1	And love thou Jehovah thy God, and watch his watches and his laws and his judgments and his commands, all the days.	“You shall therefore love the LORD your God and keep his charge, his statutes, his rules, and his commandments always.	Love the LORD your God and keep his requirements, his decrees, his laws and his commands always.
2	And know ye this day, that not with your sons who knew not, and who saw not the corrections of Jehovah your God, his greatness, his strong hand and his extended arm,	And consider today (since I am not speaking to your children who have not known or seen it), consider the discipline of the LORD your God, his greatness, his mighty hand and his outstretched arm,	Remember today that your children were not the ones who saw and experienced the discipline of the LORD your God: his majesty, his mighty hand, his outstretched arm;
3	And his signs and his doings which he did in the midst of Egypt to Pharaoh king of Egypt, and to all his land;	his signs and his deeds that he did in Egypt to Pharaoh the king of Egypt and to all his land,	the signs he performed and the things he did in the heart of Egypt, both to Pharaoh king of Egypt and to his whole country;
4	And what he did to the army of Egypt, to his horses and to his chariots, that he caused the water of the sea of sedge to overflow upon their face in their pursuing after you, and Jehovah will destroy them even to this day;	and what he did to the army of Egypt, to their horses and to their chariots, how he made the water of the Red Sea flow over them as they pursued after you, and how the LORD has destroyed them to this day,	what he did to the Egyptian army, to its horses and chariots, how he overwhelmed them with the waters of the Red Sea as they were pursuing you, and how the LORD brought lasting ruin on them.
5	And what he did to you in the desert till your coming to this place;	and what he did to you in the wilderness, until you came to this place,	It was not your children who saw what he did for you in the wilderness until you arrived at this place,
6	And what he did to Dathan and to Abiram, sons of Eliab, son of Reuben; that the earth opened her mouth and she will swallow them down, and their houses, and their tents, and every living thing which is at their feet in the midst of all Israel:	and what he did to Dathan and Abiram the sons of Eliab, son of Reuben, how the earth opened its mouth and swallowed them up, with their households, their tents, and every living thing that followed them, in the midst of all Israel.	and what he did to Dathan and Abiram, sons of Eliab the Reubenite, when the earth opened its mouth right in the middle of all Israel and swallowed them up with their households, their tents and every living thing that belonged to them.
7	For your eyes saw every great doing of Jehovah which he did.	For your eyes have seen all the great work of the LORD that he did.	But it was your own eyes that saw all these great things the LORD has done.
8	And watch ye every command which I command thee this day, so that ye shall be strengthened and go in and possess the land where ye are passing over there to possess it;	“You shall therefore keep the whole commandment that I command you today, that you may be strong, and go in and take possession of the land that you are going over to possess,	Observe therefore all the commands I am giving you today, so that you may have the strength to go in and take over the land that you are crossing the Jordan to possess,
9	And so that ye shall prolong the days upon the land which Jehovah sware to your fathers to give to them, and to their seed; a land flowing milk and honey.	and that you may live long in the land that the LORD swore to your fathers to give to them and to their offspring, a land flowing with milk and honey.	and so that you may live long in the land the LORD swore to your ancestors to give to them and their descendants, a land flowing with milk and honey.
10	For the land where thou goest in there to possess it, it is not as the land of Egypt, where ye came from there, when thou shalt sow thy seed, and thou wateredst it with thy foot, as a garden of green things:	For the land that you are entering to take possession of it is not like the land of Egypt, from which you have come, where you sowed your seed and irrigated it, like a garden of vegetables.	The land you are entering to take over is not like the land of Egypt, from which you have come, where you planted your seed and irrigated it by foot as in a vegetable garden.
11	And the land where ye are passing over there to possess it, a land of mountains and valleys; according to the rain of the heavens it will drink water.	But the land that you are going over to possess is a land of hills and valleys, which drinks water by the rain from heaven,	But the land you are crossing the Jordan to take possession of is a land of mountains and valleys that drinks rain from heaven.
12	A land which Jehovah thy God sought for it: continually are the eyes of Jehovah thy God upon it from the beginning of the year, and even to the last of the year.	a land that the LORD your God cares for. The eyes of the LORD your God are always upon it, from the beginning of the year to the end of the year.	It is a land the LORD your God cares for; the eyes of the LORD your God are continually on it from the beginning of the year to its end.
13	And it was if hearing, ye shall hear to the commands which I command you this day, to love Jehovah your God, and to serve him with all your heart and with all your soul,	“And if you will indeed obey my commandments that I command you today, to love the LORD your God, and to serve him with all your heart and with all your soul,	So if you faithfully obey the commands I am giving you today—to love the LORD your God and to serve him with all your heart and with all your soul—
14	And I gave the rain of your land in its time, the early and the latter rain; and gather thy grain and thy new wine and thy new oil.	he will give the rain for your land in its season, the early rain and the later rain, that you may gather in your grain and your wine and your oil.	then I will send rain on your land in its season, both autumn and spring rains, so that you may gather in your grain, new wine and olive oil.
15	And I gave the green herb in thy field for thy cattle, and eat thou and be satisfied.	And he will give grass in your fields for your livestock, and you shall eat and be full.	I will provide grass in the fields for your cattle, and you will eat and be satisfied.
16	Watch ye to yourselves, lest your heart shall be enticed, and ye turn aside and serve other gods, and worship to them:	Take care lest your heart be deceived, and you turn aside and serve other gods and worship them;	Be careful, or you will be enticed to turn away and worship other gods and bow down to them.
