Deuteronomy 32

audite caeli quae loquor audiat terra verba oris mei

Give ear, O ye heavens, and I will speak; and hear, O earth, the words of my mouth.

concrescat in pluvia doctrina mea fluat ut ros eloquium meum quasi imber super herbam et quasi stillae super gramina

My doctrine shall drop as the rain, my speech shall distil as the dew, as the small rain upon the tender herb, and as the showers upon the grass:

quia nomen Domini invocabo date magnificentiam Deo nostro

Because I will publish the name of the LORD: ascribe ye greatness unto our God.

Dei perfecta sunt opera et omnes viae eius iudicia Deus fidelis et absque ulla iniquitate iustus et rectus

He is the Rock, his work is perfect: for all his ways are judgment: a God of truth and without iniquity, just and right is he.

peccaverunt ei non filii eius in sordibus generatio prava atque perversa

They have corrupted themselves, their spot is not the spot of his children: they are a perverse and crooked generation.

haecine reddis Domino popule stulte et insipiens numquid non ipse est pater tuus qui possedit et fecit et creavit te

Do ye thus requite the LORD, O foolish people and unwise? is not he thy father that hath bought thee? hath he not made thee, and established thee?

memento dierum antiquorum cogita generationes singulas interroga patrem tuum et adnuntiabit tibi maiores tuos et dicent tibi

Remember the days of old, consider the years of many generations: ask thy father, and he will shew thee; thy elders, and they will tell thee.

quando dividebat Altissimus gentes quando separabat filios Adam constituit terminos populorum iuxta numerum filiorum Israhel

When the most High divided to the nations their inheritance, when he separated the sons of Adam, he set the bounds of the people according to the number of the children of Israel.

pars autem Domini populus eius Iacob funiculus hereditatis eius

For the LORD'S portion is his people; Jacob is the lot of his inheritance.

invenit eum in terra deserta in loco horroris et vastae solitudinis circumduxit eum et docuit et custodivit quasi pupillam oculi sui

He found him in a desert land, and in the waste howling wilderness; he led him about, he instructed him, he kept him as the apple of his eye.

sicut aquila provocans ad volandum pullos suos et super eos volitans expandit alas suas et adsumpsit eum atque portavit in umeris suis

As an eagle stirreth up her nest, fluttereth over her young, spreadeth abroad her wings, taketh them, beareth them on her wings:

Dominus solus dux eius fuit et non erat cum eo deus alienus

So the LORD alone did lead him, and there was no strange god with him.

constituit eum super excelsam terram ut comederet fructus agrorum ut sugeret mel de petra oleumque de saxo durissimo

He made him ride on the high places of the earth, that he might eat the increase of the fields; and he made him to suck honey out of the rock, and oil out of the flinty rock;

butyrum de armento et lac de ovibus cum adipe agnorum et arietum filiorum Basan et hircos cum medulla tritici et sanguinem uvae biberet meracissimum

Butter of kine, and milk of sheep, with fat of lambs, and rams of the breed of Bashan, and goats, with the fat of kidneys of wheat; and thou didst drink the pure blood of the grape.

incrassatus est dilectus et recalcitravit incrassatus inpinguatus dilatatus dereliquit Deum factorem suum et recessit a Deo salutari suo

But Jeshurun waxed fat, and kicked: thou art waxen fat, thou art grown thick, thou art covered with fatness; then he forsook God which made him, and lightly esteemed the Rock of his salvation.

provocaverunt eum in diis alienis et in abominationibus ad iracundiam concitaverunt

They provoked him to jealousy with strange gods, with abominations provoked they him to anger.

immolaverunt daemonibus et non Deo diis quos ignorabant novi recentesque venerunt quos non coluerunt patres eorum

They sacrificed unto devils, not to God; to gods whom they knew not, to new gods that came newly up, whom your fathers feared not.

Deum qui te genuit dereliquisti et oblitus es Domini creatoris tui

Of the Rock that begat thee thou art unmindful, and hast forgotten God that formed thee.

vidit Dominus et ad iracundiam concitatus est quia provocaverunt eum filii sui et filiae

And when the LORD saw it, he abhorred them, because of the provoking of his sons, and of his daughters.

et ait abscondam faciem meam ab eis et considerabo novissima eorum generatio enim perversa est et infideles filii

And he said, I will hide my face from them, I will see what their end shall be: for they are a very froward generation, children in whom is no faith.

ipsi me provocaverunt in eo qui non erat Deus et inritaverunt in vanitatibus suis et ego provocabo eos in eo qui non est populus et in gente stulta inritabo illos

They have moved me to jealousy with that which is not God; they have provoked me to anger with their vanities: and I will move them to jealousy with those which are not a people; I will provoke them to anger with a foolish nation.

ignis succensus est in furore meo et ardebit usque ad inferni novissima devorabitque terram cum germine suo et montium fundamenta conburet

For a fire is kindled in mine anger, and shall burn unto the lowest hell, and shall consume the earth with her increase, and set on fire the foundations of the mountains.

congregabo super eos mala et sagittas meas conplebo in eis

I will heap mischiefs upon them; I will spend mine arrows upon them.

consumentur fame et devorabunt eos aves morsu amarissimo dentes bestiarum inmittam in eos cum furore trahentium super terram atque serpentium

They shall be burnt with hunger, and devoured with burning heat, and with bitter destruction: I will also send the teeth of beasts upon them, with the poison of serpents of the dust.

foris vastabit eos gladius et intus pavor iuvenem simul ac virginem lactantem cum homine sene

The sword without, and terror within, shall destroy both the young man and the virgin, the suckling also with the man of gray hairs.

