申命記 6
1 以下是上主你們的天主吩咐我教給你們的誡命、法令和規則，叫你們在過河後去佔領的地內遵行，
'And this [is] the command, the statutes and the judgments which Jehovah your God hath commanded to teach you, to do in the land which ye are passing over thither to possess it,
2 好使你和你的子子孫孫，終生日日敬畏上主你的天主，遵守我吩咐你的一切法令和誡命，使你獲享長壽。
so that thou dost fear Jehovah thy God, to keep all His statutes and His commands, which I am commanding thee, thou, and thy son, and thy son's son, all days of thy life, and so that thy days are prolonged.
3 以色列! 你要聽，且謹守遵行，好使你在流奶流蜜的地方，獲得幸福，人數增多，如上主你祖先的天主所許給你的。
'And thou hast heard, O Israel, and observed to do, that it may be well with thee, and that thou mayest multiply exceedingly, as Jehovah, God of thy fathers, hath spoken to thee, [in] the land flowing with milk and honey.
4 以色列! 你要聽：上主我們的天主，是唯一的上主。
'Hear, O Israel, Jehovah our God [is] one Jehovah;
5 你當全心、全靈、全力，愛上主你的天主。
and thou hast loved Jehovah thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might,
6 我今天吩咐你的這些話，你應牢記在心，
and these words which I am commanding thee to-day have been on thine heart,
7 並將這些話灌輸給你的子女。不論你住在家裏，或在路上行走，或臥或立，常應講論這些話；
and thou hast repeated them to thy sons, and spoken of them in thy sitting in thine house, and in thy walking in the way, and in thy lying down, and in thy rising up,
8 又該繫在你的手上，當作標記；懸在額上，當作徽號；
and hast bound them for a sign upon thy hand, and they have been for frontlets between thine eyes,
9 刻在你住宅的門框上和門扇上。
and thou hast written them on door-posts of thy house, and on thy gates.
10 上主你的天主，幾時領你進入他向你的祖先亞巴郎、依撒格和雅各伯起誓，要賜給你的地方，那裏有高大壯觀的城邑，而不是你所建造的；
'And it hath been, when Jehovah thy God doth bring thee in unto the land which He hath sworn to thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give to thee — cities great and good, which thou hast not built,
11 有充滿各樣寶物的住宅，而不是你裝滿的；有蓄水池，而不是你挖掘的；有葡萄園和橄欖樹林，而不是你栽植的；──當你吃飽時，
and houses full of all good things which thou hast not filled, and wells digged which thou hast not digged, vineyards and olive-yards which thou hast not planted, and thou hast eaten, and been satisfied;
12 你應留心，不要忘了領你由埃及地，為奴之家，出來的上主。
'Take heed to thyself lest thou forget Jehovah who hath brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of a house of servants;
13 你要敬畏上主你的天主，只事奉他，只以他的名起誓。
Jehovah thy God thou dost fear, and Him thou dost serve, and by His name thou dost swear;
14 不可追隨別的神，即你們四周民族的神，
ye do not go after other gods, of the gods of the peoples who [are] round about you;
15 因為在你中間的上主你的天主，是忌邪的天主，免得上主你的天主發怒，將你由地上消滅。
for a zealous God [is] Jehovah thy God in thy midst — lest the anger of Jehovah thy God burn against thee, and He hath destroyed thee from off the face of the ground.
16 你們不可試探上主你們的天主，如同在瑪撒試探了他一樣。
'Ye do not try Jehovah your God as ye tried in Massah;
17 應謹慎遵守上主你們天主所吩咐你的誡命、教訓和法令。
ye do diligently keep the commands of Jehovah your God, and His testimonies, and His statutes which He hath commanded thee,
18 應做上主眼中視為正義和美善的事，使你能獲得幸福，能去佔領上主誓許與你祖先的那塊肥美的土地，
and thou hast done that which is right and good in the eyes of Jehovah, so that it is well with thee, and thou hast gone in and possessed the good land which Jehovah hath sworn to thy fathers,
19 能由你面前驅逐你的一切仇敵，如上主所應許的。
to drive away all thine enemies from thy presence, as Jehovah hath spoken.
20 假使日後你的兒子問你說：「上主我們的天主吩咐你們的這些教訓、法令和規則，究竟有什麼意思﹖」
'When thy son asketh thee hereafter, saying, What [are] the testimonies, and the statutes, and the judgments, which Jehovah our God hath commanded you?
21 你應對你的兒子說：我們曾在埃及作過法郎的奴隸，上主卻以大能的手將我們由埃及領了出來。
then thou hast said to thy son, Servants we have been to Pharaoh in Egypt, and Jehovah bringeth us out of Egypt by a high hand;
22 上主在我們的眼前，對埃及，對法郎和他全家，行了轟轟烈烈的神蹟和奇事；
and Jehovah giveth signs and wonders, great and sad, on Egypt, on Pharaoh, and on all his house, before our eyes;
23 將我們從那裏領出來，領我們進入他誓許給我們的祖先，要賜給我們的土地。
and us He hath brought out thence, in order to bring us in, to give to us the land which He had sworn to our fathers.
24 那時，上主吩咐我們遵行這一切法令，為敬畏上主我們的天主，為使我們時時得享幸福，得保生命，就如今日一樣。
And Jehovah commandeth us to do all these statutes, to fear Jehovah our God, for good to ourselves all the days, to keep us alive, as [at] this day;
25 我們在上主我們的天主面前，照他所吩咐我們的，謹慎遵行這一切誡命，就是我們的義德。
and righteousness it is for us, when we observe to do all this command before Jehovah our God, as He hath commanded us.
