申命記 29
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Traditional)
在摩押立約
29 耶和華除了與以色列人在何烈山立約外,還在摩押吩咐摩西與以色列人立以下的約。
2 摩西召來所有以色列人,對他們說:「你們曾親眼見過耶和華在埃及怎樣對付法老及其臣僕和國民, 3 怎樣降下巨大的災難,行偉大的神蹟奇事。 4 但耶和華至今還沒有賜給你們能明白的心、能看見的眼、能聽清的耳。 5 四十年來,我領你們走過曠野,你們身上的衣服沒有穿破,腳上的鞋子沒有穿壞; 6 你們沒有吃餅,也沒有喝淡酒和烈酒。這是為了讓你們知道耶和華是你們的上帝。 7 我們來到這裡的時候,希實本王西宏和巴珊王噩都來攻擊我們,我們擊敗了他們, 8 並將佔領的土地分給呂便支派、迦得支派和瑪拿西半個支派作產業。 9 所以,你們要謹遵這約上的話,以便你們可以凡事順利。
10 「今天,你們全都站在你們的上帝耶和華面前,包括你們的族長、長老、官員、所有以色列男子、 11 你們的孩子、妻子和寄居在你們中間為你們砍柴挑水的外族人, 12 為要接受你們的上帝耶和華與你們立的誓約。 13 這樣,祂今天將宣告你們是祂的子民、祂是你們的上帝,正如祂對你們的應許和對你們祖先亞伯拉罕、以撒和雅各的誓言。 14 耶和華的這誓約不僅是與你們立的, 15 也是與今天一同站在我們的上帝耶和華面前的人,以及今天不在這裡的人[a]立的。
16 「你們知道我們如何在埃及生活,也知道我們如何穿越列國來到這裡。 17 你們也見過他們用木、石、金、銀造的可憎神像。 18 你們中間,不論男人或女人,家族或支派,切不可有人背棄我們的上帝耶和華,去祭拜列國的神明,免得你們中間有殘根長出苦毒的果實, 19 免得有人聽了這誓言後,心存僥倖地說,『即使我一意孤行,連累他人,也必平安無事。』 20 耶和華絕不會赦免這樣的人,祂必向這樣的人發烈怒,使記在這書上的一切咒詛臨到他身上,從世上抹去他的名字。 21 耶和華必把他從以色列各支派中隔離出來,使他按律法書上約中的一切咒詛受懲罰。
22 「你們的子孫後代和從遠方來的外族人,必看見耶和華降在這地方的災禍和疾病。 23 遍地將是硫磺和鹽,無法耕種,寸草不生,如同耶和華盛怒之下毀滅的所多瑪、蛾摩拉、押瑪和洗扁。 24 萬國必問,『耶和華為什麼要這樣對待這地方?祂為什麼大發烈怒?』 25 必有人回答說,『因為這地方的人背棄了他們祖先的上帝耶和華領他們出埃及時與他們所立的約, 26 去供奉、祭拜他們所不認識、並非耶和華所分派的神明。 27 因此,耶和華向這片土地發怒,把這書上的一切咒詛都降在這裡。 28 耶和華盛怒之下把他們從這地方連根拔起,扔到別的地方,正如今日的情形。』
29 「奧秘的事屬於我們的上帝耶和華,只有顯明的事永遠屬於我們和我們的子孫,以便我們可以遵守這律法上的一切話。」

The Covenant Renewed in Moab
29 These are the words of the covenant which the Lord commanded Moses to make with the children of Israel in the land of Moab, besides the (A)covenant which He made with them in Horeb.
2 Now Moses called all Israel and said to them: (B)“You have seen all that the Lord did before your eyes in the land of Egypt, to Pharaoh and to all his servants and to all his land— 3 (C)the great trials which your eyes have seen, the signs, and those great wonders. 4 Yet (D)the Lord has not given you a heart to [a]perceive and eyes to see and ears to hear, to this very day. 5 (E)And I have led you forty years in the wilderness. (F)Your clothes have not worn out on you, and your sandals have not worn out on your feet. 6 (G)You have not eaten bread, nor have you drunk wine or similar drink, that you may know that I am the Lord your God. 7 And when you came to this place, (H)Sihon king of Heshbon and Og king of Bashan came out against us to battle, and we conquered them. 8 We took their land and (I)gave it as an inheritance to the Reubenites, to the Gadites, and to half the tribe of Manasseh. 9 Therefore (J)keep the words of this covenant, and do them, that you may (K)prosper in all that you do.
10 “All of you stand today before the Lord your God: your leaders and your tribes and your elders and your officers, all the men of Israel, 11 your little ones and your wives—also the stranger who is in your camp, from (L)the one who cuts your wood to the one who draws your water— 12 that you may enter into covenant with the Lord your God, and (M)into His oath, which the Lord your God makes with you today, 13 that He may (N)establish you today as a people for Himself, and that He may be God to you, (O)just as He has spoken to you, and (P)just as He has sworn to your fathers, to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
14 “I make this covenant and this oath, (Q)not with you alone, 15 but with him who stands here with us today before the Lord our God, (R)as well as with him who is not here with us today 16 (for you know that we dwelt in the land of Egypt and that we came through the nations which you passed by, 17 and you saw their [b]abominations and their idols which were among them—wood and stone and silver and gold); 18 so that there may not be among you man or woman or family or tribe, (S)whose heart turns away today from the Lord our God, to go and serve the gods of these nations, (T)and that there may not be among you a root bearing (U)bitterness or wormwood; 19 and so it may not happen, when he hears the words of this curse, that he blesses himself in his heart, saying, ‘I shall have peace, even though I [c]follow the (V)dictates of my heart’—(W)as though the drunkard could be included with the sober.
