28If,however,thewomanhasnotdefiledherself,butisstillpure,shewillbeimmuneandwillstillbeabletobearchildren.

7andsaid,＂Althoughweareuncleanbecauseofacorpse,whyshouldwebedeprivedofpresentingtheLORD'SofferingatitspropertimealongwiththeotherIsraelites?＂
这些人对他说：＂我们沾染了死人的不洁；为什么我们就被拒绝，而不能在以色列子民中，于定期内奉献上主供物？＂
8Mosesansweredthem,＂WaituntilIlearnwhattheLORDwillcommandinyourregard.＂
梅瑟对他们说：＂你们等一下，我去听上主对你们有何吩咐。＂
9TheLORDthensaidtoMoses:
上主吩咐梅瑟说：
10＂SpeaktotheIsraelitesandsay:Ifanyoneofyouorofyourdescendantsisuncleanbecauseofacorpse,orifheisabsentonajourney,hemaystillkeeptheLORD'SPassover.
＂你训示以色列子民说：几时你们中或你们后裔中，若有人沾了死人的不洁，或因到远方旅行，仍要为上主举行踰越节，
11Butheshallkeepitinthesecondmonth,duringtheeveningtwilightofthefourteenthdayofthatmonth,eatingitwithunleavenedbreadandbitterherbs,
应在二月十四日黄昏举行，同时吃无酵饼和苦菜，
12andnotleavinganyofitovertillmorning,norbreakinganyofitsbones,butobservingalltherulesofthePassover.
不要剩下什么到早晨，也不要折断羔羊的骨头：应全依照踰越节的规定举行此节。
13However,anyonewhoiscleanandnotawayonajourney,whoyetfailstokeepthePassover,shallbecutofffromhispeople,becausehedidnotpresenttheLORD'Sofferingattheprescribedtime.Thatmanshallbeartheconsequencesofhissin.
但如有人是洁净的，又不在旅行中，竟忽略了过踰越节，这人就应由民间铲除，因为他没有在定期内奉献上主供物，这人应自负罪债。
141＂IfanalienwholivesamongyouwishestokeeptheLORD'SPassover,hetooshallobservetherulesandregulationsforthePassover.Youshallhavethesamelawfortheresidentalienasforthenativeoftheland.＂
至于与你们同住的侨民，若为上主举行踰越节，应按照踰越节的规定和礼仪举行；不论是侨民，或是本国公民，你们应守同样的法律。＂
152OnthedaywhentheDwellingwaserected,thecloudcoveredtheDwelling,thetentofthecommandments;butfromeveninguntilmorningittookontheappearanceoffireovertheDwelling.
在竖立帐幕那一天，有云彩遮盖了帐幕，即会幕；到晚上云彩停在帐幕上，形状似火，直到早晨。
16Itwasalwaysso:duringthedaytheDwellingwascoveredbythecloud,whichatnighthadtheappearanceoffire.
白天有云彩遮盖，夜间云彩形状似火：常是如此。
17Wheneverthecloudrosefromthetent,theIsraeliteswouldbreakcamp;whereverthecloudcametorest,theywouldpitchcamp.
几时云彩由帐幕上升起，以色列子民随即起程；云彩在那里停住了，以色列子民就在那里扎营。
18AtthebiddingoftheLORDtheIsraelitesmovedon,andathisbiddingtheyencamped.AslongasthecloudstayedovertheDwelling,theyremainedincamp.
以色列子民照上主的命令起程，亦照上主的命令扎营：云彩停留在帐幕上几日，他们就几日扎营不动。
19EvenwhenthecloudtarriedmanydaysovertheDwelling,theIsraelitesobeyedtheLORDandwouldnotmoveon;
云彩若多日停留在帐幕上，以色列子民就遵照上主的命令，不移营前行。
20yetsometimesthecloudwasovertheDwellingonlyforafewdays.ItwasatthebiddingoftheLORDthattheystayedincamp,anditwasathisbiddingthattheydeparted.
有时云彩只数日停留在帐幕上，他们就依照上主的命令扎营不动，并依照上主的命令起程。
21Sometimesthecloudremainedthereonlyfromeveninguntilmorning;andwhenitroseinthemorning,theywoulddepart.Orifthecloudliftedduringtheday,orevenatnight,theywouldthensetout.
有时云彩从晚上到早晨停住，一到早晨就上升，他们就随之起程；或者一日一夜以后才上升，他们也随之起程。
22WhetherthecloudtarriedovertheDwellingfortwodaysorforamonthorlonger,theIsraelitesremainedincampanddidnotdepart;butwhenitlifted,theymovedon.
如云彩两日或一月，或一年停留在帐幕上，无论停留多久，以色列子民也就安营不动多久；只在云彩上升时，方起程前行。
23Thus,itwasalwaysatthebiddingoftheLORDthattheyencamped,andathisbiddingthattheysetout;everheedingthechargeoftheLORD,ashehadbiddenthemthroughMoses.
他们依照上主的命令扎营，依照上主的命令起程；他们全照上主藉梅瑟所吩咐的，遵守上主的训示。

当时人民怨声载道，怨声已传入上主的耳中；上主听见，遂发怒；上主的火在他们中燃起，焚烧了营幕的边缘。
2ButwhenthepeoplecriedouttoMoses,heprayedtotheLORDandthefirediedout.
人民遂向梅瑟求救；梅瑟恳求了上主，火就熄灭了，

梅瑟听见百姓家家户户，各在帐棚门口悲哭。上主大发忿怒，梅瑟见了也很难受，
11＂Whydoyoutreatyourservantsobadly?＂MosesaskedtheLORD.＂Whyareyousodispleasedwithmethatyouburdenmewithallthispeople?
遂对上主说：＂你为什么难为你的仆人？为什么我在你眼中不蒙宠幸，竟将管理这百姓的担子全放在我身上？
12WasitIwhoconceivedallthispeople?orwasitIwhogavethembirth,thatyoutellmetocarrythematmybosom,likeafosterfathercarryinganinfant,tothelandyouhavepromisedunderoathtotheirfathers?
莫非是我怀孕了这百姓，或是我生了他们，你竟对我说：你要怀抱他们，如同褓母怀抱乳儿，直到进入你对他们的祖先所誓许的地方？
13WherecanIgetmeattogivetoallthispeople?Fortheyarecryingtome,｀Giveusmeatforourfood.'

若你愿这样对待我，如果我在你眼中得宠，求你杀了我罢！免得我受这苦楚。＂
16ThentheLORDsaidtoMoses,＂AssembleformeseventyoftheeldersofIsrael,menyouknowfortrueeldersandauthoritiesamongthepeople,andbringthemtothemeetingtent.Whentheyareinplacebesideyou,
上主对梅瑟说：＂你给我由以色列老年人中召选七十人，你知道他们是民间的老前辈和会办事的人，领他们进入会幕，叫他们同你一起站在那里。
17Iwillcomedownandspeakwithyouthere.Iwillalsotakesomeofthespiritthatisonyouandwillbestowitonthem,thattheymaysharetheburdenofthepeoplewithyou.Youwillthennothavetobearitbyyourself.
在那里我要降下，与你交谈，取些你身上具有的神能，赋给他们，叫他们与你分担管理人民的重担，不让你个人独自承担。
18＂Tothepeople,however,youshallsay:Sanctifyyourselvesfortomorrow,whenyoushallhavemeattoeat.ForinthehearingoftheLORDyouhavecried,'Wouldthatwehadmeatforfood!Oh,howwelloffwewereinEgypt!'ThereforetheLORDwillgiveyoumeatforfood,

