Deuteronomy 4

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	LXX
1 "Now, Israel, hear the statutes and decrees which I am teaching you to observe, that you may live, and may enter in and take possession of the land which the LORD, the God of your fathers, is giving you.	1 και νυν ισραηλ ακουε των δικαιωματων και των κριματων οσα εγω διδασκω υμας σημερον ποιειν ινα ζητε και πολυπλασιασθητε και εισελθοντες κληρονομησητε την γην ην κυριος ο θεος των πατερων υμων διδωσιν υμιν
2 In your observance of the commandments of the LORD, your God, which I enjoin upon you, you shall not add to what I command you nor subtract from it.	2 ου προσθησετε προς το ρημα ο εγω εντελλομαι υμιν και ουκ αφελειτε απ' αυτου φυλασσεσθε τας εντολας κυριου του θεου υμων οσα εγω εντελλομαι υμιν σημερον
3 You have seen with your own eyes what the LORD did at Baal-peor: the LORD, your God, destroyed from your midst everyone that followed the Baal of Peor;	3 οι οφθαλμοι υμων εωρακασιν παντα οσα εποιησεν κυριος ο θεος ημων τω βεελφεγωρ οτι πας ανθρωπος οστις επορευθη οπισω βεελφεγωρ εξετριψεν αυτον κυριος ο θεος υμων εξ υμων
4 but you, who clung to the LORD, your God, are all alive today.	4 υμεις δε οι προσκειμενοι κυριω τω θεω υμων ζητε παντες εν τη σημερον
5 Therefore, I teach you the statutes and decrees as the LORD, my God, has commanded me, that you may observe them in the land you are entering to occupy.	5 ιδετε δεδειχα υμιν δικαιωματα και κρισεις καθα ενετειλατο μοι κυριος ποιησαι ουτως εν τη γη εις ην υμεις εισπορευεσθε εκει κληρονομειν αυτην
6 Observe them carefully, for thus will you give evidence of your wisdom and intelligence to the nations, who will hear of all these statutes and say, 'This great nation is truly a wise and intelligent people.'	6 και φυλαξεσθε και ποιησετε οτι αυτη η σοφια υμων και η συνεσις εναντιον παντων των εθνων οσοι εαν ακουσωσιν παντα τα δικαιωματα ταυτα και ερουσιν ιδου λαος σοφος και επιστημων το εθνος το μεγα τουτο
7 For what great nation is there that has gods so close to it as the LORD, our God, is to us whenever we call upon him?	7 οτι ποιον εθνος μεγα ω εστιν αυτω θεος εγγιζων αυτοις ως κυριος ο θεος ημων εν πασιν οις εαν αυτον επικαλεσωμεθα
8 Or what great nation has statutes and decrees that are as just as this whole law which I am setting before you today?	8 και ποιον εθνος μεγα ω εστιν αυτω δικαιωματα και κριματα δικαια κατα παντα τον νομον τουτον ον εγω διδωμι ενωπιον υμων σημερον
9 "However, take care and be earnestly on your guard not to forget the things which your own eyes have seen, nor let them slip from your memory as long as you live, but teach them to your children and to your children's children.	9 προσεχε σεαυτω και φυλαξον την ψυχην σου σφοδρα μη επιλαθη παντας τους λογους ους εωρακασιν οι οφθαλμοι σου και μη αποστητωσαν απο της καρδιας σου πασας τας ημερας της ζωης σου και συμβιβασεις τους υιους σου και τους υιους των υιων σου
10 There was the day on which you stood before the LORD, your God, at Horeb, and he said to me, 'Assemble the people for me; I will have them hear my words, that they may learn to fear me as long as they live in the land and may so teach their children.'	10 ημεραν ην εστητε εναντιον κυριου του θεου υμων εν χωρηβ τη ημερα της εκκλησιας οτε ειπεν κυριος προς με εκκλησιασον προς με τον λαον και ακουσατωσαν τα ρηματα μου οπως μαθωσιν φοβεισθαι με πασας τας ημερας ας αυτοι ζωσιν επι της γης και τους υιους αυτων διδαξωσιν
11 You came near and stood at the foot of the mountain, which blazed to the very sky with fire and was enveloped in a dense black cloud.	11 και προσηλθετε και εστητε υπο το ορος και το ορος εκαιετο πυρι εως του ουρανου σκοτος γνοφος θυελλα φωνη μεγαλη
