Deuteronomy 6

1 These ben the comaundementis, and cerymonyes, and domes, whiche youre Lord God comaundide that Y schulde teche you, and that ye do tho in the lond to which ye passen ouer to welde;

「這是耶和華－你們上帝所吩咐教訓你們的誡命、律例、典章，使你們在所要過去得為業的地上遵行，

2 that thou drede thi Lord God, and kepe alle hise comaundementis, and heestis, whiche Y comaunde to thee, and to thi sones, and sones of sones, in alle the daies of thi lijf, that thi daies be lengthid.

好叫你和你子子孫孫一生敬畏耶和華－你的上帝，謹守他的一切律例誡命，就是我所吩咐你的，使你的日子得以長久。

3 Thou Israel, here, and kepe, that thou do tho thingis whiche the Lord comaundide to thee, and that it be wel to thee, and thou be multiplied more, as the Lord God of thi fadris bihiyte, to yyue to thee a lond flowynge with mylk and hony.

以色列啊，你要聽，要謹守遵行，使你可以在那流奶與蜜之地得以享福，人數極其增多，正如耶和華－你列祖的上帝所應許你的。

4 Thou Israel, here, thi Lord God is o God.

「以色列啊，你要聽！耶和華－我們上帝是獨一的主。

5 Thou schalt loue thi Lord God of al thin herte, and of al thi soule, and of al thi strengthe.

你要盡心、盡性、盡力愛耶和華－你的上帝。

6 And these wordis whiche Y comaunde to thee to dai, schulen be in thin herte;

我今日所吩咐你的話都要記在心上，

7 and thou schalt telle tho to thi sones, and thou schalt thenke on tho, sittynge in thin hows, and goynge in the weie, slepynge, and rysinge.

也要殷勤教訓你的兒女。無論你坐在家裏，行在路上，躺下，起來，都要談論。

8 And thou schalt bynde tho as a signe in thin hond; and tho schulen be, and schulen be moued bifor thin iyen; and thou schalt write tho in the lyntel,

也要繫在手上為記號，戴在額上為經文；

9 and in the doris of thin hows.

又要寫在你房屋的門框上，並你的城門上。」

10 And whanne thi Lord God hath brouyt thee in to the lond, for which he swoor to thi fadris, to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and hath youe to thee grete citees, and beeste, whiche thou bildidist not,

「耶和華－你的上帝領你進他向你列祖亞伯拉罕、以撒、雅各起誓應許給你的地。那裏有城邑，又大又美，非你所建造的；

11 housis fulle of alle richessis, whiche thou madist not, and cisternes, which thou diggedist not, `places of vynes, and `places of olyues, whiche thou plauntidist not,

有房屋，裝滿各樣美物，非你所裝滿的；有鑿成的水井，非你所鑿成的；還有葡萄園、橄欖園，非你所栽種的；你吃了而且飽足。

12 and thou hast ete, and art fillid,

那時你要謹慎，免得你忘記將你從埃及地、為奴之家領出來的耶和華。

13 be war diligentli, lest thou foryete the Lord, that ladde thee out of the lond of Egipt, fro the hows of seruage. Thou schalt drede thi Lord God, and thou schalt serue hym aloone, `bi seruyce due to God onely, and thou schalt swere bi his name.

你要敬畏耶和華－你的上帝，事奉他，指着他的名起誓。

14 Ye schulen not go aftir alien goddis, of alle hethen men that ben `in youre cumpas;

不可隨從別神，就是你們四圍國民的神；

15 for God is a feruent louyere, thi Lord God is in the myddis of thee, lest ony tyme the `strong veniaunce of thi Lord God be wrooth ayens thee, and do awei thee fro `the face of the erthe.

因為在你們中間的耶和華－你上帝是忌邪的上帝，惟恐耶和華－你上帝的怒氣向你發作，就把你從地上除滅。

16 Thou schalt not tempte thi Lord God, as thou temptidist in the place of temptyng.

「你們不可試探耶和華－你們的上帝，像你們在瑪撒那樣試探他。

17 Kepe thou the comaundementis of thi Lord God, and the witnessyngis, and cerymonyes, whiche he comaundide to thee;

要留意遵守耶和華－你們上帝所吩咐的誡命、法度、律例。

18 and do thou that that is plesaunt and good in the siyt of the Lord, that it be wel to thee, and that thou entre, and welde the beste lond, of which the Lord swoor to thi fadris,

耶和華眼中看為正、看為善的，你都要遵行，使你可以享福，並可以進去得耶和華向你列祖起誓應許的那美地，

19 that he schulde do awey alle thin enemyes bifor thee, as he spak.

照耶和華所說的，從你面前攆出你的一切仇敵。

20 And whanne thi sone schal axe thee to morewe, that is, in tyme comyng, and schal seie, What wolen these witnessyngis, and cerymonyes, and domes to hem silf, whiche oure Lord God comaundide to vs?

「日後，你的兒子問你說：『耶和華－我們上帝吩咐你們的這些法度、律例、典章是甚麼意思呢？』

21 thou schalt seie to hym, We weren `seruauntis of Farao in Egipt, and the Lord ledde vs out of Egipt, in strong hond;

你就告訴你的兒子說：『我們在埃及作過法老的奴僕；耶和華用大能的手將我們從埃及領出來，

22 and he dide myraclis, and grete wondris, and werste, `that is, moost peyneful veniaunces, in Egipt, ayens Farao and al his hows, in oure siyt.

在我們眼前，將重大可怕的神蹟奇事施行在埃及地和法老並他全家的身上，

23 And he ledde vs out therof, that he schulde yyue to vs led yn, the lond of which he swoor to oure fadris.

將我們從那裏領出來，要領我們進入他向我們列祖起誓應許之地，把這地賜給我們。

24 And the Lord comaundide to vs, that we do alle these lawful thingis, and drede oure Lord God, that it be wel to vs in alle the daies of oure lijf, as it is to dai.

耶和華又吩咐我們遵行這一切律例，要敬畏耶和華－我們的上帝，使我們常得好處，蒙他保全我們的生命，像今日一樣。

25 And he schal be merciful to vs, if we schulen do and kepe alle hise heestis, bifor oure Lord God, as he comaundide to vs.

我們若照耶和華－我們上帝所吩咐的一切誡命謹守遵行，這就是我們的義了。』」
