申31:1 摩西又把这些话告诉以色列众人，
申31:1 So Moses said all these things to Israel.
申31:2 对他们说：“我现今一百二十岁，不能再照常出入了；耶和华也曾对我说：你必不得过这约旦河。
申31:2 Then he said to them, I am now a hundred and twenty years old; I am no longer able to go out and come in: and the Lord has said to me, You are not to go over Jordan.
申31:3 耶和华你的 神要亲自领你们过去，从你们面前消灭这些国的民，使你们得着他们的地，照着耶和华说过的，约书亚要亲自领你们过去。
申31:3 The Lord your God, he will go over before you; he will send destruction on all those nations, and you will take their land as your heritage: and Joshua will go over at your head as the Lord has said.
申31:4 耶和华对待他们，必好像从前对待他消灭的亚摩利人的两个王西宏和噩，以及他们的国一样。
申31:4 The Lord will do to them as he did to Sihon and to Og, the kings of the Amorites, and to their land, whom he put to destruction.
申31:5 耶和华必把他们交给你们，你们照着我吩咐你们的一切命令对待他们。
申31:5 The Lord will give them up into your hands, and you are to do to them as I have given you orders.
申31:6 你们要坚强勇敢；不要害怕，也不要因他们畏惧，因为耶和华你的 神与你同去；他决不撇下你，也不离弃你。”
申31:6 Be strong and take heart, and have no fear of them: for it is the Lord your God who is going with you; he will not take away his help from you.
申31:7 摩西把约书亚召了来，在以色列众人面前对他说：“你要坚强勇敢，因为你要和这人民一同进入耶和华向他们的列祖起誓，应许要赐给他们的地；你也要使他们得着那地为业。
申31:7 Then Moses sent for Joshua, and before the eyes of all Israel said to him, Be strong and take heart: for you are to go with this people into the land which the Lord, by his oath to their fathers, has given them; by your help they will take it for their heritage.
申31:8 耶和华亲自在你前头行，与你同在；他决不撇下你，也不离弃你；你不要害怕，也不要惊慌。”
申31:8 It is the Lord who goes before you; he will be with you, he will not take away his help from you or give you up: so have no fear.
申31:9 摩西把这律法写好了，就交给抬耶和华约柜的利未支派的祭司子孙，和以色列的众长老。
申31:9 Then Moses put all this law in writing, and gave it to the priests, the sons of Levi, who take up the ark of the Lord's agreement, and to all the responsible men of Israel.
申31:10 摩西吩咐他们：“每逢七年的最后一年，就是在豁免年的定期，住棚节期间，
申31:10 And Moses said to them, At the end of every seven years, at the time fixed for the ending of debts, at the feast of tents,
申31:11 以色列众人来到耶和华你的 神选择的地方朝见他的时候，你要在以色列众人面前把这律法宣读给他们听。
申31:11 When all Israel has come before the Lord your God in the place named by him, let a reading be given of this law in the hearing of all Israel.
申31:12 你要召集人民、男人、女人、孩子，以及你城里的寄居者，叫他们可以听见，叫他们可以学习，好敬畏耶和华你们的 神，谨守遵行这律法的一切话，
申31:12 Make all the people come together, men and women and children, and anyone from another country who is with you, so that hearing they may become wise in the fear of the Lord your God, and take care to do all the words of this law;
申31:13 也叫他们还不认识这律法的儿女可以听见，使他们在你们过约旦河去得为业的地上生活的时候，一生学习敬畏耶和华你们的 神。”
申31:13 And so that your children, to whom it is new, may give ear and be trained in the fear of the Lord your God, while you are living in the land which you are going over Jordan to take for your heritage.
申31:14 耶和华对摩西说：“看哪，你的死期临近了；你要把约书亚召来，你们二人要站在会幕里，我好吩咐他。”于是摩西和约书亚前去，一同站在会幕里。
申31:14 At that time the Lord said to Moses, The day of your death is near: send for Joshua, and come to the Tent of meeting so that I may give him his orders. So Moses and Joshua went to the Tent of meeting.
申31:15 耶和华在会幕里，在云柱中显现，这云柱停在会幕的门口上面。
申31:15 And the Lord was seen in the Tent in a pillar of cloud resting by the door of the Tent.
