The Greatest Commandment
6 “Now this is (A)the commandment—the statutes and the rules[a]—that the Lord your God commanded me to teach you, that you may do them in the land to which you are going over, to possess it, 2 that (B)you may fear the Lord your God, you and your son and your son's son, by keeping all his statutes and his commandments, which I command you, all the days of your life, and (C)that your days may be long. 3 Hear therefore, O Israel, and be careful to do them, that it may go well with you, and that you may multiply greatly, (D)as the Lord, the God of your fathers, has promised you, in a land flowing with milk and honey.
4 “Hear, O Israel: (E)The Lord our God, the Lord is one.[b] 5 You (F)shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your might. 6 And (G)these words that I command you today shall be on your heart. 7 (H)You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, and when you walk by the way, and when you lie down, and when you rise. 8 (I)You shall bind them as a sign on your hand, and they shall be as frontlets between your eyes. 9 (J)You shall write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates.
10 “And when the Lord your God brings you into the land that he swore to your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give you—with great and good cities (K)that you did not build, 11 and houses full of all good things that you did not fill, and cisterns that you did not dig, and vineyards and olive trees that you did not plant—and when you eat and are full, 12 (L)then take care lest you forget the Lord, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery. 13 It is (M)the Lord your God you shall fear. Him you shall serve and (N)by his name you shall swear. 14 You shall not (O)go after other gods, (P)the gods of the peoples who are around you— 15 for (Q)the Lord your God in your midst (R)is a jealous God—(S)lest the anger of the Lord your God be kindled against you, and he destroy you from off the face of the earth.
16 (T)“You shall not put the Lord your God to the test, (U)as you tested him at Massah. 17 You shall (V)diligently keep the commandments of the Lord your God, and his testimonies and his statutes, which he has commanded you. 18 (W)And you shall do what is right and good in the sight of the Lord, that it may go well with you, and that you may go in and take possession of the good land that the Lord swore to give to your fathers 19 (X)by thrusting out all your enemies from before you, as the Lord has promised.
20 (Y)“When your son asks you in time to come, ‘What is the meaning of the testimonies and the statutes and the rules that the Lord our God has commanded you?’ 21 then you shall say to your son, (Z)‘We were Pharaoh's slaves in Egypt. And the Lord brought us out of Egypt with a mighty hand. 22 And (AA)the Lord showed signs and wonders, great and grievous, against Egypt and against Pharaoh and all his household, before our eyes. 23 And he brought us out from there, that he might bring us in and give us the land that he swore to give to our fathers. 24 And the Lord commanded us to do all these statutes, (AB)to fear the Lord our God, (AC)for our good always, that (AD)he might preserve us alive, as we are this day. 25 And (AE)it will be righteousness for us, if we are careful to do all this commandment before the Lord our God, as he has commanded us.’

Love the Lord Your God
6 The Lord your God has directed me to teach you his commands, rules and laws. Obey them in the land you will take over when you go across the Jordan River. 2 Then you, your children and their children after them will honor the Lord your God as long as you live. Obey all his rules and commands I’m giving you. If you do, you will enjoy long life. 3 Israel, listen to me. Make sure you obey me. Then things will go well with you. The number of your people will increase greatly in a land that has plenty of milk and honey. That’s what the Lord, the God of your parents, promised you.
4 Israel, listen to me. The Lord is our God. The Lord is the one and only God. 5 Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul. Love him with all your strength. 6 The commandments I give you today must be in your hearts. 7 Make sure your children learn them. Talk about them when you are at home. Talk about them when you walk along the road. Speak about them when you go to bed. And speak about them when you get up. 8 Write them down and tie them on your hands as a reminder. Also tie them on your foreheads. 9 Write them on the doorframes of your houses. Also write them on your gates.
10 The Lord your God will bring you into the land of Canaan. He gave his word. He promised he would give the land to your fathers, to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. The land has large, wealthy cities you didn’t build. 11 It has houses filled with all kinds of good things you didn’t provide. The land has wells you didn’t dig. And it has vineyards and groves of olive trees you didn’t plant. You will have plenty to eat. 12 But be careful that you don’t forget the Lord. Remember that he brought you out of Egypt. That’s the land where you were slaves.
