当记念神之引导

“我今日所吩咐的一切诫命,你们要谨守遵行,好叫你们存活,人数增多,且进去得耶和华向你们列祖起誓应许的那地。 你也要记念耶和华你的神在旷野引导你这四十年,是要苦炼你、试验你,要知道你心内如何,肯守他的诫命不肯。 他苦炼你,任你饥饿,将你和你列祖所不认识的吗哪赐给你吃,使你知道人活着不是单靠食物,乃是靠耶和华口里所出的一切话。 这四十年,你的衣服没有穿破,你的脚也没有肿。 你当心里思想,耶和华你神管教你,好像人管教儿子一样。 你要谨守耶和华你神的诫命,遵行他的道,敬畏他。 因为耶和华你神领你进入美地,那地有河,有泉,有源,从山谷中流出水来, 那地有小麦、大麦、葡萄树、无花果树、石榴树、橄榄树和蜜。 你在那地不缺食物,一无所缺。那地的石头是铁,山内可以挖铜。 10 你吃得饱足,就要称颂耶和华你的神,因他将那美地赐给你了。

慎起骄傲致忘耶和华恩

11 “你要谨慎,免得忘记耶和华你的神,不守他的诫命、典章、律例,就是我今日所吩咐你的。 12 恐怕你吃得饱足,建造美好的房屋居住, 13 你的牛羊加多,你的金银增添,并你所有的全都加增, 14 你就心高气傲,忘记耶和华你的神(就是将你从埃及地为奴之家领出来的, 15 引你经过那大而可怕的旷野,那里有火蛇、蝎子、干旱无水之地。他曾为你使水从坚硬的磐石中流出来, 16 又在旷野将你列祖所不认识的吗哪赐给你吃,是要苦炼你、试验你,叫你终久享福), 17 恐怕你心里说:‘这货财是我力量,我能力得来的。’ 18 你要记念耶和华你的神,因为得货财的力量是他给你的,为要坚定他向你列祖起誓所立的约,像今日一样。 19 你若忘记耶和华你的神,随从别神,侍奉敬拜,你们必定灭亡,这是我今日警戒你们的。 20 耶和华在你们面前怎样使列国的民灭亡,你们也必照样灭亡,因为你们不听从耶和华你们神的话。

不可忘記耶和華

「你們要謹遵我今日吩咐你們的一切誡命,以便能夠存活,生養眾多,並且得到耶和華起誓要賜給你們祖先的土地。 要記住這四十年來你們的上帝耶和華怎樣在曠野引領你們,祂磨煉你們、考驗你們,好知道你們的心意如何、肯不肯遵守祂的誡命。 祂讓你們忍饑挨餓,然後賜給你們祖祖輩輩從未見過的嗎哪吃,為了使你們明白人活著不是單靠食物,乃是靠祂口中的每一句話。 這四十年來,你們的衣服沒有穿破,雙腳也沒有走腫。 你們心裡要明白,你們的上帝耶和華管教你們,如同父親管教兒子。

「所以,你們要遵守你們的上帝耶和華的誡命,行祂的道,敬畏祂, 因為祂要帶你們到一個佳美之地。那裡的谷中和山間流淌著條條溪流、股股清泉; 那裡盛產大麥、小麥、葡萄、無花果、石榴、橄欖油和蜂蜜; 那裡食物充足,一無所缺;那裡礦產資源豐富,石頭就是鐵,山中可以採銅。 10 你們吃飽喝足後,要讚美你們的上帝耶和華,因為祂賜給你們那佳美之地。

11 「你們要謹慎,免得忘記你們的上帝耶和華,不遵守我今天吩咐你們的誡命、典章和律例。 12 當你們豐衣足食、居室華美、 13 牛羊眾多、金銀日增的時候, 14 切勿心驕氣傲,忘記你們的上帝耶和華。祂把你們從受奴役之地——埃及救出來, 15 帶領你們走過乾旱、可怕、毒蛇和蠍子出沒的大曠野。祂使堅硬的磐石流出水來給你們喝, 16 在曠野中把你們祖先從未見過的嗎哪賜給你們吃,為要磨煉你們、考驗你們,使你們最終得到益處。 17 你們切勿以為是憑自己的雙手和能力致富的。 18 要記住,是你們的上帝耶和華賜給你們致富的能力,為要堅立祂給你們祖先的誓約,正如今日的情形。

19 「我今天警告你們,如果你們忘記你們的上帝耶和華,去追隨、供奉、祭拜其他神明,你們必滅亡。 20 如果你們不聽從你們的上帝耶和華,你們必滅亡,正如祂使列國在你們面前滅亡一樣。

Remember the Lord Your God

“Every commandment which I command you today (A)you must [a]be careful to observe, that you may live and (B)multiply,[b] and go in and possess the land of which the Lord [c]swore to your fathers. And you shall remember that the Lord your God (C)led you all the way these forty years in the wilderness, to humble you and (D)test you, (E)to know what was in your heart, whether you would keep His commandments or not. So He humbled you, (F)allowed you to hunger, and (G)fed you with manna which you did not know nor did your fathers know, that He might make you know that man shall (H)not live by bread alone; but man lives by every word that proceeds from the mouth of the Lord. (I)Your garments did not wear out on you, nor did your foot swell these forty years. (J)You should [d]know in your heart that as a man chastens his son, so the Lord your God chastens you.

