Deuteronomy 1
1 These be the words which Moses spake unto all Israel beyond Jordan in the wilderness, in the Arabah over against Suph, between Paran, and Tophel, and Laban, and Hazeroth, and Di-zahab.
Haec sunt verba, quae locutus est Moyses ad omnem Israel trans Iordanem in solitudine campestri, contra Mare rubrum, inter Pharan et Thophel et Laban et Haseroth, ubi auri est plurimum:
2 It is eleven days’ [journey] from Horeb by the way of mount Seir unto Kadesh-barnea.
undecim diebus de Horeb per viam montis Seir usque ad Cadesbarne.
3 And it came to pass in the fortieth year, in the eleventh month, on the first day of the month, that Moses spake unto the children of Israel, according unto all that the LORD had given him in commandment unto them;
Quadragesimo anno, undecimo mense, prima die mensis locutus est Moyses ad filios Israel omnia quae praeceperat illi Dominus ut diceret eis:
4 after he had smitten Sihon the king of the Amorites, which dwelt in Heshbon, and Og the king of Bashan, which dwelt in Ashtaroth, at Edrei:
postquam percussit Sehon regem Amorrhaeorum, qui habitavit in Hesebon: et Og regem Basan, qui mansit in Astaroth, et in Edrai,
5 beyond Jordan, in the land of Moab, began Moses to declare this law, saying,
trans Iordanem in Terra Moab. Coepitque Moyses explanare legem, et dicere:
6 The LORD our God spake unto us in Horeb, saying, Ye have dwelt long enough in this mountain:
Dominus Deus noster locutus est ad nos in Horeb, dicens: Sufficit vobis quod in hoc monte mansistis:
7 turn you, and take your journey, and go to the hill country of the Amorites, and unto all [the places] nigh thereunto, in the Arabah, in the hill country, and in the lowland, and in the South, and by the sea shore, the land of the Canaanites, and Lebanon, as far as the great river, the river Euphrates.
revertimini, et venite ad montem Amorrhaeorum, et ad cetera quae ei proxima sunt campestria atque montana et humiliora loca contra Meridiem, et iuxta littus maris, Terram Chananaeorum, et Libani usque ad flumen magnum Euphraten.
8 Behold, I have set the land before you: go in and possess the land which the LORD sware unto your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give unto them and to their seed after them.
En, inquit, tradidi vobis: ingredimini et possidete eam, super qua iuravit Dominus patribus vestris Abraham, Isaac, et Iacob, ut daret illam eis, et semini eorum post eos.
9 And I spake unto you at that time, saying, I am not able to bear you myself alone:
Dixique vobis illo in tempore:
10 The LORD your God hath multiplied you, and, behold, ye are this day as the stars of heaven for multitude.
Non possum solus sustinere vos: quia Dominus Deus vester multiplicavit vos, et estis hodie sicut stellae caeli, plurimi.
11 The LORD, the God of your fathers, make you a thousand times so many more as ye are, and bless you, as he hath 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 cumbrance, and your burden, and your strife?
Non valeo solus negotia vestra sustinere, et pondus ac iurgia.
13 Take you wise men, and understanding, and 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 And ye answered me, and said, The thing which thou hast spoken is good [for us] 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 And I charged your judges at that time, saying, Hear [the causes] between your brethren, and judge righteously between a man and his brother, and the stranger that is with him.
Praecepique eis, dicens: Audite illos, et quod iustum est iudicate: sive civis sit ille, sive peregrinus.
17 Ye shall not respect persons in judgment; ye shall hear the small and the great alike; ye shall not be afraid of the face of man; for the judgment is God’s: and the cause that is too hard for you ye shall bring unto me, and I will hear it.
Nulla erit distantia personarum, ita parvum audietis ut magnum: nec accipietis cuiusquam personam, quia Dei iudicium est. Quod si difficile vobis visum aliquid fuerit, referte ad me, et ego audiam.
18 And I commanded you at that time all the things which ye should do.
Praecepique omnia quae facere deberetis.
19 And we journeyed from Horeb, and went through all that great and terrible wilderness which ye saw, by the way to the hill country of the Amorites, as the LORD our God commanded us; and we came to Kadesh-barnea.
Profecti autem de Horeb, transivimus per eremum terribilem et maximam solitudinem, quam vidistis, per viam montis Amorrhaei, sicut praeceperat Dominus Deus noster nobis. Cumque venissemus in Cadesbarne,
20 And I said unto you, Ye are come unto the hill country of the Amorites, which the LORD our God giveth unto us.
dixi vobis: Venistis ad montem Amorrhaei, quem Dominus Deus noster daturus est nobis.
21 Behold, the LORD thy God hath set the land before thee: go up, take possession, as the LORD, the God of thy fathers, hath spoken unto thee; fear not, 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 And ye came near unto me every one 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 unto which we shall come.
