Deuteronomii 27
1 praecepit autem Moses et seniores Israhel populo dicentes custodite omne mandatum quod praecipio vobis hodie
And Moses and the elders of Israel commanded the people, saying: 'Keep all the commandment which I command you this day.
2 cumque transieritis Iordanem in terram quam Dominus Deus tuus dabit tibi eriges ingentes lapides et calce levigabis eos
And it shall be on the day when ye shall pass over the Jordan unto the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee, that thou shalt set thee up great stones, and plaster them with plaster.
3 ut possis in eis scribere omnia verba legis huius Iordane transmisso ut introeas terram quam Dominus Deus tuus dabit tibi terram lacte et melle manantem sicut iuravit patribus tuis
And thou shalt write upon them all the words of this law, when thou art passed over; that thou mayest go in unto the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee, a land flowing with milk and honey, as the LORD, the God of thy fathers, hath promised thee.
4 quando ergo transieritis Iordanem erige lapides quos ego hodie praecipio vobis in monte Hebal et levigabis calce
And it shall be when ye are passed over the Jordan, that ye shall set up these stones, which I command you this day, in mount Ebal, and thou shalt plaster them with plaster.
5 et aedificabis ibi altare Domino Deo tuo de lapidibus quos ferrum non tetigit
And there shalt thou build an altar unto the LORD thy God, an altar of stones; thou shalt lift up no iron tool upon them.
6 et de saxis informibus et inpolitis et offeres super eo holocausta Domino Deo tuo
Thou shalt build the altar of the LORD thy God of unhewn stones; and thou shalt offer burnt-offerings thereon unto the LORD thy God.
7 et immolabis hostias pacificas comedesque ibi et epulaberis coram Domino Deo tuo
And thou shalt sacrifice peace-offerings, and shalt eat there; and thou shalt rejoice before the LORD thy God.
8 et scribes super lapides omnia verba legis huius plane et lucide
And thou shalt write upon the stones all the words of this law very plainly.'
9 dixeruntque Moses et sacerdotes levitici generis ad omnem Israhelem adtende et audi Israhel hodie factus es populus Domini Dei tui
And Moses and the priests the Levites spoke unto all Israel, saying: 'Keep silence, and hear, O Israel; this day thou art become a people unto the LORD thy God.
10 audies vocem eius et facies mandata atque iustitias quas ego praecipio tibi
Thou shalt therefore hearken to the voice of the LORD thy God, and do His commandments and His statutes, which I command thee this day.'
11 praecepitque Moses populo in die illo dicens
And Moses charged the people the same day, saying:
12 hii stabunt ad benedicendum Domino super montem Garizim Iordane transmisso Symeon Levi Iudas Isachar Ioseph et Beniamin
'These shall stand upon mount Gerizim to bless the people, when ye are passed over the Jordan: Simeon, and Levi, and Judah, and Issachar, and Joseph, and Benjamin;
13 et e regione isti stabunt ad maledicendum in monte Hebal Ruben Gad et Aser Zabulon Dan et Nepthalim
and these shall stand upon mount Ebal for the curse: Reuben, Gad, and Asher, and Zebulun, Dan, and Naphtali.
14 et pronuntiabunt Levitae dicentque ad omnes viros Israhel excelsa voce
And the Levites shall speak, and say unto all the men of Israel with a loud voice:
