出埃及 23
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
公义与怜悯
23 “不可散布谣言,也不可与恶人一起作伪证陷害别人。 2 不可随众行恶。在法庭作证时不可附和多数人,颠倒是非。 3 在诉讼的事上不可偏袒穷人。
4 “倘若看见仇人的牛或驴走迷了路,总要牵回去交给他。 5 倘若遇见仇人的驴被驮的重物压倒,不可径自走开,总要帮助仇人抬开重物。
6 “不可在诉讼案中冤枉穷人。 7 不可诬告别人,不可杀害正直无辜的人,因为我必惩罚作恶之人。 8 不可收受贿赂,因为贿赂蒙蔽人的眼目,使人颠倒是非。 9 不可欺凌在你们中间寄居的人,因为你们也曾经在埃及寄居,知道身在异乡的滋味。
安息年和安息日
10 “六年之内你要耕种收割, 11 第七年要让土地休息,不耕不种,你们当中的穷人可以吃田中长出来的,剩下的可以留给动物吃。你也要这样耕作葡萄园和橄榄园。 12 六天之内,你要工作,但第七天要休息。这样,牛、驴可以歇息,你家里的奴仆和寄居的也可以休息。 13 你们要谨慎遵从我对你们说的话。不可提其他神明的名字,不可从你口中听到它们的名字。
三大节期
14 “你每年要向我守三个节期。 15 要守除酵节,照我的吩咐在每年亚笔月所定的日期连续吃七天的无酵饼,因为你是在这个月离开了埃及。谁也不可空手来朝拜我。 16 要在耕种后、收取初熟之物的时候守收割节。要在年终从田间收取劳动成果时守收藏节。 17 以色列所有的男子都要在这三个节期上来朝见主耶和华。
18 “不可把祭牲的血和有酵的饼一起献给我,也不可把祭牲的脂肪留到第二天早晨。 19 要把田中最好的初熟之物送到你们的上帝耶和华的殿中。不可用母山羊的奶煮它的小羊羔。
应许赐迦南
20 “看啊,我要差遣天使走在你前面,在路上保护你,带领你平安地到达我为你预备的地方。 21 他是奉我的名来的,你们要谨遵他的话,不可悖逆,不然他必不赦免你们的过犯。
22 “你若认真听从他的吩咐,遵行我的话,我就与你的仇敌为敌,与你的对头作对。 23 我的天使要走在你前面,带领你去亚摩利人、赫人、比利洗人、迦南人、希未人和耶布斯人所住的地方,我会把他们全部消灭。 24 不可叩拜他们的神明,不可供奉它们,也不可效法他们的行为,要彻底拆毁神像,打碎他们的神柱。 25 你们要事奉你们的上帝耶和华,我必赐给你日用的饮食,使你们身体健康,不受疾病的侵害, 26 在你境内必没有人流产或不育,我会使你寿终正寝。 27 你所到之处,我必使那里的人惶恐不安,使你一切的仇敌都在你面前转身逃跑。 28 我要派黄蜂做你的先锋,赶走那些希未人、迦南人和赫人。 29 我不会在一年之内把这些人全部赶走,免得土地荒凉,野兽肆虐。 30 我会逐渐地赶走他们,直到你们人丁兴旺,可以占据那片土地。 31 我给你定下国界,从红海到非利士海岸,从旷野到幼发拉底河。我要把其中所有的人都交在你手中,你要把他们全部赶出去。 32 不可跟这些民族及其神明立约, 33 也不可让这些民族住在你的土地上,免得他们使你得罪我,你若供奉他们的神明,必因此而陷入网罗。”

Exodus 23
Names of God Bible
23 The Lord continued, “Never spread false rumors. Don’t join forces with wicked people by giving false testimony. 2 Never follow a crowd in doing wrong. When you testify in court, don’t side with the majority to pervert justice. 3 Never give special favors to poor people in court.
4 “Whenever you come across your enemy’s ox or donkey wandering loose, be sure to take it back to him. 5 Whenever you see that the donkey of someone who hates you has collapsed under its load, don’t leave it there. Be sure to help him with his animal.
6 “Never deny justice to poor people in court. 7 Avoid telling lies. Don’t kill innocent or honest people, because I will never declare guilty people innocent. 8 Never take a bribe, because bribes blind those who can see and deny justice to those who are in the right.
9 “Never oppress foreigners. You know what it’s like to be foreigners because you were foreigners living in Egypt.
10 “For six years you may plant crops in your fields and harvest them, 11 but in the seventh year you must leave the land unplowed and unused. In that way the poor among your people will have food to eat, and wild animals may eat what the poor people leave. You must do the same with your vineyards and olive groves.
12 “For six days you will do your work, but on the seventh day you must not work. Then your ox and donkey can rest. The slaves born in your household and foreigners will also be refreshed.
13 “Be careful to do everything I told you.
“Never mention the names of other gods or let them be heard on your lips.
Laws for Three Festivals
14 “Three times a year you must celebrate a pilgrimage festival in my honor.
15 “Celebrate the Festival of Unleavened Bread: For seven days you must eat unleavened bread, as I commanded you. Do this at the appointed time in the month of Abib, because that was when you left Egypt. No one may come into my presence without an offering.
16 “Celebrate the Festival of the Harvest with the first produce harvested from whatever you plant in your fields.
“Celebrate the Festival of the Final Harvest at the end of the year when you harvest your crops from the fields.
17 “These are the three times each year that all your men must come into the presence of Adonay, Yahweh.
18 “Never offer the blood of a sacrifice to me at the same time you offer anything containing yeast. The fat sacrificed at my festivals should never be left over in the morning.
19 “You must bring the best of the first produce harvested from your soil to the house of Yahweh your Elohim.
“Never cook a young goat in its mother’s milk.
Laws about God’s Messenger, Who Will Bring Israel to the Promised Land
20 “I’m going to send a Messenger in front of you to protect you on your trip and bring you to the place I have prepared. 21 Pay attention to him, and listen to him. Don’t defy him, because he will not forgive your disobedience. He is acting on my authority. 22 But if you will listen to him and do everything I say, then I will be an enemy to your enemies and an opponent to your opponents.
23 “My Messenger will go ahead of you and will bring you to the land of the Amorites, Hittites, Perizzites, Canaanites, Hivites, and Jebusites. I will wipe them out. 24 Never worship or serve their gods or follow their practices. Instead, you must destroy their gods and crush their sacred stones. 25 You must serve Yahweh your Elohim, and he will bless your food and water. I will take away all sickness from among you. 26 No woman in your land will miscarry or be unable to have children. I will let you live a normal life span.
27 “I will send my terror ahead of you and throw any nation you meet into a panic. I will make all your enemies flee from you. 28 I will spread panic ahead of you to force the Hivites, Canaanites, and Hittites out of your way. 29 I will not force them out of your way in one year. Otherwise, the land would be deserted, and wild animals would take over. 30 Little by little I will force them out of your way until you have increased enough in number to take possession of the land.
31 “I will establish your borders from the Red Sea to the Mediterranean Sea and from the Sinai Desert to the Euphrates River. I will put the people living in the land under your control, and you will force them out of your way. 32 Never make a treaty with them and their gods. 33 Never let them live in your land, or they will make you sin against me and trap you into serving their gods.”
