1.当所有这些事临到你身上，就是我所陈明在你面前的福祉和祸患，你在万军之耶和华你的神所赶你到的各国中，回想这些事的时候，When all these things befall you—the blessing and the curse that I have set before you—and you take them to heart amidst the various nations to which the ETERNAL your God has banished you,
2.当你归向永在的神，你和你的孩子全心全灵听从神的命令，正如我今日所吩咐你的，and you return to the ETERNAL your God, and you and your children heed God’s command with all your heart and soul, just as I enjoin upon you this day,
3.然后你的一神将使你重新获得繁荣，并且怀着爱心把你接回来。你将从永在你的一神将你驱散的各个民族中重新聚集在一起。就像一个家庭的主人让以前被逐出的家人重新回到家中一样，永在你的一神将怀着爱心把你接回来。then the ETERNAL your God will restore your fortunes and take you back in love. You will be brought together again from all the peoples where the ETERNAL your God has scattered you.
4.即使你的弃民在天涯海角，永在的神你的上帝也必从那里将你聚集，从那里领你回来。Even if your outcasts are at the ends of the world, from there the ETERNAL your God will gather you—from there you will be fetched.
5.耶和华你的神必将你领到你祖宗所承受的地上，你必承受那地；他也必使你比你祖宗更兴旺，更强盛。And the ETERNAL your God will bring you to the land that your ancestors possessed, and you shall possess it; and you will be made more prosperous and more numerous than your ancestors.
6.然后，你的神永恒主会开启你的心和你的后裔的心，好让你们尽心尽魂爱永恒主你的神，这样你们就可以活着。Then the ETERNAL your God will open up your heart and the hearts of your offspring—to love the ETERNAL your God with all your heart and soul, in order that you may live.
7.你永在的神必将这些咒诅都加在那些逼迫你、恨你的人和敌人身上。The ETERNAL your God will inflict all those curses upon the enemies and foes who persecuted you.
8.然而，你们将再次听从上帝，遵守我今日所吩咐你们的一切命令。You, however, will again heed GOD and obey all the commandments that I enjoin upon you this day.
9.耶和华你的神必使你所做的一切事都亨通，连你身所生的，地所产的，牲畜所下的，都亨通。因为耶和华再喜悦你，恩待你，如从前喜悦你列祖一样，And the ETERNAL your God will grant you abounding prosperity in all your undertakings, in your issue from the womb, the offspring of your cattle, and your produce from the soil. For GOD will again delight in your well-being as in that of your ancestors,
10.因为你们要听从你们的上帝永恒主并遵守这教训书上所记载的诫命和律法——你们要用全部的心和灵归向永恒主你们的上帝。since you will be heeding the ETERNAL your God and keeping the commandments and laws that are recorded in this book of the Teaching—once you return to the ETERNAL your God with all your heart and soul.
11.的确，我今日所吩咐你们的这条命令，不是难以理解的，也不是无法企及的。Surely, this Instruction that I enjoin upon you this day is not too baffling for you, nor is it beyond reach.
12.这律法不是在天上，以致谁能为我们上天取下来，传给我们，使我们听从遵行。It is not in the heavens, that you should say, “Who among us can go up to the heavens and get it for us and impart it to us, that we may observe it?”
13.也不是在海那边，你们说谁能替我们过海把它取来，使我们听见就遵行呢Neither is it beyond the sea, that you should say, “Who among us can cross to the other side of the sea and get it for us and impart it to us, that we may observe it?”
14.不，这事离你很近，就在你口中和心中，你可以遵行。No, the thing is very close to you, in your mouth and in your heart, to observe it.
15.看哪，我今日将生与福，死与祸，摆在你们面前。See, I set before you this day life and prosperity, death and adversity.
16.我今日所吩咐你的就是要爱耶和华你的神，遵行耶和华的道，谨守耶和华的诫命、律法、典章，使你可以享福、人数增多，耶和华你的神也必在你将要去承受为业的土地上赐福与你For I command you this day, to love the ETERNAL your God, to walk in God’s ways, and to keep God’s commandments, laws, and rules—that you may thrive and increase, and that the ETERNAL your God may bless you in the land that you are about to enter and possess.
17.但若你们的心偏离了，不再听从，竟去侍奉敬拜别神，But if your heart turns away and you give no heed, and are lured into the worship and service of other gods,
18.我今日向你们宣告，你们一定会灭亡，你们不得长久地居住在你们即将渡过约旦河进入并占领的那片土地上。I declare to you this day that you shall certainly perish; you shall not long endure on the soil that you are crossing the Jordan to enter and possess.
19.我今日召天地为证，对你们说：我将生死、福祉、祸咒摆在你们面前。你们要选择生命，这样你们和你们的后代就能活着，I call heaven and earth to witness against you this day: I have put before you life and death, blessing and curse. Choose life—if you and your offspring would live—
20.因为你要爱上帝你所崇拜的永恒主，遵守上帝的诫命，依附于上帝。这样你就可以获得生命，并长久地居住在上帝向你祖先亚伯拉罕、以撒和雅各应许要赐给他们的土地上。by loving the ETERNAL your God, by heeding God’s commands, and by holding fast to [God]. For thereby you shall have life and shall long endure upon the soil that GOD swore to your fathers Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, to give to them.
