Deuteronomy 4

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	GREEK BIBLE
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 Τωρα λοιπον ακουε, Ισραηλ, τα διαταγματα και τας κρισεις, τας οποιας εγω σας διδασκω να καμνητε, δια να ζησητε και να εισελθητε και να κληρονομησητε την γην, την οποιαν Κυριος ο Θεος των πατερων σας διδει εις εσας.
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 Δεν θελετε προσθεσει εις τον λογον τον οποιον εγω σας προσταζω, ουδε θελετε αφαιρεσει απ' αυτου? δια να φυλαττητε τας εντολας Κυριου του Θεου σας, τας οποιας εγω σας προσταζω.
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 σας ειδον τι εκαμεν ο Κυριος εξ αιτιας του Βεελ-φεγωρ? διοτι παντας τους ανθρωπους, οιτινες ηκολουθησαν τον Βεελ-φεγωρ, Κυριος ο Θεος σας εξωλοθρευσεν αυτους εκ μεσου υμων.
4 But you who adhere to the Lord your God are all still alive, to the present day.	4 Σεις δε, οιτινες εισθε προσκεκολλημενοι εις Κυριον τον Θεον σας, παντες ζητε την 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 Ιδου, εγω σας εδιδαξα διαταγματα και κρισεις, καθως προσεταξεν εις εμε Κυριος ο Θεος μου, δια να καμνητε ουτως εν τη γη, εις την οποιαν εισερχεσθε δια να κληρονομησητε 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 Φυλαττετε λοιπον και καμνετε αυτα? διοτι αυτη ειναι η σοφια σας και η συνεσις σας ενωπιον των εθνων? τα οποια θελουσιν ακουσει παντα τα διαταγματα ταυτα και θελουσιν ειπει, Ιδου, λαος σοφος και συνετος ειναι το μεγα τουτο εθνος.
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 Διοτι ποιον εθνος ειναι τοσον μεγα, εις το οποιον ο Θεος ειναι ουτω πλησιον αυτου, καθως Κυριος ο Θεος ημων ειναι εις παντα οσα επικαλουμεθα αυτον;
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 ειναι τοσον μεγα, το οποιον να εχη διαταγματα και κρισεις ουτω δικαιας, καθως πας ο νομος ουτος, τον οποιον θετω ενωπιον σας 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 Μονον προσεχε εις σεαυτον και φυλαττε καλως την ψυχην σου, μηποτε λησμονησης τα πραγματα τα οποια ειδον οι οφθαλμοι σου, και μηποτε χωρισθωσιν απο της καρδιας σου, κατα πασας τας ημερας της ζωης σου? αλλα διδασκε αυτα εις τους υιους σου και εις 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 Ενθυμου την ημεραν καθ' ην εσταθης ενωπιον Κυριου του Θεου σου εν Χωρηβ, οτε ειπε προς εμε Κυριος, Συναξον μοι τον λαον και θελω καμει αυτους να ακουσωσι τους λογους μου, δια να μαθωσι να με φοβωνται πασας τας ημερας οσας ζησωσιν επι της γης, και να διδασκωσι τους υιους αυτων.
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 επλησιασατε και εσταθητε υπο το ορος? και το ορος εκαιετο με πυρ εως μεσου του ουρανου, και ητο σκοτος, νεφη και γνοφος.
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 ελαλησε Κυριος προς εσας εκ μεσου του πυρος? σεις ηκουσατε μεν την φωνην των λογων, αλλα δεν ειδετε ουδεν ομοιωμα? μονον φωνην ηκουσατε.
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 εφανερωσεν εις εσας την διαθηκην αυτου, την οποιαν προσεταξεν εις εσας να εκτελητε, τας δεκα εντολας? και εγραψεν αυτας επι δυο λιθινας πλακας.
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 Κυριος προσεταξεν εις εμε κατ' εκεινον τον καιρον να σας διδαξω διαταγματα και κρισεις, δια να καμνητε αυτα εν τη γη, εις την οποιαν σεις εισερχεσθε να κληρονομησητε 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 Φυλαττετε λοιπον καλως τας ψυχας σας, διοτι δεν ειδετε ουδεν ομοιωμα, εν τη ημερα καθ' ην ο Κυριος ελαλησε προς εσας εν Χωρηβ εκ μεσου του πυρος?
