Deuteronomii 11

1 Ama itaque Dominum Deum tuum, et observa præcepta eius et ceremonias, iudicia atque mandata omni tempore.

Therefore you shall love the LORD your God, and keep his instructions, and his statutes, and his ordinances, and his commandments, always.

2 Cognoscite hodie quæ ignorant filii vestri, qui non viderunt disciplinam Domini Dei vestri, magnalia eius et robustam manum, extentumque brachium,

Know this day: for I do not speak with your children who have not known, and who have not seen the chastisement of the LORD your God, his greatness, his mighty hand, and his outstretched arm,

3 signa et opera quæ fecit in medio Ægypti Pharaoni regi, et universæ terræ eius,

and his signs, and his works, which he did in the midst of Egypt to Pharaoh the king of Egypt, and to all his land;

4 omnique exercitui Ægyptiorum, et equis ac curribus: quo modo operuerint eos aquæ Maris Rubri, cum vos persequerentur, et deleverit eos Dominus usque in præsentem diem:

and what he did to the army of Egypt, to their horses, and to their chariots; how he made the water of the Red Sea to overflow them as they pursued after you, and how the LORD has destroyed them to this day;

5 vobisque quæ fecerit in solitudine donec veniretis ad hunc locum:

and what he did to you in the wilderness, until you came to this place;

6 et Dathan atque Abiron filiis Eliab, qui fuit filius Ruben: quos aperto ore suo terra absorbuit cum domibus et tabernaculis, et universa substantia eorum, quam habebant in medio Israel.

and what he did to Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab, the son of Reuben; how the earth opened its mouth, and swallowed them up, and their households, and their tents, and every living thing that followed them, in the midst of all Israel:

7 Oculi vestri viderunt opera Domini magna quæ fecit,

but your eyes have seen all the great work of the LORD which he did.

8 ut custodiatis universa mandata illius, quæ ego hodie præcipio vobis, et possitis introire, et possidere Terram, ad quam ingredimini,

Therefore you shall keep every commandment which I command you this day, that you may be strong, and multiply, and go in and possess the land, where you go over to possess it;

9 multoque in ea vivatis tempore: quam sub iuramento pollicitus est Dominus patribus vestris, et semini eorum, lacte et melle manantem.

and that you may prolong your days in the land, which the LORD swore to your fathers to give to them and to their descendants, a land flowing with milk and honey.

10 Terra enim, ad quam ingrederis possidendam, non est sicut Terra Ægypti, de qua existi, ubi iacto semine in hortorum morem aquæ ducuntur irriguæ:

For the land, where you go in to possess it, isn't as the land of Egypt, that you came out from, where you sowed your seed, and watered it with your feet, as a garden of herbs;

11 sed montuosa est et campestris, de cælo expectans pluvias.

but the land, where you go over to possess it, is a land of hills and valleys which drinks water of the rain of the sky,

12 Quam Dominus Deus tuus semper invisit, et oculi illius in ea sunt a principio anni usque ad finem eius.

a land which the LORD your God cares for: the eyes of the LORD your God are always on it, from the beginning of the year even to the end of the year.

13 Si ergo obedieritis mandatis meis, quæ ego hodie præcipio vobis, ut diligatis Dominum Deum vestrum, et serviatis ei in toto corde vestro, et in tota anima vestra:

It shall happen, if you shall listen diligently to my commandments which I command you this day, to love the LORD your God, and to serve him with all your heart and with all your soul,

14 dabit pluviam terræ vestræ temporaneam et serotinam, ut colligatis frumentum, et vinum, et oleum,

that I will give the rain of your land in its season, the former rain and the latter rain, that you may gather in your grain, and your new wine, and your oil.

15 fœnumque ex agris ad pascenda iumenta, et ut ipsi comedatis ac saturemini.

I will give grass in your fields for your livestock, and you shall eat and be full.

16 Cavete ne forte decipiatur cor vestrum, et recedatis a Domino, serviatisque diis alienis, et adoretis eos:

Be careful, lest your heart be deceived, and you turn aside, and serve other gods, and worship them;

17 iratusque Dominus claudat cælum, et pluviæ non descendant, nec terra det germen suum, pereatisque velociter de Terra optima, quam Dominus daturus est vobis.

and the anger of the LORD be kindled against you, and he shut up the sky, so that there shall be no rain, and the land shall not yield its fruit; and you perish quickly from off the good land which the LORD gives you.