不但是一天、两天、五天、十天、二十天，你们有肉吃，

而是整月，直到肉从你们的鼻子里出来，吃的生厌，因为你们轻视了住在你们中的上主，在他面前涕泣说：为什么我们出离了埃及？＂
21ButMosessaid,＂Thepeoplearoundmeincludesixhundredthousandsoldiers;yetyousay,‘Iwillgivethemmeattoeatforawholemonth.'
梅瑟说：＂与我同住的人民，步行的男子就有六十万，你却说：我要给他们肉吃，且吃一整月。
22Canenoughsheepandcattlebeslaughteredforthem?Ifallthefishoftheseawerecaughtforthem,wouldtheyhaveenough?＂
就是将牛羊都为他们杀了，为他们够用么？或将海里的鱼全给他们捉来，为他们足用么？＂
23TheLORDansweredMoses,＂IsthisbeyondtheLORD'Sreach?YoushallseenowwhetherornotwhatIhavepromisedyoutakesplace.＂
上主回答梅瑟说：＂难道上主的手短了？你就要看见我对你说的话是否应验。＂
24SoMoseswentoutandtoldthepeoplewhattheLORDhadsaid.Gatheringseventyeldersofthepeople,hehadthemstandaroundthetent.
梅瑟将上主的话告诉了人民；随后从人民的老年人中召选了七十人，令他们站在会幕四周。
253TheLORDthencamedowninthecloudandspoketohim.TakingsomeofthespiritthatwasonMoses,hebestoweditontheseventyelders;andasthespiritcametorestonthem,theyprophesied.
上主乘云降下，与梅瑟谈话；将他身上的神能，赋给那七十位长老；这神能一降在他们身上，他们就出神说话；以后再没有出神。
26Nowtwomen,onenamedEldadandtheotherMedad,werenotinthegatheringbuthadbeenleftinthecamp.Theytoohadbeenonthelist,buthadnotgoneouttothetent;yetthespiritcametorestonthemalso,andtheyprophesiedinthecamp.
当时有两个人留在营内，一个名叫厄耳达得，一个名叫默达得；这神能也降在他们身上；他们原是在被录取的人内，却没有到会幕那里去，就在营内出神说话。
27So,whenayoungmanquicklytoldMoses,＂EldadandMedadareprophesyinginthecamp,＂
有一少年跑来告诉梅瑟说：＂厄耳达得和默达得在营内出神说话。＂
28Joshua,sonofNun,whofromhisyouthhadbeenMoses'aide,said,＂Moses,mylord,stopthem.＂
自幼即服事梅瑟的农的儿子若苏厄遂说：＂我主梅瑟！你该禁止他们。＂
29ButMosesansweredhim,＂Areyoujealousformysake?WouldthatallthepeopleoftheLORDwereprophets!WouldthattheLORDmightbestowhisspiritonthemall!＂
梅瑟回答他说：＂你为我的缘故嫉妒人么？巴不得上主的人民都成先知，上主将自己的精神贯注在他们身上！＂
30ThenMosesretiredtothecamp,alongwiththeeldersofIsrael.
梅瑟遂与以色列的长老回到了营内。
314TherearoseawindsentbytheLORD,thatdroveinquailfromtheseaandbroughtthemdownoverthecampsiteataheightoftwocubitsfromthegroundforthedistanceofaday'sjourneyallaroundthecamp.
那时上主使一阵风刮起，由海上吹来了鹌鹑，散落在营幕上；鹌鹑在营幕四周多得有一天路程那么远，在地面上约有两肘厚。
325Allthatday,allnight,andallthenextdaythepeoplegatheredinthequail.Eventheonewhogottheleastgatheredtenhomersofthem.Thentheyspreadthemoutallaroundthecamp.
人民那一整日整夜，且在第二日整天都忙于捕捉鹌鹑，收集得最少的，也收集了十堆，都摆在营幕四周。
33Butwhilethemeatwasstillbetweentheirteeth,beforeitcouldbeconsumed,theLORD'Swrathflaredupagainstthepeople,andhestruckthemwithaverygreatplague.
肉还在他们的牙齿间，尚未嚼烂，上主就对人民发怒了，以极严重的灾祸打击了人民。
346SothatplacewasnamedKibroth-hattaavah,becauseitwastherethatthegreedypeoplewereburied.
故此人给那地方起名叫克贝洛特阿塔瓦，因为在那里埋葬了贪饕的人民。
35FromKibroth-hattaavahthepeoplesetoutforHazeroth.
以后民众由克贝洛特阿塔瓦起程，向哈兹洛特出发，在哈兹洛特住下了。

求你别让她像个胎死腹中的人，一出娘胎，肉身就已腐烂了一半。＂

起来反抗梅瑟。此外，还有二百五十个以色列人，他们都是会众的领袖，会议的要员，有名望的人。

他们团结起来反抗梅瑟和亚郎，对他们说：＂你们太过份了！全体会众都是圣洁的人，上主也在他们中；为什么你们却抬举自己在上主的集会以上？＂
4WhenMosesheardthis,hefellprostrate.
梅瑟一听这话，就俯伏在地。
5ThenhesaidtoKorahandtoallhisband,＂MaytheLORDmakeknowntomorrowmorningwhobelongstohimandwhoistheholyoneandwhomhewillhavedrawneartohim!Whomhechooses,hewillhavedrawnearhim.
然后对科辣黑和他同党的人说：＂明天早上，上主会使人知道，谁是他的人，谁是圣者；他使谁亲近自己：他许谁亲近自己，谁就是他所选的人。
6Dothis:takeyourcensers(Korahandallhisband)
你们应这样做：科辣黑和他同党的人啊！你们要拿着火盘，
7andputfireinthemandplaceincenseinthembeforetheLORDtomorrow.HewhomtheLORDthenchoosesistheholyone.EnoughfromyouLevites!＂
明天在盘里放上火，在上主面前，添上乳香；上主拣选谁，谁就是圣者。肋未的子孙，你们太过份了！＂
8MosesalsosaidtoKorah,＂Listentome,youLevites!
梅瑟又对科辣黑说：＂肋未的子孙，请听我说：
9IsittoolittleforyouthattheGodofIsraelhassingledyououtfromthecommunityofIsrael,tohaveyoudrawnearhimfortheserviceoftheLORD'SDwellingandtostandbeforethecommunitytoministerforthem?
以色列的天主将你们与以色列会众分开，使你们亲近他，在上主帐幕内服务，站在会众前头代他们行礼，这为你们还不够么？
10Hehasallowedyouandyourkinsmen,thedescendantsofLevi,toapproachhim,andyetyounowseekthepriesthoodtoo.
他已使你和你所有的兄弟──肋未的子孙，亲近他，你们还要贪求司祭之职么？
11ItisthereforeagainsttheLORDthatyouandallyourbandareconspiring.ForwhathasAarondonethatyoushouldgrumbleagainsthim?＂
其实你和你的同党所共谋反抗的是上主；至于亚郎，他算什么，你们竟抱怨他？＂
122MosessummonedDathanandAbiram,sonsofEliab,buttheyanswered,＂Wewillnotgo.
梅瑟派人去叫厄里雅布的儿子达堂和阿彼兰来；他们却答说：＂我们不去！
13Areyounotsatisfiedwithhavingledushereawayfromalandflowingwithmilkandhoney,tomakeusperishinthedesert,thatyoumustnowlorditoverus?
你领我们由流奶流蜜的地方上来，叫我们死在旷野，这为你还不够，你还想作王统治我们么？
143Farfrombringingustoalandflowingwithmilkandhoney,orgivingusfieldsandvineyardsforourinheritance,willyoualsogougeoutoureyes?No,wewillnotgo.＂
你并没有领我们到了流奶流蜜的地方，也没有给我们田地和葡萄园当产业啊！你想剜出这些人的眼睛么？我们不去！＂
15ThenMosesbecameveryangryandsaidtotheLORD,＂Paynoheedtotheiroffering.Ihavenevertakenasingleassfromthem,norhaveIwrongedanyoneofthem.＂
梅瑟遂大怒，对上主说：＂你不要垂顾他们的祭献；我没有夺过他们一匹驴，也没有损害过他们任何人。＂
16MosessaidtoKorah,＂YouandallyourbandshallappearbeforetheLORDtomorrow-youandtheyandAarontoo.
梅瑟对科辣黑说：＂你和你一切同党，明日要来到上主面前，就是你和他们，还有亚郎。
17Theneachofyourtwohundredandfiftyfollowersshalltakehisowncenser,putincenseinit,andofferittotheLORD;andyouandAaron,eachwithhisowncenser,shalldothesame.＂
你们各人要拿着自己的火盘，上面放上乳香；各人拿着自己的火盘到上主面前去，共二百五十个火盘；你和亚郎也各自拿着火盘。＂
18Sotheyalltooktheircensers,andlayingincenseonthefiretheyhadputinthem,theytooktheirstandbytheentranceofthemeetingtentalongwithMosesandAaron.
他们每人于是都拿了火盘，上面放上火，添上乳香，同梅瑟和亚郎来到会幕门口。
19Then,whenKorahhadassembledallhisbandagainstthemattheentranceofthemeetingtent,thegloryoftheLORDappearedtotheentirecommunity,
科辣黑召集了全会众到会幕门口，来反抗梅瑟和亚郎。此时，上主的荣耀就显现给全会众。