16 Otherwise, perhaps being deceived, you might have made a graven image, or an image of male or female,	16 μηπως διαφθαρητε, και καμητε εις εαυτους ειδωλον, εικονα τινος μορφης, 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 τινος κτηνους το οποιον ειναι επι της γης, ομοιωμα τινος πτερωτου ορνεου το οποιον πετα εις τον ουρανον,
18 or of reptiles, which move across the earth, or of fish, which abide in the waters under the earth.	18 ομοιωμα τινος ερποντος επι της γης, ομοιωμα τινος ιχθυος οστις ειναι εις τα υδατα 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 μηπως υψωσης τους οφθαλμους σου εις τον ουρανον, και ιδων τον ηλιον και την σεληνην και τα αστρα, πασαν την στρατιαν του ουρανου, πλανηθης και προσκυνησης αυτα και λατρευσης αυτα, τα οποια Κυριος ο Θεος σου διεμοιρασεν εις παντα τα εθνη τα υποκατω παντος 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 εσας ομως ελαβεν ο Κυριος και σας εξηγαγεν εκ της καμινου της σιδηρας, εκ της Αιγυπτου, δια να ησθε εις αυτον λαος κληρονομιας ως την ημεραν ταυτην.
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 εθυμωθη εναντιον μου ο Κυριος εξ αιτιας σας και ωμοσε να μη διαβω τον Ιορδανην και να μη εισελθω εις εκεινην την γην την αγαθην, την οποιαν Κυριος ο Θεος σου διδει εις σε κληρονομιαν?
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 αλλ' εγω αποθνησκω εν τη γη ταυτη? εγω δεν διαβαινω τον Ιορδανην? σεις δε θελετε διαβη και θελετε κληρονομησει εκεινην την γην την αγαθην.
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 εις εαυτους, μηποτε λησμονησητε την διαθηκην Κυριου του Θεου σας, την οποιαν εκαμε προς εσας, και καμητε εις εαυτους ειδωλον, εικονα τινος, το οποιον απηγορευσε Κυριος ο Θεος σου.
24 For the Lord your God is a consuming fire, a jealous God.	24 Διοτι Κυριος ο Θεος σου ειναι πυρ καταναλισκον, Θεος ζηλοτυπος.
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, αφου γεννησης υιους και υιους υιων, και πολυχρονισητε επι της γης, διαφθαρητε και καμητε ειδωλον, εικονα τινος, και πραξητε πονηρα ενωπιον Κυριου του Θεου σου, ωστε να παροργισητε 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 τον ουρανον και την γην εναντιον σας σημερον, οτι εξαπαντος θελετε απολεσθη απο της γης, προς την οποιαν διαβαινετε τον Ιορδανην δια να κυριευσητε αυτην? δεν θελετε πολυχρονισει εν αυτη αλλ' εξ ολοκληρου θελετε αφανισθη.
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 θελει σας διασκορπισει ο Κυριος μεταξυ των λαων, και θελετε εναπολειφθη ολιγοι τον αριθμον μεταξυ των εθνων, εις τα οποια σας φερει ο Κυριος.
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 θελετε λατρευσει εκει θεους, εργα χειρων ανθρωπων, ξυλον και λιθον, τα οποια ουτε βλεπουσιν ουτε ακουουσιν ουτε τρωγουσιν, ουτε οσφραινονται.
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 εκειθεν θελετε εκζητησει Κυριον τον Θεον σας και θελετε ευρει αυτον, οταν εκζητησητε αυτον εξ ολης της καρδιας σας και εξ ολης της ψυχης σας.
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 Οταν ευρεθης εν θλιψει και σε ευρωσι παντα ταυτα εν ταις εσχαταις ημεραις, τοτε θελεις επιστρεψει προς Κυριον τον Θεον σου και θελεις ακουσει την φωνην 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 Διοτι Κυριος ο Θεος σου ειναι Θεος οικτιρμων? δεν θελει σε εγκαταλειψει ουδε θελει σε εξολοθρευσει ουδε θελει λησμονησει την διαθηκην των πατερων σου, την οποιαν ωμοσε προς αυτους.
