Deuteronomy 32
1 Hearken, ye heauens, and I will speake: and let the earth heare the words of my mouth.
Audite cæli quæ loquor, audiat terra verba oris mei.
2 My doctrine shall drop as the raine, and my speach shall stil as the dew, as the showre vpon the herbes, and as the great raine vpon the grasse.
Concrescat ut pluvia doctrina mea, fluat ut ros eloquium meum, quasi imber super herbam, et quasi stillæ super gramina.
3 For I will publish the name of the Lord: giue ye glorie vnto our God.
Quia nomen Domini invocabo: date magnificentiam Deo nostro.
4 Perfect is the worke of the mighty God: for all his wayes are iudgement. God is true, and without wickednesse: iust, and righteous is he.
Dei perfecta sunt opera, et omnes viæ eius iudicia: Deus fidelis, et absque ulla iniquitate, iustus et rectus.
5 They haue corrupted them selues towarde him by their vice, not being his children, but a frowarde and crooked generation.
Peccaverunt ei, et non filii eius in sordibus: generatio prava atque perversa.
6 Doe ye so rewarde the Lord, O foolish people and vnwise? is not he thy father, that hath bought thee? he hath made thee, and proportioned thee.
Hæccine reddis Domino popule stulte et insipiens? Numquid non ipse est Pater tuus, qui possedit te, et fecit, et creavit te?
7 Remember the dayes of olde: consider the yeeres of so many generations: aske thy father, and he will shewe thee: thine Elders, and they will tell thee.
Memento dierum antiquorum, cogita generationes singulas: interroga patrem tuum, et annunciabit tibi: maiores tuos, et dicent tibi.
8 When the most hie God deuided to the nations their inheritance, when he separated the sonnes of Adam, he appoynted the borders of the people, according to the nomber of the children of Israel.
Quando dividebat Altissimus gentes: quando separabat filios Adam, constituit terminos populorum iuxta numerum filiorum Israel.
9 For the Lordes portion is his people: Iaakob is the lot of his inheritance.
Pars autem Domini, populus eius: Iacob funiculus hereditatis eius.
10 He found him in ye land of ye wildernes, in a waste, and roaring wildernes: he led him about, he taught him, and kept him as ye apple of his eye.
Invenit eum in terra deserta, in loco horroris, et vastæ solitudinis: circumduxit eum, et docuit: et custodivit quasi pupillam oculi sui.
11 As an eagle stereth vp her nest, flootereth ouer her birdes, stretcheth out her wings, taketh them, and beareth them on her wings,
Sicut aquila provocans ad volandum pullos suos, et super eos volitans, expandit alas suas, et assumpsit eum, atque portavit in humeris suis.
12 So the Lord alone led him, and there was no strange god with him.
Dominus solus dux eius fuit: et non erat cum eo deus alienus.
13 He caryed him vp to the hie places of the earth, that he might eate the fruites of the fieldes, and he caused him to sucke hony out of the stone, and oyle out of the hard rocke:
Constituit eum super excelsam terram: ut comederet fructus agrorum, ut sugeret mel de petra, oleumque de saxo durissimo.
14 Butter of kine, and milke of sheepe with fat of the lambes, and rammes fed in Bashan, and goates, with the fat of the graines of wheat, and the red licour of the grape hast thou drunke.
Butyrum de armento, et lac de ovibus cum adipe agnorum, et arietum filiorum Basan, et hircos cum medulla tritici, et sanguinem uvæ biberet meracissimum.
15 But he that should haue bene vpright, when he waxed fat, spurned with his heele: thou art fat, thou art grosse, thou art laden with fatnes: therefore he forsooke God that made him, and regarded not the strong God of his saluation.
Incrassatus est dilectus, et recalcitravit: incrassatus, impinguatus, dilatatus, dereliquit Deum Factorem suum, et recessit a Deo salutari suo.
16 They prouoked him with strange gods: they prouoked him to anger with abominations.
Provocaverunt eum in diis alienis, et in abominationibus ad iracundiam concitaverunt.
17 They offred vnto deuils, not to God, but to gods whome they knew not: new gods that came newly vp, whome their fathers feared not.
Immolaverunt dæmoniis et non Deo, diis, quos ignorabant: novi recentesque venerunt, quos non coluerunt patres eorum.
