7 — Deuteronomio

1When the Lord thy God shall have brought thee into the land, which thou art going in to possess, and shall have destroyed many nations before thee, the Hethite, and the Gergezite, and the Amorrhite, and the Chanaanite, and the Pherezite, and the Hevite, and the Jebusite, seven nations much more numerous than thou art, and stronger than thou:Quando il Signore Dio tuo ti avrà introdotto nella terra, di cui entrerai in possesso, e avrà disperse innanzi a te varie genti, l'Hetheo, e il Gergezeo, e l'Amorrheo, il Cananeo, e il Pherezeo, e l'Heveo, e il Jebuseo, sette nazioni molto più numerose e possenti che tu non sei:VVHEN the Lord thy God shal haue brought thee into the land, which thou doest enter in to possesse, and shal haue destroyed manie Nations before thee, the Hetheite, and the Gergezeite, and the Amorrheite, and the Chananeite, and the Pherezeite, and the Heueite, and the Iebuseite, seuen nations of much greater number then thou art, and stronger then thou:Cum introduxerit te Dominus Deus tuus in terram, quam possessurus ingredieris, et deleverit gentes multas coram te, Hethæum, et Gergezæum, et Amorrhæum, Chananæum, et Pherezæum, et Hevæum, et Jebusæum, septem gentes multo majoris numeri quam tu es, et robustiores te: 2And the Lord thy God shall have delivered them to thee, thou shalt utterly destroy them. Thou shalt make no league with them, nor shew mercy to them:E quando il Signore Dio tuo le avrà date in tuo potere, le sterminerai interamente. Non farai con esse alleanza, né userai con esse misericordia.and the Lord thy God shal haue deliuered them to thee, thou shalt strike them vnto vtter destruction. Thou shalt not make league with them, nor pitie them,tradideritque eas Dominus Deus tuus tibi, percuties eas usque ad internecionem. Non inibis cum eis fœdus, nec misereberis earum, 3Neither shalt thou make marriages with them. Thou shalt not give thy daughter to his son, nor take his daughter for thy son:E non contrarrai matrimonii con loro. Non darai la tua figliuola a un uomo di quella stirpe, né prenderai la figliuola di lui pel tuo figliuolo:nor make mariages with them. Thy daughter thou shalt not geue to his sonne, nor take his daughter for thy sonne:neque sociabis cum eis conjugia. Filiam tuam non dabis filio ejus, nec filiam illius accipies filio tuo: 4For she will turn away thy son from following me, that he may rather serve strange gods, and the wrath of the Lord will be kindled, and will quickly destroy thee.Perocché ella sedurrebbe il tuo figliuolo, e lo alienerebbe da me per farlo anzi servire a' dii stranieri: e si accenderebbe il furor del Signore, e ben presto ti sterminerebbe.for he wil seduce thy sonne, that he folow not me, and that he rather serue strange goddes, and the furie of our Lord wil be wrath, and shal quickly destroy thee.quia seducet filium tuum, ne sequatur me, et ut magis serviat diis alienis: irasceturque furor Domini, et delebit te cito.

