विधि-विवरण 6

1These are the precepts, and ceremonies, and judgments, which the Lord your God commanded that I should teach you, and that you should do them in the land into which you pass over to possess it:

2That thou mayst fear the Lord thy God, and keep all his commandments and precepts, which I command thee, and thy sons, and thy grandsons, all the days of thy life, that thy days may be prolonged.

3Hear, O Israel, and observe to do the things which the Lord hath commanded thee, that it may be well with thee, and thou mayst be greatly multiplied, as the Lord the God of thy fathers hath promised thee a land flowing with milk and honey.

4Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God is one Lord.

5Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with thy whole heart, and with thy whole soul, and with thy whole strength.

6And these words which I command thee this day, shall be in thy heart:

7And thou shalt tell them to thy children, and thou shalt meditate upon them sitting in thy house, and walking on thy journey, sleeping and rising.

8And thou shalt bind them as a sign on thy hand, and they shall be and shall move between thy eyes.

9And thou shalt write them in the entry, and on the doors of thy house.

10And when the Lord thy God shall have brought thee into the land, for which he swore to thy fathers Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob: and shall have given thee great and goodly cities, which thou didst not build,

11Houses full of riches, which thou didst not set up, cisterns which thou didst not dig, vineyards and oliveyards, which thou didst not plant,

12And thou shalt have eaten and be full:

13Take heed diligently lest thou forget the Lord, who brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. Thou shalt fear the Lord thy God, and shalt serve him only, and thou shalt swear by his name.

14You shall not go after the strange gods of all the nations, that are round about you:

15Because the Lord thy God is a jealous God in the midst of thee: lest at any time the wrath of the Lord thy God be kindled against thee, and take thee away from the face of the earth.

16Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God, as thou temptedst him in the place of temptation.

17Keep the precepts of the Lord thy God, and the testimonies and ceremonies which he hath commanded thee.

18And do that which is pleasing and good in the sight of the Lord, that it may be well with thee: and going in thou mayst possess the goodly land, concerning which the Lord swore to thy fathers,

19That he would destroy all thy enemies before thee, as he hath spoken.

20And when thy son shall ask thee tomorrow, saying: What mean these testimonies, and ceremonies and judgments, which the Lord our God hath commanded us?

21Thou shalt say to him: We were bondmen of Pharao in Egypt, and the Lord brought us out of Egypt with a strong hand.

22And he wrought signs and wonders great and very grievous in Egypt against Pharao, and all his house, in our sight,

23And he brought us out from thence, that he might bring us in and give us the land, concerning which he swore to our fathers.

24And the Lord commanded that we should do all these ordinances, and should fear the Lord our God, that it might be well with us all the days of our life, as it is at this day.

25And he will be merciful to us, if we keep and do all his precepts before the Lord our God, as he hath commanded us.

1Hæc sunt præcepta, et cæremoniæ, atque judicia, quæ mandavit Dominus Deus vester ut docerem vos, et faciatis ea in terra, ad quam transgredimini possidendam:

2ut timeas Dominum Deum tuum, et custodias omnia mandata et præcepta ejus, quæ ego præcipio tibi, et filiis, ac nepotibus tuis, cunctis diebus vitæ tuæ, ut prolongentur dies tui.

3Audi, Israël, et observa ut facias quæ præcepit tibi Dominus, et bene sit tibi, et multipliceris amplius, sicut pollicitus est Dominus Deus patrum tuorum tibi terram lacte et melle manantem.

4Audi, Israël: Dominus Deus noster, Dominus unus est.

5Diliges Dominum Deum tuum ex toto corde tuo, et ex tota anima tua, et ex tota fortitudine tua.

6Eruntque verba hæc, quæ ego præcipio tibi hodie, in corde tuo:

7et narrabis ea filiis tuis, et meditaberis in eis sedens in domo tua, et ambulans in itinere, dormiens atque consurgens.

8Et ligabis ea quasi signum in manu tua, eruntque et movebuntur inter oculos tuos,

9scribesque ea in limine, et ostiis domus tuæ.

10Cumque introduxerit te Dominus Deus tuus in terram, pro qua juravit patribus tuis Abraham, Isaac, et Jacob, et dederit tibi civitates magnas et optimas, quas non ædificasti,

11domos plenas cunctarum opum, quas non exstruxisti, cisternas, quas non fodisti, vineta et oliveta, quæ non plantasti,

12et comederis, et saturatus fueris:

13cave diligenter ne obliviscaris Domini, qui eduxit te de terra Ægypti, de domo servitutis. Dominum Deum tuum timebis, et illi soli servies, ac per nomen illius jurabis.

