Deuteronomy 30:7 (NLT) New Living Translation

1 "In the future, when you experience all these blessings and curses I have listed for you, and when you are living among the nations to which the LORD your God has exiled you, take to heart all these instructions.
2 If at that time you and your children return to the LORD your God, and if you obey with all your heart and all your soul all the commands I have given you today,
3 then the LORD your God will restore your fortunes. He will have mercy on you and gather you back from all the nations where he has scattered you.
4 Even though you are banished to the ends of the earth, the LORD your God will gather you from there and bring you back again.
5 The LORD your God will return you to the land that belonged to your ancestors, and you will possess that land again. Then he will make you even more prosperous and numerous than your ancestors!
6 "The LORD your God will change your heart and the hearts of all your descendants, so that you will love him with all your heart and soul and so you may live!
7 The LORD your God will inflict all these curses on your enemies and on those who hate and persecute you.
8 Then you will again obey the LORD and keep all his commands that I am giving you today.
9 "The LORD your God will then make you successful in everything you do. He will give you many children and numerous livestock, and he will cause your fields to produce abundant harvests, for the LORD will again delight in being good to you as he was to your ancestors.
10 The LORD your God will delight in you if you obey his voice and keep the commands and decrees written in this Book of Instruction, and if you turn to the LORD your God with all your heart and soul.
11 "This command I am giving you today is not too difficult for you to understand, and it is not beyond your reach.
12 It is not kept in heaven, so distant that you must ask, 'Who will go up to heaven and bring it down so we can hear it and obey?'
13 It is not kept beyond the sea, so far away that you must ask, 'Who will cross the sea to bring it to us so we can hear it and obey?'
14 No, the message is very close at hand; it is on your lips and in your heart so that you can obey it.
15 "Now listen! Today I am giving you a choice between life and death, between prosperity and disaster.
16 For I command you this day to love the LORD your God and to keep his commands, decrees, and regulations by walking in his ways. If you do this, you will live and multiply, and the LORD your God will bless you and the land you are about to enter and occupy.
17 "But if your heart turns away and you refuse to listen, and if you are drawn away to serve and worship other gods,
18 then I warn you now that you will certainly be destroyed. You will not live a long, good life in the land you are crossing the Jordan to occupy.
19 "Today I have given you the choice between life and death, between blessings and curses. Now I call on heaven and earth to witness the choice you make. Oh, that you would choose life, so that you and your descendants might live!
20 You can make this choice by loving the LORD your God, obeying him, and committing yourself firmly to him. This is the key to your life. And if you love and obey the LORD, you will live long in the land the LORD swore to give 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 .
