Deuteronomii 30

1 Cum ergo venerint super te omnes sermones isti, benedictio, sive maledictio, quam proposui in conspectu tuo: et ductus pœnitudine cordis tui in universis gentibus, in quas disperserit te Dominus Deus tuus,

And it shall come to pass, when all these things are come upon thee, the blessing and the curse, which I have set before thee, and thou shalt call them to mind among all the nations, whither Yhwh thy God hath driven thee,

2 et reversus fueris ad eum, et obedieris eius imperiis, sicut ego hodie præcipio tibi, cum filiis tuis, in toto corde tuo, et in tota anima tua:

And shalt return unto Yhwh thy God, and shalt obey his voice according to all that I command thee this day, thou and thy children, with all thine heart, and with all thy soul;

3 reducet Dominus Deus tuus captivitatem tuam, ac miserebitur tui, et rursum congregabit te de cunctis populis, in quos te ante dispersit.

That then Yhwh thy God will turn thy captivity, and have compassion upon thee, and will return and gather thee from all the nations, whither Yhwh thy God hath scattered thee.

4 Si ad cardines cæli fueris dissipatus, inde te retrahet Dominus Deus tuus,

If any of thine be driven out unto the outmost parts of heaven, from thence will Yhwh thy God gather thee, and from thence will he fetch thee:

5 et assumet, atque introducet in Terram, quam possederunt patres tui, et obtinebis eam: et benedicens tibi, maioris numeri te esse faciat quam fuerunt patres tui.

And Yhwh thy God will bring thee into the land which thy fathers possessed, and thou shalt possess it; and he will do thee good, and multiply thee above thy fathers.

6 Circumcidet Dominus Deus tuus cor tuum, et cor seminis tui: ut diligas Dominum Deum tuum in toto corde tuo, et in tota anima tua, ut possis vivere.

And Yhwh thy God will circumcise thine heart, and the heart of thy seed, to love Yhwh thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, that thou mayest live.

7 Omnes autem maledictiones has convertet super inimicos tuos, et eos, qui oderunt te et persequuntur.

And Yhwh thy God will put all these curses upon thine enemies, and on them that hate thee, which persecuted thee.

8 Tu autem reverteris, et audies vocem Domini Dei tui: faciesque universa mandata quæ ego præcipio tibi hodie:

And thou shalt return and obey the voice of Yhwh, and do all his commandments which I command thee this day.

9 et abundare te faciet Dominus Deus tuus in cunctis operibus manuum tuarum, in sobole uteri tui, et in fructu iumentorum tuorum, in ubertate terræ tuæ, et in rerum omnium largitate. Revertetur enim Dominus, ut gaudeat super te in omnibus bonis, sicut gavisus est in patribus tuis:

And Yhwh thy God will make thee plenteous in every work of thine hand, in the fruit of thy body, and in the fruit of thy cattle, and in the fruit of thy land, for good: for Yhwh will again rejoice over thee for good, as he rejoiced over thy fathers:

10 si tamen audieris vocem Domini Dei tui, et custodieris præcepta eius et ceremonias, quæ in hac lege conscripta sunt: et revertaris ad Dominum Deum tuum in toto corde tuo, et in tota anima tua.

If thou shalt hearken unto the voice of Yhwh thy God, to keep his commandments and his statutes which are written in this book of the law, and if thou turn unto Yhwh thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul.

11 Mandatum hoc, quod ego præcipio tibi hodie, non supra te est, neque procul positum,

For this commandment which I command thee this day, it is not hidden from thee, neither is it far off.

12 nec in cælo situm, ut possis dicere: Quis nostrum valet ad cælum ascendere, ut deferat illud ad nos, et audiamus atque opere compleamus?

It is not in heaven, that thou shouldest say, Who shall go up for us to heaven, and bring it unto us, that we may hear it, and do it?

13 Neque trans mare positum: ut causeris, et dicas: Quis ex nobis poterit transfretare mare, et illud ad nos usque deferre: ut possimus audire, et facere quod præceptum est?

Neither is it beyond the sea, that thou shouldest say, Who shall go over the sea for us, and bring it unto us, that we may hear it, and do it?

14 Sed iuxta te est sermo valde, in ore tuo, et in corde tuo, ut facias illum.

But the word is very nigh unto thee, in thy mouth, and in thy heart, that thou mayest do it.

15 Considera quod hodie proposuerim in conspectu tuo vitam et bonum, et econtrario mortem et malum:

See, I have set before thee this day life and good, and death and evil;

16 ut diligas Dominum Deum tuum, et ambules in viis eius, et custodias mandata illius ac ceremonias atque iudicia: et vivas, atque multiplicet te, benedicatque tibi in Terra, ad quam ingredieris possidendam.

In that I command thee this day to love Yhwh thy God, to walk in his ways, and to keep his commandments and his statutes and his judgments, that thou mayest live and multiply: And Yhwh thy God shall bless thee in the land whither thou goest to possess it.

17 Si autem aversum fuerit cor tuum, et audire nolueris, atque errore deceptus adoraveris deos alienos, et servieris eis:

But if thine heart turn away, so that thou wilt not hear, but shalt be drawn away, and worship other gods, and serve them;

18 prædico tibi hodie quod pereas, et parvo tempore moreris in Terra, ad quam, Iordane transmisso, ingredieris possidendam.

I denounce unto you this day, that ye shall surely perish, and that ye shall not prolong your days upon the land, whither thou passest over Jordan to go to possess it.

19 Testes invoco hodie cælum et terram, quod proposuerim vobis vitam et mortem, benedictionem et maledictionem. Elige ergo vitam, ut et tu vivas, et semen tuum:

I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live:

20 et diligas Dominum Deum tuum, atque obedias voci eius, et illi adhæreas (ipse est enim vita tua, et longitudo dierum tuorum) ut habites in Terra, pro qua iuravit Dominus patribus tuis, Abraham, Isaac, et Iacob, ut daret eam illis.

That thou mayest love Yhwh thy God, and that thou mayest obey his voice, and that thou mayest cleave unto him: for he is thy life, and the length of thy days: that thou mayest dwell in the land which Yhwh sware unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give them.
