1Hear, O ye heavens, the things I speak, let the earth give ear to the words of my mouth.
1Give ear, ye heavens, and I will speak; And hear, O earth, the words of my mouth!
2Let my doctrine gather as the rain, let my speech distil as the dew, as a shower upon the herb, and as drops upon the grass.
2My doctrine shall drop as rain, My speech flow down as dew, As small rain upon the tender herb, And as showers on the grass.
3Because I will invoke the name of the Lord: give ye magnificence to our God.
3For the name of Jehovah will I proclaim: Ascribe greatness unto ourGod!
4The works of God are perfect, and all his ways are judgments: God is faithful and without any iniquity, he is just and right.
4[He is] the Rock, his work is perfect, For all his ways are righteousness; AGod of faithfulness without deceit, Just and right is he.
5They have sinned against him, and are none of his children in their filth: they are a wicked and perverse generation.
5They have dealt corruptly with him; Not his children's is their spot: — A crooked and perverted generation!
6Is this the return thou makest to the Lord, O foolish and senseless people? Is not he thy father, that hath possessed thee, and made thee, and created thee?
6Do ye thus requite Jehovah, Foolish and unwise people? Is not he thy father that hath bought thee? Hath he not made thee and established thee?
7Remember the days of old, think upon every generation: ask thy father, and he will declare to thee: thy elders and they will tell thee.
7Remember the days of old, Consider the years of generation to generation; Ask thy father, and he will shew thee; Thine elders, and they will tell thee.
8When the Most High divided the nations: when he separated the sons of Adam, he appointed the bounds of people according to the number of the children of Israel.
8When the Most High assigned to the nations their inheritance, When he separated the sons of Adam, He set the bounds of the peoples According to the number of the children of Israel.
9But the Lord's portion is his people: Jacob the lot of his inheritance.
9For Jehovah's portion is his people; Jacob the lot of his inheritance.
10He found him in a desert land, in a place of horror, and of vast wilderness: he led him about, and taught him: and he kept him as the apple of his eye.
10He found him in a desert land, And in the waste, howling wilderness; He compassed him about, he watched over him, He preserved him as the apple of his eye.
11As the eagle enticing her young to fly, and hovering over them, he spread his wings, and hath taken him and carried him on his shoulders.
11As the eagle stirreth up its nest, Hovereth over its young, Spreadeth out its wings, Taketh them, beareth them on its feathers,
12The Lord alone was his leader: and there was no strange god with him.
12So Jehovah alone did lead him, And no strangegod [was] with him.
13He set him upon high land: that he might eat the fruits of the fields, that he might suck honey out of the rock, and oil out of the hardest stone,
13He made him ride on the high places of the earth, And he ate the produce of the field; And he made him suck honey out of the crag, And oil out of the flinty rock;
14Butter of the herd, and milk of the sheep with the fat of lambs, and of the rams of the breed of Basan: and goats with the marrow of wheat, and might drink the purest blood of the grape.
14Cream of kine, and milk of sheep, With the fat of lambs, And rams of the breed of Bashan, and he-goats, With the fat of kidneys of wheat; And thou didst drink pure wine, the blood of the grape.
15The beloved grew fat, and kicked: he grew fat, and thick and gross, he forsook God who made him, and departed from God his saviour.
15Then Jeshurun grew fat, and kicked — Thou art waxen fat, Thou art grown thick, And thou art covered with fatness; — He gave upGod who made him, And lightly esteemed the Rock of his salvation.
16They provoked him by strange gods, and stirred him up to anger, with their abominations.
16They moved him to jealousy with strangegods, With abominations did they provoke him to anger.
17They sacrificed to devils and not to God: to gods whom they knew not: that were newly come up, whom their fathers worshipped not.
17They sacrificed unto demons who are notGod; Togods whom they knew not, To new ones, who came newly up, Whom your fathers revered not.
18Thou hast forsaken the God that begot thee, and hast forgotten the Lord that created thee.
18Of the Rock that begot thee wast thou unmindful, And thou hast forgottenGod who brought thee forth.
19The Lord saw, and was moved to wrath: because his own sons and daughters provoked him.
19And Jehovah saw it, and despised them, Because of the provoking of his sons and of his daughters.
20And he said: I will hide my face from them, and will consider what their last end shall be: for it is a perverse generation, and unfaithful children.
20And he said, I will hide my face from them, I will see what their end shall be; For they are a perverse generation, Children in whom is no faithfulness.
21They have provoked me with that which was no god, and have angered me with their vanities: and I will provoke them with that which is no people, and will vex them with a foolish nation.
21They have moved me to jealousy with that which is noGod; They have exasperated me with their vanities; And I will move them to jealousy with that which is not a people; With a foolish nation will I provoke them to anger.
22A fire is kindled in my wrath, and shall burn even to the lowest hell: and shall devour the earth with her increase, and shall burn the foundations of the mountains.

23I will heap evils upon them, and will spend my arrows among them.
23I will heap mischiefs upon them; Mine arrows will I spend against them.
24They shall be consumed with famine, and birds shall devour them with a most bitter bite: I will send the teeth of beasts upon them, with the fury of creatures that trail upon the ground, and of serpents.
24They shall be consumed with hunger, and devoured with burning heat, And with poisonous pestilence; And the teeth of beasts will I send against them, With the poison of what crawleth in the dust.
25Without, the sword shall lay them waste, and terror within, both the young man and the virgin, the sucking child with the man in years.
25From without shall the sword bereave them, and in the chambers, terror — Both the young man and the virgin, The suckling with the man of gray hairs.
26I said: Where are they? I will make the memory of them to cease from among men.
