Deuteronomii 7
1 Cum introduxerit te Dominus Deus tuus in terram, quam possessurus ingredieris, et deleverit Gentes multas coram te, Hethaeum, et Gergezaeum, et Amorrhaeum, Chananaeum, et Pherezaeum, et Hevaeum, et Iebusaeum, septem gentes multo maioris numeri quam tu es, et robustiores te:
When the Lord thy God shall bring thee into the land whither thou goest to possess it, and cast out many nations before thee, the Hittites, and the Girgashites, and the Emorites, and the Canaanites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites, seven nations, greater in number and mightier than thou;
2 tradideritque eas Dominus Deus tuus tibi, percuties eas usque ad internecionem. Non inibis cum eis foedus, nec misereberis earum,
And when the Lord thy God shall give them up before thee, and thou dost smite them: thou shalt utterly destroy them; thou shalt not make any covenant with them, nor show mercy unto them.
3 neque sociabis cum eis coniugia. Filiam tuam non dabis filio eius, nec filiam illius accipies filio tuo:
Neither shalt thou make marriages with them; thy daughters shalt thou not give unto his son, and his daughter shalt thou not take unto thy son.
4 quia seducet filium tuum, ne sequatur me, et ut magis serviat diis alienis. irasceturque furor Domini, et delebit te cito.
For he would turn away thy son from following me, so that they might serve other gods; and the anger of the Lord would be kindled against you, and he would destroy thee speedily.
5 Quin potius haec facietis eis: Aras eorum subvertite, et confringite statuas, lucosque succidite, et sculptilia comburite.
But thus shall ye do unto them: their altars shall ye pull down, and their statues shall ye break, and their groves shall ye cut down, and their graven images shall ye burn with fire.
6 Quia populus sanctus es Domino Deo tuo. Te elegit Dominus Deus tuus, ut sis ei populus peculiaris de cunctis populis, qui sunt super terram.
For thou art a holy people unto the Lord thy God; of thee the Lord thy God hath made choice to be unto himself a special people, above all the nations that are upon the face of the earth.
7 Non quia cunctas gentes numero vincebatis, vobis iunctus est Dominus, et elegit vos, cum omnibus sitis populis pauciores:
Not because ye are more in number than all the nations, did the Lord desire you and make choice of you; for ye are the fewest of all the nations;
8 sed quia dilexit vos Dominus, et custodivit iuramentum, quod iuravit patribus vestris: eduxitque vos in manu forti, et redemit de domo servitutis, de manu Pharaonis regis Aegypti.
But on account of the love of the Lord for you, and because he keepeth the oath which he hath sworn unto your fathers, hath the Lord brought you out with a mighty hand, and redeemed you out of the house of bond-men, out of the hand of Pharaoh the king of Egypt.
9 Et scies quia Dominus Deus tuus, ipse est Deus fortis et fidelis, custodiens pactum et misericordiam diligentibus se, et his qui custodiunt praecepta eius in mille generationes:
Know then that the Eternal thy God, is the God, the faithful God, who keepeth the covenant and the mercy with those that love him and with those that keep his commandments to the thousandth generation;
10 et reddens odientibus se statim, ita ut disperdat eos, et ultra non differat, protinus eis restituens quod merentur.
And repayeth those that hate him to their face, to destroy them; he will not delay to him that hateth him, he will repay him to his face.
11 Custodi ergo praecepta et ceremonias atque iudicia, quae ego mando tibi hodie ut facias.
Therefore shalt thou keep the commandment, and the statutes, and the ordinances, which I command thee this day, to do them.
12 Si postquam audieris haec iudicia, custodieris ea et feceris, custodiet et Dominus Deus tuus pactum tibi, et misericordiam quam iuravit patribus tuis:
And it shall come to pass in reward for that ye will hearken to these ordinances, and keep, and do them, that the Lord thy God will keep unto thee the covenant and the kindness which he hath sworn unto thy fathers:
13 et diliget te ac multiplicabit, benedicetque fructui ventris tui, et fructui terrae tuae, frumento tuo, atque vindemiae, oleo, et armentis, gregibus ovium tuarum super Terram, pro qua iuravit patribus tuis ut daret eam tibi.
