Deuteronomy - douay rheims

Chapter 29

¹ These are the words of the covenant which the Lord commanded Moses to make with the children of Israel in the land of Moab: beside that covenant which he made with them in Horeb.
² And Moses called all Israel, and said to them: You have seen all the things that the Lord did before you in the land of Egypt to Pharao, and to all his servants, and to his whole land.
³ The great temptations, which thy eyes have seen, those mighty signs and wonders,
⁴ And the Lord hath not given you al heart to understand, and eyes to see, and ears that may hear, unto this present day.
⁵ He hath brought you forty years through the desert: your garments are not worn out, neither are the shoes of your feet consumed with age.
⁶ You have not eaten bread, nor have you drunk wine or strong drink: that you might know that I am the Lord your God.
⁷ And you came to this place: and Sehon king of Hesebon, and Og king of Basan, came out against us to fight. And we slew them.
⁸ And took their land, and delivered it for a possession to h Ruben and Gad, and the half tribe of Manasses.
⁹ Keep therefore the words of this covenant, and fulfil them: that you may understand all that you do.
¹⁰ You all stand this day before the Lord your God, your princes, and tribes, and ancients, and doctors, all the people of Israel,
¹¹ 11Your children and your wives, and the stranger that abideth with thee in the camp, besides the hewers of wood, and them that bring water:
¹² That thou mayst pass in the covenant of the Lord thy God, and in the oath which this day the Lord thy God maketh with thee.
¹³ That he may raise thee up a people to himself, and he may be thy God as he hath spoken to thee, and as he swore to thy fathers Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
¹⁴ Neither with you only do I make this covenant, and confirm these oaths,
¹⁵ But with all that are present and that are absent.
¹⁶ For you know how we dwelt in the land of Egypt, and how we have passed through the midst of nations, and passing through them,
¹⁷ You have seen their abominations and filth, that is to say, their idols, wood and stone, silver and gold, which they worshipped.
¹⁸ Lest perhaps there should be among you a man or a woman, a family or a tribe, whose heart is turned away this day from the Lord our God, to go and serve the gods of those nations: and there should be among you a root bringing forth gall and bitterness.
¹⁹ And when he shall hear the words of this oath, he should bless himself in his heart saying: I shall have peace, and will walk on in the naughtiness of my heart: and the drunken may consume the thirsty,
²⁰ And the Lord should not forgive him: but his wrath and jealousy against that man should be exceedingly enkindled at that time, and all the curses that are written in this volume should light upon him: and the Lord should blot out his name from under heaven,
²¹ And utterly destroy him out of all the tribes of Israel, according to the curses that are contained in the book of this law and covenant:
²² And the following generation shall say, and the children that shall be born hereafter, and the strangers that shall come from afar, seeing the plagues of that land and the evils wherewith the Lord hath afflicted it,
²³ Burning it with brimstone, and the heat of salt, so that it cannot be sown any more, nor any green thing grow therein, after the example of the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrha, Adama and Seboim, which the Lord destroyed in his wrath and indignation:
²⁴ And all the nations shall say: Why hath the Lord done thus to this land? what meaneth this exceeding great heat of his wrath?
²⁵ And they shall answer: Because they forsook the covenant of the Lord, which he made with their fathers, when he brought them out of the land of Egypt:
²⁶ And they have served strange gods, and adored them, whom they knew not, and for whom they had not been assigned:
²⁷ Therefore the wrath of the Lord was kindled against this land, to bring upon it all the curses that are written in this volume :
²⁸ And he hath cast them out of their land, in anger and in wrath, and in very great indignation, and hath thrown them into a strange land, as it is seen this day.
²⁹ Secret things to the Lord our God: things that are manifest, to us and to our children for ever, that we may do all the words of this law.

