Καὶ ταῦτα τὰ προστάγματα καὶ αἱ κρίσεις ἃς φυλάξετε τοῦ ποιεῖν ἐν τῇ γῇ, ἧ κύριος ὁ θεὸς τῶν πατέρων ἡμῶν δίδωσιν ὑμῖν ἐν κλήρῳ
πάσας τὰς ἡμέρας ἃς ὑμεῖς ζῆτε ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς.

ἀπωλίᾳ ἀπολεῖτε πάντας τοὺς τόπους ἐν οἷς ἐλάτρευσαν ἐκεῖ τοῖς θεοῖς αὐτῶν, οὓς ὑμεῖς κληρονομεῖτε αὐτούς, ἐπὶ τῶν ὀρέων τῶν ὑψηλῶν καὶ ἐπὶ τῶν
θινῶν καὶ ὑποκάτω δένδρου δασέος·

καὶ κατασκάψατε τοὺς βωμοὺς ¹³ αὐτῶν, καὶ συντρίψετε τὰς στήλας αὐτῶν, καὶ τὰ ἄλση αὐτῶν ἐκκόφετε, καὶ τὰ γλυπτὰ τῶν θεῶν αὐτῶν κατακούσατε πυρί. καὶ ἀπολεῖται τὸ ὄνομα αὐτῶν ἐκ τοῦ τόπου ἐκείνου.

οὐ ποιήσετε
οὕτως κυρίῳ τῷ θεῷ ὑμῶν·

ἀλλ᾿ ἢ εἰς τὸν τόπον ὃν ἀν’ ἐκλέξηται
Κύριος ὁ θεός σου ἐν μιᾷ τῶν πόλεων ὑμῶν, ἐπονομάσαι τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ ἐκεῖ ἐπικληθῆναι, καὶ ἐκζητήσατε ἐκεῖ·

καὶ οἴσετε
τὰ ὁλοκαυτώματα ὑμῶν, καὶ τὰς ὁμολογίας ὑμῶν, τὰ πρωτότοκα τῶν βοῶν ὑμῶν κα τῶν προβάτων ὑμῶν·

καὶ φάγεσθε ἐκεῖ
ἐναντίον κυρίου τοῦ θεοῦ ὑμῶν, καὶ εὐφρανθήσεσθε ἐπὶ πᾶσιν οὗ ἂν τὴν χεῖρα ἐπιβάλητε, ὑμεῖς καὶ οἱ οἶκοι ὑμῶν, καθότι εὐλόγησέν σε Κύριος ὁ θεός σου.

οὐ ποιήσετε πάντα ἃ ἡμεῖς ποιοῦμεν ὧδε σήμερον, ἕκαστος τὸ ἀρεστὸν ἐνώπιον αὐτοῦ·

οὐ γὰρ ἥκατε ἕως
τοῦ νῦν εἰς τὴν κατάπαυσιν καὶ εἰς τὴν κληρονομίαν ἣν Κύριος ὁ θεὸς ἡμῶν δίδωσιν ὑμῖν.

καὶ διαβήσεσθε τὸν Ἰορδάνην, καὶ
κατοικήσετε ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς ἧς κύριος ὁ θεὸς ἡμῶν κατακληρονομεῖ ὑμῖν, καὶ καταπαύσει ὑμᾶς ἀπὸ πάντων τῶν ἐχθρῶν ὑμῶν τῶν κύκλῳ, καὶ κατοικήσετε μετὰ ἀσφαλίας.

καὶ ἔσται ὁ τόπος ὃν
ἂν ἐκλέξηται κύριος ὁ θεός σον ἐπικληθῆναι τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ ἐκεῖ, οἴσετε πάντα ὅσα ἐγὼ ἐντέλλομαι ὑμῖν σήμερον, τὰ ὁλοκαυτώματα ὑμῶν καὶ τὰ θυσιάσματα ὑμῶν, καὶ τὰ ἐπιδέκατα ὑμῶν καὶ τὰς ἀπαρχὰς τῶν χειρῶν ὑμῶν, καὶ πᾶν ἐκλεκτὸν τῶν δώρων ὑμῶν ὅσα ἐὰν εὔξησθε τῷ θεῷ ἐῷ·

καὶ εὐφρανθήσεσθε ἐναντίον κυρίου τοῦ
θεοῦ ὑμῶν, ὑμεῖς καὶ οἱ υἱοὶ ὑμῶν καὶ αἱ θυγατέρες ὑμῶν, οἱ παῖδες ὑμῶν καὶ αἱ παιδίσκαι ὑμῶν, καὶ ὁ Λευείτης ὁ ἐπὶ τῶν πυλῶν ὑμῶν, ὅτι οὐκ ἔστιν αὐτῷ μερὶς οὐδὲ κλῆρος μεθ’ ὑμῶν.

