Deuteronomy 1
1 These are the words which Moses spoke to all Israel on the east side of Jordan in the wilderness, in the plain opposite Zuph, between Paran, and Tophel, and Laban, and Hazeroth, and Dizahab.
Hæc sunt verba, quæ locutus est Moyses ad omnem Israel trans Iordanem in solitudine campestri, contra Mare rubrum, inter Pharan et Thophel et Laban et Haseroth, ubi auri est plurimum:
2 ( There are eleven days’ journey from Horeb by the way of mount Seir to Kadeshbarnea.)
undecim diebus de Horeb per viam montis Seir usque ad Cadesbarne.
3 And it came to pass in the fortieth year, in the eleventh month, on the first day of the month, that Moses spoke to the children of Israel, according to all that the LORD had given him in commandment to them;
Quadragesimo anno, undecimo mense, prima die mensis locutus est Moyses ad filios Israel omnia quæ præceperat illi Dominus ut diceret eis:
4 After he had slain Sihon the king of the Amorites, who dwelt in Heshbon, and Og the king of Bashan, who dwelt at Astaroth in Edrei:
postquam percussit Sehon regem Amorrhæorum, qui habitabat in Hesebon: et Og regem Basan, qui mansit in Astaroth, et in Edrai,
5 On the east side of Jordan, in the land of Moab, began Moses to declare this law, saying,
trans Iordanem in Terra Moab. Cœpitque Moyses explanare legem, et dicere:
6 The LORD our God spoke to us in Horeb, saying, Ye have dwelt long enough in this mount:
Dominus Deus noster locutus est ad nos in Horeb, dicens: Sufficit vobis quod in hoc monte mansistis:
7 Turn, and take your journey, and go to the mount of the Amorites, and to all the places near to it, in the plain, on the hills, and in the vale, and in the south, and by the sea side, to the land of the Canaanites, and to Lebanon, to the great river, the river Euphrates.
revertimini, et venite ad montem Amorrhæorum, et ad cetera quæ ei proxima sunt campestria atque montana et humiliora loca contra Meridiem, et iuxta littus maris, Terram Chananæorum, et Libani usque ad flumen magnum Euphraten.
8 Behold, I have set the land before you: go in and possess the land which the LORD swore to your fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, to give to them and to their seed after them.
En, inquit, tradidi vobis: ingredimini et possidete eam, super qua iuravit Dominus patribus vestris Abraham, Isaac, et Iacob, ut daret illam eis, et semini eorum post eos.
9 And I spoke to you at that time, saying, I am not able to bear you myself alone:
Dixique vobis illo in tempore:
10 The LORD your God hath multiplied you, and, behold, ye are this day as the stars of heaven for multitude.
Non possum solus sustinere vos: quia Dominus Deus vester multiplicavit vos, et estis hodie sicut stellæ cæli, plurimi.
11 (The LORD God of your fathers make you a thousand times so many more as ye are, and bless you, as he hath promised you!)
(Dominus Deus patrum vestrorum addat ad hunc numerum multa millia, et benedicat vobis sicut locutus est.)
12 How can I alone bear your weight, and your burden, and your strife?
Non valeo solus negotia vestra sustinere, et pondus ac iurgia.
13 Take for yourselves wise men, and understanding, and known among your tribes, and I will make them rulers over you.
Date ex vobis viros sapientes et gnaros, et quorum conversatio sit probata in tribubus vestris, ut ponam eos vobis principes.
14 And ye answered me, and said, The thing which thou hast spoken is good for us to do.
Tunc respondistis mihi: Bona res est, quam vis facere.
15 So I took the heads of your tribes, wise men, and known, and made them heads over you, captains over thousands, and captains over hundreds, and captains over fifties, and captains over tens, and officers among your tribes.
Tulique de tribubus vestris viros sapientes et nobiles, et constitui eos principes, tribunos, et centuriones, et quinquagenarios ac decanos, qui docerent vos singula.
