Deuteronomii 27
1 Præcepit autem Moyses et seniores Israel, populo dicentes: Custodite omne mandatum quod præcipio vobis hodie.
And Moses with the ancients of Israel commanded the people, saying: Keep every commandment that I command you this day.
2 Cumque transieritis Iordanem in Terram, quam Dominus Deus tuus dabit tibi, eriges ingentes lapides, et calce levigabis eos,
And when you are passed over the Jordan into the land which the Lord thy God will give thee, thou shalt set up great stones, and shalt plaster them over with plaster,
3 ut possis in eis scribere omnia verba legis huius, Iordane transmisso: ut introeas Terram, quam Dominus Deus tuus dabit tibi, terram lacte et melle manantem, sicut iuravit patribus tuis.
That thou mayst write on them all the words of this law, when thou art passed over the Jordan: that thou mayst enter into the land which the Lord thy God will give thee, a land flowing with milk and honey, as he swore to thy fathers.
4 Quando ergo transieritis Iordanem, erigite lapides, quos ego hodie præcipio vobis in monte Hebal, et levigabis eos calce:
Therefore when you are passed over the Jordan, set up the stones which I command you this day, in mount Hebal, and thou shalt plaster them with plaster:
5 et ædificabis ibi altare Domino Deo tuo de lapidibus, quos ferrum non tetigit,
And thou shalt build there an altar to the Lord thy God, of stones which iron hath not touched,
6 et de saxis informibus et impolitis: et offeres super eo holocausta Domino Deo tuo,
And of stones not fashioned nor polished: and thou shalt offer upon it holocausts to the Lord thy God:
7 et immolabis hostias pacificas, comedesque ibi, et epulaberis coram Domino Deo tuo.
And shalt immolate peace victims, and eat there, and feast before the Lord thy God.
8 Et scribes super lapides omnia verba legis huius plane et lucide.
And thou shalt write upon the stones all the words of this law plainly and clearly,
9 Dixeruntque Moyses et sacerdotes Levitici generis ad omnem Israelem: Attende, et audi Israel: Hodie factus es populus Domini Dei tui:
And Moses and the priests of the race of Levi said to all Israel: Attend, and hear, O Israel: This day thou art made the people of the Lord thy God.
10 audies vocem eius, et facies mandata atque iustitias, quas ego præcipio tibi.
Thou shalt hear his voice, and do the commandments and justices which I command thee.
11 Præcepitque Moyses populo in die illo, dicens:
And Moses commanded the people in that day, saying:
12 Hi stabunt ad benedicendum populo super montem Garizim, Iordane transmisso: Simeon, Levi, Iudas, Issachar, Ioseph, et Beniamin.
These shall stand upon mount Garizim to bless the people, when you are passed the Jordan: Simeon, Levi, Juda, Issachar, Joseph, and Benjamin.
13 Et e regione isti stabunt ad maledicendum in monte Hebal: Ruben, Gad, et Aser, et Zabulon, Dan et Nephthali.
And over against them shall stand on mount Hebal to curse: Ruben, Gad, and Aser, and Zabulon, Dan, and Nephtali.
14 Et pronunciabunt Levitæ, dicentque ad omnes viros Israel excelsa voce:
And the Levites shall pronounce, and say to all the men of Israel with a loud voice:
