Deuteronomii 1
1 Haec sunt verba, quae locutus est Moyses ad omnem Israel trans Iordanem in solitudine campestri, contra Mare rubrum, inter Pharan et Thophel et Laban et Haseroth, ubi auri est plurimum:
These are the words which Moses spoke unto all Israel on this side of the Jordan, in the wilderness, in the plain opposite Suph, between Paran, and Tophel, and Laban, and Chazeroth, and Di-zahab.
2 undecim diebus de Horeb per viam montis Seir usque ad Cadesbarne.
It is a journey of eleven days from Horeb by the way of mount Seir unto Kadesh-barnea'.
3 Quadragesimo anno, undecimo mense, prima die mensis locutus est Moyses ad filios Israel omnia quae praeceperat illi Dominus ut diceret eis:
And it came to pass in the fortieth year, in the eleventh month, on the first day of the month, that Moses spoke unto the children of Israel, according to all that the Lord had commanded him concerning them;
4 postquam percussit Sehon regem Amorrhaeorum, qui habitavit in Hesebon: et Og regem Basan, qui mansit in Astaroth, et in Edrai,
After he had smitten Sichon the king of the Emorites, who dwelt in Cheshbon, and 'Og the king of Bashan, who dwelt at 'Ashtaroth in Edre'i.
5 trans Iordanem in Terra Moab. Coepitque Moyses explanare legem, et dicere:
On this side of the Jordan, in the land of Moab, began Moses to explain this law, saying,
6 Dominus Deus noster locutus est ad nos in Horeb, dicens: Sufficit vobis quod in hoc monte mansistis:
The Lord our God spoke unto us in Horeb, saying, Ye have tarried long enough at this mount;
7 revertimini, et venite ad montem Amorrhaeorum, et ad cetera quae ei proxima sunt campestria atque montana et humiliora loca contra Meridiem, et iuxta littus maris, Terram Chananaeorum, et Libani usque ad flumen magnum Euphraten.
Turn you, and take your journey, and go to the mountain of the Emorites, and unto all its neighboring places, in the plain, in the mountain, and in the lowlands, and in the southern country, and by the coast of the sea, to the land of the Canaanites, and unto the Lebanon, up to the great river, the river Euphrates.
8 En, inquit, tradidi vobis: ingredimini et possidete eam, super qua iuravit Dominus patribus vestris Abraham, Isaac, et Iacob, ut daret illam eis, et semini eorum post eos.
Behold, I have given up the land before you: go in and take possession of the land which the Lord hath sworn unto your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give it unto them and to their seed after them.
9 Dixique vobis illo in tempore:
And I said unto you at that time, as followeth, I am not able alone to bear you:
10 Non possum solus sustinere vos: quia Dominus Deus vester multiplicavit vos, et estis hodie sicut stellae caeli, plurimi.
The Lord your God hath multiplied you, and, behold, ye are this day as the stars of heaven for multitude.
11 (Dominus Deus patrum vestrorum addat ad hunc numerum multa millia, et benedicat vobis sicut locutus est.)
May the Lord the God of your fathers make you a thousand times as many more as ye are; and bless you, as he hath spoken unto you.
12 Non valeo solus negotia vestra sustinere, et pondus ac iurgia.
How can I by myself alone bear your cumbrance, and your burden, and your strife!
13 Date ex vobis viros sapientes et gnaros, et quorum conversatio sit probata in tribubus vestris, ut ponam eos vobis principes.
Furnish for yourselves wise and understanding men, and those known among your tribes, and I will place them as chiefs over you.
14 Tunc respondistis mihi: Bona res est, quam vis facere.
And ye answered me, and said, The thing which thou hast spoken is good to do.
15 Tulique de tribubus vestris viros sapientes et nobiles, et constitui eos principes, tribunos, et centuriones, et quinquagenarios ac decanos, qui docerent vos singula.
And I took the chiefs of your tribes, wise and known men, and I set them as heads over you, captains over thousands, and captains over hundreds, and captains over fifties, and captains over tens, and as officers for your tribes.
