1Moses went and spoke these words to all Israel.
1立約書亞作繼承人摩西又把這些話告訴以色列眾人，
2He said to them, “I am one hundred twenty years old this day; I can no more go out and come in: and Yahweh has said to me, ‘You shall not go over this Jordan.’
2對他們說：“我現今一百二十歲，不能再照常出入了；耶和華也曾對我說：你必不得過這約旦河。
3Yahweh your God, he will go over before you; he will destroy these nations from before you, and you shall dispossess them. Joshua shall go over before you, as Yahweh has spoken.
3耶和華你的 神要親自領你們過去，從你們面前消滅這些國的民，使你們得著他們的地，照著耶和華說過的，約書亞要親自領你們過去。
4Yahweh will do to them as he did to Sihon and to Og, the kings of the Amorites, and to their land; whom he destroyed.
4耶和華對待他們，必好像從前對待他消滅的亞摩利人的兩個王西宏和噩，以及他們的國一樣。
5Yahweh will deliver them up before you, and you shall do to them according to all the commandment which I have commanded you.
5耶和華必把他們交給你們，你們照著我吩咐你們的一切命令對待他們。
6Be strong and courageous, don’t be afraid, nor be scared of them: for Yahweh your God, he it is who does go with you; he will not fail you, nor forsake you.”
6你們要堅強勇敢；不要害怕，也不要因他們畏懼，因為耶和華你的 神與你同去；他決不撇下你，也不離棄你。”
7Moses called to Joshua, and said to him in the sight of all Israel, “Be strong and courageous: for you shall go with this people into the land which Yahweh has sworn to their fathers to give them; and you shall cause them to inherit it.
7摩西把約書亞召了來，在以色列眾人面前對他說：“你要堅強勇敢，因為你要和這人民一同進入耶和華向他們的列祖起誓，應許要賜給他們的地；你也要使他們得著那地為業。
8Yahweh, he it is who does go before you; he will be with you, he will not fail you, neither forsake you: don’t be afraid, neither be dismayed.”
8耶和華親自在你前頭行，與你同在；他決不撇下你，也不離棄你；你不要害怕，也不要驚慌。”
9Moses wrote this law, and delivered it to the priests the sons of Levi, who bore the ark of the covenant of Yahweh, and to all the elders of Israel.
9按時宣讀律法書摩西把這律法寫好了，就交給抬耶和華約櫃的利未支派的祭司子孫，和以色列的眾長老。
10Moses commanded them, saying, “At the end of every seven years, in the set time of the year of release, in the feast of tents,
10摩西吩咐他們：“每逢七年的最後一年，就是在豁免年的定期，住棚節期間，
11when all Israel has come to appear before Yahweh your God in the place which he shall choose, you shall read this law before all Israel in their hearing.
11以色列眾人來到耶和華你的 神選擇的地方朝見他的時候，你要在以色列眾人面前把這律法宣讀給他們聽。
12Assemble the people, the men and the women and the little ones, and your foreigner who is within your gates, that they may hear, and that they may learn, and fear Yahweh your God, and observe to do all the words of this law;
12你要召集人民、男人、女人、孩子，以及你城裡的寄居者，叫他們可以聽見，叫他們可以學習，好敬畏耶和華你們的 神，謹守遵行這律法的一切話，
13and that their children, who have not known, may hear, and learn to fear Yahweh your God, as long as you live in the land where you go over the Jordan to possess it.”
13也叫他們還不認識這律法的兒女可以聽見，使他們在你們過約旦河去得為業的地上生活的時候，一生學習敬畏耶和華你們的 神。”
14Yahweh said to Moses, “Behold, your days approach that you must die: call Joshua, and present yourselves in the Tent of Meeting, that I may commission him.” Moses and Joshua went, and presented themselves in the Tent of Meeting.
14耶和華給摩西最後的訓示耶和華對摩西說：“看哪，你的死期臨近了；你要把約書亞召來，你們二人要站在會幕裡，我好吩咐他。”於是摩西和約書亞前去，一同站在會幕裡。
15Yahweh appeared in the Tent in a pillar of cloud: and the pillar of cloud stood over the door of the Tent.
15耶和華在會幕裡，在雲柱中顯現，這雲柱停在會幕的門口上面。
16Yahweh said to Moses, “Behold, you shall sleep with your fathers; and this people will rise up, and play the prostitute after the strange gods of the land, where they go to be among them, and will forsake me, and break my covenant which I have made with them.
