Deuteronomy 32
1 Give ear, you heavens, and I will speak. Let the earth hear the words of my mouth.
audite caeli quae loquor audiat terra verba oris mei
2 My doctrine shall drop as the rain. My speech shall condense as the dew, as the small rain on the tender grass, as the showers on the herb.
concrescat in pluvia doctrina mea fluat ut ros eloquium meum quasi imber super herbam et quasi stillae super gramina
3 For I will proclaim the name of the LORD. Ascribe greatness to our God.
quia nomen Domini invocabo date magnificentiam Deo nostro
4 The Rock, his work is perfect, for all his ways are justice. A faithful God and without iniquity, just and right is he.
Dei perfecta sunt opera et omnes viae eius iudicia Deus fidelis et absque ulla iniquitate iustus et rectus
5 They have dealt corruptly with him. They are not his children, because of their defect. They are a perverse and crooked generation.
peccaverunt ei non filii eius in sordibus generatio prava atque perversa
6 Do you thus requite the LORD, foolish people and unwise? Isn't he your father who has bought you? He has made you, and established you.
haecine reddis Domino popule stulte et insipiens numquid non ipse est pater tuus qui possedit et fecit et creavit te
7 Remember the days of old. Consider the years of many generations. Ask your father, and he will show you; your elders, and they will tell you.
memento dierum antiquorum cogita generationes singulas interroga patrem tuum et adnuntiabit tibi maiores tuos et dicent tibi
8 When the Most High gave to the nations their inheritance, when he divided humankind, he set the bounds of the peoples according to the number of the sons of God.
quando dividebat Altissimus gentes quando separabat filios Adam constituit terminos populorum iuxta numerum filiorum Israhel
9 For the LORD's portion is his people. Jacob is the lot of his inheritance.
pars autem Domini populus eius Iacob funiculus hereditatis eius
10 He found him in a desert land, in the waste howling wilderness. He surrounded him. He cared for him. He kept him as the apple of his eye.
invenit eum in terra deserta in loco horroris et vastae solitudinis circumduxit eum et docuit et custodivit quasi pupillam oculi sui
11 As an eagle that stirs up her nest, that flutters over her young, he spread abroad his wings, he took them, he bore them on his feathers.
sicut aquila provocans ad volandum pullos suos et super eos volitans expandit alas suas et adsumpsit eum atque portavit in umeris suis
12 The LORD alone led him. There was no foreign god with him.
Dominus solus dux eius fuit et non erat cum eo deus alienus
13 He made him ride on the high places of the earth. He ate the increase of the field. He caused him to suck honey out of the rock, oil out of the flinty rock;
constituit eum super excelsam terram ut comederet fructus agrorum ut sugeret mel de petra oleumque de saxo durissimo
14 Butter of the herd, and milk of the flock, with fat of lambs, rams of the breed of Bashan, and goats, with the finest of the wheat. Of the blood of the grape you drank wine.
butyrum de armento et lac de ovibus cum adipe agnorum et arietum filiorum Basan et hircos cum medulla tritici et sanguinem uvae biberet meracissimum
15 But Jacob ate his fill. Jeshurun grew fat, and kicked. You have grown fat. You have grown thick. You have become sleek. Then he forsook God who made him, and lightly esteemed the Rock of his salvation.
incrassatus est dilectus et recalcitravit incrassatus inpinguatus dilatatus dereliquit Deum factorem suum et recessit a Deo salutari suo
16 They moved him to jealousy with strange gods. They provoked him to anger with abominations.
provocaverunt eum in diis alienis et in abominationibus ad iracundiam concitaverunt
17 They sacrificed to demons, not God, to gods that they did not know, to new gods that came up recently, which your fathers did not dread.
immolaverunt daemonibus et non Deo diis quos ignorabant novi recentesque venerunt quos non coluerunt patres eorum
18 the Rock who fathered you, you are unmindful, and have forgotten God who gave you birth.
