Deuteronomy 8
1 “All the command which I am commanding you today you observe to do, so that you live, and have multiplied, and gone in, and possessed the land which YHWH has sworn to your fathers;
Omne mandatum, quod ego praecipio tibi hodie, attende diligenter ut facias: ut possitis vivere, et multiplicemini, ingressique possideatis Terram, pro qua iuravit Dominus patribus vestris.
2 and you have remembered all the way which your God YHWH has caused you to go these forty years in the wilderness, in order to humble you to try you, to know that which [is] in your heart, whether you keep His commands or not.
Et recordaberis cuncti itineris, per quod adduxit te Dominus Deus tuus quadraginta annis per desertum, ut affligeret te, atque tentaret, et nota fierent quae in tuo animo versabantur, utrum custodires mandata illius, an non.
3 And He humbles you, and causes you to hunger, and causes you to eat the manna (which you have not known, even your fathers have not known), in order to cause you to know that man does not live by bread alone, but man lives by everything proceeding [from] the mouth of YHWH.
Afflixit te penuria, et dedit tibi cibum Manna, quod ignorabas tu et patres tui: ut ostenderet tibi quod non in solo pane vivat homo, sed in omni verbo quod egreditur de ore Dei.
4 Your raiment has not worn out from off you, and your foot has not swelled these forty years,
Vestimentum tuum, quo operiebaris, nequaquam vetustate defecit, et pes tuus non est subtritus, en quadragesimus annus est.
5 and you have known with your heart that as a man disciplines his son, your God YHWH is disciplining you,
Ut recogites in corde tuo, quia sicut erudit filium suum homo, sic Dominus Deus tuus erudivit te,
6 and you have kept the commands of your God YHWH, to walk in His ways and to fear Him.
ut custodias mandata Domini Dei tui, et ambules in viis eius, et timeas eum.
7 For your God YHWH is bringing you into a good land, a land of brooks of waters, of fountains, and of depths coming out in valley and in mountain;
Dominus enim Deus tuus introducet te in terram bonam, terram rivorum aquarumque et fontium: in cuius campis et montibus erumpunt fluviorum abyssi:
8 a land of wheat, and barley, and vine, and fig, and pomegranate; a land of oil olive and honey;
terram frumenti, hordei, ac vinearum, in qua ficus, et malogranata, et oliveta nascuntur: terram olei ac mellis.
9 a land in which you eat bread without scarcity—you do not lack anything in it; a land whose stones [are] iron, and you dig bronze out of its mountains.
Ubi absque ulla penuria comedes panem tuum, et rerum omnium abundantia perfrueris: cuius lapides ferrum sunt, et de montibus eius aeris metalla fodiuntur:
10 And you have eaten and been satisfied, and have blessed your God YHWH on the good land which he has given to you.
ut cum comederis, et satiatus fueris, benedicas Domino Deo tuo pro terra optima, quam dedit tibi.
11 Take heed to yourself lest you forget your God YHWH so as not to keep His commands, and His judgments, and His statutes which I am commanding you today;
Observa, et cave nequando obliviscaris Domini Dei tui, et negligas mandata eius atque iudicia et ceremonias, quas ego praecipio tibi hodie:
12 lest you eat and have been satisfied, and build good houses and have inhabited [them],
ne postquam comederis et satiatus fueris, domos pulchras aedificaveris, et habitaveris in eis,
13 and your herd and your flock are multiplied, and silver and gold are multiplied to you, and all that is yours is multiplied,
habuerisque armenta boum et ovium greges, argenti et auri, cunctarumque rerum copiam,
14 and your heart has been high, and you have forgotten your God YHWH who is bringing you out of the land of Egypt, out of a house of servants;
elevetur cor tuum, et non reminiscaris Domini Dei tui, qui eduxit te de Terra Aegypti, de domo servitutis:
15 who is causing you to go in the great and the terrible wilderness [with] burning serpent, and scorpion, and thirst—where there is no water; who is bringing out waters to you from the flinty rock;
et ductor tuus fuit in solitudine magna atque terribili, in qua erat serpens flatu adurens, et scorpio ac dipsas, et nullae omnino aquae: qui eduxit rivos de petra durissima,
16 who is causing you to eat manna in the wilderness, which your fathers have not known, in order to humble you, and in order to try you, to do you good in your latter end;
et cibavit te Manna in solitudine, quod nescierunt patres tui. Et postquam afflixit ac probavit, ad extremum misertus est tui,
17 and you have said in your heart, My power and the might of my hand have made this wealth for me.
ne diceres in corde tuo: Fortitudo mea, et robur manus meae, haec mihi omnia praestiterunt.
18 And you have remembered your God YHWH, for it [is] He who is giving power to you to make wealth, in order to establish His covenant which He has sworn to your fathers, as [at] this day.
Sed recorderis Domini Dei tui, quod ipse vires tibi praebuerit, ut impleret pactum suum super quo iuravit patribus tuis, sicut praesens indicat dies.
19 And it has been, if you really forget your God YHWH, and have gone after other gods, and served them, and bowed yourself to them, I have testified against you today that you utterly perish.
Sin autem oblitus Domini Dei tui, secutus fueris deos alienos, coluerisque illos et adoraveris: ecce nunc praedico tibi quod omnino dispereas.
20 As the nations whom YHWH is destroying from your presence, so you perish, because you do not listen to the voice of your God YHWH.”
Sicut Gentes, quas delevit Dominus in introitu tuo, ita et vos peribitis, si inobedientes fueritis voci Domini Dei vestri.
