신명기 7

1네 하나님 여호와께서 너를 인도하사 네가 가서 얻을 땅으로 들이시고 네 앞에서 여러 민족 헷 족속과 기르가스 족속과 아모리 족속과 가나안 족속과 브리스 족속과 히위 족속과 여부스 족속 곧 너보다 많고 힘이 있는 일곱 족속을 쫓아내실 때에 2네 하나님 여호와께서 그들을 네게 붙여 너로 치게 하시리니 그 때에 너는 그들을 진멸할 것이라 그들과 무슨 언약도 말 것이요 그들을 불쌍히 여기지도 말 것이며 3또 그들과 혼인하지 말지니 네 딸을 그 아들에게 주지 말 것이요 그 딸로 네 며느리를 삼지 말 것은 4그가 네 아들을 유혹하여 그로 여호와를 떠나고 다른 신들을 섬기게 하므로 여호와께서 너희에게 진노하사 갑자기 너희를 멸하실 것임이니라 5오직 너희가 그들에게 행할 것은 이러하니 그들의 단을 헐며 주상을 깨뜨리며 아세라 목상을 찍으며 조각한 우상들을 불사를 것이니라 6너는 여호와 네 하나님의 성민이라 네 하나님 여호와께서 지상 만민 중에서 너를 자기 기업의 백성으로 택하셨나니 7여호와께서 너희를 기뻐하시고 너희를 택하심은 너희가 다른 민족보다 수효가 많은 연고가 아니라 너희는 모든 민족 중에 가장 적으니라 8여호와께서 다만 너희를 사랑하심을 인하여 또는 너희 열조에게 하신 맹세를 지키려 하심을 인하여 자기의 권능의 손으로 너희를 인도하여 내시되 너희를 그 종 되었던 집에서 애굽 왕 바로의 손에서 속량하셨나니 9그런즉 너는 알라 오직 네 하나님 여호와는 하나님이시요 신실하신 하나님이시라 그를 사랑하고 그 계명을 지키는 자에게는 천 대까지 그 언약을 이행하시며 인애를 베푸시되 10그를 미워하는 자에게는 당장에 보응하여 멸하시나니 여호와는 자기를 미워하는 자에게 지체하지 아니하시고 당장에 그에게 보응하시느니라 11그런즉 너는 오늘날 내가 네게 명하는 명령과 규례와 법도를 지켜 행할지니라 12너희가 이 모든 법도를 듣고 지켜 행하면 네 하나님 여호와께서 네 열조에게 맹세하신 언약을 지켜 네게 인애를 베푸실 것이라 13곧 너를 사랑하시고 복을 주사 너로 번성케 하시되 네게 주리라고 네 열조에게 맹세하신 땅에서 네 소생에게 은혜를 베푸시며 네 토지 소산과 곡식과 포도주와 기름을 풍성케 하시고 네 소와 양을 번식케 하시리니 14네가 복을 받음이 만민보다 우승하여 너희 중의 남녀와 너희 짐승의 암수에 생육하지 못함이 없을 것이며 15여호와께서 또 모든 질병을 네게서 멀리하사 너희가 아는 바 그 애굽의 악질이 네게 임하지 않게 하시고 너를 미워하는 모든 자에게 임하게 하실 것이라 16네 하나님 여호와께서 네게 붙이신 모든 민족을 네 눈이 긍휼히 보지 말고 진멸하고 그 신을 섬기지 말라 그것이 네게 올무가 되리라 17네가 혹시 심중에 이르기를 이 민족들이 나보다 많으니 내가 어찌 그를 쫓아 낼 수 있으리요 하리라마는 18그들을 두려워 말고 네 하나님 여호와께서 바로와 온 애굽에 행하신 것을 잘 기억하되 19네 하나님 여호와께서 너를 인도하여 내실 때에 네가 목도한 큰 시험과 이적과 기사와 강한 손과 편 팔을 기억하라 그와 같이 네 하나님 여호와께서 네가 두려워하는 모든 민족에게 행하실 것이요 20네 하나님 여호와께서 또 왕벌을 그들 중에 보내어 그들의 남은 자와 너를 피하여 숨은 자를 멸하시리니 21너는 그들을 두려워 말라 너희 하나님 여호와 곧 크고 두려운 하나님이 너희 중에 계심이니라 22네 하나님 여호와께서 이 민족들을 네 앞에서 점점 쫓아내시리니 너는 그들을 급히 멸하지 말라 두렵건대 들짐승이 번성하여 너를 해할까 하노라 23네 하나님 여호와께서 그들을 네게 붙이시고 그들을 크게 요란케 하여 필경은 진멸하시고 24그들의 왕들을 네 손에 붙이시리니 너는 그 이름을 천하에서 제하여 버리라 너를 당할 자가 없이 네가 필경은 그들을 진멸하리라 25너는 그들의 조각한 신상들을 불사르고 그것에 입힌 은이나 금을 탐내지 말며 취하지 말라 두렵건대 네가 그것으로 인하여 올무에 들까 하노니 이는 네 하나님 여호와의 가증히 여기시는 것임이니라 26너는 가증한 것을 네 집에 들이지 말라 너도 그와 같이 진멸당할 것이 될까 하노라 너는 그것을 극히 꺼리며 심히 미워하라 그것은 진멸당할 것임이니라

1When Yahweh your God brings you into the land where you go to possess it, and casts out many nations before you, the Hittite, the Girgashite, the Amorite, the Canaanite, the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite, seven nations greater and mightier than you; 2and when Yahweh your God delivers them up before you, and you strike them; then you shall utterly destroy them. You shall make no covenant with them, nor show mercy to them; 3neither shall you make marriages with them. You shall not give your daughter to his son, nor shall you take his daughter for your son. 4For he will turn away your son from following me, that they may serve other gods. So Yahweh’s anger would be kindled against you, and he would destroy you quickly. 5But you shall deal with them like this. You shall break down their altars, dash their pillars in pieces, and cut down their Asherah poles, and burn their engraved images with fire. 6For you are a holy people to Yahweh your God. Yahweh your God has chosen you to be a people for his own possession, above all peoples who are on the face of the earth. 