Deuteronomy 11
1 Thou shalt therefore love the Lord thy God, and keep his charge, and his statutes, and his ordinances, and his commandments, all the days.
Ama itaque Dominum Deum tuum, et observa praecepta eius et ceremonias, iudicia atque mandata omni tempore.
2 And ye shall know this day, that [I speak] not with your children who have not known, and who have not seen the chastisement of the Lord your God, his greatness, his strong hand, and his outstretched arm;
Cognoscite hodie quae ignorant filii vestri, qui non viderunt disciplinam Domini Dei vestri, magnalia eius et robustam manum, extentumque brachium,
3 And his signs, and his acts, which he displayed in the midst of Egypt, unto Pharaoh the king of Egypt, and unto all his land;
signa et opera quae fecit in medio Aegypti Pharaoni regi, et universae terrae eius,
4 And what he did unto the army of Egypt, unto its horses, and to its chariots; over whom he caused the water of the Red Sea to flow, as they pursued after you, and whom the Lord destroyed unto this day;
omnique exercitui Aegyptiorum, et equis ac curribus: quo modo operuerint eos aquae maris rubri, cum vos persequerentur, et deleverit eos Dominus usque in praesentem diem:
5 And what he did unto you in the wilderness, until ye came unto this place;
vobisque quae fecerit in solitudine donec veniretis ad hunc locum:
6 And what he did unto Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab, the son of Reuben; how the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed them up, and their households, and their tents, and all the living substance that followed them, in the midst of all Israel;
et Dathan atque Abiron filiis Eliab, qui fuit filius Ruben: quos aperto ore suo terra absorbuit cum domibus et tabernaculis, et universa substantia eorum, quam habebant in medio Israel.
7 But it is your own eyes which have seen all the great acts of the Lord which he hath done.
Oculi vestri viderunt opera Domini magna quae fecit,
8 Ye shall therefore keep all the commandment which I command you this day, that ye may be strong, and go in and take possession of the land, whither ye go over to possess it;
ut custodiatis universa mandata illius, quae ego hodie praecipio vobis, et possitis introire, et possidere Terram, ad quam ingredimini,
9 And in order that ye may live many days in the land, which the Lord hath sworn unto your fathers to give unto them and to their seed, a land flowing with milk and honey.
multoque in ea vivatis tempore: quam sub iuramento pollicitus est Dominus patribus vestris, et semini eorum, lacte et melle manantem.
10 For the land, whither thou goest in to possess it, is not like the land of Egypt, from where ye came out, where thou sowest thy seed, and waterest it with thy foot, as a garden of herbs;
Terra enim, ad quam ingredieris possidendam, non est sicut Terra Aegypti, de qua existi, ubi iacto semine in hortorum morem aquae ducuntur irriguae:
11 But the land, whither ye go over to possess it, is a land of mountains and valleys, from the rain of heaven doth it drink water.
sed montuosa est et campestris, de caelo expectans pluvias.
12 A land which the Lord thy God careth for; always are the eyes of the Lord thy God upon it, from the beginning of the year even unto the end of the year.
quam Dominus Deus tuus semper invisit, et oculi illius in ea sunt a principio anni usque ad finem eius.
13 And it shall come to pass, if ye will hearken diligently unto my commandments which I command you this day, to love the Lord your God, and to serve him with all your heart and with all your soul,
Si ergo obedieritis mandatis meis, quae ego hodie praecipio vobis, ut diligatis Dominum Deum vestrum, et serviatis ei in toto corde vestro, et in tota anima vestra:
14 That I will send rain for your land in its due season, the first rain and the latter rain, that thou mayest gather in thy corn, and thy wine, and thy oil.
dabit pluviam terrae vestrae temporaneam et serotinam, ut colligatis frumentum, et vinum, et oleum,
15 And I will give grass in thy field for thy cattle; and thou shalt eat and be satisfied,
foenumque ex agris ad pascenda iumenta, et ut ipsi comedatis ac saturemini.
16 Take heed to yourselves, that your heart be not deceived, and ye turn aside, and serve other gods, and worship them;
Cavete ne forte decipiatur cor vestrum, et recedatis a Domino, serviatisque diis alienis, et adoretis eos:
17 [For] then the Lord's wrath will be kindled against you, and he will shut up the heavens that there be no rain, and the land will not yield her products; and ye shall perish quickly from off the good land which the Lord giveth unto you.
iratusque Dominus claudat caelum, et pluviae non descendant, nec terra det germen suum, pereatisque velociter de Terra optima, quam Dominus daturus est vobis.
