出埃及 23
Chinese New Version (Simplified)

司法公正

23 “不可传播谣言，也不可与恶人携手作假见证。 2 不可随众行恶，不可在诉讼的事上随众说歪曲正义的话； 3 也不可在诉讼的事上偏护穷人。

4 “如果你遇见你仇敌的牛或是驴走迷了路，就应该把牠牵回来给他。 5 如果你看见恨你的人的驴伏在重担之下，不可走开不理牠，你应该与驴主一同卸下重担。 6 不可在穷人诉讼的事上歪曲正义。 7 要远离虚假的事；不可杀无辜和正义的人，因为我决不以恶人为义人。 8 不可受贿赂，因为贿赂能使明眼人变瞎，又能歪曲义人的话。 9 不可压迫寄居的，因为你们在埃及地也作过寄居的，知道寄居者的心情。

安息年与安息日

10 “六年之内你要耕种田地，收取地的出产； 11 但是第七年，你要让地歇息，不耕不种，使你民间的穷人可以有吃的；他们吃剩的，田间的野兽可以吃；你的葡萄园和橄榄园，也要这样作。 12 六日之内，你要作你的工；但第七日你要安息，好使你的牛和驴可以歇息，并且使你婢女的儿子和寄居的也可以有时间喘息一下。 13 我对你们所说的一切，你们都要小心谨守，你们不可提别神的名，也不可让人从你的口中听到。

当守的三个节期(A)

14 “每年三次，你要为我守节。 15 你要守无酵节，要照我吩咐的，在亚笔月内所定的日期，吃无酵饼七天，因为你是在这个月从埃及出来的。你们不可空手朝见我。 16 又要守收割节，就是收在田间你劳碌耕种所得初熟之物的节；也要在年底守收藏节，就是在田间收集你劳碌所得之物的时候。 17 一年三次，你所有的男丁都要朝见主耶和华的面。

18 “你不可把我祭牲的血和有酵的饼一同献上；也不可把我节日祭牲的脂油留过夜到早晨。 19 要把你地上最上好的初熟之物带到耶和华你　神的殿中。不可用山羊羔母的奶去煮山羊羔。

应许与训诲

20 “看哪，我在你面前差派使者，好在路上保护你，领你到我预备的地方去。 21 你们在他面前要谨慎，要听他的话，不可违背他；不然，他必不赦免你们的过犯，因为他是奉我的名来的。 22 如果你实在听他的话，遵行我吩咐的一切，我就要作你仇敌的仇敌，作你敌人的敌人。 23 我的使者必在你前面走，领你到亚摩利人、赫人、比利洗人、迦南人、希未人、耶布斯人那里去；我要把他们除掉。 24 你不可跪拜他们的神像，也不可事奉它们，不可作他们所作的，不可模仿他们的行为，却要把神像完全拆毁，打碎他们的柱像。 25 你们要事奉耶和华你们的　神，他就必赐福你的粮和你的水，我也必从你们中间除去疾病。 26 在你的境内，必没有流产和不育的妇女；我必使你一生的寿数满足。 27 我必在你面前展露我的威严；凡你所到的地方，我必使那里的人民慌乱，又使你所有的仇敌都转背而逃。 28 我必在你面前打发大黄蜂，把希未人、迦南人、赫人，都从你面前驱逐出去。 29 我不在一年之内把他们从你面前驱逐出去，恐怕这地变为荒凉，又恐怕田野间的走兽多起来害你。 30 我要渐渐地把他们从你面前驱逐出去，等到你的人数增多起来，承受那地为止。 31 我要限定你的境界，从红海直到非利士海，从旷野直到大河。我要把那地的居民交在你手中，你要把他们从你面前驱逐出去。 32 不可与他们和他们的神立约。 33 不可让他们住在你的境内，恐怕他们使你得罪我；如果你事奉他们的神，这必成为你的网罗。”

Laws about Honesty and Justice

23 “You must not spread a false report. Do not join[a] the wicked to be a malicious witness.(A)

2 “You must not follow a crowd in wrongdoing. Do not testify in a lawsuit and go along with a crowd to pervert justice.(B) 3 Do not show favoritism to a poor person in his lawsuit.

