遵行誡命蒙福(A)

26 “你們不可為自己做偶像,不可為自己立雕像或神柱,也不可在你們的境內安置石像,向它跪拜;因為我是耶和華你們的 神。 你們要遵守我的安息日;敬畏我的聖所;我是耶和華。 你們遵行我的律例,謹守我的誡命,遵照奉行, 我就按時給你們降下雨露,使地生出土產,田野的樹木也結果實。 你們打禾,必打到摘葡萄的時候,摘葡萄必摘到撒種的時候;你們吃食物,吃得飽足,在你們的境內安然居住。 我必使你們境內太平;你們睡覺,沒有人驚嚇你們;我使惡獸在境內絕跡;刀劍也不經過你們的地。 你們必追趕仇敵,他們必在你們面前倒在刀下。 你們五個人必追趕一百人,一百人必追趕一萬人;你們的仇敵必在你們面前倒在刀下。 我眷顧你們,使你們繁衍增多,也必堅立我與你們所立的約。 10 你們吃久藏的舊糧,要挪出舊糧,騰空給新糧。 11 我必在你們中間安置我的居所,我的心也不厭棄你們。 12 我要在你們中間行走;我要作你們的 神,你們要作我的子民。 13 我是耶和華你們的 神,曾經把你們從埃及地領出來,使你們不再作他們的奴僕;我折斷了你們所負的軛,使你們挺身昂首地行走。

違背誡命遭禍(B)

14 “但如果你們不聽從我,不遵行這一切誡命; 15 如果你們棄絕我的律例,你們的心厭棄我的典章,不遵行我的一切誡命,違背我的約, 16 我就要這樣待你們:我必命驚慌臨到你們,癆病熱病使你們眼目昏花,心靈憔悴;你們必徒然撒種,因為你們的仇敵必吃盡你們的出產。 17 我向你們變臉,你們就敗在仇敵面前;恨惡你們的要管轄你們;雖然沒有人追趕,你們仍然逃跑。 18 經過這些以後,如果你們還不聽從我,我就要因你們的罪加重七倍管教你們。 19 我必粉碎你們誇耀的力量;我要使你們的天像鐵,你們的地像銅; 20 你們的氣力徒然用盡;你們的地不出產,境內的樹也不結果實。

21 “如果你們行事為人與我的心意相違,不肯聽從我,我就要按著你們的罪,使災禍加重七倍地臨到你們。 22 打發野地的走獸到你們中間,奪去你們的兒女,殘害你們的牲畜,減少你們的人口,使你們的道路荒涼。

23 “但如果你們經過這些事仍然不歸向我,行事仍與我的心意相違, 24 我也要與你們作對,按著你們的罪,再加重七倍擊打你們; 25 使刀劍臨到你們,報復背約的仇;聚集你們到城裡,好使我打發瘟疫在你們中間,把你們交在仇敵的手裡。 26 我斷絕你們的糧食來源(“我斷絕你們的糧食來源”直譯是“我要折斷你們糧食的杖”)以後,十個女人要共用一個爐子給你們烤餅,她們配給定量的餅給你們;你們要吃,卻吃不飽。

27 “如果你們經過這事,還是不聽從我,行事仍與我的心意相違, 28 我就必發烈怒,與你們作對;我要按著你們的罪,再加重七倍管教你們。 29 你們要吃自己兒子的肉,女兒的肉也要吃。 30 我必毀壞你們的邱壇,砍倒你們的香壇,把你們的屍體扔在你們仆倒的偶像上面;我的心必厭棄你們。 31 我必使你們的城市變為荒場,使你們的聖所荒涼;我也不聞你們馨香的祭。 32 我要使地荒涼,連住在那裡的仇敵也驚奇。 33 我要把你們分散在萬國中,我又拔出刀來追趕你們;你們的地成為荒涼,你們的城市變成荒場。

34 “當那地荒涼,你們又住在仇敵之地的時候,地就享受安息;那地要休歇,享受安息。 35 因為你們居住在那裡的時候,地不能在你們的安息年中享受安息,唯有在荒涼的日子,才可享安息。 36 至於你們剩下的人,我必使他們在仇敵之地膽戰心驚;風吹落葉也會嚇跑他們;他們必逃跑,好像逃避刀劍一樣;雖然無人追趕,他們卻跌倒。 37 雖然無人追趕,他們卻像面臨刀劍,彼此撞跌;你們在仇敵面前,不能站立得住。 38 你們要在萬國中滅亡;仇敵之地必吞滅你們。 39 你們剩下的人,必因自己的罪孽在仇敵之地消滅,也因犯了祖先的罪孽日漸衰弱。

