Deuteronomy 10

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	NOVA VULGATA
1 "At that time the LORD said to me, 'Cut two tablets of stone like the former; then come up the mountain to me. Also make an ark of wood.	1 In tempore illo dixit Dominus ad me: “Dola tibi duas tabulas lapideas, sicut priores fuerunt, et ascende ad me in montem faciesque tibi arcam ligneam.
2 I will write upon the tablets the commandments that were on the former tablets that you broke, and you shall place them in the ark.'	2 Et scribam in tabulis verba, quae fuerunt in his, quas ante confregisti, ponesque eas in arca”.
3 So I made an ark of acacia wood, and cut two tablets of stone like the former, and went up the mountain carrying the two tablets.	3 Feci igitur arcam de lignis acaciae; cumque dolassem duas tabulas lapideas instar priorum, ascendi in montem habens eas in manibus.
4 The LORD then wrote on them, as he had written before, the ten commandments which he spoke to you on the mountain from the midst of the fire on the day of the assembly. After the LORD had given them to me,	4 Scripsitque in tabulis iuxta id quod prius scripserat, verba decem, quae locutus est Dominus ad vos in monte de medio ignis, quando populus congregatus est, et dedit eas mihi.
5 I turned and came down the mountain, and placed the tablets in the ark I had made. There they have remained, in keeping with the command the LORD gave me.	5 Reversusque de monte descendi et posui tabulas in arcam, quam feceram; quae hucusque ibi sunt, sicut mihi praecepit Dominus.
6 (The Israelites set out from Beeroth Bene-jaakan for Moserah, where Aaron died and was buried, his son Eleazar succeeding him in the priestly office.	6 Filii autem Israel castra moverunt ex Berothbeneiacan in Mosera, ubi Aaron mortuus ac sepultus est; pro quo sacerdotio functus est Eleazar filius eius.
7 From there they set out for Gudgodah, and from Gudgodah for Jotbathah, a region where there is water in the wadies.)	7 Inde venerunt in Gadgad; de quo loco profecti castrametati sunt in Ietebatha, in terra torrentium aquarum.
8 "At that time the LORD set apart the tribe of Levi to carry the ark of the covenant of the LORD, to be in attendance before the LORD and minister to him, and to give blessings in his name, as they have done to this day.	8 Eo tempore separavit Dominus tribum Levi, ut portaret arcam foederis Domini et staret coram eo in ministerio ac benediceret in nomine illius usque in praesentem diem.
9 For this reason, Levi has no share in the heritage with his brothers; the LORD himself is his heritage, as the LORD, your God, has told him.	9 Quam ob rem non habuit Levi partem neque hereditatem cum fratribus suis, quia ipse Dominus hereditas eius est, sicut promisit ei Dominus Deus tuus.
10 "After I had spent these other forty days and forty nights on the mountain, and the LORD had once again heard me and decided not to destroy you,	10 Ego autem steti in monte sicut prius quadraginta diebus ac noctibus, exaudivitque me Dominus etiam hac vice et te perdere noluit.
11 he said to me, 'Go now and set out at the head of your people, that they may enter in and occupy the land which I swore to their fathers I would give them.'	11 Dixitque mihi: “Surge, vade et praecede populum, ut ingrediatur et possideat terram, quam iuravi patribus eorum, ut traderem eis”.
12 "And now, Israel, what does the LORD, your God, ask of you but to fear the LORD, your God, and follow his ways exactly, to love and serve the LORD, your God, with all your heart and all your soul,	12 Et nunc, Israel, quid Dominus Deus tuus petit a te, nisi ut timeas Dominum Deum tuum et ambules in viis eius et diligas eum ac servias Domino Deo tuo in toto corde tuo et in tota anima tua
13 to keep the commandments and statutes of the LORD which I enjoin on you today for your own good?	13 custodiasque mandata Domini et praecepta eius, quae ego hodie praecipio, ut bene sit tibi?
14 Think! The heavens, even the highest heavens, belong to the LORD, your God, as well as the earth and everything on it.	14 En Domini Dei tui caelum est et caelum caeli, terra et omnia, quae in ea sunt;
15 Yet in his love for your fathers the LORD was so attached to them as to choose you, their descendants, in preference to all other peoples, as indeed he has now done.	15 et tamen patribus tuis conglutinatus est Dominus et amavit eos elegitque semen eorum post eos, id est vos, de cunctis gentibus, sicut hodie comprobatur.
16 Circumcise your hearts, therefore, and be no longer stiff-necked.	16 Circumcidite igitur praeputium cordis vestri et cervicem vestram, ne induretis amplius,
17 For the LORD, your God, is the God of gods, the LORD of lords, the great God, mighty and awesome, who has no favorites, accepts no bribes;	17 quia Dominus Deus vester ipse est Deus deorum et Dominus dominantium, Deus magnus, potens et terribilis, qui personam non accipit nec munera,
18 who executes justice for the orphan and the widow, and befriends the alien, feeding and clothing him.	18 facit iudicium pupillo et viduae, amat peregrinum et dat ei victum atque vestitum.
19 So you too must befriend the alien, for you were once aliens yourselves in the land of Egypt.	19 Et vos ergo, amate peregrinos, quia et ipsi fuistis advenae in terra Aegypti.
20 The LORD, your God, shall you fear, and him shall you serve; hold fast to him and swear by his name.	20 Dominum Deum tuum timebis et ei servies, ipsi adhaerebis iurabisque in nomine illius.
21 He is your glory, he, your God, who has done for you those great and terrible things which your own eyes have seen.	21 Ipse est laus tua et Deus tuus, qui fecit tibi haec magnalia et terribilia, quae viderunt oculi tui.
22 Your ancestors went down to Egypt seventy strong, and now the LORD, your God, has made you as numerous as the stars of the sky.	22 In septuaginta animabus descenderunt patres tui in Aegyptum; et ecce nunc multiplicavit te Dominus Deus tuus sicut astra caeli.
