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 this is the commandment, with the statutes, and the ordinances, which the Lord your God hath commanded to teach you, to do them in the land whither ye are passing 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
In order that you mayest fear the Lord 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 in order 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 them; that it may be well with thee, and that ye may increase greatly, as the Lord the God of thy fathers hath spoken to thee, [in] the land flowing with milk and honey.
4 audi Israhel Dominus Deus noster Dominus unus est
Hear, O Israel! The Lord, our God, is the One Eternal Being.
5 diliges Dominum Deum tuum ex toto corde tuo et ex tota anima tua et ex tota fortitudine tua
And thou shalt love the Lord 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 in thy heart:
7 et narrabis ea filiis tuis et meditaberis sedens in domo tua et ambulans in itinere dormiens atque consurgens
And thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and thou shalt speak of them when thou sittest in thy house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up.
8 et ligabis ea quasi signum in manu tua eruntque et movebuntur inter oculos tuos
And thou shalt bind them for a sign upon thy hand, and they shall be as frontlets between thy eyes.
9 scribesque ea in limine et ostiis domus tuae
And thou shalt 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 the Lord thy God shall bring thee into the land which he hath sworn unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give unto thee, great and goodly cities, which thou didst 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 didst not fill, and wells hewed out which thou didst not hew, vineyards and olive-trees, which thou didst not plant; and thou hast eaten and art satisfied:
12 et comederis et saturatus fueris
Then beware that thou do not forget the Lord, who hath brought thee forth out of the land of Egypt, from the house of slavery.
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
The Lord thy God shalt thou fear, and him shalt thou serve, and by his name shalt thou swear.
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 nations 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 watchful God among you: so that the anger of the Lord thy God may not 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 tempt the Lord your God, as ye tempted him in Massah.
17 custodi praecepta Domini Dei tui ac testimonia et caerimonias quas praecepit tibi
Ye shall diligently keep the commandments of the Lord your God, and his testimonies, and his statutes, 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 do that which is right and good in the eyes of the Lord; in order that it may be well with thee, and that thou mayest go in and take possession of the good land which the Lord hath sworn unto thy fathers,
19 ut deleret omnes inimicos tuos coram te sicut locutus est
To cast out all thy enemies from before thee; as the Lord hath 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 should ask thee in time to come, saying, What mean the testimonies, and the statutes, and the ordinances, 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 unto thy son, We were bondmen unto Pharaoh in Egypt; and the Lord 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 the Lord let come signs and wonders, great and sore, on Egypt, on Pharaoh, and on all his household, before our eyes;
23 et eduxit nos inde ut introductis daret terram super qua iuravit patribus nostris
And us he brought out from there; in order to bring us in, to give us the land which he had sworn unto 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 commanded us to do all these statutes, to fear the Lord our God; that it might be well with us at all times, and that he might preserve us alive, as it is 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 accounted righteousness unto us, if we observe to do all this commandment before the Lord our God, as he hath commanded us.
