The Book of Deuteronomy, Chapter 11ΔΕΥΤΕΡΟΝΟΜΙΟΝ ΙΑ′

καὶ ἀγαπήσεις κύριον τὸν θεόν σου καὶ φυλάξῃ τὰ φυλάγματα αὐτοῦ καὶ τὰ δικαιώματα αὐτοῦ καὶ τὰς κρίσεις αὐτοῦ πάσας τὰς ἡμέρας

And you shall love the LORD your God and keep his charge and his ordinances and his judgments all the days.

καὶ γνώσεσθε σήμερον ὅτι οὐχὶ τὰ παιδία ὑμῶν ὅσοι οὐκ οἴδασιν οὐδὲ εἴδοσαν τὴν παιδείαν κυρίου τοῦ θεοῦ σου καὶ τὰ μεγαλεῖα αὐτοῦ καὶ τὴν χεῖρα τὴν κραταιὰν καὶ τὸν βραχίονα τὸν ὑψηλὸν

And you shall know today — for it is not your children who have not known nor seen the discipline of the LORD your God and his mighty acts and his strong hand and his uplifted arm,

καὶ τὰ σημεῖα αὐτοῦ καὶ τὰ τέρατα αὐτοῦ ὅσα ἐποίησεν ἐν μέσῳ Αἰγύπτου Φαραω βασιλεῖ Αἰγύπτου καὶ πάσῃ τῇ γῇ αὐτοῦ

and his signs and his wonders which he did in the midst of Egypt to Pharaoh king of Egypt and to all his land,

καὶ ὅσα ἐποίησεν τὴν δύναμιν τῶν Αἰγυπτίων τὰ ἅρματα αὐτῶν καὶ τὴν ἵππον αὐτῶν ὡς ἐπέκλυσεν τὸ ὕδωρ τῆς θαλάσσης τῆς ἐρυθρᾶς ἐπὶ προσώπου αὐτῶν καταδιωκόντων αὐτῶν ἐκ τῶν ὀπίσω ὑμῶν καὶ ἀπώλεσεν αὐτοὺς κύριος ἕως τῆς σήμερον ἡμέρας

and what he did to the army of the Egyptians, their chariots and their cavalry, how the water of the Red Sea overwhelmed them upon their face as they pursued after you, and the LORD destroyed them to this very day;

καὶ ὅσα ἐποίησεν ὑμῖν ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ ἕως ἤλθετε εἰς τὸν τόπον τοῦτον

and what he did for you in the wilderness until you came to this place;

καὶ ὅσα ἐποίησεν τῷ Δαθαν καὶ Αβιρων υἱοῖς Ελιαβ υἱοῦ Ρουβην οὓς ἀνοίξασα ἡ γῆ τὸ στόμα αὐτῆς κατέπιεν αὐτοὺς καὶ τοὺς οἴκους αὐτῶν καὶ τὰς σκηνὰς αὐτῶν καὶ πᾶσαν αὐτῶν τὴν ὑπόστασιν τὴν μετ᾿ αὐτῶν ἐν μέσῳ παντὸς Ισραηλ

and what he did to Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab son of Reuben, whom the earth, opening its mouth, swallowed up — them and their households and their tents and all their substance that was with them — in the midst of all Israel;

ὅτι οἱ ὀφθαλμοὶ ὑμῶν ἑώρακαν πάντα τὰ ἔργα κυρίου τὰ μεγάλα ὅσα ἐποίησεν ὑμῖν σήμερον

for your eyes have seen all the great works of the LORD which he did among you today.

καὶ φυλάξεσθε πάσας τὰς ἐντολὰς αὐτοῦ ὅσας ἐγὼ ἐντέλλομαί σοι σήμερον ἵνα ζῆτε καὶ πολυπλασιασθῆτε καὶ εἰσελθόντες κληρονομήσητε τὴν γῆν εἰς ἣν ὑμεῖς διαβαίνετε τὸν Ιορδάνην ἐκεῖ κληρονομῆσαι αὐτήν

And you shall keep all his commandments which I command you today, that you may live and be multiplied and, having entered in, may inherit the land into which you are crossing the Jordan there to inherit it;

ἵνα μακροημερεύσητε ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς ἧς ὤμοσεν κύριος τοῖς πατράσιν ὑμῶν δοῦναι αὐτοῖς καὶ τῷ σπέρματι αὐτῶν μετ᾿ αὐτούς γῆν ῥέουσαν γάλα καὶ μέλι

that you may prolong your days upon the land which the LORD swore to your fathers to give to them and to their seed after them, a land flowing with milk and honey.

