< Deuteronomy 1 >

1 These bee the wordes which Moses spake vnto all Israel, on this side Iorden in the wildernesse, in the plaine, ouer against the red Sea, betweene Paran and Tophel, and Laban, and Hazeroth, and Di-zahab.
haec sunt verba quae locutus est Moses ad omnem Israhel trans Iordanem in solitudine campestri contra mare Rubrum inter Pharan et Thophel et Laban et Aseroth ubi auri est plurimum
2 There are eleuen dayes iourney from Horeb vnto Kadesh-barnea, by the way of mout Seir.
undecim diebus de Horeb per viam montis Seir usque Cadesbarne
3 And it came to passe in the first day of the eleuenth moneth, in the fourtieth yeere that Moses spake vnto the children of Israel according vnto all that the Lord had giuen him in commandement vnto them,
quadragesimo anno undecimo mense prima die mensis locutus est Moses ad filios Israhel omnia quae praeceperat illi Dominus ut diceret eis
4 After that he had slaine Sihon the king of the Amorites which dwelt in Heshbon, and Og king of Bashan, which dwelt at Ashtaroth in Edrei.
postquam percussit Seon regem Amorreorum qui habitavit in Esebon et Og regem Basan qui mansit in Aseroth et in Edrai
5 On this side Iorden in the lande of Moab began Moses to declare this lawe, saying,
trans Iordanem in terra Moab coepitque Moses explanare legem et dicere
6 The Lord our God spake vnto vs in Horeb, saying, Ye haue dwelt long ynough in this mount,
Dominus Deus noster locutus est ad nos in Horeb dicens sufficit vobis quod in hoc monte mansistis
7 Turne you and depart, and goe vnto the mountaine of the Amorites, and vnto all places neere thereunto in the plaine, in the mountaine, or in the valley: both Southwarde, and to the Sea side, to the land of the Canaanites, and vnto Lebanon: euen vnto the great riuer, the riuer Perath.
revertimini et venite ad montem Amorreorum et ad cetera quae ei proxima sunt campestria atque montana et humiliora loca contra meridiem et iuxta litus maris terram Chananeorum et Libani usque ad flumen magnum Eufraten
8 Beholde, I haue set the land before you: go in and possesse that land which the Lord sware vnto your fathers, Abraham, Izhak, and Iaakob, to giue vnto them and to their seede after them.
en inquit tradidi vobis ingredimini et possidete eam super qua iuravit Dominus patribus vestris Abraham et Isaac et Iacob ut daret illam eis et semini eorum post eos
9 And I spake vnto you the same time, saying, I am not able to beare you my selfe alone:
dixique vobis illo in tempore
10 The Lord your God hath multiplied you: and beholde, ye are this day as the starres of heauen in nomber:
non possum solus sustinere vos quia Dominus Deus vester multiplicavit vos et estis hodie sicut stellae caeli plurimae
11 (The Lord God of your fathers make you a thousand times so many moe as ye are, and blesse you, as he hath promised you)
Dominus Deus patrum vestrorum addat ad hunc numerum multa milia et benedicat vobis sicut locutus est
12 Howe can I alone beare your combrance and your charge, and your strife?
non valeo solus vestra negotia sustinere et pondus ac iurgia
13 Bring you men of wisedome and of vnderstanding, and knowen among your tribes, and I will make them rulers ouer you:
date e vobis viros sapientes et gnaros et quorum conversatio sit probata in tribubus vestris ut ponam eos vobis principes
14 Then ye answered me and said, The thing is good that thou hast commanded vs to doe.
tunc respondistis mihi bona res est quam vis facere
15 So I tooke the chiefe of your tribes wise and knowen men, and made them rulers ouer you, captaines ouer thousands, and captaines ouer hundreds, and captaines ouer fiftie, and captaines ouer tenne, and officers among your tribes.
tulique de tribubus vestris viros sapientes et nobiles et constitui eos principes tribunos et centuriones et quinquagenarios ac decanos qui docerent vos singula
16 And I charged your iudges that same time, saying, Heare the controuersies betweene your brethren, and iudge righteously betweene euery man and his brother, and the stranger that is with him.
