English Standard Version ESV
The Latin Vulgate VUL
1 These are the words of the covenant that the LORD commanded Moses to make with the people of Israel in the land of Moab, besides the covenant that he had made with them at Horeb.
1
haec sunt verba foederis quod praecepit Dominus Mosi ut feriret cum filiis Israhel in terra Moab praeter illud foedus quod cum eis pepigit in Horeb
2 And Moses summoned all Israel and said to them: "You have seen all that the LORD did before your eyes in the land of Egypt, to Pharaoh and to all his servants and to all his land,
2
vocavitque Moses omnem Israhelem et dixit ad eos vos vidistis universa quae fecit Dominus coram vobis in terra Aegypti Pharaoni et omnibus servis eius universaeque terrae illius
3 the great trials that your eyes saw, the signs, and those great wonders.
3
temptationes magnas quas viderunt oculi tui signa illa portentaque ingentia
4 But to this day the LORD has not given you a heart to understand or eyes to see or ears to hear.
4
et non dedit Dominus vobis cor intellegens et oculos videntes et aures quae possint audire usque in praesentem diem
5 I have led you forty years in the wilderness. Your clothes have not worn out on you, and your sandals have not worn off your feet.
5
adduxi vos quadraginta annis per desertum non sunt adtrita vestimenta vestra nec calciamenta pedum tuorum vetustate consumpta sunt
6 You have not eaten bread, and you have not drunk wine or strong drink, that you may know that I am the LORD your God.
6
panem non comedistis vinum et siceram non bibistis ut sciretis quia ego sum Dominus Deus vester
7 And when you came to this place, Sihon the king of Heshbon and Og the king of Bashan came out against us to battle, but we defeated them.
7
et venistis ad locum hunc egressusque est Seon rex Esebon et Og rex Basan occurrens nobis ad pugnam et percussimus eos
8 We took their land and gave it for an inheritance to the Reubenites, the Gadites, and the half-tribe of the Manassites.
8
et tulimus terram eorum ac tradidimus possidendam Ruben et Gad et dimidiae tribui Manasse
9 Therefore keep the words of this covenant and do them, that you may prosper in all that you do.
9
custodite ergo verba pacti huius et implete ea ut intellegatis universa quae facitis
10 "You are standing today all of you before the LORD your God: the heads of your tribes, your elders, and your officers, all the men of Israel,
10
vos statis hodie cuncti coram Domino Deo vestro principes vestri ac tribus et maiores natu atque doctores omnis populus Israhel
11 your little ones, your wives, and the sojourner who is in your camp, from the one who chops your wood to the one who draws your water,
11
liberi et uxores vestrae et advena qui tecum moratur in castris exceptis lignorum caesoribus et his qui conportant aquas
12 so that you may enter into the sworn covenant of the LORD your God, which the LORD your God is making with you today,
12
ut transeas in foedere Domini Dei tui et in iureiurando quod hodie Dominus Deus tuus percutit tecum
13 that he may establish you today as his people, and that he may be your God, as he promised you, and as he swore to your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob.
13
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 It is not with you alone that I am making this sworn covenant,
14
nec vobis solis ego hoc foedus ferio et haec iuramenta confirmo
15 but with whoever is standing here with us today before the LORD our God, and with whoever is not here with us today.
15
sed cunctis praesentibus et absentibus
16 "You know how we lived in the land of Egypt, and how we came through the midst of the nations through which you passed.
16
vos enim nostis ut habitaverimus in terra Aegypti et quomodo transierimus per medium nationum quas transeuntes
17 And you have seen their detestable things, their idols of wood and stone, of silver and gold, which were among them.
17
vidistis abominationes et sordes id est idola eorum lignum et lapidem argentum et aurum quae colebant
18 Beware lest there be among you a man or woman or clan or tribe whose heart is turning away today from the LORD our God to go and serve the gods of those nations. Beware lest there be among you a root bearing poisonous and bitter fruit,
18
ne forte sit inter vos vir aut mulier familia aut tribus cuius cor aversum est hodie a Domino Deo vestro ut vadat et serviat diis illarum gentium et sit inter vos radix germinans fel et amaritudinem
19 one who, when he hears the words of this sworn covenant, blesses himself in his heart, saying, 'I shall be safe, though I walk in the stubbornness of my heart.' This will lead to the sweeping away of moist and dry alike.
19
cumque audierit verba iuramenti huius benedicat sibi in corde suo dicens pax erit mihi et ambulabo in pravitate cordis mei et adsumat ebria sitientem
20 The LORD will not be willing to forgive him, but rather the anger of the LORD and his jealousy will smoke against that man, and the curses written in this book will settle upon him, and the LORD will blot out his name from under heaven.
20
et Dominus non ignoscat ei sed tunc quam maxime furor eius fumet et zelus contra hominem illum et sedeant super eo omnia maledicta quae scripta sunt in hoc volumine et deleat nomen eius sub caelo
21 And the LORD will single him out from all the tribes of Israel for calamity, in accordance with all the curses of the covenant written in this Book of the Law.
21
et consumat eum in perditionem ex omnibus tribubus Israhel iuxta maledictiones quae in libro legis huius ac foederis continentur
22 And the next generation, your children who rise up after you, and the foreigner who comes from a far land, will say, when they see the afflictions of that land and the sicknesses with which the LORD has made it sick--
22
dicetque sequens generatio et filii qui nascentur deinceps et peregrini qui de longe venerint videntes plagas terrae illius et infirmitates quibus eam adflixerit Dominus
23 the whole land burned out with brimstone and salt, nothing sown and nothing growing, where no plant can sprout, an overthrow like that of Sodom and Gomorrah, Admah, and Zeboiim, which the LORD overthrew in his anger and wrath--
23
sulphure et salis ardore conburens ita ut ultra non seratur nec virens quippiam germinet in exemplum subversionis Sodomae et Gomorrae Adamae et Seboim quas subvertit Dominus in ira et furore suo
24 all the nations will say, 'Why has the LORD done thus to this land? What caused the heat of this great anger?'
24
et dicent omnes gentes quare sic fecit Dominus terrae huic quae est haec ira furoris eius inmensa
25 Then people will say, 'It is because they abandoned the covenant of the LORD, the God of their fathers, which he made with them when he brought them out of the land of Egypt,
25
et respondebunt quia dereliquerunt pactum Domini quod pepigit cum patribus eorum quando eduxit eos de terra Aegypti
26 and went and served other gods and worshiped them, gods whom they had not known and whom he had not allotted to them.
26
et servierunt diis alienis et adoraverunt eos quos nesciebant et quibus non fuerant adtributi
27 Therefore the anger of the LORD was kindled against this land, bringing upon it all the curses written in this book,
27
idcirco iratus est furor Domini contra terram istam ut induceret super eam omnia maledicta quae in hoc volumine scripta sunt
28 and the LORD uprooted them from their land in anger and fury and great wrath, and cast them into another land, as they are this day.'
28
et eiecit eos de terra sua in ira et furore et indignatione maxima proiecitque in terram alienam sicut hodie conprobatur
29 "The secret things belong to the LORD our God, but the things that are revealed belong to us and to our children forever, that we may do all the words of this law.
29
abscondita Domino Deo nostro quae manifesta sunt nobis et filiis nostris usque in aeternum ut faciamus universa legis huius