ἔστιν γὰρ ἡ γῆ εἰς ἣν εἰσπορεύῃ ἐκεῖ κληρονομῆσαι αὐτήν οὐχ ὥσπερ ἡ γῆ Αἰγύπτου ἐστίν ὅθεν ἐκπεπόρευσθε ἐκεῖθεν ὅταν σπείρωσιν τὸν σπόρον καὶ ποτίζωσιν τοῖς ποσὶν ὡσεὶ κῆπον λαχανείας

For the land into which you are entering there to inherit it is not like the land of Egypt, from where you came out, where, when they sow the seed, they water it with the feet like a garden of vegetables;

ἡ δὲ γῆ εἰς ἣν εἰσπορεύῃ ἐκεῖ κληρονομῆσαι αὐτήν γῆ ὀρεινὴ καὶ πεδινή ἐκ τοῦ ὑετοῦ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ πίεται ὕδωρ

but the land into which you are entering there to inherit it is a land of mountains and plains; from the rain of heaven it shall drink water,

γῆ ἣν κύριος ὁ θεός σου ἐπισκοπεῖται αὐτήν διὰ παντὸς οἱ ὀφθαλμοὶ κυρίου τοῦ θεοῦ σου ἐπ᾿ αὐτῆς ἀπ᾿ ἀρχῆς τοῦ ἐνιαυτοῦ καὶ ἕως συντελείας τοῦ ἐνιαυτοῦ

a land which the LORD your God watches over; continually the eyes of the LORD your God are upon it from the beginning of the year to the end of the year.

ἐὰν δὲ ἀκοῇ εἰσακούσητε πάσας τὰς ἐντολὰς αὐτοῦ ὅσας ἐγὼ ἐντέλλομαί σοι σήμερον ἀγαπᾶν κύριον τὸν θεόν σου καὶ λατρεύειν αὐτῷ ἐξ ὅλης τῆς καρδίας σου καὶ ἐξ ὅλης τῆς ψυχῆς σου

And it shall be, if you truly hearken to all his commandments which I command you today — to love the LORD your God and to serve him with all your heart and with all your soul —

καὶ δώσει τὸν ὑετὸν τῇ γῇ σου καθ᾿ ὥραν πρόιμον καὶ ὄψιμον καὶ εἰσοίσεις τὸν σῖτόν σου καὶ τὸν οἶνόν σου καὶ τὸ ἔλαιόν σου

then he will give the rain to your land in its season, early and latter, and you will gather in your grain and your wine and your oil;

καὶ δώσει χορτάσματα ἐν τοῖς ἀγροῖς σου τοῖς κτήνεσίν σου καὶ φαγὼν καὶ ἐμπλησθεὶς

and he will give grass in your fields for your cattle, and you will eat and be filled.

πρόσεχε σεαυτῷ μὴ πλατυνθῇ ἡ καρδία σου καὶ παραβῆτε καὶ λατρεύσητε θεοῖς ἑτέροις καὶ προσκυνήσητε αὐτοῖς

Take heed to yourself, lest your heart be enlarged and you transgress and serve other gods and bow down to them;

καὶ θυμωθεὶς ὀργῇ κύριος ἐφ᾿ ὑμῖν καὶ συσχῇ τὸν οὐρανόν καὶ οὐκ ἔσται ὑετός καὶ ἡ γῆ οὐ δώσει τὸν καρπὸν αὐτῆς καὶ ἀπολεῖσθε ἐν τάχει ἀπὸ τῆς γῆς τῆς ἀγαθῆς ἧς ἔδωκεν ὁ κύριος ὑμῖν

and the LORD, being kindled with anger against you, shut up heaven, and there be no rain, and the land not give its fruit, and you swiftly perish from the good land which the LORD has given you.

καὶ ἐμβαλεῖτε τὰ ῥήματα ταῦτα εἰς τὴν καρδίαν ὑμῶν καὶ εἰς τὴν ψυχὴν ὑμῶν καὶ ἀφάψετε αὐτὰ εἰς σημεῖον ἐπὶ τῆς χειρὸς ὑμῶν καὶ ἔσται ἀσάλευτον πρὸ ὀφθαλμῶν ὑμῶν

And you shall lay up these words in your heart and in your soul, and you shall bind them as a sign upon your hand, and it shall be immovable before your eyes.

καὶ διδάξετε αὐτὰ τὰ τέκνα ὑμῶν λαλεῖν αὐτὰ καθημένους ἐν οἴκῳ καὶ πορευομένους ἐν ὁδῷ καὶ κοιταζομένους καὶ διανισταμένους

And you shall teach them to your children, to speak of them when sitting at home and when going on the road and when lying down and when rising up.

καὶ γράψετε αὐτὰ ἐπὶ τὰς φλιὰς τῶν οἰκιῶν ὑμῶν καὶ τῶν πυλῶν ὑμῶν

And you shall write them on the doorposts of your houses and of your gates,

ἵνα πολυημερεύσητε καὶ αἱ ἡμέραι τῶν υἱῶν ὑμῶν ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς ἧς ὤμοσεν κύριος τοῖς πατράσιν ὑμῶν δοῦναι αὐτοῖς καθὼς αἱ ἡμέραι τοῦ οὐρανοῦ ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς

that your days may be multiplied, and the days of your children, upon the land which the LORD swore to your fathers to give to them, as the days of heaven upon the earth.

