Clementine Vulgate, 1598
1Now these are the commandments, the statutes, and the ordinances, which the LORD your God commanded to teach you, that you might do them in the land that you go over to possess;
1Hæc sunt præcepta, et cæremoniæ, atque judicia, quæ mandavit Dominus Deus vester ut docerem vos, et faciatis ea in terra, ad quam transgredimini possidendam:
2that you might fear the LORD your God, to keep all his statutes and his commandments, which I command you—you, your son, and your son’s son, all the days of your life; and that your days may be prolonged.
2ut 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.
3Hear therefore, Israel, and observe to do it, that it may be well with you, and that you may increase mightily, as the LORD, the God of your fathers, has promised to you, in a land flowing with milk and honey.
3Audi, 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.
4Hear, Israel: The LORD is our God. The LORD is one.
4Audi, Israël: Dominus Deus noster, Dominus unus est.
5You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your might.
5Diliges Dominum Deum tuum ex toto corde tuo, et ex tota anima tua, et ex tota fortitudine tua.
6These words, which I command you today, shall be on your heart;
6Eruntque verba hæc, quæ ego præcipio tibi hodie, in corde tuo:
7and you shall teach them diligently to 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.
7et narrabis ea filiis tuis, et meditaberis in eis sedens in domo tua, et ambulans in itinere, dormiens atque consurgens.
8You shall bind them for a sign on your hand, and they shall be for frontlets between your eyes.
8Et ligabis ea quasi signum in manu tua, eruntque et movebuntur inter oculos tuos,
9You shall write them on the door posts of your house and on your gates.
9scribesque ea in limine, et ostiis domus tuæ.
10It shall be, when the LORD your God brings you into the land which he swore to your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give you, great and goodly cities which you didn’t build,
10Cumque 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,
11and houses full of all good things which you didn’t fill, and cisterns dug out which you didn’t dig, vineyards and olive trees which you didn’t plant, and you shall eat and be full;
11domos plenas cunctarum opum, quas non exstruxisti, cisternas, quas non fodisti, vineta et oliveta, quæ non plantasti,
12then beware lest you forget the LORD, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
12et comederis, et saturatus fueris:
13You shall fear the LORD your God; and you shall serve him, and shall swear by his name.
13cave 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.
14You shall not go after other gods, of the gods of the peoples who are around you,
14Non ibitis post deos alienos cunctarum gentium, quæ in circuitu vestro sunt:
15for the LORD your God among you is a jealous God, lest the anger of the LORD your God be kindled against you, and he destroy you from off the face of the earth.
15quoniam Deus æmulator Dominus Deus tuus in medio tui: nequando irascatur furor Domini Dei tui contra te, et auferat te de superficie terræ.
16You shall not tempt the LORD your God, as you tempted him in Massah.
16Non tentabis Dominum Deum tuum, sicut tentasti in loco tentationis.
17You shall diligently keep the commandments of the LORD your God, and his testimonies, and his statutes, which he has commanded you.
17Custodi præcepta Domini Dei tui, ac testimonia et cæremonias, quas præcepit tibi:
18You shall do that which is right and good in the LORD’s sight, that it may be well with you and that you may go in and possess the good land which the LORD swore to your fathers,
18et fac quod placitum est et bonum in conspectu Domini, ut bene sit tibi: et ingressus possideas terram optimam, de qua juravit Dominus patribus tuis,
19to thrust out all your enemies from before you, as the LORD has spoken.
19ut deleret omnes inimicos tuos coram te, sicut locutus est.
20When your son asks you in time to come, saying, “What do the testimonies, the statutes, and the ordinances, which the LORD our God has commanded you mean?”
20Cumque interrogaverit te filius tuus cras, dicens: Quid sibi volunt testimonia hæc, et cæremoniæ, atque judicia, quæ præcepit Dominus Deus noster nobis?
21then you shall tell your son, “We were Pharaoh’s slaves in Egypt. The LORD brought us out of Egypt with a mighty hand;
21dices ei: Servi eramus Pharaonis in Ægypto, et eduxit nos Dominus de Ægypto in manu forti:
22and the LORD showed great and awesome signs and wonders on Egypt, on Pharaoh, and on all his house, before our eyes;
22fecitque signa atque prodigia magna et pessima in Ægypto contra Pharaonem, et omnem domum illius in conspectu nostro,
23and he brought us out from there, that he might bring us in, to give us the land which he swore to our fathers.
23et eduxit nos inde, ut introductis daret terram, super qua juravit patribus nostris.
24The 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 we are today.
24Præcepitque nobis Dominus ut faciamus omnia legitima hæc, et timeamus Dominum Deum nostrum, ut bene sit nobis cunctis diebus vitæ nostræ, sicut est hodie.
25It shall be righteousness to us, if we observe to do all these commandments before the LORD our God, as he has commanded us.”
25Eritque nostri misericors, si custodierimus et fecerimus omnia præcepta ejus coram Domino Deo nostro, sicut mandavit nobis.
