Deuteronomy 6

1 And these [are] the commands, and the ordinances, and the judgments, as many as the Lord our God gave commandment to teach you to do so in the land on which you enter to inherit it.

And these are the commandments, the statutes, and the ordinances, which Jehovah your God commanded to teach you, that ye may do them in the land whereunto ye pass over to possess it,

2 That you may fear the Lord your God, keep you all his ordinances, and his commandments, which I command you today, you, and your sons, and your sons' sons, all the days of your life, that you may live many days.

that thou mayest fear Jehovah thy God, to keep all his statutes and his commandments which I command thee, thou, and thy son, and thy son's son, all the days of thy life; and that thy days may be prolonged.

3 Hear, therefore, O Israel, and observe to do them, that it may be well with you, and that you may be greatly multiplied, as the Lord God of your fathers said that he would give you a land flowing with milk and honey: and these [are] the ordinances, and the judgments, which the Lord commanded the children of Israel in the wilderness, when they had gone forth from the land of Egypt.

And thou shalt hear, Israel, and take heed to do [them]; that it may be well with thee, and that ye may increase greatly, as Jehovah the God of thy fathers hath said unto thee, in a land flowing with milk and honey.

4 Hear, O Israel, The Lord our God is one Lord.

Hear, Israel: Jehovah our God is one Jehovah;

5 And you shall love the Lord your God with all your mind, and with all your soul, and all your strength.

and thou shalt love Jehovah thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength.

6 And these words, all that I command you this day, shall be in your heart and in your soul.

And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be in thy heart;

7 And you shall teach them to your children, and you shall speak of them sitting in the house, and walking by the way, and lying down, and rising up.

and thou shalt impress them on thy sons, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thy house, and when thou goest on the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up.

8 And you shall fasten them for a sign upon your hand, and it shall be immoveable before your eyes.

And thou shalt bind them for a sign on thy hand, and they shall be for frontlets between thine eyes.

9 And you shall write them on the lintels of your houses and of your gates.

And thou shalt write them upon the posts of thy house, and upon thy gates.

10 And it shall come to pass when the Lord your God shall have brought you into the land which he sware to your fathers, to Abraam, and to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give you great and beautiful cities which you did not build,

And it shall be, when Jehovah thy God bringeth thee into the land which he swore unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give thee: great and good cities which thou buildedst not,

11 houses full of all good things which you did not fill, wells dug in the rock which you did not dig, vineyards and olive yards which you did not plant, then having eaten and been filled,

and houses full of everything good which thou filledst not, and wells digged which thou diggedst not, vineyards and oliveyards which thou plantedst not, and thou shalt have eaten and shalt be full;

12 beware lest you forget the Lord your God that brought you forth out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.

[then] beware lest thou forget Jehovah who brought thee forth out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.

13 You shall fear the Lord your God, and him only shall you serve; and you shall cleave to him, and by his name you shall swear.

Thou shalt fear Jehovah thy God, and serve him, and shalt swear by his name.

14 Go you not after other gods of the gods of the nations round about you;

Ye shall not go after other gods, of the gods of the peoples that are round about you;

15 for the Lord your God in the midst of you [is] a jealous God, lest the Lord your God be very angry with you, and destroy you from off the face of the earth.

for Jehovah thy God is a jealous God in thy midst; lest the anger of Jehovah thy God be kindled against thee, and he destroy thee from the face of the earth.

16 You shall not tempt the Lord your God, as you tempted him in the temptation.

Ye shall not tempt Jehovah your God, as ye tempted him in Massah.

17 You shall by all means keep the commands of the Lord your God, the testimonies, and the ordinances, which he commanded you.

Ye shall diligently keep the commandments of Jehovah your God, and his testimonies, and his statutes, which he hath commanded thee.

18 And you shall do that which is pleasing and good before the Lord your God, that it may be well with you, and that you may go in and inherit the good land, which the Lord sware to your fathers,

And thou shalt do what is right and good in the sight of Jehovah, that it may be well with thee, and that thou mayest enter in and possess the good land which Jehovah swore unto thy fathers,

19 to chase all your enemies from before your face, as the Lord said.

thrusting out all thine enemies from before thee, as Jehovah hath spoken.

20 And it shall come to pass when your son shall ask you at a future time, saying, What are the testimonies, and the ordinances, and the judgments, which the Lord our God has commanded us?

When thy son shall ask thee in time to come, saying, What are the testimonies, and the statutes, and the ordinances, which Jehovah our God hath commanded you?

21 Then shall you say to your son, We were slaves to Pharao in the land of Egypt, and the Lord brought us forth thence with a mighty hand, and with a high arm.

then thou shalt say unto thy son, We were Pharaoh's bondmen in Egypt; and Jehovah brought us out of Egypt with a powerful hand;

22 And the Lord wrought signs and great and grievous wonders in Egypt, on Pharao and on his house before us.

and Jehovah shewed signs and wonders, great and grievous, upon Egypt, upon Pharaoh, and upon all his household, before our eyes;

23 And he brought us out thence to give us this land, which he sware to give to our fathers.

and he brought us out thence, that he might bring us in, to give us the land which he swore unto our fathers.

24 And the Lord charged us to observe all these ordinances; to fear the Lord our God, that it may be well with us for ever, that we may live, as even today.

And Jehovah commanded us to do all these statutes, to fear Jehovah our God, for our good continually, that he might preserve us alive, as it is this day.

25 And there shall be mercy to us, if we take heed to keep all these commands before the Lord our God, as he has commanded us.

And it shall be our righteousness if we take heed to do all these commandments before Jehovah our God, as he hath commanded us.
