출애굽기 23
Korean Living Bible
모든 사람에게 공정하라
23 “너희는 헛된 소문을 퍼뜨리지 말며 허위 증언을 하여 악한 사람을 돕지 말아라.
2 “너희는 다수를 따라 악을 행하지 말고 법정에서 증언할 때 대중의 편이 되어 허위 진술을 하지 말며
3 소송 문제를 다룰 때 가난한 사람이라고 해서 두둔하지 말아라.
4 “너희가 원수의 소나 나귀가 길을 잃고 헤매는 것을 보거든 그에게 끌어다 주어라.
5 또 너희를 미워하는 사람이 짐을 실은 채 쓰러져 있는 나귀를 일으키려고 애쓰는 것을 보거든 그냥 지나가지 말고 그를 도와주어라.
6 “너희는 가난한 사람의 소송 문제라고 해서 공정하지 못한 재판을 해서는 안 된다.
7 또 허위 문책을 해서는 안 되며 죄 없는 자나 정직한 자를 죽이는 일이 있어서도 안 된다. 나는 그런 악한 짓을 하는 악인을 절대로 용서하지 않을 것이다.
8 너희는 뇌물을 받지 말아라. 뇌물은 사람의 눈을 멀게 하고 의로운 사람의 진술을 묵살시킨다.
9 “너희는 외국인을 학대하지 말아라. 너희도 이집트에서 외국인이었으므로 너희는 외국인의 심정이 어떠한지 알고 있다.”
안식년과 안식일에 관한 법
10 “너희는 6년 동안만 너희 땅에 파종하여 수확을 거두고
11 7년째 되는 해에는 땅을 갈지 말고 묵혀 두어라. 거기서 저절로 자라는 것은 가난한 사람들이 먹게 하고 남은 것은 들짐승이 먹게 하라. 그리고 너희 포도원과 감람원에도 그렇게 하라.
12 “너희는 6일 동안만 일하고 7일째 되는 날에는 휴식하여 너희 소와 나귀가 쉴 수 있게 하고 너희 집의 종들과 외국인이 휴식을 취할 수 있게 하라.
13 “너희는 내가 말한 모든 것을 조심스럽게 지켜라. 그리고 다른 신들의 이름은 부르지도 말고 그 신들을 너희 입으로 들먹이지도 말아라.”
3대 명절
14 “너희는 매년 세 명절을 지켜라.
15 내가 너희에게 명령한 대로 너희가 이집트에서 나온 [a]1월의 정한 때에 무교절을 지켜라. 너희는 7일 동안의 이 명절 기간에 누룩 넣지 않은 빵을 먹어야 하며 나에게 경배하러 올 때에는 빈손으로 오는 자가 없어야 한다.
16 “너희는 밭에 씨를 뿌려 수확한 곡식의 첫열매로 맥추절을 지켜라. “너희는 농산물을 거둬들여 저장하는 연말에 수장절을 지켜라.
17 매년 이 세 명절에 너희 모든 남자들은 너희 하나님 나 여호와에게 경배하러 와야 한다.
18 “너희는 나에게 희생제물의 피를 누룩이 든 빵과 함께 드리지 말며 이 명절 동안 나에게 바친 희생제물의 기름을 다음날 아침까지 남겨 두지 말아라.
19 “너희는 추수한 첫열매 중에서 제일 좋은 것을 너희 하나님 나 여호와의 집으로 가져오너라. “너희는 염소 새끼를 그 어미의 젖으로 삶지 말아라.”
천사를 통해 길을 인도하고 보호하겠다는 약속
20 “내가 한 천사를 너희 앞에 보내 너희가 길을 가는 동안 줄곧 너희를 보호하여 내가 예비한 곳에 너희를 인도하도록 하겠다.
21 너희는 그의 말을 잘 듣고 순종하며 그에게 거역하지 말아라. 그는 내 이름으로 보냄을 받은 자이므로 너희가 거역하는 것을 용서하지 않을 것이다.
22 그러나 너희가 그에게 순종하고 내가 말하는 모든 것을 행하면 내가 너희 원수에게 원수가 되고 너희 대적에게 대적이 될 것이다.
23 나의 천사가 너희 선두에 서서 너희를 아모리족, 헷족, 브리스족, 가나안족, 히위족, 여부스족의 땅으로 인도할 것이다. 내가 그들을 완전히 없애 버리겠다.
24 너희는 그들의 신을 숭배하거나 섬기지 말아라. 그들의 행위를 본받지 말고 그들의 신을 없애 버리며 신상이 새겨진 돌기둥을 부숴 버리고
25 너희 하나님 나 여호와를 섬겨라. 그러면 내가 너희 양식과 물에 복을 내리고 너희 가운데 병을 없애겠다.
26 너희 땅에 낙태하거나 아이를 낳지 못하는 여자가 없을 것이며 [b]너희가 장수하게 될 것이다.