4 “If you come across your enemy’s stray ox or donkey, you must return it to him.

5 “If you see the donkey of someone who hates you lying helpless under its load, and you want to refrain from helping it, you must help with it.[b](C)

6 “You must not deny justice to a poor person among you in his lawsuit. 7 Stay far away from a false accusation. Do not kill the innocent and the just, because I will not justify the guilty.(D) 8 You must not take a bribe,(E) for a bribe blinds the clear-sighted and corrupts the words[c] of the righteous. 9 You must not oppress a resident alien;(F) you yourselves know how it feels to be a resident alien because you were resident aliens in the land of Egypt.

Sabbaths and Festivals

10 “Sow your land for six years and gather its produce.(G) 11 But during the seventh year you are to let it rest and leave it uncultivated, so that the poor among your people may eat from it and the wild animals may consume what they leave. Do the same with your vineyard and your olive grove.

12 “Do your work(H) for six days but rest on the seventh day so that your ox and your donkey may rest, and the son of your female slave as well as the resident alien may be refreshed.

13 “Pay strict attention to everything I have said to you. You must not invoke the names of other gods; they must not be heard on your lips.[d](I)

14 “Celebrate a festival in my honor three times a year.(J) 15 Observe the Festival of Unleavened Bread. As I commanded you, you are to eat unleavened bread for seven days at the appointed time in the month of Abib,[e] because you came out of Egypt in that month. No one is to appear before me empty-handed.(K) 16 Also observe the Festival of Harvest[f] with the firstfruits of your produce from what you sow in the field, and observe the Festival of Ingathering[g](L) at the end of the year, when you gather your produce[h] from the field. 17 Three times a year all your males are to appear before the Lord God.

18 “You must not offer the blood of my sacrifices with anything leavened. The fat of my festival offering must not remain until morning.(M)

19 “Bring the best of the firstfruits of your land to the house of the Lord your God.

“You must not boil a young goat in its mother’s milk.(N)

Promises and Warnings

20 “I am going to send an angel(O) before you to protect you on the way and bring you to the place I have prepared. 21 Be attentive to him and listen to him. Do not defy him, because he will not forgive your acts of rebellion, for my name is in him.(P) 22 But if you will carefully obey him and do everything I say, then I will be an enemy(Q) to your enemies and a foe to your foes. 23 For my angel will go before you and bring you to the land of the Amorites, Hethites, Perizzites, Canaanites, Hivites, and Jebusites, and I will wipe them out.(R) 24 Do not bow in worship to their gods, and do not serve them. Do not imitate their practices. Instead, demolish them[i] and smash their sacred pillars to pieces.(S) 25 Serve the Lord your God, and he[j] will bless your bread and your water. I will remove illnesses from you.(T) 26 No woman will miscarry or be childless in your land. I will give you the full number of your days.(U)

27 “I will cause the people ahead of you to feel terror[k] and will throw into confusion(V) all the nations you come to. I will make all your enemies turn their backs to you in retreat.[l] 28 I will send hornets[m](W) in front of you, and they will drive the Hivites, Canaanites, and Hethites away from you. 29 I will not drive them out ahead of you in a single year; otherwise, the land would become desolate, and wild animals would multiply against you. 30 I will drive them out little by little ahead of you until you have become numerous[n] and take possession of the land. 31 I will set your borders from the Red Sea to the Mediterranean Sea,[o] and from the wilderness to the Euphrates River.[p] For I will place the inhabitants of the land under your control, and you will drive them out ahead of you.(X) 32 You must not make a covenant(Y) with them or their gods. 33 They must not remain in your land, or else they will make you sin against me. If you serve their gods, it will be a snare for you.”(Z)

Exodus 23
Lexham English Bible

Regulations Regarding Justice

23 “‘You will not spread[a] a false report. Do not lift your hand with the wicked to be a malicious witness. 2 You will not follow[b] a majority[c] for evil, and you will not testify concerning a legal dispute to turn aside after a majority[d] to pervert justice. 3 You will not be partial to a powerless person[e] in his legal dispute.

