Deuteronomy 4

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	LXX
1 “And now, O Israel, listen to the precepts and judgments which I am teaching to you, so that, by doing these, you may live, and you may enter and possess the land, which the Lord, the God of your fathers, will give to 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 You shall not add to the word which I speak to you, neither shall you take away from it. Preserve the commandments of the Lord your God which I am teaching to you.	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 Your eyes have seen all that the Lord has done against Baal-peor, in what manner he has crushed all of his worshippers from among you.	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 adhere to the Lord your God are all still alive, to the present day.	4 υμεις δε οι προσκειμενοι κυριω τω θεω υμων ζητε παντες εν τη σημερον
5 You know that I have taught you precepts as well as justices, just as the Lord my God has commanded me. And so shall you do in the land that you will possess.	5 ιδετε δεδειχα υμιν δικαιωματα και κρισεις καθα ενετειλατο μοι κυριος ποιησαι ουτως εν τη γη εις ην υμεις εισπορευεσθε εκει κληρονομειν αυτην
6 And you shall observe and fulfill these in practice. For this is your wisdom and understanding in the sight of the peoples, so that, upon hearing all these precepts, they may say: ‘Lo, a wise and understanding people, a great nation.’	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 Neither is there any other nation so great, which has its gods so near to them, as our God is present to all our petitions.	7 οτι ποιον εθνος μεγα ω εστιν αυτω θεος εγγιζων αυτοις ως κυριος ο θεος ημων εν πασιν οις εαν αυτον επικαλεσωμεθα
8 For what other nation is there so renowned as to have ceremonies, and just judgments, and the entire law that I will set forth today before your eyes?	8 και ποιον εθνος μεγα ω εστιν αυτω δικαιωματα και κριματα δικαια κατα παντα τον νομον τουτον ον εγω διδωμι ενωπιον υμων σημερον
9 And so, guard yourself and your soul carefully. You should not forget the words that your eyes have seen, and do not let them be cut away from your heart, throughout all the days of your life. You shall teach them to your sons and to your grandsons,	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 from the day on which you stood before the Lord your God at Horeb, when the Lord spoke to me, saying: ‘Gather the people to me, so that they may listen to my words, and may learn to fear me, throughout all the time that they are alive on earth, and so that they may 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 And you approached the base of the mountain, which was burning even toward heaven. And there was a darkness upon it, and a cloud, and a mist.	11 και προσηλθετε και εστητε υπο το ορος και το ορος εκαιετο πυρι εως του ουρανου σκοτος γνοφος θυελλα φωνη μεγαλη
12 And the Lord spoke to you from the midst of fire. You heard the voice of his words, but you did not see any form at all.	12 και ελαλησεν κυριος προς υμας εκ μεσου του πυρος φωνην ρηματων υμεις ηκουσατε και ομοιωμα ουκ ειδετε αλλ' η φωνην
13 And he revealed his covenant to you, which he instructed you to carry out, and the ten words 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 And he commanded me, at that time, that I should teach you the ceremonies and judgments which you must carry out, in the land that you shall possess.	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 And so, guard your souls carefully. You saw no likeness on the day that the Lord God spoke to you on Horeb from the midst of fire.	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 Otherwise, perhaps being deceived, you might have made a graven image, or an image of male or female,	16 μη ανομησητε και ποιησητε υμιν εαυτοις γλυπτον ομοιωμα πασαν εικονα ομοιωμα αρσενικου η θηλυκου
17 a likeness of any of the beasts, which are upon the earth, or of birds, which fly under heaven,	17 ομοιωμα παντος κτηνους των οντων επι της γης ομοιωμα παντος ορνεου πτερωτου ο πεταται υπο τον ουρανον
18 or of reptiles, which move across the earth, or of fish, which abide 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 Otherwise, perhaps lifting up your eyes to heaven, you might look upon the sun and the moon and all the stars of heaven, and being deceived by error, you might adore and worship these things, which the Lord your God created for the service of all the nations, which are under heaven.	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 the Lord has taken you up, and led you away from the iron furnaces of Egypt, in order to have a people of inheritance, just as it is to the present day.	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 And the Lord became angry against me because of your words, and he swore that I would not cross over the Jordan, nor enter into the excellent land, which he will give to you.	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 Behold, I shall die on this soil. I shall not cross over the Jordan. You shall cross it, and you shall possess the singular 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 Be careful, lest you at sometime forget the covenant of the Lord your God, which he has formed with you, and lest you make for yourselves a graven likeness of those things which the Lord has prohibited to be made.	