신명기 1

1이는 모세가 요단 저편 숩 맞은편의 아라바 광야 곧 바란과 도벨과 라반과 하세롯과 디사합 사이에서 이스라엘 무리에게 선포한 말씀이니라 2호렙 산에서 세일 산을 지나 가데스 바네아에까지 열하룻 길이었더라 3제사십년 십일월 그 달 초일일에 모세가 이스라엘 자손에게 여호와께서 그들을 위하여 자기에게 주신 명령을 다 고하였으니 4때는 모세가 헤스본에 거하는 아모리 왕 시혼을 쳐 죽이고 에드레이에서 아스다롯에 거하는 바산 왕 옥을 쳐 죽인 후라 5모세가 요단 저편 모압 땅에서 이 율법 설명하기를 시작하였더라 일렀으되 6우리 하나님 여호와께서 호렙 산에서 우리에게 말씀하여 이르시기를 너희가 이 산에서 거한지 오래니 7방향을 돌려 진행하여 아모리 족속의 산지로 가고 그 근지 곳곳으로 가고 아라바와 산지와 평지와 남방과 해변과 가나안 족속의 땅과 레바논과 큰 강 유브라데까지 가라 하셨나니 8여호와께서 너희의 열조 아브라함과 이삭과 야곱에게 맹세하사 그들과 그 후손에게 주리라 하신 땅이 너희 앞에 있으니 들어가서 얻을지니라 9그 때에 내가 너희에게 말하여 이르기를 나는 홀로 너희 짐을 질 수 없도다 10너희 하나님 여호와께서 너희를 번성케 하셨으므로 너희가 오늘날 하늘의 별 같이 많거니와 11너희 열조의 하나님 여호와께서 너희를 현재보다 천 배나 많게 하시며 너희에게 허락하신 것과 같이 너희에게 복 주시기를 원하노라 12그런즉 나 홀로 어찌 능히 너희의 괴로운 것과 너희의 무거운 짐과 너희의 다툼을 담당할 수 있으랴 13너희의 각 지파에서 지혜와 지식이 있는 유명한 자를 택하라 내가 그들을 세워 너희 두령을 삼으리라 한즉 14너희가 대답하여 이르기를 당신의 말씀대로 하는 것이 좋다 하기에 15내가 너희 지파의 두령으로 지혜가 있는 유명한 자를 취하여 너희의 어른을 삼되 곧 각 지파를 따라 천부장과 백부장과 오십부장과 십부장과 패장을 삼고 16내가 그 때에 너희 재판장들에게 명하여 이르기를 너희가 너희 형제 중에 송사를 들을 때에 양방간에 공정히 판결할 것이며 그들 중의 타국인에게도 그리 할것이라 17재판은 하나님께 속한 것인즉 너희는 재판에 외모를 보지 말고 귀천을 일반으로 듣고 사람의 낯을 두려워 말것이며 스스로 결단하기 어려운 일이거든 내게로 돌리라 내가 들으리라 하였고 18내가 너희의 행할 모든 일을 그 때에 너희에게 다 명하였느니라 19우리 하나님 여호와께서 우리에게 명하신 대로 우리가 호렙 산에서 발행하여 너희의 본바 크고 두려운 광야를 지나 아모리 족속 산지 길로 가데스 바네아에 이른 때에 20내가 너희에게 이르기를 우리 하나님 여호와께서 우리에게 주신 아모리 족속의 산지에 너희가 이르렀나니 21너희 하나님 여호와께서 이 땅을 너희 앞에 두셨은즉 너희 열조의 하나님 여호와께서 너희에게 이르신 대로 올라가서 얻으라 두려워 말라 주저하지 말라 한즉 22너희가 다 내 앞으로 나아와 말하기를 우리가 사람을 우리 앞서 보내어 우리를 위하여 그 땅을 정탐하고 어느 길로 올라가야 할 것과 어느 성읍으로 들어가야 할 것을 우리에게 회보케 하자 하기에 23내가 그 말을 선히 여겨 너희 중에서 매 지파에 한 사람씩 열둘을 택하매 24그들이 앞으로 가서 산지에 올라 에스골 골짜기에 이르러 그곳을 정탐하고 25그 땅의 과실을 손에 가지고 우리에게로 돌아와서 우리에게 회보하여 이르되 우리의 하나님 여호와께서 우리에게 주시는 땅이 좋더라 하였느니라 26그러나 너희가 올라가기를 즐겨 아니하고 너희 하나님 여호와의 명을 거역하여 27장막 중에서 원망하여 이르기를 여호와께서 우리를 미워하시는 고로 아모리 족속의 손에 붙여 멸하시려고 우리를 애굽 땅에서 인도하여 내셨도다 28우리가 어디로 갈꼬 우리의 형제들이 우리로 낙심케 하여 말하기를 그 백성은 우리보다 장대하며 그 성읍은 크고 성곽은 하늘에 닿았으며 우리가 또 거기서 아낙 자손을 보았노라 하는도다 하기로 29내가 너희에게 말하기를 그들을 무서워 말라 두려워하지 말라 30너희 앞서 행하시는 너희 하나님 여호와께서 애굽에서 너희를 위하여 너희 목전에서 모든 일을 행하신 것 같이 이제도 너희를 위하여 싸우실 것이며 31광야에서도 너희가 당하였거니와 사람이 자기 아들을 안음 같이 너희 하나님 여호와께서 너희의 행로 중에 너희를 안으사 이곳까지 이르게 하셨느니라 하나 32이 일에 너희가 너희 하나님 여호와를 믿지 아니하였도다 33그는 너희 앞서 행하시며 장막 칠 곳을 찾으시고 밤에는 불로, 낮에는 구름으로 너희의 행할 길을 지시하신 자니라 34여호와께서 너희의 말소리를 들으시고 노하사 맹세하여 가라사대 35이 악한 세대 사람들 중에는 내가 그들의 열조에게 주기로 맹세한 좋은 땅을 볼 자가 하나도 없으리라 36오직 여분네의 아들 갈렙은 온전히 여호와를 순종하였은즉 그는 그것을 볼 것이요 그가 밟은 땅을 내가 그와 그의 자손에게 주리라 하시고 37여호와께서 너희의 연고로 내게도 진노하사 가라사대 너도 그리로 들어가지 못하리라 38너의 종자 눈의 아들 여호수아는 그리로 들어갈 것이니 너는 그를 담대케 하라 그가 이스라엘에게 그 땅을 기업으로 얻게 하리라 39또 너희가 사로잡히리라 하던 너희의 아이들과 당일에 선악을 분변치 못하던 너희 자녀들 그들은 그리로 들어갈 것이라 내가 그 땅을 그들에게 주어 산업이 되게 하리라 40너희는 회정하여 홍해 길로 하여 광야로 들어갈지니라 하시매 41너희가 대답하여 내게 이르기를 우리가 여호와께 범죄하였사오니 우리 하나님께서 우리에게 명하신 대로 우리가 올라가서 싸우리이다 하고 너희가 각각 병기를 띠고 경솔히 산지로 올라가려 할 때에 42여호와께서 내게 이르시되 너는 그들에게 이르기를 너희는 올라가지 말라 싸우지도 말라 내가 너희 중에 있지 아니하니 너희가 대적에게 패할까 하노라 하셨다 하라 하시기로 43내가 너희에게 고하였으나 너희가 듣지 아니하고 여호와의 명을 거역하고 천자히 산지로 올라가매 44그 산지에 거하는 아모리 족속이 너희를 마주 나와서 벌떼 같이 너희를 쫓아 세일 산에서 쳐서 호르마까지 미친지라 45너희가 돌아와서 여호와 앞에서 통곡하나 여호와께서 너희의 소리를 듣지 아니하시며 너희에게 귀를 기울이지 아니하셨으므로 46너희가 가데스에 여러날 동안 거하였었나니 곧 너희가 그 곳에 거하던 날 수대로니라

