that you might fear Adonai your God, to keep all his statutes and his mitzvot ·instructions·, which I enjoin you; you, and your son, and your son’s son, all the days of your life; and that your days may be prolonged.

3 And you will hear O Israel and you will take care to observe [them] that it will go well for you and that you will increase! exceedingly just as he spoke Yahweh [the] God of ancestors your to you a land flowing of milk and honey.

6 And they will be the words these which I [am] commanding you this day on heart your.

These words, which I enjoin you today, shall be on your heart;

7 And you will repeat them to children your and you will speak in them when sitting you in house your and when walking you on the road and when lying down you and when rising up you.

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.

8 And you will tie them for a sign on hand your and they will be for marks between eyes your.

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

9 And you will write them on [the] doorposts of house your and on gates your.

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

10 And it will be that he will bring you - Yahweh God your into the land which he swore to ancestors your to Abraham to Isaac and to Jacob to give to you cities large and good which not you built.

It shall be, when Adonai your God brings you into the land which he swore to your fathers, to Abraham [Father of a multitude], to Isaac [Laughter], and to Jacob [Supplanter], to give you, great and goodly cities, which you didn’t build,

11 And houses full every good thing which not you filled and wells dug out which not you dug vineyards and olive trees which not you planted and you will eat and you will be satisfied.

and houses full of all good things, which you didn’t fill, and cisterns dug out, which you didn’t dig, vineyards and olive trees, which you didn’t plant, and you shall eat and be full;

12 Take heed to yourself lest you should forget Yahweh who he brought out you from [the] land of Egypt from a house of slaves.

then beware lest you forget Adonai, who brought you out of the land of Egypt [Abode of slavery], out of the house of bondage.

13 Yahweh God your you will fear and him you will serve and in name his you will swear oaths.

You shall fear Adonai your God; and you shall abad ·serve· him, and shall swear by his name.

14 Not you will walk! after gods other any of [the] gods of the peoples which [are] around you.

for Adonai your God among you is El Kana' [Jealous God]; lest the anger of Adonai your God be kindled against you, and he destroy you from off the face of the earth.

16 Not you will put to [the] test Yahweh God your just as you put [him] to [the] test at Massah.

You shall not tempt Adonai your God, as you tempted him in Massah [Testing].

17 Certainly you will keep! [the] commandments of Yahweh God your and testimonies his and statutes his which he has commanded you.

You shall diligently keep the mitzvot ·instructions· of Adonai your God, and his testimonies, and his statutes, which he has enjoined you.

18 And you will do the right and the good in [the] eyes of Yahweh so that it may go well for you and you will go and you will take possession of the land good which he swore Yahweh to ancestors your.

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

19 To drive out all enemies your from before you just as he has spoken Yahweh.

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

20 If he will ask you child your tomorrow saying what? [are] the testimonies and the statutes and the judgments which he commanded Yahweh God our you.

Some day when your child asks you in time to come, saying, “What do the testimonies, the statutes, and the judgments, which Yahweh Eloheikhem [Yahweh our God] has enjoined you mean?”

21 And you will say to child your slaves we were of Pharaoh in Egypt and he brought out us Yahweh from Egypt by a hand strong.

then you shall tell your child, “We were Pharaoh’s slaves in Egypt [Abode of slavery]. Adonai brought us out of Egypt [Abode of slavery] with a mighty hand;

22 And he gave Yahweh signs and wonders great and bad - on Egypt on Pharaoh and on all household his to eyes our.

and Adonai showed great and awesome signs and wonders on Egypt [Abode of slavery], on Pharaoh, and on all his house, before our eyes;

23 And us he brought out from there so as to bring us to give to us the land which he swore to ancestors our.

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

24 And he commanded us Yahweh to observe all the statutes these to fear Yahweh God our for good of us all the days to preserve alive us as the day this.

Adonai enjoined us to do all these statutes, to fear Yahweh Eloheikhem [Yahweh our God], for our good always, that he might preserve us alive, as we are today.

25 And righteousness it will belong to us that we will take care to observe all the commandment this before Yahweh God our just as he commanded us.

It shall be righteousness to us, if we observe to do all this mitzvot ·instructions· before Yahweh Eloheikhem [Yahweh our God], as he has enjoined us.”