πρόσεχε
σεαυτῷ μὴ ἀνενέγκῃς τὰ ὁλοκαυτώματά σου ἐν παντὶ τόπω οὗ ἐὰν ἴδῃς,

ἀλλ᾿ ἢ εἰς τὸν τόπον ὃν ἀν’ ἐκλέξηται κύριος ὁ θεός σου
⁴⁵ αὐτὸν ἐν μιᾷ τῶν φυλῶν σου· ἐκεῖ ἀνοίσετε τὰ ὁλοκαυτώματα ὑμῶν, ⁶
καὶ ἐκεῖ ποιήσεις πάντα ὅσα ἐγὼ ἐντέλλομαί σοι σήμερον.

ἀλλ᾿ ἢ ἐν πάσῃ ἐπιθυμίᾳ σου θύσεις καὶ φάγῃ κρέα κατὰ τὴν εὐλογίαν κυρίου τοῦ θεοῦ σου ἢν ἔδωκέν σοι ἐν πάσῃ πόλει· ὁ ἀκάθαρτος ἐν σοὶ κοὶ ὁ καθαρὸς ἐπὶ τὸ αὐτὸ φάγεται αὐτό, ὡς δορκάδα ἢ ἔλαφον·

πλὴν τὸ αἷμα οὐ φάγεσθε, ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν ἐκχεεῖτε αὐτὸ ὡς ὕδωρ.

οὐ δυνήσῃ φαγεῖν ἐν ταῖς πόλεσίν σου τὸ ἐπιδέκατον τοῦ σίτου σου καὶ τοῦ οἴνου σου καὶ τοῦ ἐλαίου σου, τὰ πρωτότοκα τῶν βοῶν σου, καὶ πάσας εὐχὰς ὅσας ἂν εὔξησθε καὶ τὰς ὁμολογίας ὑμῶν,
καὶ τὰς ἀπαρχὰς τῶν χειρῶν σου·

ἀλλ᾿ ἢ ἐναντίον Τυρίου τοῦ θεοῦ σου φάγῃ αὐτὸ ἐν τῷ τόπῳ ᾧ ἂν ἐκλέξηται κύριος ὁ θεός σου αὐτῷ, σὺ καὶ ὁ υἱός σου καὶ ἡ θυγάτηρ σου, ὁ παῖς σου καὶ ἡ παιδίσκη σου, καὶ ὁ προσήλυτος ὁ ἐν ταῖς πόλεσιν ὑμῶν· καὶ εὐφρανθήσῃ ἐναντίον Τυρίου τοῦ θεοῦ σου ἐπὶ πάντα οὗ ἀν’ ἔπι
βάλῃς τὴν χεῖρά σου.

πρόσεχε σεαυτῷ μὴ ἐνκαταλίπῃς τὸν
Λευείτην πάντα τὸν χρόνον ὅσον ἐὰν ζῆς ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς.

Ἐὰν δὲ ἐμπλατύνῃ κύριος ὁ θεός σου τὰ ὅριά σου καθάπερ ἐλάλησέν σοι, καὶ ἐρεῖς Φάγομαι κρέα· ἐὰν ἐπιθυμήσῃ ἡ ψυχή σου ὥστε
φαγεῖν κρέα, ἐν πάσῃ ἐπιθυμίᾳ τῆς ψυχῆς σου φάγῃ κρέα.

