是耶和華在山上，從火中、雲中、幽暗中，大聲曉諭你們全會眾的；此外並沒有添別的話。他就把這話寫在兩塊石版上，交給我了。」

23 And when you heard the voice out of the darkness while the mountain was blazing with fire, all the heads of your tribes and your elders approached me,

23 「那時，火焰燒山，你們聽見從黑暗中出來的聲音；你們支派中所有的首領和長老都來就近我，

24 and you said, “Behold, the LORD our God has shown us His glory and greatness, and we have heard His voice out of the fire. Today we have seen that a man can live even if God speaks with him.

24 說：『看哪，耶和華－我們上帝將他的榮光和他的大能顯給我們看，我們又聽見他的聲音從火中出來。今日我們得見上帝與人說話，人還存活。

25 But now, why should we die? For this great fire will consume us, and we will die, if we hear the voice of the LORD our God any longer.

25 現在這大火將要燒滅我們，我們何必冒死呢？若再聽見耶和華－我們上帝的聲音就必死亡。

26 For who of all flesh has heard the voice of the living God speaking out of the fire, as we have, and survived?

26 凡屬血氣的，曾有何人聽見永生上帝的聲音從火中出來，像我們聽見還能存活呢？

27 Go near and listen to all that the LORD our God says. Then you can tell us everything the LORD our God tells you; we will listen and obey.”

27 求你近前去，聽耶和華－我們上帝所要說的一切話，將他對你說的話都傳給我們，我們就聽從遵行。』

28 And the LORD heard the words you spoke to me, and He said to me, “I have heard the words that these people have spoken to you. They have done well in all that they have spoken.

28 「你們對我說的話，耶和華都聽見了。耶和華對我說：『這百姓的話，我聽見了；他們所說的都是。

29 If only they had such a heart to fear Me and keep all My commandments always, so that it might be well with them and with their children forever.

29 惟願他們存這樣的心敬畏我，常遵守我的一切誡命，使他們和他們的子孫永遠得福。

30 Go and tell them: ‘Return to your tents.’

30 你去對他們說：你們回帳棚去吧！

31 But you stand here with Me, that I may speak to you all the commandments and statutes and ordinances you are to teach them to follow in the land that I am giving them to possess.”

31 至於你，可以站在我這裏，我要將一切誡命、律例、典章傳給你；你要教訓他們，使他們在我賜他們為業的地上遵行。』

32 So be careful to do as the LORD your God has commanded you; you are not to turn aside to the right or to the left.

32 所以，你們要照耶和華－你們上帝所吩咐的謹守遵行，不可偏離左右。

33 You must walk in all the ways that the LORD your God has commanded you, so that you may live and prosper and prolong your days in the land that you will possess.

33 耶和華－你們上帝所吩咐你們行的，你們都要去行，使你們可以存活得福，並使你們的日子在所要承受的地上得以長久。」