7Yahweh didn’t set his love on you, nor choose you, because you were more in number than any people; for you were the fewest of all peoples: 8but because Yahweh loves you, and because he desires to keep the oath which he swore to your fathers, Yahweh has brought you out with a mighty hand, and redeemed you out of the house of bondage, from the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt. 9Know therefore that Yahweh your God himself is God, the faithful God, who keeps covenant and loving kindness with them who love him and keep his commandments to a thousand generations, 10and repays those who hate him to their face, to destroy them. He will not be slack to him who hates him. He will repay him to his face. 11You shall therefore keep the commandments, the statutes, and the ordinances, which I command you this day, to do them. 12It shall happen, because you listen to these ordinances, and keep and do them, that Yahweh your God will keep with you the covenant and the loving kindness which he swore to your fathers. 13He will love you, bless you, multiply you. He will also bless the fruit of your body and the fruit of your ground, your grain and your new wine and your oil, the increase of your livestock and the young of your flock, in the land which he swore to your fathers to give you. 14You shall be blessed above all peoples. There shall not be male or female barren among you, or among your livestock. 15Yahweh will take away from you all sickness; and none of the evil diseases of Egypt, which you know, will he put on you, but will lay them on all those who hate you. 16You shall consume all the peoples whom Yahweh your God shall deliver to you. Your eye shall not pity them: neither shall you serve their gods; for that would be a snare to you. 17If you shall say in your heart, “These nations are more than I; how can I dispossess them?” 18you shall not be afraid of them. You shall remember well what Yahweh your God did to Pharaoh, and to all Egypt; 19the great trials which your eyes saw, the signs, the wonders, the mighty hand, and the outstretched arm, by which Yahweh your God brought you out. So shall Yahweh your God do to all the peoples of whom you are afraid. 20Moreover Yahweh your God will send the hornet among them, until those who are left, and hide themselves, perish from before you. 21You shall not be scared of them; for Yahweh your God is in your midst, a great and awesome God. 22Yahweh your God will cast out those nations before you little by little. You may not consume them at once, lest the animals of the field increase on you. 23But Yahweh your God will deliver them up before you, and will confuse them with a great confusion, until they are destroyed. 24He will deliver their kings into your hand, and you shall make their name perish from under the sky. No one will be able to stand before you, until you have destroyed them. 25You shall burn the engraved images of their gods with fire. You shall not covet the silver or the gold that is on them, nor take it for yourself, lest you be snared in it; for it is an abomination to Yahweh your God. 26You shall not bring an abomination into your house, and become a devoted thing like it. You shall utterly detest it, and you shall utterly abhor it; for it is a devoted thing.

