申命記 1
Chinese Union Version Modern Punctuation (Traditional)
摩西宣述昔從何烈起行之事
1 以下所記的,是摩西在約旦河東的曠野,疏弗對面的亞拉巴,就是巴蘭、陀弗、拉班、哈洗錄、底撒哈中間,向以色列眾人所說的話。 2 從何烈山經過西珥山,到加低斯巴尼亞,有十一天的路程。 3 出埃及第四十年十一月初一日,摩西照耶和華藉著他所吩咐以色列人的話,都曉諭他們。 4 那時,他已經擊殺了住希實本的亞摩利王西宏和住以得來、亞斯他錄的巴珊王噩。 5 摩西在約旦河東的摩押地講律法說: 6 「耶和華我們的神在何烈山曉諭我們說:『你們在這山上住的日子夠了, 7 要起行轉到亞摩利人的山地和靠近這山地的各處,就是亞拉巴、山地、高原、南地、沿海一帶迦南人的地,並黎巴嫩山,又到伯拉大河。 8 如今我將這地擺在你們面前,你們要進去得這地,就是耶和華向你們列祖亞伯拉罕、以撒、雅各起誓應許賜給他們和他們後裔為業之地。』
簡智慧人為長
9 「那時,我對你們說:『管理你們的重任,我獨自擔當不起。 10 耶和華你們的神使你們多起來,看哪,你們今日像天上的星那樣多! 11 唯願耶和華你們列祖的神使你們比如今更多千倍,照他所應許你們的話賜福於你們。 12 但你們的麻煩和管理你們的重任,並你們的爭訟,我獨自一人怎能擔當得起呢? 13 你們要按著各支派選舉有智慧、有見識、為眾人所認識的,我立他們為你們的首領。』 14 你們回答我說:『照你所說的行了為妙。』 15 我便將你們各支派的首領,有智慧、為眾人所認識的,照你們的支派立他們為官長、千夫長、百夫長、五十夫長、十夫長,管理你們。 16 當時,我囑咐你們的審判官說:『你們聽訟,無論是弟兄彼此爭訟,是與同居的外人爭訟,都要按公義判斷。 17 審判的時候,不可看人的外貌,聽訟不可分貴賤;不可懼怕人,因為審判是屬乎神的。若有難斷的案件,可以呈到我這裡,我就判斷。』 18 那時,我將你們所當行的事都吩咐你們了。
遣人窺地
19 「我們照著耶和華我們神所吩咐的,從何烈山起行,經過你們所看見那大而可怕的曠野,往亞摩利人的山地去,到了加低斯巴尼亞。 20 我對你們說:『你們已經到了耶和華我們神所賜給我們的亞摩利人之山地。 21 看哪,耶和華你的神已將那地擺在你面前,你要照耶和華你列祖的神所說的上去得那地為業。不要懼怕,也不要驚惶。』 22 你們都就近我來說:『我們要先打發人去,為我們窺探那地,將我們上去該走何道,必進何城,都回報我們。』 23 這話我以為美,就從你們中間選了十二個人,每支派一人。 24 於是他們起身上山地去,到以實各谷,窺探那地。 25 他們手裡拿著那地的果子下來,到我們那裡,回報說:『耶和華我們的神所賜給我們的是美地。』
民眾弗信
26 「你們卻不肯上去,竟違背了耶和華你們神的命令, 27 在帳篷內發怨言說:『耶和華因為恨我們,所以將我們從埃及地領出來,要交在亞摩利人手中,除滅我們。 28 我們上哪裡去呢?我們的弟兄使我們的心消化,說那地的民比我們又大又高,城邑又廣大又堅固,高得頂天,並且我們在那裡看見亞衲族的人。』 29 我就對你們說:『不要驚恐,也不要怕他們。 30 在你們前面行的耶和華你們的神必為你們爭戰,正如他在埃及和曠野,在你們眼前所行的一樣。 31 你們在曠野所行的路上,也曾見耶和華你們的神撫養你們,如同人撫養兒子一般,直等你們來到這地方。』 32 你們在這事上卻不信耶和華你們的神! 33 他在路上,在你們前面行,為你們找安營的地方,夜間在火柱裡、日間在雲柱裡,指示你們所當行的路。
34 「耶和華聽見你們這話,就發怒,起誓說: 35 『這惡世代的人,連一個也不得見我起誓應許賜給你們列祖的美地。 36 唯有耶孚尼的兒子迦勒必得看見,並且我要將他所踏過的地賜給他和他的子孫,因為他專心跟從我。』 37 耶和華為你的緣故也向我發怒,說:『你必不得進入那地。 38 伺候你,嫩的兒子約書亞,他必得進入那地。你要勉勵他,因為他要使以色列人承受那地為業。 39 並且你們的婦人孩子,就是你們所說必被擄掠的,和今日不知善惡的兒女,必進入那地。我要將那地賜給他們,他們必得為業。 40 至於你們,要轉回,從紅海的路往曠野去。』
41 「那時,你們回答我說:『我們得罪了耶和華,情願照耶和華我們神一切所吩咐的上去爭戰。』於是你們各人帶著兵器,爭先上山地去了。
在何珥瑪敗績
42 「耶和華吩咐我說:『你對他們說:不要上去,也不要爭戰,因我不在你們中間,恐怕你們被仇敵殺敗了。』 43 我就告訴了你們,你們卻不聽從,竟違背耶和華的命令,擅自上山地去了。 44 住那山地的亞摩利人就出來攻擊你們,追趕你們,如蜂擁一般,在西珥殺退你們,直到何珥瑪。 45 你們便回來,在耶和華面前哭號。耶和華卻不聽你們的聲音,也不向你們側耳。 46 於是你們在加低斯住了許多日子。
Deuteronomy 1
King James Version
1 These be the words which Moses spake unto all Israel on this side Jordan in the wilderness, in the plain over against the Red sea, between Paran, and Tophel, and Laban, and Hazeroth, and Dizahab.
2 (There are eleven days' journey from Horeb by the way of mount Seir unto Kadeshbarnea.)
3 And it came to pass in the fortieth year, in the eleventh month, on the first day of the month, that Moses spake unto the children of Israel, according unto all that the Lord had given him in commandment unto them;
4 After he had slain Sihon the king of the Amorites, which dwelt in Heshbon, and Og the king of Bashan, which dwelt at Astaroth in Edrei:
5 On this side Jordan, in the land of Moab, began Moses to declare this law, saying,
6 The Lord our God spake unto us in Horeb, saying, Ye have dwelt long enough in this mount:
