Leviticus 26
1 Ye shall not make unto you idols, —neither image nor pillar, shall ye set up for yourselves, nor sculptured stone, shall ye place in your land, to bow yourselves down thereunto, -For, I Yahweh, am your God.
Ego Dominus Deus vester: Non facietis vobis idolum et sculptile, nec titulos erigetis, nec insignem lapidem ponetis in terra vestra, ut adoretis eum. Eo enim sum Dominus Deus vester.
2 My sabbaths, shall ye observe, And, my sanctuary, shall ye revere, —I, am Yahweh.
Custodite sabbata mea, et pavete ad Sanctuarium meum. Ego Dominus.
3 If, in my statutes, ye will walk, —And my commandments, ye will observe, and do them,
Si in præceptis meis ambulaveritis, et mandata mea custodieritis, et feceritis ea, dabo vobis pluvias temporibus suis,
4 Then will I give your rains in their season, —And the land shall yield her increase, And, the trees of the field, shall yield their fruit.
et terra gignet germen suum, et pomis arbores replebuntur.
5 Then shall your threshing reach unto the vintage, And, the vintage, shall reach unto the seedtime, —And ye shall eat your food to the full, And shall dwell securely in your land.
Apprehendet messium tritura vindemiam, et vindemia occupabit sementem: et comedetis panem vestrum in saturitate, et absque pavore habitabitis in terra vestra.
6 And I will give peace in the land, And ye shall lie down, and nothing shall make you afraid; And I will take away vicious beasts out of the land; And, the sword, shall not go through your land.
Dabo pacem in finibus vestris: dormietis, et non erit qui exterreat. Auferam malas bestias: et gladius non transibit terminos vestros.
7 And ye shall chase your foes, —And they shall fall before you by the sword;
Persequemini inimicos vestros, et corruent coram vobis.
8 And, five, of you shall chase, a hundred, And, a hundred, of you shall put ten thousand to flight, —So shall your foes fall before you, by the sword.
Persequentur quinque de vestris centum alienos, et centum de vobis decem millia: cadent inimici vestri gladio in conspectu vestro.
9 And I will turn unto you, And make you fruitful, —And multiply you, And will establish my covenant with you.
Respiciam vos, et crescere faciam: multiplicabimini, et firmabo pactum meum vobiscum.
10 And ye shall eat old store well seasoned, —And the old from before the new, shall ye put forth.
Comedetis vetustissima veterum, et vetera novis supervenientibus proiicietis.
11 And I will set my habitation in your midst, —And my soul shall not abhor you;
Ponam tabernaculum meum in medio vestri, et non abiiciet vos anima mea.
12 But I will walk to and fro in your midst, And will be unto you a God, And, ye, shall be unto me a people.
Ambulabo inter vos, et ero Deus vester, vosque eritis populus meus.
13 I—Yahweh, am your God who brought you forth out of the land of Egypt, that ye should not be their bondmen; so I brake in pieces the staves of your yoke, and caused you to walk, erect.
Ego Dominus Deus vester: qui eduxi vos de Terra Ægyptiorum, ne serviretis eis, et qui confregi catenas cervicum vestrarum, ut incederetis erecti.
14 But, if ye will not hearken unto me, And will not do all these commandments;
Quod si non audieritis me, nec feceritis omnia mandata mea,
15 And if, my statutes, ye refuse, And, my regulations, your souls shall abhor, —So that ye will not do all my commandments, But shall break my covenant
si spreveritis leges meas, et iudicia mea contempseritis, ut non faciatis ea quæ a me constituta sunt, et ad irritum perducatis pactum meum:
16 I also, will do this unto you—I will set over you, for terror, consumption and fever, Causing the eyes to fail and the soul to pine away, —And ye shall sow, in vain, your seed, for it shall be eaten by your foes.
ego quoque hæc faciam vobis: Visitabo vos velociter in egestate, et ardore, qui conficiat oculos vestros, et consumat animas vestras. Frustra seretis sementem, quæ ab hostibus devorabitur.
