Deuteronomy 9
1 Hear, O Israel: Thou are to pass over the Jordan this day, to go in to dispossess nations greater and mightier than thyself, cities great and fortified up to heaven,
Audi Israel: Tu transgredieris hodie Iordanem, ut possideas nationes maximas et fortiores te, civitates ingentes, et ad caelum usque muratas,
2 a people great and tall, the sons of the Anakim, whom thou know, and of whom thou have heard say, Who can stand before the sons of Anak?
populum magnum atque sublimem, filios Enacim, quos ipse vidisti, et audisti, quibus nullus potest ex adverso resistere.
3 Know therefore this day, that Jehovah thy God is he who goes over before thee as a devouring fire. He will destroy them, and he will bring them down before thee. So thou shall drive them out, and make them to perish quickly, as Jehovah has spoken to thee.
Scies ergo hodie quod Dominus Deus tuus ipse transibit ante te, ignis devorans atque consumens, qui conterat eos et deleat atque disperdat ante faciem tuam velociter, sicut locutus est tibi.
4 Do not speak thou in thy heart, after Jehovah thy God has thrust them out from before thee, saying, For my righteousness Jehovah has brought me in to possess this land. Whereas for the wickedness of these nations Jehovah drives them out from before thee.
Ne dicas in corde tuo, cum deleverit eos Dominus Deus tuus in conspectu tuo: Propter iustitiam meam introduxit me Dominus ut terram hanc possiderem, cum propter impietates suas istae deletae sint nationes.
5 Not for thy righteousness, or for the uprightness of thy heart, do thou go in to possess their land, but for the wickedness of these nations Jehovah thy God drives them out from before thee, and that he may establish the word which Jehovah swore to thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob.
Neque enim propter iustitias tuas, et aequitatem cordis tui ingredieris ut possideas terras earum: sed quia illae egerunt impie, introeunte te deletae sunt: et ut compleret verbum suum Dominus, quod sub iuramento pollicitus est patribus tuis Abraham, Isaac, et Iacob.
6 Know therefore, that Jehovah thy God does not give thee this good land to possess it for thy righteousness, for thou are a stiff-necked people.
scito ergo quod non propter iustitias tuas Dominus Deus tuus dederit tibi terram hanc optimam in possessionem, cum durissimae cervicis sis populus.
7 Remember, do not thou forget how thou provoked Jehovah thy God to wrath in the wilderness. From the day that thou went forth out of the land of Egypt, until ye came to this place, ye have been rebellious against Jehovah.
Memento, et ne obliviscaris quomodo ad iracundiam provocaveris Dominum Deum tuum in solitudine. Ex eo die, quo egressus es ex Aegypto usque ad locum istum, semper adversum Dominum contendisti.
8 Also in Horeb ye provoked Jehovah to wrath, and Jehovah was angry with you to destroy you.
Nam et in Horeb provocasti eum, et iratus delere te voluit,
9 When I was gone up onto the mount to receive the tablets of stone, even the tablets of the covenant which Jehovah made with you, then I abode on the mount forty days and forty nights. I neither ate bread nor drank water.
quando ascendi in montem, ut acciperem tabulas lapideas, pacti quod pepigit vobiscum Deus: et perseveravi in monte quadraginta diebus ac noctibus, panem non comedens, et aquam non bibens.
10 And Jehovah delivered to me the two tablets of stone written with the finger of God. And on them was according to all the words, which Jehovah spoke with you in the mount out of the midst of the fire in the day of the assembly.
Deditque mihi Dominus duas tabulas lapideas scriptas digito Dei, et continentes omnia verba quae vobis locutus est in monte de medio ignis, quando concio populi congregata est.
11 And it came to pass, at the end of forty days and forty nights, that Jehovah gave me the two tablets of stone, even the tablets of the covenant.
Cumque transissent quadraginta dies, et totidem noctes, dedit mihi Dominus duas tabulas lapideas, tabulas foederis,
12 And Jehovah said to me, Arise, get thee down quickly from here, for thy people that thou have brought forth out of Egypt have corrupted themselves. They have quickly turned aside out of the way which I commanded them. They have made them a molten image.
dixitque mihi: Surge, et descende hinc cito: quia populus tuus, quem eduxisti de Aegypto, deseruerunt velociter viam, quam demonstrasti eis, feceruntque sibi conflatile.
