Deuteronomy 6
1 This, then is the commandment—[namely] the statutes and the regulations, which Yahweh your God hath commanded to teach you, —that ye may do them in the land whither ye are passing over to possess it:
以下是上主你們的天主吩咐我教給你們的誡命、法令和規則，叫你們在過河後去佔領的地內遵行，
2 that thou mayest revere Yahweh thy God, [so as] to keep all his statutes and his commandments which I am commanding thee, thou and thy son and thy sons’ son, all the days of thy life, —and that thy days may be prolonged.
好使你和你的子子孫孫，終生日日敬畏上主你的天主，遵守我吩咐你的一切法令和誡命，使你獲享長壽。
3 Therefore shalt thou hear, O Israel, and shalt observe to do, that it may be well with thee, and that ye may multiply greatly, as Yahweh the God of thy fathers hath spoken to thee, in a land flowing with milk and honey.
以色列! 你要聽，且謹守遵行，好使你在流奶流蜜的地方，獲得幸福，人數增多，如上主你祖先的天主所許給你的。
4 Hear, O Israel: Yahweh, is our God, —Yahweh alone.
以色列! 你要聽：上主我們的天主，是唯一的上主。
5 Thou shalt therefore love Yahweh thy God, —with all thy heart and with all thy soul, and with all thy might;
你當全心、全靈、全力，愛上主你的天主。
6 so shall these words which I am commanding thee to-day, be upon thy heart;
我今天吩咐你的這些話，你應牢記在心，
7 and thou shalt impress them upon thy sons, and shalt speak of them, —when thou sittest in thy house and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down and when thou risest up;
並將這些話灌輸給你的子女。不論你住在家裏，或在路上行走，或臥或立，常應講論這些話；
8 and thou shalt bind them for a sign upon thy hand, —and they shall serve for bands between thine eyes;
又該繫在你的手上，當作標記；懸在額上，當作徽號；
9 and thou shalt write them upon the posts of thy house and within thy gates.
刻在你住宅的門框上和門扇上。
10 So shall it be, when Yahweh thy God shall bring thee into the land, which he sware to thy fathers—to Abraham to Isaac and to Jacob to give unto thee, —into cities great and goodly, which thou didst not build;
上主你的天主，幾時領你進入他向你的祖先亞巴郎、依撒格和雅各伯起誓，要賜給你的地方，那裏有高大壯觀的城邑，而不是你所建造的；
11 and houses full of all good things, which thou filledst not, and hewn cisterns which thou hewedst not, vineyards and oliveyards which thou plantedst not, —and shalt eat and be full,
有充滿各樣寶物的住宅，而不是你裝滿的；有蓄水池，而不是你挖掘的；有葡萄園和橄欖樹林，而不是你栽植的；──當你吃飽時，
12 take heed unto thyself, lest thou forget Yahweh, —who brought thee forth out of the land of Egypt out of the house of servants.
你應留心，不要忘了領你由埃及地，為奴之家，出來的上主。
13 Yahweh thy God, shalt thou revere And him, shalt thou serve, —And by his name, shalt thou swear.
你要敬畏上主你的天主，只事奉他，只以他的名起誓。
14 Ye shall not go after other gods, —of the gods of the peoples who are surrounding you;
不可追隨別的神，即你們四周民族的神，
15 for a jealous GOD, is Yahweh thy God in thy midst, —lest the anger of Yahweh thy God kindle upon thee, and so he destroy thee from off the face of the ground.
因為在你中間的上主你的天主，是忌邪的天主，免得上主你的天主發怒，將你由地上消滅。
16 Ye shall not put Yahweh your God to the proof, —as ye put him to the proof in Massah [that is, "The place of proving"].
你們不可試探上主你們的天主，如同在瑪撒試探了他一樣。
17 Ye shall, keep, the commandments of Yahweh your God and his testimonies and his statutes which he hath commanded thee;
應謹慎遵守上主你們天主所吩咐你的誡命、教訓和法令。
18 so shalt thou do what is right and what is pleasing in the eyes of Yahweh, —that it may be well with thee, and thou mayest enter in and possess the good land, which Yahweh sware unto thy fathers;
應做上主眼中視為正義和美善的事，使你能獲得幸福，能去佔領上主誓許與你祖先的那塊肥美的土地，
19 to thrust out all thine enemies from before thee, —As spake Yahweh.
能由你面前驅逐你的一切仇敵，如上主所應許的。
20 When thy son shall ask thee in time to come, saying, —What mean the testimonies and the statutes and the regulations, which Yahweh our God commanded you?
假使日後你的兒子問你說：「上主我們的天主吩咐你們的這些教訓、法令和規則，究竟有什麼意思﹖」
21 Then shalt thou say unto thy son, Servants, were we unto Pharaoh in Egypt, —and Yahweh brought us forth out of Egypt with a firm hand;
你應對你的兒子說：我們曾在埃及作過法郎的奴隸，上主卻以大能的手將我們由埃及領了出來。
22 and Yahweh put forth signs and wonders great and sore upon Egypt upon Pharaoh and upon all his household before our eyes;
上主在我們的眼前，對埃及，對法郎和他全家，行了轟轟烈烈的神蹟和奇事；
23 but he brought us forth from thence, —that he might bring us in, to give unto us the land, which he sware unto our fathers.
將我們從那裏領出來，領我們進入他誓許給我們的祖先，要賜給我們的土地。
24 So then Yahweh commanded us to do all these statutes, to revere Yahweh our God, —for our good, all the days, to preserve us alive (as at this day);
那時，上主吩咐我們遵行這一切法令，為敬畏上主我們的天主，為使我們時時得享幸福，得保生命，就如今日一樣。
25 and righteousness, shall it be to us, —when we take heed to do all this commandment, before Yahweh our God, as he commanded us.
我們在上主我們的天主面前，照他所吩咐我們的，謹慎遵行這一切誡命，就是我們的義德。
