摩西陈明律法的时间和地点

⁴⁴摩西在以色列人面前所陈明的律法—This is the law that Moses set before the Israelites.

⁴⁵就是摩西在以色列人出埃及后所传给他们的法度、律例、典章；These are the testimonies, statutes, and ordinances that Moses proclaimed to them after they had come out of Egypt,

⁴⁶在约旦河东伯·毗珥对面的谷中，在住希实本、亚摩利王西宏之地；这西宏是摩西和以色列人出埃及后所击杀的。while they were in the valley across the Jordan facing Beth-peor in the land of Sihon king of the Amorites, who lived in Heshbon and was defeated by Moses and the Israelites after they had come out of Egypt.

⁴⁷他们得了他的地，又得了巴珊王噩的地，就是两个亚摩利王，在约旦河东向日出之地。They took possession of the land belonging to Sihon and to Og king of Bashan—the two Amorite kings across the Jordan to the east—

⁴⁸从亚嫩谷边的亚罗珥，直到西云山，就是黑门山。extending from Aroer on the rim of the Arnon Valley as far as Mount Siyon (that is, Hermon),

⁴⁹还有约旦河东的全亚拉巴，直到亚拉巴海，靠近毗斯迦山根。including all the Arabah on the east side of the Jordan and as far as the Sea of the Arabah, below the slopes of Pisgah.

神在何烈山与我们立约

¹摩西将以色列众人召了来，对他们说：“以色列人哪，我今日晓谕你们的律例典章，你们要听，可以学习，谨守遵行。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.

²耶和华—我们的　神在何烈山与我们立约。The LORD our God made a covenant with us at Horeb.

³这约不是与我们列祖立的，乃是与我们今日在这里存活之人立的。He did not make this covenant with our fathers, but with all of us who are alive here today.

⁴耶和华在山上，从火中，面对面与你们说话—The LORD spoke with you face to face out of the fire on the mountain.

⁵那时我站在耶和华和你们中间，要将耶和华的话传给你们；因为你们惧怕那火，没有上山—说：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:

十诫：敬拜独一的神

⁶“‘我是耶和华—你的　神，曾将你从埃及地为奴之家领出来。“I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery.

⁷“‘除了我以外，你不可有别的神。You shall have no other gods before Me.

⁸“‘不可为自己雕刻偶像，也不可做什么形象，仿佛上天、下地和地底下、水中的百物。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.

⁹不可跪拜那些像，也不可事奉它，因为我耶和华—你的　神是忌邪的　神。恨我的，我必追讨他的罪，自父及子，直到三、四代；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,

¹⁰爱我、守我诫命的，我必向他们发慈爱，直到千代。but showing loving devotion to a thousand generations of those who love Me and keep My commandments.

¹¹“‘不可妄称耶和华—你　神的名；因为妄称耶和华名的，耶和华必不以他为无罪。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.

¹²“‘当照耶和华—你　神所吩咐的守安息日为圣日。Observe the Sabbath day by keeping it holy, as the LORD your God has commanded you.

¹³六日要劳碌做你一切的工，Six days you shall labor and do all your work,

¹⁴但第七日是向耶和华—你　神当守的安息日。这一日，你和你的儿女、仆婢、牛、驴、牲畜，并在你城里寄居的客旅，无论何工都不可做，使你的仆婢可以和你一样安息。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.

¹⁵你也要记念你在埃及地作过奴仆；耶和华—你　神用大能的手和伸出来的膀臂将你从那里领出来。因此，耶和华—你的　神吩咐你守安息日。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.

十诫：怎样对待人

¹⁶“‘当照耶和华—你　神所吩咐的孝敬父母，使你得福，并使你的日子在耶和华—你　神所赐你的地上得以长久。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.

百姓惧怕，请摩西居中传话

²²“这些话是耶和华在山上，从火中、云中、幽暗中，大声晓谕你们全会众的；此外并没有添别的话。他就把这话写在两块石版上，交给我了。”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.

²³“那时，火焰烧山，你们听见从黑暗中出来的声音；你们支派中所有的首领和长老都来就近我，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,

²⁴说：‘看哪，耶和华—我们　神将他的荣光和他的大能显给我们看，我们又听见他的声音从火中出来。今日我们得见　神与人说话，人还存活。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.

²⁵现在这大火将要烧灭我们，我们何必冒死呢？若再听见耶和华—我们　神的声音就必死亡。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.

²⁶凡属血气的，曾有何人听见永生　神的声音从火中出来，像我们听见还能存活呢？For who of all flesh has heard the voice of the living God speaking out of the fire, as we have, and survived?

