Deuteronomy 9: Douay-Rheims, Vulgata Clementina and Septuagint (Sixtine edition, 1587)
Douay-RheimsVulgata ClementinaSeptuagint (Sixtine edition, 1587)
1Hear, O Israel: Thou shalt go over the Jordan this day; to possess nations very great, and stronger than thyself, cities great, and walled up to the sky,Audi, Israël: tu transgredieris hodie Iordanem, ut possideas nationes maximas et fortiores te, civitates ingentes, et ad caelum usque muratas,Ἄκουε Ἰσραήλ· σὺ διαβαίνεις σήμερον τὸν Ἰορδάνην εἰσελθεῖν κληρονομῆσαι ἔθνη μεγάλα καὶ ἰσχυρότερα μᾶλλον ἢ ὑμεῖς, πόλεις μεγάλας καὶ τειχήρεις ἕως τοῦ οὐρανοῦ,
2A People great and tall, the sons of the Enacims, whom thou hast seen, and heard of, against whom no man is able to stand.populum magnum atque sublimem, filios Enacim, quos ipse vidisti et audisti, quibus nullus potest ex adverso resistere.λαὸν μέγαν καὶ πολὺν καὶ εὐμήκη, υἱοὺς Ἐνάκ, οὓς σὺ οἶσθα, καὶ σὺ ἀκήκοας, τίς ἀντιστήσεται κατὰ πρόσωπον υἱῶν Ἐνάκ;
3Thou shalt know therefore this day that the Lord thy God himself will pass over before thee, a devouring and consuming fire, to destroy and extirpate and bring them to nothing before thy face quickly, as he hath spoken to thee.Scies ergo hodie quod Dominus Deus tuus ipse transibit ante te, ignis devorans atque consumens, qui conterat eos, et deleat atque disperdat ante faciem tuam velociter, sicut locutus est tibi:Καὶ γνώσῃ σήμερον, ὅτι Κύριος ὁ Θεός σου οὗτος προπορεύσεται πρὸ προσώπου σου· πῦρ καταναλίσκον ἐστίν· οὗτος ἐξολοθρεύσει αὐτούς, καὶ οὗτος ἀποστρέψει αὐτοὺς ἀπὸ προσώπου σου, καὶ ἀπολεῖ αὐτοὺς ἐν τάχει, καθάπερ εἶπέ σοι Κύριος.
4Say not in thy heart, when the Lord thy God shall have destroyed them in thy sight: For my justice hath the Lord brought me in to possess this land, whereas these nations are destroyed for their wickedness.ne dicas in corde tuo, cum deleverit eos Dominus Deus tuus in conspectu tuo: Propter iustitiam meam introduxit me Dominus ut terram hanc possiderem, cum propter impietates suas istae deletae sint nationes.Μὴ εἴπῃς ἐν τῇ καρδίᾳ σου ἐν τῷ ἐξαναλῶσαι Κύριον τὸν Θεόν σου τὰ ἔθνη ταῦτα πρὸ προσώπου σου, λέγων, διὰ τὴν δικαιοσύνην μου εἰσήγαγέ με Κύριος κληρονομῆσαι τὴν γὴν τὴν ἀγαθὴν ταύτην.
5For it is not for thy justices, and the uprightness of thy heart that thou shalt go in to possess their lands: but because they have done wickedly, they are destroyed at thy coming in: and that the Lord might accomplish his word, which he promised by oath to thy fathers Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.Neque enim propter iustitias tuas, et aequitatem cordis tui ingredieris, ut possideas terras earum: sed quia illae egerunt impie, introëunte te deletae sunt: et ut compleret verbum suum Dominus, quod sub iuramento pollicitus est patribus tuis, Abraham, Isaac, et Iacob.Οὐχὶ διὰ τὴν δικαιοσύνην σου, οὐδὲ διὰ τὴν ὁσιότητα τῆς καρδίας σου σὺ εἰσπορεύῃ κληρονομῆσαι τὴν γῆν αὐτῶν, ἀλλὰ διὰ τὴν ἀσέβειαν τῶν ἐθνῶν τούτων Κύριος ἐξολοθρεύσει αὐτοὺς ἀπὸ προσώπου σου, καὶ ἵνα στήσῃ τὴν διαθήκην, ἥ ὤμοσε Κύριος τοῖς πατράσιν ἡμῶν τῷ Ἁβραὰμ καὶ τῷ Ἰσαὰκ καὶ τῷ Ἰακώβ.
