< Leviticus 26 >
1 “You must not make idols for yourselves or set up a carved image or sacred pillar; you must not place a sculpted stone in your land to bow down to it. For I am the LORD your God.
Ego Dominus Deus vester: non facietis vobis idolum, et sculptile, nec titulos erigetis, nec insignem lapidem ponetis in terra vestra, ut adoretis eum. Ego enim sum Dominus Deus vester.
2 You must keep My Sabbaths and have reverence for My sanctuary. I am the LORD.
Custodite sabbata mea, et pavete ad sanctuarium meum. Ego Dominus.
3 If you follow My statutes and carefully keep My commandments,
Si in præceptis meis ambulaveritis, et mandata mea custodieritis, et feceritis ea, dabo vobis pluvias temporibus suis,
4 I will give you rains in their season, and the land will yield its produce, and the trees of the field will bear their fruit.
et terra gignet germen suum, et pomis arbores replebuntur.
5 Your threshing will continue until the grape harvest, and the grape harvest will continue until sowing time; you will have your fill of food to eat and will dwell securely in your land.
Apprehendet messium tritura vindemiam, et vindemia occupabit sementem: et comedetis panem vestrum in saturitate, et absque pavore habitabitis in terra vestra.
6 And I will give peace to the land, and you will lie down with nothing to fear. I will rid the land of dangerous animals, and no sword will pass through your land.
Dabo pacem in finibus vestris: dormietis, et non erit qui exterreat. Auferam malas bestias, et gladius non transibit terminos vestros.
7 You will pursue your enemies, and they will fall by the sword before you.
Persequemini inimicos vestros, et corruent coram vobis.
8 Five of you will pursue a hundred, and a hundred of you will pursue ten thousand, and your enemies will fall by the sword before you.
Persequentur quinque de vestris centum alienos, et centum de vobis decem millia: cadent inimici vestri gladio in conspectu vestro.
9 I will turn toward you and make you fruitful and multiply you, and I will establish My covenant with you.
Respiciam vos, et crescere faciam: multiplicabimini, et firmabo pactum meum vobiscum.
10 You will still be eating the old supply of grain when you need to clear it out to make room for the new.
Comedetis vetustissima veterum, et vetera novis supervenientibus projicietis.
11 And I will make My dwelling place among you, and My soul will not despise you.
Ponam tabernaculum meum in medio vestri, et non abjiciet vos anima mea.
12 I will walk among you and be your God, and you will be My people.
Ambulabo inter vos, et ero Deus vester, vosque eritis populus meus.
13 I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt so that you would no longer be slaves to the Egyptians. I broke the bars of your yoke and enabled you to walk in uprightness.
Ego Dominus Deus vester, qui eduxi vos de terra Ægyptiorum, ne serviretis eis: et qui confregi catenas cervicum vestrarum, ut incederetis erecti.
14 If, however, you fail to obey Me and to carry out all these commandments,
Quod si non audieritis me, nec feceritis omnia mandata mea,
15 and if you reject My statutes, despise My ordinances, and neglect to carry out all My commandments, and so break My covenant,
si spreveritis leges meas, et judicia mea contempseritis, ut non faciatis ea quæ a me constituta sunt, et ad irritum perducatis pactum meum:
16 then this is what I will do to you: I will bring upon you sudden terror, wasting disease, and fever that will destroy your sight and drain your life. You will sow your seed in vain, because your enemies will eat it.
ego quoque hæc faciam vobis: visitabo vos velociter in egestate, et ardore, qui conficiat oculos vestros, et consumat animas vestras. Frustra seretis sementem, quæ ab hostibus devorabitur.
17 And I will set My face against you, so that you will be defeated by your enemies. Those who hate you will rule over you, and you will flee when no one pursues you.
Ponam faciem meam contra vos, et corruetis coram hostibus vestris, et subjiciemini his qui oderunt vos: fugietis, nemine persequente.
18 And if after all this you will not obey Me, I will proceed to punish you sevenfold for your sins.
Sin autem nec sic obedieritis mihi, addam correptiones vestras septuplum propter peccata vestra,
19 I will break down your stubborn pride and make your sky like iron and your land like bronze,
et conteram superbiam duritiæ vestræ. Daboque vobis cælum desuper sicut ferrum, et terram æneam.
20 and your strength will be spent in vain. For your land will not yield its produce, and the trees of the land will not bear their fruit.
Consumetur incassum labor vester, non proferet terra germen, nec arbores poma præbebunt.
21 If you walk in hostility toward Me and refuse to obey Me, I will multiply your plagues seven times, according to your sins.
Si ambulaveritis ex adverso mihi, nec volueritis audire me, addam plagas vestras in septuplum propter peccata vestra:
22 I will send wild animals against you to rob you of your children, destroy your livestock, and reduce your numbers, until your roads lie desolate.
immittamque in vos bestias agri, quæ consumant vos, et pecora vestra, et ad paucitatem cuncta redigant, desertæque fiant viæ vestræ.
23 And if in spite of these things you do not accept My discipline, but continue to walk in hostility toward Me,
Quod si nec sic volueritis recipere disciplinam, sed ambulaveritis ex adverso mihi:
24 then I will act with hostility toward you, and I will strike you sevenfold for your sins.
ego quoque contra vos adversus incedam, et percutiam vos septies propter peccata vestra,
25 And I will bring a sword against you to execute the vengeance of the covenant. Though you withdraw into your cities, I will send a plague among you, and you will be delivered into the hand of the enemy.
inducamque super vos gladium ultorem fœderis mei. Cumque confugeritis in urbes, mittam pestilentiam in medio vestri, et trademini in manibus hostium,
26 When I cut off your supply of bread, ten women will bake your bread in a single oven and dole out your bread by weight, so that you will eat but not be satisfied.
postquam confregero baculum panis vestri: ita ut decem mulieres in uno clibano coquant panes, et reddant eos ad pondus: et comedetis, et non saturabimini.
