31 — Deuteronomio

1And Moses went, and spoke all these words to all Israel,Andò adunque Mosè, e dichiarò tutte queste cose a tutto quanto Israele,MOYSES therfore went, and spake al these wordes to al Israel,Abiit itaque Moyses, et locutus est omnia verba hæc ad universum Israël, 2And he said to them: I am this day a hundred and twenty years old, I can no longer go out and come in, especially as the Lord also hath said to me: Thou shalt not pass over this Jordan.E disse loro: Io sono oggi in età di cento venti anni, non posso più andare, e venire, particolarmente avendomi detto il Signore: Tu non passerai questo fiume Giordano.and said to them: I am this day a hundred and twentie yeares old, I can not goe out and come in any longer, especially wheras our Lord also hath said to me: Thou shalt not passe ouer this Iordan.et dixit ad eos: Centum viginti annorum sum hodie; non possum ultra egredi et ingredi, præsertim cum et Dominus dixerit mihi: Non transibis Jordanem istum. 3The Lord thy God then will pass over before thee: he will destroy all these nations in thy sight, and thou shalt possess them: and this Josue shall go over before thee, as the Lord hath spoken.Il Signore Dio tuo andrà adunque innanzi a te: egli sterminerà al tuo ingresso tutte queste nazioni, e tu avrai il loro dominio, e questo Giosuè passerà innanzi a te, come ha detto il Signore.Our Lord therfore thy God wil passe ouer before thee: he wil destroy al these nations in thy sight, and thou shalt possesse them: and this Iosue shal passe ouer before thee, as our Lord hath spoken.Dominus ergo Deus tuus transibit ante te: ipse delebit omnes gentes has in conspectu tuo, et possidebis eas: et Josue iste transibit ante te, sicut locutus est Dominus. 4And the Lord shall do to them as he did to Sehon and Og the kings of the Amorrhites, and to their land, and shall destroy them.E il Signore farà a quelle genti, come fece a Sehon, e ad Og regi degli Amorrhei e al loro paese, e le sterminerà.And our Lord shal doe to them as he did to Sehon and Og the kinges of the Ammorheites, and to their land, and shal destroy them.Facietque Dominus eis sicut fecit Sehon et Og regibus Amorrhæorum, et terræ eorum, delebitque eos. 5Therefore when the Lord shall have delivered these also to you, you shall do in like manner to them as I have commanded you.Quando adunque anche queste avrà egli date in vostro potere, voi farete riguardo ad esse, come io vi ho ordinato.Therfore when our Lord shal haue deliuered these also to you, you shal doe in like manner to them as I haue commanded you.Cum ergo et hos tradiderit vobis, similiter facietis eis, sicut præcepi vobis.

6Do manfully and be of good heart: fear not, nor be ye dismayed at their sight: for the Lord thy God he himself is thy leader, and will not leave thee nor forsake thee.Fatevi cuore, siate costanti; non vi prenda timore, o sbigottimento al cospetto di esse: perocché il Signore Dio tuo egli è tuo condottiere, e non ti lascerà, e non ti abbandonerà.Doe manfully, and be strengthned: feare not, neither tremble ye at their sight: because our Lord thy God him selfe is thy conductor, and wil not leaue, nor forsake thee.Viriliter agite, et confortamini: nolite timere, nec paveatis ad conspectum eorum: quia Dominus Deus tuus ipse est ductor tuus, et non dimittet, nec derelinquet te. 7And Moses called Josue, and said to him before all Israel: Take courage, and be valiant: for thou shalt bring this people into the land which the Lord swore he would give to their fathers, and thou shalt divide it by lot.E Mosè chiamò Giosuè, e alla presenza di tutto Israele gli disse: Fatti coraggio, e prendi vigore: perocché tu introdurrai questo popolo nella terra che il Signore giurò di dare ai padri loro, e tu la dividerai a sorte.And Moyses called Iosue, and said to him before al Israel: Take courage, and be strong: for thou shalt bring in this people into the Land, which our Lord sware that he would geue to their fathers, and thou shalt diuide it by lotte.Vocavitque Moyses Josue, et dixit ei coram omni Israël: Confortare, et esto robustus: tu enim introduces populum istum in terram, quam daturum se patribus eorum juravit Dominus, et tu eam sorte divides. 