1 And it hath been, when all these things come upon thee, the blessing and the reviling, which I have set before thee, and thou hast brought them back unto thy heart, among all the nations whither Jehovah thy God hath driven thee away,
1 “So it shall be when all of these things have come upon you, (A)the blessing and the curse which I have set before you, and you (a)call them to mind (B)in all nations where the Lord your God has banished you,
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,
1 “When all these things happen to you—the blessings and curses I have set before you—and you come to your senses while you are in all the nations where the Lord your God has driven you,
1 "When all these things happen to you both the blessings and the curses that I've presented to you and you take them seriously in all the nations where the LORD your God will deport you,
2 and hast turned back unto Jehovah thy God, and hearkened to His voice, according to all that I am commanding thee to-day, thou and thy sons, with all thy heart, and with all thy soul --
2 and you (C)return to the Lord your God and (b)obey Him (D)with all your heart and soul according to all that I command you today, you and your sons,
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;

2 and when you you and your descendants, that is will have returned to him and obeyed all the commands that I'm giving you today with all your heart and soul,
3 then hath Jehovah thy God turned back to thy captivity, and pitied thee, yea, He hath turned back and gathered thee out of all the peoples whither Jehovah thy God hath scattered thee.
3 then the Lord your God will (E)restore (c)you from captivity, and have compassion on you, and (F)will gather you again from all the peoples where the Lord your God has (G)scattered you.
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 thine outcast is in the extremity of the heavens, thence doth Jehovah thy God gather thee, and thence He doth take thee;
4 If your outcasts are at the ends of the (d)earth, (H)from there the Lord your God will gather you, and from there He will (e)bring you back.
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:
4 Even if your exiles are at the ends of the earth,(c) He will gather you and bring you back from there.(B)
4 Even if the LORD had banished you to the ends of the heavens, the LORD your God will gather you from there
5 and Jehovah thy God hath brought thee in unto the land which thy fathers have possessed, and thou hast inherited it, and He hath done thee good, and multiplied thee above thy fathers.

5 and he'll bring you to the land that your ancestors inherited. You'll possess it, you'll prosper, and you'll greatly multiply more than your ancestors did.
6 'And Jehovah thy God hath circumcised thy heart, and the heart of thy seed, to love Jehovah thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, for the sake of thy life;
6 “Moreover (K)the Lord your God will circumcise your heart and the heart of your (f)descendants, (L)to love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul, so that you may live.
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.
6 The Lord your God will circumcise your heart(D) and the hearts of your descendants, and you will love Him with all your heart and all your soul so that you will live.
6 Then the LORD your God will circumcise both your hearts and those of your descendants so that you can love him with your heart and with your soul and therefore live.
7 and Jehovah thy God hath put all this oath on thine enemies, and on those hating thee, who have pursued thee.
7 (M)The Lord your God will (g)inflict all these curses on your enemies and on those who hate you, who persecuted you.
7 And the LORD thy God will put all these curses upon thine enemies, and on them that hate thee, which persecuted thee.
7 The Lord your God will put all these curses on your enemies who hate and persecute you.
7 Then the LORD your God will inflict all these curses on your enemies and on those who hate and persecute you."
8 'And thou dost turn back, and hast hearkened to the voice of Jehovah, and hast done all His commands which I am commanding thee to-day;
8 And thou shalt return and obey the voice of the LORD, and do all his commandments which I command thee this day.
8 Then you will again obey Him and follow all His commands I am giving you today.
8 "So now, return and obey the LORD your God and observe all his commands that I'm giving you today,
9 and Jehovah thy God hath made thee abundant in every work of thy hand, in the fruit of thy body, and in the fruit of thy cattle, and in the fruit of thy ground, for good; for Jehovah turneth back to rejoice over thee for good, as He rejoiced over thy fathers,
9 (N)Then the Lord your God will (i)prosper you abundantly in all the work of your hand, in the (j)offspring of your (k)body and in the (l)offspring of your cattle and in the (m)produce of your ground, for (O)the Lord will again rejoice over you for good, just as He rejoiced over your fathers;
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:
9 The Lord your God will make you prosper abundantly in all the work of your hands(E) with children,(d) the offspring of your livestock, and your land’s produce. Indeed, the Lord will again delight in your prosperity, as He delighted in that of your fathers,
9 and the LORD your God will prosper you abundantly in all that you do, along with your children, your livestock, and the produce of your fields, because the LORD your God will again be delighted with you for good, just as he was delighted with your ancestors,
10 for thou dost hearken to the voice of Jehovah thy God, to keep His commands, and His statutes, which are written in the book of this law, for thou turnest back unto Jehovah thy God, with all thy heart, and with all thy soul.
10 (n)if you (o)obey the Lord your God to keep His commandments and His statutes which (P)are written in this book of the law, (p)if you turn to the Lord your God (Q)with all your heart and soul.
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.
10 when you obey the Lord your God by keeping His commands and statutes that are written in this book of the law and return to Him with all your heart and all your soul.
