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 thou shalt loue the Lord thy God, and shalt keepe that, which he commandeth to be kept: that is, his ordinances, and his lawes, and his commandements alway.
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 consider this day (for I speake not to your children, which haue neither knowen nor seene) the chastisement of the Lord your God, his greatnesse, his mighty hande, and his stretched out arme,
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 signes, and his actes, which hee did in the middes of Egypt vnto Pharaoh the King of Egypt and vnto 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 vnto the hoste of the Egyptians, vnto their horses, and to their charets, when he caused the waters of the red Sea to ouerflowe them, as they pursued after you, and the Lord destroied them vnto this day:
5 並他在曠野怎樣待你們，以致你們來到這地方；
And what he did vnto you in the wildernesse, vntill yee came vnto 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 what he did vnto Dathan and Abiram the sonnes of Eliab ye sonne of Reuben, when the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed them with their housholds and their tents, and all their substance that they had in the middes of al Israel.
7 惟有你們親眼看見耶和華所做的一切大事。」
For your eyes haue seene all the great actes of the Lord which he did.
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，
Therefore shall ye keepe all the commandements, which I commaund you this day, that ye may be strong, and go in and possesse the land whither ye goe to possesse 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。
Also that ye may prolong your daies in the land, which the Lord sware vnto your fathers, to giue vnto them and to their seede, euen a lande that floweth with milke and honie.
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 whither thou goest to possesse it, is not as the lande of Egypt, from whence ye came, where thou sowedst thy seede, and wateredst it with thy feete as a garden of herbes:
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 whither ye goe to possesse it, is a land of mountaines and valleis, and drinketh water of the raine of heauen.
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。
This land doth the Lord thy God care for: the eies of the Lord thy God are alwaies vpon it, from the beginning of the yeere, euen vnto the ende of the yeere.
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，
If yee shall hearken therefore vnto my commandements, which I commaund you this day, that yee loue the Lord your God and serue him with all your heart, and with all your soule,
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，
I also wil giue raine vnto your land in due time, the first raine and the latter, that thou maist gather in thy wheat, and thy wine, and thine oyle.
15 也必使你吃得飽足，並使田野為你的牲畜長草。
Also I will send grasse in thy fieldes, for thy cattel, that thou maist eate, and haue inough.
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。
But beware lest your heart deceiue you, and lest yee turne aside, and serue 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 so the anger of the Lord be kindled against you, and he shut vp the heauen, that there be no raine, and that your lande yeelde not her fruit, and yee perish quickly from the good land, which the Lord giueth 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；
Therefore shall ye lay vp these my words in your heart and in your soule, and binde them for a signe vpon your hand, that they may be as a frontlet betweene 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 ye shall teach them your children, speaking of them, whe thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest downe, and when thou risest vp.
20 又要寫在房屋的門框上，並城門上，
And thou shalt write them vpon the postes of thine house, and vpon thy 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 daies may be multiplied, and the daies of your children, in ye land which the Lord sware vnto your fathers to giue them, as long as the heauens are aboue 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，
For if ye keepe diligently all these commandements, which I command you to doe: that is, to loue the Lord your God, to walke in all his waies, and to cleaue vnto 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 will the Lord cast out all these nations before you, and ye shall possesse great nations and mightier then you.
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。
All the places whereon the soles of your feete shall tread, shalbe yours: your coast shalbe from the wildernes and from Lebanon, and from the Riuer, euen the riuer Perath, vnto ye vttermost Sea.
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 man shall stande against you: for the Lord your God shall cast the feare and dread of you vpon all the land that ye shall treade vpon, as he hath said vnto you.
26 「看哪，我今日將祝福與咒詛的話都陳明在你們面前。
Beholde, I set before you this day a blessing and a 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 ye obey the commandements of the Lord your God which 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 ye curse, if ye wil not obey the commandements of the Lord your God, but turne out of the way, which I commande you this day, to go after other gods, which ye haue not knowen.
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。
When the Lord thy God therefore hath brought thee into ye lande, whither thou goest to possesse it, then thou shalt put the blessing vpon mount Gerizim, and the curse vpon mount Ebal.
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？
Are they not beyond Iorden on that part, where the sunne goeth downe in the land of the Canaanites, which dwel in the plaine ouer against Gilgal, beside the groue of Moreh?
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 yee shall passe ouer Iorden, to goe in to possesse the land, which ye Lord your God giueth you, and ye shall possesse it, and dwell therein.
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。」
Take heede therefore that ye doe all the commandements and the lawes, which I set before you this day.
