Deuteronomy 11
1 Therefore thou shalt loue the Lord thy God, and shalt keepe that, which he commandeth to be kept: that is, his ordinances, and his lawes, and his commandements alway.
你應愛上主你的天主，天天遵守他的訓令、法律、規則和誡命。
2 And consider this day (for I speake not to your children, which haue neither knowen nor seene) the chastisement of the Lord your God, his greatnesse, his mighty hande, and his stretched out arme,
今天你們應知道：你們的子孫並沒有見過，也沒有經歷過上主你們天主的懲戒、偉大強力的手和伸展的臂，
3 And his signes, and his actes, which hee did in the middes of Egypt vnto Pharaoh the King of Egypt and vnto all his land:
以及他在埃及對埃及王法郎及其全國所行的神蹟和奇事；
4 And what he did vnto the hoste of the Egyptians, vnto their horses, and to their charets, when he caused the waters of the red Sea to ouerflowe them, as they pursued after you, and the Lord destroied them vnto this day:
他如何對待了埃及的軍隊、戰馬和車輛；當他們追趕你們時，上主怎樣使紅海的水淹沒了他們，將他們消滅，直到今日；
5 And what he did vnto you in the wildernesse, vntill yee came vnto this place:
並且在曠野裏給你們作了什麼，直到你們來到此地；
6 And what he did vnto Dathan and Abiram the sonnes of Eliab ye sonne of Reuben, when the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed them with their housholds and their tents, and all their substance that they had in the middes of al Israel.
他怎樣對待了勒烏本的後裔厄里雅布的兒子達堂和阿彼蘭，地怎樣裂開了口，在全以色列中間吞沒了他們同他們的眷屬，帳棚以及屬他們的一切；
7 For your eyes haue seene all the great actes of the Lord which he did.
而且你們親眼見過上主所做的一切偉大作為。
8 Therefore shall ye keepe all the commandements, which I commaund you this day, that ye may be strong, and go in and possesse the land whither ye goe to possesse it:
所以你們應該遵守我今日吩咐你們的一切誡命，好能有力量去佔領你們過河要去佔領的地方，
9 Also that ye may prolong your daies in the land, which the Lord sware vnto your fathers, to giue vnto them and to their seede, euen a lande that floweth with milke and honie.
並在上主向你們祖先誓許要給他們和他們後裔的地方，即流奶流蜜的地方，得享長壽。
10 For the land whither thou goest to possesse it, is not as the lande of Egypt, from whence ye came, where thou sowedst thy seede, and wateredst it with thy feete as a garden of herbes:
因為你要去佔領的地方，不像你們出來的埃及地，在那裏你撒了種，還要用腳灌溉，像灌溉菜園一樣；
11 But the land whither ye goe to possesse it, is a land of mountaines and valleis, and drinketh water of the raine of heauen.
但你們過河去佔領的地方，卻是一個有山有谷，有天上的雨水所滋潤的地方，
12 This land doth the Lord thy God care for: the eies of the Lord thy God are alwaies vpon it, from the beginning of the yeere, euen vnto the ende of the yeere.
是上主你的天主自己照管的地方，是上主你的天主，自年首至年尾，時常注目眷視的地方。
13 If yee shall hearken therefore vnto my commandements, which I commaund you this day, that yee loue the Lord your God and serue him with all your heart, and with all your soule,
如果你們真聽從我今日吩咐你們的誡命，愛上主你們的天主，全心全靈事奉他，
14 I also wil giue raine vnto your land in due time, the first raine and the latter, that thou maist gather in thy wheat, and thy wine, and thine oyle.
他必按時給你們的土地降下時雨，秋雨和春雨；必使你豐收五穀、新酒和新油；
15 Also I will send grasse in thy fieldes, for thy cattel, that thou maist eate, and haue inough.
也必使田野給你的牲畜生出青草；如此你必能吃飽。
16 But beware lest your heart deceiue you, and lest yee turne aside, and serue other gods, and worship them,
你們應謹慎，免得你們的心受迷惑，離棄正道，去事奉敬拜其他的神，
17 And so the anger of the Lord be kindled against you, and he shut vp the heauen, that there be no raine, and that your lande yeelde not her fruit, and yee perish quickly from the good land, which the Lord giueth you.
