Deuteronomii 27
1 Præcepit autem Moyses et seniores Israël populo, dicentes: Custodite omne mandatum quod præcipio vobis hodie.
Moses and the elders of Israel commanded the people, saying, "Keep all the commandment which I command you this day.
2 Cumque transieritis Jordanem in terram, quam Dominus Deus tuus dabit tibi, eriges ingentes lapides, et calce lævigabis eos,
It shall be on the day when you shall pass over the Jordan to the land which the LORD your God gives you, that you shall set yourself up great stones, and 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 them all the words of this law, when you have passed over; that you may go in to the land which the LORD your God gives you, a land flowing with milk and honey, as the LORD, the God of your fathers, has promised you.
4 Quando ergo transieritis Jordanem, erigite lapides, quos ego hodie præcipio vobis in monte Hebal, et lævigabis eos calce:
It shall be, when you have passed over the Jordan, that you shall set up these stones, which I command you this day, in Mount Ebal, and you shall plaster them with plaster.
5 et ædificabis ibi altare Domino Deo tuo de lapidibus, quos ferrum non tetigit,
There you shall build an altar to the LORD your God, an altar of stones: you shall lift up no iron on them.
6 et de saxis informibus et impolitis: et offeres super eo holocausta Domino Deo tuo,
You shall build the altar of the LORD your God of uncut stones; and you shall offer burnt offerings thereon to the LORD your God:
7 et immolabis hostias pacificas, comedesque ibi, et epulaberis coram Domino Deo tuo.
and you shall sacrifice peace offerings, and shall eat there; and you shall rejoice before the LORD your God.
8 Et scribes super lapides omnia verba legis hujus plane et lucide.
You shall write on the stones all the words of 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:
Moses and the priests the Levites spoke to all Israel, saying, "Keep silence, and listen, Israel: this day you have become the people of the LORD your God.
10 audies vocem ejus, et facies mandata atque justitias, quas ego præcipio tibi.
You shall therefore obey the voice of the LORD your God, and do his commandments and his statutes, which I command you this day."
11 Præcepitque Moyses populo in die illo, dicens:
Moses commanded the people the same day, saying,
12 Hi stabunt ad benedicendum populo super montem Garizim, Jordane transmisso: Simeon, Levi, Judas, Issachar, Joseph, et Benjamin.
"These shall stand on Mount Gerizim to bless the people, when you have passed over the Jordan: Simeon, and Levi, and Judah, and Issachar, and Joseph, and Benjamin.
13 Et e regione isti stabunt ad maledicendum in monte Hebal: Ruben, Gad, et Aser, et Zabulon, Dan, et Nephthali.
These shall stand on Mount Ebal for the curse: Reuben, Gad, and Asher, and Zebulun, Dan, and Naphtali.
14 Et pronuntiabunt Levitæ, dicentque ad omnes viros Israël excelsa voce:
The Levites shall answer, and tell all the men of Israel with a loud voice,