“Therefore you shall keep the commandments of the Lord your God, (K)to walk in His ways and to fear Him. For the Lord your God is bringing you into a good land, (L)a land of brooks of water, of fountains and springs, that flow out of valleys and hills; a land of wheat and barley, of vines and fig trees and pomegranates, a land of olive oil and honey; a land in which you will eat bread without scarcity, in which you will lack nothing; a land whose stones are iron and out of whose hills you can dig copper. 10 (M)When you have eaten and are full, then you shall bless the Lord your God for the good land which He has given you.

11 “Beware that you do not forget the Lord your God by not keeping His commandments, His judgments, and His statutes which I command you today, 12 (N)lest—when you have eaten and are [e]full, and have built beautiful houses and dwell in them; 13 and when your herds and your flocks multiply, and your silver and your gold are [f]multiplied, and all that you have is multiplied; 14 (O)when your heart [g]is lifted up, and you (P)forget the Lord your God who brought you out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage; 15 who (Q)led you through that great and terrible wilderness, (R)in which were fiery serpents and scorpions and thirsty land where there was no water; (S)who brought water for you out of the flinty rock; 16 who fed you in the wilderness with (T)manna, which your fathers did not know, that He might humble you and that He might test you, (U)to do you good in the end— 17 then you say in your heart, ‘My power and the might of my hand have gained me this wealth.’

18 “And you shall remember the Lord your God, (V)for it is He who gives you power to get wealth, (W)that He may [h]establish His covenant which He swore to your fathers, as it is this day. 19 Then it shall be, if you by any means forget the Lord your God, and follow other gods, and serve them and worship them, (X)I testify against you this day that you shall surely perish. 20 As the nations which the Lord destroys before you, (Y)so you shall perish, because you would not be obedient to the voice of the Lord your God.

Do Not Forget the Lord

Be careful to follow every command I am giving you today, so that you may live(A) and increase and may enter and possess the land the Lord promised on oath to your ancestors.(B) Remember how the Lord your God led(C) you all the way in the wilderness these forty years, to humble and test(D) you in order to know what was in your heart, whether or not you would keep his commands. He humbled(E) you, causing you to hunger and then feeding you with manna,(F) which neither you nor your ancestors had known, to teach(G) you that man does not live on bread(H) alone but on every word that comes from the mouth(I) of the Lord.(J) Your clothes did not wear out and your feet did not swell during these forty years.(K) Know then in your heart that as a man disciplines his son, so the Lord your God disciplines you.(L)

Observe the commands of the Lord your God, walking in obedience to him(M) and revering him.(N) For the Lord your God is bringing you into a good land(O)—a land with brooks, streams, and deep springs gushing out into the valleys and hills;(P) a land with wheat and barley,(Q) vines(R) and fig trees,(S) pomegranates, olive oil and honey;(T) a land where bread(U) will not be scarce and you will lack nothing;(V) a land where the rocks are iron and you can dig copper out of the hills.(W)

10 When you have eaten and are satisfied,(X) praise the Lord your God for the good land he has given you. 11 Be careful that you do not forget(Y) the Lord your God, failing to observe his commands, his laws and his decrees that I am giving you this day. 12 Otherwise, when you eat and are satisfied, when you build fine houses and settle down,(Z) 13 and when your herds and flocks grow large and your silver and gold increase and all you have is multiplied, 14 then your heart will become proud and you will forget(AA) the Lord your God, who brought you out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery. 15 He led you through the vast and dreadful wilderness,(AB) that thirsty and waterless land, with its venomous snakes(AC) and scorpions. He brought you water out of hard rock.(AD) 16 He gave you manna(AE) to eat in the wilderness, something your ancestors had never known,(AF) to humble and test(AG) you so that in the end it might go well with you. 17 You may say to yourself,(AH) “My power and the strength of my hands(AI) have produced this wealth for me.” 18 But remember the Lord your God, for it is he who gives you the ability to produce wealth,(AJ) and so confirms his covenant, which he swore to your ancestors, as it is today.

19 If you ever forget the Lord your God and follow other gods(AK) and worship and bow down to them, I testify against you today that you will surely be destroyed.(AL) 20 Like the nations(AM) the Lord destroyed before you, so you will be destroyed for not obeying the Lord your God.(AN)
