VULGATA	NEW JERUSALEM
1 Cum ergo venerint super te omnes sermones isti, benedictio sive maledictio, quam proposui in conspectu tuo : et ductus pœnitudine cordis tui in universis gentibus, in quas disperserit te Dominus Deus tuus,	1 'And when all these words have come true for you -- the blessing and the curse, which I have offeredyou -- if you meditate on them in your heart wherever among the nations Yahweh your God has driven you,
2 et reversus fueris ad eum, et obedieris ejus imperiis, sicut ego hodie præcipio tibi, cum filiis tuis, in toto corde tuo, et in tota anima tua :	2 if you return to Yahweh your God, if with al your heart and with all your soul you obey his voice, youand your children, in everything that I am laying down for you today,
3 reducet Dominus Deus tuus captivitatem tuam, ac miserebitur tui, et rursum congregabit te de cunctis populis, in quos te ante dispersit.	3 then Yahweh your God wil bring back your captives, he will have pity on you and gather you backfrom al the peoples among whom Yahweh your God has scattered you.
4 Si ad cardines cæli fueris dissipatus, inde te retrahet Dominus Deus tuus,	4 Should you have been banished to the very sky's end, Yahweh your God will gather you again evenfrom there, wil come there to reclaim you
5 et assumet, atque introducet in terram, quam possederunt patres tui, et obtinebis eam : et benedicens tibi, majoris numeri te esse faciat quam fuerunt patres tui.	5 and bring you back to the country which belonged to your ancestors, so that you may possess it inyour turn, and be made prosperous there and more numerous than your ancestors.
6 Circumcidet Dominus Deus tuus cor tuum, et cor seminis tui, ut diligas Dominum Deum tuum in toto corde tuo, et in tota anima tua, ut possis vivere.	6 'Yahweh your God wil circumcise your heart and the heart of your descendants, so that you wil loveYahweh your God with all your heart and soul, and so wil live.
7 Omnes autem maledictiones has convertet super inimicos tuos, et eos qui oderunt te et persequuntur.	7 Yahweh your God wil make al these curses recoil on your foes and on your enemies who havepersecuted you.
8 Tu autem reverteris, et audies vocem Domini Dei tui, faciesque universa mandata quæ ego præcipio tibi hodie :	8 And once again you will obey the voice of Yahweh your God and you wil put all his commandmentsinto practice, which I am laying down for you today.
9 et abundare te faciet Dominus Deus tuus in cunctis operibus manuum tuarum, in sobole uteri tui, et in fructu jumentorum tuorum, in ubertate terræ tuæ, et in rerum omnium largitate. Revertetur enim Dominus, ut gaudeat super te in omnibus bonis, sicut gavisus est in patribus tuis :	9 Yahweh your God wil make you prosper in al your labours, in the offspring of your body, in the yieldof your cattle and in the yield of your soil. For once again Yahweh will delight in your prosperity as he used totake delight in the prosperity of your ancestors,
10 si tamen audieris vocem Domini Dei tui, et custodieris præcepta ejus et cæremonias, quæ in hac lege conscripta sunt : et revertaris ad Dominum Deum tuum in toto corde tuo, et in tota anima tua.	10 if you obey the voice of Yahweh your God, by keeping his commandments and decrees written in thebook of this Law, and if you return to Yahweh your God with all your heart and soul.
11 Mandatum hoc, quod ego præcipio tibi hodie, non supra te est, neque procul positum,	11 'For this Law which I am laying down for you today is neither obscure for you nor beyond your reach.
12 nec in cælo situm, ut possis dicere : Quis nostrum valet ad cælum ascendere, ut deferat illud ad nos, et audiamus atque opere compleamus ?	12 It is not in heaven, so that you need to wonder, "Who wil go up to heaven for us and bring it down tous, so that we can hear and practise it?"
13 neque trans mare positum : ut causeris, et dicas : Quis ex nobis poterit transfretare mare, et illud ad nos usque deferre, ut possimus audire et facere quod præceptum est ?	13 Nor is it beyond the seas, so that you need to wonder, "Who will cross the seas for us and bring itback to us, so that we can hear and practise it?"
14 sed juxta te est sermo valde, in ore tuo, et in corde tuo, ut facias illum.	14 No, the word is very near to you, it is in your mouth and in your heart for you to put into practice.
15 Considera quod hodie proposuerim in conspectu tuo, vitam et bonum, et e contrario mortem et malum :	15 'Look, today I am offering you life and prosperity, death and disaster.
16 ut diligas Dominum Deum tuum, et ambules in viis ejus, et custodias mandata illius ac cæremonias atque judicia : et vivas, atque multiplicet te, benedicatque tibi in terra, ad quam ingredieris possidendam.	16 If you obey the commandments of Yahweh your God, which I am laying down for you today, if youlove Yahweh your God and fol ow his ways, if you keep his commandments, his laws and his customs, you willlive and grow numerous, and Yahweh your God wil bless you in the country which you are about to enter andmake your own.
17 Si autem aversum fuerit cor tuum, et audire nolueris, atque errore deceptus adoraveris deos alienos, et servieris eis :	17 But if your heart turns away, if you refuse to listen, if you let yourself be drawn into worshipping othergods and serving them,
18 prædico tibi hodie quod pereas, et parvo tempore moreris in terra, ad quam, Jordane transmisso, ingredieris possidendam.	18 I tel you today, you will most certainly perish; you will not live for long in the country which you arecrossing the Jordan to enter and possess.
19 Testes invoco hodie cælum et terram, quod proposuerim vobis vitam et mortem, benedictionem et maledictionem. Elige ergo vitam, ut et tu vivas, et semen tuum :	19 Today, I call heaven and earth to witness against you: I am offering you life or death, blessing orcurse. Choose life, then, so that you and your descendants may live,
20 et diligas Dominum Deum tuum, atque obedias voci ejus, et illi adhæreas (ipse est enim vita tua, et longitudo dierum tuorum), ut habites in terra, pro qua juravit Dominus patribus tuis, Abraham, Isaac, et Jacob, ut daret eam illis.	20 in the love of Yahweh your God, obeying his voice, holding fast to him; for in this your life consists,and on this depends the length of time that you stay in the country which Yahweh swore to your ancestorsAbraham, Isaac and Jacob that he would give them.'