17	And the anger of Jehovah kindled against you, and he shut up the heavens and there shall not be rain, and the land shall not give her produce, and ye perished quickly from off the good land that Jehovah gave to you.	then the anger of the LORD will be kindled against you, and he will shut up the heavens, so that there will be no rain, and the land will yield no fruit, and you will perish quickly off the good land that the LORD is giving you.	Then the LORD’s anger will burn against you, and he will shut up the heavens so that it will not rain and the ground will yield no produce, and you will soon perish from the good land the LORD is giving you.
18	And put these words upon your heart and upon your soul, and bind them for a sign upon your hand, and they were for bands between your eyes.	“You shall therefore lay up these words of mine in your heart and in your soul, and you shall bind them as a sign on your hand, and they shall be as frontlets between your eyes.	Fix these words of mine in your hearts and minds; tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads.
19	And teach them to your sons to speak in them in thy resting in thy house, and in thy walking in the way, and in thy lying down, and in thy rising up.	You shall teach them to your children, talking of them when you are sitting in your house, and when you are walking by the way, and when you lie down, and when you rise.	Teach them to your children, talking about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up.
20	And write them upon the doorposts of thy house and upon thy gates.	You shall write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates,	Write them on the doorframes of your houses and on your gates,
21	So that your days shall be multiplied, and the days of your sons, upon the land which Jehovah sware to your fathers to give to them, according to the days of the heavens upon the earth.	that your days and the days of your children may be multiplied in the land that the LORD swore to your fathers to give them, as long as the heavens are above the earth.	so that your days and the days of your children may be many in the land the LORD swore to give your ancestors, as many as the days that the heavens are above the earth.
22	For if watching, ye shall watch all this command which I command you to do it, to love Jehovah thy God, to go in all his ways, and to cleave to him;	For if you will be careful to do all this commandment that I command you to do, loving the LORD your God, walking in all his ways, and holding fast to him,	If you carefully observe all these commands I am giving you to follow—to love the LORD your God, to walk in obedience to him and to hold fast to him—
23	And Jehovah dispossessed all these nations from before you, and ye possessed nations great and strong above you.	then the LORD will drive out all these nations before you, and you will dispossess nations greater and mightier than you.	then the LORD will drive out all these nations before you, and you will dispossess nations larger and stronger than you.
24	Every place which the sole of your foot shall tread upon it, to you shall it be, from the desert and Lebanon, from the river, the river Euphrates, and even to the last sea shall be your boundary.	Every place on which the sole of your foot treads shall be yours. Your territory shall be from the wilderness to the Lebanon and from the River, the river Euphrates, to the western sea.	Every place where you set your foot will be yours: Your territory will extend from the desert to Lebanon, and from the Euphrates River to the Mediterranean Sea.
25	A man shall not stand up against your face: your terror and your fear, Jehovah your God shall give upon the face of all the earth which ye shall tread upon it, as he spake to you.	No one shall be able to stand against you. The LORD your God will lay the fear of you and the dread of you on all the land that you shall tread, as he promised you.	No one will be able to stand against you. The LORD your God, as he promised you, will put the terror and fear of you on the whole land, wherever you go.
26	See, I give before you this day, a blessing and a cursing:	“See, I am setting before you today a blessing and a curse:	See, I am setting before you today a blessing and a curse—
27	A blessing when ye shall hear to the commands of Jehovah your God which I command you this day;	the blessing, if you obey the commandments of the LORD your God, which I command you today,	the blessing if you obey the commands of the LORD your God that I am giving you today;
28	And a cursing if ye shall not hear to the commands of Jehovah your God, and ye turned aside from the way which I command you this day, to go after other gods which thou knewest not.	and the curse, if you do not obey the commandments of the LORD your God, but turn aside from the way that I am commanding you today, to go after other gods that you have not known.	the curse if you disobey the commands of the LORD your God and turn from the way that I command you today by following other gods, which you have not known.
29	And it was when Jehovah thy. God shall bring thee in to the land where thou goest in there to possess it, and give thou the blessing upon mount Gerizim, and the cursing upon mount Ebal.	And when the LORD your God brings you into the land that you are entering to take possession of it, you shall set the blessing on Mount Gerizim and the curse on Mount Ebal.	When the LORD your God has brought you into the land you are entering to possess, you are to proclaim on Mount Gerizim the blessings, and on Mount Ebal the curses.
30	Are they not in the other side of Jordan behind the way of the going down of the sun, in the land of the Canaanite dwelling in the desert over against Gilgal, by the oaks of Moreh?	Are they not beyond the Jordan, west of the road, toward the going down of the sun, in the land of the Canaanites who live in the Arabah, opposite Gilgal, beside the oak of Moreh?	As you know, these mountains are across the Jordan, westward, toward the setting sun, near the great trees of Moreh, in the territory of those Canaanites living in the Arabah in the vicinity of Gilgal.
31	For ye are passing over Jordan to go in to possess the land which Jehovah your God gave to you; and ye possessed it and dwelt in it.	For you are to cross over the Jordan to go in to take possession of the land that the LORD your God is giving you. And when you possess it and live in it,	You are about to cross the Jordan to enter and take possession of the land the LORD your God is giving you. When you have taken it over and are living there,
32	And watch ye to do all the laws and the judgments which I give before you this day.	you shall be careful to do all the statutes and the rules that I am setting before you today.	be sure that you obey all the decrees and laws I am setting before you today.
