1 Now these are the commandments, the statutes, and the judgments, which the LORD your God commanded to teach you, that ye might do them in the land whither ye go to possess it: 2 That thou mightest fear the LORD thy God, to keep all his statutes and his commandments, which I command thee, thou, and thy son, and thy son’s son, all the days of thy life; and that thy days may be prolonged.

3 Hear therefore, O Israel, and observe to do it; that it may be well with thee, and that ye may increase mightily, as the LORD God of thy fathers hath promised thee, in the land that floweth with milk and honey.

4 Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God is one LORD: 5 And thou shalt love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might. 6 And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be in thine heart: 7 And thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up. 8 And thou shalt bind them for a sign upon thine hand, and they shall be as frontlets between thine eyes. 9 And thou shalt write them upon the posts of thy house, and on thy gates. 10 And it shall be, when the LORD thy God shall have brought thee into the land which he sware unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give thee great and goodly cities, which thou buildedst not, 11 And houses full of all good things, which thou filledst not, and wells digged, which thou diggedst not, vineyards and olive trees, which thou plantedst not; when thou shalt have eaten and be full; 12 Then beware lest thou forget the LORD, which brought thee forth out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage. 13 Thou shalt fear the LORD thy God, and serve him, and shalt swear by his name. 14 Ye shall not go after other gods, of the gods of the people which are round about you; 15 (For the LORD thy God is a jealous God among you) lest the anger of the LORD thy God be kindled against thee, and destroy thee from off the face of the earth.

16 Ye shall not tempt the LORD your God, as ye tempted him in Massah.

17 Ye shall diligently keep the commandments of the LORD your God, and his testimonies, and his statutes, which he hath commanded thee. 18 And thou shalt do that which is right and good in the sight of the LORD: that it may be well with thee, and that thou mayest go in and possess the good land which the LORD sware unto thy fathers, 19 To cast out all thine enemies from before thee, as the LORD hath spoken. 20 And when thy son asketh thee in time to come, saying, What mean the testimonies, and the statutes, and the judgments, which the LORD our God hath commanded you? 21 Then thou shalt say unto thy son, We were Pharaoh’s bondmen in Egypt; and the LORD brought us out of Egypt with a mighty hand: 22 And the LORD shewed signs and wonders, great and sore, upon Egypt, upon Pharaoh, and upon all his household, before our eyes: 23 And he brought us out from thence, that he might bring us in, to give us the land which he sware unto our fathers. 24 And the LORD commanded us to do all these statutes, to fear the LORD our God, for our good always, that he might preserve us alive, as it is at this day. 25 And it shall be our righteousness, if we observe to do all these commandments before the LORD our God, as he hath commanded us.

1 "以下是耶和华你们的 神吩咐我教导你们的诫命、律例、典章， 使你们在将要过去占领为业的地上遵行，

2 好叫你和你的子子孙孙一生一世敬畏耶和华你的 神， 遵守他的一切律例、诫命， 就是我吩咐你的， 使你的日子可以长久。

3 以色列啊， 你要听从， 就谨守遵行， 使你在流奶与蜜的地可以享福， 人数大大增多， 像耶和华你列祖的 神应许你的。

4 "以色列啊， 你要听， 耶和华我们的 神是独一的耶和华；

5 你要全心、全性、全力爱耶和华你的 神。

6 我今日吩咐你的这些话， 都要记在你的心上；

7 你要把这些话不断地教训你的儿女， 无论你坐在家里， 或行在路上， 或躺下， 或起来的时候， 都要谈论。

8 你也要把这些话系在手上作记号， 戴在额上作头带。

9 又要写在你房屋的门柱上和城门上。

10 "耶和华你的 神领你进入他向你列祖亚伯拉罕、以撒、雅各起誓应许给你的地； 那里有不是你建造的， 又高大又美丽的城市，

11 有装满各样美物的房子， 不是你装满的； 有凿成的水池， 不是你凿成的； 还有葡萄园和橄榄园， 不是你栽种的； 你可以吃， 并且吃得饱足。

12 那时， 你要谨慎， 免得你忘记了耶和华， 就是把你从埃及地， 从为奴之家领出来的那一位。

13 你要敬畏耶和华你的 神， 要事奉他， 奉他的名起誓。

14 不可随从别的神， 就是你们周围各民族的神；

15 因为在你们中间的耶和华你们的 神， 是忌邪的 神， 恐怕耶和华你的 神向你发怒， 就把你从这地上消灭。

16 "你们不可试探耶和华你们的 神， 像你们在玛撒试探他一样。

17 要谨慎遵守耶和华你们的 神吩咐你的诫命、法度和律例。

18 耶和华看为正为好的事， 你都要去行， 使你可以享福， 并且可以进去占领耶和华向你的列祖起誓应许的那美地，

19 照着耶和华说过的， 把你所有的仇敌从你面前赶逐出去。

20 "日后， 如果你的儿子问你： ‘耶和华我们的 神吩咐的这法度、律例和典章， 有什么意思呢？’

21 你就要对你的儿子说： ‘我们在埃及曾经作过法老的奴仆， 耶和华却用大能把我们从埃及领了出来。

22 耶和华在我们眼前， 把又伟大又厉害的神迹奇事行在埃及、法老和他全家的身上；

23 却把我们从那里领出来， 为要领我们进入他向我们列祖起誓应许的地， 要把这地赐给我们。

24 耶和华又吩咐我们遵行这一切律例， 敬畏耶和华我们的 神， 使我们常常得享福乐， 使我们的生命得着保全， 像今日一样。

25 我们在耶和华我们的 神面前， 如果照着他吩咐我们的， 谨守遵行这一切诫命， 这就是我们的义了。’"
