1.当你上帝永恒将你带到起誓应许你祖先亚伯拉罕、以撒和雅各的土地上，分给你——那些你没有建造的大而繁荣的城市，When the ETERNAL your God brings you to the land that you are about to enter and possess, and dislodges many nations before you—the Hittites, Girgashites, Amorites, Canaanites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites, seven nations much larger than you—
2.耶和华你们的神将他们交在你们手中，你们就击败他们，要将他们灭绝：不可与他们立约，也不可怜恤他们。and the ETERNAL your God delivers them to you and you defeat them, you must doom them to destruction: grant them no terms and give them no quarter.
3.你们不可与他们通婚，不可将你们的女儿嫁给他们的儿子，也不可将他们的女儿娶为你们的儿子。You shall not intermarry with them: do not give your daughters to their sons or take their daughters for your sons.
4.因为他们会使你们的子孙偏离我去侍奉别的神，耶和华的怒气就会发作在你们身上，很快就把你们灭绝。For they will turn your children away from Me to worship other gods, and GOD’s anger will blaze forth against you, promptly wiping you out.
5.你要这样对待他们：拆毁他们的祭坛，打碎他们的柱子，砍伐他们的木偶，并将他们的雕像投入火中。Instead, this is what you shall do to them: you shall tear down their altars, smash their pillars, cut down their sacred posts, and consign their images to the fire.
6.因为你们是归永恒你们的神为圣的民，在地上所有的民中，永恒你们的神拣选你们作自己的珍宝《注》《珍宝》原文为“作为他所宝贵的民”For you are a people consecrated to the ETERNAL your God: of all the peoples on earth, the ETERNAL your God chose you to be the treasured one.
7.并不是因为你们是人数最多的民族，神才亲近你们，选择了你们——其实你们是最小的民族；It is not because you are the most numerous of peoples that GOD grew attached to you and chose you—indeed, you are the smallest of peoples;
8.只是因为上帝喜爱你们，记念他向你们的祖宗所立的誓，才用大能的手将你们从奴隶之家，從埃及法老王的权下救出来。but it was because GOD favored you and kept the oath made to your fathers that GOD freed you with a mighty hand and rescued you from the house of bondage, from the power of Pharaoh king of Egypt.
9.所以你要知道，只有你所侍奉的上帝是神，他是坚守约的神，向爱他、守他诫命的人，直到千代都坚守这约，Know, therefore, that only the ETERNAL your God is God, the steadfast God who keeps this covenant faithfully to the thousandth generation of those who show love and keep the commandments,
10.却是对不忠的立即加以报应——从不延缓对待不忠的人，反而立即报应他们。but who instantly requites with destruction those who are disloyal—never slow with those who are disloyal, but requiting them instantly.
11.因此，你们要谨慎遵守我今日所吩咐的法度和律例。Therefore, observe faithfully the Instruction—the laws and the rules—with which I charge you today.
12.如果你遵守这些律例，谨慎遵行，永恒的神你的上帝必照他向你祖宗所起的誓，诚实地与你立约：And if you do obey these rules and observe them carefully, the ETERNAL your God will maintain faithfully for you the covenant made on oath with your fathers:
13.上帝必使你蒙福并使你繁多，福祉你的后裔从你胎中出来的和你地上出来的，你的新谷和新酒与新油，以及你的牛群所生的和你的羊群所产的，在他起誓将给你列祖的那地。[God] will favor you and bless you and multiply you—blessing your issue from the womb and your produce from the soil, your new grain and wine and oil, the calving of your herd and the lambing of your flock, in the land sworn to your fathers to be assigned to you.
14.你们必比天下万民都得福，在你们中间，连男带女带牲畜，没有不能生育的。You shall be blessed above all other peoples: there shall be no sterile male or female among you or among your livestock.
15.上帝必将一切疾病远离你，不将埃及所有的恶疾，，就是你所知道的，降于你，却降于一切恨你的人。GOD will ward off from you all sickness—and will not bring upon you any of the dreadful diseases of Egypt, about which you know, but will inflict them upon all your enemies.
16.你要消灭耶和华你神将要交给你的所有民族，不可对他们存怜悯的心，也不可侍奉他们的神，因为这必成为你的网罗You shall destroy all the peoples that the ETERNAL your God delivers to you, showing them no pity. And you shall not worship their gods, for that would be a snare to you.
17.你们也许会对自己说：“这些国家的人比我们多，他们的城墙又高又坚固，城门又有防御设施，怎么能赶走他们呢？”Should you say to yourselves, “These nations are more numerous than we; how can we dispossess them?”
18.你们不必害怕他们，只要记得永在的神对法老和所有埃及人所做的一切事：You need have no fear of them. You have but to bear in mind what the ETERNAL your God did to Pharaoh and all the Egyptians:
19.你亲眼所看见的那些奇妙的作为，神迹和预兆，大能的手和伸出来的臂，都是永在的神你的神用来救你脱离的。永在的神你的神也必这样对待你现在所怕的所有民族。the wondrous acts that you saw with your own eyes, the signs and the portents, the mighty hand, and the outstretched arm by which the ETERNAL your God liberated you. Thus will the ETERNAL your God do to all the peoples you now fear.
20.你们的上帝永恒主也会派灾病攻击他们，直到那些躲藏的人在你们面前灭亡。The ETERNAL your God will also send a plague uncertain. Cf. Exod. 23.28. against them, until those who are left in hiding perish before you.
21.不要因他们而恐惧，因为永在的神，你的神与你同在，他是一位大而可畏的神。Do not stand in dread of them, for the ETERNAL your God is in your midst, a great and awesome God.
22.你永在的神将在你面前逐渐地把那些国民赶出去，你不能立即将他们灭绝，否则野地的兽物将会增多，成为你的祸害。The ETERNAL your God will dislodge those peoples before you little by little; you will not be able to put an end to them at once, else the wild beasts would multiply to your hurt.
23.耶和华你们的神必将他们交在你们手中，使他们极其惊慌，直到他们灭亡。The ETERNAL your God will deliver them up to you, throwing them into utter panic until they are wiped out.
24.他们的王将交在你们手中，你们必将他们的名号从天下消灭，没有人能在你们面前站立，直到你们将他们灭绝。Their kings will be delivered into your hand, and you shall obliterate their name from under the heavens; no one shall stand up to you, until you have wiped them out.
25.你们要将他们神的雕像扔在火里；你们不可贪恋他们身上的银子和金子为自己保留，否则你们就会因此陷入迷惑；因为这在你们的神永恒主眼中是可憎的。You shall consign the images of their gods to the fire; you shall not covet the silver and gold on them and keep it for yourselves, lest you be ensnared thereby; for that is abhorrent to the ETERNAL your God.
26.你们不可将可憎之物带入家中，否则你们就要与它一同被毁灭，你们要将它视为可憎和可厌，因为它是被禁止的。You must not bring an abhorrent thing into your house, or you will be proscribed like it; you must reject it as abominable and abhorrent, for it is proscribed.