5But thus rather shall you deal with them: Destroy their altars, and break their statues, and cut down their groves, and burn their graven things.Ma piuttosto fate loro così: Gettate a terra i loro altari, e spezzate le statue, e tagliate i boschetti, e date alle fiamme i simulacri,But these thinges rather you shal doe to them: Ouerthrow their altares, and breake their statuees, and cutte downe their groues, and burne their sculptiles.Quin potius hæc facietis eis: aras eorum subvertite, et confringite statuas, lucosque succidite, et sculptilia comburite: 6Because thou art a holy people to the Lord thy God. The Lord thy God hath chosen thee, to be his peculiar people of all peoples that are upon the earth.Perché tu se' un popolo consacrato al Signore Dio tuo. Ti elesse il Signore Dio tuo per essere popolo di sua proprietà tra tutti i popoli, che son sulla terra.Because thou art a holie people to the Lord thy God. The Lord thy God hath chosen thee, to be his peculiar people of al peoples, that are vpon the earth.quia populus sanctus es Domino Deo tuo. Te elegit Dominus Deus tuus, ut sis ei populus peculiaris de cunctis populis, qui sunt super terram. 7Not because you surpass all nations in number, is the Lord joined unto you, and hath chosen you, for you are the fewest of any people:Non perché voi superaste in numero ogni altra gente, si è unito a voi il Signore, e vi ha eletti, mentre siete inferiori di numero a tutti i popoli:Not because you passed al nations in number, is our Lord ioyned vnto you, and hath chosen you, wheras you are fewer then al peoples:Non quia cunctas gentes numero vincebatis, vobis junctus est Dominus, et elegit vos, cum omnibus sitis populis pauciores: 8But because the Lord hath loved you, and hath kept his oath, which he swore to your fathers: and hath brought you out with a strong hand, and redeemed you from the house of bondage, out of the hand of Pharao the king of Egypt.Ma perché egli vi ha amati, e ha mantenuto il giuramento fatto a' padri vostri, per questo vi trasse con man possente, e vi riscattò dalla casa di schiavitù, dalle mani di Faraone re dell'Egitto.but because our Lord hath loued you, and hath kept the oath, which he sware to your fathers: and hath brought you forth in a strong hand, and redemed you from the house of seruitude, out of the hand of Pharao the king of Aegypt.sed quia dilexit vos Dominus, et custodivit juramentum, quod juravit patribus vestris: eduxitque vos in manu forti, et redemit de domo servitutis, de manu Pharaonis regis Ægypti.

9And thou shalt know that the Lord thy God, he is a strong and faithful God, keeping his covenant and mercy to them that love him, and to them that keep his commandments, unto a thousand generations:E tu conoscerai, come il Signore Dio tuo egli è un Dio forte, e fedele, che mantiene il patto, e la misericordia con quei che lo amano, e osservano i suoi precetti, per mille generazioni:And thou shalt know that the Lord thy God, he is a strong and faith ful God, keping his couenant and mercie to them that loue him, and to them that keepe his preceptes, vnto a thousand generations:Et scies, quia Dominus Deus tuus, ipse est Deus fortis et fidelis, custodiens pactum et misericordiam diligentibus se, et his qui custodiunt præcepta ejus in mille generationes: 10And repaying forthwith them that hate him, so as to destroy them, without further delay immediately rendering to them what they deserve.E rende tosto la loro mercede a coloro, che l'odiano, onde gli sperde, e non differisce più oltre, pagando loro immediatamente quel che han meritato.and rendring forthwith to them that hate him, so that he destroyeth them, and differreth no longer, immediatly rendering to them that they deserue.et reddens odientibus se statim, ita ut disperdat eos, et ultra non differat, protinus eis restituens quod merentur. 11Keep therefore the precepts and ceremonies and judgments, which I command thee this day to do.Osserva adunque i precetti, e le cerimonie, e le leggi, che io oggi ti ordino di osservare.Keepe therfore the preceptes and ceremonies and iudgementes, which I command thee this day to doe them.Custodi ergo præcepta et cæremonias atque judicia, quæ ego mando tibi hodie ut facias. 12If after thou hast heard these judgments, thou keep and do them, the Lord thy God will also keep his covenant to thee, and the mercy which he swore to thy fathers:Se dopo di avere udite queste leggi, le manterrai, e le metterai in esecuzione, manterrà a te parimente il Signore Dio tuo il patto, e la misericordia promessa con giuramento a' padri tuoi.If after thou hast heard these iudgementes, thou keepe and doe them, the Lord also thy God wil keepe the couenant vnto thee, and the mercie which he sware to thy fathers:Si postquam audieris hæc judicia, custodieris ea, et feceris, custodiet et Dominus Deus tuus pactum tibi, et misericordiam quam juravit patribus tuis: 13And he will love thee and multiply thee, and will bless the fruit of thy womb, and the fruit of thy land, thy corn, and thy vintage, thy oil, and thy herds, and the flocks of thy sheep upon the land, for which he swore to thy fathers that he would give it thee.Ed egli ti amerà, e ti moltiplicherà, e benedirà il frutto del tuo seno, e i frutti della tua terra, il tuo frumento, e la tua vendemmia, e l'olio, e gli armenti, e i greggi delle tue pecore nella terra, la quale egli giurò ai padri tuoi di dare a te.and he wil loue and multiplie thee, and wil blesse the fruite of thy wombe, and the fruite of thy land, thy corne, and vintage, oile, and heardes, the flockes of thy sheepe vpon the Land, for the which he sware to thy fathers that he would geue it thee.et diliget te, ac multiplicabit, benedicetque fructui ventris tui, et fructui terræ tuæ, frumento tuo, atque vindemiæ, oleo, et armentis, gregibus ovium tuarum super terram, pro qua juravit patribus tuis ut daret eam tibi.

