32 Слушай, небе, и ще говоря; И да чуе земята думите на устата ми.

Учението ми ще капе като дъжд; Думата ми ще слезе като роса, Като тънък дъжд на зеленище, И като пороен дъжд на трева.

Понеже ще провъзглася името на Господа, Отдайте величие на нашия Бог.

Той е Канара; делата му са съвършени, Защото всичките Му пътища са прави, Бог на верността е, и няма неправда в Него; Справедлив и прав е Той.

Те се развратиха; Порокът им не подобава на Неговите чада; Те са поколение извратено и криво.

Така ли въздавате Господу, Люде глупави и неразумни? Не е ли Той Отец ти, Който те е усвоил? - Той, Който те е създал и утвърдил.

Спомни си предишните дни, Смисли годините на много поколения; Попитай баща си, и той ще ти извести, - Старците си, и те ще ти кажат.

Когато Всевишният давеше наследство на народите, Когато разпръсна Адамовите потомци, Постави границите на племената Според числото на израилтяните.

Защото дял на Господа са Неговите люде, Яков е падащото Му Се с жребие наследство.

10 Намери го в пуста земя, Да! в пуста, дива и виеща; Огради го, настави го, Опази го като зеницата на окото Си.

11 Както орел разбутва гнездото си. Трепери над пилетата си, Разпростира крилата си Та ги подема, и вдига ги на крилата си,

12 Така Господ сам го води, И нямаше с него чужд бог.

13 Издигна го на високите места на света, И той яде произведенията на нивите; И кърми го с мед от камък И с масло от скала кременлива.

14 С краве масло и с овче мляко, С тлъстина от агнета И от овни васански и от козли, С тлъстина от пшеница; И ти пи вино - кръв гроздова.

15 А Иесурун затлъстя и ритна; Затлъстял си, оголил си се, Надебелял си; Тогава забрави Бога, Който го създаде, И презря Канарата на спасението си.

16 С чужди богове Го раздразниха до ревнуване, С мерзости Го раздразниха до гняв.

17 Пожертвуваха на бесове, които не бяха Бог , На богове, които не бяха знаели, На нови богове наскоро въведени От които бащите ви не се бояха;

18 А ти не помисли за Канарата, Която те роди, И забрави Бога Създателя твой.

19 Видя Господ и огорчи се, Защото Го разгневиха синовете Му и дъщерите Му;

20 И рече: Ще скрия лицето Си от тях, Ще видя каква ще бъде сетнината им; Защото те са поколение развратено, Чада, в които няма вярност.

21 Те Ме раздразниха до ревнуване с онава, което не е Бог, С кумирите си Ме разгневиха; За това и Аз ще ги раздразня до ревнуване с ония, които не са люде, С народ несмислен ще ги разгневя.

22 Защото огън се накладе в гнева Ми, И ще пламне дори до най-дълбокия ад; Ще пояде земята с произведенията й, И ще изгори основите на планините.

23 Ще натрупам на тях зло; Всичките Си стрели ще изхвърля върху тях.

24 Ще изтлеят от глад, Ще бъдат изпоядени от възпалителна болест И от лют мор; Зверски зъби ще изпратя върху тях, И отрова от пълзящи по земята.

25 Извън нож а извътре ужас Ще погуби децата им, И младежа и девицата, Бозайниче и белокосия старец.

26 Рекох: Разпръснал бих ги, Изличил бих спомена им изсред човеците,

27 Ако не се боях от гнева на неприятеля. Да не би да високоумствуват противниците им И кажат: Мощната наша ръка Направи всичко това, а не Господ.

28 Защото те са народ неразбран, И няма в тях разум.

29 О да бяха мъдри, да разбират това, Да смисляха сетнината си!

30 Как би могъл един да прогони хиляда, И двама да обърнат в бяг десет хиляди, Ако канарата им не би ги предала, И Господ не би ги предал!

31 Защото тяхната канара не е като нашата Канара; И самите ни неприятели нека съдят за това .

32 Понеже тяхната лоза е от содомската лоза И от гоморските ниви; Гроздето им е грозде отровно, Гроздовете им са горчиви;

33 Виното им е отрова змийска И мъчителна отрова аспидова.

34 Това не е ли скрито у Мене? Не е ли запечатано в съкровищата Ми?

35 На Мене принадлежи възмездието и въздаянието; Ногата им с време ще се подплъзне; Защото близо е денят на погиването им, И приготвеното за тях наближава.

36 Защото Господ ще съди людете Си И ще пожали слугите Си, Когато види, че изчезна силата им, И че не остана никой, затворен или свободен*.

