Deuteronomium 11

VULGATA	NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 Ama itaque Dominum Deum tuum, et observa præcepta ejus et cæremonias, judicia atque mandata, omni tempore.	1 "Love the LORD, your God, therefore, and always heed his charge: his statutes, decrees and commandments.
2 Cognoscite hodie quæ ignorant filii vestri, qui non viderunt disciplinam Domini Dei vestri, magnalia ejus et robustam manum, extentumque brachium,	2 It is not your children, who have not known it from experience, but you yourselves who must now understand the discipline of the LORD, your God; his majesty, his strong hand and outstretched arm;
3 signa et opera quæ fecit in medio Ægypti Pharaoni regi, et universæ terræ ejus,	3 the signs and deeds he wrought among the Egyptians, on Pharaoh, king of Egypt, and on all his land;
4 omnique exercitui Ægyptiorum, et equis ac curribus : quomodo operuerint eos aquæ maris Rubri, cum vos persequerentur, et deleverit eos Dominus usque in præsentem diem :	4 what he did to the Egyptian army and to their horses and chariots, engulfing them in the water of the Red Sea as they pursued you, and bringing ruin upon them even to this day;
5 vobisque quæ fecerit in solitudine donec veniretis ad hunc locum :	5 what he did for you in the desert until you arrived in this place;
6 et Dathan atque Abiron filiis Eliab, qui fuit filius Ruben : quos aperto ore suo terra absorbuit, cum domibus et tabernaculis, et universa substantia eorum, quam habebant in medio Israël.	6 and what he did to the Reubenites Dathan and Abiram, sons of Eliab, when the ground opened its mouth and swallowed them up out of the midst of Israel, with their families and tents and every living thing that belonged to them.
7 Oculi vestri viderunt opera Domini magna quæ fecit,	7 With your own eyes you have seen all these great deeds that the LORD has done.
8 ut custodiatis universa mandata illius, quæ ego hodie præcipio vobis, et possitis introire, et possidere terram, ad quam ingredimini,	8 Keep all the commandments, then, which I enjoin on you today, that you may be strong enough to enter in and take possession of the land into which you are crossing,
9 multoque in ea vivatis tempore : quam sub juramento pollicitus est Dominus patribus vestris, et semini eorum, lacte et melle manantem.	9 and that you may have long life on the land which the LORD swore to your fathers he would give to them and their descendants, a land flowing with milk and honey.
10 Terra enim, ad quam ingrederis possidendam, non est sicut terra Ægypti, de qua existi, ubi jacto semine in hortorum morem aquæ ducuntur irriguæ :	10 "For the land which you are to enter and occupy is not like the land of Egypt from which you have come, where you would sow your seed and then water it by hand, as in a vegetable garden.
11 sed montuosa est et campestris, de cælo expectans pluvias,	11 No, the land into which you are crossing for conquest is a land of hills and valleys that drinks in rain from the heavens,
12 quam Dominus Deus tuus semper invisit, et oculi illius in ea sunt a principio anni usque ad finem ejus.	12 a land which the LORD, your God, looks after; his eyes are upon it continually from the beginning of the year to the end.
13 Si ergo obedieritis mandatis meis, quæ ego hodie præcipio vobis, ut diligatis Dominum Deum vestrum, et serviatis ei in toto corde vestro, et in tota anima vestra :	13 If, then, you truly heed my commandments which I enjoin on you today, loving and serving the LORD, your God, with all your heart and all your soul,
14 dabit pluviam terræ vestræ temporaneam et serotinam, ut colligatis frumentum, et vinum, et oleum,	14 I will give the seasonal rain to your land, the early rain and the late rain, that you may have your grain, wine and oil to gather in;
15 fœnumque ex agris ad pascenda jumenta, et ut ipsi comedatis ac saturemini.	15 and I will bring forth grass in your fields for your animals. Thus you may eat your fill.
16 Cavete ne forte decipiatur cor vestrum, et recedatis a Domino, serviatisque diis alienis, et adoretis eos :	16 But be careful lest your heart be so lured away that you serve other gods and worship them.
