Leviticus 26

1 “Don't make yourselves idols anywhere in your land and bow down to worship them, whether they are images or sacred pillars or stone sculptures. For I am the Lord your God.

Ego Dominus Deus vester: Non facietis vobis idolum et sculptile, nec titulos erigetis, nec insignem lapidem ponetis in terra vestra, ut adoretis eum. ego enim sum Dominus Deus vester.

2 Keep my Sabbaths and show respect for my sanctuary. I am the Lord.

Custodite sabbata mea, et pavete ad Sanctuarium meum. ego Dominus.

3 If you follow my rules and keep my regulations,

Si in praeceptis meis ambulaveritis, et mandata mea custodieritis, et feceritis ea, dabo vobis pluvias temporibus suis,

4 I will make sure it rains at the right time so that the ground will grow good crops and the fruit trees will be productive.

et terra gignet germen suum, et pomis arbores replebuntur.

5 Your time of threshing will last right up to the grape harvest, and the grape harvest until the time you have to sow again. You will have more than enough to eat and you will live in safety in your land.

Apprehendet messium tritura vindemiam, et vindemia occupabit sementem: et comedetis panem vestrum in saturitate, et absque pavore habitabitis in terra vestra.

6 I will make sure your land is at peace. You will be able to sleep without being afraid of anything. I will get rid of dangerous animals from the land, and you will not suffer from any violent enemy attacks.

Dabo pacem in finibus vestris: dormietis, et non erit qui exterreat. Auferam malas bestias: et gladius non transibit terminos vestros.

7 You will chase your enemies, and kill them with the sword.

Persequemini inimicos vestros, et corruent coram vobis.

8 Five of you will kill one hundred, and one hundred of you will kill ten thousand. You will destroy your enemies.

persequentur quinque de vestris centum alienos, et centum de vobis decem millia: cadent inimici vestri gladio in conspectu vestro.

9 I will come to help you, so you will reproduce and increase in numbers, and I will confirm my agreement with you.

Respiciam vos, et crescere faciam: multiplicabimini, et firmabo pactum meum vobiscum.

10 You'll still be eating your old stock of grain when you need to get rid of it so you can store the new grain.

Comedetis vetustissima veterum, et vetera novis supervenientibus proiicietis.

11 I will come and live with you—I certainly won't reject you.

Ponam tabernaculum meum in medio vestri, et non abiiciet vos anima mea.

12 I shall always be right there with you. I will be your God, and you will be my people.

Ambulabo inter vos, et ero Deus vester, vosque eritis populus meus.

13 I am the Lord your God, who led you out of Egypt so you wouldn't have to be slaves to the Egyptians any longer. I smashed the yoke that kept you bent down and helped you to stand up straight.

Ego Dominus Deus vester: qui eduxi vos de Terra Aegyptiorum, ne serviretis eis, et qui confregi catenas cervicum vestrarum, ut incederetis erecti.

14 But if you don't pay attention to me and do what I tell you;

Quod si non audieritis me, nec feceritis omnia mandata mea,

15 if you reject my laws, hate my regulations, and refuse to follow my commandments, and consequently break my agreement,

si spreveritis leges meas, et iudicia mea contempseritis, ut non faciatis ea quae a me constituta sunt, et ad irritum perducatis pactum meum:

16 then this is what I am going to do to you: I will make you panic, and suffer from diseases like tuberculosis and fever that make you blind and drain your life away. It will be pointless for you to sow seed in your fields because your enemies will eat the harvest.

ego quoque haec faciam vobis: Visitabo vos velociter in egestate, et ardore, qui conficiat oculos vestros, et consumat animas vestras. Frustra seretis sementem, quae ab hostibus devorabitur.

17 I will turn against you, and you'll be defeated by your enemies. People who hate you will rule over you, and you'll run away even when there's no one chasing you!

Ponam faciem meam contra vos, et corruetis coram hostibus vestris, et subiiciemini his qui oderunt vos. fugietis, nemine persequente.

18 If after all this you still refuse to obey me, I will move to punishing you seven times over for your sins.

Sin autem nec sic obedieritis mihi, addam correptiones vestras septuplum propter peccata vestra,

19 I will break your self-reliant strength you're so proud of, and make your sky hard as iron and your land hard as bronze.

et conteram superbiam duritiae vestrae. Daboque vobis caelum desuper sicut ferrum, et terram aeneam.

20 Your strength will be completely wasted because your land won't produce crops, and your trees won't produce fruit.

Consumetur incassum labor vester, non proferet terra germen, nec arbores poma praebebunt.

21 If you go on opposing me and refusing to do what I tell you, I will make your punishments seven times worse, based on your sins.

Si ambulaveritis ex adverso mihi, nec volueritis audire me, addam plagas vestras in septuplum propter peccata vestra:

22 I will send wild animals to kill your children, wipe out your livestock, and make you so few in number that there won't be anyone on your roads.

immittamque in vos bestias agri, quae consumant vos, et pecora vestra, et ad paucitatem cuncta redigant, desertaeque fiant viae vestrae.

23 However, if in spite of all this correction you still don't change but go on opposing me,

Quod si nec sic volueritis recipere disciplinam, sed ambulaveritis ex adverso mihi:

24 then I will take action against you. I will punish you seven times over for your sins.

ego quoque contra vos adversus incedam, et percutiam vos septies propter peccata vestra.

