Deuteronomy 4
1 And now O Israel listen to the statutes and to the judgments which I [am] about to teach you to observe so that you may live and you will go and you will take possession of the land which Yahweh [the] God of ancestors your [is] about to give to you.
Et nunc Israel audi præcepta et iudicia, quæ ego doceo te: ut faciens ea, vivas, et ingrediens possideas Terram, quam Dominus Deus patrum vestrorum daturus est vobis.
2 Not you must add to the word which I [am] about to command you and not you must diminish from it to keep [the] commandments of Yahweh God your which I [am] about to command you.
Non addetis ad verbum, quod vobis loquor, nec auferetis ex eo: custodite mandata Domini Dei vestri quæ ego præcipio vobis.
3 Own eyes your [are] the [ones which] saw [that] which he did Yahweh at Baal Peor for every person who he walked after Baal Peor he destroyed him Yahweh God your from midst your.
Oculi vestri viderunt omnia quæ fecit Dominus contra Beelphegor, quomodo contriverit omnes cultores eius de medio vestri.
4 And you who were clinging on Yahweh God your [are] alive all of you this day.
Vos autem qui adhæretis Domino Deo vestro, vivitis universi usque in præsentem diem.
5 See - I have taught you statutes and judgments just as he commanded me Yahweh God my to do thus in [the] midst of the land where you [are] about to go there towards to take possession of it.
Scitis quod docuerim vos præcepta atque iustitias, sicut mandavit mihi Dominus Deus meus: sic facietis ea in Terra, quam possessuri estis:
6 And you will take care and you will observe [them] for that [will be] wisdom your and understanding your to [the] eyes of the peoples which they will hear! all the statutes these and they will say certainly [is] a people wise and understanding the nation great this.
et observabitis et implebitis opere. Hæc est enim vestra sapientia, et intellectus coram populis, ut audientes universa præcepta hæc, dicant: En populus sapiens et intelligens, gens magna.
7 For who? [is] a nation great which [belongs] to it a god near to it like Yahweh God our in all calling we to him.
Nec est alia natio tam grandis, quæ habeat deos appropinquantes sibi, sicut Deus noster adest cunctis obsecrationibus nostris.
8 And who? [is] a nation great which [belongs] to it statutes and judgments righteous like all the law this which I [am] setting before you this day.
Quæ est enim alia gens sic inclyta ut habeat ceremonias, iustaque iudicia, et universam legem, quam ego proponam hodie ante oculos vestros?
9 Only take heed to yourself and guard self your exceedingly lest you should forget the things which they have seen eyes your and lest they should depart from heart your all [the] days of life your and you will make known them to children your and to [the] children of children your.
Custodi igitur temetipsum, et animam tuam solicite. Ne obliviscaris verborum, quæ viderunt oculi tui, et ne excidant de corde tuo cunctis diebus vitæ tuæ. Docebis ea filios ac nepotes tuos,
10 [the] day When you stood before Yahweh God your at Horeb when said Yahweh to me assemble to me the people so I may make hear them words my that they will learn! to fear me all the days which they [will be] alive on the land and children their they will teach!
a die in quo stetisti coram Domino Deo tuo in Horeb, quando Dominus locutus est mihi dicens: Congrega ad me populum, ut audiant sermones meos, et discant timere me omni tempore quo vivunt in terra, doceantque filios suos.
11 And you drew near! and you stood! under the mountain and the mountain [was] burning with fire to [the] heart of the heavens darkness cloud and thick darkness.
Et accessistis ad radices montis, qui ardebat usque ad cælum: erantque in eo tenebræ, et nubes, et caligo.
12 And he spoke Yahweh to you from [the] middle of the fire a sound of words you [were] hearing and a form not you [were] seeing except a voice.
Locutusque est Dominus ad vos de medio ignis. Vocem verborum eius audistis, et formam penitus non vidistis.
13 And he declared to you covenant his which he commanded you to observe [the] ten the words and he inscribed them on two tablets of stone.
Et ostendit vobis pactum suum, quod præcepit ut faceretis, et decem verba, quæ scripsit in duabus tabulis lapideis.
14 And me he commanded Yahweh at the time that to teach you statutes and judgments to observe you them in the land where you [are] about to pass over there towards to take possession of it.
Mihique mandavit in illo tempore ut docerem vos ceremonias et iudicia, quæ facere deberetis in Terra, quam possessuri estis.
15 And you will take heed exceedingly to selves your for not you saw any form on [the] day [when] he spoke Yahweh to you at Horeb from [the] middle of the fire.
