Deuteronomy 30
1 And it shall come to pass when all these things shall have come upon thee, the blessing and the curse, which I have set before thy face, and thou shalt call [them] to mind among all the nations, wherein the Lord shall have scattered thee,
幾時這一切事，就是我在你面前提出的祝福和詛咒，來到你身上，而你在上主你的天主驅逐你去的異族中，回心轉意，
2 and shalt return to the Lord thy God, and shalt hearken to his voice, according to all things which I charge thee this day, with all thy heart, and with all thy soul;
你和你的子孫全心全靈歸向上主你的天主，全照我今天吩咐你的，聽從他的話，
3 then the Lord shall heal thine iniquities, and shall pity thee, and shall again gather thee out from all the nations, among which the Lord has scattered thee.
那麼，上主你的天主必轉變你的命運，憐憫你；上主你的天主必從分散你去的各民族中，再召集你回來；
4 If thy dispersion be from one end of heaven to the other, thence will the Lord thy God gather thee, and thence will the Lord thy God take thee.
即便被放逐的人遠在天涯，上主你的天主也要從那裏召回，將你從那裏領回來。
5 And the Lord thy God shall bring thee in from thence into the land which thy fathers have inherited, and thou shalt inherit it; and he will do thee good, and multiply thee above thy fathers.
上主你的天主必領你進入你祖先所佔領的土地，叫你再佔領；也必使你比你的祖先更幸福，更眾多。
6 And the Lord shall purge thy heart, and the heart of thy seed, to love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, that thou mayest live.
那時，上主你的天主必在你的心上，和你後裔的心上行割損，叫你全心全靈愛慕上主你的天主，使你得以生存。
7 And the Lord thy God will put these curses upon thine enemies, and upon those that hate thee, who have persecuted thee.
上主你的天主必將這一切詛咒，加在迫害你的仇人和敵人身上。
8 And thou shalt return and hearken to the voice of the Lord thy God, and shall keep his commands, all that I charge thee this day.
從此，你必再聽從上主的話，遵行我今天吩咐你的一切誡命。
9 And the Lord thy God shall bless thee in every work of thine hands, in the offspring of thy body, and in the offspring of thy cattle, and in the fruits of thy land, because the Lord thy God will again rejoice over thee for good, as he rejoiced over thy fathers:
上主你的天主必使你做的一切事，你身所生的、牲畜所出的、田地所產的，都順利興旺，因為上主要再喜歡你，使你享福，如他以前喜歡你的祖先一樣，
10 if thou wilt hearken to the voice of the Lord thy God, to keep his commandments, and his ordinances, and his judgments written in the book of this law, if thou turn to the Lord thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul.
只要你聽從上主你天主的話，謹守這法律書上所記載的誡命和法令；只要你全心全靈回頭，歸向上主你的天主。
11 For this command which I give thee this day is not grievous, neither is it far from thee.
其實，我今天吩咐你的這誡命，為你並不太難，也不是達不到的。
12 It is not in heaven above, [as if there were one] saying, Who shall go up for us into heaven, and shall take it for us, and we will hear and do it?
這誡命不在天上，以致你能說：「誰能為我們上到天上，給我們取下，使我們聽了好能遵行呢﹖」
13 Neither is it beyond the sea, saying, Who will go over for us to the other side of the sea, and take it for us, and make it audible to us, and we will do it?
也不在海外，以致你能說：「誰能為我們渡到海外，給我們取來，使我們聽了好能遵行呢﹖」
14 The word is very near thee, in thy mouth, and in thine heart, and in thine hands to do it.
其實，這話離你很近，就在你口裏，就在你心裏，使你遵行。
15 Behold, I have set before thee this day life and death, good and evil.
你看，我今天將生命與幸福，死亡與災禍，都擺在你面前，
16 If thou wilt hearken to the commands of the Lord thy God, which I command thee this day, to love the Lord thy God, to walk in all his ways, and to keep his ordinances, and his judgments; then ye shall live, and shall be many in number, and the Lord thy God shall bless thee in all the land into which thou goest to inherit it.
如果你遵行我今天吩咐你的，上主你天主的誡命：愛慕上主你的天主，履行他的道路，謹守他的誡命、法令和規定，你必能生活繁榮，上主你的天主在要去佔領的地上，必要祝福你。
17 But if thy heart change, and thou wilt not hearken, and thou shalt go astray and worship other gods, and serve them,
但是，如果你心中叛離，不願聽從，被人引去敬拜事奉其他的神，
18 I declare to you this day, that ye shall utterly perish, and ye shall by no means live long upon the land, into which ye go over Jordan to inherit it.
我今天警告你們：你們必要滅亡，在你渡過約但河去佔領的土地上，決不能久存。
19 I call both heaven and earth to witness this day against you, I have set before you life and death, the blessing and the curse: choose thou life, that thou and thy seed may live;
我今天指著天地向你們作證：我已將生命與死亡，祝福與詛咒，都擺在你面前；你要選擇生命，為叫你和你的後裔得以生存；
20 to love the Lord thy God, to hearken to his voice, and cleave to him; for this [is] thy life, and the length of thy days, that thou shouldest dwell upon the land, which the Lord sware to thy fathers, Abraam, and Isaac, and Jacob, to give to them.
你應愛慕上主你的天主，聽從他的話，完全依賴他；因為這樣你纔能生活，纔能久存，纔能住在上主向你的祖先亞巴郎、依撒格和雅各伯誓許要給他們的土地上。