27 “너희가 만나는 백성들을 내가 두려움과 혼란 가운데 빠뜨려 너희를 등지고 달아나게 할 것이며
28 또 너희가 전진할 때 내가 히위족과 가나안족과 헷족에게 [c]공포심을 일으켜 그들을 너희 앞에서 쫓아내겠다.
29 그러나 내가 그들을 년 안에 다 쫓아내지는 않을 것이다. 만일 내가 그렇게 한다면 그 땅이 황폐해지고 들짐승이 득실거려 너희에게 피해가 클 것이다.
30 그래서 너희가 그 땅을 소유할 만큼 인구가 증가할 때까지 내가 그들을 조금씩 서서히 쫓아내겠다.
31 내가 너희 땅의 경계선을 홍해에서 [d]지중해 연안까지, 그리고 [e]아라비아 사막에서 유프라테스강까지 정하고 그 땅의 백성들을 너희에게 넘겨 주겠다. 너희가 그들을 너희 앞에서 쫓아내게 될 것이다.
32 너희는 그들이나 그들의 신들과 계약을 맺지 말아라.
33 너희는 그들을 너희 땅에 살지 못하게 하라. 그렇지 않으면 그들 때문에 너희가 나에게 범죄할 것이다. 너희가 그들의 신을 섬기면 그것이 너희에게 덫이 될 것이다.”
Exodus 23
King James Version
23 Thou shalt not raise a false report: put not thine hand with the wicked to be an unrighteous witness.
2 Thou shalt not follow a multitude to do evil; neither shalt thou speak in a cause to decline after many to wrest judgment:
3 Neither shalt thou countenance a poor man in his cause.
4 If thou meet thine enemy's ox or his ass going astray, thou shalt surely bring it back to him again.
5 If thou see the ass of him that hateth thee lying under his burden, and wouldest forbear to help him, thou shalt surely help with him.
6 Thou shalt not wrest the judgment of thy poor in his cause.
7 Keep thee far from a false matter; and the innocent and righteous slay thou not: for I will not justify the wicked.
8 And thou shalt take no gift: for the gift blindeth the wise, and perverteth the words of the righteous.
9 Also thou shalt not oppress a stranger: for ye know the heart of a stranger, seeing ye were strangers in the land of Egypt.
10 And six years thou shalt sow thy land, and shalt gather in the fruits thereof:
11 But the seventh year thou shalt let it rest and lie still; that the poor of thy people may eat: and what they leave the beasts of the field shall eat. In like manner thou shalt deal with thy vineyard, and with thy oliveyard.
12 Six days thou shalt do thy work, and on the seventh day thou shalt rest: that thine ox and thine ass may rest, and the son of thy handmaid, and the stranger, may be refreshed.
13 And in all things that I have said unto you be circumspect: and make no mention of the name of other gods, neither let it be heard out of thy mouth.
14 Three times thou shalt keep a feast unto me in the year.
15 Thou shalt keep the feast of unleavened bread: (thou shalt eat unleavened bread seven days, as I commanded thee, in the time appointed of the month Abib; for in it thou camest out from Egypt: and none shall appear before me empty:)
16 And the feast of harvest, the firstfruits of thy labours, which thou hast sown in the field: and the feast of ingathering, which is in the end of the year, when thou hast gathered in thy labours out of the field.
17 Three times in the year all thy males shall appear before the Lord God.
18 Thou shalt not offer the blood of my sacrifice with leavened bread; neither shall the fat of my sacrifice remain until the morning.
19 The first of the firstfruits of thy land thou shalt bring into the house of the Lord thy God. Thou shalt not seethe a kid in his mother's milk.
20 Behold, I send an Angel before thee, to keep thee in the way, and to bring thee into the place which I have prepared.
21 Beware of him, and obey his voice, provoke him not; for he will not pardon your transgressions: for my name is in him.
22 But if thou shalt indeed obey his voice, and do all that I speak; then I will be an enemy unto thine enemies, and an adversary unto thine adversaries.
23 For mine Angel shall go before thee, and bring thee in unto the Amorites, and the Hittites, and the Perizzites, and the Canaanites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites: and I will cut them off.
24 Thou shalt not bow down to their gods, nor serve them, nor do after their works: but thou shalt utterly overthrow them, and quite break down their images.
25 And ye shall serve the Lord your God, and he shall bless thy bread, and thy water; and I will take sickness away from the midst of thee.
26 There shall nothing cast their young, nor be barren, in thy land: the number of thy days I will fulfil.
27 I will send my fear before thee, and will destroy all the people to whom thou shalt come, and I will make all thine enemies turn their backs unto thee.
28 And I will send hornets before thee, which shall drive out the Hivite, the Canaanite, and the Hittite, from before thee.
