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.
“你要爱耶和华—你的 神，常守他的吩咐、律例、典章、诫命。
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,
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 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:
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 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:
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 vnto you in the wildernesse, vntill yee came vnto 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 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.
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 For your eyes haue seene all the great actes of the Lord which he did.
惟有你们亲眼看见耶和华所做的一切大事。”
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 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.
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 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:
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 whither ye goe to possesse it, is a land of mountaines and valleis, and drinketh water of the raine of heauen.
你们要过去得为业的那地乃是有山有谷、雨水滋润之地，
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 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,
“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 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 Also I will send grasse in thy fieldes, for thy cattel, that thou maist eate, and haue inough.
也必使你吃得饱足，并使田野为你的牲畜长草。
16 But beware lest your heart deceiue you, and lest yee turne aside, and serue 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 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.
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 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 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.
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 And thou shalt write them vpon the postes of thine house, and vpon thy gates,
又要写在房屋的门框上，并城门上，
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.
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 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,
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 will the Lord cast out all these nations before you, and ye shall possesse great nations and mightier then you.
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 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 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.
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 Beholde, I set before you this day 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 ye obey the commandements of the Lord your God which I command you this day:
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 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.
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 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.
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 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?
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 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 Take heede therefore that ye doe all the commandements and the lawes, which I set before you this day.
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。”
