The Latin Vulgate VUL
1 Therefore when all these come upon thee, blessing either cursing, which I have set forth in thy sight, and if thou art led by repentance of thine heart among all folks, into which thy Lord God hath scattered thee, (And so when all these things have come upon thee, the blessing and the curse which I have set forth before thee, if thou art led by the repentance of thy heart, when thou be among all the nations into which the Lord thy God hath scattered thee,)
1
cum ergo venerint super te omnes sermones isti benedictio sive maledictio quam proposui in conspectu tuo et ductus paenitudine cordis tui in universis gentibus in quas disperserit te Dominus Deus tuus
2 and if thou turnest again to him, and obeyest to his behests, as I have commanded to thee today, with thy sons, in all thine heart, and in all thy soul, (and if thou, and thy sons and thy daughters, turn back to him, and obey his commands, as I have commanded thee today, with all thy heart, and with all thy soul,)
2
reversus fueris ad eum et oboedieris eius imperiis sicut ego hodie praecipio tibi cum filiis tuis in toto corde tuo et in tota anima tua
3 thy Lord God shall lead thee again from thy captivity, and shall have mercy on thee, and again he shall gather thee from all peoples, into which he hath scattered thee before. (then the Lord thy God shall have mercy on thee, and he shall bring thee back from thy captivity, yea, he shall gather thee again from all the peoples into whom he hath scattered thee.)
3
reducet Dominus Deus tuus captivitatem tuam ac miserebitur tui et rursum congregabit te de cunctis populis in quos te ante dispersit
4 If thou art scattered to the ends of heaven, from thence thy Lord God shall draw thee; (Even if thou art scattered unto the ends of the heavens, the Lord thy God shall gather thee back from there;)
4
si ad cardines caeli fueris dissipatus inde te retrahet Dominus Deus tuus
5 and he shall take thee, and bring thee into the land which thy fathers wielded (and he shall bring thee back to the land which thy fathers possessed); and thou shalt hold it, (or possess it,) and he shall bless thee, and shall make thee to be of more number than thy fathers were.
5
et adsumet atque introducet in terram quam possederunt patres tui et obtinebis eam et benedicens tibi maioris numeri esse te faciet quam fuerunt patres tui
6 Thy Lord God shall circumcise thine heart, and the heart of thy seed, that thou love thy Lord God in all thine heart, and in all thy soul, and thou mayest live. (The Lord thy God shall circumcise thy hearts, and the hearts of thy descendants, so that thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and that thou mayest live.)
6
circumcidet Dominus Deus tuus cor tuum et cor seminis tui ut diligas Dominum Deum tuum in toto corde tuo et in tota anima tua et possis vivere
7 Forsooth the Lord shall turn all these cursings on thine enemies, and on them that hate thee, and pursue thee.
7
omnes autem maledictiones has convertet super inimicos tuos et eos qui oderunt te et persequuntur
8 Soothly thou shalt turn again, and shalt hear the voice of thy Lord God, and shalt do all the behests which I command to thee today; (And thou shalt return, and hear the voice of the Lord thy God, and shalt do all the commands which I command to thee today;)
8
tu autem reverteris et audies vocem Domini Dei tui faciesque universa mandata quae ego praecipio tibi hodie
9 and thy Lord God shall make thee to be plenteous, in all the works of thine hands, in the children of thy womb, and in the fruit of thy beasts, and in (the) abundance of thy land, and in (the) largeness of all things. For the Lord shall turn again, that he have joy upon thee in all goods, as he joyed in thy fathers (For the Lord shall again have joy over thee, and shall be good to thee, as he had joy over thy fathers);
9
et abundare te faciet Dominus Deus tuus in cunctis operibus manuum tuarum in subole uteri tui et in fructu iumentorum tuorum in ubertate terrae tuae et in rerum omnium largitate revertetur enim Dominus ut gaudeat super te in omnibus bonis sicut gavisus est in patribus tuis
10 if nevertheless thou hearest the voice of thy Lord God, and keepest his behests and his ceremonies, that be written in this (book of the) law, and if thou turn again to thy Lord God in all thine heart, and in all thy soul. (if nevertheless thou hearest the voice of the Lord thy God, and obey his commandments and his statutes, that be written in this Book of the Law, and if thou return to the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul.)
