Deuteronomii 31

1 Abiit itaque Moyses, et locutus est omnia verba haec ad universum Israel,

And Moses finished speaking all these words to all the children of Israel;

2 et dixit ad eos: Centum viginti annorum sum hodie, non possum ultra egredi, et ingredi, praesertim cum et Dominus dixerit mihi: Non transibis Iordanem istum.

and said to them, I am this day a hundred and twenty years [old]; I shall not be able any longer to come in or go out; and the Lord said to me, You shall not go over this Jordan.

3 Dominus ergo Deus tuus transibit ante te: ipse delebit omnes gentes has in conspectu tuo, et possidebis eas: et Iosue iste transibit ante te, sicut locutus est Dominus.

The Lord your God who goes before you, he shall destroy these nations before you, and you shall inherit them: and [it shall be] Joshua that goes before your face, as the Lord has spoken.

4 Facietque Dominus eis sicut fecit Sehon et Og regibus Amorrhaeorum, et terrae eorum, delebitque eos.

And the Lord your God shall do to them as he did to Seon and Og the two kings of the Amorites, who were beyond Jordan, and to their land, as he destroyed them.

5 Cum ergo et hos tradiderit vobis, similiter facietis eis sicut praecepi vobis.

And the Lord has delivered them to you; and you shall do to them, as I charged you.

6 Viriliter agite, et confortamini: nolite timere, nec paveatis conspectum eorum: quia Dominus Deus tuus ipse est ductor tuus, et non dimittet, nec derelinquet te.

Be courageous and strong, fear not, neither be cowardly neither be afraid before them; for [it is] the Lord your God that advances with you in the midst of you, neither will he by any means forsake you, nor desert you.

7 Vocavitque Moyses Iosue, et dixit ei coram omni Israel: Confortare, et esto robustus: tu enim introduces populum istum in Terram, quam daturum se patribus eorum iuravit Dominus, et tu eam sorte divides.

And Moses called Joshua, and said to him before all Israel, Be courageous and strong; for you shall go in before this people into the land which the Lord sware to your fathers to give to them, and you shall give it to them for an inheritance.

8 Et Dominus qui ductor est vester, ipse erit tecum: non dimittet, nec derelinquet te: noli timere, nec paveas.

And the Lord that goes with you shall not forsake you nor abandon you; fear not, neither be afraid.

9 Scripsit itaque Moyses legem hanc, et tradidit eam sacerdotibus filiis Levi, qui portabant arcam foederis Domini, et cunctis senioribus Israel.

And Moses wrote the words of this law in a book, and gave it to the priests the sons of Levi who bear the ark of the covenant of the Lord, and to the elders of the sons of Israel.

10 Praecepitque eis, dicens: Post septem annos, anno remissionis, in sollemnitate tabernaculorum,

And Moses charged them in that day, saying, After seven years, in the time of the year of release, in the feast of tabernacles,

11 convenientibus cunctis ex Israel, ut appareant in conspectu Domini Dei tui in loco, quem elegerit Dominus, leges verba legis huius coram omni Israel, audientibus eis,

when all Israel come together to appear before the Lord your God, in the place which the Lord shall choose, you shall read this law before all Israel in their ears,

12 et in unum omni populo congregato, tam viris quam mulieribus, parvulis, et advenis, qui sunt intra portas tuas: ut audientes discant, et timeant Dominum Deum vestrum, et custodiant, impleantque omnes sermones legis huius.

having assembled the people, the men, and the women, and the children, and the stranger that is in your cities, that they may hear, and that they may learn to fear the Lord your God; and they shall listen to do all the words of this law.

13 filii quoque eorum qui nunc ignorant; ut audire possint, et timeant Dominum Deum suum cunctis diebus quibus versantur in Terra, ad quam vos, Iordane transmisso, pergitis obtinendam.

And their sons who have not known shall hear, and shall learn to fear the Lord your God all the days that they live upon the land, into which you go over Jordan to inherit it.

14 Et ait Dominus ad Moysen: Ecce prope sunt dies mortis tuae: voca Iosue, et state in tabernaculo testimonii, ut praecipiam ei. Abierunt ergo Moyses et Iosue, et steterunt in tabernaculo testimonii:

And the Lord said to Moses, Behold, the days of your death are at hand; call Joshua, and stand you by the doors of the tabernacle of testimony, and I will give him a charge. And Moses and Joshua went to the tabernacle of testimony, and stood by the doors of the tabernacle of testimony.

15 apparuitque Dominus ibi in columna nubis, quae stetit in introitu tabernaculi.

And the Lord descended in a cloud, and stood by the doors of the tabernacle of testimony; and the pillar of the cloud stood by the doors of the tabernacle of testimony.

