Liber Deuteronomii

Non immolabis Domino Deo tuo ovem, et bovem, in quo est macula, aut quippiam vitii: quia abominatio est Domino Deo tuo.

Thou shalt not sacrifice to the Lord thy God a sheep, or an ox, wherein there is blemish, or any fault: for that is an abomination to the Lord thy God.

Non immola ad Domino ad Deo tuo ove, et bove, in quo es macula, aut ullo de vitio: quia abominatione es ad Domino ad Deo tuo.

Cum reperti fuerint apud te intra unam portarum tuarum, quas Dominus Deus tuus dabit tibi, vir aut mulier qui faciant malum in conspectu Domini Dei tui, et transgrediantur pactum illius,

When there shall be found among you within any of thy gates, which the Lord thy God shall give thee, man or woman that do evil in the sight of the Lord thy God, and transgress his covenant,

Cum reperi es apud te intra uno de portas tuo, Domino Deo tuo i da que ad te, viro aut muliere qui fac malo in conspectu de Domino de Deo tuo, et transgredior paciscor de illo,

ut vadant et servant diis alienis, et adorent eos, solem et lunam, et omnem militiam cæli, quæ non præcepi:

So as to go and serve strange gods, and adore them, the sun and the moon, and all the host of heaven, which I have not commanded:

Ut vade et serva ad dies aliena, et adora illos, sole et luna, et omni militia de caelo, que non praecipie:

et hoc tibi fuerit nuntiatum, audiensque inquisieris diligenter et verum esse repereris, et abominatio facta est in Israël:

And this is told thee, and hearing it thou hast inquired diligently, and found it to be true, and that the abomination is committed in Israel:

Et hoc ad te es nuntia, et audiente dic diligenter et verissimo es reperi, et abominatione facto es in Israële:

educes virum ac mulierem, qui rem sceleratissimam perpetrarunt, ad portas civitatis tuæ, et lapidibus obruentur.

Thou shalt bring forth the man or the woman, who have committed that most wicked thing, to the gates of thy city, and they shall be stoned.

Educe viro et muliere, qui perpetra re scelerato, ad portas de civitate tuo, et lapides obrue.

In ore duorum aut trium testium peribit qui interficietur. Nemo occidatur, uno contra se dicente testimonium.

By the mouth of two or three witnesses shall he die that is to be slain. Let no man be put to death, when only one beareth witness against him.

In ore duo aut de tre de teste peri qui interfice. Nemo occide, uno contra se dic testimonio.

Manus testium prima interficiet eum, et manus reliqui populi extrema mittetur: ut auferas malum de medio tui.

The hands of the witnesses shall be first upon him to kill him, and afterwards the hands of the rest of the people: that thou mayst take away the evil out of the midst of thee.

Manus de testes primo interfice illo, et manus relinque de populo extremo mitte: ut aufer malo de medio tuo.

Si difficile et ambiguum apud te judicium esse perspexeris inter sanguinem et sanguinem, causam et causam, lepram et lepram: et judicum intra portas tuas videris verba variari: surge, et ascende ad locum, quem elegerit Dominus Deus tuus.

If thou perceive that there be among you a hard and doubtful matter in judgment between blood and blood, cause and cause, leprosy and leprosy: and thou see that the words of the judges within thy gates do vary: arise, and go up to the place, which the Lord thy God shall choose.

Si difficile et ambigo apud te iudicio es perspicie inter sanguine et sanguine, causa et causa, lepra et lepra: et de iudices intra portas tuo vide verbos varia: surge, et ascende ad loco, Domino Deo tuo elige quem.

Veniesque ad sacerdotes Levitici generis, et ad judicem qui fuerit illo tempore: quæresque ab eis, qui indicabunt tibi judicii veritatem.

And thou shalt come to the priests of the Levitical race, and to the judge, that shall be at that time: and thou shalt ask of them, and they shall shew thee the truth of the judgment.

Et veni ad sacerdotes de Levitici de genere, et ad iudice qui es illo tempore: et quaere ab illos, qui indica ad te de iudicio veritate.

Et facies quodcumque dixerint qui præsunt loco quem elegerit Dominus, et docuerint te

And thou shalt do whatsoever they shall say, that preside in the place, which the Lord shall choose, and what they shall teach thee,

Et qui praesume loco quem elige Domino Domino elige quem, et doce te

juxta legem ejus, sequerisque sententiam eorum, nec declinabis ad dexteram neque ad sinistram.

