Deuteronomy 29
1 These are the words of the covenant that Jehovah commanded Moses to make with the children of Israel in the land of Moab, besides the covenant that he made with them in Horeb.
Haec sunt verba foederis quod praecepit Dominus Moysi ut feriret cum filiis Israel in Terra Moab: praeter illud foedus, quod cum eis pepigit in Horeb.
2 And Moses called to all Israel, and said unto them, Ye have seen all that Jehovah did before your eyes in the land of Egypt to Pharaoh, and to all his bondmen, and to all his land:
Vocavitque Moyses omnem Israel, et dixit ad eos: Vos vidistis universa, quae fecit Dominus coram vobis in Terra Aegypti Pharaoni, et omnibus servis eius, universaeque terrae illius,
3 the great trials that thine eyes have seen, those great signs and wonders.
tentationes magnas, quas viderunt oculi tui, signa illa, portentaque ingentia,
4 But Jehovah hath not given you a heart to perceive, and eyes to see, and ears to hear, to this day.
et non dedit vobis Dominus cor intelligens, et oculos videntes, et aures quae possunt audire, usque in praesentem diem.
5 And I have led you forty years in the wilderness; your clothes are not grown old upon you, and thy sandal is not grown old upon thy foot;
Adduxit vos quadraginta annis per desertum: non sunt attrita vestimenta vestra, nec calceamenta pedum vestrorum vetustate consumpta sunt.
6 ye have not eaten bread, neither have ye drunk wine or strong drink, that ye might know that I am Jehovah your God.
Panem non comedistis, vinum et siceram non bibistis: ut sciretis quia ipsa est Dominus Deus vester.
7 And ye came to this place; and Sihon the king of Heshbon and Og the king of Bashan came out against us for battle, and we smote them.
Et venistis ad hunc locum: egressusque est Sehon rex Hesebon, et Og rex Basan, occurrentes nobis ad pugnam. Et percussimus eos,
8 And we took their land, and gave it for an inheritance to the Reubenites, and to the Gadites, and to the half tribe of the Manassites.
et tulimus terram eorum, ac tradidimus possidendam Ruben et Gad, et dimidiae tribui Manasse.
9 Ye shall keep then the words of this covenant, and do them, that ye may prosper in all that ye do.
Custodite ergo verba pacti huius, et implete ea: ut intelligatis universa quae facitis.
10 Ye stand this day all of you before Jehovah your God: your chiefs [of] your tribes, your elders, and your officers, all the men of Israel,
Vos statis hodie cuncti coram Domino Deo vestro, principes vestri, et tribus, ac maiores natu, atque doctores, omnis populus Israel,
11 your little ones, your wives, and thy stranger that is in thy camp, as well the hewer of thy wood as the drawer of thy water;
liberi et uxores vestrae, et advenae qui tecum morantur in castris, exceptis lignorum caesoribus, et his, qui comportant aquas:
12 that thou mayest enter into the covenant of Jehovah thy God, and into his oath, which Jehovah thy God maketh with thee this day;
ut transeas in foedere Domini Dei tui, et in iureiurando quod hodie Dominus Deus tuus percutit tecum:
13 that he may establish thee this day for a people unto himself, and [that] he may be to thee a God, as he hath said unto thee, and as he hath sworn unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob.
ut suscitet te sibi in populum, et ipse sit Deus tuus sicut locutus est tibi, et sicut iuravit patribus tuis, Abraham, Isaac, et Iacob.
14 Neither with you only do I make this covenant and this oath,
Nec vobis solis ego hoc foedus ferio, et haec iuramenta confirmo,
15 but with him that standeth here with us this day before Jehovah our God, and with him that is not here with us this day
sed cunctis praesentibus et absentibus.
16 (for ye know how we dwelt in the land of Egypt, and how we came through the nations which ye passed;
Vos enim nostis quo modo habitaverimus in Terra Aegypti, et quo modo transierimus per medium nationum, quas transeuntes
17 and ye have seen their abominations, and their idols, wood and stone, silver and gold, which were among them);
vidistis abominationes et sordes, id est, idola eorum, lignum et lapidem, argentum et aurum, quae colebant.
