Leviticus 26

1 ego Dominus Deus vester non facietis vobis idolum et sculptile nec titulos erigetis nec insignem lapidem ponetis in terra vestra ut adoretis eum ego enim sum Dominus Deus vester

I am the Lord your God. You shall not make for yourselves an idol or a graven image. Neither shall you erect a monument, or set up a conspicuous stone in your land, in order that you may adore it. For I am the Lord your God.

2 custodite sabbata mea et pavete ad sanctuarium meum ego Dominus

Observe my Sabbaths, and be fearful toward my Sanctuary. I am the Lord.

3 si in praeceptis meis ambulaveritis et mandata mea custodieritis et feceritis ea dabo vobis pluvias temporibus suis

If you will walk in my precepts, and observe my commandments, and accomplish them, I will give to you rain in its time,

4 et terra gignet germen suum et pomis arbores replebuntur

and the ground shall bring forth its seedlings, and the trees shall be filled again with fruit.

5 adprehendet messium tritura vindemiam et vindemia occupabit sementem et comedetis panem vestrum in saturitatem et absque pavore habitabitis in terra vestra

The threshing of the harvest shall last until the vintage, and the vintage shall overtake the sowing. And you shall eat your bread to fullness, and you shall live in your land without fear.

6 dabo pacem in finibus vestris dormietis et non erit qui exterreat auferam malas bestias et gladius non transibit terminos vestros

I will give peace to your most distant regions. You will sleep, and there will be no one to strike you with terror. I will take away harmful wild beasts, and the sword will not cross your borders.

7 persequemini inimicos vestros et corruent coram vobis

You will pursue your enemies, and they will fall down at the sight of you.

8 persequentur quinque de vestris centum alienos et centum ex vobis decem milia cadent inimici vestri in conspectu vestro gladio

Five of yours will pursue a hundred foreigners, and a hundred of you will pursue ten thousand. Your enemies will fall by the sword in your sight.

9 respiciam vos et crescere faciam multiplicabimini et firmabo pactum meum vobiscum

I will look with favor upon you, and I will cause you to increase; you will be multiplied, and I will confirm my covenant with you.

10 comedetis vetustissima veterum et vetera novis supervenientibus proicietis

You will eat the oldest of what is old, and, when what is new arrives, you will throw away what is old.

11 ponam tabernaculum meum in medio vestri et non abiciet vos anima mea

I will set my tabernacle in your midst, and my soul will not cast you out.

12 ambulabo inter vos et ero vester Deus vosque eritis populus meus

I will walk among you, and I will be your God, and you shall be my people.

13 ego Dominus Deus vester qui eduxi vos de terra Aegyptiorum ne serviretis eis et qui confregi catenas cervicum vestrarum ut incederetis erecti

I am the Lord your God, who led you away from the land of the Egyptians, lest you serve them, and who broke the chains around your necks, so that you would walk upright.

14 quod si non audieritis me nec feceritis omnia mandata mea

But if you will not listen to me, nor accomplish all of my commandments,

15 si spreveritis leges meas et iudicia mea contempseritis ut non faciatis ea quae a me constituta sunt et ad irritum perducatis pactum meum

if you despise my laws, and disdain my judgments, so that you do not accomplish those things which have been established by me, and so that you lead my covenant away into nullification,

16 ego quoque haec faciam vobis visitabo vos velociter in egestate et ardore qui conficiat oculos vestros et consumat animas frustra seretis sementem quae ab hostibus devorabitur

then I also will do these things to you. I will quickly visit you with destitution, and burning heat, which will waste away your eyes, and consume your lives. In vain will you sow your seed, which will be devoured by your enemies.

17 ponam faciem meam contra vos et corruetis coram hostibus vestris et subiciemini his qui oderunt vos fugietis nemine persequente

I will set my face against you, and you will fall down before your enemies, and you will be subjugated to those who hate you. You will flee, though no one pursues.

18 sin autem nec sic oboedieritis mihi addam correptiones vestras septuplum propter peccata vestra

But if you will not be obedient to me in this way, then I will add sevenfold to your chastisement, because of your sins.

19 et conteram superbiam duritiae vestrae daboque caelum vobis desuper sicut ferrum et terram aeneam

And I will crush the pride in your hardness, and I will give to you heaven above like iron, and the earth below like brass.

20 consumetur in cassum labor vester non proferet terra germen nec arbores poma praebebunt

Your labor will be consumed to no purpose; the land will not bring forth seedlings, nor will the trees provide their fruit.

21 si ambulaveritis ex adverso mihi nec volueritis audire me addam plagas vestras usque in septuplum propter peccata vestra

If you walk as an adversary to me, and if you are not willing to listen to me, I will add sevenfold to your plagues, because of your sins.

22 emittamque in vos bestias agri quae consumant et vos et pecora vestra et ad paucitatem cuncta redigant desertaeque fiant viae vestrae

And I will send upon you the wild beasts of the field, which will consume you and your cattle, and which will reduce everything to paucity, and cause your roadways to become desolate.

23 quod si nec sic volueritis recipere disciplinam sed ambulaveritis ex adverso mihi

But if you are not willing to receive discipline in this way, and you still walk as an adversary to me,

24 ego quoque contra vos adversus incedam et percutiam vos septies propter peccata vestra

likewise, I will advance against you as an adversary, and I will strike you seven times, because of your sins.

