God’s Gracious Dealings
8 “All the commandments that I am commanding you today you shall be careful to do, so that you (A)may live and increase, and go in and take possession of the land which the Lord swore to give to your forefathers. 2 (B)And you shall remember all the way which the Lord your God has (C)led you in the wilderness these forty years, in order to humble you, (D)putting you to the test, to know what was in your heart, whether you would keep His commandments or not. 3 And He humbled you and let you go hungry, and fed you with the manna which you did not know, nor did your fathers know, in order to make you [a]understand that (E)man shall not live on bread alone, but man shall live on everything that comes out of the mouth of the Lord. 4 (F)Your clothing did not wear out on you, nor did your foot swell these forty years. 5 (G)So you are to know in your heart that the Lord your God was disciplining you just as a man disciplines his son. 6 Therefore, you shall keep the commandments of the Lord your God, to walk in His ways and to [b]fear Him. 7 For (H)the Lord your God is bringing you into a good land, a land of streams of water, of fountains and springs, flowing out in valleys and hills; 8 a land of wheat and barley, of vines, fig trees, and pomegranates, a land of olive oil and honey; 9 a land where you will eat food without shortage, in which you will not lack anything; a land whose stones are iron, and out of whose hills you can dig copper. 10 When (I)you have eaten and are satisfied, you shall bless the Lord your God for the good land which He has given you.
11 “Be careful that you do not (J)forget the Lord your God by failing to keep His commandments, His ordinances, and His statutes which I am commanding you today; 12 otherwise, (K)when you eat and are satisfied, and you build good houses and live in them, 13 and when your herds and your flocks increase, and your silver and gold increase, and everything that you have increases, 14 then your heart will [c]become proud and you will (L)forget the Lord your God who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of [d]slavery; 15 He who led you through (M)the great and terrible wilderness, with its (N)fiery serpents and scorpions, and its thirsty ground where there was no water; He who (O)brought water for you out of the rock of flint. 16 In the wilderness it was He who fed you manna (P)which your fathers did not know, in order to humble you and in order to (Q)put you to the test, to do good for you [e]in the end. 17 Otherwise, (R)you may say in your heart, ‘My power and the strength of my hand made me this wealth.’ 18 But you are to remember the Lord your God, for (S)it is He who is giving you power to make wealth, in order to confirm His covenant which He swore to your fathers, as it is this day. 19 And it shall come about, if you ever forget the Lord your God and follow other gods and serve and worship them, (T)I testify against you today that you will certainly perish. 20 Like the nations that the Lord eliminates from you, so (U)you shall perish, because you would not listen to the voice of the Lord your God.

Do Not Forget the Lord
8 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) 2 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. 3 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) 4 Your clothes did not wear out and your feet did not swell during these forty years.(K) 5 Know then in your heart that as a man disciplines his son, so the Lord your God disciplines you.(L)
6 Observe the commands of the Lord your God, walking in obedience to him(M) and revering him.(N) 7 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) 8 a land with wheat and barley,(Q) vines(R) and fig trees,(S) pomegranates, olive oil and honey;(T) 9 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)

8 “Every commandment that I am commanding you today you shall be careful to do, so that you may live and multiply, and go in and possess the land which the Lord swore [to give] to your fathers. 2 And you shall remember [always] all the ways which the Lord your God has led you these forty years in the wilderness, so that He might humble you and test you, to know what was in your heart (mind), whether you would keep His commandments or not. 3 He humbled you and allowed you to be hungry and fed you with manna, [a substance] which you did not know, nor did your fathers know, so that He might make you understand [by personal experience] that man does not live by bread alone, but man lives by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of the Lord. 4 Your clothing did not wear out on you, nor did your feet swell these forty years. 5 Therefore, know in your heart (be fully cognizant) that the Lord your God disciplines and instructs you just as a man disciplines and instructs his son. 6 Therefore, you shall keep the commandments of the Lord your God, to walk [that is, to live each and every day] in His ways and fear [and worship] Him [with awe-filled reverence and profound respect].