Deuteronomy 30:11 (NET) New English Translation

1 "When you have experienced all these things, both the blessings and the curses I have set before you, you will reflect upon them in all the nations where the LORD your God has banished you.
2 Then if you and your descendants turn to the LORD your God and obey him with your whole mind and being just as I am commanding you today,
3 the LORD your God will reverse your captivity and have pity on you. He will turn and gather you from all the peoples among whom he has scattered you.
4 Even if your exiles are in the most distant land, from there the LORD your God will gather you and bring you back.
5 Then he will bring you to the land your ancestors possessed and you also will possess it; he will do better for you and multiply you more than he did your ancestors.
6 The LORD your God will also cleanse your heart and the hearts of your descendants so that you may love him with all your mind and being and so that you may live.
7 Then the LORD your God will put all these curses on your enemies, on those who hate you and persecute you.
8 You will return and obey the LORD, keeping all his commandments I am giving you today.
9 The LORD your God will make the labor of your hands abundantly successful and multiply your children, the offspring of your cattle, and the produce of your soil. For the LORD your God will once more rejoice over you to make you prosperous just as he rejoiced over your ancestors,
10 if you obey the LORD your God and keep his commandments and statutes that are written in this scroll of the law. But you must turn to him with your whole mind and being.
11 "This commandment I am giving you today is not too difficult for you, nor is it too remote.
12 It is not in heaven, as though one must say, "Who will go up to heaven to get it for us and proclaim it to us so we may obey it?"
13 And it is not across the sea, as though one must say, "Who will cross over to the other side of the sea and get it for us and proclaim it to us so we may obey it?"
14 For the thing is very near you— it is in your mouth and in your mind so that you can do it.
15 "Look! I have set before you today life and prosperity on the one hand, and death and disaster on the other.
16 What I am commanding you today is to love the LORD your God, to walk in his ways, and to obey his commandments, his statutes, and his ordinances. Then you will live and become numerous and the LORD your God will bless you in the land which you are about to possess.
17 However, if you turn aside and do not obey, but are lured away to worship and serve other gods,
18 I declare to you this very day that you will certainly perish! You will not extend your time in the land you are crossing the Jordan to possess.
19 Today I invoke heaven and earth as a witness against you that I have set life and death, blessing and curse, before you. Therefore choose life so that you and your descendants may live!
20 I also call on you to love the LORD your God, to obey him and be loyal to him, for he gives you life and enables you to live continually in the land the LORD promised to give to your ancestors Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob."
1 And it shall come to pass H1961 W-VQQ3MS , when H3588 all H3605 NMS these H428 D-DPRO-3MP things H1697 AMP are come H935 VQY3MP upon H5921 PREP-2MS thee , the blessing H1293 and the curse H7045 , which H834 RPRO I have set H5414 VQQ1MS before H6440 L-CMP-2MS thee , and thou shalt call H7725 them to H413 PREP mind H3824 among all H3605 NMS the nations H1471 D-NMP , whither H834 RPRO the LORD H3068 EDS thy God H430 CMP-2MS hath driven H5080 thee ,
2 And shalt return H7725 unto H5704 PREP the LORD H3068 EDS thy God H430 CMP-2MS , and shalt obey H8085 his voice H6963 according to all H3605 K-NMS that H834 RPRO I H595 PPRO-1MS command H6680 thee this day H3117 D-AMS , thou H859 PPRO-2MS and thy children H1121 W-CMP-2MS , with all H3605 B-CMS thine heart H3824 , and with all H3605 WB-CMS thy soul H5315 ;
3 That then the LORD H3068 EDS thy God H430 CMP-2MS will turn H7725 W-VQQ3MS thy captivity H7622 , and have compassion H7355 upon thee , and will return H7725 W-VQQ3MS and gather H6908 thee from all H3605 M-CMS the nations H5971 , whither H834 RPRO the LORD H3068 EDS thy God H430 CMP-2MS hath scattered H6327 thee .
4 If H518 PART any of thine be H1961 VQY3MS driven out H5080 unto the outermost H7097 parts of heaven H8064 D-AMP , from thence H8033 M-ADV will the LORD H3068 EDS thy God H430 CMP-2MS gather H6908 thee , and from thence H8033 WM-ADV will he fetch H3947 thee :
5 And the LORD H3068 EDS thy God H430 CMP-2MS will bring H935 thee into H413 PREP the land H776 D-GFS which H834 RPRO thy fathers H1 possessed H3423 , and thou shalt possess H3423 it ; and he will do thee good H3190 , and multiply H7235 thee above thy fathers H1 .
6 And the LORD H3068 EDS thy God H430 CMP-2MS will circumcise H4135 thine heart H3824 , and the heart H3824 of thy seed H2233 CMS-2MS , to love H157 the LORD H3068 EDS thy God H430 CMP-2MS with all H3605 B-CMS thine heart H3824 , and with all H3605 WB-CMS thy soul H5315 , that H4616 L-CONJ thou mayest live H2416 CMS-2MS .
7 And the LORD H3068 EDS thy God H430 CMP-2MS will put H5414 W-VQQ3MS all H3605 NMS these H428 D-DPRO-3MP curses H423 upon H5921 PREP thine enemies H341 VQPMP-2MS , and on H5921 PREP them that hate H8130 VQCMP-2MS thee , which H834 RPRO persecuted H7291 thee .