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 will have conceived sons and grandsons while abiding in the land, and if, having been deceived, you make for yourselves any likeness, accomplishing evil in the sight of the Lord your God, so as to provoke him to wrath,	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 as witnesses this day, that you shall quickly perish from the land, which, when you have crossed over the Jordan, you will possess. You will not live in it for a long time; instead, the Lord will destroy you.	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 And he will scatter you among all the nations, and few of you will remain among those 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 And there, you will serve gods which were fabricated by the hands of men: gods of wood and of stone, who neither see, nor hear, nor 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 And when you will seek the Lord your God in that place, you shall find him, if only you seek him with all your heart, and in all the tribulation of your 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 After all these things which have been foretold have found you, in the end time, you shall return to the Lord your God, and you will hear 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 For the Lord your God is a merciful God. He will not abandon you, nor will he entirely destroy you, nor will he forget the covenant, which he swore to 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 Inquire concerning the days of antiquity, which were before you, from the day when God created man upon the earth, from one end of heaven to another, if anything similar has ever occurred, or whether any such thing has ever been known,	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 that a people would hear the voice of God, speaking from the midst of fire, just as you have heard it, and live,	33 ει ακηκοεν εθνος φωνην θεου ζωντος λαλουντος εκ μεσου του πυρος ον τροπον ακηκοας συ και εζησας
34 whether God has acted so as to enter and take for himself a nation from the midst of the nations, by means of tests, signs, and wonders, by means of fighting, and a strong hand, and an outstretched arm, and terrible visions, in accord with all the things which the Lord your God has accomplished for you in Egypt, in the sight of your 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 So may you know that the Lord himself is God, and there is no other beside him.	35 ωστε ειδησαι σε οτι κυριος ο θεος σου ουτος θεος εστιν και ουκ εστιν ετι πλην αυτου
36 He has caused you to hear his voice from heaven, so that he might teach you. And he showed you his exceedingly great fire on earth, and you heard his words from the midst 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 he loved your fathers, and he chose their offspring after them. And he led you away from Egypt, advancing before you with 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 so as to wipe away, upon your arrival, nations, very great and stronger than you, and so as to lead you in, and to present to you their land as a possession, just as you discern in the present day.	38 εξολεθρευσαι εθνη μεγαλα και ισχυροτερα σου προ προσωπου σου εισαγαγειν σε δουναι σοι την γην αυτων κληρονομειν καθως εχεις σημερον
39 Therefore, know on this day and consider in your heart, that the Lord himself is God in heaven above, and on earth below, and 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 Keep his precepts and commandments, which I am teaching to you, so that it may be well with you, and with your sons after you, and so that you may remain for a long time upon the land, which the Lord your God will give to you.”	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 aside three cities, across the Jordan toward the eastern region,	41 τοτε αφωρισεν μωυσης τρεις πολεις περαν του ιορδανου απο ανατολων ηλιου
42 so that anyone might flee to these if he has killed his neighbor unwillingly, who was not his enemy a day or two earlier, and so that he would be able to escape 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 wilderness, which is situated in the plains of the tribe of Ruben; and Ramoth in Gilead, which is in the tribe of Gad; and Golan in Bashan, which is in the tribe of Manasseh.	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 forth before the sons of Israel.	44 ουτος ο νομος ον παρεθετο μωυσης ενωπιον υιων ισραηλ
45 And these are the testimonies and ceremonies as well as judgments, which he spoke to the sons of Israel, when they departed from 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 across the Jordan, in the valley opposite the shrine of Peor, in the land of Sihon, the king of the Amorites, who lived at Heshbon, whom Moses struck down. Accordingly, the sons of Israel, having departed from 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 possessed his land, and the land of Og, the king of Bashan, the land of the two kings of the Amorites, who were beyond the Jordan, toward the rising of the sun:	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, which is situated above the bank of the torrent Arnon, as far as Mount Zion, which is also called Hermon,	48 απο αροηρ η εστιν επι του χειλους χειμαρρου αρνων και επι του ορους του σηων ο εστιν αερμων
49 the entire plain across the Jordan, from its eastern region, as far as the sea of the wilderness, and even to the base of Mount Pisgah.	49 πασαν την αραβα περαν του ιορδανου κατ' ανατολας ηλιου υπο ασηδωθ την λαξευτην
