歸向耶和華必蒙賜福

30 “當這一切事,就是我擺在你面前的祝福和咒詛,都臨到你身上的時候,你在耶和華你的 神趕逐你去的萬國中,你心裡必回想這些話, 你和你的子孫必一心一意歸向耶和華你的 神,照著我今日吩咐你的一切聽從他的話。 那時,耶和華你的 神就必使你這被擄的人回歸,他必憐憫你;耶和華你的 神必從你被分散到的萬民中,把你再召集回來。 你被趕逐的人,就是在天涯海角,耶和華你的 神也必從那裡把你召集回來,從那裡把你帶回。 耶和華你的 神必領你進入你列祖所得之地,使你可以得著這地;他必善待你,他也必使你的人數增多,勝過你的列祖。 耶和華你的 神必把你心裡和你後裔心裡的污穢除掉,要你一心一意愛耶和華你的 神,使你可以存活。 耶和華你的 神必把這一切咒詛,加在你的仇敵和恨惡你、逼迫你的人身上。 你卻要再聽從耶和華的話,遵行他的一切誡命,就是我今日吩咐你的。 耶和華你的 神必使你手裡所辦的一切事、你身所生的、牲畜所出的、地土所產的,都豐盛有餘,因為耶和華必再喜悅你,使你得福,像從前喜悅你的列祖一樣; 10 只要你聽從耶和華你的 神的話,謹守這律法書上所寫的誡命和律例;只要你一心一意回轉歸向耶和華你的 神。

11 “其實我今日吩咐你的這誡命,對你並不太難,離你也不太遠。 12 這誡命不是在天上,以致你說:‘誰替我們上到天上去,為我們取下來,使我們聽見,就可以遵行呢?’ 13 也不是在海外,以致你說:‘誰替我們過海去,為我們取回來,使我們聽見,就可以遵行呢?’ 14 其實這話離你很近,就在你口裡,也在你心裡,使你可以遵行。

生死二途由人選擇

15 “你看,我今日把生命和福樂,死亡與災禍,都擺在你的面前了。 16 因此我今日吩咐你要愛耶和華你的 神,行他的道路,謹守他的誡命、律例、典章,使你可以存活,人數增多,耶和華你的 神就必在你要進去得為業的地上賜福給你。 17 但是,如果你的心偏離了,不肯聽從,卻被人勾引,去敬拜和事奉別的神; 18 我今日鄭重地告訴你們,你們必要滅亡;在你過約旦河,進去得為業的地上,你的年日必不長久。 19 我今日呼天喚地向你們作證,我把生與死,福與禍,都擺在你面前了;所以你要選擇生命,好讓你和你的後裔都可以活著, 20 愛耶和華你的 神,聽從他的話,緊靠他,因為那就是你的生命,你的長壽;這樣,你才能在耶和華向你的列祖亞伯拉罕、以撒、雅各起誓應許要賜給他們的地上居住。”

Ritorno dall'esilio e conversione

30 Quando tutte queste cose che io ti ho poste dinanzi, la benedizione e la maledizione, si saranno realizzate su di te e tu le richiamerai alla tua mente in mezzo a tutte le nazioni, dove il Signore tuo Dio ti avrà scacciato, se ti convertirai al Signore tuo Dio e obbedirai alla sua voce, tu e i tuoi figli, con tutto il cuore e con tutta l'anima, secondo quanto oggi ti comando, allora il Signore tuo Dio farà tornare i tuoi deportati, avrà pietà di te e ti raccoglierà di nuovo da tutti i popoli, in mezzo ai quali il Signore tuo Dio ti aveva disperso. Quand'anche i tuoi esuli fossero all'estremità dei cieli, di là il Signore tuo Dio ti raccoglierà e di là ti riprenderà. Il Signore tuo Dio ti ricondurrà nel paese che i tuoi padri avevano posseduto e tu lo possiederai; Egli ti farà felice e ti moltiplicherà più dei tuoi padri.

