ΔΕΥΤΕΡΟΝΟΜΙΟΝ - Deuteronomio - Deuteronomy 19

GREEK BIBLE	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 Αφου Κυριος ο Θεος σου αφανιση τα εθνη, των οποιων την γην διδει εις σε Κυριος ο Θεος σου, και κατακληρονομησης αυτα και κατοικησης εις τας πολεις αυτων και εις τας οικιας αυτων,	1 “When the Lord your God will have destroyed the nations, whose land he will deliver to you, and when you possess it and live in its cities and buildings,
2 θελεις χωρισει τρεις πολεις εις σεαυτον εν τω μεσω της γης σου, την οποιαν Κυριος ο Θεος σου διδει εις σε να κληρονομησης αυτην.	2 you shall separate for yourselves three cities in the midst of the land, which the Lord will give to you as a possession,
3 Θελεις ετοιμασει εις σεαυτον την οδον? και θελεις διαιρεσει εις τρια τα ορια της γης σου, την οποιαν διδει εις σε Κυριος ο Θεος σου να κληρονομησης, δια να φευγη εκει πας φονευς.	3 paving the road carefully. And you shall divide the entire province of your land equally into three parts, so that he who is forced to flee because of manslaughter may have a place nearby to which he may be able to escape.
4 Και αυτη ειναι η διαταξις περι του φονεως, οστις φυγη εκει, δια να ζηση? Οστις κτυπηση τον πλησιον αυτου εξ αγνοιας, τον οποιον προτερον δεν εμισει,	4 This shall be the law of the killer who flees, whose life is to be saved. Whoever strikes down his neighbor unwillingly, and who has been proven to have had no hatred against him yesterday and the day before,
5 καθως οταν υπαγη τις μετα του πλησιον αυτου εις το δασος δια να κοψη ξυλα, και ενω η χειρ αυτου καταβιβαζη κτυπημα με τον πελεκυν δια να κοψη το δενδρον, εκβη το σιδηριον απο του ξυλου και τυχη τον πλησιον αυτου και αυτος αποθανη, ουτος θελει φυγει εις μιαν εκ των πολεων εκεινων και θελει ζησει?	5 such that he had gone with him into the forest simply to cut wood, and in cutting down the tree, the axe slipped from his hand, or the iron slipped from the handle, and it struck his friend and killed him: he shall flee to one of the cities stated above, and he shall live.
6 μηποτε καταδιωξη τον φονεα ο εκδικητης του αιματος, ενω ειναι εις εξαψιν η καρδια αυτου, και προφθαση αυτον, εαν η οδος ηναι μακρα, και φονευση αυτον, καιτοι μη οντα αξιον θανατου, επειδη δεν εμισει αυτον προτερον.	6 Otherwise, perhaps the near relative of him whose blood was shed, impelled by his grief, might pursue and apprehend him, unless the way is too long, and he might strike down the life of him who is not guilty unto death, since he had demonstrated that he had no prior hatred against him who was slain.
7 Δια τουτο εγω προσταζω εις σε λεγων, Τρεις πολεις θελεις χωρισει εις σεαυτον.	7 For this reason, I instruct you to separate three cities at equal distance from one another.
8 Και εαν Κυριος ο Θεος σου πλατυνη τα ορια σου, καθως ωμοσε προς τους πατερας σου, και δωση εις σε πασαν την γην, την οποιαν υπεσχεθη να δωση εις τους πατερας σου,	8 And when the Lord your God will have enlarged your borders, just as he swore to your fathers, and when he will have given to you all the land that he has promised to them,
9 εαν φυλαττης πασας τας εντολας ταυτας, ωστε να εκτελης αυτας, τας οποιας εγω προσταζω εις σε σημερον, να αγαπας Κυριον τον Θεον σου και να περιπατης παντοτε εις τας οδους αυτου, τοτε θελεις προσθεσει εις σεαυτον ετι τρεις πολεις προς τας τρεις εκεινας?	9 (but this is only so if you will keep his commandments and do the things which I instruct to you this day, so that you love the Lord your God, and walk in his ways at all times) you shall add for yourselves three other cities, and so you shall double the number of the three cities stated above.
