World English Bible
Clementine Vulgate, 1598
1“‘You shall make for yourselves no idols, and you shall not raise up a carved image or a pillar, and you shall not place any figured stone in your land, to bow down to it; for I am the LORD your God.
1Ego Dominus Deus vester: non facietis vobis idolum, et sculptile, nec titulos erigetis, nec insignem lapidem ponetis in terra vestra, ut adoretis eum. Ego enim sum Dominus Deus vester.
2“‘You shall keep my Sabbaths, and have reverence for my sanctuary. I am the LORD.
2Custodite sabbata mea, et pavete ad sanctuarium meum. Ego Dominus.
3“‘If you walk in my statutes and keep my commandments, and do them,
3Si in præceptis meis ambulaveritis, et mandata mea custodieritis, et feceritis ea, dabo vobis pluvias temporibus suis,
4then I will give you your rains in their season, and the land shall yield its increase, and the trees of the field shall yield their fruit.
4et terra gignet germen suum, et pomis arbores replebuntur.
5Your threshing shall continue until the vintage, and the vintage shall continue until the sowing time. You shall eat your bread to the full, and dwell in your land safely.
5Apprehendet messium tritura vindemiam, et vindemia occupabit sementem: et comedetis panem vestrum in saturitate, et absque pavore habitabitis in terra vestra.
6“‘I will give peace in the land, and you shall lie down, and no one will make you afraid. I will remove evil animals out of the land, neither shall the sword go through your land.
6Dabo pacem in finibus vestris: dormietis, et non erit qui exterreat. Auferam malas bestias, et gladius non transibit terminos vestros.
7You shall chase your enemies, and they shall fall before you by the sword.
7Persequemini inimicos vestros, et corruent coram vobis.
8Five of you shall chase a hundred, and a hundred of you shall chase ten thousand; and your enemies shall fall before you by the sword.
8Persequentur quinque de vestris centum alienos, et centum de vobis decem millia: cadent inimici vestri gladio in conspectu vestro.
9“‘I will have respect for you, make you fruitful, multiply you, and will establish my covenant with you.
9Respiciam vos, et crescere faciam: multiplicabimini, et firmabo pactum meum vobiscum.
10You shall eat old supplies long kept, and you shall move out the old because of the new.
10Comedetis vetustissima veterum, et vetera novis supervenientibus projicietis.
11I will set my tent among you, and my soul won’t abhor you.
11Ponam tabernaculum meum in medio vestri, et non abjiciet vos anima mea.
12I will walk among you, and will be your God, and you will be my people.
12Ambulabo inter vos, et ero Deus vester, vosque eritis populus meus.
13I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, that you should not be their slaves. I have broken the bars of your yoke, and made you walk upright.
13Ego Dominus Deus vester, qui eduxi vos de terra Ægyptiorum, ne serviretis eis: et qui confregi catenas cervicum vestrarum, ut incederetis erecti.
14“‘But if you will not listen to me, and will not do all these commandments,
14Quod si non audieritis me, nec feceritis omnia mandata mea,
15and if you shall reject my statutes, and if your soul abhors my ordinances, so that you will not do all my commandments, but break my covenant,
15si spreveritis leges meas, et judicia mea contempseritis, ut non faciatis ea quæ a me constituta sunt, et ad irritum perducatis pactum meum:
16I also will do this to you: I will appoint terror over you, even consumption and fever, that shall consume the eyes, and make the soul to pine away. You will sow your seed in vain, for your enemies will eat it.
16ego quoque hæc faciam vobis: visitabo vos velociter in egestate, et ardore, qui conficiat oculos vestros, et consumat animas vestras. Frustra seretis sementem, quæ ab hostibus devorabitur.
17I will set my face against you, and you will be struck before your enemies. Those who hate you will rule over you; and you will flee when no one pursues you.
17Ponam faciem meam contra vos, et corruetis coram hostibus vestris, et subjiciemini his qui oderunt vos: fugietis, nemine persequente.
18“‘If you in spite of these things will not listen to me, then I will chastise you seven times more for your sins.
18Sin autem nec sic obedieritis mihi, addam correptiones vestras septuplum propter peccata vestra,
19I will break the pride of your power, and I will make your sky like iron, and your soil like bronze.
19et conteram superbiam duritiæ vestræ. Daboque vobis cælum desuper sicut ferrum, et terram æneam.
20Your strength will be spent in vain; for your land won’t yield its increase, neither will the trees of the land yield their fruit.
20Consumetur incassum labor vester, non proferet terra germen, nec arbores poma præbebunt.
21“‘If you walk contrary to me, and won’t listen to me, then I will bring seven times more plagues on you according to your sins.
21Si ambulaveritis ex adverso mihi, nec volueritis audire me, addam plagas vestras in septuplum propter peccata vestra:
22I will send the wild animals among you, which will rob you of your children, destroy your livestock, and make you few in number. Your roads will become desolate.
22immittamque in vos bestias agri, quæ consumant vos, et pecora vestra, et ad paucitatem cuncta redigant, desertæque fiant viæ vestræ.
23“‘If by these things you won’t be turned back to me, but will walk contrary to me,
23Quod si nec sic volueritis recipere disciplinam, sed ambulaveritis ex adverso mihi:
24then I will also walk contrary to you; and I will strike you, even I, seven times for your sins.
24ego quoque contra vos adversus incedam, et percutiam vos septies propter peccata vestra,
25I will bring a sword upon you that will execute the vengeance of the covenant. You will be gathered together within your cities, and I will send the pestilence among you. You will be delivered into the hand of the enemy.
