Deuteronomy 30

1 “When all these things come upon you—the blessings and curses I have set before you—and you call them to mind in all the nations to which the LORD your God has banished you,

1 “当我向你们陈明的这些祝福和咒诅都应验在你们身上时，如果你们在你们的上帝耶和华驱逐你们去的各国中回想这些话，

2 and when you and your children return to the LORD your God and obey His voice with all your heart and all your soul according to everything I am giving you today,

2 归向你们的上帝耶和华，你们及子孙照我今天的吩咐，全心全意地听从祂的话，

3 then He will restore you from captivity and have compassion on you and gather you from all the nations to which the LORD your God has scattered you.

3 祂必改变你们被掳的境遇，怜悯你们，把你们从祂驱逐你们去的列国招聚回来。

4 Even if you have been banished to the farthest horizon, He will gather you and return you from there.

4 即使你们被驱逐到天涯，你们的上帝耶和华也会召集你们，带你们回来，

5 And the LORD your God will bring you into the land your fathers possessed, and you will take possession of it. He will cause you to prosper and multiply more than your fathers.

5 带到你们祖先的土地上，使你们拥有那片土地，比你们祖先更加人丁兴旺、繁荣昌盛。

6 The LORD your God will circumcise your hearts and the hearts of your descendants, and you will love Him with all your heart and with all your soul, so that you may live.

6 你们的上帝耶和华要洁净你们和你们子孙的心，好让你们全心全意地爱祂，并且存活。

7 Then the LORD your God will put all these curses upon your enemies who hate you and persecute you.

7 你们的上帝耶和华要把所有的咒诅加在你们的仇敌及憎恶你们、迫害你们的人身上。

8 And you will again obey the voice of the LORD and follow all His commandments I am giving you today.

8 你们必再次听从耶和华，遵行今天祂借我吩咐你们的一切诫命。

9 So the LORD your God will make you abound in all the work of your hands and in the fruit of your womb, the offspring of your livestock, and the produce of your land. Indeed, the LORD will again delight in your prosperity, as He delighted in that of your fathers,

9–10 倘若你们听从你们的上帝耶和华的话，遵守这律法书上的诫命和律例，全心全意地归向祂，祂必使你们凡事蒙福、儿女众多、牛羊成群、五谷丰登。因为祂必乐意再次赐福你们，像从前赐福你们祖先一样。

10 if you obey the LORD your God by keeping His commandments and statutes that are written in this Book of the Law, and if you turn to Him with all your heart and with all your soul.

11 For this commandment I give you today is not too difficult for you or beyond your reach.

11 “我今天颁布给你们的诫命，对你们来说不难，也非遥不可及。

12 It is not in heaven, that you should need to ask, ‘Who will ascend into heaven to get it for us and proclaim it, that we may obey it?’

12 这诫命并非在天上，以致你们说，‘谁替我们上天取下来，讲给我们听，让我们遵行呢？’

13 And it is not beyond the sea, that you should need to ask, ‘Who will cross the sea to get it for us and proclaim it, that we may obey it?’

13 这诫命也不在海的彼岸，以致你们说，‘谁替我们过海取来，讲给我们听，好让我们遵行呢？’

14 But the word is very near you; it is in your mouth and in your heart, so that you may obey it.

14 这话语近在咫尺，就在你口里，在你心中，好让你遵行。

15 See, I have set before you today life and prosperity, as well as death and disaster.

15 “看啊，今天我把生死祸福摆在你们面前。

16 For I am commanding you today to love the LORD your God, to walk in His ways, and to keep His commandments, statutes, and ordinances, so that you may live and increase, and the LORD your God may bless you in the land that you are entering to possess.

16 我今天吩咐你们要爱你们的上帝耶和华，遵行祂的旨意，遵守祂的诫命、律例和典章，以便你们可以存活，人丁兴旺，在你们将要占领的土地上蒙祂赐福。

17 But if your heart turns away and you do not listen, but are drawn away to bow down to other gods and worship them,

17 但倘若你们心中偏离，不肯听从，被引诱去祭拜、供奉其他神明，

18 I declare to you today that you will surely perish; you shall not prolong your days in the land that you are crossing the Jordan to possess.

18 我今天警告你们，你们必定灭亡，在约旦河西岸你们将要去占领的土地上无法长久。

19 I call heaven and earth as witnesses against you today that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing. Therefore choose life, so that you and your descendants may live,

19 今天，我叫天地为你们作证，我已把生死祸福摆在你们面前。选择生命吧，以便你们及子孙可以存活。

20 and that you may love the LORD your God, obey Him, and hold fast to Him. For He is your life, and He will prolong your life in the land that the LORD swore to give to your fathers, to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.”

20 要爱你们的上帝耶和华，听从祂的话，倚靠祂，因为祂是你们的生命，祂必使你们长久住在祂起誓要赐给你们祖先亚伯拉罕、以撒和雅各的土地上。”
