Renewal of the Covenant
29 [a]These are the terms of the covenant the Lord commanded Moses to make with the Israelites in Moab,(A) in addition to the covenant he had made with them at Horeb.(B)
2 Moses summoned all the Israelites and said to them:
Your eyes have seen all that the Lord did in Egypt to Pharaoh, to all his officials and to all his land.(C) 3 With your own eyes you saw those great trials, those signs and great wonders.(D) 4 But to this day the Lord has not given you a mind that understands or eyes that see or ears that hear.(E) 5 Yet the Lord says, “During the forty years that I led(F) you through the wilderness, your clothes did not wear out, nor did the sandals on your feet.(G) 6 You ate no bread and drank no wine or other fermented drink.(H) I did this so that you might know that I am the Lord your God.”(I)
7 When you reached this place, Sihon(J) king of Heshbon(K) and Og king of Bashan came out to fight against us, but we defeated them.(L) 8 We took their land and gave it as an inheritance(M) to the Reubenites, the Gadites and the half-tribe of Manasseh.(N)
9 Carefully follow(O) the terms of this covenant,(P) so that you may prosper in everything you do.(Q) 10 All of you are standing today in the presence of the Lord your God—your leaders and chief men, your elders and officials, and all the other men of Israel, 11 together with your children and your wives, and the foreigners living in your camps who chop your wood and carry your water.(R) 12 You are standing here in order to enter into a covenant with the Lord your God, a covenant the Lord is making with you this day and sealing with an oath, 13 to confirm you this day as his people,(S) that he may be your God(T) as he promised you and as he swore to your fathers, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. 14 I am making this covenant,(U) with its oath, not only with you 15 who are standing here with us today in the presence of the Lord our God but also with those who are not here today.(V)
16 You yourselves know how we lived in Egypt and how we passed through the countries on the way here. 17 You saw among them their detestable images and idols of wood and stone, of silver and gold.(W) 18 Make sure there is no man or woman, clan or tribe among you today whose heart turns(X) away from the Lord our God to go and worship the gods of those nations; make sure there is no root among you that produces such bitter poison.(Y)
19 When such a person hears the words of this oath and they invoke a blessing(Z) on themselves, thinking, “I will be safe, even though I persist in going my own way,”(AA) they will bring disaster on the watered land as well as the dry. 20 The Lord will never be willing to forgive(AB) them; his wrath and zeal(AC) will burn(AD) against them. All the curses written in this book will fall on them, and the Lord will blot(AE) out their names from under heaven. 21 The Lord will single them out from all the tribes of Israel for disaster,(AF) according to all the curses of the covenant written in this Book of the Law.(AG)
22 Your children who follow you in later generations and foreigners who come from distant lands will see the calamities that have fallen on the land and the diseases with which the Lord has afflicted it.(AH) 23 The whole land will be a burning waste(AI) of salt(AJ) and sulfur—nothing planted, nothing sprouting, no vegetation growing on it. It will be like the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah,(AK) Admah and Zeboyim, which the Lord overthrew in fierce anger.(AL) 24 All the nations will ask: “Why has the Lord done this to this land?(AM) Why this fierce, burning anger?”
25 And the answer will be: “It is because this people abandoned the covenant of the Lord, the God of their ancestors, the covenant he made with them when he brought them out of Egypt.(AN) 26 They went off and worshiped other gods and bowed down to them, gods they did not know, gods he had not given them. 27 Therefore the Lord’s anger burned against this land, so that he brought on it all the curses written in this book.(AO) 28 In furious anger and in great wrath(AP) the Lord uprooted(AQ) them from their land and thrust them into another land, as it is now.”
29 The secret things belong to the Lord our God,(AR) but the things revealed belong to us and to our children forever, that we may follow all the words of this law.(AS)

29 Queste sono le parole del patto che l'Eterno comandò a Mosè di fare con i figli d'Israele nel paese di Moab, oltre il patto che aveva fatto con essi al monte Horeb.
2 Mosè convocò dunque tutto Israele e disse loro: «Voi avete visto tutto ciò che l'Eterno ha fatto sotto i vostri occhi nel paese d'Egitto al Faraone, a tutti i suoi servitori e a tutto il suo paese;
3 i tuoi occhi hanno visto le grandi calamità, i segni e quei grandi prodigi;
4 ma fino a questo giorno l'Eterno non vi ha dato un cuore per comprendere, occhi per vedere e orecchi per udire.
5 Io vi ho condotto quarant'anni nel deserto; le vostre vesti non si sono logorate addosso a voi e i vostri calzari non si sono logorati ai vostri piedi.
6 Non avete mangiato pane e non avete bevuto vino né bevanda inebriante, affinché conosceste che io sono l'Eterno, il vostro DIO.
7 Quando siete arrivati in questo luogo, Sihon re di Heshbon e Og re di Bashan sono usciti contro di noi per combattere, ma noi li abbiamo sconfitti,
8 abbiamo preso il loro paese e l'abbiamo dato in eredità ai Rubeniti, ai Gaditi e alla mezza tribú di Manasse.
