Deuteronomii 9

1 Audi Israel: Tu transgredieris hodie Iordanem, ut possideas nationes maximas et fortiores te, civitates ingentes, et ad cælum usque muratas,

Hear, O Israel: You are to pass over Jordan this day, to go in to possess nations greater and mightier than yourself, cities great and fenced up to heaven,

2 populum magnum atque sublimem, filios Enacim, quos ipse vidisti, et audisti, quibus nullus potest ex adverso resistere.

A people great and tall, the children of the Anakims, whom you know, and of whom you have heard say, Who can stand before the children of Anak!

3 Scies ergo hodie quod Dominus Deus tuus ipse transibit ante te, ignis devorans atque consumens, qui conterat eos et deleat atque disperdat ante faciem tuam velociter, sicut locutus est tibi.

Understand therefore this day, that the LORD your God is he which goes over before you; as a consuming fire he shall destroy them, and he shall bring them down before your face: so shall you drive them out, and destroy them quickly, as the LORD has said unto you.

4 Ne dicas in corde tuo, cum deleverit eos Dominus Deus tuus in conspectu tuo: Propter iustitiam meam introduxit me Dominus ut terram hanc possiderem, cum propter impietates suas istæ deletæ sint nationes.

Speak not you in your heart, after that the LORD your God has cast them out from before you, saying, For my righteousness the LORD has brought me in to possess this land: but for the wickedness of these nations the LORD does drive them out from before you.

5 Neque enim propter iustitias tuas, et æquitatem cordis tui ingredieris ut possideas terras earum: sed quia illæ egerunt impie, introeunte te deletæ sunt: et ut compleret verbum suum Dominus, quod sub iuramento pollicitus est patribus tuis Abraham, Isaac, et Iacob.

Not for your righteousness, or for the uprightness of your heart, do you go to possess their land: but for the wickedness of these nations the LORD your God does drive them out from before you, and that he may perform the word which the LORD swore unto your fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.

6 scito ergo quod non propter iustitias tuas Dominus Deus tuus dederit tibi terram hanc optimam in possessionem, cum durissimæ cervicis sis populus.

Understand therefore, that the LORD your God gives you not this good land to possess it for your righteousness; for you are a stubborn people.

7 Memento, et ne obliviscaris quomodo ad iracundiam provocaveris Dominum Deum tuum in solitudine. Ex eo die, quo egressus es ex Ægypto usque ad locum istum, semper adversum Dominum contendisti.

Remember, and forget not, how you provoked the LORD your God to wrath in the wilderness: from the day that you did depart out of the land of Egypt, until all of you came unto this place, all of you have been rebellious against the LORD.

8 Nam et in Horeb provocasti eum, et iratus delere te voluit,

Also in Horeb all of you provoked the LORD to wrath, so that the LORD was angry with you to have destroyed you.

9 quando ascendi in montem, ut acciperem tabulas lapideas, tabulas pacti quod pepigit vobiscum Dominus: et perseveravi in monte quadraginta diebus ac noctibus, panem non comedens, et aquam non bibens.

When I was gone up into the mount to receive the tables of stone, even the tables of the covenant which the LORD made with you, then I abode in the mount forty days and forty nights, I neither did eat bread nor drink water:

10 Deditque mihi Dominus duas tabulas lapideas scriptas digito Dei, et continentes omnia verba quæ vobis locutus est in monte de medio ignis, quando concio populi congregata est.

And the LORD delivered unto me two tables of stone written with the finger of God; and on them was written according to all the words, which the LORD spoke with you in the mount out of the midst of the fire in the day of the assembly.

11 Cumque transissent quadraginta dies, et totidem noctes, dedit mihi Dominus duas tabulas lapideas, tabulas fœderis,

And it came to pass at the end of forty days and forty nights, that the LORD gave me the two tables of stone, even the tables of the covenant.

12 dixitque mihi: Surge, et descende hinc cito: quia populus tuus, quem eduxisti de Ægypto, deseruerunt velociter viam, quam demonstrasti eis, feceruntque sibi conflatile.

And the LORD said unto me, Arise, get you down quickly from behind; for your people which you have brought forth out of Egypt have corrupted themselves; they are quickly turned aside out of the way which I commanded them; they have made them a molten image.

13 Rursumque ait Dominus ad me: Cerno quod populus iste duræ cervicis sit:

Furthermore the LORD spoke unto me, saying, I have seen this people, and, behold, it is a stubborn people:

14 dimitte me ut conteram eum, et deleam nomen eius de sub cælo, et constituam te super Gentem, quæ hac maior et fortior sit.

