Leviticus 26

1 Ego Dominus Deus vester: non facietis vobis idolum, et sculptile, nec titulos erigetis, nec insignem lapidem ponetis in terra vestra, ut adoretis eum. Ego enim sum Dominus Deus vester.

Do not make images of false gods, or put up an image cut in stone or a pillar or any pictured stone in your land, to give worship to it; for I am the Lord your God.

2 Custodite sabbata mea, et pavete ad sanctuarium meum. Ego Dominus.

Keep my Sabbaths and give honour to my holy place: I am the Lord.

3 Si in præceptis meis ambulaveritis, et mandata mea custodieritis, et feceritis ea, dabo vobis pluvias temporibus suis,

If you are guided by my rules, and keep my laws and do them,

4 et terra gignet germen suum, et pomis arbores replebuntur.

Then I will give you rain at the right time, and the land will give her increase and the trees of the field will give their fruit;

5 Apprehendet messium tritura vindemiam, et vindemia occupabit sementem: et comedetis panem vestrum in saturitate, et absque pavore habitabitis in terra vestra.

And the crushing of the grain will overtake the cutting of the grapes, and the cutting of the grapes will overtake the planting of the seed, and there will be bread in full measure, and you will be living in your land safely.

6 Dabo pacem in finibus vestris: dormietis, et non erit qui exterreat. Auferam malas bestias, et gladius non transibit terminos vestros.

And I will give you peace in the land, and you will take your rest and no one will give you cause for fear; and I will put an end to all evil beasts in the land, and no sword of war will go through your land.

7 Persequemini inimicos vestros, et corruent coram vobis.

And you will put to flight those who are against you, and they will be put to death by your swords.

8 Persequentur quinque de vestris centum alienos, et centum de vobis decem millia: cadent inimici vestri gladio in conspectu vestro.

Then five of you will put to flight a hundred, and a hundred of you will put to flight ten thousand, and all who are against you will be put to death by your swords.

9 Respiciam vos, et crescere faciam: multiplicabimini, et firmabo pactum meum vobiscum.

And I will have pleasure in you and make you fertile and greater in number; and I will keep my agreement with you.

10 Comedetis vetustissima veterum, et vetera novis supervenientibus projicietis.

And old stores long kept will be your food, and you will take out the old because of the new;

11 Ponam tabernaculum meum in medio vestri, et non abjiciet vos anima mea.

And I will put my holy House among you, and my soul will not be turned away from you in disgust.

12 Ambulabo inter vos, et ero Deus vester, vosque eritis populus meus.

And I will be present among you and will be your God and you will be my people.

13 Ego Dominus Deus vester, qui eduxi vos de terra Ægyptiorum, ne serviretis eis: et qui confregi catenas cervicum vestrarum, ut incederetis erecti.

I am the Lord your God, who took you out of the land of Egypt so that you might not be servants to them; by me the cords of your yoke were broken and I made you go upright.

14 Quod si non audieritis me, nec feceritis omnia mandata mea,

But if you do not give ear to me, and do not keep all these my laws;

15 si spreveritis leges meas, et judicia mea contempseritis, ut non faciatis ea quæ a me constituta sunt, et ad irritum perducatis pactum meum:

And if you go against my rules and if you have hate in your souls for my decisions and you do not do all my orders, but go against my agreement;

16 ego quoque hæc faciam vobis: visitabo vos velociter in egestate, et ardore, qui conficiat oculos vestros, et consumat animas vestras. Frustra seretis sementem, quæ ab hostibus devorabitur.

This will I do to you: I will put fear in your hearts, even wasting disease and burning pain, drying up the eyes and making the soul feeble, and you will get no profit from your seed, for your haters will take it for food.

17 Ponam faciem meam contra vos, et corruetis coram hostibus vestris, et subjiciemini his qui oderunt vos: fugietis, nemine persequente.

And my face will be turned from you, and you will be broken before those who are against you, and your haters will become your rulers, and you will go in flight when no man comes after you.

18 Sin autem nec sic obedieritis mihi, addam correptiones vestras septuplum propter peccata vestra,

And if, even after these things, you will not give ear to me, then I will send you punishment seven times more for your sins.

19 et conteram superbiam duritiæ vestræ. Daboque vobis cælum desuper sicut ferrum, et terram æneam.

And the pride of your strength will be broken, and I will make your heaven as iron and your earth as brass;

20 Consumetur incassum labor vester, non proferet terra germen, nec arbores poma præbebunt.

And your strength will be used up without profit; for your land will not give her increase and the trees of the field will not give their fruit.

21 Si ambulaveritis ex adverso mihi, nec volueritis audire me, addam plagas vestras in septuplum propter peccata vestra:

And if you still go against me and will not give ear to me, I will put seven times more punishments on you because of your sins.

22 immittamque in vos bestias agri, quæ consumant vos, et pecora vestra, et ad paucitatem cuncta redigant, desertæque fiant viæ vestræ.

I will let loose the beasts of the field among you, and they will take away your children and send destruction on your cattle, so that your numbers will become small and your roads become waste.

23 Quod si nec sic volueritis recipere disciplinam, sed ambulaveritis ex adverso mihi:

And if by these things you will not be turned to me, but still go against me;

24 ego quoque contra vos adversus incedam, et percutiam vos septies propter peccata vestra,

Then I will go against you, and I will give you punishment, I myself, seven times for all your sins.