承認罪孽始蒙垂顧

40 “那時他們就會承認自己的罪孽和他們祖先的罪孽,就是他們對我不忠的過犯,又承認因為行事與我的心意相違, 41 以致我也與他們作對,把他們帶到他們的仇敵之地。如果他們未受割禮的心這樣謙卑下來,情願接受他們罪孽的刑罰, 42 我就記念我與雅各所立的約,記念我與以撒所立的約,與亞伯拉罕所立的約;我也記念這地。 43 他們會離開這地,地在荒涼無人的時候,就可以享受安息,同時他們要接受他們罪孽的刑罰,因為他們棄絕了我的典章,他們的心厭棄了我的律例。 44 雖然這樣,他們住在仇敵之地的時候,我還是不棄絕他們,也不厭棄他們,不把他們滅絕,我不會違背我與他們所立的約;因為我是耶和華他們的 神。 45 因為他們的緣故,我要記念我與他們祖先所立的約;他們的祖先是我在列國眼前,從埃及地領出來的,為要作他們的 神;我是耶和華。”

46 這些是耶和華在西奈山,藉著摩西頒布他和以色列人之間的律例、典章和法則。

26 Ye shall make you no idols nor graven image, neither rear you up a standing image, neither shall ye set up any image of stone in your land, to bow down unto it: for I am the Lord your God.

Ye shall keep my sabbaths, and reverence my sanctuary: I am the Lord.

If ye walk in my statutes, and keep my commandments, and do them;

Then I will give you rain in due season, and the land shall yield her increase, and the trees of the field shall yield their fruit.

And your threshing shall reach unto the vintage, and the vintage shall reach unto the sowing time: and ye shall eat your bread to the full, and dwell in your land safely.

And I will give peace in the land, and ye shall lie down, and none shall make you afraid: and I will rid evil beasts out of the land, neither shall the sword go through your land.

And ye shall chase your enemies, and they shall fall before you by the sword.

And five of you shall chase an hundred, and an hundred of you shall put ten thousand to flight: and your enemies shall fall before you by the sword.

For I will have respect unto you, and make you fruitful, and multiply you, and establish my covenant with you.

10 And ye shall eat old store, and bring forth the old because of the new.

11 And I set my tabernacle among you: and my soul shall not abhor you.

12 And I will walk among you, and will be your God, and ye shall be my people.

13 I am the Lord your God, which brought you forth out of the land of Egypt, that ye should not be their bondmen; and I have broken the bands of your yoke, and made you go upright.

14 But if ye will not hearken unto me, and will not do all these commandments;

15 And if ye shall despise my statutes, or if your soul abhor my judgments, so that ye will not do all my commandments, but that ye break my covenant:

16 I also will do this unto you; I will even appoint over you terror, consumption, and the burning ague, that shall consume the eyes, and cause sorrow of heart: and ye shall sow your seed in vain, for your enemies shall eat it.

17 And I will set my face against you, and ye shall be slain before your enemies: they that hate you shall reign over you; and ye shall flee when none pursueth you.

18 And if ye will not yet for all this hearken unto me, then I will punish you seven times more for your sins.

19 And I will break the pride of your power; and I will make your heaven as iron, and your earth as brass:

20 And your strength shall be spent in vain: for your land shall not yield her increase, neither shall the trees of the land yield their fruits.

21 And if ye walk contrary unto me, and will not hearken unto me; I will bring seven times more plagues upon you according to your sins.

22 I will also send wild beasts among you, which shall rob you of your children, and destroy your cattle, and make you few in number; and your high ways shall be desolate.

23 And if ye will not be reformed by me by these things, but will walk contrary unto me;

24 Then will I also walk contrary unto you, and will punish you yet seven times for your sins.

25 And I will bring a sword upon you, that shall avenge the quarrel of my covenant: and when ye are gathered together within your cities, I will send the pestilence among you; and ye shall be delivered into the hand of the enemy.

26 And when I have broken the staff of your bread, ten women shall bake your bread in one oven, and they shall deliver you your bread again by weight: and ye shall eat, and not be satisfied.

