摩西之歌
1「諸天啊，請留心聽；
大地啊，請聽我說。
2願我的教導如雨降下，
願我的話語如露滴落，
像水滴滋潤嫩草，
像甘霖澆灌草木。
3我要宣揚耶和華的名，
你們要頌讚我們上帝的偉大。
4「祂是磐石，
祂的作為完美，
祂按公義行事，
祂信實可靠，公平正直。
5狡詐、墮落的一代啊，
你們卻對祂不忠，行事敗壞，
不配做祂的兒女。
6愚昧無知的人啊，
你們就這樣報答耶和華嗎？
祂是你們的父，你們的創造主，
祂創造了你們，塑造了你們。
7「要回顧往昔，追溯歷史；
問你們的父親，
他們必回答你們；
問你們的長者，
他們必告訴你們。
8當初，至高者賜萬國產業，
把人類分開，
祂依照天使32·8 「天使」希伯來文是「以色列的兒子」。的數目，
為萬族定疆界。
9但以色列人屬於耶和華，
雅各是祂的產業。
10「在荒涼的曠野，
在野獸吼叫的荒野，
耶和華找到他們，
庇護他們，看顧他們，
保護他們如同保護眼中的瞳人，
11又如老鷹攪動窩巢，
盤旋在雛鷹之上，展開雙翼，
背著雛鷹飛翔。
12耶和華獨自帶領他們，
身邊沒有外族神明。
13耶和華使他們馳騁在大地的高處，
吃田間的五穀，
磐石中的蜂蜜，
石頭地產的油；
14吃牛酪和羊奶，
肥美的羔羊，
巴珊的綿羊和山羊，
上好的麥子；
喝葡萄汁釀的酒。
15「但耶書崙32·15 「耶書崙」是以色列的暱稱。吃飽喝足，
養肥長壯後，就得意忘形，
背棄造他們的上帝，
藐視救他們的磐石。
16他們拜外族的神明，令祂憤恨；
行可憎之事，惹祂發怒。
17他們祭拜的不是真神，
而是鬼魔，
是他們素不認識的新神明，
是他們祖先所不敬畏的。
18他們輕視生他們的磐石，
忘記養他們的上帝。
19「耶和華看見祂兒女的惡行，
就憤然厭棄他們，
20說，『這墮落的子民，
不忠的兒女！
我要掩面不理他們，
看他們的結局如何。
21他們拜假神，讓我憤恨；
供虛無之物，惹我發怒。
我要藉無名之民挑起他們的嫉妒，
用愚昧的國民激起他們的怒氣。
22我的怒火已經點燃，
要燒到陰間的盡頭，
吞滅大地及其出產，
甚至燒毀山的根基。
23『我要使災禍連連臨到他們，
我的箭都射向他們。
24他們必飽受饑荒之苦，
被瘟疫和災禍吞噬，
被猛獸和毒蛇襲擊。
25外有刀劍殺戮，
內有恐懼籠罩，
少男、少女、嬰兒、
老人無一倖免。
26我本要消滅他們，
使世人忘記他們；
27但我不願讓敵人誇口，
宣稱這是他們的勝利，
而非我的作為。』
28「以色列人愚昧無知，毫無見識。
29如果他們有智慧，
就能明白這一切、
知道自己的結局。
30若不是他們的磐石賣掉他們，
若不是耶和華拋棄他們，
一人怎能趕散他們千人？
二人怎能擊潰他們萬人？
31我們的敵人也承認他們的磐石不如我們的磐石。
32他們猶如來自所多瑪、
長在蛾摩拉的葡萄樹，
結的葡萄粒粒有毒，串串苦澀；
33釀的酒如蛇的毒液，
如眼鏡蛇的毒液。
34「祂說，『我把這一切積存起來，
封在我的倉庫裡。
35伸冤在我，我必報應，
到時候他們必站不住腳，
他們遭禍的日子近了，
他們的末日來了。』
36「耶和華見自己的子民力量衰竭，
奴隸和自由人所剩無幾，
必為他們主持公道，
憐憫祂的僕人。
37祂必說，『你們的神明在哪裡？
庇護你們的磐石在哪裡？
38它們吃你們祭牲的脂肪，
喝你們的奠酒。
讓它們起來幫助你們，
庇護你們吧！
39『你們要知道，
唯有我是上帝；
除我之外，別無他神。
我掌管生死，我打傷、我醫治；
無人能逃出我的掌心。
40我向天伸手，
憑我的永恆起誓，
41我要磨快閃亮的劍，
主持公道，報應仇敵，
懲罰恨我的人。
42我要使我的箭飽飲鮮血，
被殺被擄之人的血；
我的劍要吞噬人肉，
敵人將領的肉。』
43「列邦啊，
你們當與祂的子民一同歡樂！
因為祂要為自己的僕人報血仇，
報應祂的仇敵，
潔淨祂的土地和子民。」
44摩西和嫩的兒子約書亞把這首詩歌讀給會眾聽。
摩西的遺囑
45讀完後，摩西又對以色列人說： 46「要謹記我今天警告你們的話，要吩咐你們的子孫謹遵這律法上的話。 47這律法不是空話，而是你們的生命。你們若遵守這律法，就必長住在約旦河對岸你們將要佔領的土地上。」
預言摩西的死
48當天，耶和華對摩西說： 49「你去耶利哥對面的摩押，登上亞巴琳山區的尼波山，觀看我要賜給以色列人作產業的迦南。 50之後，你會死在山上，歸到你祖先那裡，如亞倫在何珥山離世歸祖一樣。 51因為在荀曠野，在加低斯的米利巴泉旁，你和亞倫對我不忠，沒有在以色列人中尊我為聖。 52所以，你只能遠遠地觀看我要賜給以色列人的土地，卻不能進去。」
1Give ear, O ye heavens, and I will speak; and hear, O earth, the words of my mouth. 