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 will have fallen over you, the blessing or the curse that I have set forth in your sight, and you will have been led to repentance in your heart among all the nations to which the Lord your God will have dispersed 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 when you will have returned to him, so as to obey his commandments, just as I have instructed you this day, with your sons, with your whole heart and with your whole 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 your God will lead you away from your captivity, and he will take pity on you, and he will gather you again from all the nations to which he had dispersed you before.
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 you will have been scattered as far as the poles of the heavens, the Lord your God will retrieve you from there.
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。
And he will take you up and lead you into the land which your fathers had possessed, and you shall obtain it. And in blessing you, he will make you greater in number than your fathers ever 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。
The Lord your God will circumcise your heart, and the heart of your offspring, so that you may love the Lord your God with your entire heart and with your entire soul, so that you may be able to live.
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 he will turn all these curses upon your enemies, and upon those who hate and persecute 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。
But you shall return, and you shall listen to the voice of the Lord your God. And you shall carry out all the commandments which I am entrusting to you this day.
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 cause you to abound in all the works of your hands, in the progeny of your womb, and in the fruit of your cattle, in the fertility of your land, and with an abundance of all things. For the Lord will return, so that he may rejoice over you in all good things, just as he rejoiced in your fathers:
but only if you will listen to the voice of the Lord your God, and keep his precepts and ceremonies, which have been written in this law, and only if you return 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；
This commandment, which I entrust to you today, is not high above you, nor has it been placed 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？』
Nor is it in heaven, so that you would be able to say, ‘Which of us can ascend to heaven, so as to carry it back to us, and so that we may hear it and fulfill it in deed?’
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？』
Nor is it beyond the sea, so that you would excuse yourself by saying, ‘Which of us is able to cross the sea, and to carry it back to us, so that we may be able to hear and to do what has been instructed?’
14 這話卻離你甚近，就在你口中，在你心裏，使你可以遵行。
Instead, the word is near to 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。
Consider what I have set forth in your sight this day, life and good, or, on the opposite side, 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。
so that you may love the Lord your God, and walk in his ways, and keep his commandments and ceremonies and judgments, and so that you may live, and he may multiply you and bless you in the land, which you shall enter in order to possess.
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 will have been turned aside, so that you are not willing to listen, and, having been deceived by error, you adore strange gods and serve them,
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。
then I predict to you this day that you will perish, and you will remain for only a short time in the land, for which you shall cross the Jordan, and which you shall enter in order to possess.
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；
I call heaven and earth as witnesses this day, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and curse. Therefore, choose life, so that both you and your offspring may live,
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。」
and so that you may love the Lord your God, and obey his voice, and cling to him, (for he is your life and the length of your days) and so that you may live in the land, about which the Lord swore to your fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, that he would give it to them.”