Chapter 29

¹ These are the words of the covenant which the LORD commanded Moses to make with the children of Israel in the land of Moab, besides the covenant which he made with them in Horeb.
² And Moses called to all Israel, and said to them, Ye have seen all that the LORD did before your eyes in the land of Egypt to Pharaoh, and to all his servants, and to all his land;
³ The great temptations which thy eyes have seen, the signs, and those great miracles:
⁴ Yet the LORD hath not given you a heart to perceive, and eyes to see, and ears to hear, to this day.
⁵ And I have led you forty years in the wilderness: your clothes have not become old upon you, and thy shoe hath not become old upon thy foot.
⁶ Ye have not eaten bread, neither have ye drank wine or strong drink: that ye might know that I am the LORD your God.
⁷ And when ye came to this place, Sihon the king of Heshbon, and Og the king of Bashan, came out against us to battle, and we smote them:
⁸ And we took their land, and gave it for an inheritance to the Reubenites, and to the Gadites, and to the half-tribe of Manasseh.
⁹ Keep therefore the words of this covenant, and do them, that ye may prosper in all that ye do.
¹⁰ Ye stand this day all of you before the LORD your God; your captains of your tribes, your elders, and your officers, with all the men of Israel,
¹¹ Your little ones, your wives, and thy stranger that is in thy camp, from the hewer of thy wood to the drawer of thy water:
¹² That thou shouldst enter into covenant with the LORD thy God, and into his oath, which the LORD thy God maketh with thee this day:
¹³ That he may establish thee to-day for a people to himself, and that he may be to thee a God, as he hath said to thee, and as he hath sworn to thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob.
¹⁴ Neither with you only do I make this covenant and this oath;
¹⁵ But with him that standeth here with us this day before the LORD our God, and also with him that is not here with us this day:
¹⁶ (For ye know how we have dwelt in the land of Egypt; and how we came through the nations which ye passed by;
¹⁷ And ye have seen their abominations, and their idols, wood and stone, silver and gold, which were among them:)
¹⁸ Lest there should be among you man, or woman, or family, or tribe, whose heart turneth away this day from the LORD our God, to go and serve the gods of these nations; lest there should be among you a root that beareth gall and wormwood;
¹⁹ And it should come to pass, when he heareth the words of this curse, that he should bless himself in his heart, saying, I shall have peace, though I walk in the imagination of my heart, to add drunkenness to thirst:
²⁰ The LORD will not spare him, but then the anger of the LORD and his jealousy shall smoke against that man, and all the curses that are written in this book shall lie upon him, and the LORD shall blot out his name from under heaven.
²¹ And the LORD shall separate him to evil out of all the tribes of Israel according to all the curses of the covenant that are written in this book of the law:
²² So that the generation to come of your children that shall arise after you, and the stranger that shall come from a distant land, shall say, when they see the plagues of that land, and the sicknesses which the LORD hath laid upon it;
²³ And that the whole land of it is brimstone, and salt, and burning, that it is not sown, nor doth it bear, nor doth any grass grow in it, like the overthrow of Sodom, and Gomorrah, Admah, and Zeboim, which the LORD overthrew in his anger and in his wrath:
²⁴ Even all the nations shall say, Why hath the LORD done thus to this land? what meaneth the heat of this great anger?
²⁵ Then men shall say, Because they have forsaken the covenant of the LORD God of their fathers, which he made with them when he brought them forth from the land of Egypt:
²⁶ For they went and served other gods, and worshiped them, gods which they knew not, and which he had not given to them:
²⁷ And the anger of the LORD was kindled against this land, to bring upon it all the curses that are written in this book:
²⁸ And the LORD rooted them out of their land in anger and in wrath, and in great indignation, and cast them into another land, as it is this day.
²⁹ The secret things belong to the LORD our God: but those things which are revealed belong to us, and to our children for ever, that we may do all the words of this law.

