Deuteronomy 11
1 Therefore shalt thou love Yahweh thy God and keep his observance and his statutes and his regulations and his commandments all the days.
Ama itaque Dominum Deum tuum, et observa præcepta eius et ceremonias, iudicia atque mandata omni tempore.
2 And ye must know to-day, (for not with your sons [do I speak] who know not, neither have they seen) the discipline of Yahweh your God, —his greatness, his firm hand, and his stretched-out arm;
Cognoscite hodie quæ ignorant filii vestri, qui non viderunt disciplinam Domini Dei vestri, magnalia eius et robustam manum, extentumque brachium,
3 and his signs and his doings, which he did in the midst of Egypt, —unto Pharaoh king of Egypt and unto all his land;
signa et opera quæ fecit in medio Ægypti Pharaoni regi, et universæ terræ eius,
4 and what he did unto the forces of Egypt—unto his horses and unto his chariots in that he caused the waters of the Red Sea to flow over their faces, when they were pursuing after you, —and so Yahweh destroyed them (unto this day);
omnique exercitui Ægyptiorum, et equis ac curribus: quo modo operuerint eos aquæ Maris Rubri, cum vos persequerentur, et deleverit eos Dominus usque in præsentem diem:
5 and what he did unto you, in the desert, —until ye came in as far as this place;
vobisque quæ fecerit in solitudine donec veniretis ad hunc locum:
6 and what he did to Dathan and to Abiram, sons of Eliab, son of Reuben, in that the earth opened wide her mouth, and swallowed-up them and their households and their tents, —and all the living things that attended them, in the midst of all Israel.
et Dathan atque Abiron filiis Eliab, qui fuit filius Ruben: quos aperto ore suo terra absorbuit cum domibus et tabernaculis, et universa substantia eorum, quam habebant in medio Israel.
7 For yours, are the eyes that have seen every great deed of Yahweh, —which he hath done.
Oculi vestri viderunt opera Domini magna quæ fecit,
8 Therefore shall ye keep all the commandment which I am commanding thee, today, —that ye may be strong, and so enter and possess the land, whither ye are passing over to possess it;
ut custodiatis universa mandata illius, quæ ego hodie præcipio vobis, et possitis introire, et possidere Terram, ad quam ingredimini,
9 and that ye may prolong your days upon the soil which Yahweh sware unto your fathers, to give unto them and unto their seed, —a land flowing with milk and honey.
multoque in ea vivatis tempore: quam sub iuramento pollicitus est Dominus patribus vestris, et semini eorum, lacte et melle manantem.
10 For the land which thou art entering to, possess, not like the land of Egypt, it is, from whence ye came out, —where thou didst sow thy seed, and then water it with thy foot, like a garden of herbs;
Terra enim, ad quam ingrederis possidendam, non est sicut Terra Ægypti, de qua existi, ubi iacto semine in hortorum morem aquæ ducuntur irriguæ:
11 but the land whereinto ye are passing over to, possess it, is a land of hills, and valleys, —which of the rain of the heavens, doth drink water:
sed montuosa est et campestris, de cælo expectans pluvias.
12 a land which Yahweh thy God careth for, —continually are the eyes of Yahweh thy God upon it, from the beginning of the year, even unto the end of the year.
Quam Dominus Deus tuus semper invisit, et oculi illius in ea sunt a principio anni usque ad finem eius.
13 And it shall come to pass, if ye will hearken, unto my commandments, which, I am commanding you to-day, —to love Yahweh your God, and to serve him, with, all your heart, and with all your soul,
Si ergo obedieritis mandatis meis, quæ ego hodie præcipio vobis, ut diligatis Dominum Deum vestrum, et serviatis ei in toto corde vestro, et in tota anima vestra:
14 then [saith he] I will give the rain of your land in its season, the early rain and the latter rain; so shalt thou gather in thy corn, and thy new wine and thine oil;
dabit pluviam terræ vestræ temporaneam et serotinam, ut colligatis frumentum, et vinum, et oleum,
15 and I will give grass in thy field for thy cattle, —and thou shalt eat and be satisfied.
fœnumque ex agris ad pascenda iumenta, et ut ipsi comedatis ac saturemini.
