Deuteronomy 12
Living Bible
12 “These are the laws you must obey when you arrive in the land that Jehovah, the God of your fathers, has given you forever:
2 “You must destroy all the heathen altars wherever you find them—high in the mountains, up in the hills, or under the trees. 3 Break the altars, smash the obelisks, burn the shameful images, cut down the metal idols, and leave nothing even to remind you of them!
4-5 “You must not make sacrifices to your God just anywhere, as the heathen sacrifice to their gods. Rather, you must build a sanctuary for him at a place he himself will select as his home. 6 There you shall bring to the Lord your burnt offerings and other sacrifices—your tithes, your offerings presented by the gesture of waving before the altar, your offerings to fulfill your vows, your freewill offerings, and your offerings of the firstborn animals of your flocks and herds. 7 There you and your families shall feast before the Lord your God and shall rejoice in all he has done for you.
8 “You will no longer go your own way as you do now, everyone doing whatever he thinks is right; 9 (for these laws don’t go into effect until you arrive in the place of rest the Lord will give to you). 10 But when you cross the Jordan River and live in the Promised Land, and the Lord gives you rest and keeps you safe from all your enemies, 11 then you must bring all your burnt sacrifices and other offerings to his sanctuary, the place he will choose as his home. 12 You shall rejoice there before the Lord with your sons and daughters and servants; and remember to invite the Levites to feast with you, for they have no land of their own.
13 “You are not to sacrifice your burnt offerings just anywhere; 14 you may only do so in the place the Lord will choose. He will pick a place in the territory allotted to one of the tribes. Only there may you offer your sacrifices and bring your offerings. 15 However, the meat you eat may be butchered anywhere, just as you do now with gazelle and deer. Eat as much of this meat as you wish and as often as you are able to obtain it, because the Lord has prospered you. Those who are ceremonially defiled may eat it too. 16 The only restriction is that you are not to eat the blood—pour it out on the ground, like water.
17 “But none of the offerings may be eaten at home. Neither the tithe of your grain and new wine and olive oil, nor the firstborn of your flocks and herds, nor anything you have vowed to give the Lord, nor your freewill offerings, nor the offerings to be presented to the Lord by waving them before his altar. 18 All these must be brought to the central altar where you, your children, and the Levites shall eat them before the Lord your God. He will tell you where this altar must be located. Rejoice before the Lord your God in everything you do. 19 (By the way, be very careful not to forget about the Levites. Share with them.)
20-23 “If, when the Lord enlarges your borders, the central altar is too far away from you, then your flocks and herds may be butchered on your own farms, just as you do now with gazelle and deer. And even persons who are ceremonially defiled may eat them. The only restriction is never to eat the blood, for the blood is the life, and you shall not eat the life with the meat. 24-25 Instead, pour the blood out upon the earth. If you do, all will be well with you and your children. 26-27 Only your gifts to the Lord, and the offerings you have promised in your vows, and your burnt offerings need be taken to the central altar. These may only be sacrificed upon the altar of the Lord your God. The blood will be poured out upon the altar, and you will eat the meat.
28 “Be careful to obey all of these commandments. If you do what is right in the eyes of the Lord your God, all will go well with you and your children forever. 29 When he destroys the nations in the land where you will live, 30 don’t follow their example in worshiping their gods. Do not ask, ‘How do these nations worship their gods?’ and then go and worship as they do! 31 You must not insult the Lord your God like that! These nations have done horrible things that he hates, all in the name of their religion. They have even roasted their sons and daughters in front of their gods. 32 Obey all the commandments I give you. Do not add to or subtract from them.
Deuteronomio 12
Ang Pulong Sa Dios
Ang Usa ka Dapit nga Pagasimbahan
12 “Mao kini ang mga tulumanon ug mga lagda nga kinahanglang tumanon ninyo pag-ayo samtang nagakinabuhi kamo didto sa yuta nga ginahatag kaninyo sa Ginoo, ang Dios sa inyong mga katigulangan. 2 Kon papahawaon na ninyo ang mga katawhan nga nagapuyo didto, panggub-a ninyo sa hingpit ang tanang mga dapit nga ginasimbahan nila sa ilang mga dios sa tag-as nga mga bukid, sa mga bungtod, ug sa ilalom sa matag labong nga kahoy. 3 Panggub-a ninyo ang ilang mga halaran, pangdugmoka ang ilang handomanan nga mga bato, pangsunoga ang ilang mga poste nga simbolo sa ilang diosa nga Ashera, ug panggub-a ang mga imahen sa ilang mga dios aron dili na kini hinumdoman pa nianang mga lugara.
