Ἄκουε, Ἰσραήλ. σὺ διαβαίνεις σήμερον τὸν Ἰορδάνην τοῦτον
κληρονομῆσαι ἔθνη μεγάλα καὶ ἰσχυρότερα μᾶλλον ἡ ὑμεῖς, μεγάλας καὶ τειχήρεις ἕως τοῦ οὐρανοῦ,

λαὸν μέγαν καὶ καὶ εὐμήκη, υἱοὺς Ἐνάκ, οὓς σὺ οἶσθας καὶ σὺ ἀκήκοας τίς ἀντὶ ¹²
τοι κατὰ πρόσωπον υἱῶν Ἐνάκ;

καὶ γνώσῃ σήμερον ὅτι κύριος ὁ ³ θεός σου, οὗτος προπορεύεται πρὸ προσώπου σου· πῦρ καταναλίσκον ἐστιν· οὗτος ἐξολεθρεύσει αὐτούς, καὶ οὗτος ἀποστρέψει αὐτοὺς ἀπὸ
προσώπου σου, καὶ ἀπολεῖς αὐτοὺς καθάπερ εἰπέν σοι κύριος.

μὴ εἴπῃς ἐν τῇ καρδίᾳ σου, ἐν τῷ ἐξαναλῶσαι κύριον τὸν θεόν σου τὰ ἔθνη ταῦτα ἀπὸ προσώπου, λέγων Διὰ τὴν δικαιοσύνην μου εἰσήγαγέν
με κύριος κληρονομῆσαι τὴν γῆν τὴν ἀγαθὴν ταύτην.

οὐχὶ διὰ τὴν δικαιοσύνην σου οὐδὲ διὰ τὴν ὁσιότητα τῆς καρδίας σου σὺ εἰσπορεύῃ κληρονομῆσαι τὴν γῆν αὐτῶν, ἀλλὰ διὰ τὴν ἀσέβειαν τῶν ἐθνῶν τούτων Κύριος ἐξολεθρεύσει αὐτοὺς ἀπὸ προσώπου σου· καὶ ἵνα στήσῃ τὴν διαθήκην αὐτοῦ ἣν ὤμοσεν τοῖς πατράσιν ὑμῶν, τῷ Ἀβραὰμ καὶ
τῷ Ἰσαὰκ καὶ τῷ Ἰακώβ.

καὶ γνώσῃ σήμερον ὅτι οὐχὶ διὰ τὰς δικαιοσύνας νᾶς σου Κύριος ὁ θεός σου δίδωσίν σοι τὴν γῆν τὴν ἀγαθὴν
ταύτην κληρονομῆσαι, ὅτι λαὸς σκληροτράχηλος εἶ.

μνήσθητι μὴ ἐπιλάθῃ ὅσα παρώξυνας κύριον τὸν θεόν σου ἐν τῆ ἐρήμῳ· ἀφ’ ἧς ἡμέρας ἐξήλθετε ἐξ Αἰγύπτου καὶ ἤλθετε εἰς τὸν τόπον τοῦτον, ἀπειθοῦντες
διετελεῖτε τὰ πρὸς κύριον.

καὶ ἐν Χωρὴβ παρωξύνατε
κύριον, καὶ ἐθυμώθη ἐφ’ ὑμῖν ἐξολεθρεῦσαι ὑμᾶς,

ἀναβαίνοντός μου εἰς τὸ ὄρος λαβεῖν τὰς πλάκας τὰς λιθίνας, πλάκας διαθήκης ἃς διέθετο κύριος πρὸς ὑμᾶς· καὶ κατεγινόμην ἐν τῷ ὄρει τεσσεράκοντα ἡμέρας καὶ τεσσεράκοντα νύκτας· ἄρτον οὐκ ἔφαγου καὶ ὕδωρ οὐκ ἔπιον.