8And the Lord who is your leader, he himself will be with thee: he will not leave thee, nor forsake thee: fear not, neither be dismayed.E il Signore che è vostro condottiere, sarà egli con te: non ti lascerà, e non ti abbandonerà: non temere, e non isbigottirti.And our Lord that is your conductor, him selfe wil be with thee: he wil not leaue, nor forsake thee: feare not, neither dread thou.Et Dominus qui ductor est vester, ipse erit tecum: non dimittet, nec derelinquet te: noli timere, nec paveas. 9And Moses wrote this law, and delivered it to the priests the sons of Levi, who carried the ark of the covenant of the Lord, and to all the ancients of Israel.Scrisse adunque Mosè questa legge, e la diede ai sacerdoti figliuoli di Levi, i quali portavano l'arca dell'alleanza del Signore, e a tutti i seniori d'Israele.Moyses therfore wrote this law, and deliuered it to the priestes the sonnes of Leui, which caried the arke of the couenant of our Lord, and to al the ancientes of Israel.Scripsit itaque Moyses legem hanc, et tradidit eam sacerdotibus filiis Levi, qui portabant arcam fœderis Domini, et cunctis senioribus Israël.

10And he commanded them, saying: After seven years, in the year of remission, in the feast of tabernacles,E ordinò loro, e disse: Ogni sette anni, nell'anno di remissione alla solennità de' tabernacoli,And he commanded them saying: After seuen yeares, in the yeare of remission, in the solemnitie of tabernacles,Præcepitque eis, dicens: Post septem annos, anno remissionis, in solemnitate tabernaculorum, 11When all Israel come together, to appear in the sight of the Lord thy God in the place which the Lord shall choose, thou shalt read the words of this law before all Israel, in their hearing.Raunato tutto Israele per presentarsi al cospetto del Signore Dio tuo, nel luogo eletto dal Signore leggerai le parole di questa legge dinanzi a tutto Israele, il quale ascolterà.when al come together out of Israel, to appeare in the sight of our Lord thy God in the place, which our Lord shal choose, thou shalt read the wordes of this law before al Israel, they hearing,convenientibus cunctis ex Israël, ut appareant in conspectu Domini Dei tui in loco quem elegerit Dominus, leges verba legis hujus coram omni Israël, audientibus eis, 12And the people being all assembled together, both men and women, children and strangers, that are within thy gates: that hearing they may learn, and fear the Lord your God, and keep, and fulfil all the words of this law:Raunati tutti insieme tanto uomini, come donne, e i ragazzi, e i forestieri che abitano nelle tue città: affinché udendo imparino a temere il Signore Dio vostro, e custodiscano, e adempiano tutte le parole di questa legge:and the people being assembled together, as wel men as wemen, children, and strangers, that are within thy gates: that hearing they may learne, and feare our Lord your God, and keepe, and fulfil al the wordes of this law.et in unum omni populo congregato, tam viris quam mulieribus, parvulis, et advenis, qui sunt intra portas tuas: ut audientes discant, et timeant Dominum Deum vestrum, et custodiant, impleantque omnes sermones legis hujus. 13That their children also, who now are ignorant, may hear, and fear the Lord their God, all the days that they live in the land whither you are going over the Jordan to possess it.E affinché anche i vostri figliuoli che ora non intendono, possano udire, e temano il Signore Dio loro per tutti i giorni, che staranno nella terra, della quale andate a prender possesso, passato il Giordano.Their children also who now are ignorant; that they may heare, and feare our Lord their God, al the daies that they liue in the Land, which passing ouer Iordan you goe to obteyne.Filii quoque eorum qui nunc ignorant, ut audire possint, et timeant Dominum Deum suum cunctis diebus quibus versantur in terra, ad quam vos, Jordane transmisso, pergitis obtinendam.

