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
These now are the commandements, ordinances, and lawes, which the Lord your God commanded me to teach you, that ye might doe them in the land whither ye go to possesse 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 mightest feare the Lord thy God, and keepe all his ordinances, and his commandements which I commaund thee, thou, and thy sonne, and thy sonnes sonne all the dayes of thy life, euen that thy dayes 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
Heare therefore, O Israel, and take heede to doe it, that it may go well with thee, and that ye may increase mightily in the land that floweth with milke and hony, as the Lord God of thy fathers hath promised thee.
4 audi Israhel Dominus Deus noster Dominus unus est
Heare, O Israel, The Lord our God is Lord onely,
5 diliges Dominum Deum tuum ex toto corde tuo et ex tota anima tua et ex tota fortitudine tua
And thou shalt loue the Lord thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soule, and with all thy might.
6 eruntque verba haec quae ego praecipio tibi hodie in corde tuo
And these wordes which I commaund thee this day, shalbe in thine heart.
7 et narrabis ea filiis tuis et meditaberis sedens in domo tua et ambulans in itinere dormiens atque consurgens
And thou shalt rehearse them continually vnto thy children, and shalt talke of them when thou tariest in thine house, and as thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest downe, and when thou risest vp:
8 et ligabis ea quasi signum in manu tua eruntque et movebuntur inter oculos tuos
And thou shalt binde them for a signe vpon thine hand, and they shalbe as frontlets betweene thine eyes.
9 scribesque ea in limine et ostiis domus tuae
Also thou shalt write them vpon ye postes of thine house, and vpon 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 when the Lord thy God hath brought thee into the land, which he sware vnto thy fathers, Abraham, Izhak, and Iaakob, to giue to thee, with great and goodly cities which thou buildedst not,
11 domos plenas cunctarum opum quas non extruxisti cisternas quas non fodisti vineta et oliveta quae non plantasti
And houses full of all maner of goods which thou filledst not, and welles digged which thou diggedst not, vineyards and oliue trees which thou plantedst not, and when thou hast eaten and art full,
12 et comederis et saturatus fueris
Beware least thou forget the Lord, which brought thee out of the land of Egypt, from 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 shalt feare the Lord thy God, and serue him, and shalt sweare by his Name.
14 non ibitis post deos alienos cunctarum gentium quae in circuitu vestro sunt
Ye shall not walke after other gods, after any of the gods of the people which 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 the Lord thy God is a ielous God among you: ) least the wrath of the Lord thy God be kindled against thee, and destroy thee from the face of the earth.
16 non temptabis Dominum Deum tuum sicut temptasti in loco temptationis
Ye shall not tempt the Lord your God, as ye did tempt him in Massah:
17 custodi praecepta Domini Dei tui ac testimonia et caerimonias quas praecepit tibi
But ye shall keepe diligently the commandements of the Lord your God, and his testimonies, and his ordinances which he hath 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 shalt doe that which is right and good in the sight of the Lord: that thou mayest prosper, and that thou mayest go in, and possesse that good land which the Lord sware vnto thy fathers,
19 ut deleret omnes inimicos tuos coram te sicut locutus est
To cast out all thine enemies before thee, as the Lord hath sayd.
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 sonne shall aske thee in time to come, saying, What meane these testimonies, and ordinances, and Lawes, which the Lord our God hath commanded you?
21 dices ei servi eramus Pharaonis in Aegypto et eduxit nos Dominus de Aegypto in manu forti
Then shalt thou say vnto thy sonne, We were Pharaohs bondmen in Egypt: but the Lord brought vs out of Egypt with a mightie hand.
22 fecitque signa atque prodigia magna et pessima in Aegypto contra Pharaonem et omnem domum illius in conspectu nostro
And the Lord shewed signes and wonders great and euill vpon Egypt, vpon Pharaoh, and vpon all his housholde, before our eyes,
23 et eduxit nos inde ut introductis daret terram super qua iuravit patribus nostris
And brought vs out from thence, to bring vs in, and to giue vs the land which he sware vnto 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
Therefore the Lord hath commanded vs, to doe all these ordinances, and to feare the Lord our God, that it may goe euer well with vs, and that he may preserue vs aliue as at this present.
25 eritque nostri misericors si custodierimus et fecerimus omnia praecepta eius coram Domino Deo nostro sicut mandavit nobis
Moreouer, this shall be our righteousnes before the Lord our God, if we take heede to keepe all these commandements, as he hath commanded vs.