1These are the words which Moses spoke to all Israel beyond the Jordan in the wilderness, in the Arabah over against Suf, between Paran, Tophel, Laban, Hazeroth, and Dizahab. 2It is eleven days’ journey from Horeb by the way of Mount Seir to Kadesh Barnea. 3In the fortieth year, in the eleventh month, on the first day of the month, Moses spoke to the children of Israel, according to all that Yahweh had given him in commandment to them; 4after he had struck Sihon the king of the Amorites, who lived in Heshbon, and Og the king of Bashan, who lived in Ashtaroth, at Edrei. 5Beyond the Jordan, in the land of Moab, Moses began to declare this law, saying, 6“Yahweh our God spoke to us in Horeb, saying, ‘You have lived long enough at this mountain. 7Turn, and take your journey, and go to the hill country of the Amorites, and to all the places near there, in the Arabah, in the hill country, and in the lowland, and in the South, and by the seashore, the land of the Canaanites, and Lebanon, as far as the great river, the river Euphrates. 8Behold, I have set the land before you. Go in and possess the land which Yahweh swore to your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give to them and to their seed after them.’” 9I spoke to you at that time, saying, “I am not able to bear you myself alone. 10Yahweh your God has multiplied you, and behold, you are this day as the stars of the sky for multitude. 11Yahweh, the God of your fathers, make you a thousand times as many as you are, and bless you, as he has promised you! 12How can I myself alone bear your problems, your burdens, and your strife? 13Take wise men of understanding and well known according to your tribes, and I will make them heads over you.” 14You answered me, and said, “The thing which you have spoken is good to do.” 15So I took the heads of your tribes, wise men, and known, and made them heads over you, captains of thousands, and captains of hundreds, and captains of fifties, and captains of tens, and officers, according to your tribes. 16I commanded your judges at that time, saying, “Hear cases between your brothers, and judge righteously between a man and his brother, and the foreigner who is living with him. 17You shall not show partiality in judgment; you shall hear the small and the great alike. You shall not be afraid of the face of man, for the judgment is God’s. The case that is too hard for you, you shall bring to me, and I will hear it.” 18I commanded you at that time all the things which you should do. 19We traveled from Horeb, and went through all that great and terrible wilderness which you saw, by the way to the hill country of the Amorites, as Yahweh our God commanded us; and we came to Kadesh Barnea. 20I said to you, “You have come to the hill country of the Amorites, which Yahweh our God gives to us. 21Behold, Yahweh your God has set the land before you. Go up, take possession, as Yahweh, the God of your fathers, has spoken to you. Don’t be afraid, neither be dismayed.” 22You came near to me, everyone of you, and said, “Let us send men before us, that they may search the land for us, and bring us word again of the way by which we must go up, and the cities to which we shall come.” 23The thing pleased me well. I took twelve men of you, one man for every tribe. 