12 Then the LORD spoke to you from the midst of the fire. You heard the sound of the words, but saw no form; there was only a voice.	12 και ελαλησεν κυριος προς υμας εκ μεσου του πυρος φωνην ρηματων υμεις ηκουσατε και ομοιωμα ουκ ειδετε αλλ' η φωνην
13 He proclaimed to you his covenant, which he commanded you to keep: the ten commandments, which he wrote on two tablets of stone.	13 και ανηγγειλεν υμιν την διαθηκην αυτου ην ενετειλατο υμιν ποιειν τα δεκα ρηματα και εγραψεν αυτα επι δυο πλακας λιθινας
14 The LORD charged me at that time to teach you the statutes and decrees which you are to observe over in the land you will occupy.	14 και εμοι ενετειλατο κυριος εν τω καιρω εκεινω διδαξαι υμας δικαιωματα και κρισεις ποιειν αυτα υμας επι της γης εις ην υμεις εισπορευεσθε εκει κληρονομειν αυτην
15 "You saw no form at all on the day the LORD spoke to you at Horeb from the midst of the fire. Be strictly on your guard, therefore,	15 και φυλαξεσθε σφοδρα τας ψυχας υμων οτι ουκ ειδετε ομοιωμα εν τη ημερα η ελαλησεν κυριος προς υμας εν χωρηβ εν τω ορει εκ μεσου του πυρος
16 not to degrade yourselves by fashioning an idol to represent any figure, whether it be the form of a man or a woman,	16 μη ανομησητε και ποιησητε υμιν εαυτοις γλυπτον ομοιωμα πασαν εικονα ομοιωμα αρσενικου η θηλυκου
17 of any animal on the earth or of any bird that flies in the sky,	17 ομοιωμα παντος κτηνους των οντων επι της γης ομοιωμα παντος ορνεου πτερωτου ο πεταται υπο τον ουρανον
18 of anything that crawls on the ground or of any fish in the waters under the earth.	18 ομοιωμα παντος ερπετου ο ερπει επι της γης ομοιωμα παντος ιχθυος οσα εστιν εν τοις υδασιν υποκατω της γης
19 And when you look up to the heavens and behold the sun or the moon or any star among the heavenly hosts, do not be led astray into adoring them and serving them. These the LORD, your God, has let fall to the lot of all other nations under the heavens;	19 και μη αναβλεψας εις τον ουρανον και ιδων τον ηλιον και την σεληνην και τους αστερας και παντα τον κοσμον του ουρανου πλανηθεις προσκυνησης αυτοις και λατρευσης αυτοις α απενειμεν κυριος ο θεος σου αυτα πασιν τοις εθνεσιν τοις υποκατω του ουρανου
20 but you he has taken and led out of that iron foundry, Egypt, that you might be his very own people, as you are today.	20 υμας δε ελαβεν ο θεος και εξηγαγεν υμας εκ της καμινου της σιδηρας εξ αιγυπτου ειναι αυτω λαον εγκληρον ως εν τη ημερα ταυτη
21 Since the LORD was angered against me on your account and swore that I should not cross the Jordan nor enter the good land which he is giving you as a heritage,	21 και κυριος εθυμωθη μοι περι των λεγομενων υφ' υμων και ωμοσεν ινα μη διαβω τον ιορδανην τουτον και ινα μη εισελθω εις την γην ην κυριος ο θεος διδωσιν σοι εν κληρω
22 I myself shall die in this country without crossing the Jordan; but you will cross over and take possession of that good land.	22 εγω γαρ αποθνησκω εν τη γη ταυτη και ου διαβαινω τον ιορδανην τουτον υμεις δε διαβαινετε και κληρονομησετε την γην την αγαθην ταυτην
23 Take heed, therefore, lest, forgetting the covenant which the LORD, your God, has made with you, you fashion for yourselves against his command an idol in any form whatsoever.	23 προσεχετε υμεις μη επιλαθησθε την διαθηκην κυριου του θεου υμων ην διεθετο προς υμας και ποιησητε υμιν εαυτοις γλυπτον ομοιωμα παντων ων συνεταξεν κυριος ο θεος σου
24 For the LORD, your God, is a consuming fire, a jealous God.	24 οτι κυριος ο θεος σου πυρ καταναλισκον εστιν θεος ζηλωτης