10 δια να μη χυθη αιμα αθωον εν μεσω της γης σου, την οποιαν Κυριος ο Θεος σου διδει εις σε κληρονομιαν, και να ηναι αιμα επανω σου.	10 So may innocent blood not be shed in the midst of the land which the Lord your God will give you to possess, lest you be guilty of blood.
11 Εαν δε τις εχη μισος κατα του πλησιον αυτου, και παραμονευσας αυτον εφορμηση επ' αυτον και παταξη αυτον, και αποθανη, και φυγη εις μιαν των πολεων τουτων,	11 But if anyone, having hatred for his neighbor, will have lain in ambush for his life, and, rising up, will have struck him, and he will have died, and if he will have fled to one of the cities stated above,
12 τοτε θελουσιν αποστειλει οι πρεσβυτεροι της πολεως αυτου και θελουσι λαβει αυτον εκειθεν, και θελουσι παραδωσει αυτον εις την χειρα του εκδικητου του αιματος, δια να αποθανη.	12 the elders of his city shall send, and they shall take him from the place of refuge, and they shall deliver him into the hand of the relative of him whose blood was shed, and he shall die.
13 Ο οφθαλμος σου δεν θελει φεισθη αυτον, αλλα θελεις εξαλειψει απο του Ισραηλ το αθωον αιμα, δια να ευημερης.	13 You shall not take pity on him, and so shall you take away the blood of the innocent from Israel, so that it may be well with you.
14 Δεν θελεις μετακινησει τα ορια του πλησιον σου, οσα οι πατερες σου εστησαν εις την κληρονομιαν σου, την οποιαν θελεις κατακληρονομησει, εν τη γη την οποιαν Κυριος ο Θεος σου διδει εις σε δια να κατακληρονομησης αυτην.	14 You shall not take up or move the landmark of your neighbor, which those before you have placed, in your possession that the Lord your God will give to you, in the land you will receive to possess.
15 Εις μαρτυς δεν θελει σηκωθη εναντιον τινος ανθρωπου, δι' οποιανδηποτε ανομιαν η δι' οποιονδηποτε αμαρτημα, ο, τι αμαρτημα αμαρτηση? επι στοματος δυο μαρτυρων η επι στοματος τριων μαρτυρων θελει βεβαιουσθαι πας λογος.	15 One witness shall not stand against another, no matter what the sin or outrage may be. For every word shall stand by the mouth of two or three witnesses.
16 Εαν ψευδης μαρτυς σηκωθη εναντιον ανθρωπου, δια να μαρτυρηση κατ' αυτου αδικως,	16 If a lying witness will have stood against a man, accusing him of a transgression,
17 τοτε και οι δυο ανθρωποι, μεταξυ των οποιων ειναι η διαφορα, θελουσι σταθη ενωπιον του Κυριου, ενωπιον των ιερεων και των κριτων των οντων κατ' εκεινας τας ημερας?	17 both of those whose case it is shall stand before the Lord in the sight of the priests and the judges who shall be in those days.
18 και οι κριται θελουσιν εξετασει ακριβως, και ιδου, εαν ο μαρτυς ηναι ψευδομαρτυς και εμαρτυρησε ψευδως κατα του αδελφου αυτου,	18 And when, after a very diligent examination, they will have found that the false witness had told a lie against his brother,
19 τοτε θελετε καμει εις αυτον, καθως αυτος εστοχασθη να καμη εις τον αδελφον αυτου? και θελεις εκβαλει το κακον εκ μεσου σου.	19 they shall render to him just as he intended to do to his brother. And so shall you take away the evil from your midst.
20 Και οι λοιποι θελουσιν ακουσει και φοβηθη, και δεν θελουσιν εις το εξης πραξει τοιουτον κακον εν μεσω σου.	20 Then the others, upon hearing this, will be afraid, and they will by no means dare to do such things.
21 Και ο οφθαλμος σου δεν θελει φεισθη? θελει δοθη ζωη αντι ζωης, οφθαλμος αντι οφθαλμου, οδους αντι οδοντος, χειρ αντι χειρος, πους αντι ποδος.	21 You shall not take pity on him. Instead, you shall require a life for a life, an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth, a hand for a hand, a foot for a foot.”
