Deuteronomy 6

1 These now are the commandements, ordinances, and lawes, which the Lord your God commanded me to teach you, that ye might doe them in the land whither ye go to possesse it:

「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 mightest feare the Lord thy God, and keepe all his ordinances, and his commandements which I commaund thee, thou, and thy sonne, and thy sonnes sonne all the dayes of thy life, euen that thy dayes may be prolonged.

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 Heare therefore, O Israel, and take heede to doe it, that it may go well with thee, and that ye may increase mightily in the land that floweth with milke and hony, as the Lord God of thy fathers hath promised thee.

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 Heare, O Israel, The Lord our God is Lord onely,

「以色列啊，你要聽！耶和華－我們上帝是獨一的主。

5 And thou shalt loue the Lord thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soule, and with all thy might.

你要盡心、盡性、盡力愛耶和華－你的上帝。

6 And these wordes which I commaund thee this day, shalbe in thine heart.

我今日所吩咐你的話都要記在心上，

7 And thou shalt rehearse them continually vnto thy children, and shalt talke of them when thou tariest in thine house, and as thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest downe, and when thou risest vp:

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 shalt binde them for a signe vpon thine hand, and they shalbe as frontlets betweene thine eyes.

也要繫在手上為記號，戴在額上為經文；

9 Also thou shalt write them vpon ye postes of thine house, and vpon thy gates.

又要寫在你房屋的門框上，並你的城門上。」

10 And when the Lord thy God hath brought thee into the land, which he sware vnto thy fathers, Abraham, Izhak, and Iaakob, to giue to thee, with great and goodly cities which thou buildedst 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 And houses full of all maner of goods which thou filledst not, and welles digged which thou diggedst not, vineyards and oliue trees which thou plantedst not, and when thou hast eaten and art full,

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 Beware least thou forget the Lord, which brought thee out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage.

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 Thou shalt feare the Lord thy God, and serue him, and shalt sweare by 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 shall not walke after other gods, after any of the gods of the people which are round about you,

不可隨從別神，就是你們四圍國民的神；

15 (For the Lord thy God is a ielous God among you: ) least the wrath of the Lord thy God be kindled against thee, and destroy thee from the face of the earth.

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 Ye shall not tempt the Lord your God, as ye did tempt him in Massah:

「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 But ye shall keepe diligently the commandements of the Lord your God, and his testimonies, and his ordinances which he hath commanded 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 thou shalt doe that which is right and good in the sight of the Lord: that thou mayest prosper, and that thou mayest go in, and possesse that good land which the Lord sware vnto thy fathers,

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 To cast out all thine enemies before thee, as the Lord hath sayd.

照耶和華所說的，從你面前攆出你的一切仇敵。

20 When thy sonne shall aske thee in time to come, saying, What meane these testimonies, and ordinances, and Lawes, which the Lord our God hath commanded you?

「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 Then shalt thou say vnto thy sonne, We were Pharaohs bondmen in Egypt: but the Lord brought vs out of Egypt with a mightie hand.

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 the Lord shewed signes and wonders great and euill vpon Egypt, vpon Pharaoh, and vpon all his housholde, before our eyes,

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 brought vs out from thence, to bring vs in, and to giue vs the land which he sware vnto our fathers.

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 Therefore the Lord hath commanded vs, to doe all these ordinances, and to feare the Lord our God, that it may goe euer well with vs, and that he may preserue vs aliue as at this present.

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 Moreouer, this shall be our righteousnes before the Lord our God, if we take heede to keepe all these commandements, as he hath commanded 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。』」