dixi ubinam sunt cessare faciam ex hominibus memoriam eorum

I said, I would scatter them into corners, I would make the remembrance of them to cease from among men:

sed propter iram inimicorum distuli ne forte superbirent hostes eorum et dicerent manus nostra excelsa et non Dominus fecit haec omnia

Were it not that I feared the wrath of the enemy, lest their adversaries should behave themselves strangely, and lest they should say, Our hand is high, and the LORD hath not done all this.

gens absque consilio est et sine prudentia

For they are a nation void of counsel, neither is there any understanding in them.

utinam saperent et intellegerent ac novissima providerent

O that they were wise, that they understood this, that they would consider their latter end!

quomodo persequatur unus mille et duo fugent decem milia nonne ideo quia Deus suus vendidit eos et Dominus conclusit illos

How should one chase a thousand, and two put ten thousand to flight, except their Rock had sold them, and the LORD had shut them up?

non enim est Deus noster ut deus eorum et inimici nostri sunt iudices

For their rock is not as our Rock, even our enemies themselves being judges.

de vinea Sodomorum vinea eorum et de suburbanis Gomorrae uva eorum uva fellis et botri amarissimi

For their vine is of the vine of Sodom, and of the fields of Gomorrah: their grapes are grapes of gall, their clusters are bitter:

fel draconum vinum eorum et venenum aspidum insanabile

Their wine is the poison of dragons, and the cruel venom of asps.

nonne haec condita sunt apud me et signata in thesauris meis

Is not this laid up in store with me, and sealed up among my treasures?

mea est ultio et ego retribuam in tempore ut labatur pes eorum iuxta est dies perditionis et adesse festinant tempora

To me belongeth vengeance, and recompence; their foot shall slide in due time: for the day of their calamity is at hand, and the things that shall come upon them make haste.

iudicabit Dominus populum suum et in servis suis miserebitur videbit quod infirmata sit manus et clausi quoque defecerint residuique consumpti sint

For the LORD shall judge his people, and repent himself for his servants, when he seeth that their power is gone, and there is none shut up, or left.

et dicet ubi sunt dii eorum in quibus habebant fiduciam

And he shall say, Where are their gods, their rock in whom they trusted,

de quorum victimis comedebant adipes et bibebant vinum libaminum surgant et opitulentur vobis et in necessitate vos protegant

Which did eat the fat of their sacrifices, and drank the wine of their drink offerings? let them rise up and help you, and be your protection.

videte quod ego sim solus et non sit alius deus praeter me ego occidam et ego vivere faciam percutiam et ego sanabo et non est qui de manu mea possit eruere

See now that I, even I, am he, and there is no god with me: I kill, and I make alive; I wound, and I heal: neither is there any that can deliver out of my hand.

levabo ad caelum manum meam et dicam vivo ego in aeternum

For I lift up my hand to heaven, and say, I live for ever.

si acuero ut fulgur gladium meum et arripuerit iudicium manus mea reddam ultionem hostibus meis et his qui oderunt me retribuam

If I whet my glittering sword, and mine hand take hold on judgment; I will render vengeance to mine enemies, and will reward them that hate me.

inebriabo sagittas meas sanguine et gladius meus devorabit carnes de cruore occisorum et de captivitate nudati inimicorum capitis

I will make mine arrows drunk with blood, and my sword shall devour flesh; and that with the blood of the slain and of the captives, from the beginning of revenges upon the enemy.

laudate gentes populum eius quia sanguinem servorum suorum ulciscetur et vindictam retribuet in hostes eorum et propitius erit terrae populi sui

Rejoice, O ye nations, with his people: for he will avenge the blood of his servants, and will render vengeance to his adversaries, and will be merciful unto his land, and to his people.

venit ergo Moses et locutus est omnia verba cantici huius in auribus populi ipse et Iosue filius Nun

And Moses came and spake all the words of this song in the ears of the people, he, and Hoshea the son of Nun.

conplevitque omnes sermones istos loquens ad universum Israhel

And Moses made an end of speaking all these words to all Israel:

et dixit ad eos ponite corda vestra in omnia verba quae ego testificor vobis hodie ut mandetis ea filiis vestris custodire et facere et implere universa quae scripta sunt legis huius

And he said unto them, Set your hearts unto all the words which I testify among you this day, which ye shall command your children to observe to do, all the words of this law.

quia non in cassum praecepta sunt vobis sed ut singuli in eis viverent quae facientes longo perseveretis tempore in terra ad quam Iordane transmisso ingredimini possidendam

For it is not a vain thing for you; because it is your life: and through this thing ye shall prolong your days in the land, whither ye go over Jordan to possess it.

locutusque est Dominus ad Mosen in eadem die dicens

And the LORD spake unto Moses that selfsame day, saying,

ascende in montem istum Abarim id est transituum in montem Nebo qui est in terra Moab contra Hiericho et vide terram Chanaan quam ego tradam filiis Israhel obtinendam et morere in monte

Get thee up into this mountain Abarim, unto mount Nebo, which is in the land of Moab, that is over against Jericho; and behold the land of Canaan, which I give unto the children of Israel for a possession:

quem conscendens iungeris populis tuis sicut mortuus est Aaron frater tuus in monte Hor et adpositus populis suis

And die in the mount whither thou goest up, and be gathered unto thy people; as Aaron thy brother died in mount Hor, and was gathered unto his people:

quia praevaricati estis contra me in medio filiorum Israhel ad aquas Contradictionis in Cades deserti Sin et non sanctificastis me inter filios Israhel

Because ye trespassed against me among the children of Israel at the waters of Meribah–Kadesh, in the wilderness of Zin; because ye sanctified me not in the midst of the children of Israel.

e contra videbis terram et non ingredieris in eam quam ego dabo filiis Israhel

Yet thou shalt see the land before thee; but thou shalt not go thither unto the land which I give the children of Israel.
