Deuteronomii 6

1 Hæc sunt præcepta, et cæremoniæ, atque judicia, quæ mandavit Dominus Deus vester ut docerem vos, et faciatis ea in terra, ad quam transgredimini possidendam:

Now these are the commandments, statutes, and decrees that Yahweh your God has commanded me to teach you, so that you might keep them in the land that you are going over the Jordan to possess;

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

so that you might honor Yahweh your God, so as to keep all his statutes and commandments that I am commanding you—you, your sons, and your sons' sons, all the days of your lives, so that your days may be prolonged.

3 Audi, Israël, 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.

Therefore listen to them, Israel, and keep them, so that it may go well with you, so that you may greatly multiply, in a land flowing with milk and honey, as Yahweh, the God of your fathers, has promised you would do.

4 Audi, Israël: Dominus Deus noster, Dominus unus est.

Listen, Israel: Yahweh our God is one.

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

You will love Yahweh your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your might.

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

The words that I am commanding you today will 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 will diligently teach them to your children; you will talk about them when you sit in your house, when you walk on the road, when you lie down, and when you get up.

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

You will tie them as a sign upon your hand, and they will serve as frontlets between your eyes.

9 scribesque ea in limine, et ostiis domus tuæ.

You will write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates.

10 Cumque introduxerit te Dominus Deus tuus in terram, pro qua juravit patribus tuis Abraham, Isaac, et Jacob, et dederit tibi civitates magnas et optimas, quas non ædificasti,

When Yahweh your God brings you into the land that he swore to your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, that he would give you, with large and very good cities that you did not build,

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

and houses full of all kinds of good things that you did not make, cisterns that you did not dig, and vineyards and olive trees that you did not plant, you will eat and be satisfied—

12 et comederis, et saturatus fueris:

then be careful so that you do not forget Yahweh, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of 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 jurabis.

You will honor Yahweh your God; him you will worship, and you will swear by his name.

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

You will not go after other gods, the gods of the peoples who are all around 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 Yahweh your God in the midst of you is a jealous God—if you do, the anger of Yahweh your God will be kindled against you and he will destroy you from the surface of the earth.

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

You will not test Yahweh your God as you tested him at Massah.

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

You will diligently keep the commandments of Yahweh your God, his solemn commands, and his statutes, that 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 juravit Dominus patribus tuis,

You will do what is right and good in the sight of Yahweh, that it may go well with you, and that you may go in and possess the good land that Yahweh swore to your fathers,

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

to drive out all your enemies from before you, as Yahweh has said.

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

When your son asks you in time to come, saying, 'What are the covenant decrees, the statutes, and the other decrees that Yahweh our God commanded you?'

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

then you will say to your son, 'We were Pharaoh's slaves in Egypt; Yahweh 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 he displayed signs and wonders, great and severe, on Egypt, on Pharaoh, and on all his house, before our eyes;

23 et eduxit nos inde, ut introductis daret terram, super qua juravit patribus nostris.

and he brought us out from there, so that he might bring us in, to give us the land that he swore to 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.

Yahweh commanded us to always keep all these statutes, to fear Yahweh our God for our good, so that he might keep us alive, as we are today.

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

If we keep all these commands before Yahweh our God, as he has commanded us, this will be our righteousness.'
