CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAINDOUAI-RHEIMS
1 I am the Lord your God. You shall not make for yourselves an idol or a graven image. Neither shall you erect a monument, or set up a conspicuous stone in your land, in order that you may adore it. For I am the Lord your God.1 I am the Lord your God: you shall not make to yourselves any idol or graven thing, neither shall you erect pillars, nor set up a remarkable stone in your land, to adore it: for I am the Lord your God.
2 Observe my Sabbaths, and be fearful toward my Sanctuary. I am the Lord.2 Keep my sabbaths, and reverence my sanctuary: I am the Lord.
3 If you will walk in my precepts, and observe my commandments, and accomplish them, I will give to you rain in its time,3 If you walk in my precepts, and keep my commandments, and do them, I will give you rein in due seasons.
4 and the ground shall bring forth its seedlings, and the trees shall be filled again with fruit.4 And the ground shall bring forth its increase, and the trees shall be filled with fruit.
5 The threshing of the harvest shall last until the vintage, and the vintage shall overtake the sowing. And you shall eat your bread to fullness, and you shall live in your land without fear.5 The threshing of your harvest shall reach unto the vintage, and the vintage shall reach unto the sowing time: and you shall eat your bread to the full, and dwell in your land without fear.
6 I will give peace to your most distant regions. You will sleep, and there will be no one to strike you with terror. I will take away harmful wild beasts, and the sword will not cross your borders.6 I will give peace in your coasts: you shall sleep, and there shall be none to make you afraid. I will take away evil beasts: and the sword shall not pass through your quarters.
7 You will pursue your enemies, and they will fall down at the sight of you.7 You shall pursue your enemies, and they shall fall before you.
8 Five of yours will pursue a hundred foreigners, and a hundred of you will pursue ten thousand. Your enemies will fall by the sword in your sight.8 Five of yours shall pursue a hundred others, and a hundred of you ten thousand: your enemies shall fall before you by the sword.
9 I will look with favor upon you, and I will cause you to increase; you will be multiplied, and I will confirm my covenant with you.9 I will look on you, and make you increase: you shell be multiplied, and I will establish my covenant with you.
10 You will eat the oldest of what is old, and, when what is new arrives, you will throw away what is old.10 You shall eat the oldest of the old store, and, new coming on, you shall cast away the old.
11 I will set my tabernacle in your midst, and my soul will not cast you out.11 I will set my tabernacle in the midst of you, and my soul shall not cast you off.
12 I will walk among you, and I will be your God, and you shall be my people.12 I will walk among you, and will be your God, and you shall be my people.
13 I am the Lord your God, who led you away from the land of the Egyptians, lest you serve them, and who broke the chains around your necks, so that you would walk upright.13 I am the Lord your God: who have brought you out of the land of the Egyptians, that you should not serve them, and who have broken the chains of your necks, that you might go upright.
14 But if you will not listen to me, nor accomplish all of my commandments,14 But if you will not hear me, nor do all my commandments,
15 if you despise my laws, and disdain my judgments, so that you do not accomplish those things which have been established by me, and so that you lead my covenant away into nullification,15 If you despise my laws, and contemn my judgments so as not to do those things which are appointed by me, and to make void my covenant:
16 then I also will do these things to you. I will quickly visit you with destitution, and burning heat, which will waste away your eyes, and consume your lives. In vain will you sow your seed, which will be devoured by your enemies.16 I also will do these things to you: I will quickly visit you with poverty, and burning heat, which shall waste your eyes, and consume your lives. You shall sow your seed in vain, which shall be devoured by your enemies.
17 I will set my face against you, and you will fall down before your enemies, and you will be subjugated to those who hate you. You will flee, though no one pursues.17 I will set my face against you, and you shall fall down before your enemies, and shall be made subject to them that hate you, you shall flee when no man pursueth you.
18 But if you will not be obedient to me in this way, then I will add sevenfold to your chastisement, because of your sins.18 But if you will not yet for all this obey me: I will chastise you seven times more for your sins,
19 And I will crush the pride in your hardness, and I will give to you heaven above like iron, and the earth below like brass.19 And I will break the pride of your stubbornness, and I will make to you the heaven above as iron, and the earth as brass:
20 Your labor will be consumed to no purpose; the land will not bring forth seedlings, nor will the trees provide their fruit.20 Your labour shall be spent in vain, the ground shall not bring forth her increase, nor the trees yield their fruit.
21 If you walk as an adversary to me, and if you are not willing to listen to me, I will add sevenfold to your plagues, because of your sins.21 If you walk contrary to me, and will not hearken to me, I will bring seven times more plagues upon you for your sins:
22 And I will send upon you the wild beasts of the field, which will consume you and your cattle, and which will reduce everything to paucity, and cause your roadways to become desolate.22 And I will send in upon you the beasts of the held, to destroy you and your cattle, and make you few in number, and that your highways may be desolate.
23 But if you are not willing to receive discipline in this way, and you still walk as an adversary to me,23 And if even so you will not amend, but will walk contrary to me:
24 likewise, I will advance against you as an adversary, and I will strike you seven times, because of your sins.24 I also will walk contrary to you, and will strike you seven times for your sins.
