¹特作　神的子民（出34:11-16）

¹`When Jehovah thy God doth bring thee in unto the land whither thou art going in to possess it, and He hath cast out many nations from thy presence, the Hittite, and the Girgashite, and the Amorite, and the Canaanite, and the Perizzite, and the Hivite, and the Jebusite, seven nations more numerous and mighty than thou,

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。

²and Jehovah thy God hath given them before thee, and thou hast smitten them — thou dost utterly devote them — thou dost not make with them a covenant, nor dost thou favour them.

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。

³`And thou dost not join in marriage with them; thy daughter thou dost not give to his son, and his daughter thou dost not take to thy son,

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。

⁴for he doth turn aside thy son from after Me, and they have served other gods, and the anger of Jehovah hath burned against you, and hath destroyed thee hastily.

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。

⁵`But thus thou dost to them: their altars ye break down, and their standing pillars ye shiver, and their shrines ye cut down, and their graven images ye burn with fire;

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。

⁶for a holy people [art] thou to Jehovah thy God; on thee hath Jehovah thy God fixed, to be to Him for a peculiar people, out of all the peoples who [are] on the face of the ground.

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；

⁷`Not because of your being more numerous than any of the peoples hath Jehovah delighted in you, and fixeth on you, for ye [are] the least of all the peoples,

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。

⁸but because of Jehovah`s loving you, and because of His keeping the oath which He hath sworn to your fathers, hath Jehovah brought you out by a strong hand, and doth ransom you from a house of servants, from the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt.

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。

⁹`And thou hast known that Jehovah thy God He [is] God, the faithful God, keeping the covenant, and the kindness, to those loving Him, and to those keeping His commands — to a thousand generations,

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。

¹⁰and repaying to those hating Him, unto their face, to destroy them; He delayeth not to him who is hating Him — unto his face, He repayeth to him —

¹¹所以你要谨守遵行我今日吩咐你的诫命、律例和典章。

¹¹and thou hast kept the command, and the statutes, and the judgments, which I am commanding thee to-day to do them.

¹²遵行　神法典的赏赐（申28:1-14）“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。

¹²`And it hath been, because ye hear these judgments, and have kept, and done them, that Jehovah thy God hath kept to thee the covenant and the kindness which He hath sworn to thy fathers,

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。

¹³and hath loved thee, and blessed thee, and multiplied thee, and hath blessed the fruit of thy womb, and the fruit of thy ground, thy corn, and thy new wine, and thine oil, the increase of thine oxen, and the wealth of thy flock, on the ground which He hath sworn to thy fathers to give to thee.

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。

¹⁴`Blessed art thou above all the peoples, there is not in thee a barren man or a barren woman — nor among your cattle;

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。

¹⁵and Jehovah hath turned aside from thee every sickness, and none of the evil diseases of Egypt (which thou hast known) doth He put on thee, and He hath put them on all hating thee.

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。

¹⁶`And thou hast consumed all the peoples whom Jehovah thy God is giving to thee; thine eye hath no pity on them, and thou dost not serve their gods, for a snare it [is] to thee.

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？’

¹⁷`When thou sayest in thine heart, These nations [are] more numerous than I, how am I able to dispossess them? —

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，

¹⁸thou art not afraid of them; thou dost surely remember that which Jehovah thy God hath done to Pharaoh, and to all Egypt,

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。

¹⁹the great trials which thine eyes have seen, and the signs, and the wonders, and the strong hand, and the stretched-out arm, with which Jehovah thy God hath brought thee out; so doth Jehovah thy God to all the peoples of whose presence thou art afraid.

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。

²⁰`And also the locust doth Jehovah thy God send among them, till the destruction of those who are left, and of those who are hidden from thy presence;

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。

²¹thou art not terrified by their presence, for Jehovah thy God [is] in thy midst, a God great and fearful.

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。

²²`And Jehovah thy God hath cast out these nations from thy presence little [by] little, (thou art not able to consume them hastily, lest the beast of the field multiply against thee),

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。

²³and Jehovah thy God hath given them before thee, and destroyed them — a great destruction — till their destruction;

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。

²⁴and He hath given their kings into thy hand, and thou hast destroyed their name from under the heavens; no man doth station himself in thy presence till thou hast destroyed them.

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。

²⁵`The graven images of their gods ye do burn with fire; thou dost not desire the silver and gold on them, nor hast thou taken [it] to thyself, lest thou be snared by it, for the abomination of Jehovah thy God it [is];

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。”

²⁶and thou dost not bring in an abomination unto thy house — or thou hast been devoted like it; — thou dost utterly detest it, and thou dost utterly abominate it; for it [is] devoted.