13 Furthermore Jehovah spoke to me, saying, I have seen this people, and, behold, it is a stiff-necked people.
Rursumque ait Dominus ad me: Cerno quod populus iste durae cervicis sit:
14 Let me alone, that I may destroy them, and blot out their name from under heaven, and I will make of thee a nation mightier and greater than they.
dimitte me ut conteram eum, et deleam nomen eius de sub caelo, et constituam te super Gentem, quae hac maior et fortior sit.
15 So I turned and came down from the mount, and the mount was burning with fire. And the two tablets of the covenant were in my two hands.
Cumque de monte ardente descenderem, et duas tabulas foederis utraque tenerem manu,
16 And I looked, and, behold, ye had sinned against Jehovah your God. Ye had made you a molten calf. Ye had turned aside quickly out of the way which Jehovah had commanded you.
vidissemque vos peccasse Domino Deo vestro, et fecisse vobis vitulum conflatilem, ac deseruisse velociter viam eius, quam vobis ostenderat:
17 And I took hold of the two tablets, and cast them out of my two hands, and broke them before your eyes.
proieci tabulas de manibus meis, confregique eas in conspectu vestro.
18 And I fell down before Jehovah, as at the first, forty days and forty nights. I neither ate bread nor drank water, because of all your sin which ye sinned, in doing that which was evil in the sight of Jehovah, to provoke him to anger.
Et procidi ante Dominum sicut prius, quadraginta diebus et noctibus panem non comedens, et aquam non bibens propter omnia peccata vestra quae gessistis contra Dominum, et eum ad iracundiam provocastis:
19 For I was afraid of the anger and hot displeasure with which Jehovah was angry against you to destroy you. But Jehovah hearkened to me that time also.
timui enim indignationem et iram illius, qua adversum vos concitatus, delere vos voluit. Et exaudivit me Dominus etiam hac vice.
20 And Jehovah was very angry with Aaron to destroy him. And I prayed for Aaron also at the same time.
Adversum Aaron quoque vehementer iratus, voluit eum conterere, et pro illo similiter deprecatus sum.
21 And I took your sin, the calf which ye had made, and burnt it with fire, and stamped it, grinding it very small, until it was as fine as dust. And I cast the dust of it into the brook that descended out of the mount.
Peccatum autem vestrum quod feceratis, id est vitulum, arripiens, igne combussi, et in frusta comminuens, omninoque in pulverem redigens, proieci in torrentem, qui de monte descendit.
22 And at Taberah, and at Massah, and at Kibroth-hattaavah, ye provoked Jehovah to wrath.
In incendio quoque et in tentatione, et in Sepulchris concupiscentiae provocastis Dominum:
23 And when Jehovah sent you from Kadesh-barnea, saying, Go up and possess the land which I have given you, then ye rebelled against the commandment of Jehovah your God, and ye did not believe him, nor hearken to his voice.
et quando misit vos de Cadesbarne, dicens: Ascendite, et possidete Terram, quam dedi vobis, et contempsistis imperium Domini Dei vestri, et non credidistis ei, neque vocem eius audire voluistis:
24 Ye have been rebellious against Jehovah from the day that I knew you.
sed semper fuistis rebelles a die qua nosse vos coepi.
25 So I fell down before Jehovah the forty days and forty nights that I fell down, because Jehovah had said he would destroy you.
Et iacui coram Domino quadraginta diebus ac noctibus, quibus eum suppliciter deprecabar, ne deleret vos ut fuerat comminatus:
26 And I prayed to Jehovah, and said, O lord Jehovah, destroy not thy people and thine inheritance, that thou have redeemed through thy greatness, that thou have brought forth out of Egypt with a mighty hand.
et orans dixi: Domine Deus, ne disperdas populum tuum, et hereditatem tuam, quam redemisti in magnitudine tua, quos eduxisti de Aegypto in manu forti.
27 Remember thy servants, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Look not to the stubbornness of this people, nor to their profaneness, nor to their sin,
Recordare servorum tuorum Abraham, Isaac, et Iacob: ne aspicias duritiam populi huius, et impietatem atque peccatum:
28 lest the land from where thou brought us out say, Because Jehovah was not able to bring them into the land which he promised to them, and because he hated them, he has brought them out to kill them in the wilderness.
ne forte dicant habitatores terrae, de qua eduxisti nos: Non poterat Dominus introducere eos in Terram, quam pollicitus est eis, et oderat illos: idcirco eduxit, ut interficeret eos in solitudine.
29 Yet they are thy people and thine inheritance, which thou brought out by thy great power and by thine outstretched arm.
qui sunt populus tuus et hereditas tua, quos eduxisti in fortitudine tua magna, et in brachio tuo extento.