18 lest there should be among you man, or woman, or family, or tribe, whose heart turneth away this day from Jehovah our God, to go and serve the gods of these nations; lest there should be among you a root that beareth gall and wormwood,
Ne forte sit inter vos vir aut mulier, familia aut tribus, cuius cor aversum est hodie a Domino Deo nostro: ut vadat et serviat diis illarum Gentium: et sit inter vos radix germinans fel et amaritudinem.
19 and it come to pass, when he heareth the words of this curse, that he bless himself in his heart, saying, I shall have peace, though I walk in the stubbornness of my heart, to sweep away the drunken with the thirsty.
Cumque audierit verba iuramenti huius, benedicat sibi in corde suo, dicens: Pax erit mihi, et ambulabo in pravitate cordis mei: et assumat ebria sitientem,
20 Jehovah will not pardon him, but the anger of Jehovah and his jealousy will then smoke against that man, and all the curse shall be upon him that is written in this book; and Jehovah will blot out his name from under the heavens;
et Dominus non ignoscat ei: sed tunc quammaxime furor eius fumet, et zelus contra hominem illum, et sedeant super eum omnia maledicta, quae scripta sunt in hoc volumine: et deleat Dominus nomen eius sub caelo,
21 and Jehovah will separate him for mischief out of all the tribes of Israel, according to all the curses of the covenant that is written in this book of the law.
et consumat eum in perditionem ex omnibus tribubus Israel, iuxta maledictiones, quae in Libro legis huius ac foederis continentur.
22 And the generation to come, your children who shall rise up after you, and the foreigner that shall come from a far land, shall say, when they see the plagues of that land, and its sicknesses wherewith Jehovah hath visited it,
Dicetque sequens generatio, et filii qui nascentur deinceps, et peregrini, qui de longe venerint, videntes plagas Terrae illius, et infirmitates, quibus eam afflixerit Dominus,
23 [that] the whole ground thereof is brimstone and salt, [and] burning, that it is not sown, nor beareth, and no grass groweth in it, like the overthrow of Sodom and Gomorrah, Admah and Zeboim, which Jehovah overthrew in his anger and in his fury:
sulphure, et salis ardore comburens, ita ut ultra non seratur, nec virens quippiam germinet, in exemplum subversionis Sodomae et Gomorrhae, Adamae et Seboim, quas subvertit Dominus in ira et furore suo.
24 even all nations shall say, Why has Jehovah done thus to this land? whence the heat of this great anger?
Et dicent omnes Gentes: Quare sic fecit Dominus Terrae huic? quae est haec ira furoris eius immensa?
25 And men shall say, Because they have forsaken the covenant of Jehovah the God of their fathers, which he had made with them when he brought them forth out of the land of Egypt;
Et respondebunt: Quia dereliquerunt pactum Domini, quod pepigit cum patribus eorum, quando eduxit eos de Terra Aegypti:
26 and they went and served other gods, and bowed down to them, gods whom they knew not, and whom he had not assigned to them.
et servierunt diis alienis, et adoraverunt eos, quos nesciebant, et quibus non fuerant attributi:
27 And the anger of Jehovah was kindled against this land, to bring upon it all the curse that is written in this book;
idcirco iratus est furor Domini contra Terram istam, ut induceret super eam omnia maledicta, quae in hoc volumine scripta sunt:
28 and Jehovah rooted them out of their land in anger, and in fury, and in great indignation, and cast them into another land, as [it appears] this day.
et eiecit eos de terra sua in ira et in furore, et in indignatione maxima, proiecitque in terram alienam, sicut hodie comprobatur.
29 The hidden things belong to Jehovah our God; but the revealed ones are ours and our children's for ever, to do all the words of this law.
Abscondita, Domino Deo nostro: quae manifesta sunt, nobis et filiis nostris usque in sempiternum, ut faciamus universa verba legis huius.