4 “Ayaw ninyo simbaha ang Ginoo nga inyong Dios sama sa ilang paagi sa pagsimba sa ilang dios-dios, 5 hinuon dangop kamo sa Ginoo nga inyong Dios didto sa dapit nga iyang pagapilion gikan sa tanang teritoryo sa mga tribo sa Israel. Didto kamo magsimba sa Ginoo, kay mao kana ang dapit nga iyang gipili diin pasidunggan ang iyang ngalan. 6 Didto ninyo dad-a ang inyong mga halad nga sinunog ug uban pang mga halad, ang inyong ikapulo, ang inyong mga gasa, ang inyong gisaad nga mga ihalad, ang inyong kabubut-ong mga halad, ug ang kamagulangan sa inyong mga kahayopan. 7 Ug didto, mangaon kamo ug ang inyong pamilya sa presensya sa Ginoo nga inyong Dios, ug maglipay sa tanan nga inyong nahimo tungod kay gipanalanginan kamo sa Ginoo.
8 “Karon nagapatuyang kamo sa pagbuhat sa inyong gusto, apan ayaw na ninyo kana buhata 9 kon moabot na kamo sa dapit diin makapahulay na kamo—didto sa dapit nga ginahatag sa Ginoo nga inyong Dios ingon nga inyong panulondon. 10 Kon makatabok na kamo sa Suba sa Jordan ug magpuyo na sa yuta nga ginahatag kaninyo sa Ginoo nga inyong Dios ingon nga panulondon, magakinabuhi kamong malinawon kay dili tugotan sa Ginoo nga samokon kamo sa inyong mga kaaway sa palibot. 11 Unya dad-on ninyo ang inyong mga halad didto sa dapit nga pilion sa Ginoo nga inyong Dios diin pasidunggan ang iyang ngalan. Mao kini ang mga halad nga gisugo ko kaninyo: mga halad nga sinunog ug ang uban pang mga halad, ang inyong ikapulo, ang inyong mga gasa, ug ang tanang pinakamaayong halad nga inyong gisaad sa Ginoo. 12 Didto maglipay kamo sa presensya sa Ginoo nga inyong Dios, apil ang inyong mga kabataan, mga sulugoon, ug ang mga Levita nga nagapuyo sa inyong mga lungsod, kay wala man silay yuta nga panulondon. 13 Ayaw ninyo ihalad ang inyong mga halad nga sinunog sa bisan asang dapit nga gusto ninyo, 14 kondili ihalad kini didto lang sa dapit nga pilion sa Ginoo sa usa sa inyong mga tribo, ug didto himoa ninyo ang tanang gisugo ko kaninyo.
15 “Apan mahimo kamong moihaw ug mokaon ug mananap bisan asa kamo nagapuyo.[a] Magpagusto kamog kaon sa karne niini, sama sa pagkaon ninyo sa usa ug sa gasela,[b] sumala sa panalangin nga gihatag kaninyo sa Ginoo nga inyong Dios. Ang matag tawo mahimong mokaon niini, giisip man siyang hinlo o hugaw sumala sa kasugoan. 16 Apan ayaw ninyo kan-a ang dugo; ibubo ninyo kini sa yuta sama sa tubig. 17 Ayaw usab ninyo kan-a o imna kining mga mosunod: ang ikapulo sa inyong ani, duga sa ubas, lana, ang kamagulangan sa inyong mga kahayopan, ang bisan unsa nga inyong gisaad nga ihalad, ug ang inyong kabubut-on nga mga halad ug gasa. 18 Kaonon lang ninyo kini sa presensya sa Ginoo nga inyong Dios didto sa dapit nga iyang pilion, uban sa inyong mga kabataan, mga sulugoon, ug sa mga Levita nga nagapuyo sa inyong mga lungsod. Maglipay kamo diha sa presensya sa Ginoo nga inyong Dios sa tanan nga inyong buhaton. 19 Ayaw gayod ninyo pasagdi ang mga Levita samtang nagapuyo kamo sa inyong yuta.
