ΔΕΥΤΕΡΟΝΟΜΙΟΝ - Deuteronomio - Deuteronomy 21

GREEK BIBLE	NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 Εαν τις ευρεθη πεφονευμενος εν τη γη, την οποιαν Κυριος ο Θεος σου διδει εις σε δια να κληρονομησης αυτην, πεσμενος εις την πεδιαδα, και ηναι αγνωστον τις εφονευσεν αυτον,	1 "If the corpse of a slain man is found lying in the open on the land which the LORD, your God, is giving you to occupy, and it is not known who killed him,
2 τοτε θελουσιν εξελθει οι πρεσβυτεροι σου και οι κριται σου, και θελουσι μετρησει προς τας πολεις τας περιξ του πεφονευμενου?	2 your elders and judges shall go out and measure the distances to the cities that are in the neighborhood of the corpse.
3 και της πολεως, ητις ειναι η πλησιεστερα εις τον πεφονευμενον, οι πρεσβυτεροι της πολεως εκεινης θελουσι λαβει δαμαλιν, ητις δεν υπεβληθη εις εργασιαν ουδε εσυρεν υπο τον ζυγον?	3 When it is established which city is nearest the corpse, the elders of that city shall take a heifer that has never been put to work as a draft animal under a yoke,
4 και θελουσι καταβιβασει οι πρεσβυτεροι της πολεως εκεινης την δαμαλιν εις τραχειαν φαραγγα, ητις ουτε γεωργειται ουτε σπειρεται και εκει εν τη φαραγγι θελουσι κοψει τον τραχηλον της δαμαλεως.	4 and bringing it down to a wadi with an everflowing stream at a place that has not been plowed or sown, they shall cut the heifer's throat there in the wadi.
5 Και θελουσι πλησιασει οι ιερεις οι υιοι του Λευι? επειδη αυτους εξελεξε Κυριος ο Θεος σου να λειτουργωσιν εις αυτον, και να ευλογωσιν εν τω ονοματι του Κυριου? και κατα τον λογον αυτων θελει κρινεσθαι πασα διαφορα και πασα πληγη?	5 The priests, the descendants of Levi, shall also be present, for the LORD, your God, has chosen them to minister to him and to give blessings in his name, and every case of dispute or violence must be settled by their decision.
6 και παντες οι πρεσβυτεροι της πολεως εκεινης, της πλησιεστερας εις τον πεφονευμενον, θελουσι νιψει τας χειρας αυτων επι της δαμαλεως της εσφαγμενης εν τη φαραγγι?	6 Then all the elders of that city nearest the corpse shall wash their hands over the heifer whose throat was cut in the wadi,
7 και αποκριθεντες θελουσιν ειπει, Αι χειρες ημων δεν εχυσαν το αιμα τουτο, ουδε ειδον οι οφθαλμοι ημων?	7 and shall declare, 'Our hands did not shed this blood, and our eyes did not see the deed.
8 γενου ιλεως, Κυριε, εις τον λαον σου τον Ισραηλ, τον οποιον ελυτρωσας, και μη βαλης επι τον λαον σου Ισραηλ αιμα αθωον? και θελει συγχωρηθη εις αυτους το αιμα.	8 Absolve, O LORD, your people Israel, whom you have ransomed, and let not the guilt of shedding innocent blood remain in the midst of your people Israel.' Thus they shall be absolved from the guilt of bloodshed,
9 Ουτω θελεις εξαλειψει εκ μεσου σου το αθωον αιμα, οταν καμης το αρεστον εις τους οφθαλμους του Κυριου.	9 and you shall purge from your midst the guilt of innocent blood, that you may prosper for doing what is right in the sight of the LORD.
10 Οταν εξελθης να πολεμησης τους εχθρους σου, και Κυριος ο Θεος σου παραδωση αυτους εις τας χειρας σου, και λαβης εξ αυτων αιχμαλωτους,	10 "When you go out to war against your enemies and the LORD, your God, delivers them into your hand, so that you take captives,
11 και ιδης μεταξυ των αιχμαλωτων γυναικα ευειδη και επιθυμησης αυτην, δια να λαβης αυτην εις σεαυτον γυναικα,	11 if you see a comely woman among the captives and become so enamored of her that you wish to have her as wife,
12 τοτε θελεις φερει αυτην εις την οικιαν σου, και θελει ξυρισει την κεφαλην αυτης και περιονυχισει τους ονυχας αυτης?	12 you may take her home to your house. But before she may live there, she must shave her head and pare her nails
13 και θελει εκδυθη τα ενδυματα της αιχμαλωσιας αυτης επανωθεν αυτης και θελει καθησει εν τη οικια σου και κλαυσει τον πατερα αυτης και την μητερα αυτης ολοκληρον μηνα? και μετα ταυτα θελεις εισελθει προς αυτην, και θελεις εισθαι ανηρ αυτης και εκεινη θελει εισθαι γυνη σου.	13 and lay aside her captive's garb. After she has mourned her father and mother for a full month, you may have relations with her, and you shall be her husband and she shall be your wife.