24They turned and went up into the hill country, and came to the valley of Eshcol, and spied it out. 25They took some of the fruit of the land in their hands, and brought it down to us, and brought us word again, and said, “It is a good land which Yahweh our God gives to us.” 26Yet you wouldn’t go up, but rebelled against the commandment of Yahweh your God. 27You murmured in your tents, and said, “Because Yahweh hated us, he has brought us out of the land of Egypt, to deliver us into the hand of the Amorites, to destroy us. 28Where are we going up? Our brothers have made our heart melt, saying, ‘The people are greater and taller than we. The cities are great and fortified up to the sky. Moreover we have seen the sons of the Anakim there!’” 29Then I said to you, “Don’t dread, neither be afraid of them. 30Yahweh your God who goes before you, he will fight for you, according to all that he did for you in Egypt before your eyes, 31and in the wilderness, where you have seen how that Yahweh your God bore you, as a man does bear his son, in all the way that you went, until you came to this place.” 32Yet in this thing you didn’t believe Yahweh your God, 33who went before you on the way, to seek out a place for you to pitch your tents in, in fire by night, to show you by what way you should go, and in the cloud by day. 34Yahweh heard the voice of your words, and was angry, and swore, saying, 35“Surely not one of these men of this evil generation shall see the good land, which I swore to give to your fathers, 36except Caleb the son of Jephunneh. He shall see it. I will give the land that he has trodden on to him, and to his children, because he has wholly followed Yahweh.” 37Also Yahweh was angry with me for your sakes, saying, “You also shall not go in there. 38Joshua the son of Nun, who stands before you, shall go in there. Encourage him, for he shall cause Israel to inherit it. 39Moreover your little ones, whom you said should be captured or killed, and your children, who this day have no knowledge of good or evil, they shall go in there, and I will give it to, and they shall possess it. 40But as for you, turn, and take your journey into the wilderness by the way to the Red Sea.” 41Then you answered and said to me, “We have sinned against Yahweh, we will go up and fight, according to all that Yahweh our God commanded us.” Every man of you put on his weapons of war, and presumed to go up into the hill country. 42Yahweh said to me, “Tell them, ‘Don’t go up, neither fight; for I am not among you; lest you be struck before your enemies.’” 43So I spoke to you, and you didn’t listen; but you rebelled against the commandment of Yahweh, and were presumptuous, and went up into the hill country. 44The Amorites, who lived in that hill country, came out against you, and chased you, as bees do, and beat you down in Seir, even to Hormah. 45You returned and wept before Yahweh; but Yahweh didn’t listen to your voice, nor turn his ear to you. 46So you stayed in Kadesh many days, according to the days that you remained.

