Deuteronomio 27
Conferenza Episcopale Italiana
La legge è scritta. Cerimonie cultuali
27 Mosè e gli anziani d'Israele diedero quest'ordine al popolo: «Osservate tutti i comandi che oggi vi do. 2 Quando avrete passato il Giordano per entrare nel paese che il Signore vostro Dio sta per darvi, erigerai grandi pietre e le intonacherai di calce. 3 Scriverai su di esse tutte le parole di questa legge, quando avrai passato il Giordano per entrare nel paese che il Signore tuo Dio sta per darti, paese dove scorre latte e miele, come il Signore, Dio dei tuoi padri, ti ha detto. 4 Quando dunque avrete passato il Giordano, erigerete sul monte Ebal queste pietre, che oggi vi comando, e le intonacherete di calce. 5 Là costruirai anche un altare al Signore tuo Dio, un altare di pietre non toccate da strumento di ferro. 6 Costruirai l'altare del Signore tuo Dio con pietre intatte e sopra vi offrirai olocausti al Signore tuo Dio, 7 offrirai sacrifici di comunione e là mangerai e ti gioirai davanti al Signore tuo Dio. 8 Scriverai su quelle pietre tutte le parole di questa legge con scrittura ben chiara».
9 Mosè e i sacerdoti leviti dissero a tutto Israele: «Fà silenzio e ascolta, Israele! Oggi sei divenuto il popolo del Signore tuo Dio. 10 Obbedirai quindi alla voce del Signore tuo Dio e metterai in pratica i suoi comandi e le sue leggi che oggi ti do». 11 In quello stesso giorno Mosè diede quest'ordine al popolo: 12 «Quando avrete passato il Giordano, ecco quelli che staranno sul mont Garizim per benedire il popolo: Simeone, Levi, Giuda, Issacar, Giuseppe e Beniamino; 13 ecco quelli che staranno sul monte Ebal, per pronunciare la maledizione: Ruben, Gad, Aser, Zàbulon, Dan e Nèftali. 14 I leviti prenderanno la parola e diranno ad alta voce a tutti gli Israeliti:
15 Maledetto l'uomo che fa un'immagine scolpita o di metallo fuso, abominio per il Signore, lavoro di mano d'artefice, e la pone in luogo occulto! Tutto il popolo risponderà e dirà: Amen.
16 Maledetto chi maltratta il padre e la madre! Tutto il popolo dirà: Amen.
17 Maledetto chi sposta i confini del suo prossimo! Tutto il popolo dirà: Amen.
18 Maledetto chi fa smarrire il cammino al cieco! Tutto il popolo dirà: Amen.
19 Maledetto chi lede il diritto del forestiero, dell'orfano e della vedova! Tutto il popolo dirà: Amen.
20 Maledetto chi si unisce con la moglie del padre, perché solleva il lembo del mantello del padre! Tutto il popolo dirà: Amen.
21 Maledetto chi si unisce con qualsiasi bestia! Tutto il popolo dirà: Amen.
22 Maledetto chi si unisce con la propria sorella, figlia di suo padre o figlia di sua madre! Tutto il popolo dirà: Amen.
23 Maledetto chi si unisce con la suocera! Tutto il popolo dirà: Amen.
24 Maledetto chi uccide il suo prossimo in segreto! Tutto il popolo dirà: Amen.
25 Maledetto chi accetta un regalo per condannare a morte un innocente! Tutto il popolo dirà: Amen.
26 Maledetto chi non mantiene in vigore le parole di questa legge, per metterla in pratica! Tutto il popolo dirà: Amen.

