Deuteronomy:Chapter 32

申命紀	Deuteronomy
¹蒼天，傾聽，我要發言；大地，聆聽我口要說的話！	¹Listen, O heavens, as I speak; hear, earth, the words of my mouth.
²願我的教訓如雨下降，我的言語似露滴落，像降在綠茵上的細雨，像落在青草上的甘霖！	²May my teaching be drenching as the rain, and my words, permeate gently as the dew: like abundant rain upon the grass, like a gentle shower on the tender crops.
³因為我要宣揚上主的名，請讚頌我們的天主！	³For I will proclaim the name of the Lord and declare the greatness of our God.
⁴他是磐石，他的作為完美無比；他的行徑公平正直，他是忠實無妄的天主，公義而又正直。	⁴He is the Rock, and perfect are all his works, just are all his ways. A faithful God he is, upright and just and unerring.
⁵那不堪稱為子女的，自趨墮落，背叛了他，實在是個邪惡敗壞的世代！	⁵Yet he has been treated perversely by his degenerate children - a deceitful and crooked generation.
⁶愚昧無知的人民，你們就這樣報答上主嗎？他不是生育你，創造你，使你生存的大父嗎？	⁶Is this how you repay the Lord, you foolish and senseless people? He is your father, your creator, who formed you and set you up.
⁷你回想往古的時日，思念歷代的歲月；問你的父親，問你的長輩，他必給你講述：	⁷Recall the days of old, think of the years gone by; your father will teach you about them, your elders will enlighten you.
⁸當至高者為民族分配產業時，分佈人的子孫時，按照天使的數目，為萬民劃定了疆界；	⁸When the Most High divided mankind and gave the nations their inheritance, he set up boundaries for the peoples after the number of the sons of God.
⁹但雅各伯是上主所保留的一分，以色列成為他特有的產業。	⁹But the Lord keeps for himself his portion Jacob, his chosen one.
¹⁰上主在曠野之地，在野獸咆哮的原野，發現了他，遂將他抱起，加以撫育，加以保護，有如自己的眼珠。	¹⁰In the wilderness he found them, in a barren, howling wasteland; he shielded them and cared for them as the apple of his eye.
¹¹老鷹怎樣守候自己的窩巢，飛翔在幼雛之上，上主也怎樣伸展雙翅，把他背在自己的翼上。	¹¹Like an eagle watching its nest, hovering over its young, supporting them on its spread wings and carrying them on its pinions,
¹²上主獨自領導了他，他旁邊並沒有外邦的神祇。	¹²the Lord alone led them, without the aid of a foreign god.
¹³上主使他馳騁於高原之上，以田間的出產養育他，使他享受巖穴間的蜜，堅石中的油，	¹³He made them ride on the heights and live on the produce of the earth. He gave them honey to suck from the rock, olive oil from the hard stony crag,
¹⁴牛酪和羊乳，肥美的羔羊和公羊，巴商的公牛與山羊，以及上等的麥麵；並以葡萄美酒作你的飲品。	¹⁴curds from the herd, milk from the flock, fattened lambs and goats and Bashan bulls, the finest wheat and the best grape wine.
¹⁵雅各伯吃肥了，耶叔戎吃胖了，會踢人了。──的確，你胖了，肥了，飽滿了。──他遂拋棄了造他的天主，輕視了救他的磐石。	¹⁵Israel grew up well nourished - you were fat, heavy and overfed. But they abandoned God, their creator; they rejected the rock, their savior.
¹⁶他們以邪神的敬禮激起他的妒火，以可憎惡的事物，惹他動怒；	¹⁶They made him jealous with their strange gods; they angered him with their abominable deeds.
¹⁷他們所祭祀的是邪神，而非真神，是向來所不認識的神，是近來新興，你們的祖先所不敬畏的神。	¹⁷They sacrificed not to him but to the demons, to gods they had not known, to newly arrived gods they feared but which their fathers never revered.