25 "When you have children and grandchildren, and have grown old in the land, should you then degrade yourselves by fashioning an idol in any form and by this evil done in his sight provoke the LORD, your God,	25 εαν δε γεννησης υιους και υιους των υιων σου και χρονισητε επι της γης και ανομησητε και ποιησητε γλυπτον ομοιωμα παντος και ποιησητε τα πονηρα εναντιον κυριου του θεου υμων παροργισαι αυτον
26 I call heaven and earth this day to witness against you, that you shall all quickly perish from the land which you will occupy when you cross the Jordan. You shall not live in it for any length of time but shall be promptly wiped out.	26 διαμαρτυρομαι υμιν σημερον τον τε ουρανον και την γην οτι απωλεια απολεισθε απο της γης εις ην υμεις διαβαινετε τον ιορδανην εκει κληρονομησαι αυτην ουχι πολυχρονιειτε ημερας επ' αυτης αλλ' η εκτριβη εκτριβησεσθε
27 The LORD will scatter you among the nations, and there shall remain but a handful of you among the nations to which the LORD will lead you.	27 και διασπερει κυριος υμας εν πασιν τοις εθνεσιν και καταλειφθησεσθε ολιγοι αριθμω εν τοις εθνεσιν εις ους εισαξει κυριος υμας εκει
28 There you shall serve gods fashioned by the hands of man out of wood and stone, gods which can neither see nor hear, neither eat nor smell.	28 και λατρευσετε εκει θεοις ετεροις εργοις χειρων ανθρωπων ξυλοις και λιθοις οι ουκ οψονται ουδε μη ακουσωσιν ουτε μη φαγωσιν ουτε μη οσφρανθωσιν
29 Yet there too you shall seek the LORD, your God; and you shall indeed find him when you search after him with your whole heart and your whole soul.	29 και ζητησετε εκει κυριον τον θεον υμων και ευρησετε οταν εκζητησητε αυτον εξ ολης της καρδιας σου και εξ ολης της ψυχης σου εν τη θλιψει σου
30 In your distress, when all these things shall have come upon you, you shall finally return to the LORD, your God, and heed his voice.	30 και ευρησουσιν σε παντες οι λογοι ουτοι επ' εσχατω των ημερων και επιστραφηση προς κυριον τον θεον σου και εισακουση της φωνης αυτου
31 Since the LORD, your God, is a merciful God, he will not abandon and destroy you, nor forget the covenant which under oath he made with your fathers.	31 οτι θεος οικτιρμων κυριος ο θεος σου ουκ εγκαταλειψει σε ουδε μη εκτριψει σε ουκ επιλησεται την διαθηκην των πατερων σου ην ωμοσεν αυτοις
32 "Ask now of the days of old, before your time, ever since God created man upon the earth; ask from one end of the sky to the other: Did anything so great ever happen before? Was it ever heard of?	32 επερωτησατε ημερας προτερας τας γενομενας προτερας σου απο της ημερας ης εκτισεν ο θεος ανθρωπον επι της γης και επι το ακρον του ουρανου εως ακρου του ουρανου ει γεγονεν κατα το ρημα το μεγα τουτο ει ηκουσται τοιουτο
33 Did a people ever hear the voice of God speaking from the midst of fire, as you did, and live?	33 ει ακηκοεν εθνος φωνην θεου ζωντος λαλουντος εκ μεσου του πυρος ον τροπον ακηκοας συ και εζησας
34 Or did any god venture to go and take a nation for himself from the midst of another nation, by testings, by signs and wonders, by war, with his strong hand and outstretched arm, and by great terrors, all of which the LORD, your God, did for you in Egypt before your very eyes?	34 ει επειρασεν ο θεος εισελθων λαβειν εαυτω εθνος εκ μεσου εθνους εν πειρασμω και εν σημειοις και εν τερασιν και εν πολεμω και εν χειρι κραταια και εν βραχιονι υψηλω και εν οραμασιν μεγαλοις κατα παντα οσα εποιησεν κυριος ο θεος ημων εν αιγυπτω ενωπιον σου βλεποντος
35 All this you were allowed to see that you might know the LORD is God and there is no other.	35 ωστε ειδησαι σε οτι κυριος ο θεος σου ουτος θεος εστιν και ουκ εστιν ετι πλην αυτου
