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 YHVHa, thy Elohimb, hath driven thee,
2
And shalt return unto YHVH, thy Elohim, and shalt obey His voice according to all that I commanda thee this day, thou and thy children, with all thine hearta and with all thy soulb,
3
That YHVH, thy Elohim, will turn thy captivity, and have compassion upon thee, and will return and gathera thee from all the nations, whither from YHVH, thy Elohim, hath scatteredb thee.
4
And if any of thine be driven out unto the outmost parts of the heavens, from thence will YHVH, thy Elohim, gather thee and from thence will He fetch thee;
5
And YHVH, thy Elohim, 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 YHVH, thy Elohim, will circumcisea thine heartb and the heart of thy seed, to love YHVH, thy Elohim, with allc thine heart and with all thy soul, that thou mayest live.
7
And YHVH, thy Elohim, 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 YHVH, and do all His mitzvotha which I command thee this day.
9
And YHVH, thy Elohim, 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;
10
For YHVH will again rejoice over thee for good, as He rejoiced over thy fathers, if thou shalt hearken unto the Voice of YHVH, thy Elohim,
11
To keep his mitzvoth and His ordinances which are written in this Book of the Toraha, and if thou turn unto YHVH, thy Elohim, with all thine heart and with all thy soul:
12
For this mitzvah which I command thee this day, it is not hidden from thee; neither is it far off.
13
It is not in heavena, 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?
14
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?
16
Look and see that I have set before thee this day life and good, and death and evil, in that I command thee this day to love YHVH, thy Elohim,
17
To walk in His ways, and to keep His mitzvoth, and His ordinancesa, and his customsb, that thou mayest live and multiply; and YHVH, thy Elohim, shall bless thee in the land whither thou goest to possess it.
18
ΒΆ But if thine heart turn away, so that thou wilt not hear, but shalt be drawn away, and worship other elohima, and serve them,
19
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.
20
I call the heavens 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,
21
That thou mayest love YHVH, thy Elohim, and that thou mayest obey His Voice, and that thou mayest cleave unto Him;
22
For YHVH is thy life and shall the length of thy days that thou mayest dwell in the land which YHVH swore unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give them.
23
And when, in blessing, YHVH, thy Elohim, shall bestow upon thee any great and choice blessing;
24
Or, in His abundant charity, shall deliver thee from any great calamity, thou shalt assemble together thy wives, and thy children; thy friends, and thy neighbors and shalt celebrate His glorious goodness with thank offerings, and feastings, and music, and dancing.
25
And for the chief blessings of YHVH to thee, thou shalt keep it in remembrance from year to year, and teach it to thy children,
26
That they who inherit the blessing may not forget gratitude to the giver, and the remembrance of the goodness of thy Elohim be preserved throughout all generations; So mote it be, Amen.
27
And these are the words which Moses gave unto Israel, which are the Torah which YHVH did give unto Moses, in that day that he ascended into the mountain.
