Deuteronomy 11

ve'ahavta et Adonai elohekha veshamarta mishmarto vekhuqqotayw umishpatayw umitsvotayw kol-hayyamim

Love, therefore, the ETERNAL your God—and always keep God’s charge, laws, rules, and commandments.

vidatem hayyom ki lo et-benekhem asher lo-yade'u va'asher lo-ra'u et-musar Adonai elohekhem et-godlo et-yado hakhazaqah uzero'o hannetuyah

Take thought this day that it was not your children, who neither experienced nor witnessed the lesson of the ETERNAL your God— the majesty, mighty hand, and outstretched arm;

ve'et-ototayw ve'et-ma'asayw asher asah betokh mitsrayim lefaroh melekh-mitsrayim ulekhol-artso

the signs and the deeds that were performed in Egypt against Pharaoh king of Egypt and all his land;

va'asher asah lekhel mitsrayim lesusayw ulerikhbo asher hetsif et-me yam-suf al-penehem berodfam akharekhem vaye'abbedem Adonai ad hayyom hazzeh

what was done to Egypt’s army, its horses and chariots; how GOD rolled back upon them the waters of the Sea of Reeds when they were pursuing you, thus destroying them once and for all;

va'asher asah lakhem bammidbar ad-bo'akhem ad-hammaqom hazzeh

what was done for you in the wilderness before you arrived in this place;

va'asher asah ledatan vela'aviram bene eli'av ben-re'uven asher patsetah ha'arets et-piha vattivla'em ve'et-battehem ve'et-oholehem ve'et kol-hayequm asher beraglehem beqerev kol-yisra'el

and what was done to Dathan and Abiram, sons of Eliab son of Reuben, when the earth opened her mouth and swallowed them, along with their households, their tents, and every living thing in their train, from amidst all Israel—

ki enekhem haro'ot et-kol-ma'aseh Adonai haggadol asher asah

but that it was you who saw with your own eyes all the marvelous deeds that GOD performed.

ushemartem et-kol-hammitsvah asher anokhi metsavvekha hayyom lema'an tekhezqu uvatem virishtem et-ha'arets asher attem overim shammah lerishtah

Keep, therefore, all the Instruction that I enjoin upon you today, so that you may have the strength to enter and take possession of the land that you are about to cross into and possess,

ulema'an ta'arikhu yamim al-ha'adamah asher nishba Adonai la'avotekhem latet lahem ulezaram erets zavat khalav udevash

and that you may long endure upon the soil that GOD swore to your fathers to assign to them and to their heirs, a land flowing with milk and honey.

ki ha'arets asher attah va-shammah lerishtah lo khe'erets mitsrayim hiv asher yetsatem misham asher tizra et-zarakha vehishqita veraglekha kegan hayyaraq

For the land that you are about to enter and possess is not like the land of Egypt from which you have come. There the grain you sowed had to be watered by your own labors, like a vegetable garden;

veha'arets asher attem overim shammah lerishtah erets harim uveqa'ot limtar hashamayim tishteh-mmayim

but the land you are about to cross into and possess, a land of hills and valleys, soaks up its water from the rains of heaven.

erets asher-Adonai elohekha doresh otah tamid ene Adonai elohekha bah mereshit hashanah ve'ad akharit shanah

It is a land that the ETERNAL your God looks after, on which the ETERNAL your God always keeps an eye, from year’s beginning to year’s end.

vehayah im-shamoa tishme'u el-mitsvotay asher anokhi metsavveh etkhem hayyom le'ahavah et-Adonai elohekhem ule'ovdo bekhol-levavkhem uvekhol-nafshekhem

If, then, you obey the commandments that I enjoin upon you this day, loving the ETERNAL your God and rendering service with all your heart and soul,

venatatti metar-artsekhem be'itto yoreh umalqosh ve'asafta deganekha vetiroshekha veyitsharekha

I will grant the rain for your land in season, the early rain and the late. You shall gather in your new grain and wine and oil—

venatatti esev besadekha livhemtekha ve'akhalta vesava'eta

I will also provide grass in the fields for your cattle—and thus you shall eat your fill.

hishameru lakhem pen yifteh levavkhem vesartem va'avadtem elohim akherim vehishtakhavitem lahem

Take care not to be lured away to serve other gods and bow to them.