8 And thou H859 W-PPRO-2MS shalt return H7725 VQY3FS and obey H8085 the voice H6963 B-NMS of the LORD H3068 EDS , and do H6213 all H3605 NMS his commandments H4687 which H834 RPRO I H595 PPRO-1MS command H6680 thee this day H3117 D-NMS .
9 And the LORD H3068 EDS thy God H430 CMP-2MS will make thee plenteous H3498 in every H3605 work H4639 M-CMS of thine hand H3027 CFS-2MS , in the fruit H6529 of thy body H990 , and in the fruit H6529 of thy cattle H929 , and in the fruit H6529 of thy land H127 , for good H2896 : for H3588 CONJ the LORD H3068 EDS will again H7725 VQY3MS rejoice H7797 over H5921 PREP thee for good H2896 , as H834 K-RPRO he rejoiced H7797 over H5921 PREP thy fathers H1 :
10 If H3588 CONJ thou shalt hearken H8085 unto the voice H6963 B-NMS of the LORD H3068 EDS thy God H430 CMP-2MS , to keep H8104 L-VQFC his commandments H4687 and his statutes H2708 which are written H3789 in this H2088 D-PMS book H5612 of the law H8451 , and if H3588 CONJ thou turn H7725 VQY3FS unto H413 PREP the LORD H3068 EDS thy God H430 CMP-2MS with all H3605 B-CMS thine heart H3824 , and with all H3605 WB-CMS thy soul H5315 .
11 For H3588 CONJ this H2063 D-DFS commandment H4687 which H834 RPRO I H595 PPRO-1MS command H6680 thee this day H3117 D-AMS , it H1931 PPRO-3FS is not H3808 ADV hidden H6381 from H4480 PREP-2MS thee , neither H3808 W-NADV is it H1931 PPRO-3FS far off H7350 .
12 It H1931 PPRO-3FS is not H3808 NADV in heaven H8064 BD-NMP , that thou shouldest say H559 L-VQFC , Who H4310 IPRO shall go up H5927 VQY3MS for us to heaven H8064 , and bring H3947 it unto us , that we may hear H8085 it , and do H6213 it ?
13 Neither H3808 W-NPAR is it H1931 PPRO-3FS beyond H5676 M-CMS the sea H3220 , that thou shouldest say H559 L-VQFC , Who H4310 IPRO shall go H5674 over H413 PREP the sea H3220 D-NMS for us , and bring H3947 it unto us , that we may hear H8085 it , and do H6213 it ?
14 But H3588 CONJ the word H1697 D-NMS is very H3966 ADV nigh H7138 AMS unto H413 PREP-2MS thee , in thy mouth H6310 , and in thy heart H3824 , that thou mayest do H6213 it .
15 See H7200 VQI2MS , I have set H5414 VQQ1MS before H6440 L-CMP-2MS thee this day H3117 D-AMS life H2416 D-NMP and good H2896 D-NMS , and death H4194 D-NMS and evil H7451 ;
16 In that H834 RPRO I H595 PPRO-1MS command H6680 thee this day H3117 D-AMS to love H157 the LORD H3068 EDS thy God H430 CMP-2MS , to walk H1980 L-VQFC in his ways H1870 , and to keep H8104 his commandments H4687 and his statutes H2708 and his judgments H4941 , that thou mayest live H2421 and multiply H7235 : and the LORD H3068 EDS thy God H430 CMP-2MS shall bless H1288 thee in the land H776 B-NFS whither H834 RPRO thou H859 PPRO-2MS goest H935 to possess H3423 it .
17 But if H518 W-PART thine heart H3824 turn away H6437 VQY3MS , so that thou wilt not H3808 W-NPAR hear H8085 , but shalt be drawn away H5080 , and worship H7812 other H312 AMP gods H430 , and serve H5647 them ;
18 I denounce H5046 VHQ1MS unto you this day H3117 D-AMS , that H3588 CONJ ye shall surely perish H6 , and that ye shall not H3808 NADV prolong H748 your days H3117 NMP upon H5921 PREP the land H127 D-NFS , whither H834 RPRO thou H859 PPRO-2MS passest over H5674 Jordan H3383 D-EFS to go H935 to possess H3423 it .
19 I call H5749 heaven H8064 D-NMD and earth H776 D-GFS to record this day H3117 D-AMS against you , that I have set H5414 VQQ1MS before H6440 L-CMP-2MS you life H2416 and death H4194 , blessing H1293 and cursing H7045 : therefore choose H977 life H2416 , that H4616 L-CONJ both thou H859 PPRO-2MS and thy seed H2233 may live H2421 :
20 That thou mayest love H157 the LORD H3068 EDS thy God H430 CMP-2MS , and that thou mayest obey H8085 his voice H6963 , and that thou mayest cleave H1692 unto him : for H3588 CONJ he H1931 PPRO-3MS is thy life H2416 , and the length H753 W-CMS of thy days H3117 CMP-2MS : that thou mayest dwell H3427 L-VQFC in H5921 PREP the land H127 D-NFS which H834 RPRO the LORD H3068 EDS swore H7650 unto thy fathers H1 , to Abraham H85 , to Isaac H3327 , and to Jacob H3290 , to give H5414 L-VQFC them .
