申命记 7
Chinese New Version (Simplified)
特作 神的子民(A)
7 “耶和华你的 神领你进入你要去得为业的地，从你面前赶走许多民族，就是赫人、革迦撒人、亚摩利人、迦南人、比利洗人、希未人、耶布斯人，共七个比你又大又强的民族。 2 耶和华你的 神把他们交给你，你打败了他们的时候，你要完全毁灭他们，不可与他们立约，也不可恩待他们。 3 不可与他们通婚，不可把你的女儿嫁给他们的儿子，也不可为你的儿子娶他们的女儿。 4 因为他必使你的儿子离开我，去事奉别的神，以致耶和华向你们发烈怒，就快快地把你们消灭。 5 你们却要这样待他们：拆毁他们的祭坛，打碎他们的神柱，砍下他们的亚舍拉，用火焚烧他们的雕像。
6 “因为你是归耶和华你的 神作圣洁的子民的；耶和华你的 神从地上的万族中，拣选了你作他自己的产业，自己的子民。 7 耶和华喜爱你们，拣选你们，并不是因为你们的人数比别的民族多，其实你们的人数在万族中是最少的； 8 而是因为耶和华对你们的爱，又因为他遵守他向你们的列祖所起的誓，他才用大能的手把你们领出来，把你们从为奴之家，从埃及王法老的手里拯救出来。 9 所以你要知道耶和华你的 神，他是 神，是信实可靠的 神；他向爱他和守他诫命的人，守约并且施慈爱，直到千代。 10 但向恨他的人，却要当面报应他们，把他们灭尽；恨他的，他都要当面报应他，决不迟延。 11 所以你要谨守遵行我今日吩咐你的诫命、律例和典章。
遵行 神法典的赏赐(B)
12 “如果你们听从这些典章，并且谨守遵行这一切，耶和华你的 神就必照着他向你的列祖所起的誓，向你守约并且施慈爱。 13 他必爱你，赐福与你，使你人数增多，也必在他向你的列祖起誓应许给你的地上，赐福与你身所生的，你地所产的，使你的五谷、酒、油，以及牛犊和羊羔增产。 14 你必蒙福胜过万民；在你中间没有不能生育的男女，也没有不能生殖的牲畜。 15 耶和华必使一切病症离开你；你所知埃及各种的恶疾，他决不加在你身上，却加在一切恨你的人身上。 16 耶和华你的 神交给你的所有民族，你都要把他们消灭；你的眼不可怜惜他们；你也不可事奉他们的神，因为这必成为你的网罗。
17 “如果你心里说：‘这些国的人比我多，我怎能把他们赶出去呢？’ 18 你不要怕他们，只要牢牢地记住，耶和华你的 神向法老和全埃及所行的事， 19 就是你亲眼看见的大试验、神迹、奇事、大能的手和伸出来的膀臂，这都是耶和华你的 神领你出来的时候使用的；耶和华你的 神也必照样待你惧怕的所有民族。 20 耶和华你的 神还要打发大黄蜂飞到他们中间，直到那些残存躲藏起来的人，都从你面前消灭为止。 21 你不要因他们惊慌，因为耶和华你的 神是在你们中间，他是大而可畏的 神。 22 耶和华你的 神必把这些国的民，从你面前渐渐赶出去；你不可以把他们迅速地灭尽，恐怕田间的野兽多起来害你。 23 耶和华你的 神必把他们交在你面前，使他们大起扰乱，直到他们全被消灭。 24 他也必把他们的君王交在你的手中，你必使他们的名从天下消灭；必没有一人能在你面前站立得住，直到你把他们都消灭了。 25 他们的神像，你们要用火焚烧；神像上的金银，你不可贪爱，也不可据为己有，免得你因此陷入网罗；因为这是耶和华你的 神厌恶的。 26 可厌恶的物，你不可带进家里去，免得你与那物一样成了当毁灭的；你要非常憎恨它，十分厌恶它，因为这是当毁灭的物。”
申命記 7
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Traditional)
做上帝的子民
7 「你們的上帝耶和華帶領你們進入將要佔領的土地時，會為你們趕走赫人、革迦撒人、亞摩利人、迦南人、比利洗人、希未人和耶布斯人這七個比你們強大的民族。 2 當你們的上帝耶和華把他們交在你們手裡、使你們打敗他們後，你們必須徹底毀滅他們。不可與他們立約，不可憐憫他們。 3 不可與他們通婚，不可讓你們的兒女與他們的兒女通婚， 4 因為他們會讓你們的兒女離棄耶和華去拜其他神明，以致耶和華向你們發怒，迅速毀滅你們。 5 你們要拆毀他們的祭壇，打碎他們的神柱，砍下他們的亞舍拉神像，焚燒他們的偶像。 6 因為你們屬於你們的上帝耶和華，是聖潔的民族，祂從天下萬族中揀選了你們做祂的子民——祂寶貴的產業。