14Non ibitis post deos alienos cunctarum gentium, quæ in circuitu vestro sunt:

15quoniam Deus æmulator Dominus Deus tuus in medio tui: nequando irascatur furor Domini Dei tui contra te, et auferat te de superficie terræ.

16Non tentabis Dominum Deum tuum, sicut tentasti in loco tentationis.

17Custodi præcepta Domini Dei tui, ac testimonia et cæremonias, quas præcepit tibi:

18et fac quod placitum est et bonum in conspectu Domini, ut bene sit tibi: et ingressus possideas terram optimam, de qua juravit Dominus patribus tuis,

19ut deleret omnes inimicos tuos coram te, sicut locutus est.

20Cumque interrogaverit te filius tuus cras, dicens: Quid sibi volunt testimonia hæc, et cæremoniæ, atque judicia, quæ præcepit Dominus Deus noster nobis?

21dices ei: Servi eramus Pharaonis in Ægypto, et eduxit nos Dominus de Ægypto in manu forti:

22fecitque signa atque prodigia magna et pessima in Ægypto contra Pharaonem, et omnem domum illius in conspectu nostro,

23et eduxit nos inde, ut introductis daret terram, super qua juravit patribus nostris.

24Præcepitque nobis Dominus ut faciamus omnia legitima hæc, et timeamus Dominum Deum nostrum, ut bene sit nobis cunctis diebus vitæ nostræ, sicut est hodie.

25Eritque nostri misericors, si custodierimus et fecerimus omnia præcepta ejus coram Domino Deo nostro, sicut mandavit nobis.

1“These are the precepts and ceremonies, as well as the judgments, which the Lord your God has commanded that I teach to you, which you shall do in the land to which you will travel in order to possess it.

2So may you fear the Lord your God, and keep all his commandments and precepts, which I am entrusting to you, and to your sons and grandsons, all the days of your life, so that your days may be prolonged.

3Listen and observe, O Israel, so that you may do just as the Lord has instructed you, and it may be well with you, and you may be multiplied all the more, for the Lord, the God of your fathers, has promised you a land flowing with milk and honey.

4Listen, O Israel: the Lord our God is one Lord.

5You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your strength.

6And these words, which I instruct to you this day, shall be in your heart.

7And you shall explain them to your sons. And you shall meditate upon them sitting in your house, and walking on a journey, when lying down and when rising up.

8And you shall bind them like a sign on your hand, and they shall be placed and shall move between your eyes.

9And you shall write them at the threshold and on the doors of your house.

10And when the Lord your God will have led you into the land, about which he swore to your fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and when he will have given to you great and excellent cities, which you did not build;

11houses full of goods, which you did not amass; cisterns, which you did not dig; vineyards and olive groves, which you did not plant;

12and when you will have eaten and been satisfied:

13take care diligently, lest you forget the Lord, who led you away from the land of Egypt, from the house of servitude. You shall fear the Lord your God, and you shall serve him alone, and you shall swear by his name.

14You shall not go after the strange gods of all the Gentiles, who are around you.

15For the Lord your God is a jealous God in your midst. Otherwise, at some time, the fury of the Lord your God may be enraged against you, and he may take you away from the face of the earth.

16You shall not tempt the Lord your God, as you tempted him in the place of temptation.

17Keep the precepts of the Lord your God, as well as the testimonies and ceremonies, which he has instructed to you.

18And do what is pleasing and good in the sight of the Lord, so that it may be well with you, and so that, when you enter, you may possess the excellent land, about which the Lord swore to your fathers

19that he would wipe away all your enemies before you, just as he has spoken.

20And when your son will ask you tomorrow, saying: ‘What do these testimonies and ceremonies and judgments mean, which the Lord our God has entrusted to us?’

21You shall say to him: ‘We were servants of Pharaoh in Egypt, and the Lord led us away from Egypt with a strong hand.

22And he wrought signs and wonders, great and very grievous, in Egypt, against Pharaoh and all his house, in our sight.

23And he led us away from that place, so that he might lead us in and give us the land, about which he swore to our fathers.

24And the Lord instructed us that we should do all these ordinances, and that we should fear the Lord our God, so that it may be well with us all the days of our life, just as it is today.

25And he will be merciful to us, if we keep and perform all his precepts, in the sight of the Lord our God, just as he has commanded us.’ ”
