出埃及記 23

pag-aaral

   

1 不可隨夥佈散謠言;不可與惡人連妄作見證。

2 不可隨眾行惡;不可在爭訟的事上隨眾偏行,作見證屈枉正直;

3 也不可在爭訟的事上偏護窮人。

4 遇見你仇敵的牛或失迷了,總要牽回來交給他。

5 見恨你人的壓臥在重馱之,不可走開,務要和主一同抬開重馱。

6 不可在窮人爭訟的事上屈枉正直。

7 當遠離虛假的事。不可殺無辜和有的人,因我必不以惡人為

8 不可受賄賂;因為賄賂能叫明眼人變瞎了,又能顛倒人的

9 不可欺壓寄居的;因為你們在埃及作過寄居的,知道寄居的心。

10 年你要耕種田,收藏土產,

11 只是第七年要叫地歇息,不耕不種,使你民中的窮人有的;他們所剩下的,野獸可以。你的葡萄園橄欖園也要照樣辦理。

12 日你要做工,第七日要安息,使牛、可以歇息,並使你婢女的兒子和寄居的都可以舒暢。

13 凡我對你們的話,你們要謹守。別的名,你不可題,也不可從你中傳

14 一年三次,你要向我守節。

15 你要守除酵節,照我所吩咐你的,在亞筆內所定的日期,無酵。誰也不可空手朝見我,因為你是這出了埃及

16 又要守收割節,所收的是你田間所種、勞碌得來初熟之物。並在年底收藏,要守收藏節。

17 一切的男丁要一年三次朝見耶和華

18 不可將我祭牲的血和有的餅一同獻上;也不可將我節上祭牲的脂油留到早晨

19 地裡首先初熟之物要送到耶和華─你的殿。不可用山羊羔母的奶山羊羔。

20 看哪,我差遣使者在你前面,在上保護你,領你到我所預備的地方去。

21 他是奉我名來的;你們要在他面前謹慎,從他的話,不可惹(惹或作:違背)他,因為他必不赦免你們的過犯。

22 你若實在從他的話,照著我一切所的去行,我就向你的仇敵作仇敵,向你的敵人敵人

23 我的使者要在你前面行,領你到亞摩利人、赫人、比利洗人、迦南人、希未人、耶布斯人那裡去,我必將他們剪除。

24 你不可跪拜他們的,不可事奉他,也不可效法他們的行為,卻要把像盡行拆毀,打碎他們的柱像。

25 你們要事奉耶和華─你們的,他必賜福與你的糧與你的,也必從你們中間除去疾病

26 你境內必沒有墜胎的,不生產的。我要使你滿了你年日的數目。

27 凡你所到的地方,我要使那裡的眾民在你面前驚駭,擾亂,又要使你一切仇敵背逃跑。

28 我要打發黃蜂飛在你前面,把希未人、迦南人、赫人攆出去。

29 我不在年之內將他們從你面前攆出去,恐怕成為荒涼,野的獸多起來害你。

30 我要漸漸將他們從你面前攆出去,等到你的人數加多,承受那為業。

31 我要定你的境界,從紅直到非利士,又從曠野直到大。我要將那居民交在你中,你要將他們從你面前攆出去。

32 不可和他們並他們的立約。

33 他們不可在你的上,恐怕他們使你得罪我。你若事奉他們的,這必成為你的網羅

Matthew 25:14-30

pag-aaral

      

14 "For it is like a man, going into another country, who called his own servants, and entrusted his goods to them.

15 To one he gave five talents, to another two, to another one; to each according to his own ability. Then he went on his journey.

16 Immediately he who received the five talents went and traded with them, and made another five talents.

17 In the same way, he also who got the two gained another two.

18 But he who received the one went away and dug in the earth, and hid his lord's money.

19 "Now after a long time the lord of those servants came, and reconciled accounts with them.

20 He who received the five talents came and brought another five talents, saying, 'Lord, you delivered to me five talents. Behold, I have gained another five talents besides them.'

21 "His lord said to him, 'Well done, good and faithful servant. You have been faithful over a few things, I will set you over many things. Enter into the joy of your lord.'

22 "He also who got the two talents came and said, 'Lord, you delivered to me two talents. Behold, I have gained another two talents besides them.'

23 "His lord said to him, 'Well done, good and faithful servant. You have been faithful over a few things, I will set you over many things. Enter into the joy of your lord.'

24 "He also who had received the one talent came and said, 'Lord, I knew you that you are a hard man, reaping where you did not sow, and gathering where you did not scatter.

25 I was afraid, and went away and hid your talent in the earth. Behold, you have what is yours.'

26 "But his lord answered him, 'You wicked and slothful servant. You knew that I reap where I didn't sow, and gather where I didn't scatter.

27 You ought therefore to have deposited my money with the bankers, and at my coming I should have received back my own with interest.

28 Take away therefore the talent from him, and give it to him who has the ten talents.

29 For to everyone who has will be given, and he will have abundance, but from him who doesn't have, even that which he has will be taken away.

30 Throw out the unprofitable servant into the outer darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.'
