最终的劝戒与嘱咐

The Final Exhortations and Charges
1读经：申命记31:1-13,24-29。在本篇信息中，我们要来看最后的劝戒与嘱咐。虽然摩西在前面的章节中说了许多事，但在三十一章，他这年迈的父亲因著关切他的儿女，仍有一些要说的。他是那么关切以色列人，以致一再的重复同样的事。
1Scripture Reading: Deut. 31:1-13, 24-29 In this message we will consider the final exhortations and charges. Although Moses had spoken so many things in the foregoing chapters, in chapter thirty- one he, as an elderly father concerned for his children, still had something more to say. Because he was so concerned for the children of Israel, he spoke some of the same things again and again
壹 摩西对百姓的劝戒
I. MOSES’ EXHORTATION TO THE PEOPLE
2三十一章一至六节记载了摩西对百
2In 31:1-6 we have Moses’ exhortation to the people
3姓的劝戒。
3
一 摩西把这些话告诉以色列众人
A. Moses Speaking These Words to All Israel
4这些经节里的话是对以色列众人说的。（申三一1。）
4The words Moses spoke in these verses were spoken to all Israel (v. 1
二 他对他们说，他现在一百二十岁，不能照常出入
B. Saying to Them That He Was a Hundred and Twenty Years Old and Could No Longer Go Out and Come In
5摩西告诉百姓说，他现在一百二十岁了，不能照常出入，耶和华也曾对他说，他必不得过约但河。（申三一2。）这是忧伤的话，因为摩西想要过约但河，但未获准。三耶和华他们的神必在他们前面过去，
5Moses told the people that he was a hundred and twenty years old and could no longer go out and come in, and that Jehovah had told him that he could not cross over the Jordan (v. 2). This was a sad word, for Moses wanted to cross over the Jordan but was not allowed to do so. C. Jehovah Their God Crossing Over before Them
将这些国的民在他们面前灭绝
and Destroying the Nations before Them
6在三节，摩西告诉以色列人，耶和华他们的神必在他们前面过去，将这些国的民在他们面前灭绝，他们就得著这些国的民。在这节里摩西也说到，约书亚必在他们前面过去，正如耶和华所说的。这里摩西的话表达了他心里对以色列人的关切。
6In verse 3 Moses told the children of Israel that it was Jehovah their God who was crossing over before them and who would destroy the nations before them, and they would dispossess the nations. In this verse Moses also said that Joshua was the one who was crossing over before them, as Jehovah had spoken. Moses’ word here was an expression of the concern in his heart for Israel
四 耶和华必待那些国的人，如同从前祂待西宏与噩，以及他们的地一样
D. Jehovah Doing to the Nations Even as He Did to Sihon and Og and to Their Land
7在四至五节摩西说，耶和华必待那些国的人，如同从前祂待西宏与噩，以及他们的地一样。祂必将列国交在以色列人面前。神胜过西宏与噩，乃是对祂百姓的保证：祂必打败迦南诸王，夺取他们的地，把地交给以色列人为产业。
7In verses 4 and 5 Moses said that Jehovah would do to the nations even as He did to Sihon and Og and to their land. He would deliver the nations up before the children of Israel. God’s victory over Sihon and Og was to be an assurance to the people that He would defeat all the kings in Canaan, take over their land, and give it to the children of Israel as their inheritance.
五 鼓励以色列人要刚强壮胆，不害怕，也不因这些国的人惊恐
E. Encouraging All Israel to Be Strong and Take Courage, to Fear Not, Neither to Be Terrified of the Nations
8至终在六节，摩西鼓励所有的以色列人要刚强壮胆，不害怕，也不因这些国的人惊恐，因为耶和华他们的神和他们同去；祂必不撇下他们，也不丢弃他们。
8Finally, in verse 6 Moses encouraged all Israel to be strong and take courage, to fear not, neither to be terrified of the nations, for Jehovah their God went with them and He would not fail them nor forsake them
贰 摩西对约书亚的劝戒
II. MOSES’ EXHORTATION TO JOSHUA
9七至八节是摩西对约书亚的劝戒。
9Verses 7 and 8 are Moses’ exhortation to Joshua
一 摩西召了约书亚来，在以色列众人眼前对他说话
A. Moses Calling Joshua and Speaking to Him in the Sight of All Israel
10摩西召了约书亚来，在以色列众人眼前对他说话。在对约书亚的劝戒中，摩西说，『你当刚强壮胆，因为你要和这百姓，一同进入耶和华向他们列祖起誓应许所赐之地，你也要使他们承受那地为业。』（申三一7。）
10Moses called Joshua and spoke to him in the sight of all Israel. In his exhortation to Joshua, Moses said, “Be strong and take courage, for you will go with this people into the land which Jehovah swore to their fathers to give to them; and you will cause them to inherit it” (v. 7
二 摩西告诉约书亚说，耶和华必在他前面行，必与他同在
B. Moses Telling Joshua That Jehovah Was Going before Him and Would Be with Him
11摩西也向约书亚保证说，耶和华必在他前面行，必与他同在。不仅如此，耶和华必不撇下他，也不丢弃他。（申三一8上。）因此，摩西对约书亚的劝戒总结于这个嘱咐：『不要惧怕，也不要惊慌。』（申三一8下。）
11Moses also assured Joshua that it was Jehovah who was going before him and that He would be with him. Furthermore, Jehovah would not fail him nor forsake him (v. 8a). Thus, Moses concluded his exhortation to Joshua with this charge: “Do not fear, neither be dismayed” (v. 8b
参 摩西对祭司利未子孙，
III. MOSES’ EXHORTATION TO THE PRIESTS
12和以色列众长老的劝戒九至十三节，二十四至二十九节，是摩西对祭司利未子孙，和以色列众长老的劝戒。
