Deuteronomii 9

1 audi Israhel tu transgredieris hodie Iordanem ut possideas nationes maximas et fortiores te civitates ingentes et ad caelum usque muratas

Hear, O Israel: thou art to pass over Jordan this day, to go in to possess nations greater and mightier than thyself, cities great and fenced up to heaven,

2 populum magnum atque sublimem filios Enacim quos ipse vidisti et audisti quibus nullus potest ex adverso resistere

a people great and tall, the sons of the Anakim, whom thou knowest, and of whom thou hast heard say, Who can stand before the sons of Anak?

3 scies ergo hodie quod Dominus Deus tuus ipse transibit ante te ignis devorans atque consumens qui conterat eos et deleat atque disperdat ante faciem tuam velociter sicut locutus est tibi

Know therefore this day, that the LORD thy God is he which goeth over before thee as a devouring fire; he shall destroy them, and he shall bring them down before thee: so shalt thou drive them out, and make them to perish quickly, as the LORD hath spoken unto thee.

4 ne dicas in corde tuo cum deleverit eos Dominus Deus tuus in conspectu tuo propter iustitiam meam introduxit me Dominus ut terram hanc possiderem cum propter impietates suas istae deletae sint nationes

Speak not thou in thine heart, after that the LORD thy God hath thrust them out from before thee, saying, For my righteousness the LORD hath brought me in to possess this land: whereas for the wickedness of these nations the LORD doth drive them out from before thee.

5 neque enim propter iustitias tuas et aequitatem cordis tui ingredieris ut possideas terras eorum sed quia illae egerunt impie te introeunte deletae sunt et ut conpleret verbum suum Dominus quod sub iuramento pollicitus est patribus tuis Abraham Isaac et Iacob

Not for thy righteousness, or for the uprightness of thine heart, dost thou go in to possess their land: but for the wickedness of these nations the LORD thy God doth drive them out from before thee, and that he may establish the word which the LORD sware unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob.

6 scito igitur quod non propter iustitias tuas Dominus Deus tuus dederit tibi terram hanc optimam in possessionem cum durissimae cervicis sis populus

Know therefore, that the LORD thy God giveth thee not this good land to possess it for thy righteousness; for thou art a stiffnecked people.

7 memento et ne obliviscaris quomodo ad iracundiam provocaveris Dominum Deum tuum in solitudine ex eo die quo es egressus ex Aegypto usque ad locum istum semper adversum Dominum contendisti

Remember, forget thou not, how thou provokedst the LORD thy God to wrath in the wilderness: from the day that thou wentest forth out of the land of Egypt, until ye came unto this place, ye have been rebellious against the LORD.

8 nam et in Horeb provocasti eum et iratus delere te voluit

Also in Horeb ye provoked the LORD to wrath, and the LORD was angry with you to have destroyed you.

9 quando ascendi in montem ut acciperem tabulas lapideas tabulas pacti quod pepigit vobiscum Dominus et perseveravi in monte quadraginta diebus ac noctibus panem non comedens et aquam non bibens

When I was gone up into the mount to receive the tables of stone, even the tables of the covenant which the LORD made with you, then I abode in the mount forty days and forty nights; I did neither eat bread nor drink water.

10 deditque mihi Dominus duas tabulas lapideas scriptas digito Dei et continentes omnia verba quae vobis in monte locutus est de medio ignis quando contio populi congregata est

And the LORD delivered unto me the two tables of stone written with the finger of God; and on them [was written] according to all the words, which the LORD spake with you in the mount out of the midst of the fire in the day of the assembly.

11 cumque transissent quadraginta dies et totidem noctes dedit mihi Dominus duas tabulas lapideas tabulas foederis

And it came to pass at the end of forty days and forty nights, that the LORD gave me the two tables of stone, even the tables of the covenant.

12 dixitque mihi surge et descende hinc cito quia populus tuus quos eduxisti de Aegypto deseruerunt velociter viam quam demonstrasti eis feceruntque sibi conflatile

And the LORD said unto me, Arise, get thee down quickly from hence; for thy people which thou hast brought forth out of Egypt have corrupted themselves; they are quickly turned aside out of the way which I commanded them; they have made them a molten image.