καὶ ἔσται ἐὰν ἀκοῇ ἀκούσητε πάσας τὰς ἐντολὰς ταύτας ὅσας ἐγὼ ἐντέλλομαί σοι σήμερον ποιεῖν ἀγαπᾶν κύριον τὸν θεὸν ἡμῶν καὶ πορεύεσθαι ἐν πάσαις ταῖς ὁδοῖς αὐτοῦ καὶ προσκολλᾶσθαι αὐτῷ

For it shall be, if you truly hear all these commandments which I command you today to do — to love the LORD our God and to walk in all his ways and to cleave to him —

καὶ ἐκβαλεῖ κύριος πάντα τὰ ἔθνη ταῦτα ἀπὸ προσώπου ὑμῶν καὶ κληρονομήσετε ἔθνη μεγάλα καὶ ἰσχυρότερα μᾶλλον ἢ ὑμεῖς

then the LORD will drive out all these nations from before you, and you will dispossess nations greater and mightier than you.

πάντα τὸν τόπον οὗ ἐὰν πατήσῃ τὸ ἴχνος τοῦ ποδὸς ὑμῶν ὑμῖν ἔσται ἀπὸ τῆς ἐρήμου καὶ Ἀντιλιβάνου καὶ ἀπὸ τοῦ ποταμοῦ τοῦ μεγάλου ποταμοῦ Εὐφράτου καὶ ἕως τῆς θαλάσσης τῆς ἐπὶ δυσμῶν ἔσται τὰ ὅριά σου

Every place on which the print of the sole of your foot shall tread will be yours; from the wilderness and Antilebanon and from the river, the great river Euphrates, even to the sea on the west, shall be your borders.

οὐκ ἀντιστήσεται οὐδεὶς κατὰ πρόσωπον ὑμῶν τὸν τρόμον ὑμῶν καὶ τὸν φόβον ὑμῶν ἐπιθήσει κύριος ὁ θεὸς ὑμῶν ἐπὶ πρόσωπον πάσης τῆς γῆς ἐφ᾿ ἧς ἐὰν ἐπιβῆτε ἐπ᾿ αὐτῆς ὃν τρόπον ἐλάλησεν κύριος πρὸς ὑμᾶς

No one shall stand against you; the LORD your God will put the dread of you and the fear of you upon the face of all the land on which you set foot, as the LORD spoke to you.

ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ δίδωμι ἐνώπιον ὑμῶν σήμερον εὐλογίαν καὶ κατάραν

Behold, I set before you today a blessing and a curse:

τὴν εὐλογίαν ἐὰν ἀκούσητε τὰς ἐντολὰς κυρίου τοῦ θεοῦ ὑμῶν ἃς ἐγὼ ἐντέλλομαι ὑμῖν σήμερον

the blessing, if you hear the commandments of the LORD your God which I command you today;

καὶ τὰς κατάρας ἐὰν μὴ ἀκούσητε τὰς ἐντολὰς κυρίου τοῦ θεοῦ ὑμῶν ὅσας ἐγὼ ἐντέλλομαι ὑμῖν σήμερον καὶ πλανηθῆτε ἀπὸ τῆς ὁδοῦ ἧς ἐνετειλάμην ὑμῖν πορευθέντες λατρεύειν θεοῖς ἑτέροις οὓς οὐκ οἴδατε

and the curse, if you do not hear the commandments of the LORD your God which I command you today, and you turn aside from the way which I commanded you, going to serve other gods which you have not known.

καὶ ἔσται ὅταν εἰσαγάγῃ σε κύριος ὁ θεός σου εἰς τὴν γῆν εἰς ἣν διαβαίνεις ἐκεῖ κληρονομῆσαι αὐτήν καὶ δώσεις τὴν εὐλογίαν ἐπ᾿ ὄρος Γαριζιν καὶ τὴν κατάραν ἐπ᾿ ὄρος Γαιβαλ

And it shall be, when the LORD your God brings you into the land into which you are crossing there to inherit it, then you shall set the blessing upon Mount Gerizim and the curse upon Mount Ebal.

οὐκ ἰδοὺ ταῦτα πέραν τοῦ Ιορδάνου ὀπίσω ὁδὸν δυσμῶν ἡλίου ἐν γῇ Χανααν τὸ κατοικοῦν ἐπὶ δυσμῶν ἐχόμενον τοῦ Γολγολ πλησίον τῆς δρυὸς τῆς ὑψηλῆς

Are these not beyond the Jordan, behind, toward the way of the sunset, in the land of Canaan, the dwelling toward the west, near Gilgal, beside the high oak?

ὑμεῖς γὰρ διαβαίνετε τὸν Ιορδάνην εἰσελθόντες κληρονομῆσαι τὴν γῆν ἣν κύριος ὁ θεὸς ὑμῶν δίδωσιν ὑμῖν ἐν κλήρῳ πάσας τὰς ἡμέρας καὶ κληρονομήσετε αὐτὴν καὶ κατοικήσετε ἐν αὐτῇ

For you are crossing the Jordan to enter in to inherit the land which the LORD your God gives you for an inheritance all the days, and you shall inherit it and dwell in it.

καὶ φυλάξεσθε τοῦ ποιεῖν πάντα τὰ προστάγματα αὐτοῦ καὶ τὰς κρίσεις ταύτας ὅσας ἐγὼ δίδωμι ἐνώπιον ὑμῶν σήμερον

And you shall take care to do all his statutes and these judgments which I set before you today.
