1. Carefully obey every command I give you today. Then you will live and grow in number, and you will enter and take the land the Lord promised your ancestors.
|
1. All H3605 the commandments H4687 which H834 I H595 command H6680 thee this day H3117 shall ye observe H8104 to do H6213 , that H4616 ye may live H2421 , and multiply H7235 , and go in H935 and possess H3423 H853 the land H776 which H834 the LORD H3068 swore H7650 unto your fathers H1 .
|
|
2. Remember how the Lord your God has led you in the desert for these forty years, taking away your pride and testing you, because he wanted to know what was in your heart. He wanted to know if you would obey his commands.
|
2. And thou shalt remember H2142 H853 all H3605 the way H1870 which H834 the LORD H3068 thy God H430 led H1980 thee these H2088 forty H705 years H8141 in the wilderness H4057 , to H4616 humble H6031 thee, and to prove H5254 thee , to know H3045 H853 what H834 was in thine heart H3824 , whether thou wouldest keep H8104 his commandments H4687 , or H518 not H3808 .
|
|
3. He took away your pride when he let you get hungry, and then he fed you with manna, which neither you nor your ancestors had ever seen. This was to teach you that a person does not live by eating only bread, but by everything the Lord says.
|
3. And he humbled H6031 thee , and suffered thee to hunger H7456 , and fed H398 thee with H854 manna H4478 , which H834 thou knewest H3045 not H3808 , neither H3808 did thy fathers H1 know H3045 ; that H4616 he might make thee know H3045 that H3588 man H120 doth not H3808 live H2421 by H5921 bread H3899 only H905 , but H3588 by H5921 every H3605 word that proceedeth out H4161 of the mouth H6310 of the LORD H3068 doth man H120 live H2421 .
|
|
4. During these forty years, your clothes did not wear out, and your feet did not swell.
|
4. Thy raiment H8071 waxed not old H1086 H3808 upon H4480 H5921 thee, neither H3808 did thy foot H7272 swell H1216 , these H2088 forty H705 years H8141 .
|
|
5. Know in your heart that the Lord your God corrects you as a parent corrects a child.
|
5. Thou shalt also consider H3045 in H5973 thine heart H3824 , that H3588 , as H834 a man H376 chasteneth H3256 H853 his son H1121 , so the LORD H3068 thy God H430 chasteneth H3256 thee.
|
|
6. Obey the commands of the Lord your God, living as he has commanded you and respecting him.
|
6. Therefore thou shalt keep H8104 H853 the commandments H4687 of the LORD H3068 thy God H430 , to walk H1980 in his ways H1870 , and to fear H3372 him.
|
|
7. The Lord your God is bringing you into a good land, a land with rivers and pools of water, with springs that flow in the valleys and hills,
|
7. For H3588 the LORD H3068 thy God H430 bringeth H935 thee into H413 a good H2896 land H776 , a land H776 of brooks H5158 of water H4325 , of fountains H5869 and depths H8415 that spring out H3318 of valleys H1237 and hills H2022 ;
|
|
8. a land that has wheat and barley, vines, fig trees, pomegranates, olive oil, and honey.
|
8. A land H776 of wheat H2406 , and barley H8184 , and vines H1612 , and fig trees H8384 , and pomegranates H7416 ; a land H776 of oil H8081 olive H2132 , and honey H1706 ;
|
|
9. It is a land where you will have plenty of food, where you will have everything you need, where the rocks are iron, and where you can dig copper out of the hills.
|
9. A land H776 wherein H834 thou shalt eat H398 bread H3899 without H3808 scarceness H4544 , thou shalt not H3808 lack H2637 any H3605 thing in it ; a land H776 whose H834 stones H68 are iron H1270 , and out of whose hills H4480 H2042 thou mayest dig H2672 brass H5178 .
