¹You shall not sacrifice to Yahweh your God an ox, or a sheep, in which is a blemish, or anything evil; for that is an abomination to Yahweh your God.

¹“有残疾，或有什么缺点的牛羊，都不可献给耶和华你的　神，因为这是耶和华你的　神所憎恶的。

²If there is found in the midst of you, within any of your gates which Yahweh your God gives you, man or woman, who does that which is evil in the sight of Yahweh your God, in transgressing his covenant,

²“在你中间，就是耶和华你的　神赐给你的任何一座城里，如果发现有人，无论是男是女，行耶和华你的　神眼中看为恶的事，违犯了他的约，

³and has gone and served other gods, and worshiped them, or the sun, or the moon, or any of the army of the sky, which I have not commanded;

³去事奉别的神，并且敬拜它们，敬拜太阳或月亮，或任何天象，是我耶和华没有吩咐的；

⁴and it be told you, and you have heard of it, then you shall inquire diligently; and behold, if it be true, and the thing certain, that such abomination is done in Israel,

⁴有人告诉你，你也听见了，就要好好调查；如果确有这些事，真的在以色列中行了这可憎可厌的事；

⁵then you shall bring forth that man or that woman, who has done this evil thing, to your gates, even the man or the woman; and you shall stone them to death with stones.

⁵你就要把那个行了这恶事的男人或女人带出来，到城门那里去，用石头把他们打死。

⁶At the mouth of two witnesses, or three witnesses, shall he who is to die be put to death; at the mouth of one witness he shall not be put to death.

⁶凭着两个或三个见证人的口供，就可以把那该死的人处死；只是凭着一个见证人的口供，却不可以把人处死。

⁷The hand of the witnesses shall be first on him to put him to death, and afterward the hand of all the people. So you shall put away the evil from the midst of you.

⁷见证人要先下手，然后众民也下手，把他处死。这样，你就把那恶从你中间除掉。

⁸If there arises a matter too hard for you in judgment, between blood and blood, between plea and plea, and between stroke and stroke, being matters of controversy within your gates; then you shall arise, and go up to the place which Yahweh your God shall choose;

⁸最高裁判“在你的城里如果有什么争讼的事：或是流血，或是诉讼，或是殴打，是你很难处决的案件，你就要起来，上到耶和华你的　神选择的地方，

⁹and you shall come to the priests the Levites, and to the judge who shall be in those days: and you shall inquire; and they shall show you the sentence of judgment.

⁹去见利未支派的祭司和当时的审判官，询问他们，他们就必指示你们怎样判断这案件。

¹⁰You shall do according to the tenor of the sentence which they shall show you from that place which Yahweh shall choose; and you shall observe to do according to all that they shall teach you:

¹⁰你要照着他们从耶和华选择的那地方，向你指示的话去行；他们指教你的，你都要谨守遵行。

¹¹according to the tenor of the law which they shall teach you, and according to the judgment which they shall tell you, you shall do; you shall not turn aside from the sentence which they shall show you, to the right hand, nor to the left.

¹¹你要按着他们指教你的律法，和照着他们告诉你的判断去行；他们告诉你的话，你不可偏左或偏右。

¹²The man who does presumptuously, in not listening to the priest who stands to minister there before Yahweh your God, or to the judge, even that man shall die: and you shall put away the evil from Israel.

¹²如果有人擅自行事，不听从祭司，就是侍立在那里事奉耶和华你的　神的，或是不听从审判官，那人就必须处死；这样，你就可以把这恶从以色列中肃清了。

¹³All the people shall hear, and fear, and do no more presumptuously.

¹³众民都会听见，而且惧怕，也不再擅自行事了。

¹⁴When you have come to the land which Yahweh your God gives you, and shall possess it, and shall dwell therein, and shall say, “I will set a king over me, like all the nations that are around me”;

¹⁴立王的条例“你进了耶和华你的　神赐给你的地，占领了那地，居住在那里的时候，如果你说：‘我要立一位君王治理我，像我四围的列国一样。’

¹⁵you shall surely set him king over yourselves, whom Yahweh your God shall choose: one from among your brothers you shall set king over you; you may not put a foreigner over you, who is not your brother.

¹⁵你总要立耶和华你的　神拣选的人作君王管理你；你要从你的兄弟中立一位作你的君王；不可立你的兄弟以外的人作王管理你。

¹⁶Only he shall not multiply horses to himself, nor cause the people to return to Egypt, to the end that he may multiply horses; because Yahweh has said to you, “You shall not go back that way again.”

¹⁶只是君王不可为自己加添马匹，也不可使人民回埃及去，为要加添马匹，因为耶和华曾经对你们说过：‘你们不可再回到那条路去。’

¹⁷Neither shall he multiply wives to himself, that his heart not turn away: neither shall he greatly multiply to himself silver and gold.

¹⁷他也不可为自己加添妃嫔，恐怕他的心偏离了耶和华；也不可为自己积蓄极多的金钱。

¹⁸It shall be, when he sits on the throne of his kingdom, that he shall write him a copy of this law in a book, out of that which is before the priests the Levites:

¹⁸“他登上了国位的时候，就要把利未支派的祭司面前的律法书，为自己抄录一份副本。

¹⁹and it shall be with him, and he shall read therein all the days of his life; that he may learn to fear Yahweh his God, to keep all the words of this law and these statutes, to do them;

¹⁹那份副本要常在他身边，他一生的年日都要诵读，好学习敬畏耶和华他的　神，谨守遵行这律法书上的一切话和这些律例。

²⁰that his heart not be lifted up above his brothers, and that he not turn aside from the commandment, to the right hand, or to the left: to the end that he may prolong his days in his kingdom, he and his children, in the midst of Israel.

²⁰这样，他的心就不会高傲，轻看自己的兄弟，也不会偏左偏右，离了这诫命；好使他和他的子孙在以色列中，在他的国位上，可以日子长久。”
