Deuteronomy 29
1 These are the words of the covenant, which the LORD commanded Moses to make with the children of Israel in the land of Moab, beside the covenant which he made with them in Horeb.
Hæc sunt verba fœderis quod præcepit Dominus Moysi ut feriret cum filiis Israel in Terra Moab: præter illud fœdus, quod cum eis pepigit in Horeb.
2 And Moses called unto all Israel, and said unto them, All of you have seen all that the LORD did before your eyes in the land of Egypt unto Pharaoh, and unto all his servants, and unto all his land;
Vocavitque Moyses omnem Israel, et dixit ad eos: Vos vidistis universa, quæ fecit Dominus coram vobis in Terra Ægypti Pharaoni, et omnibus servis eius, universæque terræ illius,
3 The great temptations which your eyes have seen, the signs, and those great miracles:
tentationes magnas, quas viderunt oculi tui, signa illa, portentaque ingentia,
4 Yet the LORD has not given you an heart to perceive, and eyes to see, and ears to hear, unto this day.
et non dedit vobis Dominus cor intelligens, et oculos videntes, et aures quæ possunt audire, usque in præsentem diem.
5 And I have led you forty years in the wilderness: your clothes are not becoming old upon you, and your shoe is not becoming old upon your foot.
Adduxit vos quadraginta annis per desertum: non sunt attrita vestimenta vestra, nec calceamenta pedum vestrorum vetustate consumpta sunt.
6 All of you have not eaten bread, neither have all of you drunk wine or strong drink: that all of you might know that I am the LORD your God.
Panem non comedistis, vinum et siceram non bibistis: ut sciretis quia ego sum Dominus Deus vester.
7 And when all of you came unto this place, Sihon the king of Heshbon, and Og the king of Bashan, came out against us unto battle, and we stroke them:
Et venistis ad hunc locum: egressusque est Sehon rex Hesebon, et Og rex Basan, occurrentes nobis ad pugnam. Et percussimus eos,
8 And we took their land, and gave it for an inheritance unto the Reubenites, and to the Gadites, and to the half tribe of Manasseh.
et tulimus terram eorum, ac tradidimus possidendam Ruben et Gad, et dimidiæ tribui Manasse.
9 Keep therefore the words of this covenant, and do them, that all of you may prosper in all that all of you do.
Custodite ergo verba pacti huius, et implete ea: ut intelligatis universa quæ facitis.
10 All of you stand this day all of you before the LORD your God; your captains of your tribes, your elders, and your officers, with all the men of Israel,
Vos statis hodie cuncti coram Domino Deo vestro, principes vestri, et tribus, ac maiores natu, atque doctores, omnis populus Israel,
11 Your little ones, your wives, and your stranger that is in your camp, from the hewer of your wood unto the drawer of your water:
liberi et uxores vestræ, et advena qui tecum moratur in castris, exceptis lignorum cæsoribus, et his, qui comportant aquas:
12 That you should enter into covenant with the LORD your God, and into his oath, which the LORD your God makes with you this day:
ut transeas in fœdere Domini Dei tui, et in iureiurando quod hodie Dominus Deus tuus percutit tecum:
13 That he may establish you to day for a people unto himself, and that he may be unto you a God, as he has said unto you, and as he has sworn unto your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob.
ut suscitet te sibi in populum, et ipse sit Deus tuus sicut locutus est tibi, et sicut iuravit patribus tuis, Abraham, Isaac, et Iacob.
14 Neither with you only do I make this covenant and this oath;
Nec vobis solis ego hoc fœdus ferio, et hæc iuramenta confirmo,
15 But with him that stands here with us this day before the LORD our God, and also with him that is not here with us this day:
sed cunctis præsentibus et absentibus.
16 (For all of you know how we have dwelt in the land of Egypt; and how we came through the nations which all of you passed by;
Vos enim nostis quomodo habitaverimus in Terra Ægypti, et quo modo transierimus per medium nationum, quas transeuntes
17 And all of you have seen their abominations, and their idols, wood and stone, silver and gold, which were among them: )
vidistis abominationes et sordes, id est, idola eorum, lignum et lapidem, argentum et aurum, quæ colebant.
