Deuteronomii 27
1 Præcepit autem Moyses et seniores Israel, populo dicentes: Custodite omne mandatum quod præcipio vobis hodie.
Moses and the elders of Israel commanded the people, saying, “Keep all the commandment which I command you today.
2 Cumque transieritis Iordanem in Terram, quam Dominus Deus tuus dabit tibi, eriges ingentes lapides, et calce levigabis eos,
It shall be on the day when you shall pass over the Jordan to the land which the LORD your God gives you, that you shall set yourself up great stones, and coat 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.
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 the LORD your God gives you, a land flowing with milk and honey, as the LORD, the God of your fathers, has promised you.
4 Quando ergo transieritis Iordanem, erigite lapides, quos ego hodie præcipio vobis in monte Hebal, et levigabis eos calce:
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.
5 et ædificabis ibi altare Domino Deo tuo de lapidibus, quos ferrum non tetigit,
There you shall build an altar to the LORD your God, an altar of stones. You shall not use any iron tool on them.
6 et de saxis informibus et impolitis: et offeres super eo holocausta Domino Deo tuo,
You shall build the LORD your God’s altar of uncut stones. You shall offer burnt offerings on it to the LORD your God.
7 et immolabis hostias pacificas, comedesque ibi, et epulaberis coram Domino Deo tuo.
You shall sacrifice peace offerings, and shall eat there. You shall rejoice before the LORD your God.
8 Et scribes super lapides omnia verba legis huius plane et lucide.
You shall write on the stones all the words of this law very plainly.”
9 Dixeruntque Moyses et sacerdotes Levitici generis ad omnem Israelem: Attende, et audi Israel: Hodie factus es populus Domini Dei tui:
Moses and the Levitical priests spoke to all Israel, saying, “Be silent and listen, Israel! Today you have become the people of the LORD your God.
10 audies vocem eius, et facies mandata atque iustitias, quas ego præcipio tibi.
You shall therefore obey the LORD your God’s voice, and do his commandments and his statutes, which I command you today.”
11 Præcepitque Moyses populo in die illo, dicens:
Moses commanded the people the same day, saying,
12 Hi stabunt ad benedicendum populo super montem Garizim, Iordane transmisso: Simeon, Levi, Iudas, Issachar, Ioseph, et Beniamin.
“These shall stand on Mount Gerizim to bless the people, when you have crossed over the Jordan: Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar, Joseph, and Benjamin.
13 Et e regione isti stabunt ad maledicendum in monte Hebal: Ruben, Gad, et Aser, et Zabulon, Dan et Nephthali.
These shall stand on Mount Ebal for the curse: Reuben, Gad, Asher, Zebulun, Dan, and Naphtali.
14 Et pronunciabunt Levitæ, dicentque ad omnes viros Israel excelsa voce:
With a loud voice, the Levites shall say to all the men of Israel,