13 rursumque ait Dominus ad me cerno quod populus iste durae cervicis sit

Furthermore the LORD spake unto me, saying, I have seen this people, and, behold, it is a stiffnecked people:

14 dimitte me ut conteram eum et deleam nomen eius sub caelo et constituam te super gentem quae hac maior et fortior sit

let me alone, that I may destroy them, and blot out their name from under heaven: and I will make of thee a nation mightier and greater than they.

15 cumque de monte ardente descenderem et duas tabulas foederis utraque tenerem manu

So I turned and came down from the mount, and the mount burned with fire: and the two tables of the covenant were in my two hands.

16 vidissemque vos peccasse Domino Deo vestro et fecisse vobis vitulum conflatilem ac deseruisse velociter viam eius quam vobis ostenderat

And I looked, and, behold, ye had sinned against the LORD your God; ye had made you a molten calf: ye had turned aside quickly out of the way which the LORD had commanded you.

17 proieci tabulas de manibus meis confregique eas in conspectu vestro

And I took hold of the two tables, and cast them out of my two hands, and brake them before your eyes.

18 et procidi ante Dominum sicut prius quadraginta diebus et noctibus panem non comedens et aquam non bibens propter omnia peccata vestra quae gessistis contra Dominum et eum ad iracundiam provocastis

And I fell down before the LORD, as at the first, forty days and forty nights; I did neither eat bread nor drink water; because of all your sin which ye sinned, in doing that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, to provoke him to anger.

19 timui enim indignationem et iram illius qua adversum vos concitatus delere vos voluit et exaudivit me Dominus etiam hac vice

For I was afraid of the anger and hot displeasure, wherewith the LORD was wroth against you to destroy you. But the LORD hearkened unto me that time also.

20 adversum Aaron quoque vehementer iratus voluit eum conterere et pro illo similiter deprecatus sum

And the LORD was very angry with Aaron to have destroyed him: and I prayed for Aaron also the same time.

21 peccatum autem vestrum quod feceratis id est vitulum arripiens igne conbusi et in frusta comminuens omninoque in pulverem redigens proieci in torrentem qui de monte descendit

And I took your sin, the calf which ye had made, and burnt it with fire, and stamped it, grinding it very small, until it was as fine as dust: and I cast the dust thereof into the brook that descended out of the mount.

22 in Incendio quoque et in Temptatione et in sepulchris Concupiscentiae provocastis Dominum

And at Taberah, and at Massah, and at Kibroth-hattaavah, ye provoked the LORD to wrath.

23 et quando misit vos de Cadesbarne dicens ascendite et possidete terram quam dedi vobis et contempsistis imperium Domini Dei vestri et non credidistis ei neque vocem eius audire voluistis

And when the LORD sent you from Kadesh-barnea, saying, Go up and possess the land which I have given you; then ye rebelled against the commandment of the LORD your God, and ye believed him not, nor hearkened to his voice.

24 sed semper fuistis rebelles a die qua nosse vos coepi

Ye have been rebellious against the LORD from the day that I knew you.

25 et iacui coram Domino quadraginta diebus ac noctibus quibus eum suppliciter deprecabar ne deleret vos ut fuerat comminatus

So I fell down before the LORD the forty days and forty nights that I fell down; because the LORD had said he would destroy you.

26 et orans dixi Domine Deus ne disperdas populum tuum et hereditatem tuam quam redemisti in magnitudine tua quos eduxisti de Aegypto in manu forti

And I prayed unto the LORD, and said, O Lord GOD, destroy not thy people and thine inheritance, which thou hast redeemed through thy greatness, which thou hast brought forth out of Egypt with a mighty hand.

27 recordare servorum tuorum Abraham Isaac et Iacob ne aspicias duritiam populi huius et impietatem atque peccatum

Remember thy servants, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; look not unto the stubbornness of this people, nor to their wickedness, nor to their sin:

28 ne forte dicant habitatores terrae de qua eduxisti nos non poterat Dominus introducere eos in terram quam pollicitus est eis et oderat illos idcirco eduxit ut interficeret eos in solitudine

lest the land whence thou broughtest us out say, Because the LORD was not able to bring them into the land which he promised unto them, and because he hated them, he hath brought them out to slay them in the wilderness.

29 qui sunt populus tuus et hereditas tua quos eduxisti in fortitudine tua magna et in brachio tuo extento

Yet they are thy people and thine inheritance, which thou broughtest out by thy great power and by thy stretched out arm.