1Dit zijn de woorden, die Mozes tot gans Israel gesproken heeft, aan deze zijde van de Jordaan, in de woestijn, op het vlakke veld tegenover Suf, tussen Paran en tussen Tofel, en Laban, en Hazeroth, en Dizahab. 2Elf dag reizen zijn het van Horeb, door den weg van het gebergte Seir, tot aan Kades-Barnea. 3En het is geschied in het veertigste jaar, in de elfde maand, op den eersten der maand, dat Mozes sprak tot de kinderen Israels, naar alles wat hem de HEERE aan hen bevolen had; 4Nadat hij geslagen had Sihon, den koning der Amorieten, die te Hesbon woonde, en Og, den koning van Bazan, welke woonde in Astharoth, te Edrei. 5Aan deze zijde van de Jordaan, in het land van Moab, hief Mozes aan, deze wet uit te leggen, zeggende: 6De HEERE, onze God, sprak tot ons aan Horeb, zeggende: Gij zijt lang genoeg bij dezen berg gebleven. 7Keert u, en vertrekt, en gaat in het gebergte der Amorieten, en tot al hun geburen, in het vlakke veld, op het gebergte, en in de laagte, en in het zuiden, en aan de havens der zee; het land der Kanaanieten, en den Libanon, tot aan die grote rivier, de rivier Frath. 8Ziet, Ik heb dat land gegeven voor uw aangezicht; gaat daarin, en bezit erfelijk het land, dat de HEERE aan uw vaderen, Abraham, Izak en Jakob gegeven heeft, dat Hij het hun en hun zaad na hen geven zou. 9En ik sprak ter zelfder tijd tot u, zeggende: Ik alleen zal u niet kunnen dragen. 10De HEERE, uw God, heeft u vermenigvuldigd, en ziet, gij zijt heden als de sterren des hemels in menigte. 11De HEERE, uwer vaderen God, doe tot u, zo als gij nu zijt, duizendmaal meer, en Hij zegene u, gelijk als Hij tot u gesproken heeft! 12Hoe zoude ik alleen uw moeite, en uw last, en uw twistzaken dragen? 13Neemt u wijze, en verstandige, en ervarene mannen, van uw stammen, dat ik hen tot uw hoofden stelle. 14Toen antwoorddet gij mij, en zeidet: Dit woord is goed, dat gij gesproken hebt, om te doen. 15Zo nam ik de hoofden uwer stammen, wijze en ervarene mannen, en stelde hen tot hoofden over u, oversten van duizenden, en oversten van honderden, en oversten van vijftigen, en oversten van tienen, en ambtlieden voor uw stammen. 16En ik gebood uw rechters ter zelfder tijd, zeggende: Hoort de verschillen tussen uw broederen, en richt recht tussen den man en tussen zijn broeder, en tussen deszelfs vreemdeling. 17Gij zult het aangezicht in het gericht niet kennen; gij zult den kleine, zowel als den grote, horen; gij zult niet vrezen voor iemands aangezicht; want het gericht is Godes; doch de zaak, die voor u te zwaar zal zijn, zult gij tot mij doen komen, en ik zal ze horen. 18Alzo gebood ik u te dier tijd alle zaken, die gij zoudt doen. 19Toen vertogen wij van Horeb, en doorwandelden die gans grote en vreselijke woestijn, die gij gezien hebt, op den weg van het gebergte der Amorieten, gelijk de HEERE, onze God, ons geboden had; en wij kwamen tot Kades-Barnea. 20Toen zeide ik tot ulieden: Gij zijt gekomen tot het gebergte der Amorieten, dat de HEERE, onze God, ons geven zal. 21Ziet, de HEERE, uw God, heeft dat land gegeven voor uw aangezicht; trekt op, bezit het erfelijk, gelijk als de HEERE, uwer vaderen God, tot u gesproken heeft; vreest niet, en ontzet u niet. 22Toen naderdet gij allen tot mij, en zeidet: Laat ons mannen voor ons aangezicht heenzenden, die ons het land uitspeuren, en ons bescheid wederbrengen, wat weg wij daarin optrekken zullen, en tot wat steden wij komen zullen. 