Deuteronomy 8
1 All the commandment which I [am] commanding you this day you will take care! to observe so that you may live! and you will increase and you will go and you will take possession of the land which he swore Yahweh to ancestors your.
我今日吩咐你的一切誡命，你們應謹守遵行，好使你們生存，人數增多，能去佔領上主向你們的祖先所誓許的地方。
2 And you will remember all the way which he led you Yahweh God your this forty year[s] in the wilderness so as to humble you to put to [the] test you to know [that] which [was] in heart your ¿ will you keep (commandments his *Q(K)*) or? not.
你當記念上主你的天主使你這四十年在曠野中所走的路程，是為磨難你，試探你，願知道你的心懷，是否願遵守他的誡命。
3 And he humbled you and he caused to hunger you and he caused to eat you (*L(abh)*) the manna which not you had known and not they had known! ancestors your so as to make know you that not on the bread by only it he lives humankind for on every utterance of [the] mouth of Yahweh he lives humankind.
他磨難了你，使你感到饑餓，卻以你和你祖先所不認識的「瑪納，」養育了你，叫你知道人生活不但靠食物，而且也靠上主口中所發的一切言語生活。
4 Clothing your not it wore out from on you and foot your not it swelled this forty year[s].
這四十年來，你身上的衣服沒有穿破，你的腳也沒有腫。
5 And you will know with heart your that just as he disciplines everyone child his Yahweh God your [is] disciplining you.
為此，你要明瞭：上主你的天主管教你，如人管教自己的兒子一樣；
6 And you will keep [the] commandments of Yahweh God your by walking in ways his and by fearing him.
所以你當謹守上主你天主的誡命，遵行他的道路，敬畏他。
7 For Yahweh God your [will] bring you into a land good a land of torrents of water springs and deeps [which] go forth in the valley and on the mountain.
因為上主你的天主快要領你進入肥美的土地，那裏有溪流，有泉水，有深淵之水由谷中和山中流出；
8 A land of wheat and barley and vine and fig tree and pomegranate a land of olive tree of oil and honey.
那地出產小麥、大麥、葡萄、無花果和石榴；那地出產橄欖、油和蜂蜜；
9 A land which not in scarcity you will eat in it food not you will lack anything in it a land which stones its [are] iron and from hills its you will dig copper.
在那地你決不缺糧吃，在那裏你將一無所缺；那地方的石頭是鐵，由山中可以採銅。
10 And you will eat and you will be satisfied and you will bless Yahweh God your on the land good which he has given to you.
幾時你吃飽了，應感謝上主你的天主，因為是他賜給你這樣肥美的土地。
11 Take heed to yourself lest you should forget Yahweh God your to not to keep commandments his and judgments his and statutes his which I [am] commanding you this day.
你應小心，別忘記上主你的天主，而不遵守我今天吩咐你的誡命、規則和法令。
12 Lest you should eat and you will be satisfied and houses good you will build and you will dwell.
當你吃飽了，建造了華美房屋居住，
13 And herd your and flock your they will increase! and silver and gold it will increase of you and all that [belongs] to you it will increase.
牛群羊群加多，金銀增加，你所有的一切都增加了，
14 And it will be lifted up heart your and you will forget Yahweh God your who brought out you from [the] land of Egypt from a house of slaves.
你要小心，不要心高氣傲，以致忘記了由埃及地，由為奴之家，領你出來的上主你的天主，
15 Who led you in the wilderness - great and awesome snake - fiery and scorpion and thirsty ground where there not [was] water who brought forth for you water from [the] rock of flint.
是他領你經過了遼闊可怖，有火蛇蝎子的曠野，經過了乾旱無水之地；是他使水由堅硬的磐石中為你流出，
16 Who caused to eat you manna in the wilderness which not they had known! ancestors your so as to humble you and so as to put to [the] test you to do good to you in end your.
是他在曠野內，以你祖先不認識的「瑪納」養育了你；他這樣磨難你，試探你，終究是為使你獲得幸福。
17 And you will say in heart your strength my and [the] might of hand my it has acquired for me the wealth this.
你心裏不要想：「這是我的力量，我手臂的能力，給我造就了這樣的財富。」
18 And you will remember Yahweh God your that he [is] the [one who] gives to you strength to acquire wealth so as to carry out covenant his which he swore to ancestors your as the day this.
你應記得上主你的天主，因為是他賜給你得財富的能力，為實踐他對你祖先起誓訂立的盟約，就如今日一樣。
19 And it will be certainly [if] you will forget Yahweh God your and you will walk after gods other and you will serve them and you will bow down to them I testify against you this day that certainly you will perish!
如果你真忘記了上主你的天主，而隨從別的神，奉事敬拜他們，我今日對你們作證：你們必要滅亡，
20 Like the nations which Yahweh [is] about to destroy from before you so you will perish! consequence not you will listen! to [the] voice of Yahweh God your.
上主怎樣由你們面前毀滅了那些民族，你們也要怎樣遭受毀滅，因為你們沒有聽從上主你們天主的聲音。