(A) 7 For the Lord your God is bringing you into a good land, a land of brooks of water, of fountains and springs, flowing forth in valleys and hills; 8 a land of wheat and barley, and vines and fig trees and pomegranates, a land of olive oil and honey; 9 a land where you will eat bread without shortage, in which you will lack nothing; a land whose stones are iron, and out of whose hills you can dig copper. 10 When you have eaten and are satisfied, 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 failing to keep His commandments and His judgments (precepts) and His statutes which I am commanding you today; 12 otherwise, when you have eaten and are satisfied, and have built good houses and lived in them, 13 and when your herds and flocks multiply, and your silver and gold multiply, and all that you have increases, 14 then your heart will become lifted up [by self-conceit and arrogance] and you will forget the Lord your God who brought you from the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery. 15 He led you through the great and terrible wilderness, with its fiery serpents and scorpions and thirsty ground where there was no water; it was He who brought water for you out of the flinty rock. 16 He fed you manna in the wilderness, [a substance] which your fathers did not know, so that He might humble you [by dependence on Him] and that He might test you, to do good [things] for you at the end. 17 Otherwise, you may say in your heart, ‘My power and the strength of my hand made me this wealth.’ 18 But you shall remember [with profound respect] the Lord your God, for it is He who is giving you power to make wealth, that He may confirm His covenant which He swore (solemnly promised) to your fathers, as it is this day. 19 And it shall come about if you ever forget the Lord your God and follow other gods and serve them and worship them, I testify against you today that you will most certainly perish. 20 Like the nations which the Lord causes to perish before you, so shall you perish; because you would not listen to and obey the voice of the Lord your God.

Exortação a ter em memória os benefícios do Senhor
8 Todos os mandamentos que hoje vos ordeno guardareis para os fazer, para que vivais, e vos multipliqueis, e entreis, e possuais a terra que o Senhor jurou a vossos pais. 2 E te lembrarás de todo o caminho pelo qual o Senhor, teu Deus, te guiou no deserto estes quarenta anos, para te humilhar, para te tentar, para saber o que estava no teu coração, se guardarias os seus mandamentos ou não. 3 E te humilhou, e te deixou ter fome, e te sustentou com o maná, que tu não conheceste, nem teus pais o conheceram, para te dar a entender que o homem não viverá só de pão, mas que de tudo o que sai da boca do Senhor viverá o homem. 4 Nunca se envelheceu a tua veste sobre ti, nem se inchou o teu pé nestes quarenta anos. 5 Confessa, pois, no teu coração que, como um homem castiga a seu filho, assim te castiga o Senhor, teu Deus. 6 E guarda os mandamentos do Senhor, teu Deus, para o temeres e andares nos seus caminhos. 7 Porque o Senhor, teu Deus, te mete numa boa terra, terra de ribeiros de águas, de fontes e de abismos, que saem dos vales e das montanhas; 8 terra de trigo e cevada, de vides, figueiras e romeiras; terra de oliveiras, abundante de azeite e mel; 9 terra em que comerás o pão sem escassez, e nada te faltará nela; terra cujas pedras são ferro e de cujos montes tu cavarás o cobre. 10 Quando, pois, tiveres comido e fores farto, louvarás ao Senhor, teu Deus, pela boa terra que te deu.
11 Guarda-te para que te não esqueças do Senhor, teu Deus, não guardando os seus mandamentos, e os seus juízos, e os seus estatutos, que hoje te ordeno; 12 para que, porventura, havendo tu comido, e estando farto, e havendo edificado boas casas, e habitando-as, 13 e se tiverem aumentado as tuas vacas e as tuas ovelhas, e se acrescentar a prata e o ouro, e se multiplicar tudo quanto tens, 14 se não eleve o teu coração, e te esqueças do Senhor, teu Deus, que te tirou da terra do Egito, da casa da servidão; 15 que te guiou por aquele grande e terrível deserto de serpentes ardentes, e de escorpiões, e de secura, em que não havia água; e tirou água para ti da rocha do seixal; 16 que no deserto te sustentou com maná, que teus pais não conheceram; para te humilhar, e para te provar, e para, no teu fim, te fazer bem; 17 e não digas no teu coração: A minha força e a fortaleza de meu braço me adquiriram este poder. 18 Antes, te lembrarás do Senhor, teu Deus, que ele é o que te dá força para adquirires poder; para confirmar o seu concerto, que jurou a teus pais, como se vê neste dia. 19 Será, porém, que, se, de qualquer sorte, te esqueceres do Senhor, teu Deus, e se ouvires outros deuses, e os servires, e te inclinares perante eles, hoje eu protesto contra vós que certamente perecereis. 20 Como as gentes que o Senhor destruiu diante de vós, assim vós perecereis; porquanto não quisestes obedecer à voz do Senhor, vosso Deus.