36 Out of the heavens he let you hear his voice to discipline you; on earth he let you see his great fire, and you heard him speaking out of the fire.	36 εκ του ουρανου ακουστη εγενετο η φωνη αυτου παιδευσαι σε και επι της γης εδειξεν σοι το πυρ αυτου το μεγα και τα ρηματα αυτου ηκουσας εκ μεσου του πυρος
37 For love of your fathers he chose their descendants and personally led you out of Egypt by his great power,	37 δια το αγαπησαι αυτον τους πατερας σου και εξελεξατο το σπερμα αυτων μετ' αυτους υμας και εξηγαγεν σε αυτος εν τη ισχυι αυτου τη μεγαλη εξ αιγυπτου
38 driving out of your way nations greater and mightier than you, so as to bring you in and to make their land your heritage, as it is today.	38 εξολεθρευσαι εθνη μεγαλα και ισχυροτερα σου προ προσωπου σου εισαγαγειν σε δουναι σοι την γην αυτων κληρονομειν καθως εχεις σημερον
39 This is why you must now know, and fix in your heart, that the LORD is God in the heavens above and on earth below, and that there is no other.	39 και γνωση σημερον και επιστραφηση τη διανοια οτι κυριος ο θεος σου ουτος θεος εν τω ουρανω ανω και επι της γης κατω και ουκ εστιν ετι πλην αυτου
40 You must keep his statutes and commandments which I enjoin on you today, that you and your children after you may prosper, and that you may have long life on the land which the LORD, your God, is giving you forever."	40 και φυλαξη τα δικαιωματα αυτου και τας εντολας αυτου οσας εγω εντελλομαι σοι σημερον ινα ευ σοι γενηται και τοις υιοις σου μετα σε οπως μακροημεροι γενησθε επι της γης ης κυριος ο θεος σου διδωσιν σοι πασας τας ημερας
41 Then Moses set apart three cities in the region east of the Jordan,	41 τοτε αφωρισεν μωυσης τρεις πολεις περαν του ιορδανου απο ανατολων ηλιου
42 that a homicide might take refuge there if he unwittingly killed his neighbor to whom he had previously borne no malice, and that he might save his life by fleeing to one of these cities:	42 φυγειν εκει τον φονευτην ος αν φονευση τον πλησιον ουκ ειδως και ουτος ου μισων αυτον προ της εχθες και τριτης και καταφευξεται εις μιαν των πολεων τουτων και ζησεται
43 Bezer in the desert, in the region of the plateau, for the Reubenites; Ramoth in Gilead for the Gadites; and Golan in Bashan for the Manassehites.	43 την βοσορ εν τη ερημω εν τη γη τη πεδινη τω ρουβην και την ραμωθ εν γαλααδ τω γαδδι και την γαυλων εν βασαν τω μανασση
44 This is the law which Moses set before the Israelites.	44 ουτος ο νομος ον παρεθετο μωυσης ενωπιον υιων ισραηλ
45 These are the ordinances, statutes and decrees which he proclaimed to them when they had come out of Egypt	45 ταυτα τα μαρτυρια και τα δικαιωματα και τα κριματα οσα ελαλησεν μωυσης τοις υιοις ισραηλ εν τη ερημω εξελθοντων αυτων εκ γης αιγυπτου
46 and were beyond the Jordan in the ravine opposite Beth-peor, in the land of Sihon, king of the Amorites, who dwelt in Heshbon and whom Moses and the Israelites defeated after coming out of Egypt.	46 εν τω περαν του ιορδανου εν φαραγγι εγγυς οικου φογωρ εν γη σηων βασιλεως των αμορραιων ος κατωκει εν εσεβων ους επαταξεν μωυσης και οι υιοι ισραηλ εξελθοντων αυτων εκ γης αιγυπτου
47 They occupied his land and the land of Og, king of Bashan, as well--the land of these two kings of the Amorites in the region east of the Jordan:	47 και εκληρονομησαν την γην αυτου και την γην ωγ βασιλεως της βασαν δυο βασιλεων των αμορραιων οι ησαν περαν του ιορδανου κατ' ανατολας ηλιου
48 from Aroer on the edge of the Wadi Arnon to Mount Sion (that is Hermon)	48 απο αροηρ η εστιν επι του χειλους χειμαρρου αρνων και επι του ορους του σηων ο εστιν αερμων
49 and all the Arabah east of the Jordan, as far as the Arabah Sea under the slopes of Pisgah.	49 πασαν την αραβα περαν του ιορδανου κατ' ανατολας ηλιου υπο ασηδωθ την λαξευτην
