Liber Leviticus

Leviticus, chapter 26, Vulgate and King James Version

Chapter 26 Vulgate

   1 "Non facietis vobis idolum et sculptile nec lapidem eri getis nec imaginem sculptam in petra ponetis in terra vestra, ut adoretis eam. Ego enim sum Dominus Deus vester.
   2 Custodite sabbata mea et pavete sanctuarium meum. Ego Dominus.
   3 Si in praeceptis meis ambulaveritis et mandata mea custodieritis et feceritis ea,
   4 dabo vobis pluvias temporibus suis, et terra gignet germen suum, et pomis arbores replebuntur.
   5 Apprehendet messium tritura vindemiam, et vindemia occupabit sementem; et comedetis panem vestrum in saturitatem et absque pavore habitabitis in terra vestra.
   6 Dabo pacem in finibus vestris, dormietis, et non erit qui exterreat. Auferam malas bestias, et gladius non transibit per terminos vestros.
   7 Persequemini inimicos vestros, et corruent coram vobis gladio.
   8 Persequentur quinque de vestris centum alienos, et centum ex vobis decem milia; cadent inimici vestri in conspectu vestro gladio.
   9 Respiciam vos et crescere faciam; multiplicabimini, et firmabo pactum meum vobiscum.
   10 Comedetis vetusta congregata priorum messium; et vetera, novis supervenientibus, proicietis.
   11 Ponam habitaculum meum in medio vestri, et non abominabitur vos anima mea.
   12 Ambulabo inter vos et ero vester Deus, vosque eritis populus meus.
   13 Ego Dominus Deus vester, qui eduxi vos de terra Aegyptiorum, ne serviretis eis, et qui confregi vectes iugi vestri, ut incederetis erecti.
   14 Quod si non audieritis me nec feceritis omnia mandata haec,
   15 si spreveritis leges meas, et iudicia mea contempserit anima vestra, ut non faciatis omnia, quae a me constituta sunt, et ad irritum perducatis pactum meum,
   16 ego quoque haec faciam vobis: visitabo vos in terrore repentino, in tabe et ardore, qui conficiant oculos et consumant animam, frustra seretis sementem, quae ab hostibus devorabitur.
   17 Ponam faciem meam contra vos, et corruetis coram hostibus vestris et subiciemini his, qui oderunt vos, et fugietis, nemine persequente.
   18 Sin autem nec sic oboedieritis mihi, addam correptiones vestras septuplum propter peccata vestra
   19 et conteram superbiam duritiae vestrae. Daboque caelum vobis desuper sicut ferrum et terram aeneam.
   20 Consumetur incassum robur vestrum: non proferet terra germen, nec arbores poma praebebunt.
   21 Si ambulaveritis ex adverso mihi nec volueritis audire me, addam plagas vestras usque in septuplum propter peccata vestra;
   22 emittamque in vos bestias agri, quae absque liberis vos faciant et deleant pecora vestra et ad paucitatem vos redigant, desertaeque fiant viae vestrae.
   23 Quod si nec sic volueritis recipere disciplinam, sed ambulaveritis ex adverso mihi,
   24 ego quoque contra vos adversus incedam et percutiam vos septies propter peccata vestra.
