Deuteronomy 1
1 These are the words which Moses spoke to all Israel beyond the Jordan in the wilderness, in the Arabah opposite Suph, between Paran, and Tophel, and Laban, and Hazeroth, and Dizahab.
Hæc sunt verba quæ locutus est Moyses ad omnem Israël trans Jordanem in solitudine campestri, contra mare Rubrum, inter Pharan et Tophel et Laban et Haseroth, ubi auri est plurimum:
2 It is eleven days' journey from Horeb by the way of Mount Seir to Kadesh Barnea.
undecim diebus de Horeb per viam montis Seir usque ad Cadesbarne.
3 It happened in the fortieth year, in the eleventh month, on the first day of the month, that Moses spoke to the children of Israel, according to all that Jehovah had given him in commandment to them;
Quadragesimo anno, undecimo mense, prima die mensis, locutus est Moyses ad filios Israël omnia quæ præceperat illi Dominus, ut diceret eis,
4 after he had struck Sihon the king of the Amorites, who lived in Heshbon, and Og the king of Bashan, who lived in Ashtaroth and in Edrei.
postquam percussit Sehon regem Amorrhæorum, qui habitabat in Hesebon, et Og regem Basan, qui mansit in Astaroth, et in Edrai,
5 Beyond the Jordan, in the land of Moab, began Moses to declare this law, saying,
trans Jordanem in terra Moab. Cœpitque Moyses explanare legem, et dicere:
6 "Jehovah our God spoke to us in Horeb, saying, You have lived long enough in this mountain:
Dominus Deus noster locutus est ad nos in Horeb, dicens: Sufficit vobis quod in hoc monte mansistis:
7 turn, and take your journey, and go to the hill country of the Amorites, and to all the places near there, in the Arabah, in the hill country, and in the lowland, and in the Negev, and by the sea coast, the land of the Canaanites, and Lebanon, as far as the great river, the river Perath.
revertimini, et venite ad montem Amorrhæorum, et ad cetera quæ ei proxima sunt campestria atque montana et humiliora loca contra meridiem, et juxta littus maris, terram Chananæorum, et Libani usque ad flumen magnum Euphraten.
8 Look, I have set the land before you: go in and possess the land which I swore to your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give to them and to their descendants after them."
En, inquit, tradidi vobis: ingredimini et possidete eam, super qua juravit Dominus patribus vestris Abraham, Isaac, et Jacob, ut daret illam eis, et semini eorum post eos.
9 I spoke to you at that time, saying, "I am not able to bear you myself alone:
Dixique vobis illo in tempore:
10 Jehovah your God has multiplied you, and look, you are this day as the stars of the sky for multitude.
Non possum solus sustinere vos: quia Dominus Deus vester multiplicavit vos, et estis hodie sicut stellæ cæli, plurimi.
11 Jehovah, the God of your fathers, make you a thousand times as many as you are, and bless you, as he has promised you.
(Dominus Deus patrum vestrorum addat ad hunc numerum multa millia, et benedicat vobis sicut locutus est.)
12 How can I myself alone bear your encumbrance, and your burden, and your strife?
Non valeo solus negotia vestra sustinere, et pondus ac jurgia.
13 Take wise men of understanding and well known according to your tribes, and I will make them heads over you."
Date ex vobis viros sapientes et gnaros, et quorum conversatio sit probata in tribubus vestris, ut ponam eos vobis principes.
14 You answered me, and said, "The thing which you have spoken is good to do."
Tunc respondistis mihi: Bona res est, quam vis facere.
15 So I took the heads of your tribes, wise men, and known, and made them heads over you, captains of thousands, and captains of hundreds, and captains of fifties, and captains of tens, and officers, according to your tribes.
Tulique de tribubus vestris viros sapientes et nobiles, et constitui eos principes, tribunos, et centuriones, et quinquagenarios ac decanos, qui docerent vos singula.
16 I commanded your judges at that time, saying, "Hear cases between your brothers, and judge righteously between a man and his brother, and the foreigner who is living with him.
