Deuteronomy 29

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	VULGATA
1 These are the words of the covenant which the Lord instructed Moses to form with the sons of Israel in the land of Moab, beside that covenant which he struck with them at Horeb.	1 Hæc sunt verba fœderis quod præcepit Dominus Moysi ut feriret cum filiis Israël in terra Moab : præter illud fœdus, quod cum eis pepigit in Horeb.
2 And Moses called all of Israel, and he said to them: “You have seen all the things that the Lord has done in your sight in the land of Egypt to Pharaoh, and to all his servants, and to his entire land:	2 Vocavitque Moyses omnem Israël, et dixit ad eos : Vos vidistis universa, quæ fecit Dominus coram vobis in terra Ægypti Pharaoni, et omnibus servis ejus, universæque terræ illius,
3 the great trials, which your eyes have seen, those immense signs and wonders.	3 tentationes magnas, quas viderunt oculi tui, signa illa, portentaque ingentia,
4 But the Lord has not given you an understanding heart, and seeing eyes, and ears that are able to hear, even to this present day.	4 et non dedit vobis Dominus cor intelligens, et oculos videntes, et aures quæ possunt audire, usque in præsentem diem.
5 He led you for forty years through the desert. Your garments have not been worn out, nor have the shoes on your feet been consumed by age.	5 Adduxit vos quadraginta annis per desertum : non sunt attrita vestimenta vestra, nec calceamenta pedum vestrorum vetustate consumpta sunt.
6 You did not eat bread, nor did you drink wine or liquor, so that you would know that I am the Lord your God.	6 Panem non comedistis, vinum et siceram non bibistis : ut sciretis quia ego sum Dominus Deus vester.
7 And you arrived at this place. And Sihon, the king of Heshbon, and Og, the king of Bashan, went out to meet us in battle. And we struck them down.	7 Et venistis ad hunc locum : egressusque est Sehon rex Hesebon, et Og rex Basan, occurrentes nobis ad pugnam. Et percussimus eos,
8 And we took their land and delivered it as a possession to Ruben and to Gad, and to half of the tribe of Manasseh.	8 et tulimus terram eorum, ac tradidimus possidendam Ruben et Gad, et dimidiæ tribui Manasse.
9 Therefore, keep the words of this covenant, and fulfill them, so that you may understand all that you are doing.	9 Custodite ergo verba pacti hujus, et implete ea : ut intelligatis universa quæ facitis.
10 Today, you all stand in the sight of the Lord your God: your leaders, and tribes, and those greater by birth, and teachers, all the people of Israel,	10 Vos statis hodie cuncti coram Domino Deo vestro, principes vestri, et tribus, ac majores natu, atque doctores, omnis populus Israël,
11 your children and wives, and the new arrival who dwells with you in the camp, aside from those who cut wood, and those who bring water,	11 liberi et uxores vestræ, et advena qui tecum moratur in castris, exceptis lignorum cæsoribus, et his qui comportant aquas :
12 so that you may cross into the covenant of the Lord your God, and into the oath which the Lord your God strikes with you today.	12 ut transeas in fœdere Domini Dei tui, et in jurejurando quod hodie Dominus Deus tuus percutit tecum :
13 So shall he raise you up as a people to himself, and so shall he be your God, just as he has spoken to you, and just as he swore to your fathers: Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.	13 ut suscitet te sibi in populum, et ipse sit Deus tuus sicut locutus est tibi, et sicut juravit patribus tuis, Abraham, Isaac, et Jacob.
14 And I am not forming this covenant and confirm these oaths with you alone,	14 Nec vobis solis ego hoc fœdus ferio, et hæc juramenta confirmo,
15 but with all those who are present as well as those who are absent.	15 sed cunctis præsentibus et absentibus.
16 For you know how we lived in the land of Egypt, and how we passed through the midst of nations. And when passing through them,	16 Vos enim nostis quomodo habitaverimus in terra Ægypti, et quomodo transierimus per medium nationum, quas transeuntes
17 you saw their abominations and filth, that is, their idols of wood and of stone, of silver and of gold, which they worshipped,	17 vidistis abominationes et sordes, id est, idola eorum, lignum et lapidem, argentum et aurum, quæ colebant.
