Deuteronomy
Chapter32
11Giveear,Oheavens,whileIspeak;lettheearthhearkentothewordsofmymouth!
苍天，倾听，我要发言；大地，聆听我口要说的话！
2Maymyinstructionsoakinliketherain,andmydiscoursepermeatelikethedew,Likeadownpouruponthegrass,likeashoweruponthecrops.
愿我的教训如雨下降，我的言语似露滴落，象降在绿茵上的细雨，象落在青草上的甘霖！
3ForIwillsingtheLORD'Srenown.Oh,proclaimthegreatnessofourGod!
因为我要宣扬上主的名，请赞颂我们的天主！
4TheRock——howfaultlessarehisdeeds,howrightallhisways!AfaithfulGod,withoutdeceit,howjustanduprightheis!
他是盘石，他的作为完美无比；他的行径公平正直，他是忠实无妄的天主，公义而又正直。
5Yetbaselyhashebeentreatedbyhisdegeneratechildren,aperverseandcrookedrace!
那不堪称为子女的，自趋堕落，背叛了他，实在是个邪恶败坏的世代！
6IstheLORDtobethusrepaidbyyou,Ostupidandfoolishpeople?Ishenotyourfatherwhocreatedyou?Hashenotmadeyouandestablishedyou?
愚昧无知的人民，你们就这样报答上主吗？他不是生育你，创造你，使你生存的大父吗？
7Thinkbackonthedaysofold,reflectontheyearsofageuponage.Askyourfatherandhewillinformyou,askyoureldersandtheywilltellyou:
你回想往古的时日，思念历代的岁月；问你的父亲，问你的长辈，他必给你讲述；
82WhentheMostHighassignedthenationstheirheritage,whenheparceledoutthedescendantsofAdam,HesetuptheboundariesofthepeoplesafterthenumberofthesonsofGod;
当至高者为民族分配产业时，分布人的子孙时，按照天使的数目，为万民划定了疆界；
9WhiletheLORD'SownportionwasJacob,HishereditarysharewasIsrael.
但雅各伯是上主所保留的一分，以色列成为他特有的产业。
10Hefoundtheminawilderness,awastelandofhowlingdesert.Heshieldedthemandcaredforthem,guardingthemastheappleofhiseye.
上主在旷野之地，在野兽咆哮的原野，发见了他，遂将他抱起，加以抚育，加以保护，有如自己的眼珠。
11Asaneagleincitesitsnestlingsforthbyhoveringoveritsbrood,Sohespreadhiswingstoreceivethemandborethemuponhispinions.
老鹰怎样守候自己的窝巢，飞翔在幼雏之上，上主也怎样伸展双翅，把他背在自己的翼上。
12TheLORDalonewastheirleader,nostrangegodwaswithhim.
上主独自领导了他，他旁边并没有外邦的神祇。
133Hehadthemridetriumphantoverthesummitsofthelandandliveofftheproductsofitsfields,Givingthemhoneytosuckfromitsrocksandoliveoilfromitshard,stonyground;
上主使他驰骋于高原之上，以田间的出产养育他，使他享受岩穴间的蜜，坚石中的油，
144Butterfromitscowsandmilkfromitssheep,withthefatofitslambsandrams;ItsBashanbullsanditsgoats,withthecreamofitsfinestwheat;andthefoamingbloodofitsgrapesyoudrank.
牛酪和羊乳，肥美的羔羊和公羊，巴商的公牛与山羊，以及上等的麦面；并以葡萄美酒作你的饮品。
155(SoJacobatehisfill,)thedarlinggrewfatandfrisky;youbecamefatandgrossandgorged.TheyspurnedtheGodwhomadethemandscornedtheirsavingRock.
雅各布伯吃肥了，耶叔戎吃胖了，会踢人了。──的确，你胖了，肥了，饱满了。──他遂抛弃了造他的天主，轻视了救他的盘石。
16Theyprovokedhimwithstrangegodsandangeredhimwithabominableidols.
他们以邪神的敬礼激起他的妒火，以可憎恶的事物，惹他动怒；
17Theyofferedsacrificetodemons,to＂no-gods,＂togodswhomtheyhadnotknownbefore,Tonewcomersjustarrived,ofwhomtheirfathershadneverstoodinawe.
他们所祭祀的是邪神，而非真神，是向来所不认识的神，是近来新兴，你们的祖先所不敬畏的神。
18YouwereunmindfuloftheRockthatbegotyou,YouforgottheGodwhogaveyoubirth.