   25 inducamque super vos gladium ultorem foederis mei; cumque confugeritis in urbes vestras, mittam pestilentiam in medio vestri, et trademini hostium manibus.
   26 Postquam confregero vobis baculum panis, coquent decem mulieres in uno clibano panem vestrum et reddent eum ad pondus, et comedetis et non saturabimini.
   27 Sin autem nec per haec audieritis me, sed ambulaveritis contra me,
   28 et ego incedam adversus vos in furore contrario; et corripiam vos septem plagis propter peccata vestra,
   29 ita ut comedatis carnes filiorum et filiarum vestrarum.
   30 Destruam excelsa vestra et thymiamateria confringam et ponam cadavera vestra super cadavera idolorum vestrorum, et abominabitur vos anima mea,
   31 in tantum ut urbes vestras redigam in solitudinem et deserta faciam sanctuaria vestra nec recipiam ultra odorem suavissimum.
   32 Disperdamque terram vestram; et stupebunt super ea inimici vestri, cum habitatores illius fuerint.
   33 Vos autem dispergam in gentes et evaginabo post vos gladium; eritque terra vestra deserta et civitates dirutae.
   34 Tunc placebunt terrae sabbata sua cunctis diebus solitudinis suae; quando fueritis in terra hostili, sabbatizabit et sabbata sua supplebit.
   35 Cunctis diebus solitudinis sabbatizabit, eo quod non requieverit in sabbatis vestris, quando habitabatis in ea.
   36 Et, qui de vobis remanserint, dabo pavorem in cordibus eorum in regionibus hostium; terrebit eos sonitus folii volantis, et ita fugient quasi gladium; cadent, nullo persequente.
   37 Et corruent singuli super fratres suos quasi bella fugientes, nemine persequente. Nemo vestrum inimicis audebit resistere.
   38 Peribitis inter gentes, et hostilis vos terra consumet.
   39 Quod si et de vobis aliqui remanserint, tabescent in iniquitatibus suis in terris inimicorum vestrorum et propter peccata patrum suorum cum ipsis tabescent.
   40 Et confitebuntur iniquitates suas et maiorum suorum, quibus praevaricati sunt in me et ambulaverunt ex adverso mihi,
   41 ut et ego ambularem contra eos et inducerem illos in terram hostilem; vel tunc humiliabitur incircumcisum cor eorum, et tunc expiabunt pro impietatibus suis.
   42 Et recordabor foederis mei, quod pepigi cum Iacob et Isaac et Abraham. Terrae quoque memor ero,
   43 quae, cum relicta fuerit ab eis, complacebit sibi in sabbatis suis patiens solitudinem propter illos. Ipsi vero expiabunt pro peccatis suis, eo quod abiecerint iudicia mea et leges meas despexerint.
   44 Et tamen, etiam cum essent in terra hostili, non penitus abieci eos neque sic despexi, ut consumerentur, et irritum facerem pactum meum cum eis. Ego enim sum Dominus, Deus eorum.
   45 Et recordabor eis foederis cum maioribus, quos eduxi de terra Aegypti in conspectu gentium, ut essem Deus eorum. Ego Dominus"
   46 Haec sunt iudicia atque praecepta et leges, quas dedit Dominus inter se et inter filios Israel in monte Sinai per manum Moysi.

