Deuteronomy 1
1 These [are] the words which Moses hath spoken unto all Israel, beyond the Jordan, in the wilderness, in the plain over-against Suph, between Paran and Tophel, and Laban, and Hazeroth, and Di-Zahab;
Hæc sunt verba, quæ locutus est Moyses ad omnem Israel trans Iordanem in solitudine campestri, contra Mare Rubrum, inter Pharan et Thophel et Laban et Haseroth, ubi auri est plurimum:
2 eleven days' from Horeb, the way of mount Seir, unto Kadesh-Barnea.
undecim diebus de Horeb per viam montis Seir usque ad Cadesbarne.
3 And it cometh to pass in the fortieth year, in the eleventh month, on the first of the month hath Moses spoken unto the sons of Israel according to all that Jehovah hath commanded him concerning them;
Quadragesimo anno, undecimo mense, prima die mensis locutus est Moyses ad filios Israel omnia quæ præceperat illi Dominus ut diceret eis:
4 after his smiting Sihon king of the Amorite who is dwelling in Heshbon, and Og king of Bashan who is dwelling in Ashtaroth in Edrei,
postquam percussit Sehon regem Amorrhæorum, qui habitabat in Hesebon: et Og regem Basan, qui mansit in Astaroth, et in Edrai,
5 beyond the Jordan, in the land of Moab, hath Moses begun to explain this law, saying:
trans Iordanem in Terra Moab. Cœpitque Moyses explanare legem, et dicere:
6 'Jehovah our God hath spoken unto us in Horeb, saying, Enough to you — of dwelling in this mount;
Dominus Deus noster locutus est ad nos in Horeb, dicens: Sufficit vobis quod in hoc monte mansistis:
7 turn ye and journey for you, and enter the mount of the Amorite, and unto all its neighbouring places, in the plain, in the hill-country, and in the low country, and in the south, and in the haven of the sea, the land of the Canaanite, and of Lebanon, unto the great river, the river Phrat;
revertimini, et venite ad montem Amorrhæorum, et ad cetera quæ ei proxima sunt campestria atque montana et humiliora loca contra Meridiem, et iuxta littus maris, Terram Chananæorum, et Libani usque ad flumen magnum Euphraten.
8 see, I have set before you the land; go in and possess the land which Jehovah hath sworn to your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give to them, and to their seed after them.
En, inquit, tradidi vobis: ingredimini et possidete eam, super qua iuravit Dominus patribus vestris Abraham, Isaac, et Iacob, ut daret illam eis, et semini eorum post eos.
9 'And I speak unto you at that time, saying, I am not able by myself to bear you;
Dixique vobis illo in tempore:
10 Jehovah your God hath multiplied you, and lo, ye [are] to-day as the stars of the heavens for multitude;
Non possum solus sustinere vos: quia Dominus Deus vester multiplicavit vos, et estis hodie sicut stellæ cæli, plurimi.
11 Jehovah, God of your fathers, is adding to you, as ye [are], a thousand times, and doth bless you as He hath spoken to you.
(Dominus Deus patrum vestrorum addat ad hunc numerum multa millia, et benedicat vobis sicut locutus est.)
12 'How do I bear by myself your pressure, and your burden, and your strife?
Non valeo solus negotia vestra sustinere, et pondus ac iurgia.
13 Give for yourselves men, wise and intelligent, and known to your tribes, and I set them for your heads;
Date ex vobis viros sapientes et gnaros, et quorum conversatio sit probata in tribubus vestris, ut ponam eos vobis principes.
14 and ye answer me and say, Good [is] the thing which thou hast spoken — to do.
Tunc respondistis mihi: Bona res est, quam vis facere.
15 'And I take the heads of your tribes, men, wise and known, and I appoint them heads over you, princes of thousands, and princes of hundreds, and princes of fifties, and princes of tens, and authorities, for your tribes.
Tulique de tribubus vestris viros sapientes et nobiles, et constitui eos principes, tribunos, et centuriones, et quinquagenarios ac decanos, qui docerent vos singula.
