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, Make two other stones, cut like the first two, and come up to me on the mountain, and make an ark of wood.

2 et scribam in tabulis verba quae fuerunt in his, qui ante confregisti, ponesque eas in arca.

And I will put on the stones the words which were on the first stones which were broken by you, and you are to put them into 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 hard wood, and had two stones cut like the others, and went up the mountain with the stones in my hands.

4 Scripsitque in tabulis iuxta id, quod prius scripserat, verba decem, quae locutus est Dominus ad vos in monte de medio ignis, quando populus congregatus est: et dedit eas mihi.

And he put on the stones, as in the first writing, the ten rules which the Lord gave you on the mountain out of the fire on the day of the great meeting: and the Lord gave the stones to me.

5 Reversusque de monte, descendi, et posui tabulas in arcam, quam feceram, quae hucusque ibi sunt, sicut mihi praecepit Dominus.

And turning round I came down from the mountain and put the stones in the ark which I had made; and there they are as the Lord gave me orders.

6 Filii autem Israel moverunt castra ex Beroth filiorum Iacan in Mosera, ubi Aaron mortuus ac sepultus est, pro quo, sacerdotio functus est Eleazar filius eius.

(And the children of Israel went on from Beeroth Bene-jaakan to Moserah: there death came to Aaron and he was put to rest in the earth; and Eleazar, his son, took his place as priest.

7 Inde venerunt in Gadgad: de quo loco profecti, castrametati sunt in Ietebatha, in Terra aquarum atque torrentium.

From there they went on to Gudgodah, and from Gudgodah to Jotbathah, a land of streams of water.

8 Eo tempore separavit tribum Levi, ut portaret arcam foederis Domini, et staret coram eo in ministerio, ac benediceret in nomine illius usque in praesentem diem.

At that time the Lord had the tribe of Levi marked out to take up the ark of the Lord's agreement, to be before the Lord and to do his work and to give blessings in his name, to this day.

9 Quam ob rem non habuit Levi partem, neque possessionem cum fratribus suis: quia ipse Dominus possessio eius est, sicut promisit ei Dominus Deus tuus.

For this reason Levi has no part or heritage for himself among his brothers: the Lord is his heritage, as the Lord your God said to him.)

10 Ego autem steti in monte, sicut prius, quadraginta diebus ac noctibus: exaudivitque me Dominus etiam hac vice, et te perdere noluit.

And I was in the mountain, as at the first time, for forty days and forty nights; and again the ears of the Lord were open to my prayer, and he did not send destruction on you.

11 Dixitque mihi: Vade, et praecede populum, ut ingrediatur, et possideat Terram, quam iuravi patribus eorum ut traderem eis.

Then the Lord said to me, Get up and go on your journey before the people, so that they may go in and take the land which I said in my oath to their fathers that I would give them.

12 Et nunc Israel, quid Dominus Deus tuus petit a te, nisi ut timeas Dominum Deum tuum, et ambules in viis eius, et diligas eum, ac servias Domino Deo tuo in toto corde tuo, et in tota anima tua:

And now, Israel, what would the Lord your God have you do, but to go in the fear of the Lord your God, walking in all his ways and loving him and doing his pleasure with all your heart and all your soul,

13 custodiasque mandata Domini, et ceremonias eius, quas ego hodie praecipio tibi, ut bene sit tibi?

Doing the orders of the Lord and keeping his laws which I give you this day for your good?

14 En Domini Dei tui caelum est, et caelum caeli, terra et omnia, quae in ea sunt:

The Lord your God is ruler of heaven, of the heaven of heavens, and of the earth with 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.

But the Lord had delight in your fathers and love for them, marking out for himself their seed after them, even you, from all peoples, as at this day.

16 Circumcidite igitur praeputium cordis vestri, et cervicem vestram ne induretis amplius:

Let your circumcision be of the heart, and put away your pride.

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 God, strong in power and greatly to be feared, who has no respect for any man's position and takes no rewards:

18 Facit iudicium pupillo et viduae, amat peregrinum, et dat ei victum atque vestitum.

Judging uprightly in the cause of the widow and of the child who has no father, and giving food and clothing in his mercy to the man from a strange country.

19 et vos ergo amate peregrinos, quia et ipsi fuistis advenae in Terra Aegypti.

So be kind to the man from a strange country who is living among you, for you yourselves were living in a strange country in the land of Egypt.

20 Dominum Deum tuum timebis, et ei soli servies: ipsi adhaerebis, iurabisque in nomine illius.

Let the fear of the Lord your God be before you, give him worship and be true to him at all times, taking your oaths in his name.

21 Ipse est laus tua, et Deus tuus, qui fecit tibi haec magnalia et terribilia, quae viderunt oculi tui.

He is your God, the God of your praise, your God who has done for you all these works of power which your eyes have seen.

22 In septuaginta animabus descenderunt patres tui in Aegyptum: et ecce nunc multiplicavit te Dominus Deus tuus sicut astra caeli.

Your fathers went down into Egypt with seventy persons; and now the Lord your God has made you like the stars of heaven in number.