ἐὰν δὲ μακρὰν ἀπέχῃ σου ὁ τόπος ὃν ἂν ἐκλέξηται κύριος ὁ θεός σου ἐκεῖ ἐπικληθῆναι τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ, καὶ θύσεις ἀπὸ τῶν βοῶν σου καὶ ἀπὸ τῶν προβάτων σου, ὧν ἂν δῷ ὁ θεός σοι, ὃν τρόπον ἐνετειλάμην σοι, καὶ φάγῃ ἐν ταῖς πόλεσίν σου κατὰ τὴν ἐπιθυμίαν
τῆς ψυχῆς σου·

ὡς ἔσθεται ἡ δορκὰς καὶ ἡ ἔλαφος, οὕτως φάγῃ
αὐτό· ὁ ἀκάθαρτος ἐν σοὶ καὶ ὁ καθαρὸς ὡσαύτως ἔδεται.

πρόσεχε ἰσχυρῶς τοῦ μὴ φαγεῖν αἷμα, ὅτι αἷμα αὐτοῦ ψυχή. οὐ βρωθήσεται
ἡ ψυχὴ μετὰ τῶν κρεῶν·

οὐ φάγεσθε, ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν ἐκχεεῖτε αὐτὸ
ὡς ὕδωρ·

oοὐ οὐ φάγῃ αὐτό, ἵνα εὖ σοι γένηται καὶ τοῖς υἱοῖς σου ⁷⁹ μετὰ σέ, ἐὰν ποιήσῃς τὸ καλὸν καὶ τὸ ἀρεστὸν ἐναντίον Κυρίου τοῦ θεοῦ σου.

πλὴν τὰ ἅγιά σου, ἐὰν γένηταί σοι, καὶ τὰς εὐχάς
σου λαβὼν ἥξεις εἰς τὸν τόπον ὃν ἂν ἐκλέξηται Κύριος ὁ θεός σου ἐπικληθῆναι τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ ἐκεῖ·

καὶ ποιήσεις τὰ ὁλοκαυτώματά
σου· τὰ δὲ κρέα φάγῃ.

Φυλάσσου καὶ ἄκουε καὶ ποιήσεις πάντας
τοὺς λόγους οὓς ἐγὼ ἐντέλλομαί σοι· ἵνα εὖ σοι γένηται καὶ τοῖς υἱοῖς σου δι’ αἰῶνος, ἐὰν ποιήσῃς τὸ καλὸν καὶ τὸ ἀρεστὸν ἐναντίον κυρίου τοῦ θεοῦ σου.

Ἐὰν δὲ ἐξολεθρεύσῃ κύριος ὁ θεός
σου τὰ ἔθνη, εἰς οὓς εἰσπορεύῃ ἐκεῖ κληρονομῆσαι τὴν γῆν ἀπὸ προσώπου σου, καὶ κατακληρονομήσῃς αὐτήν, καὶ γῆν αὐτῶν, ἐν τῆ γῇ αὐτῶν·

πρόσεχε σεαυτῷ μὴ ἐκζητήσῃς ἐπακολουθῆσαι
αὐτοῖς μετὰ τὸ ἐξολεθρευθῆναι αὐτοὺς ἀπὸ προσώπου σου, λέγων Ἠὼς ποιοῦσιν τὰ ἔθνη ταῦτα τοῖς θεοῖς αὐτῶν; ποιήσω κἀγώ.

οὐ
ποιήσεις οὕτως τῷ θεῷ σου· τὰ γὰρ βδελύγματα κυρίου, ἃ ἐμίσησεν, ἐποίησαν ἐν τοῖς θεοῖς αὐτῶν, ὅτι τοὺς υἱοὺς αὐτῶν καὶ τὰς θυγατέρας αὐτῶν κατακαίουσιν ἐν πυρὶ τοῖς θεοῖς αὐτῶν.

Πᾶν

ῥῆμα ὃ ἐγὼ ἐντέλλομαι ὑμῖν σήμερον, τοῦτο φυλάξῃ ποιεῖν· οὐ προσθήσεις ἐπ’ αὐτό, οὐδὲ ἀφελεῖς ὄπ’ αὐτοῦ.

Translations (1)

Deuteronomy Perseus (World English Bible. Revision of the American Standard Version of 1901. Rainbow Missions, Inc., 2000-2024.) — 12 focus

These are the statutes and the ordinances which you shall observe to do in the land which Yahweh, the God of your fathers, has given you to possess it, all the days that you live on the earth.

