1These <FI>are<Fi> the words of the covenant which Jehovah hath commanded Moses to make with the sons of Israel in the land of Moab, apart from the covenant which He made with them in Horeb.
1These 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.
2And Moses calleth unto all Israel, and saith unto them, `Ye--ye have seen all that which Jehovah hath done before your eyes in the land of Egypt, to Pharaoh, and to all his servants, and to all his land;
2And 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.
3the great trials which thine eyes have seen, the signs, and those great wonders;
3The great temptations, which thy eyes have seen, those mighty signs and wonders,
4and Jehovah hath not given to you a heart to know, and eyes to see, and ears to hear, till this day,
4And the Lord hath not given you a heart to understand, and eyes to see, and ears that may hear, unto this present day.
5and I cause you to go forty years in a wilderness; your garments have not been consumed from off you, and thy shoe hath not worn away from off thy foot;
5He hath brought you forty years through the desert: your garments are not worn out, neither are the shoes of your feet consumed with age.
6bread ye have not eaten, and wine and strong drink ye have not drunk, so that ye know that I <FI>am<Fi> Jehovah your God.
6You 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 ye come in unto this place, and Sihon king of Heshbon--also Og king of Bashan--doth come out to meet us, to battle, and we smite them,
7And 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.
8and take their land, and give it for an inheritance to the Reubenite, and to the Gadite, and to the half of the tribe of Manasseh;
8And took their land, and delivered it for a possession to Ruben and Gad, and the half tribe of Manasses.
9and ye have kept the words of this covenant, and done them, so that ye cause all that ye do to prosper.
9Keep therefore the words of this covenant, and fulfil them: that you may understand all that you do.
10`Ye are standing to-day, all of you, before Jehovah your God--your heads, your tribes, your elders, and your authorities--every man of Israel;
10You all stand this day before the Lord your God, your princes, and tribes, and ancients, and doctors, all the people of Israel,
11your infants, your wives, and thy sojourner who <FI>is<Fi> in the midst of thy camps, from the hewer of thy wood unto the drawer of thy water--
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:
12for thy passing over into the covenant of Jehovah thy God, and into His oath which Jehovah thy God is making with thee to-day;
12That 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.
13in order to establish thee to-day to Him for a people, and He Himself is thy God, as He hath spoken to thee, and as He hath sworn to thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob.
13That 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`And not with you alone am I making this covenant and this oath;
14Neither with you only do I make this covenant, and confirm these oaths,
15but with him who is here with us, standing to-day before Jehovah our God, and with him who is not here with us to-day,
15But with all that are present and that are absent.
16for ye have known how ye dwelt in the land of Egypt, and how we passed by through the midst of the nations which ye have passed by;
16For you know how we dwelt in the land of Egypt, and how we have passed through the midst of nations, and passing through them,
17and ye see their abominations, and their idols, wood and stone, silver and gold, which <FI>are<Fi> with them,
17You have seen their abominations and filth, that is to say, their idols, wood and stone, silver and gold, which they worshipped.
18lest there be among you a man or woman, or family or tribe, whose heart is turning to-day from Jehovah our God, to go to serve the gods of those nations, lest there be in you a root fruitful of gall and wormwood:
18Lest 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 it hath been, in his hearing the words of this oath, and he hath blessed himself in his heart, saying, I have peace, though in the stubbornness of my heart I go on, in order to end the fulness with the thirst.
19And 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,
20Jehovah is not willing to be propitious to him, for then doth the anger of Jehovah smoke, also His zeal, against that man, and lain down on him hath all the oath which is written in this book, and Jehovah hath blotted out his name from under the heavens,
20And 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,
21and Jehovah hath separated him for evil, out of all the tribes of Israel, according to all the oaths of the covenant which is written in this book of the law.
21And 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 latter generation of your sons who rise after you, and the stranger who cometh in from a land afar off, have said when they have seen the strokes of that land, and its sicknesses which Jehovah hath sent into it, --
22And 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(<FI> with<Fi> brimstone and salt is the whole land burnt, it is not sown, nor doth it shoot up, nor doth there go up on it any herb, like the overthrow of Sodom and Gomorrah, Admah and Zeboim, which Jehovah overturned in His anger, and in His fury,) --
23Burning 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:
24yea, all the nations have said, Wherefore hath Jehovah done thus to this land? what the heat of this great anger?
24And 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 have said, Because that they have forsaken the covenant of Jehovah, God of their fathers, which He made with them in His bringing them out of the land of Egypt,
25And 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:
26and they go and serve other gods, and bow themselves to them--gods which they have not known, and which He hath not apportioned to them;
26And they have served strange gods, and adored them, whom they knew not, and for whom they had not been assigned:
27and the anger of Jehovah burneth against that land, to bring in on it all the reviling that is written in this book,
27Therefore the wrath of the Lord was kindled against this land, to bring upon it all the curses that are written in this volume:
28and Jehovah doth pluck them from off their ground in anger, and in fury, and in great wrath, and doth cast them unto another land, as <FI>at<Fi> this day.
28And 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.
