Deuteronomy 11

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	NOVA VULGATA
1 "Love the LORD, your God, therefore, and always heed his charge: his statutes, decrees and commandments.	1 Ama itaque Dominum Deum tuum et custodi obser vationem eius et praecepta, iudicia atque mandata omni tempore.
2 It is not your children, who have not known it from experience, but you yourselves who must now understand the discipline of the LORD, your God; his majesty, his strong hand and outstretched arm;	2 Cognoscite hodie, quae ignorant filii vestri, qui non viderunt disciplinam Domini Dei vestri, magnalia eius et robustam manum extentumque brachium,
3 the signs and deeds he wrought among the Egyptians, on Pharaoh, king of Egypt, and on all his land;	3 signa et opera, quae fecit in medio Aegypti pharaoni regi et universae terrae eius
4 what he did to the Egyptian army and to their horses and chariots, engulfing them in the water of the Red Sea as they pursued you, and bringing ruin upon them even to this day;	4 omnique exercitui Aegyptiorum et equis ac curribus; quomodo operuerint eos aquae maris Rubri, cum vos persequerentur, et deleverit eos Dominus usque in praesentem diem;
5 what he did for you in the desert until you arrived in this place;	5 vobisque, quae fecerit in solitudine, donec veniretis ad hunc locum;
6 and what he did to the Reubenites Dathan and Abiram, sons of Eliab, when the ground opened its mouth and swallowed them up out of the midst of Israel, with their families and tents and every living thing that belonged to them.	6 et Dathan atque Abiram filiis Eliab, qui fuit filius Ruben, quos aperto ore suo terra absorbuit cum domibus et tabernaculis et universa substantia eorum, quam habebant in medio Israel.
7 With your own eyes you have seen all these great deeds that the LORD has done.	7 Oculi vestri viderunt omnia opera Domini magna, quae fecit,
8 Keep all the commandments, then, which I enjoin on you today, that you may be strong enough to enter in and take possession of the land into which you are crossing,	8 ut custodiatis universa mandata, quae ego hodie praecipio vobis, ut roboremini et possitis introire et possidere terram, ad quam ingredimini,
9 and that you may have long life on the land which the LORD swore to your fathers he would give to them and their descendants, a land flowing with milk and honey.	9 multoque in ea vivatis tempore, quam sub iuramento pollicitus est Dominus patribus vestris et semini eorum, lacte et melle manantem.
10 "For the land which you are to enter and occupy is not like the land of Egypt from which you have come, where you would sow your seed and then water it by hand, as in a vegetable garden.	10 Terra enim, ad quam ingredieris possidendam, non est sicut terra Aegypti, de qua existis, ubi, iacto semine, in hortorum morem aquae pede ducuntur irriguae;
11 No, the land into which you are crossing for conquest is a land of hills and valleys that drinks in rain from the heavens,	11 sed montuosa est et campestris, de caelo exspectans pluvias,
12 a land which the LORD, your God, looks after; his eyes are upon it continually from the beginning of the year to the end.	12 quam Dominus Deus tuus semper invisit, et oculi illius in ea sunt a principio anni usque ad finem eius.
13 If, then, you truly heed my commandments which I enjoin on you today, loving and serving the LORD, your God, with all your heart and all your soul,	13 Si ergo oboedieritis mandatis meis, quae hodie praecipio vobis, ut diligatis Dominum Deum vestrum et serviatis ei in toto corde vestro et in tota anima vestra,
14 I will give the seasonal rain to your land, the early rain and the late rain, that you may have your grain, wine and oil to gather in;	14 dabo pluviam terrae vestrae temporaneam et serotinam in tempore suo, ut colligas frumentum et vinum et oleum,
15 and I will bring forth grass in your fields for your animals. Thus you may eat your fill.	15 et dabit fenum ex agris ad pascenda iumenta, et ut ipse comedas ac satureris.
16 But be careful lest your heart be so lured away that you serve other gods and worship them.	16 Cavete, ne decipiatur cor vestrum, et recedatis a Domino serviatisque diis alienis et adoretis eos,
17 For then the wrath of the LORD will flare up against you and he will close up the heavens, so that no rain will fall, and the soil will not yield its crops, and you will soon perish from the good land he is giving you.	17 iratusque Dominus contra vos claudat caelum, et pluviae non descendant, nec terra det fructum suum, pereatisque velociter de terra optima, quam Dominus daturus est vobis.
