Deuteronomium 8

NOVA VULGATA	Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition
1 Omne mandatum, quod ego praecipio tibi hodie, cave dili genter ut facias, ut possitis vivere et multiplicemini ingressique possideatis terram, pro qua iuravit Dominus patribus vestris.	1 "All the commandment which I command you this day you shall be careful to do, that you may live and multiply, and go in and possess the land which the LORD swore to give to your fathers.
2 Et recordaberis cuncti itineris, per quod adduxit te Dominus Deus tuus his quadraginta annis per desertum, ut affligeret te atque tentaret, et nota fierent, quae in tuo animo versabantur, utrum custodires mandata illius an non.	2 And you shall remember all the way which the LORD your God has led you these forty years in the wilderness, that he might humble you, testing you to know what was in your heart, whether you would keep his commandments, or not.
3 Afflixit te penuria et dedit tibi cibum manna, quem ignorabas tu et patres tui, ut ostenderet tibi quod non in solo pane vivat homo, sed in omni verbo, quod egreditur de ore Domini.	3 And he humbled you and let you hunger and fed you with manna, which you did not know, nor did your fathers know; that he might make you know that man does not live by bread alone, but that man lives by everything that proceeds out of the mouth of the LORD.
4 Vestimentum tuum, quo operiebaris, nequaquam defecit, et pes tuus non intumuit his quadraginta annis.	4 Your clothing did not wear out upon you, and your foot did not swell, these forty years.
5 Recogites ergo in corde tuo quia, sicut erudit homo filium suum, sic Dominus Deus tuus erudivit te,	5 Know then in your heart that, as a man disciplines his son, the LORD your God disciplines you.
6 ut custodias mandata Domini Dei tui et ambules in viis eius et timeas eum.	6 So you shall keep the commandments of the LORD your God, by walking in his ways and by fearing him.
7 Dominus enim Deus tuus introducet te in terram bonam, terram rivorum aquarum et fontium, in cuius campis et montibus erumpunt fluviorum abyssi,	7 For the LORD your God is bringing you into a good land, a land of brooks of water, of fountains and springs, flowing forth in valleys and hills,
8 terram frumenti, hordei ac vinearum, in qua ficus et malogranata et oliveta nascuntur, terram olei ac mellis,	8 a land of wheat and barley, of vines and fig trees and pomegranates, a land of olive trees and honey,
9 ubi absque ulla penuria comedes panem tuum et rerum omnium abundantia perfrueris; cuius lapides ferrum sunt, et de montibus eius aeris metalla fodiuntur;	9 a land in which you will eat bread without scarcity, in which you will lack nothing, a land whose stones are iron, and out of whose hills you can dig copper.
10 ut, cum comederis et satiatus fueris, benedicas Domino Deo tuo pro terra optima, quam dedit tibi.	10 And you shall eat and be full, and you shall bless the LORD your God for the good land he has given you.
11 Observa et cave, ne quando obliviscaris Domini Dei tui et neglegas mandata eius atque iudicia et praecepta, quae ego praecipio tibi hodie;	11 "Take heed lest you forget the LORD your God, by not keeping his commandments and his ordinances and his statutes, which I command you this day:
12 ne, postquam comederis et satiatus fueris, domos pulchras aedificaveris et habitaveris in eis	12 lest, when you have eaten and are full, and have built goodly houses and live in them,
13 habuerisque armenta et ovium greges multos, argenti et auri cunctarumque rerum copiam,	13 and when your herds and flocks multiply, and your silver and gold is multiplied, and all that you have is multiplied,
14 elevetur cor tuum, et obliviscaris Domini Dei tui, qui eduxit te de terra Aegypti, de domo servitutis,	14 then your heart be lifted up, and you forget the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage,
15 et ductor tuus fuit in solitudine magna atque terribili, in qua erat serpens adurens et scorpio ac terra arida et nullae omnino aquae; qui eduxit tibi rivos de petra durissima	15 who led you through the great and terrible wilderness, with its fiery serpents and scorpions and thirsty ground where there was no water, who brought you water out of the flinty rock,
16 et cibavit te manna in solitudine, quod nescierunt patres tui, et, postquam afflixit ac probavit te, ad extremum misertus est tui,	16 who fed you in the wilderness with manna which your fathers did not know, that he might humble you and test you, to do you good in the end.
17 ne diceres in corde tuo: “Fortitudo mea et robur manus meae haec mihi omnia praestiterunt”;	17 Beware lest you say in your heart, 'My power and the might of my hand have gotten me this wealth.'
18 sed recorderis Domini Dei tui, quod ipse vires tibi praebuerit, ut consequereris prosperitatem, ut impleret pactum suum, super quo iuravit patribus tuis, sicut praesens indicat dies.	18 You shall remember the LORD your God, for it is he who gives you power to get wealth; that he may confirm his covenant which he swore to your fathers, as at this day.
19 Sin autem oblitus Domini Dei tui secutus fueris deos alienos coluerisque illos et adoraveris, ecce nunc testificor vobis quod omnino dispereatis:	19 And if you forget the LORD your God and go after other gods and serve them and worship them, I solemnly warn you this day that you shall surely perish.
20 sicut gentes, quas delevit Dominus in introitu vestro, ita et vos peribitis, si inoboedientes fueritis voci Domini Dei vestri.	20 Like the nations that the LORD makes to perish before you, so shall you perish, because you would not obey the voice of the LORD your God.
