Deuteronomy 8
1 Take care to keep all the orders which I give you today, so that you may have life and be increased and go in and take as a heritage the land which the Lord, by his oath to your fathers, undertook to give you.
omne mandatum quod ego praecipio tibi hodie cave diligenter ut facias ut possitis vivere et multiplicemini ingressique possideatis terram pro qua iuravit Dominus patribus vestris
2 And keep in mind the way by which the Lord your God has taken you through the waste land these forty years, so that he might make low your pride and put you to the test, to see what was in your heart and if you would keep his orders or not.
et recordaberis cuncti itineris per quod adduxit te Dominus Deus tuus quadraginta annis per desertum ut adfligeret te atque temptaret et nota fierent quae in tuo animo versabantur utrum custodires mandata illius an non
3 And he made low your pride and let you be without food and gave you manna for your food, a thing new to you, which your fathers never saw; so that he might make it clear to you that bread is not man's only need, but his life is in every word which comes out of the mouth of the Lord.
adflixit te penuria et dedit tibi cibum manna quem ignorabas tu et patres tui ut ostenderet tibi quod non in solo pane vivat homo sed in omni verbo quod egreditur ex ore Domini
4 Through all these forty years your clothing did not get old or your feet become tired.
vestimentum tuum quo operiebaris nequaquam vetustate defecit et pes tuus non est subtritus en quadragesimus annus est
5 Keep in mind this thought, that as a son is trained by his father, so you have been trained by the Lord your God.
ut recogites in corde tuo quia sicut erudit homo filium suum sic Dominus Deus tuus erudivit te
6 Then keep the orders of the Lord your God, fearing him and walking in his ways.
ut custodias mandata Domini Dei tui et ambules in viis eius et timeas eum
7 For the Lord your God is guiding you into a good land, a land of water-springs, of fountains, and deep streams flowing out from the valleys and the hills;
Dominus enim Deus tuus introducet te in terram bonam terram rivorum aquarumque et fontium in cuius campis et montibus erumpunt fluviorum abyssi
8 A land of grain and vines and fig-trees and fair fruits; a land of oil-giving olive-trees and honey;
terram frumenti hordei vinearum in qua ficus et mala granata et oliveta nascuntur terram olei ac mellis
9 Where there will be bread for you in full measure and you will be in need of nothing; a land where the very stones are iron and from whose hills you may get copper.
ubi absque ulla penuria comedes panem tuum et rerum omnium abundantia perfrueris cuius lapides ferrum sunt et de montibus eius aeris metalla fodiuntur
10 And you will have food enough and be full, praising the Lord your God for the good land he has given you.
ut cum comederis et satiatus fueris benedicas Domino Deo tuo pro terra optima quam dedit tibi
11 Then take care that you are not turned away from the Lord your God and from keeping his orders and decisions and laws which I give you this day:
observa et cave nequando obliviscaris Domini Dei tui et neglegas mandata eius atque iudicia et caerimonias quas ego praecipio tibi hodie
12 And when you have taken food and are full, and have made fair houses for yourselves and are living in them;
ne postquam comederis et satiatus domos pulchras aedificaveris et habitaveris in eis
13 And when your herds and your flocks are increased, and your stores of silver and gold, and you have wealth of every sort;
habuerisque armenta et ovium greges argenti et auri cunctarumque rerum copiam
14 Take care that your hearts are not lifted up in pride, giving no thought to the Lord your God who took you out of the land of Egypt, out of the prison-house;
elevetur cor tuum et non reminiscaris Domini Dei tui qui eduxit te de terra Aegypti de domo servitutis
15 Who was your guide through that great and cruel waste, where there were poison-snakes and scorpions and a dry land without water; who made water come out of the hard rock for you;
et ductor tuus fuit in solitudine magna atque terribili in qua erat serpens flatu adurens et scorpio ac dipsas et nullae omnino aquae qui eduxit rivos de petra durissima
16 Who gave you manna for your food in the waste land, a food which your fathers had never seen; so that your pride might be broken and your hearts tested for your good in the end;
et cibavit te manna in solitudine quod nescierunt patres tui et postquam adflixit ac probavit ad extremum misertus est tui
17 Say not then, in your hearts, My power and the strength of my hands have got me this wealth.
ne diceres in corde tuo fortitudo mea et robur manus meae haec mihi omnia praestiterunt
18 But keep in mind the Lord your God: for it is he who gives you the power to get wealth, so that he may give effect to the agreement which he made by his oath with your fathers, as at this day.
sed recorderis Domini Dei tui quod ipse tibi vires praebuerit ut impleret pactum suum super quo iuravit patribus tuis sicut praesens indicat dies
19 And it is certain that if at any time you are turned away from the Lord your God, and go after other gods, to be their servants and to give them worship, destruction will overtake you.
sin autem oblitus Domini Dei tui secutus fueris alienos deos coluerisque illos et adoraveris ecce nunc praedico tibi quod omnino dispereas
20 Like the nations which the Lord is cutting off before you, so you will be cut off; because you would not give ear to the voice of the Lord your God.
sicut gentes quas delevit Dominus in introitu tuo ita et vos peribitis si inoboedientes fueritis voci Domini Dei vestri