A Disciplina do Senhor no Caminho para a Boa Terra
8 “Tenham o cuidado de obedecer a toda a lei que eu hoje lhes ordeno, para que vocês vivam, multipliquem-se e tomem posse da terra que o Senhor prometeu, com juramento, aos seus antepassados.
2 “Lembrem-se de como o Senhor, o seu Deus, os conduziu por todo o caminho no deserto, durante estes quarenta anos, para humilhá-los e pô-los à prova, a fim de conhecer suas intenções, se iriam obedecer aos seus mandamentos ou não. 3 Assim, ele os humilhou e os deixou passar fome. Mas depois os sustentou com maná, que nem vocês nem os seus antepassados conheciam, para mostrar-lhes que nem só de pão viverá o homem, mas de toda palavra que procede da boca do Senhor. 4 As roupas de vocês não se gastaram e os seus pés não incharam durante esses quarenta anos. 5 Saibam, pois, em seu coração que, assim como um homem disciplina o seu filho, da mesma forma o Senhor, o seu Deus, os disciplina.
6 “Obedeçam aos mandamentos do Senhor, o seu Deus, andando em seus caminhos e dele tendo temor. 7 Pois o Senhor, o seu Deus, os está levando a uma boa terra, cheia de riachos e tanques de água, de fontes que jorram nos vales e nas colinas; 8 terra de trigo e cevada, videiras e figueiras, de romãzeiras, azeite de oliva e mel; 9 terra onde não faltará pão e onde não terão falta de nada; terra onde as rochas têm ferro e onde vocês poderão extrair cobre das colinas.
Advertência contra a Ingratidão
10 “Depois que tiverem comido até ficarem satisfeitos, louvem o Senhor, o seu Deus, pela boa terra que lhes deu. 11 Tenham o cuidado de não se esquecer do Senhor, o seu Deus, deixando de obedecer aos seus mandamentos, às suas ordenanças e aos seus decretos que hoje lhes ordeno. 12 Não aconteça que, depois de terem comido até ficarem satisfeitos, de terem construído boas casas e nelas morado, 13 de aumentarem os seus rebanhos, a sua prata e o seu ouro, e todos os seus bens, 14 o seu coração fique orgulhoso e vocês se esqueçam do Senhor, o seu Deus, que os tirou do Egito, da terra da escravidão. 15 Ele os conduziu pelo imenso e pavoroso deserto, por aquela terra seca e sem água, de serpentes e escorpiões venenosos. Ele tirou água da rocha para vocês, 16 e os sustentou no deserto com maná, que os seus antepassados não conheciam, para humilhá-los e prová-los, a fim de que tudo fosse bem com vocês. 17 Não digam, pois, em seu coração: ‘A minha capacidade e a força das minhas mãos ajuntaram para mim toda esta riqueza’. 18 Mas, lembrem-se do Senhor, o seu Deus, pois é ele que lhes dá a capacidade de produzir riqueza, confirmando a aliança que jurou aos seus antepassados, conforme hoje se vê.
19 “Mas se vocês se esquecerem do Senhor, o seu Deus, e seguirem outros deuses, prestando-lhes culto e curvando-se diante deles, asseguro-lhes hoje que vocês serão destruídos. 20 Por não obedecerem ao Senhor, o seu Deus, vocês serão destruídos como o foram as outras nações que o Senhor destruiu perante vocês.
