8 — Deuteronomy

1All the commandments, that I command thee this day, take great care to observe: that you may live, and be multiplied, and going in may possess the land, for which the Lord swore to your fathers.Procura diligentemente di osservare tutti i comandamenti, che io oggi ti annunzio; affinché possiate vivere, e moltiplichiate ed entriate a possedere la terra promessa dal Signore con giuramento a' padri vostri.EVERIE commandement, that I command thee this day, take diligent heede that thou doe it: that you may liue, and be multiplied, and entring in may possesse the Land, for the which our Lord sware to your fathers.Omne mandatum, quod ego præcipio tibi hodie, cave diligenter ut facias, ut possitis vivere, et multiplicemini, ingressique possideatis terram, pro qua juravit Dominus patribus vestris. 2And thou shalt remember all the way through which the Lord thy God hath brought thee for forty years through the desert, to afflict thee and to prove thee, and that the things that were in thy heart might be made known, whether thou wouldst keep his commandments or no.Tu terrai a memoria tutto il viaggio che il Signore Dio tuo ti fece fare per quarant'anni nel deserto per umiliarti, e per far prova di te, e affinché si rendesse manifesto quel che tu avevi nel cuore, se tu fossi, o no per adempire i suoi comandamenti.And thou shalt remember al the iourney, through the which the Lord thy God hath brought thee fourtie yeares by the desert, that he might afflict and proue thee, and that the thinges that were in thy hart might be made knowen, whether thou wouldest keepe his commandementes or not.Et recordaberis cuncti itineris, per quod adduxit te Dominus Deus tuus quadraginta annis per desertum, ut affligeret te, atque tentaret, et nota fierent quæ in tuo animo versabantur, utrum custodires mandata illius, an non. 3He afflicted thee with want, and gave thee manna for thy food, which neither thou nor thy fathers knew: to shew that not in bread alone doth man live, but in every word that proceedeth from the mouth of God.Ti afflisse colla penuria, e ti diè per cibo la manna non conosciuta da te, né da' padri tuoi, per farti vedere, come non di solo pane vive l'uomo, ma di qualunque cosa, che Dio avrà ordinato.He afflicted thee with penurie, and gaue thee for meate Manna, which thou knewest not nor thy fathers: for to shew vnto thee that not in bread onlie a man liue, but in euerie word that procedeth from the mouth of God.Afflixit te penuria, et dedit tibi cibum manna, quod ignorabas tu et patres tui: ut ostenderet tibi quod non in solo pane vivat homo, sed in omni verbo quod egreditur de ore Dei. 4Thy raiment, with which thou wast covered, hath not decayed for age, and thy foot is not worn, lo this is the fortieth year,La tua veste, ond'eri coperto, non venne meno per la vecchiezza, e il tuo piede non rimase pesto, ecco che questo è il quarantesimo anno.Thy rayment, wherwith thou wast couered, hath not decayed for age, and thy foote is not worne, loe this is the fourtith yeare.Vestimentum tuum, quo operiebaris, nequaquam vetustate defecit, et pes tuus non est subtritus, en quadragesimus annus est: 5That thou mayst consider in thy heart, that as a man traineth up his son, so the Lord thy God hath trained thee up.E ripensa in cuor tuo, che in quella guisa che un uomo corregge il suo figliuolo, così il Signore Dio tuo ti corresse.That thou mayest recount in thy hart, that as a man disciplineth his sonne, so the Lord thy God hath disciplined thee,ut recogites in corde tuo, quia sicut erudit filium suum homo, sic Dominus Deus tuus erudivit te,

