Deuteronomii 29
1 Haec sunt verba foederis quod praecepit Dominus Moysi ut feriret cum filiis Israel in Terra Moab: praeter illud foedus, quod cum eis pepigit in Horeb.
These are the words of the covenant which the LORD commanded Moses to make with the children of Israel in the land of Moab, in addition to the covenant which he made with them in Horeb.
2 Vocavitque Moyses omnem Israel, et dixit ad eos: Vos vidistis universa, quae fecit Dominus coram vobis in Terra Aegypti Pharaoni, et omnibus servis eius, universaeque terrae illius,
Moses called to all Israel, and said to them: Your eyes have seen all that the LORD did in the land of Egypt to Pharaoh, and to all his servants, and to all his land;
3 tentationes magnas, quas viderunt oculi tui, signa illa, portentaque ingentia,
the great trials which your eyes saw, the signs, and those great wonders.
4 et non dedit vobis Dominus cor intelligens, et oculos videntes, et aures quae possunt audire, usque in praesentem diem.
But the LORD has not given you a heart to know, eyes to see, and ears to hear, to this day.
5 Adduxit vos quadraginta annis per desertum: non sunt attrita vestimenta vestra, nec calceamenta pedum vestrorum vetustate consumpta sunt.
I have led you forty years in the wilderness. Your clothes have not grown old on you, and your sandals have not grown old on your feet.
6 Panem non comedistis, vinum et siceram non bibistis: ut sciretis quia ipsa est Dominus Deus vester.
You have not eaten bread, neither have you drunk wine or strong drink, that you may know that I am the LORD your God.
7 Et venistis ad hunc locum: egressusque est Sehon rex Hesebon, et Og rex Basan, occurrentes nobis ad pugnam. Et percussimus eos,
When you came to this place, Sihon the king of Heshbon and Og the king of Bashan came out against us to battle, and we struck them.
8 et tulimus terram eorum, ac tradidimus possidendam Ruben et Gad, et dimidiae tribui Manasse.
We took their land, and gave it for an inheritance to the Reubenites, and to the Gadites, and to the half-tribe of the Manassites.
9 Custodite ergo verba pacti huius, et implete ea: ut intelligatis universa quae facitis.
Therefore keep the words of this covenant and do them, that you may prosper in all that you do.
10 Vos statis hodie cuncti coram Domino Deo vestro, principes vestri, et tribus, ac maiores natu, atque doctores, omnis populus Israel,
All of you stand today in the presence of the LORD your God: your heads, your tribes, your elders, and your officers, even all the men of Israel,
11 liberi et uxores vestrae, et advenae qui tecum morantur in castris, exceptis lignorum caesoribus, et his, qui comportant aquas:
your little ones, your wives, and the foreigners who are in the middle of your camps, from the one who cuts your wood to the one who draws your water,
12 ut transeas in foedere Domini Dei tui, et in iureiurando quod hodie Dominus Deus tuus percutit tecum:
that you may enter into the covenant of the LORD your God, and into his oath, which the LORD your God makes with you today,
13 ut suscitet te sibi in populum, et ipse sit Deus tuus sicut locutus est tibi, et sicut iuravit patribus tuis, Abraham, Isaac, et Iacob.
that he may establish you today as his people, and that he may be your God, as he spoke to you and as he swore to your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob.
14 Nec vobis solis ego hoc foedus ferio, et haec iuramenta confirmo,
Neither do I make this covenant and this oath with you only,
15 sed cunctis praesentibus et absentibus.
but with those who stand here with us today before the LORD our God, and also with those who are not here with us today
16 Vos enim nostis quo modo habitaverimus in Terra Aegypti, et quo modo transierimus per medium nationum, quas transeuntes
(for you know how we lived in the land of Egypt, and how we came through the middle of the nations through which you passed;
17 vidistis abominationes et sordes, id est, idola eorum, lignum et lapidem, argentum et aurum, quae colebant.
and you have seen their abominations and their idols of wood, stone, silver, and gold, which were among them);
18 Ne forte sit inter vos vir aut mulier, familia aut tribus, cuius cor aversum est hodie a Domino Deo nostro: ut vadat et serviat diis illarum Gentium: et sit inter vos radix germinans fel et amaritudinem.
lest there should be among you man, woman, family, or tribe whose heart turns away today from the LORD our God, to go to serve the gods of those nations; lest there should be among you a root that produces bitter poison;
19 Cumque audierit verba iuramenti huius, benedicat sibi in corde suo, dicens: Pax erit mihi, et ambulabo in pravitate cordis mei: et assumat ebria sitientem,
and it happen, when he hears the words of this curse, that he bless himself in his heart, saying, “I shall have peace, though I walk in the stubbornness of my heart,” to destroy the moist with the dry.
20 et Dominus non ignoscat ei: sed tunc quammaxime furor eius fumet, et zelus contra hominem illum, et sedeant super eum omnia maledicta, quae scripta sunt in hoc volumine: et deleat Dominus nomen eius sub caelo,
The LORD will not pardon him, but then the LORD’s anger and his jealousy will smoke against that man, and all the curse that is written in this book will fall on him, and the LORD will blot out his name from under the sky.
21 et consumat eum in perditionem ex omnibus tribubus Israel, iuxta maledictiones, quae in Libro legis huius ac foederis continentur.
The LORD will set him apart for evil out of all the tribes of Israel, according to all the curses of the covenant written in this book of the law.
22 Dicetque sequens generatio, et filii qui nascentur deinceps, et peregrini, qui de longe venerint, videntes plagas Terrae illius, et infirmitates, quibus eam afflixerit Dominus,
The generation to come—your children who will rise up after you, and the foreigner who will come from a far land—will say, when they see the plagues of that land, and the sicknesses with which the LORD has made it sick,
23 sulphure, et salis ardore comburens, ita ut ultra non seratur, nec virens quippiam germinet, in exemplum subversionis Sodomae et Gomorrhae, Adamae et Seboim, quas subvertit Dominus in ira et furore suo.
that all of its land is sulfur, salt, and burning, that it is not sown, does not produce, nor does any grass grow in it, like the overthrow of Sodom, Gomorrah, Admah, and Zeboiim, which the LORD overthrew in his anger, and in his wrath.
24 Et dicent omnes Gentes: Quare sic fecit Dominus Terrae huic? quae est haec ira furoris eius immensa?
Even all the nations will say, “Why has the LORD done this to this land? What does the heat of this great anger mean?”
25 Et respondebunt: Quia dereliquerunt pactum Domini, quod pepigit cum patribus eorum, quando eduxit eos de Terra Aegypti:
Then men will say, “Because they abandoned the covenant of the LORD, the God of their fathers, which he made with them when he brought them out of the land of Egypt,
26 et servierunt diis alienis, et adoraverunt eos, quos nesciebant, et quibus non fuerant attributi:
and went and served other gods and worshiped them, gods that they did not know and that he had not given to them.
27 idcirco iratus est furor Domini contra Terram istam, ut induceret super eam omnia maledicta, quae in hoc volumine scripta sunt:
Therefore the LORD’s anger burned against this land, to bring on it all the curses that are written in this book.
28 et eiecit eos de terra sua in ira et in furore, et in indignatione maxima, proiecitque in terram alienam, sicut hodie comprobatur.
The LORD rooted them out of their land in anger, in wrath, and in great indignation, and thrust them into another land, as it is today.”
29 Abscondita, Domino Deo nostro: quae manifesta sunt, nobis et filiis nostris usque in sempiternum, ut faciamus universa verba legis huius.
The secret things belong to the LORD our God; but the things that are revealed belong to us and to our children forever, that we may do all the words of this law.
