Deuteronomii 1
1 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:
These are the words which Moses spoke to all Israel on this side the Jordan, in the wilderness, in the plain, opposite to Suph, between Paran and Tophel, Laban, Hazeroth, and Dizahab.
2 undecim diebus de Horeb per viam montis Seir usque ad Cadesbarne.
There are eleven days' journey from Horeb by the way of mount Seir to Kadesh-barnea.
3 Quadragesimo anno, undecimo mense, prima die mensis locutus est Moyses ad filios Israel omnia quæ præceperat illi Dominus ut diceret eis:
And it came to pass in the fortieth year, in the eleventh month, on the first of the month, that Moses spoke to the children of Israel, according to all that Jehovah had given him in command to them;
4 postquam percussit Sehon regem Amorrhæorum, qui habitabat in Hesebon: et Og regem Basan, qui mansit in Astaroth, et in Edrai,
after he had smitten Sihon the king of the Amorites, who dwelt at Heshbon, and Og the king of Bashan, who dwelt at Ashtaroth [and] at Edrei.
5 trans Iordanem in Terra Moab. Cœpitque Moyses explanare legem, et dicere:
On this side the Jordan, in the land of Moab, began Moses to unfold this law, saying,
6 Dominus Deus noster locutus est ad nos in Horeb, dicens: Sufficit vobis quod in hoc monte mansistis:
Jehovah our God spoke unto us in Horeb, saying, Ye have stayed long enough in this mountain.
7 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.
Turn and take your journey, and go to the hill-country of the Amorites, and unto all the neighbouring places in the plain, in the mountain, and in the lowland, and in the south, and by the seaside, the land of the Canaanites, and Lebanon, unto the great river, the river Euphrates.
8 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.
Behold, I have set the land before you: go in and possess the land which Jehovah swore unto your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give unto them and to their seed after them.
9 Dixique vobis illo in tempore:
And I spoke unto you at that time, saying, I am not able to bear you myself alone.
10 Non possum solus sustinere vos: quia Dominus Deus vester multiplicavit vos, et estis hodie sicut stellæ cæli, plurimi.
Jehovah your God hath multiplied you, and behold, ye are this day as the stars of heaven for multitude.
11 (Dominus Deus patrum vestrorum addat ad hunc numerum multa millia, et benedicat vobis sicut locutus est.)
Jehovah, the God of your fathers, make you a thousand times so many more as ye are, and bless you as he hath said unto you!
12 Non valeo solus negotia vestra sustinere, et pondus ac iurgia.
How can I myself alone sustain your wear, and your burden, and your strife?
13 Date ex vobis viros sapientes et gnaros, et quorum conversatio sit probata in tribubus vestris, ut ponam eos vobis principes.
Provide you wise and understanding and known men, according to your tribes, that I may make them your chiefs.
14 Tunc respondistis mihi: Bona res est, quam vis facere.
And ye answered me, and said, The thing that thou hast spoken is good [for us] to do.
15 Tulique de tribubus vestris viros sapientes et nobiles, et constitui eos principes, tribunos, et centuriones, et quinquagenarios ac decanos, qui docerent vos singula.
So I took the chiefs of your tribes, wise men and known, and made them chiefs over you, captains of thousands, and captains of hundreds, and captains of fifties, and captains of tens, and officers for your tribes.
16 Præcepique eis, dicens: Audite illos, et quod iustum est iudicate: sive civis sit ille, sive peregrinus.
And I commanded your judges at that time, saying, Hear [the causes] between your brethren, and judge righteously between a man and his brother, and him also that sojourneth with him.
17 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.
Ye shall not respect persons in judgment: 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 matter that is too hard for you shall ye bring to me, that I may hear it.
18 Præcepique omnia quæ facere deberetis.
And I commanded you at that time all the things that ye should do.
19 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,
And we departed from Horeb and went through all that great and terrible wilderness, which ye saw, on the way to the mountain of the Amorites, as Jehovah our God had commanded us; and we came to Kadesh-barnea.
20 dixi vobis: Venistis ad montem Amorrhæi, quem Dominus Deus noster daturus est nobis.
And I said unto you, Ye are come unto the mountain of the Amorites, which Jehovah our God giveth us.
21 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.
Behold, Jehovah thy God hath set the land before thee: go up, take possession, as Jehovah the God of thy fathers hath said unto thee; fear not, neither be dismayed.
22 Et accessistis ad me omnes, atque dixistis: Mittamus viros qui considerent Terram: et renuncient per quod iter debeamus ascendere, et ad quas pergere civitates.
And ye came near to me all of you, and said, We will send men before us, who shall examine the land for us, and bring us word again of the way by which we must go up, and of the cities to which we shall come.
23 Cumque mihi sermo placuisset, misi ex vobis duodecim viros, singulos de tribubus suis.
And the matter was good in mine eyes; and I took twelve men of you, one man for a tribe.
24 Qui cum perrexissent, et ascendissent in montana, venerunt usque ad Vallem botri: et considerata terra,
And they turned and went up into the mountain, and came to the valley of Eshcol, and searched it out.
