1When all these blessings and curses I have set before you come on you and you take them to heart wherever the Lord your God disperses you among the nations, 2and when you and your children return to the Lord your God and obey him with all your heart and with all your soul according to everything I command you today, 3then the Lord your God will restore your fortunes⚓ and have compassion on you and gather you again from all the nations where he scattered you. 4Even if you have been banished to the most distant land under the heavens, from there the Lord your God will gather you and bring you back. 5He will bring you to the land that belonged to your ancestors, and you will take possession of it. He will make you more prosperous and numerous than your ancestors. 6The Lord your God will circumcise your hearts and the hearts of your descendants, so that you may love him with all your heart and with all your soul, and live. 7The Lord your God will put all these curses on your enemies who hate and persecute you. 8You will again obey the Lord and follow all his commands I am giving you today. 9Then the Lord your God will make you most prosperous in all the work of your hands and in the fruit of your womb, the young of your livestock and the crops of your land. The Lord will again delight in you and make you prosperous, just as he delighted in your ancestors, 10if you obey the Lord your God and keep his commands and decrees that are written in this Book of the Law and turn to the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul.
The Offer of Life or Death
11Now what I am commanding you today is not too difficult for you or beyond your reach. 12It is not up in heaven, so that you have to ask, “Who will ascend into heaven to get it and proclaim it to us so we may obey it?” 13Nor is it beyond the sea, so that you have to ask, “Who will cross the sea to get it and proclaim it to us so we may obey it?” 14No, the word is very near you; it is in your mouth and in your heart so you may obey it. 15See, I set before you today life and prosperity, death and destruction. 16For I command you today to love the Lord your God, to walk in obedience to him, and to keep his commands, decrees and laws; then you will live and increase, and the Lord your God will bless you in the land you are entering to possess. 17But if your heart turns away and you are not obedient, and if you are drawn away to bow down to other gods and worship them, 18I declare to you this day that you will certainly be destroyed. You will not live long in the land you are crossing the Jordan to enter and possess. 19This day I call the heavens and the earth as witnesses against you that I have set before you life and death, blessings and curses. Now choose life, so that you and your children may live 20and that you may love the Lord your God, listen to his voice, and hold fast to him. For the Lord is your life, and he will give you many years in the land he swore to give to your fathers, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.

Xaiv Koob Hmoov Lossis Xaiv Lus Foom Tsis Zoo
1“Kuv cia nej xaiv saib, nej yuav tej lus foom koob hmoov lossis tej lus foom tsis zoo. Thaum muaj tej xwm no los raug nej, thiab thaum tus TSWV uas yog nej tus Vajtswv ntiab nej mus nrog lwm haivneeg nyob, nej yuav nco txog tej uas kuv kom nej xaiv no. 2Yog nej thiab nej tej tubki rov los cuag tus TSWV thiab ua raws li nws tej kevcai uas hnub no kuv qhia rau nej kawg siab kawg ntsws, 3tus TSWV uas yog nej tus Vajtswv yuav hlub nej. Nws yuav coj nej tawm hauv txhua lub tebchaws uas nws ntiab nej mus nyob rov los, thiab nws yuav pub kom nej lub neej rov vammeej dua. 4Txawm yog nej tsiv mus nyob rau txhua ceg kaum ntuj lawm los tus TSWV uas yog nej tus Vajtswv yuav coj nej rov los; 5nej yuav tau kav lub tebchaws uas thaum ub nej cov yawgkoob nyob los lawm. Tus TSWV yuav pub kom nej huamvam thiab vammeej tshaj nej cov yawgkoob. 6Tus TSWV uas yog nej tus Vajtswv yuav pub lub siab uas paub mloog lus rau nej thiab nej tej xeebntxwv, nej thiaj muab siab npuab tus TSWV thiab hlub nws kawg siab kawg ntsws, thiab nej yuav nyob hauv lub tebchaws ntawd mus li. 7Nws yuav muab tej lus foom tsis zoo no rau nej tej yeebncuab uas ntxub thiab tsimtxom nej, 8nej thiaj yuav mloog nws lus thiab ua raws li nws tej kevcai txhua nqe uas hnub no kuv qhia rau nej. 9Tus TSWV yuav pub kom tej uas nej ua vammeej; nej yuav muaj tubki thiab muaj tsiaj txhu coob ua npoj ntws, thiab nej tej teb yuav ntsu qoob. Tus TSWV yuav txaus siab ua kom nej vammeej ib yam li nws ua rau nej cov yawgkoob vammeej, 10tiamsis nej yuav tsum mloog nws lus thiab coj raws li nws tej kevcai uas sau rau hauv phau ntawv no txhua nqe huv tibsi. Nej yuav tsum tig rov los muab siab npuab tus TSWV kom kawg siab kawg ntsws. 11“Tej kevcai uas hnub no kuv qhia rau nej, nej tsis txhob xav hais tias nyuaj thiab coj tsis tau. 12Tej kevcai no tsis yog nyob saum ntuj. Tsis tas nej yuav nug hais tias, ‘Leejtwg yuav nce mus muab los rau peb, kom peb thiaj hnov thiab coj raws li ntawd?’ 13Tej kevcai ntawd tsis yog nyob sab ntug hiavtxwv tim ub. Tsis tas nej yuav nug hais tias, ‘Leejtwg yuav hla hiavtxwv mus muab los rau peb, kom peb thiaj hnov thiab coj raws li ntawd?’ 14Tej kevcai ntawd nyob ntawm nej no ntag. Nej yeej paub thiab nyob hauv nej lub siab, nej cia li ua raws li ntawd. 15“Hnub no kuv cia nej xaiv, saib nej yuav qhov phem lossis qhov zoo, nej yuav txojsia lossis kev tuag. 16Yog hais tias nej mloog thiab ua raws li tus TSWV uas yog nej tus Vajtswv tej lus uas hnub no kuv qhia rau nej, yog nej hlub nws, mloog nws lus thiab coj raws li nws tej kevcai, nej yuav vammeej thiab ua ib haivneeg coob heev. Tus TSWV uas yog nej tus Vajtswv yuav foom koob hmoov rau lub tebchaws uas nej yuav mus nyob. 17Tiamsis yog nej tsis mloog nws lus, tsis ua raws li nws tej lus qhia, thiab cia luag coj nej mus pe luag tej vajtswv, 18hnub no kuv hais rau nej hais tias nej yuav raug kev puastsuaj. Nej yuav tsis tau nyob ntev hauv lub tebchaws uas nej yuav hla tus Dej Yauladees mus tua thiab nyob. 19Nimno kuv cia nej xaiv saib nej yuav txojsia lossis yuav kev tuag, nej yuav tej lus foom koob hmoov lossis tej lus foom tsis zoo; kuv thov lub ntuj lub teb nrog ua timkhawv rau tej uas hnub no nej xaiv. Nej cia li xaiv txojsia. 20Hlub tus TSWV uas yog nej tus Vajtswv, ua raws li nws tej lus qhia, thiab muab siab npuab nws, nej thiab nej tej xeebntxwv thiaj muaj sia nyob ntev hauv lub tebchaws uas tus TSWV tau coglus tseg rau nej yawgkoob Anplahas, Ixaj thiab Yakhauj lawm.”