37 И ще рече: Где са боговете им, Канарата, на която уповаваха,

38 Които ядяха тлъстината на жертвите им, Пиеха виното на възлиянията им? Та нека станат и ви помогнат Нека ви бъдат закрила.

39 Вижте сега, че Аз съм Аз, И освен Мене няма Бог; Аз убивам и Аз съживявам, Аз наранявам и Аз изцелявам; И няма кой да избавя от ръката Ми.

40 Защото дигам ръката Си към небето И казвам: Заклевам се във вечния Си живот.

41 Че, ако изостря лъскавия си меч И туря ръката Си на съдба, Ще въздам на враговете Си, И ще сторя възмездие на ненавистниците Си.

42 Ще упоя стрелите си с кръв, И мечът Ми ще яде меса С кръвта на убитите и на пленените, На чело с вражеските първенци.

43 Развеселете се, народи, с людете Му; Защото ще въздаде на противниците Си, И ще направи умилостивение за земята Си, за людете Си.

44 И Моисей дойде, той и Исус Навиевият син, та изговори всичките думи на тая песен на всеослушание пред людете.

45 И като свърши Моисей да говори всички тия думи на целия Израил, рече им:

46 Обърнете сърцата си към всички тия думи, които днес ви заявявам, за които да заръчате и на чадата си да внимават да вършат всичките думи на тоя закон.

47 Защото за вас това не е празно нещо; понеже то е животът ви, и с това ще се продължи животът ви на земята, към която минавате през Иордан, за да я завладеете.

48 В същия ден Господ говори на Моисея, казвайки:

49 Възкачи се на тая аваримска планина, планината Нево, която е в Моавската земя срещу Ерихон, и разгледай Ханаанската земя, който Аз давам на израилтяните за притежание;

50 и умри на планината, на който се възкачваш, и прибери се при людете си, както брат ти Аарон умря на планината Ор и се прибра при людете си;

51 защото не Ми се покорихте между израилтяните при водите на Мерива* Кадис в пустинята Цин, понеже не Ме осветихте всред израилтяните.

52 За това, отсреща ще видиш земята; но в нея няма да влезеш, в земята, който давам на израилтяните.

32 Give ear, O ye heavens, and I will speak; and hear, O earth, the words of my mouth.

My doctrine shall drop as the rain, my speech shall distil as the dew, as the small rain upon the tender herb, and as the showers upon the grass:

Because I will publish the name of the Lord: ascribe ye greatness unto our God.

He is the Rock, his work is perfect: for all his ways are judgment: a God of truth and without iniquity, just and right is he.

They have corrupted themselves, their spot is not the spot of his children: they are a perverse and crooked generation.

Do ye thus requite the Lord, O foolish people and unwise? is not he thy father that hath bought thee? hath he not made thee, and established thee?

Remember the days of old, consider the years of many generations: ask thy father, and he will shew thee; thy elders, and they will tell thee.

When the Most High divided to the nations their inheritance, when he separated the sons of Adam, he set the bounds of the people according to the number of the children of Israel.

For the Lord's portion is his people; Jacob is the lot of his inheritance.

10 He found him in a desert land, and in the waste howling wilderness; he led him about, he instructed him, he kept him as the apple of his eye.

11 As an eagle stirreth up her nest, fluttereth over her young, spreadeth abroad her wings, taketh them, beareth them on her wings:

12 So the Lord alone did lead him, and there was no strange god with him.

13 He made him ride on the high places of the earth, that he might eat the increase of the fields; and he made him to suck honey out of the rock, and oil out of the flinty rock;

14 Butter of kine, and milk of sheep, with fat of lambs, and rams of the breed of Bashan, and goats, with the fat of kidneys of wheat; and thou didst drink the pure blood of the grape.

15 But Jeshurun waxed fat, and kicked: thou art waxen fat, thou art grown thick, thou art covered with fatness; then he forsook God which made him, and lightly esteemed the Rock of his salvation.

16 They provoked him to jealousy with strange gods, with abominations provoked they him to anger.

17 They sacrificed unto devils, not to God; to gods whom they knew not, to new gods that came newly up, whom your fathers feared not.

18 Of the Rock that begat thee thou art unmindful, and hast forgotten God that formed thee.

19 And when the Lord saw it, he abhorred them, because of the provoking of his sons, and of his daughters.

20 And he said, I will hide my face from them, I will see what their end shall be: for they are a very froward generation, children in whom is no faith.

21 They have moved me to jealousy with that which is not God; they have provoked me to anger with their vanities: and I will move them to jealousy with those which are not a people; I will provoke them to anger with a foolish nation.

22 For a fire is kindled in mine anger, and shall burn unto the lowest hell, and shall consume the earth with her increase, and set on fire the foundations of the mountains.

