Deuteronomy 6

1 'And this [is] the command, the statutes and the judgments which Jehovah your God hath commanded to teach you, to do in the land which ye are passing over thither to possess it,

Now this is the commandment, the statutes, and the ordinances, which the LORD your God commanded to teach you, that ye might do them in the land whither ye go over to possess it —

2 so that thou dost fear Jehovah thy God, to keep all His statutes and His commands, which I am commanding thee, thou, and thy son, and thy son's son, all days of thy life, and so that thy days are prolonged.

that thou mightest 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.

3 'And thou hast heard, O Israel, and observed to do, that it may be well with thee, and that thou mayest multiply exceedingly, as Jehovah, God of thy fathers, hath spoken to thee, [in] the land flowing with milk and honey.

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, the God of thy fathers, hath promised unto thee — a land flowing with milk and honey.

4 'Hear, O Israel, Jehovah our God [is] one Jehovah;

HEAR, O ISRAEL: THE LORD OUR GOD, THE LORD IS ONE.

5 and thou hast loved Jehovah thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might,

And thou shalt love the LORD thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might.

6 and these words which I am commanding thee to-day have been on thine heart,

And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be upon thy heart;

7 and thou hast repeated them to thy sons, and spoken of them in thy sitting in thine house, and in thy walking in the way, and in thy lying down, and in thy rising up,

and thou shalt teach them diligently unto 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.

8 and hast bound them for a sign upon thy hand, and they have been for frontlets between thine eyes,

And thou shalt bind them for a sign upon thy hand, and they shall be for frontlets between thine eyes.

9 and thou hast written them on door-posts of thy house, and on thy gates.

And thou shalt write them upon the door-posts of thy house, and upon thy gates.

10 'And it hath been, when Jehovah thy God doth bring thee in unto the land which He hath sworn to thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give to thee — cities great and good, which thou hast not built,

And it shall be, when the LORD thy God shall bring thee into the land which He swore unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give thee — great and goodly cities, which thou didst not build,

11 and houses full of all good things which thou hast not filled, and wells digged which thou hast not digged, vineyards and olive-yards which thou hast not planted, and thou hast eaten, and been satisfied;

and houses full of all good things, which thou didst not fill, and cisterns hewn out, which thou the didst not hew, vineyards and olive-trees, which thou didst not plant, and thou shalt eat and be satisfied —

12 'Take heed to thyself lest thou forget Jehovah who hath brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of a house of servants;

then beware lest thou forget the LORD, who brought thee forth out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.

13 Jehovah thy God thou dost fear, and Him thou dost serve, and by His name thou dost swear;

Thou shalt fear the LORD thy God; and Him shalt thou serve, and by His name shalt thou swear.

14 ye do not go after other gods, of the gods of the peoples who [are] round about you;

Ye shall not go after other gods, of the gods of the peoples that are round about you;

15 for a zealous God [is] Jehovah thy God in thy midst — lest the anger of Jehovah thy God burn against thee, and He hath destroyed thee from off the face of the ground.

for a jealous God, even the LORD thy God, is in the midst of thee; lest the anger of the LORD thy God be kindled against thee, and He destroy thee from off the face of the earth.

16 'Ye do not try Jehovah your God as ye tried in Massah;

Ye shall not try the LORD your God, as ye tried Him in Massah.

17 ye do diligently keep the commands of Jehovah your God, and His testimonies, and His statutes which He hath commanded thee,

Ye shall diligently keep the commandments of the LORD your God, and His testimonies, and His statutes, which He hath commanded thee.

18 and thou hast done that which is right and good in the eyes of Jehovah, so that it is well with thee, and thou hast gone in and possessed the good land which Jehovah hath sworn to thy fathers,

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 unto thy fathers,

19 to drive away all thine enemies from thy presence, as Jehovah hath spoken.

to thrust out all thine enemies from before thee, as the LORD hath spoken.

20 'When thy son asketh thee hereafter, saying, What [are] the testimonies, and the statutes, and the judgments, which Jehovah our God hath commanded you?

When thy son asketh thee in time to come, saying: 'What mean the testimonies, and the statutes, and the ordinances, which the LORD our God hath commanded you?

21 then thou hast said to thy son, Servants we have been to Pharaoh in Egypt, and Jehovah bringeth us out of Egypt by a high hand;

then thou shalt say unto thy son: 'We were Pharaoh's bondmen in Egypt; and the LORD brought us out of Egypt with a mighty hand.

22 and Jehovah giveth signs and wonders, great and sad, on Egypt, on Pharaoh, and on all his house, before our eyes;

And the LORD showed signs and wonders, great and sore, upon Egypt, upon Pharaoh, and upon all his house, before our eyes.

23 and us He hath brought out thence, in order to bring us in, to give to us the land which He had sworn to our fathers.

And He brought us out from thence, that He might bring us in, to give us the land which He swore unto our fathers.

24 And Jehovah commandeth us to do all these statutes, to fear Jehovah our God, for good to ourselves all the days, to keep us alive, as [at] this day;

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.

25 and righteousness it is for us, when we observe to do all this command before Jehovah our God, as He hath commanded us.

And it shall be righteousness unto us, if we observe to do all this commandment before the LORD our God, as He hath commanded us.'