25 I will send enemies with swords to attack you in retaliation for breaking the agreement. Even though you retreat into your towns for defense, I will plague you with disease, and you will be handed over to your enemies.

inducamque super vos gladium ultorem foederis mei. Cumque confugeritis in urbes, mittam pestilentiam in medio vestri, et trademini in manibus hostium,

26 I will send a famine so bread is in short supply. One oven will serve the needs of ten women baking bread. It will be distributed by weight so that you'll eat but won't have enough.

postquam confregero baculum panis vestri: ita ut decem mulieres in uno clibano coquant panes, et reddant eos ad pondus: et comedetis, et non saturabimini.

27 However, if in spite of all this you don't obey me, but go on opposing me,

Sin autem nec per haec audieritis me, sed ambulaveritis contra me:

28 then I will take action against you in a rage of fury, and I will punish you myself seven times over for your sins.

et ego incedam adversus vos in furore contrario, et corripiam vos septem plagis propter peccata vestra,

29 You will eat the bodies of your own sons and daughters.

ita ut comedatis carnes filiorum vestrorum et filiarum vestrarum.

30 I will destroy your high places of worship, smash your altars of incense, and pile up your dead bodies on what remains of your idols, which also have no life at all. I will really despise you.

destruam excelsa vestra, et simulachra confringam. Cadetis inter ruinas idolorum vestrorum, et abominabitur vos anima mea,

31 I will demolish your towns and destroy your pagan sanctuaries, and I will refuse to accept your sacrifices.

in tantum ut urbes vestras redigam in solitudinem, et deserta faciam Sanctuaria vestra, nec recipiam ultra odorem suavissimum.

32 I will devastate your land myself, so that your enemies who come and live in it will be horrified at what has happened.

Disperdamque terram vestram, et stupebunt super ea inimici vestri, cum habitatores illius fuerint.

33 I'm going to scatter you among the nations. You will be chased out by armies with swords as your land is ruined and your towns are destroyed.

Vos autem dispergam in Gentes, et evaginabo post vos gladium, eritque terra vestra deserta, et civitates vestrae dirutae.

34 At least then the land will be able to enjoy its Sabbaths all the time it's abandoned while you are in exile in the land of your enemies. The land will finally be able to rest and enjoy its Sabbaths.

Tunc placebunt terrae sabbata sua cunctis diebus solitudinis suae: quando fueritis

35 The whole time it's abandoned the land will observe the Sabbaths of rest that it wasn't able to do while you were living there.

in terra hostili, sabbatizabit, et requiescet in sabbatis solitudinis suae, eo quod non requieverit in sabbatis vestris quando habitabatis in ea.

36 I will make those of you who survive so discouraged that as you live in the lands of your enemies even the sound of a leaf blowing in the wind will scare you into running away! You'll run away like you're being chased by someone with a sword, and fall down even though no one is after you.

Et qui de vobis remanserint, dabo pavorem in cordibus eorum in regionibus hostium, terrebit eos sonitus folii volantis, et ita fugient quasi gladium: cadent, nullo persequente,

37 You'll trip over each other as you run away from the attack, then though no one's there. You'll have no power to resist your enemies.

et corruent singuli super fratres suos quasi bella fugientes, nemo vestrum inimicis audebit resistere.

38 You'll die in exile and you'll be buried in a foreign country.

peribitis inter Gentes, et hostilis vos terra consumet.

39 Those of you who do manage to survive in the countries of your enemies will wither away because of their guilt, decaying as they share the sins of their fathers.

Quod si et de iis aliqui remanserint, tabescent in iniquitatibus suis, in terra inimicorum suorum, et propter peccata patrum suorum et sua affligentur:

40 They need to confess their sins and those of their fathers, acting in such an unfaithful way towards me, opposing me.

donec confiteantur iniquitates suas, et maiorum suorum, quibus praevaricati sunt in me, et ambulaverunt ex adverso mihi.

41 Because of this I took action against them and exiled them in the countries of their enemies. However, if they humbly give up their stubborn attitude and accept their punishment for their sins,

Ambulabo igitur et ego contra eos, et inducam illos in terram hostilem, donec erubescat incircumcisa mens eorum: tunc orabunt pro impietatibus suis.

42 then I will fulfill the agreement I made with Jacob, Isaac, and Abraham, and I will not forget my promise about the land.

Et recordabor foederis mei quod pepigi cum Iacob, et Isaac, et Abraham. Terrae quoque memor ero:

43 For the land will be left empty by them, and it will enjoy its Sabbaths being abandoned. They will pay for their sins, because they rejected my rules and regulations.

quae cum relicta fuerit ab eis, complacebit sibi in sabbatis suis, patiens solitudinem propter illos. Ipsi vero rogabunt pro peccatis suis, eo quod abiecerint iudicia mea, et leges meas despexerint.

44 But despite all this, even while they are living in land of their enemies, I will not reject or hate them so much as to destroy them and break my agreement with them, because I am the Lord their God.

Attamen etiam cum essent in terra hostili, non penitus abieci eos, neque sic despexi ut consumerentur, et irritum facerent pactum meum cum eis. Ego enim sum Dominus Deus eorum,

45 Because of them I will renew the agreement I made with their fathers, those I led out of Egypt as the other nations watched, in order that I might be their God. I am the Lord.”

et recordabor foederis mei pristini, quando eduxi eos de Terra Aegypti in conspectu Gentium, ut essem Deus eorum. ego Dominus Deus.

46 These are the rules, regulations, and laws that the Lord set up between himself and the Israelites through Moses on Mount Sinai.

Haec sunt iudicia atque praecepta et leges, quas dedit Dominus inter se et inter filios Israel in monte Sinai per manum Moysi.