申31:16 耶和华对摩西说：“看哪，你快要和你的列祖长眠了；这人民要起来，在他们所要去的地方，在那地的人中，与外族人的神行邪淫，离弃我，破坏我与他们所立的约。
申31:16 And the Lord said to Moses, Now you are going to rest with your fathers; and this people will be false to me, uniting themselves to the strange gods of the land where they are going; they will be turned away from me and will not keep the agreement I have made with them.
申31:17 到了那日，我必向他们大发烈怒，离弃他们，掩面不顾他们，他们就必被吞灭，并且遭遇很多灾祸和患难。到了那日，他们必说：‘我们遭遇这些灾祸，不是因为我们的 神不在我们中间吗？’
申31:17 In that day my wrath will be moved against them, and I will be turned away from them, veiling my face from them, and destruction will overtake them, and unnumbered evils and troubles will come on them; so that in that day they will say, Have not these evils come on us because our God is not with us?
申31:18 到了那日，因为他们偏向了别的神，和所作的一切恶事，我必掩面不顾他们。
申31:18 Truly, my face will be turned away from them in that day, because of all the evil they have done in going after other gods.
申31:19 所以，现在你们要为自己写下这首诗歌来，教导以色列人，放在他们口中，使这首诗歌成为我反对他们的见证。
申31:19 Make then this song for yourselves, teaching it to the children of Israel: put it in their mouths, so that this song may be a witness for me against the children of Israel.
申31:20 因为我把他们领进了我向他们的列祖起誓应许的地，就是流奶与蜜的地，他们在那里吃饱了，发胖了，就必偏向别的神，事奉他们，藐视我，破坏我的约。
申31:20 For when I have taken them into the land named in my oath to their fathers, a land flowing with milk and honey, and they have made themselves full of food and are fat, then they will be turned to other gods and will give them worship, no longer honouring me or keeping my agreement.
申31:21 他们遭遇许多灾祸和患难的时候，这首诗歌就必在他们面前作证，因为这首诗歌必不会从他们后裔的口中忘记。其实，我还未领他们进入我起誓应许之地以先，他们今日心里所怀的意念，我都知道了。”
申31:21 Then when evils and troubles without number have overtaken them, this song will be a witness to them, for the words of it will be clear in the memories of their children: for I see the thoughts which are moving in their hearts even now, before I have taken them into the land of my oath.
申31:22 摩西就在那一天写下了这首诗歌，教导以色列人。
申31:22 So that same day Moses made this song, teaching it to the children of Israel.
申31:23 耶和华吩咐嫩的儿子约书亚，说：“你当坚强勇敢，因为你要领以色列人进我向他们起誓应许的地，我必与你同在。”
申31:23 Then he gave orders to Joshua, the son of Nun, saying to him, Be strong and take heart: for you are to go at the head of the children of Israel into the land which I made an oath to give them; and I will be with you.
申31:24 摩西把这律法的话写在书上，直到写完了，
申31:24 Now after writing all the words of this law in a book till the record of them was complete,
申31:25 摩西就吩咐抬耶和华约柜的利未人说：
申31:25 Moses said to the Levites who were responsible for taking up the ark of the Lord's agreement,
申31:26 “你们要把这律法书，放在耶和华你们的 神的约柜旁，可以在那里作反对你们的见证，
申31:26 Take this book of the law and put it by the ark of the Lord's agreement, so that it may be a witness against you.
申31:27 因为我知道你们的悖逆和硬颈。看哪，我今日还活着与你们同在的时候，你们尚且悖逆耶和华，何况我死了以后呢？
申31:27 For I have knowledge of your hard and uncontrolled hearts: even now, while I am still living, you will not be ruled by the Lord; how much less after my death?
申31:28 你们要把你们各支派的众长老和官长都召集到我这里来，我好把这些话说给他们听，并且呼天唤地对他们作证。
申31:28 Get together before me all those who are in authority in your tribes, and your overseers, so that I may say these things in their hearing, and make heaven and earth my witnesses against them.
申31:29 因为我知道我死了以后，你们必完全败坏，偏离我吩咐你们的道路；在末后的日子必有灾祸临到你们身上，因为你们必行耶和华看为恶的事，以你们手所作的事，惹他发怒。”
申31:29 For I am certain that after my death you will give yourselves up to sin, wandering from the way which I have given you; and evil will overtake you in the end, because you will do evil in the eyes of the Lord, moving him to wrath by the work of your hands.
申31:30 于是摩西把这首诗歌的话，都说给以色列的全体会众听，直到说完了。
申31:30 Then in the hearing of all the meeting of Israel, Moses said the words of this song, to the end.
