Deuteronomy 11
1 Therefore you shall love the LORD your God, and keep his instructions, his statutes, his ordinances, and his commandments, always.
“你要爱耶和华—你的 神，常守他的吩咐、律例、典章、诫命。
2 Know this day—for I do not speak with your children who have not known, and who have not seen the chastisement of the LORD your God, his greatness, his mighty hand, his outstretched arm,
你们今日当知道，我本不是和你们的儿女说话；因为他们不知道，也没有看见耶和华—你们 神的管教、威严、大能的手，和伸出来的膀臂，
3 his signs, and his works, which he did in the middle of Egypt to Pharaoh the king of Egypt, and to all his land;
并他在埃及中向埃及王法老和其全地所行的神迹奇事；
4 and what he did to the army of Egypt, to their horses, and to their chariots; how he made the water of the Red Sea to overflow them as they pursued you, and how the LORD has destroyed them to this day;
也没有看见他怎样待埃及的军兵、车马，他们追赶你们的时候，耶和华怎样使红海的水淹没他们，将他们灭绝，直到今日，
5 and what he did to you in the wilderness until you came to this place;
并他在旷野怎样待你们，以致你们来到这地方；
6 and what he did to Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab, the son of Reuben—how the earth opened its mouth and swallowed them up, with their households, their tents, and every living thing that followed them, in the middle of all Israel;
也没有看见他怎样待吕便子孙以利押的儿子大坍、亚比兰，地怎样在以色列人中间开口，吞了他们和他们的家眷，并帐棚与跟他们的一切活物。
7 but your eyes have seen all of the LORD’s great work which he did.
惟有你们亲眼看见耶和华所做的一切大事。”
8 Therefore you shall keep the entire commandment which I command you today, that you may be strong, and go in and possess the land that you go over to possess;
“所以，你们要守我今日所吩咐的一切诫命，使你们胆壮，能以进去，得你们所要得的那地，
9 and that you may prolong your days in the land which the LORD swore to your fathers to give to them and to their offspring, a land flowing with milk and honey.
并使你们的日子在耶和华向你们列祖起誓、应许给他们和他们后裔的地上得以长久；那是流奶与蜜之地。
10 For the land, where you go in to possess is not like the land of Egypt that you came out of, where you sowed your seed and watered it with your foot, as a garden of herbs;
你要进去得为业的那地，本不像你出来的埃及地。你在那里撒种，用脚浇灌，像浇灌菜园一样。
11 but the land that you go over to possess is a land of hills and valleys which drinks water from the rain of the sky,
你们要过去得为业的那地乃是有山有谷、雨水滋润之地，
12 a land which the LORD your God cares for. The LORD your God’s eyes are always on it, from the beginning of the year even to the end of the year.
是耶和华—你 神所眷顾的；从岁首到年终，耶和华—你 神的眼目时常看顾那地。
13 It shall happen, if you shall listen diligently to my commandments which I command you today, to love the LORD your God, and to serve him with all your heart and with all your soul,
“你们若留意听从我今日所吩咐的诫命，爱耶和华—你们的 神，尽心尽性事奉他，
14 that I will give the rain for your land in its season, the early rain and the latter rain, that you may gather in your grain, your new wine, and your oil.
他必按时降秋雨春雨在你们的地上，使你们可以收藏五谷、新酒，和油，
15 I will give grass in your fields for your livestock, and you shall eat and be full.
也必使你吃得饱足，并使田野为你的牲畜长草。
16 Be careful, lest your heart be deceived, and you turn away to serve other gods and worship them;
你们要谨慎，免得心中受迷惑，就偏离正路，去事奉敬拜别神。
17 and the LORD’s anger be kindled against you, and he shut up the sky so that there is no rain, and the land does not yield its fruit; and you perish quickly from off the good land which the LORD gives you.
耶和华的怒气向你们发作，就使天闭塞不下雨，地也不出产，使你们在耶和华所赐给你们的美地上速速灭亡。
18 Therefore you shall lay up these words of mine in your heart and in your soul. You shall bind them for a sign on your hand, and they shall be for frontlets between your eyes.
“你们要将我这话存在心内，留在意中，系在手上为记号，戴在额上为经文；
19 You shall teach them to your children, talking of them when you sit in your house, when you walk by the way, when you lie down, and when you rise up.
也要教训你们的儿女，无论坐在家里，行在路上，躺下，起来，都要谈论；
20 You shall write them on the door posts of your house and on your gates;
又要写在房屋的门框上，并城门上，
21 that your days and your children’s days may be multiplied in the land which the LORD swore to your fathers to give them, as the days of the heavens above the earth.
使你们和你们子孙的日子在耶和华向你们列祖起誓、应许给他们的地上得以增多，如天覆地的日子那样多。
22 For if you shall diligently keep all these commandments which I command you—to do them, to love the LORD your God, to walk in all his ways, and to cling to him—
你们若留意谨守遵行我所吩咐这一切的诫命，爱耶和华—你们的 神，行他的道，专靠他，
23 then the LORD will drive out all these nations from before you, and you shall dispossess nations greater and mightier than yourselves.
他必从你们面前赶出这一切国民，就是比你们更大更强的国民，你们也要得他们的地。
24 Every place on which the sole of your foot treads shall be yours: from the wilderness and Lebanon, from the river, the river Euphrates, even to the western sea shall be your border.
凡你们脚掌所踏之地都必归你们；从旷野和黎巴嫩，并幼发拉底大河，直到西海，都要作你们的境界。
25 No man will be able to stand before you. The LORD your God will lay the fear of you and the dread of you on all the land that you tread on, as he has spoken to you.
必无一人能在你们面前站立得住；耶和华—你们的 神必照他所说的，使惧怕惊恐临到你们所踏之地的居民。
26 Behold, I set before you today a blessing and a curse:
“看哪，我今日将祝福与咒诅的话都陈明在你们面前。
27 the blessing, if you listen to the commandments of the LORD your God, which I command you today;
你们若听从耶和华—你们 神的诫命，就是我今日所吩咐你们的，就必蒙福。
28 and the curse, if you do not listen to the commandments of the LORD your God, but turn away out of the way which I command you today, to go after other gods which you have not known.
你们若不听从耶和华—你们 神的诫命，偏离我今日所吩咐你们的道，去事奉你们素来所不认识的别神，就必受祸。
29 It shall happen, when the LORD your God brings you into the land that you go to possess, that you shall set the blessing on Mount Gerizim, and the curse on Mount Ebal.
及至耶和华—你的 神领你进入要去得为业的那地，你就要将祝福的话陈明在基利心山上，将咒诅的话陈明在以巴路山上。
30 Are not they beyond the Jordan, behind the way of the going down of the sun, in the land of the Canaanites who dwell in the Arabah near Gilgal, beside the oaks of Moreh?
这二山岂不是在约旦河那边，日落之处，在住亚拉巴的迦南人之地与吉甲相对，靠近摩利橡树吗？
31 For you are to pass over the Jordan to go in to possess the land which the LORD your God gives you, and you shall possess it and dwell in it.
你们要过约旦河，进去得耶和华—你们 神所赐你们为业之地，在那地居住。
32 You shall observe to do all the statutes and the ordinances which I set before you today.
你们要谨守遵行我今日在你们面前所陈明的一切律例典章。”
