1 "你们活在地上的一切日子， 在耶和华你列祖的 神赐给你作产业的地上， 要谨守遵行的律例和典章， 就是这些： 2 你们要把你们赶走的列国的人事奉神的地方， 无论是在高山上， 在山冈上， 或是在各青翠树下， 都要完全毁坏； 3 也要拆毁他们的祭坛， 打碎他们的神柱； 用火焚烧他们的亚舍拉， 砍倒他们的神的雕像， 并且把他们的名字从这地方除灭。 4 你们不可像他们那样事奉耶和华你的 神。 5 耶和华你们的 神从你们各支派中， 选择了什么地方作立他名的居所， 你们就当到那里求问他； 6 把你们的燔祭和其他的祭物、十分之一的礼物和手中的贡献、还愿祭和甘心祭， 以及牛群羊群中头生的， 都要带到那里去； 7 在那里， 就是在耶和华你们的 神面前， 你们和你们的家人都可以吃； 并且要因你们手所作的一切事， 都蒙耶和华你的 神赐福而欢乐。 8 我们今日在这里所行的， 是行各人看为正的事， 你们将来不可以这样行； 9 因为你们现在还没有到耶和华你的 神赐给你的安息地和产业。 10 但是你们过了约旦河， 住在耶和华你们的 神使你们承受为业的地， 又使你们太平， 脱离你们周围的所有仇敌， 安居乐业， 11 那时， 你要把我吩咐你们的燔祭和其他的祭物、十分之一的礼物和手中的贡献， 以及你们向耶和华许愿要献的最美的一切还愿祭， 都要带到耶和华你们的 神选择作为立他名的地方。 12 你们和你们的儿女、仆婢， 以及住在你们城里的利未人， 都要在耶和华你们的 神面前欢乐， 因为利未人在你们中间无分无业。 13 你要自己谨慎， 不可在你看见的任何地方献上你的燔祭； 14 只要在耶和华从你的一个支派中拣选的地方， 在那里献上你的燔祭， 在那里行我吩咐你的一切事。 15 "不过在你的各城里， 你都可以照着耶和华你的 神赐给你的福分， 随意杀牲吃肉。不洁净的人和洁净的人都可以吃， 像吃羚羊和鹿的肉一样。 16 只有血， 你们不可吃； 要倒在地上， 像倒水一样。 17 你的五谷、新酒和新油的十分之一， 你牛群羊群中头生的和你所许一切还愿的祭、你甘心献的祭和你手中的贡献， 都不可在你的城里吃； 18 你只要在耶和华你的 神面前， 和在耶和华你的 神选择的地方吃， 你和你的儿女、仆婢， 以及在你城里的利未人， 都可以吃； 你也要因你手所作的一切事在耶和华你的 神面前欢乐。 19 你要自己谨慎， 你在你那地上的日子， 永不可丢弃利未人。 20 "耶和华你的 神， 照着他应许你的， 扩张了你的境界的时候， 如果你因心里渴想吃肉， 说： ‘我想吃肉。’那么， 你就可以随意吃肉。 21 耶和华你的 神选择作立他名的地方， 如果离开你太远， 你就可以照着我吩咐你的， 把耶和华赐给你的牛羊取些宰杀了， 可以在你的城里随意地吃。 22 你吃那肉， 好像人吃羚羊和鹿的肉一样； 不洁净的人和洁净的人都可以一起吃。 23 只是你要心意坚定， 不可吃血， 因为血就是生命； 你不可把生命和肉一起吃。 24 你不可吃血， 要倒在地上， 像倒水一样。 25 你不可吃血， 好使你和你的子子孙孙得享福乐， 因为你行了耶和华看为正的事。 26 只是你要把你应有的圣物和你的还愿祭， 都带到耶和华选择的地方去， 27 把你的燔祭、肉和血， 都献在耶和华你的 神的祭坛上； 其他的祭的血， 要倒在耶和华你的 神的祭坛上； 至于那肉， 你却可以吃。 28 你要谨慎听从我吩咐你的这一切话， 好使你和你的子子孙孙永远得享福乐， 因为你行了耶和华看为好为正的事。 29 "耶和华你的 神把你将要进去赶走的列国的民， 从你的面前除灭以后， 你就得着他们的地， 住在那里。 30 那时， 你要自己谨慎， 不可在他们从你的面前被消灭以后， 随从他们的恶俗而陷入网罗， 也不可求问他们的神， 说： ‘这些国的人怎样事奉他们的神， 我也要这样行。’ 31 你不可向耶和华你的 神这样行， 因为耶和华恨恶的一切可厌恶的事， 他们都向他们的神行了， 甚至把自己的儿女用火焚烧， 献给他们的神。 32 "我吩咐你们的一切话， 你们都要谨守遵行， 不可加添， 也不可减少。"（本节在《马索拉抄本》为13:1）

1 `These [are] the statutes and the judgments which ye observe to do in the land which Jehovah, God of thy fathers, hath given to thee to possess it, all the days that ye are living on the ground:2 ye do utterly destroy all the places where the nations which ye are dispossessing served their gods, on the high mountains, and on the heights, and under every green tree;3 and ye have broken down their altars, and shivered their standing pillars, and their shrines ye burn with fire, and graven images of their gods ye cut down, and have destroyed their name out of that place.4 `Ye do not do so to Jehovah your God;5 but unto the place which Jehovah your God doth choose out of all your tribes to put His name there, to His tabernacle ye seek, and thou hast entered thither,6 and hast brought in thither your burnt-offerings, and your sacrifices, and your tithes, and the heave-offering of your hand, and your vows, and your free-will offerings, and the firstlings of your herd and of your flock;7 and ye have eaten there before Jehovah your God, and have rejoiced in every putting forth of your hand, ye and your households, with which Jehovah thy God hath blessed thee.8 `Ye do not do according to all that we are doing here to-day, each anything that is right in his own eyes,9 for ye have not come in hitherto unto the rest, and unto the inheritance, which Jehovah thy God is giving to thee;10 and ye have passed over the Jordan, and have dwelt in the land which Jehovah your God is causing you to inherit, and He hath given rest to you from all your enemies round about, and ye have dwelt confidently:11 `And it hath been, the place on which Jehovah your God doth fix to cause His name to tabernacle there, thither ye bring in all that which I am commanding you, your burnt-offerings, and your sacrifices, your tithes, and the heave-offering of your hand, and all the choice of your vows which ye vow to Jehovah;12 and