Deuteronomium 1

NOVA VULGATA	Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition
1 Haec sunt verba, quae locutus est Moyses ad omnem Israel trans Iordanem in solitudine, in Araba contra Suph, inter Pharan et Thophel et Laban et Aseroth et Dizahab.	1 These are the words that Moses spoke to all Israel beyond the Jordan in the wilderness, in the Arabah over against Suph, between Paran and Tophel, Laban, Hazeroth, and Dizahab.
2 Undecim dies de Horeb per viam montis Seir usque Cadesbarne.	2 It is eleven days' journey from Horeb by the way of Mount Seir to Kadesh-barnea.
3 Quadragesimo anno, undecimo mense, prima die mensis locutus est Moyses ad filios Israel omnia, quae praeceperat illi Dominus ut diceret eis.	3 And in the fortieth year, on the first day of the eleventh month, Moses spoke to the people of Israel according to all that the LORD had given him in commandment to them,
4 Postquam percussit Sehon regem Amorraeorum, qui habitavit in Hesebon, et Og regem Basan, qui mansit in Astharoth et in Edrai,	4 after he had defeated Sihon the king of the Amorites, who lived in Heshbon, and Og the king of Bashan, who lived in Ashtaroth and in Edre-i.
5 trans Iordanem in terra Moab coepitque Moyses explanare legem hanc et dicere:	5 Beyond the Jordan, in the land of Moab, Moses undertook to explain this law, saying,
6 “ Dominus Deus noster locutus est ad nos in Horeb dicens: “Sufficit vobis quod in hoc monte mansistis;	6 "The LORD our God said to us in Horeb, 'You have stayed long enough at this mountain;
7 convertimini et proficiscimini et venite ad montem Amorraeorum et ad omnes vicinos eius: in Araba atque montanis et in Sephela et in Nageb et iuxta litus maris, in terram Chananaeorum et in Libanum usque ad flumen magnum Euphraten.	7 turn and take your journey, and go to the hill country of the Amorites, and to all their neighbors in the Arabah, in the hill country and in the lowland, and in the Negeb, and by the seacoast, the land of the Canaanites, and Lebanon, as far as the great river, the river Euphrates.
8 En, inquit, tradidi vobis terram: ingredimini et possidete eam, super qua iuravit Dominus patribus vestris, Abraham, Isaac et Iacob, ut daret illam eis et semini eorum post eos”.	8 Behold, I have set the land before you; go in and take possession of the land which the LORD swore to your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give to them and to their descendants after them.'
9 Dixique vobis illo in tempore: Non possum solus sustinere vos;	9 "At that time I said to you, 'I am not able alone to bear you;
10 Dominus Deus vester multiplicavit vos, et estis hodie sicut stellae caeli plurimi.	10 the LORD your God has multiplied you, and behold, you are this day as the stars of heaven for multitude.
11 Dominus, Deus patrum vestrorum, addat ad hunc numerum multa milia et benedicat vobis, sicut locutus est vobis.	11 May the LORD, the God of your fathers, make you a thousand times as many as you are, and bless you, as he has promised you!
12 Non valeo solus vestra negotia sustinere et pondus ac iurgia;	12 How can I bear alone the weight and burden of you and your strife?
13 date vobis viros sapientes et gnaros, et quorum conversatio sit probata in tribubus vestris, ut ponam eos vobis principes.	13 Choose wise, understanding, and experienced men, according to your tribes, and I will appoint them as your heads.'
14 Tunc respondistis mihi: “Bona res est, quam vis facere”.	14 And you answered me, 'The thing that you have spoken is good for us to do.'
15 Tulique principes de tribubus vestris viros sapientes et probatos et constitui eos principes super vos: tribunos et centuriones et quinquagenarios ac decanos et praefectos operum pro tribubus vestris.	15 So I took the heads of your tribes, wise and experienced men, and set them as heads over you, commanders of thousands, commanders of hundreds, commanders of fifties, commanders of tens, and officers, throughout your tribes.
