1 Ama itaque Dominum Deum tuum et custodi obser vationem eius et praecepta, iudicia atque mandata omni tempore.	1 “And so, love the Lord your God, and observe his precepts and ceremonies, his judgments and commandments, at all times.
2 Cognoscite hodie, quae ignorant filii vestri, qui non viderunt disciplinam Domini Dei vestri, magnalia eius et robustam manum extentumque brachium,	2 Acknowledge, on this day, the things that your sons did not know. For they did not see the chastisements of the Lord your God, his great acts, and powerful hand, and outstretched arm,
3 signa et opera, quae fecit in medio Aegypti pharaoni regi et universae terrae eius	3 the signs and works that he did in the midst of Egypt, to Pharaoh, the king, and to his entire land,
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;	4 and to the entire army of the Egyptians, and to their horses and chariots: how the waters of the Red Sea covered them as they were pursuing you, and how the Lord wiped them away, even to the present day;
5 vobisque, quae fecerit in solitudine, donec veniretis ad hunc locum;	5 and the things that he accomplished for you in the wilderness, until you arrived at this place;
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.	6 and to Dathan and Abiram, sons of Eliab, who was the son of Reuben, those whom the earth, opening its mouth, engulfed with their households and tents, and with their entire substance which they had in the midst of Israel.
7 Oculi vestri viderunt omnia opera Domini magna, quae fecit,	7 Your eyes have seen all the great works of the Lord, which he has accomplished,
8 ut custodiatis universa mandata, quae ego hodie praecipio vobis, ut roboremini et possitis introire et possidere terram, ad quam ingredimini,	8 so that you would keep all his commandments, which I entrust to you this day, and so that you would be able to enter and possess the land, toward which you are advancing,
9 multoque in ea vivatis tempore, quam sub iuramento pollicitus est Dominus patribus vestris et semini eorum, lacte et melle manantem.	9 and so that you may live, for a long time, in the land which the Lord promised under oath to your fathers, and to their offspring, a land flowing with milk and honey.
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;	10 For the land, which you shall enter and possess, is not like the land of Egypt, from which you departed, where, when seed has been sown, waters are brought in by irrigation, in the manner of gardens.
11 sed montuosa est et campestris, de caelo exspectans pluvias,	11 Rather, it has mountainous regions and plains, which lay waiting for rain from heaven.
12 quam Dominus Deus tuus semper invisit, et oculi illius in ea sunt a principio anni usque ad finem eius.	12 And the Lord your God always visits it, and his eyes are upon it, from the beginning of the year, all the way to its end.
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,	13 So then, if you obey my commandments, which I am instructing to you this day, so that you love the Lord your God, and serve him with your whole heart and your whole soul,
14 dabo pluviam terrae vestrae temporaneam et serotinam in tempore suo, ut colligas frumentum et vinum et oleum,	14 he will give to your land the early rain and the late rain, so that you may gather your grain, and your wine, and your oil,
15 et dabit fenum ex agris ad pascenda iumenta, et ut ipse comedas ac satureris.	15 and your hay from the fields in order to feed your cattle, and so that you yourselves may eat and be satisfied.
16 Cavete, ne decipiatur cor vestrum, et recedatis a Domino serviatisque diis alienis et adoretis eos,	16 Be careful, lest perhaps your heart may be deceived, and you might withdraw from the Lord, and serve strange gods, and adore them.
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.	17 And the Lord, becoming angry, might close up heaven, so that the rain would not descend, nor would the earth produce her seedlings, and then you would quickly perish from the excellent land, which the Lord will give to you.
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.	18 Place these words of mine in your hearts and minds, and hang them as a sign on your hands, and arrange them between your eyes.
19 Docete ea filios vestros, de illis loquendo, quando sederis in domo tua et ambulaveris in via et accubueris atque surrexeris.	19 Teach your sons to meditate on them, when you sit in your house, and when you walk along the way, and when you lie down or rise up.
20 Scribes ea super postes domus tuae et portas tuas,	20 You shall write them upon the doorposts and the gates of your house,
21 ut multiplicentur dies tui et filiorum tuorum in terra, quam iuravit Dominus patribus tuis, ut daret eis, quamdiu caelum imminet terrae.	21 so that your days may be multiplied, and the days of your sons, in the land which the Lord swore to your fathers, that he would give it to them for as long as heaven is suspended above the earth.
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,	22 For if you keep the commandments which I am entrusting to you, and if you do them, so that you love the Lord your God, and walk in all his ways, clinging to him,
23 disperdet Dominus omnes gentes istas ante faciem vestram, et possidebitis eas, quae maiores et fortiores vobis sunt;	23 the Lord will scatter all these nations before your face, and you shall possess them, though they are greater and stronger than you.
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.	24 Every place upon which your foot shall tread will be yours. From the desert, and from Lebanon, from the great river Euphrates, as far as the western sea, shall be your borders.
25 Nullus stabit contra vos; terrorem vestrum et formidinem dabit Dominus Deus vester super omnem terram, quam calcaturi estis, sicut locutus est vobis.	25 No one will stand against you. The Lord your God will spread the terror and dread of you over all the land upon which you shall tread, just as he has spoken to you.
26 En propono in conspectu vestro hodie benedictionem et maledictionem:	26 Behold, I am setting forth in your sight today a blessing and a curse.
27 benedictionem, si oboedieritis mandatis Domini Dei vestri, quae ego hodie praecipio vobis;	27 It will be a blessing, if you obey the commandments of the Lord your God, which I am instructing to you this day.
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.	28 It will be a curse, if you do not obey the commandments of the Lord your God, but instead you withdraw from the way, which I am revealing to you now, and you walk after foreign gods that you have not known.
29 Cum introduxerit te Dominus Deus tuus in terram, ad quam pergis habitandam, pones benedictionem super montem Garizim, maledictionem super montem Hebal,	29 Yet truly, when the Lord your God will have led you into the land, to which you are traveling for a habitation, you shall place the blessing upon Mount Gerizim, the curse upon Mount Ebal,
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.	30 which are across the Jordan, behind the way which slopes toward the setting of the sun, in the land of the Canaanite, who lives in the plains opposite Gilgal, which is near the valley extending toward and entering a distant place.
31 Vos enim transibitis Iordanem, ut possideatis terram, quam Dominus Deus vester daturus est vobis, et habitetis in illa.	31 For you shall cross over the Jordan, so that you may possess the land which the Lord your God will give you, so that you may have it and possess it.
32 Videte ergo ut impleatis omnia praecepta atque iudicia, quae ego hodie ponam in conspectu vestro.	32 Therefore, see to it that you fulfill the ceremonies and judgments, which I am placing in your sight this day.”
