不聽從的後果

¹⁴「你們若不聽從我，不遵行我的誡命，If, however, you fail to obey Me and to carry out all these commandments,

¹⁵厭棄我的律例，厭惡我的典章，不遵行我一切的誡命，背棄我的約，and if you reject My statutes, despise My ordinances, and neglect to carry out all My commandments, and so break My covenant,

¹⁶我待你們就要這樣：我必命定驚惶，叫眼目乾癟、精神消耗的癆病熱病轄制你們。你們也要白白地撒種，因為仇敵要吃你們所種的。then this is what I will do to you: I will bring upon you sudden terror, wasting disease, and fever that will destroy your sight and drain your life. You will sow your seed in vain, because your enemies will eat it.

¹⁷我要向你們變臉，你們就要敗在仇敵面前。恨惡你們的，必轄管你們；無人追趕，你們卻要逃跑。And I will set My face against you, so that you will be defeated by your enemies. Those who hate you will rule over you, and you will flee when no one pursues you.

加七倍的懲罰

¹⁸你們因這些事若還不聽從我，我就要為你們的罪加七倍懲罰你們。And if after all this you will not obey Me, I will proceed to punish you sevenfold for your sins.

¹⁹我必斷絕你們因勢力而有的驕傲，又要使覆你們的天如鐵，載你們的地如銅。I will break down your stubborn pride and make your sky like iron and your land like bronze,

²⁰你們要白白地勞力；因為你們的地不出土產，其上的樹木也不結果子。and your strength will be spent in vain. For your land will not yield its produce, and the trees of the land will not bear their fruit.

²¹「你們行事若與我反對，不肯聽從我，我就要按你們的罪加七倍降災與你們。If you walk in hostility toward Me and refuse to obey Me, I will multiply your plagues seven times, according to your sins.

²²我也要打發野地的走獸到你們中間，搶吃你們的兒女，吞滅你們的牲畜，使你們的人數減少，道路荒涼。I will send wild animals against you to rob you of your children, destroy your livestock, and reduce your numbers, until your roads lie desolate.

²³「你們因這些事若仍不改正歸我，行事與我反對，And if in spite of these things you do not accept My discipline, but continue to walk in hostility toward Me,

²⁴我就要行事與你們反對，因你們的罪擊打你們七次。then I will act with hostility toward you, and I will strike you sevenfold for your sins.

²⁵我又要使刀劍臨到你們，報復你們背約的仇；聚集你們在各城內，降瘟疫在你們中間，也必將你們交在仇敵的手中。And I will bring a sword against you to execute the vengeance of the covenant. Though you withdraw into your cities, I will send a plague among you, and you will be delivered into the hand of the enemy.

²⁶我要折斷你們的杖，就是斷絕你們的糧。那時，必有十個女人在一個爐子給你們烤餅，按分量秤給你們；你們要吃，也吃不飽。When I cut off your supply of bread, ten women will bake your bread in a single oven and dole out your bread by weight, so that you will eat but not be satisfied.

城邑荒涼，被分散到列邦

²⁷「你們因這一切的事若不聽從我，卻行事與我反對，But if in spite of all this you do not obey Me, but continue to walk in hostility toward Me,

²⁸我就要發烈怒，行事與你們反對，又因你們的罪懲罰你們七次。then I will walk in fury against you, and I, even I, will punish you sevenfold for your sins.

²⁹並且你們要吃兒子的肉，也要吃女兒的肉。You will eat the flesh of your own sons and daughters.

³⁰我又要毀壞你們的邱壇，砍下你們的日像，把你們的屍首扔在你們偶像的身上；我的心也必厭惡你們。I will destroy your high places, cut down your incense altars, and heap your lifeless bodies on the lifeless remains of your idols; and My soul will despise you.

³¹我要使你們的城邑變為荒涼，使你們的眾聖所成為荒場；我也不聞你們馨香的香氣。I will reduce your cities to rubble and lay waste your sanctuaries, and I will refuse to smell the pleasing aroma of your sacrifices.

³²我要使地成為荒場，住在其上的仇敵就因此詫異。And I will lay waste the land, so that your enemies who dwell in it will be appalled.