16 Dixitque Dominus ad Moysen: Ecce tu dormies cum patribus tuis, et populus iste consurgens fornicabitur post deos alienos in Terra, ad quam ingreditur ut habitet in ea: ibi derelinquet me, et irritum faciet foedus, quod pepigi cum eo.

And the Lord said to Moses, Behold, you shall sleep with your fathers, and this people will arise and go a whoring after the strange gods of the land, into which they are entering: and they will forsake me, and break my covenant, which I made with them.

17 Et irascetur furor meus contra eum in die illo: et derelinquam eum, et abscondam faciem meam ab eo, et erit in devorationem: invenient eum omnia mala et afflictiones, ita ut dicat in illo die: Vere quia non est Deus mecum, invenerunt me haec mala.

And I will be very angry with them in that day, and I will leave them and turn my face away from them, and they shall be devoured; and many evils and afflictions shall come upon them; and they shall say in that day, Because the Lord my God is not with me, these evils have come upon me.

18 Ego autem abscondam, et celabo faciem meam in die illo propter omnia mala, quae fecit, quia secutus est deos alienos.

And I will surely turn away my face from them in that day, because of all their evil doings which they have done, because they turned aside after strange gods.

19 Nunc itaque scribite vobis canticum istud, et docete filios Israel: ut memoriter teneant, et ore decantent, et sit mihi carmen istud pro testimonio inter filios Israel.

And now write the words of this song, and teach it to the children of Israel, and you shall put it into their mouth, that this song may witness for me among the children of Israel to their face.

20 Introducam enim eum in Terram, pro qua iuravi patribus eius, lacte et melle manantem. Cumque comederint, et saturati, crassique fuerint, avertentur ad deos alienos, et servient eis: detrahentque mihi, et irritum facient pactum meum.

For I will bring them into the good land, which I sware to their fathers, to give to them a land flowing with milk and honey: and they shall eat and be filled and satisfy [themselves]; then will they turn aside after other gods, and serve them, and they will provoke me, and break my covenant.

21 Postquam invenerint eum mala multa et afflictiones, respondebit ei canticum istud pro testimonio, quod nulla delebit oblivio ex ore seminis sui. Scio enim cogitationes eius, quae facturus sit hodie, antequam introducam eum in Terram, quam ei pollicitus sum.

And this song shall stand up to witness against them; for they shall not forget it out of their mouth, or out of the mouth of their seed; for I know their wickedness, what they are doing here this day, before I have brought them into the good land, which I sware to their fathers.

22 Scripsit ergo Moyses canticum, et docuit filios Israel.

And Moses wrote this song in that day, and taught it to the children of Israel.

23 Praecepitque Dominus Iosue filio Nun, et ait: Confortare, et esto robustus: tu enim introduces filios Israel in Terram, quam pollicitus sum, et ego ero tecum.

And he charged Joshua, and said, Be courageous and strong, for you shall bring the sons of Israel into the land, which the Lord sware to them, and he shall be with you.

24 Postquam ergo scripsit Moyses verba legis huius in volumine, atque complevit:

And when Moses finished writing all the words of this law in a book, even to the end,

25 praecepit Levitis, qui portabant arcam foederis Domini, dicens:

then he charged the Levites who bear the ark of the covenant of the Lord, saying,

26 Tollite librum istum, et ponite eum in latere arcae foederis Domini Dei vestri: ut sit ibi contra te in testimonium.

Take the book of this law, and you shall put it in the side of the ark of the covenant of the Lord your God; and it shall be there among you for a testimony.

27 Ego enim scio contentionem tuam, et cervicem tuam durissimam. Adhuc vivente me et ingrediente vobiscum, semper contentiose egistis contra Dominum: quanto magis cum mortuus fuero?

For I know your provocation, and your stiff neck; for yet during my life with you at this day, you have been provoking in your conduct toward God: how shall you not also be so after my death?

28 Congregate ad me omnes maiores natu per tribus vestras, atque doctores, et loquar audientibus eis sermones istos, et invocabo contra eos caelum et terram.

Gather together to me the heads of your tribes, and your elders, and your judges, and your officers, that I may speak in their ears all these words; and I call both heaven and earth to witness against them.

29 Novi enim quod post mortem meam inique agetis, et declinabitis cito de via, quam praecepi vobis: et occurrent vobis mala in extremo tempore, quando feceritis malum in conspectu Domini, ut irritetis eum per opera manuum vestrarum.

For I know that after my death you will utterly transgress, and turn aside out of the way which I have commanded you; and evils shall come upon you in the latter days, because you will do evil before the Lord, to provoke him to anger by the works of your hands. And Moses spoke all the words of this song even to the end, in the ears of the whole assembly.

30 Locutus est ergo Moyses, audiente universo coetu Israel, verba carminis huius, et ad finem usque complevit.