vekharah af-Adonai bakhem ve'atsar et-hashamayim velo-yihyeh matar veha'adamah lo titten et-yevulah va'avadtem meherah me'al ha'arets hattovah asher Adonai noten lakhem

For GOD’s anger will flare up against you, shutting up the skies so that there will be no rain and the ground will not yield its produce; and you will soon perish from the good land that GOD is assigning to you.

vesamtem et-devaray elleh al-levavkhem ve'al-nafshekhem uqeshartem otam le'ot al-yedkhem vehayu letotafot ben enekhem

Therefore impress these My words upon your very heart: bind them as a sign on your hand and let them serve as a symbol on your forehead,

velimmadtem otam et-benekhem ledabber bam beshivtekha bevetekha uvelekhtekha vadderekh uveshokhbekha uvequmekha

and teach them to your children—reciting them when you stay at home and when you are away, when you lie down and when you get up;

ukhetavtam al-mezuzot betekha uvisharekha

and inscribe them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates—

lema'an yirbu yemekhem vime venekhem al ha'adamah asher nishba Adonai la'avotekhem latet lahem kime hashamayim al-ha'arets

to the end that you and your children may endure, in the land that GOD swore to your fathers to assign to them, as long as there is a heaven over the earth.

ki im-shamor tishmerun et-kol-hammitsvah hazzot asher anokhi metsavveh etkhem la'asotah le'ahavah et-Adonai elohekhem lalekhet bekhol-derakhayw uledovqah-vo

If, then, you faithfully keep all this Instruction that I command you—by loving the ETERNAL your God, by walking in all God’s ways, and by holding fast to [God]—

vehorish Adonai et-kol-haggoyim ha'elleh millifnekhem virishtem goyim gedolim va'atsumim mikkem

the ETERNAL will dislodge before you all these nations: you will dispossess nations greater and more numerous than you.

kol-hammaqom asher tidrokh kaf-raglekhem bo lakhem yihyeh min-hammidbar vehallevanon min-hannahar nehar-perat ve'ad hayyam ha'akharon yihyeh gevulkhem

Every spot on which your foot treads shall be yours; your territory shall extend from the wilderness to the Lebanon and from the River—the Euphrates—to the Western Sea.

lo-yityatsev ish bifnekhem pakhdekhem umora'akhem yitten Adonai elohekhem al-pene khol-ha'arets asher tidrekhu-vah ka'asher dibber lakhem

No one shall stand up to you: the ETERNAL your God will put the dread and the fear of you over the whole land in which you set foot, as promised.

re'eh anokhi noten lifnekhem hayyom berakhah uqelalah

See, this day I set before you blessing and curse:

et-habberakhah asher tishme'u el-mitsvot Adonai elohekhem asher anokhi metsavveh etkhem hayyom

blessing, if you obey the commandments of the ETERNAL your God that I enjoin upon you this day;

vehaqqelalah im-lo tishme'u el-mitsvot Adonai elohekhem vesartem min-hadderekh asher anokhi metsavveh etkhem hayyom lalekhet akhare elohim akherim asher lo-yedatem

and curse, if you do not obey the commandments of the ETERNAL your God, but turn away from the path that I enjoin upon you this day and follow other gods, whom you have not experienced.

vehayah ki yevi'akha Adonai elohekha el-ha'arets asher-attah va-shammah lerishtah venatattah et-habberakhah al-har gerizim ve'et-haqqelalah al-har eval

When the ETERNAL your God brings you into the land that you are about to enter and possess, you shall pronounce the blessing at Mount Gerizim and the curse at Mount Ebal.—

halo-hemmah be'ever hayyarden akhare derekh mevo hashemesh be'erets hakkena'ani hayyoshev ba'aravah mul haggilgal etsel elone moreh

Both are on the other side of the Jordan, beyond the west road that is in the land of the Canaanites who dwell in the Arabah—near Gilgal, by the terebinths of Moreh.

ki attem overim et-hayyarden lavo lareshet et-ha'arets asher-Adonai elohekhem noten lakhem virishtem otah vishavtem-bah

For you are about to cross the Jordan to enter and possess the land that the ETERNAL your God is assigning to you. When you have occupied it and are settled in it,

ushemartem la'asot et kol-hakhuqqim ve'et-hammishpatim asher anokhi noten lifnekhem hayyom

take care to observe all the laws and rules that I have set before you this day.
