For the Lord schal turne ayen, that he haue ioye on thee in alle goodis, as he ioyede in thi fadris; ⁴ if netheles thou herist the voys of thi Lord God, and kepist hise heestis and cerymonys, that ben writun in this lawe, and thou turne ayen to thi Lord God in al thin herte, and in al thi soule. ⁵ This comaundement whiche Y comaunde to thee to day, ⁶ is not aboue thee, nethir is set fer, nethir is set in heuene, that thou maist seie, Who of vs may stie to heuene, that he brynge it to vs, and we here, and fille in werk? ⁷ nether it is set biyende the see, that thou pleyne, and seye, Who of vs may passe ouer the see, and brynge it til to vs, that we moun here and do that that is comaundid? 8 But the word is ful nyy thee, in thi mouth and in thin herte, that thou do it. 9 Biholde thou, that to day Y haue set forth in thi siyt lijf and good, and ayenward deeth and yuel; 10 that thou loue thi Lord God, and go in hise weies, and kepe hise heestis, and cerymonyes, and domes; and that thou lyue, and he multiplie thee, and blesse thee in the lond to which thou schalt entre to welde. 11 But if thin herte is turned awey, and thou nylt here, and thou art disseyued bi errour, and worschipist alien goddis, 12 and seruest hem, Y biforseie to thee to dai, that thou schalt perische, and schalt dwelle litil tyme in the lond to which thou schalt entre to welde, whanne thou schalt passe Jordan. 13 Y clepe to day heuene and erthe witnesses, that is, aungels and men, that Y haue set forth to you lijf and deeth, good and yuel, blessyng and cursyng; therfor chese thou lijf, that bothe thou lyue and thi seed, 14 and that thou loue thi Lord God, and obeie to his vois, and cleue to hym, for he is thi lijf, and the lengthe of thi daies; that thou dwelle in the lond, for which the Lord swoor to thi fadris, to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, that he schulde yyue it to hem. 16 And so Moises yede, and spak alle these wordis to al Israel, 17 and seide to hem, Y am to dai of an hundrid and twenti yeer, Y may no ferthere go out and go yn, moost sithen also the Lord seide to me, Thou schalt not passe this Jordan. 18 Therfor thi Lord God schal passe bifore thee; he schal do awei these folkis in thi siyt, and thou schalt welde hem; and this Josue schal go bifor thee, as the Lord spak. 19 And the Lord schal do to hem as he dide to Seon, and Og kyng of Ammorreis, and to the lond of hem; and he schal do hem awey. ²⁰ Therfor whanne the Lord hath bitake to you also hem, ye schulen do in lijk maner to hem, as Y comaundide to you.
