Deuteronomy 7

NEW JERUSALEM	LXX
1 'When Yahweh your God has brought you into the country which you are going to make your own,many nations wil fal before you: Hittites, Girgashites, Amorites, Canaanites, Perizzites, Hivites and Jebusites,seven nations greater and stronger than yourselves.	1 εαν δε εισαγαγη σε κυριος ο θεος σου εις την γην εις ην εισπορευη εκει κληρονομησαι και εξαρει εθνη μεγαλα απο προσωπου σου τον χετταιον και γεργεσαιον και αμορραιον και χαναναιον και φερεζαιον και ευαιον και ιεβουσαιον επτα εθνη πολλα και ισχυροτερα υμων
2 Yahweh your God will put them at your mercy and you will conquer them. You must put them under thecurse of destruction. You must not make any treaty with them or show them any pity.	2 και παραδωσει αυτους κυριος ο θεος σου εις τας χειρας σου και παταξεις αυτους αφανισμω αφανιεις αυτους ου διαθηση προς αυτους διαθηκην ουδε μη ελεησητε αυτους
3 You must not intermarry with them; you must not give a daughter of yours to a son of theirs, or take adaughter of theirs for a son of yours,	3 ουδε μη γαμβρευσητε προς αυτους την θυγατερα σου ου δωσεις τω υιω αυτου και την θυγατερα αυτου ου λημψη τω υιω σου
4 for your son would be seduced from fol owing me into serving other gods; the wrath of Yahweh wouldblaze out against you and he would instantly destroy you.	4 αποστησει γαρ τον υιον σου απ' εμου και λατρευσει θεοις ετεροις και οργισθησεται θυμω κυριος εις υμας και εξολεθρευσει σε το ταχος
5 Instead, treat them like this: tear down their altars, smash their standing-stones, cut down their sacredpoles and burn their idols.	5 αλλ' ουτως ποιησετε αυτοις τους βωμους αυτων καθελειτε και τας στηλας αυτων συντριψετε και τα αλση αυτων εκκοψετε και τα γλυπτα των θεων αυτων κατακαυσετε πυρι
6 For you are a people consecrated to Yahweh your God; of al the peoples on earth, you have beenchosen by Yahweh your God to be his own people.	6 οτι λαος αγιος ει κυριω τω θεω σου και σε προειλατο κυριος ο θεος σου ειναι σε αυτω λαον περιουσιον παρα παντα τα εθνη οσα επι προσωπου της γης
7 'Yahweh set his heart on you and chose you not because you were the most numerous of al peoples --for indeed you were the smal est of al -	7 ουχ οτι πολυπληθειτε παρα παντα τα εθνη προειλατο κυριος υμας και εξελεξατο υμας υμεις γαρ εστε ολιγοστοι παρα παντα τα εθνη
8 but because he loved you and meant to keep the oath which he swore to your ancestors: that was whyYahweh brought you out with his mighty hand and redeemed you from the place of slave-labour, from the powerof Pharaoh king of Egypt.	8 αλλα παρα το αγαπαν κυριον υμας και διατηρων τον ορκον ον ωμοσεν τοις πατρασιν υμων εξηγαγεν κυριος υμας εν χειρι κραταια και εν βραχιονι υψηλω και ελυτρωσατο εξ οικου δουλειας εκ χειρος φαραω βασιλεως αιγυπτου
9 From this you can see that Yahweh your God is the true God, the faithful God who, though he is true tohis covenant and his faithful love for a thousand generations as regards those who love him and keep hiscommandments,	9 και γνωση οτι κυριος ο θεος σου ουτος θεος θεος πιστος ο φυλασσων διαθηκην και ελεος τοις αγαπωσιν αυτον και τοις φυλασσουσιν τας εντολας αυτου εις χιλιας γενεας
10 punishes in their own persons those that hate him. He destroys anyone who hates him, without delay;and it is in their own persons that he punishes them.	10 και αποδιδους τοις μισουσιν κατα προσωπον εξολεθρευσαι αυτους και ουχι βραδυνει τοις μισουσιν κατα προσωπον αποδωσει αυτοις
11 Hence, you must keep and observe the commandments, laws and customs which I am laying downfor you today.	11 και φυλαξη τας εντολας και τα δικαιωματα και τα κριματα ταυτα οσα εγω εντελλομαι σοι σημερον ποιειν
12 'Listen to these ordinances, be true to them and observe them, and in return Yahweh your God wil betrue to the covenant and love which he promised on oath to your ancestors.	12 και εσται ηνικα αν ακουσητε παντα τα δικαιωματα ταυτα και φυλαξητε και ποιησητε αυτα και διαφυλαξει κυριος ο θεος σου σοι την διαθηκην και το ελεος ο ωμοσεν τοις πατρασιν υμων
