NOVA VULGATA	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 Abiit itaque Moyses et locu tus est omnia verba haec ad universum Israel	1 And so, Moses went out, and he spoke all these words to all of Israel.
2 et dixit ad eos: “ Centum viginti annorum sum hodie, non possum ultra egredi et ingredi, praesertim cum et Dominus dixerit mihi: “Non transibis Iordanem istum”.	2 And he said to them: “Today, I am one hundred and twenty years old. I am no longer able to go out and return, especially since the Lord has also said to me, ‘You shall not cross this Jordan.’
3 Dominus Deus tuus ipse transibit ante te; ipse delebit gentes has in conspectu tuo, et possidebis eas, et Iosue transibit ante te, sicut locutus est Dominus.	3 Therefore, the Lord your God will go across before you. He himself will abolish all these nations in your sight, and you shall possess them. And this man Joshua shall go across before you, just as the Lord has spoken.
4 Facietque Dominus eis, sicut fecit Sehon et Og regibus Amorraeorum et terrae eorum delevitque eos.	4 And the Lord will do to them just as he did to Sihon and Og, the kings of the Amorites, and to their land, and he will wipe them away.
5 Cum ergo et hos tradiderit vobis, similiter facietis eis, sicut praecepi vobis.	5 Therefore, when the Lord will have delivered these to you also, you shall act similarly toward them, just as I have instructed you.
6 Viriliter agite et confortamini; nolite timere nec paveatis a conspectu eorum, quia Dominus Deus tuus ipse est ductor tuus et non dimittet nec derelinquet te ”.	6 Act manfully and be strengthened. Do not be afraid, and do not dread at the sight of them. For the Lord your God himself is your commander, and he will neither dismiss nor abandon you.”
7 Vocavitque Moyses Iosue et dixit ei coram omni Israel: “ Confortare et esto robustus; tu enim introduces populum istum in terram, quam daturum se patribus eorum iuravit Dominus, et tu eam sorte divides eis.	7 And Moses called Joshua, and, before all of Israel, he said to him: ‘Be strong and valiant. For you shall lead this people into the land which the Lord swore that he would give to their fathers, and you shall divide it by lot.
8 Et Dominus, qui ductor tuus est, ipse erit tecum, non dimittet nec derelinquet te; noli timere nec paveas ”.	8 And the Lord, who is your commander, will himself be with you. He will neither renounce nor abandon you. Do not be afraid, and do not dread.”
9 Et scripsit Moyses legem hanc et tradidit eam sacerdotibus filiis Levi, qui portabant arcam foederis Domini, et cunctis senioribus Israel;	9 And so, Moses wrote this law, and he handed it to the priests, the sons of Levi, who carried the ark of the covenant of the Lord, and to all the elders of Israel.
10 praecepitque eis dicens: “ Post septem annos, anno remissionis, in sollemnitate Tabernaculorum,	10 And he instructed them, saying: “After seven years, in the year of remission, at the solemnity of the Feast of Tabernacles,
11 convenientibus cunctis ex Israel, ut appareant in conspectu Domini Dei tui in loco, quem elegerit, leges verba legis huius coram omni Israel, audientibus eis;	11 when all of Israel has convened in order to appear in the sight of the Lord your God, in the place which the Lord will choose, you shall read the words of this law before all of Israel, in their hearing.
12 congrega populum tam viros quam mulieres, parvulos et advenas, qui sunt intra portas tuas, ut audientes discant et timeant Dominum Deum vestrum et custodiant impleantque omnes sermones legis huius;	12 And when the people have gathered together, men as well as women and little children, and the new arrivals who are within your gates, they shall listen so that they may learn, and may fear the Lord your God, and may keep and fulfill all the words of this law,
13 filii quoque eorum, qui nunc ignorant, audiant et discant timere Dominum Deum vestrum cunctis diebus, quibus versamini in terra, ad quam vos, Iordane transmisso, pergitis obtinendam ”.	13 and also so that their sons, who are now ignorant, may be able to listen, and may fear the Lord their God all the days that they live in the land to which you will travel, crossing the Jordan in order to obtain it.”
14 Et ait Dominus ad Moysen: “ Ecce prope sunt dies mortis tuae; voca Iosue, et state in tabernaculo conventus, ut praecipiam ei ”. Abierunt ergo Moyses et Iosue et steterunt in tabernaculo conventus;	14 And the Lord said to Moses: “Behold, the days of your death draw near. Call Joshua, and stand in the tabernacle of the testimony, so that I may instruct him.” Therefore, Moses and Joshua went and stood in the tabernacle of the testimony.
15 apparuitque Dominus ibi in columna nubis, quae stetit in introitu tabernaculi.	15 And the Lord appeared there, in a pillar of cloud, which stood at the entrance of the tabernacle.
