Leviticus 26

1 Ego Dominus Deus vester: Non facietis vobis idolum et sculptile, nec titulos erigetis, nec insignem lapidem ponetis in terra vestra, ut adoretis eum. ego enim sum Dominus Deus vester.

Ye shall make you no idols nor graven image, neither rear you up a standing image, neither shall ye set up [any] image of stone in your land, to bow down unto it: for I [am] the LORD your God.

2 Custodite sabbata mea, et pavete ad Sanctuarium meum. ego Dominus.

Ye shall keep my sabbaths, and reverence my sanctuary: I [am] the LORD.

3 Si in praeceptis meis ambulaveritis, et mandata mea custodieritis, et feceritis ea, dabo vobis pluvias temporibus suis,

If ye walk in my statutes, and keep my commandments, and do them;

4 et terra gignet germen suum, et pomis arbores replebuntur.

Then I will give you rain in due season, and the land shall yield her increase, and the trees of the field shall yield their fruit.

5 Apprehendet messium tritura vindemiam, et vindemia occupabit sementem: et comedetis panem vestrum in saturitate, et absque pavore habitabitis in terra vestra.

And your threshing shall reach unto the vintage, and the vintage shall reach unto the sowing time: and ye shall eat your bread to the full, and dwell in your land safely.

6 Dabo pacem in finibus vestris: dormietis, et non erit qui exterreat. Auferam malas bestias: et gladius non transibit terminos vestros.

And I will give peace in the land, and ye shall lie down, and none shall make [you] afraid: and I will rid evil beasts out of the land, neither shall the sword go through your land.

7 Persequemini inimicos vestros, et corruent coram vobis.

And ye shall chase your enemies, and they shall fall before you by the sword.

8 persequentur quinque de vestris centum alienos, et centum de vobis decem millia: cadent inimici vestri gladio in conspectu vestro.

And five of you shall chase an hundred, and an hundred of you shall put ten thousand to flight: and your enemies shall fall before you by the sword.

9 Respiciam vos, et crescere faciam: multiplicabimini, et firmabo pactum meum vobiscum.

For I will have respect unto you, and make you fruitful, and multiply you, and establish my covenant with you.

10 Comedetis vetustissima veterum, et vetera novis supervenientibus proiicietis.

And ye shall eat old store, and bring forth the old because of the new.

11 Ponam tabernaculum meum in medio vestri, et non abiiciet vos anima mea.

And I will set my tabernacle among you: and my soul shall not abhor you.

12 Ambulabo inter vos, et ero Deus vester, vosque eritis populus meus.

And I will walk among you, and will be your God, and ye shall be my people.

13 Ego Dominus Deus vester: qui eduxi vos de Terra Aegyptiorum, ne serviretis eis, et qui confregi catenas cervicum vestrarum, ut incederetis erecti.

I [am] the LORD your God, which brought you forth out of the land of Egypt, that ye should not be their bondmen; and I have broken the bands of your yoke, and made you go upright.

14 Quod si non audieritis me, nec feceritis omnia mandata mea,

But if ye will not hearken unto me, and will not do all these commandments;

15 si spreveritis leges meas, et iudicia mea contempseritis, ut non faciatis ea quae a me constituta sunt, et ad irritum perducatis pactum meum:

And if ye shall despise my statutes, or if your soul abhor my judgments, so that ye will not do all my commandments, [but] that ye break my covenant:

16 ego quoque haec faciam vobis: Visitabo vos velociter in egestate, et ardore, qui conficiat oculos vestros, et consumat animas vestras. Frustra seretis sementem, quae ab hostibus devorabitur.

I also will do this unto you; I will even appoint over you terror, consumption, and the burning ague, that shall consume the eyes, and cause sorrow of heart: and ye shall sow your seed in vain, for your enemies shall eat it.

17 Ponam faciem meam contra vos, et corruetis coram hostibus vestris, et subiiciemini his qui oderunt vos. fugietis, nemine persequente.

