Deuteronomium 1

NOVA VULGATA	DOUAI-RHEIMS
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, which Moses spoke to all Israel beyond the Jordan, in the plain wilderness, over against the Red Sea, between Pharan and Thophel and Laban and Haseroth, where there is very much gold:
2 Undecim dies de Horeb per viam montis Seir usque Cadesbarne.	2 Eleven days' journey from Horeb by the way of Mount Seir to Cadesbarne.
3 Quadragesimo anno, undecimo mense, prima die mensis locutus est Moyses ad filios Israel omnia, quae praeceperat illi Dominus ut diceret eis.	3 In the fortieth year, the eleventh month, the first day of the month, Moses spoke to the children of Israel all that the Lord had commanded him to say 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 that he had slain Sehon king of the Amorrhites, who dwelt in Hesebon: and Og king of Basan who abode in Astaroth, and in Edrai,
5 trans Iordanem in terra Moab coepitque Moyses explanare legem hanc et dicere:
6 “ Dominus Deus noster locutus est ad nos in Horeb dicens: “Sufficit vobis quod in hoc monte mansistis;	6 l And you answered me: We have sinned against the Lord: we will go up and fight, as the Lord our God hath commanded. And when you went ready armed unto the 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 Beyond the Jordan in the land of Moab. And Moses began to expound the law, and to say:
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 The Lord our God spoke to us in Horeb, saying: You have stayed long enough in this mountain:
9 Dixique vobis illo in tempore: Non possum solus sustinere vos;	9 Turn you, and come to the mountain of the Amorrhites, and to the other places that are next to it, the plains and the hills and the vales towards the south, and by the sea shore, the land of the Chanaanites, and of Libanus, as far as the great river Euphrates.
10 Dominus Deus vester multiplicavit vos, et estis hodie sicut stellae caeli plurimi.	10 Behold, said he, I have delivered it to you: go in and possess it, concerning which the Lord swore to your fathers Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, that he would give it to them, and to their seed after them.
11 Dominus, Deus patrum vestrorum, addat ad hunc numerum multa milia et benedicat vobis, sicut locutus est vobis.	11 And I said to you at that time:
12 Non valeo solus vestra negotia sustinere et pondus ac iurgia;	12 I alone am not able to bear you: for the Lord your God hath multiplied you, and you are this day as the stars of heaven, for multitude.
13 date vobis viros sapientes et gnaros, et quorum conversatio sit probata in tribubus vestris, ut ponam eos vobis principes.	13 (The Lord God of your fathers add to this number many thousands, and bless you as he hath spoken.)
14 Tunc respondistis mihi: “Bona res est, quam vis facere”.	14 I alone am not able to bear your business, and the charge of you and your differences.
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 Let me have from among you wise and understanding men, and such whose conversation is approved among your tribes, that I may appoint them your rulers.
16 Praecepique iudicibus vestris in tempore illo: Audite causam fratrum vestrorum et, quod iustum est, iudicate, sive civis sit ille sive peregrinus.	16 Then you answered me: The thing is good which thou meanest to do.
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 And I took out of your tribes men wise and honourable, and appointed them rulers, tribunes, and centurions, and officers over fifties, and over tens, who might teach you all things.
18 Praecepique vobis in tempore illo omnia, quae facere deberetis.	18 And I commanded them, saying: Hear them, and judge that which is just: whether he be one of your country, or a stranger.
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 There shall be no difference of persons, you shall hear the little as well as the great: neither shall you respect any man's person, because it is the judgment of God. And if any thing seem hard to you, refer it to me, and I will hear it.
20 dixi vobis: Venistis ad montem Amorraei, quem Dominus Deus noster daturus est nobis.	20 And I commanded you all things that you were to do.
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 And departing from Horeb, we passed through the terrible and vast wilderness, which you saw, by the way of the mountain of the Amorrhite, as the Lord our God had commanded us. And when we were come into Cadesbarne,
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 I said to you: You are come to the mountain of the Amorrhite, which the Lord our God will give to us.
23 Cumque mihi sermo placuisset, misi ex vobis duodecim viros singulos de tribubus suis.	23 See the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee: go up and possess it, as the Lord our God hath spoken to thy fathers: fear not, nor be any way discouraged.
24 Qui cum perrexissent et ascendissent in montana, venerunt usque ad Nehelescol et, considerata terra,	24 And you came all to me, and said: Let us send men who may view the land, and bring us word what way we shall go up, and to what cities we shall go.
