Deuteronomy 32

The Message Bible MSG

1 Listen, Heavens, I have something to tell you. Attention, Earth, I've got a mouth full of words.

2 My teaching, let it fall like a gentle rain, my words arrive like morning dew, Like a sprinkling rain on new grass, like spring showers on the garden.

3 For it's God's Name I'm preaching - respond to the greatness of our God!

4 The Rock: His works are perfect, and the way he works is fair and just; A God you can depend upon, no exceptions, a straight-arrow God.

5 His messed-up, mixed-up children, his non-children, throw mud at him but none of it sticks.

6 Don't you realize it is God you are treating like this? This is crazy; don't you have any sense of reverence? Isn't this your father who created you, who made you and gave you a place on Earth?

7 Read up on what happened before you were born; dig into the past, understand your roots. Ask your parents what it was like before you were born; ask the old-ones, they'll tell you a thing or two.

8 When the High God gave the nations their stake, gave them their place on Earth, He put each of the peoples within boundaries under the care of divine guardians.

9 But God himself took charge of his people, took Jacob on as his personal concern.

10 He found him out in the wilderness, in an empty, windswept wasteland. He threw his arms around him, lavished attention on him, guarding him as the apple of his eye.

11 He was like an eagle hovering over its nest, overshadowing its young, Then spreading its wings, lifting them into the air, teaching them to fly.

12 God alone led him; there was not a foreign god in sight.

13 God lifted him on to the hilltops, so he could feast on the crops in the fields. He fed him honey from the rock, oil from granite crags,

14 Curds of cattle and the milk of sheep, the choice cuts of lambs and goats, Fine Bashan rams, high-quality wheat, and the blood of grapes: you drank good wine!

15 Jeshurun put on weight and bucked; you got fat, became obese, a tub of lard. He abandoned the God who made him, he mocked the Rock of his salvation.

16 They made him jealous with their foreign newfangled gods, and with obscenities they vexed him no end.

17 They sacrificed to no-god demons, gods they knew nothing about, The latest in gods, fresh from the market, gods your ancestors would never call "gods."

18 You walked out on the Rock who gave you your life, forgot the birth-God who brought you into the world.

19 God saw it and turned on his heel, angered and hurt by his sons and daughters.

20 He said, "From now on I'm looking the other way. Wait and see what happens to them. Oh, they're a turned-around, upside-down generation! Who knows what they'll do from one moment to the next?

21 They've goaded me with their no-gods, infuriated me with their hot-air gods; I'm going to goad them with a no-people, with a hollow nation incense them.

22 My anger started a fire, a wildfire burning deep down in Sheol, Then shooting up and devouring the Earth and its crops, setting all the mountains, from bottom to top, on fire.

23 I'll pile catastrophes on them, I'll shoot my arrows at them:

24 Starvation, blistering heat, killing disease; I'll send snarling wild animals to attack from the forest and venomous creatures to strike from the dust.

25 Killing in the streets, terror in the houses, Young men and virgins alike struck down, and yes, breast-feeding babies and gray-haired old men."

26 I could have said, "I'll hack them to pieces, wipe out all trace of them from the Earth,"

27 Except that I feared the enemy would grab the chance to take credit for all of it, Crowing, "Look what we did! God had nothing to do with this."

28 They are a nation of ninnies, they don't know enough to come in out of the rain.

29 If they had any sense at all, they'd know this; they would see what's coming down the road.

30 How could one soldier chase a thousand enemies off, or two men run off two thousand, Unless their Rock had sold them, unless God had given them away?

31 For their rock is nothing compared to our Rock; even our enemies say that.

32 They're a vine that comes right out of Sodom, who they are is rooted in Gomorrah; Their grapes are poison grapes, their grape-clusters bitter.

33 Their wine is rattlesnake venom, mixed with lethal cobra poison.

34 Don't you realize that I have my shelves well stocked, locked behind iron doors?

35 I'm in charge of vengeance and payback, just waiting for them to slip up; And the day of their doom is just around the corner, sudden and swift and sure.

