6:13 你要敬畏耶和华你的 神,事奉他,指着他的名起誓。
6:14 不可随从别神,就是你们四围国民的神,
6:15 因为在你们中间的耶和华你 神,是忌邪的 神。惟恐耶和华你 神的怒气向你发作,就把你从地上除灭。
6:16 你们不可试探耶和华你们的 神,像你们在玛撒那样试探他。
6:17 要留意遵守耶和华你们 神所吩咐的诫命、法度、律例。
6:18 耶和华眼中看为正看为善的,你都要遵行,使你可以享福,并可以进去得耶和华向你列祖起誓应许的那美地,
6:19 照耶和华所说的,从你面前撵出你的一切仇敌。
6:20 日后,你的儿子问你说:‘耶和华我们 神吩咐你们的这些法度、律例、典章是什么意思呢?’
6:21 你就告诉你的儿子说:‘我们在埃及作过法老的奴仆,耶和华用大能的手将我们从埃及领出来,
6:22 在我们眼前,将重大可怕的神迹奇事,施行在埃及地和法老并他全家的身上,
6:23 将我们从那里领出来,要领我们进入他向我们列祖起誓应许之地,把这地赐给我们。
6:24 耶和华又吩咐我们遵行这一切律例,要敬畏耶和华我们的 神,使我们常得好处,蒙他保全我们的生命,像今日一样。
6:25 我们若照耶和华我们 神所吩咐的一切诫命,谨守遵行,这就是我们的义了。’
13Fear the Lord your God, serve him only and take your oaths in his name.
14Do not follow other gods, the gods of the peoples around you;
15for the Lord your God, who is among you, is a jealous God and his anger will burn against you, and he will destroy you from the face of the land.
16Do not test the Lord your God as you did at Massah.
17Be sure to keep the commands of the Lord your God and the stipulations and decrees he has given you.
18Do what is right and good in the Lord 's sight, so that it may go well with you and you may go in and take over the good land that the Lord promised on oath to your forefathers,
19thrusting out all your enemies before you, as the Lord said.
20In the future, when your son asks you, "What is the meaning of the stipulations, decrees and laws the Lord our God has commanded you?"
21tell him: "We were slaves of Pharaoh in Egypt, but the Lord brought us out of Egypt with a mighty hand.
22Before our eyes the Lord sent miraculous signs and wonders-great and terrible-upon Egypt and Pharaoh and his whole household.
23But he brought us out from there to bring us in and give us the land that he promised on oath to our forefathers.
24The Lord commanded us to obey all these decrees and to fear the Lord our God, so that we might always prosper and be kept alive, as is the case today.
25And if we are careful to obey all this law before the Lord our God, as he has commanded us, that will be our righteousness."
