Deuteronomy 30
1 'And it hath been, when all these things come upon thee, the blessing and the reviling, which I have set before thee, and thou hast brought [them] back unto thy heart, among all the nations whither Jehovah thy God hath driven thee away,
幾時這一切事，就是我在你面前提出的祝福和詛咒，來到你身上，而你在上主你的天主驅逐你去的異族中，回心轉意，
2 and hast turned back unto Jehovah thy God, and hearkened to His voice, according to all that I am commanding thee to-day, thou and thy sons, with all thy heart, and with all thy soul —
你和你的子孫全心全靈歸向上主你的天主，全照我今天吩咐你的，聽從他的話，
3 then hath Jehovah thy God turned back [to] thy captivity, and pitied thee, yea, He hath turned back and gathered thee out of all the peoples whither Jehovah thy God hath scattered thee.
那麼，上主你的天主必轉變你的命運，憐憫你；上主你的天主必從分散你去的各民族中，再召集你回來；
4 'If thine outcast is in the extremity of the heavens, thence doth Jehovah thy God gather thee, and thence He doth take thee;
即便被放逐的人遠在天涯，上主你的天主也要從那裏召回，將你從那裏領回來。
5 and Jehovah thy God hath brought thee in unto the land which thy fathers have possessed, and thou hast inherited it, and He hath done thee good, and multiplied thee above thy fathers.
上主你的天主必領你進入你祖先所佔領的土地，叫你再佔領；也必使你比你的祖先更幸福，更眾多。
6 'And Jehovah thy God hath circumcised thy heart, and the heart of thy seed, to love Jehovah thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, for the sake of thy life;
那時，上主你的天主必在你的心上，和你後裔的心上行割損，叫你全心全靈愛慕上主你的天主，使你得以生存。
7 and Jehovah thy God hath put all this oath on thine enemies, and on those hating thee, who have pursued thee.
上主你的天主必將這一切詛咒，加在迫害你的仇人和敵人身上。
8 'And thou dost turn back, and hast hearkened to the voice of Jehovah, and hast done all His commands which I am commanding thee to-day;
從此，你必再聽從上主的話，遵行我今天吩咐你的一切誡命。
9 and Jehovah thy God hath made thee abundant in every work of thy hand, in the fruit of thy body, and in the fruit of thy cattle, and in the fruit of thy ground, for good; for Jehovah turneth back to rejoice over thee for good, as He rejoiced over thy fathers,
上主你的天主必使你做的一切事，你身所生的、牲畜所出的、田地所產的，都順利興旺，因為上主要再喜歡你，使你享福，如他以前喜歡你的祖先一樣，
10 for thou dost hearken to the voice of Jehovah thy God, to keep His commands, and His statutes, which are written in the book of this law, for thou turnest back unto Jehovah thy God, with all thy heart, and with all thy soul.
只要你聽從上主你天主的話，謹守這法律書上所記載的誡命和法令；只要你全心全靈回頭，歸向上主你的天主。
11 'For this command which I am commanding thee to-day, it is not too wonderful for thee, nor [is] it far off.
其實，我今天吩咐你的這誡命，為你並不太難，也不是達不到的。
12 It is not in the heavens, — saying, Who doth go up for us into the heavens, and doth take it for us, and doth cause us to hear it — that we may do it.
這誡命不在天上，以致你能說：「誰能為我們上到天上，給我們取下，使我們聽了好能遵行呢﹖」
13 And it [is] not beyond the sea, — saying, Who doth pass over for us beyond the sea, and doth take it for us, and doth cause us to hear it — that we may do it?
也不在海外，以致你能說：「誰能為我們渡到海外，給我們取來，使我們聽了好能遵行呢﹖」
14 For very near unto thee is the word, in thy mouth, and in thy heart — to do it.
其實，這話離你很近，就在你口裏，就在你心裏，使你遵行。
15 'See, I have set before thee to-day life and good, and death and evil,
你看，我今天將生命與幸福，死亡與災禍，都擺在你面前，
16 in that I am commanding thee to-day to love Jehovah thy God, to walk in His ways, and to keep His commands, and His statutes, and His judgments; and thou hast lived and multiplied, and Jehovah thy God hath blessed thee in the land whither thou art going in to possess it.
如果你遵行我今天吩咐你的，上主你天主的誡命：愛慕上主你的天主，履行他的道路，謹守他的誡命、法令和規定，你必能生活繁榮，上主你的天主在要去佔領的地上，必要祝福你。
17 'And if thy heart doth turn, and thou dost not hearken, and hast been driven away, and hast bowed thyself to other gods, and served them,
但是，如果你心中叛離，不願聽從，被人引去敬拜事奉其他的神，
18 I have declared to you this day, that ye do certainly perish, ye do not prolong days on the ground which thou art passing over the Jordan to go in thither to possess it.
我今天警告你們：你們必要滅亡，在你渡過約但河去佔領的土地上，決不能久存。
19 'I have caused to testify against you to-day the heavens and the earth; life and death I have set before thee, the blessing and the reviling; and thou hast fixed on life, so that thou dost live, thou and thy seed,
我今天指著天地向你們作證：我已將生命與死亡，祝福與詛咒，都擺在你面前；你要選擇生命，為叫你和你的後裔得以生存；
20 to love Jehovah thy God, to hearken to His voice, and to cleave to Him (for He [is] thy life, and the length of thy days), to dwell on the ground which Jehovah hath sworn to thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give to them.'
你應愛慕上主你的天主，聽從他的話，完全依賴他；因為這樣你纔能生活，纔能久存，纔能住在上主向你的祖先亞巴郎、依撒格和雅各伯誓許要給他們的土地上。