9 Osservate dunque le parole di questo patto e mettetele in pratica, affinché prosperiate in tutto ciò che fate.
10 Oggi tutti voi state davanti all'Eterno, il vostro DIO: i vostri capi, le vostre tribú, i vostri anziani, i vostri ufficiali, tutti gli uomini d'Israele,
11 i vostri bambini, le vostre mogli e lo straniero che in mezzo al tuo accampamento, da colui che spacca la tua legna a colui che attinge la tua acqua,
12 per entrare nel patto dell'Eterno, il tuo DIO, e nel suo giuramento che l'Eterno, il tuo DIO, fa oggi con te,
13 per stabilirti oggi come suo popolo e per essere tuo DIO, come ti disse e come giurò ai tuoi padri, ad Abrahamo, a Isacco e a Giacobbe.
14 Io faccio questo patto e questo giuramento non soltanto con voi,
15 ma anche con quelli che stanno qui oggi con noi davanti all'Eterno, il nostro DIO, e con quelli che oggi non sono qui con noi.
16 (Poiché voi sapete che abbiamo dimorato nel paese d'Egitto e che siamo passati in mezzo alle nazioni, che avete attraversato;
17 e avete visto le loro abominazioni e gl'idoli di legno, di pietra, d'argento e d'oro, che sono in mezzo a loro).
18 Non vi sia tra voi uomo o donna o famiglia o tribú il cui cuore si allontani dall'Eterno il nostro DIO, per andare a servire gli dèi di quelle nazioni; non vi sia tra di voi radice alcuna che produca veleno e assenzio;
19 e non avvenga che alcuno, ascoltando le parole di questo giuramento, in cuor suo faccia propria una benedizione, dicendo: "Avrò pace, anche se camminerò secondo la caparbietà del mio cuore", come se l'ebbro potesse essere incluso al sobrio.
20 L'Eterno non gli potrà mai perdonare; ma in tal caso l'ira dell'Eterno e la sua gelosia arderanno contro quell'uomo e tutte le maledizioni scritte in questo libro si poseranno su di lui, e l'Eterno cancellerà il suo nome di sotto al cielo;
21 l'Eterno lo separerà per distruzione da tutte le tribú d'Israele, secondo tutte le maledizioni del patto scritto in questo libro della legge.
22 Così la futura generazione dei vostri figli che sorgerà dopo di voi e lo straniero che verrà da un paese lontano, nel vedere le calamità e le infermità che l'Eterno gli ha inflitto, diranno:
23 "Tutto il suolo è zolfo, sale, arsura; non è seminato, non produce più nulla e non vi cresce piú alcuna erba, come dopo la distruzione di Sodoma, di Gomorra, di Admah e di Tseboim, che l'Eterno distrusse nella sua ira e nel suo furore".
24 Si
25 Allora risponderanno: "Poiché hanno abbandonato il patto dell'Eterno, il DIO dei loro padri, che egli stabilì con loro, quando li fece uscire dal paese d'Egitto;
26 perché sono andati a servire altri dèi e si sono prostrati davanti a loro, dèi che essi non avevano conosciuto e che l'Eterno non aveva loro dato.
27 Per questo si è accesa l'ira dell'Eterno contro questo paese, per far venire su di esso tutte le maledizioni scritte in questo libro;
28 e l'Eterno li ha strappati dal loro paese con ira, con furore e con grande indignazione e li ha gettati in un altro paese, come è avvenuto oggi".
29 Le cose occulte appartengono all'Eterno, il nostro DIO, ma le cose rivelate sono per noi e per i nostri figli per sempre, perché mettiamo in pratica tutte le parole di questa legge».

29 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 the covenant which he made with them in Horeb.
2 And Moses called unto all Israel, and said unto them, Ye have seen all that the Lord did before your eyes in the land of Egypt unto Pharaoh, and unto all his servants, and unto all his land;
3 The great temptations which thine eyes have seen, the signs, and those great miracles:
4 Yet the Lord hath not given you an heart to perceive, and eyes to see, and ears to hear, unto this day.
5 And I have led you forty years in the wilderness: your clothes are not waxen old upon you, and thy shoe is not waxen 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 the Lord your God.
7 And when ye came unto this place, Sihon the king of Heshbon, and Og the king of Bashan, came out against us unto battle, and we smote them:
8 And we took their land, and gave it for an inheritance unto 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 unto the drawer of thy water:
12 That thou shouldest 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 unto himself, and that he may be unto 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 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 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 imagination of mine 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 unto 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 rise up after you, and the stranger that shall come from a far 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 thereof is brimstone, and salt, and burning, that it is not sown, nor beareth, nor any grass groweth therein, like the overthrow of Sodom, and Gomorrah, Admah, and Zeboim, which the Lord overthrew in his anger, and in his wrath:
24 Even all nations shall say, Wherefore hath the Lord done thus unto 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 out of the land of Egypt:
26 For they went and served other gods, and worshipped them, gods whom they knew not, and whom he had not given unto 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 unto the Lord our God: but those things which are revealed belong unto us and to our children for ever, that we may do all the words of this law.
