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.
Hæc sunt verba fœderis quod præcepit Dominus Moysi ut feriret cum filiis Israel in Terra Moab: præter illud fœdus, 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, quæ fecit Dominus coram vobis in Terra Ægypti Pharaoni, et omnibus servis eius, universæque terræ illius,
3 The great temptations which thine eyes have seen, the signs, and those great miracles:
tentationes magnas, quas viderunt oculi tui, signa illa, portentaque ingentia,
4 Yet the LORD hath not given you an heart to perceive, and eyes to see, and ears to hear, unto this day.
et non dedit vobis Dominus cor intelligens, et oculos videntes, et aures quæ possunt audire, usque in præsentem 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 ego sum 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 Manasseh.
et tulimus terram eorum, ac tradidimus possidendam Ruben et Gad, et dimidiæ tribui Manasse.
9 Keep therefore the words of this covenant, and do them, that ye may prosper in all that ye do.
Custodite ergo verba pacti huius, et implete ea: ut intelligatis universa quæ facitis.
10 Ye stand this day all of you before the LORD your God; your captains of your tribes, your elders, and your officers, [with] 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 thy camp, from the hewer of thy wood unto the drawer of thy water:
liberi et uxores vestræ, et advena qui tecum moratur in castris, exceptis lignorum cæsoribus, et his, qui comportant aquas:
12 That thou shouldest enter into covenant with the LORD thy God, and into his oath, which the LORD thy God maketh with thee this day:
ut transeas in fœdere Domini Dei tui, et in iureiurando quod hodie Dominus Deus tuus percutit tecum:
13 That he may establish thee to day for a people unto himself, and [that] he may be unto thee a God, as he hath said unto thee, and as he hath sworn 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 fœdus ferio, et hæc 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 præsentibus et absentibus.
16 (For ye know how we have dwelt in the land of Egypt; and how we came through the nations which ye passed by;
Vos enim nostis quomodo habitaverimus in Terra Ægypti, et quo modo transierimus per medium nationum, quas transeuntes
17 And ye have seen their abominations, and their idols, wood and stone, silver and gold, which [were] among them: )
vidistis abominationes et sordes, id est, idola eorum, lignum et lapidem, argentum et aurum, quæ 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 [and] serve the gods of these 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 imagination of mine heart, to add drunkenness to thirst:
Cumque audierit verba iuramenti huius, benedicat sibi in corde suo, dicens: Pax erit mihi, et ambulabo in pravitate cordis mei: et absumat ebria sitientem,
20 The LORD will not spare him, but then the anger of the LORD and his jealousy shall smoke against that man, and all the curses that are 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, quæ scripta sunt in hoc volumine: et deleat Dominus nomen eius sub cælo,
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 are written in this book of the law:
et consumat eum in perditionem ex omnibus tribubus Israel, iuxta maledictiones, quæ in Libro legis huius ac fœderis continentur.
22 So that the generation to come of your children that shall rise up after you, and the stranger that shall come from a far land, shall say, when they see the plagues of that land, and the sicknesses which the LORD hath laid upon it;
Dicetque sequens generatio, et filii qui nascentur deinceps, et peregrini, qui de longe venerint, videntes plagas Terræ illius, et infirmitates, quibus eam afflixerit Dominus,
23 [And that] the whole land thereof [is] brimstone, and salt, [and] burning, [that] it is not sown, nor beareth, nor any grass groweth therein, like the overthrow of Sodom, and Gomorrah, Admah, and Zeboim, 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 Sodomæ et Gomorrhæ, Adamæ et Seboim, quas subvertit Dominus in ira et furore suo.
24 Even all 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 Terræ huic? quæ est hæc ira furoris eius immensa?
25 Then men shall say, Because they have forsaken the covenant of the LORD 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 Ægypti:
26 For they went and served other gods, and worshipped them, gods whom they knew not, and [whom] he had not given unto them:
et servierunt diis alienis, et adoraverunt eos, quos nesciebant, et quibus non fuerant attributi:
27 And the anger of the LORD was kindled against this land, to bring upon it all the curses that are written in this book:
idcirco iratus est furor Domini contra Terram istam, ut induceret super eam omnia maledicta, quæ 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 those [things which 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: quæ manifesta sunt, nobis et filiis nostris usque in sempiternum, ut faciamus universa verba legis huius.
