| [1]Ama itaque Dominum Deum tuum, et observa præcepta ejus et cæremonias, judicia atque mandata, omni tempore. |
[1]Therefore thou shalt love the Lord thy God, and shalt keep that, which he commandeth to be kept: that is, his ordinances, and his laws, and his commandments alway. |
| [2]Cognoscite hodie quæ ignorant filii vestri, qui non viderunt disciplinam Domini Dei vestri, magnalia ejus et robustam manum, extentumque brachium, |
[2]And consider this day ( for I speak not to your children, which have neither known nor seen) the chastisement of the Lord your God, his greatness, his mighty hand, and his stretched out arm, |
| [3]signa et opera quæ fecit in medio Ægypti Pharaoni regi, et universæ terræ ejus, |
[3]And his signs, and his acts, which he did in the midst of Egypt unto Pharaoh the king of Egypt and unto all his land: |
| [4]omnique exercitui Ægyptiorum, et equis ac curribus: quomodo operuerint eos aquæ maris Rubri, cum vos persequerentur, et deleverit eos Dominus usque in præsentem diem: |
[4]And what he did unto the host of the Egyptians, unto their horses, and to their chariots, when he caused the waters of the Red Sea to overflow them, as they pursued after you, and the Lord destroyed them unto this day: |
| [5]vobisque quæ fecerit in solitudine donec veniretis ad hunc locum: |
[5]And what he did unto you in the wilderness, until ye came unto this place: |
| [6]et Dathan atque Abiron filiis Eliab, qui fuit filius Ruben: quos aperto ore suo terra absorbuit, cum domibus et tabernaculis, et universa substantia eorum, quam habebant in medio Israël. |
[6]And what he did unto Dathan and Abiram the sons of Eliab the son of Reuben, when the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed them with their households and their tents, and all their substance that they had in the midst of all Israel. |
| [7]Oculi vestri viderunt opera Domini magna quæ fecit, |
[7]For your eyes have seen all the great acts of the Lord which he did. |
| [8]ut custodiatis universa mandata illius, quæ ego hodie præcipio vobis, et possitis introire, et possidere terram, ad quam ingredimini, |
[8]Therefore shall ye keep all the commandments, which I command you this day, that ye may be strong, and go in and possess the land whither ye go to possess it: |
| [9]multoque in ea vivatis tempore: quam sub juramento pollicitus est Dominus patribus vestris, et semini eorum, lacte et melle manantem. |
[9]Also that ye may prolong your days in the land, which the Lord swear unto your fathers, to give unto them and to their seed, even a land that floweth with milk and honey. |
| [10]Terra enim, ad quam ingrederis possidendam, non est sicut terra Ægypti, de qua existi, ubi jacto semine in hortorum morem aquæ ducuntur irriguæ: |
[10]For the land whither thou goest to possess it, is not as the land of Egypt, from whence ye came, where thou sowest thy seed, and waterest it with thy feet as a garden of herbs: |
| [11]sed montuosa est et campestris, de cælo expectans pluvias, |
[11]But the land whither ye go to possess it, is a land of mountains and valleys, and drinketh water of the rain of heaven. |
| [12]quam Dominus Deus tuus semper invisit, et oculi illius in ea sunt a principio anni usque ad finem ejus. |
[12]This land doth the Lord thy God care for: the eyes of the Lord thy God are always upon it, from the beginning of the year, even unto the end of the year. |
| [13]Si ergo obedieritis mandatis meis, quæ ego hodie præcipio vobis, ut diligatis Dominum Deum vestrum, et serviatis ei in toto corde vestro, et in tota anima vestra: |
[13]If ye shall hearken therefore unto my commandments, which I command you this day, that ye love the Lord your God and serve him with all your heart, and with all your soul, |
| [14]dabit pluviam terræ vestræ temporaneam et serotinam, ut colligatis frumentum, et vinum, et oleum, |
[14]I also will give rain unto your land in due time, the first rain and the latter, that thou mayest gather in thy wheat, and thy wine, and thine oil. |
| [15]fœnumque ex agris ad pascenda jumenta, et ut ipsi comedatis ac saturemini. |
[15]Also I will send grass in thy fields, for thy cattle, that thou mayest eat, and have enough. |
| [16]Cavete ne forte decipiatur cor vestrum, et recedatis a Domino, serviatisque diis alienis, et adoretis eos: |
[16]But beware lest your heart deceive you, and lest ye turn aside, and serve other gods, and worship them, |
