申命记 12
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
合宜的敬拜
12 “只要你们生活在你们祖先的上帝耶和华赐给你们的土地上，就要谨遵以下律例和典章。
2 “你们赶走那里的列邦后，要彻底摧毁他们在高山上、丘陵上、绿树下供奉其神明的地方。 3 你们要拆毁他们的祭坛，打碎他们的神柱，焚烧他们的亚舍拉神像，砍倒他们的偶像，使它们的名字从那里消失。 4 你们不可按照他们的方式敬拜你们的上帝耶和华。 5 你们的上帝耶和华要在你们众支派中选一个地方作祂的居所，你们要去那里敬拜祂， 6 把你们的燔祭及其他祭物、十一奉献、举祭、还愿祭、自愿献的祭和头生的牛羊带到那里。 7 你们和家人要在那里，在你们的上帝耶和华面前吃喝；要为你们所做的一切蒙祂赐福而欢喜快乐。
8 “你们不可再像今日这样各行其是， 9 因为到如今你们还没有进入你们的上帝耶和华赐给你们作产业的安歇之地。 10 但不久你们将渡过约旦河，定居在那片土地上。耶和华将使你们四境太平，安然居住， 11 你们要把我吩咐你们献的燔祭、各种牲祭、十一奉献、举祭和一切还愿祭带到你们的上帝耶和华选定的敬拜场所。 12 在那里，你们和儿女、仆婢及同城中没有分到土地作产业的利未人，要一起在你们的上帝耶和华面前欢喜快乐。 13 你们不可随处向耶和华献燔祭。 14 耶和华会在你们的一个支派中选定敬拜的场所，你们只可以在那里献燔祭，做我吩咐你们的一切事。
15 “你们可以随时在居住的各城宰杀牲畜吃，享受你们的上帝耶和华所赐的福，像吃羚羊和鹿一样。洁净的人和不洁净的人都可以吃。 16 但你们不可吃血。要把血倒在地上，像倒水一样。 17 不可在你们的城里吃十一奉献的谷物、新酒和油、头生的牛羊、还愿祭、自愿献的祭和举祭； 18 要在你们的上帝耶和华选定的地方，与儿女、仆婢及同城的利未人一起在耶和华面前吃。要为你们所做的一切，在你们的上帝耶和华面前欢喜快乐。 19 切记，只要你们还住在自己的土地上，就不可忘记利未人。
20 “你们的上帝耶和华按照祂的应许扩展你们的疆域后，你们若想吃肉，随时都可以吃。 21 如果你们的上帝耶和华选定的敬拜场所离你们太远，你们可以在自己的城里，按照我的吩咐，随时宰杀耶和华赐给你们的牛羊吃， 22 就像你们吃羚羊和鹿一样。洁净的人和不洁净的人都可以吃。 23 但你们不可吃血，因为血就是生命；你们不可把生命和肉一起吃， 24 要把血倒在地上，像倒水一样。 25 你们要做耶和华视为正的事——不可吃血，以便你们及子孙凡事顺利。 26 你们要把圣物和还愿祭带到耶和华选定的地方。 27 你们要在你们的上帝耶和华的祭坛上献燔祭，连肉带血都要献上。要把其他祭牲的血倒在坛上，但可以吃祭肉。 28 你们要认真听从我给你们的这些吩咐，做你们的上帝耶和华视为正与善的事，以便你们及子孙凡事顺利，直到永远。
29 “你们的上帝耶和华将为你们铲除列国。你们要赶走他们，住在他们的土地上。 30 那时，你们要谨慎，不可受诱惑去效法他们的习俗，不可打听他们神明的事，说，‘这些民族怎样供奉他们的神明呢？我也要效法。’ 31 你们不可按照他们的方式敬拜你们的上帝耶和华。他们祭拜自己神明的种种行为令耶和华憎恶，他们甚至焚烧自己的儿女献给他们的神明。
32 “你们要谨遵我的一切吩咐，不可增添，也不可删减。
Deuteronomy 12
English Standard Version
The Lord's Chosen Place of Worship
12 (A)“These are the statutes and rules that you shall be careful to do in the land that the Lord, the God of your fathers, has given you to possess, (B)all the days that you live on the earth. 2 (C)You shall surely destroy all the places where the nations whom you shall dispossess served their gods, (D)on the high mountains and on the hills and under every green tree. 3 You shall tear down their altars and dash in pieces (E)their pillars and burn their (F)Asherim with fire. You shall chop down the carved images of their gods and (G)destroy their name out of that place. 4 (H)You shall not worship the Lord your God in that way. 5 But you shall seek (I)the place that the Lord your God will choose out of all your tribes to put his name and make his habitation[a] there. There you shall go, 6 and there you shall bring your burnt offerings and your sacrifices, (J)your tithes and the contribution that you present, your vow offerings, your freewill offerings, and the (K)firstborn of your herd and of your flock. 7 And (L)there you shall eat before the Lord your God, and (M)you shall rejoice, you and your households, in all that you undertake, in which the Lord your God has blessed you.
