신명기 6

1이는 곧 너희 하나님 여호와께서 너희에게 가르치라 명하신 바 명령과 규례와 법도라 너희가 건너가서 얻을 땅에서 행할 것이니 2곧 너와 네 아들과 네 손자로 평생에 네 하나님 여호와를 경외하며 내가 너희에게 명한 그 모든 규례와 명령을 지키게 하기 위한 것이며 또 네 날을 장구케 하기 위한 것이라 3이스라엘아 듣고 삼가 그것을 행하라 그리하면 네가 복을 얻고 네 열조의 하나님 여호와께서 네게 허락하심 같이 젖과 꿀이 흐르는 땅에서 너의 수효가 심히 번성하리라 4이스라엘아 들으라 우리 하나님 여호와는 오직 하나인 여호와시니 5너는 마음을 다하고 성품을 다하고 힘을 다하여 네 하나님 여호와를 사랑하라 6오늘날 내가 네게 명하는 이 말씀을 너는 마음에 새기고 7네 자녀에게 부지런히 가르치며 집에 앉았을 때에든지 길에 행할 때에든지 누웠을 때에든지 일어날 때에든지 이 말씀을 강론할 것이며 8너는 또 그것을 네 손목에 매어 기호를 삼으며 네 미간에 붙여 표를 삼고 9또 네 집 문설주와 바깥 문에 기록할지니라 10네 하나님 여호와께서 네 열조 아브라함과 이삭과 야곱을 향하여 네게 주리라 맹세하신 땅으로 너로 들어가게 하시고 네가 건축하지 아니한 크고 아름다운 성읍을 얻게 하시며 11네가 채우지 아니한 아름다운 물건이 가득한 집을 얻게 하시며 네가 파지 아니한 우물을 얻게 하시며 네가 심지 아니한 포도원과 감람 나무를 얻게 하사 너로 배불리 먹게 하실 때에 12너는 조심하여 너를 애굽 땅 종 되었던 집에서 인도하여 내신 여호와를 잊지 말고 13네 하나님 여호와를 경외하며 섬기며 그 이름으로 맹세할 것이니라 14너희는 다른 신들 곧 네 사면에 있는 백성의 신들을 좇지 말라 15너희 중에 계신 너희 하나님 여호와는 질투하시는 하나님이신즉 너희 하나님 여호와께서 네게 진노하사 너를 지면에서 멸절시키실까 두려워하노라 16너희가 맛사에서 시험한 것 같이 너희의 하나님 여호와를 시험하지 말고 17너희의 하나님 여호와께서 너희에게 명하신 명령과 증거하신 것과 규례를 삼가 지키며 18여호와의 보시기에 정직하고 선량한 일을 행하라 그리하면 네가 복을 얻고 여호와께서 네 열조에게 맹세하사 네 대적을 몰수히 네 앞에서 쫓아내리라 하신 아름다운 땅을 들어가서 얻으리니 여호와의 말씀과 같으리라 19(앞절과 동일) 20후일에 네 아들이 네게 묻기를 우리 하나님 여호와의 명하신 증거와 말씀과 규례와 법도가 무슨 뜻이뇨 하거든 21너는 네 아들에게 이르기를 우리가 옛적에 애굽에서 바로의 종이 되었더니 여호와께서 권능의 손으로 우리를 애굽에서 인도하여 내셨나니 22곧 여호와께서 우리의 목전에서 크고 두려운 이적과 기사를 애굽과 바로와 그 온 집에 베푸시고 23우리 열조에게 맹세하신 땅으로 우리에게 주어 들어가게 하시려고 우리를 거기서 인도하여 내시고 24여호와께서 우리에게 이 모든 규례를 지키라 명하셨으니 이는 우리로 우리 하나님 여호와를 경외하여 항상 복을 누리게 하기 위하심이며 또 여호와께서 우리로 오늘날과 같이 생활하게 하려 하심이라 25우리가 그 명하신 대로 이 모든 명령을 우리 하나님 여호와 앞에서 삼가 지키면 그것이 곧 우리의 의로움이니라 할지니라

1Now this is the commandment, the statutes, and the ordinances, which Yahweh your God commanded to teach you, that you might do them in the land where you go over to possess it; 2that you might fear Yahweh your God, to keep all his statutes and his commandments, which I command you; you, and your son, and your son’s son, all the days of your life; and that your days may be prolonged. 3Hear therefore, Israel, and observe to do it; that it may be well with you, and that you may increase mightily, as Yahweh, the God of your fathers, has promised to you, in a land flowing with milk and honey. 4Hear, Israel: Yahweh is our God. Yahweh is one. 5You shall love Yahweh your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your might. 6These words, which I command you this day, shall be on your heart; 7and 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 up. 8You shall bind them for a sign on your hand, and they shall be for frontlets between your eyes. 9You shall write them on the door posts of your house, and on your gates. 10It shall be, when Yahweh your God brings you into the land which he swore to your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give you, great and goodly cities, which you didn’t build, 11and houses full of all good things, which you didn’t fill, and cisterns dug out, which you didn’t dig, vineyards and olive trees, which you didn’t plant, and you shall eat and be full; 12then beware lest you forget Yahweh, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. 13You shall fear Yahweh your God; and you shall serve him, and shall swear by his name. 14You shall not go after other gods, of the gods of the peoples who are around you; 15for Yahweh your God in your midst is a jealous God; lest the anger of Yahweh your God be kindled against you, and he destroy you from off the face of the earth. 16You shall not tempt Yahweh your God, as you tempted him in Massah. 17You shall diligently keep the commandments of Yahweh your God, and his testimonies, and his statutes, which he has commanded you. 18You shall do that which is right and good in the sight of Yahweh; that it may be well with you, and that you may go in and possess the good land which Yahweh swore to your fathers, 19to thrust out all your enemies from before you, as Yahweh has spoken. 20When your son asks you in time to come, saying, “What do the testimonies, the statutes, and the ordinances, which Yahweh our God has commanded you mean?” 21then you shall tell your son, “We were Pharaoh’s slaves in Egypt. Yahweh brought us out of Egypt with a mighty hand; 22and Yahweh showed great and awesome signs and wonders on Egypt, on Pharaoh, and on all his house, before our eyes; 23and he brought us out from there, that he might bring us in, to give us the land which he swore to our fathers. 24Yahweh commanded us to do all these statutes, to fear Yahweh our God, for our good always, that he might preserve us alive, as at this day. 25It shall be righteousness to us, if we observe to do all this commandment before Yahweh our God, as he has commanded us.”

