Leviticus 26

1 Ego Dominus Deus vester: non facietis vobis idolum, et sculptile, nec titulos erigetis, nec insignem lapidem ponetis in terra vestra, ut adoretis eum. Ego enim sum Dominus Deus vester.

“‘You shall make for yourselves no idols, and you shall not raise up a carved image or a pillar, and you shall not place any figured stone in your land, to bow down to it; for I am the LORD your God.

2 Custodite sabbata mea, et pavete ad sanctuarium meum. Ego Dominus.

“‘You shall keep my Sabbaths, and have reverence for my sanctuary. I am the LORD.

3 Si in præceptis meis ambulaveritis, et mandata mea custodieritis, et feceritis ea, dabo vobis pluvias temporibus suis,

“‘If you walk in my statutes and keep my commandments, and do them,

4 et terra gignet germen suum, et pomis arbores replebuntur.

then I will give you your rains in their season, and the land shall yield its increase, and the trees of the field shall yield their fruit.

5 Apprehendet messium tritura vindemiam, et vindemia occupabit sementem: et comedetis panem vestrum in saturitate, et absque pavore habitabitis in terra vestra.

Your threshing shall continue until the vintage, and the vintage shall continue until the sowing time. You shall eat your bread to the full, and dwell in your land safely.

6 Dabo pacem in finibus vestris: dormietis, et non erit qui exterreat. Auferam malas bestias, et gladius non transibit terminos vestros.

“‘I will give peace in the land, and you shall lie down, and no one will make you afraid. I will remove evil animals out of the land, neither shall the sword go through your land.

7 Persequemini inimicos vestros, et corruent coram vobis.

You shall chase your enemies, and they shall fall before you by the sword.

8 Persequentur quinque de vestris centum alienos, et centum de vobis decem millia: cadent inimici vestri gladio in conspectu vestro.

Five of you shall chase a hundred, and a hundred of you shall chase ten thousand; and your enemies shall fall before you by the sword.

9 Respiciam vos, et crescere faciam: multiplicabimini, et firmabo pactum meum vobiscum.

“‘I will have respect for you, make you fruitful, multiply you, and will establish my covenant with you.

10 Comedetis vetustissima veterum, et vetera novis supervenientibus projicietis.

You shall eat old supplies long kept, and you shall move out the old because of the new.

11 Ponam tabernaculum meum in medio vestri, et non abjiciet vos anima mea.

I will set my tent among you, and my soul won’t abhor you.

12 Ambulabo inter vos, et ero Deus vester, vosque eritis populus meus.

I will walk among you, and will be your God, and you will be my people.

13 Ego Dominus Deus vester, qui eduxi vos de terra Ægyptiorum, ne serviretis eis: et qui confregi catenas cervicum vestrarum, ut incederetis erecti.

I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, that you should not be their slaves. I have broken the bars of your yoke, and made you walk upright.

14 Quod si non audieritis me, nec feceritis omnia mandata mea,

“‘But if you will not listen to me, and will not do all these commandments,

15 si spreveritis leges meas, et judicia mea contempseritis, ut non faciatis ea quæ a me constituta sunt, et ad irritum perducatis pactum meum:

and if you shall reject my statutes, and if your soul abhors my ordinances, so that you will not do all my commandments, but break my covenant,

16 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.

I also will do this to you: I will appoint terror over you, even consumption and fever, that shall consume the eyes, and make the soul to pine away. You will sow your seed in vain, for your enemies will eat it.

17 Ponam faciem meam contra vos, et corruetis coram hostibus vestris, et subjiciemini his qui oderunt vos: fugietis, nemine persequente.

I will set my face against you, and you will be struck before your enemies. Those who hate you will rule over you; and you will flee when no one pursues you.

18 Sin autem nec sic obedieritis mihi, addam correptiones vestras septuplum propter peccata vestra,

“‘If you in spite of these things will not listen to me, then I will chastise you seven times more for your sins.

19 et conteram superbiam duritiæ vestræ. Daboque vobis cælum desuper sicut ferrum, et terram æneam.

I will break the pride of your power, and I will make your sky like iron, and your soil like bronze.

20 Consumetur incassum labor vester, non proferet terra germen, nec arbores poma præbebunt.

Your strength will be spent in vain; for your land won’t yield its increase, neither will the trees of the land yield their fruit.

21 Si ambulaveritis ex adverso mihi, nec volueritis audire me, addam plagas vestras in septuplum propter peccata vestra:

“‘If you walk contrary to me, and won’t listen to me, then I will bring seven times more plagues on you according to your sins.

22 immittamque in vos bestias agri, quæ consumant vos, et pecora vestra, et ad paucitatem cuncta redigant, desertæque fiant viæ vestræ.

I will send the wild animals among you, which will rob you of your children, destroy your livestock, and make you few in number. Your roads will become desolate.

23 Quod si nec sic volueritis recipere disciplinam, sed ambulaveritis ex adverso mihi:

“‘If by these things you won’t be turned back to me, but will walk contrary to me,

24 ego quoque contra vos adversus incedam, et percutiam vos septies propter peccata vestra,

then I will also walk contrary to you; and I will strike you, even I, seven times for your sins.

25 inducamque super vos gladium ultorem fœderis mei. Cumque confugeritis in urbes, mittam pestilentiam in medio vestri, et trademini in manibus hostium,

I will bring a sword upon you that will execute the vengeance of the covenant. You will be gathered together within your cities, and I will send the pestilence among you. You will be delivered into the hand of the enemy.