²⁷求你近前去，听耶和华—我们　神所要说的一切话，将他对你说的话都传给我们，我们就听从遵行。’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.”

²⁸“你们对我说的话，耶和华都听见了。耶和华对我说：‘这百姓的话，我听见了；他们所说的都是。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.

²⁹惟愿他们存这样的心敬畏我，常遵守我的一切诫命，使他们和他们的子孙永远得福。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.

³⁰你去对他们说：你们回帐棚去吧！Go and tell them: ‘Return to your tents.’

³¹至于你，可以站在我这里，我要将一切诫命、律例、典章传给你；你要教训他们，使他们在我赐他们为业的地上遵行。’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.”

³²所以，你们要照耶和华—你们　神所吩咐的谨守遵行，不可偏离左右。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.

³³耶和华—你们　神所吩咐你们行的，你们都要去行，使你们可以存活得福，并使你们的日子在所要承受的地上得以长久。”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.

敬畏神，日子得以长久

¹“这是耶和华—你们　神所吩咐教训你们的诫命、律例、典章，使你们在所要过去得为业的地上遵行，These are the commandments and statutes and ordinances that the LORD your God has instructed me to teach you to follow in the land that you are about to enter and possess,

²好叫你和你子子孙孙一生敬畏耶和华—你的　神，谨守他的一切律例诫命，就是我所吩咐你的，使你的日子得以长久。so that you and your children and grandchildren may fear the LORD your God all the days of your lives by keeping all His statutes and commandments that I give you, and so that your days may be prolonged.

³以色列啊，你要听，要谨守遵行，使你可以在那流奶与蜜之地得以享福，人数极其增多，正如耶和华—你列祖的　神所应许你的。Hear, O Israel, and be careful to observe them, so that you may prosper and multiply greatly in a land flowing with milk and honey, just as the LORD, the God of your fathers, has promised you.

尽心、尽性、尽力爱神

⁴“以色列啊，你要听！耶和华—我们　神是独一的主。Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God, the LORD is One.

⁵你要尽心、尽性、尽力爱耶和华—你的　神。And you shall love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength.

吃饱了，不可忘记神

¹⁰“耶和华—你的　神领你进他向你列祖亚伯拉罕、以撒、雅各起誓应许给你的地。那里有城邑，又大又美，非你所建造的；And when the LORD your God brings you into the land He swore to your fathers, to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, that He would give you—a land with great and splendid cities that you did not build,

¹¹有房屋，装满各样美物，非你所装满的；有凿成的水井，非你所凿成的；还有葡萄园、橄榄园，非你所栽种的；你吃了而且饱足。with houses full of every good thing with which you did not fill them, with wells that you did not dig, and with vineyards and olive groves that you did not plant—and when you eat and are satisfied,

¹²那时你要谨慎，免得你忘记将你从埃及地、为奴之家领出来的耶和华。be careful not to forget the LORD who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery.

¹³你要敬畏耶和华—你的　神，事奉他，指着他的名起誓。Fear the LORD your God, serve Him only, and take your oaths in His name.

²¹你就告诉你的儿子说：‘我们在埃及作过法老的奴仆；耶和华用大能的手将我们从埃及领出来，then you are to tell him, “We were slaves of Pharaoh in Egypt, but the LORD brought us out of Egypt with a mighty hand.

²²在我们眼前，将重大可怕的神迹奇事施行在埃及地和法老并他全家的身上，Before our eyes the LORD inflicted great and devastating signs and wonders on Egypt, on Pharaoh, and on all his household.

²³将我们从那里领出来，要领我们进入他向我们列祖起誓应许之地，把这地赐给我们。But He brought us out from there to lead us in and give us the land that He had sworn to our fathers.

²⁴耶和华又吩咐我们遵行这一切律例，要敬畏耶和华—我们的　神，使我们常得好处，蒙他保全我们的生命，像今日一样。And the LORD commanded us to observe all these statutes and to fear the LORD our God, that we may always be prosperous and preserved, as we are to this day.

²耶和华—你　神将他们交给你击杀，那时你要把他们灭绝净尽，不可与他们立约，也不可怜恤他们。and when the LORD your God has delivered them over to you to defeat them, then you must devote them to complete destruction. Make no treaty with them and show them no mercy.

³不可与他们结亲。不可将你的女儿嫁他们的儿子，也不可叫你的儿子娶他们的女儿；Do not intermarry with them. Do not give your daughters to their sons or take their daughters for your sons,

⁴因为他必使你儿子转离不跟从主，去事奉别神，以致耶和华的怒气向你们发作，就速速地将你们灭绝。because they will turn your sons away from following Me to serve other gods. Then the anger of the LORD will burn against you, and He will swiftly destroy you.