καὶ ἔδωκεν Κύριος ἐμοὶ τὰς δύο πλάκας τὰς λιθίνας, γεγραμμένας ἐν τῷ δακτύλῳ τοῦ θεοῦ, καὶ ἐπ’ αὐταῖς ἐγέγραπτο πάντες οἱ λόγοι οὓς
ἐλάλησεν κύριος πρὸς ὑμᾶς ἐν τῷ ὄρει ἡμέρᾳ ἐκκλησίας·

καὶ ἐγένετο διὰ τεσσεράκοντα ἡμερῶν καὶ τεσσεράκοντα νυκτῶν ἔδωκεν Κύριος
ἐμοὶ τὰς δύο πλάκας τὰς λιθίνας, πλάκας διαθήκης.

καὶ εἶπεν κύριος πρὸς μέ Ἀνάστηθι, κατάβηθι τὸ τάχος ἐντεῦθεν, ὅτι ἠνόμησεν ὁ λαός σου οὓς ἐξήγαγες ἐκ γῆς Αἰγύπτου· παρέβησαν ταχὺ ἐκ τῆς ὁδοῦ ἧς ⁴⁶ ἐνετείλω αὐτοῖς, καὶ ἐποίησαν ἑαυτοῖς χώνευμα.

καὶ εἶπεν Κύριος
πρὸς μέ Λελάληκα πρὸς σὲ ἅπαξ καὶ δὶς λέγων Ἑώρακα τὸν λαὸν τοῦτον, καὶἰδοὺ λαὸς σκληροτράχηλός ἐστιν·

καὶ νῦν ἔασόν με ἐξολεθρεῦσαι
αὐτούς, καὶ ἐξαλείψω τὸ ὄνομα αὐτῶν ὑποκάτωθεν τοῦ οὐρανοῦ, καὶ ποιήσω σε εἰς ἔθνος μέγα καὶ ἰσχυρὸν καὶ πολὺ μᾶλλον ἢ τοῦτο.

καὶ ἐπιστρέψας κατέβην ἐκ τοῦ ὄρους, καὶτὸ ὄρος ἐκαίετο πυρὶ ἕως τοῦ
οὐρανοῦ, καὶ αἱ δύο πλάκες ἐπὶ ταῖς δυσὶ χερσίν μου.

καὶ ἰδὼν ὅτι
ἡμάρτετε ἐναντίον κυρίου τοῦ θεοῦ ὑμῶν, καὶ ἐποιήσατε ὑμῖν ἑαυτοῖς χωνευτόν, καὶ παρέβητε ἀπὸ τῆς ὁδοῦ ἧς ἐνετείλατο ὑμῖν Κύριος,

καὶ
ἐπιλαβόμενος τῶν δύο πλοκῶν ἔρριψα αὐτὰς ἀπὸ τῶν δύο χειρῶν μου καὶ συνέτριψα ἐναντίον ὑμῶν.

καὶ ἐδεήθην ἐναντίον Κυρίου δεύτερον
καθάπερ καὶ τὸ πρότερον τεσσεράκοντα ἡ μέ ῥᾶς καὶ τεσσεράκοντα νύκτας· ἄρτον οὐκ ἔφαγον καὶ ὕδωρ οὐκ ἔπιον· περὶ πασῶν τῶν ὑμῶν ὦν ἡμάρτετε, ποιῆσαι τὸ πονηρὸν ἐναντίον κυρίου τοῦ παροξῦναι αὐτόν.

καὶ ἔκφοβός εἰμι διὰ τὴν ὀργὴν καὶ τὸν θυμόν,
ὅτι παρωξύνθη Κύριος ἐφ’ ὑμῖν ἐξολεθρεῦσαι ὑμᾶς· καὶ εἰσήκουσεν κύριος ἐμοῦ καὶ ἐν τῷ καιρῷ τούτῳ.

καὶ ἐπὶ Ἀαρὼν ἐθυμώθη ἐξολεθρεῦσαι
αὐτόν, καὶ ηὐξάμην καὶ περὶ Ἀαρὼν ἐν τῷ καιρῷ ἐκείνῳ.