1Dit zijn dan de geboden, de inzettingen en de rechten, die de HEERE, uw God, geboden heeft om u te leren; opdat gij ze doet in het land, naar hetwelk gij heentrekt, om dat erfelijk te bezitten; 2Opdat gij den HEERE, uw God, vrezet, om te houden al Zijn inzettingen, en Zijn geboden, die ik u gebiede; gij, en uw kind, en kindskind, al de dagen uws levens; en opdat uw dagen verlengd worden. 3Hoor dan, Israel! en neem waar, dat gij ze doet, opdat het u welga, en opdat gij zeer vermenigvuldigdet (gelijk als u de HEERE, uwer vaderen God, gesproken heeft) in het land, dat van melk en honig is vloeiende. 4Hoor, Israel! de HEERE, onze God, is een enig HEERE! 5Zo zult gij den HEERE, uw God, liefhebben, met uw ganse hart, en met uw ganse ziel, en met al uw vermogen. 6En deze woorden, die ik u heden gebiede, zullen in uw hart zijn. 7En gij zult ze uw kinderen inscherpen, en daarvan spreken, als gij in uw huis zit, en als gij op den weg gaat, en als gij nederligt, en als gij opstaat. 8Ook zult gij ze tot een teken binden op uw hand, en zij zullen u tot voorhoofdspanselen zijn tussen uw ogen. 9En gij zult ze op de posten van uw huis, en aan uw poorten schrijven. 10Als het dan zal geschied zijn, dat de HEERE, uw God, u zal hebben ingebracht in dat land, dat Hij uw vaderen, Abraham, Izak en Jakob, gezworen heeft, u te zullen geven; grote en goede steden, die gij niet gebouwd hebt, 11En huizen, vol van alle goeds, die gij niet gevuld hebt, en uitgehouwen bornputten, die gij niet uitgehouwen hebt, wijngaarden en olijfgaarden, die gij niet geplant hebt, en gij gegeten hebt en verzadigd zijt; 12Zo wacht u, dat gij den HEERE niet vergeet, Die u uit Egypteland, uit het diensthuis heeft uitgevoerd. 13Gij zult den HEERE, uw God, vrezen, en Hem dienen; en gij zult bij Zijn Naam zweren. 14Gij zult andere goden niet navolgen, van de goden der volken, die rondom u zijn. 15Want de HEERE, uw God is een ijverig God in het midden van u; dat de toorn des HEEREN, uws Gods, tegen u niet ontsteke, en Hij u van den aardbodem verdelge. 16Gij zult den HEERE, uw God, niet verzoeken, gelijk als gij Hem verzocht hebt te Massa. 17Gij zult de geboden des HEEREN, uws Gods, vlijtig houden, mitsgaders Zijn getuigenissen, en Zijn inzettingen, die Hij u geboden heeft. 18En gij zult doen, wat recht en goed is in de ogen des HEEREN; opdat het u welga, en dat gij inkomt, en erft het goede land, dat de HEERE uw vaderen gezworen heeft; 19Om al uw vijanden voor uw aangezicht te verdrijven, gelijk als de HEERE gesproken heeft. 20Wanneer uw zoon u morgen zal vragen, zeggende: Wat zijn dat voor getuigenissen, en inzettingen, en rechten, die de HEERE, onze God, ulieden geboden heeft? 21Zo zult gij tot uw zoon zeggen: Wij waren dienstknechten van Farao in Egypte; maar de HEERE heeft ons door een sterke hand uit Egypte uitgevoerd. 22En de HEERE gaf tekenen, en grote en kwade wonderen, in Egypte, aan Farao en aan zijn ganse huis, voor onze ogen; 23En hij voerde ons van daar uit, opdat Hij ons inbracht, om ons het land te geven, dat Hij onzen vaderen gezworen had. 24En de HEERE gebood ons te doen al deze inzettingen, om te vrezen den HEERE, onzen God, ons voor altoos ten goede, om ons in het leven te behouden, gelijk het te dezen dage is. 25En het zal ons gerechtigheid zijn, als wij zullen waarnemen te doen al deze geboden, voor het aangezicht des HEEREN, onzes Gods, gelijk Hij ons geboden heeft.