7 Turn you, and take your journey, and go to the mount of the Amorites, and unto all the places nigh thereunto, in the plain, in the hills, and in the vale, and in the south, and by the sea side, to the land of the Canaanites, and unto Lebanon, unto the great river, the river Euphrates.
8 Behold, I have set the land before you: go in and possess the land which the Lord sware unto your fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, to give unto them and to their seed after them.
9 And I spake unto you at that time, saying, I am not able to bear you myself alone:
10 The Lord your God hath multiplied you, and, behold, ye are this day as the stars of heaven for multitude.
11 (The Lord God of your fathers make you a thousand times so many more as ye are, and bless you, as he hath promised you!)
12 How can I myself alone bear your cumbrance, and your burden, and your strife?
13 Take you wise men, and understanding, and known among your tribes, and I will make them rulers over you.
14 And ye answered me, and said, The thing which thou hast spoken is good for us to do.
15 So I took the chief of your tribes, wise men, and known, and made them heads over you, captains over thousands, and captains over hundreds, and captains over fifties, and captains over tens, and officers among your tribes.
16 And I charged your judges at that time, saying, Hear the causes between your brethren, and judge righteously between every man and his brother, and the stranger that is with him.
17 Ye shall not respect persons in judgment; but ye shall hear the small as well as the great; ye shall not be afraid of the face of man; for the judgment is God's: and the cause that is too hard for you, bring it unto me, and I will hear it.
18 And I commanded you at that time all the things which ye should do.
19 And when we departed from Horeb, we went through all that great and terrible wilderness, which ye saw by the way of the mountain of the Amorites, as the Lord our God commanded us; and we came to Kadeshbarnea.
20 And I said unto you, Ye are come unto the mountain of the Amorites, which the Lord our God doth give unto us.
21 Behold, the Lord thy God hath set the land before thee: go up and possess it, as the Lord God of thy fathers hath said unto thee; fear not, neither be discouraged.
22 And ye came near unto me every one of you, and said, We will send men before us, and they shall search us out the land, and bring us word again by what way we must go up, and into what cities we shall come.
23 And the saying pleased me well: and I took twelve men of you, one of a tribe:
24 And they turned and went up into the mountain, and came unto the valley of Eshcol, and searched it out.
25 And they took of the fruit of the land in their hands, and brought it down unto us, and brought us word again, and said, It is a good land which the Lord our God doth give us.