29 I will not drive them out from before thee in one year; lest the land become desolate, and the beast of the field multiply against thee.
30 By little and little I will drive them out from before thee, until thou be increased, and inherit the land.
31 And I will set thy bounds from the Red sea even unto the sea of the Philistines, and from the desert unto the river: for I will deliver the inhabitants of the land into your hand; and thou shalt drive them out before thee.
32 Thou shalt make no covenant with them, nor with their gods.
33 They shall not dwell in thy land, lest they make thee sin against me: for if thou serve their gods, it will surely be a snare unto thee.
Exodus 23
New King James Version
Justice for All
23 “You (A)shall not circulate a false report. Do not put your hand with the wicked to be an (B)unrighteous witness. 2 (C)You shall not follow a crowd to do evil; (D)nor shall you testify in a dispute so as to turn aside after many to pervert justice. 3 You shall not show partiality to a (E)poor man in his dispute.
4 (F)“If you meet your enemy’s ox or his donkey going astray, you shall surely bring it back to him again. 5 (G)If you see the donkey of one who hates you lying under its burden, and you would refrain from helping it, you shall surely help him with it.
6 (H)“You shall not pervert the judgment of your poor in his dispute. 7 (I)Keep yourself far from a false matter; (J)do not kill the innocent and righteous. For (K)I will not justify the wicked. 8 And (L)you shall take no bribe, for a bribe blinds the discerning and perverts the words of the righteous.
9 “Also (M)you shall not oppress a [a]stranger, for you know the heart of a stranger, because you were strangers in the land of Egypt.
The Law of Sabbaths
10 (N)“Six years you shall sow your land and gather in its produce, 11 but the seventh year you shall let it rest and lie fallow, that the poor of your people may eat; and what they leave, the beasts of the field may eat. In like manner you shall do with your vineyard and your [b]olive grove. 12 (O)Six days you shall do your work, and on the seventh day you shall rest, that your ox and your donkey may rest, and the son of your female servant and the stranger may be refreshed.
13 “And in all that I have said to you, (P)be circumspect and (Q)make no mention of the name of other gods, nor let it be heard from your mouth.
Three Annual Feasts(R)
14 (S)“Three times you shall keep a feast to Me in the year: 15 (T)You shall keep the Feast of Unleavened Bread (you shall eat unleavened bread seven days, as I commanded you, at the time appointed in the month of Abib, for in it you came out of Egypt; (U)none shall appear before Me empty); 16 (V)and the Feast of Harvest, the firstfruits of your labors which you have sown in the field; and (W)the Feast of Ingathering at the end of the year, when you have gathered in the fruit of your labors from the field.
17 (X)“Three times in the year all your males shall appear before the Lord [c]God.
18 (Y)“You shall not offer the blood of My sacrifice with leavened (Z)bread; nor shall the fat of My [d]sacrifice remain until morning. 19 (AA)The first of the firstfruits of your land you shall bring into the house of the Lord your God. (AB)You shall not boil a young goat in its mother’s milk.
The Angel and the Promises
20 (AC)“Behold, I send an Angel before you to keep you in the way and to bring you into the place which I have prepared. 21 Beware of Him and obey His voice; (AD)do not provoke Him, for He will (AE)not pardon your transgressions; for (AF)My name is in Him. 22 But if you indeed obey His voice and do all that I speak, then (AG)I will be an enemy to your enemies and an adversary to your adversaries. 23 (AH)For My Angel will go before you and (AI)bring you in to the Amorites and the Hittites and the Perizzites and the Canaanites and the Hivites and the Jebusites; and I will [e]cut them off. 24 You shall not (AJ)bow down to their gods, nor serve them, (AK)nor do according to their works; (AL)but you shall utterly overthrow them and completely break down their sacred pillars.
25 “So you shall (AM)serve the Lord your God, and (AN)He will bless your bread and your water. And (AO)I will take sickness away from the midst of you. 26 (AP)No one shall suffer miscarriage or be barren in your land; I will (AQ)fulfill the number of your days.
27 “I will send (AR)My fear before you, I will (AS)cause confusion among all the people to whom you come, and will make all your enemies turn their backs to you. 28 And (AT)I will send hornets before you, which shall drive out the Hivite, the Canaanite, and the Hittite from before you. 29 (AU)I will not drive them out from before you in one year, lest the land become desolate and the beasts of the field become too numerous for you. 30 Little by little I will drive them out from before you, until you have increased, and you inherit the land. 31 And (AV)I will set your [f]bounds from the Red Sea to the sea, Philistia, and from the desert to the [g]River. For I will (AW)deliver the inhabitants of the land into your hand, and you shall drive them out before you. 32 (AX)You shall make no [h]covenant with them, nor with their gods. 33 They shall not dwell in your land, lest they make you sin against Me. For if you serve their gods, (AY)it will surely be a snare to you.”