17 iratusque Dominus claudat cælum, et pluviæ non descendant, nec terra det germen suum, pereatisque velociter de terra optima, quam Dominus daturus est vobis.	17 For then the wrath of the LORD will flare up against you and he will close up the heavens, so that no rain will fall, and the soil will not yield its crops, and you will soon perish from the good land he is giving you.
18 Ponite hæc verba mea in cordibus et in animis vestris, et suspendite ea pro signo in manibus, et inter oculos vestros collocate.	18 "Therefore, take these words of mine into your heart and soul. Bind them at your wrist as a sign, and let them be a pendant on your forehead.
19 Docete filios vestros ut illa meditentur : quando sederis in domo tua, et ambulaveris in via, et accubueris atque surrexeris.	19 Teach them to your children, speaking of them at home and abroad, whether you are busy or at rest.
20 Scribes ea super postes et januas domus tuæ,	20 And write them on the doorposts of your houses and on your gates,
21 ut multiplicentur dies tui, et filiorum tuorum in terra, quam juravit Dominus patribus tuis, ut daret eis quamdiu cælum imminet terræ.	21 so that, as long as the heavens are above the earth, you and your children may live on in the land which the LORD swore to your fathers he would give them.
22 Si enim custodieritis mandata quæ ego præcipio vobis, et feceritis ea, ut diligatis Dominum Deum vestrum, et ambuletis in omnibus viis ejus, adhærentes ei,	22 "For if you are careful to observe all these commandments I enjoin on you, loving the LORD, your God, and following his ways exactly, and holding fast to him,
23 disperdet Dominus omnes gentes istas ante faciem vestram, et possidebitis eas, quæ majores et fortiores vobis sunt.	23 the LORD will drive all these nations out of your way, and you will dispossess nations greater and mightier than yourselves.
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 where you set foot shall be yours: from the desert and from Lebanon, from the Euphrates River to the Western Sea, shall be your territory.
25 Nullus stabit contra vos : terrorem vestrum et formidinem dabit Dominus Deus vester super omnem terram quam calcaturi estis, sicut locutus est vobis.	25 None shall stand up against you; the LORD, your God, will spread the fear and dread of you through any land where you set foot, as he promised you.
26 En propono in conspectu vestro hodie benedictionem et maledictionem :	26 "I set before you here, this day, a blessing and a curse:
27 benedictionem, si obedieritis mandatis Domini Dei vestri, quæ ego hodie præcipio vobis :	27 a blessing for obeying the commandments of the LORD, your God, which I enjoin on you today;
28 maledictionem, si non obedieritis mandatis Domini Dei vestri, sed recesseritis de via, quam ego nunc ostendo vobis, et ambulaveritis post deos alienos, quos ignoratis.	28 a curse if you do not obey the commandments of the LORD, your God, but turn aside from the way I ordain for you today, to follow other gods, whom you have not known.
29 Cum vero introduxerit te Dominus Deus tuus in terram, ad quam pergis habitandam, pones benedictionem super montem Garizim, maledictionem super montem Hebal :	29 When the LORD, your God, brings you into the land which you are to enter and occupy, then you shall pronounce the blessing on Mount Gerizim, the curse on Mount Ebal.
30 qui sunt trans Jordanem, post viam quæ vergit ad solis occubitum in terra Chananæi, qui habitat in campestribus contra Galgalam, quæ est juxta vallem tendentem et intrantem procul.	30 (Are they not beyond the Jordan, on the other side of the western road in the country of the Canaanites who live in the Arabah, opposite the Gilgal beside the terebinth of Moreh?)
31 Vos enim transibitis Jordanem, ut possideatis terram quam Dominus Deus vester daturus est vobis, ut habeatis et possideatis illam.	31 For you are about to cross the Jordan to enter and occupy the land which the LORD, your God, is giving you. When, therefore, you take possession of it and settle there,
32 Videte ergo ut impleatis cæremonias atque judicia, quæ ego hodie ponam in conspectu vestro.	32 be careful to observe all the statutes and decrees that I set before you today.