18 "Therefore, take these words of mine into your heart and soul. Bind them at your wrist as a sign, and let them be a pendant on your forehead.	18 Ponite haec verba mea in cordibus et in animis vestris et ligate ea pro signo in manibus et inter oculos vestros collocate quasi appensum quid.
19 Teach them to your children, speaking of them at home and abroad, whether you are busy or at rest.	19 Docete ea filios vestros, de illis loquendo, quando sederis in domo tua et ambulaveris in via et accubueris atque surrexeris.
20 And write them on the doorposts of your houses and on your gates,	20 Scribes ea super postes domus tuae et portas tuas,
21 so that, as long as the heavens are above the earth, you and your children may live on in the land which the LORD swore to your fathers he would give them.	21 ut multiplicentur dies tui et filiorum tuorum in terra, quam iuravit Dominus patribus tuis, ut daret eis, quamdiu caelum imminet terrae.
22 "For if you are careful to observe all these commandments I enjoin on you, loving the LORD, your God, and following his ways exactly, and holding fast to him,	22 Si enim custodieritis omnia mandata haec, quae ego praecipio vobis, et feceritis ea, ut diligatis Dominum Deum vestrum et ambuletis in omnibus viis eius adhaerentes ei,
23 the LORD will drive all these nations out of your way, and you will dispossess nations greater and mightier than yourselves.	23 disperdet Dominus omnes gentes istas ante faciem vestram, et possidebitis eas, quae maiores et fortiores vobis sunt;
24 Every place where you set foot shall be yours: from the desert and from Lebanon, from the Euphrates River to the Western Sea, shall be your territory.	24 omnis locus, quem calcaverit pes vester, vester erit. A deserto et a Libano, a flumine magno Euphrate usque ad mare occidentale erunt termini vestri.
25 None shall stand up against you; the LORD, your God, will spread the fear and dread of you through any land where you set foot, as he promised you.	25 Nullus stabit contra vos; terrorem vestrum et formidinem dabit Dominus Deus vester super omnem terram, quam calcaturi estis, sicut locutus est vobis.
26 "I set before you here, this day, a blessing and a curse:	26 En propono in conspectu vestro hodie benedictionem et maledictionem:
27 a blessing for obeying the commandments of the LORD, your God, which I enjoin on you today;	27 benedictionem, si oboedieritis mandatis Domini Dei vestri, quae ego hodie praecipio vobis;
28 a curse if you do not obey the commandments of the LORD, your God, but turn aside from the way I ordain for you today, to follow other gods, whom you have not known.	28 maledictionem, si non oboedieritis mandatis Domini Dei vestri, sed recesseritis de via, quam ego nunc ostendo vobis, et ambulaveritis post deos alienos, quos ignoratis.
29 When the LORD, your God, brings you into the land which you are to enter and occupy, then you shall pronounce the blessing on Mount Gerizim, the curse on Mount Ebal.	29 Cum introduxerit te Dominus Deus tuus in terram, ad quam pergis habitandam, pones benedictionem super montem Garizim, maledictionem super montem Hebal,
30 (Are they not beyond the Jordan, on the other side of the western road in the country of the Canaanites who live in the Arabah, opposite the Gilgal beside the terebinth of Moreh?)	30 qui sunt trans Iordanem, post viam quae vergit ad solis occubitum in terra Chananaei, qui habitat in Araba contra Galgalam, quae est iuxta Quercus Moreh.
31 For you are about to cross the Jordan to enter and occupy the land which the LORD, your God, is giving you. When, therefore, you take possession of it and settle there,	31 Vos enim transibitis Iordanem, ut possideatis terram, quam Dominus Deus vester daturus est vobis, et habitetis in illa.
32 be careful to observe all the statutes and decrees that I set before you today.	32 Videte ergo ut impleatis omnia praecepta atque iudicia, quae ego hodie ponam in conspectu vestro.