14Blessed shalt thou be among all people. No one shall be barren among you of either sex, neither of men nor cattle.Sarai benedetto tra tutti i popoli. Non vi avrà chi sia sterile in casa tua dell'un sesso, o dell'altro né tra gli uomini, né tra gli animali.Blessed shalt thou be among al peoples. There shal be none barren with thee of neither sexe, as wel in men as in thy flockes.Benedictus eris inter omnes populos. Non erit apud te sterilis utriusque sexus, tam in hominibus quam in gregibus tuis. 15The Lord will take away from thee all sickness: and the grievous infirmities of Egypt, which thou knowest, he will not bring upon thee, but upon thy enemies.Manderà lungi da te il Signore tutti i malori; e non sopra di te, ma sopra de' tuoi nemici farà cadere que' flagelli pessimi dell'Egitto, che sono a te noti.Our Lord wil take away from thee al disease: and the sore infirmities of Aegypt, which thou knowest, he wil not bring vpon thee, but vpon al thyne enemies.Auferet Dominus a te omnem languorem: et infirmitates Ægypti pessimas, quas novisti, non inferet tibi, sed cunctis hostibus tuis. 16Thou shalt consume all the people, which the Lord thy God will deliver to thee. Thy eye shall not spare them, neither shalt thou serve their gods, lest they be thy ruin.Tu divorerai tutti i popoli, i quali dal Signore Dio tuo saran dati in tuo potere. Non s'impietosisca sopra di essi il tuo occhio, e guardati di servire agli dii loro, che non sieno a te di rovina.Thou shalt deuoure al the peoples, which the Lord thy God wil gene thee. Thyn eye shal not spare them, neither shalt thou serue their goddes, lest they be the ruine of thee.Devorabis omnes populos, quos Dominus Deus tuus daturus est tibi. Non parcet eis oculus tuus, nec servies diis eorum, ne sint in ruinam tui. 17If thou say in thy heart: These nations are more than I, how shall I be able to destroy them?Se tu dirai in cuor tuo: Queste genti sono in maggior numero, che non son io, come potrò io sterminarle?If thou say in thy hart: These nations are moe then I, how shal I be able to destroy them?Si dixeris in corde tuo: Plures sunt gentes istæ quam ego: quomodo potero delere eas ? 18Fear not, but remember what the Lord thy God did to Pharao and to all the Egyptians,Non temere, ma ricordati di quello che fece a Faraone, e a tutti gli Egiziani il Signore Dio tuo,Feare not, but remember what the Lord thy God did to Pharao and to al the Aegyptians,noli metuere, sed recordare quæ fecerit Dominus Deus tuus Pharaoni, et cunctis Ægyptiis, 19The exceeding great plagues, which thy eyes saw, and the signs and wonders, and the strong hand, and the stretched out arm, with which the Lord thy God brought thee out: so will he do to all the people, whom thou fearest.(Ricordati) delle piaghe grandissime, che tu vedesti cogli occhi tuoi, e dei segni, e de' prodigii, e della mano forte, e del braccio, che stese per liberarti il Signore Dio tuo: il simile farà egli a tutti i popoli, dei quali tu hai timore.the exceding great plagues, which thyne eies saw, and the signes and wonders, and the strong hand, and the stretched out arme, that the Lord thy God might bring thee forth: so wil he doe to al peoples, whom thou fearest.plagas maximas, quas viderunt oculi tui, et signa atque portenta, manumque robustam, et extentum brachium, ut educeret te Dominus Deus tuus: sic faciet cunctis populis, quos metuis.

