Liber Deuteronomii

Hæc sunt præcepta, et cæremoniæ, atque judicia, quæ mandavit Dominus Deus vester ut docerem vos, et faciatis ea in terra, ad quam transgredimini possidendam:

These are the precepts, and ceremonies, and judgments, which the Lord your God commanded that I should teach you, and that you should do them in the land into which you pass over to possess it:

Hoc es praeceptos, et caeremonias, et iudicios, Domino Deo vestro manda que ut doce vos, et fac illa in terra, ad quam transgredior posside:

ut timeas Dominum Deum tuum, et custodias omnia mandata et præcepta ejus, quæ ego præcipio tibi, et filiis, ac nepotibus tuis, cunctis diebus vitæ tuæ, ut prolongentur dies tui.

That thou mayst fear the Lord thy God, and keep all his commandments and precepts, which I command thee, and thy sons, and thy grandsons, all the days of thy life, that thy days may be prolonged.

Ut time Domino Deo tuo, et custodi omni mandatos et praeceptos de illo, me praecipie que ad te, et ad filios, et ad nepotes tuo, cuncta dies de vita tuo, ut dies tuo prolonga.

Audi, Israël, et observa ut facias quæ præcepit tibi Dominus, et bene sit tibi, et multipliceris amplius, sicut pollicitus est Dominus Deus patrum tuorum tibi terram lacte et melle manantem.

Hear, O Israel, and observe to do the things which the Lord hath commanded thee, that it may be well with thee, and thou mayst be greatly multiplied, as the Lord the God of thy fathers hath promised thee a land flowing with milk and honey.

Audi, Israële, et observa ut fac Domino praecipie ad te que, et bene es ad te, et multiplica ample, sicut polliceor es Domino Deo de patres tuo ad te terra lacte et melle mana.

Audi, Israël: Dominus Deus noster, Dominus unus est.

Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God is one Lord.

Audi, Israële: domino Deo nostro, Domino uno es.

Diliges Dominum Deum tuum ex toto corde tuo, et ex tota anima tua, et ex tota fortitudine tua.

Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with thy whole heart, and with thy whole soul, and with thy whole strength.

Dilige Domino Deo tuo ex toto corde tuo, et ex toto anima tuo, et ex toto fortitudine tuo.

Eruntque verba hæc, quæ ego præcipio tibi hodie, in corde tuo:

And these words which I command thee this day, shall be in thy heart:

Et es verbos hoc, me praecipie que ad te hodie, in corde tuo:

et narrabis ea filiis tuis, et meditaberis in eis sedens in domo tua, et ambulans in itinere, dormiens atque consurgens.

And thou shalt tell them to thy children, and thou shalt meditate upon them sitting in thy house, and walking on thy journey, sleeping and rising.

Et narra illa ad filios tuo, et meditor in illos sedente in domo tuo, et ambulante in itinere, dormi et consurge.

Et ligabis ea quasi signum in manu tua, eruntque et movebuntur inter oculos tuos,

And thou shalt bind them as a sign on thy hand, and they shall be and shall move between thy eyes.

Et ligo illa quasi signo in manu tuo, et es et move inter oculos tuo,

scribesque ea in limine, et ostiis domus tuæ.

And thou shalt write them in the entry, and on the doors of thy house.

Et scribe illa in limine, et ostios de domo tuo.

Cumque introduxerit te Dominus Deus tuus in terram, pro qua juravit patribus tuis Abraham, Isaac, et Jacob, et dederit tibi civitates magnas et optimas, quas non ædificasti,

And when the Lord thy God shall have brought thee into the land, for which he swore to thy fathers Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob: and shall have given thee great and goodly cities, which thou didst not build,

Cumque Domino Deo tuo introduce te in terra, pro quo iura ad patres tuo Abrahame, Isaace, et Iacobo, et da ad te civitates magna et bono, que non aedifica,

domos plenas cunctarum opum, quas non exstruxisti, cisternas, quas non fodisti, vineta et oliveta, quæ non plantasti,

Houses full of riches, which thou didst not set up, cisterns which thou didst not dig, vineyards and oliveyards, which thou didst not plant,

Domos plena cuncta de opos, que non exstrue, cisternas, que non fodie, vinetos et olivetos, que non planta,

et comederis, et saturatus fueris:

And thou shalt have eaten and be full:

Et comede, et satura es:

cave diligenter ne obliviscaris Domini, qui eduxit te de terra Ægypti, de domo servitutis. Dominum Deum tuum timebis, et illi soli servies, ac per nomen illius jurabis.