|
|
10. When you have all you want to eat, then praise the Lord your God for giving you a good land.
|
10. When thou hast eaten H398 and art full H7646 , then thou shalt bless H1288 H853 the LORD H3068 thy God H430 for H5921 the good H2896 land H776 which H834 he hath given H5414 thee.
|
|
11. Be careful not to forget the Lord your God so that you fail to obey his commands, laws, and rules that I am giving to you today.
|
11. Beware H8104 that thou forget not H6435 H7911 H853 the LORD H3068 thy God H430 , in not H1115 keeping H8104 his commandments H4687 , and his judgments H4941 , and his statutes H2708 , which H834 I H595 command H6680 thee this day H3117 :
|
|
12. When you eat all you want and build nice houses and live in them,
|
12. Lest H6435 when thou hast eaten H398 and art full H7646 , and hast built H1129 goodly H2896 houses H1004 , and dwelt H3427 therein ;
|
|
13. when your herds and flocks grow large and your silver and gold increase, when you have more of everything,
|
13. And when thy herds H1241 and thy flocks H6629 multiply H7235 , and thy silver H3701 and thy gold H2091 is multiplied H7235 , and all H3605 that H834 thou hast is multiplied H7235 ;
|
|
14. then your heart will become proud. You will forget the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, where you were slaves.
|
14. Then thine heart H3824 be lifted up H7311 , and thou forget H7911 H853 the LORD H3068 thy God H430 , which brought thee forth H3318 out of the land H4480 H776 of Egypt H4714 , from the house H4480 H1004 of bondage H5650 ;
|
|
15. He led you through the large and terrible desert that was dry and had no water, and that had poisonous snakes and stinging insects. He gave you water from a solid rock
|
15. Who led H1980 thee through that great H1419 and terrible H3372 wilderness H4057 , wherein were fiery H8314 serpents H5175 , and scorpions H6137 , and drought H6774 , where H834 there was no H369 water H4325 ; who brought thee forth H3318 water H4325 out of the rock H4480 H6697 of flint H2496 ;
|
|
16. and manna to eat in the desert. Manna was something your ancestors had never seen. He did this to take away your pride and to test you, so things would go well for you in the end.
|
16. Who fed H398 thee in the wilderness H4057 with manna H4478 , which H834 thy fathers H1 knew H3045 not H3808 , that H4616 he might humble H6031 thee , and that H4616 he might prove H5254 thee , to do thee good H3190 at thy latter end H319 ;
|
|
17. You might say to yourself, "I am rich because of my own power and strength,"
|
17. And thou say H559 in thine heart H3824 , My power H3581 and the might H6108 of mine hand H3027 hath gotten H6213 me H853 this H2088 wealth H2428 .
|
|
18. but remember the Lord your God! It is he who gives you the power to become rich, keeping the agreement he promised to your ancestors, as it is today.
|
18. But thou shalt remember H2142 H853 the LORD H3068 thy God H430 : for H3588 it is he H1931 that giveth H5414 thee power H3581 to get H6213 wealth H2428 , that H4616 he may establish H6965 H853 his covenant H1285 which H834 he swore H7650 unto thy fathers H1 , as it is this H2088 day H3117 .
|
|
19. If you ever forget the Lord your God and follow other gods and worship them and bow down to them, I warn you today that you will be destroyed.
|
19. And it shall be H1961 , if H518 thou do at all forget H7911 H7911 H853 the LORD H3068 thy God H430 , and walk H1980 after H310 other H312 gods H430 , and serve H5647 them , and worship H7812 them , I testify H5749 against you this day H3117 that H3588 ye shall surely perish H6 H6 .
|
|
20. Just as the Lord destroyed the other nations for you, you can be destroyed if you do not obey the Lord your God.
|
20. As the nations H1471 which H834 the LORD H3068 destroyeth H6 before your face H4480 H6440 , so H3651 shall ye perish H6 ; because H6118 ye would not H3808 be obedient H8085 unto the voice H6963 of the LORD H3068 your God H430 .
