Deuteronomy 8
1 “You must faithfully obey all the commandments that I am giving you today. If you do that, you will live [a long time], you will become very numerous, and you will occupy the land that Yahweh solemnly promised your ancestors that he would give [to you].
Dapat ninyong sundin ang lahat ng mga utos na ibibigay ko sa inyo ngayon, para mabuhay kayo at lumago, at pasukin at ariin ang lupain na ipinangako ni Yahweh sa inyong mga ama.
2 And do not forget how Yahweh our God led us as we traveled through the desert during these past 40 years. He [caused you to have many problems/difficulties], because he wanted to cause you to realize that you needed to trust him and not yourselves. And he wanted to test you, to find out what you intended to do [IDM], whether you would obey his commandments or not.
Isasa-isip ninyo ang lahat ng mga kaparaanan ni Yahweh na inyong Diyos na nagdala sa inyo ng apatnapung taon sa ilang, para kayo ay ibaba niya, para subukin niya kayo para malaman kung ano ang nasa inyong puso, kung susundin ninyo ang kaniyang mga utos o hindi.
3 So he caused you to have/experience difficulties. He allowed you to become hungry. Then he gave you manna [food from heaven], food that you and your ancestors had never eaten before. He did that to teach you that people need food [for their bodies]; but [they also need food for their spirits, which comes from paying attention to] everything that Yahweh says [MTY].
Ibinaba niya kayo, at ginutom, at pinakain kayo ng manna, na hindi ninyo alam kung ano, ni ng inyong mga ninuno, ni ng inyong mga ama. Ginawa niya ang mga iyon para malaman ninyo na ang mga tao ay hindi lamang nabubuhay sa tinapay, kung hindi, ito ay sa pamamagitan ng bawat salita na nagmumula sa bibig ni Yahweh kaya nabubuhay ang mga tao.
4 During those 40 years [of walking through the desert], our clothes did not wear out and our feet did not swell [from walking a very long way through the desert].
Ang inyong kasuotan ay hindi naluluma sa inyo, at hindi namaga ang inyong mga paa sa loob ng apatnapung taong iyon.
5 Do not forget that Yahweh our God disciplines us, like parents discipline their children.
Pag-isipan ninyo sa inyong puso, kung paano, bilang isang amang tinutuwid ang kaniyang anak, kaya tinutuwid kayo ni Yahweh na inyong Diyos.
6 “Do obey the commandments of Yahweh our God, and conduct your lives as he wants you to do, and revere him.
Susundin ninyo ang mga utos ni Yahweh na inyong Diyos, para kayo ay lumakad sa kaniyang mga pamamaraan at parangalan siya.
7 He is about to bring you into a good/fertile land, which has streams which flow down from the hills and pour/flow out of springs in the valleys.
Dahil dadalhin kayo ni Yahweh na inyong Diyos sa mabuting lupain, isang lupain ng mga batis ng tubig, ng mga bukal at mga talon, na umaagos sa mga lambak at sa mga burol;
8 It is a land on which wheat and barley grow, a land where there are fig trees and pomegranates, and a land where there are olive trees and honey.
isang lupain ng trigo at sebada, ng mga puno ng ubas, mga puno ng igos, at mga granada; isang lupain ng mga punong olibo at pulot.
9 It is a land where there will be plenty of food for you, where you will (not lack anything/have everything that you need) [LIT], a land which has iron [ore] in its rocks and from which you can dig copper [ore] from its hills.
Ito ay isang lupain kung saan makakakain kayo ng tinapay nang hindi nagkukulang, at kung saan walang magkukulang sa inyo; isang lupain na ang mga bato ay gawa sa bakal, at mula sa kaniyang mga burol maaari kayong makahukay ng tanso.
10 [Every day] you will eat until your stomachs are full, and you will thank Yahweh our God for the fertile/good land that he has given you.
Makakakain kayo at mabubusog, at pagpapalain ninyo si Yahweh na inyong Diyos dahil sa mabuting lupain na ibinigay niya sa inyo.
