Deuteronomio 8

1Ang lahat ng utos na aking iniuutos sa iyo sa araw na ito ay inyong isasagawa, upang kayo'y mangabuhay at dumami, at inyong mapasok at ariin ang lupain na isinumpa ng Panginoon sa inyong mga magulang. 2At iyong aalalahanin ang buong paraan na ipinatnubay sa iyo ng Panginoon mong Dios nitong apat na pung taon sa ilang, upang kaniyang mapangumbaba ka, at subukin ka, na maalaman kung ano ang nasa iyong puso, kung iyong gaganapin ang kaniyang mga utos o hindi. 3At ikaw ay pinapangumbaba niya, at pinapagdamdam ka niya ng gutom, at pinakain ka niya ng mana, na hindi mo nakilala, ni nakilala ng iyong mga magulang; upang kaniyang maipakilala sa iyo na hindi lamang sa tinapay nabubuhay ang tao, kundi sa bawa't bagay na nagmumula sa bibig ng Panginoon. 4Ang iyong suot ay hindi naluma sa iyo, ni hindi namaga ang iyong paa nitong apat na pung taon. 5At iyong pagmunimuniin sa iyong puso, na kung paanong pinarurusahan ng tao ang kaniyang anak, ay gayon pinarurusahan ka ng Panginoon mong Dios. 6At iyong tutuparin ang mga utos ng Panginoon mong Dios, na lumakad ka sa kaniyang mga daan, at matakot ka sa kaniya. 7Sapagka't dinala ka ng Panginoon mong Dios sa isang mabuting lupain, na lupain ng mga batis ng tubig, ng mga bukal at ng mga kalaliman, na bumubukal sa mga libis at mga bundok. 8Lupain ng trigo at ng sebada at ng puno ng ubas at ng mga puno ng igos, at ng mga granada; lupain ng mga puno ng olibo at ng pulot: 9Lupain na kakainan mo ng tinapay na di kapos, na walang magkukulang sa iyo roon; lupain na ang mga bato ay bakal, at ang kaniyang mga burol ay makukunan mo ng tanso. 10At kakain ka, at mabubusog ka, at iyong pupurihin ang Panginoon mong Dios dahil sa mabuting lupain na kaniyang ibinigay sa iyo. 11Magingat ka na baka iyong malimutan ang Panginoon mong Dios, sa hindi mo pagtupad ng kaniyang mga utos, at ng kaniyang mga kahatulan, at ng kaniyang mga palatuntunan, na aking iniuutos sa iyo sa araw na ito: 12Baka pagka ikaw ay nakakain at nabusog, at nakapagtayo ng mabubuting bahay, at iyong natahanan; 13At pagka ang iyong mga bakahan at ang iyong mga kawan ay dumami at ang iyong pilak at ang iyong ginto ay dumami at ang lahat ng tinatangkilik mo ay dumami; 14Ay magmataas ang iyong puso, at iyong malimutan ang Panginoon mong Dios, na naglabas sa iyo sa lupain ng Egipto, sa bahay ng pagkaalipin; 15Na siyang pumatnubay sa iyo sa malaki at kakilakilabot na ilang na tinatahanan ng mga makamandag na ahas at mga alakdan, at uhaw na lupa, na walang tubig; na siyang naglabas sa iyo ng tubig mula sa batong pingkian; 16Na siyang nagpakain sa iyo ng mana sa ilang, na hindi nakilala ng iyong mga magulang; upang kaniyang mapangumbaba ka, at kaniyang subukin ka, na pabutihin ka sa iyong wakas: 17At baka iyong sabihin sa iyong puso, Ang aking kapangyarihan at ang lakas ng aking kamay ang siyang nagbigay sa akin ng kayamanang ito. 18Kundi iyong aalalahanin ang Panginoon mong Dios, sapagka't siya ang nagbigay sa iyo ng kapangyarihan upang magkaroon ka ng kayamanan; upang kaniyang papagtibayin ang kaniyang tipan na kaniyang isinumpa sa iyong mga magulang, gaya nga sa araw na ito. 19At mangyayari, na kung iyong kalilimutan ang Panginoon mong Dios, at ikaw ay susunod sa ibang mga dios, at iyong paglilingkuran sila, at iyong sasambahin sila ay aking pinatototohanan laban sa inyo sa araw na ito, na kayo'y tunay na malilipol. 20Kung paano ang bansang nililipol ng Panginoon sa harap ninyo, ay gayon kayo malilipol; sapagka't hindi ninyo dininig ang tinig ng Panginoon ninyong Dios.

