Deuteronomii 6

1 Hæc sunt præcepta, et ceremoniæ, atque iudicia, quæ mandavit Dominus Deus vester ut docerem vos, et faciatis ea in Terra, ad quam transgredimini possidendam:

Now these are the commandments, the statutes, and the judgments, which the LORD your God commanded to teach you, that all of you might do them in the land where all of you go to possess it:

2 ut timeas Dominum Deum tuum, et custodias omnia mandata et præcepta eius, quæ ego præcipio tibi, et filiis, ac nepotibus tuis, cunctis diebus vitæ tuæ, ut prolongentur dies tui.

That you might fear the LORD your God, to keep all his statutes and his commandments, which I command you, you, and your son, and your son's son, all the days of your life; and that your days may be prolonged.

3 Audi Israel, et observa ut facias quæ præcepit tibi Dominus, et bene sit tibi, et multipliceris amplius, sicut pollicitus est Dominus Deus patrum tuorum tibi terram lacte et melle manantem.

Hear therefore, O Israel, and observe to do it; that it may be well with you, and that all of you may increase mightily, as the LORD God of your fathers has promised you, in the land that flows with milk and honey.

4 Audi Israel, Dominus Deus noster, Dominus unus est.

Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God is one LORD:

5 Diliges Dominum Deum tuum ex toto corde tuo, et ex tota anima tua, et ex tota fortitudine tua.

And you shall love the LORD your God with all of your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your might.

6 Eruntque verba hæc, quæ ego præcipio tibi hodie, in corde tuo:

And these words, which I command you this day, shall be in your heart:

7 et narrabis ea filiis tuis, et meditaberis in eis sedens in domo tua, et ambulans in itinere, dormiens atque consurgens.

And you shall teach them diligently unto your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, and when you walk by the way, and when you lie down, and when you rise up.

8 Et ligabis ea quasi signum in manu tua, eruntque et movebuntur inter oculos tuos,

And you shall bind them for a sign upon your hand, and they shall be as frontlets between your eyes.

9 scribesque ea in limine, et ostiis domus tuæ.

And you shall write them upon the posts of your house, and on your gates.

10 Cumque introduxerit te Dominus Deus tuus in Terram, pro qua iuravit patribus tuis Abraham, Isaac, et Iacob: et dederit tibi civitates magnas et optimas, quas non ædificasti,

And it shall be, when the LORD your God shall have brought you into the land which he swore unto your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give you great and goodly cities, which you builded not,

11 domos plenas cunctarum opum, quas non extruxisti, cisternas, quas non fodisti, vineta et oliveta, quæ non plantasti,

And houses full of all good things, which you filled not, and wells dug, which you dug not, vineyards and olive trees, which you planted not; when you shall have eaten and be full;

12 et comederis, et saturatus fueris:

Then beware lest you forget the LORD, which brought you forth out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage.

13 cave diligenter ne obliviscaris Domini, qui eduxit te de Terra Ægypti, de domo servitutis. Dominum Deum tuum timebis, et illi soli servies, ac per nomen illius iurabis.

You shall fear the LORD your God, and serve him, and shall swear by his name.

14 Non ibitis post deos alienos cunctarum Gentium, quæ in circuitu vestro sunt:

All of you shall not go after other gods, of the gods of the people which are round about you;

15 quoniam Deus æmulator Dominus Deus tuus in medio tui: nequando irascatur furor Domini Dei tui contra te, et auferat te de superficie terræ.

(For the LORD your God is a jealous God among you) lest the anger of the LORD your God be kindled against you, and destroy you from off the face of the earth.

16 Non tentabis Dominum Deum tuum, sicut tentasti in loco tentationis.

All of you shall not tempt the LORD your God, as all of you tempted him in Massah.

17 Custodi præcepta Domini Dei tui, ac testimonia et ceremonias, quas præcepit tibi:

All of you shall diligently keep the commandments of the LORD your God, and his testimonies, and his statutes, which he has commanded you.

18 et fac quod placitum est et bonum in conspectu Domini, ut bene sit tibi: et ingressus possideas terram optimam, de qua iuravit Dominus patribus tuis,

And you shall do that which is right and good in the sight of the LORD: that it may be well with you, and that you may go in and possess the good land which the LORD swore unto your fathers.

19 ut deleret omnes inimicos tuos coram te, sicut locutus est.

To cast out all of your enemies from before you, as the LORD has spoken.

20 Cumque interrogaverit te filius tuus cras, dicens: Quid sibi volunt testimonia hæc, et ceremoniæ, atque iudicia, quæ præcepit Dominus Deus noster nobis?

And when your son asks you in time to come, saying, What mean the testimonies, and the statutes, and the judgments, which the LORD our God has commanded you?

21 dices ei: Servi eramus Pharaonis in Ægypto, et eduxit nos Dominus de Ægypto in manu forti:

Then you shall say unto your son, We were Pharaoh's bondmen in Egypt; and the LORD brought us out of Egypt with a mighty hand:

22 fecitque signa atque prodigia magna et pessima in Ægypto contra Pharaonem, et omnem domum illius in conspectu nostro,

And the LORD showed signs and wonders, great and sore, upon Egypt, upon Pharaoh, and upon all his household, before our eyes:

23 et eduxit nos inde, ut introductis daret Terram, super qua iuravit patribus nostris.

And he brought us out from thence, that he might bring us in, to give us the land which he swore unto our fathers.

24 Præcepitque nobis Dominus ut faciamus omnia legitima hæc, et timeamus Dominum Deum nostrum, ut bene sit nobis cunctis diebus vitæ nostræ, sicut est hodie.

And the LORD commanded us to do all these statutes, to fear the LORD our God, for our good always, that he might preserve us alive, as it is at this day.

25 Eritque nostri misericors, si custodierimus et fecerimus omnia præcepta eius coram Domino Deo nostro, sicut mandavit nobis.

And it shall be our righteousness, if we observe to do all these commandments before the LORD our God, as he has commanded us.