25 sumentes de fructibus eius attulerunt ad nos atque dixerunt: “Bona est terra, quam Dominus Deus noster daturus est nobis”.	25 And because the saying pleased me, I sent of you twelve men, one of every tribe:
26 Et noluistis ascendere, sed increduli ad sermonem Domini Dei vestri	26 Who, when they had set forward and had gone up to the mountains, came as far as the valley of the cluster: and having viewed the land,
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 Taking of the fruits thereof, to shew its fertility, they brought them to us, and said: The land is good, which the Lord our God will give 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 And you would not go up, but being incredulous to the word of the Lord our God,
29 Et dixi vobis: Nolite metuere nec timeatis eos.	29 You murmured in your tents, and said: The Lord hateth us, and therefore he hath brought us out of the land of Egypt, that he might deliver us into the hand of the Amorrhite, and destroy us.
30 Dominus Deus, qui ductor est vester, ipse pro vobis pugnabit, sicut fecit in Aegypto, vobis videntibus.	30 Whither shall we go up? the messengers have terrified our hearts, saying: The multitude is very great, and taller than we: the cities are great, and walled up td the sky, we have seen the sons of the Enacims there.
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 I said to you: Fear not, neither be ye afraid of them:
32 Et nec sic quidem credidistis Domino Deo vestro,	32 The Lord God, who is your leader, himself will fight for you, as he did in Egypt in the sight of all.
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 And in the wilderness (as thou hast seen) the Lord thy God hath carried thee, as a man is wont to carry his little son, all the way that you have come, until you came to this place.
34 Cumque audisset Dominus vocem sermonum vestrorum, iratus iuravit et ait:	34 And yet for all this you did not believe the Lord your God,
35 “Non videbit quispiam de viris generationis huius pessimae terram bonam, quam sub iuramento pollicitus sum patribus vestris,	35 Who went before you in the way, and marked out the place, wherein you should pitch your tents, in the night shewing you the way by fire, and in the day by the pillar of a cloud.
36 praeter Chaleb filium Iephonne: ipse enim videbit eam, et ipsi dabo terram, quam calcavit, et filiis eius, quia adimplevit ut sequeretur Dominum”.	36 And when the Lord had heard the voice of your words, he was angry and swore, and said:
37 Mihi quoque iratus Dominus propter vos dixit: “Nec tu ingredieris illuc;	37 Not one of the men of this wicked generation shall see the good land, which I promised with an oath to your fathers:
38 sed Iosue filius Nun minister tuus ipse intrabit illuc. Hunc robora, et ipse terram sorte dividat Israeli.	38 Except Caleb the son of Jephone: for he shall see it, and to him I will give the land that he hath trodden upon, and to his children, because he hath followed the Lord.
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 Neither is his indignation against the people to be wondered at, since the Lord was angry with me also on your account, and said: Neither shalt thou go in thither.
40 Vos autem revertimini et abite in solitudinem per viam maris Rubri”.	40 But Josue the son of Nun, thy minister, he shall go in for thee: exhort and encourage him, and he shall divide the land by lot to Israel.
41 Et respondistis mihi: “Peccavimus Domino; nos ascendemus atque pugnabimus, sicut praecepit nobis Dominus Deus noster”. Cumque instructi armis pergeretis in montem,	41 Your children, of whom you said that they should be led away captives, and your sons who know not this day the difference of good and evil, they shall go in: and to them I will give the land, and they shall possess it.
42 ait mihi Dominus: “Dic ad eos: Nolite ascendere neque pugnetis, non enim sum vobiscum, ne cadatis coram inimicis vestris”.	42 But return you and go into the wilderness by the way of the Red Sea.
43 Locutus sum, et non audistis, sed adversantes imperio Domini et tumentes superbia ascendistis in montem.	43 dummy verses inserted by amos
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 The Lord said to me: Say to them: Go not up, and fight not, for I am not with you: lest you fall before your enemies.
45 Cumque reversi ploraretis coram Domino, non audivit vos nec voci vestrae voluit acquiescere.	45 I spoke, and you hearkened not: but resisting the commandment of the Lord, and swelling with pride, you went up into the mountain.
46 Sedistis ergo in Cades multo illo tempore, dum ibi mansistis.	46 And the Amorrhite that dwelt in the mountains coming out, and meeting you, chased you, as bees do: and made slaughter of you from Seir as far as Horma.
	47 And when you returned and wept before the Lord, he heard you not, neither would he yield to ;your voice.