13 Worship the Lord your God. He is the only one you should serve. When you make promises, do so in his name. 14 Don’t serve the gods of the nations around you. 15 The Lord your God is among you. He wants you to worship only him. If you worship other gods, God will be very angry with you. And he will destroy you from the face of the land. 16 Don’t test the Lord your God as you did at Massah. 17 Be sure to obey the Lord’s commands. Obey the terms and rules he has given you. 18 Do what is right and good in the Lord’s eyes. Then things will go well with you. You will go in and take over the land. It’s the good land the Lord promised to your people of long ago. 19 You will drive out all your enemies to make room for you. That’s what the Lord said would happen.
20 Later on, your child might ask you, “What is the meaning of the terms, rules and laws the Lord our God has commanded you to obey?” 21 If they do ask you, tell them, “We were Pharaoh’s slaves in Egypt. But the Lord used his mighty hand to bring us out of Egypt. 22 With our own eyes we saw the Lord send amazing signs. They were great and terrible. He sent them on Egypt and Pharaoh and everyone in his house. 23 But the Lord brought us out of Egypt. He planned to bring us into the land of Canaan and give it to us. It’s the land he promised to our people of long ago. 24 The Lord our God commanded us to obey all his rules. He commanded us to honor him. If we do, we will always succeed and be kept alive. That’s what is happening today. 25 We must make sure we obey the whole law in the sight of the Lord our God. That’s what he has commanded us to do. If we obey his law, we’ll be doing what he requires of us.”

Chinese Union Version (Simplified)
6 这 是 耶 和 华 ─ 你 们 神 所 吩 咐 教 训 你 们 的 诫 命 、 律 例 、 典 章 ， 使 你 们 在 所 要 过 去 得 为 业 的 地 上 遵 行 ，
2 好 叫 你 和 你 子 子 孙 孙 一 生 敬 畏 耶 和 华 ─ 你 的 神 ， 谨 守 他 的 一 切 律 例 诫 命 ， 就 是 我 所 吩 咐 你 的 ， 使 你 的 日 子 得 以 长 久 。
3 以 色 列 阿 ， 你 要 听 ， 要 谨 守 遵 行 ， 使 你 可 以 在 那 流 奶 与 蜜 之 地 得 以 享 福 ， 人 数 极 其 增 多 ， 正 如 耶 和 华 ─ 你 列 祖 的 神 所 应 许 你 的 。
4 以 色 列 阿 ， 你 要 听 ！ 耶 和 华 ─ 我 们 神 是 独 一 的 主 。
5 你 要 尽 心 、 尽 性 、 尽 力 爱 耶 和 华 ─ 你 的 神 。
6 我 今 日 所 吩 咐 你 的 话 都 要 记 在 心 上 ，
7 也 要 殷 勤 教 训 你 的 儿 女 。 无 论 你 坐 在 家 里 ， 行 在 路 上 ， 躺 下 ， 起 来 ， 都 要 谈 论 。
8 也 要 系 在 手 上 为 记 号 ， 戴 在 额 上 为 经 文 ；
9 又 要 写 在 你 房 屋 的 门 框 上 ， 并 你 的 城 门 上 。
10 耶 和 华 ─ 你 的 神 领 你 进 他 向 你 列 祖 亚 伯 拉 罕 、 以 撒 、 雅 各 起 誓 应 许 给 你 的 地 。 那 里 有 城 邑 ， 又 大 又 美 ， 非 你 所 建 造 的 ；
11 有 房 屋 ， 装 满 各 样 美 物 ， 非 你 所 装 满 的 ； 有 凿 成 的 水 井 ， 非 你 所 凿 成 的 ； 还 有 葡 萄 园 、 橄 榄 园 ， 非 你 所 栽 种 的 ； 你 吃 了 而 且 饱 足 。
12 那 时 你 要 谨 慎 ， 免 得 你 忘 记 将 你 从 埃 及 地 、 为 奴 之 家 领 出 来 的 耶 和 华 。
13 你 要 敬 畏 耶 和 华 ─ 你 的 神 ， 事 奉 他 ， 指 着 他 的 名 起 誓 。
14 不 可 随 从 别 神 ， 就 是 你 们 四 围 国 民 的 神 ；
15 因 为 在 你 们 中 间 的 耶 和 华 ─ 你 神 是 忌 邪 的 神 ， 惟 恐 耶 和 华 ─ 你 神 的 怒 气 向 你 发 作 ， 就 把 你 从 地 上 除 灭 。
16 你 们 不 可 试 探 耶 和 华 ─ 你 们 的 神 ， 像 你 们 在 玛 撒 那 样 试 探 他 。
17 要 留 意 遵 守 耶 和 华 ─ 你 们 神 所 吩 咐 的 诫 命 、 法 度 、 律 例 。
18 耶 和 华 眼 中 看 为 正 、 看 为 善 的 ， 你 都 要 遵 行 ， 使 你 可 以 享 福 ， 并 可 以 进 去 得 耶 和 华 向 你 列 祖 起 誓 应 许 的 那 美 地 ，
19 照 耶 和 华 所 说 的 ， 从 你 面 前 撵 出 你 的 一 切 仇 敌 。
20 日 後 ， 你 的 儿 子 问 你 说 ： 耶 和 华 ─ 我 们 神 吩 咐 你 们 的 这 些 法 度 、 律 例 、 典 章 是 甚 麽 意 思 呢 ？
21 你 就 告 诉 你 的 儿 子 说 ： 我 们 在 埃 及 作 过 法 老 的 奴 仆 ； 耶 和 华 用 大 能 的 手 将 我 们 从 埃 及 领 出 来 ，
22 在 我 们 眼 前 ， 将 重 大 可 怕 的 神 迹 奇 事 施 行 在 埃 及 地 和 法 老 并 他 全 家 的 身 上 ，