18 Thou hast forgotten the mightie God that begate thee, and hast forgotten God that formed thee.
Deum, qui te genuit dereliquisti, et oblitus es Domini creatoris tui.
19 The Lord then sawe it, and was angrie, for the prouocation of his sonnes and of his daughters.
Vidit Dominus, et ad iracundiam concitatus est: quia provocaverunt eum filii sui et filiæ.
20 And he said, I will hide my face from the: I will see what their ende shalbe: for they are a frowarde generation, children in who is no faith.
Et ait: Abscondam faciem meam ab eis, et considerabo novissima eorum: generatio enim perversa est, et infideles filii.
21 They haue moued me to ielousie with that which is not God: they haue prouoked me to anger with their vanities: and I will moue them to ielousie with those which are no people: I wil prouoke them to anger with a foolish nation.
Ipsi me provocaverunt in eo, qui non erat Deus, et irritaverunt in vanitatibus suis: et ego provocabo eos in eo, qui non est populus, et in gente stulta irritabo illos.
22 For fire is kindled in my wrath, and shall burne vnto the bottome of hell, and shall consume the earth with her increase, and set on fire the foundations of the mountaines. (Sheol h7585)
Ignis succensus est in furore meo, et ardebit usque ad inferni novissima: devorabitque terram cum germine suo, et montium fundamenta comburet. (Sheol h7585)
23 I will spend plagues vpon them: I will bestowe mine arrowes vpon them.
Congregabo super eos mala, et sagittas meas complebo in eis.
24 They shalbe burnt with hunger, and consumed with heate, and with bitter destruction: I will also sende the teeth of beastes vpon them, with the venime of serpents creeping in the dust.
Consumentur fame, et devorabunt eos aves morsu amarissimo: dentes bestiarum immittam in eos, cum furore trahentium super terram, atque serpentium.
25 The sworde shall kill them without, and in the chambers feare: both the yong man and the yong woman, the suckeling with the man of gray heare.
Foris vastabit eos gladius, et intus pavor, iuvenem simul ac virginem, lactentem cum homine sene.
26 I haue said, I would scatter them abroade: I would make their remembrance to cease from among men,
Dixi: Ubinam sunt? Cessare faciam ex hominibus memoriam eorum.
27 Saue that I feared the furie of the enemie, least their aduersaries should waxe proude, and least they should say, Our hie hande and not the Lord hath done all this:
Sed propter iram inimicorum distuli: ne forte superbirent hostes eorum, et dicerent: Manus nostra excelsa, et non Dominus, fecit hæc omnia.
28 For they are a nation voide of counsel, neither is there any vnderstanding in them.
Gens absque consilio est, et sine prudentia.
29 Oh that they were wise, then they would vnderstand this: they would consider their latter ende.
Utinam saperent, et intelligerent, ac novissima providerent.
30 How should one chase a thousand, and two put ten thousande to flight, except their strong God had sold the, and the Lord had shut them vp?
Quo modo persequatur unus mille, et duo fugent decem millia? Nonne ideo, quia Deus suus vendidit eos, et Dominus conclusit illos?
31 For their god is not as our God, euen our enemies being iudges.
Non enim est Deus noster ut dii eorum: et inimici nostri sunt iudices.
32 For their vine is of the vine of Sodom, and of the vines of Gomorah: their grapes are grapes of gall, their clusters be bitter.
De vinea Sodomorum, vinea eorum, et de suburbanis Gomorrhæ: uva eorum uva fellis, et botri amarissimi.
33 Their wine is the poyson of dragons, and the cruel gall of aspes.
Fel draconum vinum eorum, et venenum aspidum insanabile.
34 Is not this laide in store with me, and sealed vp among my treasures?
Nonne hæc condita sunt apud me, et signata in thesauris meis?
35 Vengeance and recompence are mine: their foote shall slide in due time: for the day of their destruction is at hand, and the things that shall come vpon them, make haste.
Mea est ultio, et ego retribuam in tempore, ut labatur pes eorum: iuxta est dies perditionis, et adesse festinant tempora.
36 For the Lord shall iudge his people, and repent towarde his seruants, when hee seeth that their power is gone, and none shut vp in holde nor left abroad.
Iudicabit Dominus populum suum, et in servis suis miserebitur: videbit quod infirmata sit manus, et clausi quoque defecerunt, residuique consumpti sunt.
