Deuteronomy 6
1 These now are the commandements, ordinances, and lawes, which the Lord your God commanded me to teach you, that ye might doe them in the land whither ye go to possesse it:
以下是上主你們的天主吩咐我教給你們的誡命、法令和規則，叫你們在過河後去佔領的地內遵行，
2 That thou mightest feare the Lord thy God, and keepe all his ordinances, and his commandements which I commaund thee, thou, and thy sonne, and thy sonnes sonne all the dayes of thy life, euen that thy dayes may be prolonged.
好使你和你的子子孫孫，終生日日敬畏上主你的天主，遵守我吩咐你的一切法令和誡命，使你獲享長壽。
3 Heare therefore, O Israel, and take heede to doe it, that it may go well with thee, and that ye may increase mightily in the land that floweth with milke and hony, as the Lord God of thy fathers hath promised thee.
以色列! 你要聽，且謹守遵行，好使你在流奶流蜜的地方，獲得幸福，人數增多，如上主你祖先的天主所許給你的。
4 Heare, O Israel, The Lord our God is Lord onely,
以色列! 你要聽：上主我們的天主，是唯一的上主。
5 And thou shalt loue the Lord thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soule, and with all thy might.
你當全心、全靈、全力，愛上主你的天主。
6 And these wordes which I commaund thee this day, shalbe in thine heart.
我今天吩咐你的這些話，你應牢記在心，
7 And thou shalt rehearse them continually vnto thy children, and shalt talke of them when thou tariest in thine house, and as thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest downe, and when thou risest vp:
並將這些話灌輸給你的子女。不論你住在家裏，或在路上行走，或臥或立，常應講論這些話；
8 And thou shalt binde them for a signe vpon thine hand, and they shalbe as frontlets betweene thine eyes.
又該繫在你的手上，當作標記；懸在額上，當作徽號；
9 Also thou shalt write them vpon ye postes of thine house, and vpon thy gates.
刻在你住宅的門框上和門扇上。
10 And when the Lord thy God hath brought thee into the land, which he sware vnto thy fathers, Abraham, Izhak, and Iaakob, to giue to thee, with great and goodly cities which thou buildedst not,
上主你的天主，幾時領你進入他向你的祖先亞巴郎、依撒格和雅各伯起誓，要賜給你的地方，那裏有高大壯觀的城邑，而不是你所建造的；
11 And houses full of all maner of goods which thou filledst not, and welles digged which thou diggedst not, vineyards and oliue trees which thou plantedst not, and when thou hast eaten and art full,
有充滿各樣寶物的住宅，而不是你裝滿的；有蓄水池，而不是你挖掘的；有葡萄園和橄欖樹林，而不是你栽植的；──當你吃飽時，
12 Beware least thou forget the Lord, which brought thee out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage.
你應留心，不要忘了領你由埃及地，為奴之家，出來的上主。
13 Thou shalt feare the Lord thy God, and serue him, and shalt sweare by his Name.
你要敬畏上主你的天主，只事奉他，只以他的名起誓。
14 Ye shall not walke after other gods, after any of the gods of the people which are round about you,
不可追隨別的神，即你們四周民族的神，
15 (For the Lord thy God is a ielous God among you: ) least the wrath of the Lord thy God be kindled against thee, and destroy thee from the face of the earth.
因為在你中間的上主你的天主，是忌邪的天主，免得上主你的天主發怒，將你由地上消滅。
16 Ye shall not tempt the Lord your God, as ye did tempt him in Massah:
你們不可試探上主你們的天主，如同在瑪撒試探了他一樣。
17 But ye shall keepe diligently the commandements of the Lord your God, and his testimonies, and his ordinances which he hath commanded thee,
應謹慎遵守上主你們天主所吩咐你的誡命、教訓和法令。
18 And thou shalt doe that which is right and good in the sight of the Lord: that thou mayest prosper, and that thou mayest go in, and possesse that good land which the Lord sware vnto thy fathers,
應做上主眼中視為正義和美善的事，使你能獲得幸福，能去佔領上主誓許與你祖先的那塊肥美的土地，
19 To cast out all thine enemies before thee, as the Lord hath sayd.
能由你面前驅逐你的一切仇敵，如上主所應許的。
20 When thy sonne shall aske thee in time to come, saying, What meane these testimonies, and ordinances, and Lawes, which the Lord our God hath commanded you?
假使日後你的兒子問你說：「上主我們的天主吩咐你們的這些教訓、法令和規則，究竟有什麼意思﹖」
21 Then shalt thou say vnto thy sonne, We were Pharaohs bondmen in Egypt: but the Lord brought vs out of Egypt with a mightie hand.
你應對你的兒子說：我們曾在埃及作過法郎的奴隸，上主卻以大能的手將我們由埃及領了出來。
22 And the Lord shewed signes and wonders great and euill vpon Egypt, vpon Pharaoh, and vpon all his housholde, before our eyes,
上主在我們的眼前，對埃及，對法郎和他全家，行了轟轟烈烈的神蹟和奇事；
23 And brought vs out from thence, to bring vs in, and to giue vs the land which he sware vnto our fathers.
將我們從那裏領出來，領我們進入他誓許給我們的祖先，要賜給我們的土地。
24 Therefore the Lord hath commanded vs, to doe all these ordinances, and to feare the Lord our God, that it may goe euer well with vs, and that he may preserue vs aliue as at this present.
那時，上主吩咐我們遵行這一切法令，為敬畏上主我們的天主，為使我們時時得享幸福，得保生命，就如今日一樣。
25 Moreouer, this shall be our righteousnes before the Lord our God, if we take heede to keepe all these commandements, as he hath commanded vs.
我們在上主我們的天主面前，照他所吩咐我們的，謹慎遵行這一切誡命，就是我們的義德。
