Deuteronomii 27
1 praecepit autem Moses et seniores Israhel populo dicentes custodite omne mandatum quod praecipio vobis hodie
Moses and the elders of Israel commanded the people, saying, “Keep all the commandment which I command you today.
2 cumque transieritis Iordanem in terram quam Dominus Deus tuus dabit tibi eriges ingentes lapides et calce levigabis eos
It shall be on the day when you shall pass over the Jordan to the land which Yahweh your God gives you, that you shall set yourself up great stones, and coat 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
You shall write on them all the words of this law, when you have passed over, that you may go in to the land which Yahweh your God gives you, a land flowing with milk and honey, as Yahweh, the God of your fathers, has promised you.
4 quando ergo transieritis Iordanem erige lapides quos ego hodie praecipio vobis in monte Hebal et levigabis calce
It shall be, when you have crossed over the Jordan, that you shall set up these stones, which I command you today, on Mount Ebal, and you shall coat them with plaster.
5 et aedificabis ibi altare Domino Deo tuo de lapidibus quos ferrum non tetigit
There you shall build an altar to Yahweh your God, an altar of stones. You shall not use any iron tool on them.
6 et de saxis informibus et inpolitis et offeres super eo holocausta Domino Deo tuo
You shall build Yahweh your God’s altar of uncut stones. You shall offer burnt offerings on it to Yahweh your God.
7 et immolabis hostias pacificas comedesque ibi et epulaberis coram Domino Deo tuo
You shall sacrifice peace offerings, and shall eat there. You shall rejoice before Yahweh your God.
8 et scribes super lapides omnia verba legis huius plane et lucide
You shall write on 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
Moses and the Levitical priests spoke to all Israel, saying, “Be silent and listen, Israel! Today you have become the people of Yahweh your God.
10 audies vocem eius et facies mandata atque iustitias quas ego praecipio tibi
You shall therefore obey Yahweh your God’s voice, and do his commandments and his statutes, which I command you today.”
11 praecepitque Moses populo in die illo dicens
Moses commanded 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 on Mount Gerizim to bless the people, when you have crossed over the Jordan: Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar, Joseph, and Benjamin.
13 et e regione isti stabunt ad maledicendum in monte Hebal Ruben Gad et Aser Zabulon Dan et Nepthalim