And I will set my face against you, and ye shall be slain before your enemies: they that hate you shall reign over you; and ye shall flee when none pursueth you.

18 Sin autem nec sic obedieritis mihi, addam correptiones vestras septuplum propter peccata vestra,

And if ye will not yet for all this hearken unto me, then I will punish you seven times more for your sins.

19 et conteram superbiam duritiae vestrae. Daboque vobis caelum desuper sicut ferrum, et terram aeneam.

And I will break the pride of your power; and I will make your heaven as iron, and your earth as brass:

20 Consumetur incassum labor vester, non proferet terra germen, nec arbores poma praebebunt.

And your strength shall be spent in vain: for your land shall not yield her increase, neither shall the trees of the land yield their fruits.

21 Si ambulaveritis ex adverso mihi, nec volueritis audire me, addam plagas vestras in septuplum propter peccata vestra:

And if ye walk contrary unto me, and will not hearken unto me; I will bring seven times more plagues upon you according to your sins.

22 immittamque in vos bestias agri, quae consumant vos, et pecora vestra, et ad paucitatem cuncta redigant, desertaeque fiant viae vestrae.

I will also send wild beasts among you, which shall rob you of your children, and destroy your cattle, and make you few in number; and your [high] ways shall be desolate.

23 Quod si nec sic volueritis recipere disciplinam, sed ambulaveritis ex adverso mihi:

And if ye will not be reformed by me by these things, but will walk contrary unto me;

24 ego quoque contra vos adversus incedam, et percutiam vos septies propter peccata vestra.

Then will I also walk contrary unto you, and will punish you yet seven times for your sins.

25 inducamque super vos gladium ultorem foederis mei. Cumque confugeritis in urbes, mittam pestilentiam in medio vestri, et trademini in manibus hostium,

And I will bring a sword upon you, that shall avenge the quarrel of [my] covenant: and when ye are gathered together within your cities, I will send the pestilence among you; and ye shall be delivered into the hand of the enemy.

26 postquam confregero baculum panis vestri: ita ut decem mulieres in uno clibano coquant panes, et reddant eos ad pondus: et comedetis, et non saturabimini.

[And] when I have broken the staff of your bread, ten women shall bake your bread in one oven, and they shall deliver [you] your bread again by weight: and ye shall eat, and not be satisfied.

27 Sin autem nec per haec audieritis me, sed ambulaveritis contra me:

And if ye will not for all this hearken unto me, but walk contrary unto me;

28 et ego incedam adversus vos in furore contrario, et corripiam vos septem plagis propter peccata vestra,

Then I will walk contrary unto you also in fury; and I, even I, will chastise you seven times for your sins.

29 ita ut comedatis carnes filiorum vestrorum et filiarum vestrarum.

And ye shall eat the flesh of your sons, and the flesh of your daughters shall ye eat.

30 destruam excelsa vestra, et simulachra confringam. Cadetis inter ruinas idolorum vestrorum, et abominabitur vos anima mea,

And I will destroy your high places, and cut down your images, and cast your carcases upon the carcases of your idols, and my soul shall abhor you.

31 in tantum ut urbes vestras redigam in solitudinem, et deserta faciam Sanctuaria vestra, nec recipiam ultra odorem suavissimum.

And I will make your cities waste, and bring your sanctuaries unto desolation, and I will not smell the savour of your sweet odours.

32 Disperdamque terram vestram, et stupebunt super ea inimici vestri, cum habitatores illius fuerint.

And I will bring the land into desolation: and your enemies which dwell therein shall be astonished at it.

33 Vos autem dispergam in Gentes, et evaginabo post vos gladium, eritque terra vestra deserta, et civitates vestrae dirutae.

And I will scatter you among the heathen, and will draw out a sword after you: and your land shall be desolate, and your cities waste.

