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
And these [are] the commands, and the ordinances, and the judgments, as many as the Lord our God gave commandment to teach you to do so in the land on which you enter to inherit 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 you may fear the Lord your God, keep you all his ordinances, and his commandments, which I command you today, you, and your sons, and your sons' sons, all the days of your life, that you may live many days.
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 them, that it may be well with you, and that you may be greatly multiplied, as the Lord God of your fathers said that he would give you a land flowing with milk and honey: and these [are] the ordinances, and the judgments, which the Lord commanded the children of Israel in the wilderness, when they had gone forth from the land of Egypt.
4 audi Israhel Dominus Deus noster Dominus unus est
Hear, O Israel, The Lord our God is one Lord.
5 diliges Dominum Deum tuum ex toto corde tuo et ex tota anima tua et ex tota fortitudine tua
And you shall love the Lord your God with all your mind, and with all your soul, and all your strength.
6 eruntque verba haec quae ego praecipio tibi hodie in corde tuo
And these words, all that I command you this day, shall be in your heart and in your soul.
7 et narrabis ea filiis tuis et meditaberis sedens in domo tua et ambulans in itinere dormiens atque consurgens
And you shall teach them to your children, and you shall speak of them sitting in the house, and walking by the way, and lying down, and rising up.
8 et ligabis ea quasi signum in manu tua eruntque et movebuntur inter oculos tuos
And you shall fasten them for a sign upon your hand, and it shall be immoveable before your eyes.
9 scribesque ea in limine et ostiis domus tuae
And you shall write them on the lintels of your houses and of your 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 come to pass when the Lord your God shall have brought you into the land which he sware to your fathers, to Abraam, and to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give you great and beautiful cities which you did not build,
11 domos plenas cunctarum opum quas non extruxisti cisternas quas non fodisti vineta et oliveta quae non plantasti
houses full of all good things which you did not fill, wells dug in the rock which you did not dig, vineyards and olive yards which you did not plant, then having eaten and been filled,
12 et comederis et saturatus fueris
beware lest you forget the Lord your God that brought you 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
You shall fear the Lord your God, and him only shall you serve; and you shall cleave to him, and by his name you shall swear.
14 non ibitis post deos alienos cunctarum gentium quae in circuitu vestro sunt
Go you not after other gods of the gods of the nations 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 your God in the midst of you [is] a jealous God, lest the Lord your God be very angry with you, and destroy you from off the face of the earth.
16 non temptabis Dominum Deum tuum sicut temptasti in loco temptationis
You shall not tempt the Lord your God, as you tempted him in the temptation.
17 custodi praecepta Domini Dei tui ac testimonia et caerimonias quas praecepit tibi
You shall by all means keep the commands of the Lord your God, the testimonies, and the ordinances, which he commanded you.
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 you shall do that which is pleasing and good before the Lord your God, that it may be well with you, and that you may go in and inherit the good land, which the Lord sware to your fathers,
19 ut deleret omnes inimicos tuos coram te sicut locutus est
to chase all your enemies from before your face, as the Lord said.
20 cum interrogaverit te filius tuus cras dicens quid sibi volunt testimonia haec et caerimoniae atque iudicia quae praecepit Dominus Deus noster nobis
And it shall come to pass when your son shall ask you at a future time, saying, What are the testimonies, and the ordinances, and the judgments, which the Lord our God has commanded us?
21 dices ei servi eramus Pharaonis in Aegypto et eduxit nos Dominus de Aegypto in manu forti
Then shall you say to your son, We were slaves to Pharao in the land of Egypt, and the Lord brought us forth thence with a mighty hand, and with a high arm.
22 fecitque signa atque prodigia magna et pessima in Aegypto contra Pharaonem et omnem domum illius in conspectu nostro
And the Lord wrought signs and great and grievous wonders in Egypt, on Pharao and on his house before us.
23 et eduxit nos inde ut introductis daret terram super qua iuravit patribus nostris
And he brought us out thence to give us this land, which he sware to give 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 the Lord charged us to observe all these ordinances; to fear the Lord our God, that it may be well with us for ever, that we may live, as even today.
25 eritque nostri misericors si custodierimus et fecerimus omnia praecepta eius coram Domino Deo nostro sicut mandavit nobis
And there shall be mercy to us, if we take heed to keep all these commands before the Lord our God, as he has commanded us.
