1 "Un, kad tas viss nāks pār tevi, svētība un lāsti, ko es tev lieku priekšā, un tu tos nopietni ņemsi pie sirds visu tautu vidū, starp kurām Tas Kungs, tavs Dievs, tevi būs izkaisījis, 2 un tu atgriezīsies pie Tā Kunga, sava Dieva, tu un tavi bērni, un klausīsi Viņa balsij ar visu savu sirdi un visu savu dvēseli, ko es tev šodien pavēlu, 3 tad arī Tas Kungs, tavs Dievs, atjaunos tevi no gūsta un būs žēlīgs pret tevi, un tevi atkal savāks kopā no visām tautām, starp kurām Tas Kungs, tavs Dievs, tevi ir izkaisījis. 4 Jebšu tavi izraidītie būtu pašā debess galā, tad tomēr Tas Kungs, tavs Dievs, arī no turienes tevi savāks kopā un arī no turienes Viņš tevi atdabūs. 5 Un Tas Kungs, tavs Dievs, tevi vedīs atpakaļ uz to zemi, ko tavi tēvi bija iemantojuši, un tu to iemantosi, un Viņš tev darīs daudz laba un tevi vairos vairāk nekā tavus tēvus. 6 Un Tas Kungs, tavs Dievs, apgraizīs tavu un tavu pēcnācēju sirdi, ka tu mīlētu To Kungu, savu Dievu, no visas savas sirds un ar visu savu dvēseli, lai tu dzīvotu. 7 Un Tas Kungs, tavs Dievs, liks visus šos lāstus uz taviem ienaidniekiem un uz taviem skauģiem, kas tevi vajā. 8 Bet tu atkal klausīsi Tā Kunga balsij un pildīsi visus Viņa baušļus, ko es tev šodien pavēlu. 9 Un Tas Kungs, tavs Dievs, tevi bagātīgi svētīs ikvienā tavā roku darbā, tava klēpja augļus, tavu liellopu augļus un tavas zemes augļus, jo Tas Kungs atkal priecāsies par tevi tavā labumā, tāpat kā Viņš priecājās par taviem tēviem, 10 ja tu klausīsi Tā Kunga, sava Dieva, balsij, turēdams Viņa baušļus un Viņa likumus, kas ir rakstīti šinī bauslības grāmatā, un ja tu atgriezīsies pie Tā Kunga, sava Dieva, ar visu savu sirdi un ar visu savu dvēseli. 11 Jo šis bauslis, ko es tev šodien pavēlu, nav tev nedz pārāk grūts, nedz par tālu; 12 tas nav debesīs, ka tev būtu jāsaka: kas mūsu dēļ kāps debesīs un mums to paņems un mums to paziņos, ka mēs to varētu pildīt? 13 Tas nav arī viņpus jūras, ka tev būtu jāsaka: kas mūsu dēļ celsies pāri jūrai un mums to atvedīs un mums to paziņos, ka mēs to varētu pildīt? 14 Nē, tas vārds ir ļoti tuvu pie tevis, tavā mutē un tavā sirdī, lai tu to pildītu. 15 Redzi, es šodien lieku tavā priekšā dzīvību un labumu, nāvi un ļaunumu. 16 Es tev šodien pavēlu To Kungu, savu Dievu, mīlēt un staigāt Viņa ceļus, turēt Viņa baušļus, Viņa likumus un Viņa tiesas, ka tu dzīvotu un vairotos, un Tas Kungs, tavs Dievs, tevi svētītu tanī zemē, uz kuru tu dodies, lai to iemantotu. 17 Bet, ja tava sirds novērsīsies un nepaklausīs, bet tu ļausies pavesties, lai pielūgtu citus dievus un kalpotu tiem, 18 tad es jums šodien saku, ka jūs noteikti iesit bojā; un jūs ilgi nedzīvosit tanī zemē, uz kuru tu tagad ej pāri Jordānai, lai tur nonāktu un lai to iemantotu. 19 Es šodien piesaucu debesis un zemi kā lieciniekus pret jums, ka lieku jūsu priekšā dzīvību un nāvi, svētību un lāstu; tad nu izvēlies dzīvību, ka dzīvotu gan tu, gan tavi pēcnācēji, 20 mīlēdams To Kungu, savu Dievu, paklausīdams Viņa balsij un Viņam pieķerdamies, jo Viņš ir tava dzīvība un tavu dienu garums, ka tu dzīvotu tanī zemē, ko Tas Kungs taviem tēviem, Ābrahāmam, Īzākam un Jēkabam, ar zvērestu ir apsolījis dot."
1 And 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, 2 And 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; 3 That 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. 4 If 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: 5 And 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. 6 And 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. 7 And the LORD thy God will put all these curses upon thine enemies, and on them that hate thee, which persecuted thee. 8 And thou shalt return and obey the voice of the LORD, and do all his commandments which I command thee this day. 9 And 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: 10 If 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.
11 ¶ For this commandment which I command thee this day, it is not hidden from thee, neither is it far off. 12 It 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? 13 Neither 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? 14 But the word is very nigh unto thee, in thy mouth, and in thy heart, that thou mayest do it.
15 ¶ See, I have set before thee this day life and good, and death and evil; 16 In 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. 17 But if thine heart turn away, so that thou wilt not hear, but shalt be drawn away, and worship other gods, and serve them; 18 I 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. 19 I 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: 20 That 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.