Custodite igitur solicite animas vestras. Non vidistis aliquam similitudinem in die, qua locutus est vobis Dominus in Horeb de medio ignis:
16 Lest you should act corruptly! and you will make for yourselves an image of a form of any figure a likeness of a male or a female.
ne forte decepti faciatis vobis sculptam similitudinem, aut imaginem masculi vel feminæ,
17 A likeness of any animal which [is] on the earth a likeness of any bird of wing which it flies in the heavens.
similitudinem omnium iumentorum, quæ sunt super terram, vel avium sub cælo volantium,
18 A likeness of any creeping [thing] on the ground a likeness of any fish which [is] in the waters from under to the earth.
atque reptilium, quæ moventur in terra, sive piscium qui sub terra morantur in aquis:
19 And lest you should lift up eyes your the heavens towards and you will see the sun and the moon and the stars all [the] host of the heavens and you will be drawn aside and you will bow down to them and you will serve them which he has assigned Yahweh God your them to all the peoples under all the heavens.
ne forte elevatis oculis ad cælum, videas Solem et Lunam, et omnia astra cæli, et errore deceptus adores ea et colas quæ creavit Dominus Deus tuus in ministerium cunctis gentibus, quæ sub cælo sunt.
20 And you he took Yahweh and he brought out you from [the] furnace of iron from Egypt to become for him a people of inheritance as the day this.
Vos autem tulit Dominus, et eduxit de fornace ferrea Ægypti, ut haberet populum hereditarium, sicut est in præsenti die.
21 And Yahweh he was angry with me on words your and he swore to not to pass over I the Jordan and to not to go into the land good which Yahweh God your [is] about to give to you an inheritance.
Iratusque est Dominus contra me propter sermones vestros, et iuravit ut non transirem Iordanem, nec ingrederer Terram optimam, quam daturus est vobis.
22 For I [am] about to die in the land this not I [am] about to pass over the Jordan and you [are] about to pass over and you will take possession of the land good this.
Ecce morior in hac humo, non transibo Iordanem: vos transibitis, et possidebitis terram egregiam.
23 Take heed to yourselves lest you should forget [the] covenant of Yahweh God your which he has made with you and you will make for yourselves an image a form of anything which he commanded you Yahweh God your.
Cave ne quando obliviscaris pacti Domini Dei tui, quod pepigit tecum: et facias tibi sculptam similitudinem eorum, quæ fieri Dominus prohibuit:
24 For Yahweh God your [is] a fire consuming he a God jealous.
quia Dominus Deus tuus ignis consumens est, Deus æmulator.
25 For you will father children and children of children and you will grow old in the land and you will act corruptly and you will make an image of a form of anything and you will do the evil in [the] eyes of Yahweh God your to provoke to anger him.
Si genueritis filios ac nepotes, et morati fueritis in Terra, deceptique feceritis vobis aliquam similitudinem, patrantes malum coram Domino Deo vestro, ut eum ad iracundiam provocetis:
26 I call as witnesses against you this day the heavens and the earth that certainly you will perish! quickly from on the land where you [are] about to pass over the Jordan there towards to take possession of it not you will prolong! days on it for utterly you will be destroyed!
testes invoco hodie cælum et terram, cito perituros vos esse de Terra, quam transito Iordane possessuri estis. Non habitabitis in ea longo tempore, sed delebit vos Dominus,
27 And he will scatter Yahweh you among the peoples and you will be left men of number among the nations where he will drive away Yahweh you there towards.
atque disperget in omnes gentes, et remanebitis pauci in nationibus, ad quas vos ducturus est Dominus.
28 And you will serve there gods [the] work of [the] hands of a human wood and stone which not they see! and not they hear! and not they eat! and not they smell!
Ibique servietis diis, qui hominum manu fabricati sunt, ligno et lapidi qui non vident, nec audiunt, nec comedunt, nec odorantur.
29 And you will seek from there Yahweh God your and you will find [him] for you will seek him with all heart your and with all being your.
Cumque quæsieris ibi Dominum Deum tuum, invenies eum: si tamen toto corde quæsieris, et tota tribulatione animæ tuæ.
30 When it is distress to you and they will come upon you all the things these at [the] end of the days and you will return to Yahweh God your and you will listen to voice his.
Postquam te invenerint omnia quæ prædicta sunt, novissimo tempore reverteris ad Dominum Deum tuum, et audies vocem eius.
31 For [is] a God compassionate Yahweh God your not he will abandon you and not he will destroy you and not he will forget [the] covenant of ancestors your which he swore to them.
Quia Deus misericors Dominus Deus tuus est: non dimittet te, nec omnino delebit, neque obliviscetur pacti, in quo iuravit patribus tuis.
32 That ask please to days former which they were before you from the day when he created God - humankind on the earth and to from [the] end of the heavens and to [the] end of the heavens ¿ has it happened like the thing great this or ¿ has it been heard like it.
