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. Eo enim sum Dominus Deus vester.

“You do not make idols for yourselves; and you do not set up carved image or standing image for yourselves; and you do not put a stone of imagery in your land, to bow yourselves to it; for I [am] your God YHWH.

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

You keep My Sabbaths and you revere My sanctuary; I [am] YHWH.

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 you keep My commands, and have done them,

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

then I have given your rains in their season, and the land has given her produce, and the tree of the field gives its fruit;

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

and the threshing has reached to you, [and] the gathering, and the gathering reaches the sowing-[time]; and you have eaten your bread to satiety, and have dwelt confidently in your land.

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

And I have given peace in the land, and you have lain down, and there is none causing trembling; and I have caused evil beasts to cease out of the land, and the sword does not pass over into your land.

7 Persequemini inimicos vestros, et corruent coram vobis.

And you have pursued your enemies, and they have fallen 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.

and five of you have pursued one hundred, and one hundred of you pursue a myriad; and your enemies have fallen before you by the sword.

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

And I have turned to you, and have made you fruitful, and have multiplied you, and have established My covenant with you;

10 Comedetis vetustissima veterum, et vetera novis supervenientibus proiicietis.

and you have eaten old [store], and you bring out the old because of the new.

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

And I have given My Dwelling Place in your midst, and My soul does not loathe you;

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

and I have habitually walked in your midst, and have become your God, and you become 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] your God YHWH, who has brought you out of the land of the Egyptians, from being their servants; and I break the bars of your yoke and cause you to go erect.

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

And if you do not listen to Me and do not do all these commands,

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

and if you kick at My statutes, and if your soul loathes My judgments, so as not to do all My commands—to your breaking 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 do this to you: I have even appointed trouble over you, the consumption, and the burning fever, consuming eyes, and causing pain of soul; and you have sowed your seed in vain, and your enemies have eaten it;

17 Ponam faciem meam contra vos, et corruetis coram hostibus vestris, et subiiciemini his qui oderunt vos. Fugietis, nemine persequente.

and I have set My face against you, and you have been struck before your enemies; and those hating you have ruled over you, and you have fled when there is none pursuing you.

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

And if up to these you [still] do not listen to Me—then I have added to discipline you sevenfold for your sins;

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

and I have broken the pride of your strength, and have made your heavens as iron, and your earth as bronze;

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

and your strength has been consumed in vain, and your land does not give her produce, and the tree of the land does not give its fruit.

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

And if you walk with Me [in] opposition, and are not willing to listen to Me, then I have added to you a plague sevenfold, 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.

and sent the beast of the field against you, and it has bereaved you; and I have cut off your livestock, and have made you few, and your ways have been desolate.

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

And if by these you are not instructed by Me, and have walked with Me [in] opposition,

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

then I have walked—I also—with you in opposition, and have struck you, even I, sevenfold 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,

and I have brought in a sword on you, executing the vengeance of a covenant; and you have been gathered to your cities, and I have sent pestilence into your midst, and you have been given into the hand of an 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.

In My breaking your staff of bread, then ten women have baked your bread in one oven, and have given back your bread by weight; and you have eaten and are not satisfied.

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

And if for this you do not listen to Me, and have walked with Me in opposition,

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

then I have walked with you in the fury of opposition, and have disciplined you, even I, sevenfold for your sins.

29 ita ut comedatis carnes filiorum vestrorum et filiarum vestrarum.

And you have eaten [the] flesh of your sons; and you eat [the] flesh of your daughters.

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

And I have destroyed your high places, and cut down your images, and have put your carcasses on the carcasses of your idols, and My soul has loathed you;

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

and I have made your cities a ruin, and have made your sanctuaries desolate, and I do not smell your refreshing fragrance;

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

and I have made the land desolate, and your enemies who are dwelling in it have been astonished at it.

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

And I scatter you among nations, and have drawn out a sword after you, and your land has been a desolation, and your cities are a ruin.

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

Then the land enjoys its Sabbaths all the days of the desolation—and you [are] in the land of your enemies; then the land rests, and has enjoyed its Sabbaths;

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

it rests all the days of the desolation [for] that which it has not rested in your Sabbaths, in your dwelling 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,

And those who are left of you—I have also brought a faintness into their heart in the lands of their enemies, and the sound of a leaf driven away has pursued them, and they have fled [as in] flight from a sword—and they have fallen, and there is none pursuing.

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

And they have stumbled on one another, as from the face of a sword, and there is none pursuing, and you have no standing before your enemies,

38 Peribitis inter Gentes, et hostilis vos terra consumet.

and you have perished among the nations, and the land of your enemies has consumed you.

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

And those who are left of you—they consume away in their iniquity, in the lands of your enemies; and also in the iniquities of their fathers, they consume away with them.

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

And [if] they have confessed their iniquity and the iniquity of their fathers, in their trespass which they have trespassed against Me, and also that they have walked with Me in opposition,

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

when I also walk in opposition to them, and have brought them into the land of their enemies—if then their uncircumcised heart is humbled, and then they accept the punishment of their iniquity—

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

then I have remembered My covenant [with] Jacob, and also My covenant [with] Isaac, and also My covenant [with] Abraham I remember, and I 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 abiecerint iudicia mea, et leges meas despexerint.

And the land is left by them, and enjoys its Sabbaths, in the desolation without them, and they accept the punishment of their iniquity, because, even because, they have kicked against My judgments, and their soul has loathed My statutes,

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

and also even this, in their being in the land of their enemies, I have not rejected them, nor have I loathed them, to consume them, to break My covenant with them; for I [am] their God YHWH—

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

then I have remembered for them the covenant of the ancestors, whom I brought forth out of the land of Egypt before the eyes of the nations to become their God; I [am] YHWH.”

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

These [are] the statutes, and the judgments, and the laws, which YHWH has given between Him and the sons of Israel in Mount Sinai, by the hand of Moses.
