Deuteronomii 6

1 haec sunt praecepta et caerimoniae atque iudicia quae mandavit Dominus Deus vester ut docerem vos et faciatis ea in terra ad quam transgredimini possidendam

Now this is the commandment, the statutes and the ordinances, which Jehovah your God commanded to teach you, that ye might do them in the land where ye go over to possess it,

2 ut timeas Dominum Deum tuum et custodias omnia mandata et praecepta eius quae ego praecipio tibi et filiis ac nepotibus tuis cunctis diebus vitae tuae ut prolongentur dies tui

that thou might fear Jehovah thy God, to keep all his statutes and his commandments, which I command thee, thou, and thy son, and thy son's son, all the days of thy life, and that thy days may be prolonged.

3 audi Israhel et observa ut facias et bene sit tibi et multipliceris amplius sicut pollicitus est Dominus Deus patrum tuorum tibi terram lacte et melle manantem

Hear therefore, O Israel, and observe to do it, that it may be well with thee, and that ye may increase mightily, as Jehovah, the God of thy fathers, has promised to thee, in a land flowing with milk and honey.

4 audi Israhel Dominus Deus noster Dominus unus est

Hear, O Israel: Jehovah our God is one Jehovah.

5 diliges Dominum Deum tuum ex toto corde tuo et ex tota anima tua et ex tota fortitudine tua

And thou shall love Jehovah thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might.

6 eruntque verba haec quae ego praecipio tibi hodie in corde tuo

And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be upon thy heart.

7 et narrabis ea filiis tuis et meditaberis sedens in domo tua et ambulans in itinere dormiens atque consurgens

And thou shall teach them diligently to thy sons, and shall talk of them when thou sit in thy house, and when thou walk by the way, and when thou lie down, and when thou rise up.

8 et ligabis ea quasi signum in manu tua eruntque et movebuntur inter oculos tuos

And thou shall bind them for a sign upon thy hand, and they shall be for frontlets between thine eyes.

9 scribesque ea in limine et ostiis domus tuae

And thou shall write them upon the door-posts of thy house, and upon thy gates.

10 cumque introduxerit te Dominus Deus tuus in terram pro qua iuravit patribus tuis Abraham Isaac et Iacob et dederit tibi civitates magnas et optimas quas non aedificasti

And it shall be, when Jehovah thy God shall bring thee into the land which he swore to thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give thee, great and goodly cities, which thou did not build,

11 domos plenas cunctarum opum quas non extruxisti cisternas quas non fodisti vineta et oliveta quae non plantasti

and houses full of all good things, which thou did not fill, and cisterns hewn out, which thou did not hew, vineyards and olive trees, which thou did not plant, and thou shall eat and be full,

12 et comederis et saturatus fueris

then beware lest thou forget Jehovah, who brought thee forth out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.

13 cave diligenter ne obliviscaris Domini qui eduxit te de terra Aegypti de domo servitutis Dominum Deum tuum timebis et ipsi servies ac per nomen illius iurabis

Thou shall fear Jehovah thy God, and him thou shall serve, and shall swear by his name.

14 non ibitis post deos alienos cunctarum gentium quae in circuitu vestro sunt

Ye shall not go after other gods, of the gods of the peoples that are round about you,

15 quoniam Deus aemulator Dominus Deus tuus in medio tui nequando irascatur furor Domini Dei tui contra te et auferat te de superficie terrae

for Jehovah thy God in the midst of thee is a jealous God, lest the anger of Jehovah thy God be kindled against thee, and he destroy thee from off the face of the earth.

16 non temptabis Dominum Deum tuum sicut temptasti in loco temptationis

Ye shall not challenge Jehovah your God, as ye challenged him in Massah.

17 custodi praecepta Domini Dei tui ac testimonia et caerimonias quas praecepit tibi

Ye shall diligently keep the commandments of Jehovah your God, and his testimonies, and his statutes, which he has commanded thee.

18 et fac quod placitum est et bonum in conspectu Domini ut bene sit tibi et ingressus possideas terram optimam de qua iuravit Dominus patribus tuis

And thou shall do that which is right and good in the sight of Jehovah, that it may be well with thee, and that thou may go in and possess the good land which Jehovah swore to thy fathers,

19 ut deleret omnes inimicos tuos coram te sicut locutus est

to thrust out all thine enemies from before thee, as Jehovah has spoken.

20 cum interrogaverit te filius tuus cras dicens quid sibi volunt testimonia haec et caerimoniae atque iudicia quae praecepit Dominus Deus noster nobis

When thy son asks thee in time to come, saying, What is the meaning of the testimonies, and the statutes, and the ordinances, which Jehovah our God has commanded you?

21 dices ei servi eramus Pharaonis in Aegypto et eduxit nos Dominus de Aegypto in manu forti

Then thou shall say to thy son, We were Pharaoh's bondmen in Egypt, and Jehovah brought us out of Egypt with a mighty hand.

22 fecitque signa atque prodigia magna et pessima in Aegypto contra Pharaonem et omnem domum illius in conspectu nostro

And Jehovah showed signs and wonders, great and grievous, upon Egypt, upon Pharaoh, and upon all his house, before our eyes.

23 et eduxit nos inde ut introductis daret terram super qua iuravit patribus nostris

And he brought us out from there that he might bring us in to give us the land which he swore to our fathers.

24 praecepitque nobis Dominus ut faciamus omnia legitima haec et timeamus Dominum Deum nostrum et bene sit nobis cunctis diebus vitae nostrae sicut est hodie

And Jehovah commanded us to do all these statutes, to fear Jehovah our God for our good always, that he might preserve us alive as at this day.

25 eritque nostri misericors si custodierimus et fecerimus omnia praecepta eius coram Domino Deo nostro sicut mandavit nobis

And it shall be righteousness to us, if we observe to do all this commandment before Jehovah our God as he has commanded us.
