Deuteronomy 11
1 'And thou hast loved Jehovah thy God, and kept His charge, and His statutes, and His judgments, and His commands, all the days;
「你要愛耶和華－你的上帝，常守他的吩咐、律例、典章、誡命。
2 and ye have known to-day — for it is not your sons who have not known, and who have not seen the chastisement of Jehovah your God, His greatness, His strong hand, and His stretched-out arm,
你們今日當知道，我本不是和你們的兒女說話；因為他們不知道，也沒有看見耶和華－你們上帝的管教、威嚴、大能的手，和伸出來的膀臂，
3 and His signs, and His doings, which He hath done in the midst of Egypt, to Pharaoh king of Egypt, and to all his land;
並他在埃及中向埃及王法老和其全地所行的神蹟奇事；
4 and that which He hath done to the force of Egypt, to its horses, and to its chariot, when He hath caused the waters of the Red Sea to flow against their faces in their pursuing after them, and Jehovah destroyeth them, unto this day;
也沒有看見他怎樣待埃及的軍兵、車馬，他們追趕你們的時候，耶和華怎樣使紅海的水淹沒他們，將他們滅絕，直到今日，
5 and that which He hath done to you in the wilderness, till your coming in unto this place;
並他在曠野怎樣待你們，以致你們來到這地方；
6 and that which He hath done to Dathan, and to Abiram, sons of Eliab, sons of Reuben, when the earth hath opened her mouth and swalloweth them, and their houses, and their tents, and all that liveth, which is at their feet, in the midst of all Israel:
也沒有看見他怎樣待呂便子孫以利押的兒子大坍、亞比蘭，地怎樣在以色列人中間開口，吞了他們和他們的家眷，並帳棚與跟他們的一切活物。
7 ' — But [it is] your eyes which are seeing all the great work of Jehovah, which He hath done;
惟有你們親眼看見耶和華所做的一切大事。」
8 and ye have kept all the command which I am commanding thee to-day, so that ye are strong, and have gone in, and possessed the land whither ye are passing over to possess it,
「所以，你們要守我今日所吩咐的一切誡命，使你們膽壯，能以進去，得你們所要得的那地，
9 and so that ye prolong days on the ground which Jehovah hath sworn to your fathers to give to them and to their seed — a land flowing with milk and honey.
並使你們的日子在耶和華向你們列祖起誓、應許給他們和他們後裔的地上得以長久；那是流奶與蜜之地。
10 'For the land whither thou art going in to possess it, is not as the land of Egypt whence ye have come out, where thou sowest thy seed, and hast watered with thy foot, as a garden of the green herb;
你要進去得為業的那地，本不像你出來的埃及地。你在那裏撒種，用腳澆灌，像澆灌菜園一樣。
11 but the land whither ye are passing over to possess it, [is] a land of hills and valleys; of the rain of the heavens it drinketh water;
你們要過去得為業的那地乃是有山有谷、雨水滋潤之地，
12 a land which Jehovah thy God is searching; continually [are] the eyes of Jehovah thy God upon it, from the beginning of the year even unto the latter end of the year.
是耶和華－你上帝所眷顧的；從歲首到年終，耶和華－你上帝的眼目時常看顧那地。
13 'And it hath been — if thou hearken diligently unto My commands which I am commanding you to-day, to love Jehovah your God, and to serve Him with all your heart, and with all your soul —
「你們若留意聽從我今日所吩咐的誡命，愛耶和華－你們的上帝，盡心盡性事奉他，
14 that I have given the rain of your land in its season — sprinkling and gathered — and thou hast gathered thy corn, and thy new wine, and thine oil,
他必按時降秋雨春雨在你們的地上，使你們可以收藏五穀、新酒，和油，
15 and I have given herbs in thy field for thy cattle, and thou hast eaten, and been satisfied.