³³我要把你們散在列邦中；我也要拔刀追趕你們。你們的地要成為荒場；你們的城邑要變為荒涼。But I will scatter you among the nations and will draw out a sword after you as your land becomes desolate and your cities are laid waste.

地要享受安息，剩下的人心驚膽怯

³⁴「你們在仇敵之地居住的時候，你們的地荒涼，要享受眾安息；正在那時候，地要歇息，享受安息。Then the land shall enjoy its Sabbaths all the days it lies desolate, while you are in the land of your enemies. At that time the land will rest and enjoy its Sabbaths.

³⁵地多時為荒場，就要多時歇息；地這樣歇息，是你們住在其上的安息年所不能得的。As long as it lies desolate, the land will have the rest it did not receive during the Sabbaths when you lived in it.

³⁶至於你們剩下的人，我要使他們在仇敵之地心驚膽怯。葉子被風吹的響聲，要追趕他們；他們要逃避，像人逃避刀劍，無人追趕，卻要跌倒。As for those of you who survive, I will send a faintness into their hearts in the lands of their enemies, so that even the sound of a windblown leaf will put them to flight. And they will flee as one flees the sword, and fall when no one pursues them.

³⁷無人追趕，他們要彼此撞跌，像在刀劍之前。你們在仇敵面前也必站立不住。They will stumble over one another as before the sword, though no one is behind them. So you will not be able to stand against your enemies.

³⁸你們要在列邦中滅亡；仇敵之地要吞吃你們。You will perish among the nations, and the land of your enemies will consume you.

³⁹你們剩下的人必因自己的罪孽和祖宗的罪孽在仇敵之地消滅。Those of you who survive in the lands of your enemies will waste away in their iniquity and will decay in the sins of their fathers.

承認罪孽，神記念所立的約

⁴⁰「他們要承認自己的罪和他們祖宗的罪，就是干犯我的那罪，並且承認自己行事與我反對，But if they will confess their iniquity and that of their fathers in the unfaithfulness that they practiced against Me, by which they have also walked in hostility toward Me—

⁴¹我所以行事與他們反對，把他們帶到仇敵之地。那時，他們未受割禮的心若謙卑了，他們也服了罪孽的刑罰，and I acted with hostility toward them and brought them into the land of their enemies—and if their uncircumcised hearts will be humbled and they will make amends for their iniquity,

⁴²我就要記念我與雅各所立的約，與以撒所立的約，與亞伯拉罕所立的約，並要記念這地。then I will remember My covenant with Jacob and My covenant with Isaac and My covenant with Abraham, and I will remember the land.

⁴³他們離開這地，地在荒廢無人的時候就要享受安息。並且他們要服罪孽的刑罰；因為他們厭棄了我的典章，心中厭惡了我的律例。For the land will be abandoned by them, and it will enjoy its Sabbaths by lying desolate without them. And they will pay the penalty for their iniquity, because they rejected My ordinances and abhorred My statutes.

⁴⁴雖是這樣，他們在仇敵之地，我卻不厭棄他們，也不厭惡他們，將他們盡行滅絕，也不背棄我與他們所立的約，因為我是耶和華─他們的　神。Yet in spite of this, when they are in the land of their enemies, I will not reject or despise them so as to destroy them and break My covenant with them; for I am the LORD their God.

⁴⁵我卻要為他們的緣故記念我與他們先祖所立的約。他們的先祖是我在列邦人眼前、從埃及地領出來的，為要作他們的　神。我是耶和華。」But for their sake I will remember the covenant with their fathers, whom I brought out of the land of Egypt in the sight of the nations, that I might be their God. I am the LORD.”

⁴⁶這些律例、典章，和法度是耶和華與以色列人在西奈山藉著摩西立的。These are the statutes, ordinances, and laws that the LORD established between Himself and the Israelites through Moses on Mount Sinai.

