申命記 6
1 「這是耶和華－你們上帝所吩咐教訓你們的誡命、律例、典章，使你們在所要過去得為業的地上遵行，
'And this [is] the command, the statutes and the judgments which Jehovah your God hath commanded to teach you, to do in the land which ye are passing over thither to possess it,
2 好叫你和你子子孫孫一生敬畏耶和華－你的上帝，謹守他的一切律例誡命，就是我所吩咐你的，使你的日子得以長久。
so that thou dost fear Jehovah thy God, to keep all His statutes and His commands, which I am commanding thee, thou, and thy son, and thy son's son, all days of thy life, and so that thy days are prolonged.
3 以色列啊，你要聽，要謹守遵行，使你可以在那流奶與蜜之地得以享福，人數極其增多，正如耶和華－你列祖的上帝所應許你的。
'And thou hast heard, O Israel, and observed to do, that it may be well with thee, and that thou mayest multiply exceedingly, as Jehovah, God of thy fathers, hath spoken to thee, [in] the land flowing with milk and honey.
4 「以色列啊，你要聽！耶和華－我們上帝是獨一的主。
'Hear, O Israel, Jehovah our God [is] one Jehovah;
5 你要盡心、盡性、盡力愛耶和華－你的上帝。
and thou hast loved Jehovah thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might,
6 我今日所吩咐你的話都要記在心上，
and these words which I am commanding thee to-day have been on thine heart,
7 也要殷勤教訓你的兒女。無論你坐在家裏，行在路上，躺下，起來，都要談論。
and thou hast repeated them to thy sons, and spoken of them in thy sitting in thine house, and in thy walking in the way, and in thy lying down, and in thy rising up,
8 也要繫在手上為記號，戴在額上為經文；
and hast bound them for a sign upon thy hand, and they have been for frontlets between thine eyes,
9 又要寫在你房屋的門框上，並你的城門上。」
and thou hast written them on door-posts of thy house, and on thy gates.
10 「耶和華－你的上帝領你進他向你列祖亞伯拉罕、以撒、雅各起誓應許給你的地。那裏有城邑，又大又美，非你所建造的；
'And it hath been, when Jehovah thy God doth bring thee in unto the land which He hath sworn to thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give to thee — cities great and good, which thou hast not built,
11 有房屋，裝滿各樣美物，非你所裝滿的；有鑿成的水井，非你所鑿成的；還有葡萄園、橄欖園，非你所栽種的；你吃了而且飽足。
and houses full of all good things which thou hast not filled, and wells digged which thou hast not digged, vineyards and olive-yards which thou hast not planted, and thou hast eaten, and been satisfied;
12 那時你要謹慎，免得你忘記將你從埃及地、為奴之家領出來的耶和華。
'Take heed to thyself lest thou forget Jehovah who hath brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of a house of servants;
13 你要敬畏耶和華－你的上帝，事奉他，指着他的名起誓。
Jehovah thy God thou dost fear, and Him thou dost serve, and by His name thou dost swear;
14 不可隨從別神，就是你們四圍國民的神；
ye do not go after other gods, of the gods of the peoples who [are] round about you;
15 因為在你們中間的耶和華－你上帝是忌邪的上帝，惟恐耶和華－你上帝的怒氣向你發作，就把你從地上除滅。
for a zealous God [is] Jehovah thy God in thy midst — lest the anger of Jehovah thy God burn against thee, and He hath destroyed thee from off the face of the ground.
16 「你們不可試探耶和華－你們的上帝，像你們在瑪撒那樣試探他。
'Ye do not try Jehovah your God as ye tried in Massah;
17 要留意遵守耶和華－你們上帝所吩咐的誡命、法度、律例。
ye do diligently keep the commands of Jehovah your God, and His testimonies, and His statutes which He hath commanded thee,
18 耶和華眼中看為正、看為善的，你都要遵行，使你可以享福，並可以進去得耶和華向你列祖起誓應許的那美地，
and thou hast done that which is right and good in the eyes of Jehovah, so that it is well with thee, and thou hast gone in and possessed the good land which Jehovah hath sworn to thy fathers,
19 照耶和華所說的，從你面前攆出你的一切仇敵。
to drive away all thine enemies from thy presence, as Jehovah hath spoken.
20 「日後，你的兒子問你說：『耶和華－我們上帝吩咐你們的這些法度、律例、典章是甚麼意思呢？』
'When thy son asketh thee hereafter, saying, What [are] the testimonies, and the statutes, and the judgments, which Jehovah our God hath commanded you?
21 你就告訴你的兒子說：『我們在埃及作過法老的奴僕；耶和華用大能的手將我們從埃及領出來，
then thou hast said to thy son, Servants we have been to Pharaoh in Egypt, and Jehovah bringeth us out of Egypt by a high hand;
22 在我們眼前，將重大可怕的神蹟奇事施行在埃及地和法老並他全家的身上，
and Jehovah giveth signs and wonders, great and sad, on Egypt, on Pharaoh, and on all his house, before our eyes;
23 將我們從那裏領出來，要領我們進入他向我們列祖起誓應許之地，把這地賜給我們。
and us He hath brought out thence, in order to bring us in, to give to us the land which He had sworn to our fathers.
24 耶和華又吩咐我們遵行這一切律例，要敬畏耶和華－我們的上帝，使我們常得好處，蒙他保全我們的生命，像今日一樣。
And Jehovah commandeth us to do all these statutes, to fear Jehovah our God, for good to ourselves all the days, to keep us alive, as [at] this day;
25 我們若照耶和華－我們上帝所吩咐的一切誡命謹守遵行，這就是我們的義了。』」
and righteousness it is for us, when we observe to do all this command before Jehovah our God, as He hath commanded us.
