¹奉献初熟土产的条例

¹`And it hath been, when thou comest in unto the land which Jehovah thy God is giving to thee — an inheritance, and thou hast possessed it, and dwelt in it,

²就要从耶和华你的　神赐给你的地上，把地上各种初熟果子取些来，放在篮子里，到耶和华你的　神选择立为他名的居所的地方，

²that thou hast taken of the first of all the fruits of the ground which thou dost bring in out of thy land which Jehovah thy God is giving to thee, and hast put [it] in a basket, and gone unto the place which Jehovah thy God doth choose to cause His name to tabernacle there.

³去见当时作祭司的，对他说：‘我今日向耶和华你的　神表明，我已经来到了耶和华向我们的列祖起誓应许要赐给我们的地。’

³`And thou hast come in unto the priest who is in those days, and hast said unto him, I have declared to-day to Jehovah thy God, that I have come in unto the land which Jehovah hath sworn to our fathers to give to us;

⁴祭司就要从你手里接过篮子，放在耶和华你的　神的祭坛前面。

⁴and the priest hath taken the basket out of thy hand, and placed it before the altar of Jehovah thy God.

⁵然后你要在耶和华你的　神面前说：‘我的祖先原是个飘泊流亡的亚兰人；他下到埃及，在那里寄居；他人数稀少，在那里却成了又大又强、人数又多的国。

⁵`And thou hast answered and said before Jehovah thy God, A perishing Aramaean [is] my father! and he goeth down to Egypt, and sojourneth there with few men, and becometh there a nation, great, mighty, and numerous;

⁶埃及人恶待我们，苦害我们，把苦工加在我们身上。

⁶and the Egyptians do us evil, and afflict us, and put on us hard service;

⁷于是我们向耶和华我们列祖的　神呼求，耶和华听见了我们的声音，看见了我们所受的困苦、劳碌和压迫，

⁷and we cry unto Jehovah, God of our fathers, and Jehovah heareth our voice, and seeth our affliction, and our labour, and our oppression;

⁸耶和华就用大能的手和伸出来的膀臂，以及大而可畏的事、神迹和奇事，把我们从埃及领出来。

⁸and Jehovah bringeth us out from Egypt, by a strong hand, and by a stretched-out arm, and by great fear, and by signs, and by wonders,

⁹把我们领进这地方，把这地赐给我们，就是流奶与蜜的地。

⁹and he bringeth us in unto this place, and giveth to us this land — a land flowing with milk and honey.

¹⁰耶和华啊，现在你看，我把你赐给我的土地的初熟果子带了来。’随后你要把篮子放在耶和华你的　神面前，在耶和华你的　神面前下拜。

¹⁰`And now, lo, I have brought in the first of the fruits of the ground which thou hast given to me, O Jehovah; — and thou hast placed it before Jehovah thy God, and bowed thyself before Jehovah thy God,

¹¹你和利未人，以及住在你们中间的外族人，都要因耶和华你的　神赐给你和你的家的一切好处而欢乐。

¹¹and rejoiced in all the good which Jehovah thy God hath given to thee, and to thy house, thou, and the Levite, and the sojourner who [is] in thy midst.

¹²奉献什一之物的条例“每逢第三年，就是十分献一之年，你把一切出产的十分之一完全取出，分给利未人、寄居的和孤儿寡妇，使他们在你的城中吃饱了以后，

¹²`When thou dost complete to tithe all the tithe of thine increase in the third year, the year of the tithe, then thou hast given to the Levite, to the sojourner, to the fatherless, and to the widow, and they have eaten within thy gates, and been satisfied,

¹³你就要在耶和华你的　神面前说：‘我已经把圣物从家里除去了，也分给了利未人、寄居的和孤儿寡妇，都照着你吩咐我的一切诫命；你的命令我都没有违背，也没有忘记。

¹³and thou hast said before Jehovah thy God, I have put away the separated thing out of the house, and also have given it to the Levite, and to the sojourner, and to the orphan, and to the widow, according to all Thy command which Thou hast commanded me; I have not passed over from Thy commands, nor have I forgotten.

¹⁴我守丧的时候，没有吃这圣物；我不洁的时候，没有把它除去，也没有把它送给死人；我听从了耶和华我的　神的话，都照着你吩咐我的一切行了。

¹⁴I have not eaten in mine affliction of it, nor have I put away of it for uncleanness, nor have I given of it for the dead; I have hearkened to the voice of Jehovah my God; I have done according to all that Thou hast commanded me;

¹⁵求你从天上你圣洁的居所垂看，赐福给你的子民以色列，和你赐给我们的土地，就是你向我们的列祖起誓应许的那流奶与蜜的地。’

¹⁵look from Thy holy habitation, from the heavens, and bless Thy people Israel, and the ground which Thou hast given to us, as Thou hast sworn to our fathers — a land flowing [with] milk and honey.

¹⁶作耶和华圣洁的子民“耶和华你的　神今日吩咐你遵行这些律例和典章，所以你要一心一意谨守遵行。

¹⁶`This day Jehovah thy God is commanding thee to do these statutes and judgments; and thou hast hearkened and done them with all thy heart, and with all thy soul,

¹⁷你今日承认了耶和华是你的　神，要遵行他的道，谨守他的律例、诫命和典章，听从他的话。

¹⁷Jehovah thou hast caused to promise to-day to become thy God, and to walk in His ways, and to keep His statutes, and His commands, and His judgments, and to hearken to His voice.

¹⁸耶和华今日照着他应许你的，也承认了你是他珍贵的子民，使你谨守他的一切诫命；

¹⁸`And Jehovah hath caused thee to promise to-day to become His people, a peculiar treasure, as He hath spoken to thee, and to keep all His commands;

¹⁹他又使你得称赞、名誉和尊贵，超过他所造的列国之上，并且照着他说过的使你作圣洁的子民，归于耶和华你的　神。”

¹⁹so as to make thee uppermost above all the nations whom He hath made for a praise, and for a name, and for beauty, and for thy being a holy people to Jehovah thy God, as He hath spoken.