17 And I will set my face against you, And ye shall be smitten before your foes, -And be trodden down by them who hate you, And shall flee when no one is pursuing you.
Ponam faciem meam contra vos, et corruetis coram hostibus vestris, et subiiciemini his qui oderunt vos. Fugietis, nemine persequente.
18 And, if even with these things, ye will not hearken unto me, Then will I yet further correct you seven times, for your sins.
Sin autem nec sic obedieritis mihi, addam correptiones vestras septuplum propter peccata vestra,
19 So will I break your pomp of power, And will set your heavens as iron, and your land as bronze;
et conteram superbiam duritiæ vestræ. Daboque vobis cælum desuper sicut ferrum, et terram æneam.
20 And your strength shall be spent in vain, —And your land shall not yield her increase, And the trees of the land, shall not yield their fruit.
Consumetur incassum labor vester, non proferet terra germen, nec arbores poma præbebunt.
21 If therefore, ye will go in opposition to me, And not be willing to hearken unto me, Then will I yet further plague you seven times according to your sins;
Si ambulaveritis ex adverso mihi, nec volueritis audire me, addam plagas vestras in septuplum propter peccata vestra:
22 And will send among you the wild-beast of the field And it shall rob you of your children, And cut off your cattle, And make you few in number; And your roads shall be silent.
immittamque in vos bestias agri, quæ consumant vos, et pecora vestra, et ad paucitatem cuncta redigant, desertæque fiant viæ vestræ.
23 And, if, by these things, ye will not be corrected by me, —But will go in opposition to me,
Quod si nec sic volueritis recipere disciplinam, sed ambulaveritis ex adverso mihi:
24 Then will, I also, go in opposition to you. And, I, even I, will plague you seven times for your sins;
ego quoque contra vos adversus incedam, et percutiam vos septies propter peccata vestra.
25 And will bring in upon you a sword that shall inflict the covenanted avenging: So shall ye be gathered into your cities, —Then will I send a pestilence into your midst, And ye shall be delivered into the hand of an enemy.
Inducamque super vos gladium ultorem fœderis mei. Cumque confugeritis in urbes, mittam pestilentiam in medio vestri, et trademini in manibus hostium,
26 When I have broken your staff of bread, then shall ten women bake your bread in one oven, And give back your bread by weight, —And ye shall eat and not be filled.
postquam confregero baculum panis vestri: ita ut decem mulieres in uno clibano coquant panes, et reddant eos ad pondus: et comedetis, et non saturabimini.
27 And, if, with this, ye will not hearken to me, —But will go in opposition to me,
Sin autem nec per hæc audieritis me, sed ambulaveritis contra me:
28 Then will I go in a rage of opposition to you, —And I, even I, will correct you seven times for your sins;
et ego incedam adversus vos in furore contrario, et corripiam vos septem plagis propter peccata vestra,
29 And ye shall eat the flesh of your sons, —Yea, even the flesh of your daughters, shall ye eat.
ita ut comedatis carnes filiorum vestrorum et filiarum vestrarum.
30 And I will destroy your high places And cut down your sun-pillars, And cast your carcases upon the carcases of your manufactured gods, —Thus shall my soul abhor you.
Destruam excelsa vestra, et simulacra confringam. Cadetis inter ruinas idolorum vestrorum, et abominabitur vos anima mea,
31 And I will give your cities unto desolation, And make your holy places dumb, —And will find no fragrance in your satisfying odour;
in tantum ut urbes vestras redigam in solitudinem, et deserta faciam Sanctuaria vestra, nec recipiam ultra odorem suavissimum.
32 And, I, will make the land dumb, And your foes that dwell therein shall regard it with dumb amazement:
Disperdamque terram vestram, et stupebunt super ea inimici vestri, cum habitatores illius fuerint.
33 When, even you, I scatter among the nations, And make bare after you, a sword, Then shall your land become an astonishment, And your cities become a desolation.
Vos autem dispergam in Gentes, et evaginabo post vos gladium, eritque terra vestra deserta, et civitates vestræ dirutæ.
