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 bethink thyself among all the nations, whither the LORD 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 the LORD thy God, and hearken to His voice according to all that I command thee this day, thou and thy children, with all thy 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 the LORD thy God will turn thy captivity, and have compassion upon thee, and will return and gather thee from all the peoples, whither the LORD thy God hath scattered thee.
4 Si ad cardines cæli fueris dissipatus, inde te retrahet Dominus Deus tuus,
If any of thine that are dispersed be in the uttermost parts of heaven, from thence will the LORD 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 the LORD 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 the LORD thy God will circumcise thy heart, and the heart of thy seed, to love the LORD thy God with all thy 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 the LORD thy God will put all these curses upon thine enemies, and on them that hate thee, that 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 hearken to the voice of the LORD, 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 the LORD thy God will make thee over-abundant in all the work of thy hand, in the fruit of thy body, and in the fruit of thy cattle, and in the fruit of thy land, for good; for the LORD 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 to the voice of the LORD thy God, to keep His commandments and His statutes which are written in this book of the law; if thou turn unto the LORD thy God with all thy 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 too hard for 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, and make us to hear it, that we may 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, and make us to hear it, that we may 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 the LORD thy God, to walk in His ways, and to keep His commandments and His statutes and His ordinances; then thou shalt live and multiply, and the LORD thy God shall bless thee in the land whither thou goest in to possess it.
17 Si autem aversum fuerit cor tuum, et audire nolueris, atque errore deceptus adoraveris deos alienos, et servieris eis:
But if thy heart turn away, and 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 declare unto you this day, that ye shall surely perish; ye shall not prolong your days upon the land, whither thou passest over the Jordan to go in 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 witness against you this day, that I have set before thee life and death, the blessing and the curse; therefore choose life, that thou mayest live, thou and thy seed;
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.
to love the LORD thy God, to hearken to His voice, and to cleave unto Him; for that is thy life, and the length of thy days; that thou mayest dwell in the land which the LORD swore unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give them.