16 Praecepique iudicibus vestris in tempore illo: Audite causam fratrum vestrorum et, quod iustum est, iudicate, sive civis sit ille sive peregrinus.	16 And I charged your judges at that time, 'Hear the cases between your brethren, and judge righteously between a man and his brother or the alien that is with him.
17 Non accipietis personam in iudicio; ita parvum audietis ut magnum nec timebitis cuiusquam personam, quia Dei iudicium est. Quod si difficile vobis aliquid visum fuerit, referte ad me, et ego audiam.	17 You shall not be partial in judgment; you shall hear the small and the great alike; you shall not be afraid of the face of man, for the judgment is Gods; and the case that is too hard for you, you shall bring to me, and I will hear it.'
18 Praecepique vobis in tempore illo omnia, quae facere deberetis.	18 And I commanded you at that time all the things that you should do.
19 Profecti autem de Horeb transivimus per totam illam eremum maximam et terribilem, quam vidistis, per viam montis Amorraei, sicut praeceperat Dominus Deus noster nobis. Cumque venissemus in Cadesbarne,	19 "And we set out from Horeb, and went through all that great and terrible wilderness which you saw, on the way to the hill country of the Amorites, as the LORD our God commanded us; and we came to Kadesh-barnea.
20 dixi vobis: Venistis ad montem Amorraei, quem Dominus Deus noster daturus est nobis.	20 And I said to you, 'You have come to the hill country of the Amorites, which the LORD our God gives us.
21 Vide terram, quam Dominus Deus tuus dat tibi: ascende et posside eam, sicut locutus est tibi Dominus, Deus patrum tuorum; noli metuere nec quidquam paveas.	21 Behold, the LORD your God has set the land before you; go up, take possession, as the LORD, the God of your fathers, has told you; do not fear or be dismayed.'
22 Et accessistis ad me vos omnes atque dixistis: “Mittamus viros ante nos, qui considerent terram et renuntient de itinere, per quod debeamus ascendere, et de civitatibus, ad quas pergere”.	22 Then all of you came near me, and said, 'Let us send men before us, that they may explore the land for us, and bring us word again of the way by which we must go up and the cities into which we shall come.'
23 Cumque mihi sermo placuisset, misi ex vobis duodecim viros singulos de tribubus suis.	23 The thing seemed good to me, and I took twelve men of you, one man for each tribe;
24 Qui cum perrexissent et ascendissent in montana, venerunt usque ad Nehelescol et, considerata terra,	24 and they turned and went up into the hill country, and came to the Valley of Eshcol and spied it out.
25 sumentes de fructibus eius attulerunt ad nos atque dixerunt: “Bona est terra, quam Dominus Deus noster daturus est nobis”.	25 And they took in their hands some of the fruit of the land and brought it down to us, and brought us word again, and said, 'It is a good land which the LORD our God gives us.'
26 Et noluistis ascendere, sed increduli ad sermonem Domini Dei vestri	26 "Yet you would not go up, but rebelled against the command of the LORD your God;
27 murmurastis in tabernaculis vestris atque dixistis: “Odit nos Dominus et idcirco eduxit nos de terra Aegypti, ut traderet nos in manu Amorraei atque deleret.	27 and you murmured in your tents, and said, 'Because the LORD hated us he has brought us forth out of the land of Egypt, to give us into the hand of the Amorites, to destroy us.
28 Quo ascendemus? Fratres nostri terruerunt cor nostrum dicentes: Maxima multitudo est et nobis in statura procerior; urbes magnae et ad caelum usque munitae; etiam filios Enacim vidimus ibi”.	28 Whither are we going up? Our brethren have made our hearts melt, saying, "The people are greater and taller than we; the cities are great and fortified up to heaven; and moreover we have seen the sons of the Anakim there."'
