Deuteronomy 31
1 And Moses finished speaking all these words to all Israel.
Abiit itaque Moyses, et locutus est omnia verba haec ad universum Israel,
2 He said to them, "I am one hundred twenty years old this day; I can no more go out and come in: and YHWH has said to me, 'You shall not go over this Jordan.'
et dixit ad eos: Centum viginti annorum sum hodie, non possum ultra egredi, et ingredi, praesertim cum et Dominus dixerit mihi: Non transibis Iordanem istum.
3 YHWH your God, he will go over before you; he will destroy these nations from before you, and you shall dispossess them. Joshua shall go over before you, as YHWH has spoken.
Dominus ergo Deus tuus transibit ante te: ipse delebit omnes gentes has in conspectu tuo, et possidebis eas: et Iosue iste transibit ante te, sicut locutus est Dominus.
4 YHWH will do to them as he did to Sihon and to Og, the kings of the Amorites, and to their land; whom he destroyed.
Facietque Dominus eis sicut fecit Sehon et Og regibus Amorrhaeorum, et terrae eorum, delebitque eos.
5 YHWH will deliver them up before you, and you shall do to them according to all the commandment which I have commanded you.
Cum ergo et hos tradiderit vobis, similiter facietis eis sicut praecepi vobis.
6 Be strong and courageous, do not be afraid, nor be scared of them: for YHWH your God is he who is going with you; he will not leave you nor forsake you."
Viriliter agite, et confortamini: nolite timere, nec paveatis conspectum eorum: quia Dominus Deus tuus ipse est ductor tuus, et non dimittet, nec derelinquet te.
7 Moses called to Joshua, and said to him in the sight of all Israel, "Be strong and courageous: for you shall go with this people into the land which YHWH has sworn to their fathers to give them; and you shall cause them to inherit it.
Vocavitque Moyses Iosue, et dixit ei coram omni Israel: Confortare, et esto robustus: tu enim introduces populum istum in Terram, quam daturum se patribus eorum iuravit Dominus, et tu eam sorte divides.
8 YHWH, he it is who does go before you; he will be with you, he will not fail you, neither forsake you: do not be afraid, neither be dismayed."
Et Dominus qui ductor est vester, ipse erit tecum: non dimittet, nec derelinquet te: noli timere, nec paveas.
9 Moses wrote this law, and delivered it to the priests the sons of Levi, who bore the ark of the covenant of YHWH, and to all the elders of Israel.
Scripsit itaque Moyses legem hanc, et tradidit eam sacerdotibus filiis Levi, qui portabant arcam foederis Domini, et cunctis senioribus Israel.
10 Moses commanded them, saying, "At the end of every seven years, in the set time of the year of release, in the feast of tents,
Praecepitque eis, dicens: Post septem annos, anno remissionis, in sollemnitate tabernaculorum,
11 when all Israel has come to appear before YHWH your God in the place which he shall choose, you shall read this law before all Israel in their hearing.
convenientibus cunctis ex Israel, ut appareant in conspectu Domini Dei tui in loco, quem elegerit Dominus, leges verba legis huius coram omni Israel, audientibus eis,
12 Assemble the people, the men and the women and the little ones, and your foreigner who is within your gates, that they may hear, and that they may learn, and fear YHWH your God, and observe to do all the words of this law;
et in unum omni populo congregato, tam viris quam mulieribus, parvulis, et advenis, qui sunt intra portas tuas: ut audientes discant, et timeant Dominum Deum vestrum, et custodiant, impleantque omnes sermones legis huius.
13 and that their children, who have not known, may hear, and learn to fear YHWH your God, as long as you live in the land where you go over the Jordan to possess it."
filii quoque eorum qui nunc ignorant; ut audire possint, et timeant Dominum Deum suum cunctis diebus quibus versantur in Terra, ad quam vos, Iordane transmisso, pergitis obtinendam.
14 YHWH said to Moses, "Look, your days approach that you must die: call Joshua, and present yourselves in the Tent of Meeting, that I may commission him." Moses and Joshua went, and presented themselves in the Tent of Meeting.
Et ait Dominus ad Moysen: Ecce prope sunt dies mortis tuae: voca Iosue, et state in tabernaculo testimonii, ut praecipiam ei. Abierunt ergo Moyses et Iosue, et steterunt in tabernaculo testimonii:
15 YHWH appeared in the Tent in a pillar of cloud: and the pillar of cloud stood over the door of the Tent.
apparuitque Dominus ibi in columna nubis, quae stetit in introitu tabernaculi.
16 YHWH said to Moses, "Look, you shall sleep with your fathers; and this people will rise up, and play the prostitute after the strange gods of the land, where they go to be among them, and will forsake me, and break my covenant which I have made with them.