16 And I charged your judges at that time, saying, Hear the causes between your brethren, and judge righteously between every man and his brother, and the stranger that is with him.
Præcepique eis, dicens: Audite illos, et quod iustum est iudicate: sive civis sit ille, sive peregrinus.
17 Ye shall not respect persons in judgment; but ye shall hear the small as well as the great; ye shall not be afraid of the face of man; for the judgment is God’s: and the cause that is too hard for you, bring to me, and I will hear it.
Nulla erit distantia personarum, ita parvum audietis ut magnum: nec accipietis cuiusquam personam, quia Dei iudicium est. Quod si difficile vobis visum aliquid fuerit, referte ad me, et ego audiam.
18 And I commanded you at that time all the things which ye should do.
Præcepique omnia quæ facere deberetis.
19 And when we departed from Horeb, we went through all that great and terrible wilderness, which ye saw by the way of the mountain of the Amorites, as the LORD our God commanded us; and we came to Kadeshbarnea.
Profecti autem de Horeb, transivimus per eremum terribilem et maximam, quam vidistis, per viam montis Amorrhæi, sicut præceperat Dominus Deus noster nobis. Cumque venissemus in Cadesbarne,
20 And I said to you, Ye have come to the mountain of the Amorites, which the LORD our God doth give to us.
dixi vobis: Venistis ad montem Amorrhæi, quem Dominus Deus noster daturus est nobis.
21 Behold, the LORD thy God hath set the land before thee: go up and possess it, as the LORD God of thy fathers hath said to thee; fear not, neither be discouraged.
Vide Terram, quam Dominus Deus tuus dat tibi: ascende et posside eam, sicut locutus est Dominus Deus noster patribus tuis: noli timere, nec quidquam paveas.
22 And ye came near to me each one of you, and said, We will send men before us, and they shall search us out the land for us, and bring us word again by what way we must go up, and into what cities we shall come.
Et accessistis ad me omnes, atque dixistis: Mittamus viros qui considerent Terram: et renuncient per quod iter debeamus ascendere, et ad quas pergere civitates.
23 And the saying pleased me well: and I took twelve men of you, one of a tribe:
Cumque mihi sermo placuisset, misi ex vobis duodecim viros, singulos de tribubus suis.
24 And they turned and went up to the mountain, and came to the valley of Eshcol, and searched it out.
Qui cum perrexissent, et ascendissent in montana, venerunt usque ad Vallem botri: et considerata terra,
25 And they took of the fruit of the land in their hands, and brought it down to us, and brought us word again, and said, It is a good land which the LORD our God doth give us.
sumentes de fructibus eius, ut ostenderent ubertatem, attulerunt ad nos, atque dixerunt: Bona est terra, quam Dominus Deus noster daturus est nobis.
26 However ye would not go up, but rebelled against the commandment of the LORD your God:
Et noluistis ascendere, sed increduli ad sermonem Domini Dei nostri
27 And ye murmured in your tents, and said, Because the LORD hated us, he hath brought us forth from the land of Egypt, to deliver us into the hand of the Amorites, to destroy us.
murmurastis in tabernaculis vestris, atque dixisitis: Odit nos Dominus, et idcirco eduxit nos de Terra Ægypti, ut traderet nos in manu Amorrhæi, atque deleret.
28 Where can we go up? our brethren have discouraged our heart, saying, The people are greater and taller than we; the cities are great and walled up to heaven; and moreover we have seen the sons of the Anakims there.
Quo ascendemus? nuncii terruerunt cor nostrum, dicentes: Maxima multitudo est, et nobis statura procerior: urbes magnæ, et ad cælum usque munitæ: filios Enacim vidimus ibi.
29 Then I said to you, Dread not, neither be afraid of them.
Et dixi vobis: Nolite metuere, nec timeatis eos:
30 The LORD your God who goeth before you, he shall fight for you, according to all that he did for you in Egypt before your eyes;
Dominus Deus, qui ductor est vester, pro vobis ipse pugnabit, sicut fecit in Ægypto cunctis videntibus.