20 “Kon palapdon sa Ginoo nga inyong Dios ang inyong teritoryo sumala sa iyang gisaad kaninyo, ug unya gusto ninyong mokaon ug karne, mahimo kamong mokaon taman sa inyong gusto. 21 Kon ang dapit nga pilion sa Ginoo nga inyong Dios diin siya pasidunggan layo sa inyo, mahimo kamong moihaw ug mokaon sa inyong mga baka o karnero sa inyong mga dapit. Ug sumala sa gisugo ko kaninyo, makapagusto kamog kaon sa mga mananap nga gihatag sa Ginoo kaninyo, 22 sama sa gasela ug sa usa. Ang tanan mahimong makakaon niini, hinlo man siya o hugaw. 23 Apan siguroha gayod ninyo nga dili ninyo kan-on ang dugo, kay ang kinabuhi anaa sa dugo. Ayaw ninyo kan-a ang kinabuhi uban sa karne. 24 Ibubo ninyo ang dugo sa yuta sama sa tubig. 25 Ayaw ninyo kini kan-a aron mamaayo ang inyong kahimtang ug sa inyong mga kaliwat, kay ang paglikay sa pagkaon sa dugo maayo atubangan sa Ginoo.
26 “Dad-a ninyo sa dapit nga pilion sa Ginoo ang inyong balaang mga halad ug ang mga halad nga inyong gisaad kaniya. 27 Ihalad ninyo ang dugo ug karne sa inyong mga halad nga sinunog ngadto sa halaran sa Ginoo nga inyong Dios. Kinahanglan nga ibubo ninyo ang dugo diha sa halaran sa Ginoo nga inyong Dios, apan mahimo ninyong kaonon ang karne. 28 Tumana gayod ninyo kining tanang mga katudloan nga gihatag ko kaninyo, aron mamaayo gayod kanunay ang inyong kahimtang ug sa inyong mga kaliwat hangtod sa kahangtoran. Kay ang pagtuman niini maayo ug husto atubangan sa Ginoo nga inyong Dios.
29 “Kon laglagon na sa Ginoo nga inyong Dios ang mga nasod nga inyong panag-iyahon, ug papahawaon na ninyo ang mga lumulupyo niini ug puy-an ang ilang dapit, 30 pagbantay kamo nga dili kamo malit-agan pinaagi sa pagpangutana bahin sa ilang paagi sa pagsimba sa ilang mga dios. Ayaw kamo pag-ingon, ‘Giunsa nila pag-alagad ang ilang mga dios? Sundon usab namo ang ilang ginahimo.’ 31 Ayaw gayod ninyo kini himoa sa inyong pagsimba sa Ginoo nga inyong Dios, kay sa ilang pagsimba gihimo nila ang tanang matang sa mangil-ad nga butang nga gikapungtan sa Ginoo. Bisan ang ilang mga kabataan ilang sunogon ingon nga halad sa ilang mga dios.
32 “Tumana gayod ninyo ang tanang gisugo ko kaninyo. Ayaw ninyo kini dugangi o kulangi.”
Deuteronomy 12
King James Version
12 These are the statutes and judgments, which ye shall observe to do in the land, which the Lord God of thy fathers giveth thee to possess it, all the days that ye live upon the earth.
2 Ye shall utterly destroy all the places, wherein the nations which ye shall possess served their gods, upon the high mountains, and upon the hills, and under every green tree:
3 And ye shall overthrow their altars, and break their pillars, and burn their groves with fire; and ye shall hew down the graven images of their gods, and destroy the names of them out of that place.
4 Ye shall not do so unto the Lord your God.
5 But unto the place which the Lord your God shall choose out of all your tribes to put his name there, even unto his habitation shall ye seek, and thither thou shalt come:
6 And thither ye shall bring your burnt offerings, and your sacrifices, and your tithes, and heave offerings of your hand, and your vows, and your freewill offerings, and the firstlings of your herds and of your flocks:
7 And there ye shall eat before the Lord your God, and ye shall rejoice in all that ye put your hand unto, ye and your households, wherein the Lord thy God hath blessed thee.