11 But, [when that happens], be sure not to forget Yahweh our God by disobeying his commandments and rules and regulations that I am giving to you today.
Maging maingat na hindi ninyo makalimutan si Yahweh na inyong Diyos, at para hindi ninyo ipagwalang bahala ang kaniyang mga utos, at kaniyang mga alituntunin, at kanyang mga batas na aking iniutos sa inyo ngayon.
12 When your stomachs are full [every day], and when you have built good houses and are living in them,
Para hindi ito mangyari na, kapag kumain kayo at mabusog, at kapag magtatayo kayo ng maayos na mga bahay at manirahan dito,
13 and when the number of your cattle and sheep has greatly increased, and when you have accumulated a large amount of silver and gold, and the amount of all your other possessions has greatly increased,
at kapag dumami ang inyong mga alagang hayop at mga kawan, at kapag dumami na ang inyong pilak at ginto, at kapag ang lahat ng nasa inyo ay dumami—
14 be sure that you do not become proud [IDM] and forget Yahweh our God, who rescued your ancestors from being slaves in Egypt and brought them out from there.
na pagkatapos ang inyong puso ay maaaring magmataas, at maaari ninyong makalimutan si Yahweh na inyong Diyos, na nagpalabas sa inyo mula sa lupain ng Ehipto, mula sa tahanan ng pagkakaalipin.
15 Do not forget that he led them [while they traveled] through that huge and terrible desert, where there were poisonous snakes and scorpions. And do not forget that where the ground was very dry and there was no water, he caused water to flow for them out of (solid/very hard) rock.
Maaaring makalimutan ninyo siya na pumatnubay sa inyo sa malaki at kakila-kilabot na ilang, kung saan may nag-aapoy na mga ahas at mga alakdan, at sa uhaw na lupa na walang tubig; si Yahweh, na nagpalabas ng tubig sa batong pingkian para sa inyo;
16 Do not forget that in that desert he gave your ancestors manna to eat, food that they had never eaten before. He [caused them to have/experience many problems/difficulties], because he wanted them to realize that they needed to trust him and not themselves. And he wanted to test them, to find out whether they intended to obey him, in order that when [those difficulties] ended, he would do many good things for them.
si Yahweh, na nagpakain sa inyo ng manna sa ilang na hindi nakilala ng inyong mga ninuno, para kayo ay ibaba niya, at para kayo ay subukin niya, para gawan kayo ng kabutihan hanggang katapusan;
17 Be sure that you do not think to yourselves, ‘I have acquired all these things by my own power [MTY] and ability.’
kung hindi, maaari ninyong sabihin sa inyong puso, 'Sa aking kapangyarihan at sa lakas ng aking kamay natamo ko ang lahat ng kayamanang ito.'
18 Do not forget that it is Yahweh our God who has enabled you to become rich. He does this because he faithfully does what he solemnly promised our ancestors that he would do.
Pero isa-isip ninyo si Yahweh na inyong Diyos, dahil siya ang nagbibigay sa inyo ng kapangyarihan para makakuha ng kayamanan; para maitatag ang kaniyang tipan na kaniyang pinangako sa inyong mga ama, gaya sa araw na ito.
19 “solemnly warn you that if you forget Yahweh our God and turn to other gods and start to serve them and worship them, you will certainly be destroyed.
Ito ay mangyayari na, kung inyong kalilimutan si Yahweh na inyong Diyos at sumunod sa ibang mga diyos, sambahin sila, at gagalangin sila, patutunayan ko laban sa inyo ngayon na kayo'y tunay na mapupuksa.
20 If you do not obey Yahweh our God, he will certainly destroy you just like he will destroy the people-groups that you will fight against.”
Tulad ng mga bansa na pinuksa ni Yahweh sa harapan ninyo, kaya magihihirap kayo, dahil hindi ninyo ninais makinig sa boses ni Yahweh na inyong Diyos.
