Deuteronomii 27
1 Præcepit autem Moyses et seniores Israël populo, dicentes: Custodite omne mandatum quod præcipio vobis hodie.
And Moses and the elders of Israel commanded, saying, Keep all these commands, all that I command you this day.
2 Cumque transieritis Jordanem in terram, quam Dominus Deus tuus dabit tibi, eriges ingentes lapides, et calce lævigabis eos,
And it shall come to pass in the day when you shall cross over Jordan into the land which the Lord your God gives you, that you shall set up for yourself great stones, and shall plaster them with plaster.
3 ut possis in eis scribere omnia verba legis hujus, Jordane transmisso: ut introëas terram, quam Dominus Deus tuus dabit tibi, terram lacte et melle manantem, sicut juravit patribus tuis.
And you shall write on these stones all the words of this law, as soon as you have crossed Jordan, when you are entered into the land, which the Lord God of your fathers gives you, a land flowing with milk and honey, according as the Lord God of your fathers said to you.
4 Quando ergo transieritis Jordanem, erigite lapides, quos ego hodie præcipio vobis in monte Hebal, et lævigabis eos calce:
And it shall be as soon as you are gone over Jordan, you shall set up these stones, which I command you this day, on mount Gaebal, and you shall plaster them with plaster.
5 et ædificabis ibi altare Domino Deo tuo de lapidibus, quos ferrum non tetigit,
And you shall build there an altar to the Lord your God, an altar of stones; you shall not lift up iron upon it.
6 et de saxis informibus et impolitis: et offeres super eo holocausta Domino Deo tuo,
Of whole stones shall you build an altar to the Lord your God, and you shall offer upon it whole burnt offerings to the Lord your God.
7 et immolabis hostias pacificas, comedesque ibi, et epulaberis coram Domino Deo tuo.
And you shall there offer a peace-offering; and you shall eat and be filled, and rejoice before the Lord your God.
8 Et scribes super lapides omnia verba legis hujus plane et lucide.
And you shall write upon the stones all this law very plainly.
9 Dixeruntque Moyses et sacerdotes Levitici generis ad omnem Israëlem: Attende, et audi, Israël: hodie factus es populus Domini Dei tui:
And Moses and the priests the Levites spoke to all Israel, saying, Be silent and hear, O Israel; this day you are become a people to the Lord your God.
10 audies vocem ejus, et facies mandata atque justitias, quas ego præcipio tibi.
And you shall listen to the voice of the Lord your God, and shall do all his commands, and his ordinances, as many as I command you this day.
11 Præcepitque Moyses populo in die illo, dicens:
And Moses charged the people on that day, saying,
12 Hi stabunt ad benedicendum populo super montem Garizim, Jordane transmisso: Simeon, Levi, Judas, Issachar, Joseph, et Benjamin.
These shall stand to bless the people on mount Garizin having gone over Jordan; Symeon, Levi, Judas, Issachar, Joseph, and Benjamin.