31 And in the wilderness, where thou hast seen how the LORD thy God bore thee, as a man doth bear his son, in all the way that ye went, until ye came into this place.
Et in solitudine (ipse vidisti) portavit te Dominus Deus tuus, ut solet homo gestare parvulum filium suum, in omni via, per quam ambulastis, donec veniretis ad locum istum.
32 Yet in this thing ye did not believe the LORD your God,
Et nec sic quidem credidistis Domino Deo vestro,
33 Who went in the way before you, to search out for you a place to pitch your tents in, in fire by night, to show you by what way ye should go, and in a cloud by day.
qui præcessit vos in via, et metatus est locum, in quo tentoria figere deberetis, nocte ostendens vobis iter per ignem, et die per columnam nubis.
34 And the LORD heard the voice of your words, and was angry, and swore, saying,
Cumque audisset Dominus vocem sermonum vestrorum, iratus iuravit et ait:
35 Surely there shall not one of these men of this evil generation see that good land, which I swore to give to your fathers,
Non videbit quispiam de hominibus generationis huius pessimæ Terram bonam, quam sub iuramento pollicitus sum patribus vestris:
36 Except Caleb the son of Jephunneh; he shall see it, and to him will I give the land that he hath walked upon, and to his children, because he hath wholly followed the LORD.
præter Caleb filium Iephone. ipse enim videbit eam, et ipsi dabo Terram, quam calcavit, et filiis eius, quia secutus est Dominum.
37 Also the LORD was angry with me for your sakes, saying, Thou also shalt not go in there.
Nec miranda indignatio in populum, cum mihi quoque iratus Dominus propter vos dixerit: Nec tu ingredieris illuc:
38 But Joshua the son of Nun, who standeth before thee, he shall go in there: encourage him: for he shall cause Israel to inherit it.
sed Iosue filius Nun minister tuus, ipse intrabit pro te. hunc exhortare et robora, et ipse sorte Terram dividet Israeli.
39 Moreover your little ones, which ye said should be a prey, and your children, which in that day had no knowledge between good and evil, they shall go in there, and to them will I give it, and they shall possess it.
Parvuli vestri, de quibus dixistis quod captivi ducerentur, et filii qui hodie boni ac mali ignorant distantiam, ipsi ingredientur: et ipsis dabo Terram, et possidebunt eam.
40 But as for you, turn, and take your journey into the wilderness by the way of the Red sea.
Vos autem revertimini et abite in solitudinem per viam Maris rubri.
41 Then ye answered and said to me, We have sinned against the LORD, we will go up and fight, according to all that the LORD our God commanded us. And when ye had girded on every man his weapons of war, ye were ready to go up to the hill.
Et respondistis mihi: Peccavimus Domino: ascendemus et pugnabimus, sicut præcepit Dominus Deus noster. Cumque instructi armis pergeretis in montem,
42 And the LORD said to me, Say to them, Go not up, neither fight; for I am not among you; lest ye be smitten before your enemies.
ait mihi Dominus: Dic ad eos: Nolite ascendere, neque pugnetis, non enim sum vobiscum: ne cadatis coram inimicis vestris.
43 So I spoke to you; and ye would not hear, but rebelled against the commandment of the LORD, and went presumptuously up to the hill.
Locutus sum, et non audistis: sed adversantes imperio Domini, et tumentes superbia ascendistis in montem.
44 And the Amorites, who dwelt on that mountain, came out against you, and chased you, as bees do, and destroyed you in Seir, even to Hormah.
Itaque egressus Amorrhæus, qui habitabat in montibus, et obviam veniens persecutus est vos, sicut solent apes persequi: et cecidit de Seir usque Horma.
45 And ye returned and wept before the LORD; but the LORD would not hearken to your voice, nor give ear to you.
Cumque reversi ploraretis coram Domino, non audivit vos, nec voci vestræ voluit acquiescere.
46 So ye abode in Kadesh many days, according to the days that ye abode there.
Sedistis ergo in Cadesbarne multo tempore.