16 And I command your judges at that time, saying, Hearkening between your brethren — then ye have judged righteousness between a man, and his brother, and his sojourner;
Præcepique eis, dicens: Audite illos, et quod iustum est iudicate: sive civis sit ille, sive peregrinus.
17 ye do not discern faces in judgment; as the little so the great ye do hear; ye are not afraid of the face of any, for the judgment is God's, and the thing which is too hard for you, ye bring near unto me, and I have heard it;
Nulla erit distantia personarum, ita parvum audietis ut magnum: nec accipietis cuiusquam personam, quia Dei iudicium est. Quod si difficile vobis visum aliquid fuerit, referte ad me, et ego audiam.
18 and I command you, at that time, all the things which ye do.
Præcepique omnia quæ facere deberetis.
19 'And we journey from Horeb, and go [through] all that great and fearful wilderness which ye have seen — the way of the hill-country of the Amorite, as Jehovah our God hath commanded us, and we come in unto Kadesh-Barnea.
Profecti autem de Horeb, transivimus per eremum terribilem et maximam, quam vidistis, per viam montis Amorrhæi, sicut præceperat Dominus Deus noster nobis. Cumque venissemus in Cadesbarne,
20 'And I say unto you, Ye have come in unto the hill-country of the Amorite, which Jehovah our God is giving to us;
dixi vobis: Venistis ad montem Amorrhæi, quem Dominus Deus noster daturus est nobis.
21 see, Jehovah thy God hath set before thee the land; go up, possess, as Jehovah, God of thy fathers, hath spoken to thee; fear not, nor be affrighted.
Vide Terram, quam Dominus Deus tuus dat tibi: ascende et posside eam, sicut locutus est Dominus Deus noster patribus tuis: noli timere, nec quidquam paveas.
22 'And ye come near unto me, all of you, and say, Let us send men before us, and they search for us the land, and they bring us back word [concerning] the way in which we go up into it, and the cities unto which we come in;
Et accessistis ad me omnes, atque dixistis: Mittamus viros qui considerent Terram: et renuncient per quod iter debeamus ascendere, et ad quas pergere civitates.
23 and the thing is good in mine eyes, and I take of you twelve men, one man for a tribe.
Cumque mihi sermo placuisset, misi ex vobis duodecim viros, singulos de tribubus suis.
24 'And they turn and go up to the hill-country, and come in unto the valley of Eshcol, and spy it,
Qui cum perrexissent, et ascendissent in montana, venerunt usque ad Vallem Botri: et considerata terra,
25 and they take with their hand of the fruit of the land, and bring down unto us, and bring us back word, and say, Good is the land which Jehovah our God is giving to us.
sumentes de fructibus eius, ut ostenderent ubertatem, attulerunt ad nos, atque dixerunt: Bona est terra, quam Dominus Deus noster daturus est nobis.
26 'And ye have not been willing to go up, and ye provoke the mouth of Jehovah your God,
Et noluistis ascendere, sed increduli ad sermonem Domini Dei nostri
27 and murmur in your tents, and say, In Jehovah's hating us He hath brought us out of the land of Egypt, to give us into the hand of the Amorite — to destroy us;
murmurastis in tabernaculis vestris, atque dixisitis: Odit nos Dominus, et idcirco eduxit nos de Terra Ægypti, ut traderet nos in manu Amorrhæi, atque deleret.
28 whither are we going up? our brethren have melted our heart, saying, A people greater and taller than we, cities great and fenced to heaven, and also sons of Anakim — we have seen there.
Quo ascendemus? nuncii terruerunt cor nostrum, dicentes: Maxima multitudo est, et nobis statura procerior: urbes magnæ, et ad cælum usque munitæ: filios Enacim vidimus ibi.
29 'And I say unto you, Be not terrified, nor be afraid of them;
Et dixi vobis: Nolite metuere, nec timeatis eos:
30 Jehovah your God, who is going before you — He doth fight for you, according to all that He hath done with you in Egypt before your eyes,
Dominus Deus, qui ductor est vester, pro vobis ipse pugnabit, sicut fecit in Ægypto cunctis videntibus.