¹ are the words of the covenant which Yahweh commanded Moses to make with the children of Israel in the land of Moab, besides the covenant which he made with them in Horeb.
² called to all Israel, and said to them, You have seen all that Yahweh did before your eyes in the land of Egypt to Pharaoh, and to all his servants, and to all his land;
³ great trials which your eyes saw, the signs, and those great wonders:
⁴ Yahweh has not given you a heart to know, and eyes to see, and ears to hear, to this day.
⁵ have led you forty years in the wilderness: your clothes have not grown old on you, and your shoes have not grown old on your feet.
⁶ have not eaten bread, neither have you drunk wine or strong drink; that you may know that I am Yahweh your God.
⁷ you came to this place, Sihon the king of Heshbon, and Og the king of Bashan, came out against us to battle, and we struck them:
⁸ we took their land, and gave it for an inheritance to the Reubenites, and to the Gadites, and to the half-tribe of the Manassites.
⁹ therefore the words of this covenant, and do them, that you may prosper in all that you do.
¹⁰ stand this day all of you before Yahweh your God; your heads, your tribes, your elders, and your officers, even all the men of Israel,
¹¹ little ones, your wives, and your foreigner who is in the midst of your camps, from the one who cuts your wood to the one who draws your water;
¹² you may enter into the covenant of Yahweh your God, and into his oath, which Yahweh your God makes with you this day;
¹³ he may establish you this day to himself for a people, and that he may be to you a God, as he spoke to you, and as he swore to your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob.
¹⁴ with you only do I make this covenant and this oath,
¹⁵ with him who stands here with us this day before Yahweh our God, and also with him who is not here with us this day
¹⁶ you know how we lived in the land of Egypt, and how we came through the midst of the nations through which you passed;
¹⁷ you have seen their abominations, and their idols, wood and stone, silver and gold, which were among them);
¹⁸ there should be among you man, or woman, or family, or tribe, whose heart turns away this day from Yahweh our God, to go to serve the gods of those nations; lest there should be among you a root that bears gall and wormwood;
¹⁹ it happen, when he hears the words of this curse, that he bless himself in his heart, saying, "I shall have peace, though I walk in the stubbornness of my heart, to destroy the moist with the dry."
²⁰ will not pardon him, but then the anger of Yahweh and his jealousy will smoke against that man, and all the curse that is written in this book shall lie on him, and Yahweh will blot out his name from under the sky.
²¹ will set him apart to evil out of all the tribes of Israel, according to all the curses of the covenant that is written in this book of the law.
²² generation to come, your children who shall rise up after you, and the foreigner who shall come from a far land, shall say, when they see the plagues of that land, and the sicknesses with which Yahweh has made it sick;
²³ that] the whole land of it is sulfur, and salt, [and] a burning, [that] it is not sown, nor bears, nor any grass grows therein, like the overthrow of Sodom and Gomorrah, Admah and Zeboiim, which Yahweh overthrew in his anger, and in his wrath:
²⁴ all the nations shall say, "Why has Yahweh done thus to this land? What does the heat of this great anger mean?"
²⁵ men shall say, "Because they forsook the covenant of Yahweh, the God of their fathers, which he made with them when he brought them forth out of the land of Egypt,
²⁶ went and served other gods, and worshiped them, gods that they didn't know, and that he had not given to them:
²⁷ the anger of Yahweh was kindled against this land, to bring on it all the curse that is written in this book;
²⁸ Yahweh rooted them out of their land in anger, and in wrath, and in great indignation, and cast them into another land, as at this day."
²⁹ secret things belong to Yahweh our God; but the things that are revealed belong to us and to our children forever, that we may do all the words of this law.

