Deuteronomy 11
1 So have love for the Lord your God, and give him worship, and keep his laws and his decisions and his orders at all times.
Ama itaque Dominum Deum tuum, et observa praecepta eius et ceremonias, iudicia atque mandata omni tempore.
2 And be certain in your minds this day; for these words are not said to your children, who have had no experience of the training of the Lord your God, and who have not seen his great power or his strong hand and his stretched-out arm,
Cognoscite hodie quae ignorant filii vestri, qui non viderunt disciplinam Domini Dei vestri, magnalia eius et robustam manum, extentumque brachium,
3 Or his signs and wonders which he did in Egypt, to Pharaoh, king of Egypt, and all his land;
signa et opera quae fecit in medio Aegypti Pharaoni regi, et universae terrae eius,
4 And what he did to the army of Egypt, to their horses and their war-carriages; how he made the waters of the Red Sea come up over them when they went after you, and how the Lord put an end to them even to this day;
omnique exercitui Aegyptiorum, et equis ac curribus: quo modo operuerint eos aquae maris rubri, cum vos persequerentur, et deleverit eos Dominus usque in praesentem diem:
5 And what he did for you in the waste land, till you came to this place;
vobisque quae fecerit in solitudine donec veniretis ad hunc locum:
6 And what he did to Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab, the son of Reuben; when they went down into the open mouth of the earth, with their families and their tents and every living thing which was theirs, before the eyes of all Israel:
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 Israel.
7 But your eyes have seen all the great works of the Lord which he has done.
Oculi vestri viderunt opera Domini magna quae fecit,
8 So keep all the orders which I give you today, so that you may be strong, and go in and take the land which is to be your heritage;
ut custodiatis universa mandata illius, quae ego hodie praecipio vobis, et possitis introire, et possidere Terram, ad quam ingredimini,
9 And that your days may be long in the land which the Lord gave by an oath to your fathers and to their seed after them, a land flowing with milk and honey.
multoque in ea vivatis tempore: quam sub iuramento pollicitus est Dominus patribus vestris, et semini eorum, lacte et melle manantem.
10 For the land where you are going is not like the land of Egypt from which you have come, where you put in your seeds, watering them with your foot, like a planted garden:
Terra enim, ad quam ingredieris possidendam, non est sicut Terra Aegypti, de qua existi, ubi iacto semine in hortorum morem aquae ducuntur irriguae:
11 But the land where you are going is a land of hills and valleys, drinking in the rain of heaven:
sed montuosa est et campestris, de caelo expectans pluvias.
12 A land cared for by the Lord your God: the eyes of the Lord your God are on it at all times from one end of the year to the other.
quam Dominus Deus tuus semper invisit, et oculi illius in ea sunt a principio anni usque ad finem eius.
13 And it will be that if you truly give ear to the orders which I put before you this day, loving the Lord your God and worshipping him with all your heart and all your soul,
Si ergo obedieritis mandatis meis, quae ego hodie praecipio vobis, ut diligatis Dominum Deum vestrum, et serviatis ei in toto corde vestro, et in tota anima vestra:
14 Then I will send rain on your land at the right time, the early rains and the late rains, so that you may get in your grain and your wine and your oil.
dabit pluviam terrae vestrae temporaneam et serotinam, ut colligatis frumentum, et vinum, et oleum,
15 And I will give grass in your fields for your cattle, so that you may have food in full measure.
foenumque ex agris ad pascenda iumenta, et ut ipsi comedatis ac saturemini.
16 But take care that your hearts are not turned to false ways so that you become servants and worshippers of other gods;
Cavete ne forte decipiatur cor vestrum, et recedatis a Domino, serviatisque diis alienis, et adoretis eos:
17 For if you do so, the wrath of the Lord will be burning against you, and the heaven will be shut up so that there is no rain and the land will give no fruit; and in a very little time you will be cut off from the good land which the Lord is giving you.
iratusque Dominus claudat caelum, et pluviae non descendant, nec terra det germen suum, pereatisque velociter de Terra optima, quam Dominus daturus est vobis.
