Deuteronomy 30
1 And it shall come to pass, when all these things are come upon thee, the blessing and the curse, which I have set before thee, and thou shalt call them to mind among all the nations, whither the LORD thy God hath driven thee,
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 shalt return unto the LORD thy God, and shalt obey his voice according to all that I command thee this day, thou and thy children, with all thine heart, and with all thy 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 that then the LORD thy God will turn thy captivity, and have compassion upon thee, and will return and gather thee from all the peoples, whither the LORD thy God hath scattered thee.
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 [any of] thine outcasts be in the uttermost parts of heaven, from thence will the LORD thy God gather thee, and from thence will he fetch thee:
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 the LORD thy God will bring thee into the land which thy fathers possessed, and thou shalt possess it; and he will do thee good, and multiply thee above thy 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 the LORD thy God will circumcise thine heart, and the heart of thy seed, to love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, that thou mayest live.
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 the LORD thy God will put all these curses upon thine enemies, and on them that hate thee, which persecuted thee.
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 thou shalt return and obey the voice of the LORD, and do all his commandments which I command thee this day.
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 the LORD thy God will make thee plenteous in all the work of thine hand, in the fruit of thy body, and in the fruit of thy cattle, and in the fruit of thy ground, for good: for the LORD will again rejoice over thee for good, as he rejoiced over thy 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 if thou shalt obey the voice of the LORD thy God, to keep his commandments and his statutes which are written in this book of the law; if thou turn unto the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy 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 commandment which I command thee this day, it is not too hard for thee, neither 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 heaven, that thou shouldest say, Who shall go up for us to heaven, and bring it unto us, and make 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 Neither is it beyond the sea, that thou shouldest say, Who shall go over the sea for us, and bring it unto us, and make 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 But the word is very nigh unto thee, in thy mouth, and in thy heart, that thou mayest 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, I have set before thee this day 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 I command thee this day to love the LORD thy God, to walk in his ways, and to keep his commandments and his statutes and his judgments, that thou mayest live and multiply, and that the LORD thy God may bless thee in the land whither thou goest 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 But if thine heart turn away, and thou wilt not hear, but shalt be drawn away, and worship other gods, and serve 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 denounce unto you this day, that ye shall surely perish; ye shall not prolong your days upon the land, whither thou passest over Jordan to go in 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 call heaven and earth to witness against you this day, that I have set before thee life and death, the blessing and the curse: therefore choose life, that thou mayest live, thou and thy 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 the LORD thy God, to obey his voice, and to cleave unto him: for he is thy life, and the length of thy days: that thou mayest dwell in the land which the LORD sware unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give 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。
