DEḆARIM 30 (Deuteronomy 30)

1 “And it shall be, when all these words come upon you, the beraḵah and the curse which I have put before you, and you shall bring them back to your heart among all the gentiles where 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 your Elohim drives you,

2 and shall turn back to 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 your Elohim and obey His voice, according to all that I command you today, with all your heart and with all your being, you and your children,

3 then 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 your Elohim shall turn back your captivity, and shall have compassion on you, and He shall turn back and gather you from all the peoples where your Elohim has scattered you.

4 “If any of you are driven out to the farthest parts under the shamayim, from there 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 your Elohim gathers you, and from there He takes you.

5 “And 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 your Elohim shall bring you to the land which your fathers possessed, and you shall possess it. And He shall do good to you, and increase you more than your fathers.

6 “And 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 your Elohim shall circumcise your heart and the heart of your seed, to love 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 your Elohim with all your heart and with all your being, so that you might live,

7 and 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 your Elohim shall put all these curses on your enemies and on those who hate you, who persecuted you.

8 “And you shall turn back and obey the voice of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 and do all His Commands which I command you today.

9 “And 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 your Elohim shall make you have excess in all the work of your hand, in the fruit of your body, and in the fruit of your livestock, and in the fruit of your ground for good. For 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 turns back to rejoice over you for good as He rejoiced over your fathers,

10 if you obey the voice of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 your Elohim, to guard His Commands and His Laws which are written in this Book of the Torah, if you turn back to 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 your Elohim with all your heart and with all your being.

11 “For this Command which I am commanding you today, it is not too hard for you, nor is it far off.

12 “It is not in the shamayim, to say, ‘Who shall ascend into the shamayim for us, and bring it to us, and cause us to hear it, so that we do it?’

13 “Nor is it beyond the sea, to say, ‘Who shall go over the sea for us, and bring it to us, and cause us to hear it, so that we do it?

14 “For the Word is very near you, in your mouth and in your heart – to do it.

15 “See, I have put before you today ḥai and good, and death and evil,

16 in that I am commanding you today to love 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 your Elohim, to walk in His Ways, and to guard His Commands, and His Laws, and His Right-Rulings. And you shall live and increase, and 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 your Elohim shall baraḵ you in the land which you go to possess.

17 “But if your heart turns away, and you do not obey, and shall be drawn away, and shall bow down to other mighty ones and serve them,

18 “I have declared to you today that you shall certainly perish, you shall not prolong your days in the land which you are passing over the Yardĕn to enter and possess.

19 “I have called the shamayim and the earth as witnesses today against you: I have put before you ḥai and death, the beraḵah and the curse. Therefore you shall choose ḥai, so that you live, both you and your seed,

20 to love 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 your Elohim, to obey His voice, and to cling to Him – for He is your ḥai and the length of your days – to dwell in the land which 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 swore to your fathers, to Aḇraham, to Yitsḥaq, and to Ya’aqoḇ, to give them.”