27 And if ye will not for all this hearken unto me, but walk contrary unto me;

28 Then I will walk contrary unto you also in fury; and I, even I, will chastise you seven times for your sins.

29 And ye shall eat the flesh of your sons, and the flesh of your daughters shall ye eat.

30 And I will destroy your high places, and cut down your images, and cast your carcases upon the carcases of your idols, and my soul shall abhor you.

31 And I will make your cities waste, and bring your sanctuaries unto desolation, and I will not smell the savour of your sweet odours.

32 And I will bring the land into desolation: and your enemies which dwell therein shall be astonished at it.

33 And I will scatter you among the heathen, and will draw out a sword after you: and your land shall be desolate, and your cities waste.

34 Then shall the land enjoy her sabbaths, as long as it lieth desolate, and ye be in your enemies' land; even then shall the land rest, and enjoy her sabbaths.

35 As long as it lieth desolate it shall rest; because it did not rest in your sabbaths, when ye dwelt upon it.

36 And upon them that are left alive of you I will send a faintness into their hearts in the lands of their enemies; and the sound of a shaken leaf shall chase them; and they shall flee, as fleeing from a sword; and they shall fall when none pursueth.

37 And they shall fall one upon another, as it were before a sword, when none pursueth: and ye shall have no power to stand before your enemies.

38 And ye shall perish among the heathen, and the land of your enemies shall eat you up.

39 And they that are left of you shall pine away in their iniquity in your enemies' lands; and also in the iniquities of their fathers shall they pine away with them.

40 If they shall confess their iniquity, and the iniquity of their fathers, with their trespass which they trespassed against me, and that also they have walked contrary unto me;

41 And that I also have walked contrary unto them, and have brought them into the land of their enemies; if then their uncircumcised hearts be humbled, and they then accept of the punishment of their iniquity:

42 Then will I remember my covenant with Jacob, and also my covenant with Isaac, and also my covenant with Abraham will I remember; and I will remember the land.

43 The land also shall be left of them, and shall enjoy her sabbaths, while she lieth desolate without them: and they shall accept of the punishment of their iniquity: because, even because they despised my judgments, and because their soul abhorred my statutes.

44 And yet for all that, when they be in the land of their enemies, I will not cast them away, neither will I abhor them, to destroy them utterly, and to break my covenant with them: for I am the Lord their God.

45 But I will for their sakes remember the covenant of their ancestors, whom I brought forth out of the land of Egypt in the sight of the heathen, that I might be their God: I am the Lord.

46 These are the statutes and judgments and laws, which the Lord made between him and the children of Israel in mount Sinai by the hand of Moses.

Reward for Obedience

26 “‘Do not make idols(A) or set up an image(B) or a sacred stone(C) for yourselves, and do not place a carved stone(D) in your land to bow down before it. I am the Lord your God.

“‘Observe my Sabbaths(E) and have reverence for my sanctuary.(F) I am the Lord.

“‘If you follow my decrees and are careful to obey(G) my commands, I will send you rain(H) in its season,(I) and the ground will yield its crops and the trees their fruit.(J) Your threshing will continue until grape harvest and the grape harvest will continue until planting, and you will eat all the food you want(K) and live in safety in your land.(L)

“‘I will grant peace in the land,(M) and you will lie down(N) and no one will make you afraid.(O) I will remove wild beasts(P) from the land, and the sword will not pass through your country. You will pursue your enemies,(Q) and they will fall by the sword before you. Five(R) of you will chase a hundred, and a hundred of you will chase ten thousand, and your enemies will fall by the sword before you.(S)

“‘I will look on you with favor and make you fruitful and increase your numbers,(T) and I will keep my covenant(U) with you. 10 You will still be eating last year’s harvest when you will have to move it out to make room for the new.(V) 11 I will put my dwelling place[a](W) among you, and I will not abhor you.(X) 12 I will walk(Y) among you and be your God,(Z) and you will be my people.(AA) 13 I am the Lord your God,(AB) who brought you out of Egypt(AC) so that you would no longer be slaves to the Egyptians; I broke the bars of your yoke(AD) and enabled you to walk with heads held high.

