Deuteronomii 6
1 Hæc sunt præcepta, et cæremoniæ, atque judicia, quæ mandavit Dominus Deus vester ut docerem vos, et faciatis ea in terra, ad quam transgredimini possidendam:
Now these are the commandments, the statutes, and the judgments, which the LORD your God commanded to teach you, that you might do them in the land where you go to possess it:
2 ut timeas Dominum Deum tuum, et custodias omnia mandata et præcepta ejus, quæ ego præcipio tibi, et filiis, ac nepotibus tuis, cunctis diebus vitæ tuæ, ut prolongentur dies tui.
That you might fear the LORD your God, to keep all his statutes and his commandments, which I command you, you, and your son, and your son’s son, all the days of your life; and that your days may be prolonged.
3 Audi, Israël, et observa ut facias quæ præcepit tibi Dominus, et bene sit tibi, et multipliceris amplius, sicut pollicitus est Dominus Deus patrum tuorum tibi terram lacte et melle manantem.
Hear therefore, O Israel, and observe to do it; that it may be well with you, and that you may increase mightily, as the LORD God of your fathers has promised you, in the land that flows with milk and honey.
4 Audi, Israël: Dominus Deus noster, Dominus unus est.
Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God is one LORD:
5 Diliges Dominum Deum tuum ex toto corde tuo, et ex tota anima tua, et ex tota fortitudine tua.
And you shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your might.
6 Eruntque verba hæc, quæ ego præcipio tibi hodie, in corde tuo:
And these words, which I command you this day, shall be in your heart:
7 et narrabis ea filiis tuis, et meditaberis in eis sedens in domo tua, et ambulans in itinere, dormiens atque consurgens.
And you shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, and when you walk by the way, and when you lie down, and when you rise up.
8 Et ligabis ea quasi signum in manu tua, eruntque et movebuntur inter oculos tuos,
And you shall bind them for a sign on your hand, and they shall be as frontlets between your eyes.
9 scribesque ea in limine, et ostiis domus tuæ.
And you shall write them on the posts of your house, and on your gates.
10 Cumque introduxerit te Dominus Deus tuus in terram, pro qua juravit patribus tuis Abraham, Isaac, et Jacob, et dederit tibi civitates magnas et optimas, quas non ædificasti,
And it shall be, when the LORD your God shall have brought you into the land which he swore to your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give you great and goodly cities, which you built not,
11 domos plenas cunctarum opum, quas non exstruxisti, cisternas, quas non fodisti, vineta et oliveta, quæ non plantasti,
And houses full of all good things, which you filled not, and wells dig, which you digged not, vineyards and olive trees, which you planted not; when you shall have eaten and be full;
12 et comederis, et saturatus fueris:
Then beware lest you forget the LORD, which brought you forth out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage.
13 cave diligenter ne obliviscaris Domini, qui eduxit te de terra Ægypti, de domo servitutis. Dominum Deum tuum timebis, et illi soli servies, ac per nomen illius jurabis.
You shall fear the LORD your God, and serve him, and shall swear by his name.
14 Non ibitis post deos alienos cunctarum gentium, quæ in circuitu vestro sunt:
You shall not go after other gods, of the gods of the people which are round about you;
15 quoniam Deus æmulator Dominus Deus tuus in medio tui: nequando irascatur furor Domini Dei tui contra te, et auferat te de superficie terræ.
(For the LORD your God is a jealous God among you) lest the anger of the LORD your God be kindled against you, and destroy you from off the face of the earth.
16 Non tentabis Dominum Deum tuum, sicut tentasti in loco tentationis.
You shall not tempt the LORD your God, as you tempted him in Massah.
17 Custodi præcepta Domini Dei tui, ac testimonia et cæremonias, quas præcepit tibi:
You shall diligently keep the commandments of the LORD your God, and his testimonies, and his statutes, which he has commanded you.
18 et fac quod placitum est et bonum in conspectu Domini, ut bene sit tibi: et ingressus possideas terram optimam, de qua juravit Dominus patribus tuis,
And you shall do that which is right and good in the sight of the LORD: that it may be well with you, and that you may go in and possess the good land which the LORD swore to your fathers.
19 ut deleret omnes inimicos tuos coram te, sicut locutus est.
To cast out all your enemies from before you, as the LORD has spoken.
20 Cumque interrogaverit te filius tuus cras, dicens: Quid sibi volunt testimonia hæc, et cæremoniæ, atque judicia, quæ præcepit Dominus Deus noster nobis?
And when your son asks you in time to come, saying, What mean the testimonies, and the statutes, and the judgments, which the LORD our God has commanded you?
21 dices ei: Servi eramus Pharaonis in Ægypto, et eduxit nos Dominus de Ægypto in manu forti:
Then you shall say to your son, We were Pharaoh’s slaves in Egypt; and the LORD brought us out of Egypt with a mighty hand:
22 fecitque signa atque prodigia magna et pessima in Ægypto contra Pharaonem, et omnem domum illius in conspectu nostro,
And the LORD showed signs and wonders, great and sore, on Egypt, on Pharaoh, and on all his household, before our eyes:
23 et eduxit nos inde, ut introductis daret terram, super qua juravit patribus nostris.
And he brought us out from there, that he might bring us in, to give us the land which he swore to our fathers.
24 Præcepitque nobis Dominus ut faciamus omnia legitima hæc, et timeamus Dominum Deum nostrum, ut bene sit nobis cunctis diebus vitæ nostræ, sicut est hodie.
And the LORD commanded us to do all these statutes, to fear the LORD our God, for our good always, that he might preserve us alive, as it is at this day.
25 Eritque nostri misericors, si custodierimus et fecerimus omnia præcepta ejus coram Domino Deo nostro, sicut mandavit nobis.
And it shall be our righteousness, if we observe to do all these commandments before the LORD our God, as he has commanded us.