你忽略了那生你的盘石，忘记了那使你出世的天主。
19WhentheLORDsawthis,hewasfilledwithloathingandangertowardhissonsanddaughters.
上主一见，大为震怒，遂拋弃了自己的子女，
20‘Iwillhidemyfacefromthem,＂hesaid,＂andseewhatwillthenbecomeofthem.Whatafickleracetheyare,sonswithnoloyaltyinthem!
说我要掩面不顾他们，要看他们的结局如何；这实在是败坏的一代，毫无信实的子女。
21＂Sincetheyhaveprovokedmewiththeir‘no-god'andangeredmewiththeirvainidols,Iwillprovokethemwitha‘no-people';withafoolishnationIwillangerthem.
他们以虚妄之神，激起我的怒火，以虚无之物，惹我动怒；我也要以那不成子民的人激起他们的妒火，以愚昧的民族惹他们发怒。
22＂Forbymywrathafireisenkindledthatshallragetothedepthsofthenetherworld,Consumingtheearthwithitsyield,andlickingwithflamestherootsofthemountains.
我的怒火一燃起，必烧到阴府的深底，吞灭大地及其出产，焚毁山岳的基础。
23Iwillspendonthemwoeuponwoeandexhaustallmyarrowsagainstthem:
我要将灾祸不断加在他们身上，向他们射尽我的箭矢。
24＂Emaciatinghungerandconsumingfeverandbitterpestilence,AndtheteethofwildbeastsIwillsendamongthem,withthevenomofreptilesglidinginthedust.
他们必因饥饿而衰弱，必为热症、毒疫所消灭；我还使尖牙的野兽和土中爬行的毒虫伤害他们。
25＂SnatchedawaybytheswordinthestreetandbysheerterrorathomeShallbetheyouthandthemaidenalike,thenursingbabeaswellasthehoaryoldman.
外有刀剑，内有恐怖，使少男少女，乳儿白头，同归于尽。
26＂Iwouldhavesaid,‘Iwillmakeanendofthemandblotouttheirnamefrommen'smemories,'
我原想粉碎他们，将他们的记念由人间消灭；
27HadInotfearedtheinsolenceoftheirenemies,fearedthatthesefoeswouldmistakenlyboast,'Ourownhandwonthevictory;theLORDhadnothingtodowithit.'＂
但我怕仇人自夸，怕敌人误会说：＂是我的手得胜了，而不是上主行了这一切。＂
286Fortheyareapeopledevoidofreason,havingnounderstanding.
他们原是无谋的民族，没有一点见识。
29Iftheyhadinsighttheywouldrealizewhathappened,theywouldunderstandtheirfutureandsay,
如果他们有点智慧，定会明了此事，看清未来的局势。
30＂Howcouldonemanroutathousand,ortwomenputtenthousandtoflight,UnlessitwasbecausetheirRocksoldthemandtheLORDdeliveredthemup?＂
＂若不是他们的盘石出卖了他们，上主放弃了他们一人怎能追击一千，两人怎能打跑一万？＂
31Indeed,their＂rock＂isnotlikeourRock,andourfoesareundercondemnation.
连我们的仇人也承认，他们的盘石不如我们的盘石。
32TheyareabranchofSodom'svinestock,fromthevineyardsofGomorrah.Poisonousaretheirgrapesandbittertheirclusters.
诚然，他们的葡萄秧，出自索多玛的葡萄园，来在哈摩辣的田园；他们的葡萄是毒葡萄，粒粒葡萄皆酸苦。
33Theirwineisthevenomofdragonsandthecruelpoisonofcobras.
他们的酒是蛇的毒汁，是蝮蛇的猛烈毒液。
34＂Isnotthispreservedinmytreasury,sealedupinmystorehouse,
这事岂不是贮藏在我身旁，封闭在我府库里？
35Againstthedayofvengeanceandrequital,againstthetimetheylosetheirfooting?＂Closeathandisthedayoftheirdisasterandtheirdoomisrushinguponthem!
等到他们失足之时，我必复仇报复；他们灭亡的日子确已临近，给他们预定的命运就要来到。
367Surely,theLORDshalldojusticeforhispeople;onhisservantsheshallhavepity.Whenheseestheirstrengthfailing,andtheirprotectedandunprotectedalikedisappearing,
因为上主要卫护自己的人民，怜恤自己的仆人。当他看见他们的能力已逝，奴隶与自由人已到绝境，
37Hewillsay,＂Wherearetheirgodswhomtheyreliedonastheir‘rock'?