13 He wil love you and bless you and increase your numbers; he wil bless the fruit of your body and theproduce of your soil, your corn, your new wine, your oil, the issue of your cattle, the young of your flock, in thecountry which he swore to your ancestors that he would give you.	13 και αγαπησει σε και ευλογησει σε και πληθυνει σε και ευλογησει τα εκγονα της κοιλιας σου και τον καρπον της γης σου τον σιτον σου και τον οινον σου και το ελαιον σου τα βουκολια των βοων σου και τα ποιμνια των προβατων σου επι της γης ης ωμοσεν κυριος τοις πατρασιν σου δουναι σοι
14 You wil be the most blessed of al peoples. None of you, man or woman, will be sterile, no male orfemale of your beasts infertile.	14 ευλογητος εση παρα παντα τα εθνη ουκ εσται εν υμιν αγονος ουδε στειρα και εν τοις κτηνεσιν σου
15 Yahweh wil deflect al il ness from you; he wil not afflict you with those evil plagues of Egypt whichyou have known, but will inflict them on al who hate you.	15 και περιελει κυριος απο σου πασαν μαλακιαν και πασας νοσους αιγυπτου τας πονηρας ας εωρακας και οσα εγνως ουκ επιθησει επι σε και επιθησει αυτα επι παντας τους μισουντας σε
16 'So, devour all the peoples whom Yahweh your God puts at your mercy, show them no pity, do notserve their gods: or you wil be ensnared.	16 και φαγη παντα τα σκυλα των εθνων α κυριος ο θεος σου διδωσιν σοι ου φεισεται ο οφθαλμος σου επ' αυτοις και ου λατρευσεις τοις θεοις αυτων οτι σκωλον τουτο εστιν σοι
17 'You may say in your heart, "These nations outnumber me; how shal I be able to dispossess them?"	17 εαν δε λεγης εν τη διανοια σου οτι πολυ το εθνος τουτο η εγω πως δυνησομαι εξολεθρευσαι αυτους
18 Do not be afraid of them: remember how Yahweh your God treated Pharaoh and all Egypt,	18 ου φοβηθηση αυτους μνεια μνησθηση οσα εποιησεν κυριος ο θεος σου τω φαραω και πασι τοις αιγυπτιοις
19 the great ordeals that you yourselves have seen, the signs and wonders, the mighty hand andoutstretched arm with which Yahweh your God brought you out. This is how Yahweh your God will treat al thepeoples whom you fear to face.	19 τους πειρασμους τους μεγαλους ους ειδοσαν οι οφθαλμοι σου τα σημεια και τα τερατα τα μεγαλα εκεινα την χειρα την κραταιαν και τον βραχιονα τον υψηλον ως εξηγαγεν σε κυριος ο θεος σου ουτως ποιησει κυριος ο θεος ημων πασιν τοις εθνεσιν ους συ φοβη απο προσωπου αυτων
20 And what is more, Yahweh your God wil send hornets to destroy those who are left and who hidefrom you.	20 και τας σφηκιας αποστελει κυριος ο θεος σου εις αυτους εως αν εκτριβωσιν οι καταλελειμμενοι και οι κεκρυμμενοι απο σου
21 'Do not be afraid of them, for Yahweh your God is among you, a great and terrible God.	21 ου τρωθηση απο προσωπου αυτων οτι κυριος ο θεος σου εν σοι θεος μεγας και κραταιος
22 Little by little, Yahweh your God will clear away these nations before you; you cannot destroy them allat once, or wild animals wil breed and be disastrous for you.	22 και καταναλωσει κυριος ο θεος σου τα εθνη ταυτα απο προσωπου σου κατα μικρον μικρον ου δυνηση εξαναλωσαι αυτους το ταχος ινα μη γενηται η γη ερημος και πληθυνθη επι σε τα θηρια τα αγρια
23 But Yahweh your God wil put them at your mercy, and disaster after disaster wil overtake them untilthey are finally destroyed.	23 και παραδωσει αυτους κυριος ο θεος σου εις τας χειρας σου και απολεσει αυτους απωλεια μεγαλη εως αν εξολεθρευση αυτους
24 He wil put their kings at your mercy and you wil blot out their names under heaven; no one wil beable to resist you -- until you have destroyed them al .	24 και παραδωσει τους βασιλεις αυτων εις τας χειρας υμων και απολειται το ονομα αυτων εκ του τοπου εκεινου ουκ αντιστησεται ουδεις κατα προσωπον σου εως αν εξολεθρευσης αυτους
25 'You must burn the statues of their gods, not coveting the gold and silver that covers them; take it andyou wil be caught in a snare: it is detestable to Yahweh your God.	25 τα γλυπτα των θεων αυτων κατακαυσετε πυρι ουκ επιθυμησεις αργυριον ουδε χρυσιον απ' αυτων και ου λημψη σεαυτω μη πταισης δι' αυτο οτι βδελυγμα κυριω τω θεω σου εστιν
26 You must not bring any detestable thing into your house: or you, like it, wil come under the curse ofdestruction. You must regard them as unclean and loathsome, for they are under the curse of destruction.'	26 και ουκ εισοισεις βδελυγμα εις τον οικον σου και εση αναθημα ωσπερ τουτο προσοχθισματι προσοχθιεις και βδελυγματι βδελυξη οτι αναθημα εστιν