You shall surely destroy all the places in which the nations that you shall dispossess served their gods, on the high mountains, and on the hills, and under every green tree:

and you shall break down their altars, and dash in pieces their pillars, and burn their Asherim with fire; and you shall cut down the engraved images of their gods; and you shall destroy their name out of that place.

You shall not do so to Yahweh your God.

But to the place which Yahweh your God shall choose out of all your tribes, to put his name there, even to his habitation shall you seek, and there you shall come;

and there you shall bring your burnt offerings, and your sacrifices, and your tithes, and the heave-offering of your hand, and your vows, and your freewill-offerings, and the firstborn of your herd and of your flock:

and there you shall eat before Yahweh your God, and you shall rejoice in all that you put your hand to, you and your households, in which Yahweh your God has blessed you.

You shall not do after all the things that we do here this day, every man whatever is right in his own eyes;

for you haven’t yet come to the rest and to the inheritance, which Yahweh your God gives you.

But when you go over the Jordan, and dwell in the land which Yahweh your God causes you to inherit, and he gives you rest from all your enemies round about, so that you dwell in safety;

then it shall happen that to the place which Yahweh your God shall choose, to cause his name to dwell there, there shall you bring all that I command you: your burnt offerings, and your sacrifices, your tithes, and the heave-offering of your hand, and all your choice vows which you vow to Yahweh.

You shall rejoice before Yahweh your God, you, and your sons, and your daughters, and your men-servants, and your maid-servants, and the Levite who is within your gates, because he has no portion nor inheritance with you.

Take heed to yourself that you don’t offer your burnt offerings in every place that you see;

but in the place which Yahweh shall choose in one of your tribes, there you shall offer your burnt offerings, and there you shall do all that I command you.

Notwithstanding, you may kill and eat flesh within all your gates, after all the desire of your soul, according to the blessing of Yahweh your God which he has given you: the unclean and the clean may eat of it, as of the gazelle, and as of the hart.

Only you shall not eat the blood; you shall pour it out on the earth as water.

You may not eat within your gates the tithe of your grain, or of your new wine, or of your oil, or the firstborn of your herd or of your flock, nor any of your vows which you vow, nor your freewill-offerings, nor the heave-offering of your hand;

but you shall eat them before Yahweh your God in the place which Yahweh your God shall choose, you, and your son, and your daughter, and your man-servant, and your maid-servant, and the Levite who is within your gates: and you shall rejoice before Yahweh your God in all that you put your hand to.

Take heed to yourself that you don’t forsake the Levite as long as you live in your land.

When Yahweh your God shall enlarge your border, as he has promised you, and you shall say, I will eat flesh, because your soul desires to eat flesh; you may eat flesh, after all the desire of your soul.

If the place which Yahweh your God shall choose, to put his name there, be too far from you, then you shall kill of your herd and of your flock, which Yahweh has given you, as I have commanded you; and you may eat within your gates, after all the desire of your soul.

Even as the gazelle and as the hart is eaten, so you shall eat of it: the unclean and the clean may eat of it alike.

Only be sure that you don’t eat the blood: for the blood is the life; and you shall not eat the life with the flesh.

You shall not eat it; you shall pour it out on the earth as water.

You shall not eat it; that it may go well with you, and with your children after you, when you shall do that which is right in the eyes of Yahweh.

Only your holy things which you have, and your vows, you shall take, and go to the place which Yahweh shall choose:

and you shall offer your burnt offerings, the flesh and the blood, on the altar of Yahweh your God; and the blood of your sacrifices shall be poured out on the altar of Yahweh your God; and you shall eat the flesh.

Observe and hear all these words which I command you, that it may go well with you, and with your children after you forever, when you do that which is good and right in the eyes of Yahweh your God.

When Yahweh your God shall cut off the nations from before you, where you go in to dispossess them, and you dispossess them, and dwell in their land;

take heed to yourself that you not be ensnared to follow them, after that they are destroyed from before you; and that you not inquire after their gods, saying, How do these nations serve their gods? even so will I do likewise.

You shall not do so to Yahweh your God: for every abomination to Yahweh, which he hates, have they done to their gods; for even their sons and their daughters do they burn in the fire to their gods.

Whatever thing I command you, that shall you observe to do: you shall not add thereto, nor diminish from it.
