申命記 11
1 你應愛上主你的天主，天天遵守他的訓令、法律、規則和誡命。
“And you have loved your God YHWH, and kept His charge, and His statutes, and His judgments, and His commands, [for] all the days;
2 今天你們應知道：你們的子孫並沒有見過，也沒有經歷過上主你們天主的懲戒、偉大強力的手和伸展的臂，
and you have known today—for it is not your sons who have not known and who have not seen the discipline of your God YHWH, His greatness, His strong hand, and His outstretched arm;
3 以及他在埃及對埃及王法郎及其全國所行的神蹟和奇事；
and His signs and His doings which He has done in the midst of Egypt, to Pharaoh king of Egypt and to all his land;
4 他如何對待了埃及的軍隊、戰馬和車輛；當他們追趕你們時，上主怎樣使紅海的水淹沒了他們，將他們消滅，直到今日；
and that which He has done to the force of Egypt, to its horses, and to its chariot, when He has caused the waters of the Red Sea to flow against their faces in their pursuing after them, and YHWH destroys them, to this day;
5 並且在曠野裏給你們作了什麼，直到你們來到此地；
and that which He has done to you in the wilderness until your coming to this place;
6 他怎樣對待了勒烏本的後裔厄里雅布的兒子達堂和阿彼蘭，地怎樣裂開了口，在全以色列中間吞沒了他們同他們的眷屬，帳棚以及屬他們的一切；
and that which He has done to Dathan and to Abiram, sons of Eliab, sons of Reuben, when the earth has opened her mouth and swallows them, and their houses, and their tents, and all that lives which is at their feet, in the midst of all Israel—
7 而且你們親眼見過上主所做的一切偉大作為。
but [it is] your eyes which are seeing all the great work of YHWH which He has done.
8 所以你們應該遵守我今日吩咐你們的一切誡命，好能有力量去佔領你們過河要去佔領的地方，
And you have kept all the command which I am commanding you today, so that you are strong, and have gone in, and possessed the land to where you are passing over to possess it,
9 並在上主向你們祖先誓許要給他們和他們後裔的地方，即流奶流蜜的地方，得享長壽。
and so that you prolong days on the ground which YHWH has sworn to your fathers to give to them and to their seed—a land flowing with milk and honey.
10 因為你要去佔領的地方，不像你們出來的埃及地，在那裏你撒了種，還要用腳灌溉，像灌溉菜園一樣；
For the land to where you are going in to possess it is not as the land of Egypt from where you have come out, where you sow your seed and have watered with your foot, as a garden of the green herb;
11 但你們過河去佔領的地方，卻是一個有山有谷，有天上的雨水所滋潤的地方，
but the land to where you are passing over to possess it [is] a land of hills and valleys—it drinks water of the rain of the heavens—
12 是上主你的天主自己照管的地方，是上主你的天主，自年首至年尾，時常注目眷視的地方。
a land which your God YHWH is searching; the eyes of your God YHWH [are] continually on it, from the beginning of the year even to the latter end of the year.
13 如果你們真聽從我今日吩咐你們的誡命，愛上主你們的天主，全心全靈事奉他，
And it has been, if you listen diligently to My commands which I am commanding you today, to love your God YHWH, and to serve Him with all your heart and with all your soul,
14 他必按時給你們的土地降下時雨，秋雨和春雨；必使你豐收五穀、新酒和新油；
then I have given the rain of your land in its season—autumn rain and spring rain—and you have gathered your grain, and your new wine, and your oil,
15 也必使田野給你的牲畜生出青草；如此你必能吃飽。
and I have given herbs in your field for your livestock, and you have eaten and been satisfied.
16 你們應謹慎，免得你們的心受迷惑，離棄正道，去事奉敬拜其他的神，
Take heed to yourselves lest your heart be enticed, and you have turned aside, and served other gods, and bowed yourselves to them,
17 叫上主對你們發怒，使蒼天封閉，雨不下降，地不生產，你們必由上主賜給你們的肥美土地上迅速滅亡。
and the anger of YHWH has burned against you, and He has restrained the heavens and there is no rain, and the ground does not give her increase, and you have perished quickly from off the good land which YHWH is giving to you.
18 你們應將我這些話銘刻在你們的心靈上，繫在你們的手上，當作標記；懸在你們的額上，當作徽號。
And you have placed these words of mine on your heart and on your soul, and have bound them for a sign on your hand, and they have been for frontlets between your eyes;
19 應將這些話教給你們的子孫，不論住在家裏，或在路上行走，或臥或立，不斷地講述；
and you have taught them to your sons by speaking of them in your sitting in your house, and in your going in the way, and in your lying down, and in your rising up,
20 還應刻在你房屋的門框和門扇上，
and have written them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates,
21 好使你們和你們子孫的歲月，在上主誓許給你們祖先的土地上，如天覆地之久長。
so that your days are multiplied, and the days of your sons, on the ground which YHWH has sworn to your fathers to give to them, as the days of the heavens above the earth.
22 如果你們謹慎遵守我吩咐你們遵行的這一切誡命，愛上主你們的天主，履行他的一切道路．一心依賴他，
For if you diligently keep all this command which I am commanding you to do—to love your God YHWH, to walk in all His ways, and to cleave to Him—
23 上主必由你們面前將這一切民族驅逐，使你們能征服比你們更強大的民族。
then YHWH has dispossessed all these nations from before you, and you have possessed nations greater and mightier than you.
24 凡你們的腳掌所踏之地，都必成為你們的；由曠野直到黎巴嫩，由大河，即幼發拉的河直到西海，是你們的疆界。
Every place on which the sole of your foot treads is yours: from the wilderness and Lebanon, from the river, the Euphrates River, even to the Western Sea, is your border.
25 沒有人能對抗你們，上主你們的天主必照他對你們所許的，將害怕和畏懼你們的心情，散佈在你們所要踏進的地面。
No man stations himself in your presence; your God YHWH puts your dread and your fear on the face of all the land on which you tread, as He has spoken to you.
26 你看，我今天將祝福和詛咒，擺在你們面前：
See, today I am setting before you a blessing and a reviling:
27 如果你們聽從上主你們天主的誡命，就是我今天吩咐你們的，你們必蒙祝福；
the blessing when you listen to the commands of your God YHWH which I am commanding you today;
28 如果你們不聽從上主你們天主的誡命，離棄我今天吩咐你們的道路，去跟隨你們素不相識的其他神祇，必遭詛咒。
and the reviling if you do not listen to the commands of your God YHWH, and have turned aside from the way which I am commanding you today, to go after other gods which you have not known.
29 幾時上主你的天主領你進入你要去佔領的地方，你應在革黎斤山上宣佈祝福，在厄巴耳山上宣佈詛咒。──
And it has been, when your God YHWH brings you into the land to where you are going in to possess it, that you have given the blessing on Mount Gerizim and the reviling on Mount Ebal;
30 這兩座位於約但河西，日落之處，在居於阿辣巴荒野的客納罕人的境內，與基耳加耳相對，靠近摩勒橡樹。
are they not beyond the Jordan, behind the way of the going in of the sun, in the land of the Canaanite who is dwelling in the plain opposite Gilgal, near the oaks of Moreh?
31 你們就快要過約但河，去佔領上主你們的天主賜給你們的土地。當你們佔領了那地，居住在那裏時，
For you are passing over the Jordan to go in to possess the land which your God YHWH is giving to you; and you have possessed it, and dwelt in it,
32 你們應謹慎遵行我今天在你們面前所頒佈的一切法令和規則。
and observed to do all the statutes and the judgments which I am setting before you today.”