4 “‘If you come upon the ox of your enemy or his donkey going astray, you will certainly bring it back to him. 5 If you see the donkey of your enemy lying down under its burden, you will refrain from abandoning him. You will surely arrange[f] it with him.

6 “‘You will not pervert the justice of your poor in his legal dispute. 7 You will stay far from a false charge,[g] and do not kill the innocent and the righteous, because I will not declare the wicked righteous.[h] 8 And you will not take a bribe, because the bribe makes the sighted blind and ruins the words of the righteous. 9 And you will not oppress an alien; you yourselves know the feelings[i] of the alien, because you were aliens in the land of Egypt.

Regulations Regarding Work and Festivals

10 “‘And six years you will sow your land and gather its yield. 11 But the seventh you will let it rest and leave it fallow, and the poor of your people will eat, and their remainder the animals[j] of the field will eat. You will do likewise for your vineyard and for your olive trees.

12 “‘Six days you will do your work, but on the seventh day you will stop so that your ox and your donkey will rest and the son of your slave woman and the alien will be refreshed.

13 “‘And you will be attentive to all that I have said to you, and you will not profess[k] the name of other gods; it will not be heard in your mouth.

14 “‘Three times in the year you will hold a festival for me. 15 You will keep the Feast of Unleavened Bread; for seven days you will eat unleavened bread, as I commanded you at the appointed time, the month of Abib, because in it you came out from Egypt, and no one will[l] appear before me empty-handed. 16 And you will keep the Feast of Harvest, with the firstfruits of your work, what you sow in the field. And you will keep the Feast of Harvest Gathering when the year goes out, when you gather your work from the field. 17 Three times in the year all your men will appear before the Lord Yahweh.

18 “‘You will not sacrifice the blood of my sacrifice together with food with yeast, and you will not leave the fat of my feast overnight until morning.

19 “‘The best of the firstfruits of your land you will bring to the house of Yahweh your God.

“‘You will not boil a young goat[m] in its mother’s milk.

Reasons for Loyal Obedience

20 “‘Look, I am about to send an angel before you to guard you on the way and to bring you to the place that I have prepared. 21 Be attentive to him and listen to his voice; do not rebel against him, because he will not forgive your transgression, for my name is in him. 22 But if you listen attentively to his voice and do all that I say, I will be an enemy to your enemies and a foe to your foes. 23 When my angel goes before you and brings you to the Amorites[n] and the Hittites[o] and the Perizzites[p] and the Canaanites[q] and the Hivites[r] and the Jebusites,[s] I will wipe them out.

24 “‘You will not bow to their gods, and you will not serve them, and you will not act according to their actions, because you will utterly demolish them, and you will utterly break their stone pillars. 25 And you will serve Yahweh your God, and he will bless your bread and your water, and I will remove sickness from among you. 26 There will be no one suffering miscarriage or infertile in your land. I will make full the number of your days.[t]

27 “‘I will release my terror before you, and I will throw into confusion all the people against whom you come, and I will make all your enemies turn their back to you.[u] 28 And I will send the hornet before you, and it will drive out the Hivites,[v] the Canaanites,[w] and the Hittites[x] from before you. 29 I will not drive them out from before you in one year, lest the land become a desolation and the wild animals[y] multiply against you. 30 Little by little I will drive them out from before you until you are fruitful and take possession of the land.

31 “‘And I will set your boundary from the Red Sea[z] and up to the sea of the Philistines and from the desert up to the river,[aa] because I will give the inhabitants of the land into your hand, and you will drive them out from before you. 32 You will not make a covenant with them and with their gods. 33 They will not live in your land, lest they cause you to sin against me when you serve their gods, for it will be a snare to you.’”