Chapter 29

¹ These are the words of the covenant that Jehovah commanded Moses to make with the children of Israel in the land of Moab, besides the covenant that he made with them in Horeb.
² And Moses called to all Israel, and said unto them, Ye have seen all that Jehovah did before your eyes in the land of Egypt to Pharaoh, and to all his bondmen, and to all his land:
³ the great trials that thine eyes have seen, those great signs and wonders.
⁴ But Jehovah hath not given you a heart to perceive, and eyes to see, and ears to hear, to this day.
⁵ And I have led you forty years in the wilderness; your clothes are not grown old upon you, and thy sandal is not grown old upon thy foot;
⁶ ye have not eaten bread, neither have ye drunk wine or strong drink, that ye might know that I am Jehovah your God.
⁷ And ye came to this place; and Sihon the king of Heshbon and Og the king of Bashan came out against us for battle, and we smote them.
⁸ And we took their land, and gave it for an inheritance to the Reubenites, and to the Gadites, and to the half tribe of the Manassites.
⁹ Ye shall keep then the words of this covenant, and do them, that ye may prosper in all that ye do.
¹⁰ Ye stand this day all of you before Jehovah your God: your chiefs [of] your tribes, your elders, and your officers, all the men of Israel,
¹¹ your little ones, your wives, and thy stranger that is in thy camp, as well the hewer of thy wood as the drawer of thy water;
¹² that thou mayest enter into the covenant of Jehovah thy God, and into his oath, which Jehovah thy God maketh with thee this day;
¹³ that he may establish thee this day for a people unto himself, and [that] he may be to thee a God, as he hath said unto thee, and as he hath sworn unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob.
¹⁴ Neither with you only do I make this covenant and this oath,
¹⁵ but with him that standeth here with us this day before Jehovah our God, and with him that is not here with us this day
¹⁶ (for ye know how we dwelt in the land of Egypt, and how we came through the nations which ye passed;
¹⁷ and ye have seen their abominations, and their idols, wood and stone, silver and gold, which were among them);
¹⁸ lest there should be among you man, or woman, or family, or tribe, whose heart turneth away this day from Jehovah our God, to go and serve the gods of these nations; lest there should be among you a root that beareth gall and wormwood,
¹⁹ and it come to pass, when he heareth the words of this curse, that he bless himself in his heart, saying, I shall have peace, though I walk in the stubbornness of my heart, to sweep away the drunken with the thirsty.
²⁰ Jehovah will not pardon him, but the anger of Jehovah and his jealousy will then smoke against that man, and all the curse shall be upon him that is written in this book; and Jehovah will blot out his name from under the heavens;
²¹ and Jehovah will separate him for mischief out of all the tribes of Israel, according to all the curses of the covenant that is written in this book of the law.
²² And the generation to come, your children who shall rise up after you, and the foreigner that shall come from a far land, shall say, when they see the plagues of that land, and its sicknesses wherewith Jehovah hath visited it,
²³ [that] the whole ground thereof is brimstone and salt, [and] burning, that it is not sown, nor beareth, and no grass groweth in it, like the overthrow of Sodom and Gomorrah, Admah and Zeboim, which Jehovah overthrew in his anger and in his fury:
²⁴ even all nations shall say, Why has Jehovah done thus to this land? whence the heat of this great anger?
²⁵ And men shall say, Because they have forsaken the covenant of Jehovah the God of their fathers, which he had made with them when he brought them forth out of the land of Egypt;
²⁶ and they went and served other gods, and bowed down to them, gods whom they knew not, and whom he had not assigned to them.
²⁷ And the anger of Jehovah was kindled against this land, to bring upon it all the curse that is written in this book;
²⁸ and Jehovah rooted them out of their land in anger, and in fury, and in great indignation, and cast them into another land, as [it appears] this day.
²⁹ The hidden things belong to Jehovah our God; but the revealed ones are ours and our children's for ever, to do all the words of this law.

¹⁵ but with him that standeth here with us this day before Jehovah our God, and also with him that is not here with us this day
¹⁶ (for ye know how we dwelt in the land of Egypt, and how we came through the midst of the nations through which ye passed;
¹⁷ and ye have seen their abominations, and their idols, wood and stone, silver and gold, which were among them);
¹⁸ lest there should be among you man, or woman, or family, or tribe, whose heart turneth away this day from Jehovah our God, to go to serve the gods of those nations; lest there should be among you a root that beareth gall and wormwood;

²¹ And Jehovah will set him apart unto evil out of all the tribes of Israel, according to all the curses of the covenant that is written in this book of the law.

