For the Lord’s Compassion, Return to Him with All Your Heart & Soul |
Deuteronomy 30:1-20 Deuteronomy the Fifth Book of Moses |
It shall [happen,] when all these things come upon you, the blessing & the curse, [that] I have [put] before you & you shall [remember them when you are] among all the nations [where] the Lord your God has driven you. |
[You] shall return to the Lord your God & shall obey His voice, according to all I command you & your children with all your heart & all your soul, this day. Then, the Lord will [return you from] your captivity & have compassion on you. |
He will return & gather you from all the nations, [where] the Lord your God has scattered you, even to [the furthest lands under] heaven. The Lord your God will gather you from there & [bring you back again.] |
The Lord your God will bring you into the land [that] your [forefathers] possessed & you shall possess it. [The Lord] will do good to you & multiply you more than your [forefathers.] |
The Lord your God will circumcise your heart & the [hearts of your descendants,] to love the Lord your God with all your heart & all your soul, [so] you may live. |
The Lord your God will put all these curses upon your enemies & [those who] hate you & persecuted you. You shall return & obey & do [what the Lord said] & all His commandments that I [give] you this day. |
The Lord your God will make every work of your hand [plentiful] & [your offspring,] the [offspring of your livestock] & [the harvest of your land] for good. For the Lord [God] will again rejoice over you for good, [like] He rejoiced over your [forefathers.] |
If you shall [pay attention to] the voice of the Lord your God & keep His commandments & His [mandates, that] are written in this Book of the Law & you turn to the Lord your God with all your heart & with all your soul. |
For this commandment that I [give] you this day is not hidden from you, neither is it far [away.] It isn’t in heaven, that you say, Who shall go up to heaven for us & bring it to us, [so] we may hear & do it? |
Neither is it beyond the sea, that you should say, Who shall go over the sea for us & bring it to us, [so] we may hear & do it? But the Word is very [close] to you, in your heart & in your mouth, so that you may do it. |
See, I have set before you this day, life & good, and death & evil. For I command you this day to love the Lord your God, to walk in His ways & to keep His commandments, His [mandates] & His judgments, [so] you may live & multiply. |
And the Lord your God shall bless you in the land [where] you go to possess it. But if your heart [turns] away, so you won’t hear & [are lead astray] to worship other gods & serve them; |
I [announce] to you this day, that you shall surely perish & your [life will not be prolonged] upon the land, [where] you pass over [the] Jordan [River] to go possess it. |
I call heaven & earth [as witnesses] this day against you, that I have [put] before you life & death, blessing & [curses.] Therefore, choose life, [so] both you & your [descendants] may live. |
[So] you may love the Lord your God & [that] you may obey His voice & that you may [cling] to Him. For [the Lord God] is your life & [He will lengthen your life:] [so] you may dwell in the land [that] the Lord [swore] to your [forefathers,] to Abraham, to Isaac & to Jacob, to give them. |