praecepique eis dicens audite illos et quod iustum est iudicate sive civis sit ille sive peregrinus
17 Ye shall haue no respect of person in iudgement, but shall heare the small aswell as the great: yee shall not feare the face of man: for the iudgement is Gods: and the cause that is too hard for you, bring vnto me, and I will heare it.
nulla erit distantia personarum ita parvum audietis ut magnum nec accipietis cuiusquam personam quia Dei iudicium est quod si difficile vobis aliquid visum fuerit referte ad me et ego audiam
18 Also I commanded you the same time all the things which ye should doe.
praecepique omnia quae facere deberetis
19 Then we departed from Horeb, and went through all that great and terrible wildernesse (as yee haue seene) by the way of the mountaine of the Amorites, as the Lord our God commanded vs: and we came to Kadesh-barnea.
profecti autem de Horeb transivimus per heremum terribilem et maximam quam vidistis per viam montis Amorrei sicut praeceperat Dominus Deus noster nobis cumque venissemus in Cadesbarne
20 And I saide vnto you, Yee are come vnto the mountaine of the Amorites, which the Lord our God doeth giue vnto vs.
dixi vobis venistis ad montem Amorrei quem Dominus Deus noster daturus est nobis
21 Beholde, the Lord thy God hath layde the land before thee: go vp and possesse it, as the Lord the God of thy fathers hath saide vnto thee: feare not, neither be discouraged.
vide terram quam Dominus Deus tuus dat tibi ascende et posside eam sicut locutus est Dominus Deus patribus tuis noli metuere nec quicquam paveas
22 Then ye came vnto me euery one, and said, We wil send men before vs, to search vs out the land and to bring vs word againe, what way we must go vp by, and vnto what cities we shall come.
et accessistis ad me omnes atque dixistis mittamus viros qui considerent terram et renuntient per quod iter debeamus ascendere et ad quas pergere civitates
23 So the saying pleased me well, and I tooke twelue men of you, of euery tribe one.
cumque mihi sermo placuisset misi e vobis duodecim viros singulos de tribubus suis
24 Who departed, and went vp into the mountaine, and came vnto the riuer Eshcol, and searched out the land.
qui cum perrexissent et ascendissent in montana venerunt usque ad vallem Botri et considerata terra
25 And tooke of the fruite of the land in their hands, and brought it vnto vs, and brought vs worde againe, and sayd, It is a good land, which the Lord our God doeth giue vs.
sumentes de fructibus eius ut ostenderent ubertatem adtulerunt ad nos atque dixerunt bona est terra quam Dominus Deus noster daturus est nobis
26 Notwithstanding, ye would not go vp, but were disobedient vnto the commandement of the Lord your God,
et noluistis ascendere sed increduli ad sermonem Domini Dei nostri
27 And murmured in your tentes, and sayd, Because the Lord hated vs, therefore hath hee brought vs out of the land of Egypt, to deliuer vs into the hand of the Amorites, and to destroy vs.
murmurati estis in tabernaculis vestris atque dixistis odit nos Dominus et idcirco eduxit nos de terra Aegypti ut traderet in manu Amorrei atque deleret
28 Whither shall we go vp? our brethren haue discouraged our hearts, saying, The people is greater, and taller then we: the cities are great and walled vp to heauen: and moreouer we haue seene the sonnes of the Anakims there.
quo ascendemus nuntii terruerunt cor nostrum dicentes maxima multitudo est et nobis in statura procerior urbes magnae et ad caelum usque munitae filios Enacim vidimus ibi
29 But I sayd vnto you, Dread not, nor be afrayd of them.
et dixi vobis nolite metuere nec timeatis eos
30 The Lord your God, who goeth before you, he shall fight for you, according to all that he did vnto you in Egypt before your eyes,
Dominus Deus qui ductor est vester pro vobis ipse pugnabit sicut fecit in Aegypto videntibus cunctis
31 And in the wildernesse, where thou hast seene how the Lord thy God bare thee, as a man doeth beare his sonne, in all the way which ye haue gone, vntill ye came vnto this place.
