Deuteronomii 30
1 Cum ergo venerint super te omnes sermones isti, benedictio, sive maledictio, quam proposui in conspectu tuo: et ductus poenitudine cordis tui in universis gentibus, in quas disperserit te Dominus Deus tuus,
And it shall come to pass when all these things shall have come upon thee, the blessing and the curse, which I have set before thy face, and thou shalt call [them] to mind among all the nations, wherein the Lord shall have scattered thee,
2 et reversus fueris ad eum, et obedieris eius imperiis, sicut ego hodie praecipio tibi, cum filiis tuis, in toto corde tuo, et in tota anima tua:
and shalt return to the Lord thy God, and shalt hearken to his voice, according to all things which I charge thee this day, with all thy heart, and with all thy soul;
3 reducet te Dominus Deus tuus de captivitate tua, ac miserebitur tui, et rursum congregabit te de cunctis populis, in quos te ante dispersit.
then the Lord shall heal thine iniquities, and shall pity thee, and shall again gather thee out from all the nations, among which the Lord has scattered thee.
4 Si ad cardines caeli fueris dissipatus, inde te retrahet Dominus Deus tuus,
If thy dispersion be from one end of heaven to the other, thence will the Lord thy God gather thee, and thence will the Lord thy God take thee.
5 et assumet, atque introducet in Terram, quam possederunt patres tui, et obtinebis eam: et benedicens tibi, maioris numeri te esse faciat quam fuerint patres tui.
And the Lord thy God shall bring thee in from thence into the land which thy fathers have inherited, and thou shalt inherit it; and he will do thee good, and multiply thee above thy fathers.
6 Circumcidet Dominus Deus tuus cor tuum, et cor seminis tui: ut diligas Dominum Deum tuum in toto corde tuo, et in tota anima tua, ut possis vivere.
And the Lord shall purge thy heart, and the heart of thy seed, to love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, that thou mayest live.
7 Omnes autem maledictiones has convertet super inimicos tuos, et eos, qui oderunt te et persequuntur.
And the Lord thy God will put these curses upon thine enemies, and upon those that hate thee, who have persecuted thee.
8 Tu autem reverteris, et audies vocem Domini Dei tui: faciesque universa mandata quae ego praecipio tibi hodie:
And thou shalt return and hearken to the voice of the Lord thy God, and shall keep his commands, all that I charge thee this day.
9 et abundare te faciet Dominus Deus tuus in cunctis operibus manuum tuarum, in sobole uteri tui, et in fructu iumentorum tuorum, in ubertate terrae tuae, et in rerum omnium largitate. Revertetur enim Dominus, ut gaudeat super te in omnibus bonis, sicut gavisus est in patribus tuis:
And the Lord thy God shall bless thee in every work of thine hands, in the offspring of thy body, and in the offspring of thy cattle, and in the fruits of thy land, because the Lord thy God will again rejoice over thee for good, as he rejoiced over thy fathers:
10 si tamen audieris vocem Domini Dei tui, et custodieris praecepta eius et ceremonias, quae in hac lege conscripta sunt: et revertaris ad Dominum Deum tuum in toto corde tuo, et in tota anima tua.
if thou wilt hearken to the voice of the Lord thy God, to keep his commandments, and his ordinances, and his judgments written in the book of this law, if thou turn to the Lord thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul.
11 Mandatum hoc, quod ego praecipio tibi hodie, non supra te est, neque procul positum,
For this command which I give thee this day is not grievous, neither is it far from thee.
12 nec in caelo situm, ut possis dicere: Quis nostrum valet ad caelum ascendere, ut deferat illud ad nos, et audiamus atque opere compleamus?
It is not in heaven above, [as if there were one] saying, Who shall go up for us into heaven, and shall take it for us, and we will hear and do it?
13 Neque trans mare positum: ut causeris, et dicas: Quis ex nobis poterit transfretare mare, et illud ad nos usque deferre: ut possimus audire, et facere quod praeceptum est?
Neither is it beyond the sea, saying, Who will go over for us to the other side of the sea, and take it for us, and make it audible to us, and we will do it?
14 Sed iuxta te est sermo valde, in ore tuo, et in corde tuo, ut facias illum.
The word is very near thee, in thy mouth, and in thine heart, and in thine hands to do it.
15 Considera quod hodie proposuerim in conspectu tuo vitam et bonum, et econtrario mortem et malum:
Behold, I have set before thee this day life and death, good and evil.
16 ut diligas Dominum Deum tuum, et ambules in viis eius, et custodias mandata illius ac ceremonias atque iudicia: et vivas, atque multiplicet te, benedicatque tibi in Terra, ad quam ingredieris possidendam.
If thou wilt hearken to the commands of the Lord thy God, which I command thee this day, to love the Lord thy God, to walk in all his ways, and to keep his ordinances, and his judgments; then ye shall live, and shall be many in number, and the Lord thy God shall bless thee in all the land into which thou goest to inherit it.
17 Si autem aversum fuerit cor tuum, et audire nolueris, atque errore deceptus adoraveris deos alienos, et servieris eis:
But if thy heart change, and thou wilt not hearken, and thou shalt go astray and worship other gods, and serve them,
18 praedico tibi hodie quod pereas, et parvo tempore moreris in Terra, ad quam, Iordane transmisso, ingredieris possidendam.
I declare to you this day, that ye shall utterly perish, and ye shall by no means live long upon the land, into which ye go over Jordan to inherit it.
19 Testes invoco hodie caelum et terram, quod proposuerim vobis vitam et mortem, benedictionem et maledictionem. Elige ergo vitam, ut et tu vivas, et semen tuum:
I call both heaven and earth to witness this day against you, I have set before you life and death, the blessing and the curse: choose thou life, that thou and thy seed may live;
20 et diligas Dominum Deum tuum, atque obedias voci eius, et illi adhaereas (ipse est enim vita tua, et longitudo dierum tuorum) ut habites in Terra, pro qua iuravit Dominus patribus tuis, Abraham, Isaac, et Iacob, ut daret eam illis.
to love the Lord thy God, to hearken to his voice, and cleave to him; for this [is] thy life, and the length of thy days, that thou shouldest dwell upon the land, which the Lord sware to thy fathers, Abraam, and Isaac, and Jacob, to give to them.
