| 1 | “Now when all these things will have fallen over you, the blessing or the curse that I have set forth in your sight, and you will have been led to repentance in your heart among all the nations to which the Lord your God will have dispersed you, | “And when all these things come upon you, the blessing and the curse, which I have set before you, and you call them to mind among all the nations where the LORD your God has driven you, | When all these blessings and curses I have set before you come on you and you take them to heart wherever the LORD your God disperses you among the nations, | |
| 2 | and when you will have returned to him, so as to obey his commandments, just as I have instructed you this day, with your sons, with your whole heart and with your whole soul, | and return to the LORD your God, you and your children, and obey his voice in all that I command you today, with all your heart and with all your soul, | and when you and your children return to the LORD your God and obey him with all your heart and with all your soul according to everything I command you today, | |
| 3 | then the Lord your God will lead you away from your captivity, and he will take pity on you, and he will gather you again from all the nations to which he had dispersed you before. | then the LORD your God will restore your fortunes and have mercy on you, and he will gather you again from all the peoples where the LORD your God has scattered you. | then the LORD your God will restore your fortunes and have compassion on you and gather you again from all the nations where he scattered you. | |
| 4 | Even if you will have been scattered as far as the poles of the heavens, the Lord your God will retrieve you from there. | If your outcasts are in the uttermost parts of heaven, from there the LORD your God will gather you, and from there he will take you. | Even if you have been banished to the most distant land under the heavens, from there the LORD your God will gather you and bring you back. | |
| 5 | And he will take you up and lead you into the land which your fathers had possessed, and you shall obtain it. And in blessing you, he will make you greater in number than your fathers ever were. | And the LORD your God will bring you into the land that your fathers possessed, that you may possess it. And he will make you more prosperous and numerous than your fathers. | He will bring you to the land that belonged to your ancestors, and you will take possession of it. He will make you more prosperous and numerous than your ancestors. | |
| 6 | The Lord your God will circumcise your heart, and the heart of your offspring, so that you may love the Lord your God with your entire heart and with your entire soul, so that you may be able to live. | And the LORD your God will circumcise your heart and the heart of your offspring, so that you will love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul, that you may live. | The LORD your God will circumcise your hearts and the hearts of your descendants, so that you may love him with all your heart and with all your soul, and live. | |
| 7 | And he will turn all these curses upon your enemies, and upon those who hate and persecute you. | And the LORD your God will put all these curses on your foes and enemies who persecuted you. | The LORD your God will put all these curses on your enemies who hate and persecute you. | |
| 8 | But you shall return, and you shall listen to the voice of the Lord your God. And you shall carry out all the commandments which I am entrusting to you this day. | And you shall again obey the voice of the LORD and keep all his commandments that I command you today. | You will again obey the LORD and follow all his commands I am giving you today. | |
| 9 | And the Lord your God will cause you to abound in all the works of your hands, in the progeny of your womb, and in the fruit of your cattle, in the fertility of your land, and with an abundance of all things. For the Lord will return, so that he may rejoice over you in all good things, just as he rejoiced in your fathers: | The LORD your God will make you abundantly prosperous in all the work of your hand, in the fruit of your womb and in the fruit of your cattle and in the fruit of your ground. For the LORD will again take delight in prospering you, as he took delight in your fathers, | Then the LORD your God will make you most prosperous in all the work of your hands and in the fruit of your womb, the young of your livestock and the crops of your land. The LORD will again delight in you and make you prosperous, just as he delighted in your ancestors, | |
| 10 | but only if you will listen to the voice of the Lord your God, and keep his precepts and ceremonies, which have been written in this law, and only if you return to the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul. | when you obey the voice of the LORD your God, to keep his commandments and his statutes that are written in this Book of the Law, when you turn to the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul. | if you obey the LORD your God and keep his commands and decrees that are written in this Book of the Law and turn to the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul. | |
| 11 | This commandment, which I entrust to you today, is not high above you, nor has it been placed far away. | “For this commandment that I command you today is not too hard for you, neither is it far off. | Now what I am commanding you today is not too difficult for you or beyond your reach. | |
| 12 | Nor is it in heaven, so that you would be able to say, ‘Which of us can ascend to heaven, so as to carry it back to us, and so that we may hear it and fulfill it in deed?’ | It is not in heaven, that you should say, ‘Who will ascend to heaven for us and bring it to us, that we may hear it and do it?’ | It is not up in heaven, so that you have to ask, “Who will ascend into heaven to get it and proclaim it to us so we may obey it?” | |
| 13 | Nor is it beyond the sea, so that you would excuse yourself by saying, ‘Which of us is able to cross the sea, and to carry it back to us, so that we may be able to hear and to do what has been instructed?’ | Neither is it beyond the sea, that you should say, ‘Who will go over the sea for us and bring it to us, that we may hear it and do it?’ | Nor is it beyond the sea, so that you have to ask, “Who will cross the sea to get it and proclaim it to us so we may obey it?” | |
| 14 | Instead, the word is near to you, in your mouth and in your heart, so that you may do it. | But the word is very near you. It is in your mouth and in your heart, so that you can do it. | No, the word is very near you; it is in your mouth and in your heart so you may obey it. | |
| 15 | Consider what I have set forth in your sight this day, life and good, or, on the opposite side, death and evil, | “See, I have set before you today life and good, death and evil. | See, I set before you today life and prosperity, death and destruction. | |
| 16 | so that you may love the Lord your God, and walk in his ways, and keep his commandments and ceremonies and judgments, and so that you may live, and he may multiply you and bless you in the land, which you shall enter in order to possess. | If you obey the commandments of the LORD your God that I command you today, by loving the LORD your God, by walking in his ways, and by keeping his commandments and his statutes and his rules, then you shall live and multiply, and the LORD your God will bless you in the land that you are entering to take possession of it. | For I command you today to love the LORD your God, to walk in obedience to him, and to keep his commands, decrees and laws; then you will live and increase, and the LORD your God will bless you in the land you are entering to possess. | |
| 17 | But if your heart will have been turned aside, so that you are not willing to listen, and, having been deceived by error, you adore strange gods and serve them, | But if your heart turns away, and you will not hear, but are drawn away to worship other gods and serve them, | But if your heart turns away and you are not obedient, and if you are drawn away to bow down to other gods and worship them, | |
| 18 | then I predict to you this day that you will perish, and you will remain for only a short time in the land, for which you shall cross the Jordan, and which you shall enter in order to possess. | I declare to you today, that you shall surely perish. You shall not live long in the land that you are going over the Jordan to enter and possess. | I declare to you this day that you will certainly be destroyed. You will not live long in the land you are crossing the Jordan to enter and possess. | |
| 19 | I call heaven and earth as witnesses this day, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and curse. Therefore, choose life, so that both you and your offspring may live, | I call heaven and earth to witness against you today, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and curse. Therefore choose life, that you and your offspring may live, | This day I call the heavens and the earth as witnesses against you that I have set before you life and death, blessings and curses. Now choose life, so that you and your children may live | |
| 20 | and so that you may love the Lord your God, and obey his voice, and cling to him, (for he is your life and the length of your days) and so that you may live in the land, about which the Lord swore to your fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, that he would give it to them.” | loving the LORD your God, obeying his voice and holding fast to him, for he is your life and length of days, that you may dwell in the land that the LORD swore to your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give them.” | and that you may love the LORD your God, listen to his voice, and hold fast to him. For the LORD is your life, and he will give you many years in the land he swore to give to your fathers, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. | |