7 「耶和華喜愛你們、揀選你們，不是因為你們的人口比別的民族多——其實你們在萬族中是最小的—— 8 而是因為祂愛你們，遵守祂向你們祖先所起的誓。因此，祂用大能的手把你們從受奴役的地方領出來，從埃及王法老手中救贖了你們。 9 所以你們要知道，你們的上帝耶和華是真神，是信實的真神，祂向愛祂、遵守祂誡命的人守約、施慈愛直到千代。 10 但祂必毫不遲延地報應、毀滅那些恨祂的人。 11 所以，你們要遵行我今天吩咐你們的誡命、律例和典章。
遵守誡命必蒙福
12 「如果你們聽從並謹遵這一切，你們的上帝耶和華就會信守祂給你們祖先的誓約，以慈愛待你們。 13 祂會愛你們，賜福給你們，使你們在祂向你們祖先起誓要賜給你們的土地上子孫昌盛，牛羊成群，收穫豐富的穀物、新酒和油。 14 天下萬族之中，你們是最蒙福的，你們的男人、女人和牲畜沒有不能生育的。 15 耶和華要使你們免患疾病，免遭你們在埃及所見的惡疾，祂要把那些惡疾降在一切憎惡你們的人身上。 16 你們必須滅絕你們的上帝耶和華交在你們手裡的各族，不可憐憫他們，不可拜他們的神明，因為那樣會使你們陷入網羅。
17 「也許你們心裡會說，『這些民族都比我們強大，我們怎能趕走他們呢？』 18 不要怕他們，要牢記你們的上帝耶和華曾如何對付埃及和法老， 19 你們親眼目睹祂如何降下大災難、行神蹟奇事、伸出臂膀和大能的手領你們離開埃及，祂也要這樣對付你們所懼怕的各族。 20 你們的上帝耶和華還要派黃蜂去攻擊他們，直到躲藏起來的殘存者也全部滅亡。 21 不要懼怕他們，因為你們的上帝耶和華住在你們當中，祂是偉大而可畏的上帝。 22 你們的上帝耶和華將在你們前面漸漸地趕走那些民族，你們不可急速地滅盡他們，否則你們周圍的野獸會大增，危害你們。 23 你們的上帝耶和華要將他們交給你們，使他們驚恐萬狀，直到被滅絕。 24 祂要將他們的王交在你們手中，無人能抵擋你們，你們要毀滅他們，使他們的名字從世上絕跡。 25 你們要燒毀他們的神像，不可貪圖神像上的金銀，不可將那些金銀據為己有，免得你們因此陷入網羅；因為那是你們的上帝耶和華所憎惡的。 26 不可把可憎之物帶到家裡，否則你們會像它們一樣被毀滅。你們要極其憎惡、厭棄它們，因為它們是當毀滅之物。
Deuteronomy 7
King James Version
7 When the Lord thy God shall bring thee into the land whither thou goest to possess it, and hath cast out many nations before thee, the Hittites, and the Girgashites, and the Amorites, and the Canaanites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites, seven nations greater and mightier than thou;
2 And when the Lord thy God shall deliver them before thee; thou shalt smite them, and utterly destroy them; thou shalt make no covenant with them, nor shew mercy unto them:
3 Neither shalt thou make marriages with them; thy daughter thou shalt not give unto his son, nor his daughter shalt thou take unto thy son.
