Liber Deuteronomii, 10

1. In tempore illo dixit Dominus ad me: “Dola tibi duas tabulas lapideas, sicut priores fuerunt, et ascende ad me in montem faciesque tibi arcam ligneam.

1. "At that time the LORD said to me, `Hew two tables of stone like the first, and come up to me on the mountain, and make an ark of wood.

2. Et scribam in tabulis verba, quae fuerunt in his, quas ante confregisti, ponesque eas in arca”.

2. And I will write on the tables the words that were on the first tables which you broke, and you shall put them in the ark.'

3. Feci igitur arcam de lignis acaciae; cumque dolassem duas tabulas lapideas instar priorum, ascendi in montem habens eas in manibus.

3. So I made an ark of acacia wood, and hewed two tables of stone like the first, and went up the mountain with the two tables in my hand.

4. Scripsitque in tabulis iuxta id quod prius scripserat, verba decem, quae locutus est Dominus ad vos in monte de medio ignis, quando populus congregatus est, et dedit eas mihi.

4. And he wrote on the tables, as at the first writing, the ten commandments which the LORD had spoken to you on the mountain out of the midst of the fire on the day of the assembly; and the LORD gave them to me.

5. Reversusque de monte descendi et posui tabulas in arcam, quam feceram; quae hucusque ibi sunt, sicut mihi praecepit Dominus.

5. Then I turned and came down from the mountain, and put the tables in the ark which I had made; and there they are, as the LORD commanded me.

6. Filii autem Israel castra moverunt ex Berothbeneiacan in Mosera, ubi Aaron mortuus ac sepultus est; pro quo sacerdotio functus est Eleazar filius eius.

6. (The people of Israel journeyed from Be-er'oth Bene-ja'akan to Mose'rah. There Aaron died, and there he was buried; and his son Elea'zar ministered as priest in his stead.

7. Inde venerunt in Gadgad; de quo loco profecti castrametati sunt in Ietebatha, in terra torrentium aquarum.

7. From there they journeyed to Gud'godah, and from Gud'godah to Jot'bathah, a land with brooks of water.

8. Eo tempore separavit Dominus tribum Levi, ut portaret arcam foederis Domini et staret coram eo in ministerio ac benediceret in nomine illius usque in praesentem diem.

8. At that time the LORD set apart the tribe of Levi to carry the ark of the covenant of the LORD, to stand before the LORD to minister to him and to bless in his name, to this day.

9. Quam ob rem non habuit Levi partem neque hereditatem cum fratribus suis, quia ipse Dominus hereditas eius est, sicut promisit ei Dominus Deus tuus.

9. Therefore Levi has no portion or inheritance with his brothers; the LORD is his inheritance, as the LORD your God said to him.)

10. Ego autem steti in monte sicut prius quadraginta diebus ac noctibus, exaudivitque me Dominus etiam hac vice et te perdere noluit.

10. "I stayed on the mountain, as at the first time, forty days and forty nights, and the LORD hearkened to me that time also; the LORD was unwilling to destroy you.

11. Dixitque mihi: “Surge, vade et praecede populum, ut ingrediatur et possideat terram, quam iuravi patribus eorum, ut traderem eis”.

11. And the LORD said to me, `Arise, go on your journey at the head of the people, that they may go in and possess the land, which I swore to their fathers to give them.'

12. Et nunc, Israel, quid Dominus Deus tuus petit a te, nisi ut timeas Dominum Deum tuum et ambules in viis eius et diligas eum ac servias Domino Deo tuo in toto corde tuo et in tota anima tua

12. "And now, Israel, what does the LORD your God require of you, but to fear the LORD your God, to walk in all his ways, to love him, to serve the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul,

13. custodiasque mandata Domini et praecepta eius, quae ego hodie praecipio, ut bene sit tibi?

13. and to keep the commandments and statutes of the LORD, which I command you this day for your good?

14. En Domini Dei tui caelum est et caelum caeli, terra et omnia, quae in ea sunt;

14. Behold, to the LORD your God belong heaven and the heaven of heavens, the earth with all that is in it;

15. et tamen patribus tuis conglutinatus est Dominus et amavit eos elegitque semen eorum post eos, id est vos, de cunctis gentibus, sicut hodie comprobatur.

15. yet the LORD set his heart in love upon your fathers and chose their descendants after them, you above all peoples, as at this day.

16. Circumcidite igitur praeputium cordis vestri et cervicem vestram, ne induretis amplius,

16. Circumcise therefore the foreskin of your heart, and be no longer stubborn.

17. quia Dominus Deus vester ipse est Deus deorum et Dominus dominantium, Deus magnus, potens et terribilis, qui personam non accipit nec munera,

17. For the LORD your God is God of gods and Lord of lords, the great, the mighty, and the terrible God, who is not partial and takes no bribe.

18. facit iudicium pupillo et viduae, amat peregrinum et dat ei victum atque vestitum.

18. He executes justice for the fatherless and the widow, and loves the sojourner, giving him food and clothing.

19. Et vos ergo, amate peregrinos, quia et ipsi fuistis advenae in terra Aegypti.

19. Love the sojourner therefore; for you were sojourners in the land of Egypt.

20. Dominum Deum tuum timebis et ei servies, ipsi adhaerebis iurabisque in nomine illius.

20. You shall fear the LORD your God; you shall serve him and cleave to him, and by his name you shall swear.

21. Ipse est laus tua et Deus tuus, qui fecit tibi haec magnalia et terribilia, quae viderunt oculi tui.

21. He is your praise; he is your God, who has done for you these great and terrible things which your eyes have seen.

22. In septuaginta animabus descenderunt patres tui in Aegyptum; et ecce nunc multiplicavit te Dominus Deus tuus sicut astra caeli.

22. Your fathers went down to Egypt seventy persons; and now the LORD your God has made you as the stars of heaven for multitude.