叫上主對你們發怒，使蒼天封閉，雨不下降，地不生產，你們必由上主賜給你們的肥美土地上迅速滅亡。
18 Therefore shall ye lay vp these my words in your heart and in your soule, and binde them for a signe vpon your hand, that they may be as a frontlet betweene your eyes,
你們應將我這些話銘刻在你們的心靈上，繫在你們的手上，當作標記；懸在你們的額上，當作徽號。
19 And ye shall teach them your children, speaking of them, whe thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest downe, and when thou risest vp.
應將這些話教給你們的子孫，不論住在家裏，或在路上行走，或臥或立，不斷地講述；
20 And thou shalt write them vpon the postes of thine house, and vpon thy gates,
還應刻在你房屋的門框和門扇上，
21 That your daies may be multiplied, and the daies of your children, in ye land which the Lord sware vnto your fathers to giue them, as long as the heauens are aboue the earth.
好使你們和你們子孫的歲月，在上主誓許給你們祖先的土地上，如天覆地之久長。
22 For if ye keepe diligently all these commandements, which I command you to doe: that is, to loue the Lord your God, to walke in all his waies, and to cleaue vnto him,
如果你們謹慎遵守我吩咐你們遵行的這一切誡命，愛上主你們的天主，履行他的一切道路．一心依賴他，
23 Then will the Lord cast out all these nations before you, and ye shall possesse great nations and mightier then you.
上主必由你們面前將這一切民族驅逐，使你們能征服比你們更強大的民族。
24 All the places whereon the soles of your feete shall tread, shalbe yours: your coast shalbe from the wildernes and from Lebanon, and from the Riuer, euen the riuer Perath, vnto ye vttermost Sea.
凡你們的腳掌所踏之地，都必成為你們的；由曠野直到黎巴嫩，由大河，即幼發拉的河直到西海，是你們的疆界。
25 No man shall stande against you: for the Lord your God shall cast the feare and dread of you vpon all the land that ye shall treade vpon, as he hath said vnto you.
沒有人能對抗你們，上主你們的天主必照他對你們所許的，將害怕和畏懼你們的心情，散佈在你們所要踏進的地面。
26 Beholde, I set before you this day a blessing and a curse:
你看，我今天將祝福和詛咒，擺在你們面前：
27 The blessing, if ye obey the commandements of the Lord your God which I command you this day:
如果你們聽從上主你們天主的誡命，就是我今天吩咐你們的，你們必蒙祝福；
28 And ye curse, if ye wil not obey the commandements of the Lord your God, but turne out of the way, which I commande you this day, to go after other gods, which ye haue not knowen.
如果你們不聽從上主你們天主的誡命，離棄我今天吩咐你們的道路，去跟隨你們素不相識的其他神祇，必遭詛咒。
29 When the Lord thy God therefore hath brought thee into ye lande, whither thou goest to possesse it, then thou shalt put the blessing vpon mount Gerizim, and the curse vpon mount Ebal.
幾時上主你的天主領你進入你要去佔領的地方，你應在革黎斤山上宣佈祝福，在厄巴耳山上宣佈詛咒。──
30 Are they not beyond Iorden on that part, where the sunne goeth downe in the land of the Canaanites, which dwel in the plaine ouer against Gilgal, beside the groue of Moreh?
這兩座位於約但河西，日落之處，在居於阿辣巴荒野的客納罕人的境內，與基耳加耳相對，靠近摩勒橡樹。
31 For yee shall passe ouer Iorden, to goe in to possesse the land, which ye Lord your God giueth you, and ye shall possesse it, and dwell therein.
你們就快要過約但河，去佔領上主你們的天主賜給你們的土地。當你們佔領了那地，居住在那裏時，
32 Take heede therefore that ye doe all the commandements and the lawes, which I set before you this day.
你們應謹慎遵行我今天在你們面前所頒佈的一切法令和規則。