4 For they will turn away thy son from following me, that they may serve other gods: so will the anger of the Lord be kindled against you, and destroy thee suddenly.
5 But thus shall ye deal with them; ye shall destroy their altars, and break down their images, and cut down their groves, and burn their graven images with fire.
6 For thou art an holy people unto the Lord thy God: the Lord thy God hath chosen thee to be a special people unto himself, above all people that are upon the face of the earth.
7 The Lord did not set his love upon you, nor choose you, because ye were more in number than any people; for ye were the fewest of all people:
8 But because the Lord loved you, and because he would keep the oath which he had sworn unto your fathers, hath the Lord brought you out with a mighty hand, and redeemed you out of the house of bondmen, from the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt.
9 Know therefore that the Lord thy God, he is God, the faithful God, which keepeth covenant and mercy with them that love him and keep his commandments to a thousand generations;
10 And repayeth them that hate him to their face, to destroy them: he will not be slack to him that hateth him, he will repay him to his face.
11 Thou shalt therefore keep the commandments, and the statutes, and the judgments, which I command thee this day, to do them.
12 Wherefore it shall come to pass, if ye hearken to these judgments, and keep, and do them, that the Lord thy God shall keep unto thee the covenant and the mercy which he sware unto thy fathers:
13 And he will love thee, and bless thee, and multiply thee: he will also bless the fruit of thy womb, and the fruit of thy land, thy corn, and thy wine, and thine oil, the increase of thy kine, and the flocks of thy sheep, in the land which he sware unto thy fathers to give thee.
14 Thou shalt be blessed above all people: there shall not be male or female barren among you, or among your cattle.
15 And the Lord will take away from thee all sickness, and will put none of the evil diseases of Egypt, which thou knowest, upon thee; but will lay them upon all them that hate thee.
16 And thou shalt consume all the people which the Lord thy God shall deliver thee; thine eye shall have no pity upon them: neither shalt thou serve their gods; for that will be a snare unto thee.
17 If thou shalt say in thine heart, These nations are more than I; how can I dispossess them?
18 Thou shalt not be afraid of them: but shalt well remember what the Lord thy God did unto Pharaoh, and unto all Egypt;
19 The great temptations which thine eyes saw, and the signs, and the wonders, and the mighty hand, and the stretched out arm, whereby the Lord thy God brought thee out: so shall the Lord thy God do unto all the people of whom thou art afraid.
20 Moreover the Lord thy God will send the hornet among them, until they that are left, and hide themselves from thee, be destroyed.
21 Thou shalt not be affrighted at them: for the Lord thy God is among you, a mighty God and terrible.
22 And the Lord thy God will put out those nations before thee by little and little: thou mayest not consume them at once, lest the beasts of the field increase upon thee.
23 But the Lord thy God shall deliver them unto thee, and shall destroy them with a mighty destruction, until they be destroyed.
24 And he shall deliver their kings into thine hand, and thou shalt destroy their name from under heaven: there shall no man be able to stand before thee, until thou have destroyed them.
25 The graven images of their gods shall ye burn with fire: thou shalt not desire the silver or gold that is on them, nor take it unto thee, lest thou be snared therin: for it is an abomination to the Lord thy God.
26 Neither shalt thou bring an abomination into thine house, lest thou be a cursed thing like it: but thou shalt utterly detest it, and thou shalt utterly abhor it; for it is a cursed thing.