| [17]iratusque Dominus claudat cælum, et pluviæ non descendant, nec terra det germen suum, pereatisque velociter de terra optima, quam Dominus daturus est vobis. |
[17]And so the anger of the Lord be kindled against you, and he shut up the heaven, that there be no rain, and that your land yield not her fruit, and ye perish quickly from the good land, which the Lord giveth you. |
| [18]Ponite hæc verba mea in cordibus et in animis vestris, et suspendite ea pro signo in manibus, et inter oculos vestros collocate. |
[18]Therefore shall ye lay up these my words in your heart and in your soul, and bind them for a sign upon your hand, that they may be as a frontlet between your eyes, |
| [19]Docete filios vestros ut illa meditentur: quando sederis in domo tua, et ambulaveris in via, et accubueris atque surrexeris. |
[19]And ye shall teach them your children, speaking of them, when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up. |
| [20]Scribes ea super postes et januas domus tuæ, |
[20]And thou shalt write them upon the posts of thine house, and upon thy gates, |
| [21]ut multiplicentur dies tui, et filiorum tuorum in terra, quam juravit Dominus patribus tuis, ut daret eis quamdiu cælum imminet terræ. |
[21]That your days may be multiplied, and the days of your children, in the land which the Lord swear unto your fathers to give them, as long as the heavens are above the earth. |
| [22]Si enim custodieritis mandata quæ ego præcipio vobis, et feceritis ea, ut diligatis Dominum Deum vestrum, et ambuletis in omnibus viis ejus, adhærentes ei, |
[22]For if ye keep diligently all these commandments, which I command you to do: that is, to love the Lord your God, to walk in all his ways, and to cleave unto him, |
| [23]disperdet Dominus omnes gentes istas ante faciem vestram, et possidebitis eas, quæ majores et fortiores vobis sunt. |
[23]Then will the Lord cast out all these nations before you, and ye shall possess great nations and mightier than you. |
| [24]Omnis locus, quem calcaverit pes vester, vester erit. A deserto, et a Libano, a flumine magno Euphrate usque ad mare occidentale erunt termini vestri. |
[24]All the places whereon the soles of your feet shall tread, shall be yours: your coast shall be from the wilderness and from Lebanon, and from the river, even the river Perath, unto the uttermost sea. |
| [25]Nullus stabit contra vos: terrorem vestrum et formidinem dabit Dominus Deus vester super omnem terram quam calcaturi estis, sicut locutus est vobis. |
[25]No man shall stand against you: for the Lord your God shall cast the fear and dread of you upon all the land that ye shall tread upon, as he hath said unto you. |
| [26]En propono in conspectu vestro hodie benedictionem et maledictionem: |
[26]Behold, I set before you this day a blessing and a curse: |
| [27]benedictionem, si obedieritis mandatis Domini Dei vestri, quæ ego hodie præcipio vobis: |
[27]The blessing, if ye obey the commandments of the Lord your God which I command you this day: |
| [28]maledictionem, si non obedieritis mandatis Domini Dei vestri, sed recesseritis de via, quam ego nunc ostendo vobis, et ambulaveritis post deos alienos, quos ignoratis. |
[28]And the curse, if ye will not obey the commandments of the Lord your God, but turn out of the way, which I command you this day, to go after other gods, which ye have not known. |
| [29]Cum vero introduxerit te Dominus Deus tuus in terram, ad quam pergis habitandam, pones benedictionem super montem Garizim, maledictionem super montem Hebal: |
[29]When the Lord thy God therefore hath brought thee into the land, whither thou goest to possess it, then thou shalt put the blessing upon mount Gerizim, and the curse upon mount Ebal. |
| [30]qui sunt trans Jordanem, post viam quæ vergit ad solis occubitum in terra Chananæi, qui habitat in campestribus contra Galgalam, quæ est juxta vallem tendentem et intrantem procul. |
[30]Are they not beyond Jordan on that part, where the sun goeth down in the land of the Canaanites, which dwell in the plain over against Gilgal, beside the grove of Moreh? |
| [31]Vos enim transibitis Jordanem, ut possideatis terram quam Dominus Deus vester daturus est vobis, ut habeatis et possideatis illam. |
[31]For ye shall pass over Jordan, to go in to possess the land, which the Lord your God giveth you, and ye shall possess it, and dwell therein. |
| [32]Videte ergo ut impleatis cæremonias atque judicia, quæ ego hodie ponam in conspectu vestro. |
[32]Take heed therefore that ye do all the commandments and the laws, which I set before you this day. |