Il Signore tuo Dio circonciderà il tuo cuore e il cuore della tua discendenza, perché tu ami il Signore tuo Dio con tutto il cuore e con tutta l'anima e viva. Il Signore tuo Dio farà cadere tutte queste imprecazioni sui tuoi nemici e su quanti ti odieranno e perseguiteranno. Tu ti convertirai, obbedirai alla voce del Signore e metterai in pratica tutti questi comandi che oggi ti dò. Il Signore tuo Dio ti farà sovrabbondare di beni in ogni lavoro delle tue mani, nel frutto delle tue viscere, nel frutto del tuo bestiame e nel frutto del tuo suolo; perché il Signore gioirà di nuovo per te facendoti felice, come gioiva per i tuoi padri, 10 quando obbedirai alla voce del Signore tuo Dio, osservando i suoi comandi e i suoi decreti, scritti in questo libro della legge; quando ti sarai convertito al Signore tuo Dio con tutto il cuore e con tutta l'anima.

11 Questo comando che oggi ti ordino non è troppo alto per te, né troppo lontano da te. 12 Non è nel cielo, perché tu dica: Chi salirà per noi in cielo, per prendercelo e farcelo udire e lo possiamo eseguire? 13 Non è di là dal mare, perché tu dica: Chi attraverserà per noi il mare per prendercelo e farcelo udire e lo possiamo eseguire? 14 Anzi, questa parola è molto vicina a te, è nella tua bocca e nel tuo cuore, perché tu la metta in pratica.

Le due vie

15 Vedi, io pongo oggi davanti a te la vita e il bene, la morte e il male; 16 poiché io oggi ti comando di amare il Signore tuo Dio, di camminare per le sue vie, di osservare i suoi comandi, le sue leggi e le sue norme, perché tu viva e ti moltiplichi e il Signore tuo Dio ti benedica nel paese che tu stai per entrare a prendere in possesso. 17 Ma se il tuo cuore si volge indietro e se tu non ascolti e ti lasci trascinare a prostrarti davanti ad altri dei e a servirli, 18 io vi dichiaro oggi che certo perirete, che non avrete vita lunga nel paese di cui state per entrare in possesso passando il Giordano. 19 Prendo oggi a testimoni contro di voi il cielo e la terra: io ti ho posto davanti la vita e la morte, la benedizione e la maledizione; scegli dunque la vita, perché viva tu e la tua discendenza, 20 amando il Signore tuo Dio, obbedendo alla sua voce e tenendoti unito a lui, poiché è lui la tua vita e la tua longevità, per poter così abitare sulla terra che il Signore ha giurato di dare ai tuoi padri, Abramo, Isacco e Giacobbe».

Returning to the Lord

30 “When all these things happen to you—the blessings and curses I have set before you—and you come to your senses while you are in all the nations where the Lord your God has driven you, and you and your children return to the Lord your God and obey Him with all your heart and all your soul by doing[a] everything I am giving you today, then He will restore your fortunes,[b] have compassion on you, and gather you again from all the peoples where the Lord your God has scattered you.(A) Even if your exiles are at the ends of the earth,[c] He will gather you and bring you back from there.(B) The Lord your God will bring you into the land your fathers possessed, and you will take possession of it.(C) He will cause you to prosper and multiply you more than He did your fathers. The Lord your God will circumcise your heart(D) and the hearts of your descendants, and you will love Him with all your heart and all your soul so that you will live. The Lord your God will put all these curses on your enemies who hate and persecute you. Then you will again obey Him and follow all His commands I am giving you today. The Lord your God will make you prosper abundantly in all the work of your hands(E) with children,[d] the offspring of your livestock, and your land’s produce. Indeed, the Lord will again delight in your prosperity, as He delighted in that of your fathers, 10 when you obey the Lord your God by keeping His commands and statutes that are written in this book of the law and return to Him with all your heart and all your soul.