Præcepique eis, dicens: Audite illos, et quod justum est judicate: sive civis sit ille, sive peregrinus.
17 You shall not show partiality in judgment; you shall hear the small and the great alike; you shall not be afraid of the face of man; for the judgment is God's. The case that is too hard for you, you shall bring to me, and I will hear it."
Nulla erit distantia personarum: ita parvum audietis ut magnum, nec accipietis cujusquam personam, quia Dei judicium est. Quod si difficile vobis visum aliquid fuerit, referte ad me, et ego audiam.
18 I commanded you at that time all the things which you should do.
Præcepique omnia quæ facere deberetis.
19 We traveled from Horeb, and went through all that great and terrible wilderness which you saw, by the way to the hill country of the Amorites, as Jehovah our God commanded us; and we came to Kadesh Barnea.
Profecti autem de Horeb, transivimus per eremum terribilem et maximam, quam vidistis, per viam montis Amorrhæi, sicut præceperat Dominus Deus noster nobis. Cumque venissemus in Cadesbarne,
20 I said to you, "You have come to the hill country of the Amorites, which Jehovah our God gives to us.
dixi vobis: Venistis ad montem Amorrhæi, quem Dominus Deus noster daturus est nobis:
21 Look, Jehovah your God has set the land before you: go up, take possession, as Jehovah, the God of your fathers, has spoken to you; do not be afraid, neither be dismayed."
vide terram, quam Dominus Deus tuus dat tibi: ascende et posside eam, sicut locutus est Dominus Deus noster patribus tuis: noli timere, nec quidquam paveas.
22 You came near to me everyone of you, and said, "Let us send men before us, that they may search the land for us, and bring us word again of the way by which we must go up, and the cities to which we shall come."
Et accessistis ad me omnes, atque dixistis: Mittamus viros qui considerent terram: et renuntient per quod iter debeamus ascendere, et ad quas pergere civitates.
23 The thing pleased me well; and I took twelve men of you, one man for every tribe:
Cumque mihi sermo placuisset, misi ex vobis duodecim viros, singulos de tribubus suis.
24 and they turned and went up into the hill country, and came to the Valley of Eshcol, and spied it out.
Qui cum perrexissent, et ascendissent in montana, venerunt usque ad Vallem botri: et considerata terra,
25 They took of the fruit of the land in their hands, and brought it down to us, and brought us word again, and said, "It is a good land which Jehovah our God gives to us."
sumentes de fructibus ejus, ut ostenderent ubertatem, attulerunt ad nos, atque dixerunt: Bona est terra, quam Dominus Deus noster daturus est nobis.
26 Yet you wouldn't go up, but rebelled against the commandment of Jehovah your God:
Et noluistis ascendere, sed increduli ad sermonem Domini Dei nostri,
27 and you murmured in your tents, and said, "Because Jehovah hated us, he has brought us forth out of the land of Egypt, to deliver us into the hand of the Amorites, to destroy us.
murmurastis in tabernaculis vestris, atque dixistis: Odit nos Dominus, et idcirco eduxit nos de terra Ægypti, ut traderet nos in manu Amorrhæi, atque deleret.
28 Where are we going up? Our brothers have made our heart to melt, saying, 'The people are greater and taller than we; the cities are great and fortified up to the sky; and moreover we have seen the sons of the Anakim there.'"
Quo ascendemus? nuntii terruerunt cor nostrum, dicentes: Maxima multitudo est, et nobis statura procerior; urbes magnæ, et ad cælum usque munitæ: filios Enacim vidimus ibi.
29 Then I said to you, "Do not dread, neither be afraid of them.
Et dixi vobis: Nolite metuere, nec timeatis eos:
30 Jehovah your God who goes before you, he will fight for you, according to all that he did for you in Egypt before your eyes,
Dominus Deus, qui ductor est vester, pro vobis ipse pugnabit, sicut fecit in Ægypto cunctis videntibus.
