Liber Deuteronomii, 27

1. Praecepit autem Moyses et seniores Israel populo dicen tes: “Custodite omne mandatum, quod praecipio vobis hodie.

1. Now Moses and the elders of Israel commanded the people, saying, "Keep all the commandment which I command you this day.

2. Cumque transieritis Iordanem in terram, quam Dominus Deus tuus dabit tibi, eriges ingentes lapides et calce obduces eos,

2. And on the day you pass over the Jordan to the land which the LORD your God gives you, you shall set up large stones, and plaster them with plaster;

3. ut possis in eis scribere omnia verba legis huius, Iordane transmisso, ut introeas terram, quam Dominus Deus tuus dabit tibi, terram lacte et melle manantem, sicut locutus est Dominus, Deus patrum tuorum, tibi.

3. and you shall write upon them all the words of this law, when you pass over to enter the land which the LORD your God gives you, a land flowing with milk and honey, as the LORD, the God of your fathers, has promised you.

4. Quando ergo transieritis Iordanem, erigite istos lapides, sicut ego hodie praecipio vobis, in monte Hebal, et obduces eos calce;

4. And when you have passed over the Jordan, you shall set up these stones, concerning which I command you this day, on Mount Ebal, and you shall plaster them with plaster.

5. et aedificabis ibi altare Domino Deo tuo de lapidibus, quos ferrum non tetigit,

5. And there you shall build an altar to the LORD your God, an altar of stones; you shall lift up no iron tool upon them.

6. de saxis impolitis, et offeres super eo holocausta Domino Deo tuo.

6. You shall build an altar to the LORD your God of unhewn stones; and you shall offer burnt offerings on it to the LORD your God;

7. Et immolabis hostias pacificas comedesque ibi et epulaberis coram Domino Deo tuo;

7. and you shall sacrifice peace offerings, and shall eat there; and you shall rejoice before the LORD your God.

8. et scribes super lapides omnia verba legis huius plane et lucide”.

8. And you shall write upon the stones all the words of this law very plainly."

9. Dixeruntque Moyses et sacerdotes levitici generis ad omnem Israelem: “Attende et audi, Israel: hodie factus es populus Domino Deo tuo;

9. And Moses and the Levitical priests said to all Israel, "Keep silence and hear, O Israel: this day you have become the people of the LORD your God.

10. audies vocem eius et facies mandata atque praecepta, quae ego praecipio tibi”.

10. You shall therefore obey the voice of the LORD your God, keeping his commandments and his statutes, which I command you this day."

11. Praecepitque Moyses populo in die illo dicens:

11. And Moses charged the people the same day, saying,

12. “Hi stabunt ad benedicendum populo super montem Garizim, Iordane transmisso: Simeon, Levi, Iudas, Issachar, Ioseph et Beniamin.

12. "When you have passed over the Jordan, these shall stand upon Mount Ger'izim to bless the people: Simeon, Levi, Judah, Is'sachar, Joseph, and Benjamin.

13. Et e regione isti stabunt ad maledicendum in monte Hebal: Ruben, Gad et Aser et Zabulon, Dan et Nephthali.

13. And these shall stand upon Mount Ebal for the curse: Reuben, Gad, Asher, Zeb'ulun, Dan, and Naph'tali.

14. And the Levites shall declare to all the men of Israel with a loud voice:
