Deuteronomy 6
1 Now these [are] the commandments, the statutes, and the judgments which the LORD your God commanded to teach you, that ye may do [them] in the land whither ye go 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 mayst fear the LORD thy God, to keep all his statutes and his commandments which I command thee, thou, and thy son, and thy son's 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 Hear therefore, O Israel, and observe to do [it]; that it may be well with thee, and that ye may increase mightily, as the LORD God of thy fathers hath promised thee, in the land that floweth 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: the LORD our God [is] one LORD:
以色列! 你要聽：上主我們的天主，是唯一的上主。
5 And thou shalt love the LORD 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 And these words which I command thee this day, shall be in thy heart:
我今天吩咐你的這些話，你應牢記在心，
7 And thou shalt teach them diligently to thy children, and shalt talk 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 be as frontlets between thy 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 on thy gates.
刻在你住宅的門框上和門扇上。
10 And it shall be, when the LORD thy God shall have brought thee into the land which he swore to thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give thee great and goodly cities, 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 didst not fill, and wells digged, which thou didst not dig, vineyards and olive-trees, which thou didst not plant; when thou shalt have eaten 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 [Then] beware lest thou shouldst forget the LORD, who brought thee forth from the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage.
你應留心，不要忘了領你由埃及地，為奴之家，出來的上主。
13 Thou shalt fear the LORD thy God, and serve him, and shalt swear by his name.
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 people which [are] around you;
不可追隨別的神，即你們四周民族的神，
15 (For the LORD thy God [is] a jealous God among you) lest the anger of the LORD thy God should be kindled against thee, and destroy thee from off the face of the earth.
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 tempt the LORD your God, as ye tempted [him] in Massah.
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 diligently keep the commandments of the LORD 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 And thou shalt do [that which is] right and good in the sight of the LORD: that it may be well with thee, and that thou mayest go in and possess the good land which the LORD swore to 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 cast out all thy enemies from before thee, as the LORD hath spoken.
能由你面前驅逐你的一切仇敵，如上主所應許的。
20 [And] when thy son shall ask thee in time to come, saying, What [mean] the testimonies, and the statutes, and the judgments, which the LORD our God hath 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 thou shalt say to thy son, We were Pharoah's bond-men in Egypt: and the LORD brought us out of Egypt with a mighty 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 the LORD showed signs and wonders, great and distressing, 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 And he brought us out from thence, that he might bring us in, to give us the land which he swore to 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 And the LORD commanded us to do all these statutes, to fear the LORD our God, for our good always, that he might preserve us alive, as [it is] 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 it shall be our righteousness, if we observe to do all these commandments before the LORD our God, as he hath 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。