10 if you obey him and keep his commands and statutes that are written in this Book of the Law, and if you return to him with all your heart and soul.
11 For this command which I am commanding thee to-day, it is not too wonderful for thee, nor is it far off.
11 “For this commandment which I command you today is not too difficult for you, nor is it (q)out of reach.
11 For this commandment which I command thee this day, it is not hidden from thee, neither is it far off.
11 “This command that I give you today is certainly not too difficult or beyond your reach.
11 Indeed, these commands that I'm giving you today are neither confusing nor unattainable for you.
12 It is not in the heavens, -- saying, Who doth go up for us into the heavens, and doth take it for us, and doth cause us to hear it -- that we may do it.
12 It is not in heaven, (r)that you should say, ‘(R)Who will go up to heaven for us to get it for us and make us hear it, that we may observe it?’
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?
12 It is not in heaven so that you have to ask, ‘Who will go up to heaven, get it for us, and proclaim it to us so that we may follow it?’
12 They aren't in the heavens, so you have to ask, "Who'll go up to the heavens for us and get it for us so we can hear it and act on it?'
13 And it is not beyond the sea, -- saying, Who doth pass over for us beyond the sea, and doth take it for us, and doth cause us to hear it -- that we may do it?
13 Nor is it beyond the sea, (s)that you should say, ‘Who will cross the sea for us to get it for us and make us hear it, that we may observe 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?
13 And it is not across the sea so that you have to ask, ‘Who will cross the sea, get it for us, and proclaim it to us so that we may follow it?’
13 And they aren't beyond the seas either, so you have to ask, "Who'll cross the sea and get it for us so we can hear it and act on it?'
14 For very near unto thee is the word, in thy mouth, and in thy heart -- to do it.
14 But the word is very near you, in your mouth and in your heart, that you may observe it.
14 But the word is very nigh unto thee, in thy mouth, and in thy heart, that thou mayest do it.
14 No, the word is very near you it's within your mouth and heart for you to attain."
16 in that I am commanding thee to-day to love Jehovah thy God, to walk in His ways, and to keep His commands, and His statutes, and His judgments; and thou hast lived and multiplied, and Jehovah thy God hath blessed thee in the land whither thou art going in to possess it.
16 in that I command you today (T)to love the Lord your God, to walk in His ways and to keep His commandments and His statutes and His judgments, that you (U)may live and multiply, and that the Lord your God may bless you in the land where you are entering to possess it.
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.
16 For(e) I am commanding you today to love the Lord your God, to walk in His ways, and to keep His commands, statutes, and ordinances, so that you may live(f) and multiply, and the Lord your God may bless you in the land you are entering to possess.
16 That's why I'm commanding you today to love the LORD your God by walking in his ways and by observing his commands, statutes, and ordinances, so that you may live long, increase, and so that the LORD your God may bless you in the land that you are about to enter to possess.
17 'And if thy heart doth turn, and thou dost not hearken, and hast been driven away, and hast bowed thyself to other gods, and served them,
17 But if your heart turns away and you will not obey, but are drawn away and worship other gods and serve them,
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;
17 But if your heart turns away and you do not listen and you are led astray to bow down to other gods and worship them,
17 But if you turn your heart away, and do not obey, but instead if you stray away to worship and serve other gods,
18 I have declared to you this day, that ye do certainly perish, ye do not prolong days on the ground which thou art passing over the Jordan to go in thither to possess it.
18 I declare to you today that (V)you shall surely perish. You will not prolong your days in the land where you are crossing the Jordan to enter (v)and possess it.
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.
18 I tell you today that you will certainly perish and will not live long in the land you are entering to possess across the Jordan.
18 I'm declaring to you today that you will surely be destroyed. You won't live long in the land that you are crossing the Jordan River to enter and possess.
19 'I have caused to testify against you to-day the heavens and the earth; life and death I have set before thee, the blessing and the reviling; and thou hast fixed on life, so that thou dost live, thou and thy seed,
19 (W)I call heaven and earth to witness against you today, that I have set before you life and death, (X)the blessing and the curse. So choose life in order that you may live, you and your (w)descendants,
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:
19 I call heaven and earth as witnesses against you today that I have set before you life and death, blessing and curse. Choose life(H) so that you and your descendants may live,
19 I call heaven and earth to testify against you today! I've set life and death before you today: both blessings and curses. Choose life, that it may be well with you you and your children.
20 to love Jehovah thy God, to hearken to His voice, and to cleave to Him (for He is thy life, and the length of thy days), to dwell on the ground which Jehovah hath sworn to thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give to them.'
20 (Y)by loving the Lord your God, by obeying His voice, and (Z)by holding fast to Him; (AA)for (x)this is your life and the length of your days, (y)that you may live in (AB)the land which the Lord swore to your fathers, to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, to give them.”
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.
20 love the Lord your God, obey Him, and remain faithful(g) to Him. For He is your life, and He will prolong your life in the land the Lord swore to give to your fathers(I) Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.”
20 Love the LORD your God, obey his voice, and cling to him, because he is your life even your long life so that you may live in the land that the LORD promised to give Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob."
