Deuteronomy 29
1 The following are the terms of the agreement that the Lord ordered Moses to make with the Israelites in the country of Moab This was in addition to the agreement he had made with them at Horeb.
haec sunt verba foederis quod praecepit Dominus Mosi ut feriret cum filiis Israhel in terra Moab praeter illud foedus quod cum eis pepigit in Horeb
2 Moses called all the Israelites together and announced to them, You saw with your own eyes everything the Lord did in Egypt to Pharaoh, to all his officials, and to his whole country.
vocavitque Moses omnem Israhelem et dixit ad eos vos vidistis universa quae fecit Dominus coram vobis in terra Aegypti Pharaoni et omnibus servis eius universaeque terrae illius
3 You saw with your own eyes the amazing tests, and those great signs and miracles.
temptationes magnas quas viderunt oculi tui signa illa portentaque ingentia
4 But up to now the Lord has not given you minds that understand, or eyes that see, or ears that hear, saying,
et non dedit Dominus vobis cor intellegens et oculos videntes et aures quae possint audire usque in praesentem diem
5 For forty years I led you through the desert, but your clothes and sandals didn't wear out.
adduxi vos quadraginta annis per desertum non sunt adtrita vestimenta vestra nec calciamenta pedum tuorum vetustate consumpta sunt
6 You didn't have bread to eat, or wine or alcohol to drink in order that you would realize that I am the Lord your God.
panem non comedistis vinum et siceram non bibistis ut sciretis quia ego sum Dominus Deus vester
7 When we arrived here, Sihon king of Heshbon and Og king of Bashan marched out to fight us in battle, but we defeated them.
et venistis ad locum hunc egressusque est Seon rex Esebon et Og rex Basan occurrens nobis ad pugnam et percussimus eos
8 We took their land and gave it to the tribes of Reuben, Gad, and the half-tribe of Manasseh to own.
et tulimus terram eorum ac tradidimus possidendam Ruben et Gad et dimidiae tribui Manasse
9 So make sure you keep and follow the terms of this agreement in order that you may be successful in everything you do.
custodite ergo verba pacti huius et implete ea ut intellegatis universa quae facitis
10 Every one of you is stand here today before the Lord your God: you tribal leaders, officials, and all the men of Israel,
vos statis hodie cuncti coram Domino Deo vestro principes vestri ac tribus et maiores natu atque doctores omnis populus Israhel
11 your children and wives, and the foreigners in your camps who cut your firewood and carry your water.
liberi et uxores vestrae et advena qui tecum moratur in castris exceptis lignorum caesoribus et his qui conportant aquas
12 You're here so you can enter into the agreement of the Lord your God, which he is making with you today, and accept his solemn promise,
ut transeas in foedere Domini Dei tui et in iureiurando quod hodie Dominus Deus tuus percutit tecum
13 and so he can confirm you today as his people. He will be your God as he told you and as he promised your forefathers Abraham, Isaac, and 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 It's not only with you that the Lord is making this agreement and solemn promise,
nec vobis solis ego hoc foedus ferio et haec iuramenta confirmo
15 those who are standing here with us today in the presence of the Lord our God, but also with those who are not here today.
sed cunctis praesentibus et absentibus
16 You know very well what it was like when we lived in the land of Egypt and our experiences as we passed through the nations on the way here.
vos enim nostis ut habitaverimus in terra Aegypti et quomodo transierimus per medium nationum quas transeuntes
17 You saw their disgusting religious practices and their idols of wood and stone, and silver and gold.
vidistis abominationes et sordes id est idola eorum lignum et lapidem argentum et aurum quae colebant
18 You need to make sure today that there's no man or woman, family or tribe of yours who wants to turn from the Lord our God and go and worship the gods of these nations. Make sure there is nothing like that among you that would produce such poison and bitterness.
ne forte sit inter vos vir aut mulier familia aut tribus cuius cor aversum est hodie a Domino Deo vestro ut vadat et serviat diis illarum gentium et sit inter vos radix germinans fel et amaritudinem
19 For when someone like that hears the words of this solemn promise, they think they'll still receive a blessing, telling themselves, “I'll be safe, even though I'll go on doing whatever I feel like.” Such an attitude would destroy good and bad alike.
cumque audierit verba iuramenti huius benedicat sibi in corde suo dicens pax erit mihi et ambulabo in pravitate cordis mei et adsumat ebria sitientem
20 The Lord would never want to pardon them. In fact, his passionate anger will burn against them, and every curse written in this book will fall on them. The Lord will erase their name from the earth,
et Dominus non ignoscat ei sed tunc quam maxime furor eius fumet et zelus contra hominem illum et sedeant super eo omnia maledicta quae scripta sunt in hoc volumine et deleat nomen eius sub caelo
21 and punish them as an example of them for all the Israelite tribes, in accordance with all the curses of the agreement written in this Book of the Law.
et consumat eum in perditionem ex omnibus tribubus Israhel iuxta maledictiones quae in libro legis huius ac foederis continentur
22 Later generations, your descendants and foreigners from far away, will see how the Lord has brought disaster on the country and devastated it.
dicetque sequens generatio et filii qui nascentur deinceps et peregrini qui de longe venerint videntes plagas terrae illius et infirmitates quibus eam adflixerit Dominus
23 The whole country will be burning wasteland of sulfur and salt. Nothing is sown; it's totally unproductive; no plant grows there—just like the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah, Admah and Zeboiim, which the Lord destroyed in his furious anger.
sulphure et salis ardore conburens ita ut ultra non seratur nec virens quippiam germinet in exemplum subversionis Sodomae et Gomorrae Adamae et Seboim quas subvertit Dominus in ira et furore suo
24 Everyone everywhere will ask, “Why did the Lord do this to the country? Why did he get so terribly angry?”
et dicent omnes gentes quare sic fecit Dominus terrae huic quae est haec ira furoris eius inmensa
25 The people will answer, “It's because they abandoned the agreement of the Lord, the God of their forefathers, which he made with them when he led them out of Egypt.
et respondebunt quia dereliquerunt pactum Domini quod pepigit cum patribus eorum quando eduxit eos de terra Aegypti
26 They went off and worshiped other gods, bowing down to gods they'd never heard of—gods that the Lord had not given to them.
et servierunt diis alienis et adoraverunt eos quos nesciebant et quibus non fuerant adtributi
27 That's why the Lord was so angry with this land, and he rained down on it every curse 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 The Lord uprooted them from their country in his anger, rage, and fury, and he threw them out, leaving them in another land, where they are to this day.”
et eiecit eos de terra sua in ira et furore et indignatione maxima proiecitque in terram alienam sicut hodie conprobatur
29 The Lord our God has secrets that belong to him, but what has been revealed belong to us and to our descendants forever, so that we may follow everything in this law.
abscondita Domino Deo nostro quae manifesta sunt nobis et filiis nostris usque in aeternum ut faciamus universa legis huius