16耶和華對摩西說：“看哪，你快要和你的列祖長眠了；這人民要起來，在他們所要去的地方，在那地的人中，與外族人的神行邪淫，離棄我，破壞我與他們所立的約。
17Then my anger shall be kindled against them in that day, and I will forsake them, and I will hide my face from them, and they shall be devoured, and many evils and troubles shall come on them; so that they will say in that day, ‘Haven’t these evils come on us because our God is not among us?’
17到了那日，我必向他們大發烈怒，離棄他們，掩面不顧他們，他們就必被吞滅，並且遭遇很多災禍和患難。到了那日，他們必說：‘我們遭遇這些災禍，不是因為我們的 神不在我們中間嗎？’
18I will surely hide my face in that day for all the evil which they shall have worked, in that they are turned to other gods.
18到了那日，因為他們偏向了別的神，和所作的一切惡事，我必掩面不顧他們。
19“Now therefore write this song for yourselves, and teach it to the children of Israel: put it in their mouths, that this song may be a witness for me against the children of Israel.
19所以，現在你們要為自己寫下這首詩歌來，教導以色列人，放在他們口中，使這首詩歌成為我反對他們的見證。
20For when I shall have brought them into the land which I swore to their fathers, flowing with milk and honey, and they shall have eaten and filled themselves, and grown fat; then will they turn to other gods, and serve them, and despise me, and break my covenant.
20因為我把他們領進了我向他們的列祖起誓應許的地，就是流奶與蜜的地，他們在那裡吃飽了，發胖了，就必偏向別的神，事奉他們，藐視我，破壞我的約。
21It shall happen, when many evils and troubles have come on them, that this song shall testify before them as a witness; for it shall not be forgotten out of the mouths of their seed: for I know their imagination which they frame this day, before I have brought them into the land which I swore.”
21他們遭遇許多災禍和患難的時候，這首詩歌就必在他們面前作證，因為這首詩歌必不會從他們後裔的口中忘記。其實，我還未領他們進入我起誓應許之地以先，他們今日心裡所懷的意念，我都知道了。”
22So Moses wrote this song the same day, and taught it the children of Israel.
22摩西就在那一天寫下了這首詩歌，教導以色列人。
23He commissioned Joshua the son of Nun, and said, “Be strong and courageous; for you shall bring the children of Israel into the land which I swore to them: and I will be with you.”
23耶和華吩咐嫩的兒子約書亞，說：“你當堅強勇敢，因為你要領以色列人進我向他們起誓應許的地，我必與你同在。”
24It happened, when Moses had made an end of writing the words of this law in a book, until they were finished,
24摩西把這律法的話寫在書上，直到寫完了，
25that Moses commanded the Levites, who bore the ark of the covenant of Yahweh, saying,
25摩西就吩咐抬耶和華約櫃的利未人說：
26“Take this book of the law, and put it by the side of the ark of the covenant of Yahweh your God, that it may be there for a witness against you.
26“你們要把這律法書，放在耶和華你們的 神的約櫃旁，可以在那裡作反對你們的見證，
27For I know your rebellion, and your stiff neck: behold, while I am yet alive with you this day, you have been rebellious against Yahweh; and how much more after my death?
27因為我知道你們的悖逆和硬頸。看哪，我今日還活著與你們同在的時候，你們尚且悖逆耶和華，何況我死了以後呢？
28Assemble to me all the elders of your tribes, and your officers, that I may speak these words in their ears, and call heaven and earth to witness against them.
28你們要把你們各支派的眾長老和官長都召集到我這裡來，我好把這些話說給他們聽，並且呼天喚地對他們作證。
29For I know that after my death you will utterly corrupt yourselves, and turn aside from the way which I have commanded you; and evil will happen to you in the latter days; because you will do that which is evil in the sight of Yahweh, to provoke him to anger through the work of your hands.”
29因為我知道我死了以後，你們必完全敗壞，偏離我吩咐你們的道路；在末後的日子必有災禍臨到你們身上，因為你們必行耶和華看為惡的事，以你們手所作的事，惹他發怒。”
30Moses spoke in the ears of all the assembly of Israel the words of this song, until they were finished.
30於是摩西把這首詩歌的話，都說給以色列的全體會眾聽，直到說完了。