Chapter 29

¹ These are the words of the agreement which Moses was ordered by the Lord to make with the children of Israel in the land of Moab, in addition to the agreement which he made with them in Horeb.
² And Moses said in the hearing of all Israel, You have seen all the Lord did before your eyes in the land of Egypt to Pharaoh and to all his servants and all his land;
³ The great tests which your eyes saw, and the signs and wonders:
⁴ But even to this day the Lord has not given you a mind open to knowledge, or seeing eyes or hearing ears.
⁵ For forty years I have been your guide through the waste land: your clothing has not become old on your backs, or your shoes on your feet.
⁶ You have had no bread, or wine, or strong drink: so that you might see that I am the Lord your God.
⁷ When you came to this place, Sihon, king of Heshbon, and Og, king of Bashan, came out to make war against us and we overcame them:
⁸ And we took their land and gave it to the Reubenites and the Gadites and the half-tribe of Manasseh, for their heritage.
⁹ So keep the words of this agreement and do them, so that it may be well for you in everything you do.
¹⁰ You have come here today, all of you, before the Lord your God; the heads of your tribes, the overseers, and those who are in authority over you, with all the men of Israel,
¹¹ And your little ones, your wives, and the men of other lands who are with you in your tents, down to the wood-cutter and the servant who gets water for you:
¹² With the purpose of taking part in the agreement of the Lord your God, and his oath which he makes with you today:
¹³ And so that he may make you his people today, and be your God, as he has said to you, and as he made an oath to your fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
¹⁴ And not with you only do I make this agreement and this oath;
¹⁵ But with everyone who is here with us today before the Lord our God, as well as with those who are not here:
¹⁶ (For you have in mind how we were living in the land of Egypt; and how we came through all the nations which were on your way;
¹⁷ And you have seen their disgusting doings, and the images of wood and stone and silver and gold which were among them:)
¹⁸ So that there may not be among you any man or woman or family or tribe whose heart is turned away from the Lord our God today, to go after other gods and give them worship; or any root among you whose fruit is poison and bitter sorrow;
¹⁹ If such a man, hearing the words of this oath, takes comfort in the thought that he will have peace even if he goes on in the pride of his heart, taking whatever chance may give him:
²⁰ The Lord will have no mercy on him, but the wrath of the Lord will be burning against that man, and all the curses recorded in this book will be waiting for him, and the Lord will take away his name completely from the earth.
²¹ He will be marked out by the Lord, from all the tribes of Israel, for an evil fate, in keeping with all the curses of the agreement recorded in this book of the law.
²² And future generations, your children coming after you, and travellers from far countries, will say, when they see the punishments of that land and the diseases which the Lord has sent on it;
²³ And that all the land is a salt and smoking waste, not planted or giving fruit or clothed with grass, but wasted like Sodom and Gomorrah, Admah and Zeboiim, on which the Lord sent destruction in the heat of his wrath:
²⁴ Truly all the nations will say, Why has the Lord done so to this land? what is the reason for this great and burning wrath?
²⁵ Then men will say, Because they gave up the agreement of the Lord, the God of their fathers, which he made with them when he took them out of the land of Egypt:
²⁶ And they went after other gods and gave them worship, gods who were strange to them, and whom he had not given them:
²⁷ And so the wrath of the Lord was moved against this land, to send on it all the curse recorded in this book:
²⁸ Rooting them out of their land, in the heat of his wrath and passion, and driving them out into another land, as at this day.
²⁹ The secret things are the Lord our God's: but the things which have been made clear are ours and our children's for ever, so that we may do all the words of this law.
