Deuteronomii, chapter 27, Vulgate and King James Version

Chapter 27 Vulgate

   1 Praecepit autem Moyses et seniores Israel populo dicen tes: "Custodite omne mandatum, quod praecipio vobis hodie.
   2 Cumque transieritis Iordanem in terram, quam Dominus Deus tuus dabit tibi, eriges ingentes lapides et calce obduces eos,
   3 ut possis in eis scribere omnia verba legis huius, Iordane transmisso, ut introeas terram, quam Dominus Deus tuus dabit tibi, terram lacte et melle manantem, sicut locutus est Dominus, Deus patrum tuorum, tibi.
   4 Quando ergo transieritis Iordanem, erigite istos lapides, sicut ego hodie praecipio vobis, in monte Hebal, et obduces eos calce;
   5 et aedificabis ibi altare Domino Deo tuo de lapidibus, quos ferrum non tetigit,
   6 de saxis impolitis, et offeres super eo holocausta Domino Deo tuo.
   7 Et immolabis hostias pacificas comedesque ibi et epulaberis coram Domino Deo tuo;
   8 et scribes super lapides omnia verba legis huius plane et lucide"
   9 Dixeruntque Moyses et sacerdotes levitici generis ad omnem Israelem: "Attende et audi, Israel: hodie factus es populus Domino Deo tuo;
   10 audies vocem eius et facies mandata atque praecepta, quae ego praecipio tibi"
   11 Praecepitque Moyses populo in die illo dicens:
   12 "Hi stabunt ad benedicendum populo super montem Garizim, Iordane transmisso: Simeon, Levi, Iudas, Issachar, Ioseph et Beniamin.
   13 Et e regione isti stabunt ad maledicendum in monte Hebal: Ruben, Gad et Aser et Zabulon, Dan et Nephthali.
   14 Et pronunciabunt Levitae dicentque ad omnes viros Israel excelsa voce:
   15 "Maledictus homo, qui facit sculptile et conflatile, abominationem Domini, opus manuum artificum, ponetque illud in abscondito" Et respondebit omnis populus et dicet: "Amen"
   16 "Maledictus, qui contemnit patrem suum et matrem" Et dicet omnis populus: "Amen"
   17 "Maledictus, qui transfert terminos proximi sui" Et dicet omnis populus: "Amen"
   18 "Maledictus, qui errare facit caecum in itinere" Et dicet omnis populus: "Amen"
   19 "Maledictus, qui pervertit iudicium advenae, pupilli et viduae" Et dicet omnis populus: "Amen"
   20 "Maledictus, qui dormit cum uxore patris sui, quia revelat operimentum lectuli eius" Et dicet omnis populus: "Amen"
   21 "Maledictus, qui dormit cum omni iumento" Et dicet omnis populus: "Amen"
   22 "Maledictus, qui dormit cum sorore sua, filia patris sui sive matris suae" Et dicet omnis populus: "Amen"
   23 "Maledictus, qui dormit cum socru sua" Et dicet omnis populus: "Amen"
   24 "Maledictus, qui clam percusserit proximum suum" Et dicet omnis populus: "Amen"
   25 "Maledictus, qui accipit munera, ut percutiat sanguinem innocentem" Et dicet omnis populus: "Amen"
   26 "Maledictus, qui non permanet in sermonibus legis huius nec eos opere perficit" Et dicet omnis populus: "Amen"

King James Version

   1 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.