18 so that there would not be among you man or woman, family or tribe, whose heart has been turned away this day from the Lord our God, so as to go and serve the gods of those nations. For then there would be among you a root springing forth gall and bitterness.	18 Ne forte sit inter vos vir aut mulier, familia aut tribus, cujus cor aversum est hodie a Domino Deo nostro, ut vadat et serviat diis illarum gentium : et sit inter vos radix germinans fel et amaritudinem.
19 And if he were to hear the words of this oath, he would bless himself in his own heart saying: ‘There will be peace for me, and I will walk in the depravity of my heart.’ And so, the one who is inebriated would consume the one who is thirsty.	19 Cumque audierit verba juramenti hujus, benedicat sibi in corde suo, dicens : Pax erit mihi, et ambulabo in pravitate cordis mei : et absumat ebria sitientem,
20 But the Lord would not ignore him. Instead, at that time, his fury and zealousness would be very greatly enflamed against that man, and all the curses which have been written in this volume would settle upon him. And the Lord would abolish his name from under heaven,	20 et Dominus non ignoscat ei : sed tunc quam maxime furor ejus fumet, et zelus contra hominem illum, et sedeant super eum omnia maledicta, quæ scripta sunt in hoc volumine : et deleat Dominus nomen ejus sub cælo,
21 and consume him unto perdition out of all the tribes of Israel, according to the curses which are contained in the book of this law and in the covenant.	21 et consumat eum in perditionem ex omnibus tribubus Israël, juxta maledictiones, quæ in libro legis hujus ac fœderis continentur.
22 And the subsequent generation would speak out, along with the sons who will be born afterward. And the sojourners, who will arrive from far away, will see the plagues of that land and the infirmities with which the Lord will have afflicted it,	22 Dicetque sequens generatio, et filii qui nascentur deinceps, et peregrini qui de longe venerint, videntes plagas terræ illius, et infirmitates, quibus eam afflixerit Dominus,
23 having burned it with sulphur and molten salt, so that it can no longer be sown. And certainly no greenery would spring up, as in the example of the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah, Admah and Zeboiim, which the Lord overturned with his wrath and fury.	23 sulphure, et salis ardore comburens, ita ut ultra non seratur, nec virens quippiam germinet, in exemplum subversionis Sodomæ et Gomorrhæ, Adamæ et Seboim, quas subvertit Dominus in ira et furore suo.
24 And so, all the nations would say: ‘Why has the Lord acted this way toward this land? What is this immense wrath of his fury?’	24 Et dicent omnes gentes : Quare sic fecit Dominus terræ huic ? quæ est hæc ira furoris ejus immensa ?
25 And they will respond: ‘Because they abandoned the covenant of the Lord, which he formed with their fathers, when he led them away from the land of Egypt.	25 Et respondebunt : Quia dereliquerunt pactum Domini, quod pepigit cum patribus eorum, quando eduxit eos de terra Ægypti :
26 And they have served foreign gods, and adored them, though they did not know them, and though they had not been allotted to them.	26 et servierunt diis alienis, et adoraverunt eos, quos nesciebant, et quibus non fuerant attributi :
27 For this reason, the fury of the Lord was enraged against this land, so as to lead over it all the curses which have been written in this volume.	27 idcirco iratus est furor Domini contra terram istam, ut induceret super eam omnia maledicta, quæ in hoc volumine scripta sunt :
28 And he has cast them out of their own land, with anger and fury, and with a very great indignation, and he has thrown them into a strange land, just as has been proven this day.’	28 et ejecit eos de terra sua in ira et in furore, et in indignatione maxima, projecitque in terram alienam, sicut hodie comprobatur.
29 These hidden things of the Lord our God have been revealed to us and to our sons in perpetuity, so that we may accomplish all the words of this law.”	29 Abscondita, Domino Deo nostro ; quæ manifesta sunt, nobis et filiis nostris usque in sempiternum, ut faciamus universa verba legis hujus.