ye have rejoiced before Jehovah your God, ye, and your sons, and your daughters, and your men-servants, and your handmaids, and the Levite who [is] within your gates, for he hath no part and inheritance with you.13 `Take heed to thee, lest thou cause thy burnt-offerings to ascend in any place which thou seest,14 except in the place which Jehovah doth choose in one of thy tribes, there thou dost cause thy burnt-offerings to ascend, and there thou dost do all that which I am commanding thee.15 `Only, with all the desire of thy soul thou dost sacrifice, and hast eaten flesh according to the blessing of Jehovah thy God which He hath given to thee, in all thy gates; the unclean and the clean do eat it, as of the roe, and as of the hart.16 `Only, the blood ye do not eat -- on the earth thou dost pour it as water;17 thou art not able to eat within thy gates the tithe of thy corn, and of thy new wine, and thine oil, and the firstlings of thy herd and of thy flock, and any of thy vows which thou vowest, and thy free-will offerings, and heave-offering of thy hand;18 but before Jehovah thy God thou dost eat it, in the place which Jehovah thy God doth fix on, thou, and thy son, and thy daughter, and thy man-servant, and thy handmaid, and the Levite who [is] within thy gates, and thou hast rejoiced before Jehovah thy God in every putting forth of thy hand;19 take heed to thee lest thou forsake the Levite all thy days on thy ground.20 `When Jehovah thy God doth enlarge thy border, as He hath spoken to thee, and thou hast said, Let me eat flesh -- for thy soul desireth to eat flesh -- of all the desire of thy soul thou dost eat flesh.21 `When the place is far from thee which Jehovah thy God doth choose to put His name there, then thou hast sacrificed of thy herd and of thy flock which Jehovah hath given to thee, as I have commanded thee, and hast eaten within thy gates, of all the desire of thy soul;22 only, as the roe and the hart is eaten, so dost thou eat it; the unclean and the clean doth alike eat it.23 `Only, be sure not to eat the blood, for the blood [is] the life, and thou dost not eat the life with the flesh;24 thou dost not eat it, on the earth thou dost pour it as water;25 thou dost not eat it, in order that it may be well with thee, and with thy sons after thee, when thou dost that which [is] right in the eyes of Jehovah.26 `Only, thy holy things which thou hast, and thy vows, thou dost take up, and hast gone in unto the place which Jehovah doth choose,27 and thou hast made thy burnt-offerings -- the flesh and the blood -- on the altar of Jehovah thy God; and the blood of thy sacrifices is poured out by the altar of Jehovah thy God, and the flesh thou dost eat.28 Observe, and thou hast obeyed all these words which I am commanding thee, in order that it may be well with thee and with thy sons after thee -- to the age, when thou dost that which [is] good and right in the eyes of Jehovah thy God.29 `When Jehovah thy God doth cut off the nations -- whither thou art going in to possess them -- from thy presence, and thou hast possessed them, and hast dwelt in their land --30 take heed to thee, lest thou be snared after them, after their being destroyed out of thy presence, and lest thou enquire about their gods, saying, How do these nations serve their gods, and I do so -- even I?31 `Thou dost not do so to Jehovah thy God; for every abomination of Jehovah which He is hating they have done to their gods, for even their sons and their daughters they burn with fire to their gods.32 The whole thing which I am commanding you -- it ye observe to do; thou dost not add unto it, nor diminish from it.
