Deuteronomy 11
1 Thou shalt love then Jehovah thy God, and keep his charge, and his statutes, and his ordinances, and his commandments continually.
Ama itaque Dominum Deum tuum, et observa præcepta eius et ceremonias, iudicia atque mandata omni tempore.
2 And know ye this day...; for [I speak] not with your children who have not known, and who have not seen the chastisement of Jehovah your God, his greatness, his powerful hand, and his stretched-out arm,
Cognoscite hodie quæ ignorant filii vestri, qui non viderunt disciplinam Domini Dei vestri, magnalia eius et robustam manum, extentumque brachium,
3 and his signs and his acts which he did in the midst of Egypt unto Pharaoh the king of Egypt, and unto all his land;
signa et opera quæ fecit in medio Ægypti Pharaoni regi, et universæ terræ eius,
4 and what he did unto the army of Egypt, unto their horses, and unto their chariots, over which he made the water of the Red sea flow as they pursued after you, and Jehovah destroyed them unto this day;
omnique exercitui Ægyptiorum, et equis ac curribus: quo modo operuerint eos aquæ maris rubri, cum vos persequerentur, et deleverit eos Dominus usque in præsentem diem:
5 — and what he did unto you in the wilderness, until ye came to this place;
vobisque quæ fecerit in solitudine donec veniretis ad hunc locum:
6 and what he did unto Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab, the son of Reuben, — how the earth opened its mouth, and swallowed them up, with their households, and their tents, and all the living substance that belonged to them, in the midst 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 For your eyes have seen all the great work of Jehovah which he hath done.
Oculi vestri viderunt opera Domini magna quæ fecit,
8 Keep then all the commandment which I command you this day, that ye may be strong, and enter in and possess the land, whither ye pass over to possess it;
ut custodiatis universa mandata illius, quæ ego hodie præcipio vobis, et possitis introire, et possidere Terram, ad quam ingredimini,
9 and that ye may prolong your days in the land which Jehovah swore unto your fathers to give unto them and unto their seed, 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, whither thou enterest in to possess it, is not as the land of Egypt, from whence ye came out, where thou sowedst thy seed, and wateredst it with thy foot, as a garden of herbs;
Terra enim, ad quam ingrederis possidendam, non est sicut Terra Ægypti, de qua existi, ubi iacto semine in hortorum morem aquæ ducuntur irriguæ:
11 but the land, whereunto ye are passing over to possess it, is a land of mountains and valleys, which drinketh water of the rain of heaven,
sed montuosa est et campestris, de cælo expectans pluvias.
12 a land which Jehovah thy God careth for; the eyes of Jehovah thy God are constantly upon it, from the beginning of the year even unto the end of the year.
quam Dominus Deus tuus semper invisit, et oculi illius in ea sunt a principio anni usque ad finem eius.
13 And it shall come to pass, if ye hearken diligently unto my commandments which I command you this day, to love Jehovah your God, and to serve him with all your heart and with all your soul,
Si ergo obedieritis mandatis meis, quæ ego hodie præcipio vobis, ut diligatis Dominum Deum vestrum, et serviatis ei in toto corde vestro, et in tota anima vestra:
14 that I will give rain to your land in its season, the early rain and the latter rain; and thou shalt gather in thy corn, and thy new wine, and thine oil;
dabit pluviam terræ vestræ temporaneam et serotinam, ut colligatis frumentum, et vinum, et oleum,
15 and I will give grass in thy field for thy cattle; and thou shalt eat and be full.
fœnumque ex agris ad pascenda iumenta, et ut ipsi comedatis ac saturemini.
16 Take heed to yourselves, that your heart be not deceived, and ye turn aside and serve other gods, and bow down to them,
Cavete ne forte decipiatur cor vestrum, et recedatis a Domino, serviatisque diis alienis, et adoretis eos:
17 and Jehovah's wrath kindle against you, and he shut up the heavens, that there be no rain, and that the ground yield not its produce, and ye perish quickly from off the good land which Jehovah is giving you.
iratusque Dominus claudat cælum, et pluviæ non descendant, nec terra det germen suum, pereatisque velociter de Terra optima, quam Dominus daturus est vobis.
18 And ye shall lay up these my words in your heart and in your soul, and bind them for a sign upon your hand, and they shall be for frontlets between your eyes.
Ponite hæc verba mea in cordibus et in animis vestris, et suspendite ea pro signo in manibus, et inter oculos vestros collocate.
19 And ye shall teach them unto your children, speaking of them when thou sittest in thy house, and when thou goest on the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up;
Docete filios vestros ut illa meditentur, quando sederis in domo tua, et ambulaveris in via, et accubueris atque surrexeris.
20 and write them upon the posts of thy house, and upon thy gates;
Scribes ea super postes et ianuas domus tuæ:
21 that your days may be multiplied, and the days of your children, in the land which Jehovah swore unto your fathers to give them, as the days of the heavens [which are] above the earth.
ut multiplicentur dies tui, et filiorum tuorum in Terra, quam iuravit Dominus patribus tuis, ut daret eis quamdiu cælum imminet terræ.
22 For if ye diligently keep all this commandment which I command you [this day] to do it, to love Jehovah your God, to walk in all his ways, and to cleave unto him,
Si enim custodieritis mandata quæ ego præcipio vobis, et feceritis ea, ut diligatis Dominum Deum vestrum, et ambuletis in omnibus viis eius, adhærentes ei,
23 then will Jehovah dispossess all these nations from before you, and ye shall take possession of nations greater and mightier than yourselves.
disperdet Dominus omnes gentes istas ante faciem vestram, et possidebitis eas, quæ maiores et fortiores vobis sunt.
24 Every place whereon the sole of your foot shall tread shall be yours; from the wilderness and Lebanon, from the river, the river Euphrates, even unto the hinder sea shall your border be.
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 No man shall be able to stand before you: the fear of you and the dread of you will Jehovah your God lay upon all the land that ye shall tread upon, as he hath said unto you.
Nullus stabit contra vos: terrorem vestrum et formidinem dabit Dominus Deus vester super omnem terram quam calcaturi estis, sicut locutus est vobis.
26 See, I set before you this day a blessing and a curse:
En propono in conspectu vestro hodie benedictionem et maledictionem:
27 a blessing, if ye obey the commandments of Jehovah your God, which I command you this day;
benedictionem, si obedieritis mandatis Domini Dei vestri, quæ ego hodie præcipio vobis:
28 and a curse, if ye will not obey the commandments of Jehovah your God, but turn aside out of the way which I command you this day, to go after other gods which ye have not known.
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 it shall come to pass, when Jehovah thy God hath brought thee into the land whither thou enterest in to possess it, that thou shalt put the blessing upon mount Gerizim, and the curse upon 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 the Jordan, beyond the way toward the going down of the sun, in the land of the Canaanites that dwell on the plain opposite to Gilgal, beside the oaks of Moreh?
qui sunt trans Iordanem post viam, quæ vergit ad solis occubitum in Terra Chananæi, qui habitat in campestribus contra Galgalam, quæ est iuxta vallem tendentem et intrantem procul.
31 For ye pass over the Jordan to enter in to possess the land which Jehovah your God giveth you, and ye shall take possession of it, and dwell therein.
Vos enim transibitis Iordanem, ut possideatis Terram, quam Dominus Deus vester daturus est vobis, ut habeatis et possideatis illam.
32 And ye shall take heed to do all the statutes and ordinances which I set before you this day.
Videte ergo ut impleatis ceremonias atque iudicia, quæ ego hodie ponam in conspectu vestro.