Choose Life

11 “This command that I give you today is certainly not too difficult or beyond your reach. 12 It is not in heaven so that you have to ask, ‘Who will go up to heaven, get it for us, and proclaim it to us so that we may follow it?’ 13 And it is not across the sea so that you have to ask, ‘Who will cross the sea, get it for us, and proclaim it to us so that we may follow it?’ 14 But the message is very near you, in your mouth and in your heart, so that you may follow it.(F) 15 See, today I have set before you life and prosperity, death and adversity.(G) 16 For[e] I am commanding you today to love the Lord your God, to walk in His ways, and to keep His commands, statutes, and ordinances, so that you may live[f] and multiply, and the Lord your God may bless you in the land you are entering to possess. 17 But if your heart turns away and you do not listen and you are led astray to bow down to other gods and worship them, 18 I tell you today that you will certainly perish and will not live long in the land you are entering to possess across the Jordan. 19 I call heaven and earth as witnesses against you today that I have set before you life and death, blessing and curse. Choose life(H) so that you and your descendants may live, 20 love the Lord your God, obey Him, and remain faithful[g] to Him. For He is your life, and He will prolong your life in the land the Lord swore to give to your fathers(I) Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.”

30 And it shall come to pass, when all these things are come upon thee, the blessing and the curse, which I have set before thee, and thou shalt call them to mind among all the nations, whither the Lord thy God hath driven thee,

And shalt return unto the Lord thy God, and shalt obey his voice according to all that I command thee this day, thou and thy children, with all thine heart, and with all thy soul;

That then the Lord thy God will turn thy captivity, and have compassion upon thee, and will return and gather thee from all the nations, whither the Lord thy God hath scattered thee.

If any of thine be driven out unto the outmost parts of heaven, from thence will the Lord thy God gather thee, and from thence will he fetch thee:

And the Lord thy God will bring thee into the land which thy fathers possessed, and thou shalt possess it; and he will do thee good, and multiply thee above thy fathers.

And the Lord thy God will circumcise thine heart, and the heart of thy seed, to love the Lord thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, that thou mayest live.

And the Lord thy God will put all these curses upon thine enemies, and on them that hate thee, which persecuted thee.

And thou shalt return and obey the voice of the Lord, and do all his commandments which I command thee this day.

And the Lord thy God will make thee plenteous in every work of thine hand, in the fruit of thy body, and in the fruit of thy cattle, and in the fruit of thy land, for good: for the Lord will again rejoice over thee for good, as he rejoiced over thy fathers:

10 If thou shalt hearken unto the voice of the Lord thy God, to keep his commandments and his statutes which are written in this book of the law, and if thou turn unto the Lord thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul.

11 For this commandment which I command thee this day, it is not hidden from thee, neither is it far off.

12 It is not in heaven, that thou shouldest say, Who shall go up for us to heaven, and bring it unto us, that we may hear it, and do it?

13 Neither is it beyond the sea, that thou shouldest say, Who shall go over the sea for us, and bring it unto us, that we may hear it, and do it?

14 But the word is very nigh unto thee, in thy mouth, and in thy heart, that thou mayest do it.

15 See, I have set before thee this day life and good, and death and evil;

16 In that I command thee this day to love the Lord thy God, to walk in his ways, and to keep his commandments and his statutes and his judgments, that thou mayest live and multiply: and the Lord thy God shall bless thee in the land whither thou goest to possess it.

17 But if thine heart turn away, so that thou wilt not hear, but shalt be drawn away, and worship other gods, and serve them;

18 I denounce unto you this day, that ye shall surely perish, and that ye shall not prolong your days upon the land, whither thou passest over Jordan to go to possess it.

19 I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live:

20 That thou mayest love the Lord thy God, and that thou mayest obey his voice, and that thou mayest cleave unto him: for he is thy life, and the length of thy days: that thou mayest dwell in the land which the Lord sware unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give them.