Deum qui te genuit dereliquisti et oblitus es Domini creatoris tui
19 The LORD saw and abhorred, because of the provocation of his sons and his daughters.
vidit Dominus et ad iracundiam concitatus est quia provocaverunt eum filii sui et filiae
20 He said, "I will hide my face from them. I will see what their end shall be; for they are a very perverse generation, children in whom is no faithfulness.
et ait abscondam faciem meam ab eis et considerabo novissima eorum generatio enim perversa est et infideles filii
21 They have moved me to jealousy with that which is not God. They have provoked me to anger with their vanities. I will move them to jealousy with those who are not a people. I will provoke them to anger with a foolish nation.
ipsi me provocaverunt in eo qui non erat Deus et inritaverunt in vanitatibus suis et ego provocabo eos in eo qui non est populus et in gente stulta inritabo illos
22 For a fire is kindled in my anger, and burns to the lowest Sheol, and devours the earth with its increase, and sets the foundations of the mountains on fire. (Sheol h7585)
ignis succensus est in furore meo et ardebit usque ad inferni novissima devorabitque terram cum germine suo et montium fundamenta conburet (Sheol h7585)
23 "I will heap evils on them. I will spend my arrows on them.
congregabo super eos mala et sagittas meas conplebo in eis
24 They shall be wasted with hunger, and devoured with burning heat and bitter destruction. I will send the teeth of animals on them, With the poison of crawling creatures of the dust.
consumentur fame et devorabunt eos aves morsu amarissimo dentes bestiarum inmittam in eos cum furore trahentium super terram atque serpentium
25 Outside the sword shall bereave, and in the rooms, terror; on both young man and virgin, The nursing infant with the gray-haired man.
foris vastabit eos gladius et intus pavor iuvenem simul ac virginem lactantem cum homine sene
26 I said, I want to cut them to pieces. I will remove the memory of them from men;
dixi ubinam sunt cessare faciam ex hominibus memoriam eorum
27 were it not that I feared the provocation of the enemy, lest their adversaries should judge wrongly, lest they should say, 'Our hand is exalted, the LORD has not done all this.'"
sed propter iram inimicorum distuli ne forte superbirent hostes eorum et dicerent manus nostra excelsa et non Dominus fecit haec omnia
28 For they are a nation void of counsel. There is no understanding in them.
gens absque consilio est et sine prudentia
29 Oh that they were wise, that they understood this, that they would consider their latter end.
utinam saperent et intellegerent ac novissima providerent
30 How could one chase a thousand, and two put ten thousand to flight, unless their Rock had sold them, and the LORD had delivered them up?
quomodo persequatur unus mille et duo fugent decem milia nonne ideo quia Deus suus vendidit eos et Dominus conclusit illos
31 For their rock is not as our Rock, even our enemies themselves being judges.
non enim est Deus noster ut deus eorum et inimici nostri sunt iudices
32 For their vine is of the vine of Sodom, of the fields of Gomorrah. Their grapes are grapes of gall, Their clusters are bitter.
de vinea Sodomorum vinea eorum et de suburbanis Gomorrae uva eorum uva fellis et botri amarissimi
33 Their wine is the poison of serpents, The cruel venom of asps.
fel draconum vinum eorum et venenum aspidum insanabile
34 "Isn't this laid up in store with me, sealed up among my treasures?
nonne haec condita sunt apud me et signata in thesauris meis
35 Vengeance is mine, I will repay, at the time when their foot slides; for the day of their calamity is near, and the things to come hasten upon them."
mea est ultio et ego retribuam in tempore ut labatur pes eorum iuxta est dies perditionis et adesse festinant tempora
36 For the LORD will judge his people, and have compassion on his servants, when he sees that their strength is gone and there is none remaining, confined or set free.