16 Praecepique eis, dicens: Audite illos, et quod iustum est iudicate: sive civis sit ille, sive peregrinus.
And I commanded your judges at that time, saying, Hear the causes between your brethren, and judge righteously, between a man and his brother, and between his stranger.
17 Nulla erit distantia personarum, ita parvum audietis ut magnum: nec accipietis cuiusquam personam, quia Dei iudicium est. Quod si difficile vobis visum aliquid fuerit, referte ad me, et ego audiam.
Ye shall not respect persons in judgment; the small as well as the great shall ye hear; ye shall not be afraid of any man; for the judgment belongeth to God: and the cause that is too hard for you shall ye bring unto me, and I will hear it.
18 Praecepique omnia quae facere deberetis.
And I commanded you at that time all the things which ye should do.
19 Profecti autem de Horeb, transivimus per eremum terribilem et maximam solitudinem, quam vidistis, per viam montis Amorrhaei, sicut praeceperat Dominus Deus noster nobis. Cumque venissemus in Cadesbarne,
And we departed from Horeb, and we went through all that great and terrible wilderness, which ye have seen, by the way of the mountain of the Emorites, as the Lord our God had commanded us; and we came as far as Kadesh-barnea'.
20 dixi vobis: Venistis ad montem Amorrhaei, quem Dominus Deus noster daturus est nobis.
And I said unto you, Ye are come unto the mountain of the Emorites, which the Lord our God doth give unto us.
21 Vide Terram, quam Dominus Deus tuus dat tibi: ascende et posside eam, sicut locutus est Dominus Deus noster patribus tuis: noli timere, nec quidquam paveas.
Behold, the Lord thy God hath given up the land before thee: go up and take possession of it, as the Lord the God of thy fathers hath spoken unto thee; do not fear, and be not discouraged.
22 Et accessistis ad me omnes, atque dixistis: Mittamus viros qui considerent Terram: et renuncient per quod iter debeamus ascendere, et ad quas pergere civitates.
And ye all came near unto me and said, Let us send out men before us, that they may search out for us the land, and bring us word again concerning the way by which we must go up, and the cities to which we shall come.
23 Cumque mihi sermo placuisset, misi ex vobis duodecim viros, singulos de tribubus suis.
And the thing was pleasing in my eyes; and I took of you twelve men, one man for every tribe:
24 Qui cum perrexissent, et ascendissent in montana, venerunt usque ad Vallem botri: et considerata terra,
And they turned and went up into the mountain, and came unto the valley of Eshcol, and spied it out.
25 sumentes de fructibus eius, ut ostenderent ubertatem, attulerunt ad nos, atque dixerunt: Bona est terra, quam Dominus Deus noster daturus est nobis.
And they took in their hand some of the fruit of the land, and brought it down unto us; and they brought us word again, and said, The land which the Lord our God doth give us is good.
26 Et noluistis ascendere, sed increduli ad sermonem Domini Dei nostri
But you would not go up, and ye rebelled against the order of the Lord your God;
27 murmurastis in tabernaculis vestris, atque dixistis: Odit nos Dominus, et idcirco eduxit nos de Terra Aegypti, ut traderet nos in manu Amorrhaei, atque deleret.
And ye murmured in your tents, and said, On account of the hatred of the Lord toward us, hath he brought us forth out of the land of Egypt, to deliver us into the hand of the Emorites, to destroy us.
28 Quo ascendemus? nuncii terruerunt cor nostrum, dicentes: Maxima multitudo est, et nobis statura procerior: urbes magnae, et ad caelum usque munitae: filios Enacim vidimus ibi.
Whither shall we go up? our brethren have made faint our heart, saying, The people is greater and taller than we; the cities are great and fortified up to heaven; and moreover the sons of the 'Anakim have we seen there.
29 Et dixi vobis: Nolite metuere, nec timeatis eos:
And I said unto you, Have no dread, nor be ye afraid of them.
30 Dominus Deus, qui ductor est vester, pro vobis ipse pugnabit, sicut fecit in Aegypto cunctis videntibus.
The Lord your God who goeth before you, he it is who will fight for you; all just as he did for you in Egypt before your eyes;
31 Et in solitudine (ipsi vidistis) portavit te Dominus Deus tuus, ut solet homo gestare parvulum filium suum, in omni via, per quam ambulastis, donec veniretis ad locum istum.
