申命记 16
Chinese New Version (Traditional)
逾越節(A)
16 “你要守亞筆月,向耶和華你的 神守逾越節,因為耶和華你的 神在亞筆月的一個晚上,把你從埃及地領出來。 2 你要在耶和華選擇立為他名的居所的地方,把羊和牛作逾越節的祭牲獻給耶和華你的 神。 3 你吃這祭的時候,不可和有酵的餅一同吃;七日之內,你要吃無酵餅,就是困苦餅,因為你是急急忙忙從埃及地出來的,好使你一生的年日都可以記念你從埃及地出來的日子。 4 七天之內,在你的全境不可見有酵。第一天晚上你獻的祭肉,一點也不可剩下,留到早晨。 5 你不能在耶和華你的 神賜給你的任何一座城裡,宰殺逾越節的祭牲; 6 只能在耶和華你的 神選擇作他名的居所的地方,晚上日落的時候,就是你出埃及的時刻,宰殺逾越節的祭牲; 7 你要在耶和華你的 神選擇的地方,把祭肉煮了吃;到了早晨,你才可以回到家裡去。 8 六日之內你要吃無酵餅;到了第七日,要向耶和華你的 神守聖會;甚麼工都不可作。
七七節(B)
9 “你要計算七個七日,從開鐮收割禾稼的時候算起,共計七個七日。 10 你要向耶和華你的 神舉行七七節,照著耶和華你的 神賜福你的,盡你所能的獻上你手裡的甘心祭。 11 你和你的兒女、僕婢,以及在你城裡的利未人、在你們中間的寄居者、孤兒和寡婦,都要在耶和華你的 神選擇作他名的居所的地方歡樂。 12 你也要記得你在埃及作過奴僕;你要謹守遵行這些律例。
住棚節(C)
13 “你從禾場上和榨酒池裡收藏了出產以後,就要舉行住棚節七日。 14 在這節期以內,你和你的兒女、僕婢,以及住在你城裡的利未人、寄居者、孤兒和寡婦,都要歡樂。 15 你要在耶和華選擇的地方,向耶和華你的 神守節七日,因為耶和華你的 神,要在你一切土產上,和你手所作的一切事上,賜福給你,你就滿有歡樂。 16 每年三次,就是在除酵節、七七節、住棚節,你所有的男丁都要在耶和華選擇的地方,朝見耶和華你的 神;但不可空手朝見耶和華。 17 各人要按手中的力量,照著耶和華你的 神賜你的福,奉獻禮物。
設立審判官與官長
18 “在耶和華你的 神賜給你的各城裡,你要按著各支派設立審判官和官長;他們要按著公義的判斷審判人民。 19 不可屈枉正直,不可徇人的情面,不可收受賄賂,因為賄賂能使智慧人的眼變瞎,也能使義人的話顛倒過來。 20 你要追求公正公義,好使你能存活,並且能承受耶和華你的 神賜給你的地作產業。
禁拜偶像與邪神
21 “在你為耶和華你的 神築的祭壇旁邊,不可栽種甚麼樹木,作亞舍拉。 22 也不可為自己豎立神柱,這是耶和華你的 神所恨惡的。”
申命記 16
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Traditional)
逾越節
16 「你們要在亞筆月[a]為你們的上帝耶和華守逾越節,因為祂在這個月的一個晚上帶領你們離開了埃及。 2 你們要在你們的上帝耶和華選定的敬拜場所,把牛羊作為逾越節的祭牲獻給祂。 3 吃祭牲的時候,不可吃有酵的餅,七天之內要吃無酵餅,即憶苦餅,以便你們一生謹記離開埃及的日子,因為當時你們離開得很倉促。 4 那七天之內,你們境內不可有酵母。第一天傍晚獻的祭肉不可留到第二天早晨。 5 在你們的上帝耶和華將要賜給你們的各城中,你們不可隨便獻逾越節的祭牲, 6 而是要在傍晚日落時分,即你們離開埃及的時候,到你們的上帝耶和華選定的敬拜場所獻逾越節的祭牲。 7 你們要在那裡煮祭肉吃,第二天早晨可以返回自己的帳篷。 8 在隨後的六天之內,你們要吃無酵餅。第七天,要舉行莊嚴的聚會,敬拜你們的上帝耶和華。那一天你們不可做工。
七七收穫節
9 「從收割那天開始算起,你們要算出七週的時間。 10 七週後,要為你們的上帝耶和華守七七收穫節[b]。那時,你們要按照你們的上帝耶和華所賜的福分,甘心樂意地獻上祭物。 11 你們要和兒女、僕婢、同城的利未人、寄居者及孤兒寡婦在你們的上帝耶和華選定的敬拜場所,在祂面前一起歡喜快樂。 12 你們要記住自己曾在埃及做過奴隸,因此要謹遵這些律例。
住棚節
13 「在收藏好穀物和新酒後,你們要守七天的住棚節。 14 住棚節期間,你們要和兒女、僕婢、同城的利未人、寄居者及孤兒寡婦一起歡慶。 15 要在你們的上帝耶和華選定的地方,為祂守住棚節七天;要滿心歡喜,因為你們的上帝耶和華賜福你們,使你們的出產豐富、凡事順利。
16 「你們所有男子要每年三次,即在無酵節、七七收穫節和住棚節,在你們的上帝耶和華指定的地方朝見祂。你們不可空手朝見, 17 各人要按祂賜的福分,盡自己的能力獻上禮物。
委任審判官
18 「要在你們的上帝耶和華將要賜給你們的各城中,按支派委任審判官及其他官員。官員們要秉公審判, 19 不可徇私枉法、偏心待人,收受賄賂,因為賄賂能蒙蔽智者的眼睛,使正直人顛倒是非。 20 你們要追求公正公義,以便可以存活,承受你們的上帝耶和華將要賜給你們的土地。
不可拜偶像
21 「在為你們的上帝耶和華建造的祭壇旁,你們不可豎立亞舍拉木神像, 22 也不可豎立神柱,因為這些是你們的上帝耶和華所憎惡的。
Deuteronomy 16
King James Version
16 Observe the month of Abib, and keep the passover unto the Lord thy God: for in the month of Abib the Lord thy God brought thee forth out of Egypt by night.
2 Thou shalt therefore sacrifice the passover unto the Lord thy God, of the flock and the herd, in the place which the Lord shall choose to place his name there.
