1All the commandments which I command thee this day shall ye observe to do, that ye may live, and multiply, and go in and possess the land which the LORD sware unto your fathers. 2And thou shalt remember all the way which the LORD thy God led thee these forty years in the wilderness, to humble thee, and to prove thee, to know what was in thine heart, whether thou wouldest keep his commandments, or no. 3And he humbled thee, and suffered thee to hunger, and fed thee with manna, which thou knewest not, neither did thy fathers know; that he might make thee know that man doth not live by bread only, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of the LORD doth man live. 4Thy raiment waxed not old upon thee, neither did thy foot swell, these forty years. 5Thou shalt also consider in thine heart, that, as a man chasteneth his son, so the LORD thy God chasteneth thee. 6Therefore thou shalt keep the commandments of the LORD thy God, to walk in his ways, and to fear him. 7For the LORD thy God bringeth thee into a good land, a land of brooks of water, of fountains and depths that spring out of valleys and hills; 8A land of wheat, and barley, and vines, and fig trees, and pomegranates; a land of oil olive, and honey;8.8 of oil…: Heb. of olive tree of oil 9A land wherein thou shalt eat bread without scarceness, thou shalt not lack any thing in it; a land whose stones are iron, and out of whose hills thou mayest dig brass.
10When thou hast eaten and art full, then thou shalt bless the LORD thy God for the good land which he hath given thee. 11Beware that thou forget not the LORD thy God, in not keeping his commandments, and his judgments, and his statutes, which I command thee this day: 12Lest when thou hast eaten and art full, and hast built goodly houses, and dwelt therein; 13And when thy herds and thy flocks multiply, and thy silver and thy gold is multiplied, and all that thou hast is multiplied; 14Then thine heart be lifted up, and thou forget the LORD thy God, which brought thee forth out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage; 15Who led thee through that great and terrible wilderness, wherein were fiery serpents, and scorpions, and drought, where there was no water; who brought thee forth water out of the rock of flint; 16Who fed thee in the wilderness with manna, which thy fathers knew not, that he might humble thee, and that he might prove thee, to do thee good at thy latter end; 17And thou say in thine heart, My power and the might of mine hand hath gotten me this wealth. 18But thou shalt remember the LORD thy God: for it is he that giveth thee power to get wealth, that he may establish his covenant which he sware unto thy fathers, as it is this day. 19And it shall be, if thou do at all forget the LORD thy God, and walk after other gods, and serve them, and worship them, I testify against you this day that ye shall surely perish. 20As the nations which the LORD destroyeth before your face, so shall ye perish; because ye would not be obedient unto the voice of the LORD your God.
不可忘记耶和华
1“你们要谨遵我今日吩咐你们的一切诫命，以便能够存活，生养众多，并且得到耶和华起誓要赐给你们祖先的土地。 2要记住这四十年来你们的上帝耶和华怎样在旷野引领你们，祂磨炼你们、考验你们，好知道你们的心意如何、肯不肯遵守祂的诫命。 3祂让你们忍饥挨饿，然后赐给你们祖祖辈辈从未见过的吗哪吃，为了使你们明白人活着不是单靠食物，乃是靠祂口中的每一句话。 4这四十年来，你们的衣服没有穿破，双脚也没有走肿。 5你们心里要明白，你们的上帝耶和华管教你们，如同父亲管教儿子。
6“所以，你们要遵守你们的上帝耶和华的诫命，行祂的道，敬畏祂， 7因为祂要带你们到一个佳美之地。那里的谷中和山间流淌着条条溪流、股股清泉； 8那里盛产大麦、小麦、葡萄、无花果、石榴、橄榄油和蜂蜜； 9那里食物充足，一无所缺；那里矿产资源丰富，石头就是铁，山中可以采铜。 10你们吃饱喝足后，要赞美你们的上帝耶和华，因为祂赐给你们那佳美之地。
11“你们要谨慎，免得忘记你们的上帝耶和华，不遵守我今天吩咐你们的诫命、典章和律例。 12当你们丰衣足食、居室华美、 13牛羊众多、金银日增的时候， 14切勿心骄气傲，忘记你们的上帝耶和华。祂把你们从受奴役之地——埃及救出来， 15带领你们走过干旱、可怕、毒蛇和蝎子出没的大旷野。祂使坚硬的磐石流出水来给你们喝， 16在旷野中把你们祖先从未见过的吗哪赐给你们吃，为要磨炼你们、考验你们，使你们最终得到益处。 17你们切勿以为是凭自己的双手和能力致富的。 18要记住，是你们的上帝耶和华赐给你们致富的能力，为要坚立祂给你们祖先的誓约，正如今日的情形。
19“我今天警告你们，如果你们忘记你们的上帝耶和华，去追随、供奉、祭拜其他神明，你们必灭亡。 20如果你们不听从你们的上帝耶和华，你们必灭亡，正如祂使列国在你们面前灭亡一样。