1Wanneer u de HEERE, uw God, zal gebracht hebben in het land, waar gij naar toe gaat, om dat te erven; en Hij vele volken voor uw aangezicht zal hebben uitgeworpen, de Hethieten, en de Girgasieten, en de Amorieten, en de Kanaanieten, en de Ferezieten, en de Hevieten, en de Jebusieten, zeven volken, die meerder en machtiger zijn dan gij; 2En de HEERE, uw God, hen zal gegeven hebben voor uw aangezicht, dat gij ze slaat; zo zult gij hen ganselijk verbannen; gij zult geen verbond met hen maken, noch hun genadig zijn. 3Gij zult u ook met hen niet vermaagschappen; gij zult uw dochters niet geven aan hun zonen, en hun dochters niet nemen voor uw zonen. 4Want zij zouden uw zonen van Mij doen afwijken, dat zij andere goden zouden dienen; en de toorn des HEEREN zou tegen ulieden ontsteken, en u haast verdelgen. 5Maar alzo zult gij hun doen: hun altaren zult gij afwerpen, en hun opgerichte beelden verbreken, en hun bossen zult gij afhouwen, en hun gesnedene beelden met vuur verbranden. 6Want gij zijt een heilig volk den HEERE, uw God; u heeft de HEERE, uw God, verkoren, dat gij Hem tot een volk des eigendoms zoudt zijn uit alle volken, die op den aardbodem zijn. 7De HEERE heeft geen lust tot u gehad, noch u verkoren, om uw veelheid boven alle andere volken; want gij waart het weinigste van alle volken. 8Maar omdat de HEERE ulieden liefhad, en opdat Hij hield den eed, dien Hij uw vaderen gezworen had, heeft u de HEERE met een sterke hand uitgevoerd, en heeft u verlost uit het diensthuis, uit de hand van Farao, koning van Egypte. 9Gij zult dan weten, dat de HEERE, uw God, die God is, die getrouwe God, welke het verbond en de weldadigheid houdt dien, die Hem liefhebben, en Zijn geboden houden tot in duizend geslachten. 10En Hij vergeldt een ieder van hen, die Hem haten, in zijn aangezicht, om hem te verderven; Hij zal het Zijn hater niet vertrekken, in zijn aangezicht zal Hij het hem vergelden. 11Houdt dan de geboden, en de inzettingen, en de rechten, die ik u heden gebiede, om die te doen. 12Zo zal het geschieden, omdat gij deze rechten zult horen, en houden, en dezelve doen, dat de HEERE, uw God, u het verbond en de weldadigheid zal houden, die Hij uw vaderen gezworen heeft; 13En Hij zal u liefhebben, en zal u zegenen, en u doen vermenigvuldigen; en Hij zal zegenen de vrucht uws buiks, en de vrucht uws lands, uw koren, en uw most, en uw olie, de voortzetting uwer koeien, en de kudden van uw klein vee, in het land, dat Hij aan uw vaderen gezworen heeft u te geven. 14Gezegend zult gij zijn boven alle volken; er zal onder u noch man noch vrouw onvruchtbaar zijn, ook niet onder uw beesten; 15En de HEERE zal alle krankheid van u afweren, en Hij zal u geen van de kwade ziekten der Egyptenaren, die gij kent, opleggen, maar zal ze leggen op allen, die u haten. 16Gij zult dan al die volken verteren, die de HEERE, uw God, u geven zal; uw oog zal hen niet verschonen, en gij zult hun goden niet dienen; want dat zoude u een strik zijn. 17Zo gij in uw hart zeidet: Deze volken zijn meerder dan ik; hoe zou ik hen uit de bezitting kunnen verdrijven? 18Vreest niet voor hen; gedenkt steeds, wat de HEERE, uw God, aan Farao en aan alle Egyptenaren gedaan heeft; 19De grote verzoekingen, die uw ogen gezien hebben, en de tekenen, en de wonderen, en de sterke hand, en den uitgestrekten arm, door welken u de HEERE uw God, heeft uitgevoerd; alzo zal de HEERE, uw God, doen aan alle volken, voor welker aangezicht gij vreest. 20Daartoe zal de HEERE, uw God, ook horzelen onder hen zenden; totdat zij omkomen, die overgebleven, en voor uw aangezicht verborgen zijn. 21Ontzet u niet voor hunlieder aangezicht; want de HEERE, uw God, is in het midden van u, een groot en vreselijk God. 22En de HEERE, uw God, zal deze volken voor uw aangezicht allengskens uitwerpen; haastelijk zult gij hen niet mogen te niet doen, opdat het wild des velds niet tegen u vermenigvuldige. 23En de HEERE zal hen geven voor uw aangezicht, en Hij zal hen verschrikken met grote verschrikking, totdat zij verdelgd worden. 24Ook zal Hij hun koningen in uw hand geven, dat gij hun naam van onder den hemel te niet doet; geen man zal voor uw aangezicht bestaan, totdat gij hen zult hebben verdelgd. 25De gesneden beelden van hun goden zult gij met vuur verbranden; het zilver en goud, dat daaraan is, zult gij niet begeren, noch voor u nemen, opdat gij daardoor niet verstrikt wordt; want dat is den HEERE, uw God, een gruwel. 26Gij zult dan den gruwel in uw huis niet brengen, dat gij een ban zoudt worden, gelijk datzelve is; gij zult het ganselijk verfoeien, en te enenmaal een gruwel daarvan hebben, want het is een ban.
