Deuteronomy 6

1 And these [are] the commands, and the ordinances, and the judgments, as many as the Lord our God gave commandment to teach you to do so in the land on which ye enter to inherit it.

“这是耶和华—你们 神所吩咐教训你们的诫命、律例、典章，使你们在所要过去得为业的地上遵行，

2 That ye may fear the Lord your God, keep ye all his ordinances, and his commandments, which I command thee to-day, thou, and thy sons, and thy sons' sons, all the days of thy life, that ye may live many days.

好叫你和你子子孙孙一生敬畏耶和华—你的 神，谨守他的一切律例诫命，就是我所吩咐你的，使你的日子得以长久。

3 Hear, therefore, O Israel, and observe to do them, that it may be well with thee, and that ye may be greatly multiplied, as the Lord God of thy fathers said that he would give thee a land flowing with milk and honey: and these [are] the ordinances, and the judgments, which the Lord commanded the children of Israel in the wilderness, when they had gone forth from the land of Egypt.

以色列啊，你要听，要谨守遵行，使你可以在那流奶与蜜之地得以享福，人数极其增多，正如耶和华—你列祖的 神所应许你的。

4 Hear, O Israel, The Lord our God is one Lord.

“以色列啊，你要听！耶和华—我们 神是独一的主。

5 And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy mind, and with all thy soul, and all thy strength.

你要尽心、尽性、尽力爱耶和华—你的 神。

6 And these words, all that I command thee this day, shall be in thy heart and in thy soul.

我今日所吩咐你的话都要记在心上，

7 And thou shalt teach them to thy children, and thou shalt speak of them sitting in the house, and walking by the way, and lying down, and rising up.

也要殷勤教训你的儿女。无论你坐在家里，行在路上，躺下，起来，都要谈论。

8 And thou shalt fasten them for a sign upon thy hand, and it shall be immoveable before thine eyes.

也要系在手上为记号，戴在额上为经文；

9 And ye shall write them on the lintels of your houses and of your gates.

又要写在你房屋的门框上，并你的城门上。”

10 And it shall come to pass when the Lord thy God shall have brought thee into the land which he sware to thy fathers, to Abraam, and to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give thee great and beautiful cities which thou didst not build,

“耶和华—你的 神领你进他向你列祖亚伯拉罕、以撒、雅各起誓应许给你的地。那里有城邑，又大又美，非你所建造的；

11 houses full of all good things which thou didst not fill, wells dug in the rock which thou didst not dig, vineyards and oliveyards which thou didst not plant, then having eaten and been filled,

有房屋，装满各样美物，非你所装满的；有凿成的水井，非你所凿成的；还有葡萄园、橄榄园，非你所栽种的；你吃了而且饱足。

12 beware lest thou forget the Lord thy God that brought thee forth out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.

那时你要谨慎，免得你忘记将你从埃及地、为奴之家领出来的耶和华。

13 Thou shalt fear the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve; and thou shalt cleave to him, and by his name thou shalt swear.

你要敬畏耶和华—你的 神，事奉他，指着他的名起誓。

14 Go ye not after other gods of the gods of the nations round about you;

不可随从别神，就是你们四围国民的神；

15 for the Lord thy God in the midst of thee [is] a jealous God, lest the Lord thy God be very angry with thee, and destroy thee from off the face of the earth.

因为在你们中间的耶和华—你 神是忌邪的 神，惟恐耶和华—你 神的怒气向你发作，就把你从地上除灭。

16 Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God, as ye tempted him in the temptation.

“你们不可试探耶和华—你们的 神，像你们在玛撒那样试探他。

17 Thou shalt by all means keep the commands of the Lord thy God, the testimonies, and the ordinances, which he commanded thee.

要留意遵守耶和华—你们 神所吩咐的诫命、法度、律例。

18 And thou shalt do that which is pleasing and good before the Lord thy God, that it may be well with thee, and that thou mayest go in and inherit the good land, which the Lord sware to your fathers,

耶和华眼中看为正、看为善的，你都要遵行，使你可以享福，并可以进去得耶和华向你列祖起誓应许的那美地，

19 to chase all thine enemies from before thy face, as the Lord said.

照耶和华所说的，从你面前撵出你的一切仇敌。

20 And it shall come to pass when thy son shall ask thee at a future time, saying, What are the testimonies, and the ordinances, and the judgments, which the Lord our God has commanded us?

“日后，你的儿子问你说：‘耶和华—我们 神吩咐你们的这些法度、律例、典章是什么意思呢？’

21 Then shalt thou say to thy son, We were slaves to Pharao in the land of Egypt, and the Lord brought us forth thence with a mighty hand, and with a high arm.

你就告诉你的儿子说：‘我们在埃及作过法老的奴仆；耶和华用大能的手将我们从埃及领出来，

22 And the Lord wrought signs and great and grievous wonders in Egypt, on Pharao and on his house before us.

在我们眼前，将重大可怕的神迹奇事施行在埃及地和法老并他全家的身上，

23 And he brought us out thence to give us this land, which he sware to give to our fathers.

将我们从那里领出来，要领我们进入他向我们列祖起誓应许之地，把这地赐给我们。

24 And the Lord charged us to observe all these ordinances; to fear the Lord our God, that it may be well with us for ever, that we may live, as even to-day.

耶和华又吩咐我们遵行这一切律例，要敬畏耶和华—我们的 神，使我们常得好处，蒙他保全我们的生命，像今日一样。

25 And there shall be mercy to us, if we take heed to keep all these commands before the Lord our God, as he has commanded us.

我们若照耶和华—我们 神所吩咐的一切诫命谨守遵行，这就是我们的义了。’”
