Deuteronomy 8
1 All the commandments which I command you this day shall all of you observe to do, that all of you may live, and multiply, and go in and possess the land which the LORD swore unto your fathers.
Omne mandatum, quod ego praecipio tibi hodie, attende diligenter ut facias: ut possitis vivere, et multiplicemini, ingressique possideatis Terram, pro qua iuravit Dominus patribus vestris.
2 And you shall remember all the way which the LORD your God led you these forty years in the wilderness, to humble you, and to prove you, to know what was in your heart, whether you would keep his commandments, or no.
Et recordaberis cuncti itineris, per quod adduxit te Dominus Deus tuus quadraginta annis per desertum, ut affligeret te, atque tentaret, et nota fierent quae in tuo animo versabantur, utrum custodires mandata illius, an non.
3 And he humbled you, and suffered you to hunger, and fed you with manna, which you knew not, neither did your fathers know; that he might make you know that man does not live by bread only, but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of the LORD does man live.
Afflixit te penuria, et dedit tibi cibum Manna, quod ignorabas tu et patres tui: ut ostenderet tibi quod non in solo pane vivat homo, sed in omni verbo quod egreditur de ore Dei.
4 Your raiment waxed not old upon you, neither did your foot swell, these forty years.
Vestimentum tuum, quo operiebaris, nequaquam vetustate defecit, et pes tuus non est subtritus, en quadragesimus annus est.
5 You shall also consider in your heart, that, as a man chastens his son, so the LORD your God chastens you.
Ut recogites in corde tuo, quia sicut erudit filium suum homo, sic Dominus Deus tuus erudivit te,
6 Therefore you shall keep the commandments of the LORD your God, to walk in his ways, and to fear him.
ut custodias mandata Domini Dei tui, et ambules in viis eius, et timeas eum.
7 For the LORD your God brings you into a good land, a land of brooks of water, of fountains and depths that spring out of valleys and hills;
Dominus enim Deus tuus introducet te in terram bonam, terram rivorum aquarumque et fontium: in cuius campis et montibus erumpunt fluviorum abyssi:
8 A land of wheat, and barley, and vines, and fig trees, and pomegranates; a land of oil olive, and honey;
terram frumenti, hordei, ac vinearum, in qua ficus, et malogranata, et oliveta nascuntur: terram olei ac mellis.
9 A land wherein you shall eat bread without scarceness, you shall not lack any thing in it; a land whose stones are iron, and out of whose hills you may dig brass.
Ubi absque ulla penuria comedes panem tuum, et rerum omnium abundantia perfrueris: cuius lapides ferrum sunt, et de montibus eius aeris metalla fodiuntur:
10 When you have eaten and are full, then you shall bless the LORD your God for the good land which he has given you.
ut cum comederis, et satiatus fueris, benedicas Domino Deo tuo pro terra optima, quam dedit tibi.
11 Beware that you forget not the LORD your God, in not keeping his commandments, and his judgments, and his statutes, which I command you this day:
Observa, et cave nequando obliviscaris Domini Dei tui, et negligas mandata eius atque iudicia et ceremonias, quas ego praecipio tibi hodie:
12 Lest when you have eaten and are full, and have built goodly houses, and dwelt therein;
ne postquam comederis et satiatus fueris, domos pulchras aedificaveris, et habitaveris in eis,
13 And when your herds and your flocks multiply, and your silver and your gold is multiplied, and all that you have is multiplied;
habuerisque armenta boum et ovium greges, argenti et auri, cunctarumque rerum copiam,
14 Then your heart be lifted up, and you forget the LORD your God, which brought you forth out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage;
elevetur cor tuum, et non reminiscaris Domini Dei tui, qui eduxit te de Terra Aegypti, de domo servitutis:
15 Who led you through that great and terrible wilderness, wherein were fiery serpents, and scorpions, and drought, where there was no water; who brought you forth water out of the rock of flint;
et ductor tuus fuit in solitudine magna atque terribili, in qua erat serpens flatu adurens, et scorpio ac dipsas, et nullae omnino aquae: qui eduxit rivos de petra durissima,
16 Who fed you in the wilderness with manna, which your fathers knew not, that he might humble you, and that he might prove you, to do you good at your latter end;
et cibavit te Manna in solitudine, quod nescierunt patres tui. Et postquam afflixit ac probavit, ad extremum misertus est tui,
17 And you say in your heart, My power and the might of mine hand has got me this wealth.
ne diceres in corde tuo: Fortitudo mea, et robur manus meae, haec mihi omnia praestiterunt.
18 But you shall remember the LORD your God: for it is he that gives you power to get wealth, that he may establish his covenant which he swore unto your fathers, as it is this day.
Sed recorderis Domini Dei tui, quod ipse vires tibi praebuerit, ut impleret pactum suum super quo iuravit patribus tuis, sicut praesens indicat dies.
19 And it shall be, if you do at all forget the LORD your God, and walk after other gods, and serve them, and worship them, I testify against you this day that all of you shall surely perish.
Sin autem oblitus Domini Dei tui, secutus fueris deos alienos, coluerisque illos et adoraveris: ecce nunc praedico tibi quod omnino dispereas.
20 As the nations which the LORD destroys before your face, so shall all of you perish; because all of you would not be obedient unto the voice of the LORD your God.
Sicut Gentes, quas delevit Dominus in introitu tuo, ita et vos peribitis, si inobedientes fueritis voci Domini Dei vestri.