25 sumentes de fructibus eius, ut ostenderent ubertatem, attulerunt ad nos, atque dixerunt: Bona est terra, quam Dominus Deus noster daturus est nobis.
And they took of the fruit of the land in their hand, and brought it down unto us, and brought us answer, and said, The land is good that Jehovah our God hath given us.
26 Et noluistis ascendere, sed increduli ad sermonem Domini Dei nostri
But ye would not go up, and rebelled against the word of Jehovah your God;
27 murmurastis in tabernaculis vestris, atque dixisitis: Odit nos Dominus, et idcirco eduxit nos de Terra Ægypti, ut traderet nos in manu Amorrhæi, atque deleret.
and ye murmured in your tents, and said, Because Jehovah hated us, he hath brought us forth out of the land of Egypt, to deliver us into the hand of the Amorites, to destroy us.
28 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.
Whither shall we go up? Our brethren have made our hearts melt, saying, [They are] a people greater and taller than we; the cities are great and walled up to heaven; and moreover we have seen the sons of the Anakim there.
29 Et dixi vobis: Nolite metuere, nec timeatis eos:
And I said unto you, Be not afraid, neither fear them;
30 Dominus Deus, qui ductor est vester, pro vobis ipse pugnabit, sicut fecit in Ægypto cunctis videntibus.
Jehovah your God who goeth before you, he will fight for you, according to all that he did for you in Egypt before your eyes;
31 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.
and in the wilderness where thou hast seen that Jehovah thy God bore thee, as a man doth bear his son, in all the way that ye went, until ye came to this place.
32 Et nec sic quidem credidistis Domino Deo vestro,
But In this thing ye did not believe Jehovah your God,
33 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.
who went in the way before you, to search you out a place for your encamping, in fire by night, to shew you by what way ye should go, and in the cloud by day.
34 Cumque audisset Dominus vocem sermonum vestrorum, iratus iuravit et ait:
And Jehovah heard the voice of your words, and was wroth, and swore, saying,
35 Non videbit quispiam de hominibus generationis huius pessimæ Terram bonam, quam sub iuramento pollicitus sum patribus vestris:
None among these men, this evil generation, shall in any wise see that good land, which I swore to give unto your fathers!
36 præter Caleb filium Iephone. ipse enim videbit eam, et ipsi dabo Terram, quam calcavit, et filiis eius, quia secutus est Dominum.
Except Caleb the son of Jephunneh, he shall see it, and to him will I give the land that he hath trodden upon, and to his children, because he hath wholly followed Jehovah.
37 Nec miranda indignatio in populum, cum mihi quoque iratus Dominus propter vos dixerit: Nec tu ingredieris illuc:
Also Jehovah was angry with me on your account, saying, Thou also shalt not go in thither.
38 sed Iosue filius Nun minister tuus, ipse intrabit pro te. hunc exhortare et robora, et ipse sorte Terram dividet Israeli.
Joshua the son of Nun, who standeth before thee, he shall go in thither: strengthen him, for he shall cause Israel to inherit it.
39 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.
And your little ones, of whom ye said, They shall be a prey, and your children, who this day know neither good nor evil, they shall go in thither, and unto them will I give it, and they shall possess it.
40 Vos autem revertimini et abite in solitudinem per viam Maris rubri.
But ye, turn, and take your journey into the wilderness by the way of the Red sea.
41 Et respondistis mihi: Peccavimus Domino: ascendemus et pugnabimus, sicut præcepit Dominus Deus noster. Cumque instructi armis pergeretis in montem,
— And ye answered and said unto me, We have sinned against Jehovah, we will go up and fight, according to all that Jehovah our God hath commanded us. And ye girded on every man his weapons of war, and ye would go presumptuously up the hill.
42 ait mihi Dominus: Dic ad eos: Nolite ascendere, neque pugnetis, non enim sum vobiscum: ne cadatis coram inimicis vestris.
And Jehovah said to me, Say unto them, Go not up, neither fight; for I am not among you; lest ye be smitten before your enemies.
43 Locutus sum, et non audistis: sed adversantes imperio Domini, et tumentes superbia ascendistis in montem.
And I spoke unto you, but ye would not hear, and ye rebelled against the word of Jehovah, and acted presumptuously, and went up the hill.
44 Itaque egressus Amorrhæus, qui habitabat in montibus, et obviam veniens persecutus est vos, sicut solent apes persequi: et cecidit de Seir usque Horma.
And the Amorite that dwelt on that hill came out against you, and chased you, like as bees do, and cut you in pieces in Seir, as far as Hormah.
45 Cumque reversi ploraretis coram Domino, non audivit vos, nec voci vestræ voluit acquiescere.
And ye returned and wept before Jehovah, but Jehovah would not listen to your voice, nor give ear unto you.
46 Sedistis ergo in Cadesbarne multo tempore.
And ye abode in Kadesh many days, according unto the days that ye abode [there].