12THE SONS OF LEVI, AND TO THE ELDERS OF ISRAEL In verses 9 - 1 3 and 2 4 - 2 9 we have Moses ’ exhortation to the priests, the sons of Levi, and to the elders of Israel
一 摩西吩咐他们说，每七年的末一年，
A. Moses Commanding Them That at the End of Every Seven Years
13
13at the Year of Release, at the Feast of Tabernacles
就是在豁免年的时候，在住棚节，他们要在以色列众人面前宣读这律法
They Were to Read This Law before All Israel
14九节说，『摩西将这律法写出来，交给抬耶和华约柜的祭司利未子孙，和以色列的众长老。』摩西吩咐他们说，每七年的末一年，就在豁免年的时候，在住棚节，以色列众人要来到耶和华他们神所选择的地方朝见祂，那时他们要在以色列众人面前宣读这律法。（申三一10～11。）他们要招聚百姓，男、女、孩子、并城内寄居的，使他们听，使他们学习，好敬畏耶和华他们的神，遵行这律法的一切话。（申三一12。）他们要对他们的儿女这样作，使他们未曾晓得这律法的儿女，得以听见，在他们过约但河要去得的地上活著的日子，学习敬畏耶和华。（申三一13。）
14Verse 9 says, “Moses wrote this law and gave it to the priests, the sons of Levi, who bear the ark of the covenant of Jehovah, and to all the elders of Israel.” Moses commanded them that at the end of every seven years, at the year of release, at the Feast of Tabernacles, when all Israel would come together before Jehovah their God in the place which He would choose, they were to read this law before all Israel (vv. 10-11). They were to gather the people, the men, the women, the little ones, and the strangers with them, that they might hear, learn, and fear Jehovah their God and do all the words of this law (v. 12). They were to do this so that their children, who had not known these things, might hear and learn to fear Jehovah all the days that they would live upon the land into which they were crossing and which they would possess (v. 13).
二 摩西吩咐抬约柜的利未人，将这律法书放在约柜旁，可以在那里作见证，指责以色列人
B. Moses Charging the Levites Who Bore the Ark of the Covenant to Take This Book of the Law and Place It at the Side of the Ark, That It Might Be There as a Witness against Them
15摩西将这律法的话写在书上，及至写完了，就吩咐抬约柜的利未人，将这律法书放在约柜旁，可以在那里作见证，指责以色列人。（申三一24～26。）摩西这样嘱咐，因为他知道以色列人是悖逆的，是硬著颈项的。（申三一27上。）他还活著与以色列人同在的时候，他们尚且悖逆耶和华，何况在他死后！（申三一27下。）摩西在这里所说的话，是按著他对神子民深切的关怀。
15When Moses finished writing the words of this law in a book until they were completed, he charged the Levites who bore the ark of the covenant to take this book of the law and place it at the side of the ark, that it might be there as a witness against them (vv. 24-26). Moses gave this charge because he knew the rebelliousness of the children of Israel and their stiff neck (v. 27a). While he was yet alive with them, they had been rebelling against Jehovah. How much more would they rebel after his death (v. 27b)! Moses’ speaking here was according to his deep concern for God’sp eople
三 摩西将以色列支派的众长老和官长都招聚来，好将这些话说与他们听，并呼天唤地作见证指责他们
C. Moses Gathering to Him All the Elders of the Tribes and Their Officers That He Might Speak These Words and That He Might Call Heaven and Earth to Witness against Them
16摩西将以色列支派的众长老和官长都招聚来，好将这些话说与他们听，并呼天唤地作见证指责他们。（申三一28。）他知道在他死后，以色列人必全然败坏，偏离他所吩咐他们的道路。（申三一29上。）结果，因著他们行耶和华眼中看为恶的事，以所行的惹祂发怒，日后必有灾祸临到他们。（申三一29下。）摩西就要离开了，他的心放在以色列人身上，但他并不放心。摩西知道以色列人会背叛神，所以一再重复的嘱咐。他似乎对百姓说，『我对你们不放心，我对你们毫无信心。我活著的时候你们多次背叛，我担忧你们在我离开以后，会有更多的背叛。』至终，摩西对以色列人的担忧成为事实，因为不久之后，他们果然再次背叛。所以，摩西这位年迈父亲的忧虑是对的。
16Moses gathered to him all the elders of the tribes and their officers that he might speak these words and that he might call heaven and earth to witness against them (v. 28). He knew that after his death the children of Israel would utterly spoil themselves and turn away from the way that he had commanded them (v. 29a). As a result, evil would come upon them in the latter days, for they would do what was evil in the sight of Jehovah so as to anger Him by their undertakings (v. 29b). As Moses was about to depart, his heart was set on the children of Israel, but he was not at peace. Knowing that Israel would rebel against God, Moses repeated his charge again and again. He seemed to be saying to the people, “I do not have peace regarding you, and I do not have any trust in you. You rebelled many times while I was alive, and I am concerned that after I leave, you will rebel even more.” Eventually, what Moses felt regarding the children of Israel became the fact, for, not too long afterward, they rebelled once again. Therefore, Moses, the elderly father, was right in his concern.