上主对梅瑟和亚郎说：
21＂Standapartfromthisband,thatImayconsumethematonce.＂
＂你们快离开这会众，我立刻要消灭他们。＂
22Buttheyfellprostrateandcriedout,＂OGod,Godofthespiritsofallmankind,willoneman'ssinmakeyouangrywiththewholecommunity?＂
梅瑟和亚郎就俯伏在地说：＂天主，赐给一切血肉生气的天主！一人犯罪，你就向全体的会众发怒么？＂
23TheLORDansweredMoses,
上主回答梅瑟说：＂
24＂Speaktothecommunityandtellthem:WithdrawfromthespacearoundtheDwelling＂(ofKorah,DathanandAbiram).
你训示会众说：你们离开科辣黑、达堂、和阿彼兰帐幕的四周。＂
254Moses,followedbytheeldersofIsrael,aroseandwenttoDathanandAbiram.
梅瑟就起来往达堂和阿彼兰那里去，以色列的长老也都随着他去了。
26Thenhewarnedthecommunity,＂Keepawayfromthetentsofthesewickedmenanddonottouchanythingthatistheirs:otherwiseyoutoowillbesweptawaybecauseofalltheirsins.＂
他遂向会众说：＂你们要远离这些恶人的帐幕！凡是他们的东西你们不要动，免得你们为了他们的一切罪恶而遭灭绝。＂
27WhenDathanandAbiramhadcomeoutandwerestandingattheentrancesoftheirtentswiththeirwivesandsonsandlittleones,
他们遂离开了科辣黑、达堂和阿彼兰帐幕的四周；达堂和阿彼兰同他们的妻子儿女和婴孩出来，站在自己的帐幕门口。
28Mosessaid,＂ThisishowyoushallknowthatitwastheLORDwhosentmetodoallIhavedone,andthatitwasnotIwhoplannedit:
梅瑟遂说：＂因这件事，你们会知道，是上主派遣了我来做这一切，并不是出于我的本意：
29ifthesemendieanordinarydeath,merelysufferingthefatecommontoallmankind,thenitwasnottheLORDwhosentme.
如果这些人如其它的人一样死去，或者他们的遭遇如其它的人所遭遇的一样，上主就没有派遣了我；
30ButiftheLORDdoessomethingentirelynew,andthegroundopensitsmouthandswallowsthemalivedownintothenetherworld,withallbelongingtothem,thenyouwillknowthatthesemenhavedefiedtheLORD.＂
但是，如果上主作了从未听见过的事，令地裂开口，将他们和他们的一切都吞下去，使他们活活的下到阴府，你们就知道这些人拋弃了上主。＂
31Nosoonerhadhefinishedsayingallthisthanthegroundbeneaththemsplitopen,
他一说完这些话，他们脚踏的地就裂开了；
32andtheearthopeneditsmouthandswallowedthemandtheirfamilies(andallofKorah'smen)andalltheirpossessions.
地开了口，将他们和他们的家属，以及凡属科辣黑的人和所有的财物，都吞了下去。
33Theywentdownalivetothenetherworldwithallbelongingtothem;theearthclosedoverthem,andtheyperishedfromthecommunity.
他们和他们的一切，都活活的下了阴府；地在他们上面闭上口，他们遂由会众中消灭了。
34ButalltheIsraelitesnearthemfledattheirshrieks,saying,＂Theearthmightswallowustoo!＂
他们四周所有的以色列人，一听见他们尖叫声，就都逃跑说：＂怕地也吞没了我们！＂

那时由上主那里发出了烈火，吞噬了那二百五十个奉香的人。

以这些犯罪丧生者的火盘，打成薄片，用来包盖祭坛，──因为奉献在上主面前的火盘已成了圣的，──给以色列子民当作鉴戒。＂

为给以色列子民当作鉴戒，为叫凡不是出于亚郎子孙的俗人，不应前来在上主面前献香，以免和科辣黑及他的同党遭受一样的不幸。他全照上主藉梅瑟对他所吩咐的做了。
6ThenextdaythewholeIsraelitecommunitygrumbledagainstMosesandAaron,saying,＂ItisyouwhohaveslaintheLORD'Speople.＂
次日，以色列子民全会众抱怨梅瑟和亚郎说：＂正是你们害死了上主的人民＂。
7Butwhilethecommunitywasdeliberatingagainstthem,MosesandAaronturnedtowardthemeetingtent,andthecloudnowcovereditandthegloryoftheLORDappeared.
当会众集合反对梅瑟和亚郎时，他们二人转向会幕；看，云彩遮盖了会幕，上主的荣耀发显了出来。

梅瑟和亚郎遂走到会幕面前，
9andtheLORDsaidtoMosesandAaron,
上主吩咐梅瑟说：

11ThenMosessaidtoAaron,＂Takeyourcenser,putfirefromthealtarinit,layincenseonit,andbringitquicklytothecommunitytomakeatonementforthem;forwrathhascomeforthfromtheLORDandtheblowisfalling.＂
然后梅瑟向亚郎说：＂你快拿火盘，由祭坛取火放在盘里，添上乳香，快拿到会众那里去，为他们行赎罪礼，因为愤怒已由上主面前发出，灾祸已经开始。＂
12ObeyingtheordersofMoses,Aarontookhiscenserandraninamongthecommunity,wheretheblowwasalreadyfallingonthepeople.Then,asheofferedtheincenseandmadeatonementforthepeople,
亚郎遂照梅瑟所吩咐的拿了火盘，急忙跑到会众中；看，灾祸已在人民中开始；他遂添上乳香，为人民行赎罪礼，

