¹要记念耶和华你的　神

¹`All the command which I am commanding thee to-day ye observe to do, so that ye live, and have multiplied, and gone in, and possessed the land which Jehovah hath sworn to your fathers;

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。

²and thou hast remembered all the way which Jehovah thy God hath caused thee to go these forty years in the wilderness, in order to humble thee to try thee, to know that which [is] in thy heart, whether thou dost keep His commands or not.

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。

³`And He doth humble thee, and cause thee to hunger and doth cause thee to eat the manna (which thou hast not known, even thy fathers have not known), in order to cause thee to know that not by bread alone doth man live, but by every produce of the mouth of Jehovah man doth live.

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。

⁴`Thy raiment hath not worn out from off thee, and thy foot hath not swelled these forty years,

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。

⁵and thou hast known, with thy heart, that as a man chastiseth his son Jehovah thy God is chastising thee,

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。

⁶and thou hast kept the commands of Jehovah thy God, to walk in His ways, and to fear Him.

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；

⁷`For Jehovah thy God is bringing thee in unto a good land, a land of brooks of waters, of fountains, and of depths coming out in valley and in mountain:

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；

⁸a land of wheat, and barley, and vine, and fig, and pomegranate; a land of oil olive and honey;

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。

⁹a land in which without scarcity thou dost eat bread, thou dost not lack anything in it; a land whose stones [are] iron, and out of its mountains thou dost dig brass;

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。

¹⁰and thou hast eaten, and been satisfied, and hast blessed Jehovah thy God, on the good land which he hath given to thee.

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；

¹¹`Take heed to thyself, lest thou forget Jehovah thy God so as not to keep His commands, and His judgments, and His statutes which I am commanding thee to-day;

¹²恐怕你吃饱了，建造美好的房屋居住，

¹²lest thou eat, and hast been satisfied, and good houses dost build, and hast inhabited;

¹³你的牛羊加多，你的金银增添，你所有的一切都增加了，

¹³and thy herd and thy flock be multiplied, and silver and gold be multiplied to thee; and all that is thine be multiplied:

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。

¹⁴`And thy heart hath been high, and thou hast forgotten Jehovah thy God (who is bringing thee out of the land of Egypt, out of a house of servants;

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。

¹⁵who is causing thee to go in the great and the terrible wilderness — burning serpent, and scorpion, and thirst — where there is no water; who is bringing out to thee waters from the flinty rock;

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；

¹⁶who is causing thee to eat manna in the wilderness, which thy fathers have not known, in order to humble thee, and in order to try thee, to do thee good in thy latter end),

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。’

¹⁷and thou hast said in thy heart, My power, and the might of my hand, hath made for me this wealth:

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。

¹⁸`And thou hast remembered Jehovah thy God, for He it [is] who is giving to thee power to make wealth, in order to establish His covenant which He hath sworn to thy fathers as [at] this day.

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。

¹⁹`And it hath been — if thou really forget Jehovah thy God, and hast gone after other gods, and served them, and bowed thyself to them, I have testified against you to-day that ye do utterly perish;

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。”

²⁰as the nations whom Jehovah is destroying from your presence, so ye perish; because ye hearken not to the voice of Jehovah your God.