31 and in the wilderness, where you have seen how that Jehovah your God bore you, as a man does bear his son, in all the way that you went, until you came to this place."
Et in solitudine (ipse vidisti) portavit te Dominus Deus tuus, ut solet homo gestare parvulum filium suum, in omni via per quam ambulastis, donec veniretis ad locum istum.
32 Yet in this thing you did not believe Jehovah your God,
Et nec sic quidem credidistis Domino Deo vestro,
33 who went before you in the way, to seek you out a place to pitch your tents in, in fire by night, to show you by what way you should go, and in the cloud by day.
qui præcessit vos in via, et metatus est locum in quo tentoria figere deberetis, nocte ostendens vobis iter per ignem, et die per columnam nubis.
34 Jehovah heard the voice of your words, and was angry, and swore, saying,
Cumque audisset Dominus vocem sermonum vestrorum, iratus juravit, et ait:
35 "Surely not one of these men of this evil generation shall see the good land, which I swore to give to your fathers,
Non videbit quispiam de hominibus generationis hujus pessimæ terram bonam, quam sub juramento pollicitus sum patribus vestris,
36 except Caleb the son of Jephunneh: he shall see it; and to him will I give the land that he has trodden on, and to his children, because he has wholly followed Jehovah."
præter Caleb filium Jephone: ipse enim videbit eam, et ipsi dabo terram, quam calcavit, et filiis ejus, quia secutus est Dominum.
37 Also Jehovah was angry with me for your sakes, saying, "You also shall not go in there:
Nec miranda indignatio in populum, cum mihi quoque iratus Dominus propter vos dixerit: Nec tu ingredieris illuc:
38 Joshua the son of Nun, who stands before you, he shall go in there. Encourage him, because he will cause Israel to inherit it.
sed Josue filius Nun minister tuus, ipse intrabit pro te. Hunc exhortare et robora, et ipse sorte terram dividet Israëli.
39 Moreover your little ones, whom you said should be a prey, and your children, who this day have no knowledge of good or evil, they shall go in there, and to them will I give it, and they shall possess it.
Parvuli vestri, de quibus dixistis quod captivi ducerentur, et filii qui hodie boni ac mali ignorant distantiam, ipsi ingredientur: et ipsis dabo terram, et possidebunt eam.
40 But as for you, turn, and take your journey into the wilderness by the way to the Red Sea."
Vos autem revertimini, et abite in solitudinem per viam maris Rubri.
41 Then you answered and said to me, "We have sinned against Jehovah our God, we will go up and fight, according to all that Jehovah our God commanded us." Every man of you put on his weapons of war, and presumed to go up into the hill country.
Et respondistis mihi: Peccavimus Domino: ascendemus et pugnabimus, sicut præcepit Dominus Deus noster. Cumque instructi armis pergeretis in montem,
42 Jehovah said to me, "Tell them, 'Do not go up, neither fight; for I am not among you; lest you be struck before your enemies.'"
ait mihi Dominus: Dic ad eos: Nolite ascendere, neque pugnetis: non enim sum vobiscum: ne cadatis coram inimicis vestris.
43 So I spoke to you, and you did not listen; but you rebelled against the commandment of Jehovah, and were presumptuous, and went up into the hill country.
Locutus sum, et non audistis: sed adversantes imperio Domini, et tumentes superbia, ascendistis in montem.
44 The Amorites, who lived in that hill country, came out against you, and chased you, as bees do, and beat you down in Seir, even to Hormah.
Itaque egressus Amorrhæus, qui habitabat in montibus, et obviam veniens, persecutus est vos, sicut solent apes persequi: et cecidit de Seir usque Horma.
45 You returned and wept before Jehovah; but Jehovah did not listen to your voice, nor gave ear to you.
Cumque reversi ploraretis coram Domino, non audivit vos, nec voci vestræ voluit acquiescere.
46 So you stayed in Kadesh many days, according to the days that you remained.
Sedistis ergo in Cadesbarne multo tempore.
