Deuteronomii 9
1 Audi Israel: Tu transgredieris hodie Iordanem, ut possideas nationes maximas et fortiores te, civitates ingentes, et ad caelum usque muratas,
'Hear, Israel, thou art passing over to-day the Jordan, to go in to possess nations greater and mightier than thyself; cities great and fenced in the heavens;
2 populum magnum atque sublimem, filios Enacim, quos ipse vidisti, et audisti, quibus nullus potest ex adverso resistere.
a people great and tall, sons of Anakim, whom thou — thou hast known, (and thou — thou hast heard: Who doth station himself before sons of Anak?)
3 Scies ergo hodie quod Dominus Deus tuus ipse transibit ante te, ignis devorans atque consumens, qui conterat eos et deleat atque disperdat ante faciem tuam velociter, sicut locutus est tibi.
and thou hast known to-day, that Jehovah thy God [is] He who is passing over before thee — a fire consuming; He doth destroy them, and He doth humble them before thee, and thou hast dispossessed them, and destroyed them hastily, as Jehovah hath spoken to thee.
4 Ne dicas in corde tuo, cum deleverit eos Dominus Deus tuus in conspectu tuo: Propter iustitiam meam introduxit me Dominus ut terram hanc possiderem, cum propter impietates suas istae deletae sint nationes.
'Thou dost not speak in thy heart (in Jehovah thy God's driving them away from before thee), saying, For my righteousness hath Jehovah brought me in to possess this land, seeing for the wickedness of these nations is Jehovah dispossessing them from thy presence;
5 Neque enim propter iustitias tuas, et aequitatem cordis tui ingredieris ut possideas terras earum: sed quia illae egerunt impie, introeunte te deletae sunt: et ut compleret verbum suum Dominus, quod sub iuramento pollicitus est patribus tuis Abraham, Isaac, et Iacob.
not for thy righteousness, and for the uprightness of thy heart, art thou going in to possess their land; but for the wickedness of these nations is Jehovah thy God dispossessing them from before thee; and in order to establish the word which Jehovah hath sworn to thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob;
6 scito ergo quod non propter iustitias tuas Dominus Deus tuus dederit tibi terram hanc optimam in possessionem, cum durissimae cervicis sis populus.
and thou hast known, that not for thy righteousness is Jehovah thy God giving to thee this good land to possess it, for a people stiff of neck thou [art].
7 Memento, et ne obliviscaris quomodo ad iracundiam provocaveris Dominum Deum tuum in solitudine. Ex eo die, quo egressus es ex Aegypto usque ad locum istum, semper adversum Dominum contendisti.
'Remember — do not forget — that [with] which thou hast made Jehovah thy God wroth in the wilderness; even from the day that thou hast come out of the land of Egypt till your coming in unto this place rebels ye have been with Jehovah;
8 Nam et in Horeb provocasti eum, et iratus delere te voluit,
even in Horeb ye have made Jehovah wroth, and Jehovah sheweth Himself angry against you — to destroy you.
9 quando ascendi in montem, ut acciperem tabulas lapideas, pacti quod pepigit vobiscum Deus: et perseveravi in monte quadraginta diebus ac noctibus, panem non comedens, et aquam non bibens.
'In my going up into the mount to receive the tables of stone (tables of the covenant which Jehovah hath made with you), and I abide in the mount forty days and forty nights; bread I have not eaten, and water I have not drunk;
10 Deditque mihi Dominus duas tabulas lapideas scriptas digito Dei, et continentes omnia verba quae vobis locutus est in monte de medio ignis, quando concio populi congregata est.
and Jehovah giveth unto me the two tables of stone written with the finger of God, and on them according to all the words which Jehovah hath spoken with you in the mount, out of the midst of the fire, in the day of the assembly.
11 Cumque transissent quadraginta dies, et totidem noctes, dedit mihi Dominus duas tabulas lapideas, tabulas foederis,
'And it cometh to pass, at the end of forty days and forty nights, Jehovah hath given unto me the two tables of stone — tables of the covenant,
12 dixitque mihi: Surge, et descende hinc cito: quia populus tuus, quem eduxisti de Aegypto, deseruerunt velociter viam, quam demonstrasti eis, feceruntque sibi conflatile.
and Jehovah saith unto me, Rise, go down, hasten from this, for thy people hath done corruptly, whom thou hast brought out of Egypt; they have turned aside hastily out of the way which I have commanded them — they have made to themselves a molten thing!