And in the wilderness which thou hast seen, where the Lord thy God bore thee, as a man doth bear his son, on all the way that ye have gone, until ye came unto this place.
32 Et nec sic quidem credidistis Domino Deo vestro,
Yet in this thing do ye not believe in the Lord your God,
33 qui praecessit vos in via, et metatus est locum, in quo tentoria figere deberetis, nocte ostendens vobis iter per ignem, et die per columnam nubis.
Who goeth before you on the way to seek out for you a place for your encamping, in fire by night, to cause you to see on the way in which ye are to go, and in a cloud by day.
34 Cumque audisset Dominus vocem sermonum vestrorum, iratus iuravit et ait:
And the Lord heard the voice of your words; and he was wroth, and swore, saying,
35 Non videbit quispiam de hominibus generationis huius pessimae Terram bonam, quam sub iuramento pollicitus sum patribus vestris:
Surely there shall not one of these men of this evil generation see that good land, which I have sworn to give unto your fathers;
36 praeter Caleb filium Iephone. ipse enim videbit eam, et ipsi dabo Terram, quam calcavit, et filiis eius, quia secutus est Dominum.
Save Caleb the son of Yephunneh, he shall see it, and to him will I give the land upon which he hath trodden, and to his children; because he hath wholly followed the Lord.
37 Nec miranda indignatio in populum, cum mihi quoque iratus Dominus propter vos dixerit: Nec tu ingredieris illuc:
also with me was the Lord angry for your sakes, saying, also thou shalt not go in thither.
38 sed Iosue filius Nun minister tuus, ipse intrabit pro te. hunc exhortare et robora, et ipse sorte Terram dividet Israeli.
Joshua the son of Nun, who standeth before thee, he shall go in thither: him encourage; for he shall cause Israel to inherit it.
39 Parvuli vestri, de quibus dixistis quod captivi ducerentur, et filii qui hodie boni ac mali ignorant distantiam, ipsi ingredientur: et ipsis dabo Terram, et possidebunt eam.
And your little ones, of whom ye said, They will become a prey, and your children who know not this day either good or evil, these shall go in thither; and unto them will I give it, and they shall possess it.
40 Vos autem revertimini et abite in solitudinem per viam Maris rubri.
But as for you, turn you, and take your journey into the wilderness by the way of the Red Sea.
41 Et respondistis mihi: Peccavimus Domino: ascendemus et pugnabimus, sicut praecepit Dominus Deus noster. Cumque instructi armis pergeretis in montem,
And ye answered and said unto me, We have sinned against the Lord; we indeed will go up and we will fight, according to all that the Lord our God hath commanded us; and ye girded on every man his weapons of war, and ye insisted to go up into the mountain.
42 ait mihi Dominus: Dic ad eos: Nolite ascendere, neque pugnetis, non enim sum vobiscum: ne cadatis coram inimicis vestris.
And the Lord said unto me, Say unto them, Go not up, and do not fight; for I am not among you; lest ye be smitten before your enemies.
43 Locutus sum, et non audistis: sed adversantes imperio Domini, et tumentes superbia ascendistis in montem.
And I spoke unto you; but ye would not hear; and ye rebelled against the order of the Lord, and you were presumptuous, and went up into the mountain.
44 Itaque egressus Amorrhaeus, qui habitabat in montibus, et obviam veniens persecutus est vos, sicut solent apes persequi: et cecidit de Seir usque Horma.
And the Emorites, who dwelt in that mountain: came out against you, and they pursued you, as the bees do, and they overthrew you in Seir, as far as Chormah.
45 Cumque reversi ploraretis coram Domino, non audivit vos, nec voci vestrae voluit acquiescere.
And ye returned and wept before the Lord; but the Lord hearkened not to your voice, nor gave ear unto you.
46 Sedistis ergo in Cadesbarne multo tempore.
And ye tarried in Kadesh many days, according unto the days that ye tarried there.