20 (X)“The Lord would not spare him; for then (Y)the anger of the Lord and (Z)His jealousy would burn against that man, and every curse that is written in this book would settle on him, and the Lord (AA)would blot out his name from under heaven. 21 And the Lord (AB)would separate him from all the tribes of Israel for adversity, according to all the curses of the covenant that are written in this Book of the (AC)Law, 22 so that the coming generation of your children who rise up after you, and the foreigner who comes from a far land, would say, when they (AD)see the plagues of that land and the sicknesses which the Lord has laid on it:
23 ‘The whole land is brimstone, (AE)salt, and burning; it is not sown, nor does it bear, nor does any grass grow there, (AF)like the overthrow of Sodom and Gomorrah, Admah, and Zeboiim, which the Lord overthrew in His anger and His wrath.’ 24 All nations would say, (AG)‘Why has the Lord done so to this land? What does the heat of this great anger mean?’ 25 Then people would say: ‘Because they have forsaken the covenant of the Lord God of their fathers, which He made with them when He brought them out of the land of Egypt; 26 for they went and served other gods and worshiped them, gods that they did not know and that He had not given to them. 27 Then the anger of the Lord was aroused against this land, (AH)to bring on it every curse that is written in this book. 28 And the Lord (AI)uprooted them from their land in anger, in wrath, and in great indignation, and cast them into another land, as it is this day.’
29 “The secret things belong to the Lord our God, but those things which are revealed belong to us and to our children forever, that we may do all the words of this law.

Deuteronomy 29
King James Version
29 These are the words of the covenant, which the Lord commanded Moses to make with the children of Israel in the land of Moab, beside the covenant which he made with them in Horeb.
2 And Moses called unto all Israel, and said unto them, Ye have seen all that the Lord did before your eyes in the land of Egypt unto Pharaoh, and unto all his servants, and unto all his land;
3 The great temptations which thine eyes have seen, the signs, and those great miracles:
4 Yet the Lord hath not given you an heart to perceive, and eyes to see, and ears to hear, unto this day.
5 And I have led you forty years in the wilderness: your clothes are not waxen old upon you, and thy shoe is not waxen old upon thy foot.
6 Ye have not eaten bread, neither have ye drunk wine or strong drink: that ye might know that I am the Lord your God.
7 And when ye came unto this place, Sihon the king of Heshbon, and Og the king of Bashan, came out against us unto battle, and we smote them:
8 And we took their land, and gave it for an inheritance unto the Reubenites, and to the Gadites, and to the half tribe of Manasseh.
9 Keep therefore the words of this covenant, and do them, that ye may prosper in all that ye do.
10 Ye stand this day all of you before the Lord your God; your captains of your tribes, your elders, and your officers, with all the men of Israel,
11 Your little ones, your wives, and thy stranger that is in thy camp, from the hewer of thy wood unto the drawer of thy water:
12 That thou shouldest enter into covenant with the Lord thy God, and into his oath, which the Lord thy God maketh with thee this day:
13 That he may establish thee to day for a people unto himself, and that he may be unto thee a God, as he hath said unto thee, and as he hath sworn unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob.
14 Neither with you only do I make this covenant and this oath;
15 But with him that standeth here with us this day before the Lord our God, and also with him that is not here with us this day:
16 (For ye know how we have dwelt in the land of Egypt; and how we came through the nations which ye passed by;
17 And ye have seen their abominations, and their idols, wood and stone, silver and gold, which were among them:)
18 Lest there should be among you man, or woman, or family, or tribe, whose heart turneth away this day from the Lord our God, to go and serve the gods of these nations; lest there should be among you a root that beareth gall and wormwood;
19 And it come to pass, when he heareth the words of this curse, that he bless himself in his heart, saying, I shall have peace, though I walk in the imagination of mine heart, to add drunkenness to thirst:
20 The Lord will not spare him, but then the anger of the Lord and his jealousy shall smoke against that man, and all the curses that are written in this book shall lie upon him, and the Lord shall blot out his name from under heaven.
21 And the Lord shall separate him unto evil out of all the tribes of Israel, according to all the curses of the covenant that are written in this book of the law:
22 So that the generation to come of your children that shall rise up after you, and the stranger that shall come from a far land, shall say, when they see the plagues of that land, and the sicknesses which the Lord hath laid upon it;
23 And that the whole land thereof is brimstone, and salt, and burning, that it is not sown, nor beareth, nor any grass groweth therein, like the overthrow of Sodom, and Gomorrah, Admah, and Zeboim, which the Lord overthrew in his anger, and in his wrath:
24 Even all nations shall say, Wherefore hath the Lord done thus unto this land? what meaneth the heat of this great anger?
25 Then men shall say, Because they have forsaken the covenant of the Lord God of their fathers, which he made with them when he brought them forth out of the land of Egypt:
26 For they went and served other gods, and worshipped them, gods whom they knew not, and whom he had not given unto them:
27 And the anger of the Lord was kindled against this land, to bring upon it all the curses that are written in this book:
28 And the Lord rooted them out of their land in anger, and in wrath, and in great indignation, and cast them into another land, as it is this day.
29 The secret things belong unto the Lord our God: but those things which are revealed belong unto us and to our children for ever, that we may do all the words of this law.