25 And I will lead over you the sword that shall avenge my covenant. And when you will have fled into the cities, I will send a pestilence into your midst, and you will be delivered into the hands of your enemies.25 And I will bring in upon you the sword that shall avenge my covenant. And when you shall flee into the cities, I will send the pestilence in the midst of you, and you shall be delivered into the hands of your enemies,
26 After this, I will have broken the staff of your bread, so that ten women bake bread in one oven, and distribute it by weight. And you shall eat and not be filled.26 After I shall have broken the staff of your bread: so that ten women shall bake your bread in one oven, and give it out by weight: and you shall eat, and shall not be filled.
27 Then, if you will not listen to me through these things, and you still walk against me,27 But if you will not for all this hearken to me, but will walk against me:
28 then I also will advance against you, with an opposing fury, and I will chastise you with seven plagues, because of your sins:28 I will also go against you with opposite fury, and I will chastise you with seven plagues for your sins,
29 so much so that you will eat the flesh of your sons and your daughters.29 So that you shall eat the flesh of your sons and of your daughters.
30 I will destroy your high places, and I will break apart your false images. You will fall among the ruins of your idols, and my soul will abominate you:30 I will destroy your high places, and break your idols. You shall fall among the ruins of your idols, and my soul shall abhor you.
31 so much so that I will reduce your cities to a wilderness, and I will make your Sanctuaries desolate, and I will no longer accept the most sweet odors.31 Insomuch that I will bring your cities to be a wilderness, and I will make your sanctuaries desolate, and will receive no more your sweet odours.
32 And I will utterly ruin your land, and your enemies shall be stupefied at it, when they will have become its inhabitants.32 And I will destroy your land, and your enemies shall be astonished at it, when they shall be the inhabitants thereof.
33 Then I will scatter you among the Gentiles, and I will unsheathe the sword after you. And your land will be deserted, and your cities will be demolished.33 And I will scatter you among the Gentiles, and I will draw out the sword after you, and your land shall be desert, and your cities destroyed.
34 Then the land will be pleased by her Sabbaths, throughout all the days of her solitude. So, while you will be34 Then shell the land enjoy her sabbaths all the days of her desolation: when you shall be
35 in the land of the enemy, she will worship and rest in the Sabbath of her solitude, because she will not have rested in your Sabbaths, when you lived in her.35 In the enemy's land, she shall keep a sabbath, and rest in the sabbaths of her desolation, because she did not rest in your sabbaths when you dwelt therein.
36 And whoever of you will remain, I will send terror into their hearts in the regions of their enemies. The sound of a flying leaf will terrify them, and so they will flee, as if from the sword. They will fall, though no one pursues.36 And as to them that shall remain of you I will send fear in their hearts in the countries of their enemies, the sound of a flying leaf shall terrify them, and they shall flee as it were from the sword: they shall fall, when no man pursueth them,
37 And they will each fall upon their brothers, as if they were fleeing from wars; no one among you will dare to resist your foes.37 And they shall every one fall upon their brethren as fleeing from wars, none of you shall dare to resist your enemies.
38 You will perish among the Gentiles, and the land of the enemy will consume you.38 You shall perish among the Gentiles, and an enemy's land shall consume you.
39 But if some few of these still remain, they shall waste away in their iniquities, in the land of their enemies, and they will be afflicted, because of the sins of their fathers and their own sins,39 And if of them also some remain, they shall pine away in their iniquities, in the land of their enemies, and they shall be afflicted for the sins of their fathers, and their own:
40 until they confess their iniquities, and those of their ancestors, by which they have transgressed against me and walked as adversaries to me.40 Until they confess their iniquities and the iniquities of their ancestors, whereby they have transgressed me, and walked contrary unto me.
41 Therefore, I also will walk against them, and I will lead them into a hostile land, until their uncircumcised mind shall be ashamed. Then shall they pray on behalf of their impiety.41 Therefore I also will walk them, and bring them into their enemies' land until their uncircumcised mind be ashamed: then shall they pray for their sins.
42 And I will remember my covenant, which I formed with Jacob, and Isaac, and Abraham. I will also remember the land,42 And I will remember my covenant, that I made with Jacob, and Isaac, and Abraham. I will remember also the land:
43 which, when she will be left behind by them, shall be pleased by her Sabbaths, enduring solitude because of them. Yet truly, they shall pray for their sins, because they cast aside my judgments, and they despised my laws.43 Which when she shall be left by them, shall enjoy her sabbaths, being desolate for them. But they shall pray for their sins, because they rejected my judgments, and despised my laws.
44 And even after so much, when they were in the land of their enemy, I did not cast them off entirely, and I did not so despise them that they would be consumed, nor so that I would nullify my covenant with them. For I am the Lord their God.44 And yet for all that when they were in the land of their enemies, I did not cast them off altogether, neither did I so despise them that they should be quite consumed, and I should make void my covenant with them. For I am the Lord their God.
45 And I will remember my original covenant, when I led them away from the land of Egypt, in the sight of the Gentiles, so as to be their God. I am the Lord. These are the judgments, and precepts, and laws, which the Lord has granted between himself and the sons of Israel, on mount Sinai, by the hand of Moses.45 And I will remember my former covenant, when I brought them out of the land of Egypt, in the sight of the Gentiles, to be their God. I am the Lord. These are the judgments, and precepts, and laws, which the Lord gave between him and the children of Israel in mount Sinai by the hand of Moses.