23 将 我 们 从 那 里 领 出 来 ， 要 领 我 们 进 入 他 向 我 们 列 祖 起 誓 应 许 之 地 ， 把 这 地 赐 给 我 们 。
24 耶 和 华 又 吩 咐 我 们 遵 行 这 一 切 律 例 ， 要 敬 畏 耶 和 华 ─ 我 们 的 神 ， 使 我 们 常 得 好 处 ， 蒙 他 保 全 我 们 的 生 命 ， 像 今 日 一 样 。
25 我 们 若 照 耶 和 华 ─ 我 们 神 所 吩 咐 的 一 切 诫 命 谨 守 遵 行 ， 这 就 是 我 们 的 义 了 。

Love the Lord Your God
6 These are the commands, decrees and laws the Lord your God directed me to teach you to observe in the land that you are crossing the Jordan to possess, 2 so that you, your children and their children after them may fear(A) the Lord your God as long as you live(B) by keeping all his decrees and commands(C) that I give you, and so that you may enjoy long life.(D) 3 Hear, Israel, and be careful to obey(E) so that it may go well with you and that you may increase greatly(F) in a land flowing with milk and honey,(G) just as the Lord, the God of your ancestors, promised(H) you.
4 Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one.[a](I) 5 Love(J) the Lord your God with all your heart(K) and with all your soul and with all your strength.(L) 6 These commandments that I give you today are to be on your hearts.(M) 7 Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up.(N) 8 Tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads.(O) 9 Write them on the doorframes of your houses and on your gates.(P)
10 When the Lord your God brings you into the land he swore to your fathers, to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, to give you—a land with large, flourishing cities you did not build,(Q) 11 houses filled with all kinds of good things you did not provide, wells you did not dig,(R) and vineyards and olive groves you did not plant—then when you eat and are satisfied,(S) 12 be careful that you do not forget(T) the Lord, who brought you out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery.
13 Fear the Lord(U) your God, serve him only(V) and take your oaths(W) in his name.(X) 14 Do not follow other gods, the gods of the peoples around you; 15 for the Lord your God(Y), who is among you, is a jealous God and his anger will burn against you, and he will destroy you from the face of the land. 16 Do not put the Lord your God to the test(Z) as you did at Massah. 17 Be sure to keep(AA) the commands of the Lord your God and the stipulations and decrees he has given you.(AB) 18 Do what is right and good in the Lord’s sight,(AC) so that it may go well(AD) with you and you may go in and take over the good land the Lord promised on oath to your ancestors, 19 thrusting out all your enemies(AE) before you, as the Lord said.
20 In the future, when your son asks you,(AF) “What is the meaning of the stipulations, decrees and laws the Lord our God has commanded you?” 21 tell him: “We were slaves of Pharaoh in Egypt, but the Lord brought us out of Egypt with a mighty hand.(AG) 22 Before our eyes the Lord sent signs and wonders—great and terrible—on Egypt and Pharaoh and his whole household. 23 But he brought us out from there to bring us in and give us the land he promised on oath to our ancestors. 24 The Lord commanded us to obey all these decrees and to fear the Lord our God,(AH) so that we might always prosper and be kept alive, as is the case today.(AI) 25 And if we are careful to obey all this law(AJ) before the Lord our God, as he has commanded us, that will be our righteousness.(AK)”
