摩西去世

34 摩西從摩押平原登上尼波山,上到耶利哥對面的毗斯迦山頂。耶和華把整片土地指給他看,從基列一直到但, 拿弗他利全境、以法蓮和瑪拿西地區,遠至地中海的猶大全境, 南地和棕櫚城耶利哥的谷地,遠至瑣珥。 耶和華對摩西說:「這便是我向亞伯拉罕、以撒和雅各起誓要賜給他們子孫的土地。現在我讓你親眼看到了,但你不能進入。」

於是,耶和華的僕人摩西死在摩押,正如耶和華所言。 耶和華把他安葬在摩押境內伯·毗珥對面的山谷,至今無人知道摩西的墳墓在哪裡。 摩西去世時一百二十歲,眼睛沒有昏花,精力沒有衰敗。 以色列人在摩押平原為摩西致哀三十天,服喪的日子才結束。

嫩的兒子約書亞充滿了智慧之靈,因為摩西曾把手按在他身上。以色列人都聽從他,遵守耶和華對摩西的吩咐。

10 此後,以色列再也沒有出現像摩西那樣的先知,他曾面見耶和華, 11 奉耶和華的命令在埃及行神蹟奇事,懲罰法老及其臣僕和國民, 12 在以色列人面前行偉大而可畏的事。

The Death of Moses

34 Then Moses climbed Mount Nebo(A) from the plains of Moab to the top of Pisgah,(B) across from Jericho.(C) There the Lord showed(D) him the whole land—from Gilead to Dan,(E) all of Naphtali, the territory of Ephraim and Manasseh, all the land of Judah as far as the Mediterranean Sea,(F) the Negev(G) and the whole region from the Valley of Jericho, the City of Palms,(H) as far as Zoar.(I) Then the Lord said to him, “This is the land I promised on oath(J) to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob(K) when I said, ‘I will give it(L) to your descendants.’ I have let you see it with your eyes, but you will not cross(M) over into it.”

And Moses the servant of the Lord(N) died(O) there in Moab, as the Lord had said. He buried him[a] in Moab, in the valley opposite Beth Peor,(P) but to this day no one knows where his grave is.(Q) Moses was a hundred and twenty years old(R) when he died, yet his eyes were not weak(S) nor his strength gone.(T) The Israelites grieved for Moses in the plains of Moab(U) thirty days,(V) until the time of weeping and mourning(W) was over.

Now Joshua son of Nun was filled with the spirit[b] of wisdom(X) because Moses had laid his hands on him.(Y) So the Israelites listened to him and did what the Lord had commanded Moses.

10 Since then, no prophet(Z) has risen in Israel like Moses,(AA) whom the Lord knew face to face,(AB) 11 who did all those signs and wonders(AC) the Lord sent him to do in Egypt—to Pharaoh and to all his officials(AD) and to his whole land. 12 For no one has(AE) ever shown the mighty power or performed the awesome deeds(AF) that Moses did in the sight of all Israel.

The Death of Moses

34 Now Moses went up from the valleys of Moab to Mount Nebo, to the top of Pisgah, beside Jericho. And the Lord showed him all the land, Gilead as far as Dan, all of Naphtali, the land of Ephraim and Manasseh, all the land of Judah as far as the sea in the west, the Negev and the plain in the valley of Jericho, the city of palm trees, as far as Zoar. Then the Lord said to him, “This is the land I promised Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, saying, ‘I will give it to your children.’ I have let you see it with your eyes, but you will not go there.” So Moses the servant of the Lord died there in the land of Moab, as the Word of the Lord said. And He buried him in the valley in the land of Moab, beside Beth-peor. But no man knows where he is buried to this day. Moses was 120 years old when he died. But his eyes were not weak, and his strength had not left him. The children of Israel cried for Moses in the valley of Moab for thirty days. Then the days of crying and sorrow for Moses came to an end.

Now Joshua the son of Nun was filled with the spirit of wisdom, for Moses had laid his hands on him. So the people of Israel listened to him and did what the Lord had told Moses. 10 There has never been another man who speaks for God in Israel like Moses. The Lord knew him face to face. 11 There has never been another like him who has done all the powerful works the Lord sent him to do in the land of Egypt against Pharaoh, all his servants, and all his land. 12 There has never been another who has shown all the great power and all the great fear which Moses did for all Israel to see.