Deuteronomy 7
New King James Version
A Chosen People(A)
7 “When the Lord your God brings you into the land which you go to (B)possess, and has cast out many (C)nations before you, (D)the Hittites and the Girgashites and the Amorites and the Canaanites and the Perizzites and the Hivites and the Jebusites, seven nations greater and mightier than you, 2 and when the Lord your God delivers (E)them over to you, you shall conquer them and utterly destroy them. (F)You shall make no covenant with them nor show mercy to them. 3 (G)Nor shall you make marriages with them. You shall not give your daughter to their son, nor take their daughter for your son. 4 For they will turn your sons away from following Me, to serve other gods; (H)so the anger of the Lord will be aroused against you and destroy you suddenly. 5 But thus you shall deal with them: you shall (I)destroy their altars, and break down their sacred pillars, and cut down their [a]wooden images, and burn their carved images with fire.
6 “For you are a [b]holy people to the Lord your God; (J)the Lord your God has chosen you to be a people for Himself, a special treasure above all the peoples on the face of the earth. 7 The Lord did not set His (K)love on you nor choose you because you were more in number than any other people, for you were (L)the least of all peoples; 8 but (M)because the Lord loves you, and because He would keep (N)the oath which He swore to your fathers, (O)the Lord has brought you out with a mighty hand, and redeemed you from the house of [c]bondage, from the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt.
9 “Therefore know that the Lord your God, He is God, (P)the faithful God (Q)who keeps covenant and mercy for a thousand generations with those who love Him and keep His commandments; 10 and He repays those who hate Him to their face, to destroy them. He will not [d]be (R)slack with him who hates Him; He will repay him to his face. 11 Therefore you shall keep the commandment, the statutes, and the judgments which I command you today, to observe them.
Blessings of Obedience(S)
12 “Then it shall come to pass, because you listen to these judgments, and keep and do them, that the Lord your God will keep with you the covenant and the mercy which He swore to your fathers. 13 And He will (T)love you and bless you and [e]multiply you; (U)He will also bless the fruit of your womb and the fruit of your land, your grain and your new wine and your oil, the increase of your cattle and the offspring of your flock, in the land of which He [f]swore to your fathers to give you. 14 You shall be blessed above all peoples; there shall not be a male or female (V)barren among you or among your livestock. 15 And the Lord will take away from you all sickness, and will afflict you with none of the (W)terrible diseases of Egypt which you have known, but will lay them on all those who hate you. 16 Also you shall [g]destroy all the peoples whom the Lord your God delivers over to you; your eye shall have no pity on them; nor shall you serve their gods, for that will (X)be a snare to you.
17 “If you should say in your heart, ‘These nations are greater than I; how can I dispossess them?’— 18 you shall not be afraid of them, but you shall (Y)remember well what the Lord your God did to Pharaoh and to all Egypt: 19 (Z)the great trials which your eyes saw, the signs and the wonders, the mighty hand and the outstretched arm, by which the Lord your God brought you out. So shall the Lord your God do to all the peoples of whom you are afraid. 20 (AA)Moreover the Lord your God will send the hornet among them until those who are left, who hide themselves from you, are destroyed. 21 You shall not be terrified of them; for the Lord your God, the great and awesome God, is among you. 22 And the Lord your God will drive out those nations before you (AB)little by little; you will be unable to [h]destroy them at once, lest the beasts of the field become too numerous for you. 23 But the Lord your God will deliver them over to you, and will inflict defeat upon them until they are destroyed. 24 And (AC)He will deliver their kings into your hand, and you will destroy their name from under heaven; (AD)no one shall be able to stand [i]against you until you have destroyed them. 25 You shall burn the carved images of their gods with fire; you shall not (AE)covet[j] the silver or gold that is on them, nor take it for yourselves, lest you be snared by it; for it is an abomination to the Lord your God. 26 Nor shall you bring an abomination into your house, lest you be doomed to destruction like it. You shall utterly detest it and utterly abhor it, (AF)for it is an [k]accursed thing.