Punishment for Disobedience

14 “‘But if you will not listen to me and carry out all these commands,(AE) 15 and if you reject my decrees and abhor my laws(AF) and fail to carry out all my commands and so violate my covenant,(AG) 16 then I will do this to you: I will bring on you sudden terror, wasting diseases and fever(AH) that will destroy your sight and sap your strength.(AI) You will plant seed in vain, because your enemies will eat it.(AJ) 17 I will set my face(AK) against you so that you will be defeated(AL) by your enemies;(AM) those who hate you will rule over you,(AN) and you will flee even when no one is pursuing you.(AO)

18 “‘If after all this you will not listen to me,(AP) I will punish(AQ) you for your sins seven times over.(AR) 19 I will break down your stubborn pride(AS) and make the sky above you like iron and the ground beneath you like bronze.(AT) 20 Your strength will be spent in vain,(AU) because your soil will not yield its crops, nor will the trees of your land yield their fruit.(AV)

21 “‘If you remain hostile(AW) toward me and refuse to listen to me, I will multiply your afflictions seven times over,(AX) as your sins deserve. 22 I will send wild animals(AY) against you, and they will rob you of your children, destroy your cattle and make you so few(AZ) in number that your roads will be deserted.(BA)

23 “‘If in spite of these things you do not accept my correction(BB) but continue to be hostile toward me, 24 I myself will be hostile(BC) toward you and will afflict you for your sins seven times over. 25 And I will bring the sword(BD) on you to avenge(BE) the breaking of the covenant. When you withdraw into your cities, I will send a plague(BF) among you, and you will be given into enemy hands. 26 When I cut off your supply of bread,(BG) ten women will be able to bake your bread in one oven, and they will dole out the bread by weight. You will eat, but you will not be satisfied.

27 “‘If in spite of this you still do not listen to me(BH) but continue to be hostile toward me, 28 then in my anger(BI) I will be hostile(BJ) toward you, and I myself will punish you for your sins seven times over.(BK) 29 You will eat(BL) the flesh of your sons and the flesh of your daughters.(BM) 30 I will destroy your high places,(BN) cut down your incense altars(BO) and pile your dead bodies[b] on the lifeless forms of your idols,(BP) and I will abhor(BQ) you. 31 I will turn your cities into ruins(BR) and lay waste(BS) your sanctuaries,(BT) and I will take no delight in the pleasing aroma of your offerings.(BU) 32 I myself will lay waste the land,(BV) so that your enemies who live there will be appalled.(BW) 33 I will scatter(BX) you among the nations(BY) and will draw out my sword(BZ) and pursue you. Your land will be laid waste,(CA) and your cities will lie in ruins.(CB) 34 Then the land will enjoy its sabbath years all the time that it lies desolate(CC) and you are in the country of your enemies;(CD) then the land will rest and enjoy its sabbaths. 35 All the time that it lies desolate, the land will have the rest(CE) it did not have during the sabbaths you lived in it.

36 “‘As for those of you who are left, I will make their hearts so fearful in the lands of their enemies that the sound of a windblown leaf(CF) will put them to flight.(CG) They will run as though fleeing from the sword, and they will fall, even though no one is pursuing them.(CH) 37 They will stumble over one another(CI) as though fleeing from the sword, even though no one is pursuing them. So you will not be able to stand before your enemies.(CJ) 38 You will perish(CK) among the nations; the land of your enemies will devour you.(CL) 39 Those of you who are left will waste away in the lands of their enemies because of their sins; also because of their ancestors’(CM) sins they will waste away.(CN)

40 “‘But if they will confess(CO) their sins(CP) and the sins of their ancestors(CQ)—their unfaithfulness and their hostility toward me, 41 which made me hostile(CR) toward them so that I sent them into the land of their enemies—then when their uncircumcised hearts(CS) are humbled(CT) and they pay(CU) for their sin, 42 I will remember my covenant with Jacob(CV) and my covenant with Isaac(CW) and my covenant with Abraham,(CX) and I will remember the land. 43 For the land will be deserted(CY) by them and will enjoy its sabbaths while it lies desolate without them. They will pay for their sins because they rejected(CZ) my laws and abhorred my decrees.(DA) 44 Yet in spite of this, when they are in the land of their enemies,(DB) I will not reject them or abhor(DC) them so as to destroy them completely,(DD) breaking my covenant(DE) with them. I am the Lord their God. 45 But for their sake I will remember(DF) the covenant with their ancestors whom I brought out of Egypt(DG) in the sight of the nations to be their God. I am the Lord.’”

46 These are the decrees, the laws and the regulations that the Lord established at Mount Sinai(DH) between himself and the Israelites through Moses.(DI)