25inducamque super vos gladium ultorem fœderis mei. Cumque confugeritis in urbes, mittam pestilentiam in medio vestri, et trademini in manibus hostium,
26When I break your staff of bread, ten women shall bake your bread in one oven, and they shall deliver your bread again by weight. You shall eat, and not be satisfied.
26postquam confregero baculum panis vestri: ita ut decem mulieres in uno clibano coquant panes, et reddant eos ad pondus: et comedetis, et non saturabimini.
27“‘If you in spite of this won’t listen to me, but walk contrary to me,
27Sin autem nec per hæc audieritis me, sed ambulaveritis contra me:
28then I will walk contrary to you in wrath. I will also chastise you seven times for your sins.
28et ego incedam adversus vos in furore contrario, et corripiam vos septem plagis propter peccata vestra:
29You will eat the flesh of your sons, and you will eat the flesh of your daughters.
29ita ut comedatis carnes filiorum vestrorum et filiarum vestrarum.
30I will destroy your high places, and cut down your incense altars, and cast your dead bodies upon the bodies of your idols; and my soul will abhor you.
30Destruam excelsa vestra, et simulacra confringam. Cadetis inter ruinas idolorum vestrorum, et abominabitur vos anima mea,
31I will lay your cities waste, and will bring your sanctuaries to desolation. I will not take delight in the sweet fragrance of your offerings.
31in tantum ut urbes vestras redigam in solitudinem, et deserta faciam sanctuaria vestra, nec recipiam ultra odorem suavissimum.
32I will bring the land into desolation, and your enemies who dwell in it will be astonished at it.
32Disperdamque terram vestram, et stupebunt super ea inimici vestri, cum habitatores illius fuerint.
33I will scatter you among the nations, and I will draw out the sword after you. Your land will be a desolation, and your cities shall be a waste.
33Vos autem dispergam in gentes, et evaginabo post vos gladium, eritque terra vestra deserta, et civitates vestræ dirutæ.
34Then the land will enjoy its Sabbaths as long as it lies desolate and you are in your enemies’ land. Even then the land will rest and enjoy its Sabbaths.
34Tunc placebunt terræ sabbata sua cunctis diebus solitudinis suæ: quando fueritis
35As long as it lies desolate it shall have rest, even the rest which it didn’t have in your Sabbaths when you lived on it.
35in terra hostili, sabbatizabit, et requiescet in sabbatis solitudinis suæ, eo quod non requieverit in sabbatis vestris quando habitabatis in ea.
36“‘As for those of you who are left, I will send a faintness into their hearts in the lands of their enemies. The sound of a driven leaf will put them to flight; and they shall flee, as one flees from the sword. They will fall when no one pursues.
36Et qui de vobis remanserint, dabo pavorem in cordibus eorum in regionibus hostium, terrebit eos sonitus folii volantis, et ita fugient quasi gladium: cadent, nullo persequente,
37They will stumble over one another, as it were before the sword, when no one pursues. You will have no power to stand before your enemies.
37et corruent singuli super fratres suos, quasi bella fugientes, nemo vestrum inimicis audebit resistere.
38You will perish among the nations. The land of your enemies will eat you up.
38Peribitis inter gentes, et hostilis vos terra consumet.
39Those of you who are left will pine away in their iniquity in your enemies’ lands; and also in the iniquities of their fathers they shall pine away with them.
39Quod si et de iis aliqui remanserint, tabescent in iniquitatibus suis, in terra inimicorum suorum, et propter peccata patrum suorum et sua affligentur:
40“‘If they confess their iniquity and the iniquity of their fathers, in their trespass which they trespassed against me; and also that because they walked contrary to me,
40donec confiteantur iniquitates suas, et majorum suorum, quibus prævaricati sunt in me, et ambulaverunt ex adverso mihi.
41I also walked contrary to them, and brought them into the land of their enemies; if then their uncircumcised heart is humbled, and they then accept the punishment of their iniquity,
41Ambulabo igitur et ego contra eos, et inducam illos in terram hostilem, donec erubescat incircumcisa mens eorum: tunc orabunt pro impietatibus suis.
42then I will remember my covenant with Jacob, my covenant with Isaac, and also my covenant with Abraham; and I will remember the land.
42Et recordabor fœderis mei, quod pepigi cum Jacob, et Isaac, et Abraham. Terræ quoque memor ero:
43The land also will be left by them, and will enjoy its Sabbaths while it lies desolate without them; and they will accept the punishment of their iniquity because they rejected my ordinances, and their soul abhorred my statutes.
43quæ cum relicta fuerit ab eis, complacebit sibi in sabbatis suis, patiens solitudinem propter illos. Ipsi vero rogabunt pro peccatis suis, eo quod abjecerint judicia mea, et leges meas despexerint.
44Yet for all that, when they are in the land of their enemies, I will not reject them, neither will I abhor them, to destroy them utterly and to break my covenant with them; for I am the LORD their God.
44Et tamen etiam cum essent in terra hostili, non penitus abjeci eos, neque sic despexi ut consumerentur, et irritum facerent pactum meum cum eis. Ego enim sum Dominus Deus eorum,
45But I will for their sake remember the covenant of their ancestors, whom I brought out of the land of Egypt in the sight of the nations, that I might be their God. I am the LORD.’”
45et recordabor fœderis mei pristini, quando eduxi eos de terra Ægypti in conspectu gentium, ut essem Deus eorum. Ego Dominus. Hæc sunt judicia atque præcepta et leges quas dedit Dominus inter se et filios Israël in monte Sinai per manum Moysi.
46These are the statutes, ordinances, and laws, which the LORD made between him and the children of Israel in Mount Sinai by Moses.