站在死者和生者之中，直到灾祸止息。

在这次灾祸中死了一万四千七百，为科辣黑的缘故而死的人，还不在内。

亚郎于是回到会幕门口梅瑟那里，因为灾祸已止息了。
16TheLORDnowsaidtoMoses,
上主训示梅瑟说：
172＂SpeaktotheIsraelitesandgetonestafffromthemforeachancestralhouse,twelvestaffsinall,onefromeachoftheirtribalprinces.Markeachman'snameonhisstaff;
＂你吩咐以色列子民，叫他们每一家族拿一根棍杖，就是每一个领袖为自己家族拿一根，共十二根棍杖，把各人的名字写在自己的棍杖上；
183andmarkAaron'snameonLevi'sstaff,fortheheadofLevi'sancestralhouseshallalsohaveastaff.
但在肋未的棍杖上，要写亚郎的名字，因为为肋未的族长亦应有一根棍杖。
19Thenlaythemdowninthemeetingtent,infrontofthecommandments,whereImeetyou.
你将这些棍放在会幕内，放在约证前，即在我与你常相会的地方。
20Therethestaffofthemanofmychoiceshallsprout.ThuswillIsuppressfrommypresencetheIsraelites'grumblingagainstyou.＂
谁的棍杖开花，谁就是我所选择的人；这样，我就平息了以色列子民在我面前抱怨你们的怨言。＂
21SoMosesspoketotheIsraelites,andtheirprincesgavehimstaffs,twelveinall,onefromeachtribalprince;andAaron'sstaffwaswiththem.
梅瑟于是告诉了以色列子民；他们所有的领袖都交给了他一根棍杖，每一家族中，每个领袖一根，共十二根棍杖；在他们的棍杖中，也有亚郎的棍杖。
22ThenMoseslaidthestaffsdownbeforetheLORDinthetentofthecommandments.

次日，梅瑟进入约幕内，看，肋未家族的亚郎的棍杖发了芽；不但发了芽，而且开了花，结了成熟的杏。
24MosesthereuponbroughtoutallthestaffsfromtheLORD'SpresencetotheIsraelites.Aftereachprinceidentifiedhisownstaffandtookit,
梅瑟就由上主面前取出所有的棍杖，给以色列子民观看；以后各人取回了自己的棍杖。
25theLORDsaidtoMoses,＂PutbackAaron'sstaffinfrontofthecommandments,tobekeptthereasawarningtotherebellious,sothattheirgrumblingmayceasebeforeme;ifitdoesnot,theywilldie.＂
上主对梅瑟说：＂收回亚郎的棍杖来，放在约证前；留给叛逆之徒当作鉴戒，为平息他们对我发的怨言，免得他们死亡。＂
26AndMosesdidastheLORDhadcommandedhim.

＂这是上主制定的法律，衪这样命令说：你吩咐以色列子民，给你牵一头无瑕，身上没有残缺，且没有负过轭的红母牛来。
31ThisistobegiventoEleazarthepriest,tobeledoutsidethecampandslaughteredinhispresence.

厄肋阿匝尔司祭用手指蘸些牛血，七次向会幕的前面洒血。

那焚烧牛的人，也应洗自己的衣服，用水洗身，但直到晚上仍然不洁。

另一位洁净的人收起牛灰，放在营外洁净的地方，为以色列子民会众留下作取洁水之用，因为这原是赎罪祭。

那收敛牛灰的人，应洗自己的衣服，且直到晚上不洁；这为以色列子民和侨居在你们中的外方人，是一条永久的法律。
11＂Whoevertouchesthedeadbodyofanyhumanbeingshallbeuncleanforsevendays;
凡摸了任何人尸体的，七天之久不洁。

任何人摸了尸首，即死人的身体，而不取洁，便玷污了上主的居所，这人应由以色列中铲除，因为取洁水没有洒在他身上，他仍然不洁，不洁仍留在他身上。
14＂Thisisthelaw:Whenamandiesinatent,everyonewhoentersthetent,aswellaseveryonealreadyinit,shallbeuncleanforsevendays;
几时在帐幕内死了一人，有这样的规定：凡进这帐幕，和所有在帐幕的人，七天之久不洁；
15likewise,everyvesselthatisopen,orwithitslidunfastened,shallbeunclean.
一切开着口，没有盖上盖的器皿，都成了不洁的。

然后一洁净的人拿牛膝草浸入水内，洒在帐幕上和其内的一切器皿并人身上，以及洒在那摸过骨骸或被害死的，或自死的，或坟墓的人身上。
19Thecleanmanshallsprinkletheuncleanonthethirdandontheseventhday;thuspurifiedontheseventhday,heshallwashhisgarmentsandbathehisbodyinwater,andintheeveninghewillbecleanagain.
那洁净的人应在第三日第七日上，洒那不洁净的人，到第七日才能使他洁净；那人还应洗自己的衣服，在水中沐浴，到晚上就洁净了。
204Anyuncleanmanwhofailstohavehimselfpurifiedshallbecutofffromthecommunity,becausehedefilesthesanctuaryoftheLORD.Aslongasthelustralwaterhasnotbeensplashedoverhim,heremainsunclean.

以色列子民全会众于正月来到了亲旷野，人民就在卡德士住下了。米黎盎在那里死了，也就埋葬在那里。
2Asthecommunityhadnowater,theyheldacouncilagainstMosesandAaron.
会众没有人水喝，就聚在一起反抗梅瑟和亚郎。
3ThepeoplecontendedwithMoses,exclaiming,＂WouldthatwetoohadperishedwithourkinsmenintheLORD'Spresence!
民众同梅瑟争辩说：＂巴不得我们的兄弟在上主面前死去时，我们也死了！
4WhyhaveyoubroughttheLORD'Scommunityintothisdesertwhereweandourlivestockaredying?
为什么你们领上主的会众来到这旷野里，叫我们和我们的牲畜都死在这里？
5WhydidyouleadusoutofEgypt,onlytobringustothiswretchedplacewhichhasneithergrainnorfigsnorvinesnorpomegranates?Herethereisnotevenwatertodrink!＂
为什么你们使我们由埃及上来，领我们来到这样坏的地方？这地方不但没有粮食，没有无花果，没有葡萄，没有石榴，而且连喝的水也没有！＂
6ButMosesandAaronwentawayfromtheassemblytotheentranceofthemeetingtent,wheretheyfellprostrate.ThenthegloryoftheLORDappearedtothem,
梅瑟和亚郎遂离开会众，来到会幕门口，俯伏在地；上主的荣耀遂发显给他们。

上主吩咐梅瑟说：
8＂Takethestaffandassemblethecommunity,youandyourbrotherAaron,andintheirpresenceordertherocktoyielditswaters.Fromtherockyoushallbringforthwaterforthecommunityandtheirlivestocktodrink.＂
＂你拿上棍杖，然后你和你的兄弟亚郎召集会众，当着他们眼前对这盘石发命，叫盘石流水。这样你便可使水由盘石中给他们流出，给会众和他们的牲畜喝＂。
9SoMosestookthestafffromitsplacebeforetheLORD,ashewasordered.
梅瑟就照上主吩咐他的，由上主面前拿了棍杖。
10HeandAaronassembledthecommunityinfrontoftherock,wherehesaidtothem,＂Listentome,yourebels!Arewetobringwaterforyououtofthisrock?＂
梅瑟和亚郎召集会众来到盘石前，对他们说：＂你们这些叛徒，听着！我们岂能从这盘石中给你们引出水来？＂
112Then,raisinghishand,Mosesstrucktherocktwicewithhisstaff,andwatergushedoutinabundanceforthecommunityandtheirlivestocktodrink.
梅瑟遂举起手来，用棍杖打了盘石两次，才有大量的水涌出，会众和他们的牲畜都喝够了。
123ButtheLORDsaidtoMosesandAaron,＂BecauseyouwerenotfaithfultomeinshowingforthmysanctitybeforetheIsraelites,youshallnotleadthiscommunityintothelandIwillgivethem.＂
上主却对梅瑟和亚郎说：＂因为你们没有相信我，使我在以色列子民眼前被尊为圣，所以你们不得领这会众进入我赐给他们的土地。＂
13ThesearethewatersofMeribah,wheretheIsraelitescontendedagainsttheLORD,andwhereherevealedhissanctityamongthem.
这就是默黎巴水的来历，因为以色列子民在那里与上主争辩过，上主因而显示了自己的圣德。
144FromKadeshMosessentmentothekingofEdomwiththemessage:＂YourbrotherIsraelhasthistosay:Youknowofallthehardshipsthathavebefallenus,
梅瑟由卡德士派遗使者去见厄东王说：＂你的兄弟以色列这样说：你知道我们所遭遇的一切困难。