2My doctrine shall drop as the rain, my speech shall distil as the dew, as the small rain upon the tender herb, and as the showers upon the grass: 3Because I will publish the name of the LORD: ascribe ye greatness unto our God. 4He is the Rock, his work is perfect: for all his ways are judgment: a God of truth and without iniquity, just and right is he. 5They have corrupted themselves, their spot is not the spot of his children: they are a perverse and crooked generation.32.5 They have…: Heb. He hath corrupted to himself32.5 their…: or, that they are not his children, that is their blot 6Do ye thus requite the LORD, O foolish people and unwise? is not he thy father that hath bought thee? hath he not made thee, and established thee?
7¶ Remember the days of old, consider the years of many generations: ask thy father, and he will shew thee; thy elders, and they will tell thee.32.7 many…: Heb. generation and generation 8When the most High divided to the nations their inheritance, when he separated the sons of Adam, he set the bounds of the people according to the number of the children of Israel. 9For the LORD’s portion is his people; Jacob is the lot of his inheritance.32.9 lot: Heb. cord 10He found him in a desert land, and in the waste howling wilderness; he led him about, he instructed him, he kept him as the apple of his eye.32.10 led: or, compassed 11As an eagle stirreth up her nest, fluttereth over her young, spreadeth abroad her wings, taketh them, beareth them on her wings: 12So the LORD alone did lead him, and there was no strange god with him. 13He made him ride on the high places of the earth, that he might eat the increase of the fields; and he made him to suck honey out of the rock, and oil out of the flinty rock; 14Butter of kine, and milk of sheep, with fat of lambs, and rams of the breed of Bashan, and goats, with the fat of kidneys of wheat; and thou didst drink the pure blood of the grape.
15¶ But Jeshurun waxed fat, and kicked: thou art waxen fat, thou art grown thick, thou art covered with fatness; then he forsook God which made him, and lightly esteemed the Rock of his salvation. 16They provoked him to jealousy with strange gods, with abominations provoked they him to anger. 17They sacrificed unto devils, not to God; to gods whom they knew not, to new gods that came newly up, whom your fathers feared not.32.17 not to…: or, which were not God 18Of the Rock that begat thee thou art unmindful, and hast forgotten God that formed thee.