6Know therefore that the Lord thy God giveth thee not this excellent land in possession for thy justices, for thou art a very stiffnecked people.Scito ergo quod non propter iustitias tuas Dominus Deus tuus dederit tibi terram hanc optimam in possessionem, cum durissimae cervicis sis populus.Καὶ γνώσῃ σήμερον, ὅτι οὐχὶ διὰ τὰς δικαιοσύνας σου Κύριος ὁ Θεός σου δίδωσί σοι τὴν γῆν τὴν ἀγαθὴν ταύτην κληρονομῆσαι, ὅτι λαὸς σκληροτράχηλος εἶ.
7Remember, and forget not how then provokedst the Lord thy God to wrath in the wilderness. From the day that thou camest out of Egypt unto this place, thou hast always strove against the Lord.Memento, et ne obliviscaris, quomodo ad iracundiam provocaveris Dominum Deum tuum in solitudine. Ex eo die, quo egressus es ex Aegypto usque ad locum istum, semper adversum Dominum contendisti.Μνήσθητι, μὴ ἐπιλάθῃ ὅσα παρώξυνας Κύριον τὸν Θεόν σου ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ· ἀφʼ ἧς ἡμέρας ἐξήλθετε ἐξ Αἰγύπτου, καὶ ἤλθετε εἰς τὸν τόπον τοῦτον, ἀπειθοῦντες διετελεῖτε τὰ πρὸς Κύριον.
8For in Horeb also thou didst provoke him, and he was angry, and would have destroyed thee,Nam et in Horeb provocasti eum, et iratus delere te voluit,Καὶ ἐν Χωρὴβ παρωξύνατε Κύριον, καὶ ἐθυμώθη Κύριος ἐφʼ ὑμῖν ἐξολεθρεῦσαι ὑμᾶς,
9When I went up into the mount to receive the tables of stone, the tables of the covenant which the Lord made with you: and I continued in the mount forty days and nights, neither eating bread, nor drinking water.quando ascendi in montem, ut acciperem tabulas lapideas, tabulas pacti quod pepigit vobiscum Dominus: et perseveravi in monte quadraginta diebus ac noctibus, panem non comedens, et aquam non bibens.ἀναβαίνοντός μου εἰς τὸ ὄρος λαβεῖν τὰς πλάκας τὰς λιθίνας, πλάκας διαθήκης ἃς διέθετο Κύριος πρὸς ὑμᾶς, καὶ κατεγενόμην ἐν τῷ ὄρει τεσσαράκοντα ἡμέρας καὶ τεσσεράκοντα νύκτας, ἄρτον οὐκ ἔφαγον καὶ ὕδωρ οὐκ ἔπιον.
10And the Lord gave me two tables of stone written with the finger of God, and containing all the words that he spoke to you in the mount from the midst of the Are, when the people were assembled together.Deditque mihi Dominus duas tabulas lapideas scriptas digito Dei, et continentes omnia verba quae vobis locutus est in monte de medio ignis, quando concio populi congregata est.Καὶ ἔδωκέ μοι Κύριος τὰς δύο πλάκας τὰς λιθίνας γεγραμμένας ἐν τῷ δακτύλῳ τοῦ Θεοῦ, καὶ ἐπʼ αὐταῖς ἐγέγραπτο πάντες οἱ λόγοι οὓς ἐλάλησε Κύριος πρὸς ὑμᾶς ἐν τῷ ὄρει ἡμέρᾳ ἐκκλησίας·
11And when forty days were passed, and as many nights, the Lord gave me the two tables of stone, the tables of the covenant,Cumque transissent quadraginta dies, et totidem noctes, dedit mihi Dominus duas tabulas lapideas, tabulas foederis,Καὶ ἐγένετο διὰ τεσσεράκοντα ἡμερῶν καὶ διὰ τεσσαράκοντα νυκτῶν ἔδωκε Κύριος ἐμοὶ τὰς δύο πλάκας τὰς λιθίνας, πλάκας διαθήκης.
