申命記 30
1 「我所陳明在你面前的這一切咒詛都臨到你身上；你在耶和華－你上帝追趕你到的萬國中必心裏追念祝福的話；
Now when all these things have come on you, the blessing and the curse which I have put before you, if the thought of them comes back to your minds, when you are living among the nations where the Lord your God has sent you,
2 你和你的子孫若盡心盡性歸向耶和華－你的上帝，照着我今日一切所吩咐的聽從他的話；
And your hearts are turned again to the Lord your God, and you give ear to his word which I give you today, you and your children, with all your heart and with all your soul:
3 那時，耶和華－你的上帝必憐恤你，救回你這被擄的子民；耶和華－你的上帝要回轉過來，從分散你到的萬民中將你招聚回來。
Then the Lord will have pity on you, changing your fate, and taking you back again from among all the nations where you have been forced to go.
4 你被趕散的人，就是在天涯的，耶和華－你的上帝也必從那裏將你招聚回來。
Even if those who have been forced out are living in the farthest part of heaven, the Lord your God will go in search of you, and take you back;
5 耶和華－你的上帝必領你進入你列祖所得的地，使你可以得着；又必善待你，使你的人數比你列祖眾多。
Placing you again in the land of your fathers as your heritage; and he will do you good, increasing you till you are more in number than your fathers were.
6 耶和華－你上帝必將你心裏和你後裔心裏的污穢除掉，好叫你盡心盡性愛耶和華－你的上帝，使你可以存活。
And the Lord your God will give to you and to your seed a circumcision of the heart, so that, loving him with all your heart and all your soul, you may have life.
7 耶和華－你的上帝必將這一切咒詛加在你仇敵和恨惡你、逼迫你的人身上。
And the Lord your God will put all these curses on those who are against you, and on your haters who put a cruel yoke on you.
8 你必歸回，聽從耶和華的話，遵行他的一切誡命，就是我今日所吩咐你的。
And you will again give ear to the voice of the Lord, and do all his orders which I have given you today.
9 你若聽從耶和華－你上帝的話，謹守這律法書上所寫的誡命律例，又盡心盡性歸向耶和華－你的上帝，他必使你手裏所辦的一切事，並你身所生的，牲畜所下的，地土所產的，都綽綽有餘；因為耶和華必再喜悅你，降福與你，像從前喜悅你列祖一樣。
And the Lord your God will make you fertile in all good things, blessing the work of your hands, and the fruit of your body, and the fruit of your cattle, and the fruit of your land: for the Lord will have joy in you, as he had in your fathers:
If you give ear to the voice of the Lord your God, keeping his orders and his laws which are recorded in this book of the law, and turning to the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul.
11 「我今日所吩咐你的誡命不是你難行的，也不是離你遠的；
For these orders which I have given you today are not strange and secret, and are not far away.
12 不是在天上，使你說：『誰替我們上天取下來，使我們聽見可以遵行呢？』
They are not in heaven, for you to say, Who will go up to heaven for us and give us knowledge of them so that we may do them?
13 也不是在海外，使你說：『誰替我們過海取了來，使我們聽見可以遵行呢？』
And they are not across the sea, for you to say, Who will go over the sea for us and give us news of them so that we may do them?
14 這話卻離你甚近，就在你口中，在你心裏，使你可以遵行。
But the word is very near you, in your mouth and in your heart, so that you may do it.
15 「看哪，我今日將生與福，死與禍，陳明在你面前。
See, I have put before you today, life and good, and death and evil;
16 吩咐你愛耶和華－你的上帝，遵行他的道，謹守他的誡命、律例、典章，使你可以存活，人數增多，耶和華－你上帝就必在你所要進去得為業的地上賜福與你。
In giving you orders today to have love for the Lord your God, to go in his ways and keep his laws and his orders and his decisions, so that you may have life and be increased, and that the blessing of the Lord your God may be with you in the land where you are going, the land of your heritage.
17 倘若你心裏偏離，不肯聽從，卻被勾引去敬拜事奉別神，
But if your heart is turned away and your ear is shut, and you go after those who would make you servants and worshippers of other gods:
18 我今日明明告訴你們，你們必要滅亡；在你過約旦河、進去得為業的地上，你的日子必不長久。
I give witness against you this day that destruction will certainly be your fate, and your days will be cut short in the land where you are going, the land of your heritage on the other side of Jordan.
19 我今日呼天喚地向你作見證；我將生死禍福陳明在你面前，所以你要揀選生命，使你和你的後裔都得存活；
Let heaven and earth be my witnesses against you this day that I have put before you life and death, a blessing and a curse: so take life for yourselves and for your seed:
20 且愛耶和華－你的上帝，聽從他的話，專靠他；因為他是你的生命，你的日子長久也在乎他。這樣，你就可以在耶和華向你列祖亞伯拉罕、以撒、雅各起誓應許所賜的地上居住。」
In loving the Lord your God, hearing his voice and being true to him: for he is your life and by him will your days be long: so that you may go on living in the land which the Lord gave by an oath to your fathers, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.
