申命記 8
1 我今日吩咐你的一切誡命，你們應謹守遵行，好使你們生存，人數增多，能去佔領上主向你們的祖先所誓許的地方。
Be thou war diligentli, that thou do ech comaundement which Y comaunde to thee to dai, that ye moun lyue, and be multiplied, and that ye entre, and welde the lond, for which the Lord swoor to youre fadris.
2 你當記念上主你的天主使你這四十年在曠野中所走的路程，是為磨難你，試探你，願知道你的心懷，是否願遵守他的誡命。
And thou schalt haue mynde of al the weie, bi which thi Lord God ledde thee by fourti yeer, bi deseert, that he schulde turmente, and schulde tempte thee; and that tho thingis that weren tretid in `thi soule schulden be knowun, whether thou woldist kepe hise comaundementis, ethir nay.
3 他磨難了你，使你感到饑餓，卻以你和你祖先所不認識的「瑪納，」養育了你，叫你知道人生活不但靠食物，而且也靠上主口中所發的一切言語生活。
And he turmentide thee with nedynesse, and he yaf to thee meete, manna which thou knewist not, and thi fadris `knewen not, that he schulde schewe to thee, that a man lyueth not in breed aloone, but in ech word that cometh `out of the Lordis mouth, `that is, bi manna, that cam down `at the heest of the Lord.
4 這四十年來，你身上的衣服沒有穿破，你的腳也沒有腫。
Thi cloth, bi which thou were hilid, failide not for eldnesse, and thi foot was not brokun undernethe, lo!
5 為此，你要明瞭：上主你的天主管教你，如人管教自己的兒子一樣；
the fourtith yeer is; that thou thenke in thin herte, for as a man techith his sone,
6 所以你當謹守上主你天主的誡命，遵行他的道路，敬畏他。
so thi Lord God tauyte thee, that thou kepe the comaundementis of thi Lord God, and go in hise weies, and drede hym.
7 因為上主你的天主快要領你進入肥美的土地，那裏有溪流，有泉水，有深淵之水由谷中和山中流出；
For thi Lord God schal lede thee in to a good lond, in to the lond of ryueris, and of `stondynge watris, and of wellis, in whos feeldis and mounteyns the depthis of floodis breken out;
8 那地出產小麥、大麥、葡萄、無花果和石榴；那地出產橄欖、油和蜂蜜；
in to the lond of wheete, of barli, and of vyneris, in which lond fige trees, and pumgranadis, and `olyue trees comen forth; in to the lond of oile, and of hony;
9 在那地你決不缺糧吃，在那裏你將一無所缺；那地方的石頭是鐵，由山中可以採銅。
where thow schalt ete thi breed with out nedynesse, and schalt vse the aboundaunce of alle thingis; of which lond the stonys ben yrun, and metals of tyn ben diggid of the hillis therof;
10 幾時你吃飽了，應感謝上主你的天主，因為是他賜給你這樣肥美的土地。
that whanne thou hast ete, and art fillid, thou blesse thi Lord God for the beste lond which he yaf to thee.
11 你應小心，別忘記上主你的天主，而不遵守我今天吩咐你的誡命、規則和法令。
Therfor kepe thou, and be war, lest ony tyme thou foryete thi Lord God, and dispise hise comaundementis, and domes, and cerymonyes, whiche Y comaunde to thee to dai;
12 當你吃飽了，建造了華美房屋居住，
lest aftir that thou hast ete, and art fillid, hast bildid faire housis, and hast dwellid in tho,
13 牛群羊群加多，金銀增加，你所有的一切都增加了，
and hast droues of oxun, and flockis of scheep, and plente of siluer, and of gold, and of alle thingis, thine herte be reisid,
14 你要小心，不要心高氣傲，以致忘記了由埃及地，由為奴之家，領你出來的上主你的天主，
and thenke not on thi Lord God, that ledde thee out of the lond of Egipt, and fro the hous of seruage,
15 是他領你經過了遼闊可怖，有火蛇蝎子的曠野，經過了乾旱無水之地；是他使水由堅硬的磐石中為你流出，
and was thi ledere in the greet wildirnesse and ferdful, in which was a serpent brenninge with blast, and scorpioun, and dipsas, and outirli no `watris; which Lord ledde out stremes of the hardeste stoon,
16 是他在曠野內，以你祖先不認識的「瑪納」養育了你；他這樣磨難你，試探你，終究是為使你獲得幸福。
and fedde thee with manna in the wildirnesse, which manna thi fadris knewen not. And after that the Lord turmentid thee, and preuede, at the last he hadd mersi on thee,
17 你心裏不要想：「這是我的力量，我手臂的能力，給我造就了這樣的財富。」
lest thou woldist seie in thin herte, My strengthe, and the myyt of myn hond yaf alle these thingis to me.
18 你應記得上主你的天主，因為是他賜給你得財富的能力，為實踐他對你祖先起誓訂立的盟約，就如今日一樣。
But thenke thou on thi Lord God, that he yaf strengthis to thee, that he schulde fille his couenaunt, of whiche he swoor to thi fadris, as present dai schewith.
19 如果你真忘記了上主你的天主，而隨從別的神，奉事敬拜他們，我今日對你們作證：你們必要滅亡，
Forsothe if thou foryetist thi Lord God, and suest aliene goddis, and worschipist hem `in herte, and onourist `with outforth, lo! now Y biforseie to thee, that thou schalt perische outerli;
20 上主怎樣由你們面前毀滅了那些民族，你們也要怎樣遭受毀滅，因為你們沒有聽從上主你們天主的聲音。
as hethen men perischiden, whiche the Lord dide awei in thin entryng, so and ye schulen perische, if ye schulen be vnobedient to the vois of youre Lord God.
