Deuteronomy 6

1 Now this is the commandment, the statutes, and the ordinances, which YHWH your God commanded to teach you, that you might do them in the land where you go over to possess it;

These ben the comaundementis, and cerymonyes, and domes, whiche youre Lord God comaundide that Y schulde teche you, and that ye do tho in the lond to which ye passen ouer to welde;

2 that you might fear YHWH your God, to keep all his statutes and his commandments, which I command you, you, and your son, and your son's son, all the days of your life; and that your days may be prolonged.

that thou drede thi Lord God, and kepe alle hise comaundementis, and heestis, whiche Y comaunde to thee, and to thi sones, and sones of sones, in alle the daies of thi lijf, that thi daies be lengthid.

3 Hear therefore, Israel, and observe to do it; that it may be well with you, and that you may increase mightily, as YHWH, the God of your fathers, has promised to you, in a land flowing with milk and honey.

Thou Israel, here, and kepe, that thou do tho thingis whiche the Lord comaundide to thee, and that it be wel to thee, and thou be multiplied more, as the Lord God of thi fadris bihiyte, to yyue to thee a lond flowynge with mylk and hony.

4 Hear, Israel: YHWH is our God, YHWH is one.

Thou Israel, here, thi Lord God is o God.

5 And you shall love YHWH your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your might.

Thou schalt loue thi Lord God of al thin herte, and of al thi soule, and of al thi strengthe.

6 These words, which I command you this day, shall be on your heart;

And these wordis whiche Y comaunde to thee to dai, schulen be in thin herte;

7 and you shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, and when you walk by the way, and when you lie down, and when you rise up.

and thou schalt telle tho to thi sones, and thou schalt thenke on tho, sittynge in thin hows, and goynge in the weie, slepynge, and rysinge.

8 You shall bind them for a sign on your hand, and they shall be for symbols between your eyes.

And thou schalt bynde tho as a signe in thin hond; and tho schulen be, and schulen be moued bifor thin iyen; and thou schalt write tho in the lyntel,

9 You shall write them on the door posts of your house, and on your gates.

and in the doris of thin hows.

10 It shall be, when YHWH your God shall bring you into the land which he swore to your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give you, great and goodly cities, which you did not build,

And whanne thi Lord God hath brouyt thee in to the lond, for which he swoor to thi fadris, to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and hath youe to thee grete citees, and beeste, whiche thou bildidist not,

11 and houses full of all good things, which you did not fill, and cisterns dug out, which you did not dig, vineyards and olive trees, which you did not plant, and you shall eat and be full;

housis fulle of alle richessis, whiche thou madist not, and cisternes, which thou diggedist not, `places of vynes, and `places of olyues, whiche thou plauntidist not,

12 then beware lest you forget YHWH, who brought you forth out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.

and thou hast ete, and art fillid,

13 You shall fear YHWH your God; and you shall serve him only, and you shall cling to him, and take oaths by his name.

be war diligentli, lest thou foryete the Lord, that ladde thee out of the lond of Egipt, fro the hows of seruage. Thou schalt drede thi Lord God, and thou schalt serue hym aloone, `bi seruyce due to God onely, and thou schalt swere bi his name.

14 You shall not go after other gods, of the gods of the peoples who are around you;

Ye schulen not go aftir alien goddis, of alle hethen men that ben `in youre cumpas;

15 for YHWH your God in the midst of you is a jealous God; lest the anger of YHWH your God be kindled against you, and he destroy you from off the face of the earth.

for God is a feruent louyere, thi Lord God is in the myddis of thee, lest ony tyme the `strong veniaunce of thi Lord God be wrooth ayens thee, and do awei thee fro `the face of the erthe.

16 Do not test YHWH your God, as you tested him at Massah.

Thou schalt not tempte thi Lord God, as thou temptidist in the place of temptyng.

17 You shall diligently keep the commandments of YHWH your God, and his testimonies, and his statutes, which he has commanded you.

Kepe thou the comaundementis of thi Lord God, and the witnessyngis, and cerymonyes, whiche he comaundide to thee;

18 You shall do that which is right and good in the sight of YHWH; that it may be well with you, and that you may go in and possess the good land which YHWH swore to your fathers,

and do thou that that is plesaunt and good in the siyt of the Lord, that it be wel to thee, and that thou entre, and welde the beste lond, of which the Lord swoor to thi fadris,

19 to thrust out all your enemies from before you, as YHWH has spoken.

that he schulde do awey alle thin enemyes bifor thee, as he spak.

20 When your son asks you in time to come, saying, "What do the testimonies, the statutes, and the ordinances, which YHWH our God has commanded you mean?"

And whanne thi sone schal axe thee to morewe, that is, in tyme comyng, and schal seie, What wolen these witnessyngis, and cerymonyes, and domes to hem silf, whiche oure Lord God comaundide to vs?

21 then you shall tell your son, "We were Pharaoh's bondservants in Egypt: and YHWH brought us out of Egypt with a mighty hand;

thou schalt seie to hym, We weren `seruauntis of Farao in Egipt, and the Lord ledde vs out of Egipt, in strong hond;

22 and YHWH showed great and awesome signs and wonders on Egypt, on Pharaoh, and on all his house, before our eyes;

and he dide myraclis, and grete wondris, and werste, `that is, moost peyneful veniaunces, in Egipt, ayens Farao and al his hows, in oure siyt.

23 and he brought us out from there, that he might bring us in, to give us the land which he swore to our fathers.

And he ledde vs out therof, that he schulde yyue to vs led yn, the lond of which he swoor to oure fadris.

24 YHWH commanded us to do all these statutes, to fear YHWH our God, for our good always, that he might preserve us alive, as at this day.

And the Lord comaundide to vs, that we do alle these lawful thingis, and drede oure Lord God, that it be wel to vs in alle the daies of oure lijf, as it is to dai.

25 It shall be righteousness to us, if we observe to do all this commandment before YHWH our God, as he has commanded us."

And he schal be merciful to vs, if we schulen do and kepe alle hise heestis, bifor oure Lord God, as he comaundide to vs.