12And said to me: Arise, and go down from hence quickly: for thy people, which thou hast brought out of Egypt, have quickly forsaken the way that thou hast shewn them, and have made to themselves a molten idol.dixitque mihi: Surge, et descende hinc cito: quia populus tuus, quem eduxisti de Aegypto, deseruerunt velociter viam, quam demonstrasti eis, feceruntque sibi conflatile.Καὶ εἶπε Κύριος πρὸς μέ, ἀνάστηθι, κατάβηθι τοτάχος ἐντεῦθεν, ὅτι ἠνόμησεν ὁ λαός σου, οὓς ἐξήγαγες ἐκ γῆς Αἰγύπτου· παρέβησαν ταχὺ ἐκ τῆς ὁδοῦ ἧς ἐνετείλω αὐτοῖς, καὶ ἐποίησαν ἑαυτοῖς χώνευμα.
13And again the Lord said to me: I see that this people is stiffnecked:Rursumque ait Dominus ad me: Cerno quod populus iste durae cervicis sit:Καὶ εἶπε Κύριος πρὸς μὲ, λέγων, λελάληκα πρὸς σὲ ἅπαξ καὶ δὶς, λέγων, ἑώρακα τὸν λαὸν τοὗτον, καὶ ἰδοὺ λαὸς σκληροτράχηλός ἐστι·
14Let me alone that I may destroy them, and abolish their name from under heaven, and set thee over a nation, that is greater and stronger than this.dimitte me ut conteram eum, et deleam nomen eius de sub caelo, et constituam te super gentem, quae hac maior et fortior sit.Καὶ νῦν ἔασόν με ἐξολοθρεῦσαι αὐτούς, καὶ ἐξαλείψω τὸ ὄνομα αὐτῶν ὑποκάτωθεν τοῦ οὐρανοῦ, καὶ ποιήσω σε εἰς ἔθνος μέγα, καὶ ἰσχυρὸν, καὶ πολὺ μᾶλλον ἢ τοῦτο.
15And when I came down from the burning mount, and held the two tables of the covenant with both hands,Cumque de monte ardente descenderem, et duas tabulas foederis utraque tenerem manu,Καὶ ἐπιστρέψας, κατέβην ἐκ τοῦ ὄρους· καὶ τὸ ὄρος ἐκαίετο πυρὶ ἕως τοῦ οὐρανοῦ· καὶ αἱ δύο πλάκες τῶν μαρτυρίων ἐπὶ ταῖς δυσὶ χερσί μου.
16And saw that you had sinned against the Lord your God, and had made to yourselves a molten calf, and had quickly forsaken his way, which he had shewn you:vidissemque vos peccasse Domino Deo vestro, et fecisse vobis vitulum conflatilem, ac deseruisse velociter viam eius, quam vobis ostenderat:Καὶ ἰδὼν ὅτι ἡμάρτετε ἐναντίον Κυρίου τοῦ Θεοῦ ὑμῶν, καὶ ἐποιήσατε ὑμῖν αὐτοῖς χωνευτόν, καὶ παρέβητε ἀπὸ τῆς ὁδοῦ, ἧς ἐνετείλατο Κύριος ὑμῖν ποιεῖν·
17I cast the tables out of my hands, and broke them in your sight.proieci tabulas de manibus meis, confregique eas in conspectu vestro.καὶ ἐπιλαβόμενος τῶν δύο πλακῶν, ἔῤῥιψα αὐτὰς ἀπὸ τῶν δύο χειρῶν μου, καὶ συνέτριψα ἐναντίον ὑμῶν.
18And I fell down before the Lord as before, forty days and nights neither eating bread, nor drinking water, for all your sins, which you had committed against the Lord, and had provoked him to wrath:Et procidi ante Dominum sicut prius, quadraginta diebus et noctibus panem non comedens, et aquam non bibens, propter omnia peccata vestra quae gessistis contra Dominum, et eum ad iracundiam provocastis:Καὶ ἐδεήθην ἐναντίον Κυρίου δεύτερον καθάπερ καὶ τὸ πρότερον τεσσαράκοντα ἡμέρας καὶ τεσσαράκοντα νύκτας, ἄρτον οὐκ ἔφαγον καὶ ὕδωρ οὐκ ἔπιον, περὶ πασῶν τῶν ἁμαρτιῶν ὑμῶν ὧν ἡμάρτετε ποιῆσαι τὸ πονηρὸν ἐναντίον Κυρίου τοῦ Θεοῦ παροξῦναι αὐτόν.
