Deuteronomii 10
1 In tempore illo dixit Dominus ad me: Dola tibi duas tabulas lapideas, sicut priores fuerunt, et ascende ad me in montem: faciesque arcam ligneam,
At that time the LORD said to me, “Chisel out two stone tablets like the originals, come up to Me on the mountain, and make an ark of wood.
2 et scribam in tabulis verba quæ fuerunt in his qui ante confregisti: ponesque eas in arca.
And I will write on the tablets the words that were on the first tablets, which you broke; and you are to place them in the ark.”
3 Feci igitur arcam de lignis setim. Cumque dolassem duas tabulas lapideas instar priorum, ascendi in montem, habens eas in manibus.
So I made an ark of acacia wood, chiseled out two stone tablets like the originals, and went up the mountain with the two tablets in my hands.
4 Scripsitque in tabulis, juxta id quod prius scripserat, verba decem, quæ locutus est Dominus ad vos in monte de medio ignis, quando populus congregatus est: et dedit eas mihi.
And the LORD wrote on the tablets what had been written previously, the Ten Commandments that He had spoken to you on the mountain out of the fire on the day of the assembly. The LORD gave them to me,
5 Reversusque de monte, descendi, et posui tabulas in arcam, quam feceram, quæ hucusque ibi sunt, sicut mihi præcepit Dominus.
and I went back down the mountain and placed the tablets in the ark I had made, as the LORD had commanded me; and there they have remained.
6 Filii autem Israël moverunt castra ex Beroth filiorum Jacan in Mosera, ubi Aaron mortuus ac sepultus est, pro quo sacerdotio functus est Eleazar filius ejus.
The Israelites traveled from Beeroth Bene-jaakan to Moserah, where Aaron died and was buried, and Eleazar his son succeeded him as priest.
7 Inde venerunt in Gadgad: de quo loco profecti, castrametati sunt in Jetebatha, in terra aquarum atque torrentium.
From there they traveled to Gudgodah, and from Gudgodah to Jotbathah, a land with streams of water.
8 Eo tempore separavit tribum Levi, ut portaret arcam fœderis Domini, et staret coram eo in ministerio, ac benediceret in nomine illius usque in præsentem diem.
At that time the LORD set apart the tribe of Levi to carry the ark of the covenant of the LORD, to stand before the LORD to serve Him, and to pronounce blessings in His name, as they do to this day.
9 Quam ob rem non habuit Levi partem, neque possessionem cum fratribus suis: quia ipse Dominus possessio ejus est, sicut promisit ei Dominus Deus tuus.
That is why Levi has no portion or inheritance among his brothers; the LORD is his inheritance, as the LORD your God promised him.
10 Ego autem steti in monte, sicut prius, quadraginta diebus ac noctibus: exaudivitque me Dominus etiam hac vice, et te perdere noluit.
I stayed on the mountain forty days and forty nights, like the first time, and that time the LORD again listened to me and agreed not to destroy you.
11 Dixitque mihi: Vade, et præcede populum, ut ingrediatur, et possideat terram, quam juravi patribus eorum ut traderem eis.
Then the LORD said to me, “Get up. Continue your journey ahead of the people, that they may enter and possess the land that I swore to their fathers to give them.”
12 Et nunc Israël, quid Dominus Deus tuus petit a te, nisi ut timeas Dominum Deum tuum, et ambules in viis ejus, et diligas eum, ac servias Domino Deo tuo in toto corde tuo, et in tota anima tua:
And now, O Israel, what does the LORD your God ask of you but to fear the LORD your God by walking in all His ways, to love Him, to serve the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul,
13 custodiasque mandata Domini, et cæremonias ejus, quas ego hodie præcipio tibi, ut bene sit tibi?
and to keep the commandments and statutes of the LORD that I am giving you this day for your own good?
14 En Domini Dei tui cælum est, et cælum cæli, terra, et omnia quæ in ea sunt:
Behold, to the LORD your God belong the heavens, even the highest heavens, and the earth and everything in it.
15 et tamen patribus tuis conglutinatus est Dominus, et amavit eos, elegitque semen eorum post eos, id est, vos, de cunctis gentibus, sicut hodie comprobatur.
Yet the LORD has set His affection on your fathers and loved them. And He has chosen you, their descendants after them, above all the peoples, even to this day.
16 Circumcidite igitur præputium cordis vestri, et cervicem vestram ne induretis amplius:
Circumcise your hearts, therefore, and stiffen your necks no more.
17 quia Dominus Deus vester ipse est Deus deorum, et Dominus dominantium, Deus magnus, et potens, et terribilis, qui personam non accipit, nec munera.
For the LORD your God is God of gods and Lord of lords, the great, mighty, and awesome God, showing no partiality and accepting no bribe.
18 Facit judicium pupillo et viduæ; amat peregrinum, et dat ei victum atque vestitum.
He executes justice for the fatherless and widow, and He loves the foreigner, giving him food and clothing.
19 Et vos ergo amate peregrinos, quia et ipsi fuistis advenæ in terra Ægypti.
So you also must love the foreigner, since you yourselves were foreigners in the land of Egypt.
20 Dominum Deum tuum timebis, et ei soli servies: ipsi adhærebis, jurabisque in nomine illius.
You are to fear the LORD your God and serve Him. Hold fast to Him and take your oaths in His name.
21 Ipse est laus tua, et Deus tuus, qui fecit tibi hæc magnalia et terribilia, quæ viderunt oculi tui.
He is your praise and He is your God, who has done for you these great and awesome wonders that your eyes have seen.
22 In septuaginta animabus descenderunt patres tui in Ægyptum, et ecce nunc multiplicavit te Dominus Deus tuus sicut astra cæli.
Your fathers went down to Egypt, seventy in all, and now the LORD your God has made you as numerous as the stars in the sky.
