Deuteronomy 26

1 Also when thou shalt come into the lande which the Lord thy God giueth thee for inheritance, and shalt possesse it, and dwell therein,

“你进去得了耶和华—你 神所赐你为业之地居住，

2 Then shalt thou take of the first of all the fruite of the earth, and bring it out of the lande that the Lord thy God giueth thee, and put it in a basket, and goe vnto the place, which the Lord thy God shall chose to place his Name there.

就要从耶和华—你 神赐你的地上将所收的各种初熟的土产取些来，盛在筐子里，往耶和华—你 神所选择要立为他名的居所去，

3 And thou shalt come vnto the Priest, that shall be in those dayes, and say vnto him, I acknowledge this day vnto the Lord thy God, that I am come vnto the countrey which the Lord sware vnto our fathers for to giue vs.

见当时作祭司的，对他说：‘我今日向耶和华—你 神明认，我已来到耶和华向我们列祖起誓应许赐给我们的地。’

4 Then the Priest shall take the basket out of thine hand, and set it downe before the altar of the Lord thy God.

祭司就从你手里取过筐子来，放在耶和华—你 神的坛前。

5 And thou shalt answere and say before the Lord thy God, A Syrian was my father, who being ready to perish for hunger, went downe into Egypt, and soiourned there with a small company, and grew there vnto a nation great, mightie and full of people.

你要在耶和华—你 神面前说：‘我祖原是一个将亡的亚兰人，下到埃及寄居。他人口稀少，在那里却成了又大又强、人数很多的国民。

6 And the Egyptians vexed vs, and troubled vs, and laded vs with cruell bondage.

埃及人恶待我们，苦害我们，将苦工加在我们身上。

7 But when we cried vnto the Lord God of our fathers, the Lord heard our voyce, and looked on our aduersitie, and on our labour, and on our oppression.

于是我们哀求耶和华—我们列祖的 神，耶和华听见我们的声音，看见我们所受的困苦、劳碌、欺压，

8 And the Lord brought vs out of Egypt in a mightie hande, and a stretched out arme, with great terriblenesse, both in signes and wonders.

他就用大能的手和伸出来的膀臂，并大可畏的事与神迹奇事，领我们出了埃及，

9 And he hath brought vs into this place, and hath giuen vs this land, euen a lande that floweth with milke and hony.

将我们领进这地方，把这流奶与蜜之地赐给我们。

10 And now, lo, I haue brought ye first fruites of the land which thou, O Lord, hast giuen me, and thou shalt set it before the Lord thy God, and worship before the Lord thy God:

耶和华啊，现在我把你所赐给我地上初熟的土产奉了来。’随后你要把筐子放在耶和华—你 神面前，向耶和华—你的 神下拜。

11 And thou shalt reioyce in all the good things which the Lord thy God hath giuen vnto thee and to thine houshold, thou and the Leuite, and the stranger that is among you.

你和利未人，并在你们中间寄居的，要因耶和华—你 神所赐你和你家的一切福分欢乐。

12 When thou hast made an end of tithing all the tythes of thine increase, the thirde yeere, which is the yeere of tithing, and hast giuen it vnto the Leuite, to the stranger, to the fatherlesse, and to the widowe, that they may eate within thy gates, and be satisfied,

“每逢三年，就是十分取一之年，你取完了一切土产的十分之一，要分给利未人和寄居的，与孤儿寡妇，使他们在你城中可以吃得饱足。

13 Then thou shalt say before the Lord thy God, I haue brought the halowed thing out of mine house, and also haue giuen it vnto the Leuites and to the strangers, to the fatherlesse, and to the widow, according to all thy comandements which thou hast commanded me: I haue transgressed none of thy comandements, nor forgotten them.

你又要在耶和华—你 神面前说：‘我已将圣物从我家里拿出来，给了利未人和寄居的，与孤儿寡妇，是照你所吩咐我的一切命令。你的命令我都没有违背，也没有忘记。

14 I haue not eaten therof in my mourning, nor suffred ought to perish through vncleannes, nor giuen ought thereof for the dead, but haue hearkened vnto the voyce of the Lord my God: I haue done after al that thou hast comaded me.

我守丧的时候，没有吃这圣物；不洁净的时候，也没有拿出来，又没有为死人送去。我听从了耶和华—我 神的话，都照你所吩咐的行了。

15 Looke downe from thine holy habitation, euen from heauen, and blesse thy people Israel, and the lande which thou hast giuen vs (as thou swarest vnto our fathers) the land that floweth with milke and hony.

求你从天上、你的圣所垂看，赐福给你的百姓以色列与你所赐给我们的地，就是你向我们列祖起誓赐我们流奶与蜜之地。’”

16 This day the Lord thy God doeth command thee to do these ordinances, and lawes: keepe them therefore, and do them with al thine heart, and with all thy soule.

“耶和华—你的 神今日吩咐你行这些律例典章，所以你要尽心尽性谨守遵行。

17 Thou hast set vp the Lord this day to be thy God, and to walke in his wayes, and to keepe his ordinances, and his commandements, and his lawes, and to hearken vnto his voyce.

你今日认耶和华为你的 神，应许遵行他的道，谨守他的律例、诫命、典章，听从他的话。

18 And the Lord hath set thee vp this day, to be a precious people vnto him (as hee hath promised thee) and that thou shouldest keepe all his commandements,

耶和华今日照他所应许你的，也认你为他的子民，使你谨守他的一切诫命，

19 And to make thee high aboue al nations (which he hath made) in praise, and in name, and in glory, and that thou shouldest be an holy people vnto the Lord thy God, as he hath said.

又使你得称赞、美名、尊荣，超乎他所造的万民之上，并照他所应许的使你归耶和华—你 神为圣洁的民。”