29 Et dixi vobis: Nolite metuere nec timeatis eos.	29 Then I said to you, 'Do not be in dread or afraid of them.
30 Dominus Deus, qui ductor est vester, ipse pro vobis pugnabit, sicut fecit in Aegypto, vobis videntibus.	30 The LORD your God who goes before you will himself fight for you, just as he did for you in Egypt before your eyes,
31 Et in solitudine — ipse vidisti — portavit te Dominus Deus tuus, ut solet homo gestare parvulum filium suum, in omni via, per quam ambulastis, donec veniretis ad locum istum.	31 and in the wilderness, where you have seen how the LORD your God bore you, as a man bears his son, in all the way that you went until you came to this place.'
32 Et nec sic quidem credidistis Domino Deo vestro,	32 Yet in spite of this word you did not believe the LORD your God,
33 qui praecessit vos in via, et metatus est locum, in quo tentoria figere deberetis, nocte ostendens vobis iter per ignem et die per columnam nubis.	33 who went before you in the way to seek you out a place to pitch your tents, in fire by night, to show you by what way you should go, and in the cloud by day.
34 Cumque audisset Dominus vocem sermonum vestrorum, iratus iuravit et ait:	34 "And the LORD heard your words, and was angered, and he swore,
35 “Non videbit quispiam de viris generationis huius pessimae terram bonam, quam sub iuramento pollicitus sum patribus vestris,	35 'Not one of these men of this evil generation shall see the good land which I swore to give to your fathers,
36 praeter Chaleb filium Iephonne: ipse enim videbit eam, et ipsi dabo terram, quam calcavit, et filiis eius, quia adimplevit ut sequeretur Dominum”.	36 except Caleb the son of Jephunneh; he shall see it, and to him and to his children I will give the land upon which he has trodden, because he has wholly followed the LORD!'
37 Mihi quoque iratus Dominus propter vos dixit: “Nec tu ingredieris illuc;	37 The LORD was angry with me also on your account, and said, 'You also shall not go in there;
38 sed Iosue filius Nun minister tuus ipse intrabit illuc. Hunc robora, et ipse terram sorte dividat Israeli.	38 Joshua the son of Nun, who stands before you, he shall enter; encourage him, for he shall cause Israel to inherit it.
39 Parvuli vestri, de quibus dixistis quod captivi ducerentur, et filii, qui hodie boni ac mali ignorant distantiam, ipsi ingredientur; et ipsis dabo terram, et possidebunt eam.	39 Moreover your little ones, who you said would become a prey, and your children, who this day have no knowledge of good or evil, shall go in there, and to them I will give it, and they shall possess it.
40 Vos autem revertimini et abite in solitudinem per viam maris Rubri”.	40 But as for you, turn, and journey into the wilderness in the direction of the Red Sea.'
41 Et respondistis mihi: “Peccavimus Domino; nos ascendemus atque pugnabimus, sicut praecepit nobis Dominus Deus noster”. Cumque instructi armis pergeretis in montem,	41 "Then you answered me, 'We have sinned against the LORD; we will go up and fight, just as the LORD our God commanded us.' And every man of you girded on his weapons of war, and thought it easy to go up into the hill country.
42 ait mihi Dominus: “Dic ad eos: Nolite ascendere neque pugnetis, non enim sum vobiscum, ne cadatis coram inimicis vestris”.	42 And the LORD said to me, 'Say to them, Do not go up or fight, for I am not in the midst of you; lest you be defeated before your enemies.'
43 Locutus sum, et non audistis, sed adversantes imperio Domini et tumentes superbia ascendistis in montem.	43 So I spoke to you, and you would not hearken; but you rebelled against the command of the LORD, and were presumptuous and went up into the hill country.
44 Itaque egressus Amorraeus, qui habitat in monte illo, obviam vobis, persecutus est vos, sicut solent apes persequi, et cecidit vos de Seir usque Horma.	44 Then the Amorites who lived in that hill country came out against you and chased you as bees do and beat you down in Seir as far as Hormah.
45 Cumque reversi ploraretis coram Domino, non audivit vos nec voci vestrae voluit acquiescere.	45 And you returned and wept before the LORD; but the LORD did not hearken to your voice or give ear to you.
46 Sedistis ergo in Cades multo illo tempore, dum ibi mansistis.	46 So you remained at Kadesh many days, the days that you remained there.