iudicabit Dominus populum suum et in servis suis miserebitur videbit quod infirmata sit manus et clausi quoque defecerint residuique consumpti sint
37 And he will say, "Where are their gods, the rock in which they took refuge?
et dicet ubi sunt dii eorum in quibus habebant fiduciam
38 Who ate the fat of their sacrifices and drank the wine of their drink offering? Let them rise up and help you. Let them be your protection.
de quorum victimis comedebant adipes et bibebant vinum libaminum surgant et opitulentur vobis et in necessitate vos protegant
39 "See now that I, even I, am he, and there is no god besides me. I kill, and I make alive. I wound, and I heal; and there is no one who can deliver out of my hand.
videte quod ego sim solus et non sit alius deus praeter me ego occidam et ego vivere faciam percutiam et ego sanabo et non est qui de manu mea possit eruere
40 For I lift up my hand to heaven, and say, 'As I live forever,
levabo ad caelum manum meam et dicam vivo ego in aeternum
41 if I sharpen my flashing sword and my hand takes hold on judgment; I will render vengeance to my adversaries, and will recompense those who hate me.
si acuero ut fulgur gladium meum et arripuerit iudicium manus mea reddam ultionem hostibus meis et his qui oderunt me retribuam
42 I will make my arrows drunk with blood. My sword shall devour flesh with the blood of the slain and the captives, from the head of the leaders of the enemy.'"
inebriabo sagittas meas sanguine et gladius meus devorabit carnes de cruore occisorum et de captivitate nudati inimicorum capitis
43 Rejoice, O heavens, with him, and let all the angels of God worship him. Rejoice, O nations, with his people, and let all the children of God strengthen themselves in him. For he will avenge the blood of his children, and he will render vengeance to his enemies, and he will recompense them that hate him, and he atones for the land of his people.
laudate gentes populum eius quia sanguinem servorum suorum ulciscetur et vindictam retribuet in hostes eorum et propitius erit terrae populi sui
44 Moses came and spoke all the words of this song in the ears of the people, he and Joshua the son of Nun.
venit ergo Moses et locutus est omnia verba cantici huius in auribus populi ipse et Iosue filius Nun
45 Moses made an end of speaking all these words to all Israel;
conplevitque omnes sermones istos loquens ad universum Israhel
46 He said to them, "Set your heart to all the words which I testify to you this day, which you shall command your children to observe to do, all the words of this law.
et dixit ad eos ponite corda vestra in omnia verba quae ego testificor vobis hodie ut mandetis ea filiis vestris custodire et facere et implere universa quae scripta sunt legis huius
47 For it is no vain thing for you; because it is your life, and through this thing you shall prolong your days in the land, where you go over the Jordan to possess it."
quia non in cassum praecepta sunt vobis sed ut singuli in eis viverent quae facientes longo perseveretis tempore in terra ad quam Iordane transmisso ingredimini possidendam
48 The LORD spoke to Moses that same day, saying,
locutusque est Dominus ad Mosen in eadem die dicens
49 "Go up into this mountain of Abarim, to Mount Nebo, which is in the land of Moab, that is over against Jericho; and see the land of Canaan, which I give to the children of Israel for a possession;
ascende in montem istum Abarim id est transituum in montem Nebo qui est in terra Moab contra Hiericho et vide terram Chanaan quam ego tradam filiis Israhel obtinendam et morere in monte
50 and die on the mountain where you go up, and be gathered to your people, as Aaron your brother died on Mount Hor, and was gathered to his people:
quem conscendens iungeris populis tuis sicut mortuus est Aaron frater tuus in monte Hor et adpositus populis suis
51 because you trespassed against me in the midst of the children of Israel at the waters of Meribah of Kadesh, in the wilderness of Zin; because you did not sanctify me in the midst of the children of Israel.
quia praevaricati estis contra me in medio filiorum Israhel ad aquas Contradictionis in Cades deserti Sin et non sanctificastis me inter filios Israhel
52 For you shall see the land before you; but you shall not go there into the land which I give the children of Israel."
e contra videbis terram et non ingredieris in eam quam ego dabo filiis Israhel