And he will love thee, and bless thee, and multiply thee; and he will bless the fruit of thy womb, and the fruit of thy land, thy corn, and thy wine, and thy oil, the increase of thy cattle, and the young of thy flocks, in the land which he hath sworn unto thy fathers to give unto thee.
14 Benedictus eris inter omnes populos. Non erit apud te sterilis utriusque sexus, tam in hominibus quam in gregibus tuis.
Blessed shalt thou be above all the nations; there shall not be a barren male or female among thee, nor among thy cattle.
15 Auferet Dominus a te omnem languorem: et infirmitates Aegypti pessimas, quas novisti, non inferet tibi, sed cunctis hostibus tuis.
And the Lord will take away from thee all sickness; and all the evil diseases of Egypt, which thou knowest, will he not put upon thee; but he will lay them upon all those that hate thee.
16 Devorabis omnes populos, quos Dominus Deus tuus daturus est tibi. Non parcet eis oculus tuus, nec servies diis eorum, ne sint in ruinam tui.
And thou shalt consume all the nations which the Lord thy God giveth unto thee; thy eye shall not look with pity upon them: and thou shalt not serve their gods; for that would be a snare unto thee.
17 Si dixeris in corde tuo: Plures sunt gentes istae quam ego, quo modo potero delere eas?
If thou shouldst say in thy heart, These nations are more numerous than I: how shall I be able to dispossess them?
18 noli metuere, sed recordare quae fecerit Dominus Deus tuus Pharaoni, et cunctis Aegyptiis,
Thou shalt not be afraid of them; [but] thou shalt well remember what the Lord thy God did unto Pharaoh, and unto all Egypt;
19 plagas maximas, quas viderunt oculi tui, et signa atque portenta, manumque robustam, et extentum brachium, ut educeret te Dominus Deus tuus. sic faciet cunctis populis, quos metuis.
The great proofs which thy eyes have seen, and the signs, and the wonders, and the mighty hand, and the outstretched arm, whereby the Lord thy God brought thee out: in this wise will the Lord thy God do unto all the people of whom thou art afraid.
20 Insuper et crabrones mittet Dominus Deus tuus in eos, donec deleat omnes atque disperdat qui te fugerint, et latere potuerint.
Moreover the hornet will the Lord thy God send out against them, until they that are left, and hide themselves from thee, be destroyed.
21 Non timebis eos, quia Dominus Deus tuus in medio tui est, Deus magnus et terribilis:
Thou shalt not be affrighted at them; for the Lord thy God is in the midst of thee, a mighty and terrible God.
22 ipse consumet nationes has in conspectu tuo paulatim atque per partes. Non poteris eas delere pariter: ne forte multiplicentur contra te bestiae terrae.
And the Lord thy God will chase out these nations before thee, little by little: thou shalt not be able to make an end of them speedily, lest the beasts of the field increase upon thee.
23 Dabitque eos Dominus Deus tuus in conspectu tuo: et interficiet illos donec penitus deleantur.
And the Lord thy God will give them up before thee, and he will bring among them a mighty confusion, until they be destroyed.
24 Tradetque reges eorum in manus tuas, et disperdes nomina eorum sub caelo: nullus poterit resistere tibi, donec conteras eos.
And he will give their kings into thy hand, and thou shalt destroy their name from under the heavens: no man shall be able to stand up before thee, until thou have destroyed them.
25 Sculptilia eorum igne combures: non concupisces argentum et aurum, de quibus facta sunt, neque assumes ex eis tibi quidquam, ne offendas, propterea quia abominatio est Domini tui.
The graven images of their gods shall ye burn with fire: thou shalt not covet the silver or gold that is on them, so that thou wouldst take it unto thyself, lest thou be ensnared thereby; for it is an abomination to the Lord thy God.
26 Nec inferes quippiam ex idolo in domum tuam, ne fias anathema, sicut et illud est. Quasi spurcitiam detestaberis, et velut inquinamentum ac sordes abominationi habebis, quia anathema est.
And thou shalt not bring an abomination into thy house, lest thou become accursed like it: thou shalt utterly detest it, and thou shalt utterly abhor it; for it is accursed.
