Deuteronomy 6
1 “And this [is] the command, the statutes and the judgments which your God YHWH has commanded to teach you to do in the land which you are passing over there 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 so that you fear your God YHWH, to keep all His statutes and His commands which I am commanding you, you, and your son, and your son’s son, all [the] days of your life, and so that your days are 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 And you have heard, O Israel, and observed to do [them], that it may be well with you, and that you may multiply exceedingly, as YHWH, God of your fathers, has spoken to you, [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: Our God YHWH—YHWH [is] one!
Audi Israel, Dominus Deus noster, Dominus unus est.
5 And you have loved your God YHWH with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your 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 am commanding you today have been on your heart,
Eruntque verba hæc, quæ ego præcipio tibi hodie, in corde tuo:
7 and you have repeated them to your sons, and spoken of them in your sitting in your house, and in your walking in the way, and in your lying down, and in your rising up,
et narrabis ea filiis tuis, et meditaberis in eis sedens in domo tua, et ambulans in itinere, dormiens atque consurgens.
8 and have bound them for a sign on your hand, and they have been for frontlets between your eyes,
Et ligabis ea quasi signum in manu tua, eruntque et movebuntur inter oculos tuos,
9 and you have written them on doorposts of your house and on your gates.
scribesque ea in limine, et ostiis domus tuæ.
10 And it has been, when your God YHWH brings you into the land which He has sworn to your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give to you great and good cities which you have not built,
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 you have not filled, and wells dug which you have not dug, vineyards and olive-yards which you have not planted, that you have eaten and been satisfied.
domos plenas cunctarum opum, quas non extruxisti, cisternas, quas non fodisti, vineta et oliveta, quæ non plantasti,
12 Take heed to yourself lest you forget YHWH who has brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of a house of servants.
et comederis, et saturatus fueris:
13 You fear your God YHWH, and you serve Him, and you swear by His Name.
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 You do not go after other gods, of the gods of the peoples who [are] around you,
Non ibitis post deos alienos cunctarum Gentium, quæ in circuitu vestro sunt:
15 for your God YHWH [is] a zealous God in your midst—lest the anger of your God YHWH burns against you, and He has destroyed you from off the face of the ground.
quoniam Deus æmulator Dominus Deus tuus in medio tui: nequando irascatur furor Domini Dei tui contra te, et auferat te de superficie terræ.
16 You do not try your God YHWH as you tried [Him] in Massah.
Non tentabis Dominum Deum tuum, sicut tentasti in loco tentationis.
17 You diligently keep the commands of your God YHWH, and His testimonies and His statutes which He has commanded you,
Custodi præcepta Domini Dei tui, ac testimonia et ceremonias, quas præcepit tibi:
18 and you have done that which is right and good in the eyes of YHWH, so that it is well with you, and you have gone in and possessed the good land which YHWH has sworn to your 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 drive away all your enemies from your presence, as YHWH has spoken.
ut deleret omnes inimicos tuos coram te, sicut locutus est.
20 When your son asks you hereafter, saying, What [are] the testimonies, and the statutes, and the judgments which our God YHWH has 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 you have said to your son, We have been servants of Pharaoh in Egypt, and YHWH brings us out of Egypt by a high hand;
dices ei: Servi eramus Pharaonis in Ægypto, et eduxit nos Dominus de Ægypto in manu forti:
22 and YHWH gives signs and wonders, great and severe, on Egypt, on Pharaoh, and on all his house, before our eyes;
fecitque signa atque prodigia magna et pessima in Ægypto contra Pharaonem, et omnem domum illius in conspectu nostro,
23 and He has brought us out from there, in order to bring us in, to give to us the land which He had sworn to our fathers.
et eduxit nos inde, ut introductis daret Terram, super qua iuravit patribus nostris.
24 And YHWH commands us to do all these statutes, to fear our God YHWH, for good to ourselves [for] all the days, to keep us alive, as [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 is righteousness for us when we observe to do all this command before our God YHWH, as He has commanded us.”
Eritque nostri misericors, si custodierimus et fecerimus omnia præcepta eius coram Domino Deo nostro, sicut mandavit nobis.