26 Notwithstanding ye would not go up, but rebelled against the commandment of the Lord your God:
27 And ye murmured in your tents, and said, Because the Lord hated us, he hath brought us forth out of the land of Egypt, to deliver us into the hand of the Amorites, to destroy us.
28 Whither shall we go up? our brethren have discouraged our heart, saying, The people is greater and taller than we; the cities are great and walled up to heaven; and moreover we have seen the sons of the Anakims there.
29 Then I said unto you, Dread not, neither be afraid of them.
30 The Lord your God which goeth before you, he shall fight for you, according to all that he did for you in Egypt before your eyes;
31 And in the wilderness, where thou hast seen how that the Lord thy God bare thee, as a man doth bear his son, in all the way that ye went, until ye came into this place.
32 Yet in this thing ye did not believe the Lord your God,
33 Who went in the way before you, to search you out a place to pitch your tents in, in fire by night, to shew you by what way ye should go, and in a cloud by day.
34 And the Lord heard the voice of your words, and was wroth, and sware, saying,
35 Surely there shall not one of these men of this evil generation see that good land, which I sware to give unto your fathers.
36 Save Caleb the son of Jephunneh; he shall see it, and to him will I give the land that he hath trodden upon, and to his children, because he hath wholly followed the Lord.
37 Also the Lord was angry with me for your sakes, saying, Thou also shalt not go in thither.
38 But Joshua the son of Nun, which standeth before thee, he shall go in thither: encourage him: for he shall cause Israel to inherit it.
39 Moreover your little ones, which ye said should be a prey, and your children, which in that day had no knowledge between good and evil, they shall go in thither, and unto them will I give it, and they shall possess it.
40 But as for you, turn you, and take your journey into the wilderness by the way of the Red sea.
41 Then ye answered and said unto me, We have sinned against the Lord, we will go up and fight, according to all that the Lord our God commanded us. And when ye had girded on every man his weapons of war, ye were ready to go up into the hill.
42 And the Lord said unto me, Say unto them. Go not up, neither fight; for I am not among you; lest ye be smitten before your enemies.
43 So I spake unto you; and ye would not hear, but rebelled against the commandment of the Lord, and went presumptuously up into the hill.
44 And the Amorites, which dwelt in that mountain, came out against you, and chased you, as bees do, and destroyed you in Seir, even unto Hormah.
45 And ye returned and wept before the Lord; but the Lord would not hearken to your voice, nor give ear unto you.
46 So ye abode in Kadesh many days, according unto the days that ye abode there.
Deuteronomy 1
New International Version
The Command to Leave Horeb
1 These are the words Moses spoke to all Israel in the wilderness east of the Jordan(A)—that is, in the Arabah(B)—opposite Suph, between Paran(C) and Tophel, Laban, Hazeroth and Dizahab. 2 (It takes eleven days to go from Horeb(D) to Kadesh Barnea(E) by the Mount Seir(F) road.)(G)
3 In the fortieth year,(H) on the first day of the eleventh month,(I) Moses proclaimed(J) to the Israelites all that the Lord had commanded him concerning them. 4 This was after he had defeated Sihon(K) king of the Amorites,(L) who reigned in Heshbon,(M) and at Edrei had defeated Og(N) king of Bashan, who reigned in Ashtaroth.(O)
5 East of the Jordan in the territory of Moab,(P) Moses began to expound this law, saying:
6 The Lord our God said to us(Q) at Horeb,(R) “You have stayed long enough(S) at this mountain. 7 Break camp and advance into the hill country of the Amorites;(T) go to all the neighboring peoples in the Arabah,(U) in the mountains, in the western foothills, in the Negev(V) and along the coast, to the land of the Canaanites(W) and to Lebanon,(X) as far as the great river, the Euphrates.(Y) 8 See, I have given you this land(Z).(AA) Go in and take possession of the land the Lord swore(AB) he would give to your fathers—to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob—and to their descendants after them.”
The Appointment of Leaders
9 At that time I said to you, “You are too heavy a burden(AC) for me to carry alone.(AD) 10 The Lord your God has increased(AE) your numbers(AF) so that today you are as numerous(AG) as the stars in the sky.(AH) 11 May the Lord, the God of your ancestors, increase(AI) you a thousand times and bless you as he has promised!(AJ) 12 But how can I bear your problems and your burdens and your disputes all by myself?(AK) 13 Choose some wise, understanding and respected men(AL) from each of your tribes, and I will set them over you.”