3 Thou shalt eat no leavened bread with it; seven days shalt thou eat unleavened bread therewith, even the bread of affliction; for thou camest forth out of the land of Egypt in haste: that thou mayest remember the day when thou camest forth out of the land of Egypt all the days of thy life.
4 And there shall be no leavened bread seen with thee in all thy coast seven days; neither shall there any thing of the flesh, which thou sacrificedst the first day at even, remain all night until the morning.
5 Thou mayest not sacrifice the passover within any of thy gates, which the Lord thy God giveth thee:
6 But at the place which the Lord thy God shall choose to place his name in, there thou shalt sacrifice the passover at even, at the going down of the sun, at the season that thou camest forth out of Egypt.
7 And thou shalt roast and eat it in the place which the Lord thy God shall choose: and thou shalt turn in the morning, and go unto thy tents.
8 Six days thou shalt eat unleavened bread: and on the seventh day shall be a solemn assembly to the Lord thy God: thou shalt do no work therein.
9 Seven weeks shalt thou number unto thee: begin to number the seven weeks from such time as thou beginnest to put the sickle to the corn.
10 And thou shalt keep the feast of weeks unto the Lord thy God with a tribute of a freewill offering of thine hand, which thou shalt give unto the Lord thy God, according as the Lord thy God hath blessed thee:
11 And thou shalt rejoice before the Lord thy God, thou, and thy son, and thy daughter, and thy manservant, and thy maidservant, and the Levite that is within thy gates, and the stranger, and the fatherless, and the widow, that are among you, in the place which the Lord thy God hath chosen to place his name there.
12 And thou shalt remember that thou wast a bondman in Egypt: and thou shalt observe and do these statutes.
13 Thou shalt observe the feast of tabernacles seven days, after that thou hast gathered in thy corn and thy wine:
14 And thou shalt rejoice in thy feast, thou, and thy son, and thy daughter, and thy manservant, and thy maidservant, and the Levite, the stranger, and the fatherless, and the widow, that are within thy gates.
15 Seven days shalt thou keep a solemn feast unto the Lord thy God in the place which the Lord shall choose: because the Lord thy God shall bless thee in all thine increase, and in all the works of thine hands, therefore thou shalt surely rejoice.