καὶ τὴν ἁμαρτίαν ὑμῶν ἢν ἐποιήσατε, τὸν μόσχον, ἔλαβον αὐτὸν καὶ
κατέκαυσα αὐτὸν ἐν πυρί, καὶ συνέκοψα αὐτὸν καταλέσας σφόδρα ἕως γένετο λεπτόν· καὶ ἐγένετο ὡσεὶ κονιορτός, καὶ ἔρριψα τὸν κονιορτὸν εἰς τὸν χειμάρρουν τὸν καταβαίνοντα ἐκ τοῦ ὄρους.

καὶ ἐν τῶ
Ἐνπυρισμῷ καὶ ἐν τῷ Πειρασμῷ καὶ ἐν τοῖς Μνήμασιν τῆς ἐπιθυμία παροξύνοντες ἦτε κύριον.

καὶ ὅτε ἐξαπέστειλεν Κύριος ὑμᾶς ἐκ
Καδὴς Βαρνὴ λέγων Ἀνάβητε καὶ κληρονομήσατε τὴν γῆν ἢν δίδωμι ὑμῖν, καὶ ἠπειθήσατε τῷ ῥήματι κυρίου τοῦ θεοῦ ὑμῶν, καὶ οὐκ ἔπι. στεύσατε αὐτῷ, καὶ οὐκ εἰσηκούσατε τῆς φωνῆς αὐτοῦ.

ἀπειθοῦντες
ἦτε τὰ πρὸς κύριον ἀπὸ τῆς ἡμέρας ἧς ἐγνώσθη ὑμῖν.

καὶ ἐδεήθην
⁷ ἐναντίοι Κυρίου τεσσεράκοντα ἡμέρας καὶ τεσσεράκοντα νύκτας ὅσας ⁸
ἐδεήθην, εἶπεν γὰρ κύριος ἐξολεθρεῦσαι ὑμᾶς·

καὶ εὐξάμην πρὸς τὸν θεὸν καὶ εἶπα Κύριε βασιλεῦ τῶν θεῶν, μὴ ἐξολεθρεύσῃς τὸν λαόν σου καὶ τὴν μερίδα σου ἣν ἐλυτρώσω, οὓς ἐξήγαγες ἐκ γῆς Αἰγύπτου ἐν τῇ ἰσχύι σου τῇ μεγάλῃ καὶ ἐν τῇ χειρί σου τῇ κραταιᾷ καὶ ἐν τῷ βραχίονί
σου τῷ ὑψηλῷ·

μνήσθητι Ἀβραὰμ καὶ Ἰσαὰκ καὶ Ἰακὼβ τῶν θεραπόντων σου οἷς ὤμοσας κατὰ σεαυτοῦ· μὴ ἐπιβλέψῃς ἐπὶ τὴν σκληρότητα τοῦ λαοῦ τούτου καὶ τὰ ἀσεβήματα καὶ τὰ ἁμαρτήματα
αὐτῶν·

μὴ εἴπωσιν οἱ κατοικοῦντες τὴν γῆν ὅθεν ἐξήγαγες ἡμᾶς ἐκεῖθεν λέγοντες Παρὰ τὸ μὴ δύνασθαι κύριον εἰσαγαγεῖν αὐτοὺς εἰς τὴν γῆν ἣν εἶπεν αὐτοῖς, καὶ παρὰ τὸ μισῆσαι αὐτούς, ἐξήγαγεν αὐτοὺς
ἐν τῆ ἐρήμῳ ἀποκτεῖναι αὐτούς.

καὶ οὗτοι λαός σου καὶ κλῆρός σου, οὓς ἐξήγαγες ἐκ γῆς Αἰγύπτου ἐν τῆ ἰσχύι σου τῇ μεγάλῃ καὶ ἐν τῇ χειρί σου τῇ κραταιᾷ καὶ ἐν τῷ βραχίονί σου τῷ ὑψηλῷ.

Translations (1)

Deuteronomy Perseus (World English Bible. Revision of the American Standard Version of 1901. Rainbow Missions, Inc., 2000-2024.) — 9 focus

Hear, Israel: you are to pass over the Jordan this day, to go in to dispossess nations greater and mightier than yourself, cities great and fortified up to the sky,

a people great and tall, the sons of the Anakim, whom you know, and of whom you have heard say, Who can stand before the sons of Anak?

