New International Version NIV
The Latin Vulgate VUL
1 These are the commands, decrees and laws the LORD your God directed me to teach you to observe in the land that you are crossing the Jordan to possess,
1
haec sunt praecepta et caerimoniae atque iudicia quae mandavit Dominus Deus vester ut docerem vos et faciatis ea in terra ad quam transgredimini possidendam
2 so that you, your children and their children after them may fear the LORD your God as long as you live by keeping all his decrees and commands that I give you, and so that you may enjoy long life.
2
ut timeas Dominum Deum tuum et custodias omnia mandata et praecepta eius quae ego praecipio tibi et filiis ac nepotibus tuis cunctis diebus vitae tuae ut prolongentur dies tui
3 Hear, Israel, and be careful to obey so that it may go well with you and that you may increase greatly in a land flowing with milk and honey, just as the LORD, the God of your ancestors, promised you.
3
audi Israhel et observa ut facias et bene sit tibi et multipliceris amplius sicut pollicitus est Dominus Deus patrum tuorum tibi terram lacte et melle manantem
4 Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God, the LORD is one.
4
audi Israhel Dominus Deus noster Dominus unus est
5 Love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength.
5
diliges Dominum Deum tuum ex toto corde tuo et ex tota anima tua et ex tota fortitudine tua
6 These commandments that I give you today are to be on your hearts.
6
eruntque verba haec quae ego praecipio tibi hodie in corde tuo
7 Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up.
7
et narrabis ea filiis tuis et meditaberis sedens in domo tua et ambulans in itinere dormiens atque consurgens
8 Tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads.
8
et ligabis ea quasi signum in manu tua eruntque et movebuntur inter oculos tuos
9 Write them on the doorframes of your houses and on your gates.
9
scribesque ea in limine et ostiis domus tuae
10 When the LORD your God brings you into the land he swore to your fathers, to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, to give you—a land with large, flourishing cities you did not build,
10
cumque introduxerit te Dominus Deus tuus in terram pro qua iuravit patribus tuis Abraham Isaac et Iacob et dederit tibi civitates magnas et optimas quas non aedificasti
11 houses filled with all kinds of good things you did not provide, wells you did not dig, and vineyards and olive groves you did not plant—then when you eat and are satisfied,
11
domos plenas cunctarum opum quas non extruxisti cisternas quas non fodisti vineta et oliveta quae non plantasti
12 be careful that you do not forget the LORD, who brought you out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery.
12
et comederis et saturatus fueris
13 Fear the LORD your God, serve him only and take your oaths in his name.
13
cave diligenter ne obliviscaris Domini qui eduxit te de terra Aegypti de domo servitutis Dominum Deum tuum timebis et ipsi servies ac per nomen illius iurabis
14 Do not follow other gods, the gods of the peoples around you;
14
non ibitis post deos alienos cunctarum gentium quae in circuitu vestro sunt
15 for the LORD your God, who is among you, is a jealous God and his anger will burn against you, and he will destroy you from the face of the land.
15
quoniam Deus aemulator Dominus Deus tuus in medio tui nequando irascatur furor Domini Dei tui contra te et auferat te de superficie terrae
16 Do not put the LORD your God to the test as you did at Massah.
16
non temptabis Dominum Deum tuum sicut temptasti in loco temptationis
17 Be sure to keep the commands of the LORD your God and the stipulations and decrees he has given you.
17
custodi praecepta Domini Dei tui ac testimonia et caerimonias quas praecepit tibi
18 Do what is right and good in the LORD’s sight, so that it may go well with you and you may go in and take over the good land the LORD promised on oath to your ancestors,
18
et fac quod placitum est et bonum in conspectu Domini ut bene sit tibi et ingressus possideas terram optimam de qua iuravit Dominus patribus tuis
19 thrusting out all your enemies before you, as the LORD said.
19
ut deleret omnes inimicos tuos coram te sicut locutus est
20 In the future, when your son asks you, “What is the meaning of the stipulations, decrees and laws the LORD our God has commanded you?”
20
cum interrogaverit te filius tuus cras dicens quid sibi volunt testimonia haec et caerimoniae atque iudicia quae praecepit Dominus Deus noster nobis
21 tell him: “We were slaves of Pharaoh in Egypt, but the LORD brought us out of Egypt with a mighty hand.
21
dices ei servi eramus Pharaonis in Aegypto et eduxit nos Dominus de Aegypto in manu forti
22 Before our eyes the LORD sent signs and wonders—great and terrible—on Egypt and Pharaoh and his whole household.
22
fecitque signa atque prodigia magna et pessima in Aegypto contra Pharaonem et omnem domum illius in conspectu nostro
23 But he brought us out from there to bring us in and give us the land he promised on oath to our ancestors.
23
et eduxit nos inde ut introductis daret terram super qua iuravit patribus nostris
24 The LORD commanded us to obey all these decrees and to fear the LORD our God, so that we might always prosper and be kept alive, as is the case today.
24
praecepitque nobis Dominus ut faciamus omnia legitima haec et timeamus Dominum Deum nostrum et bene sit nobis cunctis diebus vitae nostrae sicut est hodie
25 And if we are careful to obey all this law before the LORD our God, as he has commanded us, that will be our righteousness.”
25
eritque nostri misericors si custodierimus et fecerimus omnia praecepta eius coram Domino Deo nostro sicut mandavit nobis