16 Take heed to yourselves, lest your heart be befooled, —and ye turn aside and serve other gods, and bow down to them.
Cavete ne forte decipiatur cor vestrum, et recedatis a Domino, serviatisque diis alienis, et adoretis eos:
17 So would the anger of Yahweh kindle upon you and he would shut up the heavens, that there should be no rain, and the ground, would not yield her increase, —so should ye perish speedily, from off the good land, which Yahweh is giving unto you.
iratusque Dominus claudat cælum, et pluviæ non descendant, nec terra det germen suum, pereatisque velociter de Terra optima, quam Dominus daturus est vobis.
18 Therefore shall ye lay these my words upon your heart, and upon your soul, —and bind them for a sign upon your hand, and they shall serve as bands between your eyes;
Ponite hæc verba mea in cordibus et in animis vestris, et suspendite ea pro signo in manibus, et inter oculos vestros collocate.
19 and ye shall teach them unto your children by speaking of them, —when thou sittest in thy house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down and when thou risest up;
Docete filios vestros ut illa meditentur, quando sederis in domo tua, et ambulaveris in via, et accubueris atque surrexeris.
20 and thou shalt write them upon the door-posts of thy house and within thy gates:
Scribes ea super postes et ianuas domus tuæ:
21 that your days may multiply, and the days of your children, upon the soil which Yahweh sware unto your fathers, to give unto them, —like the days of the heavens upon the earth.
ut multiplicentur dies tui, et filiorum tuorum in Terra, quam iuravit Dominus patribus tuis, ut daret eis quamdiu cælum imminet terræ.
22 For if ye do, indeed keep, all this commandment which I am commanding you to do it, —to love Yahweh your God, to Walk in all his ways, and to cleave unto him,
Si enim custodieritis mandata quæ ego præcipio vobis, et feceritis ea, ut diligatis Dominum Deum vestrum, et ambuletis in omnibus viis eius, adhærentes ei,
23 then will Yahweh dispossess all these nations, from before you, —and ye shall dispossess nations greater and stronger than ye:
disperdet Dominus omnes gentes istas ante faciem vestram, et possidebitis eas, quæ maiores et fortiores vobis sunt.
24 every place whereon the sole of your foot shall tread yours, shall it be, —from the desert and the Lebanon from the river—the river Euphrates, even unto the hinder sea, shall be your boundary.
Omnis locus, quem calcaverit pes vester, vester erit. A deserto, et a Libano, a flumine magno Euphrate usque ad mare occidentale erunt termini vestri.
25 No man shall stand before you, —the dread of you and the fear of you, will Yahweh your God put forth over the face of all the land whereon ye shall tread, as he spake unto you.
Nullus stabit contra vos: terrorem vestrum et formidinem dabit Dominus Deus vester super omnem terram quam calcaturi estis, sicut locutus est vobis.
26 See! I am setting before you to-day, —a blessing, and a curse:
En propono in conspectu vestro hodie benedictionem et maledictionem:
27 the blessing, when ye shall hearken unto the commandments of Yahweh your God, which I am commanding you to-day;
benedictionem, si obedieritis mandatis Domini Dei vestri, quæ ego hodie præcipio vobis:
28 and the curse if ye, shall not hearken unto the commandments of Yahweh your God, but shall turn aside out of the way which I am commanding you to-day, —to go after other gods which ye know not.
maledictionem, si non obedieritis mandatis Domini Dei vestri, sed recesseritis de via, quam ego nunc ostendo vobis, et ambulaveritis post deos alienos, quos ignoratis.
29 And it shall come to pass when Yahweh thy God shall bring thee into the land which thou art entering to possess, then shalt thou put the blessing, upon Mount Gerizim, and the curse, upon Mount Ebal.
Cum vero introduxerit te Dominus Deus tuus in Terram, ad quam pergis habitandam, pones benedictionem super montem Garizim, maledictionem super montem Hebal:
30 Are, they, not over the Jordan on the way towards the entering in of the sun, in the land of the Canaanite who dwelleth in the plain over against Gilgal beside the Teacher’s Terebinths?
qui sunt trans Iordanem post viam, quæ vergit ad solis occubitum in Terra Chananæi, qui habitat in campestribus contra Galgalam, quæ est iuxta vallem tendentem et intrantem procul.
31 For ye are passing over the Jordan, to enter to possess the land which Yahweh your God, is giving unto you, —so shall ye possess it and dwell therein.
Vos enim transibitis Iordanem, ut possideatis Terram, quam Dominus Deus vester daturus est vobis, ut habeatis et possideatis illam.
32 Therefore shall ye observe to do all the statutes and the regulations, —which I am setting before you to-day.
Videte ergo ut impleatis ceremonias atque iudicia, quæ ego hodie ponam in conspectu vestro.