19For I feared his indignation and anger, wherewith being moved against you, he would have destroyed you. And the Lord heard me this time also.timui enim indignationem et iram illius, qua adversum vos concitatus, delere vos voluit. Et exaudivit me Dominus etiam hac vice.Καὶ ἔκφοβός εἰμι διὰ τὸν θυμόν καὶ τὴν ὀργὴν, ὅτι παρωξύνθη Κύριος ἐφʼ ὑμῖν τοῦ ἐξολοθρεῦσαι ὑμᾶς· καὶ εἰσήκουσε Κύριος ἐμοῦ καὶ ἐν τῷ καιρῷ τούτῳ.
20And he was exceeding angry against Aaron also, and would have destroyed him, and I prayed in like manner for him.Adversum Aaron quoque vehementer iratus, voluit eum conterere, et pro illo similiter deprecatus sum.Καὶ ἐπὶ Ἀαρὼν ἐθυμώθη ἐξολοθρεῦσαι αὐτόν, καὶ ηὐξάμην καὶ περὶ Ἀαρὼν ἐν τῷ καιρῷ ἐκείνῳ.
21And your sin that you had committed, that is, the calf, I took, and burned it with fire, and breaking it into pieces, until it was as small as dust, I threw it into the torrent, which cometh down from the mountain.Peccatum autem vestrum quod feceratis, id est, vitulum, arripiens, igne combussi, et in frusta comminuens, omninoque in pulverem redigens, proieci in torrentem, qui de monte descendit.Καὶ τὴν ἁμαρτίαν ὑμῶν, ἣν ἐποιήσατε, τὸν μόσχον ἔλαβον αὐτὸν, καὶ κατέκαυσα αὐτὸν ἐν πυρί, καὶ συνέκοψα αὐτὸν καταλέσας σφόδρα ἕως ἐγένετο λεπτόν, καὶ ἐγένετο ὡσεὶ κονιορτός· καὶ ἔῤῥιψα τὸν κονιορτὸν εἰς τὸν χειμάῤῥουν τὸν καταβαίνοντα ἐκ τοῦ ὄρους.
22At the burning also, and at the place of temptation, and at the graves of lust you provoked the Lord:In incendio quoque, et in tentatione, et in Sepulchris concupiscentiae provocastis Dominum:Καὶ ἐν τῷ ἐμπυρισμῷ, καὶ ἐν τῷ πειρασμῷ, καὶ ἐν τοῖς μνήμασι τῆς ἐπιθυμίας παροξύναντες ἦτε Κύριον.
23And when he sent you from Cadesbarne, saying: Go up, and possess the land that I have given you, and you slighted the commandment of the Lord your God, and did not believe him, neither would you hearken to his voice:et quando misit vos de Cadesbarne, dicens: Ascendite, et possidete terram, quam dedi vobis, et contempsistis imperium Domini Dei vestri, et non credidistis ei, neque vocem eius audire voluistis:Καὶ ὅτε ἐξαπέστειλεν ὑμᾶς Κύριος ἐκ Κάδης Βαρνὴ, λέγων, ἀνάβητε καὶ κληρονομήσατε τὴν γῆν, ἣν δίδωμι ὑμῖν, καὶ ἠπειθήσατε τῷ ῥήματι Κυρίου τοῦ Θεοῦ ὑμῶν, καὶ οὐκ ἐπιστεύσατε αὐτῷ, καὶ οὐκ εἰσηκούσατε τῆς φωνῆς αὐτοῦ.
24But were always rebellious from the day that I began to know you.sed semper fuistis rebelles a die qua nosse vos coepi.Ἀπειθοῦντες ἦτε τὰ πρὸς Κύριον ἀπὸ τῆς ἡμέρας ἧς ἐγνώσθη ὑμῖν.
