Deuteronomy 11
1 “And so, love the Lord your God, and observe his precepts and ceremonies, his judgments and commandments, at all times.
ama itaque Dominum Deum tuum et observa praecepta eius et caerimonias iudicia atque mandata omni tempore
2 Acknowledge, on this day, the things that your sons did not know. For they did not see the chastisements of the Lord your God, his great acts, and powerful hand, and outstretched arm,
cognoscite hodie quae ignorant filii vestri qui non viderunt disciplinam Domini Dei vestri magnalia eius et robustam manum extentumque brachium
3 the signs and works that he did in the midst of Egypt, to Pharaoh, the king, and to his entire land,
signa et opera quae fecit in medio Aegypti Pharaoni regi et universae terrae eius
4 and to the entire army of the Egyptians, and to their horses and chariots: how the waters of the Red Sea covered them as they were pursuing you, and how the Lord wiped them away, even to the present day;
omnique exercitui Aegyptiorum et equis ac curribus quomodo operuerint eos aquae Rubri maris cum vos persequerentur et deleverit eos Dominus usque in praesentem diem
5 and the things that he accomplished for you in the wilderness, until you arrived at this place;
vobisque quae fecerit in solitudine donec veniretis ad hunc locum
6 and to Dathan and Abiram, sons of Eliab, who was the son of Reuben, those whom the earth, opening its mouth, engulfed with their households and tents, and with their entire substance which they had in the midst of Israel.
et Dathan atque Abiram filiis Heliab qui fuit filius Ruben quos aperto ore suo terra absorbuit cum domibus et tabernaculis et universa substantia eorum quam habebant in medio Israhelis
7 Your eyes have seen all the great works of the Lord, which he has accomplished,
oculi vestri viderunt omnia opera Domini magna quae fecit
8 so that you would keep all his commandments, which I entrust to you this day, and so that you would be able to enter and possess the land, toward which you are advancing,
ut custodiatis universa mandata illius quae ego hodie praecipio vobis et possitis introire et possidere terram ad quam ingredimini
9 and so that you may live, for a long time, in the land which the Lord promised under oath to your fathers, and to their offspring, 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, which you shall enter and possess, is not like the land of Egypt, from which you departed, where, when seed has been sown, waters are brought in by irrigation, in the manner of gardens.
terra enim ad quam ingredieris possidendam non est sicut terra Aegypti de qua existi ubi iacto semine in hortorum morem aquae ducuntur inriguae
11 Rather, it has mountainous regions and plains, which lay waiting for rain from heaven.
sed montuosa est et campestris de caelo expectans pluvias
12 And the Lord your God always visits it, and his eyes are upon it, from the beginning of the year, all the way to its end.
quam Dominus Deus tuus semper invisit et oculi illius in ea sunt a principio anni usque ad finem eius
13 So then, if you obey my commandments, which I am instructing to you this day, so that you love the Lord your God, and serve him with your whole heart and your whole soul,
si ergo oboedieritis mandatis meis quae hodie praecipio vobis ut diligatis Dominum Deum vestrum et serviatis ei in toto corde vestro et in tota anima vestra
14 he will give to your land the early rain and the late rain, so that you may gather your grain, and your wine, and your oil,
dabo pluviam terrae vestrae temporivam et serotinam ut colligatis frumentum et vinum et oleum
15 and your hay from the fields in order to feed your cattle, and so that you yourselves may eat and be satisfied.
faenum ex agris ad pascenda iumenta et ut ipsi comedatis ac saturemini
16 Be careful, lest perhaps your heart may be deceived, and you might withdraw from the Lord, and serve strange gods, and adore them.
cavete ne forte decipiatur cor vestrum et recedatis a Domino serviatisque diis alienis et adoretis eos
17 And the Lord, becoming angry, might close up heaven, so that the rain would not descend, nor would the earth produce her seedlings, and then you would quickly perish from the excellent land, which the Lord will give to 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 Place these words of mine in your hearts and minds, and hang them as a sign on your hands, and arrange them between your eyes.
ponite haec verba mea in cordibus et in animis vestris et suspendite ea pro signo in manibus et inter vestros oculos conlocate
19 Teach your sons to meditate on them, when you sit in your house, and when you walk along the way, and when you lie down or rise up.
docete filios vestros ut illa meditentur quando sederis in domo tua et ambulaveris in via et accubueris atque surrexeris
20 You shall write them upon the doorposts and the gates of your house,
scribes ea super postes et ianuas domus tuae
21 so that your days may be multiplied, and the days of your sons, in the land which the Lord swore to your fathers, that he would give it to them for as long as heaven is suspended above the earth.
ut multiplicentur dies tui et filiorum tuorum in terra quam iuravit Dominus patribus tuis ut daret eis quamdiu caelum inminet terrae
22 For if you keep the commandments which I am entrusting to you, and if you do them, so that you love the Lord your God, and walk in all his ways, clinging to him,
si enim custodieritis mandata quae ego praecipio vobis et feceritis ea ut diligatis Dominum Deum vestrum et ambuletis in omnibus viis eius adherentes ei
23 the Lord will scatter all these nations before your face, and you shall possess them, though they are greater and stronger than you.
disperdet Dominus omnes gentes istas ante faciem vestram et possidebitis eas quae maiores et fortiores vobis sunt
24 Every place upon which your foot shall tread will be yours. From the desert, and from Lebanon, from the great river Euphrates, as far as the western sea, shall be your borders.
omnis locus quem calcaverit pes vester vester erit a deserto et Libano a flumine magno Eufraten usque ad mare occidentale erunt termini vestri
25 No one will stand against you. The Lord your God will spread the terror and dread of you over all the land upon which you shall tread, just as he has spoken to you.
nullus stabit contra vos terrorem vestrum et formidinem dabit Dominus Deus vester super omnem terram quam calcaturi estis sicut locutus est vobis
26 Behold, I am setting forth in your sight today a blessing and a curse.
en propono in conspectu vestro hodie benedictionem et maledictionem
27 It will be a blessing, if you obey the commandments of the Lord your God, which I am instructing to you this day.
benedictionem si oboedieritis mandatis Domini Dei vestri quae ego praecipio vobis
28 It will be a curse, if you do not obey the commandments of the Lord your God, but instead you withdraw from the way, which I am revealing to you now, and you walk after foreign gods that you have not known.
maledictionem si non audieritis mandata Domini Dei vestri sed recesseritis de via quam ego nunc ostendo vobis et ambulaveritis post deos alienos quos ignoratis
29 Yet truly, when the Lord your God will have led you into the land, to which you are traveling for a habitation, you shall place the blessing upon Mount Gerizim, the curse upon Mount Ebal,
cum introduxerit te Dominus Deus tuus in terram ad quam pergis habitandam pones benedictionem super montem Garizim maledictionem super montem Hebal
30 which are across the Jordan, behind the way which slopes toward the setting of the sun, in the land of the Canaanite, who lives in the plains opposite Gilgal, which is near the valley extending toward and entering a distant place.
qui sunt trans Iordanem post viam quae vergit ad solis occubitum in terra Chananei qui habitat in campestribus contra Galgalam quae est iuxta vallem tendentem et intrantem procul
31 For you shall cross over the Jordan, so that you may possess the land which the Lord your God will give you, so that you may have it and possess it.
vos enim transibitis Iordanem ut possideatis terram quam Dominus Deus vester daturus est vobis et habeatis ac possideatis illam
32 Therefore, see to it that you fulfill the ceremonies and judgments, which I am placing in your sight this day.”
videte ergo ut impleatis caerimonias atque iudicia quae ego hodie ponam in conspectu vestro