36 Yes, God will judge his people, but oh how compassionately he'll do it. When he sees their weakened plight and there is no one left, slave or free,

37 He'll say, "So where are their gods, the rock in which they sought refuge,

38 The gods who feasted on the fat of their sacrifices and drank the wine of their drink-offerings? Let them show their stuff and help you, let them give you a hand!

39 "Do you see it now? Do you see that I'm the one? Do you see that there's no other god beside me? I bring death and I give life, I wound and I heal - there is no getting away from or around me!

40 I raise my hand in solemn oath; I say, 'I'm always around. By that very life I promise:

41 When I sharpen my lightning sword and execute judgment, I take vengeance on my enemies and pay back those who hate me.

42 I'll make my arrows drunk with blood, my sword will gorge itself on flesh, Feasting on slain and captive alike, the proud and vain enemy corpses.'"

43 Celebrate, nations, join the praise of his people. He avenges the deaths of his servants, Pays back his enemies with vengeance, and cleanses his land for his people.

44 Moses came and recited all the words of this song in the hearing of the people, he and Joshua son of Nun.

45 When Moses had finished saying all these words to all Israel,

46 he said, "Take to heart all these words to which I give witness today and urgently command your children to put them into practice, every single word of this Revelation.

47 Yes. This is no small matter for you; it's your life. In keeping this word you'll have a good and long life in this land that you're crossing the Jordan to possess."

48 That same day God spoke to Moses:

49 "Climb the Abarim Mountains to Mount Nebo in the land of Moab, overlooking Jericho, and view the land of Canaan that I'm giving the People of Israel to have and hold.

50 Die on the mountain that you climb and join your people in the ground, just as your brother Aaron died on Mount Hor and joined his people.

51 "This is because you broke faith with me in the company of the People of Israel at the Waters of Meribah Kadesh in the Wilderness of Zin - you didn't honor my Holy Presence in the company of the People of Israel.

52 You'll look at the land spread out before you but you won't enter it, this land that I am giving to the People of Israel."

The Latin Vulgate VUL

1 audite caeli quae loquor audiat terra verba oris mei

2 concrescat in pluvia doctrina mea fluat ut ros eloquium meum quasi imber super herbam et quasi stillae super gramina

3 quia nomen Domini invocabo date magnificentiam Deo nostro

4 Dei perfecta sunt opera et omnes viae eius iudicia Deus fidelis et absque ulla iniquitate iustus et rectus

5 peccaverunt ei non filii eius in sordibus generatio prava atque perversa

6 haecine reddis Domino popule stulte et insipiens numquid non ipse est pater tuus qui possedit et fecit et creavit te

7 memento dierum antiquorum cogita generationes singulas interroga patrem tuum et adnuntiabit tibi maiores tuos et dicent tibi

8 quando dividebat Altissimus gentes quando separabat filios Adam constituit terminos populorum iuxta numerum filiorum Israhel

9 pars autem Domini populus eius Iacob funiculus hereditatis eius

10 invenit eum in terra deserta in loco horroris et vastae solitudinis circumduxit eum et docuit et custodivit quasi pupillam oculi sui

11 sicut aquila provocans ad volandum pullos suos et super eos volitans expandit alas suas et adsumpsit eum atque portavit in umeris suis

12 Dominus solus dux eius fuit et non erat cum eo deus alienus

13 constituit eum super excelsam terram ut comederet fructus agrorum ut sugeret mel de petra oleumque de saxo durissimo

14 butyrum de armento et lac de ovibus cum adipe agnorum et arietum filiorum Basan et hircos cum medulla tritici et sanguinem uvae biberet meracissimum

15 incrassatus est dilectus et recalcitravit incrassatus inpinguatus dilatatus dereliquit Deum factorem suum et recessit a Deo salutari suo

16 provocaverunt eum in diis alienis et in abominationibus ad iracundiam concitaverunt

17 immolaverunt daemonibus et non Deo diis quos ignorabant novi recentesque venerunt quos non coluerunt patres eorum