25And I lay prostrate before the Lord forty days and nights, in which I humbly besought him, that he would not destroy you as he had threatened:Et iacui coram Domino quadraginta diebus ac noctibus, quibus eum suppliciter deprecabar, ne deleret vos ut fuerat comminatus:Καὶ ἐδεήθην ἔναντι Κυρίου τεσσαράκοντα ἡμέρας καὶ τεσσαράκοντα νύκτας, ὅσας ἐδεήθην· εἶπε γὰρ Κύριος ἐξολοθρεῦσαι ὑμᾶς.
26And praying, I said: O Lord God, destroy not thy people, and thy inheritance, which thou hast redeemed in thy greatness, whom thou hast brought out of Egypt with a strong hand.et orans dixi: Domine Deus, ne disperdas populum tuum, et haereditatem tuam, quam redemisti in magnitudine tua, quos eduxisti de Aegypto in manu forti.Καὶ ηὐξάμην πρὸς τὸν Θεὸν, καὶ εἶπα, Κύριε βασιλεῦ τῶν θεῶν, μὴ ἐξολοθρεύσῃς τὸν λαόν σου καὶ τὴν μερίδα σου, ἣν ἐλυτρώσω, οὓς ἐξήγαγες ἐκ γῆς Αἰγύπτου ἐν τῇ ἰσχύϊ σου τῇ μεγάλῃ, καὶ ἐν τῇ χειρί σου τῇ κραταιᾷ, καὶ ἐν τῷ βραχίονί σου τῷ ὑψηλῷ.
27Remember thy servants Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob: look not on the stubbornness of this people, nor on their wickedness and sin:Recordare servorum tuorum Abraham, Isaac, et Iacob: ne aspicias duritiam populi huius, et impietatem atque peccatum:Μνήσθητι Ἁβραὰμ καὶ Ἰσαὰκ καὶ Ἰακὼβ τῶν θεραπόντων σου, οἷς ὤμοσας κατὰ σεαυτοῦ· μὴ ἐπιβλέψῃς ἐπὶ τὴν σκληρότητα τοῦ λαοῦ τούτου, καὶ τὰ ἀσεβήματα, καὶ ἐπὶ τὰ ἁμαρτήματα αὐτῶν.
28Lest perhaps the inhabitants of the land, out of which thou hast brought us, say: The Lord could not bring them into the land that he promised them, and he hated them: therefore he brought them out, that he might kill them in the wilderness,ne forte dicant habitatores terrae, de qua eduxisti nos: Non poterat Dominus introducere eos in terram, quam pollicitus est eis, et oderat illos: idcirco eduxit, ut interficeret eos in solitudine:Μὴ εἴπωσιν οἱ κατοικοῦντες τὴν γῆν ὅθεν ἐξήγαγες ἡμᾶς ἐκεῖθεν, λέγοντες, παρὰ τὸ μὴ δύνασθαι Κύριον εἰσαγαγεῖν αὐτοὺς εἰς τὴν γῆν ἣν εἶπεν αὐτοῖς, καὶ παρὰ τὸ μισῆσαι αὐτοὺς, ἐξήγαγεν αὐτοὺς ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ ἀποκτεῖναι αὐτούς.
29Who are thy people and thy inheritance, whom thou hast brought out by thy great strength, and in thy stretched out arm.qui sunt populus tuus et haereditas tua, quos eduxisti in fortitudine tua magna, et in brachio tuo extento.Καὶ οὗτοι λαός σου καὶ κλῆρός σου, οὓς ἐξήγαγες ἐκ γῆς Αἰγύπτου ἐν τῇ ἰσχύϊ σου τῇ μεγάλῃ, καὶ ἐν τῇ χειρί σου τῇ κραταιᾷ, καὶ ἐν τῷ βραχίονί σου τῷ ὑψηλῷ.

Jesus laments over Jerusalem, which kills the prophets

The same day, there came some of the Pharisees, saying to him: Depart, and get thee hence, for Herod hath a mind to kill thee. And he said to them: Go and tell that fox, Behold, I cast out devils, and do cures today and…