16 Three times in a year shall all thy males appear before the Lord thy God in the place which he shall choose; in the feast of unleavened bread, and in the feast of weeks, and in the feast of tabernacles: and they shall not appear before the Lord empty:
17 Every man shall give as he is able, according to the blessing of the Lord thy God which he hath given thee.
18 Judges and officers shalt thou make thee in all thy gates, which the Lord thy God giveth thee, throughout thy tribes: and they shall judge the people with just judgment.
19 Thou shalt not wrest judgment; thou shalt not respect persons, neither take a gift: for a gift doth blind the eyes of the wise, and pervert the words of the righteous.
20 That which is altogether just shalt thou follow, that thou mayest live, and inherit the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee.
21 Thou shalt not plant thee a grove of any trees near unto the altar of the Lord thy God, which thou shalt make thee.
22 Neither shalt thou set thee up any image; which the Lord thy God hateth.
Deuteronomy 16
New King James Version
The Passover Reviewed(A)
16 “Observe the (B)month of Abib, and keep the Passover to the Lord your God, for (C)in the month of Abib the Lord your God brought you out of Egypt by night. 2 Therefore you shall sacrifice the Passover to the Lord your God, from the flock and (D)the herd, in the (E)place where the Lord chooses to put His name. 3 You shall eat no leavened bread with it; (F)seven days you shall eat unleavened bread with it, that is, the bread of affliction (for you came out of the land of Egypt in haste), that you may (G)remember the day in which you came out of the land of Egypt all the days of your life. 4 (H)And no leaven shall be seen among you in all your territory for seven days, nor shall any of the meat which you sacrifice the first day at twilight remain overnight until (I)morning.
5 “You may not sacrifice the Passover within any of your gates which the Lord your God gives you; 6 but at the place where the Lord your God chooses to make His name abide, there you shall sacrifice the Passover (J)at twilight, at the going down of the sun, at the time you came out of Egypt. 7 And you shall roast and eat it (K)in the place which the Lord your God chooses, and in the morning you shall turn and go to your tents. 8 Six days you shall eat unleavened bread, and (L)on the seventh day there shall be a [a]sacred assembly to the Lord your God. You shall do no work on it.
The Feast of Weeks Reviewed(M)
9 “You shall count seven weeks for yourself; begin to count the seven weeks from the time you begin to put the sickle to the grain. 10 Then you shall keep the (N)Feast of Weeks to the Lord your God with the tribute of a freewill offering from your hand, which you shall give (O)as the Lord your God blesses you. 11 (P)You shall rejoice before the Lord your God, you and your son and your daughter, your male servant and your female servant, the Levite who is within your gates, the stranger and the fatherless and the widow who are among you, at the place where the Lord your God chooses to make His name abide. 12 (Q)And you shall remember that you were a slave in Egypt, and you shall be careful to observe these statutes.
The Feast of Tabernacles Reviewed(R)
13 (S)“You shall observe the Feast of Tabernacles seven days, when you have gathered from your threshing floor and from your winepress. 14 And (T)you shall rejoice in your feast, you and your son and your daughter, your male servant and your female servant and the Levite, the stranger and the fatherless and the widow, who are within your [b]gates. 15 (U)Seven days you shall keep a sacred feast to the Lord your God in the place which the Lord chooses, because the Lord your God will bless you in all your produce and in all the work of your hands, so that you surely rejoice.
16 (V)“Three times a year all your males shall appear before the Lord your God in the place which He chooses: at the Feast of Unleavened Bread, at the Feast of Weeks, and at the Feast of Tabernacles; and (W)they shall not appear before the Lord empty-handed. 17 Every man shall give as he is able, (X)according to the blessing of the Lord your God which He has given you.
Justice Must Be Administered
18 “You shall appoint (Y)judges and officers in all your [c]gates, which the Lord your God gives you, according to your tribes, and they shall judge the people with just judgment. 19 (Z)You shall not pervert justice; (AA)you shall not [d]show partiality, (AB)nor take a bribe, for a bribe blinds the eyes of the wise and [e]twists the words of the righteous. 20 You shall follow what is altogether just, that you may (AC)live and inherit the land which the Lord your God is giving you.
21 (AD)“You shall not plant for yourself any tree, as a [f]wooden image, near the altar which you build for yourself to the Lord your God. 22 (AE)You shall not set up a sacred pillar, which the Lord your God hates.