Let me alone, that I may destroy them, and blot out their name from under heaven: and I will make of you a nation mightier and greater than they.

15 Cumque de monte ardente descenderem, et duas tabulas fœderis utraque tenerem manu,

So I turned and came down from the mount, and the mount burned with fire: and the two tables of the covenant were in my two hands.

16 vidissemque vos pecasse Domino Deo vestro, et fecisse vobis vitulum conflatilem, ac deseruisse velociter viam eius, quam vobis ostenderat:

And I looked, and, behold, all of you had sinned against the LORD your God, and had made you a molten calf: all of you had turned aside quickly out of the way which the LORD had commanded you.

17 proieci tabulas de manibus meis, confregique eas in conspectu vestro.

And I took the two tables, and cast them out of my two hands, and brake them before your eyes.

18 Et procidi ante Dominum sicut prius, quadraginta diebus et noctibus panem non comedens, et aquam non bibens propter omnia peccata vestra quæ gessistis contra Dominum, et eum ad iracundiam provocastis:

And I fell down before the LORD, as at the first, forty days and forty nights: I did neither eat bread, nor drink water, because of all your sins which all of you sinned, in doing wickedly in the sight of the LORD, to provoke him to anger.

19 timui enim indignationem et iram illius, qua adversum vos concitatus, delere vos voluit. Et exaudivit me Dominus etiam hac vice.

For I was afraid of the anger and hot displeasure, wherewith the LORD was angry against you to destroy you. But the LORD hearkened unto me at that time also.

20 Adversum Aaron quoque vehementer iratus, voluit eum conterere, et pro illo similiter deprecatus sum.

And the LORD was very angry with Aaron to have destroyed him: and I prayed for Aaron also the same time.

21 Peccatum autem vestrum quod feceratis, id est vitulum, arripiens, igne combussi, et in frusta comminuens, omninoque in pulverem redigens, proieci in torrentem, qui de monte descendit.

And I took your sin, the calf which all of you had made, and burnt it with fire, and stamped it, and ground it very small, even until it was as small as dust: and I cast the dust thereof into the brook that descended out of the mount.

22 In incendio quoque et in tentatione, et in Sepulchris concupiscentiæ provocastis Dominum:

And at Taberah, and at Massah, and at Kibrothhattaavah, all of you provoked the LORD to wrath.

23 et quando misit vos de Cadesbarne, dicens: Ascendite, et possidete Terram, quam dedi vobis, et contempsistis imperium Domini Dei vestri, et non credidistis ei, neque vocem eius audire voluistis:

Likewise when the LORD sent you from Kadeshbarnea, saying, Go up and possess the land which I have given you; then all of you rebelled against the commandment of the LORD your God, and all of you believed him not, nor hearkened to his voice.

24 sed semper fuistis rebelles a die qua nosse vos cœpi.

All of you have been rebellious against the LORD from the day that I knew you.

25 Et iacui coram Domino quadraginta diebus ac noctibus, quibus eum suppliciter deprecabar, ne deleret vos ut fuerat comminatus:

Thus I fell down before the LORD forty days and forty nights, as I fell down at the first; because the LORD had said he would destroy you.

26 et orans dixi: Domine Deus, ne disperdas populum tuum, et hereditatem tuam, quam redemisti in magnitudine tua, quos eduxisti de Ægypto in manu forti.

I prayed therefore unto the LORD, and said, O Lord GOD, destroy not your people and your inheritance, which you have redeemed through your greatness, which you have brought forth out of Egypt with a mighty hand.

27 Recordare servorum tuorum Abraham, Isaac, et Iacob: ne aspicias duritiam populi huius, et impietatem atque peccatum:

Remember your servants, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; look not unto the stubbornness of this people, nor to their wickedness, nor to their sin:

28 ne forte dicant habitatores terræ, de qua eduxisti nos: Non poterat Dominus introducere eos in Terram, quam pollicitus est eis, et oderat illos: idcirco eduxit, ut interficeret eos in solitudine.

Lest the land whence you brought us out say, Because the LORD was not able to bring them into the land which he promised them, and because he hated them, he has brought them out to slay them in the wilderness.

29 qui sunt populus tuus et hereditas tua, quos eduxisti in fortitudine tua magna, et in brachio tuo extento.

Yet they are your people and your inheritance, which you brought out by your mighty power and by your stretched out arm.