20Moreover the Lord thy God will send also hornets among them, until he destroy and consume all that have escaped thee, and could hide themselves.Oltre a ciò il Signore Dio tuo spedirà contro di essi i calabroni, sino a tanto che abbia spersi e distrutti quelli che avran potuto nascondersi a te colla fuga.Moreouer hornettes also wil the Lord thy God send vpon them, vntil he destroy and consume al that escaped thee, and can hide them selues.Insuper et crabrones mittet Dominus Deus tuus in eos, donec deleat omnes atque disperdat qui te fugerint, et latere potuerint. 21Thou shalt not fear them, because the Lord thy God is in the midst of thee, a God mighty and terrible:Tu non li temerai, perché il Signore Dio tuo è in mezzo a te, il Dio grande e terribile.Thou shalt not feare them, because the Lord thy God is in the middes of thee, a mightie God and terrible:Non timebis eos, quia Dominus Deus tuus in medio tui est, Deus magnus et terribilis: 22He will consume these nations in thy sight by little and little and by degrees. Thou wilt not be able to destroy them altogether: lest perhaps the beasts of the earth should increase upon thee.Egli consumerà dinanzi a te queste nazioni a poco a poco, e parte a parte. Tu non potrai sterminarle ad un tratto, affinché non moltiplichino in tuo danno le fiere selvagge.he wil consume these nations in thy sight by litle and litle and by partes. Thou mayest not destroy them al together: lest perhappes the beastes of the earth multiplie against thee.ipse consumet nationes has in conspectu tuo paulatim atque per partes. Non poteris eas delere pariter: ne forte multiplicentur contra te bestiæ terræ. 23But the Lord thy God shall deliver them in thy sight: and shall slay them until they be utterly destroyed.E il Signore Dio tuo le darà in tuo potere, e le andrà uccidendo, fino a che sieno affatto distrutte.And the Lord thy God wil geue them in thy sight: and wil kil them vntil they be vtterly destroyed.Dabitque eos Dominus Deus tuus in conspectu tuo: et interficiet illos, donec penitus deleantur. 24And he shall deliver their kings into thy hands, and thou shalt destroy their names from under Heaven: no man shall be able to resist thee, until thou destroy them.E ti darà nelle mani i suoi regi, e farà si, che dei loro nomi non resti memoria sotto del cielo. Nissuno potrà resistere a te, fino a che tu gli abbia ridotti in polvere.And he wil deliuer their kinges into thy handes, and thou shalt destroy their names vnder heauen: no man shal be able to resist thee, vntil thou destroy them.Tradetque reges eorum in manus tuas, et disperdes nomina eorum sub cælo: nullus poterit resistere tibi, donec conteras eos.

25Their graven things thou shalt burn with fire: thou shalt not covet the silver and gold of which they are made, neither shalt thou take to thee any thing thereof, lest thou offend, because it is an abomination to the Lord thy God.Getterai alle fiamme le loro statue: non desidererai l'argento e l'oro, onde son fatte, e nulla di queste cose ti approprierai per non dare inciampo: perocché sono abominazione del Signore Dio tuo:Their sculptiles thou shalt burne with fyre: thou shalt not couet the siluer and gold, wherof they were made, neither shalt thou take to thee any thing therof, lest thou offend, because it is the abomination of the Lord thy God.Sculptilia eorum igne combures: non concupisces argentum et aurum, de quibus facta sunt, neque assumes ex eis tibi quidquam, ne offendas, propterea quia abominatio est Domini tui: 26Neither shalt thou bring any thing of the idol into thy house, lest thou become an anathema, like it. Thou shalt detest it as dung, and shalt utterly abhor it as uncleanness and filth, because it is an anathema.E nissuna cosa dell'idolo entrerà in tua casa, affinché tu non diventi anatema, come egli pure lo è. Lo detesterai come immondezza, e qual sudiciume e sporcizia, perché egli è un anatema.Neither shalt thou bring in ought of the Idol into thy house, lest thou become anathema, as also that is. As filthines thou shalt detest it, and as vncleannes and filth thou shalt account it abominable, because it is anathema.nec inferes quippiam ex idolo in domum tuam, ne fias anathema, sicut et illud est. Quasi spurcitiam detestaberis, et velut inquinamentum ac sordes abominationi habebis, quia anathema est.
