Deuteronomy 6
1 And these are the commandments, the statutes, and the ordinances, which Jehovah your God commanded to teach you, that ye may do them in the land whereunto ye pass over to possess it,
haec sunt praecepta et caerimoniae atque iudicia quae mandavit Dominus Deus vester ut docerem vos et faciatis ea in terra ad quam transgredimini possidendam
2 that thou mayest fear Jehovah thy God, to keep all his statutes and his commandments which I command thee, thou, and thy son, and thy son's son, all the days of thy life; and that thy days may be prolonged.
ut timeas Dominum Deum tuum et custodias omnia mandata et praecepta eius quae ego praecipio tibi et filiis ac nepotibus tuis cunctis diebus vitae tuae ut prolongentur dies tui
3 And thou shalt hear, Israel, and take heed to do [them]; that it may be well with thee, and that ye may increase greatly, as Jehovah the God of thy fathers hath said unto thee, in a land flowing with milk and honey.
audi Israhel et observa ut facias et bene sit tibi et multipliceris amplius sicut pollicitus est Dominus Deus patrum tuorum tibi terram lacte et melle manantem
4 Hear, Israel: Jehovah our God is one Jehovah;
audi Israhel Dominus Deus noster Dominus unus est
5 and thou shalt love Jehovah thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength.
diliges Dominum Deum tuum ex toto corde tuo et ex tota anima tua et ex tota fortitudine tua
6 And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be in thy heart;
eruntque verba haec quae ego praecipio tibi hodie in corde tuo
7 and thou shalt impress them on thy sons, and shalt talk 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.
et narrabis ea filiis tuis et meditaberis sedens in domo tua et ambulans in itinere dormiens atque consurgens
8 And thou shalt bind them for a sign on thy hand, and they shall be for frontlets between thine eyes.
et ligabis ea quasi signum in manu tua eruntque et movebuntur inter oculos tuos
9 And thou shalt write them upon the posts of thy house, and upon thy gates.
scribesque ea in limine et ostiis domus tuae
10 And it shall be, when Jehovah thy God bringeth thee into the land which he swore unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give thee: great and good cities which thou buildedst not,
cumque introduxerit te Dominus Deus tuus in terram pro qua iuravit patribus tuis Abraham Isaac et Iacob et dederit tibi civitates magnas et optimas quas non aedificasti
11 and houses full of everything good which thou filledst not, and wells digged which thou diggedst not, vineyards and oliveyards which thou plantedst not, and thou shalt have eaten and shalt be full;
domos plenas cunctarum opum quas non extruxisti cisternas quas non fodisti vineta et oliveta quae non plantasti
12 [then] beware lest thou forget Jehovah who brought thee forth out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
et comederis et saturatus fueris
13 Thou shalt fear Jehovah thy God, and serve him, and shalt swear by his name.
cave diligenter ne obliviscaris Domini qui eduxit te de terra Aegypti de domo servitutis Dominum Deum tuum timebis et ipsi servies ac per nomen illius iurabis
14 Ye shall not go after other gods, of the gods of the peoples that are round about you;
non ibitis post deos alienos cunctarum gentium quae in circuitu vestro sunt
15 for Jehovah thy God is a jealous God in thy midst; lest the anger of Jehovah thy God be kindled against thee, and he destroy thee from the face of the earth.
quoniam Deus aemulator Dominus Deus tuus in medio tui nequando irascatur furor Domini Dei tui contra te et auferat te de superficie terrae
16 Ye shall not tempt Jehovah your God, as ye tempted him in Massah.
non temptabis Dominum Deum tuum sicut temptasti in loco temptationis
17 Ye shall diligently keep the commandments of Jehovah your God, and his testimonies, and his statutes, which he hath commanded thee.
custodi praecepta Domini Dei tui ac testimonia et caerimonias quas praecepit tibi
18 And thou shalt do what is right and good in the sight of Jehovah, that it may be well with thee, and that thou mayest enter in and possess the good land which Jehovah swore unto thy fathers,
et fac quod placitum est et bonum in conspectu Domini ut bene sit tibi et ingressus possideas terram optimam de qua iuravit Dominus patribus tuis
19 thrusting out all thine enemies from before thee, as Jehovah hath spoken.
ut deleret omnes inimicos tuos coram te sicut locutus est
20 When thy son shall ask thee in time to come, saying, What are the testimonies, and the statutes, and the ordinances, which Jehovah our God hath commanded you?
cum interrogaverit te filius tuus cras dicens quid sibi volunt testimonia haec et caerimoniae atque iudicia quae praecepit Dominus Deus noster nobis
21 then thou shalt say unto thy son, We were Pharaoh's bondmen in Egypt; and Jehovah brought us out of Egypt with a powerful hand;
dices ei servi eramus Pharaonis in Aegypto et eduxit nos Dominus de Aegypto in manu forti
22 and Jehovah shewed signs and wonders, great and grievous, upon Egypt, upon Pharaoh, and upon all his household, before our eyes;
fecitque signa atque prodigia magna et pessima in Aegypto contra Pharaonem et omnem domum illius in conspectu nostro
23 and he brought us out thence, that he might bring us in, to give us the land which he swore unto our fathers.
et eduxit nos inde ut introductis daret terram super qua iuravit patribus nostris
24 And Jehovah commanded us to do all these statutes, to fear Jehovah our God, for our good continually, that he might preserve us alive, as it is this day.
praecepitque nobis Dominus ut faciamus omnia legitima haec et timeamus Dominum Deum nostrum et bene sit nobis cunctis diebus vitae nostrae sicut est hodie
25 And it shall be our righteousness if we take heed to do all these commandments before Jehovah our God, as he hath commanded us.
eritque nostri misericors si custodierimus et fecerimus omnia praecepta eius coram Domino Deo nostro sicut mandavit nobis
