Deuteronomy 30
1 “And it has been, when all these things come on you, the blessing and the reviling, which I have set before you, and you have brought [them] back to your heart among all the nations to where your God YHWH has driven you away,
幾時這一切事，就是我在你面前提出的祝福和詛咒，來到你身上，而你在上主你的天主驅逐你去的異族中，回心轉意，
2 and have turned back to your God YHWH and listened to His voice, according to all that I am commanding you today, you and your sons, with all your heart and with all your soul—
你和你的子孫全心全靈歸向上主你的天主，全照我今天吩咐你的，聽從他的話，
3 then your God YHWH has turned back [to] your captivity and pitied you, indeed, He has turned back and gathered you out of all the peoples to where your God YHWH has scattered you.
那麼，上主你的天主必轉變你的命運，憐憫你；上主你的天主必從分散你去的各民族中，再召集你回來；
4 If your outcast is in the extremity of the heavens, your God YHWH gathers you from there and He takes you from there;
即便被放逐的人遠在天涯，上主你的天主也要從那裏召回，將你從那裏領回來。
5 and your God YHWH has brought you into the land which your fathers have possessed, and you have inherited it, and He has done you good, and multiplied you above your fathers.
上主你的天主必領你進入你祖先所佔領的土地，叫你再佔領；也必使你比你的祖先更幸福，更眾多。
6 And your God YHWH has circumcised your heart and the heart of your seed, to love your God YHWH with all your heart and with all your soul, for the sake of your life;
那時，上主你的天主必在你的心上，和你後裔的心上行割損，叫你全心全靈愛慕上主你的天主，使你得以生存。
7 and your God YHWH has put all this oath on your enemies and on those hating you, who have pursued you.
上主你的天主必將這一切詛咒，加在迫害你的仇人和敵人身上。
8 And you turn back, and have listened to the voice of YHWH, and have done all His commands which I am commanding you today;
從此，你必再聽從上主的話，遵行我今天吩咐你的一切誡命。
9 and your God YHWH has made you abundant in every work of your hand, in the fruit of your body, and in the fruit of your livestock, and in the fruit of your ground, for good; for YHWH turns back to rejoice over you for good, as He rejoiced over your fathers,
上主你的天主必使你做的一切事，你身所生的、牲畜所出的、田地所產的，都順利興旺，因為上主要再喜歡你，使你享福，如他以前喜歡你的祖先一樣，
10 for you listen to the voice of your God YHWH, to keep His commands and His statutes which are written in the scroll of this law, for you turn back to your God YHWH with all your heart and with all your soul.
只要你聽從上主你天主的話，謹守這法律書上所記載的誡命和法令；只要你全心全靈回頭，歸向上主你的天主。
11 For this command which I am commanding you today, it is not too wonderful for you, nor [is] it far off.
其實，我今天吩咐你的這誡命，為你並不太難，也不是達不到的。
12 It is not in the heavens, saying, Who goes up into the heavens for us, and takes it for us, and causes us to hear it, that we may do it?
這誡命不在天上，以致你能說：「誰能為我們上到天上，給我們取下，使我們聽了好能遵行呢﹖」
13 And it [is] not beyond the sea, saying, Who passes over beyond the sea for us, and takes it for us, and causes us to hear it, that we may do it?
也不在海外，以致你能說：「誰能為我們渡到海外，給我們取來，使我們聽了好能遵行呢﹖」
14 For the word is very near to you, in your mouth, and in your heart—to do it.
其實，這話離你很近，就在你口裏，就在你心裏，使你遵行。
15 See, today I have set before you life and good, and death and evil,
你看，我今天將生命與幸福，死亡與災禍，都擺在你面前，
16 in that today I am commanding you to love your God YHWH, to walk in His ways, and to keep His commands, and His statutes, and His judgments; and you have lived and multiplied, and your God YHWH has blessed you in the land to where you are going in to possess it.
如果你遵行我今天吩咐你的，上主你天主的誡命：愛慕上主你的天主，履行他的道路，謹守他的誡命、法令和規定，你必能生活繁榮，上主你的天主在要去佔領的地上，必要祝福你。
17 And if your heart turns, and you do not listen, and have been drawn away, and have bowed yourself to other gods and served them,
但是，如果你心中叛離，不願聽從，被人引去敬拜事奉其他的神，
18 I have declared to you this day that you certainly perish, you do not prolong days on the ground which you are passing over the Jordan to go in there to possess it.
我今天警告你們：你們必要滅亡，在你渡過約但河去佔領的土地上，決不能久存。
19 I have caused the heavens and the earth to testify against you today—I have set before you life and death, the blessing and the reviling, and you have fixed on life, so that you live, you and your seed,
我今天指著天地向你們作證：我已將生命與死亡，祝福與詛咒，都擺在你面前；你要選擇生命，為叫你和你的後裔得以生存；
20 to love your God YHWH, to listen to His voice, and to cleave to Him (for He [is] your life and the length of your days), to dwell on the ground which YHWH has sworn to your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give to them.”
你應愛慕上主你的天主，聽從他的話，完全依賴他；因為這樣你纔能生活，纔能久存，纔能住在上主向你的祖先亞巴郎、依撒格和雅各伯誓許要給他們的土地上。