Lagens stenar på berget Ebal
27 Mose och de äldste i Israel gav folket denna befallning: "Håll alla de bud som jag i dag ger er. 2 Den dag ni kommer över Jordan, in i det land som Herren, din Gud, ger dig, skall du resa stora stenar åt dig och bestryka dem med kalk. 3 När du har gått över skall du på dem skriva alla ord i denna lag, för att du må komma in i det land som Herren, din Gud, ger dig, ett land som flödar av mjölk och honung, så som Herren, dina fäders Gud, har lovat dig. 4 När ni har gått över Jordan, skall ni på berget Ebal resa dessa stenar som jag i dag ger er befallning om, och du skall bestryka dem med kalk. 5 Och du skall där bygga ett altare åt Herren, din Gud, ett altare av stenar, som du inte skall bearbeta med något järn. 6 Av ohuggna stenar skall du bygga Herrens, din Guds, altare, och på det skall du offra brännoffer åt Herren, din Gud. 7 Där skall du också offra gemenskapsoffer och du skall äta och glädja dig inför Herrens, din Guds, ansikte. 8 På stenarna skall du klart och tydligt skriva alla ord i denna lag."
Förbannelser
9 Mose och de levitiska prästerna sade till hela Israel: "Var stilla och hör, Israel! I dag har du blivit Herrens, din Guds, folk. 10 Du skall lyda Herrens, din Guds, röst och hålla hans bud och stadgar som jag i dag ger dig."
11 På den dagen gav Mose folket denna befallning: 12 När ni har gått över Jordan skall dessa stammar stå på berget Gerissim och välsigna folket: Simeon, Levi, Juda, Isaskar, Josef och Benjamin. 13 Och dessa skall stå och uttala förbannelsen på berget Ebal: Ruben, Gad, Aser, Sebulon, Dan och Naftali. 14 Leviterna skall sedan ta till orda och med hög röst säga till alla i Israel:
15 Förbannad är den man som gör en utskuren eller gjuten avgud, en styggelse för Herren, ett verk av en konstarbetares händer, och som i hemlighet sätter upp den. Och allt folket skall svara och säga: "Amen."
16 Förbannad är den som föraktar sin far eller sin mor. Och allt folket skall säga: "Amen."
17 Förbannad är den som flyttar sin nästas råmärke. Och allt folket skall säga: "Amen."
18 Förbannad är den som leder en blind vilse på vägen. Och allt folket skall säga: "Amen."
19 Förbannad är den som förvanskar rätten för främlingen, den faderlöse och änkan. Och allt folket skall säga: "Amen."
20 Förbannad är den som ligger med sin fars hustru, ty han vanärar sin fars bädd. Och allt folket skall säga: "Amen."
21 Förbannad är den som ligger med något djur. Och allt folket skall säga: "Amen."
22 Förbannad är den som ligger med sin syster, sin fars dotter eller sin mors dotter. Och allt folket skall säga: "Amen."
23 Förbannad är den som ligger med sin svärmor. Och allt folket skall säga: "Amen."
24 Förbannad är den som i hemlighet slår ihjäl sin nästa. Och allt folket skall säga: "Amen."
25 Förbannad är den som tar mutor för att slå ihjäl en oskyldig och utgjuta hans blod. Och allt folket skall säga: "Amen."
26 Förbannad är den som inte upprätthåller alla ord i denna lag genom att följa dem. Och allt folket skall säga: "Amen."

The Altar on Mount Ebal
27 Moses and the elders of Israel commanded the people: “Keep all these commands(A) that I give you today. 2 When you have crossed the Jordan(B) into the land the Lord your God is giving you, set up some large stones(C) and coat them with plaster.(D) 3 Write on them all the words of this law when you have crossed over to enter the land the Lord your God is giving you, a land flowing with milk and honey,(E) just as the Lord, the God of your ancestors, promised you. 4 And when you have crossed the Jordan, set up these stones on Mount Ebal,(F) as I command you today, and coat them with plaster. 5 Build there an altar(G) to the Lord your God, an altar of stones.

