< Deuteronomy 6 >
1 Now these are the orders and the laws and the decisions which the Lord your God gave me for your teaching, so that you might do them in the land of your heritage to which you are going:
(And this *L(P)*) [is] the commandment the statutes and the judgments which he has commanded Yahweh God your to teach you to observe in the land where you [are] about to pass over there towards to take possession of it.
2 So that living in the fear of the Lord your God, you may keep all his laws and his orders, which I give you: you and your son and your son's son, all the days of your life; and so that your life may be long.
So that you may fear Yahweh God your to keep all statutes his and commandments his which I [am] commanding you you and child your and [the] child of child your all [the] days of life your and so that they may grow long! days your.
3 So give ear, O Israel, and take care to do this; so that it may be well for you, and you may be greatly increased, as the Lord the God of your fathers has given you his word, in a land flowing with milk and honey.
And you will hear O Israel and you will take care to observe [them] that it will go well for you and that you will increase! exceedingly just as he spoke Yahweh [the] God of ancestors your to you a land flowing of milk and honey.
4 Give ear, O Israel: the Lord our God is one Lord:
Hear O Israel Yahweh God our Yahweh - [is] one.
5 And the Lord your God is to be loved with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength.
And you will love Yahweh God your with all heart your and with all being your and with all strength your.
6 Keep these words, which I say to you this day, deep in your hearts;
And they will be the words these which I [am] commanding you this day on heart your.
7 Teaching them to your children with all care, talking of them when you are at rest in your house or walking by the way, when you go to sleep and when you get up.
And you will repeat them to children your and you will speak in them when sitting you in house your and when walking you on the road and when lying down you and when rising up you.
8 Let them be fixed as a sign on your hand, and marked on your brow;
And you will tie them for a sign on hand your and they will be for marks between eyes your.
9 Have them lettered on the pillars of your houses and over the doors of your towns.
And you will write them on [the] doorposts of house your and on gates your.
10 And when the Lord your God has taken you into the land which he gave his oath to your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, that he would give you; with great and fair towns which were not of your building;
And it will be that he will bring you - Yahweh God your into the land which he swore to ancestors your to Abraham to Isaac and to Jacob to give to you cities large and good which not you built.
11 And houses full of good things not stored up by you, and places for storing water which you did not make, and vine-gardens and olive-trees not of your planting; and you have taken food and are full;
And houses full every good thing which not you filled and wells dug out which not you dug vineyards and olive trees which not you planted and you will eat and you will be satisfied.
12 Then take care that you keep your hearts true to the Lord, who took you out of the land of Egypt, out of the prison-house.
Take heed to yourself lest you should forget Yahweh who he brought out you from [the] land of Egypt from a house of slaves.
13 Let the fear of the Lord your God be in your hearts, and be his servants, taking your oaths by his name.
Yahweh God your you will fear and him you will serve and in name his you will swear oaths.
14 Do not go after other gods, the gods of the peoples round about you;
Not you will walk! after gods other any of [the] gods of the peoples which [are] around you.
15 For the Lord your God who is with you is a God who will not let his honour be given to another; or the wrath of the Lord will be burning against you, causing your destruction from the face of the earth.
For [is] a God jealous Yahweh God your in midst your lest it should burn [the] anger of Yahweh God your on you and he will destroy you from on [the] surface of the ground.
16 Do not put the Lord your God to the test as you did in Massah.
Not you will put to [the] test Yahweh God your just as you put [him] to [the] test at Massah.
17 Keep with care the orders of the Lord your God, and his rules and his laws which he has given you;
Certainly you will keep! [the] commandments of Yahweh God your and testimonies his and statutes his which he has commanded you.
18 And do what is upright and good in the eyes of the Lord your God, so that it may be well for you and you may go in and take for your heritage that good land from which the Lord undertook by an oath to your fathers,
And you will do the right and the good in [the] eyes of Yahweh so that it may go well for you and you will go and you will take possession of the land good which he swore Yahweh to ancestors your.
19 To send out from before you all those who are against you.
To drive out all enemies your from before you just as he has spoken Yahweh.
20 And when your son says to you in time to come, What is the reason for these rules and laws and decisions which the Lord our God has given you?
If he will ask you child your tomorrow saying what? [are] the testimonies and the statutes and the judgments which he commanded Yahweh God our you.
21 Then you will say to your son, We were servants under Pharaoh's yoke in Egypt; and the Lord took us out of Egypt with a strong hand:
And you will say to child your slaves we were of Pharaoh in Egypt and he brought out us Yahweh from Egypt by a hand strong.
22 And the Lord did great signs and wonders against Egypt, and against Pharaoh and all his house, before our eyes:
And he gave Yahweh signs and wonders great and bad - on Egypt on Pharaoh and on all household his to eyes our.
23 And he took us out from that place, guiding us here to give us this land, as he said in his oath to our fathers.
And us he brought out from there so as to bring us to give to us the land which he swore to ancestors our.
24 And the Lord gave us orders to keep all these laws, in the fear of the Lord our God, so that it might be well for us for ever, and that he might keep us from death, as he has done to this day.
And he commanded us Yahweh to observe all the statutes these to fear Yahweh God our for good of us all the days to preserve alive us as the day this.
25 And it will be our righteousness if we take care to keep all this order before the Lord our God as he has given it to us.
And righteousness it will belong to us that we will take care to observe all the commandment this before Yahweh God our just as he commanded us.