10
si tamen audieris vocem Domini Dei tui et custodieris praecepta eius et caerimonias quae in hac lege conscriptae sunt et revertaris ad Dominum Deum tuum in toto corde tuo et in tota anima tua
11 This commandment which I command to thee today, is not (too far) above thee, neither it is set far from thee (nor is it set too far away from thee),
11
mandatum hoc quod ego praecipio tibi hodie non supra te est neque procul positum
12 neither it is set in heaven, that thou say, Who of us may go up to heaven, that he bring it to us, and we hear it, and fulfill it in work? (nor is it set in the heavens, so that thou sayest, Who shall go up to the heavens for us, and bring it down, so that we can hear it, and fulfill it with our deeds?)
12
nec in caelo situm ut possis dicere quis nostrum ad caelum valet conscendere ut deferat illud ad nos et audiamus atque opere conpleamus
13 neither it is set beyond the sea, that thou complain, and say, Who of us may pass over the sea, and bring it hither to us, that we may hear, and do that that is commanded to us? (nor is it set beyond the sea, so that thou can complain, and say, Who of us shall cross over the sea, and bring it back here to us, so that we can hear it, and do what is commanded to us?)
13
neque trans mare positum ut causeris et dicas quis e nobis transfretare poterit mare et illud ad nos usque deferre ut possimus audire et facere quod praeceptum est
14 But the word is full nigh thee, in thy mouth, and in thine heart, that thou do it. (But the word is very near to thee, yea, it is in thy mouth, and in thy heart, so that thou can do it.)
14
sed iuxta te est sermo valde in ore tuo et in corde tuo ut facias illum
15 Behold thou, that today I have set forth in thy sight life and good, and, on the contrary, death and evil;
15
considera quod hodie proposuerim in conspectu tuo vitam et bonum et e contrario mortem et malum
16 that thou love thy Lord God, and go in his ways, and keep his behests, and his ceremonies, and his dooms; and that thou live, and he multiply thee, and bless thee in the land to which thou shalt enter to wield. (so that thou can love the Lord thy God, and go in all his ways, and obey his commandments, and his statutes, and his laws, or his judgements; and so that thou shalt live, and that he multiply thee, and bless thee in the land to which thou shalt enter to take.)
16
ut diligas Dominum Deum tuum et ambules in viis eius et custodias mandata illius et caerimonias atque iudicia et vivas ac multiplicet te benedicatque tibi in terra ad quam ingredieris possidendam
17 But if thine heart is turned away, and thou wilt not hear, and thou art deceived by error, and worshippest alien gods, and servest them, (But if thy heart is turned away, and thou wilt not listen, and obey, and thou art deceived by error, and worshippest foreign, or other, gods, and servest them,)
17
sin autem aversum fuerit cor tuum et audire nolueris atque errore deceptus adoraveris deos alienos et servieris eis
18 I before-say to thee today, that thou shalt perish, and thou shalt dwell little time in the land, to which thou shalt enter to wield, when thou shalt pass (the) Jordan. (I say to thee today, before the time, or ahead of time, that thou shalt die, and thou shalt live only a short time in the land, which thou shalt enter to take, when thou shalt cross over the Jordan River.)
18
praedico tibi hodie quod pereas et parvo tempore moreris in terra ad quam Iordane transmisso ingredieris possidendam
19 I call today heaven and earth to witness, that is, angels and men, that I have set forth to you life and death, good and evil, blessing and cursing; therefore choose thou life, that both thou live and thy seed, (I call heaven and earth, that is, the angels and men, to witness today, that I have set forth before you life and death, good and evil, blessing and curses; and so choose thou life, so that both thou and thy descendants shall live,)
19
testes invoco hodie caelum et terram quod proposuerim vobis vitam et mortem bonum et malum benedictionem et maledictionem elige ergo vitam ut et tu vivas et semen tuum
20 and that thou love thy Lord God, and obey to his voice, and cleave to him, for he is thy life, and the length of thy days; that thou dwell in the land, for which the Lord swore to thy fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, that he should give it to them. (and that thou love the Lord thy God, and obey his voice, and cleave to him, for he is thy life, and the length of thy days; and so that thou can live in the land which the Lord swore to thy fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, that he would give them.)
20
et diligas Dominum Deum tuum atque oboedias voci eius et illi adhereas ipse est enim vita tua et longitudo dierum tuorum ut habites in terra pro qua iuravit Dominus patribus tuis Abraham Isaac et Iacob ut daret eam illis