Dixitque Dominus ad Moysen: Ecce tu dormies cum patribus tuis, et populus iste consurgens fornicabitur post deos alienos in Terra, ad quam ingreditur ut habitet in ea: ibi derelinquet me, et irritum faciet foedus, quod pepigi cum eo.
17 Then my anger shall be kindled against them in that day, and I will forsake them, and I will hide my face from them, and they shall be devoured, and many evils and troubles shall come on them; so that they will say in that day, 'Haven't these evils come on us because our God is not among us?'
Et irascetur furor meus contra eum in die illo: et derelinquam eum, et abscondam faciem meam ab eo, et erit in devorationem: invenient eum omnia mala et afflictiones, ita ut dicat in illo die: Vere quia non est Deus mecum, invenerunt me haec mala.
18 I will surely hide my face in that day for all the evil which they shall have worked, in that they are turned to other gods.
Ego autem abscondam, et celabo faciem meam in die illo propter omnia mala, quae fecit, quia secutus est deos alienos.
19 "Now therefore write the words of this song for yourselves, and teach it to the children of Israel: put it in their mouths, that this song may be a witness for me against the children of Israel.
Nunc itaque scribite vobis canticum istud, et docete filios Israel: ut memoriter teneant, et ore decantent, et sit mihi carmen istud pro testimonio inter filios Israel.
20 For when I shall have brought them into the land which I swore to their fathers, flowing with milk and honey, and they shall have eaten and filled themselves, and grown fat; then will they turn to other gods, and serve them, and despise me, and break my covenant.
Introducam enim eum in Terram, pro qua iuravi patribus eius, lacte et melle manantem. Cumque comederint, et saturati, crassique fuerint, avertentur ad deos alienos, et servient eis: detrahentque mihi, et irritum facient pactum meum.
21 It shall happen, when many evils and troubles have come on them, that this song shall testify before them as a witness; for it shall not be forgotten out of the mouths of their descendants: for I know their imagination which they frame this day, before I have brought them into the land which I swore."
Postquam invenerint eum mala multa et afflictiones, respondebit ei canticum istud pro testimonio, quod nulla delebit oblivio ex ore seminis sui. Scio enim cogitationes eius, quae facturus sit hodie, antequam introducam eum in Terram, quam ei pollicitus sum.
22 So Moses wrote this song the same day, and taught it the children of Israel.
Scripsit ergo Moyses canticum, et docuit filios Israel.
23 He commissioned Joshua the son of Nun, and said, "Be strong and courageous; for you shall bring the children of Israel into the land which I swore to them: and I will be with you."
Praecepitque Dominus Iosue filio Nun, et ait: Confortare, et esto robustus: tu enim introduces filios Israel in Terram, quam pollicitus sum, et ego ero tecum.
24 It happened, when Moses had made an end of writing the words of this law on a scroll, until they were finished,
Postquam ergo scripsit Moyses verba legis huius in volumine, atque complevit:
25 that Moses commanded the Levites, who bore the ark of the covenant of YHWH, saying,
praecepit Levitis, qui portabant arcam foederis Domini, dicens:
26 "Take this book of the law, and put it by the side of the ark of the covenant of YHWH your God, that it may be there for a witness against you.
Tollite librum istum, et ponite eum in latere arcae foederis Domini Dei vestri: ut sit ibi contra te in testimonium.
27 For I know your rebellion, and your stiff neck: look, while I am yet alive with you this day, you have been rebellious against God; and how much more after my death?
Ego enim scio contentionem tuam, et cervicem tuam durissimam. Adhuc vivente me et ingrediente vobiscum, semper contentiose egistis contra Dominum: quanto magis cum mortuus fuero?
28 Assemble to me all the elders of your tribes, and your elders and your judges and your officers, that I may speak these words in their ears, and call heaven and earth to witness against them.
Congregate ad me omnes maiores natu per tribus vestras, atque doctores, et loquar audientibus eis sermones istos, et invocabo contra eos caelum et terram.
29 For I know that after my death you will utterly corrupt yourselves, and turn aside from the way which I have commanded you; and evil will happen to you in the latter days; because you will do that which is evil in the sight of YHWH, to provoke him to anger through the work of your hands."
Novi enim quod post mortem meam inique agetis, et declinabitis cito de via, quam praecepi vobis: et occurrent vobis mala in extremo tempore, quando feceritis malum in conspectu Domini, ut irritetis eum per opera manuum vestrarum.
30 Moses spoke in the ears of all the assembly of Israel the words of this song, until they were finished.
Locutus est ergo Moyses, audiente universo coetu Israel, verba carminis huius, et ad finem usque complevit.