14 You answered me, “What you propose to do is good.”
15 So I took(AM) the leading men of your tribes,(AN) wise and respected men,(AO) and appointed them to have authority over you—as commanders(AP) of thousands, of hundreds, of fifties and of tens and as tribal officials.(AQ) 16 And I charged your judges at that time, “Hear the disputes between your people and judge(AR) fairly,(AS) whether the case is between two Israelites or between an Israelite and a foreigner residing among you.(AT) 17 Do not show partiality(AU) in judging; hear both small and great alike. Do not be afraid of anyone,(AV) for judgment belongs to God. Bring me any case too hard for you, and I will hear it.”(AW) 18 And at that time I told you everything you were to do.(AX)
Spies Sent Out
19 Then, as the Lord our God commanded us, we set out from Horeb and went toward the hill country of the Amorites(AY) through all that vast and dreadful wilderness(AZ) that you have seen, and so we reached Kadesh Barnea.(BA) 20 Then I said to you, “You have reached the hill country of the Amorites, which the Lord our God is giving us. 21 See, the Lord your God has given you the land. Go up and take possession(BB) of it as the Lord, the God of your ancestors, told you. Do not be afraid;(BC) do not be discouraged.”(BD)
22 Then all of you came to me and said, “Let us send men ahead to spy(BE) out the land(BF) for us and bring back a report about the route we are to take and the towns we will come to.”
23 The idea seemed good to me; so I selected(BG) twelve of you, one man from each tribe. 24 They left and went up into the hill country, and came to the Valley of Eshkol(BH) and explored it. 25 Taking with them some of the fruit of the land, they brought it down to us and reported,(BI) “It is a good land(BJ) that the Lord our God is giving us.”(BK)
Rebellion Against the Lord
26 But you were unwilling to go up;(BL) you rebelled(BM) against the command of the Lord your God. 27 You grumbled(BN) in your tents and said, “The Lord hates us; so he brought us out of Egypt to deliver us into the hands of the Amorites to destroy us. 28 Where can we go? Our brothers have made our hearts melt in fear. They say, ‘The people are stronger and taller(BO) than we are; the cities are large, with walls up to the sky. We even saw the Anakites(BP) there.’”
29 Then I said to you, “Do not be terrified; do not be afraid(BQ) of them.(BR) 30 The Lord your God, who is going before you, will fight(BS) for you, as he did for you in Egypt, before your very eyes, 31 and in the wilderness. There you saw how the Lord your God carried(BT) you, as a father carries his son, all the way you went until you reached this place.”(BU)
32 In spite of this,(BV) you did not trust(BW) in the Lord your God, 33 who went ahead of you on your journey, in fire by night and in a cloud by day,(BX) to search(BY) out places for you to camp and to show you the way you should go.
34 When the Lord heard(BZ) what you said, he was angry(CA) and solemnly swore:(CB) 35 “No one from this evil generation shall see the good land(CC) I swore to give your ancestors, 36 except Caleb(CD) son of Jephunneh. He will see it, and I will give him and his descendants the land he set his feet on, because he followed the Lord wholeheartedly.(CE)”
37 Because of you the Lord became angry(CF) with me also and said, “You shall not enter(CG) it, either. 38 But your assistant, Joshua(CH) son of Nun, will enter it. Encourage(CI) him, because he will lead(CJ) Israel to inherit(CK) it. 39 And the little ones that you said would be taken captive,(CL) your children who do not yet know(CM) good from bad—they will enter the land. I will give it to them and they will take possession of it. 40 But as for you, turn around and set out toward the desert along the route to the Red Sea.[a](CN)”
41 Then you replied, “We have sinned against the Lord. We will go up and fight, as the Lord our God commanded us.” So every one of you put on his weapons, thinking it easy to go up into the hill country.
42 But the Lord said to me, “Tell them, ‘Do not go up and fight, because I will not be with you. You will be defeated by your enemies.’”(CO)
43 So I told you, but you would not listen. You rebelled against the Lord’s command and in your arrogance you marched up into the hill country. 44 The Amorites who lived in those hills came out against you; they chased you like a swarm of bees(CP) and beat you down from Seir(CQ) all the way to Hormah.(CR) 45 You came back and wept before the Lord,(CS) but he paid no attention(CT) to your weeping and turned a deaf ear(CU) to you. 46 And so you stayed in Kadesh(CV) many days—all the time you spent there.
