< 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, “Cut two stone tablets like the first, and come up to me onto 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.
I will write on the tablets the words that were on the first tablets which you broke, and you shall put them in 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 acacia wood, and cut two stone tablets like the first, and went up onto the mountain, having the two tablets in my hand.
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.
He wrote on the tablets, according to the first writing, the ten commandments, which the LORD spoke to you on the mountain out of the middle of the fire in the day of the assembly; and the LORD gave them to me.
5 Reversusque de monte, descendi, et posui tabulas in arcam, quam feceram, quae hucusque ibi sunt, sicut mihi praecepit Dominus.
I turned and came down from the mountain, and put the tablets in the ark which I had made; and there they are as the LORD commanded me.
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.
(The children of Israel travelled from Beeroth Bene Jaakan to Moserah. There Aaron died, and there he was buried; and Eleazar his son ministered in the priest’s office in his place.
7 Inde venerunt in Gadgad: de quo loco profecti, castrametati sunt in Ietebatha, in Terra aquarum atque torrentium.
From there they travelled to Gudgodah; and from Gudgodah to Jotbathah, a land of brooks 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 set apart the tribe of Levi to bear the ark of the LORD’s covenant, to stand before the LORD to minister to him, and to bless 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.
Therefore Levi has no portion nor inheritance with his brothers; the LORD is his inheritance, according as the LORD your God spoke to him.)
10 Ego autem steti in monte, sicut prius, quadraginta diebus ac noctibus: exaudivitque me Dominus etiam hac vice, et te perdere noluit.
I stayed on the mountain, as at the first time, forty days and forty nights; and the LORD listened to me that time also. The LORD would not destroy you.
11 Dixitque mihi: Vade, et praecede populum, ut ingrediatur, et possideat Terram, quam iuravi patribus eorum ut traderem eis.
The LORD said to me, “Arise, take your journey before the people; and they shall go in and possess the land which I swore to their fathers to give to 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:
Now, Israel, what does the LORD your God require of you, but to fear the LORD your God, to walk in all his ways, to love him, and to serve the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul,
13 custodiasque mandata Domini, et ceremonias eius, quas ego hodie praecipio tibi, ut bene sit tibi?
to keep the LORD’s commandments and statutes, which I command you today for your good?
14 En Domini Dei tui caelum est, et caelum caeli, terra et omnia, quae in ea sunt:
Behold, to the LORD your God belongs heaven, the heaven of heavens, and the earth, with all that is therein.
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.
Only the LORD had a delight in your fathers to love them, and he chose their offspring after them, even you above all peoples, as it is today.
16 Circumcidite igitur praeputium cordis vestri, et cervicem vestram ne induretis amplius:
Circumcise therefore the foreskin of your heart, and be no more stiff-necked.
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, he is God of gods and Lord of lords, the great God, the mighty, and the awesome, who doesn’t respect persons or take bribes.
18 Facit iudicium pupillo et viduae, amat peregrinum, et dat ei victum atque vestitum.
He executes justice for the fatherless and widow and loves the foreigner in giving him food and clothing.
19 et vos ergo amate peregrinos, quia et ipsi fuistis advenae in Terra Aegypti.
Therefore love the foreigner, for you were foreigners in the land of Egypt.
20 Dominum Deum tuum timebis, et ei soli servies: ipsi adhaerebis, iurabisque in nomine illius.
You shall fear the LORD your God. You shall serve him. You shall cling to him, and you shall swear by his name.
21 Ipse est laus tua, et Deus tuus, qui fecit tibi haec magnalia et terribilia, quae viderunt oculi tui.
He is your praise, and he is your God, who has done for you these great and awesome things 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 as the stars of the sky for multitude.
