< 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.
You shall observe to do all the commands which I charge you today, that you may live and be multiplied, and enter in and inherit the land, which the Lord your God sware [to give] to your fathers.
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.
And you shall remember all the way which the Lord your God led you in the wilderness, that he might afflict you, and try you, and that the things in your heart might be made manifest, whether you would keep his commandments or no.
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.
And he afflicted you and straitened you with hunger, and fed you with manna, which your fathers knew not; that he might teach you that man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God shall man live.
4 Clothing your not it wore out from on you and foot your not it swelled this forty year[s].
Your garments grew not old from off you, your shoes were not worn from off you, your feet were not [painfully] hardened, behold! these forty years.
5 And you will know with heart your that just as he disciplines everyone child his Yahweh God your [is] disciplining you.
And you shall know in your heart, that as if any man should chasten his son, so the Lord your God will chasten you.
6 And you will keep [the] commandments of Yahweh God your by walking in ways his and by fearing him.
And you shall keep the commands of the Lord your God, to walk in his ways, and to fear him.
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.
For the Lord your God will bring you into a good and extensive land, where there are torrents of waters, and fountains of deep places issuing through the plains and through the mountains:
8 A land of wheat and barley and vine and fig tree and pomegranate a land of olive tree of oil and honey.
a land of wheat and barley, [wherein are] vines, figs, pomegranates; a land of olive oil and honey;
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.
a land on which you shall not eat your bread with poverty, and you shall not lack any thing upon it; a land whose stones are iron, and out of its mountains you shall dig brass.
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.
And you shall eat and be filled, and shall bless the Lord your God on the good land, which he has given you.
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.
Take heed to yourself that you forget not the Lord your God, so as not to keep his commands, and his judgments, and ordinances, which I command you this day:
12 Lest you should eat and you will be satisfied and houses good you will build and you will dwell.
lest when you have eaten and are full, and have built goodly houses, and lived in them;
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.
and your oxen and your sheep are multiplied to you, and your silver and your gold are multiplied to you, and all your possessions are multiplied to you,
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.
you should be exalted in heart, and forget the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage:
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.
who brought you through that great and terrible wilderness, where [is] the biting serpent, and scorpion, and drought, where there was no water; who brought you a fountain of water out of the flinty rock:
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.
who fed you with manna in the wilderness, which you knew not, and your fathers knew not; that he might afflict you, and thoroughly try you, and do you good in your latter days.
17 And you will say in heart your strength my and [the] might of hand my it has acquired for me the wealth this.
Lest you should say in your heart, My strength, and the power of mine hand have wrought for me this great wealth.
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.
But you shall remember the Lord your God, that he gives you strength to get wealth; even that he may establish his covenant, which the Lord sware to your fathers, as at this day.
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!
And it shall come to pass if you do at all forget the Lord your God, and should go after other gods, and serve them, and worship them, I call heaven and earth to witness against you this day, that you shall surely perish.
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.
As also the other nations which the Lord God destroys before your face, so shall you perish, because you listened not to the voice of the Lord your God.