14And the Lord said to Moses: Behold the days of thy death are nigh: call Josue, and stand ye in the tabernacle of the testimony, that I may give him a charge. So Moses and Josue went and stood in the tabernacle of the testimony:E il Signore disse a Mosè: Si avvicina ormai il giorno della tua morte: chiama Giosuè, e tenetevi nel tabernacolo del testamento, affinché io gli dia ordini. Andarono adunque Mosè, e Giosuè, e si fermarono nel tabernacolo del testamento:And our Lord said to Moyses: Behold the daies of thy death are nigh: cal Iosue, and stand ye in the tabernacle of testimonie, that I may command him. Moyses therfore and Iosue went, and stoode in the tabernacle of testimonie,Et ait Dominus ad Moysen: Ecce prope sunt dies mortis tuæ: voca Josue, et state in tabernaculo testimonii, ut præcipiam ei. Abierunt ergo Moyses et Josue, et steterunt in tabernaculo testimonii: 15And the Lord appeared there in the pillar of a cloud, which stood in the entry of the tabernacle.E il Signore ivi apparve nella colonna della nuvola, la quale si posò all'ingresso del tabernacolo.and our Lord appeared there in the piller of a cloude: which stood in the entring of the tabernacle.apparuitque Dominus ibi in columna nubis, quæ stetit in introitu tabernaculi. 16And the Lord said to Moses: Behold thou shalt sleep with thy fathers, and this people rising up will go a fornicating after strange gods in the land, to which it goeth in to dwell: there will they forsake me, and will make void the covenant, which I have made with them,E il Signore disse a Mosè: Ecco che tu ti addormirai co' padri tuoi, e questo popolo si leverà su, e peccherà cogli dei stranieri nella terra, in cui entra per abitarvi: ivi mi abbandonerà, e violerà il patto fermato con lui da me.And our Lord said to Moyses: Behold thou shalt sleepe with thy fathers, and this people rysing vp wil fornicate after strange goddes in the Land, to the which it entreth to dwel therein: there wil they forsake me, and wil make the couenant, which I haue made with them, of none effect.Dixitque Dominus ad Moysen: Ecce tu dormies cum patribus tuis, et populus iste consurgens fornicabitur post deos alienos in terra, ad quam ingreditur ut habitet in ea: ibi derelinquet me, et irritum faciet fœdus, quod pepigi cum eo. 17And my wrath shall be kindled against them in that day: and I will forsake them, and will hide my face from them, and they shall be devoured: all evils and afflictions shall find them, so that they shall say in that day: In truth it is because God is not with me, that these evils have found me.E il mio furore si accenderà contro di lui in quel giorno: e io lo abbandonerò, e nasconderò a lui la mia faccia, ed ei sarà dato in preda: e cadranno sopra di lui tutti i mali, e sciagure, talmente che dirà egli in quel dì: Veramente perché Dio non è meco, mi son venuti addosso tutti questi mali.And my furie shal be wrath against them in that day: and I wil forsake them, and wil hide my face from them, and they shal be deuoured: al euils and afflictions shal finde them, so that they shal say in that day: In truth because God is not with me, these euils haue found me.Et irascetur furor meus contra eum in die illo: et derelinquam eum, et abscondam faciem meam ab eo, et erit in devorationem: invenient eum omnia mala et afflictiones, ita ut dicat in illo die: Vere quia non est Deus mecum, invenerunt me hæc mala.