King James Version

   1 Ye shall make you no idols nor graven image, neither rear you up a standing image, neither shall ye set up any image of stone in your land, to bow down unto it: for I am the LORD your God.
   2 ¶ Ye shall keep my sabbaths, and reverence my sanctuary: I am the LORD.
   3 ¶ If ye walk in my statutes, and keep my commandments, and do them;
   4 Then I will give you rain in due season, and the land shall yield her increase, and the trees of the field shall yield their fruit.
   5 And your threshing shall reach unto the vintage, and the vintage shall reach unto the sowing time: and ye shall eat your bread to the full, and dwell in your land safely.
   6 And I will give peace in the land, and ye shall lie down, and none shall make you afraid: and I will rid evil beasts out of the land, neither shall the sword go through your land.
   7 And ye shall chase your enemies, and they shall fall before you by the sword.
   8 And five of you shall chase an hundred, and an hundred of you shall put ten thousand to flight: and your enemies shall fall before you by the sword.
   9 For I will have respect unto you, and make you fruitful, and multiply you, and establish my covenant with you.
   10 And ye shall eat old store, and bring forth the old because of the new.
   11 And I will set my tabernacle among you: and my soul shall not abhor you.
   12 And I will walk among you, and will be your God, and ye shall be my people.
   13 I am the LORD your God, which brought you forth out of the land of Egypt, that ye should not be their bondmen; and I have broken the bands of your yoke, and made you go upright.
   14 ¶ But if ye will not hearken unto me, and will not do all these commandments;
   15 And if ye shall despise my statutes, or if your soul abhor my judgments, so that ye will not do all my commandments, but that ye break my covenant:
   16 I also will do this unto you; I will even appoint over you terror, consumption, and the burning ague, that shall consume the eyes, and cause sorrow of heart: and ye shall sow your seed in vain, for your enemies shall eat it.
   17 And I will set my face against you, and ye shall be slain before your enemies: they that hate you shall reign over you; and ye shall flee when none pursueth you.
   18 And if ye will not yet for all this hearken unto me, then I will punish you seven times more for your sins.
   19 And I will break the pride of your power; and I will make your heaven as iron, and your earth as brass:
   20 And your strength shall be spent in vain: for your land shall not yield her increase, neither shall the trees of the land yield their fruits.
   21 ¶ And if ye walk contrary unto me, and will not hearken unto me; I will bring seven times more plagues upon you according to your sins.
   22 I will also send wild beasts among you, which shall rob you of your children, and destroy your cattle, and make you few in number; and your high ways shall be desolate.
   23 And if ye will not be reformed by me by these things, but will walk contrary unto me;
   24 Then will I also walk contrary unto you, and will punish you yet seven times for your sins.
   25 And I will bring a sword upon you, that shall avenge the quarrel of my covenant: and when ye are gathered together within your cities, I will send the pestilence among you; and ye shall be delivered into the hand of the enemy.
   26 And when I have broken the staff of your bread, ten women shall bake your bread in one oven, and they shall deliver you your bread again by weight: and ye shall eat, and not be satisfied.
   27 And if ye will not for all this hearken unto me, but walk contrary unto me;
   28 Then I will walk contrary unto you also in fury; and I, even I, will chastise you seven times for your sins.
   29 And ye shall eat the flesh of your sons, and the flesh of your daughters shall ye eat.
   30 And I will destroy your high places, and cut down your images, and cast your carcases upon the carcases of your idols, and my soul shall abhor you.
   31 And I will make your cities waste, and bring your sanctuaries unto desolation, and I will not smell the savour of your sweet odours.
   32 And I will bring the land into desolation: and your enemies which dwell therein shall be astonished at it.
   33 And I will scatter you among the heathen, and will draw out a sword after you: and your land shall be desolate, and your cities waste.
   34 Then shall the land enjoy her sabbaths, as long as it lieth desolate, and ye be in your enemies' land; even then shall the land rest, and enjoy her sabbaths.
   35 As long as it lieth desolate it shall rest; because it did not rest in your sabbaths, when ye dwelt upon it.
   36 And upon them that are left alive of you I will send a faintness into their hearts in the lands of their enemies; and the sound of a shaken leaf shall chase them; and they shall flee, as fleeing from a sword; and they shall fall when none pursueth.
   37 And they shall fall one upon another, as it were before a sword, when none pursueth: and ye shall have no power to stand before your enemies.
   38 And ye shall perish among the heathen, and the land of your enemies shall eat you up.
   39 And they that are left of you shall pine away in their iniquity in your enemies' lands; and also in the iniquities of their fathers shall they pine away with them.
   40 If they shall confess their iniquity, and the iniquity of their fathers, with their trespass which they trespassed against me, and that also they have walked contrary unto me;
   41 And that I also have walked contrary unto them, and have brought them into the land of their enemies; if then their uncircumcised hearts be humbled, and they then accept of the punishment of their iniquity:
   42 Then will I remember my covenant with Jacob, and also my covenant with Isaac, and also my covenant with Abraham will I remember; and I will remember the land.
   43 The land also shall be left of them, and shall enjoy her sabbaths, while she lieth desolate without them: and they shall accept of the punishment of their iniquity: because, even because they despised my judgments, and because their soul abhorred my statutes.
   44 And yet for all that, when they be in the land of their enemies, I will not cast them away, neither will I abhor them, to destroy them utterly, and to break my covenant with them: for I am the LORD their God.
   45 But I will for their sakes remember the covenant of their ancestors, whom I brought forth out of the land of Egypt in the sight of the heathen, that I might be their God: I am the LORD.
   46 These are the statutes and judgments and laws, which the LORD made between him and the children of Israel in mount Sinai by the hand of Moses.
