Deuteronomy 11

1 You shall therefore love the LORD your God and always keep His charge, His statutes, His ordinances, and His commandments.

1 “你们要爱你们的上帝耶和华，时刻遵守祂的吩咐、律例、典章和诫命。

2 Know this day that it is not your children who have known and seen the discipline of the LORD your God: His greatness, His mighty hand, and His outstretched arm;

2 要记住，我现在是对你们，而不是对你们的孩子说话。他们没有亲身经历、亲眼见过你们上帝耶和华的管教、威严、大能的手和伸出的臂膀；

3 the signs and works He did in Egypt to Pharaoh king of Egypt and all his land;

3 祂怎样在埃及行神迹奇事对付埃及王法老及其整个国家；

4 what He did to the Egyptian army and horses and chariots when He made the waters of the Red Sea engulf them as they pursued you, and how He destroyed them completely, even to this day;

4 怎样使红海淹没追赶你们的埃及军队和车马，将他们永远毁灭；

5 what He did for you in the wilderness until you reached this place;

5 怎样在旷野一路看顾你们，一直来到这里；

6 and what He did in the midst of all the Israelites to Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab the Reubenite, when the earth opened its mouth and swallowed them, their households, their tents, and every living thing that belonged to them.

6 怎样对付吕便人以利押的儿子大坍和亚比兰，使大地在以色列人当中裂开，吞没了他们及其家人、帐篷和所有随从。

7 For it is your own eyes that have seen every great work that the LORD has done.

7 你们亲眼目睹了耶和华的这些伟大作为。

8 You shall therefore keep every commandment I am giving you today, so that you may have the strength to go in and possess the land that you are crossing the Jordan to possess,

8 “因此，你们要遵守我今天吩咐你们的诫命，以便有力量过河，攻取你们将要攻取的土地，

9 and so that you may live long in the land that the LORD swore to your fathers to give them and their descendants, a land flowing with milk and honey.

9 长久居住在耶和华起誓要赐给你们祖先及其后裔的奶蜜之乡。

10 For the land that you are entering to possess is not like the land of Egypt, from which you have come, where you sowed your seed and irrigated on foot, like a vegetable garden.

10 你们将要攻取的那片土地不像你们离开的埃及。在埃及你们撒种后，要像浇菜园一样辛勤灌溉 。

11 But the land that you are crossing the Jordan to possess is a land of mountains and valleys that drinks in the rain from heaven.

11 而你们将要占领的那片土地却有山有谷，雨水充足，

12 It is a land for which the LORD your God cares; the eyes of the LORD your God are always on it, from the beginning to the end of the year.

12 你们的上帝耶和华从岁首到年终时时看顾那里。

13 So if you carefully obey the commandments I am giving you today, to love the LORD your God and to serve Him with all your heart and with all your soul,

13 “如果你们谨遵我今天吩咐你们的诫命，全心全意地爱你们的上帝耶和华，事奉祂，

14 then I will provide rain for your land in season, the autumn and spring rains, that you may gather your grain, new wine, and oil.

14 祂就会按时给你们的土地降下秋雨和春雨，使你们收获谷物、新酒和油，

15 And I will provide grass in the fields for your livestock, and you will eat and be satisfied.

15 有草场饲养牲畜，丰衣足食。

16 But be careful that you are not enticed to turn aside to worship and bow down to other gods,

16 你们要谨慎，免得被迷惑，转而供奉、祭拜其他神明。

17 or the anger of the LORD will be kindled against you. He will shut the heavens so that there will be no rain, nor will the land yield its produce, and you will soon perish from the good land that the LORD is giving you.

17 否则，耶和华必向你们发怒，使天不下雨、地无出产，以致你们在祂赐给你们的佳美之地上迅速灭亡。

18 Fix these words of mine in your hearts and minds; tie them as reminders on your hands and bind them on your foreheads.

18 “所以，你们要把我的这些吩咐铭记在心，系在手上，戴在额上作记号；

19 Teach them to your children, speaking about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up.

19 要用这些话教导你们的儿女，无论坐在家里或行在路上，或起或卧，都要讲论；

20 Write them on the doorposts of your houses and on your gates,

20 也要写在城门上和自家的门框上。

21 so that as long as the heavens are above the earth, your days and those of your children may be multiplied in the land that the LORD swore to give your fathers.

21 这样，你们及子孙就可以生活在耶和华起誓要赐给你们祖先的土地上，与天地同长。

22 For if you carefully keep all these commandments I am giving you to follow—to love the LORD your God, to walk in all His ways, and to hold fast to Him—

22 如果你们谨遵我吩咐你们的这一切诫命——爱你们的上帝耶和华，遵行祂的旨意，依靠祂，

23 then the LORD will drive out all these nations before you, and you will dispossess nations greater and stronger than you.

23 耶和华就会为你们赶走那些比你们强大的民族，你们也必占领他们的土地。

24 Every place where the sole of your foot treads will be yours. Your territory will extend from the wilderness to Lebanon, and from the Euphrates River to the Western Sea.

24 你们脚掌踏过的地方都要归你们。你们的疆界南到旷野，北到黎巴嫩，东到幼发拉底大河，西到地中海。

25 No man will be able to stand against you; the LORD your God will put the fear and dread of you upon all the land, wherever you set foot, as He has promised you.

25 所到之处无人能抵挡你们，因为你们的上帝耶和华会使那些地方的人对你们充满惧怕，正如祂对你们的应许。

26 See, today I am setting before you a blessing and a curse—

26 “看啊，我今天把祝福和咒诅摆在你们面前。

27 a blessing if you obey the commandments of the LORD your God that I am giving you today,

27 你们若遵行我今天吩咐你们的诫命，就会蒙福。

28 but a curse if you disobey the commandments of the LORD your God and turn aside from the path I command you today by following other gods, which you have not known.

28 你们若不遵行你们的上帝耶和华的诫命，偏离我今天吩咐你们当走的道路，随从不认识的其他神明，必受咒诅。

29 When the LORD your God brings you into the land you are entering to possess, you are to proclaim the blessing on Mount Gerizim and the curse on Mount Ebal.

29 你们的上帝耶和华带领你们进入并占领那片土地时，你们要在基利心山上宣告祝福，在以巴路山上宣告咒诅。

30 Are not these mountains across the Jordan, west of the road toward the sunset, in the land of the Canaanites who live in the Arabah opposite Gilgal near the Oak of Moreh?

30 基利心山和以巴路山属于住在亚拉巴的迦南人，位于约旦河西岸的日落之处，在吉甲对面，靠近摩利橡树。

31 For you are about to cross the Jordan to enter and possess the land that the LORD your God is giving you. When you take possession of it and settle in it,

31 你们就要穿过约旦河，占领耶和华赐给你们的土地了。你们占领那里并定居下来以后，

32 be careful to follow all the statutes and ordinances that I am setting before you today.

32 要谨遵我今天颁布给你们的一切律例和典章。
