Deuteronomy 11
1 “And you have loved your God YHWH, and kept His charge, and His statutes, and His judgments, and His commands, [for] all the days;
「你要愛耶和華－你的上帝，常守他的吩咐、律例、典章、誡命。
2 and you have known today—for it is not your sons who have not known and who have not seen the discipline of your God YHWH, His greatness, His strong hand, and His outstretched arm;
你們今日當知道，我本不是和你們的兒女說話；因為他們不知道，也沒有看見耶和華－你們上帝的管教、威嚴、大能的手，和伸出來的膀臂，
3 and His signs and His doings which He has done in the midst of Egypt, to Pharaoh king of Egypt and to all his land;
並他在埃及中向埃及王法老和其全地所行的神蹟奇事；
4 and that which He has done to the force of Egypt, to its horses, and to its chariot, when He has caused the waters of the Red Sea to flow against their faces in their pursuing after them, and YHWH destroys them, to this day;
也沒有看見他怎樣待埃及的軍兵、車馬，他們追趕你們的時候，耶和華怎樣使紅海的水淹沒他們，將他們滅絕，直到今日，
5 and that which He has done to you in the wilderness until your coming to this place;
並他在曠野怎樣待你們，以致你們來到這地方；
6 and that which He has done to Dathan and to Abiram, sons of Eliab, sons of Reuben, when the earth has opened her mouth and swallows them, and their houses, and their tents, and all that lives which is at their feet, in the midst of all Israel—
也沒有看見他怎樣待呂便子孫以利押的兒子大坍、亞比蘭，地怎樣在以色列人中間開口，吞了他們和他們的家眷，並帳棚與跟他們的一切活物。
7 but [it is] your eyes which are seeing all the great work of YHWH which He has done.
惟有你們親眼看見耶和華所做的一切大事。」
8 And you have kept all the command which I am commanding you today, so that you are strong, and have gone in, and possessed the land to where you are passing over to possess it,
「所以，你們要守我今日所吩咐的一切誡命，使你們膽壯，能以進去，得你們所要得的那地，
9 and so that you prolong days on the ground which YHWH has sworn to your fathers to give to them and to their seed—a land flowing with milk and honey.
並使你們的日子在耶和華向你們列祖起誓、應許給他們和他們後裔的地上得以長久；那是流奶與蜜之地。
10 For the land to where you are going in to possess it is not as the land of Egypt from where you have come out, where you sow your seed and have watered with your foot, as a garden of the green herb;
你要進去得為業的那地，本不像你出來的埃及地。你在那裏撒種，用腳澆灌，像澆灌菜園一樣。
11 but the land to where you are passing over to possess it [is] a land of hills and valleys—it drinks water of the rain of the heavens—
你們要過去得為業的那地乃是有山有谷、雨水滋潤之地，
12 a land which your God YHWH is searching; the eyes of your God YHWH [are] continually on it, from the beginning of the year even to the latter end of the year.
是耶和華－你上帝所眷顧的；從歲首到年終，耶和華－你上帝的眼目時常看顧那地。
13 And it has been, if you listen diligently to My commands which I am commanding you today, to love your God YHWH, and to serve Him with all your heart and with all your soul,
「你們若留意聽從我今日所吩咐的誡命，愛耶和華－你們的上帝，盡心盡性事奉他，
14 then I have given the rain of your land in its season—autumn rain and spring rain—and you have gathered your grain, and your new wine, and your oil,
他必按時降秋雨春雨在你們的地上，使你們可以收藏五穀、新酒，和油，
15 and I have given herbs in your field for your livestock, and you have eaten and been satisfied.
也必使你吃得飽足，並使田野為你的牲畜長草。
16 Take heed to yourselves lest your heart be enticed, and you have turned aside, and served other gods, and bowed yourselves to them,
你們要謹慎，免得心中受迷惑，就偏離正路，去事奉敬拜別神。
17 and the anger of YHWH has burned against you, and He has restrained the heavens and there is no rain, and the ground does not give her increase, and you have perished quickly from off the good land which YHWH is giving to you.
耶和華的怒氣向你們發作，就使天閉塞不下雨，地也不出產，使你們在耶和華所賜給你們的美地上速速滅亡。
18 And you have placed these words of mine on your heart and on your soul, and have bound them for a sign on your hand, and they have been for frontlets between your eyes;
「你們要將我這話存在心內，留在意中，繫在手上為記號，戴在額上為經文；
19 and you have taught them to your sons by speaking of them in your sitting in your house, and in your going in the way, and in your lying down, and in your rising up,
也要教訓你們的兒女，無論坐在家裏，行在路上，躺下，起來，都要談論；
20 and have written them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates,
又要寫在房屋的門框上，並城門上，
21 so that your days are multiplied, and the days of your sons, on the ground which YHWH has sworn to your fathers to give to them, as the days of the heavens above the earth.
使你們和你們子孫的日子在耶和華向你們列祖起誓、應許給他們的地上得以增多，如天覆地的日子那樣多。
22 For if you diligently keep all this command which I am commanding you to do—to love your God YHWH, to walk in all His ways, and to cleave to Him—
你們若留意謹守遵行我所吩咐這一切的誡命，愛耶和華－你們的上帝，行他的道，專靠他，
23 then YHWH has dispossessed all these nations from before you, and you have possessed nations greater and mightier than you.
他必從你們面前趕出這一切國民，就是比你們更大更強的國民，你們也要得他們的地。
24 Every place on which the sole of your foot treads is yours: from the wilderness and Lebanon, from the river, the Euphrates River, even to the Western Sea, is your border.
凡你們腳掌所踏之地都必歸你們；從曠野和黎巴嫩，並幼發拉底大河，直到西海，都要作你們的境界。
25 No man stations himself in your presence; your God YHWH puts your dread and your fear on the face of all the land on which you tread, as He has spoken to you.
必無一人能在你們面前站立得住；耶和華－你們的上帝必照他所說的，使懼怕驚恐臨到你們所踏之地的居民。
26 See, today I am setting before you a blessing and a reviling:
「看哪，我今日將祝福與咒詛的話都陳明在你們面前。
27 the blessing when you listen to the commands of your God YHWH which I am commanding you today;
你們若聽從耶和華－你們上帝的誡命，就是我今日所吩咐你們的，就必蒙福。
28 and the reviling if you do not listen to the commands of your God YHWH, and have turned aside from the way which I am commanding you today, to go after other gods which you have not known.
你們若不聽從耶和華－你們上帝的誡命，偏離我今日所吩咐你們的道，去事奉你們素來所不認識的別神，就必受禍。
29 And it has been, when your God YHWH brings you into the land to where you are going in to possess it, that you have given the blessing on Mount Gerizim and the reviling on Mount Ebal;
及至耶和華－你的上帝領你進入要去得為業的那地，你就要將祝福的話陳明在基利心山上，將咒詛的話陳明在以巴路山上。
30 are they not beyond the Jordan, behind the way of the going in of the sun, in the land of the Canaanite who is dwelling in the plain opposite Gilgal, near the oaks of Moreh?
這二山豈不是在約旦河那邊，日落之處，在住亞拉巴的迦南人之地與吉甲相對，靠近摩利橡樹嗎？
31 For you are passing over the Jordan to go in to possess the land which your God YHWH is giving to you; and you have possessed it, and dwelt in it,
你們要過約旦河，進去得耶和華－你們上帝所賜你們為業之地，在那地居住。
32 and observed to do all the statutes and the judgments which I am setting before you today.”
你們要謹守遵行我今日在你們面前所陳明的一切律例典章。」
