Deuteronomy 27
1 Moses and the elders of Israel commanded the people, saying, “Keep all the commandment which I command you today.
Præcepit autem Moyses et seniores Israel, populo dicentes: Custodite omne mandatum quod præcipio vobis hodie.
2 It shall be on the day when you shall pass over the Jordan to the land which Yahweh your God gives you, that you shall set yourself up great stones, and coat them with plaster.
Cumque transieritis Iordanem in Terram, quam Dominus Deus tuus dabit tibi, eriges ingentes lapides, et calce levigabis eos,
3 You shall write on them all the words of this law, when you have passed over, that you may go in to the land which Yahweh your God gives you, a land flowing with milk and honey, as Yahweh, the God of your fathers, has promised you.
ut possis in eis scribere omnia verba legis huius, Iordane transmisso: ut introeas Terram, quam Dominus Deus tuus dabit tibi, terram lacte et melle manantem, sicut iuravit patribus tuis.
4 It shall be, when you have crossed over the Jordan, that you shall set up these stones, which I command you today, on Mount Ebal, and you shall coat them with plaster.
Quando ergo transieritis Iordanem, erigite lapides, quos ego hodie præcipio vobis in monte Hebal, et levigabis eos calce:
5 There you shall build an altar to Yahweh your God, an altar of stones. You shall not use any iron tool on them.
et ædificabis ibi altare Domino Deo tuo de lapidibus, quos ferrum non tetigit,
6 You shall build Yahweh your God’s altar of uncut stones. You shall offer burnt offerings on it to Yahweh your God.
et de saxis informibus et impolitis: et offeres super eo holocausta Domino Deo tuo,
7 You shall sacrifice peace offerings, and shall eat there. You shall rejoice before Yahweh your God.
et immolabis hostias pacificas, comedesque ibi, et epulaberis coram Domino Deo tuo.
8 You shall write on the stones all the words of this law very plainly.”
Et scribes super lapides omnia verba legis huius plane et lucide.
9 Moses and the Levitical priests spoke to all Israel, saying, “Be silent and listen, Israel! Today you have become the people of Yahweh your God.
Dixeruntque Moyses et sacerdotes Levitici generis ad omnem Israelem: Attende, et audi Israel: Hodie factus es populus Domini Dei tui:
10 You shall therefore obey Yahweh your God’s voice, and do his commandments and his statutes, which I command you today.”
audies vocem eius, et facies mandata atque iustitias, quas ego præcipio tibi.
11 Moses commanded the people the same day, saying,
Præcepitque Moyses populo in die illo, dicens:
12 “These shall stand on Mount Gerizim to bless the people, when you have crossed over the Jordan: Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar, Joseph, and Benjamin.
Hi stabunt ad benedicendum populo super montem Garizim, Iordane transmisso: Simeon, Levi, Iudas, Issachar, Ioseph, et Beniamin.
13 These shall stand on Mount Ebal for the curse: Reuben, Gad, Asher, Zebulun, Dan, and Naphtali.
Et e regione isti stabunt ad maledicendum in monte Hebal: Ruben, Gad, et Aser, et Zabulon, Dan et Nephthali.
14 With a loud voice, the Levites shall say to all the men of Israel,
Et pronunciabunt Levitæ, dicentque ad omnes viros Israel excelsa voce:
15 ‘Cursed is the man who makes an engraved or molten image, an abomination to Yahweh, the work of the hands of the craftsman, and sets it up in secret.’ All the people shall answer and say, ‘Amen.’
Maledictus homo, qui facit sculptile et conflatile, abominationem Domini, opus manuum artificum, ponetque illud in abscondito. et respondebit omnis populus, et dicet: Amen.
16 ‘Cursed is he who dishonors his father or his mother.’ All the people shall say, ‘Amen.’
Maledictus qui non honorat patrem suum, et matrem. et dicet omnis populus: Amen.
17 ‘Cursed is he who removes his neighbor’s landmark.’ All the people shall say, ‘Amen.’

Maledictus qui clam percusserit proximum suum. et dicet omnis populus: Amen.
25 ‘Cursed is he who takes a bribe to kill an innocent person.’ All the people shall say, ‘Amen.’
Maledictus qui accipit munera, ut percutiat animam sanguinis innocentis. et dicet omnis populus: Amen.
26 ‘Cursed is he who doesn’t uphold the words of this law by doing them.’ All the people shall say, ‘Amen.’”
Maledictus qui non permanet in sermonibus legis huius, nec eos opere perficit. et dicet omnis populus: Amen.