23 I will heap mischiefs upon them; I will spend mine arrows upon them.

24 They shall be burnt with hunger, and devoured with burning heat, and with bitter destruction: I will also send the teeth of beasts upon them, with the poison of serpents of the dust.

25 The sword without, and terror within, shall destroy both the young man and the virgin, the suckling also with the man of gray hairs.

26 I said, I would scatter them into corners, I would make the remembrance of them to cease from among men:

27 Were it not that I feared the wrath of the enemy, lest their adversaries should behave themselves strangely, and lest they should say, Our hand is high, and the Lord hath not done all this.

28 For they are a nation void of counsel, neither is there any understanding in them.

29 O that they were wise, that they understood this, that they would consider their latter end!

30 How should one chase a thousand, and two put ten thousand to flight, except their Rock had sold them, and the Lord had shut them up?

31 For their rock is not as our Rock, even our enemies themselves being judges.

32 For their vine is of the vine of Sodom, and of the fields of Gomorrah: their grapes are grapes of gall, their clusters are bitter:

33 Their wine is the poison of dragons, and the cruel venom of asps.

34 Is not this laid up in store with me, and sealed up among my treasures?

35 To me belongeth vengeance and recompence; their foot shall slide in due time: for the day of their calamity is at hand, and the things that shall come upon them make haste.

36 For the Lord shall judge his people, and repent himself for his servants, when he seeth that their power is gone, and there is none shut up, or left.

37 And he shall say, Where are their gods, their rock in whom they trusted,

38 Which did eat the fat of their sacrifices, and drank the wine of their drink offerings? let them rise up and help you, and be your protection.

39 See now that I, even I, am he, and there is no god with me: I kill, and I make alive; I wound, and I heal: neither is there any that can deliver out of my hand.

40 For I lift up my hand to heaven, and say, I live for ever.

41 If I whet my glittering sword, and mine hand take hold on judgment; I will render vengeance to mine enemies, and will reward them that hate me.

42 I will make mine arrows drunk with blood, and my sword shall devour flesh; and that with the blood of the slain and of the captives, from the beginning of revenges upon the enemy.

43 Rejoice, O ye nations, with his people: for he will avenge the blood of his servants, and will render vengeance to his adversaries, and will be merciful unto his land, and to his people.

44 And Moses came and spake all the words of this song in the ears of the people, he, and Hoshea the son of Nun.

45 And Moses made an end of speaking all these words to all Israel:

46 And he said unto them, Set your hearts unto all the words which I testify among you this day, which ye shall command your children to observe to do, all the words of this law.

47 For it is not a vain thing for you; because it is your life: and through this thing ye shall prolong your days in the land, whither ye go over Jordan to possess it.

48 And the Lord spake unto Moses that selfsame day, saying,

49 Get thee up into this mountain Abarim, unto mount Nebo, which is in the land of Moab, that is over against Jericho; and behold the land of Canaan, which I give unto the children of Israel for a possession:

50 And die in the mount whither thou goest up, and be gathered unto thy people; as Aaron thy brother died in mount Hor, and was gathered unto his people:

51 Because ye trespassed against me among the children of Israel at the waters of MeribahKadesh, in the wilderness of Zin; because ye sanctified me not in the midst of the children of Israel.

52 Yet thou shalt see the land before thee; but thou shalt not go thither unto the land which I give the children of Israel.

32 Give ear, O heavens, and I [Moses] will speak; and let the earth hear the words of my mouth.

My message shall drop as the rain, my speech shall distil as the dew, as the light rain upon the tender grass, and as the showers upon the herb.

For I will proclaim the name [and presence] of the Lord. Concede and ascribe greatness to our God.

He is the Rock, His work is perfect, for all His ways are law and justice. A God of faithfulness without breach or deviation, just and right is He.

They [Israel] have spoiled themselves. They are not sons to Him, and that is their blemish—a perverse and crooked generation!

Do you thus repay the Lord, you foolish and senseless people? Is not He your Father Who acquired you for His own, Who made and established you [as a nation]?

Remember the days of old; consider the years of many generations. Ask your father and he will show you, your elders, and they will tell you.

When the Most High gave to the nations their inheritance, when He separated the children of men, He set the bounds of the peoples according to the number of the Israelites.

For the Lord’s portion is His people; Jacob (Israel) is the lot of His inheritance.

10 He found him in a desert land, in the howling void of the wilderness; He kept circling around him, He scanned him [penetratingly], He kept him as the pupil of His eye.

