Deuteronomy 30

1And 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,

1And 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 take them to heart among all the nations whither Jehovah thyGod hath driven thee,

2And 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;

2and shalt return to Jehovah thyGod, and shalt hearken to his voice according to all that I command thee this day, thou and thy sons, with all thy heart and with all thy soul;

3That 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.

3that then Jehovah thyGod will turn thy captivity, and have compassion upon thee, and will gather thee again from all the peoples whither Jehovah thyGod hath scattered thee.

4If 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:

4Though there were of you driven out unto the end of the heavens, from thence will Jehovah thyGod gather thee, and from thence will he fetch thee;

5And 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.

5and Jehovah thyGod will bring thee into the land that thy fathers possessed, and thou shalt possess it; and he will do thee good, and multiply thee above thy fathers.

6And 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.

6And Jehovah thyGod will circumcise thy heart, and the heart of thy seed, to love Jehovah thyGod with all thy heart and with all thy soul, that thou mayest live.

7And the Lord thy God will put all these curses upon thine enemies, and on them that hate thee, which persecuted thee.

7And Jehovah thyGod will put all these curses on thine enemies, and on them that hate thee, who have persecuted thee.

8And thou shalt return and obey the voice of the Lord, and do all his commandments which I command thee this day.

8But thou shalt return and hearken to the voice of Jehovah, and do all his commandments which I command thee this day.

9And 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:

9And Jehovah thyGod will make thee abound in every work of thy hand, in the fruit of thy body, and in the fruit of thy cattle, and in the fruit of thy ground, for good; for Jehovah will again rejoice over thee for good, as he rejoiced over thy fathers;

10If 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.

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

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

11For this commandment which I command thee this day is not too wonderful for thee, neither is it far off.

12It 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?

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

13Neither 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?

13And it is not beyond the sea, that thou shouldest say, Who shall go over the sea for us, and bring it to us, that we should hear it and do it?

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

14For the word is very near to thee, in thy mouth and in thy heart, that thou mayest do it.

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

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

16In 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.

16in that I command thee this day to love Jehovah thyGod, to walk in his ways, and to keep his commandments and his statutes and his ordinances, that thou mayest live and multiply, and that Jehovah thyGod may bless thee in the land whither thou goest to possess it.

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

17But if thy heart turn away, so that thou wilt not hear, but shalt be drawn away, and thou shalt bow down to othergods and serve them;

18I 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.

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

19I 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:

19I call heaven and earth to witness this day against you: life and death have I set before you, blessing and cursing: choose then life, that thou mayest live, thou and thy seed,

20That 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.

20in loving Jehovah thyGod, in hearkening to his voice, and in cleaving to him — for this is thy life and the length of thy days — that thou mayest dwell in the land which Jehovah swore unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give them.