According to his law; and thou shalt follow their sentence: neither shalt thou decline to the right hand nor to the left hand.

Juxta lege de illo, et seque sententia de illos, nec declina ad dextera neque ad sinistra.

Qui autem superbierit, nolens obedire sacerdotis imperio, qui eo tempore ministrat Domino Deo tuo, et decreto judicis, morietur homo ille, et auferes malum de Israël:

But he that will be proud, and refuse to obey the commandment of the priest, who ministereth at that time to the Lord thy God, and the decree of the judge, that man shall die, and thou shalt take away the evil from Israel:

Qui autem superbiesca, ne vol obedi de sacerdote imperio, qui eo tempore ministra ad Domino ad Deo tuo, et ad decreto de iudice, homine illo more, et aufer malo de Israële:

cunctusque populus audiens timebit, ut nullus deinceps intumescat superbia.

And all the people hearing it shall fear, that no one afterwards swell with pride.

Et cuncta populo audiente time, ut nullo deinceps intumesce superbia.

Cum ingressus fueris terram, quam Dominus Deus tuus dabit tibi, et possederis eam, habitaverisque in illa, et dixeris: Constituam super me regem, sicut habent omnes per circuitum nationes:

When thou art come into the land, which the Lord thy God will give thee, and possessest it, and shalt say: I will set a king over me, as all nations have that are round about:

Cum ingredior es terra, Domino Deo tuo i da quam ad te, et posside illa, et habita in illa, et dic: constitue super me rege, sicut omni habe per circuitu nationes:

eum constitues, quem Dominus Deus tuus elegerit de numero fratrum tuorum. Non poteris alterius gentis hominem regem facere, qui non sit frater tuus.

Thou shalt set him whom the Lord thy God shall choose out of the number of thy brethren. Thou mayst not make a man of another nation king, that is not thy brother.

Illo constitue, Domino Deo tuo elige quem de numero de fratres tuo. Non pote de altero de gente homine rege facere, qui non es fratre tuo.

Cumque fuerit constitutus, non multiplicabit sibi equos, nec reducet populum in Ægyptum, equitatus numero sublevatus, præsertim cum Dominus præceperit vobis ut nequaquam amplius per eamdem viam revertamini.

And when he is made king, he shall not multiply horses to himself, nor lead back the people into Egypt, being lifted up with the number of his horsemen, especially since the Lord hath commanded you to return no more the same way.

Cumque es constitue, non multiplica ad se equos, nec reduce populo in Aegypto, de equitatu numero subleva, praesertim cum Domino praecipie ad vos ut nequaquam ample per idem via reverte.

Non habebit uxores plurimas, quæ alliciant animum ejus, neque argenti et auri immensa pondera.

He shall not have many wives, that may allure his mind, nor immense sums of silver and gold.

Non i habe uxores multo, que allicie animo de illo, neque de argento et de auro immenso pontes.

Postquam autem sederit in solio regni sui, describet sibi Deuteronomium legis hujus in volumine, accipiens exemplar a sacerdotibus Leviticæ tribus,

But after he is raised to the throne of his kingdom, he shall copy out to himself the Deuteronomy of this law in a volume, taking the copy of the priests of the Levitical tribe,

Postquam autem sede in solio de regno suo, describe ad se Deuteronio de lege de hoc in volumine, accipe exemplare ab sacerdotes Levitico tre,

et habebit secum, legetque illud omnibus diebus vitæ suæ, ut discat timere Dominum Deum suum, et custodire verba et cæremonias ejus, quæ in lege præcepta sunt.

And he shall have it with him, and shall read it all the days of his life, that he may learn to fear the Lord his God, and keep his words and ceremonies, that are commanded in the law;

Et i habe se, et lege illo ad omni dies de vita suo, ut disce time Domino Deo suo, et custodi verbos et caeremonias de illo, que in lege praecipie es.

Nec elevetur cor ejus in superbiam super fratres suos, neque declinet in partem dexteram vel sinistram, ut longo tempore regnet ipse et filii ejus super Israël.

And that his heart be not lifted up with pride over his brethren, nor decline to the right or to the left, that he and his sons may reign a long time over Israel.

Nec corde de illo eleva in superbia super fratres suo, neque declina in parte dextera vel sinistra, ut longo tempore ipso et filios de illo regna super Israële.