Know therefore this day, that Yahweh your God is he who goes over before you as a devouring fire; he will destroy them, and he will bring them down before you: so shall you drive them out, and make them to perish quickly, as Yahweh has spoken to you.

Don’t speak in your heart, after that Yahweh your God has thrust them out from before you, saying, For my righteousness Yahweh has brought me in to possess this land; whereas for the wickedness of these nations Yahweh does drive them out from before you.

Not for your righteousness, or for the uprightness of your heart, do you go in to possess their land; but for the wickedness of these nations Yahweh your God does drive them out from before you, and that he may establish the word which Yahweh swore to your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob.

Know therefore, that Yahweh your God doesn’t give you this good land to possess it for your righteousness; for you are a stiff-necked people.

Remember, don’t forget, how you provoked Yahweh your God to wrath in the wilderness: from the day that you went forth out of the land of Egypt, until you came to this place, you have been rebellious against Yahweh.

Also in Horeb you provoked Yahweh to wrath, and Yahweh was angry with you to destroy you.

When I was gone up onto the mountain to receive the tables of stone, even the tables of the covenant which Yahweh made with you, then I stayed on the mountain forty days and forty nights; I did neither eat bread nor drink water.

Yahweh delivered to me the two tables of stone written with the finger of God; and on them [was written] according to all the words, which Yahweh spoke with you on the mountain out of the midst of the fire in the day of the assembly.

It came to pass at the end of forty days and forty nights, that Yahweh gave me the two tables of stone, even the tables of the covenant.

Yahweh said to me, Arise, get you down quickly from hence; for your people whom you have brought forth out of Egypt have corrupted themselves; they have quickly turned aside out of the way which I commanded them; they have made them a molten image.

Furthermore Yahweh spoke to me, saying, I have seen this people, and, behold, it is a stiff-necked people:

let me alone, that I may destroy them, and blot out their name from under the sky; and I will make of you a nation mightier and greater than they.

So I turned and came down from the mountain, and the mountain was burning with fire: and the two tables of the covenant were in my two hands.

I looked, and, behold, you had sinned against Yahweh your God; you had made you a molten calf: you had turned aside quickly out of the way which Yahweh had commanded you.

I took hold of the two tables, and cast them out of my two hands, and broke them before your eyes.

I fell down before Yahweh, as at the first, forty days and forty nights; I did neither eat bread nor drink water; because of all your sin which you sinned, in doing that which was evil in the sight of Yahweh, to provoke him to anger.

For I was afraid of the anger and hot displeasure, with which Yahweh was angry against you to destroy you. But Yahweh listened to me that time also.

Yahweh was very angry with Aaron to destroy him: and I prayed for Aaron also at the same time.

I took your sin, the calf which you had made, and burnt it with fire, and stamped it, grinding it very small, until it was as fine as dust: and I cast the dust of it into the brook that descended out of the mountain.

At Taberah, and at Massah, and at Kibroth-hattaavah, you provoked Yahweh to wrath.

When Yahweh sent you from Kadesh-barnea, saying, Go up and possess the land which I have given you; then you rebelled against the commandment of Yahweh your God, and you didn’t believe him, nor listen to his voice.

You have been rebellious against Yahweh from the day that I knew you.

So I fell down before Yahweh the forty days and forty nights that I fell down, because Yahweh had said he would destroy you.

I prayed to Yahweh, and said, Lord Yahweh, don’t destroy your people and your inheritance, that you have redeemed through your greatness, that you have brought forth out of Egypt with a mighty hand.

Remember your servants, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; don’t look to the stubbornness of this people, nor to their wickedness, nor to their sin,

lest the land whence you brought us out say, Because Yahweh was not able to bring them into the land which he promised to them, and because he hated them, he has brought them out to kill them in the wilderness.

Yet they are your people and your inheritance, which you brought out by your great power and by your outstretched arm.
