Deuteronomy 8

The Message Bible MSG

1 Keep and live out the entire commandment that I'm commanding you today so that you'll live and prosper and enter and own the land that God promised to your ancestors.

2 Remember every road that God led you on for those forty years in the wilderness, pushing you to your limits, testing you so that he would know what you were made of, whether you would keep his commandments or not.

3 He put you through hard times. He made you go hungry. Then he fed you with manna, something neither you nor your parents knew anything about, so you would learn that men and women don't live by bread only; we live by every word that comes from God's mouth.

4 Your clothes didn't wear out and your feet didn't blister those forty years.

5 You learned deep in your heart that God disciplines you in the same ways a father disciplines his child.

6 So it's paramount that you keep the commandments of God, your God, walk down the roads he shows you and reverently respect him.

7 God is about to bring you into a good land, a land with brooks and rivers, springs and lakes, streams out of the hills and through the valleys.

8 It's a land of wheat and barley, of vines and figs and pomegranates, of olives, oil, and honey.

9 It's land where you'll never go hungry - always food on the table and a roof over your head. It's a land where you'll get iron out of rocks and mine copper from the hills.

10 After a meal, satisfied, bless God, your God, for the good land he has given you.

11 Make sure you don't forget God, your God, by not keeping his commandments, his rules and regulations that I command you today

12 Make sure that when you eat and are satisfied, build pleasant houses and settle in,

13 see your herds and flocks flourish and more and more money come in, watch your standard of living going up and up -

14 make sure you don't become so full of yourself and your things that you forget God, your God, the God who delivered you from Egyptian slavery;

15 the God who led you through that huge and fearsome wilderness, those desolate, arid badlands crawling with fiery snakes and scorpions; the God who gave you water gushing from hard rock;

16 the God who gave you manna to eat in the wilderness, something your ancestors had never heard of, in order to give you a taste of the hard life, to test you so that you would be prepared to live well in the days ahead of you.

17 If you start thinking to yourselves, "I did all this. And all by myself. I'm rich. It's all mine!" -

18 well, think again. Remember that God, your God, gave you the strength to produce all this wealth so as to confirm the covenant that he promised to your ancestors - as it is today.

19 If you forget, forget God, your God, and start taking up with other gods, serving and worshiping them, I'm on record right now as giving you firm warning: that will be the end of you; I mean it - destruction.

20 You'll go to your doom - the same as the nations God is destroying before you; doom because you wouldn't obey the Voice of God, your God.

The Latin Vulgate VUL

1 omne mandatum quod ego praecipio tibi hodie cave diligenter ut facias ut possitis vivere et multiplicemini ingressique possideatis terram pro qua iuravit Dominus patribus vestris

2 et recordaberis cuncti itineris per quod adduxit te Dominus Deus tuus quadraginta annis per desertum ut adfligeret te atque temptaret et nota fierent quae in tuo animo versabantur utrum custodires mandata illius an non

3 adflixit te penuria et dedit tibi cibum manna quem ignorabas tu et patres tui ut ostenderet tibi quod non in solo pane vivat homo sed in omni verbo quod egreditur ex ore Domini

4 vestimentum tuum quo operiebaris nequaquam vetustate defecit et pes tuus non est subtritus en quadragesimus annus est

5 ut recogites in corde tuo quia sicut erudit homo filium suum sic Dominus Deus tuus erudivit te

6 ut custodias mandata Domini Dei tui et ambules in viis eius et timeas eum

7 Dominus enim Deus tuus introducet te in terram bonam terram rivorum aquarumque et fontium in cuius campis et montibus erumpunt fluviorum abyssi

8 terram frumenti hordei vinearum in qua ficus et mala granata et oliveta nascuntur terram olei ac mellis

9 ubi absque ulla penuria comedes panem tuum et rerum omnium abundantia perfrueris cuius lapides ferrum sunt et de montibus eius aeris metalla fodiuntur

10 ut cum comederis et satiatus fueris benedicas Domino Deo tuo pro terra optima quam dedit tibi

11 observa et cave nequando obliviscaris Domini Dei tui et neglegas mandata eius atque iudicia et caerimonias quas ego praecipio tibi hodie

12 ne postquam comederis et satiatus domos pulchras aedificaveris et habitaveris in eis

13 habuerisque armenta et ovium greges argenti et auri cunctarumque rerum copiam

14 elevetur cor tuum et non reminiscaris Domini Dei tui qui eduxit te de terra Aegypti de domo servitutis

15 et ductor tuus fuit in solitudine magna atque terribili in qua erat serpens flatu adurens et scorpio ac dipsas et nullae omnino aquae qui eduxit rivos de petra durissima

16 et cibavit te manna in solitudine quod nescierunt patres tui et postquam adflixit ac probavit ad extremum misertus est tui

17 ne diceres in corde tuo fortitudo mea et robur manus meae haec mihi omnia praestiterunt

18 sed recorderis Domini Dei tui quod ipse tibi vires praebuerit ut impleret pactum suum super quo iuravit patribus tuis sicut praesens indicat dies

19 sin autem oblitus Domini Dei tui secutus fueris alienos deos coluerisque illos et adoraveris ecce nunc praedico tibi quod omnino dispereas

20 sicut gentes quas delevit Dominus in introitu tuo ita et vos peribitis si inoboedientes fueritis voci Domini Dei vestri
