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

'Ye do not make to yourselves idols; and graven image or standing image ye do not set up to yourselves; and a stone of imagery ye do not put in your land, to bow yourselves to it; for I [am] Jehovah your God.

2 custodite sabbata mea et pavete ad sanctuarium meum ego Dominus

'My sabbaths ye do keep, and My sanctuary ye do reverence; I [am] Jehovah.

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

'If in My statutes ye walk, and My commands ye keep, and have done them,

4 et terra gignet germen suum et pomis arbores replebuntur

then I have given your rains in their season, and the land hath given her produce, and the tree of the field doth give its fruit;

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

and reached to you hath the threshing, the gathering, and the gathering doth reach the sowing -[time]; and ye have eaten your bread to satiety, and have dwelt confidently in your land.

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

'And I have given peace in the land, and ye have lain down, and there is none causing trembling; and I have caused evil beasts to cease out of the land, and the sword doth not pass over into your land.

7 persequemini inimicos vestros et corruent coram vobis

'And ye have pursued your enemies, and they have fallen before you by the sword;

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

and five of you have pursued a hundred, and a hundred of you do pursue a myriad; and your enemies have fallen before you by the sword.

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

'And I have turned unto you, and have made you fruitful, and have multiplied you, and have established My covenant with you;

10 comedetis vetustissima veterum et vetera novis supervenientibus proicietis

and ye have eaten old [store], and the old because of the new ye bring out.

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

'And I have given My tabernacle in your midst, and My soul doth not loathe you;

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

and I have walked habitually in your midst, and have become your God, and ye — ye are become 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] Jehovah your God, who have brought you out of the land of the Egyptians, from being their servants; and I break the bars of your yoke, and cause you to go erect.

14 quod si non audieritis me nec feceritis omnia mandata mea

'And if ye do not hearken to Me, and do not all these commands;

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

and if at My statutes ye kick, and if My judgments your soul loathe, so as not to do all My commands — to your breaking My covenant —

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

I also do this to you, and I have appointed over you trouble, the consumption, and the burning fever, consuming eyes, and causing pain of soul; and your seed in vain ye have sowed, and your enemies have eaten it;

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

and I have set My face against you, and ye have been smitten before your enemies; and those hating you have ruled over you, and ye have fled, and there is none pursuing you.

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

'And if unto these ye hearken not to Me, — then I have added to chastise you seven times for your sins;

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

and I have broken the pride of your strength, and have made your heavens as iron, and your earth as brass;

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

and consumed hath been your strength in vain, and your land doth not give her produce, and the tree of the land doth not give its fruit.

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

'And if ye walk with Me [in] opposition, and are not willing to hearken to Me, then I have added to you a plague seven times, according to 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 sent against you the beast of the field, and it hath bereaved you; and I have cut off your cattle, and have made you few, and your ways have been desolate.

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

'And if by these ye are not instructed by Me, and have walked with Me [in] opposition,

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

then I have walked — I also — with you in opposition, and have smitten you, even I, seven times for 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 have brought in on you a sword, executing the vengeance of a covenant; and ye have been gathered unto your cities, and I have sent pestilence into your midst, and ye have been given into the hand of an enemy.

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

'In My breaking to you the staff of bread, then ten women have baked your bread in one oven, and have given back your bread by weight; and ye have eaten, and are not satisfied.

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

'And if for this ye hearken not to Me, and have walked with Me in opposition,

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

then I have walked with you in the fury of opposition, and have chastised you, even I, seven times for your sins.

29 ita ut comedatis carnes filiorum et filiarum vestrarum

'And ye have eaten the flesh of your sons; even flesh of your daughters ye do eat.

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

And I have destroyed your high places, and cut down your images, and have put your carcases on the carcases of your idols, and My soul hath loathed you;

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

and I have made your cities a waste, and have made desolate your sanctuaries, and I smell not at your sweet fragrances;

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

and I have made desolate the land, and your enemies, who are dwelling in it, have been astonished at it.

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

And you I scatter among nations, and have drawn out after you a sword, and your land hath been a desolation, and your cities are a waste.

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

'Then doth the land enjoy its sabbaths — all the days of the desolation, and ye in the land of your enemies — then doth the land rest, and hath enjoyed its sabbaths;

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

all the days of the desolation it resteth that which it hath not rested in your sabbaths in your dwelling on it.

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 those who are left of you — I have also brought a faintness into their heart in the lands of their enemies, and the sound of a leaf driven away hath pursued them, and they have fled — flight from a sword — and they have fallen, and there is none pursuing.

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

And they have stumbled one on another, as from the face of a sword, and there is none pursuing, and ye have no standing before your enemies,

38 peribitis inter gentes et hostilis vos terra consumet

and ye have perished among the nations, and the land of your enemies hath consumed 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

'And those who are left of you — they consume away in their iniquity, in the lands of your enemies; and also in the iniquities of their fathers, with them they consume away.

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

'And — they have confessed their iniquity, and the iniquity of their fathers, in their trespass which they have trespassed against Me, and also, that they have walked with Me, in opposition,

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

also I walk to them in opposition, and have brought them into the land of their enemies — or then their uncircumcised heart is humbled, and then they accept the punishment of their iniquity, —

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

then I have remembered My covenant [with] Jacob, and also My covenant [with] Isaac, and also My covenant [with] Abraham I remember, and the land I remember.

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

'And — the land is left of them, and doth enjoy its sabbaths, in the desolation without them, and they accept the punishment of their iniquity, because, even because, against My judgments they have kicked, and My statutes hath their soul loathed,

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 also even this, in their being in the land of their enemies, I have not rejected them, nor have I loathed them, to consume them, to break My covenant with them; for I [am] Jehovah their God; —

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

then I have remembered for them the covenant of the ancestors, whom I brought forth out of the land of Egypt before the eyes of the nations to become their God; I [am] Jehovah.'

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 statutes, and the judgments, and the laws, which Jehovah hath given between Him and the sons of Israel, in mount Sinai, by the hand of Moses.