19And when the LORD saw it, he abhorred them, because of the provoking of his sons, and of his daughters.32.19 abhorred: or, despised 20And he said, I will hide my face from them, I will see what their end shall be: for they are a very froward generation, children in whom is no faith. 21They have moved me to jealousy with that which is not God; they have provoked me to anger with their vanities: and I will move them to jealousy with those which are not a people; I will provoke them to anger with a foolish nation. 22For a fire is kindled in mine anger, and shall burn unto the lowest hell, and shall consume the earth with her increase, and set on fire the foundations of the mountains.32.22 shall burn: or, hath burned32.22 shall consume: or, hath consumed 23I will heap mischiefs upon them; I will spend mine arrows upon them. 24They shall be burnt with hunger, and devoured with burning heat, and with bitter destruction: I will also send the teeth of beasts upon them, with the poison of serpents of the dust.32.24 heat: Heb. coals 25The sword without, and terror within, shall destroy both the young man and the virgin, the suckling also with the man of gray hairs.32.25 within: Heb. from the chambers32.25 destroy: Heb. bereave
26I said, I would scatter them into corners, I would make the remembrance of them to cease from among men: 27Were it not that I feared the wrath of the enemy, lest their adversaries should behave themselves strangely, and lest they should say, Our hand is high, and the LORD hath not done all this.32.27 Our…: or, Our high hand, and not the LORD hath done 28For they are a nation void of counsel, neither is there any understanding in them. 29O that they were wise, that they understood this, that they would consider their latter end! 30How should one chase a thousand, and two put ten thousand to flight, except their Rock had sold them, and the LORD had shut them up? 31For their rock is not as our Rock, even our enemies themselves being judges. 32For their vine is of the vine of Sodom, and of the fields of Gomorrah: their grapes are grapes of gall, their clusters are bitter:32.32 of the vine: or, worse than the vine 33Their wine is the poison of dragons, and the cruel venom of asps. 34Is not this laid up in store with me, and sealed up among my treasures? 35To me belongeth vengeance, and recompence; their foot shall slide in due time: for the day of their calamity is at hand, and the things that shall come upon them make haste. 36For the LORD shall judge his people, and repent himself for his servants, when he seeth that their power is gone, and there is none shut up, or left.32.36 power: Heb. hand 37And he shall say, Where are their gods, their rock in whom they trusted, 38Which did eat the fat of their sacrifices, and drank the wine of their drink offerings? let them rise up and help you, and be your protection.32.38 your…: Heb. an hiding for you
39See now that I, even I, am he, and there is no god with me: I kill, and I make alive; I wound, and I heal: neither is there any that can deliver out of my hand. 40For I lift up my hand to heaven, and say, I live for ever. 41If I whet my glittering sword, and mine hand take hold on judgment; I will render vengeance to mine enemies, and will reward them that hate me. 42I will make mine arrows drunk with blood, and my sword shall devour flesh; and that with the blood of the slain and of the captives, from the beginning of revenges upon the enemy. 43Rejoice, O ye nations, with his people: for he will avenge the blood of his servants, and will render vengeance to his adversaries, and will be merciful unto his land, and to his people.32.43 Rejoice…: or, Praise his people, ye nations: or, Sing ye
44¶ And Moses came and spake all the words of this song in the ears of the people, he, and Hoshea the son of Nun.32.44 Hoshea: or, Joshua 45And Moses made an end of speaking all these words to all Israel: 46And he said unto them, Set your hearts unto all the words which I testify among you this day, which ye shall command your children to observe to do, all the words of this law. 47For it is not a vain thing for you; because it is your life: and through this thing ye shall prolong your days in the land, whither ye go over Jordan to possess it. 48And the LORD spake unto Moses that selfsame day, saying, 49Get thee up into this mountain Abarim, unto mount Nebo, which is in the land of Moab, that is over against Jericho; and behold the land of Canaan, which I give unto the children of Israel for a possession: 50And die in the mount whither thou goest up, and be gathered unto thy people; as Aaron thy brother died in mount Hor, and was gathered unto his people: 51Because ye trespassed against me among the children of Israel at the waters of Meribah-Kadesh, in the wilderness of Zin; because ye sanctified me not in the midst of the children of Israel.32.51 Meribah-Kadesh: or, strife at Kadesh 52Yet thou shalt see the land before thee; but thou shalt not go thither unto the land which I give the children of Israel.
