< 申命記 30 >
1 幾時這一切事,就是我在你面前提出的祝福和詛咒,來到你身上,而你在上主你的天主驅逐你去的異族中,回心轉意,
Therfor whanne alle these wordis comen on thee, blessyng ether cursing, which Y settide forth in thi siyt, and thou art led bi repentaunce of thin herte among alle folkis, in to whiche thi Lord God hath scaterid thee,
2 你和你的子孫全心全靈歸向上主你的天主,全照我今天吩咐你的,聽從他的話,
and turnest ayen to hym, and obeiest to hise comaundementis, as Y comaundide to thee to dai, with thi sones, in al thin herte and in al thi soule,
3 那麼,上主你的天主必轉變你的命運,憐憫你;上主你的天主必從分散你去的各民族中,再召集你回來;
thi Lord God schal lede thee ayen fro thi caitifte, and schal haue mercy on thee, and eft he schal gadre thee from alle puplis, in to whiche he scateride the bifore.
4 即便被放逐的人遠在天涯,上主你的天主也要從那裏召回,將你從那裏領回來。
If thou art scaterid to the endis of heuene, fro thennus thi Lord God schal withdrawe thee;
5 上主你的天主必領你進入你祖先所佔領的土地,叫你再佔領;也必使你比你的祖先更幸福,更眾多。
and he schal take and schal bringe thee in to the lond which thi fadris weldiden; and thou schalt holde it, and he schal blesse thee, and schal make thee to be of more noumbre than thi fadris weren.
6 那時,上主你的天主必在你的心上,和你後裔的心上行割損,叫你全心全靈愛慕上主你的天主,使你得以生存。
Thi Lord God schal circumcide thin herte, and the herte of thi seed, that thou loue thi Lord God in al thin herte and in al thi soule, and maist liue.
7 上主你的天主必將這一切詛咒,加在迫害你的仇人和敵人身上。
Forsothe the Lord schal turne alle these cursyngis on thin enemyes, and on hem that haten and pursuen thee.
8 從此,你必再聽從上主的話,遵行我今天吩咐你的一切誡命。
Sotheli thou schalt turne ayen, and schalt here the vois of thi Lord God, and schalt do alle the heestis whiche Y comaunde to thee to dai;
9 上主你的天主必使你做的一切事,你身所生的、牲畜所出的、田地所產的,都順利興旺,因為上主要再喜歡你,使你享福,如他以前喜歡你的祖先一樣,
and thi Lord God schal make thee to be plenteuouse, in alle the workis of thin hondis, in the children of thi wombe, and in the fruyt of thi beestis, in abundaunce of thi lond, and in largenesse of alle thingis. For the Lord schal turne ayen, that he haue ioye on thee in alle goodis, as he ioyede in thi fadris;
10 只要你聽從上主你天主的話,謹守這法律書上所記載的誡命和法令;只要你全心全靈回頭,歸向上主你的天主。
if netheles thou herist the voys of thi Lord God, and kepist hise heestis and cerymonys, that ben writun in this lawe, and thou turne ayen to thi Lord God in al thin herte, and in al thi soule.
11 其實,我今天吩咐你的這誡命,為你並不太難,也不是達不到的。
This comaundement whiche Y comaunde to thee to day,
12 這誡命不在天上,以致你能說:「誰能為我們上到天上,給我們取下,使我們聽了好能遵行呢﹖」
is not aboue thee, nethir is set fer, nethir is set in heuene, that thou maist seie, Who of vs may stie to heuene, that he brynge it to vs, and we here, and fille in werk?
13 也不在海外,以致你能說:「誰能為我們渡到海外,給我們取來,使我們聽了好能遵行呢﹖」
nether it is set biyende the see, `that thou pleyne, and seye, Who of vs may passe ouer the see, and brynge it til to vs, that we moun here and do that that is comaundid?
14 其實,這話離你很近,就在你口裏,就在你心裏,使你遵行。
But the word is ful nyy thee, in thi mouth and in thin herte, that thou do it.
15 你看,我今天將生命與幸福,死亡與災禍,都擺在你面前,
Biholde thou, that to day Y haue set forth in thi siyt lijf and good, and ayenward deeth and yuel;
16 如果你遵行我今天吩咐你的,上主你天主的誡命:愛慕上主你的天主,履行他的道路,謹守他的誡命、法令和規定,你必能生活繁榮,上主你的天主在要去佔領的地上,必要祝福你。
that thou loue thi Lord God, and go in hise weies, and kepe hise heestis, and cerymonyes, and domes; and that thou lyue, and he multiplie thee, and blesse thee in the lond to which thou schalt entre to welde.
17 但是,如果你心中叛離,不願聽從,被人引去敬拜事奉其他的神,
But if thin herte is turned awey, and thou nylt here, and thou art disseyued bi errour, and worschipist alien goddis,
18 我今天警告你們:你們必要滅亡,在你渡過約但河去佔領的土地上,決不能久存。
and seruest hem, Y biforseie to thee to dai, that thou schalt perische, and schalt dwelle litil tyme in the lond to which thou schalt entre to welde, whanne thou schalt passe Jordan.
19 我今天指著天地向你們作證:我已將生命與死亡,祝福與詛咒,都擺在你面前;你要選擇生命,為叫你和你的後裔得以生存;
Y clepe to day heuene and erthe witnesses, that is, aungels and men, that Y haue set forth to you lijf and deeth, good and yuel, blessyng and cursyng; therfor chese thou lijf, that bothe thou lyue and thi seed,
20 你應愛慕上主你的天主,聽從他的話,完全依賴他;因為這樣你纔能生活,纔能久存,纔能住在上主向你的祖先亞巴郎、依撒格和雅各伯誓許要給他們的土地上。
and that thou loue thi Lord God, and obeie to his vois, and cleue to hym, for he is thi lijf, and the lengthe of thi daies; that thou dwelle in the lond, for which the Lord swoor to thi fadris, to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, that he schulde yyue it to hem.