34 Tunc placebunt terrae sabbata sua cunctis diebus solitudinis suae: quando fueritis

Then shall the land enjoy her sabbaths, as long as it lieth desolate, and ye [be] in your enemies’ land; [even] then shall the land rest, and enjoy her sabbaths.

35 in terra hostili, sabbatizabit, et requiescet in sabbatis solitudinis suae, eo quod non requieverit in sabbatis vestris quando habitabatis in ea.

As long as it lieth desolate it shall rest; because it did not rest in your sabbaths, when ye dwelt upon it.

36 Et qui de vobis remanserint, dabo pavorem in cordibus eorum in regionibus hostium, terrebit eos sonitus folii volantis, et ita fugient quasi gladium: cadent, nullo persequente,

And upon them that are left [alive] of you I will send a faintness into their hearts in the lands of their enemies; and the sound of a shaken leaf shall chase them; and they shall flee, as fleeing from a sword; and they shall fall when none pursueth.

37 et corruent singuli super fratres suos quasi bella fugientes, nemo vestrum inimicis audebit resistere.

And they shall fall one upon another, as it were before a sword, when none pursueth: and ye shall have no power to stand before your enemies.

38 peribitis inter Gentes, et hostilis vos terra consumet.

And ye shall perish among the heathen, and the land of your enemies shall eat you up.

39 Quod si et de iis aliqui remanserint, tabescent in iniquitatibus suis, in terra inimicorum suorum, et propter peccata patrum suorum et sua affligentur:

And they that are left of you shall pine away in their iniquity in your enemies’ lands; and also in the iniquities of their fathers shall they pine away with them.

40 donec confiteantur iniquitates suas, et maiorum suorum, quibus praevaricati sunt in me, et ambulaverunt ex adverso mihi.

If they shall confess their iniquity, and the iniquity of their fathers, with their trespass which they trespassed against me, and that also they have walked contrary unto me;

41 Ambulabo igitur et ego contra eos, et inducam illos in terram hostilem, donec erubescat incircumcisa mens eorum: tunc orabunt pro impietatibus suis.

And [that] I also have walked contrary unto them, and have brought them into the land of their enemies; if then their uncircumcised hearts be humbled, and they then accept of the punishment of their iniquity:

42 Et recordabor foederis mei quod pepigi cum Iacob, et Isaac, et Abraham. Terrae quoque memor ero:

Then will I remember my covenant with Jacob, and also my covenant with Isaac, and also my covenant with Abraham will I remember; and I will remember the land.

43 quae cum relicta fuerit ab eis, complacebit sibi in sabbatis suis, patiens solitudinem propter illos. Ipsi vero rogabunt pro peccatis suis, eo quod abiecerint iudicia mea, et leges meas despexerint.

The land also shall be left of them, and shall enjoy her sabbaths, while she lieth desolate without them: and they shall accept of the punishment of their iniquity: because, even because they despised my judgments, and because their soul abhorred my statutes.

44 Attamen etiam cum essent in terra hostili, non penitus abieci eos, neque sic despexi ut consumerentur, et irritum facerent pactum meum cum eis. Ego enim sum Dominus Deus eorum,

And yet for all that, when they be in the land of their enemies, I will not cast them away, neither will I abhor them, to destroy them utterly, and to break my covenant with them: for I [am] the LORD their God.

45 et recordabor foederis mei pristini, quando eduxi eos de Terra Aegypti in conspectu Gentium, ut essem Deus eorum. ego Dominus Deus.

But I will for their sakes remember the covenant of their ancestors, whom I brought forth out of the land of Egypt in the sight of the heathen, that I might be their God: I [am] the LORD.

46 Haec sunt iudicia atque praecepta et leges, quas dedit Dominus inter se et inter filios Israel in monte Sinai per manum Moysi.

These [are] the statutes and judgments and laws, which the LORD made between him and the children of Israel in mount Sinai by the hand of Moses.