18But I will hide, and cover my face in that day, for all the evils which they have done, because they have followed strange gods.E io asconderò, e celerò a lui in quel dì la mia faccia a causa di tutti i mali fatti da lui in andando dietro agli dei stranieri.But I wil hide, and keepe close my face in that day, for al the euils, which they haue done, because they haue folowed strange goddes.Ego autem abscondam, et celabo faciem meam in die illo propter omnia mala, quæ fecit, quia secutus est deos alienos. 19Now therefore write you this canticle, and teach the children of Israel: that they may know it by heart, and sing it by mouth, and this song may be unto me for a testimony among the children of Israel.Adesso pertanto scrivete voi questo cantico, e insegnatelo a' figliuoli d'Israele, affinché lo imparino a memoria, e lo cantino; e questo cantico sia una testimonianza per me tra' figliuoli d'Israele.Now therfore write vnto you this canticle, and teach the children of Israel: that they know it by hart, and sing it by mouth, and this song be vnto me for a testimonie among the children of Israel.Nunc itaque scribite vobis canticum istud, et docete filios Israël: ut memoriter teneant, et ore decantent, et sit mihi carmen istud pro testimonio inter filios Israël. 20For I will bring them into the land, for which I swore to their fathers, that floweth with milk and honey. And when they have eaten, and are full and fat, they will turn away after strange gods, and will serve them: and will despise me, and make void my covenant.Perocché io gl'introdurrò nella terra che scorre latte, e miele, promessa da me con giuramento a' padri loro. Ed eglino quando avranno mangiato, e saranno satolli, e ingrassati, si rivolgeranno agli dei stranieri, e li serviranno: e parleranno contro di me, e violeranno il mio patto.For I wil bring them into the Land, for the which I sware to their fathers, flowing with milke and honie. And when they haue eaten, and are ful, and fatte, they wil turne away to strange goddes, and serue them: and wil detract from me, and make my couenant of none effect.Introducam enim eum in terram, pro qua juravi patribus ejus, lacte et melle manantem. Cumque comederint, et saturati, crassique fuerint, avertentur ad deos alienos, et servient eis: detrahentque mihi, et irritum facient pactum meum. 21And after many evils and afflictions shall have come upon them, this canticle shall answer them for a testimony, which no oblivion shall take away out of the mouth of their seed. For I know their thoughts, and what they are about to do this day, before that I bring them into the land which I have promised them.E allora quando saran caduti sopra di lui molti mali, e sciagure, parlerà contro di essi qual testimone questo cantico, il quale essendo nelle bocche dei loro figliuoli, non sarà mai dimenticato. Imperocché io so i suoi pensieri, e quello ch'ei farà oggi, prima che io lo introduca nella terra, che gli ho promesso.After that manie euils and afflictions shal haue found them, this canticle shal answer them for a testimonie, which no obliuion shal take away out of the mouth of their seede. For I know their cogitations, what thinges they are about to doe this day, before that I bring them into the Land, which I haue promised them.Postquam invenerint eum mala multa et afflictiones, respondebit ei canticum istud pro testimonio, quod nulla delebit oblivio ex ore seminis sui. Scio enim cogitationes ejus, quæ facturus sit hodie, antequam introducam eum in terram, quam ei pollicitus sum.