26 postquam confregero baculum panis vestri: ita ut decem mulieres in uno clibano coquant panes, et reddant eos ad pondus: et comedetis, et non saturabimini.

When I break your staff of bread, ten women shall bake your bread in one oven, and they shall deliver your bread again by weight. You shall eat, and not be satisfied.

27 Sin autem nec per hæc audieritis me, sed ambulaveritis contra me:

“‘If you in spite of this won’t listen to me, but walk contrary to me,

28 et ego incedam adversus vos in furore contrario, et corripiam vos septem plagis propter peccata vestra:

then I will walk contrary to you in wrath. I will also chastise you seven times for your sins.

29 ita ut comedatis carnes filiorum vestrorum et filiarum vestrarum.

You will eat the flesh of your sons, and you will eat the flesh of your daughters.

30 Destruam excelsa vestra, et simulacra confringam. Cadetis inter ruinas idolorum vestrorum, et abominabitur vos anima mea,

I will destroy your high places, and cut down your incense altars, and cast your dead bodies upon the bodies of your idols; and my soul will abhor you.

31 in tantum ut urbes vestras redigam in solitudinem, et deserta faciam sanctuaria vestra, nec recipiam ultra odorem suavissimum.

I will lay your cities waste, and will bring your sanctuaries to desolation. I will not take delight in the sweet fragrance of your offerings.

32 Disperdamque terram vestram, et stupebunt super ea inimici vestri, cum habitatores illius fuerint.

I will bring the land into desolation, and your enemies who dwell in it will be astonished at it.

33 Vos autem dispergam in gentes, et evaginabo post vos gladium, eritque terra vestra deserta, et civitates vestræ dirutæ.

I will scatter you among the nations, and I will draw out the sword after you. Your land will be a desolation, and your cities shall be a waste.

34 Tunc placebunt terræ sabbata sua cunctis diebus solitudinis suæ: quando fueritis

Then the land will enjoy its Sabbaths as long as it lies desolate and you are in your enemies’ land. Even then the land will rest and enjoy its Sabbaths.

35 in terra hostili, sabbatizabit, et requiescet in sabbatis solitudinis suæ, eo quod non requieverit in sabbatis vestris quando habitabatis in ea.

As long as it lies desolate it shall have rest, even the rest which it didn’t have in your Sabbaths when you lived on it.

36 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,

“‘As for those of you who are left, I will send a faintness into their hearts in the lands of their enemies. The sound of a driven leaf will put them to flight; and they shall flee, as one flees from the sword. They will fall when no one pursues.

37 et corruent singuli super fratres suos, quasi bella fugientes, nemo vestrum inimicis audebit resistere.

They will stumble over one another, as it were before the sword, when no one pursues. You will have no power to stand before your enemies.

38 Peribitis inter gentes, et hostilis vos terra consumet.

You will perish among the nations. The land of your enemies will eat you up.

39 Quod si et de iis aliqui remanserint, tabescent in iniquitatibus suis, in terra inimicorum suorum, et propter peccata patrum suorum et sua affligentur:

Those of you who are left will pine away in their iniquity in your enemies’ lands; and also in the iniquities of their fathers they shall pine away with them.

40 donec confiteantur iniquitates suas, et majorum suorum, quibus prævaricati sunt in me, et ambulaverunt ex adverso mihi.

“‘If they confess their iniquity and the iniquity of their fathers, in their trespass which they trespassed against me; and also that because they walked contrary to me,

41 Ambulabo igitur et ego contra eos, et inducam illos in terram hostilem, donec erubescat incircumcisa mens eorum: tunc orabunt pro impietatibus suis.

I also walked contrary to them, and brought them into the land of their enemies; if then their uncircumcised heart is humbled, and they then accept the punishment of their iniquity,

42 Et recordabor fœderis mei, quod pepigi cum Jacob, et Isaac, et Abraham. Terræ quoque memor ero:

then I will remember my covenant with Jacob, my covenant with Isaac, and also my covenant with Abraham; and I will remember the land.

43 quæ cum relicta fuerit ab eis, complacebit sibi in sabbatis suis, patiens solitudinem propter illos. Ipsi vero rogabunt pro peccatis suis, eo quod abjecerint judicia mea, et leges meas despexerint.

The land also will be left by them, and will enjoy its Sabbaths while it lies desolate without them; and they will accept the punishment of their iniquity because they rejected my ordinances, and their soul abhorred my statutes.

44 Et tamen etiam cum essent in terra hostili, non penitus abjeci eos, neque sic despexi ut consumerentur, et irritum facerent pactum meum cum eis. Ego enim sum Dominus Deus eorum,

Yet for all that, when they are in the land of their enemies, I will not reject them, neither will I abhor them, to destroy them utterly and to break my covenant with them; for I am the LORD their God.

45 et recordabor fœderis mei pristini, quando eduxi eos de terra Ægypti in conspectu gentium, ut essem Deus eorum. Ego Dominus.

But I will for their sake remember the covenant of their ancestors, whom I brought out of the land of Egypt in the sight of the nations, that I might be their God. I am the LORD.’”

46 Hæc sunt judicia atque præcepta et leges quas dedit Dominus inter se et filios Israël in monte Sinai per manum Moysi.

These are the statutes, ordinances, and laws, which the LORD made between him and the children of Israel in Mount Sinai by Moses.
