GREEK BIBLE	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
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 “When there will have been found in the land, which the Lord your God will give to you, the corpse of a man who has been killed, and it is not known who is guilty of the murder,
2 τοτε θελουσιν εξελθει οι πρεσβυτεροι σου και οι κριται σου, και θελουσι μετρησει προς τας πολεις τας περιξ του πεφονευμενου?	2 your judges and those greater by birth shall go out and measure, from the place of the corpse, the distance to each of the surrounding cities.
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 And in whichever one they perceive to be closer than the others, the elders shall take a calf from the herd, one which has not pulled with a yoke, nor tilled with a plow.
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 they shall lead it into a rough and stony valley, one which has never been tilled or sown. And in that place, they shall cut the neck of the calf.
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 And the priests the sons of Levi shall approach, those whom the Lord your God has chosen to minister to him, and to bless in his name, and to decide every controversy by their word, and to judge which things are clean and which are unclean.
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 And those greater by birth of that city, nearest to the one who was slain, shall go and shall wash their hands over the calf that was killed in the valley.
7 και αποκριθεντες θελουσιν ειπει, Αι χειρες ημων δεν εχυσαν το αιμα τουτο, ουδε ειδον οι οφθαλμοι ημων?	7 And they shall say: ‘Our hands did not shed this blood, nor did our eyes see it.
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 Be merciful to your people Israel, whom you have redeemed, O Lord, and do not charge them with innocent blood in the midst of your people Israel.’ And so the guilt of the blood will be taken away from them.
9 Ουτω θελεις εξαλειψει εκ μεσου σου το αθωον αιμα, οταν καμης το αρεστον εις τους οφθαλμους του Κυριου.	9 Then you will be free from the blood that was shed against the innocent, when you will have done as the Lord has instructed you.
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 If you have gone out to fight against your enemies, and the Lord your God has delivered them into your hand, and if, as you are leading away the captives,
11 και ιδης μεταξυ των αιχμαλωτων γυναικα ευειδη και επιθυμησης αυτην, δια να λαβης αυτην εις σεαυτον γυναικα,	11 you see among the number of the captives a beautiful woman, and you love her, and you are willing to have her as a wife:
12 τοτε θελεις φερει αυτην εις την οικιαν σου, και θελει ξυρισει την κεφαλην αυτης και περιονυχισει τους ονυχας αυτης?	12 then you shall lead her into your house. And she shall shave off her hair, and cut her nails short,
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 remove the garment in which she was captured. And she shall sit in your house and weep for her father and mother, for one month. And after that, you shall enter to her and sleep with her, 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 But if afterwards she does not sit well in your mind, you shall set her free. You cannot sell her for money, nor can you oppress her by force. For you have humiliated her.
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 has two wives, one beloved and the other hated, and they have produced children by him, and if the son of the hated wife is the firstborn,
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 and if he wishes to divide his substance among his sons: he cannot make the son of the beloved wife the firstborn, and so prefer him before the son of the hated wife.
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 Instead, he shall acknowledge the son of the hated wife as the firstborn, and he shall give to him a double portion of all that he has. For he is the first among his children, and the rights of the firstborn are owed to him.
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 produces a disobedient and reckless son, who will not listen to the orders of his father or mother, and, having been corrected, shows contempt for obedience:
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 they shall take him and lead him to the elders of the city and to the gate of judgment.
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 And they shall say to them: ‘This our son is reckless and disobedient. He shows contempt when listening to our admonitions. He occupies himself with carousing, and self-indulgence, and feasting.’
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 the people of the city shall stone him to death. And he shall die, so that you may take away the evil from your midst. And so may all of Israel, upon hearing it, be very afraid.
22 Και εαν τις επραξεν αμαρτημα αξιον θανατου και καταδικασθη εις θανατον, και κρεμασης αυτον εις ξυλον,	22 When a man will have sinned in a matter which is punished by death, and, having been judged unto death, he has been hanged on a gallows:
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 his corpse shall not remain on the tree. Instead, he shall be buried on the same day. For he who hangs from a tree has been cursed by God, and you shall not defile your land, which the Lord your God will give to you as a possession.”
