< Deuteronomy 30 >

1 And it shall come to pass, when all these things have come upon thee, the blessing and the curse, which I have set before thee, and thou shalt call them to mind among all the nations, where the LORD thy God hath driven thee,
「我所陳明在你面前的這一切咒詛都臨到你身上;你在耶和華-你上帝追趕你到的萬國中必心裏追念祝福的話;
2 And shalt return to the LORD thy God, and shalt obey his voice according to all that I command thee this day, thou and thy children, with all thy heart, and with all thy soul;
你和你的子孫若盡心盡性歸向耶和華-你的上帝,照着我今日一切所吩咐的聽從他的話;
3 That then the LORD thy God will turn thy captivity, and have compassion upon thee, and will return and gather thee from all the nations, where the LORD thy God hath scattered thee.
那時,耶和華-你的上帝必憐恤你,救回你這被擄的子民;耶和華-你的上帝要回轉過來,從分散你到的萬民中將你招聚回來。
4 If any of thine shall be driven out to the outmost parts of heaven, from there will the LORD thy God gather thee, and from there will he bring thee:
你被趕散的人,就是在天涯的,耶和華-你的上帝也必從那裏將你招聚回來。
5 And the LORD thy God will bring thee into the land which thy fathers possessed, and thou shalt possess it; and he will do thee good, and multiply thee above thy fathers.
耶和華-你的上帝必領你進入你列祖所得的地,使你可以得着;又必善待你,使你的人數比你列祖眾多。
6 And the LORD thy God will circumcise thy heart, and the heart of thy seed, to love the LORD thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, that thou mayest live.
耶和華-你上帝必將你心裏和你後裔心裏的污穢除掉,好叫你盡心盡性愛耶和華-你的上帝,使你可以存活。
7 And the LORD thy God will put all these curses upon thy enemies, and on them that hate thee, who persecuted thee.
耶和華-你的上帝必將這一切咒詛加在你仇敵和恨惡你、逼迫你的人身上。
8 And thou shalt return and obey the voice of the LORD, and do all his commandments which I command thee this day.
你必歸回,聽從耶和華的話,遵行他的一切誡命,就是我今日所吩咐你的。
9 And the LORD thy God will make thee to abound in every work of thy hand, in the fruit of thy body, and in the fruit of thy cattle, and in the fruit of thy land, for good: for the LORD will again rejoice over thee for good, as he rejoiced over thy fathers:
你若聽從耶和華-你上帝的話,謹守這律法書上所寫的誡命律例,又盡心盡性歸向耶和華-你的上帝,他必使你手裏所辦的一切事,並你身所生的,牲畜所下的,地土所產的,都綽綽有餘;因為耶和華必再喜悅你,降福與你,像從前喜悅你列祖一樣。
10 If thou shalt hearken to the voice of the LORD thy God, to keep his commandments and his statutes which are written in this book of the law, and if thou shalt turn to the LORD thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul.
11 For this commandment which I command thee this day, it is not hid from thee, neither is it far off.
「我今日所吩咐你的誡命不是你難行的,也不是離你遠的;
12 It is not in heaven, that thou shouldest say, Who shall go up for us to heaven, and bring it to us, that we may hear it, and do it?
不是在天上,使你說:『誰替我們上天取下來,使我們聽見可以遵行呢?』
13 Neither is it beyond the sea, that thou shouldest say, Who shall go over the sea for us, and bring it to us, that we may hear it, and do it?
也不是在海外,使你說:『誰替我們過海取了來,使我們聽見可以遵行呢?』
14 But the word is very near to thee, in thy mouth, and in thy heart, that thou mayest do it.
這話卻離你甚近,就在你口中,在你心裏,使你可以遵行。
15 See, I have set before thee this day life and good, and death and evil;
「看哪,我今日將生與福,死與禍,陳明在你面前。
16 In that I command thee this day to love the LORD thy God, to walk in his ways, and to keep his commandments and his statutes and his judgments, that thou mayest live and multiply: and the LORD thy God shall bless thee in the land where thou goest to possess it.
吩咐你愛耶和華-你的上帝,遵行他的道,謹守他的誡命、律例、典章,使你可以存活,人數增多,耶和華-你上帝就必在你所要進去得為業的地上賜福與你。
17 But if thy heart shall turn away, so that thou wilt not hear, but shalt be drawn away, and worship other gods, and serve them;
倘若你心裏偏離,不肯聽從,卻被勾引去敬拜事奉別神,
18 I declare to you this day, that ye shall surely perish, and that ye shall not prolong your days upon the land, where thou passest over Jordan to go to possess it.
我今日明明告訴你們,你們必要滅亡;在你過約旦河、進去得為業的地上,你的日子必不長久。
19 I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live:
我今日呼天喚地向你作見證;我將生死禍福陳明在你面前,所以你要揀選生命,使你和你的後裔都得存活;
20 That thou mayest love the LORD thy God, and that thou mayest obey his voice, and that thou mayest cleave to him: for he is thy life, and the length of thy days: that thou mayest dwell in the land which the LORD swore to thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give them.
且愛耶和華-你的上帝,聽從他的話,專靠他;因為他是你的生命,你的日子長久也在乎他。這樣,你就可以在耶和華向你列祖亞伯拉罕、以撒、雅各起誓應許所賜的地上居住。」