34 Then, shall the land be paid her sabbaths, All the days she lieth desolate, While, ye, are in the land of your foes, —Then, shall the land keep sabbath, And pay off her sabbaths:
Tunc placebunt terræ sabbata sua cunctis diebus solitudinis suæ: quando fueritis
35 All the days she lieth desolate, shall she keep sabbath, —the which she kept not as your sabbaths, —while ye dwelt thereupon.
in terra hostili, sabbatizabit, et requiescet in sabbatis solitudinis suæ, eo quod non requieverit in sabbatis vestris quando habitabatis in ea.
36 And as for such as are left of you, Then will I bring faintness into their heart, in the lands of their foes, —So that the sound of a driven leaf shall chase them, And they shall flee as though fleeing from a sword And they shall fall, when no one is pursuing;
Et qui de vobis remanserint, dabo pavorem in cordibus eorum in regionibus hostium, terrebit eos sonitus folii volantis, et ita fugient quasi gladium: cadent, nullo persequente,
37 And they shall stumble one upon another as from before a sword, when, pursuer there is none; And ye shall not have wherewith to stand before your foes;
et corruent singuli super fratres suos quasi bella fugientes, nemo vestrum inimicis audebit resistere.
38 And ye shall perish among the nations, —And the land of your foes shall eat you up;
Peribitis inter Gentes, et hostilis vos terra consumet.
39 And they who are left of you, shall melt away in their iniquity, in the lands of your foes; Yea also, in the iniquity of their fathers with them, shall they melt away.
Quod si et de iis aliqui remanserint, tabescent in iniquitatibus suis, in terra inimicorum suorum, et propter peccata patrum suorum et sua affligentur:
40 Then shall they confess their iniquity, And the iniquity of their fathers, In their unfaithfulness wherewith they had been unfaithful towards me; Yea moreover, because they had gone in opposition to me,
donec confiteantur iniquitates suas, et maiorum suorum, quibus prævaricati sunt in me, et ambulaverunt ex adverso mihi.
41 I also, must needs go in opposition to them, and bring them into the land of their foes, —Save only that, if, even then, their uncircumcised heart shall be humbled, And, even then, they shall accept as a payment the punishment of their iniquity,
Ambulabo igitur et ego contra eos, et inducam illos in terram hostilem, donec erubescat incircumcisa mens eorum: tunc orabunt pro impietatibus suis.
42 Then will I remember my covenant with Jacob Yea moreover, my covenant with Isaac, Yea moreover, my covenant with Abraham, will I remember; And the land, will I remember.
Et recordabor fœderis mei quod pepigi cum Iacob, et Isaac, et Abraham. Terræ quoque memor ero:
43 For, the land, shall be left of them, And shall be paid her sabbaths, while she lieth desolate without them, They also, accepting, as a payment, the punishment of their iniquity, Because, yea because, my regulations, they refused, And my statutes, their soul abhorred.
quæ cum relicta fuerit ab eis, complacebit sibi in sabbatis suis, patiens solitudinem propter illos. Ipsi vero rogabunt pro peccatis suis, eo quod abiecerint iudicia mea, et leges meas despexerint.
44 And yet even so when they are in the land of their foes I have not refused them Neither have I abhorred them To make an end of them, To break my covenant with them, —For, I—Yahweh, am their God.
Et tamen etiam cum essent in terra hostili, non penitus abieci eos, neque sic despexi ut consumerentur, et irritum facerent pactum meum cum eis. Ego enim sum Dominus Deus eorum,
45 Therefore will I remember in their behalf the covenant of their ancestors, —Whom, I brought forth out of the land of Egypt in the sight of the nations, that I might be their God—I—Yahweh.
et recordabor fœderis mei pristini, quando eduxi eos de Terra Ægypti in conspectu Gentium, ut essem Deus eorum. Ego Dominus.
46 These are the statutes and the regulations and the laws, which Yahweh granted between himself, and the sons of Israel, —in Mount Sinai by the mediation of Moses.
Hæc sunt iudicia atque præcepta et leges, quas dedit Dominus inter se et filios Israel in monte Sinai per manum Moysi.