25 inducamque super vos gladium ultorem foederis mei cumque confugeritis in urbes mittam pestilentiam in medio vestri et trademini hostium manibus

And I will lead over you the sword that shall avenge my covenant. And when you will have fled into the cities, I will send a pestilence into your midst, and you will be delivered into the hands of your enemies.

26 postquam confregero baculum panis vestri ita ut decem mulieres in uno clibano coquant panes et reddant eos ad pondus et comedetis et non saturabimini

After this, I will have broken the staff of your bread, so that ten women bake bread in one oven, and distribute it by weight. And you shall eat and not be filled.

27 sin autem nec per haec audieritis me sed ambulaveritis contra me

Then, if you will not listen to me through these things, and you still walk against me,

28 et ego incedam adversum vos in furore contrario et corripiam vos septem plagis propter peccata vestra

then I also will advance against you, with an opposing fury, and I will chastise you with seven plagues, because of your sins:

29 ita ut comedatis carnes filiorum et filiarum vestrarum

so much so that you will eat the flesh of your sons and your daughters.

30 destruam excelsa vestra et simulacra confringam cadetis inter ruinas idolorum vestrorum et abominabitur vos anima mea

I will destroy your high places, and I will break apart your false images. You will fall among the ruins of your idols, and my soul will abominate you:

31 in tantum ut urbes vestras redigam in solitudinem et deserta faciam sanctuaria vestra nec recipiam ultra odorem suavissimum

so much so that I will reduce your cities to a wilderness, and I will make your Sanctuaries desolate, and I will no longer accept the most sweet odors.

32 disperdamque terram vestram et stupebunt super ea inimici vestri cum habitatores illius fuerint

And I will utterly ruin your land, and your enemies shall be stupefied at it, when they will have become its inhabitants.

33 vos autem dispergam in gentes et evaginabo post vos gladium eritque terra vestra deserta et civitates dirutae

Then I will scatter you among the Gentiles, and I will unsheathe the sword after you. And your land will be deserted, and your cities will be demolished.

34 tunc placebunt terrae sabbata sua cunctis diebus solitudinis suae quando fueritis

Then the land will be pleased by her Sabbaths, throughout all the days of her solitude. So, while you will be

35 in terra hostili sabbatizabit et requiescet in sabbatis solitudinis suae eo quod non requieverit in sabbatis vestris quando habitabatis in ea

in the land of the enemy, she will worship and rest in the Sabbath of her solitude, because she will not have rested in your Sabbaths, when you lived in her.

36 et qui de vobis remanserint dabo pavorem in cordibus eorum in regionibus hostium terrebit eos sonitus folii volantis et ita fugient quasi gladium cadent nullo sequente

And whoever of you will remain, I will send terror into their hearts in the regions of their enemies. The sound of a flying leaf will terrify them, and so they will flee, as if from the sword. They will fall, though no one pursues.

37 et corruent singuli super fratres suos quasi bella fugientes nemo vestrum inimicis audebit resistere

And they will each fall upon their brothers, as if they were fleeing from wars; no one among you will dare to resist your foes.

38 peribitis inter gentes et hostilis vos terra consumet

You will perish among the Gentiles, and the land of the enemy will consume you.

39 quod si et de his aliqui remanserint tabescent in iniquitatibus suis in terra inimicorum suorum et propter peccata patrum suorum et sua adfligentur

But if some few of these still remain, they shall waste away in their iniquities, in the land of their enemies, and they will be afflicted, because of the sins of their fathers and their own sins,

40 donec confiteantur iniquitates suas et maiorum suorum quibus praevaricati sunt in me et ambulaverunt ex adverso mihi

until they confess their iniquities, and those of their ancestors, by which they have transgressed against me and walked as adversaries to me.

41 ambulabo igitur et ego contra eos et inducam illos in terram hostilem donec erubescat incircumcisa mens eorum tunc orabunt pro impietatibus suis

Therefore, I also will walk against them, and I will lead them into a hostile land, until their uncircumcised mind shall be ashamed. Then shall they pray on behalf of their impiety.

42 et recordabor foederis mei quod pepigi cum Iacob et Isaac et Abraham terrae quoque memor ero

And I will remember my covenant, which I formed with Jacob, and Isaac, and Abraham. I will also remember the land,

43 quae cum relicta fuerit ab eis conplacebit sibi in sabbatis suis patiens solitudinem propter illos ipsi vero rogabunt pro peccatis suis eo quod abiecerint iudicia mea et leges meas despexerint

which, when she will be left behind by them, shall be pleased by her Sabbaths, enduring solitude because of them. Yet truly, they shall pray for their sins, because they cast aside my judgments, and they despised my laws.

44 et tamen etiam cum essent in terra hostili non penitus abieci eos neque sic despexi ut consumerentur et irritum facerem pactum meum cum eis ego enim sum Dominus Deus eorum

And even after so much, when they were in the land of their enemy, I did not cast them off entirely, and I did not so despise them that they would be consumed, nor so that I would nullify my covenant with them. For I am the Lord their God.

45 et recordabor foederis mei pristini quando eduxi eos de terra Aegypti in conspectu gentium ut essem Deus eorum ego Dominus Deus

And I will remember my original covenant, when I led them away from the land of Egypt, in the sight of the Gentiles, so as to be their God. I am the Lord.

46 haec sunt praecepta atque iudicia et leges quas dedit Dominus inter se et inter filios Israhel in monte Sinai per manum Mosi

These are the judgments, and precepts, and laws, which the Lord has granted between himself and the sons of Israel, on mount Sinai, by the hand of Moses.
