Deuteronomii 1

1 haec sunt verba quae locutus est Moses ad omnem Israhel trans Iordanem in solitudine campestri contra mare Rubrum inter Pharan et Thophel et Laban et Aseroth ubi auri est plurimum

These are the words which Moses spoke to all Israel beyond the Jordan in the wilderness, in the Arabah opposite Suph, between Paran, and Tophel, and Laban, and Hazeroth, and Di-zahab.

2 undecim diebus de Horeb per viam montis Seir usque Cadesbarne

It is eleven days journey from Horeb by the way of mount Seir to Kadesh-barnea.

3 quadragesimo anno undecimo mense prima die mensis locutus est Moses ad filios Israhel omnia quae praeceperat illi Dominus ut diceret eis

And it came to pass in the fortieth year, in the eleventh month, on the first day of the month, that Moses spoke to the sons of Israel, according to all that Jehovah had given him in commandment to them,

4 postquam percussit Seon regem Amorreorum qui habitavit in Esebon et Og regem Basan qui mansit in Aseroth et in Edrai

after he had smitten Sihon the king of the Amorites, who dwelt in Heshbon, and Og the king of Bashan, who dwelt in Ashtaroth, at Edrei.

5 trans Iordanem in terra Moab coepitque Moses explanare legem et dicere

Beyond the Jordan, in the land of Moab, Moses began to declare this law, saying,

6 Dominus Deus noster locutus est ad nos in Horeb dicens sufficit vobis quod in hoc monte mansistis

Jehovah our God spoke to us in Horeb, saying, Ye have dwelt long enough at this mountain.

7 revertimini et venite ad montem Amorreorum et ad cetera quae ei proxima sunt campestria atque montana et humiliora loca contra meridiem et iuxta litus maris terram Chananeorum et Libani usque ad flumen magnum Eufraten

Turn, and take your journey, and go to the hill-country of the Amorites, and to all the places near thereto, in the Arabah, in the hill-country, and in the lowland, and in the South, and by the sea-shore, the land of the Canaanites, and Lebanon, as far as the great river, the river Euphrates.

8 en inquit tradidi vobis ingredimini et possidete eam super qua iuravit Dominus patribus vestris Abraham et Isaac et Iacob ut daret illam eis et semini eorum post eos

Behold, I have set the land before you. Go in and possess the land which Jehovah swore to your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give to them and to their seed after them.

9 dixique vobis illo in tempore

And I spoke to you at that time, saying, I am not able to bear you myself alone.

10 non possum solus sustinere vos quia Dominus Deus vester multiplicavit vos et estis hodie sicut stellae caeli plurimae

Jehovah your God has multiplied you, and, behold, ye are this day as the stars of heaven for multitude.

11 Dominus Deus patrum vestrorum addat ad hunc numerum multa milia et benedicat vobis sicut locutus est

Jehovah, the God of your fathers, make you a thousand times as many as ye are, and bless you, as he has promised you!

12 non valeo solus vestra negotia sustinere et pondus ac iurgia

How can I myself alone bear your encumbrance, and your burden, and your strife?

13 date e vobis viros sapientes et gnaros et quorum conversatio sit probata in tribubus vestris ut ponam eos vobis principes

Take for you wise men, and understanding, and known, according to your tribes, and I will make them heads over you.

14 tunc respondistis mihi bona res est quam vis facere

And ye answered me, and said, The thing which thou have spoken is good to do.

15 tulique de tribubus vestris viros sapientes et nobiles et constitui eos principes tribunos et centuriones et quinquagenarios ac decanos qui docerent vos singula

So I took the heads of your tribes, wise men, and known, and made them heads over you, captains of thousands, and captains of hundreds, and captains of fifties, and captains of tens, and officers, according to your tribes.

16 praecepique eis dicens audite illos et quod iustum est iudicate sive civis sit ille sive peregrinus

And I charged your judges at that time, saying, Hear between your brothers, and judge righteously between a man and his brother, and the sojourner who is with him.

17 nulla erit distantia personarum ita parvum audietis ut magnum nec accipietis cuiusquam personam quia Dei iudicium est quod si difficile vobis aliquid visum fuerit referte ad me et ego audiam

Ye shall not respect persons in judgment. Ye shall hear the small and the great alike. Ye shall not be afraid of the face of man, for the judgment is God's. And the case that is too hard for you ye shall bring to me, and I will hear it.

18 praecepique omnia quae facere deberetis

And I commanded you at that time all the things which ye should do.

19 profecti autem de Horeb transivimus per heremum terribilem et maximam quam vidistis per viam montis Amorrei sicut praeceperat Dominus Deus noster nobis cumque venissemus in Cadesbarne

And we journeyed from Horeb, and went through all that great and terrible wilderness which ye saw, by the way to the hill-country of the Amorites, as Jehovah our God commanded us, and we came to Kadesh-barnea.

20 dixi vobis venistis ad montem Amorrei quem Dominus Deus noster daturus est nobis

And I said to you, Ye have come to the hill-country of the Amorites, which Jehovah our God gives to us.

21 vide terram quam Dominus Deus tuus dat tibi ascende et posside eam sicut locutus est Dominus Deus patribus tuis noli metuere nec quicquam paveas

Behold, Jehovah thy God has set the land before thee. Go up, take possession, as Jehovah, the God of thy fathers, has spoken to thee. Fear not, neither be dismayed.

22 et accessistis ad me omnes atque dixistis mittamus viros qui considerent terram et renuntient per quod iter debeamus ascendere et ad quas pergere civitates

And ye came near to me, all of you, and said, Let us send men before us, that they may search the land for us, and bring us word again of the way by which we must go up, and the cities to which we shall come.