許願奉獻人的估價

¹耶和華對摩西說：Then the LORD said to Moses,

²「你曉諭以色列人說：人還特許的願，被許的人要按你所估的價值歸給耶和華。“Speak to the Israelites and say to them, ‘When someone makes a special vow to the LORD involving the value of persons,

³你估定的，從二十歲到六十歲的男人，要按聖所的平，估定價銀五十舍客勒。if the valuation concerns a male from twenty to sixty years of age, then your valuation shall be fifty shekels of silver, according to the sanctuary shekel.

⁴若是女人，你要估定三十舍客勒。Or if it is a female, then your valuation shall be thirty shekels.

⁵若是從五歲到二十歲，男子你要估定二十舍客勒，女子估定十舍客勒。And if the person is from five to twenty years of age, then your valuation for the male shall be twenty shekels, and for the female ten shekels.

⁶若是從一月到五歲，男子你要估定五舍客勒，女子估定三舍客勒。Now if the person is from one month to five years of age, then your valuation for the male shall be five shekels of silver, and for the female three shekels of silver.

⁷若是從六十歲以上，男人你要估定十五舍客勒，女人估定十舍客勒。And if the person is sixty years of age or older, then your valuation shall be fifteen shekels for the male and ten shekels for the female.

⁸他若貧窮，不能照你所估定的價，就要把他帶到祭司面前，祭司要按許願人的力量估定他的價。But if the one making the vow is too poor to pay the valuation, he is to present the person before the priest, who shall set the value according to what the one making the vow can afford.

奉獻牲畜

⁹「所許的若是牲畜，就是人獻給耶和華為供物的，凡這一類獻給耶和華的，都要成為聖。If he vows an animal that may be brought as an offering to the LORD, any such animal given to the LORD shall be holy.

¹⁰人不可改換，也不可更換，或是好的換壞的，或是壞的換好的。若以牲畜更換牲畜，所許的與所換的都要成為聖。He must not replace it or exchange it, either good for bad or bad for good. But if he does substitute one animal for another, both that animal and its substitute will be holy.

¹¹若牲畜不潔淨，是不可獻給耶和華為供物的，就要把牲畜安置在祭司面前。But if the vow involves any of the unclean animals that may not be brought as an offering to the LORD, the animal must be presented before the priest.

¹²祭司就要估定價值；牲畜是好是壞，祭司怎樣估定，就要以怎樣為是。The priest shall set its value, whether high or low; as the priest values it, the price will be set.

¹³他若一定要贖回，就要在你所估定的價值以外加上五分之一。If, however, the owner decides to redeem the animal, he must add a fifth to its value.

奉獻房屋

¹⁴「人將房屋分別為聖，歸給耶和華，祭司就要估定價值。房屋是好是壞，祭司怎樣估定，就要以怎樣為定。Now if a man consecrates his house as holy to the LORD, then the priest shall value it either as good or bad. The price will stand just as the priest values it.

¹⁵將房屋分別為聖的人，若要贖回房屋，就必在你所估定的價值以外加上五分之一，房屋仍舊歸他。But if he who consecrated his house redeems it, he must add a fifth to the assessed value, and it will belong to him.

奉獻田地

¹⁶「人若將承受為業的幾分地分別為聖，歸給耶和華，你要按這地撒種多少估定價值，若撒大麥一賀梅珥，要估價五十舍客勒。If a man consecrates to the LORD a parcel of his land, then your valuation shall be proportional to the seed required for it—fifty shekels of silver for every homer of barley seed.

¹⁷他若從禧年將地分別為聖，就要以你所估定的價為定。If he consecrates his field during the Year of Jubilee, the price will stand according to your valuation.

¹⁸倘若他在禧年以後將地分別為聖，祭司就要按著未到禧年所剩的年數推算價值，也要從你所估的減去價值。But if he consecrates his field after the Jubilee, the priest is to calculate the price in proportion to the years left until the next Year of Jubilee, so that your valuation will be reduced.

¹⁹將地分別為聖的人若定要把地贖回，他便要在你所估的價值以外加上五分之一，地就准定歸他。And if the one who consecrated the field decides to redeem it, he must add a fifth to the assessed value, and it shall belong to him.

²⁰他若不贖回那地，或是將地賣給別人，就再不能贖了。If, however, he does not redeem the field, or if he has sold it to another man, it may no longer be redeemed.

