1 You shall observe to do all the commandments which I command you today, that you may live, and multiply, and go in and possess the land which Yahweh swore to your fathers. 2 You shall remember all the way which Yahweh your God has led you these forty years in the wilderness, that he might humble you, to test you, to know what was in your heart, whether you would keep his commandments or not. 3 He humbled you, allowed you to be hungry, and fed you with manna, which you didn’t know, neither did your fathers know, that he might teach you that man does not live by bread only, but man lives by every word that proceeds out of Yahweh’s mouth. 4 Your clothing didn’t grow old on you, neither did your foot swell, these forty years. 5 You shall consider in your heart that as a man disciplines his son, so Yahweh your God disciplines you. 6 You shall keep the commandments of Yahweh your God, to walk in his ways, and to fear him. 7 For Yahweh your God brings you into a good land, a land of brooks of water, of springs, and underground water flowing into valleys and hills; 8 a land of wheat, barley, vines, fig trees, and pomegranates; a land of olive trees and honey; 9 a land in which you shall eat bread without scarcity, you shall not lack anything in it; a land whose stones are iron, and out of whose hills you may dig copper. 10 You shall eat and be full, and you shall bless Yahweh your God for the good land which he has given you.
11 Beware lest you forget Yahweh your God, in not keeping his commandments, his ordinances, and his statutes, which I command you today; 12 lest, when you have eaten and are full, and have built fine houses and lived in them; 13 and when your herds and your flocks multiply, and your silver and your gold is multiplied, and all that you have is multiplied; 14 then your heart might be lifted up, and you forget Yahweh your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage; 15 who led you through the great and terrible wilderness, with venomous snakes and scorpions, and thirsty ground where there was no water; who poured water for you out of the rock of flint; 16 who fed you in the wilderness with manna, which your fathers didn’t know, that he might humble you, and that he might prove you, to do you good at your latter end; 17 and lest you say in your heart, "My power and the might of my hand has gotten me this wealth." 18 But you shall remember Yahweh your God, for it is he who gives you power to get wealth, that he may establish his covenant which he swore to your fathers, as it is today.
19 It shall be, if you shall forget Yahweh your God, and walk after other gods, and serve them and worship them, I testify against you today that you shall surely perish. 20 As the nations that Yahweh makes to perish before you, so you shall perish, because you wouldn’t listen to Yahweh your God’s voice.
1 "我今日吩咐你的一切诫命， 你们要谨守遵行， 使你们可以存活， 人数增加， 并且可以进去得着耶和华向你们的列祖起誓应许的那地。
2 你也要记念耶和华你的 神这四十年在旷野引导你的一切路程， 为要使你受苦， 要试炼你， 要知道你心里怎样， 看看你肯守他的诫命不肯。
3 他使你受苦， 任你饥饿， 把你和你的列祖不认识的吗哪赐给你吃， 使你知道人活着， 不是单靠食物， 更要靠耶和华口里所出的一切话。
4 这四十年来， 你身上的衣服没有穿破， 你的脚也没有肿起来。
5 因此你心里要明白， 耶和华你的 神管教你， 好像人管教他的儿子一样。
6 所以你要谨守耶和华你的 神的诫命， 遵行他的道路， 敬畏他。
7 因为耶和华你的 神快要领你进入那美地； 那地有河流， 有泉， 有源， 水从谷中和山上流出来；
8 那地有小麦、大麦、葡萄树、无花果树、石榴树； 那地有橄榄树、油和蜜；
9 你在那地必不缺乏食物， 在那里你必一无所缺； 那地的石头就是铁； 从那里的山上， 你可以挖出铜来。
10 你吃饱了， 就要称颂耶和华你的 神， 因为他把那美地赐了给你。
11 "你要自己谨慎， 免得忘记耶和华你的 神， 不守他的诫命、典章、律例， 就是我今日吩咐你的；
12 恐怕你吃饱了， 建造美好的房屋居住，
13 你的牛羊加多， 你的金银增添， 你所有的一切都增加了，
14 那时， 你就心高气傲， 忘记了耶和华你的 神， 就是把你从埃及地， 从为奴之家领出来的那一位。
15 他引导你走过那大而可畏的旷野， 那里有火蛇， 有蝎子， 有干旱无水之地； 他曾经为你使水从坚硬的磐石中流出来。
16 他在旷野把你的列祖不认识的吗哪赐给你吃， 是要使你受苦， 要试炼你， 使你终久得到福乐；
17 恐怕你心里说： ‘这财富是我的力量， 是我手的能力使我得着的。’
18 你要记念耶和华你的 神， 因为得财富的能力是他赐给你的， 为要坚定他向你的列祖起誓所立的约， 像今天一样。
19 如果将来你真的忘记了耶和华你的 神， 去随从别的神， 事奉和敬拜他们， 你们必定灭亡， 这是我今日警告你们的。
20 耶和华从你们面前怎样使万国的民灭亡， 你们也必照样灭亡， 因为你们没有听从耶和华你们 神的话。"