我们的祖先下到了埃及。我们在埃及住了很久，埃及人虐待了我们和我们的祖先。
16andhow,whenwecriedtotheLORD,heheardourcryandsentanangelwholedusoutofEgypt.NowhereweareatthetownofKadeshattheedgeofyourterritory.
我们曾向上主呼号，他俯听了我们的呼声，派来了一位使者，领我们出离了埃及。看，我们现在就在你边境上的卡德士城，
175Kindlyletuspassthroughyourcountry.Wewillnotcrossanyfieldsorvineyards,nordrinkanywellwater,butwewillgostraightalongtheroyalroadwithoutturningtotherightortotheleft,untilwehavepassedthroughyourterritory.＂
求你让我们由你的境内经过；我们决不会踏过庄田或葡萄园，也不喝井里的水，只走王道，不偏右，也不偏左；直至走过你的国境。＂
18ButEdomansweredhim,＂Youshallnotpassthroughhere;ifyoudo,Iwilladvanceagainstyouwiththesword.＂
厄东却答复说：＂不准你由我这里经过，不然，我要以刀相迎。＂
19TheIsraelitesinsisted,＂Wewantonlytogoupalongthehighway.Ifweorourlivestockdrinkanyofyourwater,wewillpayforit.Surelythereisnoharminmerelylettingusmarchthrough.＂
以色列子民再对他说：＂我们只沿大路走，我们和我们的牲畜若喝了你的水，我们愿付钱；只求步行经过这点小事＂。
20ButEdomstillsaid,＂No,youshallnotpassthrough,＂andadvancedagainstthemwithalargeandheavilyarmedforce.
他仍然说：＂不准你经过。＂厄东即领大队人马和武装部队出迎。
21Therefore,sinceEdomrefusedtoletthempassthroughtheirterritory,Israeldetouredaroundthem.
厄东既然不让以色列由他境内经过，以色列就从那里折回。
226SettingoutfromKadesh,thewholeIsraelitecommunitycametoMountHor.
以色列子民全会众由卡德士起程，来到了曷尔山。
23ThereatMountHor,ontheborderofthelandofEdom,theLORDsaidtoMosesandAaron,
在厄东国界的了曷尔山上，上主对梅瑟和亚郎说：
24＂Aaronisabouttobetakentohispeople;heshallnotenterthelandIamgivingtotheIsraelites,becauseyoubothrebelledagainstmycommandmentatthewatersofMeribah.
＂亚郎要归到他祖先那里去，他不能进入我赐给以色列子民的地方，因为你们在默黎巴取水的事上，违背了我的训令。
25TakeAaronandhissonEleazarandbringthemuponMountHor.
你带亚郎和他的儿子厄肋阿匝尔，一同上曷尔山上去，
26ThenstripAaronofhisgarmentsandputthemonhissonEleazar;forthereAaronshallbetakenindeath.＂
将亚郎的长袍脱下，给他的儿子厄肋阿匝尔穿上，因为亚郎要被召归去，死在那里。＂
27MosesdidastheLORDcommanded.WhentheyhadclimbedMountHorinviewofthewholecommunity,
梅瑟就照上主吩咐的做了。当着全会众的面，他们上了曷尔山。

梅瑟把亚郎的长袍脱下，给他的儿子厄肋阿匝尔穿上，亚郎就在山顶死了。以后梅瑟和厄肋阿匝尔由山上下来。

息红却不让以色列人经过他的国境；且调集自己所有的人民，往旷野里去对抗以色列人；一来到雅哈兹，就与以色列人交战。
24ButIsraeldefeatedhimatthepointofthesword,andtookpossessionofhislandfromtheArnontotheJabbokandasfarasthecountryoftheAmmonites,whoseboundarywasatJazer.
以色列人用刀剑将他击败，占领了他的国境，自阿尔农河直到雅波克河，直到阿孟子民那里，因为雅则尔是阿孟子民的边界。

26NowHeshbonwasthecapitalofSihon,kingoftheAmorites,whohadfoughtagainsttheformerkingofMoabandhadseizedallhislandfromJazertotheArnon.
赫市朋原是阿摩黎人王息红的都城。息红与前任摩阿布王交战，占领了他所有的土地，直到阿尔农河。
27Thatiswhythepoetssay:＂CometoHeshbon,letitberebuilt,letSihon'scapitalbefirmlyconstructed.

以后前进，上了往巴商的路。巴商王敖格同他全国的人民，就出来对抗他们，在厄德勒与他们交战。
34TheLORD,however,saidtoMoses,＂Donotbeafraidofhim;forintoyourhandIwilldeliverhimwithallhispeopleandhisland.DotohimasyoudidtoSihon,kingoftheAmorites,wholivedinHeshbon.＂
上主对梅瑟说：＂不必怕他，因为我已将他，他的人民和国土，都交在你手里了；你要待他，如同对待住在赫市朋的阿摩黎人的君王一样。＂

＂你应在米德杨人身上为以色列子民报仇，以后你就要归到你亲族那里去。＂
3SoMosestoldthepeople,＂Selectmenfromyourmidstandarmthemforwar,toattacktheMidianitesandexecutetheLORD'Svengeanceonthem.
梅瑟于是吩咐人民说：＂你们要选拔壮丁，武装起来，准备作战，进攻米德杨，在他们身上为上主雪仇。
4FromeachofthetribesofIsraelyoushallsendabandofonethousandmentowar.＂
以色列每支派应派遣一千人出征作战。＂
5FromtheclansofIsrael,therefore,athousandmenofeachtribewerelevied,sothatthereweretwelvethousandmenarmedforwar.
这样，每支派出一千人，以色列的部队共有一万二千武装出征的人。
6Mosessentthemoutonthecampaign,athousandfromeachtribe,withPhinehas,sonofEleazar,thepriestforthecampaign,whohadwithhimthesacredvesselsandthetrumpetsforsoundingthealarm.
梅瑟就派遣他们──每支派一千人，出征作战，并派遣大司祭厄肋阿匝尔的儿子丕乃哈斯与他们同去，手内带着圣器和发号令的喇叭，
7TheywagedwaragainsttheMidianites,astheLORDhadcommandedMoses,andkilledeverymaleamongthem.
他们遂照上主对梅瑟所吩咐的，攻击了米德杨，杀了所有的男子。
82Besidesthoseslaininbattle,theykilledthefiveMidianitekings:Evi,Rekem,Zur,HurandReba;andtheyalsoexecutedBalaam,sonofBeor,withthesword.
除这些被杀的以外，还杀了米德杨五个王子：厄威、勒耿、族尔、胡尔和勒巴；也用刀杀了贝敖尔的儿子巴郎。
9ButtheIsraeliteskeptthewomenoftheMidianiteswiththeirlittleonesascaptives,andalltheirherdsandflocksandwealthasspoil,
以色列子民俘虏了米德杨人的妇女和幼童，掠夺了他们所有的牲畜、羊群和财产；