²¹但到了禧年，那地從買主手下出來的時候，就要歸耶和華為聖，和永獻的地一樣，要歸祭司為業。When the field is released in the Jubilee, it will become holy, like a field devoted to the LORD; it becomes the property of the priests.

²²他若將所買的一塊地，不是承受為業的，分別為聖歸給耶和華，Now if a man consecrates to the LORD a field he has purchased, which is not a part of his own property,

²³祭司就要將你所估的價值給他推算到禧年。當日，他要以你所估的價銀為聖，歸給耶和華。then the priest shall calculate for him the value up to the Year of Jubilee, and the man shall pay the assessed value on that day as a sacred offering to the LORD.

²⁴到了禧年，那地要歸賣主，就是那承受為業的原主。In the Year of Jubilee the field shall return to the one from whom it was bought—the original owner of the land.

²⁵凡你所估定的價銀都要按著聖所的平：二十季拉為一舍客勒。Every valuation will be according to the sanctuary shekel, twenty gerahs to the shekel.

頭生的與永獻的

²⁶「惟獨牲畜中頭生的，無論是牛是羊，既歸耶和華，誰也不可再分別為聖，因為這是耶和華的。But no one may consecrate a firstborn of the livestock, because a firstborn belongs to the LORD. Whether it is an ox or a sheep, it is the LORD’s.

²⁷若是不潔淨的牲畜生的，就要按你所估定的價值加上五分之一贖回；若不贖回，就要按你所估定的價值賣了。But if it is among the unclean animals, then he may redeem it according to your valuation and add a fifth of its value. If it is not redeemed, then it shall be sold according to your valuation.

²⁸「但一切永獻的，就是人從他所有永獻給耶和華的，無論是人，是牲畜，是他承受為業的地，都不可賣，也不可贖。凡永獻的是歸給耶和華為至聖。Nothing that a man sets apart to the LORD from all he owns—whether a man, an animal, or his inherited land—can be sold or redeemed; everything so devoted is most holy to the LORD.

²⁹凡從人中當滅的都不可贖，必被治死。」No person set apart for destruction may be ransomed; he must surely be put to death.

十分之一歸耶和華

³⁰「地上所有的，無論是地上的種子是樹上的果子，十分之一是耶和華的，是歸給耶和華為聖的。Thus any tithe from the land, whether from the seed of the land or the fruit of the trees, belongs to the LORD; it is holy to the LORD.

³¹人若要贖這十分之一的甚麼物，就要加上五分之一。If a man wishes to redeem part of his tithe, he must add a fifth to its value.

³²凡牛群羊群中，一切從杖下經過的，每第十隻要歸給耶和華為聖。Every tenth animal from the herd or flock that passes under the shepherd’s rod will be holy to the LORD.

³³不可問是好是壞，也不可更換；若定要更換，所更換的與本來的牲畜都要成為聖，不可贖回。」He must not inspect whether it is good or bad, and he shall not make any substitution. But if he does make a substitution, both the animal and its substitute shall become holy; they cannot be redeemed.’”

³⁴這就是耶和華在西奈山為以色列人所吩咐摩西的命令。These are the commandments that the LORD gave to Moses for the Israelites on Mount Sinai.

平靜風和海

³⁵當那天晚上，耶穌對門徒說：「我們渡到那邊去吧。」When that evening came, He said to His disciples, “Let us cross to the other side.”

³⁶門徒離開眾人，耶穌仍在船上，他們就把他一同帶去；也有別的船和他同行。After they had dismissed the crowd, they took Jesus with them, since He was already in the boat. And there were other boats with Him.

³⁷忽然起了暴風，波浪打入船內，甚至船要滿了水。Soon a violent windstorm came up, and the waves were breaking over the boat, so that it was being swamped.

³⁸耶穌在船尾上，枕著枕頭睡覺。門徒叫醒了他，說：「夫子！我們喪命，你不顧嗎？」But Jesus was in the stern, sleeping on the cushion. So they woke Him and said, “Teacher, don’t You care that we are perishing?”

