Deuteronomy 30
1 And it shall come to pass, when all these things shall come in upon thee—the blessing and the curse, which I have set before thee, —and thou shalt bring them back unto thy heart among all the nations whither Yahweh thy God hath driven thee;
「我所陳明在你面前的這一切咒詛都臨到你身上；你在耶和華－你上帝追趕你到的萬國中必心裏追念祝福的話；
2 and thou shalt return unto Yahweh thy God and shalt hearken unto his voice, according to all that I am commanding thee to-day, —thou and thy sons, with all thy heart, and with all thy soul,
你和你的子孫若盡心盡性歸向耶和華－你的上帝，照着我今日一切所吩咐的聽從他的話；
3 then will Yahweh thy God bring back thy captivity and have compassion upon thee, —and return and gather thee from among all the peoples whither Yahweh thy God hath scattered thee.
那時，耶和華－你的上帝必憐恤你，救回你這被擄的子民；耶和華－你的上帝要回轉過來，從分散你到的萬民中將你招聚回來。
4 Though thou be driven out unto the utmost part of the heavens, from thence, will Yahweh thy God gather thee, and, from thence will he fetch thee;
你被趕散的人，就是在天涯的，耶和華－你的上帝也必從那裏將你招聚回來。
5 and Yahweh 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 beyond thy fathers.
耶和華－你的上帝必領你進入你列祖所得的地，使你可以得着；又必善待你，使你的人數比你列祖眾多。
6 And Yahweh thy God will circumcise thy heart, and the heart of thy seed, —to love Yahweh thy God with all thy heart and with all thy soul, that thou mayest live.
耶和華－你上帝必將你心裏和你後裔心裏的污穢除掉，好叫你盡心盡性愛耶和華－你的上帝，使你可以存活。
7 And Yahweh thy God will put all these oaths upon thine enemies and upon them who hated thee who persecuted thee.
耶和華－你的上帝必將這一切咒詛加在你仇敵和恨惡你、逼迫你的人身上。
8 But, thou, wilt return, and hearken unto the voice of Yahweh, —and wilt do all his commandments, which I am commanding thee, to-day,
你必歸回，聽從耶和華的話，遵行他的一切誡命，就是我今日所吩咐你的。
9 And Yahweh thy God will make thee pre-eminent, in every work of thy hand—in the fruit of thy body, and in the fruit of thy cattle and in the fruit of thy ground, for good, —for Yahweh will again rejoice over thee for good, as he rejoiced over thy fathers:
你若聽從耶和華－你上帝的話，謹守這律法書上所寫的誡命律例，又盡心盡性歸向耶和華－你的上帝，他必使你手裏所辦的一切事，並你身所生的，牲畜所下的，地土所產的，都綽綽有餘；因為耶和華必再喜悅你，降福與你，像從前喜悅你列祖一樣。
10 if thou hearken unto the voice of Yahweh thy God, to keep his commandments, and his statutes, which are written in this scroll of the law, —if thou return unto Yahweh thy God, with all thy heart and with all thy soul.
11 For as touching this commandment, which I am commanding thee to-day, it is not, too wonderful, for thee, neither is it far off.
「我今日所吩咐你的誡命不是你難行的，也不是離你遠的；
12 It is, not in the heavens, —that thou shouldest say—Who shall ascend for us into the heavens that he may fetch it for us, that we may hear it, and do it?
不是在天上，使你說：『誰替我們上天取下來，使我們聽見可以遵行呢？』
13 Neither is it, over the sea, —that thou shouldest say, Who will pass over for us to the other side of the sea, that he may fetch it for us, that we may hear it, and do it?
也不是在海外，使你說：『誰替我們過海取了來，使我們聽見可以遵行呢？』
14 But, near unto thee, is the word, exceedingly, —in thy mouth and in thy heart, that thou mayest do it.
這話卻離你甚近，就在你口中，在你心裏，使你可以遵行。
15 See! I have set before thee, to-day, life and prosperity, —and death and calamity;
「看哪，我今日將生與福，死與禍，陳明在你面前。
16 for thou must keep the commandments of Yahweh thy God which I am commanding thee to-day, to love Yahweh thy God, to walk in his ways, and to keep his commandments and his statutes, and his regulations, —so shalt thou live and multiply, and Yahweh thy God will bless thee, in the land which thou art entering to possess.
吩咐你愛耶和華－你的上帝，遵行他的道，謹守他的誡命、律例、典章，使你可以存活，人數增多，耶和華－你上帝就必在你所要進去得為業的地上賜福與你。
17 But, if thy heart shall turn away, and thou wilt, not hearken, —but shalt be drawn away, and shalt bow thyself down to other gods and serve them,
倘若你心裏偏離，不肯聽從，卻被勾引去敬拜事奉別神，
18 I declare unto you, to-day, that ye shall perish, —ye shall not prolong your days, upon the soil which thou art passing over the Jordan to enter and possess.
我今日明明告訴你們，你們必要滅亡；在你過約旦河、進去得為業的地上，你的日子必不長久。
19 I call to witness against you to-day, the heavens and the earth, that life and death, have I set before thee, the blessing and the curse, —therefore shouldest thou choose life, that thou mayest live, thou and thy seed;
我今日呼天喚地向你作見證；我將生死禍福陳明在你面前，所以你要揀選生命，使你和你的後裔都得存活；
20 to love Yahweh thy God, to hearken unto his voice, and to cleave unto him, —for, he, is thy life, and thy length of days, that thou mayest abide upon the soil which Yahweh sware to thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac and to Jacob, to give unto them.
且愛耶和華－你的上帝，聽從他的話，專靠他；因為他是你的生命，你的日子長久也在乎他。這樣，你就可以在耶和華向你列祖亞伯拉罕、以撒、雅各起誓應許所賜的地上居住。」