也必使你吃得飽足，並使田野為你的牲畜長草。
16 'Take heed to yourselves, lest your heart be enticed, and ye have turned aside, and served other gods, and bowed yourselves to them,
你們要謹慎，免得心中受迷惑，就偏離正路，去事奉敬拜別神。
17 and the anger of Jehovah hath burned against you, and He hath restrained the heavens, and there is no rain, and the ground doth not give her increase, and ye have perished hastily from off the good land which Jehovah is giving to you.
耶和華的怒氣向你們發作，就使天閉塞不下雨，地也不出產，使你們在耶和華所賜給你們的美地上速速滅亡。
18 'And ye have placed these my words on your heart, and on your soul, and have bound them for a sign on your hand, and they have been for frontlets between your eyes;
「你們要將我這話存在心內，留在意中，繫在手上為記號，戴在額上為經文；
19 and ye have taught them to your sons, by speaking of them in thy sitting in thy house, and in thy going in the way, and in thy lying down, and in thy rising up,
也要教訓你們的兒女，無論坐在家裏，行在路上，躺下，起來，都要談論；
20 and hast written them on the side-posts of thy house, and on thy gates,
又要寫在房屋的門框上，並城門上，
21 so that your days are multiplied, and the days of your sons, on the ground which Jehovah hath sworn to your fathers to give to them, as the days of the heavens on the earth.
使你們和你們子孫的日子在耶和華向你們列祖起誓、應許給他們的地上得以增多，如天覆地的日子那樣多。
22 'For, if ye diligently keep all this command which I am commanding you — to do it, to love Jehovah your God, to walk in all His ways, and to cleave to Him,
你們若留意謹守遵行我所吩咐這一切的誡命，愛耶和華－你們的上帝，行他的道，專靠他，
23 then hath Jehovah dispossessed all these nations from before you, and ye have possessed nations, greater and mightier than you;
他必從你們面前趕出這一切國民，就是比你們更大更強的國民，你們也要得他們的地。
24 every place on which the sole of your foot treadeth is yours; from the wilderness, and Lebanon, from the river, the river Phrat, even unto the farther sea is your border;
凡你們腳掌所踏之地都必歸你們；從曠野和黎巴嫩，並幼發拉底大河，直到西海，都要作你們的境界。
25 no man doth station himself in your presence; your dread and your fear doth Jehovah your God put on the face of all the land on which ye tread, as He hath spoken to you.
必無一人能在你們面前站立得住；耶和華－你們的上帝必照他所說的，使懼怕驚恐臨到你們所踏之地的居民。
26 'See, I am setting before you to-day a blessing and a reviling:
「看哪，我今日將祝福與咒詛的話都陳明在你們面前。
27 the blessing, when ye hearken unto the commands of Jehovah your God, which I am commanding you to-day;
你們若聽從耶和華－你們上帝的誡命，就是我今日所吩咐你們的，就必蒙福。
28 and the reviling, if ye do not hearken unto the commands of Jehovah your God, and have turned aside out of the way which I am commanding you to-day, to go after other gods which ye have not known.
你們若不聽從耶和華－你們上帝的誡命，偏離我今日所吩咐你們的道，去事奉你們素來所不認識的別神，就必受禍。
29 'And it hath been, when Jehovah thy God doth bring thee in unto the land whither thou art going in to possess it, that thou hast given the blessing on mount Gerizim, and the reviling on mount Ebal;
及至耶和華－你的上帝領你進入要去得為業的那地，你就要將祝福的話陳明在基利心山上，將咒詛的話陳明在以巴路山上。
30 are they not beyond the Jordan, behind the way of the going in of the sun, in the land of the Canaanite, who is dwelling in the plain over-against Gilgal, near the oaks of Moreh?
這二山豈不是在約旦河那邊，日落之處，在住亞拉巴的迦南人之地與吉甲相對，靠近摩利橡樹嗎？
31 for ye are passing over the Jordan to go in to possess the land which Jehovah your God is giving to you; and ye have possessed it, and dwelt in it,
你們要過約旦河，進去得耶和華－你們上帝所賜你們為業之地，在那地居住。
32 and observed to do all the statutes and the judgments which I am setting before you to day.
你們要謹守遵行我今日在你們面前所陳明的一切律例典章。」