18 Deum qui te genuit dereliquisti et oblitus es Domini creatoris tui

19 vidit Dominus et ad iracundiam concitatus est quia provocaverunt eum filii sui et filiae

20 et ait abscondam faciem meam ab eis et considerabo novissima eorum generatio enim perversa est et infideles filii

21 ipsi me provocaverunt in eo qui non erat Deus et inritaverunt in vanitatibus suis et ego provocabo eos in eo qui non est populus et in gente stulta inritabo illos

22 ignis succensus est in furore meo et ardebit usque ad inferni novissima devorabitque terram cum germine suo et montium fundamenta conburet

23 congregabo super eos mala et sagittas meas conplebo in eis

24 consumentur fame et devorabunt eos aves morsu amarissimo dentes bestiarum inmittam in eos cum furore trahentium super terram atque serpentium

25 foris vastabit eos gladius et intus pavor iuvenem simul ac virginem lactantem cum homine sene

26 dixi ubinam sunt cessare faciam ex hominibus memoriam eorum

27 sed propter iram inimicorum distuli ne forte superbirent hostes eorum et dicerent manus nostra excelsa et non Dominus fecit haec omnia

28 gens absque consilio est et sine prudentia

29 utinam saperent et intellegerent ac novissima providerent

30 quomodo persequatur unus mille et duo fugent decem milia nonne ideo quia Deus suus vendidit eos et Dominus conclusit illos

31 non enim est Deus noster ut deus eorum et inimici nostri sunt iudices

32 de vinea Sodomorum vinea eorum et de suburbanis Gomorrae uva eorum uva fellis et botri amarissimi

33 fel draconum vinum eorum et venenum aspidum insanabile

34 nonne haec condita sunt apud me et signata in thesauris meis

35 mea est ultio et ego retribuam in tempore ut labatur pes eorum iuxta est dies perditionis et adesse festinant tempora

36 iudicabit Dominus populum suum et in servis suis miserebitur videbit quod infirmata sit manus et clausi quoque defecerint residuique consumpti sint

37 et dicet ubi sunt dii eorum in quibus habebant fiduciam

38 de quorum victimis comedebant adipes et bibebant vinum libaminum surgant et opitulentur vobis et in necessitate vos protegant

39 videte quod ego sim solus et non sit alius deus praeter me ego occidam et ego vivere faciam percutiam et ego sanabo et non est qui de manu mea possit eruere

40 levabo ad caelum manum meam et dicam vivo ego in aeternum

41 si acuero ut fulgur gladium meum et arripuerit iudicium manus mea reddam ultionem hostibus meis et his qui oderunt me retribuam

42 inebriabo sagittas meas sanguine et gladius meus devorabit carnes de cruore occisorum et de captivitate nudati inimicorum capitis

43 laudate gentes populum eius quia sanguinem servorum suorum ulciscetur et vindictam retribuet in hostes eorum et propitius erit terrae populi sui

44 venit ergo Moses et locutus est omnia verba cantici huius in auribus populi ipse et Iosue filius Nun

45 conplevitque omnes sermones istos loquens ad universum Israhel

46 et dixit ad eos ponite corda vestra in omnia verba quae ego testificor vobis hodie ut mandetis ea filiis vestris custodire et facere et implere universa quae scripta sunt legis huius

47 quia non in cassum praecepta sunt vobis sed ut singuli in eis viverent quae facientes longo perseveretis tempore in terra ad quam Iordane transmisso ingredimini possidendam

48 locutusque est Dominus ad Mosen in eadem die dicens

49 ascende in montem istum Abarim id est transituum in montem Nebo qui est in terra Moab contra Hiericho et vide terram Chanaan quam ego tradam filiis Israhel obtinendam et morere in monte

50 quem conscendens iungeris populis tuis sicut mortuus est Aaron frater tuus in monte Hor et adpositus populis suis

51 quia praevaricati estis contra me in medio filiorum Israhel ad aquas Contradictionis in Cades deserti Sin et non sanctificastis me inter filios Israhel

52 e contra videbis terram et non ingredieris in eam quam ego dabo filiis Israhel
