Deuteronomy 6
1 And these are the commandments, the statutes, and the ordinances, which Jehovah your God commanded to teach you, that ye may do them in the land whereunto ye pass over to possess it,
Hæc sunt præcepta, et ceremoniæ, atque iudicia, quæ mandavit Dominus Deus vester ut docerem vos, et faciatis ea in Terra, ad quam transgredimini possidendam:
2 that thou mayest fear Jehovah thy God, to keep all his statutes and his commandments which I command thee, thou, and thy son, and thy son's son, all the days of thy life; and that thy days may be prolonged.
ut timeas Dominum Deum tuum, et custodias omnia mandata et præcepta eius, quæ ego præcipio tibi, et filiis, ac nepotibus tuis, cunctis diebus vitæ tuæ, ut prolongentur dies tui.
3 And thou shalt hear, Israel, and take heed to do [them]; that it may be well with thee, and that ye may increase greatly, as Jehovah the God of thy fathers hath said unto thee, in a land flowing with milk and honey.
Audi Israel, et observa ut facias quæ præcepit tibi Dominus, et bene sit tibi, et multipliceris amplius, sicut pollicitus est Dominus Deus patrum tuorum tibi terram lacte et melle manantem.
4 Hear, Israel: Jehovah our God is one Jehovah;
Audi Israel, Dominus Deus noster, Dominus unus est.
5 and thou shalt love Jehovah thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength.
Diliges Dominum Deum tuum ex toto corde tuo, et ex tota anima tua, et ex tota fortitudine tua.
6 And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be in thy heart;
Eruntque verba hæc, quæ ego præcipio tibi hodie, in corde tuo:
7 and thou shalt impress them on thy sons, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thy house, and when thou goest on the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up.
et narrabis ea filiis tuis, et meditaberis in eis sedens in domo tua, et ambulans in itinere, dormiens atque consurgens.
8 And thou shalt bind them for a sign on thy hand, and they shall be for frontlets between thine eyes.
Et ligabis ea quasi signum in manu tua, eruntque et movebuntur inter oculos tuos,
9 And thou shalt write them upon the posts of thy house, and upon thy gates.
scribesque ea in limine, et ostiis domus tuæ.
10 And it shall be, when Jehovah thy God bringeth thee into the land which he swore unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give thee: great and good cities which thou buildedst not,
Cumque introduxerit te Dominus Deus tuus in Terram, pro qua iuravit patribus tuis Abraham, Isaac, et Iacob: et dederit tibi civitates magnas et optimas, quas non ædificasti,
11 and houses full of everything good which thou filledst not, and wells digged which thou diggedst not, vineyards and oliveyards which thou plantedst not, and thou shalt have eaten and shalt be full;
domos plenas cunctarum opum, quas non extruxisti, cisternas, quas non fodisti, vineta et oliveta, quæ non plantasti,
12 [then] beware lest thou forget Jehovah who brought thee forth out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
et comederis, et saturatus fueris:
13 Thou shalt fear Jehovah thy God, and serve him, and shalt swear by his name.
cave diligenter ne obliviscaris Domini, qui eduxit te de Terra Ægypti, de domo servitutis. Dominum Deum tuum timebis, et illi soli servies, ac per nomen illius iurabis.
14 Ye shall not go after other gods, of the gods of the peoples that are round about you;
Non ibitis post deos alienos cunctarum Gentium, quæ in circuitu vestro sunt:
15 for Jehovah thy God is a jealous God in thy midst; lest the anger of Jehovah thy God be kindled against thee, and he destroy thee from the face of the earth.
quoniam Deus æmulator Dominus Deus tuus in medio tui: nequando irascatur furor Domini Dei tui contra te, et auferat te de superficie terræ.
16 Ye shall not tempt Jehovah your God, as ye tempted him in Massah.
Non tentabis Dominum Deum tuum, sicut tentasti in loco tentationis.
17 Ye shall diligently keep the commandments of Jehovah your God, and his testimonies, and his statutes, which he hath commanded thee.
Custodi præcepta Domini Dei tui, ac testimonia et ceremonias, quas præcepit tibi:
18 And thou shalt do what is right and good in the sight of Jehovah, that it may be well with thee, and that thou mayest enter in and possess the good land which Jehovah swore unto thy fathers,
et fac quod placitum est et bonum in conspectu Domini, ut bene sit tibi: et ingressus possideas terram optimam, de qua iuravit Dominus patribus tuis,
19 thrusting out all thine enemies from before thee, as Jehovah hath spoken.
ut deleret omnes inimicos tuos coram te, sicut locutus est.
20 When thy son shall ask thee in time to come, saying, What are the testimonies, and the statutes, and the ordinances, which Jehovah our God hath commanded you?
Cumque interrogaverit te filius tuus cras, dicens: Quid sibi volunt testimonia hæc, et ceremoniæ, atque iudicia, quæ præcepit Dominus Deus noster nobis?
21 then thou shalt say unto thy son, We were Pharaoh's bondmen in Egypt; and Jehovah brought us out of Egypt with a powerful hand;
dices ei: Servi eramus Pharaonis in Ægypto, et eduxit nos Dominus de Ægypto in manu forti:
22 and Jehovah shewed signs and wonders, great and grievous, upon Egypt, upon Pharaoh, and upon all his household, before our eyes;
fecitque signa atque prodigia magna et pessima in Ægypto contra Pharaonem, et omnem domum illius in conspectu nostro,
23 and he brought us out thence, that he might bring us in, to give us the land which he swore unto our fathers.
et eduxit nos inde, ut introductis daret Terram, super qua iuravit patribus nostris.
24 And Jehovah commanded us to do all these statutes, to fear Jehovah our God, for our good continually, that he might preserve us alive, as it is this day.
Præcepitque nobis Dominus ut faciamus omnia legitima hæc, et timeamus Dominum Deum nostrum, ut bene sit nobis cunctis diebus vitæ nostræ, sicut est hodie.
25 And it shall be our righteousness if we take heed to do all these commandments before Jehovah our God, as he hath commanded us.
Eritque nostri misericors, si custodierimus et fecerimus omnia præcepta eius coram Domino Deo nostro, sicut mandavit nobis.
