NEW JERUSALEMNOVA VULGATA
1 ' "You wil not make idols for yourselves; you will not erect statues or cultic stones, or erect carvedstones in your country, for you to worship: for I, Yahweh, am your God.1 “ Non facietis vobis idolum et sculptile nec lapidem eri getis nec imaginem sculptam in petra ponetis in terra vestra, ut adoretis eam. Ego enim sum Dominus Deus vester.
2 You will keep my Sabbaths and revere my sanctuary. I am Yahweh.2 Custodite sabbata mea et pavete sanctuarium meum. Ego Dominus.
3 "If you live according to my laws, if you keep my commandments and put them into practice,3 Si in praeceptis meis ambulaveritis et mandata mea custodieritis et feceritis ea,
4 I shal give you the rain you need at the right time; the soil wil yield its produce and the trees of thecountryside their fruit;4 dabo vobis pluvias temporibus suis, et terra gignet germen suum, et pomis arbores replebuntur.
5 you wil thresh until vintage time and gather grapes until sowing time. You wil eat your fill of bread andlive secure in your land.5 Apprehendet messium tritura vindemiam, et vindemia occupabit sementem; et comedetis panem vestrum in saturitatem et absque pavore habitabitis in terra vestra.
6 "I shall give peace in the land, and you wil go to sleep with no one to frighten you. I shal rid the land of beasts of prey. The sword wil not pass through your land.6 Dabo pacem in finibus vestris, dormietis, et non erit qui exterreat. Auferam malas bestias, et gladius non transibit per terminos vestros.
7 You will pursue your enemies and they wil fal before your sword;7 Persequemini inimicos vestros, et corruent coram vobis gladio.
8 five of you pursuing a hundred of them, one hundred pursuing ten thousand; and your enemies wil falbefore your sword.8 Persequentur quinque de vestris centum alienos, et centum ex vobis decem milia; cadent inimici vestri in conspectu vestro gladio.
9 "I shall turn towards you, I shal make you fertile and make your numbers grow, and I shal uphold mycovenant with you.9 Respiciam vos et crescere faciam; multiplicabimini, et firmabo pactum meum vobiscum.
10 "Having eaten al you need of last year's harvest, you will throw out the old to make room for the new.10 Comedetis vetusta congregata priorum messium; et vetera, novis supervenientibus, proicietis.
11 "I shal fix my home among you and never reject you.11 Ponam habitaculum meum in medio vestri, et non abominabitur vos anima mea.
12 I shall live among you; I shall be your God and you will be my people,12 Ambulabo inter vos et ero vester Deus, vosque eritis populus meus.
13 I, Yahweh your God, who brought you out of Egypt so that you should be their slaves no longer, andwho broke the bonds of your yoke and made you walk with head held high.13 Ego Dominus Deus vester, qui eduxi vos de terra Aegyptiorum, ne serviretis eis, et qui confregi vectes iugi vestri, ut incederetis erecti.
14 "But if you wil not listen to me and do not put all these commandments into practice,14 Quod si non audieritis me nec feceritis omnia mandata haec,
15 if you reject my laws and detest my customs, and you break my covenant by not putting al mycommandments into practice,15 si spreveritis leges meas, et iudicia mea contempserit anima vestra, ut non faciatis omnia, quae a me constituta sunt, et ad irritum perducatis pactum meum,
16 this is how I shal treat you: "I shal subject you to terror, consumption and fever, making you dim ofsight and short of breath. You wil sow your seed in vain, for your enemies wil eat it.16 ego quoque haec faciam vobis: visitabo vos in terrore repentino, in tabe et ardore, qui conficiant oculos et consumant animam, frustra seretis sementem, quae ab hostibus devorabitur.
17 I shall turn against you and you wil be defeated by your enemies. Your foes wil have the masteryover you, and you wil flee when no one is pursuing you.17 Ponam faciem meam contra vos, et corruetis coram hostibus vestris et subiciemini his, qui oderunt vos, et fugietis, nemine persequente.
18 "And if, in spite of this, you will not listen to me, I shal punish you seven times over for your sins.18 Sin autem nec sic oboedieritis mihi, addam correptiones vestras septuplum propter peccata vestra
19 I shall break your proud strength. I shal make the sky like iron for you, and your soil like bronze.19 et conteram superbiam duritiae vestrae. Daboque caelum vobis desuper sicut ferrum et terram aeneam.
20 You wil wear out your strength in vain, your land will not yield its produce, nor the trees of the countrytheir fruit.20 Consumetur incassum robur vestrum: non proferet terra germen, nec arbores poma praebebunt.
21 "And if you go against me and wil not listen to me, I shall heap seven times more plagues on you foryour sins.21 Si ambulaveritis ex adverso mihi nec volueritis audire me, addam plagas vestras usque in septuplum propter peccata vestra;
22 I shall send wild animals to attack you and rob you of your children, destroy your cattle and reduceyour numbers until your roads are deserted.22 emittamque in vos bestias agri, quae absque liberis vos faciant et deleant pecora vestra et ad paucitatem vos redigant, desertaeque fiant viae vestrae.
23 "And if that does not reform you, and you stil go against me,23 Quod si nec sic volueritis recipere disciplinam, sed ambulaveritis ex adverso mihi,
24 then I shal go against you and punish you another seven times over for your sins.24 ego quoque contra vos adversus incedam et percutiam vos septies propter peccata vestra.
25 I shall bring the sword on you, which will avenge the covenant, and when you huddle inside yourtowns, I shal send pestilence among you, and you will fal into the enemy's clutches.25 inducamque super vos gladium ultorem foederis mei; cumque confugeritis in urbes vestras, mittam pestilentiam in medio vestri, et trademini hostium manibus.
