1 ama itaque Dominum Deum tuum et observa praecepta eius et caerimonias iudicia atque mandata omni tempore
Therefore love the Lord thy God and observe his precepts and ceremonies, his judgments and commandments at all times.
2 cognoscite hodie quae ignorant filii vestri qui non viderunt disciplinam Domini Dei vestri magnalia eius et robustam manum extentumque brachium
Know this day the things that your children know not, who saw not the chastisements of the Lord your God. his great doings and strong hand, and stretched out arm,
3 signa et opera quae fecit in medio Aegypti Pharaoni regi et universae terrae eius
The signs and works which he did in the midst of Egypt to king Pharao, and to all his land,
4 omnique exercitui Aegyptiorum et equis ac curribus quomodo operuerint eos aquae Rubri maris cum vos persequerentur et deleverit eos Dominus usque in praesentem diem
And to all the host of the Egyptians, and to their horses and chariots: how the waters of the Red Sea covered them, when they pursued you, and how the Lord destroyed them until this present day:
5 vobisque quae fecerit in solitudine donec veniretis ad hunc locum
And what he hath done to you in the wilderness, till you came to this place:
6 et Dathan atque Abiram filiis Heliab qui fuit filius Ruben quos aperto ore suo terra absorbuit cum domibus et tabernaculis et universa substantia eorum quam habebant in medio Israhelis
And to Dathan and Abiron the sons of Eliab, who was the son of Ruben: whom the earth, opening her mouth swallowed up with their households and tents, and all their substance, which they had in the midst of Israel.
7 oculi vestri viderunt omnia opera Domini magna quae fecit
Your eyes have seen all the greet works of the Lord, that he hath done,
8 ut custodiatis universa mandata illius quae ego hodie praecipio vobis et possitis introire et possidere terram ad quam ingredimini

9 multoque in ea vivatis tempore quam sub iuramento pollicitus est Dominus patribus vestris et semini eorum lacte et melle manantem
And may live in it a long time: which the Lord promised by oath to your fathers, and to their seed, a land which floweth with milk and honey.
10 terra enim ad quam ingredieris possidendam non est sicut terra Aegypti de qua existi ubi iacto semine in hortorum morem aquae ducuntur inriguae
For the land, which thou goest to possess, is not like the land of Egypt, from whence thou camest out, where, when the seed is sown, waters are brought in to water it after the manner of gardens.
11 sed montuosa est et campestris de caelo expectans pluvias
But it is a land of hills and plains, expecting rain from heaven.
12 quam Dominus Deus tuus semper invisit et oculi illius in ea sunt a principio anni usque ad finem eius
And the Lord thy God doth always visit it, and his eyes are on it from the beginning of the year unto the end thereof.
13 si ergo oboedieritis mandatis meis quae hodie praecipio vobis ut diligatis Dominum Deum vestrum et serviatis ei in toto corde vestro et in tota anima vestra
If then you obey my commandments, which I command you this day, that you love the Lord your God, and serve him with all your heart, and with all your soul:
14 dabo pluviam terrae vestrae temporivam et serotinam ut colligatis frumentum et vinum et oleum
He will give to your land the early rain and the latter rain, that you may gather in your corn, and your wine, and your oil,
15 faenum ex agris ad pascenda iumenta et ut ipsi comedatis ac saturemini
And your hay out of the fields to feed your cattle, and that you may eat and be filled.
16 cavete ne forte decipiatur cor vestrum et recedatis a Domino serviatisque diis alienis et adoretis eos
Beware lest perhaps your heart be deceived, and you depart from the Lord, and serve strange gods, and adore them:
17 iratusque Dominus claudat caelum et pluviae non descendant nec terra det germen suum pereatisque velociter de terra optima quam Dominus daturus est vobis
And the Lord being angry shut up heaven, that the rain come not down, nor the earth yield her fruit, and you perish quickly from the excellent land, which the Lord will give you.
18 ponite haec verba mea in cordibus et in animis vestris et suspendite ea pro signo in manibus et inter vestros oculos conlocate
Lay up these my words in your hearts and minds, and hang them for a sign on your hands, and place them between your eyes.
19 docete filios vestros ut illa meditentur quando sederis in domo tua et ambulaveris in via et accubueris atque surrexeris

20 scribes ea super postes et ianuas domus tuae

21 ut multiplicentur dies tui et filiorum tuorum in terra quam iuravit Dominus patribus tuis ut daret eis quamdiu caelum inminet terrae
That thy days may be multiplied, and the days of thy children in the land which the Lord swore to thy fathers, that he would give them as long as the heaven hangeth over the earth.
22 si enim custodieritis mandata quae ego praecipio vobis et feceritis ea ut diligatis Dominum Deum vestrum et ambuletis in omnibus viis eius adherentes ei
For if you keep the commandments which I command you, and do them, to love the Lord your God, and walk in all his ways, cleaving unto him,
23 disperdet Dominus omnes gentes istas ante faciem vestram et possidebitis eas quae maiores et fortiores vobis sunt
The Lord will destroy all these nations before your face, and you shall possess them, which are greater and stronger than you.
24 omnis locus quem calcaverit pes vester vester erit a deserto et Libano a flumine magno Eufraten usque ad mare occidentale erunt termini vestri
Every place, that your foot shall tread upon, shall be yours. From the desert, and from Libanus, from the great river Euphrates unto the western sea shall be your borders.
25 nullus stabit contra vos terrorem vestrum et formidinem dabit Dominus Deus vester super omnem terram quam calcaturi estis sicut locutus est vobis

26 en propono in conspectu vestro hodie benedictionem et maledictionem

27 benedictionem si oboedieritis mandatis Domini Dei vestri quae ego praecipio vobis
A blessing, if you obey the commandments of the Lord your God, which I command you this day:
28 maledictionem si non audieritis mandata Domini Dei vestri sed recesseritis de via quam ego nunc ostendo vobis et ambulaveritis post deos alienos quos ignoratis
A curse, if you obey not the commandments of the Lord your. God, but revolt from the way which now I shew you, and walk after strange gods which you know not.
29 cum introduxerit te Dominus Deus tuus in terram ad quam pergis habitandam pones benedictionem super montem Garizim maledictionem super montem Hebal
And when the Lord thy God shall have brought thee into the land, whither thou goest to dwell, thou shalt put the blessing upon mount Garizim, the curse upon mount Hebal:
30 qui sunt trans Iordanem post viam quae vergit ad solis occubitum in terra Chananei qui habitat in campestribus contra Galgalam quae est iuxta vallem tendentem et intrantem procul
Which are beyond the Jordan, behind the way that goeth to the setting of the sun, in the land of the Chanaanite who dwelleth in the plain country over against Galgala, which is near the valley that reacheth and entereth far.
31 vos enim transibitis Iordanem ut possideatis terram quam Dominus Deus vester daturus est vobis et habeatis ac possideatis illam
For you shall pass over the Jordan, to possess the land, which the Lord your God will give you, that you may have it and possess it.
32 videte ergo ut impleatis caerimonias atque iudicia quae ego hodie ponam in conspectu vestro
See therefore that you fulfill the ceremonies and judgments, which I shall set this day before you.
