Commentary on Harmony of the Law Volume 1 Complete John Calvin (continued)
JOHN CALVIN
1. All the commandments which I command thee this day shall ye observe to do, that ye may live, and multiply, and go in and possess the land which the Lord sware unto your fathers.
1. Omne praeceptum quod ego praecipio tibi hodie, custodietis ut faciatis, ut vivatis, et multiplicemini, et ingrediamini ut possideatis terram de qua juravit Jehova patribus vestris.
2. And thou shalt remember all the way which the Lord thy God led thee these forty years in the wilderness, to humble thee, and to prove thee, to know what was in thine heart, whether thou wouldest keep his commandments, or no.
2. Meminerisque totius vim per quam deduxit to Jehova Deus tuus jam quadraginta annis in deserto, ut affligeret to ac tentaret to, ut sciret quid haberes in corde tuo, utrum observaturus esses praecepta ejus, annon.
3. And he humbled thee, and suffered thee to hunger, and fed thee with manna, which thou knewest not, neither did thy fathers know; that he might make thee know that man doth not live by bread only, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of the Lord doth man live.
3. Et afflixit te, ac esurire te fecit, postea pavit te Man, quod non noveras, neque noverant patres tui: ut scire faceret te quod non in pane solo vivet homo, sed omni eo quod egreditur ex ore Jehovae vivet homo.
4. Thy raiment waxed not old upon thee, neither did thy foot swell, these forty years.
4. Vestimentum tuum ne quaquam veteravit super re, neque pes tuus intumuit jam quadraginta annis.
5. Thou shalt also consider in thine heart, that, as a man chasteneth his son, so the Lord thy God chasteneth thee.
5. Sciasque in corde tuo quod quemadmodum erudit homo filium suum, sic Jehova Deus tuus erudit re.
6. Therefore thou shalt keep the commandments of the Lord thy God, to walk in his ways, and to fear him.
6. Et custodies praecepta Jehovae Dei tui, ut ambules per vias ejus, et timeas eum.