8 Ye shall not do after all the things that we do here this day, every man whatsoever is right in his own eyes.
9 For ye are not as yet come to the rest and to the inheritance, which the Lord your God giveth you.
10 But when ye go over Jordan, and dwell in the land which the Lord your God giveth you to inherit, and when he giveth you rest from all your enemies round about, so that ye dwell in safety;
11 Then there shall be a place which the Lord your God shall choose to cause his name to dwell there; thither shall ye bring all that I command you; your burnt offerings, and your sacrifices, your tithes, and the heave offering of your hand, and all your choice vows which ye vow unto the Lord:
12 And ye shall rejoice before the Lord your God, ye, and your sons, and your daughters, and your menservants, and your maidservants, and the Levite that is within your gates; forasmuch as he hath no part nor inheritance with you.
13 Take heed to thyself that thou offer not thy burnt offerings in every place that thou seest:
14 But in the place which the Lord shall choose in one of thy tribes, there thou shalt offer thy burnt offerings, and there thou shalt do all that I command thee.
15 Notwithstanding thou mayest kill and eat flesh in all thy gates, whatsoever thy soul lusteth after, according to the blessing of the Lord thy God which he hath given thee: the unclean and the clean may eat thereof, as of the roebuck, and as of the hart.
16 Only ye shall not eat the blood; ye shall pour it upon the earth as water.
17 Thou mayest not eat within thy gates the tithe of thy corn, or of thy wine, or of thy oil, or the firstlings of thy herds or of thy flock, nor any of thy vows which thou vowest, nor thy freewill offerings, or heave offering of thine hand:
18 But thou must eat them before the Lord thy God in the place which the Lord thy God shall choose, thou, and thy son, and thy daughter, and thy manservant, and thy maidservant, and the Levite that is within thy gates: and thou shalt rejoice before the Lord thy God in all that thou puttest thine hands unto.
19 Take heed to thyself that thou forsake not the Levite as long as thou livest upon the earth.
20 When the Lord thy God shall enlarge thy border, as he hath promised thee, and thou shalt say, I will eat flesh, because thy soul longeth to eat flesh; thou mayest eat flesh, whatsoever thy soul lusteth after.
21 If the place which the Lord thy God hath chosen to put his name there be too far from thee, then thou shalt kill of thy herd and of thy flock, which the Lord hath given thee, as I have commanded thee, and thou shalt eat in thy gates whatsoever thy soul lusteth after.
22 Even as the roebuck and the hart is eaten, so thou shalt eat them: the unclean and the clean shall eat of them alike.
23 Only be sure that thou eat not the blood: for the blood is the life; and thou mayest not eat the life with the flesh.
24 Thou shalt not eat it; thou shalt pour it upon the earth as water.
25 Thou shalt not eat it; that it may go well with thee, and with thy children after thee, when thou shalt do that which is right in the sight of the Lord.
26 Only thy holy things which thou hast, and thy vows, thou shalt take, and go unto the place which the Lord shall choose:
27 And thou shalt offer thy burnt offerings, the flesh and the blood, upon the altar of the Lord thy God: and the blood of thy sacrifices shall be poured out upon the altar of the Lord thy God, and thou shalt eat the flesh.
28 Observe and hear all these words which I command thee, that it may go well with thee, and with thy children after thee for ever, when thou doest that which is good and right in the sight of the Lord thy God.
29 When the Lord thy God shall cut off the nations from before thee, whither thou goest to possess them, and thou succeedest them, and dwellest in their land;
30 Take heed to thyself that thou be not snared by following them, after that they be destroyed from before thee; and that thou enquire not after their gods, saying, How did these nations serve their gods? even so will I do likewise.
31 Thou shalt not do so unto the Lord thy God: for every abomination to the Lord, which he hateth, have they done unto their gods; for even their sons and their daughters they have burnt in the fire to their gods.