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 Διοτι ερωτησον τωρα περι των προτερων ημερων, αιτινες υπηρξαν προτερον σου, αφ' ης ημερας εποιησεν ο Θεος τον ανθρωπον επι της γης, και ερωτησον απ' ακρου του ουρανου εως ακρου του ουρανου, αν εσταθη τι ως το μεγα τουτο πραγμα, αν ηκουσθη ομοιον αυτου.
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 Ηκουσε ποτε λαος την φωνην του Θεου λαλουντος εκ μεσου του πυρος, καθως συ ηκουσας, και εζησεν;
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 Η εδοκιμασεν ο Θεος να ελθη να λαβη εις εαυτον εθνος εκ μεσου αλλου εθνους με δοκιμασιας, με σημεια και με θαυματα και με πολεμον και με κραταιαν χειρα και με εξηπλωμενον βραχιονα και με μεγαλα τερατα, κατα παντα οσα Κυριος ο Θεος σας εκαμε δια σας εν Αιγυπτω ενωπιον των οφθαλμων σου;
35 So may you know that the Lord himself is God, and there is no other beside him.	35 εις σε εδειχθη τουτο, δια να γνωρισης οτι ο Κυριος, αυτος ειναι ο Θεος? δεν ειναι αλλος εκτος 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 σε εκαμε να ακουσης την φωνην αυτου, δια να σε διδαξη? και επι της γης εδειξεν εις σε το πυρ αυτου το μεγα, και τους λογους 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 Και επειδη ηγαπα τους πατερας σου, δια τουτο εξελεξε το σπερμα αυτων μετ' αυτους και σε εξηγαγεν εμπροσθεν αυτου εξ Αιγυπτου δια της κραταιας αυτου δυναμεως?
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 δια να καταδιωξη απ' εμπροσθεν σου εθνη μεγαλητερα και ισχυροτερα σου, δια να σε εισαγαγη, δια να σοι δωση την γην αυτων κληρονομιαν, καθως την 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 Γνωρισον λοιπον την ημεραν ταυτην και θες εν τη καρδια σου, οτι ο Κυριος, αυτος ειναι Θεος, εν τω ουρανω ανω και επι της γης κατω? δεν ειναι αλλος.
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 φυλαττε τα διαταγματα αυτου και τας εντολας αυτου, τας οποιας εγω προσταζω εις σε σημερον? δια να ευημερης συ και οι υιοι σου μετα σε και δια να μακροημερευης επι της γης, την οποιαν Κυριος ο Θεος σου εδωκεν εις σε διαπαντος.
41 Then Moses set aside three cities, across the Jordan toward the eastern region,	41 Τοτε ο Μωυσης εξεχωρισε τρεις πολεις εντευθεν του Ιορδανου προς ανατολας 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 δια να φευγη εκει ο φονευς, οστις φονευση τον πλησιον αυτου εξ αγνοιας, χωρις να μιση αυτον προτερον, και φευγων εις μιαν τουτων των πολεων να ζη?
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 πεδινη γη των Ρουβηνιτων και την Ραμωθ εν Γαλααδ των Γαδιτων και την Γωλαν εν Βασαν των Μανασσιτων.
44 This is the law, which Moses set forth before the sons of Israel.	44 Και ουτος ειναι ο νομος, τον οποιον εθεσεν ο Μωυσης ενωπιον των 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 αυται ειναι αι μαρτυριαι και τα διαταγματα και αι κρισεις, τας οποιας ελαλησεν ο Μωυσης προς τους υιους Ισραηλ, αφου εξηλθον εξ 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 εντευθεν του Ιορδανου, εν τη κοιλαδι κατεναντι του Βαιθ-φεγωρ, εν τη γη του Σηων βασιλεως των Αμορραιων, οστις κατωκει εν Εσεβων, τον οποιον επαταξεν ο Μωυσης και οι υιοι Ισραηλ, αφου εξηλθον εξ 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 εκυριευσαν την γην αυτου και την γην του Ωγ βασιλεως της Βασαν, δυο βασιλεων των Αμορραιων, οιτινες ησαν εντευθεν του Ιορδανου προς 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 της Αροηρ, της παρα το χειλος του ποταμου Αρνων, εως του ορους Σηων, το οποιον ειναι το 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 και πασαν την πεδινην εντευθεν του Ιορδανου προς ανατολας, εως της θαλασσης της πεδιαδος, υποκατω της Ασδωθ-φασγα.
