Deuteronomy 29

1 These are the words of the covenant which the LORD commanded Moses to make with the children of Israel in the land of Moab, beside the covenant which He made with them in Horeb.

Haec sunt verba foederis quod praecepit Dominus Moysi ut feriret cum filiis Israel in Terra Moab: praeter illud foedus, quod cum eis pepigit in Horeb.

2 And Moses called unto all Israel, and said unto them: Ye have seen all that the LORD did before your eyes in the land of Egypt unto Pharaoh, and unto all his servants, and unto all his land;

Vocavitque Moyses omnem Israel, et dixit ad eos: Vos vidistis universa, quae fecit Dominus coram vobis in Terra Aegypti Pharaoni, et omnibus servis eius, universaeque terrae illius,

3 the great trials which thine eyes saw, the signs and those great wonders;

tentationes magnas, quas viderunt oculi tui, signa illa, portentaque ingentia,

4 but the LORD hath not given you a heart to know, and eyes to see, and ears to hear, unto this day.

et non dedit vobis Dominus cor intelligens, et oculos videntes, et aures quae possunt audire, usque in praesentem diem.

5 And I have led you forty years in the wilderness; your clothes are not waxen old upon you, and thy shoe is not waxen old upon thy foot.

Adduxit vos quadraginta annis per desertum: non sunt attrita vestimenta vestra, nec calceamenta pedum vestrorum vetustate consumpta sunt.

6 Ye have not eaten bread, neither have ye drunk wine or strong drink; that ye might know that I am the LORD your God.

Panem non comedistis, vinum et siceram non bibistis: ut sciretis quia ipsa est Dominus Deus vester.

7 And when ye came unto this place, Sihon the king of Heshbon, and Og the king of Bashan, came out against us unto battle, and we smote them.

Et venistis ad hunc locum: egressusque est Sehon rex Hesebon, et Og rex Basan, occurrentes nobis ad pugnam. Et percussimus eos,

8 And we took their land, and gave it for an inheritance unto the Reubenites, and to the Gadites, and to the half-tribe of the Manassites.

et tulimus terram eorum, ac tradidimus possidendam Ruben et Gad, et dimidiae tribui Manasse.

9 Observe therefore the words of this covenant, and do them, that ye may make all that ye do to prosper.

Custodite ergo verba pacti huius, et implete ea: ut intelligatis universa quae facitis.

10 Ye are standing this day all of you before the LORD your God: your heads, your tribes, your elders, and your officers, even all the men of Israel,

Vos statis hodie cuncti coram Domino Deo vestro, principes vestri, et tribus, ac maiores natu, atque doctores, omnis populus Israel,

11 your little ones, your wives, and thy stranger that is in the midst of thy camp, from the hewer of thy wood unto the drawer of thy water;

liberi et uxores vestrae, et advenae qui tecum morantur in castris, exceptis lignorum caesoribus, et his, qui comportant aquas:

12 that thou shouldest enter into the covenant of the LORD thy God — and into His oath — which the LORD thy God maketh with thee this day;

ut transeas in foedere Domini Dei tui, et in iureiurando quod hodie Dominus Deus tuus percutit tecum:

13 that He may establish thee this day unto Himself for a people, and that He may be unto thee a God, as He spoke unto thee, and as He swore unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to 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 Neither with you only do I make this covenant and this oath;

Nec vobis solis ego hoc foedus ferio, et haec iuramenta confirmo,

15 but with him that standeth here with us this day before the LORD our God, and also with him that is not here with us this day —

sed cunctis praesentibus et absentibus.

16 for ye know how we dwelt in the land of Egypt; and how we came through the midst of the nations through which ye passed;

Vos enim nostis quo modo habitaverimus in Terra Aegypti, et quo modo transierimus per medium nationum, quas transeuntes

17 and ye have seen their detestable things, and their idols, wood and stone, silver and gold, which were with them —

vidistis abominationes et sordes, id est, idola eorum, lignum et lapidem, argentum et aurum, quae colebant.

18 lest there should be among you man, or woman, or family, or tribe, whose heart turneth away this day from the LORD our God, to go to serve the gods of those nations; lest there should be among you a root that beareth gall and wormwood;

Ne forte sit inter vos vir aut mulier, familia aut tribus, cuius cor aversum est hodie a Domino Deo nostro: ut vadat et serviat diis illarum Gentium: et sit inter vos radix germinans fel et amaritudinem.

19 and it come to pass, when he heareth the words of this curse, that he bless himself in his heart, saying: 'I shall have peace, though I walk in the stubbornness of my heart — that the watered be swept away with the dry';

Cumque audierit verba iuramenti huius, benedicat sibi in corde suo, dicens: Pax erit mihi, et ambulabo in pravitate cordis mei: et assumat ebria sitientem,

20 the LORD will not be willing to pardon him, but then the anger of the LORD and His jealousy shall be kindled against that man, and all the curse that is written in this book shall lie upon him, and the LORD shall blot out his name from under heaven;

et Dominus non ignoscat ei: sed tunc quammaxime furor eius fumet, et zelus contra hominem illum, et sedeant super eum omnia maledicta, quae scripta sunt in hoc volumine: et deleat Dominus nomen eius sub caelo,

21 and the LORD shall separate him unto evil out of all the tribes of Israel, according to all the curses of the covenant that is written in this book of the law.

et consumat eum in perditionem ex omnibus tribubus Israel, iuxta maledictiones, quae in Libro legis huius ac foederis continentur.

22 And the generation to come, your children that shall rise up after you, and the foreigner that shall come from a far land, shall say, when they see the plagues of that land, and the sicknesses wherewith the LORD hath made it sick;

Dicetque sequens generatio, et filii qui nascentur deinceps, et peregrini, qui de longe venerint, videntes plagas Terrae illius, et infirmitates, quibus eam afflixerit Dominus,

23 and that the whole land thereof is brimstone, and salt, and a burning, that it is not sown, nor beareth, nor any grass groweth therein, like the overthrow of Sodom and Gomorrah, Admah and Zeboiim, which the LORD overthrew in His anger, and in His wrath;

sulphure, et salis ardore comburens, ita ut ultra non seratur, nec virens quippiam germinet, in exemplum subversionis Sodomae et Gomorrhae, Adamae et Seboim, quas subvertit Dominus in ira et furore suo.

24 even all the nations shall say 'Wherefore hath the LORD done thus unto this land? what meaneth the heat of this great anger?'

Et dicent omnes Gentes: Quare sic fecit Dominus Terrae huic? quae est haec ira furoris eius immensa?

25 then men shall say: 'Because they forsook the covenant of the LORD, the God of their fathers, which He made with them when He brought them forth out of the land of Egypt;

Et respondebunt: Quia dereliquerunt pactum Domini, quod pepigit cum patribus eorum, quando eduxit eos de Terra Aegypti:

26 and went and served other gods, and worshipped them, gods that they knew not, and that He had not allotted unto them;

et servierunt diis alienis, et adoraverunt eos, quos nesciebant, et quibus non fuerant attributi:

27 therefore the anger of the LORD was kindled against this land, to bring upon it all the curse that is 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 and the LORD rooted them out of their land in anger, and in wrath, and in great indignation, and cast them into another land, as it is this day'. —

et eiecit eos de terra sua in ira et in furore, et in indignatione maxima, proiecitque in terram alienam, sicut hodie comprobatur.

29 The secret things belong unto the LORD our God; but the things that are revealed belong unto us and to our children for ever, that we may do all the words of this law.

Abscondita, Domino Deo nostro: quae manifesta sunt, nobis et filiis nostris usque in sempiternum, ut faciamus universa verba legis huius.