14 Και εαν συμβη να μη ευχαριστησαι εις αυτην, τοτε θελεις εξαποστειλει αυτην ελευθεραν? και δεν θελεις πωλησει αυτην δι' αργυριον, δεν θελεις εμπορευθη αυτην, διοτι εταπεινωσας αυτην.	14 However, if later on you lose your liking for her, you shall give her her freedom, if she wishes it; but you shall not sell her or enslave her, since she was married to you under compulsion.
15 Εαν τις εχη δυο γυναικας, την μιαν αγαπωμενην και την αλλην μισουμενην, και γεννησωσιν εις αυτον τεκνα η αγαπωμενη και η μισουμενη, και ο πρωτοτοκος υιος ηναι της μισουμενης,	15 "If a man with two wives loves one and dislikes the other; and if both bear him sons, but the first-born is of her whom he dislikes:
16 τοτε, καθ' ην ημεραν μοιραζει εις τους υιους αυτου την περιουσιαν αυτου, δεν δυναται να καμη πρωτοτοκον τον υιον της αγαπωμενης, παριδων τον υιον της μισουμενης, τον αληθως πρωτοτοκον?	16 when he comes to bequeath his property to his sons he may not consider as his first-born the son of the wife he loves, in preference to his true first-born, the son of the wife whom he dislikes.
17 αλλα θελει αναγνωρισει τον υιον της μισουμενης δια πρωτοτοκον, διδων εις αυτον διπλουν μεριδιον εκ παντων των υπαρχοντων αυτου? διοτι ειναι η αρχη της δυναμεως αυτου? εις τουτον ανηκουσι τα πρωτοτοκια.	17 On the contrary, he shall recognize as his first-born the son of her whom he dislikes, giving him a double share of whatever he happens to own, since he is the first fruits of his manhood, and to him belong the rights of the first-born.
18 Εαν τις εχη υιον πεισματωδη και απειθη, οστις δεν υπακουει εις την φωνην του πατρος αυτου η εις την φωνην της μητρος αυτου, και, αφου παιδευσωσιν αυτον, δεν υπακουη εις αυτους,	18 "If a man has a stubborn and unruly son who will not listen to his father or mother, and will not obey them even though they chastise him,
19 τοτε ο πατηρ αυτου και η μητηρ αυτου θελουσι πιασει αυτον, και θελουσιν εκφερει αυτον προς τους πρεσβυτερους της πολεως αυτου και εις την πυλην του τοπου αυτου?	19 his father and mother shall have him apprehended and brought out to the elders at the gate of his home city,
20 και θελουσιν ειπει προς τους πρεσβυτερους της πολεως αυτου, Ουτος ο υιος ημων ειναι πεισματωδης και απειθης? δεν υπακουει εις την φωνην ημων? ειναι λαιμαργος και μεθυσος?	20 where they shall say to those city elders, 'This son of ours is a stubborn and unruly fellow who will not listen to us; he is a glutton and a drunkard.'
21 και παντες οι ανθρωποι της πολεως αυτου θελουσι λιθοβολησει αυτον με λιθους, και θελει αποθανει. Και θελεις εξαφανισει το κακον εκ μεσου σου? και πας ο Ισραηλ θελει ακουσει και φοβηθη.	21 Then all his fellow citizens shall stone him to death. Thus shall you purge the evil from your midst, and all Israel, on hearing of it, shall fear.
22 Και εαν τις επραξεν αμαρτημα αξιον θανατου και καταδικασθη εις θανατον, και κρεμασης αυτον εις ξυλον,	22 "If a man guilty of a capital offense is put to death and his corpse hung on a tree,
23 δεν θελει μενει το σωμα αυτου ολην την νυκτα επι του ξυλου, αλλα θελεις εξαπαντος θαψει αυτον την αυτην ημεραν, διοτι ειναι κατηραμενος υπο του Θεου ο κρεμαμενος? δια να μη μολυνης την γην σου, την οποιαν Κυριος ο Θεος σου διδει εις σε κληρονομιαν.	23 it shall not remain on the tree overnight. You shall bury it the same day; otherwise, since God's curse rests on him who hangs on a tree, you will defile the land which the LORD, your God, is giving you as an inheritance.