16 Dixitque Dominus ad Moysen: “ Ecce tu dormies cum patribus tuis, et populus iste consurgens fornicabitur post deos alienos terrae, ad quam ingredietur; ibi derelinquet me et irritum faciet foedus, quod pepigi cum eo.	16 And the Lord said to Moses: “Behold, you shall sleep with your fathers, and this people will rise up and will fornicate after foreign gods, in the land which they will enter so that they may live in it. In that place, they will forsake me, and they will make void the covenant that I have formed with them.
17 Et irascetur furor meus contra eum in die illo, et derelinquam eos et abscondam faciem meam ab eis, et erit in devorationem; invenient eum mala multa et afflictiones, ita ut dicat in illo die: “Vere, quia non est Deus mecum, invenerunt me haec mala”.	17 And my fury will be enraged against them in that day. And I will abandon them, and I will hide my face from them, and they shall be devoured. Every evil and affliction will find them, so much so that they will say in that day: ‘Truly, it is because God is not with me that these evils have found me.’
18 Ego autem abscondam et celabo faciem meam in die illo, propter omnia mala, quae fecit, quia secutus est deos alienos.	18 But I will hide myself, and I will conceal my face in that day, because of all the evils that they have done, because they have followed strange gods.
19 Nunc itaque scribite vobis canticum istud, et doce filios Israel, ut memoriter teneant et ore decantent, ut sit mihi carmen istud pro testimonio inter filios Israel.	19 And so, write this canticle now, and teach it to the sons of Israel, so that they may retain it in memory, and may chant it by mouth, and so that this verse may be a testimony to me among the sons of Israel.
20 Introducam enim eum in terram, pro qua iuravi patribus eius, lacte et melle manantem. Cumque comederit et saturatus crassusque fuerit, avertetur ad deos alienos, et servient eis detrahentque mihi et irritum facient pactum meum.	20 For I will lead them into the land, about which I swore to their fathers, a land flowing with milk and honey. And when they have eaten, and have been satiated and fattened, they will turn aside to foreign gods, and they will serve them. And they will disparage me, and they will nullify my covenant.
21 Postquam invenerint eum mala multa et afflictiones, respondebit ei canticum istud pro testimonio, quod nulla delebit oblivio ex ore seminis sui; scio enim cogitationes eius, quae facit hodie, antequam introducam eum in terram, quam ei pollicitus sum ”.	21 And after many evils and afflictions have overwhelmed them, this canticle will answer them as a testimony; it shall never pass into oblivion, away from the mouths of their offspring. For I know their thoughts and what they are about to do today, even before I lead them into the land which I have promised to them.”
22 Scripsit ergo Moyses canticum istud in die illo et docuit filios Israel.	22 Therefore, Moses wrote the canticle, and he taught it to the sons of Israel.
23 Praecepitque Dominus Iosue filio Nun et ait: “ Confortare et esto robustus; tu enim introduces filios Israel in terram, quam eis pollicitus sum, et ego ero tecum ”.	23 And the Lord instructed Joshua, the son of Nun, and he said: “Be strong and valiant. For you shall lead the sons of Israel into the land which I have promised, and I will be with you.”
24 Postquam ergo scripsit Moyses verba legis huius in volumine atque complevit,	24 Therefore, after Moses had written the words of this law in a volume, and had finished it,
25 praecepit Levitis, qui portabant arcam foederis Domini, dicens:	25 he instructed the Levites, who carried the ark of the covenant of the Lord, saying:
26 “ Tollite librum legis istum et ponite eum in latere arcae foederis Domini Dei vestri, ut sit ibi contra te in testimonium.	26 “Take this book, and place it inside the ark of the covenant of the Lord your God, so that it may be there as a testimony against you.
27 Ego enim scio contentionem tuam et cervicem tuam durissimam. Adhuc vivente me vobiscum, semper contentiose egistis contra Dominum; quanto magis cum mortuus fuero?	27 For I know your contentiousness and your very stiff neck. Even while I am still living and entering with you, you have always acted with contention against the Lord. How much more so when I will be dead?
28 Congregate ad me omnes maiores natu per tribus vestras atque praefectos vestros, et loquar audientibus eis sermones istos et invocabo contra eos caelum et terram.	28 Gather to me all those greater by birth throughout your tribes, as well as your teachers, and I will speak these words in their hearing, and I will call heaven and earth as witnesses against them.
29 Novi enim quod post mortem meam inique agetis et declinabitis de via, quam praecepi vobis, et occurrent vobis mala in extremo tempore, quando feceritis malum in conspectu Domini, ut irritetis eum per opera manuum vestrarum ”.	29 For I know that, after my death, you will act with iniquity, and you will quickly depart from the way that I have instructed to you. And so, evils will meet you in the end time, when you will have done evil in the sight of the Lord so as to provoke him through the works of your hands.”
30 Locutus est ergo Moyses, audiente universo coetu Israel, verba carminis huius et ad finem usque complevit:	30 Thus did Moses speak, in the hearing of the entire assembly of Israel, the words of this canticle, and he completed it to its very end.