Et accessistis ad me omnes, atque dixistis: Mittamus viros qui considerent Terram: et renuncient per quod iter debeamus ascendere, et ad quas pergere civitates.
23 And 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 mountain, and came unto the valley of Eshcol, and spied it out.
Qui cum perrexissent, et ascendissent in montana, venerunt usque ad Vallem botri: et considerata terra,
25 And they took of the fruit of the land in their hands, and brought it down unto us, and brought us word again, and said, It is a good land which the LORD our God giveth unto us.
sumentes de fructibus eius, ut ostenderent ubertatem, attulerunt ad nos, atque dixerunt: Bona est terra, quam Dominus Deus noster daturus est nobis.
26 Yet ye would not go up, but rebelled against the commandment of the LORD your God:
Et noluistis ascendere, sed increduli ad sermonem Domini Dei nostri
27 and ye murmured in your tents, and said, Because the LORD hated us, he hath 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 Aegypti, ut traderet nos in manu Amorrhaei, atque deleret.
28 Whither are we going up? our brethren have made our heart to melt, saying, The people is greater and taller than we; the cities are great and fenced up to heaven; and moreover we have seen the sons of the Anakim there.
Quo ascendemus? nuncii terruerunt cor nostrum, dicentes: Maxima multitudo est, et nobis statura procerior: urbes magnae, et ad caelum usque munitae: filios Enacim vidimus ibi.
29 Then I said unto you, Dread not, neither be afraid of them.
Et dixi vobis: Nolite metuere, nec timeatis eos:
30 The LORD your God who goeth before you, he shall 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 Aegypto cunctis videntibus.
31 and in the wilderness, where thou hast seen how that the LORD thy God bare thee, as a man doth bear his son, in all the way that ye went, until ye came unto this place.
Et in solitudine (ipsi vidistis) 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 ye did not believe the LORD 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 shew you by what way ye should go, and in the cloud by day.
qui praecessit vos in via, et metatus est locum, in quo tentoria figere deberetis, nocte ostendens vobis iter per ignem, et die per columnam nubis.
34 And the LORD heard the voice of your words, and was wroth, and sware, saying,
Cumque audisset Dominus vocem sermonum vestrorum, iratus iuravit et ait:
35 Surely there shall not one of these men of this evil generation see the good land, which I sware to give unto your fathers,
Non videbit quispiam de hominibus generationis huius pessimae Terram bonam, quam sub iuramento pollicitus sum patribus vestris:
36 save Caleb the son of Jephunneh, he shall see it; and to him will I give the land that he hath trodden upon, and to his children: because he hath wholly followed the LORD.
praeter Caleb filium Iephone. ipse enim videbit eam, et ipsi dabo Terram, quam calcavit, et filiis eius, quia secutus est Dominum.
37 Also the LORD was angry with me for your sakes, saying, Thou also shalt not go in thither:
Nec miranda indignatio in populum, cum mihi quoque iratus Dominus propter vos dixerit: Nec tu ingredieris illuc:
38 Joshua the son of Nun, which standeth before thee, he shall go in thither: encourage thou him; for he shall cause Israel to inherit it.
sed Iosue filius Nun minister tuus, ipse intrabit pro te. hunc exhortare et robora, et ipse sorte Terram dividet Israeli.
39 Moreover your little ones, which ye said should be a prey, and your children, which this day have no knowledge of good or evil, they shall go in thither, and unto 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 you, 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 ye answered and said unto me, We have sinned against the LORD, we will go up and fight, according to all that the LORD our God commanded us. And ye girded on every man his weapons of war, and were forward to go up into the mountain.
Et respondistis mihi: Peccavimus Domino: ascendemus et pugnabimus, sicut praecepit Dominus Deus noster. Cumque instructi armis pergeretis in montem,
42 And the LORD said unto me, Say unto them, Go not up, neither fight; for I am not among you; lest ye be smitten 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 spake unto you, and ye hearkened not; but ye rebelled against the commandment of the LORD, and were presumptuous, and went up into the mountain.
Locutus sum, et non audistis: sed adversantes imperio Domini, et tumentes superbia ascendistis in montem.
44 And the Amorites, which dwelt in that mountain, came out against you, and chased you, as bees do, and beat you down in Seir, even unto Hormah.
Itaque egressus Amorrhaeus, qui habitabat in montibus, et obviam veniens persecutus est vos, sicut solent apes persequi: et cecidit de Seir usque Horma.
45 And ye returned and wept before the LORD; but the LORD hearkened not to your voice, nor gave ear unto you.
Cumque reversi ploraretis coram Domino, non audivit vos, nec voci vestrae voluit acquiescere.
46 So ye abode in Kadesh many days, according unto the days that ye abode [there].
Sedistis ergo in Cadesbarne multo tempore.