18 Therefore shall ye lay up these my words in your heart and in your soul; and ye shall bind them for a sign upon your hand, and they shall be as frontlets between your eyes.
Ponite haec verba mea in cordibus et in animis vestris, et suspendite ea pro signo in manibus, et inter oculos vestros collocate.
19 And ye shall teach them to your children, to speak of them when thou sittest in thy house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up.
Docete filios vestros ut illa meditentur, quando sederis in domo tua, et ambulaveris in via, et accubueris atque surrexeris.
20 And thou shalt write them upon the door-posts of thy house, and upon thy gates.
Scribes ea super postes et ianuas domus tuae:
21 In order that your days may be multiplied, and the days of your children, in the land which the Lord swore unto your fathers to give unto them, as the days of the heavens over the earth.
ut multiplicentur dies tui, et filiorum tuorum in Terra, quam iuravit Dominus patribus tuis, ut daret eis quamdiu caelum imminet terrae.
22 For if ye will diligently keep all this commandment which I command you, in order to do it, to love the Lord your God, to walk in all his ways, and to cleave unto him:
Si enim custodieritis mandata quae ego praecipio vobis, et feceritis ea, ut diligatis Dominum Deum vestrum, et ambuletis in omnibus viis eius, adhaerentes ei,
23 Then will the Lord drive out all these nations from before you, and ye shall supplant nations greater and mightier than yourselves.
disperdet Dominus omnes gentes istas ante faciem vestram, et possidebitis eas, quae maiores et fortiores vobis sunt.
24 Every place whereon the sole of your foot may tread shall be yours: from the wilderness and the Lebanon, from the river, the river Euphrates, even unto the Western Sea shall be your boundary.
Omnis locus, quem calcaverit pes vester, vester erit. A deserto, et a Libano, a flumine magno Euphrate usque ad mare occidentale erunt termini vestri.
25 There shall no man be able to stand up before you; the dread of you and the fear of you will the Lord your God lay upon all the land which ye may tread upon, as he hath spoken unto you.
Nullus stabit contra vos: terrorem vestrum et formidinem dabit Dominus Deus vester super omnem terram quam calcaturi estis, sicut locutus est vobis.
26 Behold, I lay before you this day a blessing and a curse:
En propono in conspectu vestro hodie benedictionem et maledictionem:
27 The blessing, if ye will hearken unto the commandments of the Lord your God, which I command you this day;
benedictionem, si obedieritis mandatis Domini Dei vestri, quae ego hodie praecipio vobis:
28 And the curse, if ye will not hearken unto the commandments of the Lord your God, and ye turn aside out of the way which I command you this day, to go after other gods, which ye know not.
maledictionem, si non obedieritis mandatis Domini Dei vestri, sed recesseritis de via, quam ego nunc ostendo vobis, et ambulaveritis post deos alienos, quos ignoratis.
29 And it shall come to pass, when the Lord thy God shall have brought thee in unto the land whither thou goest to possess it, that thou shalt put the blessing upon mount Gerizzim, and the curse upon mount 'Ebal.
Cum vero introduxerit te Dominus Deus tuus in Terram, ad quam pergis habitandam, pones benedictionem super montem Garizim, maledictionem super montem Hebal:
30 Behold, they are on the other side of the Jordan, far away in the direction of the going down of the sun, in the land of the Canaanites, who dwell in the plain, opposite Gilgal, near the grove of Moreh.
qui sunt trans Iordanem post viam, quae vergit ad solis occubitum in Terra Chananaei, qui habitat in campestribus contra Galgalam, quae est iuxta vallem tendentem et intrantem procul.
31 For ye are about to pass over the Jordan to go in to take possession of the land which the Lord your God giveth you; and ye will possess it, and dwell therein.
Vos enim transibitis Iordanem, ut possideatis Terram, quam Dominus Deus vester daturus est vobis, ut habeatis et possideatis illam.
32 And ye shall then observe to do all the statutes and ordinances which I set before you this day.
Videte ergo ut impleatis ceremonias atque iudicia, quae ego hodie ponam in conspectu vestro.
