1 These are the statutes and ordinances, which ye shall take heed to do in the land, which Jehovah the God of thy fathers is giving thee to possess it, all the days that ye live upon the earth.
2 Ye shall utterly destroy all the places wherein the nations which ye shall dispossess have served their gods, upon the high mountains, and upon the hills, and under every green tree;
3 and ye shall break down their altars, and shatter their statues, and burn their Asherahs with fire; and ye shall hew down the graven images of their gods, and ye shall destroy the names of them out of that place.
4 Ye shall not do so unto Jehovah your God;
5 but unto the place which Jehovah your God will choose out of all your tribes to set his name there, his habitation shall ye seek, and thither thou shalt come;
6 and thither ye shall bring your burnt-offerings and your sacrifices, and your tithes, and the heave-offering of your hand, and your vows, and your voluntary-offerings, and the firstlings of your kine and of your sheep;
7 and ye shall eat there before Jehovah your God, and ye shall rejoice, ye and your households, in all the business of your hand, wherein Jehovah thy God hath blessed thee.
8 Ye shall not do after all that we do here this day, each one whatever is right in his own eyes.
9 For ye are not as yet come to the rest and to the inheritance which Jehovah thy God giveth thee.
10 But when ye have gone over the Jordan, and dwell in the land which Jehovah your God causeth you to inherit, and when he hath given you rest from all your enemies round about, and ye dwell in safety,
11 then there shall be a place which Jehovah your God will choose to cause his name to dwell there; thither shall ye bring all that I command you: your burnt-offerings, and your sacrifices, your tithes, and the heave-offering of your hand, and all your choice vows which ye shall vow to Jehovah.
12 And ye shall rejoice before Jehovah your God, ye, and your sons, and your daughters, and your bondmen, and your handmaids, and the Levite that is within your gates; for he hath no portion nor inheritance with you.
13 Take heed to thyself that thou offer not thy burnt-offerings in every place that thou seest;
14 but in the place which Jehovah will choose in one of thy tribes, there thou shalt offer thy burnt-offerings, and there thou shalt do all that I command thee.
15 Nevertheless, according to all the desire of thy soul thou mayest slay and eat flesh in all thy gates, according to the blessing of Jehovah thy God which he hath given thee: the unclean and the clean may eat thereof, as of the gazelle, and the hart.
16 Only, ye shall not eat the blood; ye shall pour it upon the earth as water.
17 Thou mayest not eat within thy gates the tithe of thy corn, or of thy new wine, or of thine oil, or the firstlings of thy kine or of thy sheep, nor any of thy vows which thou vowest, nor thy voluntary-offerings, nor the heave-offering of thy hand;
18 but before Jehovah thy God shalt thou eat them in the place which Jehovah thy God will choose, thou and thy son, and thy daughter, and thy bondman, and thy handmaid, and the Levite that is within thy gates; and thou shalt rejoice before Jehovah thy God in all the business of thy hand.
19 Take heed to thyself that thou forsake not the Levite all the days thou shalt be in thy land.
20 When Jehovah thy God shall enlarge thy border, as he promised thee, and thou say, I will eat flesh, because thy soul longeth to eat flesh, thou mayest eat flesh, according to all the desire of thy soul.
21 If the place which Jehovah thy God will choose to set his name there be too far from thee, then thou shalt slay of thy kine and of thy sheep which Jehovah hath given thee, as I have commanded thee, and thou shalt eat in thy gates according to all the desire of thy soul.
22 Even as the gazelle and the hart is eaten, so thou shalt eat them: the unclean and the clean alike may eat of them.
23 Only, be sure that thou eat not the blood; for the blood is the life, and thou mayest not eat the life with the flesh;
24 thou shalt not eat it; thou shalt pour it upon the earth as water:
25 thou shalt not eat it; that it may go well with thee, and with thy children after thee, when thou shalt do what is right in the eyes of Jehovah.
26 But thy hallowed things which thou hast, and what thou hast vowed, thou shalt take, and come to the place which Jehovah will choose;
27 and thou shalt offer thy burnt-offerings, the flesh and the blood, upon the altar of Jehovah thy God; and the blood of thy sacrifices shall be poured out upon the altar of Jehovah thy God, and the flesh shalt thou eat.
28 Take heed to hear all these words which I command thee, that it may be well with thee, and with thy children after thee for ever, when thou doest what is good and right in the eyes of Jehovah thy God.
29 When Jehovah thy God cutteth off from before thee the nations whither thou goest, to take possession of them, and thou hast dispossessed them, and dwellest in their land,
30 take heed to thyself that thou be not ensnared {to follow} after them, after that they are destroyed from before thee; and that thou inquire not after their gods, saying, How did these nations serve their gods? even so will I do likewise.
31 Thou shalt not do so to Jehovah thy God; for every {thing that is} abomination to Jehovah, which he hateth, have they done unto their gods; for even their sons and their daughters have they burned in the fire to their gods.
32 Everything that I command you, ye shall take heed to do it; thou shalt not add thereto, nor take from it.
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）
