申命記 11
1 「你要愛耶和華－你的上帝，常守他的吩咐、律例、典章、誡命。
Therefore you shall love the Lord your God, and shall observe his appointments, and his ordinances, and his commandments, and his judgements, always.
2 你們今日當知道，我本不是和你們的兒女說話；因為他們不知道，也沒有看見耶和華－你們上帝的管教、威嚴、大能的手，和伸出來的膀臂，
And you shall know this day; for [I speak] not to your children, who know not and have not seen the discipline of the Lord your God, and his wonderful works, and his strong hand, and his high arm,
3 並他在埃及中向埃及王法老和其全地所行的神蹟奇事；
and his miracles, and his wonders, which he wrought in the midst of Egypt on Pharao king of Egypt, and all his land;
4 也沒有看見他怎樣待埃及的軍兵、車馬，他們追趕你們的時候，耶和華怎樣使紅海的水淹沒他們，將他們滅絕，直到今日，
and what he did to the host of the Egyptians, and to their chariots, and their cavalry, and their host; how he made the water of the Red Sea to overwhelm the face of them as they pursued after you, and the Lord destroyed them until this day;
5 並他在曠野怎樣待你們，以致你們來到這地方；
and all the things which he did to you in the wilderness until you came into this place;
6 也沒有看見他怎樣待呂便子孫以利押的兒子大坍、亞比蘭，地怎樣在以色列人中間開口，吞了他們和他們的家眷，並帳棚與跟他們的一切活物。
and all the things that he did to Dathan and Abiron the sons of Eliab the son of Ruben, whom the earth opening her mouth swallowed up, and their houses, and their tents, and all their substance that was with them, in the midst of all Israel:
7 惟有你們親眼看見耶和華所做的一切大事。」
for your eyes have seen all the mighty works of the Lord, which he wrought amongst you today.
8 「所以，你們要守我今日所吩咐的一切誡命，使你們膽壯，能以進去，得你們所要得的那地，
And you shall keep all his commandments, as many as I command you today, that you may live, and be multiplied, and that you may go in and inherit the land, into which you go across Jordan to inherit it:
9 並使你們的日子在耶和華向你們列祖起誓、應許給他們和他們後裔的地上得以長久；那是流奶與蜜之地。
that you may live long upon the land, which the Lord sware to your fathers to give to them, and to their seed after them, a land flowing with milk and honey.
10 你要進去得為業的那地，本不像你出來的埃及地。你在那裏撒種，用腳澆灌，像澆灌菜園一樣。
For the land into which you go to inherit it, is not as the land of Egypt, whence you came out, whenever they sow the seed, and water it with their feet, as a garden of herbs:
11 你們要過去得為業的那地乃是有山有谷、雨水滋潤之地，
but the land into which you go to inherit it, is a land of mountains and plains; it shall drink water of the rain of heaven.
12 是耶和華－你上帝所眷顧的；從歲首到年終，耶和華－你上帝的眼目時常看顧那地。
A land which the Lord your God surveys continually, the eyes of the Lord your God are upon it from the beginning of the year to the end of the year.
13 「你們若留意聽從我今日所吩咐的誡命，愛耶和華－你們的上帝，盡心盡性事奉他，
Now if you will indeed listen to all the commands which I charge you this day, to love the Lord your God, and to serve him with all your heart, and with all your soul,
14 他必按時降秋雨春雨在你們的地上，使你們可以收藏五穀、新酒，和油，
then he shall give to your land the early and latter rain in its season, and you shall bring in your corn, and your wine, and your oil.
15 也必使你吃得飽足，並使田野為你的牲畜長草。
And he shall give food in your fields to your cattle; and when you have eaten and are full,
16 你們要謹慎，免得心中受迷惑，就偏離正路，去事奉敬拜別神。
take heed to yourself that your heart be not puffed up, and you transgress, and serve other gods, and worship them:
17 耶和華的怒氣向你們發作，就使天閉塞不下雨，地也不出產，使你們在耶和華所賜給你們的美地上速速滅亡。
and the Lord be angry with you, and restrain the heaven; and there shall not be rain, and the earth shall not yield its fruit, and you shall perish quickly from off the good land, which the Lord has given you.
18 「你們要將我這話存在心內，留在意中，繫在手上為記號，戴在額上為經文；
And you shall store these words in your heart and in your soul, and you shall bind them as a sign on your hand, and it shall be fixed before your eyes.
19 也要教訓你們的兒女，無論坐在家裏，行在路上，躺下，起來，都要談論；
And you shall teach them to your children, so as to speak about them when you sit in the house, and when you walk by the way, and when you sleep, and when you rise up.
20 又要寫在房屋的門框上，並城門上，
And you shall write them on the lintels of your houses, and on your gates;
21 使你們和你們子孫的日子在耶和華向你們列祖起誓、應許給他們的地上得以增多，如天覆地的日子那樣多。
that your days may be long, and the days of your children, upon the land which the Lord sware to your fathers to give to them, as the days of heaven upon the earth.
22 你們若留意謹守遵行我所吩咐這一切的誡命，愛耶和華－你們的上帝，行他的道，專靠他，
And it shall come to pass that if you will indeed listen to all these commands, which I charge you to observe this day, to love the Lord our God, and to walk in all his ways, and to cleave close to him;
23 他必從你們面前趕出這一切國民，就是比你們更大更強的國民，你們也要得他們的地。
then the Lord shall cast out all these nations before you, and you shall inherit great nations and stronger than yourselves.
24 凡你們腳掌所踏之地都必歸你們；從曠野和黎巴嫩，並幼發拉底大河，直到西海，都要作你們的境界。
Every place whereon the sole of your foot shall tread shall be your; from the wilderness and Antilibanus, and from the great river, the river Euphrates, even as far as the west sea shall be your coasts.
25 必無一人能在你們面前站立得住；耶和華－你們的上帝必照他所說的，使懼怕驚恐臨到你們所踏之地的居民。
No one shall stand before you; and the Lord your God will put the fear of you and the dread of you on the face of all the land, on which you shall tread, as he told you.
26 「看哪，我今日將祝福與咒詛的話都陳明在你們面前。
Behold, I set before you this day the blessing and the curse;
27 你們若聽從耶和華－你們上帝的誡命，就是我今日所吩咐你們的，就必蒙福。
the blessing, if you listen to the commands of the Lord your God, all that I command you this day;
28 你們若不聽從耶和華－你們上帝的誡命，偏離我今日所吩咐你們的道，去事奉你們素來所不認識的別神，就必受禍。
and the curse, if you do not listen to the commands of the Lord our God, as many as I command you this day, and you wander from the way which I have commanded you, having gone to serve other gods, which you know not.
29 及至耶和華－你的上帝領你進入要去得為業的那地，你就要將祝福的話陳明在基利心山上，將咒詛的話陳明在以巴路山上。
And it shall come to pass when the Lord your God shall have brought you into the land into which you go over to inherit it, then you shall put blessing on mount Garizin, and the curse upon mount Gaebal.
30 這二山豈不是在約旦河那邊，日落之處，在住亞拉巴的迦南人之地與吉甲相對，靠近摩利橡樹嗎？
Behold! are not these beyond Jordan, behind, westward in the land of Chanaan, which lies westward near Golgol, by the high oak?
31 你們要過約旦河，進去得耶和華－你們上帝所賜你們為業之地，在那地居住。
For you are passing over Jordan, to go in and inherit the land, which the Lord our God gives you to inherit always, and you shall dwell in it.
32 你們要謹守遵行我今日在你們面前所陳明的一切律例典章。」
And you shall take heed to do all his ordinances, and these judgements, as many as I set before you today.
