Deuteronomy 27
1 And Moses and [the] elderly of Israel command the people, saying, “Keep all the command which I am commanding you today;
Præcepit autem Moyses et seniores Israel, populo dicentes: Custodite omne mandatum quod præcipio vobis hodie.
2 and it has been, in the day that you pass over the Jordan to the land which your God YHWH is giving to you, that you have raised up great stones for yourself, and plastered them with plaster,
Cumque transieritis Iordanem in Terram, quam Dominus Deus tuus dabit tibi, eriges ingentes lapides, et calce levigabis eos,
3 and written on them all the words of this law in your passing over, so that you go into the land which your God YHWH is giving to you—a land flowing with milk and honey, as YHWH, God of your fathers, has spoken to you.
ut possis in eis scribere omnia verba legis huius, Iordane transmisso: ut introeas Terram, quam Dominus Deus tuus dabit tibi, terram lacte et melle manantem, sicut iuravit patribus tuis.
4 And it has been, in your passing over the Jordan, you raise up these stones which I am commanding you today, in Mount Ebal, and you have plastered them with plaster,
Quando ergo transieritis Iordanem, erigite lapides, quos ego hodie præcipio vobis in monte Hebal, et levigabis eos calce:
5 and built an altar there to your God YHWH, an altar of stones; you do not wave iron over them.
et ædificabis ibi altare Domino Deo tuo de lapidibus, quos ferrum non tetigit,
6 You build the altar of your God YHWH [with] complete stones, and have caused burnt-offerings to ascend on it to your God YHWH,
et de saxis informibus et impolitis: et offeres super eo holocausta Domino Deo tuo,
7 and sacrificed peace-offerings, and eaten there, and rejoiced before your God YHWH,
et immolabis hostias pacificas, comedesque ibi, et epulaberis coram Domino Deo tuo.
8 and written on the stones all the words of this law, well engraved.”
Et scribes super lapides omnia verba legis huius plane et lucide.
9 And Moses speaks—the priests, the Levites, also—to all Israel, saying, “Keep silent and hear, O Israel: This day you have become a people for your God YHWH;
Dixeruntque Moyses et sacerdotes Levitici generis ad omnem Israelem: Attende, et audi Israel: Hodie factus es populus Domini Dei tui:
10 and you have listened to the voice of your God YHWH, and done His commands and His statutes which I am commanding you today.”
audies vocem eius, et facies mandata atque iustitias, quas ego præcipio tibi.
11 And Moses commands the people on that day, saying,
Præcepitque Moyses populo in die illo, dicens:
12 “These stand on Mount Gerizzim to bless the people, in your passing over the Jordan: Simeon, and Levi, and Judah, and Issachar, and Joseph, and Benjamin.
Hi stabunt ad benedicendum populo super montem Garizim, Iordane transmisso: Simeon, Levi, Iudas, Issachar, Ioseph, et Beniamin.
13 And these stand, for the reviling, on Mount Ebal: Reuben, Gad, and Asher, and Zebulun, Dan, and Naphtali.”
Et e regione isti stabunt ad maledicendum in monte Hebal: Ruben, Gad, et Aser, et Zabulon, Dan et Nephthali.
14 And the Levites have answered and said to every man of Israel [with] a loud voice:
Et pronunciabunt Levitæ, dicentque ad omnes viros Israel excelsa voce:
15 “Cursed [is] the man who makes a carved and molten image, an abomination [to] YHWH, work of the hands of a craftsman, and has put [it] in a secret place.” And all the people have answered and said, “Amen.”
Maledictus homo, qui facit sculptile et conflatile, abominationem Domini, opus manuum artificum, ponetque illud in abscondito. et respondebit omnis populus, et dicet: Amen.
16 “Cursed [is] he who is making light of his father and his mother.” And all the people have said, “Amen.”

20 “Cursed [is] he who is lying with his father’s wife, for he has uncovered his father’s skirt.” And all the people have said, “Amen.”

24 “Cursed [is] he who is striking his neighbor in secret.” And all the people have said, “Amen.”
Maledictus qui clam percusserit proximum suum. et dicet omnis populus: Amen.
25 “Cursed [is] he who is taking a bribe to strike a person, innocent blood.” And all the people have said, “Amen.”
Maledictus qui accipit munera, ut percutiat animam sanguinis innocentis. et dicet omnis populus: Amen.
26 “Cursed [is] he who does not establish the words of this law, to do them.” And all the people have said, “Amen.”
Maledictus qui non permanet in sermonibus legis huius, nec eos opere perficit. et dicet omnis populus: Amen.