31 and in the wilderness, where thou hast seen that Jehovah thy God hath borne thee as a man beareth his son, in all the way which ye have gone, till your coming in unto this place.
Et in solitudine (ipse vidisti) portavit te Dominus Deus tuus, ut solet homo gestare parvulum filium suum, in omni via, per quam ambulastis, donec veniretis ad locum istum.
32 'And in this thing ye are not stedfast in Jehovah your God,
Et nec sic quidem credidistis Domino Deo vestro,
33 who is going before you in the way to search out to you a place for your encamping, in fire by night, to shew you in the way in which ye go, and in a cloud by day.
qui præcessit vos in via, et metatus est locum, in quo tentoria figere deberetis, nocte ostendens vobis iter per ignem, et die per columnam nubis.
34 'And Jehovah heareth the voice of your words, and is wroth, and sweareth, saying,
Cumque audisset Dominus vocem sermonum vestrorum, iratus iuravit et ait:
35 Not one of these men of this evil generation doth see the good land which I have sworn to give to your fathers,
Non videbit quispiam de hominibus generationis huius pessimæ Terram bonam, quam sub iuramento pollicitus sum patribus vestris:
36 save Caleb son of Jephunneh — he doth see it, and to him I give the land on which he hath trodden, and to his sons, because that he hath been fully after Jehovah.
præter Caleb filium Iephone. Ipse enim videbit eam, et ipsi dabo Terram, quam calcavit, et filiis eius, quia secutus est Dominum.
37 'Also with me hath Jehovah been angry for your sake, saying, Also, thou dost not go in thither;
Nec miranda indignatio in populum, cum mihi quoque iratus Dominus propter vos dixerit: Nec tu ingredieris illuc:
38 Joshua son of Nun, who is standing before thee, he goeth in thither; him strengthen thou; for he doth cause Israel to inherit.
sed Iosue filius Nun minister tuus, ipse intrabit pro te. Hunc exhortare et robora, et ipse sorte Terram dividet Israeli.
39 'And your infants, of whom ye have said, For a prey they are, and your sons who have not known to-day good and evil, they go in thither, and to them I give it, and they possess it;
Parvuli vestri, de quibus dixistis quod captivi ducerentur, et filii qui hodie boni ac mali ignorant distantiam, ipsi ingredientur: et ipsis dabo Terram, et possidebunt eam.
40 and ye, turn for yourselves, and journey toward the wilderness, the way of the Red Sea.
Vos autem revertimini et abite in solitudinem per viam Maris Rubri.
41 'And ye answer and say unto me, We have sinned against Jehovah; we — we go up, and we have fought, according to all that which Jehovah our God hath commanded us; and ye gird on each his weapons of war, and ye are ready to go up into the hill-country;
Et respondistis mihi: Peccavimus Domino: ascendemus et pugnabimus, sicut præcepit Dominus Deus noster. Cumque instructi armis pergeretis in montem,
42 and Jehovah saith unto me, Say to them, Ye do not go up, nor fight, for I am not in your midst, and ye are not smitten before your enemies.
ait mihi Dominus: Dic ad eos: Nolite ascendere, neque pugnetis, non enim sum vobiscum: ne cadatis coram inimicis vestris.
43 'And I speak unto you, and ye have not hearkened, and provoke the mouth of Jehovah, and act proudly, and go up into the hill-country;
Locutus sum, et non audistis: sed adversantes imperio Domini, et tumentes superbia ascendistis in montem.
44 and the Amorite who is dwelling in that hill-country cometh out to meet you, and they pursue you as the bees do, and smite you in Seir — unto Hormah.
Itaque egressus Amorrhæus, qui habitabat in montibus, et obviam veniens persecutus est vos, sicut solent apes persequi: et cecidit de Seir usque Horma.
45 'And ye turn back and weep before Jehovah, and Jehovah hath not hearkened to your voice, nor hath he given ear unto you;
Cumque reversi ploraretis coram Domino, non audivit vos, nec voci vestræ voluit acquiescere.
46 and ye dwell in Kadesh many days, according to the days which ye had dwelt.
Sedistis ergo in Cadesbarne multo tempore.