23 cumque mihi sermo placuisset misi e vobis duodecim viros singulos de tribubus suis

And the thing pleased me well. And I took twelve men of you, one man for every tribe.

24 qui cum perrexissent et ascendissent in montana venerunt usque ad vallem Botri et considerata terra

And they turned and went up into the hill-country, and came to the valley of Eshcol, and spied it out.

25 sumentes de fructibus eius ut ostenderent ubertatem adtulerunt ad nos atque dixerunt bona est terra quam Dominus Deus noster daturus est nobis

And they took of the fruit of the land in their hands, and brought it down to us, and brought us word again, and said, It is a good land which Jehovah our God gives to us.

26 et noluistis ascendere sed increduli ad sermonem Domini Dei nostri

Yet ye would not go up, but rebelled against the commandment of Jehovah your God.

27 murmurati estis in tabernaculis vestris atque dixistis odit nos Dominus et idcirco eduxit nos de terra Aegypti ut traderet in manu Amorrei atque deleret

And ye murmured in your tents, and said, Because Jehovah hated us, he has brought us forth out of the land of Egypt, to deliver us into the hand of the Amorites, to destroy us.

28 quo ascendemus nuntii terruerunt cor nostrum dicentes maxima multitudo est et nobis in statura procerior urbes magnae et ad caelum usque munitae filios Enacim vidimus ibi

Where are we going up? Our brothers have made our heart to melt, saying, The people are greater and taller than we. The cities are great and fortified up to heaven, and moreover we have seen the sons of the Anakim there.

29 et dixi vobis nolite metuere nec timeatis eos

Then I said to you, Dread not, neither be afraid of them.

30 Dominus Deus qui ductor est vester pro vobis ipse pugnabit sicut fecit in Aegypto videntibus cunctis

Jehovah your God who goes before you, he will fight for you, according to all that he did for you in Egypt before your eyes,

31 et in solitudine ipse vidisti portavit te Dominus Deus tuus ut solet homo gestare parvulum filium suum in omni via per quam ambulasti donec veniretis ad locum istum

and in the wilderness, where thou have seen how that Jehovah thy God bore thee, as a man bears his son, in all the way that ye went, until ye came to this place.

32 et nec sic quidem credidistis Domino Deo vestro

Yet in this thing ye did not believe Jehovah your God,

33 qui praecessit vos in via et metatus est locum in quo tentoria figere deberetis nocte ostendens vobis iter per ignem et die per columnam nubis

who went before you in the way, to seek out a place for you to pitch your tents in, in fire by night, to show you by what way ye should go, and in the cloud by day.

34 cumque audisset Dominus vocem sermonum vestrorum iratus iuravit et ait

And Jehovah heard the voice of your words, and was angry, and swore, saying,

35 non videbit quispiam de hominibus generationis huius pessimae terram bonam quam sub iuramento pollicitus sum patribus vestris

Surely there shall not one of these men of this evil generation see the good land, which I swore to give to your fathers,

36 praeter Chaleb filium Iepphonne ipse enim videbit eam et ipsi dabo terram quam calcavit et filiis eius quia secutus est Dominum

except Caleb the son of Jephunneh. He shall see it, and I will give to him the land that he has trodden upon, and to his sons, because he has wholly followed Jehovah.

37 nec miranda indignatio in populum cum mihi quoque iratus Dominus propter vos dixerit nec tu ingredieris illuc

Also Jehovah was angry with me for your sakes, saying, Thou also shall not go in there.

38 sed Iosue filius Nun minister tuus ipse intrabit pro te hunc exhortare et robora et ipse terram sorte dividat Israheli

Joshua the son of Nun, who stands before thee, he shall go in there. Encourage thou him, for he shall cause Israel to inherit it.

39 parvuli vestri de quibus dixistis quod captivi ducerentur et filii qui hodie boni ac mali ignorant distantiam ipsi ingredientur et ipsis dabo terram et possidebunt eam

Moreover your little ones, who ye said would be a prey, and your sons, who this day have no knowledge of good or evil, they shall go in there, and I will give it to them, and they shall possess it.

40 vos autem revertimini et abite in solitudinem per viam maris Rubri

But as for you, turn, and take your journey into the wilderness by the way to the Red Sea.

41 et respondistis mihi peccavimus Domino ascendemus atque pugnabimus sicut praecepit Dominus Deus noster cumque instructi armis pergeretis in montem

Then ye answered and said to me, We have sinned against Jehovah, we will go up and fight according to all that Jehovah our God commanded us. And ye girded on every man his weapons of war, and were forward to go up into the hill-country.

42 ait mihi Dominus dic ad eos nolite ascendere neque pugnetis non enim sum vobiscum ne cadatis coram inimicis vestris

And Jehovah said to me, Say to them, Do not go up, neither fight, for I am not among you, lest ye be smitten before your enemies.

43 locutus sum et non audistis sed adversantes imperio Domini et tumentes superbia ascendistis in montem

So I spoke to you, and ye did not hearken, but ye rebelled against the commandment of Jehovah, and were presumptuous, and went up into the hill-country.

44 itaque egressus Amorreus qui habitabat in montibus et obviam veniens persecutus est vos sicut solent apes persequi et cecidit de Seir usque Horma

And the Amorites, who dwelt in that hill-country, came out against you, and chased you, as bees do, and beat you down in Seir, even to Hormah.

45 cumque reversi ploraretis coram Domino non audivit vos nec voci vestrae voluit adquiescere

And ye returned and wept before Jehovah, but Jehovah did not hearken to your voice, nor gave ear to you.

46 sedistis ergo in Cadesbarne multo tempore

So ye abode in Kadesh many days, according to the days that ye abode there.