26 When I take away the bread which supports you, ten women wil be able to bake your bread in oneoven and wil then dole your bread out by weight; you wil eat but not be satisfied.26 Postquam confregero vobis baculum panis, coquent decem mulieres in uno clibano panem vestrum et reddent eum ad pondus, et comedetis et non saturabimini.
27 "And if, in spite of this, you will not listen to me but go against me,27 Sin autem nec per haec audieritis me, sed ambulaveritis contra me,
28 I shall go against you in fury and punish you seven times over for your sins.28 et ego incedam adversus vos in furore contrario; et corripiam vos septem plagis propter peccata vestra,
29 You wil eat the flesh of your own sons, you wil eat the flesh of your own daughters.29 ita ut comedatis carnes filiorum et filiarum vestrarum.
30 I shall destroy your high places and smash your incense-altars; I shal pile your corpses on thecorpses of your foul idols and shall reject you.30 Destruam excelsa vestra et thymiamateria confringam et ponam cadavera vestra super cadavera idolorum vestrorum, et abominabitur vos anima mea,
31 I shall reduce your cities to ruins; I shal lay waste your sanctuary and refuse to inhale from yousmel s intended to please.31 in tantum ut urbes vestras redigam in solitudinem et deserta faciam sanctuaria vestra nec recipiam ultra odorem suavissimum.
32 I shall make such a desolation of the country that your enemies who come to live there wil beappal ed by it.32 Disperdamque terram vestram; et stupebunt super ea inimici vestri, cum habitatores illius fuerint.
33 And I shal scatter you among the nations. I shal unsheathe the sword against you, reducing yourcountry to desert and your towns to ruins.33 Vos autem dispergam in gentes et evaginabo post vos gladium; eritque terra vestra deserta et civitates dirutae.
34 Then the country wil indeed observe its Sabbaths, al the while it lies deserted, while you are in thecountry of your enemies. Then indeed the country wil rest and observe its Sabbaths.34 Tunc placebunt terrae sabbata sua cunctis diebus solitudinis suae; quando fueritis in terra hostili, sabbatizabit et sabbata sua supplebit.
35 And as it lies deserted it will rest, as it never did on your Sabbaths when you were living there.35 Cunctis diebus solitudinis sabbatizabit, eo quod non requieverit in sabbatis vestris, quando habitabatis in ea.
36 I shall strike such fear into the hearts of those of you who survive in the countries of their enemiesthat the sound of a fal ing leaf will set them fleeing; they wil flee as though fleeing from the sword, and fal whenno one is pursuing.36 Et, qui de vobis remanserint, dabo pavorem in cordibus eorum in regionibus hostium; terrebit eos sonitus folii volantis, et ita fugient quasi gladium; cadent, nullo persequente.
37 They will stumble over one another as though fleeing before the sword, when no one is pursuing. You wil be powerless to stand up to your enemies;37 Et corruent singuli super fratres suos quasi bella fugientes, nemine persequente. Nemo vestrum inimicis audebit resistere.
38 you wil perish among the nations, and the land of your enemies wil swal ow you up.38 Peribitis inter gentes, et hostilis vos terra consumet.
39 Those of you who survive wil pine away in their guilt in the countries of their enemies and, bearingthe guilt of their ancestors too, wil pine away like them.39 Quod si et de vobis aliqui remanserint, tabescent in iniquitatibus suis in terris inimicorum vestrorum et propter peccata patrum suorum cum ipsis tabescent.
40 "Then they shal admit their guilt and that of their ancestors and their infidelities against me, andfurther, their setting themselves against me.40 Et confitebuntur iniquitates suas et maiorum suorum, quibus praevaricati sunt in me et ambulaverunt ex adverso mihi,
41 "I in my turn wil go against them and bring them into the land of their enemies. Then theiruncircumcised hearts wil grow humble and then they wil accept the punishment for their guilt.41 ut et ego ambularem contra eos et inducerem illos in terram hostilem; vel tunc humiliabitur incircumcisum cor eorum, et tunc expiabunt pro impietatibus suis.
42 I shall remember my covenant with Jacob, I shal remember my covenant with Isaac and mycovenant with Abraham; and I shal remember the country too.42 Et recordabor foederis mei, quod pepigi cum Iacob et Isaac et Abraham. Terrae quoque memor ero,
43 "Abandoned, the country wil keep its Sabbaths, as it lies deserted in their absence, and they wilhave to accept the punishment for their guilt, since they detested my customs and rejected my laws.43 quae, cum relicta fuerit ab eis, complacebit sibi in sabbatis suis patiens solitudinem propter illos. Ipsi vero expiabunt pro peccatis suis, eo quod abiecerint iudicia mea et leges meas despexerint.
44 "Yet, in spite of al this, when they are in the land of their enemies, I shall not so utterly reject ordetest them as to destroy them completely and break my covenant with them; for I am Yahweh their God.44 Et tamen, etiam cum essent in terra hostili, non penitus abieci eos neque sic despexi, ut consumerentur, et irritum facerem pactum meum cum eis. Ego enim sum Dominus, Deus eorum.
45 For their sake I shall remember the covenant I made with those first generations that I brought out ofEgypt while other nations watched, so that I should be their God, I, Yahweh." '45 Et recordabor eis foederis cum maioribus, quos eduxi de terra Aegypti in conspectu gentium, ut essem Deus eorum. Ego Dominus ”.
46 Such were the decrees, customs and laws which Yahweh established between himself and theIsraelites on Mount Sinai through Moses.46 Haec sunt iudicia atque praecepta et leges, quas dedit Dominus inter se et inter filios Israel in monte Sinai per manum Moysi.
