Deuteronomy 6
1 And this is the commandment, with the statutes, and the ordinances, which the Lord your God hath commanded to teach you, to do them in the land whither ye are passing over to possess it:
Hæc sunt præcepta, et ceremoniæ, atque iudicia, quæ mandavit Dominus Deus vester ut docerem vos, et faciatis ea in Terra, ad quam transgredimini possidendam:
2 In order that you mayest fear the Lord thy God, to keep all his statutes and his commandments, which I command thee, thou and thy son, and thy son's son, all the days of thy life; and in order that thy days may be prolonged.
ut timeas Dominum Deum tuum, et custodias omnia mandata et præcepta eius, quæ ego præcipio tibi, et filiis, ac nepotibus tuis, cunctis diebus vitæ tuæ, ut prolongentur dies tui.
3 Hear, therefore, O Israel, and observe to do them; that it may be well with thee, and that ye may increase greatly, as the Lord the God of thy fathers hath spoken to thee, [in] the land flowing with milk and honey.
Audi Israel, et observa ut facias quæ præcepit tibi Dominus, et bene sit tibi, et multipliceris amplius, sicut pollicitus est Dominus Deus patrum tuorum tibi terram lacte et melle manantem.
4 Hear, O Israel! The Lord, our God, is the One Eternal Being.
Audi Israel, Dominus Deus noster, Dominus unus est.
5 And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might.
Diliges Dominum Deum tuum ex toto corde tuo, et ex tota anima tua, et ex tota fortitudine tua.
6 And these words which I command thee this day, shall be in thy heart:
Eruntque verba hæc, quæ ego præcipio tibi hodie, in corde tuo:
7 And thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and thou shalt 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.
et narrabis ea filiis tuis, et meditaberis in eis sedens in domo tua, et ambulans in itinere, dormiens atque consurgens.
8 And thou shalt bind them for a sign upon thy hand, and they shall be as frontlets between thy eyes.
Et ligabis ea quasi signum in manu tua, eruntque et movebuntur inter oculos tuos,
9 And thou shalt write them upon the door-posts of thy house, and upon thy gates.
scribesque ea in limine, et ostiis domus tuæ.
10 And it shall be, when the Lord thy God shall bring thee into the land which he hath sworn unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give unto thee, great and goodly cities, which thou didst not build,
Cumque introduxerit te Dominus Deus tuus in Terram, pro qua iuravit patribus tuis Abraham, Isaac, et Iacob: et dederit tibi civitates magnas et optimas, quas non ædificasti,
11 And houses full of all good things, which thou didst not fill, and wells hewed out which thou didst not hew, vineyards and olive-trees, which thou didst not plant; and thou hast eaten and art satisfied:
domos plenas cunctarum opum, quas non extruxisti, cisternas, quas non fodisti, vineta et oliveta, quæ non plantasti,
12 Then beware that thou do not forget the Lord, who hath brought thee forth out of the land of Egypt, from the house of slavery.
et comederis, et saturatus fueris:
13 The Lord thy God shalt thou fear, and him shalt thou serve, and by his name shalt thou swear.
cave diligenter ne obliviscaris Domini, qui eduxit te de Terra Ægypti, de domo servitutis. Dominum Deum tuum timebis, et illi soli servies, ac per nomen illius iurabis.
14 Ye shall not go after other gods, of the gods of the nations which are round about you;
Non ibitis post deos alienos cunctarum Gentium, quæ in circuitu vestro sunt:
15 For the Lord thy God is a watchful God among you: so that the anger of the Lord thy God may not be kindled against thee, and he destroy thee from off the face of the earth.
quoniam Deus æmulator Dominus Deus tuus in medio tui: nequando irascatur furor Domini Dei tui contra te, et auferat te de superficie terræ.
16 Ye shall not tempt the Lord your God, as ye tempted him in Massah.
Non tentabis Dominum Deum tuum, sicut tentasti in loco tentationis.
17 Ye shall diligently keep the commandments of the Lord your God, and his testimonies, and his statutes, which he hath commanded thee.
Custodi præcepta Domini Dei tui, ac testimonia et ceremonias, quas præcepit tibi:
18 And thou shalt do that which is right and good in the eyes of the Lord; in order that it may be well with thee, and that thou mayest go in and take possession of the good land which the Lord hath sworn unto thy fathers,
et fac quod placitum est et bonum in conspectu Domini, ut bene sit tibi: et ingressus possideas terram optimam, de qua iuravit Dominus patribus tuis,
19 To cast out all thy enemies from before thee; as the Lord hath spoken.
ut deleret omnes inimicos tuos coram te, sicut locutus est.
20 When thy son should ask thee in time to come, saying, What mean the testimonies, and the statutes, and the ordinances, which the Lord our God hath commanded you?
Cumque interrogaverit te filius tuus cras, dicens: Quid sibi volunt testimonia hæc, et ceremoniæ, atque iudicia, quæ præcepit Dominus Deus noster nobis?
21 Then shalt thou say unto thy son, We were bondmen unto Pharaoh in Egypt; and the Lord brought us out of Egypt with a mighty hand;
Dices ei: Servi eramus Pharaonis in Ægypto, et eduxit nos Dominus de Ægypto in manu forti:
22 And the Lord let come signs and wonders, great and sore, on Egypt, on Pharaoh, and on all his household, before our eyes;
fecitque signa atque prodigia magna et pessima in Ægypto contra Pharaonem, et omnem domum illius in conspectu nostro,
23 And us he brought out from there; in order to bring us in, to give us the land which he had sworn unto our fathers.
et eduxit nos inde, ut introductis daret Terram, super qua iuravit patribus nostris.
24 And the Lord commanded us to do all these statutes, to fear the Lord our God; that it might be well with us at all times, and that he might preserve us alive, as it is at this day.
Præcepitque nobis Dominus ut faciamus omnia legitima hæc, et timeamus Dominum Deum nostrum, ut bene sit nobis cunctis diebus vitæ nostræ, sicut est hodie.
25 And it shall be accounted righteousness unto us, if we observe to do all this commandment before the Lord our God, as he hath commanded us.
Eritque nostri misericors, si custodierimus et fecerimus omnia præcepta eius coram Domino Deo nostro, sicut mandavit nobis.