27 But if in spite of all this you do not obey Me, but continue to walk in hostility toward Me,
Sin autem nec per hæc audieritis me, sed ambulaveritis contra me:
28 then I will walk in fury against you, and I, even I, will punish you sevenfold for your sins.
et ego incedam adversus vos in furore contrario, et corripiam vos septem plagis propter peccata vestra:
29 You will eat the flesh of your own sons and daughters.
ita ut comedatis carnes filiorum vestrorum et filiarum vestrarum.
30 I will destroy your high places, cut down your incense altars, and heap your lifeless bodies on the lifeless remains of your idols; and My soul will despise you.
Destruam excelsa vestra, et simulacra confringam. Cadetis inter ruinas idolorum vestrorum, et abominabitur vos anima mea,
31 I will reduce your cities to rubble and lay waste your sanctuaries, and I will refuse to smell the pleasing aroma of your sacrifices.
in tantum ut urbes vestras redigam in solitudinem, et deserta faciam sanctuaria vestra, nec recipiam ultra odorem suavissimum.
32 And I will lay waste the land, so that your enemies who dwell in it will be appalled.
Disperdamque terram vestram, et stupebunt super ea inimici vestri, cum habitatores illius fuerint.
33 But I will scatter you among the nations and will draw out a sword after you as your land becomes desolate and your cities are laid waste.
Vos autem dispergam in gentes, et evaginabo post vos gladium, eritque terra vestra deserta, et civitates vestræ dirutæ.
34 Then the land shall enjoy its Sabbaths all the days it lies desolate, while you are in the land of your enemies. At that time the land will rest and enjoy its Sabbaths.
Tunc placebunt terræ sabbata sua cunctis diebus solitudinis suæ: quando fueritis
35 As long as it lies desolate, the land will have the rest it did not receive during the Sabbaths when you lived in it.
in terra hostili, sabbatizabit, et requiescet in sabbatis solitudinis suæ, eo quod non requieverit in sabbatis vestris quando habitabatis in ea.
36 As for those of you who survive, I will send a faintness into their hearts in the lands of their enemies, so that even the sound of a windblown leaf will put them to flight. And they will flee as one flees the sword, and fall when no one pursues them.
Et qui de vobis remanserint, dabo pavorem in cordibus eorum in regionibus hostium, terrebit eos sonitus folii volantis, et ita fugient quasi gladium: cadent, nullo persequente,
37 They will stumble over one another as before the sword, though no one is behind them. So you will not be able to stand against your enemies.
et corruent singuli super fratres suos, quasi bella fugientes, nemo vestrum inimicis audebit resistere.
38 You will perish among the nations, and the land of your enemies will consume you.
Peribitis inter gentes, et hostilis vos terra consumet.
39 Those of you who survive in the lands of your enemies will waste away in their iniquity and will decay in the sins of their fathers.
Quod si et de iis aliqui remanserint, tabescent in iniquitatibus suis, in terra inimicorum suorum, et propter peccata patrum suorum et sua affligentur:
40 But if they will confess their iniquity and that of their fathers in the unfaithfulness that they practiced against Me, by which they have also walked in hostility toward Me—
donec confiteantur iniquitates suas, et majorum suorum, quibus prævaricati sunt in me, et ambulaverunt ex adverso mihi.
41 and I acted with hostility toward them and brought them into the land of their enemies—and if their uncircumcised hearts will be humbled and they will make amends for their iniquity,
Ambulabo igitur et ego contra eos, et inducam illos in terram hostilem, donec erubescat incircumcisa mens eorum: tunc orabunt pro impietatibus suis.
42 then I will remember My covenant with Jacob and My covenant with Isaac and My covenant with Abraham, and I will remember the land.
Et recordabor fœderis mei, quod pepigi cum Jacob, et Isaac, et Abraham. Terræ quoque memor ero:
43 For the land will be abandoned by them, and it will enjoy its Sabbaths by lying desolate without them. And they will pay the penalty for their iniquity, because they rejected My ordinances and abhorred My statutes.
quæ cum relicta fuerit ab eis, complacebit sibi in sabbatis suis, patiens solitudinem propter illos. Ipsi vero rogabunt pro peccatis suis, eo quod abjecerint judicia mea, et leges meas despexerint.
44 Yet in spite of this, when they are in the land of their enemies, I will not reject or despise them so as to destroy them and break My covenant with them; for I am the LORD their God.
Et tamen etiam cum essent in terra hostili, non penitus abjeci eos, neque sic despexi ut consumerentur, et irritum facerent pactum meum cum eis. Ego enim sum Dominus Deus eorum,
45 But for their sake I will remember the covenant with their fathers, whom I brought out of the land of Egypt in the sight of the nations, that I might be their God. I am the LORD.”
et recordabor fœderis mei pristini, quando eduxi eos de terra Ægypti in conspectu gentium, ut essem Deus eorum. Ego Dominus.
46 These are the statutes, ordinances, and laws that the LORD established between Himself and the Israelites through Moses on Mount Sinai.
Hæc sunt judicia atque præcepta et leges quas dedit Dominus inter se et filios Israël in monte Sinai per manum Moysi.
