New International Version NIV
33 They feared the LORD, and served their own gods, after the manner of the nations whom they carried away from thence.
33
They worshiped the LORD, but they also served their own gods in accordance with the customs of the nations from which they had been brought.
34 To this day they do after the former manners: they fear not the LORD, neither do they after their statutes, or after their ordinances, or after the law and commandment which the LORD commanded the children of Jacob, whom he named Israel;
34
To this day they persist in their former practices. They neither worship the LORD nor adhere to the decrees and regulations, the laws and commands that the LORD gave the descendants of Jacob, whom he named Israel.
35 With whom the LORD had made a covenant, and charged them, saying, Ye shall not fear other gods, nor bow yourselves to them, nor serve them, nor sacrifice to them:
35
When the LORD made a covenant with the Israelites, he commanded them: “Do not worship any other gods or bow down to them, serve them or sacrifice to them.
36 But the LORD, who brought you out of the land of Egypt with great power and an out-stretched arm, him shall ye fear, and him shall ye worship, and to him shall ye do sacrifice.
36
But the LORD, who brought you up out of Egypt with mighty power and outstretched arm, is the one you must worship. To him you shall bow down and to him offer sacrifices.
37 And the statutes, and the ordinances, and the law, and the commandment which he wrote for you, ye shall observe to do for evermore; and ye shall not fear other gods.
37
You must always be careful to keep the decrees and regulations, the laws and commands he wrote for you. Do not worship other gods.
38 And the covenant that I have made with you ye shall not forget; neither shall ye fear other gods.
38
Do not forget the covenant I have made with you, and do not worship other gods.
39 But the LORD your God ye shall fear; and he will deliver you out of the hand of all your enemies.
39
Rather, worship the LORD your God; it is he who will deliver you from the hand of all your enemies.”
40 Yet they did not hearken, but they did after their former manner.
40
They would not listen, however, but persisted in their former practices.
41 So these nations feared the LORD, and served their graven images, both their children, and their children's children: as did their fathers, so do they to this day.
41
Even while these people were worshiping the LORD, they were serving their idols. To this day their children and grandchildren continue to do as their ancestors did.