³⁹耶穌醒了，斥責風，向海說：「住了吧！靜了吧！」風就止住，大大地平靜了。Then Jesus got up and rebuked the wind and the sea. “Silence!” He commanded. “Be still!” And the wind died down, and it was perfectly calm.

⁴⁰耶穌對他們說：「為甚麼膽怯？你們還沒有信心嗎？」“Why are you so afraid?” He asked. “Do you still have no faith?”

⁴¹他們就大大地懼怕，彼此說：「這到底是誰，連風和海也聽從他了。」Overwhelmed with fear, they asked one another, “Who is this, that even the wind and the sea obey Him?”

被污鬼附著的人

¹他們來到海那邊格拉森人的地方。On the other side of the sea, they arrived in the region of the Gerasenes.

²耶穌一下船，就有一個被污鬼附著的人從墳塋裡出來迎著他。As soon as Jesus got out of the boat, He was met by a man with an unclean spirit, who was coming from the tombs.

³那人常住在墳塋裡，沒有人能捆住他，就是用鐵鍊也不能；This man had been living in the tombs and could no longer be restrained, even with chains.

⁴因為人屢次用腳鐐和鐵鍊捆鎖他，鐵鍊竟被他掙斷了，腳鐐也被他弄碎了；總沒有人能制伏他。Though he was often bound with chains and shackles, he had broken the chains and shattered the shackles. Now there was no one with the strength to subdue him.

⁵他晝夜常在墳塋裡和山中喊叫，又用石頭砍自己。Night and day in the tombs and in the mountains he kept crying out and cutting himself with stones.

鬼附的人跑來拜耶穌，鬼名叫群

⁶他遠遠地看見耶穌，就跑過去拜他，When the man saw Jesus from a distance, he ran and fell on his knees before Him.

⁷大聲呼叫說：「至高　神的兒子耶穌，我與你有甚麼相干？我指著　神懇求你，不要叫我受苦！」And he shouted in a loud voice, “What do You want with me, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I beg You before God not to torture me!”

⁸是因耶穌曾吩咐他說：「污鬼啊，從這人身上出來吧！」For Jesus had already declared, “Come out of this man, you unclean spirit!”

⁹耶穌問他說：「你名叫甚麼？」回答說：「我名叫『群』，因為我們多的緣故」；“What is your name?” Jesus asked. “My name is Legion,” he replied, “for we are many.”

¹⁰就再三地求耶穌，不要叫他們離開那地方。And he begged Jesus repeatedly not to send them out of that region.

鬼進入豬群

¹¹在那裡山坡上，有一大群豬吃食；There on the nearby hillside a large herd of pigs was feeding.

¹²鬼就央求耶穌說：「求你打發我們往豬群裡，附著豬去。」So the demons begged Jesus, “Send us to the pigs, so that we may enter them.”

¹³耶穌准了他們，污鬼就出來，進入豬裡去。於是那群豬闖下山崖，投在海裡，淹死了。豬的數目約有二千。He gave them permission, and the unclean spirits came out and went into the pigs, and the herd of about two thousand rushed down the steep bank into the sea and drowned in the water.

¹⁵他們來到耶穌那裡，看見那被鬼附著的人，就是從前被群鬼所附的，坐著，穿上衣服，心裡明白過來，他們就害怕。When they came to Jesus, they saw the man who had been possessed by the legion of demons sitting there, clothed and in his right mind; and they were afraid.

¹⁶看見這事的，便將鬼附之人所遇見的和那群豬的事都告訴了眾人；Those who had seen it described what had happened to the demon-possessed man and also to the pigs.

回家傳揚主的作為

¹⁹耶穌不許，卻對他說：「你回家去，到你的親屬那裡，將主為你所做的是何等大的事，是怎樣憐憫你，都告訴他們。」But Jesus would not allow him. “Go home to your own people,” He said, “and tell them how much the Lord has done for you, and what mercy He has shown you.”

²⁰那人就走了，在低加坡里傳揚耶穌為他做了何等大的事，眾人就都希奇。So the man went away and began to proclaim throughout the Decapolis how much Jesus had done for him. And everyone was amazed.