23Deze zaak nu was goed in mijn ogen; zo nam ik uit u twaalf mannen, van elken stam een man. 24Die keerden zich, en togen op naar het gebergte, en kwamen tot het dal Eskol, en verspiedden datzelve. 25En zij namen van de vrucht des lands in hun hand, en brachten ze tot ons af, en zeiden ons bescheid weder, en zeiden: Het land, dat de HEERE, onze God, ons geven zal, is goed. 26Doch gij wildet niet optrekken; maar gij waart den mond des HEEREN uws Gods, wederspannig. 27En gij murmureerdet in uw tenten, en zeidet: Omdat de HEERE ons haat, heeft Hij ons uit Egypteland uitgevoerd, opdat Hij ons levere in de hand der Amorieten, om ons te verdelgen. 28Waarheen zouden wij optrekken? Onze broeders hebben ons hart doen smelten, zeggende: Het is een volk, groter en langer dan wij; de steden zijn groot, en gesterkt tot in de hemel toe; ook hebben wij daar kinderen der Enakieten gezien. 29Toen zeide ik tot u: Verschrikt niet, en vreest niet voor hen. 30De HEERE, uw God, Die voor uw aangezicht wandelt, Die zal voor u strijden, naar alles, wat Hij bij u voor uw ogen gedaan heeft in Egypte. 31En in de woestijn, waar gij gezien hebt, dat de HEERE uw God, u daarin gedragen heeft, als een man zijn zoon draagt, op al den weg, dien gij gewandeld hebt, totdat gij kwaamt aan deze plaats. 32Maar door dit woord geloofdet gij niet aan den HEERE, uw God. 33Die voor uw aangezicht op den weg wandelde, om u de plaats uit te zien, waar gij zoudt legeren; des nachts in het vuur, opdat Hij u den weg wees, waarin gij zoudt gaan, en des daags in de wolk. 34Als nu de HEERE de stem uwer woorden hoorde, zo werd Hij zeer toornig, en zwoer, zeggende: 35Zo iemand van deze mannen, van dit kwade geslacht, zal zien dat goede land, hetwelk Ik gezworen heb uw vaderen te zullen geven! 36Behalve Kaleb, de zoon van Jefunne; die zal het zien, en aan hem zal Ik het land geven, waarop hij getreden heeft, en aan zijn kinderen; omdat hij volhard heeft den HEERE te volgen. 37Ook vertoornde zich de HEERE op mij om uwentwil, zeggende: Gij zult daar ook niet inkomen. 38Jozua, de zoon van Nun, die voor uw aangezicht staat, die zal daarin komen; sterk denzelven, want hij zal het Israel doen erven. 39En uw kinderkens, waarvan gij zeidet: Zij zullen tot een roof zijn; en uw kinderen, die heden noch goed noch kwaad weten, die zullen daarin komen, en dien zal Ik het geven, en die zullen het erfelijk bezitten. 40Gij daarentegen, keert u, en reist naar de woestijn, den weg van de Schelfzee. 41Toen antwoorddet gij, en zeidet tot mij: Wij hebben tegen den HEERE gezondigd; wij zullen optrekken, en strijden, naar alles, wat de HEERE, onze God, ons geboden heeft. Als gij nu een iegelijk zijn krijgsgereedschap aangorddet, en willens waart, om naar het gebergte henen op te trekken, 42Zo zeide de HEERE tot mij: Zeg hun: Trekt niet op, en strijdt niet, want Ik ben niet in het midden van u; opdat gij niet voor het aangezicht uwer vijanden geslagen wordet. 43Doch als ik tot u sprak, zo hoordet gij niet, maar waart den mond des HEEREN wederspannig, en handeldet trotselijk, en toogt op naar het gebergte. 44Toen togen de Amorieten uit, die op dat gebergte woonden, u tegemoet, en vervolgden u, gelijk als de bijen doen; en zij verpletterden u in Seir tot Horma toe. 45Als gij nu wederkwaamt en weendet voor het aangezicht des HEEREN, zo verhoorde de HEERE uw stem niet, en neigde Zijn oren niet tot u. 46Alzo bleeft gij in Kades vele dagen, naar de dagen, dat gij er bleeft.