必问说：＂他们的神祇在那里，他们投靠的盘石究在何处？
38LetthosewhoatethefatofyoursacrificesanddrankthewineofyourlibationsRiseupnowandhelpyou!Letthembeyourprotection!
一向吃他们祭牲脂肪的，喝他们奠祭酒浆的，都在那里？让他们起来援助你们罢！让他们做你们的保障罢！
39＂LearnthenthatI,Ialone,amGod,andthereisnogodbesidesme.ItisIwhobringbothdeathandlife,Iwhoinflictwoundsandhealthem,andfrommyhandthereisnorescue.
现在你们应认清，只有我是＂那一位，＂除我以外没有别神；我使人死，也使人活；我击伤人，也加以治疗；谁也不能由我手中救出。
40＂TotheheavensIraisemyhandandswear:AssurelyasIliveforever,
我向天举手宣誓：我生活，至于永远！
41Iwillsharpenmyflashingsword,andmyhandshalllayholdofmyquiver.＂WithvengeanceIwillrepaymyfoesandrequitethosewhohateme.
我一磨亮我的刀剑，我一掌握裁判权，必向我的敌人雪恨，对恨我的人报复。
42Iwillmakemyarrowsdrunkwithblood,andmyswordshallgorgeitselfwithflesh——Withthebloodoftheslainandthecaptured,Fleshfromtheheadsoftheenemyleaders.＂
我要使我的箭矢醉饮鲜血，使我的刀剑吞食血肉：阵亡和俘虏的鲜血，仇敌将领的头颅。＂
43Exultwithhim,youheavens,glorifyhim,allyouangelsofGod;Forheavengesthebloodofhisservantsandpurgeshispeople'sland.
万国，你们应向他的百姓祝贺！因为上主必为自己的仆人报血仇，向仇敌报复，圣洁自己的土地和百姓。
44SoMoses,togetherwithJoshua,sonofNun,wentandrecitedallthewordsofthissongforthepeopletohear.
梅瑟和农的儿子若苏厄前来，将这篇诗歌的话朗诵给百姓听。
45WhenMoseshadfinishedspeakingallthesewordstoallIsrael,
梅瑟向全以色列人一朗诵完了，
46hesaid,＂TaketoheartallthewarningwhichIhavenowgivenyouandwhichyoumustimpressonyourchildren,thatyoumaycarryoutcarefullyeverywordofthislaw.
就对他们说：＂你们应把我今日警告你们的一切话记在心内，好吩咐你们的子孙，谨守遵行这法律上的一切话。
47Forthisisnotrivialmatterforyou;rather,itmeansyourverylife,sinceitisbythismeansthatyouaretoenjoyalonglifeonthelandwhichyouwillcrosstheJordantooccupy.＂
因为这为你们不是空洞的话，而是关系你们的生命；由于遵守这话，你们才能在过约但河后所要占领的地上，长久居留。＂
48OnthatverydaytheLORDsaidtoMoses,
上主就在当天对梅瑟说：＂
49＂GouponMountNebo,hereintheAbarimMountains(itisinthelandofMoabfacingJericho),andviewthelandofCanaan,whichIamgivingtotheIsraelitesastheirpossession.
你到摩阿布去，上这座阿巴陵山，即面对耶里哥的乃波山上去，观看我要给以色列子民作产业的客纳罕地。
50Thenyoushalldieonthemountainyouhaveclimbed,andshallbetakentoyourpeople,justasyourbrotherAarondiedonMountHorandtherewastakentohispeople;
你要死在你所上的山上，归到你本族那里，象你哥哥亚郎死在曷尔山，归到他本族那里一样。
51becausebothofyoubrokefaithwithmeamongtheIsraelitesatthewatersofMeribath-kadeshinthedesertofZinbyfailingtomanifestmysanctityamongtheIsraelites.
因为你们在亲旷野，卡德士的默黎巴水边，在以色列子民中对我失信，没有在他们中尊我为圣；
52Youmayindeedviewthelandatadistance,butyoushallnotenterthatlandwhichIamgivingtotheIsraelites.＂
为此，我赐给以色列子民的地方，你只可由对面眺望，却不能进去。＂
