Deuteronomy 30

1 “I have now told you about the ways that Yahweh our God will bless you [if you obey him] and the ways that he will curse you [if you disobey him]. I am saying that you must choose which you want. But when [you choose not to obey his laws], some day you will be living in the countries to which he will scatter you, and you will remember [what I told you].

And it will be that they will come on you all the things these the blessing and the curse which I have set before you and you will bring [them] back to heart your in all the nations where he has banished you Yahweh God your there towards.

2 Then, if you return to Yahweh our God and faithfully [IDM] obey all that I have today commanded you to do,

And you will turn back to Yahweh God your and you will listen to voice his according to all that I [am] commanding you this day you and children your with all heart your and with all being your.

3 he will be merciful to you. He will bring you back from the nations to which he scattered you, and he will cause you to be prosperous again.

And he will turn back Yahweh God your captivity your and he will have compassion on you and he will return and he will gather you from all the peoples where he has scattered you Yahweh God your there towards.

4 Even if you have been scattered to the most distant places on the earth, Yahweh our God will gather you from there and bring you back [to your land].

If he will be banished [one] your at [the] end of the heavens from there he will gather you Yahweh God your and from there he will bring you.

5 He will enable you to possess again the land where your ancestors lived. And he will cause you to be more prosperous and more numerous than you are now.

And he will bring you Yahweh God your to the land which they took possession of ancestors your and you will take possession of it and he will do good to you and he will make great you more than ancestors your.

6 Yahweh our God will change [MET] your inner beings, with the result that you will love him more than you love anything else and want to do only what he wants you to do. And then you will continue to live in that land.

And he will circumcise Yahweh God your heart your and [the] heart of offspring your to love Yahweh God your with all heart your and with all being your for [the] sake of life your.

7 Yahweh our God will cause your enemies and those who oppressed/persecuted you to experience all the disasters that I have told you about.

And he will put Yahweh God your all the oaths these on enemies your and on [those who] hate you who they have persecuted you.

8 You will do what Yahweh wants you to do, as you did before, and you will obey all the commands that I have given to you today.

And you you will turn and you will listen to [the] voice of Yahweh and you will do all commandments his which I [am] commanding you this day.

9 Yahweh our God will cause you to be very successful in all that you do. You will have many children [IDM], and a lot of cattle, and you will have abundant crops. He will again be happy to enable you to prosper, just like he was happy to enable your ancestors to prosper.

And he will make abound you Yahweh God your in all - [the] work of hand your in [the] fruit of womb your and in [the] fruit of livestock your and in [the] fruit of ground your to good for - he will turn Yahweh to rejoice on you for good just as he rejoiced on ancestors your.

10 [But he will do those things only] if you do what he has told you to do, and if you obey all his rules and regulations that I have written about [in this scroll], and if you will love him more than you love anything else and want to do only what he wants you to do.

If you will listen to [the] voice of Yahweh God your to keep commandments his and statutes his that is written in [the] book of the law this if you will return to Yahweh God your with all heart your and with all being your.

11 The commands that I am giving to you today are not very difficult for you [to obey], and they are not [difficult to know].

For the commandment this which I [am] commanding you this day not [is too] difficult it for you and not [is] far away it.

12 They are not in heaven, with the result that you need to say, ‘(Who will need to go up to heaven for us to bring them [down here to us] in order that we can hear them and obey them?/Someone will need to go up to heaven for us to bring them [down here to us] in order that we can hear them and obey them.)’ [RHQ]

Not [is] in the heavens it to say who? will he go up for us the heavens towards so he may fetch it for us so he may make hear us it so we may do it.

13 And they are not on the other side of the sea, with the result that you need to say, ‘(Who will need to cross the sea for us and bring them back to us, in order that we can hear them and obey them?/Someone will need to cross the sea for us and bring them back to us, in order that we can hear them and obey them.)’ [RHQ]

And not [is] from [the] other side of the sea it to say who? will he pass over for us to [the] other side of the sea so he may fetch it for us so he may make hear us it so we may do it.

14 [You do not need to do that because] his commands are here with you. You know them [MTY] and you have (memorized them/put them in your minds). So you can [easily] obey them.

For [is] near to you the word very in mouth your and in heart your to do it.

15 So listen! Today I am allowing you to choose between [doing what is] evil and [doing what is] good, between what will enable you to live [for a long time] and [what will cause you] to die [while you are still young].

See I set before you this day life and good and death and evil.

16 [I say again], if you obey the commands of Yahweh our God that I am giving to you today, and if you love him and conduct your lives as he wants you to do, and if you obey all his rules and regulations, you will prosper and become very numerous, and Yahweh our God will bless you in the land that you are about to enter and possess.

(If you will listen to [the] commandments of Yahweh God your *X) which I [am] commanding you this day to love Yahweh God your to walk in ways his and to keep commandments his and statutes his and judgments his and you will live and you will increase and he will bless you Yahweh God your in the land where you [are] about to go there towards to take possession of it.

17 But if you turn away [from Yahweh] and refuse to heed what he says, and if you allow yourselves to be led away to worship other gods,

And if it will turn away heart your and not you will listen and you will be drawn aside and you will bow down to gods other and you will serve them.

18 I am warning you today that you will [soon] die. You will not live for a long time in the land that you are about to cross the Jordan [River] to enter and possess.

I tell to you this day that certainly you will perish! not you will prolong! days on the land where you [are] about to pass over the Jordan to go there towards to take possession of it.

19 I am requesting that [everyone in] heaven and the earth testify to you, that today I am allowing you to choose whether you [want to] live for a long time or to soon die, whether [you want Yahweh to] bless you or to curse you. So choose to live.

I call as witnesses against you this day the heavens and the earth life and death I have set before you blessing and curse and you will choose life so that you may live you and offspring your.

20 [Choose to] love Yahweh our God, and to obey him [MTY], and to (be faithful to/have a close relationship with) him. If you do that, you and your descendants will live for a long time in the land that Yahweh solemnly promised to your ancestors Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, that he would give to them.”

By loving Yahweh God your by listening to voice his and by cleaving to him for he [is] life your and [the] length of days your to dwell on the land which he swore Yahweh to ancestors your to Abraham to Isaac and to Jacob to give to them.