把俘虏和所抢所夺之物，带到梅瑟和大司祭厄肋阿匝尔以及以色列子民全会众那里，即带到耶里哥的对面，约但河边，摩阿布旷野中的营盘那里。
13WhenMosesandthepriestEleazar,withalltheprincesofthecommunity,wentoutsidethecamptomeetthem,
梅瑟和大司祭厄勒阿匝尔以及会众各首领，都到营外欢迎他们。
14Mosesbecameangrywiththeofficersofthearmy,theclanandcompanycommanders,whowerereturningfromcombat.
梅瑟对作战回来的军官、千夫长和百夫长大发忿怒，
15＂Soyouhavesparedallthewomen!＂heexclaimed.
向他们说：＂你们为什么还让这一切妇女活着？
16＂Why,theyaretheveryoneswhoonBalaam'sadvicepromptedtheunfaithfulnessoftheIsraelitestowardtheLORDinthePeoraffair,whichbegantheslaughteroftheLORD'Scommunity.
看正是她们听了巴郎的话诱惑了以色列子民，在培敖尔事件上违背了上主，致使灾祸降在上主的会众身上。
173Slay,therefore,everymalechildandeverywomanwhohashadintercoursewithaman.
如今应将所有的男童杀死，将所有认识过男人，与男人同过房的女人，都一律杀掉。

＂你和厄肋阿匝尔司祭以及会众的家长，应统计一下掠夺的胜利品，无论是人或牲畜，

11NowtheReubenitesandGaditeshadaverylargenumberoflivestock.NoticingthatthelandofJazerandofGileadwasgrazingcountry,
勒乌本的子孙和加得的子孙，拥有很多的家畜；他们一见雅则尔地方和基肋阿得地方，是适于畜牧的区域，
2theycametoMosesandthepriestEleazarandtotheprincesofthecommunityandsaid,
便前来对梅瑟和厄肋阿匝尔大司祭及会众的首领说：＂
32＂TheregionofAtaroth,Dibon,Jazer,Nimrah,Heshbon,Elealeh,Sebam,NeboandBaal-meon,
阿塔洛特、狄朋、雅则尔、尼默辣、赫市朋、厄肋阿肋、色班、乃波和贝红，
4whichtheLORDhaslaidlowbeforethecommunityofIsrael,isgrazingcountry.Now,sinceyourservantshavelivestock,＂
这些地方是上主为以色列会众所征服的，是适于畜牧的地方，而你的仆人们正有牛羊。＂
5theycontinued,＂ifwefindfavorwithyou,letthislandbegiventoyourservantsastheirproperty.DonotmakeuscrosstheJordan.＂
他们又说：＂若是我们在你眼中获得宠幸，希望你将这地方赐给你的仆人们作产业，不必叫我们过约但河。＂
6ButMosesansweredtheGaditesandReubenites:＂Areyourkinsmen,then,toengageinwar,whileyouremainhere?
梅瑟回答加得的子孙和勒乌本的子孙说：＂怎么！你们的兄弟去打仗，你们却要住在这里？
7WhydoyouwishtodiscouragetheIsraelitesfromcrossingtothelandtheLORDhasgiventhem?
为什么你们要叫以色列子民丧气，使他们不敢进入上主赐给他们的土地？
8ThatisjustwhatyourfathersdidwhenIsentthemfromKadesh-barneatoreconnoitertheland.
当我由卡德士巴尔乃亚派遣你们的祖先去窥探这地时，他们也这样做过。
9TheywentuptotheWadiEshcolandreconnoiteredtheland,thensodiscouragedtheIsraelitesthattheywouldnotenterthelandtheLORDhadgiventhem.
他们上到厄市苛耳山谷，窥探了那地方，回来就使以色列子民丧了气，致使他们再不愿进入上主赐给他们的土地。
10AtthattimethewrathoftheLORDflaredup,andheswore,
为此上主在那天发怒起誓说：‘
11‘Becausetheyhavenotfollowedmeunreservedly,noneofthesemenoftwentyyearsormorewhohavecomeupfromEgyptshalleverseethiscountryIpromisedunderoathtoAbrahamandIsaacandJacob,
凡由埃及出来过了二十岁的人，不得看见我誓许给亚巴郎、依撒格和雅各伯的土地，因为他们没有一心一意地随从我；
123excepttheKenizziteCaleb,sonofJephunneh,andJoshua,sonofNun,whohavefollowedtheLORDunreservedly.'
只有刻纳次人耶孚乃的儿子加肋布和农的儿子若苏厄除外，因为他们一心一意地随从了上主。’
13SoinhisangerwiththeIsraelitestheLORDmadethemwanderinthedesertfortyyears,untilthewholegenerationthathaddoneevilinthesightoftheLORDhaddiedout.
因为上主对以色列发了怒，遂使他们在旷野中漂泊了四十年，直到在上主眼前作恶的那一世代完全死尽
14Andnowhereyouare,abroodofsinners,risingupinyourfathers'placetoaddstillmoretotheLORD'SblazingwrathagainsttheIsraelites.
现在，看，你们这些罪人的苗裔，竟起来替代你们先人，再增加上主对以色列的忿怒！
15Ifyouturnawayfromfollowinghim,hewillmakethemstaystilllongerinthedesert,andsoyouwillbringabouttheruinofthiswholenation.＂
如果你们背离了他，他再把民众拋在旷野里；这样，你们就要使这整个民族毁灭了。＂
16Buttheywereinsistentwithhim:＂Wewishonlytobuildsheepfoldshereforourflocks,andtownsforourfamilies;
他们遂上前来，对他说：＂我们愿在这里为我们的牛羊筑圈，为我们的家眷建城。
17butweourselveswillmarchastroopsinthevanoftheIsraelites,untilwehaveledthemtotheirdestination.Meanwhileourfamiliescanremainhereinthefortifiedtowns,safefromattackbythenatives.
但我们必武装起来，在以色列子民前头上阵，直到我们领他们进入了自己的地方；至于我们的家眷，为预防本地的居民，应叫他们安居在坚固的城内。
18WewillnotreturntoourhomesuntileveryoneoftheIsraeliteshastakenpossessionofhisheritage,
不到以色列子民各个都占有了产业，我们决不回家。
19andwillnotclaimanyheritagewiththemoncewecrosstheJordan,solongaswereceiveaheritageforourselvesonthiseasternsideoftheJordan.＂
我们既然在约但河东得到了产业，在约但河西，就不再同他们分产业了。＂
204Mosessaidtotheminreply:＂IfyoukeepyourwordtomarchastroopsintheLORD'Svanguard
梅瑟答复他们说：＂若是你们这样做，若是你们武装起来，在上主面前作战；
21andtocrosstheJordaninfullforcebeforetheLORDuntilhehasdrivenhisenemiesoutofhisway
若是你们个个都武装着在上主面前过约但河，直到他将自己的敌人驱散，
22andthelandissubduedbeforehim,thenyoumayreturnhere,quitofeveryobligationtotheLORDandtoIsrael,andthisregionshallbeyourpossessionbeforetheLORD.
直到上主把那地征服以后，你们才回家，你们对上主，对以色列就算无罪。那么，这地照上主的允许，归你们作为产业。
23Butifyoudonotdothis,youwillsinagainsttheLORD,andyoucanbesurethatyouwillnotescapetheconsequencesofyoursin.
但是，如果你们不这样去做，你们必获罪于上主，要知道你们必自招罪罚。
24Buildthetowns,then,foryourfamilies,andthefoldsforyourflocks,butalsofulfillyourexpresspromise.＂
你们可为家眷建城，为牛羊筑圈；但是你们口头所许的，却必要实践。＂
25TheGaditesandReubenitesansweredMoses,＂Yourservantswilldoasyoucommand,mylord.
加得的子孙和勒乌本的子孙回答梅瑟说：＂你仆人们必照我主所吩咐的去做。
26Whileourwivesandchildren,ourherdsandotherlivestockremaininthetownsofGilead,
我们的孩童、妇女、牛羊和一切牲畜，都留在这里，留在基肋阿得的城里；
27allyourservantswillgoacrossasarmedtroopstobattlebeforetheLORD,justasyourlordshipsays.＂
至于你的仆人们，凡武装起来的，都要过河，在上主面前上阵作战，如我主所吩咐的。＂
28Moses,therefore,gavethisorderintheirregardtothepriestEleazar,toJoshua,sonofNun,andtotheheadsoftheancestraltribesoftheIsraelites:
梅瑟遂为他们向大司祭厄肋阿匝尔、农的儿子若苏厄，以及以色列子民各支派的家长下了指示，
29＂IfalltheGaditesandReubenitescrosstheJordanwithyouascombattroopsbeforetheLORD,youshallgivethemGileadastheirpropertywhenthelandhasbeensubduedbeforeyou.
向他们说：＂若是加得子孙和勒乌本子孙，都武装起来与你们同过约但河，在上主面前作战，在你们征服那地以后，就把基肋阿得地方给他们作为产业。
30ButiftheywillnotgoacrosswithyouascombattroopsbeforetheLORD,youshallbringtheirwivesandchildrenandlivestockacrossbeforeyouintoCanaan,andtheyshallhavetheirpropertywithyouinthelandofCanaan.＂
但是，如果他们不武装起来同你们一起过河，就应在客纳罕地与你们同分产业。＂
31TothistheGaditesandReubenitesreplied,＂WewilldowhattheLORDhascommandedus,yourservants.
加得子孙和勒乌本子孙回答说：＂凡上主关于你仆人所说的，我们必照做。
32WeourselveswillgoacrossintothelandofCanaanastroopsbeforetheLORD,butwewillretainourhereditarypropertyonthissideoftheJordan.＂
我们必武装起来在上主面前过河，往客纳罕地去；但约但河东的地方应给我们作产业。＂
335SoMosesgavethem(theGaditesandReubenites,aswellashalfthetribeofManasseh,sonofJoseph,thekingdomofSihon,kingoftheAmorites,andthekingdomofOg,kingofBashan,)thelandwithitstownsandthedistrictsthatsurroundedthem.
梅瑟遂将阿摩黎人王息红的国土和巴商王敖格的国土，那地域及其境内的城池，以及那地域四周的城池，都给了他们；给了加得的子孙、勒乌本的子孙和若瑟的儿子默纳协半支派。