18 Lest there should be among you man, or woman, or family, or tribe, whose heart turns away this day from the LORD our God, to go and serve the gods of these nations; lest there should be among you a root that bears gall and wormwood;
Ne forte sit inter vos vir aut mulier, familia aut tribus, cuius cor aversum est hodie a Domino Deo nostro: ut vadat et serviat diis illarum Gentium: et sit inter vos radix germinans fel et amaritudinem.
19 And it come to pass, when he hears the words of this curse, that he bless himself in his heart, saying, I shall have peace, though I walk in the imagination of mine heart, to add drunkenness to thirst:
Cumque audierit verba iuramenti huius, benedicat sibi in corde suo, dicens: Pax erit mihi, et ambulabo in pravitate cordis mei: et absumat ebria sitientem,
20 The LORD will not spare him, but then the anger of the LORD and his jealousy shall smoke against that man, and all the curses that are written in this book shall lie upon him, and the LORD shall blot out his name from under heaven.
et Dominus non ignoscat ei: sed tunc quammaxime furor eius fumet, et zelus contra hominem illum, et sedeant super eum omnia maledicta, quæ scripta sunt in hoc volumine: et deleat Dominus nomen eius sub cælo,
21 And the LORD shall separate him unto evil out of all the tribes of Israel, according to all the curses of the covenant that are written in this book of the law:
et consumat eum in perditionem ex omnibus tribubus Israel, iuxta maledictiones, quæ in Libro legis huius ac fœderis continentur.
22 So that the generation to come of your children that shall rise up after you, and the stranger that shall come from a far land, shall say, when they see the plagues of that land, and the sicknesses which the LORD has laid upon it;
Dicetque sequens generatio, et filii qui nascentur deinceps, et peregrini, qui de longe venerint, videntes plagas Terræ illius, et infirmitates, quibus eam afflixerit Dominus,
23 And that the whole land thereof is brimstone, and salt, and burning, that it is not sown, nor bears, nor any grass grows therein, like the overthrow of Sodom, and Gomorrah, Admah, and Zeboim, which the LORD overthrew in his anger, and in his wrath:
sulphure, et salis ardore comburens, ita ut ultra non seratur, nec virens quippiam germinet, in exemplum subversionis Sodomæ et Gomorrhæ, Adamæ et Seboim, quas subvertit Dominus in ira et furore suo.
24 Even all nations shall say, Wherefore has the LORD done thus unto this land? what means the heat of this great anger?
Et dicent omnes Gentes: Quare sic fecit Dominus Terræ huic? quæ est hæc ira furoris eius immensa?
25 Then men shall say, Because they have forsaken the covenant of the LORD God of their fathers, which he made with them when he brought them forth out of the land of Egypt:
Et respondebunt: Quia dereliquerunt pactum Domini, quod pepigit cum patribus eorum, quando eduxit eos de Terra Ægypti:
26 For they went and served other gods, and worshipped them, gods whom they knew not, and whom he had not given unto them:
et servierunt diis alienis, et adoraverunt eos, quos nesciebant, et quibus non fuerant attributi:
27 And the anger of the LORD was kindled against this land, to bring upon it all the curses that are written in this book:
idcirco iratus est furor Domini contra Terram istam, ut induceret super eam omnia maledicta, quæ in hoc volumine scripta sunt:
28 And the LORD rooted them out of their land in anger, and in wrath, and in great indignation, and cast them into another land, as it is this day.
et eiecit eos de terra sua in ira et in furore, et in indignatione maxima, proiecitque in terram alienam, sicut hodie comprobatur.
29 The secret things belong unto the LORD our God: but those things which are revealed belong unto us and to our children for ever, that we may do all the words of this law.
Abscondita, Domino Deo nostro: quæ manifesta sunt, nobis et filiis nostris usque in sempiternum, ut faciamus universa verba legis huius.
