Deuteronomii 27
1 Præcepit autem Moyses et seniores Israel, populo dicentes: Custodite omne mandatum quod præcipio vobis hodie.
And Moses with the elders of Israel commanded the people saying, —Observe all the commandment which I am commanding you to-day.
2 Cumque transieritis Iordanem in Terram, quam Dominus Deus tuus dabit tibi, eriges ingentes lapides, et calce levigabis eos,
So then it shall be in the day when ye shall pass over the Jordan, into the land which Yahweh thy God is giving unto thee, —that thou shalt rear thee up great stones, and plaster them with plaster;
3 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.
and shalt write upon them all the words of this law, when thou shalt pass over, —to the end that thou mayest enter upon the land which Yahweh thy God is giving unto thee a land flowing with milk and honey, as Yahweh the God of thy fathers hath spoken unto thee.
4 Quando ergo transieritis Iordanem, erigite lapides, quos ego hodie præcipio vobis in monte Hebal, et levigabis eos calce:
So then it shall be when ye shall pass over the Jordan, that ye shall rear up these stones which I am commanding you to-day in Mount Ebal, —and thou shalt plaster them with plaster.
5 et ædificabis ibi altare Domino Deo tuo de lapidibus, quos ferrum non tetigit,
And thou shalt build there an altar unto Yahweh thy God, —an altar of stones, thou shalt not wield thereupon any tool of iron.
6 et de saxis informibus et impolitis: et offeres super eo holocausta Domino Deo tuo,
Of whole stones, shalt thou build the altar of Yahweh thy God, —then shalt thou cause to go up thereon ascending-sacrifices, unto Yahweh thy God;
7 et immolabis hostias pacificas, comedesque ibi, et epulaberis coram Domino Deo tuo.
and thou shalt sacrifice peace-offerings and shalt eat there, —and rejoice before Yahweh thy God.
8 Et scribes super lapides omnia verba legis huius plane et lucide.
And thou shalt write upon the stones all the words of this law doing it plainly and well.
9 Dixeruntque Moyses et sacerdotes Levitici generis ad omnem Israelem: Attende, et audi Israel: Hodie factus es populus Domini Dei tui:
And Moses and the priests the Levites spake unto all Israel saying, —Keep silence and hear O Israel, This day, hast thou been made a people unto Yahweh thy God.
10 audies vocem eius, et facies mandata atque iustitias, quas ego præcipio tibi.
Thou shalt therefore hearken unto the voice of Yahweh thy God, —and do his commandments and his statutes, which I am commanding thee to-day.
11 Præcepitque Moyses populo in die illo, dicens:
And Moses commanded the people on that day, saying:
12 Hi stabunt ad benedicendum populo super montem Garizim, Iordane transmisso: Simeon, Levi, Iudas, Issachar, Ioseph, et Beniamin.
These, shall stand to bless the people upon Mount Gerizim, when ye have passed over the Jordan, —Simeon and Levi and Judah, and Issachar and Joseph and Benjamin;
13 Et e regione isti stabunt ad maledicendum in monte Hebal: Ruben, Gad, et Aser, et Zabulon, Dan et Nephthali.
and, these, shall stand by the curse in Mount Ebal, —Reuben Gad and Asher, and Zebulun Dan and Naphtali.
14 Et pronunciabunt Levitæ, dicentque ad omnes viros Israel excelsa voce:
Then shall the Levites respond and say unto every man of Israel with voice uplifted: —