22Moses therefore wrote the canticle, and taught it to the children of Israel.Scrisse adunque Mosè il cantico, e lo insegnò ai figliuoli d'Israele.Moyses therfore wrote the canticle, and taught it the children of Israel.Scripsit ergo Moyses canticum, et docuit filios Israël. 23And the Lord commanded Josue the son of Nun, and said: Take courage, and be valiant: for thou shalt bring the children of Israel into the land which I have promised, and I will be with thee.E il Signore ordinò, e disse a Giosuè figliuolo di Nun: Fatti coraggio, e prendi vigore, imperocché tu introdurrai i figliuoli d'Israele nella terra che io loro promisi, e io sarò teco.And our Lord commanded Iosue the sonne of Nun, and said: Take courage, and be strong: for thou shalt bring the children of Israel into the Land, which I haue promised, and I wil be with theePræcepitque Dominus Josue filio Nun, et ait: Confortare, et esto robustus: tu enim introduces filios Israël in terram, quam pollicitus sum, et ego ero tecum. 24Therefore after Moses had wrote the words of this law in a volume, and finished it:Quando adunque Mosè ebbe finito di scrivere in un libro le parole di questa legge,Therfore after that Moyses wrote the wordes of this law in a volume, and finished it:Postquam ergo scripsit Moyses verba legis hujus in volumine, atque complevit, 25He commanded the Levites, who carried the ark of the covenant of the Lord, saying:Ordinò, e disse ai Leviti, i quali portavan l'arca del testamento del Signore:he commanded the Leuites, that caried the arke of the couenant of our Lord, saying:præcepit Levitis, qui portabant arcam fœderis Domini, dicens: 26Take this book, and put it in the side of the ark of the covenant of the Lord your God: that it may be there for a testimony against thee.Prendete questo libro, e mettetelo in un lato dell'arca del testamento del Signore Dio vostro; affinché ivi rimanga qual testimone contro di te (o Israele):Take this booke, and put it in the side of the arke of the couenant of our Lord your God: that it may be for a testimonie against thee.Tollite librum istum, et ponite eum in latere arcæ fœderis Domini Dei vestri: ut sit ibi contra te in testimonium. 27For I know thy obstinacy, and thy most stiff neck. While I am yet living, and going in with you, you have always been rebellious against the Lord: how much more when I shall be dead?Imperocché io conosco la tua contumacia, e la durezza grande della tua testa. Tuttora vivendo io, e conversando con voi, sempre voi altercaste contro il Signore: quanto più allorché io sarò morto?For I know thy contention, and thy most stiffe necke. Whiles I yet liue and goe in with you, you haue done alwayes contenciously against our Lord: how much more when I shal be dead.Ego enim scio contentionem tuam, et cervicem tuam durissimam. Adhuc vivente me et ingrediente vobiscum, semper contentiose egistis contra Dominum: quanto magis cum mortuus fuero ?

28Gather unto me all the ancients of your tribes, and your doctors, and I will speak these words in their hearing, and will call heaven and earth to witness against them.Raunate dinanzi a me tutti i seniori di ciascheduna delle vostre tribù, e i dottori; e io esporrò dinanzi a loro le mie parole, e invocherò contro di essi il cielo, e la terra.Gather to me al the ancientes by your tribes, and your doctors, and I wil speake these wordes in their hearing, and wil inuocate against them heauen and earth.Congregate ad me omnes majores natu per tribus vestras, atque doctores, et loquar audientibus eis sermones istos, et invocabo contra eos cælum et terram. 29For I know that, after my death, you will do wickedly, and will quickly turn aside from the way that I have commanded you: and evils shall come upon you in the latter times, when you shall do evil in the sight of the Lord, to provoke him by the works of your hands.Perocché io so, come voi dopo la mia morte vi porterete iniquamente, e uscirete ben presto fuori della strada, che io vi ho insegnata: e vi avverranno molti mali negli ultimi tempi, allorché avrete fatto il male al cospetto del Signore, provocandolo a sdegno colle opere delle vostre mani.For I know that after my death you wil doe wickedly, and wil decline quickly from the way, that I haue commanded you: and euils shal come vpon you in the later times, when you shal doe euil in the sight of our Lord, to prouoke him by the workes of your handes.Novi enim quod post mortem meam inique agetis, et declinabitis cito de via, quam præcepi vobis: et occurrent vobis mala in extremo tempore, quando feceritis malum in conspectu Domini, ut irritetis eum per opera manuum vestrarum. 30Moses therefore spoke, in the hearing of the whole assembly of Israel, the words of this canticle, and finished it even to the end.Intonò adunque Mosè, e recitò sino al fine le parole di questo cantico, stando l'adunanza tutta d'Israele ad ascoltarlo.Moyses therfore spake, in the hearing of the whole assemblie of Israel, the wordes of this song, and finished it euen to the end.Locutus est ergo Moyses, audiente universo cœtu Israël, verba carminis hujus, et ad finem usque complevit.
