Deuteronomy 27
1 And Moses with the elders of Israel commanded the people saying, —Observe all the commandment which I am commanding you to-day.
praecepit autem Moses et seniores Israhel populo dicentes custodite omne mandatum quod praecipio vobis hodie
2 So then it shall be in the day when ye shall pass over the Jordan, into the land which Yahweh thy God is giving unto thee, —that thou shalt rear thee up great stones, and plaster them with plaster;
cumque transieritis Iordanem in terram quam Dominus Deus tuus dabit tibi eriges ingentes lapides et calce levigabis eos
3 and shalt write upon them all the words of this law, when thou shalt pass over, —to the end that thou mayest enter upon the land which Yahweh thy God is giving unto thee a land flowing with milk and honey, as Yahweh the God of thy fathers hath spoken unto thee.
ut possis in eis scribere omnia verba legis huius Iordane transmisso ut introeas terram quam Dominus Deus tuus dabit tibi terram lacte et melle manantem sicut iuravit patribus tuis
4 So then it shall be when ye shall pass over the Jordan, that ye shall rear up these stones which I am commanding you to-day in Mount Ebal, —and thou shalt plaster them with plaster.
quando ergo transieritis Iordanem erige lapides quos ego hodie praecipio vobis in monte Hebal et levigabis calce
5 And thou shalt build there an altar unto Yahweh thy God, —an altar of stones, thou shalt not wield thereupon any tool of iron.
et aedificabis ibi altare Domino Deo tuo de lapidibus quos ferrum non tetigit
6 Of whole stones, shalt thou build the altar of Yahweh thy God, —then shalt thou cause to go up thereon ascending-sacrifices, unto Yahweh thy God;
et de saxis informibus et inpolitis et offeres super eo holocausta Domino Deo tuo
7 and thou shalt sacrifice peace-offerings and shalt eat there, —and rejoice before Yahweh thy God.
et immolabis hostias pacificas comedesque ibi et epulaberis coram Domino Deo tuo
8 And thou shalt write upon the stones all the words of this law doing it plainly and well.
et scribes super lapides omnia verba legis huius plane et lucide
9 And Moses and the priests the Levites spake unto all Israel saying, —Keep silence and hear O Israel, This day, hast thou been made a people unto Yahweh thy God.
dixeruntque Moses et sacerdotes levitici generis ad omnem Israhelem adtende et audi Israhel hodie factus es populus Domini Dei tui
10 Thou shalt therefore hearken unto the voice of Yahweh thy God, —and do his commandments and his statutes, which I am commanding thee to-day.
audies vocem eius et facies mandata atque iustitias quas ego praecipio tibi
11 And Moses commanded the people on that day, saying:
praecepitque Moses populo in die illo dicens
12 These, shall stand to bless the people upon Mount Gerizim, when ye have passed over the Jordan, —Simeon and Levi and Judah, and Issachar and Joseph and Benjamin;
hii stabunt ad benedicendum Domino super montem Garizim Iordane transmisso Symeon Levi Iudas Isachar Ioseph et Beniamin
13 and, these, shall stand by the curse in Mount Ebal, —Reuben Gad and Asher, and Zebulun Dan and Naphtali.
et e regione isti stabunt ad maledicendum in monte Hebal Ruben Gad et Aser Zabulon Dan et Nepthalim
14 Then shall the Levites respond and say unto every man of Israel with voice uplifted: —
et pronuntiabunt Levitae dicentque ad omnes viros Israhel excelsa voce
15 Cursed, be the man that maketh an image—cut or molten—an abomination unto Yahweh the work of the hands of the craftsman and putteth it in a secret place. And all the people shall respond and say—Amen.

16 Cursed, be he that holdeth in light esteem his father or his mother. And all the people shall say—Amen.

20 Cursed, be he that lieth with his father’s wife, because he hath turned aside his father’s coverlet. And all the people shall say—Amen.

24 Cursed, be he that smiteth his neighbour secretly. And all the people shall say—Amen.

25 Cursed, be he that taketh a bribe to shed innocent blood. And all the people shall say—Amen.
maledictus qui accipit munera ut percutiat animam sanguinis innocentis et dicet omnis populus amen
26 Cursed, be he that establisheth not the words of this law to do them. And all the people shall say—Amen.
maledictus qui non permanet in sermonibus legis huius nec eos opere perficit et dicet omnis populus amen