6That thou shouldst keep the commandments of the Lord thy God, and walk in his ways, and fear him.Affinché tu osservi i comandamenti del Signore Dio tuo, e cammini nelle sue vie, e lo tema:that thou shouldest keepe the cōmandementes of the Lord thy God, & walke in his wayes, and feare him.ut custodias mandata Domini Dei tui, et ambules in viis ejus, et timeas eum. 7For the Lord thy God will bring thee into a good land, of brooks and of waters, and of fountains: in the plains of which and the hills deep rivers break out:Conciossiaché il Signore Dio tuo t'introdurrà in questa terra buona, terra di rivi, e di laghi e di fontane: dove e ne' piani, e ne' colli zampillano sorgenti perenni:For the Lord thy God wil bring thee in vnto a good land, a land of riuers & waters and of fountaynes: in the plains wherof and mountaynes deepe floudes gush out:Dominus enim Deus tuus introducet te in terram bonam, terram rivorum, aquarumque et fontium, in cujus campis et montibus erumpunt fluviorum abyssi: 8A land of wheat, and barley, and vineyards, wherein fig trees and pomegranates, and oliveyards grow: a land of oil and honey.Terra da grano, da orzo, e da viti, dove nascono e fichi, e meligranati, e uliveti: terra di olio e di miele,a land of wheate, of barley & vineyardes, wherein figge trees and pomegranates, and oliueyardes doe grow: a land of oyle and honie.terram frumenti, hordei ac vinearum, in qua ficus, et malogranata, et oliveta nascuntur: terram olei ac mellis, 9Where without any want thou shalt eat thy bread, and enjoy abundance of all things: where the stones are iron, and out of its hills are dug mines of brass:Dove senza risparmio mangerai il tuo pane, e goderai abbondanza d'ogni bene: terra, di cui le pietre son ferro, e da' monti si scavan metalli:Where without any penutie thou shalt eate thy bread, and enioy abundance of al thinges: whose stones are yron, and out of the mountaynes therof are digged metalles of brasse:ubi absque ulla penuria comedes panem tuum, et rerum omnium abundantia perfrueris: cujus lapides ferrum sunt, et de montibus ejus æris metalla fodiuntur: 10That when thou hast eaten, and art full, thou mayst bless the Lord thy God for the excellent land which he hath given thee.Affinché quando tu avrai mangiato, e sarai satollo, tu renda grazie al Signore Dio tuo dell'ottima terra, ch'egli ti ha dato.that when thou hast eaten, and art ful, thou mayest blesse the Lord thy God for the excellent land, which he hath geuen thee.ut cum comederis, et satiatus fueris, benedicas Domino Deo tuo pro terra optima, quam dedit tibi.

11Take heed, and beware lest at any time thou forget the Lord thy God, and neglect his commandments and judgments and ceremonies, which I command thee this day:Sta vigilante, e guardati dal dimenticarti giammai del Signore Dio tuo, e dal trascurare i comandamenti di lui, e le leggi, e le cerimonie, che io oggi ti annunzio:Obserue, and beware lest at any time thou forget the Lord thy God, and neglect his commandementes and iudgementes and ceremonies, which I command thee this day:Observa, et cave nequando obliviscaris Domini Dei tui, et negligas mandata ejus atque judicia et cæremonias, quas ego præcipio tibi hodie: 12Lest after thou hast eaten and art filled, hast built goodly houses, and dwelt in them,Abbi cura, che quando avrai mangiato, e sarai satollo, quando avrai edificate di belle case, e le abiterai,lest after thou hast eaten and art filled, hast built goodlie houses, and dwelled in them,ne postquam comederis et satiatus fueris, domos pulchras ædificaveris, et habitaveris in eis, 13And shalt have herds of oxen and flocks of sheep, and plenty of gold and of silver, and of all things,E avrai mandre di buoi, e greggi di pecore, e copia d'oro, d'argento, e di tutte le cose,and shalt haue heardes of oxen and flockes of sheepe, of gold and siluer, and of al thinges plentie,habuerisque armenta boum, et ovium greges, argenti et auri, cunctarumque rerum copiam, 14Thy heart be lifted up, and thou remember not the Lord thy God, who brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage:Non s'inalberi il cuor tuo, onde non ti ricordi del Signore Dio tuo, che ti trasse dalla terra d'Egitto, dalla casa di schiavitù.thy