申命記 6:1-25

最大的誡命

1「你們的上帝耶和華吩咐我教導你們以下的誡命、律例和典章,以便你們在將要佔領的土地上遵行。 2這樣,你們就會得享長壽,你們及子孫就會終生敬畏你們的上帝耶和華,遵守祂藉我吩咐你們的一切律例和誡命。 3以色列人啊,你們要留心聽,謹慎遵行,以便你們在那奶蜜之鄉可以凡事順利、子孫眾多,正如你們祖先的上帝耶和華給你們的應許。 4聽啊,以色列人,耶和華是我們的上帝,耶和華是獨一的。 5你們要全心、全意、全力愛你們的上帝耶和華。 6要將我今天吩咐你們的話牢記在心, 7並教導你們的兒女,無論在家在外,或起或臥,都要講論這些律例和誡命。 8要把它們繫在手上、戴在額上作記號, 9要寫在城門上和自家的門框上。

10「你們的上帝耶和華將帶你們進入祂向你們祖先亞伯拉罕以撒雅各起誓要賜給你們的土地。那裡的宏偉城邑不是你們建造的, 11滿屋的美物不是你們積攢的,井不是你們挖掘的,葡萄園和橄欖樹也不是你們栽種的。你們在那裡吃飽喝足之後, 12要小心,不可忘記把你們從受奴役之地——埃及救出來的耶和華。 13要敬畏你們的上帝耶和華,事奉祂,憑祂的名起誓。 14不可隨從周圍各族的神明, 15免得你們的上帝耶和華向你們發怒,把你們從世上消滅;因為祂住在你們當中,祂痛恨不貞。

16「不可像在瑪撒那樣試探你們的上帝耶和華。 17要謹遵你們的上帝耶和華吩咐你們的誡命、法度和律例。 18你們要做耶和華視為正與善的事,以便你們可以凡事順利,得到耶和華起誓賜給你們祖先的佳美之地, 19趕出所有敵人,正如耶和華所言。

20「將來你們的子孫會問,『我們的上帝耶和華給你們頒佈這些法度、律例和典章是什麼意思?』 21你們要告訴他們,『我們曾在埃及做法老的奴隸,耶和華用大能的手領我們離開埃及22我們親眼看見耶和華行偉大而可畏的神蹟奇事,懲罰埃及和法老全家。 23祂帶領我們離開埃及,為要把我們帶進祂起誓賜給我們祖先的這片土地。 24我們的上帝耶和華吩咐我們遵守這一切律例、敬畏祂,以便我們可以常常受益,生命無憂,正如今日的情形。 25如果我們按照我們的上帝耶和華的吩咐,在祂面前謹遵這一切誡命,我們便被算為義人。』

Deuteronomy 6:1-25

Love the Lord Your God

1The Lord your God has directed me to teach you his commands, rules and laws. Obey them in the land you will take over when you go across the Jordan River. 2Then you, your children and their children after them will honor the Lord your God as long as you live. Obey all his rules and commands I’m giving you. If you do, you will enjoy long life. 3Israel, listen to me. Make sure you obey me. Then things will go well with you. The number of your people will increase greatly in a land that has plenty of milk and honey. That’s what the Lord, the God of your parents, promised you.

4Israel, listen to me. The Lord is our God. The Lord is the one and only God. 5Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul. Love him with all your strength. 6The commandments I give you today must be in your hearts. 7Make sure your children learn them. Talk about them when you are at home. Talk about them when you walk along the road. Speak about them when you go to bed. And speak about them when you get up. 8Write them down and tie them on your hands as a reminder. Also tie them on your foreheads. 9Write them on the doorframes of your houses. Also write them on your gates.

10The Lord your God will bring you into the land of Canaan. He gave his word. He promised he would give the land to your fathers, to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. The land has large, wealthy cities you didn’t build. 11It has houses filled with all kinds of good things you didn’t provide. The land has wells you didn’t dig. And it has vineyards and groves of olive trees you didn’t plant. You will have plenty to eat. 12But be careful that you don’t forget the Lord. Remember that he brought you out of Egypt. That’s the land where you were slaves.

13Worship the Lord your God. He is the only one you should serve. When you make promises, do so in his name. 14Don’t serve the gods of the nations around you. 15The Lord your God is among you. He wants you to worship only him. If you worship other gods, God will be very angry with you. And he will destroy you from the face of the land. 16Don’t test the Lord your God as you did at Massah. 17Be sure to obey the Lord’s commands. Obey the terms and rules he has given you. 18Do what is right and good in the Lord’s eyes. Then things will go well with you. You will go in and take over the land. It’s the good land the Lord promised to your people of long ago. 19You will drive out all your enemies to make room for you. That’s what the Lord said would happen.

20Later on, your child might ask you, “What is the meaning of the terms, rules and laws the Lord our God has commanded you to obey?” 21If they do ask you, tell them, “We were Pharaoh’s slaves in Egypt. But the Lord used his mighty hand to bring us out of Egypt. 22With our own eyes we saw the Lord send amazing signs. They were great and terrible. He sent them on Egypt and Pharaoh and everyone in his house. 23But the Lord brought us out of Egypt. He planned to bring us into the land of Canaan and give it to us. It’s the land he promised to our people of long ago. 24The Lord our God commanded us to obey all his rules. He commanded us to honor him. If we do, we will always succeed and be kept alive. That’s what is happening today. 25We must make sure we obey the whole law in the sight of the Lord our God. That’s what he has commanded us to do. If we obey his law, we’ll be doing what he requires of us.”