13 Rursumque ait Dominus ad me: Cerno quod populus iste durae cervicis sit:
'And Jehovah speaketh unto me, saying, I have seen this people, and lo, a people stiff of neck it [is];
14 dimitte me ut conteram eum, et deleam nomen eius de sub caelo, et constituam te super Gentem, quae hac maior et fortior sit.
desist from Me, and I destroy them, and blot out their name from under the heavens, and I make thee become a nation more mighty and numerous than it.
15 Cumque de monte ardente descenderem, et duas tabulas foederis utraque tenerem manu,
'And I turn, and come down from the mount, and the mount is burning with fire, and the two tables of the covenant on my two hands,
16 vidissemque vos peccasse Domino Deo vestro, et fecisse vobis vitulum conflatilem, ac deseruisse velociter viam eius, quam vobis ostenderat:
and I see, and lo, ye have sinned against Jehovah your God; ye have made to yourselves a molten calf; ye have turned aside hastily out of the way which Jehovah hath commanded you.
17 proieci tabulas de manibus meis, confregique eas in conspectu vestro.
'And I lay hold on the two tables, and cast them out of my two hands, and break them before your eyes,
18 Et procidi ante Dominum sicut prius, quadraginta diebus et noctibus panem non comedens, et aquam non bibens propter omnia peccata vestra quae gessistis contra Dominum, et eum ad iracundiam provocastis:
and I throw myself before Jehovah, as at first, forty days and forty nights; bread I have not eaten, and water I have not drunk, because of all your sins which ye have sinned, by doing the evil thing in the eyes of Jehovah, to make Him angry.
19 timui enim indignationem et iram illius, qua adversum vos concitatus, delere vos voluit. Et exaudivit me Dominus etiam hac vice.
'For I have been afraid because of the anger and the fury with which Jehovah hath been wroth against you, to destroy you; and Jehovah doth hearken unto me also at this time.
20 Adversum Aaron quoque vehementer iratus, voluit eum conterere, et pro illo similiter deprecatus sum.
'And with Aaron hath Jehovah shewed himself very angry, to destroy him, and I pray also for Aaron at that time;
21 Peccatum autem vestrum quod feceratis, id est vitulum, arripiens, igne combussi, et in frusta comminuens, omninoque in pulverem redigens, proieci in torrentem, qui de monte descendit.
and your sin, which ye have made — the calf — I have taken, and I burn it with fire, and beat it, grinding well till that it [is] small as dust, and I cast its dust unto the brook which is going down out of the mount.
22 In incendio quoque et in tentatione, et in Sepulchris concupiscentiae provocastis Dominum:
'And in Taberah, and in Massah, and in Kibroth-Hattaavah, ye have been making Jehovah wroth:
23 et quando misit vos de Cadesbarne, dicens: Ascendite, et possidete Terram, quam dedi vobis, et contempsistis imperium Domini Dei vestri, et non credidistis ei, neque vocem eius audire voluistis:
and in Jehovah's sending you from Kadesh-Barnea, saying, Go up, and possess the land which I have given to you, then ye provoke the mouth of Jehovah your God, and have not given credence to Him, nor hearkened to His voice;
24 sed semper fuistis rebelles a die qua nosse vos coepi.
rebels ye have been with Jehovah from the day of my knowing you.
25 Et iacui coram Domino quadraginta diebus ac noctibus, quibus eum suppliciter deprecabar, ne deleret vos ut fuerat comminatus:
'And I throw myself before Jehovah, the forty days and the forty nights, as I had thrown myself, for Jehovah hath said — to destroy you;
26 et orans dixi: Domine Deus, ne disperdas populum tuum, et hereditatem tuam, quam redemisti in magnitudine tua, quos eduxisti de Aegypto in manu forti.
and I pray unto Jehovah, and say, Lord Jehovah, destroy not Thy people, and Thine inheritance, whom Thou hast ransomed in Thy greatness; whom Thou hast brought out of Egypt with a strong hand;
27 Recordare servorum tuorum Abraham, Isaac, et Iacob: ne aspicias duritiam populi huius, et impietatem atque peccatum:
be mindful of Thy servants, of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Jacob, turn not unto the stiffness of this people, and unto its wickedness, and unto its sin;
28 ne forte dicant habitatores terrae, de qua eduxisti nos: Non poterat Dominus introducere eos in Terram, quam pollicitus est eis, et oderat illos: idcirco eduxit, ut interficeret eos in solitudine.
lest the land say from which Thou hast brought us out, Because of Jehovah's want of ability to bring them in unto the land of which He hath spoken to them, and because of His hating them, He brought them out to put them to death in the wilderness;
29 qui sunt populus tuus et hereditas tua, quos eduxisti in fortitudine tua magna, et in brachio tuo extento.
and they [are] Thy people, and Thine inheritance, whom Thou hast brought out by Thy great power, and by Thy stretched-out arm!