⁵你们却要这样待他们：拆毁他们的祭坛，打碎他们的柱像，砍下他们的木偶，用火焚烧他们雕刻的偶像。Instead, this is what you are to do to them: tear down their altars, smash their sacred pillars, cut down their Asherah poles, and burn their idols in the fire.

撒迦利亚和伊利莎白

⁵当犹太王希律的时候，亚比雅班里有一个祭司，名叫撒迦利亚；他妻子是亚伦的后人，名叫伊利莎白。In the time of Herod king of Judea there was a priest named Zechariah, who belonged to the priestly division of Abijah, and whose wife Elizabeth was a descendant of Aaron.

⁶他们二人在　神面前都是义人，遵行主的一切诫命礼仪，没有可指摘的，Both of them were righteous in the sight of God, walking blamelessly in all the commandments and decrees of the Lord.

⁷只是没有孩子；因为伊利莎白不生育，两个人又年纪老迈了。But they had no children, because Elizabeth was barren, and they were both well along in years.

天使在圣殿向撒迦利亚显现

⁸撒迦利亚按班次在　神面前供祭司的职分，One day while Zechariah’s division was on duty and he was serving as priest before God,

⁹照祭司的规矩掣签，得进主殿烧香。he was chosen by lot, according to the custom of the priesthood, to enter the temple of the Lord and burn incense.

¹⁰烧香的时候，众百姓在外面祷告。And at the hour of the incense offering, the whole congregation was praying outside.

¹¹有主的使者站在香坛的右边，向他显现。Just then an angel of the Lord appeared to Zechariah, standing at the right side of the altar of incense.

¹²撒迦利亚看见，就惊慌害怕。When Zechariah saw him, he was startled and gripped with fear.

¹³天使对他说：“撒迦利亚，不要害怕，因为你的祈祷已经被听见了。你的妻子伊利莎白要给你生一个儿子，你要给他起名叫约翰。But the angel said to him, “Do not be afraid, Zechariah, because your prayer has been heard. Your wife Elizabeth will bear you a son, and you are to give him the name John.

¹⁴你必欢喜快乐；有许多人因他出世，也必喜乐。He will be a joy and delight to you, and many will rejoice at his birth,

¹⁵他在主面前将要为大，淡酒浓酒都不喝，从母腹里就被圣灵充满了。for he will be great in the sight of the Lord. He shall never take wine or strong drink, and he will be filled with the Holy Spirit even from his mother’s womb.

¹⁶他要使许多以色列人回转，归于主—他们的　神。Many of the sons of Israel he will turn back to the Lord their God.

¹⁷他必有以利亚的心志能力，行在主的前面，叫为父的心转向儿女，叫悖逆的人转从义人的智慧，又为主预备合用的百姓。”And he will go on before the Lord in the spirit and power of Elijah, to turn the hearts of the fathers to their children and the disobedient to the wisdom of the righteous—to make ready a people prepared for the Lord.”

撒迦利亚不信，成了哑巴

¹⁸撒迦利亚对天使说：“我凭着什么可知道这事呢？我已经老了，我的妻子也年纪老迈了。”“How can I be sure of this?” Zechariah asked the angel. “I am an old man, and my wife is well along in years.”

¹⁹天使回答说：“我是站在　神面前的加百列，奉差而来对你说话，将这好信息报给你。“I am Gabriel,” replied the angel. “I stand in the presence of God, and I have been sent to speak to you and to bring you this good news.

²⁰到了时候，这话必然应验；只因你不信，你必哑巴，不能说话，直到这事成就的日子。”And now you will be silent and unable to speak until the day this comes to pass, because you did not believe my words, which will be fulfilled at their proper time.”

²¹百姓等候撒迦利亚，诧异他许久在殿里。Meanwhile, the people were waiting for Zechariah and wondering why he took so long in the temple.

²²及至他出来，不能和他们说话，他们就知道他在殿里见了异象；因为他直向他们打手式，竟成了哑巴。When he came out and was unable to speak to them, they realized he had seen a vision in the temple. He kept making signs to them but remained unable to speak.

²³他供职的日子已满，就回家去了。And when the days of his service were complete, he returned home.

伊利莎白怀孕

²⁴这些日子以后，他的妻子伊利莎白怀了孕，就隐藏了五个月，After these days, his wife Elizabeth became pregnant and for five months remained in seclusion. She declared,

²⁵说：“主在眷顾我的日子，这样看待我，要把我在人间的羞耻除掉。”“The Lord has done this for me. In these days He has shown me favor and taken away my disgrace among the people.”