18 So keep these words deep in your heart and in your soul, and have them fixed on your hand for a sign and marked on your brow;
Ponite haec verba mea in cordibus et in animis vestris, et suspendite ea pro signo in manibus, et inter oculos vestros collocate.
19 Teaching them to your children, and talking of them when you are at rest in your house or walking by the way, when you go to sleep and when you get up:
Docete filios vestros ut illa meditentur, quando sederis in domo tua, et ambulaveris in via, et accubueris atque surrexeris.
20 Writing them on the pillars of your houses and over the doors of your towns:
Scribes ea super postes et ianuas domus tuae:
21 So that your days, and the days of your children, may be long in the land which the Lord by his oath to your fathers said he would give them, like the days of the eternal heavens.
ut multiplicentur dies tui, et filiorum tuorum in Terra, quam iuravit Dominus patribus tuis, ut daret eis quamdiu caelum imminet terrae.
22 For if you take care to keep all the orders which I give you, and to do them; loving the Lord your God and walking in all his ways and being true to him:
Si enim custodieritis mandata quae ego praecipio vobis, et feceritis ea, ut diligatis Dominum Deum vestrum, et ambuletis in omnibus viis eius, adhaerentes ei,
23 Then the Lord will send these nations in flight before you, and you will take the lands of nations greater and stronger than yourselves.
disperdet Dominus omnes gentes istas ante faciem vestram, et possidebitis eas, quae maiores et fortiores vobis sunt.
24 Every place where you put your foot will be yours: from the waste land and Lebanon, from the river, the river Euphrates as far as the Great Sea, will be the limits of your land.
Omnis locus, quem calcaverit pes vester, vester erit. A deserto, et a Libano, a flumine magno Euphrate usque ad mare occidentale erunt termini vestri.
25 All people will give way before you: for the Lord your God will put the fear of you on all the land through which you go, as he has said.
Nullus stabit contra vos: terrorem vestrum et formidinem dabit Dominus Deus vester super omnem terram quam calcaturi estis, sicut locutus est vobis.
26 Today I put before you a blessing and a curse:
En propono in conspectu vestro hodie benedictionem et maledictionem:
27 The blessing if you give ear to the orders of the Lord your God, which I give you this day:
benedictionem, si obedieritis mandatis Domini Dei vestri, quae ego hodie praecipio vobis:
28 And the curse if you do not give ear to the orders of the Lord your God, but let yourselves be turned from the way which I have put before you this day, and go after other gods which are not yours.
maledictionem, si non obedieritis mandatis Domini Dei vestri, sed recesseritis de via, quam ego nunc ostendo vobis, et ambulaveritis post deos alienos, quos ignoratis.
29 And when the Lord your God has taken you into the land of your heritage, you are to put the blessing on Mount Gerizim and the curse on Mount Ebal.
Cum vero introduxerit te Dominus Deus tuus in Terram, ad quam pergis habitandam, pones benedictionem super montem Garizim, maledictionem super montem Hebal:
30 Are they not on the other side of Jordan, looking west, in the land of the Canaanites living in the Arabah, opposite Gilgal, by the holy tree of Moreh?
qui sunt trans Iordanem post viam, quae vergit ad solis occubitum in Terra Chananaei, qui habitat in campestribus contra Galgalam, quae est iuxta vallem tendentem et intrantem procul.
31 For you are about to go over Jordan to take the heritage which the Lord your God is giving you, and it will be your resting-place.
Vos enim transibitis Iordanem, ut possideatis Terram, quam Dominus Deus vester daturus est vobis, ut habeatis et possideatis illam.
32 And you are to take care to keep all the laws and the decisions which I put before you today.
Videte ergo ut impleatis ceremonias atque iudicia, quae ego hodie ponam in conspectu vestro.
