Deuteronomy 8
1 You must keep all the commands that I am giving you today, so that you may live and multiply, and go in and possess the land that Yahweh swore to your fathers.
Omne mandatum, quod ego praecipio tibi hodie, attende diligenter ut facias: ut possitis vivere, et multiplicemini, ingressique possideatis Terram, pro qua iuravit Dominus patribus vestris.
2 You will call to mind all the ways that Yahweh your God has led you these forty years in the wilderness, in order that he might humble you, that he might test you to know what was in your heart, as to whether you would keep his commandments or not.
Et recordaberis cuncti itineris, per quod adduxit te Dominus Deus tuus quadraginta annis per desertum, ut affligeret te, atque tentaret, et nota fierent quae in tuo animo versabantur, utrum custodires mandata illius, an non.
3 He humbled you, and made you hunger, and fed you with manna, which you had not known and which your fathers had not known. He did that to make you know that it is not by bread alone that people live; rather, it is by everything that proceeds out of the mouth of Yahweh that people live.
Afflixit te penuria, et dedit tibi cibum Manna, quod ignorabas tu et patres tui: ut ostenderet tibi quod non in solo pane vivat homo, sed in omni verbo quod egreditur de ore Dei.
4 Your clothing did not wear out and fall off you, and your feet did not swell up during those forty years.
Vestimentum tuum, quo operiebaris, nequaquam vetustate defecit, et pes tuus non est subtritus, en quadragesimus annus est.
5 You will think about in your heart, how, as a man disciplines his son, so Yahweh your God disciplines you.
Ut recogites in corde tuo, quia sicut erudit filium suum homo, sic Dominus Deus tuus erudivit te,
6 You will keep the commandments of Yahweh your God, so that you might walk in his ways and honor him.
ut custodias mandata Domini Dei tui, et ambules in viis eius, et timeas eum.
7 For Yahweh your God is bringing you into a good land, a land of brooks of water, of fountains and springs, flowing out into valleys and among hills;
Dominus enim Deus tuus introducet te in terram bonam, terram rivorum aquarumque et fontium: in cuius campis et montibus erumpunt fluviorum abyssi:
8 a land of wheat and barley, of vines, fig trees, and pomegranates; a land of olive trees and honey.
terram frumenti, hordei, ac vinearum, in qua ficus, et malogranata, et oliveta nascuntur: terram olei ac mellis.
9 It is a land in which you will eat bread without lack, and where you will not go without anything; a land whose stones are made of iron, and out of whose hills you may dig copper.
Ubi absque ulla penuria comedes panem tuum, et rerum omnium abundantia perfrueris: cuius lapides ferrum sunt, et de montibus eius aeris metalla fodiuntur:
10 You will eat and be full, and you will bless Yahweh your God for the good land that he has given you.
ut cum comederis, et satiatus fueris, benedicas Domino Deo tuo pro terra optima, quam dedit tibi.
11 Be careful that you do not forget Yahweh your God, and that you do not neglect his commandments, his ordinances, and his statutes that I am commanding you today,
Observa, et cave nequando obliviscaris Domini Dei tui, et negligas mandata eius atque iudicia et ceremonias, quas ego praecipio tibi hodie:
12 otherwise, when you eat and are full, and when you build good houses and live in them, your heart will be lifted up.
ne postquam comederis et satiatus fueris, domos pulchras aedificaveris, et habitaveris in eis,
13 Be careful when your herds and flocks multiply and when your silver and gold increase, and all that you have is multiplied,
habuerisque armenta boum et ovium greges, argenti et auri, cunctarumque rerum copiam,
14 then your heart becomes lifted up and you forget Yahweh your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
elevetur cor tuum, et non reminiscaris Domini Dei tui, qui eduxit te de Terra Aegypti, de domo servitutis:
15 Do not forget him who led you through the great and terrifying wilderness, with its fiery serpents and scorpions and thirsty ground where there was no water, who brought you water out of the rock of flint.
et ductor tuus fuit in solitudine magna atque terribili, in qua erat serpens flatu adurens, et scorpio ac dipsas, et nullae omnino aquae: qui eduxit rivos de petra durissima,
16 He fed you in the wilderness with manna that your ancestors had never known, so that he might humble you and test you, to do you good in the end,
et cibavit te Manna in solitudine, quod nescierunt patres tui. Et postquam afflixit ac probavit, ad extremum misertus est tui,
17 but you may say in your heart, 'My power and the might of my hand acquired all this wealth.'
ne diceres in corde tuo: Fortitudo mea, et robur manus meae, haec mihi omnia praestiterunt.
18 But you will call to mind Yahweh your God, for it is he who gives you the power to get wealth; that he may establish his covenant that he swore to your fathers, as it is today.
Sed recorderis Domini Dei tui, quod ipse vires tibi praebuerit, ut impleret pactum suum super quo iuravit patribus tuis, sicut praesens indicat dies.
19 It will happen that, if you will forget Yahweh your God and walk after other gods, worship them, and reverence them, I testify against you today that you will surely perish.
Sin autem oblitus Domini Dei tui, secutus fueris deos alienos, coluerisque illos et adoraveris: ecce nunc praedico tibi quod omnino dispereas.
20 Like the nations that Yahweh is making to perish before you, so will you perish, because you would not listen to the voice of Yahweh your God.
Sicut Gentes, quas delevit Dominus in introitu tuo, ita et vos peribitis, si inobedientes fueritis voci Domini Dei vestri.
