Deuteronomii 8
1 omne mandatum quod ego praecipio tibi hodie cave diligenter ut facias ut possitis vivere et multiplicemini ingressique possideatis terram pro qua iuravit Dominus patribus vestris
All the commandment which I command thee this day ye shall observe to do, that ye may live, and multiply, and go in and possess the land which Jehovah swore to your fathers.
2 et recordaberis cuncti itineris per quod adduxit te Dominus Deus tuus quadraginta annis per desertum ut adfligeret te atque temptaret et nota fierent quae in tuo animo versabantur utrum custodires mandata illius an non
And thou shall remember all the way which Jehovah thy God has led thee these forty years in the wilderness, that he might humble thee, to prove thee, to know what was in thy heart, whether thou would keep his commandments, or not.
3 adflixit te penuria et dedit tibi cibum manna quem ignorabas tu et patres tui ut ostenderet tibi quod non in solo pane vivat homo sed in omni verbo quod egreditur ex ore Domini
And he humbled thee, and allowed thee to hunger, and fed thee with manna, which thou knew not, neither did thy fathers know, that he might make thee know that man does not live by bread alone, but man lives by everything that proceeds out of the mouth of Jehovah.
4 vestimentum tuum quo operiebaris nequaquam vetustate defecit et pes tuus non est subtritus en quadragesimus annus est
Thy raiment did not grow old upon thee, neither did thy foot swell, these forty years.
5 ut recogites in corde tuo quia sicut erudit homo filium suum sic Dominus Deus tuus erudivit te
And thou shall consider in thy heart, that, as a man chastens his son, so Jehovah thy God chastens thee.
6 ut custodias mandata Domini Dei tui et ambules in viis eius et timeas eum
And thou shall keep the commandments of Jehovah thy God, to walk in his ways, and to fear him.
7 Dominus enim Deus tuus introducet te in terram bonam terram rivorum aquarumque et fontium in cuius campis et montibus erumpunt fluviorum abyssi
For Jehovah thy God brings thee into a good land, a land of brooks of water, of fountains and springs, flowing forth in valleys and hills;
8 terram frumenti hordei vinearum in qua ficus et mala granata et oliveta nascuntur terram olei ac mellis
a land of wheat and barley, and vines and fig trees and pomegranates, a land of olive trees and honey,
9 ubi absque ulla penuria comedes panem tuum et rerum omnium abundantia perfrueris cuius lapides ferrum sunt et de montibus eius aeris metalla fodiuntur
a land in which thou shall eat bread without scarceness. Thou shall not lack anything in it, a land whose stones are iron, and out of whose hills thou may dig copper.
10 ut cum comederis et satiatus fueris benedicas Domino Deo tuo pro terra optima quam dedit tibi
And thou shall eat and be full, and thou shall bless Jehovah thy God for the good land which he has given thee.
11 observa et cave nequando obliviscaris Domini Dei tui et neglegas mandata eius atque iudicia et caerimonias quas ego praecipio tibi hodie
Beware lest thou forget Jehovah thy God, in not keeping his commandments, and his ordinances, and his statutes, which I command thee this day.
12 ne postquam comederis et satiatus domos pulchras aedificaveris et habitaveris in eis
Lest, when thou have eaten and are full, and have built goodly houses, and dwelt in it,
13 habuerisque armenta et ovium greges argenti et auri cunctarumque rerum copiam
and when thy herds and thy flocks multiply, and thy silver and thy gold is multiplied, and all that thou have is multiplied,
14 elevetur cor tuum et non reminiscaris Domini Dei tui qui eduxit te de terra Aegypti de domo servitutis
then thy heart be lifted up, and thou forget Jehovah thy God, who brought thee forth out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage,
15 et ductor tuus fuit in solitudine magna atque terribili in qua erat serpens flatu adurens et scorpio ac dipsas et nullae omnino aquae qui eduxit rivos de petra durissima
who led thee through the great and terrible wilderness-fiery serpents and scorpions, and thirsty ground where was no water-who brought thee forth water out of the rock of flint,
16 et cibavit te manna in solitudine quod nescierunt patres tui et postquam adflixit ac probavit ad extremum misertus est tui
who fed thee in the wilderness with manna, which thy fathers did not know, that he might humble thee, and that he might prove thee, to do thee good at thy latter end.
17 ne diceres in corde tuo fortitudo mea et robur manus meae haec mihi omnia praestiterunt
And lest thou say in thy heart, My power and the might of my hand has gotten me this wealth.
18 sed recorderis Domini Dei tui quod ipse tibi vires praebuerit ut impleret pactum suum super quo iuravit patribus tuis sicut praesens indicat dies
But thou shall remember Jehovah thy God, for it is he who gives thee power to get wealth, that he may establish his covenant which he swore to thy fathers, as at this day.
19 sin autem oblitus Domini Dei tui secutus fueris alienos deos coluerisque illos et adoraveris ecce nunc praedico tibi quod omnino dispereas
And it shall be, if thou shall forget Jehovah thy God, and walk after other gods, and serve them, and worship them, I testify against you this day that ye shall surely perish.
20 sicut gentes quas delevit Dominus in introitu tuo ita et vos peribitis si inoboedientes fueritis voci Domini Dei vestri
As the nations that Jehovah makes to perish before you, so shall ye perish, because ye would not hearken to the voice of Jehovah your God.