11 As an eagle that stirs up her nest, that flutters over her young, He spread abroad His wings and He took them, He bore them on His pinions.(A)

12 So the Lord alone led him; there was no foreign god with Him.

13 He made Israel ride on the high places of the earth, and he ate the increase of the field; and He made him suck honey out of the rock and oil out of the flinty rock,

14 Butter and curds of the herd and milk of the flock, with fat of lambs, and rams of the breed of Bashan, and he-goats, with the finest of the wheat; and you drank wine of the blood of the grape.

15 But Jeshurun (Israel) grew fat and kicked. You became fat, you grew thick, you were gorged and sleek! Then he forsook God Who made him and forsook and despised the Rock of his salvation.

16 They provoked Him to jealousy with strange gods, with abominations they provoked Him to anger.

17 They sacrificed to demons, not to God—to gods whom they knew not, to new gods lately come up, whom your fathers never knew or feared.

18 Of the Rock Who bore you you were unmindful; you forgot the God Who travailed in your birth.

19 And the Lord saw it and He spurned and rejected them, out of indignation with His sons and His daughters.

20 And He said, I will hide My face from them, I will see what their end will be; for they are a perverse generation, children in whom is no faithfulness.

21 They have moved Me to jealousy with what is not God; they have angered Me with their idols. So I will move them to jealousy with those who are not a people; I will anger them with a foolish nation.

22 For a fire is kindled by My anger, and it burns to the depths of Sheol, devours the earth with its increase, and sets on fire the foundations of the mountains.

23 And I will heap evils upon them; I will spend My arrows upon them.

24 They shall be wasted with hunger and devoured with burning heat and poisonous pestilence; and the teeth of beasts will I send against them, with the poison of crawling things of the dust.

25 From without the sword shall bereave, and in the chambers shall be terror, destroying both young man and virgin, the sucking child with the man of gray hairs.

26 I said, I would scatter them afar and I would have made the remembrance of them to cease from among men,

27 Had I not feared the provocation of the foe, lest their enemies misconstrue it and lest they should say, Our own hand has prevailed; all this was not the work of the Lord.

28 For they are a nation void of counsel, and there is no understanding in them.

29 O that they were wise and would see through this [present triumph] to their ultimate fate!

30 How could one have chased a thousand, and two put ten thousand to flight, except their Rock had sold them, and the Lord had delivered them up?

31 For their rock is not like our Rock, even our enemies themselves judge this.

32 For their vine comes from the vine of Sodom and from the fields of Gomorrah; their grapes are grapes of [poisonous] gall, their clusters are bitter.

33 Their wine is the [furious] venom of serpents, and the pitiless poison of vipers.

34 Is not this laid up in store with Me, sealed up in My treasuries?

35 Vengeance is Mine, and recompense, in the time when their foot shall slide; for the day of their disaster is at hand and their doom comes speedily.

36 For the Lord will revoke sentence for His people and relent for His servants’ sake when He sees that their power is gone and none remains, whether bond or free.

37 And He will say, Where are their gods, the rock in which they took refuge,

38 Who ate the fat of their sacrifices and drank the wine of their drink offering? Let them rise up and help you, let them be your protection!

39 See now that I, I am He, and there is no god beside Me; I kill and I make alive, I wound and I heal, and there is none who can deliver out of My hand.

40 For I lift up My hand to heaven and swear, As I live forever,

41 If I whet My lightning sword and My hand takes hold on judgment, I will wreak vengeance on My foes and recompense those who hate Me.

42 I will make My arrows drunk with blood, and My sword shall devour flesh, with the blood of the slain and the captives, from the long-haired heads of the foe.

43 Rejoice [with] His people, O you nations, for He avenges the blood of His servants, and vengeance He inflicts on His foes and clears guilt from the land of His people.

44 And Moses came and spoke all the words of this song in the ears of the people, he and Hoshea (Joshua) son of Nun.

45 And when Moses had finished speaking all these words to all Israel,

46 He said to them, Set your [minds and] hearts on all the words which I command you this day, that you may command them to your children, that they may be watchful to do all the words of this law.

47 For it is not an empty and worthless trifle for you; it is your [very] life. By it you shall live long in the land which you are going over the Jordan to possess.

48 And the Lord said to Moses that same day,

49 Get up into this mountain of the Abarim, Mount Nebo, which is in the land of Moab, opposite Jericho, and look at the land of Canaan which I give to the Israelites for a possession.

50 And die on the mountain which you ascend and be gathered to your people, as Aaron your brother died on Mount Hor and was gathered to his people,

51 Because you broke faith with Me in the midst of the Israelites at the waters of Meribah-kadesh in the Wilderness of Zin and because you did not set Me apart as holy in the midst of the Israelites.

52 For you shall see the land opposite you at a distance, but you shall not go there, into the land which I give the Israelites.
