Deuteronomy 7
1 When the LORD your God brings you into the land where you go to possess it, and casts out many nations before you—the Hittite, the Girgashite, the Amorite, the Canaanite, the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite—seven nations greater and mightier than you;
Cum introduxerit te Dominus Deus tuus in Terram, quam possessurus ingredieris, et deleverit gentes multas coram te, Hethæum, et Gergezæum, et Amorrhæum, Chananæum, et Pherezæum, et Hevæum, et Iebusæum, septem gentes multo maioris numeri quam tu es, et robustiores te:
2 and when the LORD your God delivers them up before you, and you strike them, then you shall utterly destroy them. You shall make no covenant with them, nor show mercy to them.
tradideritque eas Dominus Deus tuus tibi, percuties eas usque ad internecionem. Non inibis cum eis fœdus, nec misereberis earum,
3 You shall not make marriages with them. You shall not give your daughter to his son, nor shall you take his daughter for your son.
neque sociabis cum eis coniugia. Filiam tuam non dabis filio eius, nec filiam illius accipies filio tuo:
4 For that would turn away your sons from following me, that they may serve other gods. So the LORD’s anger would be kindled against you, and he would destroy you quickly.
quia seducet filium tuum, ne sequatur me, et ut magis serviat diis alienis. Irasceturque furor Domini, et delebit te cito.
5 But you shall deal with them like this: you shall break down their altars, dash their pillars in pieces, cut down their Asherah poles, and burn their engraved images with fire.
Quin potius hæc facietis eis: Aras eorum subvertite, et confringite statuas, lucosque succidite, et sculptilia comburite.
6 For you are a holy people to the LORD your God. The LORD your God has chosen you to be a people for his own possession, above all peoples who are on the face of the earth.
Quia populus sanctus es Domino Deo tuo. Te elegit Dominus Deus tuus, ut sis ei populus peculiaris de cunctis populis, qui sunt super terram.
7 The LORD did not set his love on you nor choose you, because you were more in number than any people; for you were the fewest of all peoples;
Non quia cunctas gentes numero vincebatis, vobis iunctus est Dominus, et elegit vos, cum omnibus sitis populis pauciores:
8 but because the LORD loves you, and because he desires to keep the oath which he swore to your fathers, the LORD has brought you out with a mighty hand and redeemed you out of the house of bondage, from the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt.
sed quia dilexit vos Dominus, et custodivit iuramentum, quod iuravit patribus vestris: eduxitque vos in manu forti, et redemit de domo servitutis, de manu Pharaonis regis Ægypti.
9 Know therefore that the LORD your God himself is God, the faithful God, who keeps covenant and loving kindness to a thousand generations with those who love him and keep his commandments,
Et scies quia Dominus Deus tuus, ipse est Deus fortis et fidelis, custodiens pactum et misericordiam diligentibus se, et his qui custodiunt præcepta eius in mille generationes:
10 and repays those who hate him to their face, to destroy them. He will not be slack to him who hates him. He will repay him to his face.
et reddens odientibus se statim, ita ut disperdat eos, et ultra non differat, protinus eis restituens quod merentur.
11 You shall therefore keep the commandments, the statutes, and the ordinances which I command you today, to do them.
Custodi ergo præcepta et ceremonias atque iudicia, quæ ego mando tibi hodie ut facias.
12 It shall happen, because you listen to these ordinances and keep and do them, that the LORD your God will keep with you the covenant and the loving kindness which he swore to your fathers.
Si postquam audieris hæc iudicia, custodieris ea et feceris, custodiet et Dominus Deus tuus pactum tibi, et misericordiam quam iuravit patribus tuis:
13 He will love you, bless you, and multiply you. He will also bless the fruit of your body and the fruit of your ground, your grain and your new wine and your oil, the increase of your livestock and the young of your flock, in the land which he swore to your fathers to give you.
et diliget te ac multiplicabit, benedicetque fructui ventris tui, et fructui terræ tuæ, frumento tuo, atque vindemiæ, oleo, et armentis, gregibus ovium tuarum super Terram, pro qua iuravit patribus tuis ut daret eam tibi.
14 You will be blessed above all peoples. There will not be male or female barren among you, or among your livestock.
Benedictus eris inter omnes populos. Non erit apud te sterilis utriusque sexus, tam in hominibus quam in gregibus tuis.
15 The LORD will take away from you all sickness; and he will put none of the evil diseases of Egypt, which you know, on you, but will lay them on all those who hate you.
Auferet Dominus a te omnem languorem: et infirmitates Ægypti pessimas, quas novisti, non inferet tibi, sed cunctis hostibus tuis.
16 You shall consume all the peoples whom the LORD your God shall deliver to you. Your eye shall not pity them. You shall not serve their gods; for that would be a snare to you.
Devorabis omnes populos, quos Dominus Deus tuus daturus est tibi. Non parcet eis oculus tuus, nec servies diis eorum, ne sint in ruinam tui.
17 If you shall say in your heart, “These nations are more than I; how can I dispossess them?”
Si dixeris in corde tuo: Plures sunt gentes istæ quam ego, quo modo potero delere eas?
18 you shall not be afraid of them. You shall remember well what the LORD your God did to Pharaoh and to all Egypt:
noli metuere, sed recordare quæ fecerit Dominus Deus tuus Pharaoni, et cunctis Ægyptiis,
19 the great trials which your eyes saw, the signs, the wonders, the mighty hand, and the outstretched arm, by which the LORD your God brought you out. So shall the LORD your God do to all the peoples of whom you are afraid.
plagas maximas, quas viderunt oculi tui, et signa atque portenta, manumque robustam, et extentum brachium, ut educeret te Dominus Deus tuus. Sic faciet cunctis populis, quos metuis.
20 Moreover the LORD your God will send the hornet among them, until those who are left, and hide themselves, perish from before you.
Insuper et crabrones mittet Dominus Deus tuus in eos, donec deleat omnes atque disperdat qui te fugerint, et latere potuerint.
21 You shall not be scared of them; for the LORD your God is among you, a great and awesome God.
Non timebis eos, quia Dominus Deus tuus in medio tui est, Deus magnus et terribilis:
22 The LORD your God will cast out those nations before you little by little. You may not consume them at once, lest the animals of the field increase on you.
ipse consumet nationes has in conspectu tuo paulatim atque per partes. Non poteris eas delere pariter: ne forte multiplicentur contra te bestiæ terræ.
23 But the LORD your God will deliver them up before you, and will confuse them with a great confusion, until they are destroyed.
Dabitque eos Dominus Deus tuus in conspectu tuo: et interficiet illos donec penitus deleantur.
24 He will deliver their kings into your hand, and you shall make their name perish from under the sky. No one will be able to stand before you until you have destroyed them.
Tradetque reges eorum in manus tuas, et disperdes nomina eorum sub cælo: nullus poterit resistere tibi, donec conteras eos.
25 You shall burn the engraved images of their gods with fire. You shall not covet the silver or the gold that is on them, nor take it for yourself, lest you be snared in it; for it is an abomination to the LORD your God.
Sculptilia eorum igne combures: non concupisces argentum et aurum, de quibus facta sunt, neque assumes ex eis tibi quidquam, ne offendas, propterea quia abominatio est Domini tui.
26 You shall not bring an abomination into your house and become a devoted thing like it. You shall utterly detest it. You shall utterly abhor it; for it is a devoted thing.
Nec inferes quippiam ex idolo in domum tuam, ne fias anathema, sicut et illud est. Quasi spurcitiam detestaberis, et velut inquinamentum ac sordes abominationi habebis, quia anathema est.