37 When men shall say, Where are their gods, their mighty God in whome they trusted,
Et dicet: Ubi sunt dii eorum, in quibus habebant fiduciam?
38 Which did eate the fat of their sacrifices, and did drinke the wine of their drinke offring? let them rise vp, and help you: let him be your refuge.
De quorum victimis comedebant adipes, et bibebant vinum libaminum: surgant, et opitulentur vobis, et in necessitate vos protegant.
39 Behold now, for I, I am he, and there is no gods with me: I kill, and giue life: I wound, and I make whole: neither is there any that can deliuer out of mine hand.
Videte quod ego sim solus, et non sit alius deus præter me: ego occidam, et ego vivere faciam: percutiam, et ego sanabo, et non est qui de manu mea possit eruere.
40 For I lift vp mine hand to heauen, and say, I liue for euer.
Levabo ad cælum manum meam, et dicam: Vivo ego in æternum.
41 If I whet my glittering sworde, and mine hand take holde on iudgement, I will execute vengeance on mine enemies, and will rewarde them that hate me.
Si acuero ut fulgur gladium meum, et arripuerit iudicium manus mea: reddam ultionem hostibus meis, et his qui oderunt me retribuam.
42 I will make mine arrowes drunke with blood, (and my sword shall eate flesh) for the blood of the slaine, and of the captiues, when I beginne to take vengeance of the enemie.
Inebriabo sagittas meas sanguine, et gladius meus devorabit carnes, de cruore occisorum, et de captivitate, nudati inimicorum capitis.
43 Ye nations, praise his people: for he will auenge the blood of his seruants, and will execute vengeance vpon his aduersaries, and will bee mercifull vnto his lande, and to his people.
Laudate gentes populum eius, quia sanguinem servorum suorum ulciscetur: et vindictam retribuet in hostes eorum, et propitius erit terræ populi sui.
44 Then Moses came and spake all ye words of this song in the audience of the people, he and Hoshea the sonne of Nun.
Venit ergo Moyses, et locutus est omnia verba cantici huius in auribus populi, ipse et Iosue filius Nun.
45 When Moses had made an end of speaking all these wordes to all Israel,
Complevitque omnes sermones istos, loquens ad universum Israel.
46 Then hee said vnto them, Set your heartes vnto all the wordes which I testifie against you this day, that ye may commande them vnto your children, that they may obserue and doo all the wordes of this Lawe.
Et dixit ad eos: Ponite corda vestra in omnia verba, quæ ego testificor vobis hodie: ut mandetis ea filiis vestris custodire et facere, et implere universa quæ scripta sunt legis huius:
47 For it is no vaine worde concerning you, but it is your life, and by this worde ye shall prolong your dayes in the land, whither yee go ouer Iorden to possesse it.
quia non incassum præcepta sunt vobis, sed ut singuli in eis viverent: quæ facientes longo perseveretis tempore in Terra, ad quam, Iordane transmisso, ingredimini possidendam.
48 And the Lord spake vnto Moses the selfe same day, saying,
Locutusque est Dominus ad Moysen in eadem die, dicens:
49 Goe vp into the mountaine of Abarim, vnto the mount Nebo, which is in the lande of Moab, that is ouer against Iericho: and beholde the lande of Canaan, which I giue vnto the children of Israel for a possession,
Ascende in montem istum Abarim, id est, transitum, in montem Nebo, qui est in Terra Moab contra Iericho: et vide Terram Chanaan, quam ego tradam filiis Israel obtinendam, et morere in monte.
50 And die in the mount which thou goest vp vnto, and thou shalt be gathered vnto thy people, as Aaron thy brother died in mount Hor, and was gathered vnto his people,
Quem conscendens iungeris populis tuis, sicut mortuus est Aaron frater tuus in monte Hor, et appositus populis suis:
51 Because ye trespassed against me among the children of Israel, at the waters of Meribah, at Kadesh in the wildernesse of Zin: for ye sanctified me not among the children of Israel.
quia prævaricati estis contra me in medio filiorum Israel ad Aquas contradictionis in Cades deserti Sin: et non sanctificastis me inter filios Israel.
52 Thou shalt therefore see the lande before thee, but shalt not go thither, I meane, into the land which I giue the children of Israel.
Econtra videbis terram, et non ingredieris in eam, quam ego dabo filiis Israel.