26I would say, I will scatter, I will make the remembrance of them to cease from among men,
27But for the wrath of the enemies I have deferred it: lest perhaps their enemies might be proud, and should say: Our mighty hand, and not the Lord, hath done all these things.
27If I did not fear provocation from the enemy, Lest their adversaries should misunderstand it, Lest they should say, Our hand is high, and Jehovah has not done all this.
28They are a nation without counsel, and without wisdom.
28For they are a nation void of counsel, And understanding is not in them.
29O that they would be wise and would understand, and would provide for their last end.
29Oh that they had been wise! they would have understood this, They would have considered their latter end!
30How should one pursue after a thousand, and two chase ten thousand? Was it not, because their God had sold them, and the Lord had shut them up?
30How could one chase a thousand, And two put ten thousand to flight, Were it not that their Rock had sold them, And Jehovah had delivered them up?
31For our God is not as their gods: our enemies themselves are judges.
31For their rock is not as our Rock: Let our enemies themselves be judges.
32Their vines are of the vineyard of Sodom, and of the suburbs of Gomorrha: their grapes are grapes of gall, and their clusters most bitter.
32For their vine is of the vine of Sodom, And of the fields of Gomorrah: Their grapes are grapes of poison, Bitter are their clusters;
33Their wine is the gall of dragons, and the venom of asps, which is incurable.
33Their wine is the poison of dragons, And the cruel venom of vipers.
34Are not these things stored up with me, and sealed up in my treasures?
34Is not this hidden with me, Sealed up among my treasures?
35Revenge is mine, and I will repay them in due time, that their foot may slide: the day of destruction is at hand, and the time makes haste to come.
35Vengeance is mine, and recompense, For the time when their foot shall slip. For the day of their calamity is at hand, And the things that shall come upon them make haste.
36The Lord will judge his people, and will have mercy on his servants: he shall see that their hand is weakened, and that they who were shut up have also failed, and they that remained are consumed.
36For Jehovah will judge his people, And shall repent in favour of his servants; When he seeth that power is gone, And there is none shut up or left.
37And he shall say: Where are their gods, in whom they trusted?
37And he shall say, Where are theirgods, Their rock in whom they trusted,
38Of whose victims they ate the fat, and drank the wine of their drink offerings: let them arise and help you, and protect you in your distress.
38Who ate the fat of their sacrifices, [And] drank the wine of their drink-offering? Let them rise up and help you, That there may be a protection over you.
39See ye that I alone am, and there is no other God besides me: I will kill and I will make to live: I will strike, and I will heal, and there is none that can deliver out of my hand.
39See now that I, I am HE, And there is nogod with me; I kill, and I make alive; I wound, and I heal, And there is none that delivereth out of my hand,
40I will lift up my hand to heaven, and I will say: I live for ever.
40For I lift up my hand to the heavens, and say, I live for ever!
41If I shall whet my sword as the lightning, and my hand take hold on judgment: I will render vengeance to my enemies, and repay them that hate me.
41If I have sharpened my gleaming sword, And my hand take hold of judgment, I will render vengeance to mine adversaries, And will recompense them that hate me.
42I will make my arrows drunk with blood, and my sword shall devour flesh, of the blood of the slain and of the captivity, of the bare head of the enemies.
42Mine arrows will I make drunk with blood, And my sword shall devour flesh; [I will make them drunk] with the blood of the slain and of the captives, With the head of the princes of the enemy.
43Praise his people, ye nations, for he will revenge the blood of his servants: and will render vengeance to their enemies, and he will be merciful to the land of his people.
43Shout for joy, ye nations, with his people, For he avengeth the blood of his servants, And rendereth vengeance to his enemies, And maketh atonement for his land, for his people.
44So Moses came and spoke all the words of this canticle in the ears of the people, and Josue the son of Nun.
44And Moses came and spoke all the words of this song in the ears of the people, he and Hoshea the son of Nun.
45And he ended all these words, speaking to all Israel.
45And when Moses had ended speaking all these words to all Israel,
46And he said to them: Set your hearts on all the words, which I testify to you this day: which you shall command your children to observe and to do, and to fulfil all that is written in this law:
46he said unto them, Set your hearts unto all the words that I testify among you this day, which ye shall command your children to take heed to do, all the words of this law.
47For they are not commanded you in vain, but that every one should live in them, and that doing them you may continue a long time in the land whither you are going over the Jordan to possess it.
47For it is no vain word for you, but it is your life, and through this word ye shall prolong your days on the land whereunto ye pass over the Jordan to possess it.
48And the Lord spoke to Moses the same day, saying:
48And Jehovah spoke to Moses that same day, saying,
49Go up into this mountain Abarim, (that is to say, of passages,) unto mount Nebo, which is in the land of Moab over against Jericho: and see the land of Chanaan, which I will deliver to the children of Israel to possess, and die thou in the mountain.
49Go up into this mountain Abarim, mount Nebo, which is in the land of Moab, which is opposite Jericho; and behold the land of Canaan, which I give unto the children of Israel for a possession,
50When thou art gone up into it thou shalt be gathered to thy people, as Aaron thy brother died in mount Hor, and was gathered to his people:
50and die on the mountain whither thou goest up, and be gathered unto thy peoples, as Aaron thy brother died on mount Hor, and was gathered unto his peoples;
51Because you trespassed against me in the midst of the children of Israel, at the waters of contradiction, in Cades of the desert of Sin: and you did not sanctify me among the children of Israel.
51because ye trespassed against me among the children of Israel at the waters of Meribah-Kadesh, in the wilderness of Zin; because ye hallowed me not in the midst of the children of Israel.