14 The Levites shall recite to all the people of Israel in a loud voice:

King James Version
27 And Moses with the elders of Israel commanded the people, saying, Keep all the commandments which I command you this day.
2 And it shall be on the day when ye shall pass over Jordan unto the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee, that thou shalt set thee up great stones, and plaister them with plaister:
3 And thou shalt write upon them all the words of this law, when thou art passed over, that thou mayest go in unto the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee, a land that floweth with milk and honey; as the Lord God of thy fathers hath promised thee.
4 Therefore it shall be when ye be gone over Jordan, that ye shall set up these stones, which I command you this day, in mount Ebal, and thou shalt plaister them with plaister.
5 And there shalt thou build an altar unto the Lord thy God, an altar of stones: thou shalt not lift up any iron tool upon them.
6 Thou shalt build the altar of the Lord thy God of whole stones: and thou shalt offer burnt offerings thereon unto the Lord thy God:
7 And thou shalt offer peace offerings, and shalt eat there, and rejoice before the Lord thy God.
8 And thou shalt write upon the stones all the words of this law very plainly.
9 And Moses and the priests the Levites spake unto all Israel, saying, Take heed, and hearken, O Israel; this day thou art become the people of the Lord thy God.
10 Thou shalt therefore obey the voice of the Lord thy God, and do his commandments and his statutes, which I command thee this day.
11 And Moses charged the people the same day, saying,
12 These shall stand upon mount Gerizim to bless the people, when ye are come over Jordan; Simeon, and Levi, and Judah, and Issachar, and Joseph, and Benjamin:
13 And these shall stand upon mount Ebal to curse; Reuben, Gad, and Asher, and Zebulun, Dan, and Naphtali.
14 And the Levites shall speak, and say unto all the men of Israel with a loud voice,
15 Cursed be the man that maketh any graven or molten image, an abomination unto the Lord, the work of the hands of the craftsman, and putteth it in a secret place. And all the people shall answer and say, Amen.
16 Cursed be he that setteth light by his father or his mother. And all the people shall say, Amen.
17 Cursed be he that removeth his neighbour's landmark. And all the people shall say, Amen.
18 Cursed be he that maketh the blind to wander out of the way. And all the people shall say, Amen.
19 Cursed be he that perverteth the judgment of the stranger, fatherless, and widow. And all the people shall say, Amen.
20 Cursed be he that lieth with his father's wife; because he uncovereth his father's skirt. And all the people shall say, Amen.
21 Cursed be he that lieth with any manner of beast. And all the people shall say, Amen.
22 Cursed be he that lieth with his sister, the daughter of his father, or the daughter of his mother. And all the people shall say, Amen.
23 Cursed be he that lieth with his mother in law. And all the people shall say, Amen.
24 Cursed be he that smiteth his neighbour secretly. And all the people shall say, Amen.
25 Cursed be he that taketh reward to slay an innocent person. And all the people shall say, Amen.
26 Cursed be he that confirmeth not all the words of this law to do them. And all the people shall say, Amen.

The Law Inscribed on Stones
27 Now Moses, with the elders of Israel, commanded the people, saying: “Keep all the commandments which I command you today. 2 And it shall be, on the day (A)when you cross over the Jordan to the land which the Lord your God is giving you, that (B)you shall set up for yourselves large stones, and whitewash them with lime. 3 You shall write on them all the words of this law, when you have crossed over, that you may enter the land which the Lord your God is giving you, (C)‘a land flowing with milk and honey,’ just as the Lord God of your fathers promised you. 4 Therefore it shall be, when you have crossed over the Jordan, that (D)on Mount Ebal you shall set up these stones, which I command you today, and you shall whitewash them with lime. 5 And there you shall build an altar to the Lord your God, an altar of stones; (E)you shall not use an iron tool on them. 6 You shall build with [a]whole stones the altar of the Lord your God, and offer burnt offerings on it to the Lord your God. 7 You shall offer peace offerings, and shall eat there, and (F)rejoice before the Lord your God. 8 And you shall (G)write very plainly on the stones all the words of this law.”
9 Then Moses and the priests, the Levites, spoke to all Israel, saying, “Take heed and listen, O Israel: (H)This day you have become the people of the Lord your God. 10 Therefore you shall obey the voice of the Lord your God, and observe His commandments and His statutes which I command you today.”

14 “And (K)the Levites shall speak with a loud voice and say to all the men of Israel: 15 (L)‘Cursed is the one who makes a carved or molded image, [b]an abomination to the Lord, the work of the hands of the craftsman, and sets it up in secret.’