32 What thing soever I command you, observe to do it: thou shalt not add thereto, nor diminish from it.
申命记 12
Chinese Union Version Modern Punctuation (Simplified)
献祭当诣耶和华选择之处
12 “你们存活于世的日子,在耶和华你们列祖的神所赐你们为业的地上,要谨守遵行的律例、典章乃是这些: 2 你们要将所赶出的国民侍奉神的各地方,无论是在高山,在小山,在各青翠树下,都毁坏了; 3 也要拆毁他们的祭坛,打碎他们的柱像,用火焚烧他们的木偶,砍下他们雕刻的神像,并将其名从那地方除灭。 4 你们不可照他们那样侍奉耶和华你们的神, 5 但耶和华你们的神从你们各支派中选择何处为立他名的居所,你们就当往那里去求问, 6 将你们的燔祭、平安祭、十分取一之物和手中的举祭并还愿祭、甘心祭,以及牛群羊群中头生的,都奉到那里。 7 在那里,耶和华你们神的面前,你们和你们的家属都可以吃,并且因你手所办的一切事蒙耶和华你的神赐福,就都欢乐。 8 我们今日在这里所行的,是各人行自己眼中看为正的事,你们将来不可这样行, 9 因为你们还没有到耶和华你神所赐你的安息地,所给你的产业。 10 但你们过了约旦河,得以住在耶和华你们神使你们承受为业之地,又使你们太平,不被四围的一切仇敌扰乱,安然居住, 11 那时要将我所吩咐你们的燔祭、平安祭、十分取一之物和手中的举祭,并向耶和华许愿献的一切美祭,都奉到耶和华你们神所选择要立为他名的居所。 12 你们和儿女、仆婢,并住在你们城里无份无业的利未人,都要在耶和华你们的神面前欢乐。 13 你要谨慎,不可在你所看中的各处献燔祭, 14 唯独耶和华从你那一支派中所选择的地方,你就要在那里献燔祭,行我一切所吩咐你的。
宰牲食肉之例
15 “然而,在你各城里都可以照耶和华你神所赐你的福分,随心所欲宰牲吃肉。无论洁净人不洁净人都可以吃,就如吃羚羊与鹿一般。 16 只是不可吃血,要倒在地上,如同倒水一样。 17 你的五谷、新酒和油的十分之一,或是牛群、羊群中头生的,或是你许愿献的、甘心献的,或是手中的举祭,都不可在你城里吃; 18 但要在耶和华你的神面前吃,在耶和华你神所要选择的地方,你和儿女、仆婢,并住在你城里的利未人,都可以吃,也要因你手所办的在耶和华你神面前欢乐。 19 你要谨慎,在你所住的地方永不可丢弃利未人。
20 “耶和华你的神照他所应许扩张你境界的时候,你心里想要吃肉,说‘我要吃肉’,就可以随心所欲地吃肉。 21 耶和华你神所选择要立他名的地方若离你太远,就可以照我所吩咐的,将耶和华赐给你的牛羊取些宰了,可以随心所欲在你城里吃。 22 你吃那肉,要像吃羚羊与鹿一般。无论洁净人不洁净人都可以吃。 23 只是你要心意坚定不可吃血,因为血是生命;不可将血[a]与肉同吃。 24 不可吃血,要倒在地上,如同倒水一样。 25 不可吃血,这样,你行耶和华眼中看为正的事,你和你的子孙就可以得福。 26 只是你分别为圣的物和你的还愿祭,要奉到耶和华所选择的地方去。 27 你的燔祭,连肉带血,都要献在耶和华你神的坛上。平安祭的血要倒在耶和华你神的坛上,平安祭的肉你自己可以吃。 28 你要谨守听从我所吩咐的一切话,行耶和华你神眼中看为善、看为正的事,这样你和你的子孙就可以永远享福。
29 “耶和华你神将你要去赶出的国民从你面前剪除,你得了他们的地居住, 30 那时就要谨慎,不可在他们除灭之后随从他们的恶俗,陷入网罗,也不可访问他们的神说:‘这些国民怎样侍奉他们的神,我也要照样行。’ 31 你不可向耶和华你的神这样行,因为他们向他们的神行了耶和华所憎嫌所恨恶的一切事,甚至将自己的儿女用火焚烧,献于他们的神。
32 “凡我所吩咐的,你们都要谨守遵行,不可加添,也不可删减。