hart be lifted vp, and thou remember not the Lord thy God, that brought thee out of the Land of Aegypt, out of the house of seruitude:elevetur cor tuum, et non reminiscaris Domini Dei tui, qui eduxit te de terra Ægypti, de domo servitutis, 15And was thy leader in the great and terrible wilderness, wherein there was the serpent burning with his breath, and the scorpion and the dipsas, and no waters at all: who brought forth streams out of the hardest rock,E fu tuo condottiere nel deserto grande e terribile, dove erano serpenti, che abbruciavan col fiato, e scorpioni, e dipsadi, e total mancanza di acqua: il quale da durissima pietra fe' sgorgare de' rivi.and was thy conductor in the huge and terrible wildernesse, wherein was the serpent burning with his breath, and the scorpion and the dipsas, and no waters at al: who brought forth riuers out of the hardest rocke,et ductor tuus fuit in solitudine magna atque terribili, in qua erat serpens flatu adurens, et scorpio, ac dipsas, et nullæ omnino aquæ: qui eduxit rivos de petra durissima, 16And fed thee in the wilderness with manna which thy fathers knew not. And after he had afflicted and proved thee, at the last he had mercy on thee,E ti cibò nel deserto colla manna non conosciuta da' padri tuoi. E dopo di averti afflitto e provato, ebbe alla fine misericordia di te.and fed thee with Manna in the wildernesse, which thy fathers knew not. And after he had afflicted and proued thee, at the last he had mercie vpon thee,et cibavit te manna in solitudine, quod nescierunt patres tui. Et postquam afflixit ac probavit, ad extremum misertus est tui, 17Lest thou shouldst say in thy heart: My own might, and the strength of my own hand have achieved all these things for me.Affinché tu in cuor tuo non dicessi: Il mio valore, e il mio braccio forte hanno prodotto a me tutti questi beni.lest thou shouldest say in thy hart: Myne owne force, and the strength of myne owne hand, haue archieued al these thinges for me.ne diceres in corde tuo: Fortitudo mea, et robur manus meæ, hæc mihi omnia præstiterunt:

18But remember the Lord thy God, that he hath given thee strength, that he might fulfil his covenant, concerning which he swore to thy fathers, as this present day sheweth.Ma ti ricordi, come il Signore Dio tuo è quegli che ti diè forza affin di adempire il patto fermato con giuramento co' padri tuoi, come il dì d'oggi dimostra.But remember the Lord thy God, that he hath geuen thee strength, that he might fulfil his couenant, concerning which he sware to thy fathers, as this present day sheweth.sed recorderis Domini Dei tui, quod ipse vires tibi præbuerit, ut impleret pactum suum, super quo juravit patribus tuis, sicut præsens indicat dies. 19But if thou forget the Lord thy God, and follow strange gods, and serve and adore them: behold now I foretell thee that thou shalt utterly perish.Ma se tu dimentico del Signore Dio tuo andrai dietro agli dii stranieri, e loro renderai culto, e gli adorerai, ecco che io ti profetizzo, che tu andrai totalmente in ruina.But if forgetting the Lord thy God, thou shalt folow strange goddes, and shalt serue and adore them: behold now I foretel thee that thou shalt perish vtterly.Sin autem oblitus Domini Dei tui, secutus fueris deos alienos, coluerisque illos et adoraveris: ecce nunc prædico tibi quod omnino dispereas. 20As the nations, which the Lord destroyed at thy entrance, so shall you also perish, if you be disobedient to the voice of the Lord your God.Appunto come quelle nazioni, le quali dal Signore sono state distrutte alla tua venuta: così voi pur perirete, se sarete disobbedienti alla voce del Signore Dio vostro.As the Nations, which our Lord destroyed at thyne entrie, so shal you also perish, if you be disobedient to the voice of the Lord your God.Sicut gentes, quas delevit Dominus in introitu tuo, ita et vos peribitis, si inobedientes fueritis voci Domini Dei vestri.