¹⁸你忽略了那生你的磐石，忘記了那使你出世的天主。	¹⁸They have disowned the Rock who fathered them; they have forgotten the God who gave them birth.
¹⁹上主一見，大為震怒，遂拋棄了自己的子女，	¹⁹The Lord saw this, and in his anger rejected his sons and daughters.
²⁰說我要掩面不顧他們，要看他們的結局如何；這實在是敗壞的一代，毫無信實的子女。	²⁰He said, "I will hide my face from them and see what will become of them. They are so perverse, so unfaithful!
²¹他們以虛妄之神，激起我的怒火，以虛無之物，惹我動怒；我也要以那不成子民的人激起他們的妒火，以愚昧的民族惹他們發怒。	²¹They made me jealous with their false gods and angered me with their idols. I will, therefore, make them envious of a foolish people, I will provoke them to anger with an empty-headed nation.
²²我的怒火一燃起，必燒到陰府的深底，吞滅大地及其出產，焚毀山岳的基礎。	²²For my wrath has kindled a fire, burning the world of death to its depths, devouring the earth and its harvests, setting ablaze the foundations of the mountains.
²³我要將災禍不斷加在他們身上，向他們射盡我的箭矢。	²³I will send them trouble upon trouble and spend all my arrows upon them;
²⁴他們必因饑餓而衰弱，必為熱症、毒疫所消滅；我還使尖牙的野獸和土中爬行的毒蟲傷害他們。	²⁴I will afflict them with famine, deadly diseases and pestilence. I will send them wild beasts and venomous snakes.
²⁵外有刀劍，內有恐怖，使少男少女，乳兒白頭，同歸於盡。	²⁵Their children will fall by the sword; terror shall reign within, destroying both young man and virgin, both the sucking child and the old man.
²⁶我原想粉碎他們，將他們的記念由人間消滅；	²⁶I said I would scatter them afar and blot out their memory among mankind,
²⁷但我怕仇人自誇，怕敵人誤會說：「是我的手得勝了，而不是上主行了這一切。」	²⁷but I feared the enemy's boasting, lest the adversary misunderstand and say; 'We have triumphed, the Lord has brought this about.'
²⁸他們原是無謀的民族，沒有一點見識。	²⁸They are a senseless and undiscerning nation. Had they wisdom, they would have known
²⁹如果他們有點智慧，定會明瞭此事，看清未來的局勢。	²⁹the meaning of this and the end awaiting them.
³⁰「若不是他們的磐石出賣了他們，上主放棄了他們，一人怎能追擊一千，兩人怎能打跑一萬？」	³⁰For how could one or two men put to flight a thousand or ten thousand, unless their Rock had abandoned them, unless their Lord had given them up?
³¹連我們的仇人也承認，他們的磐石不如我們的磐石。	³¹Even our enemies understand this: their rock indeed is not like our Rock:
³²誠然，他們的葡萄秧，出自索多瑪的葡萄園，來自哈摩辣的田園；他們的葡萄是毒葡萄，粒粒葡萄皆酸苦。	³²They are an offshoot of Sodom's vinestock, an outgrowth from the fields of Gomorrah; their grapes are poison, their clusters bitter,
³³他們的酒是蛇的毒汁，是蝮蛇的猛烈毒液。	³³their wine contains venom from the cruel fangs of deadly vipers.
³⁴這事豈不是貯藏在我身旁，封閉在我府庫裏？	³⁴I have kept this in reserve and sealed up in my storehouse.
³⁵等到他們失足之時，我必復仇報復；他們滅亡的日子確已臨近，給他們預定的命運就要來到。	³⁵Vengeance and recompense is mine. Their feet will slip in due time, their day of calamity is at hand, and swiftly their doom will come.
³⁶因為上主要衛護自己的人民，憐恤自己的僕人。當他看見他們的能力已逝，奴隸與自由人已到絕境，	³⁶The Lord will give justice to his people and have mercy on his servants, when he sees their strength failing and both slave and free disappearing.
