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 command, the statutes and the judgments which your God YHWH has commanded to teach you to do in the land which you are passing over there 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

so that you fear your God YHWH, to keep all His statutes and His commands which I am commanding you, you, and your son, and your son’s son, all [the] days of your life, and so that your days are 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

And you have heard, O Israel, and observed to do [them], that it may be well with you, and that you may multiply exceedingly, as YHWH, God of your fathers, has spoken to you, [in] the land flowing with milk and honey.

4 audi Israhel Dominus Deus noster Dominus unus est

Hear, O Israel: Our God YHWH—YHWH [is] one!

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

And you have loved your God YHWH with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your might.

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

And these words which I am commanding you today have been on your heart,

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

and you have repeated them to your sons, and spoken of them in your sitting in your house, and in your walking in the way, and in your lying down, and in your rising up,

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

and have bound them for a sign on your hand, and they have been for frontlets between your eyes,

9 scribesque ea in limine et ostiis domus tuae

and you have written them on doorposts of your house and on 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 has been, when your God YHWH brings you into the land which He has sworn to your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give to you great and good cities which you have not built,

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 you have not filled, and wells dug which you have not dug, vineyards and olive-yards which you have not planted, that you have eaten and been satisfied.

12 et comederis et saturatus fueris

Take heed to yourself lest you forget YHWH who has brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of a house of servants.

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 fear your God YHWH, and you serve Him, and you swear by His Name.

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

You do not go after other gods, of the gods of the peoples who [are] around 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 your God YHWH [is] a zealous God in your midst—lest the anger of your God YHWH burns against you, and He has destroyed you from off the face of the ground.

16 non temptabis Dominum Deum tuum sicut temptasti in loco temptationis

You do not try your God YHWH as you tried [Him] in Massah.

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

You diligently keep the commands of your God YHWH, and His testimonies and His statutes which He has 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 have done that which is right and good in the eyes of YHWH, so that it is well with you, and you have gone in and possessed the good land which YHWH has sworn to your fathers,

19 ut deleret omnes inimicos tuos coram te sicut locutus est

to drive away all your enemies from your presence, as YHWH 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 your son asks you hereafter, saying, What [are] the testimonies, and the statutes, and the judgments which our God YHWH has commanded you?

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

Then you have said to your son, We have been servants of Pharaoh in Egypt, and YHWH brings us out of Egypt by a high hand;

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

and YHWH gives signs and wonders, great and severe, on Egypt, on Pharaoh, and on all his house, before our eyes;

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

and He has brought us out from there, in order to bring us in, to give to us the land which He had sworn 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 YHWH commands us to do all these statutes, to fear our God YHWH, for good to ourselves [for] all the days, to keep 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 is righteousness for us when we observe to do all this command before our God YHWH, as He has commanded us.”