默纳协的儿子玛基尔的子孙去了基肋阿得，占据了那地方，驱逐了那里的阿摩黎人。
40(MosesgaveGileadtoMachir,sonofManasseh,andhesettledthere.)

1TheLORDgavetheseinstructionstoMosesontheplainsofMoabbesidetheJerichostretchoftheJordan:
上主在耶里哥对面，约但河边，摩阿布旷野内，训示梅瑟说：
2＂TelltheIsraelitesthatoutoftheirhereditarypropertytheyshallgivetheLevitescitiesforhomes,aswellaspasturelandsaroundthecities.
＂你命令以色列子民，应由他们分得的产业内，指定一些城给肋未人居住，将城四周的牧场，也分给肋未人。
3Thecitiesshallservethemtodwellin,andthepasturelandsshallservetheirherdsandflocksandotheranimals.
这些城归他们居住，城郊的牧场为牧放他们所有的牛羊和一切牲畜。
4ThepasturelandsofthecitiestobeassignedtheLevitesshallextendathousandcubitsfromthecitywallsineachdirection.
你们划给肋未城郊的牧场，应由城墙起，周围向外伸展至二千肘，
5Thusyoushallmeasureouttwothousandcubitsoutsidethecityalongeachside-east,south,westandnorth-withthecitylyinginthecenter.Thisshallservethemasthepasturelandsoftheircities.
即由城外向东方量二千肘，向南方量二千肘，向西方量二千肘，向北方量二千肘，城在中央；这些土地为作他们城郊的牧场
6＂NowthesearethecitiesyoushallgivetotheLevites:thesixcitiesofasylumwhichyoumustestablishasplaceswhereahomicidecantakerefuge,andinadditionforty-twoothercities—
分给肋未人的城中，应指定六座为避难城，杀人者可逃入城中。此外还应给他们四十二座城。
7atotalofforty-eightcitieswiththeirpasturelandstobeassignedtheLevites.
这样，划给肋未人的城，共计四十八座，连城郊的牧场在内。
81InassigningthecitiesfromthepropertyoftheIsraelites,takemorefromalargergroupandfewerfromasmallerone,sothateachgroupwillcedecitiestotheLevitesinproportiontoitsownheritage.＂
当你们由以色列子民的产业中，划分给肋未人城邑时，由大支派应多取，由小支派应少取；每支派应依照自己分得的产业，将城邑划给肋未人。＂
9TheLORDsaidtoMoses,
上主训示梅瑟说：
10＂TelltheIsraelites:WhenyougoacrosstheJordanintothelandofCanaan,
＂你告诉以色列子民说：几时你们过约但河进入了客纳罕地，
11selectforyourselvescitiestoserveascitiesofasylum,whereahomicidewhohaskilledsomeoneunintentionallymaytakerefuge.
应选定几座城作你们的避难城，凡误杀人的，可逃到那里。
122Thesecitiesshallserveyouasplacesofasylumfromtheavengerofblood,sothatahomicideshallnotbeputtodeathunlessheisfirsttriedbeforethecommunity.
这些城可作为你们脱免复仇者的避难所，好使杀人者不致在未立于会众前受审判以前，便遭人杀害。
13Sixcitiesofasylumshallyouassign:
你们应指定六座城作为你们的避难城。
14threebeyondtheJordan,andthreeinthelandofCanaan.
在约但河东指定三座，在客纳罕地指定三座，作为避难城。
15ThesesixcitiesofasylumshallservenotonlytheIsraelitesbutalltheresidentortransientaliensamongthem,sothatanyonewhohaskilledanotherunintentionallymaytakerefugethere.
这六座城为以色列子民和外方人，以及住在你们中间的人，作为避难所；凡误杀人的，都可逃到那里去。
163＂Ifamanstrikesanotherwithanironinstrumentandcauseshisdeath,heisamurdererandshallbeputtodeath.
人若用铁器打人，将人打死，他就是凶手，凶手应处死刑。
17Ifamanstrikesanotherwithadeath-dealingstoneinhishandandcauseshisdeath,heisamurdererandshallbeputtodeath.
人若用手中可砸死人的石头打人，将人砸死；他就是凶手，凶手应处死刑。
18Ifamanstrikesanotherwithadeath-dealingclubinhishandandcauseshisdeath,heisamurdererandshallbeputtodeath.
或者人若用手中可打死人的木器打人，将人打死，他就是凶手，凶手应处死刑。
19Theavengerofbloodmayexecutethemurderer,puttinghimtodeathonsight.
报血仇的，可将凶手杀死；几时遇见他，可将他杀死。
20＂Ifamanpushesanotheroutofhatred,orafterlyinginwaitforhimthrowssomethingathim,andcauseshisdeath,
人若因怀恨撞倒了人，或故意拋物打人，致使那人死了；
21orifhestrikesanotheroutofenmityandcauseshisdeath,heshallbeputtodeathasamurderer.Theavengerofbloodmayexecutethemurdereronsight.
或者因仇恨用手打人，将人打死；打人的应处死刑，因他是凶手；报血仇的人，几时遇着凶手，可将他杀死。
22＂However,ifamanpushesanotheraccidentallyandnotoutofenmity,orifwithoutlyinginwaitforhimhethrowssomeobjectathim,
但是，若人并无怨仇，偶然撞倒人，或无意中拋物伤人，
23orwithoutseeinghimthrowsadeath-dealingstonewhichstrikeshimandcauseshisdeath,althoughhewasnothisenemynorseekingtoharmhim:
或因没有看见，使任何能打死人的石头落在人身上，致使那人死了，彼此并没有怨仇，也没有意思害人，
24thenthecommunity,decidingthecasebetweentheslayerandtheavengerofbloodinaccordancewiththesenorms,
对这样的案件，应在打死人的和要报血仇者之间进行裁判。
25shallfreethehomicidefromtheavengerofbloodandshallremandhimtothecityofasylumwherehetookrefuge;andheshallstaythereuntilthedeathofthehighpriestwhohasbeenanointedwithsacredoil.
会众要把杀人者由报血仇者手内救出，使他回到他曾逃入的避难城内，叫他住在那里，直到傅过圣油的大司祭去逝。
26Ifthehomicideofhisownaccordleavestheboundsofthecityofasylumwherehehastakenrefuge,
但杀人者如果离开他逃入避难城的边界以外，
27andtheavengerofbloodfindshimbeyondtheseboundsandkillshim,theavengerincursnobloodguilt;
报血仇者在避难城边界以外遇见了他，将杀人者杀死，他并不犯流血的罪，
28thehomicidewasboundtostayinhiscityofasylumuntilthedeathofthehighpriest.Onlyafterthedeathofthehighpriestmaythehomicidereturntohisowndistrict.
因为那人该留在避难城内，直到大司祭去世；大司祭死后，杀人者方可回到属自己产业的地方：
29＂Theseshallbenormsforyouandallyourdescendants,whereveryoulive,forrenderingjudgment.
这是你们世世代代，在你们任何住处，应遵守的法令。
30＂Wheneversomeonekillsanother,theevidenceofwitnessesisrequiredfortheexecutionofthemurderer.Theevidenceofasinglewitnessisnotsufficientforputtingapersontodeath.
凡杀人的案件，应依据几个证人的口供，才可处决杀人犯；惟独一人作证，不足以将人宣判死刑。
31＂Youshallnotacceptindemnityinplaceofthelifeofamurdererwhodeservesthedeathpenalty;hemustbeputtodeath.
对于被判死刑的杀人犯，你们不可取赎命金，因为他应该死。
32Norshallyouacceptindemnitytoallowarefugeetoleavehiscityofasylumandagaindwellelsewhereinthelandbeforethedeathofthehighpriest.
同样，你们对逃入避难城的人，亦不可取赎金，准他在大司祭死以前回到本乡居住
33Youshallnotdesecratethelandwhereyoulive.Sincebloodsheddesecratestheland,thelandcanhavenoatonementforthebloodshedonitexceptthroughthebloodofhimwhoshedit.
你们不可玷污你们所居之地，因为血能玷污地；在那里流了血，除非流那杀人者的血，为那地没有其它取洁的方法。
34DonotdefilethelandinwhichyouliveandinthemidstofwhichIdwell;forIamtheLORDwhodwellsinthemidstoftheIsraelites.＂
你们不可亵渎你们所居之地，这地也是我居留之地，因为我上主是住在以色列子民中间＂。