³⁷必問說：「他們的神祇在那裏，他們投靠的磐石究在何處？	³⁷He will say, "Where are their gods, the rock they thought could be their refuge,
³⁸一向吃他們祭牲脂肪的，喝他們奠祭酒漿的，都在那裏？讓他們起來援助你們罷！讓他們做你們的保障罷！	³⁸who ate the fat of their sacrifices and drank the wine of their libations? Let them rise up now and help you, let them give you protection!
³⁹現在你們應認清，只有我是『那一位』，除我以外沒有別神；我使人死，也使人活；我擊傷人，也加以治療；誰也不能由我手中救出。	³⁹Learn this now - that I alone am He; there is no god besides me. It is I who give both death and life; it is I who wound and heal as well and out of my hand no one can deliver.
⁴⁰我向天舉手宣誓：我生活，至於永遠！	⁴⁰I raise my hand to heaven and swear: as truly as I live forever,
⁴¹我一磨亮我的刀劍，我一掌握裁判權，必向我的敵人雪恨，對恨我的人報復。	⁴¹when I sharpen my glittering sword and my hand takes hold of judgment, I will deal out vengeance upon my foes and retribution upon those who hate me.
⁴²我要使我的箭矢醉飲鮮血，使我的刀劍吞食血肉；陣亡和俘虜的鮮血，仇敵將領的頭顱。」	⁴²My arrows will drip with blood, my sword will sink deep into the flesh - blood of the wounded and slain captives, flesh of beheaded enemy leaders.
⁴³萬國，你們應向他的百姓祝賀！因為上主必為自己的僕人報血仇，向仇敵報復，聖潔自己的土地和百姓。	⁴³Rejoice, O nations, with his people, for he will avenge his servants' blood, take vengeance on his adversaries, and perform the rite of expiation for his people and his land.
⁴⁴梅瑟和農的兒子若蘇厄前來，將這篇詩歌的話朗誦給百姓聽。	⁴⁴Moses recited the words of this song in the hearing of the people, and Joshua, son of Nun, was with him.
⁴⁵梅瑟向全以色列人一朗誦完了，	⁴⁵When Moses had finished reciting these words to all Israel,
⁴⁶就對他們說：「你們應把我今日警告你們的一切話記在心內，好吩咐你們的子孫，謹守遵行這法律上的一切話。	⁴⁶he said to them, "Be attentive to all these words which I declare to you today. Repeat them to your children so that they may take care to put all these laws into practice.
⁴⁷因為這為你們不是空洞的話，而是關係你們的生命；由於遵守這話，你們纔能在過約但河後所要佔領的地上，長久居留。」	⁴⁷It is no slight matter: on this depends your life, and by this, you shall lengthen your days in the land you are going to conquer after crossing the Jordan."
⁴⁸上主就在當天對梅瑟說：	⁴⁸Yahweh spoke to Moses on that same day and he said:
⁴⁹「你到摩阿布去，上這座阿巴陵山，即面對耶里哥的乃波山上去，觀看我要給以色列子民作產業的客納罕地。	⁴⁹"Go up to the mountains of Abarim in the land of Moab and climb Mount Nebo facing Jericho. From there you shall see the land of Canaan which I give to the children of Israel.
⁵⁰你要死在你所上的山上，歸到你本族那裏，像你哥哥亞郎死在曷爾山，歸到他本族那裏一樣。	⁵⁰Then you shall die on Mount Nebo and join your fathers as your brother Aaron died on Mount Hor and went to join them.
⁵¹因為你們在親曠野，卡德士的默黎巴水邊，在以色列子民中對我失信，沒有在他們中尊我為聖；	⁵¹Remember that you did not trust me at the waters of Meribah in the desert of Zion, when you did not proclaim me before the Israelites.
⁵²為此，我賜給以色列子民的地方，你只可由對面眺望，卻不能進去。」	⁵²Therefore you shall not enter the Land, but shall only see it from afar."
