“Hear, O Israel: you are to cross over the Jordan today, to go in to dispossess nations greater and mightier than you, cities great and fortified up to heaven,
那民是
a people great and tall, the sons of the Anakim, whom you know, and of whom you have heard it said, ‘Who can stand before the sons of Anak?’
你今日當知道，耶和華──你的神在你前面過去，如同烈火，要滅絕他們，將他們制伏在你面前。這樣，你就要照耶和華所說的趕出他們，使他們速速滅亡。
Know therefore today that he who goes over before you as a consuming fire is the LORD your God. He will destroy them and subdue them before you. So you shall drive them out and make them perish quickly, as the LORD has promised you.
「耶和華──你的神將這些國民從你面前攆出以後，你心裏不可說：『耶和華將我領進來得這地是因我的義。』其實，耶和華將他們從你面前趕出去是因他們的惡。
“Do not say in your heart, after the LORD your God has thrust them out before you, ‘It is because of my righteousness that the LORD has brought me in to possess this land,’ whereas it is because of the wickedness of these nations that the LORD is driving them out before you.
你進去得他們的地，並不是因你的義，也不是因你心裏正直，乃是因這些國民的惡，耶和華──你的神將他們從你面前趕出去，又因耶和華要堅定他向你列祖
Not because of your righteousness or the uprightness of your heart are you going in to possess their land, but because of the wickedness of these nations the LORD your God is driving them out from before you, and that he may confirm the word that the LORD swore to your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob.
「你當知道，耶和華──你神將這美地賜你為業，並不是因你的義；你本是硬著頸項的百姓。
“Know, therefore, that the LORD your God is not giving you this good land to possess because of your righteousness, for you are a stubborn people.
你當記念不忘，你在曠野怎樣惹耶和華──你神發怒。自從你出了
Remember and do not forget how you provoked the LORD your God to wrath in the wilderness. From the day you came out of the land of Egypt until you came to this place, you have been rebellious against the LORD.
你們在
Even at Horeb you provoked the LORD to wrath, and the LORD was so angry with you that he was ready to destroy you.
我上了山，要領受兩塊石版，就是耶和華與你們立約的版。那時我在山上住了四十晝夜，沒有吃飯，也沒有喝水。
When I went up the mountain to receive the tablets of stone, the tablets of the covenant that the LORD made with you, I remained on the mountain forty days and forty nights. I neither ate bread nor drank water.
耶和華把那兩塊石版交給我，是神用指頭寫的。版上所寫的是照耶和華在大會的日子、在山上、從火中對你們所說的一切話。
And the LORD gave me the two tablets of stone written with the finger of God, and on them were all the words that the LORD had spoken with you on the mountain out of the midst of the fire on the day of the assembly.
過了四十晝夜，耶和華把那兩塊石版，就是約版，交給我。
And at the end of forty days and forty nights the LORD gave me the two tablets of stone, the tablets of the covenant.
對我說：『你起來，趕快下去！因為你從
Then the LORD said to me, ‘Arise, go down quickly from here, for your people whom you have brought from Egypt have acted corruptly. They have turned aside quickly out of the way that I commanded them; they have made themselves a metal image.’
「耶和華又對我說：『我看這百姓是硬著頸項的百姓。
“Furthermore, the LORD said to me, ‘I have seen this people, and behold, it is a stubborn people.
你且由著我，我要滅絕他們，將他們的名從天下塗抹，使你的後裔比他們成為更大更強的國。』
Let me alone, that I may destroy them and blot out their name from under heaven. And I will make of you a nation mightier and greater than they.’
於是我轉身下山，山被火燒著，兩塊約版在我兩手之中。
So I turned and came down from the mountain, and the mountain was burning with fire. And the two tablets of the covenant were in my two hands.
我一看見你們得罪了耶和華──你們的神，鑄成了牛犢，快快地偏離了耶和華所吩咐你們的道，
And I looked, and behold, you had sinned against the LORD your God. You had made yourselves a golden calf. You had turned aside quickly from the way that the LORD had commanded you.
我就把那兩塊版從我手中扔下去，在你們眼前摔碎了。
So I took hold of the two tablets and threw them out of my two hands and broke them before your eyes.
因你們所犯的一切罪，行了耶和華眼中看為惡的事，惹他發怒，我就像從前俯伏在耶和華面前四十晝夜，沒有吃飯，也沒有喝水。
Then I lay prostrate before the LORD as before, forty days and forty nights. I neither ate bread nor drank water, because of all the sin that you had committed, in doing what was evil in the sight of the LORD to provoke him to anger.
我因耶和華向你們大發烈怒，要滅絕你們，就甚害怕；但那次耶和華又應允了我。
For I was afraid of the anger and hot displeasure that the LORD bore against you, so that he was ready to destroy you. But the LORD listened to me that time also.
耶和華也向
And the LORD was so angry with Aaron that he was ready to destroy him. And I prayed for Aaron also at the same time.
我把那叫你們犯罪所鑄的牛犢用火焚燒，又搗碎磨得很細，以致細如灰塵，我就把這灰塵撒在從山上流下來的溪水中。
Then I took the sinful thing, the calf that you had made, and burned it with fire and crushed it, grinding it very small, until it was as fine as dust. And I threw the dust of it into the brook that ran down from the mountain.
「你們在
“At Taberah also, and at Massah and at Kibroth-hattaavah you provoked the LORD to wrath.
耶和華打發你們離開
And when the LORD sent you from Kadesh-barnea, saying, ‘Go up and take possession of the land that I have given you,’ then you rebelled against the commandment of the LORD your God and did not believe him or obey his voice.
自從我認識你們以來，你們常常悖逆耶和華。
You have been rebellious against the LORD from the day that I knew you.
「我因耶和華說要滅絕你們，就在耶和華面前照舊俯伏四十晝夜。
“So I lay prostrate before the LORD for these forty days and forty nights, because the LORD had said he would destroy you.
我祈禱耶和華說：『主耶和華啊，求你不要滅絕你的百姓。他們是你的產業，是你用大力救贖的，用大能從
And I prayed to the LORD, ‘O Lord GOD, do not destroy your people and your heritage, whom you have redeemed through your greatness, whom you have brought out of Egypt with a mighty hand.
求你記念你的僕人
Remember your servants, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Do not regard the stubbornness of this people, or their wickedness or their sin,
免得你領我們出來的那地之人說，耶和華因為不能將這百姓領進他所應許之地，又因恨他們，所以領他們出去，要在曠野殺他們。
lest the land from which you brought us say, “Because the LORD was not able to bring them into the land that he promised them, and because he hated them, he has brought them out to put them to death in the wilderness.”
其實他們是你的百姓，你的產業，是你用大能和伸出來的膀臂領出來的。』」
For they are your people and your heritage, whom you brought out by your great power and by your outstretched arm.’
