< 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].
我が汝らの前に陳たるこの諸の祝福と呪詛の事すでに汝に臨み汝その神ヱホバに逐やられたる諸の國々において此事を心に考ふるにいたり
2 Then, if you return to Yahweh our God and faithfully [IDM] obey all that I have today commanded you to do,
汝と汝の子等ともに汝の神ヱホバに起かへり我が今日なんぢに命ずる所に全たく循がひて心をつくし精神をつくしてヱホバの言に聽したがはば
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.
汝の神ヱホバ汝の俘擄を解て汝を憐れみ汝の神ヱホバ汝を顧みその汝を散しし國々より汝を集めたまはん
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].
汝たとひ天涯に逐やらるるとも汝の神ヱホバ其處より汝を集め其處より汝を携へかへりたまはん
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.
汝の神ヱホバ汝をしてその先祖の有ちし地に歸らしめたまふて汝またこれを有つにいたらんヱホバまた汝を善し汝を増て汝の先祖よりも衆からしめたまはん
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.
而して汝の神ヱホバ汝の心と汝の子等の心に割禮を施こし汝をして心を盡し精神をつくして汝の神ヱホバを愛せしめ斯して汝に生命を得させたまふべし
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.
汝の神ヱホバまた汝の敵と汝を惡み攻る者とにこの諸の災禍をかうむらせたまはん
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.
然ど汝は再びヱホバの言に聽したがひ我が今日なんぢに命ずるその一切の誡命を行ふにいたらん
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.
然る時は汝の神ヱホバ汝をして汝が手をかくる諸の物と汝の胎の產と汝の家畜の產と汝の地の產に富しめて汝を善したまはん即ちヱホバ汝の先祖たちを悦こびしごとく再び汝を悦こびて汝を善したまはん
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.
是は汝その神ヱホバの言に聽したがひ此律法の書にしるされたる誡命と法度を守り心をつくし精神を盡して汝の神ヱホバに歸するによりてなり
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].
我が今日なんぢに命ずる誡命は汝が理會がたき者にあらずまた汝に遠き者にあらず
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]
是は天に在ならねば汝は誰か我らのために天にのぼりてこれを我らに持くだり我らにこれを聞せて行はせんかと曰ふにおよばず
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]
また是は海の外にあるならねば汝は誰か我らのために海をわたりゆきてこれを我らに持きたり我らにこれを聞せて行はせんかと曰におよばず
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.
是言は甚だ汝に近くして汝の口にあり汝の心にあれば汝これを行ふことを得べし
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].
視よ我今日生命と福徳および死と災禍を汝の前に置り
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.
即ち我今日汝にむかひて汝の神ヱホバを愛しその道に歩みその誡命と法度と律法とを守ることを命ずるなり然なさば汝生ながらへてその數衆くならんまた汝の神ヱホバ汝が往て獲るところの地にて汝を祝福たまふべし
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,
然ど汝もし心をひるがへして聽從がはず誘はれて他の神々を拝みまたこれに事へなば
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.
我今日汝らに告ぐ汝らは必ず滅びん汝らはヨルダンを渡りゆきて獲るところの地にて汝らの日を永うすることを得ざらん
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.
我今日天と地を呼て證となす我は生命と死および祝福と呪詛を汝らの前に置り汝生命をえらぶべし然せば汝と汝の子孫生存らふることを得ん
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.”
即ち汝の神ヱホバを愛してその言を聽き且これに附從がふべし斯する時は汝生命を得かつその日を永うすることを得ヱホバが汝の先祖アブラハム、イサク、ヤコブに與へんと誓ひたまひし地に住ことを得ん