25 inducamque super vos gladium ultorem fœderis mei. Cumque confugeritis in urbes, mittam pestilentiam in medio vestri, et trademini in manibus hostium,

And I will send a sword on you to give effect to the punishment of my agreement; and when you come together into your towns I will send disease among you and you will be given up into the hands of your haters.

26 postquam confregero baculum panis vestri: ita ut decem mulieres in uno clibano coquant panes, et reddant eos ad pondus: et comedetis, et non saturabimini.

When I take away your bread of life, ten women will be cooking bread in one oven, and your bread will be measured out by weight; you will have food but never enough.

27 Sin autem nec per hæc audieritis me, sed ambulaveritis contra me:

And if, after all this, you do not give ear to me, but go against me still,

28 et ego incedam adversus vos in furore contrario, et corripiam vos septem plagis propter peccata vestra:

Then my wrath will be burning against you, and I will give you punishment, I myself, seven times for your sins.

29 ita ut comedatis carnes filiorum vestrorum et filiarum vestrarum.

Then you will take the flesh of your sons and the flesh of your daughters for food;

30 Destruam excelsa vestra, et simulacra confringam. Cadetis inter ruinas idolorum vestrorum, et abominabitur vos anima mea,

And I will send destruction on your high places, overturning your perfume altars, and will put your dead bodies on your broken images, and my soul will be turned from you in disgust.

31 in tantum ut urbes vestras redigam in solitudinem, et deserta faciam sanctuaria vestra, nec recipiam ultra odorem suavissimum.

And I will make your towns waste and send destruction on your holy places; I will take no pleasure in the smell of your sweet perfumes;

32 Disperdamque terram vestram, et stupebunt super ea inimici vestri, cum habitatores illius fuerint.

And I will make your land a waste, a wonder to your haters living in it.

33 Vos autem dispergam in gentes, et evaginabo post vos gladium, eritque terra vestra deserta, et civitates vestræ dirutæ.

And I will send you out in all directions among the nations, and my sword will be uncovered against you, and your land will be without any living thing, and your towns will be made waste.

34 Tunc placebunt terræ sabbata sua cunctis diebus solitudinis suæ: quando fueritis

Then will the land take pleasure in its Sabbaths while it is waste and you are living in the land of your haters; then will the land have rest.

35 in terra hostili, sabbatizabit, et requiescet in sabbatis solitudinis suæ, eo quod non requieverit in sabbatis vestris quando habitabatis in ea.

All the days while it is waste will the land have rest, such rest as it never had in your Sabbaths, when you were living in it.

36 Et qui de vobis remanserint, dabo pavorem in cordibus eorum in regionibus hostium, terrebit eos sonitus folii volantis, et ita fugient quasi gladium: cadent, nullo persequente,

And as for the rest of you, I will make their hearts feeble in the land of their haters, and the sound of a leaf moved by the wind will send them in flight, and they will go in flight as from the sword, falling down when no one comes after them;

37 et corruent singuli super fratres suos, quasi bella fugientes, nemo vestrum inimicis audebit resistere.

Falling on one another, as before the sword, when no one comes after them; you will give way before your haters.

38 Peribitis inter gentes, et hostilis vos terra consumet.

And death will overtake you among strange nations, and the land of your haters will be your destruction.

39 Quod si et de iis aliqui remanserint, tabescent in iniquitatibus suis, in terra inimicorum suorum, et propter peccata patrum suorum et sua affligentur:

And those of you who are still living will be wasting away in their sins in the land of your haters; in the sins of their fathers they will be wasting away.

40 donec confiteantur iniquitates suas, et majorum suorum, quibus prævaricati sunt in me, et ambulaverunt ex adverso mihi.

And they will have grief for their sins and for the sins of their fathers, when their hearts were untrue to me, and they went against me;

41 Ambulabo igitur et ego contra eos, et inducam illos in terram hostilem, donec erubescat incircumcisa mens eorum: tunc orabunt pro impietatibus suis.

So that I went against them and sent them away into the land of their haters: if then the pride of their hearts is broken and they take the punishment of their sins,

42 Et recordabor fœderis mei, quod pepigi cum Jacob, et Isaac, et Abraham. Terræ quoque memor ero:

Then I will keep in mind the agreement which I made with Jacob and with Isaac and with Abraham, and I will keep in mind the land.

43 quæ cum relicta fuerit ab eis, complacebit sibi in sabbatis suis, patiens solitudinem propter illos. Ipsi vero rogabunt pro peccatis suis, eo quod abjecerint judicia mea, et leges meas despexerint.

And the land, while she is without them, will keep her Sabbaths; and they will undergo the punishment of their sins, because they were turned away from my decisions and in their souls was hate for my laws.

44 Et tamen etiam cum essent in terra hostili, non penitus abjeci eos, neque sic despexi ut consumerentur, et irritum facerent pactum meum cum eis. Ego enim sum Dominus Deus eorum,

But for all that, when they are in the land of their haters I will not let them go, or be turned away from them, or give them up completely; my agreement with them will not be broken, for I am the Lord their God.

45 et recordabor fœderis mei pristini, quando eduxi eos de terra Ægypti in conspectu gentium, ut essem Deus eorum. Ego Dominus.

And because of them I will keep in mind the agreement which I made with their fathers, whom I took out of the land of Egypt before the eyes of the nations, to be their God: I am the Lord.

46 Hæc sunt judicia atque præcepta et leges quas dedit Dominus inter se et filios Israël in monte Sinai per manum Moysi.

These are the rules, decisions, and laws, which the Lord made between himself and the children of Israel in Mount Sinai, by the hand of Moses.
