< Deuteronomy 29 >
1 These are the words of the covenant that the LORD commanded Moses to make with the Israelites in the land of Moab, in addition to the covenant He had made with them at Horeb.
haec sunt verba foederis quod praecepit Dominus Mosi ut feriret cum filiis Israhel in terra Moab praeter illud foedus quod cum eis pepigit in Horeb
2 Moses summoned all Israel and proclaimed to them, “You have seen with your own eyes everything the LORD did in Egypt to Pharaoh, to all his officials, and to all his land.
vocavitque Moses omnem Israhelem et dixit ad eos vos vidistis universa quae fecit Dominus coram vobis in terra Aegypti Pharaoni et omnibus servis eius universaeque terrae illius
3 You saw with your own eyes the great trials, and those miraculous signs and wonders.
temptationes magnas quas viderunt oculi tui signa illa portentaque ingentia
4 Yet to this day the LORD has not given you a mind to understand, eyes to see, or ears to hear.
et non dedit Dominus vobis cor intellegens et oculos videntes et aures quae possint audire usque in praesentem diem
5 For forty years I led you in the wilderness, yet your clothes and sandals did not wear out.
adduxi vos quadraginta annis per desertum non sunt adtrita vestimenta vestra nec calciamenta pedum tuorum vetustate consumpta sunt
6 You ate no bread and drank no wine or strong drink, so that you might know that I am the LORD your God.
panem non comedistis vinum et siceram non bibistis ut sciretis quia ego sum Dominus Deus vester
7 When you reached this place, Sihon king of Heshbon and Og king of Bashan came out against us in battle, but we defeated them.
et venistis ad locum hunc egressusque est Seon rex Esebon et Og rex Basan occurrens nobis ad pugnam et percussimus eos
8 We took their land and gave it as an inheritance to the Reubenites, the Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manasseh.
et tulimus terram eorum ac tradidimus possidendam Ruben et Gad et dimidiae tribui Manasse
9 So keep and follow the words of this covenant, that you may prosper in all you do.
custodite ergo verba pacti huius et implete ea ut intellegatis universa quae facitis
10 All of you are standing today before the LORD your God—you leaders of tribes, elders, officials, and all the men of Israel,
vos statis hodie cuncti coram Domino Deo vestro principes vestri ac tribus et maiores natu atque doctores omnis populus Israhel
11 your children and wives, and the foreigners in your camps who cut your wood and draw your water—
liberi et uxores vestrae et advena qui tecum moratur in castris exceptis lignorum caesoribus et his qui conportant aquas
12 so that you may enter into the covenant of the LORD your God, which He is making with you today, and into His oath,
ut transeas in foedere Domini Dei tui et in iureiurando quod hodie Dominus Deus tuus percutit tecum
13 and so that He may establish you today as His people, and He may be your God as He promised you and as He swore to your fathers, to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
ut suscitet te sibi in populum et ipse sit Deus tuus sicut locutus est tibi et sicut iuravit patribus tuis Abraham Isaac et Iacob
14 I am making this covenant and this oath not only with you,
nec vobis solis ego hoc foedus ferio et haec iuramenta confirmo
15 but also with those who are standing here with us today in the presence of the LORD our God, as well as with those who are not here today.
sed cunctis praesentibus et absentibus
16 For you yourselves know how we lived in the land of Egypt and how we passed through the nations on the way here.
vos enim nostis ut habitaverimus in terra Aegypti et quomodo transierimus per medium nationum quas transeuntes
17 You saw the abominations and idols among them made of wood and stone, of silver and gold.
vidistis abominationes et sordes id est idola eorum lignum et lapidem argentum et aurum quae colebant
18 Make sure there is no man or woman, clan or tribe among you today whose heart turns away from the LORD our God to go and worship the gods of those nations. Make sure there is no root among you that bears such poisonous and bitter fruit,
ne forte sit inter vos vir aut mulier familia aut tribus cuius cor aversum est hodie a Domino Deo vestro ut vadat et serviat diis illarum gentium et sit inter vos radix germinans fel et amaritudinem
19 because when such a person hears the words of this oath, he invokes a blessing on himself, saying, ‘I will have peace, even though I walk in the stubbornness of my own heart.’ This will bring disaster on the watered land as well as the dry.
cumque audierit verba iuramenti huius benedicat sibi in corde suo dicens pax erit mihi et ambulabo in pravitate cordis mei et adsumat ebria sitientem
20 The LORD will never be willing to forgive him. Instead, His anger and jealousy will burn against that man, and every curse written in this book will fall upon him. The LORD will blot out his name from under heaven
et Dominus non ignoscat ei sed tunc quam maxime furor eius fumet et zelus contra hominem illum et sedeant super eo omnia maledicta quae scripta sunt in hoc volumine et deleat nomen eius sub caelo
21 and single him out from all the tribes of Israel for disaster, according to all the curses of the covenant written in this Book of the Law.
et consumat eum in perditionem ex omnibus tribubus Israhel iuxta maledictiones quae in libro legis huius ac foederis continentur
22 Then the generation to come—your sons who follow you and the foreigner who comes from a distant land—will see the plagues of the land and the sicknesses the LORD has inflicted on it.
dicetque sequens generatio et filii qui nascentur deinceps et peregrini qui de longe venerint videntes plagas terrae illius et infirmitates quibus eam adflixerit Dominus
23 All its soil will be a burning waste of sulfur and salt, unsown and unproductive, with no plant growing on it, just like the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah, Admah and Zeboiim, which the LORD overthrew in His fierce anger.
sulphure et salis ardore conburens ita ut ultra non seratur nec virens quippiam germinet in exemplum subversionis Sodomae et Gomorrae Adamae et Seboim quas subvertit Dominus in ira et furore suo
24 So all the nations will ask, ‘Why has the LORD done such a thing to this land? Why this great outburst of anger?’
et dicent omnes gentes quare sic fecit Dominus terrae huic quae est haec ira furoris eius inmensa
25 And the people will answer, ‘It is because they abandoned the covenant of the LORD, the God of their fathers, which He made with them when He brought them out of the land of Egypt.
et respondebunt quia dereliquerunt pactum Domini quod pepigit cum patribus eorum quando eduxit eos de terra Aegypti
26 They went and served other gods, and they worshiped gods they had not known—gods that the LORD had not given to them.
et servierunt diis alienis et adoraverunt eos quos nesciebant et quibus non fuerant adtributi
27 Therefore the anger of the LORD burned against this land, and He brought upon it every curse written in this book.
idcirco iratus est furor Domini contra terram istam ut induceret super eam omnia maledicta quae in hoc volumine scripta sunt
28 The LORD uprooted them from their land in His anger, rage, and great wrath, and He cast them into another land, where they are today.’
et eiecit eos de terra sua in ira et furore et indignatione maxima proiecitque in terram alienam sicut hodie conprobatur
29 The secret things belong to the LORD our God, but the things revealed belong to us and to our children forever, so that we may follow all the words of this law.
abscondita Domino Deo nostro quae manifesta sunt nobis et filiis nostris usque in aeternum ut faciamus universa legis huius