1You shall observe to do all the commandments which I command you this day, that you may live, and multiply, and go in and possess the land which Yahweh swore to your fathers. 2You shall remember all the way which Yahweh your God has led you these forty years in the wilderness, that he might humble you, to prove you, to know what was in your heart, whether you would keep his commandments, or not. 3He humbled you, and allowed you to be hungry, and fed you with manna, which you didn’t know, neither did your fathers know; that he might teach you that man does not live by bread only, but man lives by every word that proceeds out of Yahweh’s mouth. 4Your clothing didn’t grow old on you, neither did your foot swell, these forty years. 5You shall consider in your heart that as a man disciplines his son, so Yahweh your God disciplines you. 6You shall keep the commandments of Yahweh your God, to walk in his ways, and to fear him. 7For Yahweh your God brings you into a good land, a land of brooks of water, of springs, and underground water flowing into valleys and hills; 8a land of wheat and barley, and vines and fig trees and pomegranates; a land of olive trees and honey; 9a land in which you shall eat bread without scarceness, you shall not lack anything in it; a land whose stones are iron, and out of whose hills you may dig copper. 10You shall eat and be full, and you shall bless Yahweh your God for the good land which he has given you. 11Beware lest you forget Yahweh your God, in not keeping his commandments, and his ordinances, and his statutes, which I command you this day; 12lest, when you have eaten and are full, and have built fine houses, and lived in them; 13and when your herds and your flocks multiply, and your silver and your gold is multiplied, and all that you have is multiplied; 14then your heart might be lifted up, and you forget Yahweh your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage; 15who led you through the great and terrible wilderness, with fiery serpents and scorpions, and thirsty ground where there was no water; who poured water for you out of the rock of flint; 16who fed you in the wilderness with manna, which your fathers didn’t know; that he might humble you, and that he might prove you, to do you good at your latter end: 17and lest you say in your heart, “My power and the might of my hand has gotten me this wealth.” 18But you shall remember Yahweh your God, for it is he who gives you power to get wealth; that he may establish his covenant which he swore to your fathers, as at this day. 19It shall be, if you shall forget Yahweh your God, and walk after other gods, and serve them, and worship them, I testify against you this day that you shall surely perish. 20As the nations that Yahweh makes to perish before you, so you shall perish; because you wouldn’t listen to Yahweh your God’s voice.

1Alle geboden, die ik u heden gebiede, zult gij waarnemen om te doen, opdat gij leeft, en vermenigvuldigt, en inkomt, en het land erft, dat de HEERE aan uw vaderen gezworen heeft. 2En gij zult gedenken aan al den weg, dien u den HEERE, uw God, deze veertig jaren in de woestijn geleid heeft; opdat Hij u verootmoedige, om u te verzoeken, om te weten, wat in uw hart was, of gij Zijn geboden zoudt houden, of niet. 3En Hij verootmoedigde u, en liet u hongeren, en spijsde u met het Man, dat gij niet kendet, noch uw vaderen gekend hadden; opdat Hij u bekend maakte, dat de mens niet alleen van het brood leeft, maar dat de mens leeft van alles, wat uit des HEEREN mond uitgaat. 4Uw kleding is aan u niet verouderd, en uw voet is niet gezwollen, deze veertig jaren. 5Bekent dan in uw hart, dat de HEERE, uw God, u kastijdt, gelijk als een man zijn zoon kastijdt. 6En houdt de geboden des HEEREN, uws Gods, om in Zijn wegen te wandelen, en om Hem te vrezen. 7Want de HEERE, uw God, brengt u in een goed land, een land van waterbeken, fonteinen en diepten, die in dalen en in bergen uitvlieten; 8Een land van tarwe en gerst, en wijnstokken, en vijgebomen, en granaatappelen; een land van olierijke olijfbomen, en van honig; 9Een land, waarin gij brood zonder schaarsheid eten zult, waarin u niets ontbreken zal; een land, welks stenen ijzer zijn, en uit welks bergen gij koper uithouwen zult. 10Als gij dan zult gegeten hebben, en verzadigd zijn, zo zult gij den HEERE, uw God, loven over dat goede land, dat Hij u zal hebben gegeven. 11Wacht u, dat gij den HEERE, uw God, niet vergeet, dat gij niet zoudt houden Zijn geboden, en Zijn rechten, en Zijn inzettingen, die ik u heden gebiede; 12Opdat niet misschien, als gij zult gegeten hebben, en verzadigd zijn, en goede huizen gebouwd hebben, en die bewonen, 13En uw runderen en uw schapen zullen vermeerderd zijn, ook zilver en goud u zal vermeerderd zijn, ja, al wat gij hebt vermeerderd zal zijn; 14Uw hart zich alsdan verheffe, dat gij vergeet den HEERE, uw God, Die u uit Egypteland, uit het diensthuis, uitgevoerd heeft; 15Die u geleid heeft in die grote en vreselijke woestijn, waar vurige slangen, en schorpioenen, en dorheid, waar geen water was; Die u water uit de keiachtige rots voortbracht; 16Die u in de woestijn spijsde met Man, dat uw vaderen niet gekend hadden; om u te verootmoedigen, en om u te verzoeken, opdat Hij u ten laatste weldeed; 17En gij in uw hart zegt: Mijn kracht, en de sterkte mijner hand heeft mij dit vermogen verkregen. 18Maar gij zult gedenken den HEERE, uw God, dat Hij het is, Die u kracht geeft om vermogen te verkrijgen; opdat Hij Zijn verbond bevestige, dat Hij aan uw vaderen gezworen heeft, gelijk het te dezen dage is. 19Maar indien het geschiedt, dat gij den HEERE, uw God, ganselijk vergeet, en andere goden navolgt, en hen dient, en u voor dezelve buigt, zo betuig ik heden tegen u, dat gij voorzeker zult vergaan. 20Gelijk de heidenen, die de HEERE voor uw aangezicht verdaan heeft, alzo zult gij vergaan, omdat gij de stem des HEEREN, uws Gods, niet gehoorzaam zult geweest zijn.