et in solitudine ipse vidisti portavit te Dominus Deus tuus ut solet homo gestare parvulum filium suum in omni via per quam ambulasti donec veniretis ad locum istum
32 Yet for all this ye did not beleeue the Lord your God,
et nec sic quidem credidistis Domino Deo vestro
33 Who went in the way before you, to search you out a place to pitch your tentes in, in fire by night, that ye might see what way to goe, and in a cloude by day.
qui praecessit vos in via et metatus est locum in quo tentoria figere deberetis nocte ostendens vobis iter per ignem et die per columnam nubis
34 Then the Lord heard the voyce of your wordes, and was wroth, and sware, saying,
cumque audisset Dominus vocem sermonum vestrorum iratus iuravit et ait
35 Surely there shall not one of these men of this froward generation, see that good land, which I sware to giue vnto your fathers,
non videbit quispiam de hominibus generationis huius pessimae terram bonam quam sub iuramento pollicitus sum patribus vestris
36 Saue Caleb the sonne of Iephunneh: he shall see it, and to him will I giue the land that he hath troden vpon, and to his children, because he hath constantly followed the Lord.
praeter Chaleb filium Iepphonne ipse enim videbit eam et ipsi dabo terram quam calcavit et filiis eius quia secutus est Dominum
37 Also the Lord was angry with me for your sakes, saying, Thou also shalt not goe in thither,
nec miranda indignatio in populum cum mihi quoque iratus Dominus propter vos dixerit nec tu ingredieris illuc
38 But Ioshua the sonne of Nun which standeth before thee, he shall go in thither: incourage him: for he shall cause Israel to inherite it.
sed Iosue filius Nun minister tuus ipse intrabit pro te hunc exhortare et robora et ipse terram sorte dividat Israheli
39 Moreouer, your children, which ye sayd should be a praye, and your sonnes, which in that day had no knowledge betweene good and euill, they shall go in thither, and vnto them wil I giue it, and they shall possesse it.
parvuli vestri de quibus dixistis quod captivi ducerentur et filii qui hodie boni ac mali ignorant distantiam ipsi ingredientur et ipsis dabo terram et possidebunt eam
40 But as for you, turne backe, and take your iourney into the wildernesse by the way of the red Sea.
vos autem revertimini et abite in solitudinem per viam maris Rubri
41 Then ye answered and sayd vnto me, We haue sinned against the Lord, we wil go vp, and fight, according to all that the Lord our God hath commanded vs: and ye armed you euery man to the warre, and were ready to goe vp into the mountaine.
et respondistis mihi peccavimus Domino ascendemus atque pugnabimus sicut praecepit Dominus Deus noster cumque instructi armis pergeretis in montem
42 But the Lord said vnto me, Say vnto them, Goe not vp, neither fight, (for I am not among you) least ye fall before your enemies.
ait mihi Dominus dic ad eos nolite ascendere neque pugnetis non enim sum vobiscum ne cadatis coram inimicis vestris
43 And when I told you, ye would not heare, but rebelled against the commandement of the Lord, and were presumptuous, and went vp into the mountaine.
locutus sum et non audistis sed adversantes imperio Domini et tumentes superbia ascendistis in montem
44 Then the Amorites which dwelt in that mountaine came out against you, and chased you (as bees vse to doe) and destroied you in Seir, euen vnto Hormah.
itaque egressus Amorreus qui habitabat in montibus et obviam veniens persecutus est vos sicut solent apes persequi et cecidit de Seir usque Horma
45 And when ye came againe, ye wept before the Lord, but the Lord would not heare your voyce, nor incline his eares vnto you.
cumque reversi ploraretis coram Domino non audivit vos nec voci vestrae voluit adquiescere
46 So ye abode in Kadesh a long time, according to the time that ye had remained before.
sedistis ergo in Cadesbarne multo tempore
