Deuteronomy 8

1 Ye shall keepe all the commandements which I command thee this day, for to doe them: that ye may liue, and be multiplied, and goe in, and possesse the land which the Lord sware vnto your fathers.

Omne mandatum, quod ego praecipio tibi hodie, attende diligenter ut facias: ut possitis vivere, et multiplicemini, ingressique possideatis Terram, pro qua iuravit Dominus patribus vestris.

2 And thou shalt remember all ye way which the Lord thy God led thee this fourtie yeere in the wildernesse, for to humble thee and to proue thee, to knowe what was in thine heart, whether thou wouldest keepe his commandements or no.

Et recordaberis cuncti itineris, per quod adduxit te Dominus Deus tuus quadraginta annis per desertum, ut affligeret te, atque tentaret, et nota fierent quae in tuo animo versabantur, utrum custodires mandata illius, an non.

3 Therefore he humbled thee, and made thee hungry, and fed thee with MAN, which thou knewest not, neither did thy fathers know it, that he might teache thee that man liueth not by bread onely, but by euery worde that proceedeth out of the mouth of the Lord, doth a man liue.

Afflixit te penuria, et dedit tibi cibum Manna, quod ignorabas tu et patres tui: ut ostenderet tibi quod non in solo pane vivat homo, sed in omni verbo quod egreditur de ore Dei.

4 Thy raiment waxed not olde vpon thee, neither did thy foote swell those fourtie yeeres.

Vestimentum tuum, quo operiebaris, nequaquam vetustate defecit, et pes tuus non est subtritus, en quadragesimus annus est.

5 Knowe therefore in thine heart, that as a man nourtereth his sonne, so the Lord thy God nourtereth thee.

Ut recogites in corde tuo, quia sicut erudit filium suum homo, sic Dominus Deus tuus erudivit te,

6 Therefore shalt thou keepe the commandements of the Lord thy God, that thou mayest walke in his wayes, and feare him.

ut custodias mandata Domini Dei tui, et ambules in viis eius, et timeas eum.

7 For the Lord thy God bringeth thee into a good land, a land in the which are riuers of water and fountaines, and depthes that spring out of valleis and mountaines:

Dominus enim Deus tuus introducet te in terram bonam, terram rivorum aquarumque et fontium: in cuius campis et montibus erumpunt fluviorum abyssi:

8 A land of wheate and barley, and of vineyards, and figtrees, and pomegranates: a land of oyle oliue and hony:

terram frumenti, hordei, ac vinearum, in qua ficus, et malogranata, et oliveta nascuntur: terram olei ac mellis.

9 A land wherein thou shalt eate bread without scarcitie, neither shalt thou lacke any thing therein: a land whose stones are yron, and out of whose mountaines thou shalt digge brasse.

Ubi absque ulla penuria comedes panem tuum, et rerum omnium abundantia perfrueris: cuius lapides ferrum sunt, et de montibus eius aeris metalla fodiuntur:

10 And when thou hast eaten and filled thy selfe, thou shalt blesse the Lord thy God for the good land, which he hath giuen thee.

ut cum comederis, et satiatus fueris, benedicas Domino Deo tuo pro terra optima, quam dedit tibi.

11 Beware that thou forget not the Lord thy God, not keeping his commandements, and his lawes, and his ordinances, which I commaund thee this day:

Observa, et cave nequando obliviscaris Domini Dei tui, et negligas mandata eius atque iudicia et ceremonias, quas ego praecipio tibi hodie:

12 Lest when thou hast eaten and filled thy selfe, and hast built goodly houses and dwelt therein,

ne postquam comederis et satiatus fueris, domos pulchras aedificaveris, et habitaveris in eis,

13 And thy beastes, and thy sheepe are increased, and thy siluer and golde is multiplied, and all that thou hast is increased,

habuerisque armenta boum et ovium greges, argenti et auri, cunctarumque rerum copiam,

14 Then thine heart be lifted vp and thou forget the Lord thy God, which brought thee out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage,

elevetur cor tuum, et non reminiscaris Domini Dei tui, qui eduxit te de Terra Aegypti, de domo servitutis:

15 Who was thy guide in the great and terrible wildernes (wherein were fierie serpents, and scorpions, and drought, where was no water, who brought forth water for thee out of ye rock of flint:

et ductor tuus fuit in solitudine magna atque terribili, in qua erat serpens flatu adurens, et scorpio ac dipsas, et nullae omnino aquae: qui eduxit rivos de petra durissima,

16 Who fed thee in the wildernesse with MAN, which thy fathers knewe not) to humble thee, and and to proue thee, that he might doe thee good at thy latter ende.

et cibavit te Manna in solitudine, quod nescierunt patres tui. Et postquam afflixit ac probavit, ad extremum misertus est tui,

17 Beware least thou say in thine heart, My power, and the strength of mine owne hand hath prepared me this abundance.

ne diceres in corde tuo: Fortitudo mea, et robur manus meae, haec mihi omnia praestiterunt.

18 But remember the Lord thy God: for it is he which giueth thee power to get substance to establish his couenant which he sware vnto thy fathers, as appeareth this day.

Sed recorderis Domini Dei tui, quod ipse vires tibi praebuerit, ut impleret pactum suum super quo iuravit patribus tuis, sicut praesens indicat dies.

19 And if thou forget the Lord thy God, and walke after other gods, and serue them, and worship them, I testifie vnto you this day that ye shall surely perish.

Sin autem oblitus Domini Dei tui, secutus fueris deos alienos, coluerisque illos et adoraveris: ecce nunc praedico tibi quod omnino dispereas.

20 As the nations which the Lord destroyeth before you, so ye shall perish, because ye woulde not be obedient vnto the voyce of the Lord your God.

Sicut Gentes, quas delevit Dominus in introitu tuo, ita et vos peribitis, si inobedientes fueritis voci Domini Dei vestri.