Take heed diligently lest thou forget the Lord, who brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. Thou shalt fear the Lord thy God, and shalt serve him only, and thou shalt swear by his name.

Cave diligenter ne obliviscor de Domino, qui educe te de terra de Aegypto, de domo de servitute. Domino Deo tuo time, et ad illo solo servi, et per nomine de illo iura.

Non ibitis post deos alienos cunctarum gentium, quæ in circuitu vestro sunt:

You shall not go after the strange gods of all the nations, that are round about you:

Non i post deos aliena cuncta de gentes, que in circuitu vestro es:

quoniam Deus æmulator Dominus Deus tuus in medio tui: nequando irascatur furor Domini Dei tui contra te, et auferat te de superficie terræ.

Because the Lord thy God is a jealous God in the midst of thee: lest at any time the wrath of the Lord thy God be kindled against thee, and take thee away from the face of the earth.

Quia Deo aemulatore Domino Deo tuo in medio tuo: nequando furore de Domino de Deo tuo irasce contra te, et aufer te de superficie de terra.

Non tentabis Dominum Deum tuum, sicut tentasti in loco tentationis.

Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God, as thou temptedst him in the place of temptation.

Non tenta Domino Deo tuo, sicut tenta in loco de tentatione.

Custodi præcepta Domini Dei tui, ac testimonia et cæremonias, quas præcepit tibi:

Keep the precepts of the Lord thy God, and the testimonies and ceremonies which he hath commanded thee.

Ad custodi praeceptos de Domino de Deo tuo, et testimonios et caeremonias, que praecipie ad te:

et fac quod placitum est et bonum in conspectu Domini, ut bene sit tibi: et ingressus possideas terram optimam, de qua juravit Dominus patribus tuis,

And do that which is pleasing and good in the sight of the Lord, that it may be well with thee: and going in thou mayst possess the goodly land, concerning which the Lord swore to thy fathers,

Et fac quod place es et bono in conspectu de Domino, ut bene es ad te: et ingredior posside terra bono, de quo Domino iura ad patres tuo,

ut deleret omnes inimicos tuos coram te, sicut locutus est.

That he would destroy all thy enemies before thee, as he hath spoken.

Ut dele omni inimicos tuo coram te, sicut locuto es.

Cumque interrogaverit te filius tuus cras, dicens: Quid sibi volunt testimonia hæc, et cæremoniæ, atque judicia, quæ præcepit Dominus Deus noster nobis?

And when thy son shall ask thee to morrow, saying: What mean these testimonies, and ceremonies and judgments, which the Lord our God hath commanded us?

Cumque filio tuo interroga te cras, dicente: quid ad se vol testimonios hoc, et caeremonias, et iudicios, Domino Deo nostro praecipie que ad nos?

dices ei: Servi eramus Pharaonis in Ægypto, et eduxit nos Dominus de Ægypto in manu forti:

Thou shalt say to him: We were bondmen of Pharao in Egypt, and the Lord brought us out of Egypt with a strong hand.

Dic ad illo: servis es de Pharaone in Aegypto, et Domino educe nos de Aegypto in manu forti:

fecitque signa atque prodigia magna et pessima in Ægypto contra Pharaonem, et omnem domum illius in conspectu nostro,

And he wrought signs and wonders great and very grievous in Egypt against Pharao, and all his house, in our sight,

Et fac signos et prodigios magna et pessima in Aegypto contra Pharaone, et omni domo de illo in conspectu nostro,

et eduxit nos inde, ut introductis daret terram, super qua juravit patribus nostris.

And he brought us out from thence, that he might bring us in and give us the land, concerning which he swore to our fathers.

Et educe nos inde, ut introduce da terra, super quo iura ad patres nostro.

Præcepitque nobis Dominus ut faciamus omnia legitima hæc, et timeamus Dominum Deum nostrum, ut bene sit nobis cunctis diebus vitæ nostræ, sicut est hodie.

And the Lord commanded that we should do all these ordinances, and should fear the Lord our God, that it might be well with us all the days of our life, as it is at this day.

Et Domino ad nos praecipie ut fac omni legitima hoc, et time Domino Deo nostro, ut bene es ad nos cuncta dies de vita nostro, sicut es hodie.

Eritque nostri misericors, si custodierimus et fecerimus omnia præcepta ejus coram Domino Deo nostro, sicut mandavit nobis.

And he will be merciful to us, if we keep and do all his precepts before the Lord our God, as he hath commanded us.

Et es nostro miserico, si custodi et fac omni praeceptos de illo coram Domino Deo nostro, sicut manda ad nos.