17我们不要以为摩西的忧虑是太过了。他晓得以色列人天性是背叛的，且晓得背叛的元素就是他们里面的一部分。因著他们有背叛的天性，他们至终甚至会更背叛神。百姓无论从摩西、审判官、和祭司领受了多少教训，他们仍然跟从别神，敬拜偶像。他们甚至在殿里设立偶像。以色列人似乎变得比异教徒更差。不管他们接受了多少训练，他们还是一样，继续背叛。我们必须记得，对以色列人所描绘的，正是我们今日的光景。这幅图画给我们看见自己的所是。既然我们的天性和以色列人一样，对他们的暴露，也就是对我们的暴露。我们许多人已经在召会生活中多年；我们听了许多信息，也读了恢复本圣经。然而，我们一点也不该相信自己，因为我们有背叛的天性，背叛的所是。我们乃是由背叛构成的。因此，我们实在需要主的怜悯和恩典。
17We should not think that Moses’ concern was excessive. He knew that the children of Israel were rebellious in nature, that the element of rebellion was part of their very being. Because they had a rebellious nature, they would eventually rebel even more against God. No matter how much teaching the people received through Moses, the judges, and the priests, they still went after other gods and worshipped idols. They went so far as to set up idols in the temple. It seems that the children of Israel became more pagan than the pagans. Despite the fact that they received so much training, they remained the same and continued to rebel. We need to remember that what is portrayed regarding Israel is a picture of us today. This picture shows us what we are. Since we are the same in nature as the children of Israel, their exposure is also our exposure. Many of us have been in the church life for years; we have heard messages and have read the Recovery Version. However, we should not have any trust in ourselves, because we have a rebellious nature, a rebellious being. We are a constitution of rebellion. Therefore, we surely need the Lord’s mercy and grace
18现今我们可以了解，摩西在死以前不久，对以色列人是多么不放心。他最后的劝戒，实际上乃是他过去所说许多话的重复。他特别劝戒他们不要离弃耶和华他们的神，去随从别神。他似乎是在告诉他们，『不要忘记你们是甚么，也不要忘记耶和华你们的神向你们所要的。切记我对你们的嘱咐，和我对你们说过的话。这律法每七年要由祭司在你们面前重申一遍。在第七年，当你们享受住棚节的时候，必须听这律法书上的话。』今天我们都要看见，我们的天性和以色列人一样，所以一点不要相信自己。我们不该有任何确信，以为凭自己能彀站立并留在召会生活中。也许我们在早晨享受主，但过了几个小时之后，我们可能背叛祂。我们既无法保证自己能对主一直忠信，所以要不断的回到祂面前，吸入祂，将祂这话接受到我们的里面。
18Now we can understand that Moses, shortly before he was to die, was not at peace regarding the children of Israel. His final exhortation was actually a repetition of much that he had spoken before. In particular, he exhorted them not to turn away from Jehovah their God and go after other gods. He seemed to be telling them, “Do not forget what you are, and do not forget what Jehovah your God wants of you. Remember my charge to you and the word I have spoken to you. Every seven years this law should be repeated before you by the priests. In the seventh year, while you are enjoying the Feast of Tabernacles, you must listen to the words of this law.” Today we all need to realize that we are the same in nature as the children of Israel and should not have any trust in ourselves. We should not have any kind of assurance that, in ourselves, we are able to stand and remain in the church life. We may enjoy the Lord in the morning, but a few hours later we may rebel against Him. Since we do not have the guarantee that we can remain faithful to the Lord, let us constantly come back to Him and inhale Him, receiving Him as the word into our being.
