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。

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.