18 Ponite hæc verba mea in cordibus et in animis vestris, et suspendite ea pro signo in manibus, et inter oculos vestros collocate.

Therefore you shall lay up these my words in your heart and in your soul; and you shall bind them for a sign on your hand, and they shall be for symbols between your eyes.

19 Docete filios vestros ut illa meditentur, quando sederis in domo tua, et ambulaveris in via, et accubueris atque surrexeris.

You shall teach them your children, talking of them, when you sit in your house, and when you walk by the way, and when you lie down, and when you rise up.

20 Scribes ea super postes et ianuas domus tuæ:

You shall write them on the door posts of your house, and on your gates;

21 ut multiplicentur dies tui, et filiorum tuorum in Terra, quam iuravit Dominus patribus tuis, ut daret eis quamdiu cælum imminet terræ.

that your days may be multiplied, and the days of your children, in the land which the LORD swore to your fathers to give them, as the days of the heavens above the earth.

22 Si enim custodieritis mandata quæ ego præcipio vobis, et feceritis ea, ut diligatis Dominum Deum vestrum, et ambuletis in omnibus viis eius, adhærentes ei,

For if you shall diligently keep all this commandment which I command you to do, to love the LORD your God, to walk in all his ways, and to cling to him;

23 disperdet Dominus omnes gentes istas ante faciem vestram, et possidebitis eas, quæ maiores et fortiores vobis sunt.

then will the LORD drive out all these nations from before you, and you shall dispossess nations greater and mightier than yourselves.

24 Omnis locus, quem calcaverit pes vester, vester erit. A deserto, et a Libano, a flumine magno Euphrate usque ad mare occidentale erunt termini vestri.

Every place whereon the sole of your foot shall tread shall be yours: from the wilderness, and Lebanon, from the river, the river Perath, even to the western sea shall be your border.

25 Nullus stabit contra vos: terrorem vestrum et formidinem dabit Dominus Deus vester super omnem terram quam calcaturi estis, sicut locutus est vobis.

No man shall be able to stand before you: the LORD your God shall lay the fear of you and the dread of you on all the land that you shall tread on, as he has spoken to you.

26 En propono in conspectu vestro hodie benedictionem et maledictionem:

Look, I set before you this day a blessing and a curse:

27 benedictionem, si obedieritis mandatis Domini Dei vestri, quæ ego hodie præcipio vobis:

the blessing, if you shall listen to the commandments of the LORD your God, which I command you this day;

28 maledictionem, si non obedieritis mandatis Domini Dei vestri, sed recesseritis de via, quam ego nunc ostendo vobis, et ambulaveritis post deos alienos, quos ignoratis.

and the curse, if you shall not listen to the commandments of the LORD your God, but turn aside out of the way which I command you this day, to go after other gods, which you have not known.

29 Cum vero introduxerit te Dominus Deus tuus in Terram, ad quam pergis habitandam, pones benedictionem super montem Garizim, maledictionem super montem Hebal:

It shall happen, when the LORD your God shall bring you into the land where you go to possess it, that you shall set the blessing on Mount Gerizim, and the curse on Mount Ebal.

30 qui sunt trans Iordanem post viam, quæ vergit ad solis occubitum in Terra Chananæi, qui habitat in campestribus contra Galgalam, quæ est iuxta vallem tendentem et intrantem procul.

Aren't they beyond the Jordan, behind the way of the going down of the sun, in the land of the Canaanites who dwell in the Arabah, over against Gilgal, beside the oaks of Moreh?

31 Vos enim transibitis Iordanem, ut possideatis Terram, quam Dominus Deus vester daturus est vobis, ut habeatis et possideatis illam.

For you are to pass over the Jordan to go in to possess the land which the LORD your God gives you, and you shall possess it, and dwell in it.

32 Videte ergo ut impleatis ceremonias atque iudicia, quæ ego hodie ponam in conspectu vestro.

You shall observe to do all the statutes and the ordinances which I set before you this day.