Interroga de diebus antiquis, qui fuerunt ante te ex die quo creavit Deus hominem super terram, a summo cælo usque ad summum eius, si facta est aliquando huiuscemodi res, aut umquam cognitum est,
33 ¿ Has it heard a people [the] voice of a god speaking from [the] middle of the fire just as you have heard you and has it lived?
ut audiret populus vocem Dei loquentis de medio ignis, sicut tu audisti, et vixisti:
34 Or - ¿ has it attempted a god to come to take for itself a nation from [the] midst of a nation by trials by signs and by wonders and by battle and by a hand strong and by an arm outstretched and by terrors great like all that he did for you Yahweh God your in Egypt to eyes your.
si fecit Deus ut ingrederetur, et tolleret sibi gentem de medio nationum, per tentationes, signa, atque portenta, per pugnam, et robustam manum, extentumque brachium, et horribiles visiones iuxta omnia, quæ fecit pro vobis Dominus Deus vester in Ægypto, videntibus oculis tuis:
35 You you were shown to know that Yahweh he [is] God there not [is] still more from to alone him.
ut scires quoniam Dominus ipse est Deus, et non est alius præter eum.
36 From the heavens he caused to hear you voice his to discipline you and on the earth he showed you fire his great and words his you heard from [the] middle of the fire.
De cælo te fecit audire vocem suam, ut doceret te, et in terra ostendit tibi ignem suum maximum, et audisti verba illius de medio ignis,
37 And because that he loved ancestors your and he chose offspring his after him and he brought out you by own presence his by power his great from Egypt.
quia dilexit patres tuos, et elegit semen eorum post eos. Eduxitque te præcedens in virtute sua magna ex Ægypto,
38 To dispossess nations great and mighty more than you from before you to bring in you to give to you land their an inheritance as the day this.
ut deleret nationes maximas et fortiores te in introitu tuo: et introduceret te, daretque tibi terram earum in possessionem, sicut cernis in præsenti die.
39 And you will know this day and you will bring back to heart your that Yahweh he [is] God in the heavens above and on the earth beneath there not [is] still more.
Scito ergo hodie, et cogitato in corde tuo quod Dominus ipse sit Deus in cælo sursum, et in terra deorsum, et non sit alius.
40 And you will keep statutes his and commandments his which I [am] commanding you this day that it will go well for you and for children your after you and so that you may prolong days on (the land *L(abh)*) which Yahweh God your [is] about to give to you all the days.
Custodi præcepta eius atque mandata, quæ ego præcipio tibi: ut bene sit tibi, et filiis tuis post te, et permaneas multo tempore super Terram, quam Dominus Deus tuus daturus est tibi.
41 Then he set apart Moses three cities on [the] other side of the Jordan [the] rising of towards [the] sun.
Tunc separavit Moyses tres civitates trans Iordanem ad Orientalem plagam,
42 To flee there towards a killer who he will kill neighbor his with no knowledge and he not [was] hating him from yesterday [the] third day and he will flee to one of the cities these and he will live.
ut confugiat ad eas qui occiderit nolens proximum suum, nec sibi fuerit inimicus ante unum et alterum diem, et ad harum aliquam urbium possit evadere:
43 Bezer in the wilderness in [the] land of the plain for the Reubenite[s] and Ramoth in Gilead for the Gadite[s] and Golan in Bashan for the Manassite[s].
Bosor in solitudine, quæ sita est in terra campestri de tribu Ruben: et Ramoth in Galaad, quæ est in tribu Gad: et Golan in Basan, quæ est in tribu Manasse.
44 And this [is] the law which he set Moses before [the] people of Israel.
Ista est lex, quam proposuit Moyses coram filiis Israel,
45 These [are] the testimonies and the statutes and the judgments which he spoke Moses to [the] people of Israel when came out they from Egypt.
et hæc testimonia et ceremoniæ atque iudicia, quæ locutus est ad filios Israel, quando egressi sunt de Ægypto,
46 On [the] other side of the Jordan in the valley opposite to Beth Peor in [the] land of Sihon [the] king of the Amorite[s] who [was] dwelling in Heshbon whom he struck down Moses and [the] people of Israel when came out they from Egypt.
trans Iordanem in valle contra fanum Phogor in terra Sehon regis Amorrhæi, qui habitavit in Hesebon, quem percussit Moyses. Filii quoque Israel egressi ex Ægypto
47 And they took possession of land his and [the] land of - Og [the] king of Bashan [the] two [the] kings of the Amorite[s] who [was] on [the] other side of the Jordan [the] rising of [the] sun.
possederunt terram eius, et terram Og regis Basan, duorum regum Amorrhæorum, qui erant trans Iordanem ad solis ortum:
48 From Aroer which [is] on [the] edge of [the] wadi of Arnon and to [the] mountain of Siyon that [is] Hermon.
Ab Aroer, quæ sita est super ripam torrentis Arnon, usque ad montem Sion, qui est et Hermon,
49 And all the Arabah [the] other side of the Jordan east-wards and to [the] sea of the Arabah under [the] slopes of Pisgah.
omnem planitiem trans Iordanem ad Orientalem plagam, usque ad mare solitudinis, et usque ad radices montis Phasga.
