¹爱　神是诫命中之诫命

¹`And this [is] the command, the statutes and the judgments which Jehovah your God hath commanded to teach you, to do in the land which ye are passing over thither to possess it,

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。

²so that thou dost fear Jehovah thy God, to keep all His statutes and His commands, which I am commanding thee, thou, and thy son, and thy son`s son, all days of thy life, and so that thy days are prolonged.

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。

³`And thou hast heard, O Israel, and observed to do, that it may be well with thee, and that thou mayest multiply exceedingly, as Jehovah, God of thy fathers, hath spoken to thee, [in] the land flowing with milk and honey.

⁴“以色列啊，你要听，耶和华我们的　神是独一的耶和华；

⁴`Hear, O Israel, Jehovah our God [is] one Jehovah;

⁵你要全心、全性、全力爱耶和华你的　神。

⁵and thou hast loved Jehovah thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might,

⁶我今日吩咐你的这些话，都要记在你的心上；

⁶and these words which I am commanding thee to-day have been on thine heart,

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。

⁷and thou hast repeated them to thy sons, and spoken of them in thy sitting in thine house, and in thy walking in the way, and in thy lying down, and in thy rising up,

⁸你也要把这些话系在手上作记号，戴在额上作头带。

⁸and hast bound them for a sign upon thy hand, and they have been for frontlets between thine eyes,

⁹又要写在你房屋的门柱上和城门上。

⁹and thou hast written them on door-posts of thy house, and on thy gates.

¹⁰不可随从、敬拜别的神“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，

¹⁰`And it hath been, when Jehovah thy God doth bring thee in unto the land which He hath sworn to thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give to thee — cities great and good, which thou hast not built,

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。

¹¹and houses full of all good things which thou hast not filled, and wells digged which thou hast not digged, vineyards and olive-yards which thou hast not planted, and thou hast eaten, and been satisfied;

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。

¹²`Take heed to thyself lest thou forget Jehovah who hath brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of a house of servants;

¹³你要敬畏耶和华你的　神，要事奉他，奉他的名起誓。

¹³Jehovah thy God thou dost fear, and Him thou dost serve, and by His name thou dost swear;

¹⁴不可随从别的神，就是你们周围各民族的神；

¹⁴ye do not go after other gods, of the gods of the peoples who [are] round about you;

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。

¹⁵for a zealous God [is] Jehovah thy God in thy midst — lest the anger of Jehovah thy God burn against thee, and He hath destroyed thee from off the face of the ground.

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。

¹⁶`Ye do not try Jehovah your God as ye tried in Massah;

¹⁷要谨慎遵守耶和华你们的　神吩咐你的诫命、法度和律例。

¹⁷ye do diligently keep the commands of Jehovah your God, and His testimonies, and His statutes which He hath commanded thee,

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，

¹⁸and thou hast done that which is right and good in the eyes of Jehovah, so that it is well with thee, and thou hast gone in and possessed the good land which Jehovah hath sworn to thy fathers,

¹⁹照着耶和华说过的，把你所有的仇敌从你面前赶逐出去。

¹⁹to drive away all thine enemies from thy presence, as Jehovah hath spoken.

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？’

²⁰`When thy son asketh thee hereafter, saying, What [are] the testimonies, and the statutes, and the judgments, which Jehovah our God hath commanded you?

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。

²¹then thou hast said to thy son, Servants we have been to Pharaoh in Egypt, and Jehovah bringeth us out of Egypt by a high hand;

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；

²²and Jehovah giveth signs and wonders, great and sad, on Egypt, on Pharaoh, and on all his house, before our eyes;

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。

²³and us He hath brought out thence, in order to bring us in, to give to us the land which He had sworn to our fathers.

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。

²⁴And Jehovah commandeth us to do all these statutes, to fear Jehovah our God, for good to ourselves all the days, to keep us alive, as [at] this day;

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。’”

²⁵and righteousness it is for us, when we observe to do all this command before Jehovah our God, as He hath commanded us.
