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.

Louis Segond 1910

pour aimer l'Eternel, ton Dieu, pour obéir à sa voix, et pour t'attacher à lui: car de cela dépendent ta vie et la prolongation de tes jours, et c'est ainsi que tu pourras demeurer dans le pays que l'Eternel a juré de donner à tes pères, Abraham, Isaac et Jacob.

KJV