8 “You shall not do according to all that we are doing here today, (N)everyone doing whatever is right in his own eyes, 9 for you have not as yet come to (O)the rest and to the inheritance that the Lord your God is giving you. 10 But when (P)you go over the Jordan and live in the land that the Lord your God is giving you to inherit, (Q)and when he gives you rest from all your enemies around, so that you live in safety, 11 then to (R)the place that the Lord your God will choose, to make his name dwell there, there you shall bring all that I command you: your burnt offerings and your sacrifices, (S)your tithes and the contribution that you present, and all your finest vow offerings that you vow to the Lord. 12 And (T)you shall rejoice before the Lord your God, you and your sons and your daughters, your male servants and your female servants, and the Levite that is within your towns, since (U)he has no portion or inheritance with you. 13 (V)Take care that you do not offer your burnt offerings at any place that you see, 14 but at (W)the place that the Lord will choose in one of your tribes, there you shall offer your burnt offerings, and there you shall do all that I am commanding you.
15 “However, you may slaughter and eat meat within any of your towns, as much as you desire, (X)according to the blessing of the Lord your God that he has given you. (Y)The unclean and the clean may eat of it, as of the gazelle and as of the deer. 16 (Z)Only you shall not eat the blood; you shall pour it out on the earth like water. 17 You may not eat within your towns (AA)the tithe of your grain or of your wine or of your oil, or the firstborn of your herd or of your flock, or any of your vow offerings that you vow, or your freewill offerings or the contribution that you present, 18 but (AB)you shall eat them before the Lord your God in (AC)the place that the Lord your God will choose, you and your son and your daughter, your male servant and your female servant, and the Levite who is within your towns. And (AD)you shall rejoice before the Lord your God in all that you undertake. 19 (AE)Take care that you do not neglect the Levite as long as you live in your land.
20 “When the Lord your God (AF)enlarges your territory, (AG)as he has promised you, and you say, ‘I will eat meat,’ because you crave meat, you may eat meat whenever you desire. 21 If (AH)the place that the Lord your God will choose to put his name there is too far from you, (AI)then you may kill any of your herd or your flock, which the Lord has given you, as I have commanded you, and you may eat within your towns whenever you desire. 22 Just (AJ)as the gazelle or the deer is eaten, so you may eat of it. (AK)The unclean and the clean alike may eat of it. 23 (AL)Only be sure that you do not eat the blood, (AM)for the blood is the life, and you shall not eat the life with the flesh. 24 You shall not eat it; you shall pour it out on the earth like water. 25 You shall not eat it, (AN)that all may go well with you and with your children after you, (AO)when you do what is right in the sight of the Lord. 26 But the (AP)holy things that are due from you, and (AQ)your vow offerings, you shall take, and you shall go to (AR)the place that the Lord will choose, 27 and (AS)offer your burnt offerings, the flesh and the blood, on the altar of the Lord your God. The blood of your sacrifices shall be poured out on the altar of the Lord your God, but the flesh you may eat. 28 Be careful to obey all these words that I command you, (AT)that it may go well with you and with your children after you forever, when you do what is good and right in the sight of the Lord your God.
Warning Against Idolatry
29 “When (AU)the Lord your God cuts off before you the nations whom you go in to dispossess, and you dispossess them and dwell in their land, 30 take care (AV)that you be not ensnared to follow them, after they have been destroyed before you, and that you do not inquire about their gods, saying, ‘How did these nations serve their gods?—that I also may do the same.’ 31 (AW)You shall not worship the Lord your God in that way, for every (AX)abominable thing that the Lord hates they have done for their gods, for (AY)they even burn their sons and their daughters in the fire to their gods.
32 [b] “Everything that I command you, you shall be careful to do. (AZ)You shall not add to it or take from it.