1TheheadsoftheancestralhousesintheclanofdescendantsofGilead,sonofMachir,sonofManasseh-oneoftheJosephiteclans-cameupandlaidthispleabeforeMosesandthepriestEleazarandbeforetheprinceswhoweretheheadsoftheancestralhousesoftheotherIsraelites.
那时若瑟后裔的家族中，有默纳协的子孙，玛基尔的儿子基肋阿得子孙的家族首领，来到梅瑟和以色列子民各家族的首领前说：
2Theysaid:＂TheLORDcommandedyou,mylord,toapportionthelandbylotamongtheIsraelites;andyou,mylord,werealsocommandedbytheLORDtogivetheheritageofourkinsmanZelophehadtohisdaughters.
＂上主吩咐我主，以抽签来分给以色列子民土地为产业，我主又领了上主的命，将我们兄弟责罗斐哈得的产业，分给他的女儿们。
3ButiftheymarryintooneoftheotherIsraelitetribes,theirheritagewillbewithdrawnfromourancestralheritageandwillbeaddedtothatofthetribeintowhichtheymarry;thustheheritagethatfelltousbylotwillbediminished.
现在，如果她们嫁给了以色列子民另一支派的人，她们的产业就脱离了我们祖先的产业，而加在所嫁给的那一支派的产业上：这样，我们抽签分得的产业就减少了。
41WhentheIsraelitescelebratethejubileeyear,theheritageofthesewomenwillbepermanentlyaddedtothatofthetribeintowhichtheymarryandwillbewithdrawnfromthatofourancestraltribe.＂
甚至一到以色列子民的喜年，她们的产业仍旧加在所嫁的那一支派的产业内，我们祖先支派的产业就少了她们那一份＂。
52SoMosesgavethisregulationtotheIsraelitesaccordingtotheinstructionsoftheLORD:＂ThetribeoftheJosephitesarerightinwhattheysay.
梅瑟依上主的指示训令以色列子民说：＂若瑟子孙支派说的有理。
6ThisiswhattheLORDcommandswithregardtothedaughtersofZelophehad:Theymaymarryanyonetheyplease,providedtheymarryintoaclanoftheirancestraltribe,
上主对于责罗斐哈得的女儿们这样吩咐说：她们可任意嫁给自己所喜爱的人，但只应嫁给属于自己祖先支派的人。
7sothatnoheritageoftheIsraeliteswillpassfromonetribetoanother,butalltheIsraeliteswillretaintheirownancestralheritage.
以色列子民的产业不可由一支派转移至另一支派，因为以色列子民每人应固守自己祖先支派的产业。
8Therefore,everydaughterwhoinheritspropertyinanyoftheIsraelitetribesshallmarrysomeonebelongingtoaclanofherownancestraltribe,inorderthatalltheIsraelitesmayremaininpossessionoftheirownancestralheritage.
以色列子民支派中，凡继承产业的女子，应嫁给她祖先支派的人为妻，好使每个以色列子民能固守祖先的产业。
9Thus,noheritagecanpassfromonetribetoanother,butalltheIsraelitetribeswillretaintheirownancestralheritage.＂
这样产业就不会由一支派转移至另一支派，因为以色列子民各支派应固守自己的产业＂。
10ThedaughtersofZelophehadobeyedthecommandwhichtheLORDhadgiventoMoses.
上主怎样吩咐了梅瑟，责罗斐哈得的女儿们就怎样做了。
11Mahlah,Tirzah,Hoglah,MilcahandNoah,Zelophehad'sdaughters,marriedrelativesontheirfather'sside
责罗斐哈得的女儿：玛赫拉、提尔匝、曷革拉、米耳加和诺阿，都嫁给了自己叔伯的儿子们，
12withintheclansofthedescendantsofManasseh,sonofJoseph;hencetheirheritageremainedinthetribeoftheirfather'sclan.
即嫁给了若瑟的儿子默纳协子孙家族的人：如此她们的产业仍保留在她们祖先家族的支派内。
13ThesearethecommandmentsanddecisionswhichtheLORDprescribedfortheIsraelitesthroughMoses,ontheplainsofMoabbesidetheJerichostretchoftheJordan.
这是上主在耶利哥对面，约旦河边，摩阿布旷野内，藉梅瑟向以色列子民所颁布的诫命和规则。
