1 And it shall come to pass, when all these things are come upon thee, the blessing and the curse, which I have set before thee, and thou shalt call them to mind among all the nations, whither the LORD thy God hath driven thee, 2 And shalt return unto the LORD thy God, and shalt obey his voice according to all that I command thee this day, thou and thy children, with all thine heart, and with all thy soul; 3 That then the LORD thy God will turn thy captivity, and have compassion upon thee, and will return and gather thee from all the nations, whither the LORD thy God hath scattered thee. 4 If any of thine be driven out unto the outmost parts of heaven, from thence will the LORD thy God gather thee, and from thence will he fetch thee: 5 And the LORD thy God will bring thee into the land which thy fathers possessed, and thou shalt possess it; and he will do thee good, and multiply thee above thy fathers. 6 And the LORD thy God will circumcise thine heart, and the heart of thy seed, to love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, that thou mayest live. 7 And the LORD thy God will put all these curses upon thine enemies, and on them that hate thee, which persecuted thee. 8 And thou shalt return and obey the voice of the LORD, and do all his commandments which I command thee this day. 9 And the LORD thy God will make thee plenteous in every work of thine hand, in the fruit of thy body, and in the fruit of thy cattle, and in the fruit of thy land, for good: for the LORD will again rejoice over thee for good, as he rejoiced over thy fathers: 10 If thou shalt hearken unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to keep his commandments and his statutes which are written in this book of the law, and if thou turn unto the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul.
11 ¶ For this commandment which I command thee this day, it is not hidden from thee, neither is it far off. 12 It is not in heaven, that thou shouldest say, Who shall go up for us to heaven, and bring it unto us, that we may hear it, and do it? 13 Neither is it beyond the sea, that thou shouldest say, Who shall go over the sea for us, and bring it unto us, that we may hear it, and do it? 14 But the word is very nigh unto thee, in thy mouth, and in thy heart, that thou mayest do it.
15 ¶ See, I have set before thee this day life and good, and death and evil; 16 In that I command thee this day to love the LORD thy God, to walk in his ways, and to keep his commandments and his statutes and his judgments, that thou mayest live and multiply: and the LORD thy God shall bless thee in the land whither thou goest to possess it. 17 But if thine heart turn away, so that thou wilt not hear, but shalt be drawn away, and worship other gods, and serve them; 18 I denounce unto you this day, that ye shall surely perish, and that ye shall not prolong your days upon the land, whither thou passest over Jordan to go to possess it. 19 I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live: 20 That thou mayest love the LORD thy God, and that thou mayest obey his voice, and that thou mayest cleave unto him: for he is thy life, and the length of thy days: that thou mayest dwell in the land which the LORD sware unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give them.
1 cum ergo venerint super te omnes sermones isti
benedictio sive maledictio quam proposui in
conspectu tuo
et ductus paenitudine cordis tui
in universis gentibus in quas disperserit te Dominus Deus tuus
2 reversus fueris ad eum et oboedieris eius imperiis
sicut ego hodie praecipio tibi cum filiis tuis
in toto corde tuo et in tota anima tua
3 reducet Dominus Deus tuus captivitatem
tuam
ac miserebitur tui
et rursum congregabit te de cunctis populis
in quos te ante dispersit
4 si ad cardines caeli fueris dissipatus
inde te retrahet Dominus Deus tuus
5 et adsumet atque introducet in terram quam possederunt patres tui
et obtinebis eam
et benedicens tibi maioris numeri esse te faciet
quam fuerunt patres tui
6 circumcidet Dominus Deus tuus cor tuum et cor seminis tui
ut diligas Dominum Deum tuum in toto corde tuo et in tota anima tua
et possis vivere
7 omnes autem maledictiones has convertet super inimicos tuos
et eos qui oderunt te et persequuntur
8 tu autem reverteris et audies vocem Domini Dei tui
faciesque universa mandata quae ego praecipio tibi hodie
9 et abundare te faciet Dominus Deus tuus
in cunctis operibus manuum tuarum
in subole uteri tui et in fructu iumentorum tuorum
in ubertate terrae tuae et in rerum omnium largitate
revertetur enim Dominus ut gaudeat super te in omnibus bonis
sicut gavisus est in patribus tuis
10 si tamen audieris vocem Domini Dei tui
et custodieris praecepta eius et caerimonias quae in hac lege
conscriptae sunt
et revertaris ad Dominum Deum tuum
in toto corde tuo et in tota anima tua
11 mandatum hoc quod ego praecipio tibi hodie
non supra te est neque procul positum
12 nec in caelo situm ut possis dicere
quis nostrum ad caelum valet
conscendere
ut deferat illud ad nos et audiamus atque opere conpleamus
13 neque trans mare positum ut causeris et dicas
quis e nobis transfretare poterit mare
et illud ad nos usque deferre
ut possimus audire et facere quod praeceptum est
14 sed iuxta te est sermo valde in ore tuo et in corde tuo ut facias illum
15 considera quod hodie proposuerim in conspectu tuo
vitam et bonum et e contrario mortem et malum
16 ut diligas Dominum Deum tuum et ambules in viis eius
et custodias mandata illius et caerimonias atque iudicia
et vivas ac multiplicet te
benedicatque tibi in terra ad quam ingredieris possidendam
17 sin autem aversum fuerit cor tuum et audire
nolueris
atque errore deceptus adoraveris deos alienos et servieris eis
18 praedico tibi hodie quod pereas
et parvo tempore moreris in terra
ad quam Iordane transmisso ingredieris possidendam
19 testes invoco hodie caelum et terram
quod proposuerim vobis vitam et mortem bonum et malum
benedictionem et maledictionem
elige ergo vitam ut et tu vivas et semen tuum
20 et diligas Dominum Deum tuum
atque oboedias voci eius et illi adhereas
ipse est enim vita tua et longitudo dierum tuorum
ut habites in terra
pro qua iuravit Dominus patribus tuis Abraham Isaac et Iacob ut daret
eam illis
