Notes on this text (1)
- Ezra and Nehemiah form one book (2 Esdras) in this edition; the reader shows them as Ezra 1–10 and Nehemiah 1–13.
1 Καὶ ἔσται ἐὰν ἀκοῇ ἀκούσῃς τῆς φωνῆς Κυρίου τοῦ Θεοῦ σου, φυλάσσειν καὶ ποιεῖν πάσας τὰς ἐντολὰς ταύτας, ἃς ἐγὼ ἐντέλλομαί σοι σήμερον, καὶ δώσει σε Κύριος ὁ Θεός σου ὑπεράνω ἐπὶ πάντα τὰ ἔθνη τῆς γῆς,
1 It shall happen, if you shall listen diligently to Yahweh your God’s voice, to observe to do all his commandments which I command you today, that Yahweh your God will set you high above all the nations of the earth.
2 καὶ ἥξουσιν ἐπὶ σὲ πᾶσαι αἱ εὐλογίαι αὗται, καὶ εὑρήσουσί σε· ἐὰν ἀκοῇ ἀκούσῃς τῆς φωνῆς Κυρίου τοῦ Θεοῦ σου,
2 All these blessings will come upon you, and overtake you, if you listen to Yahweh your God’s voice.
3 εὐλογημένος σὺ ἐν πόλει, καὶ εὐλογημένος σὺ ἐν ἀγρῶ.
3 You shall be blessed in the city, and you shall be blessed in the field.
4 Εὐλογημένα τὰ ἔκγονα τῆς κοιλίας σου, καὶ τὰ γεννήματα τῆς γης σου, καὶ τὰ βουκόλια τῶν βοῶν σου, καὶ τὰ ποίμνια τῶν προβάτων σου.
4 You shall be blessed in the fruit of your body, the fruit of your ground, the fruit of your animals, the increase of your livestock, and the young of your flock.
5 Εὐλογημέναι αἱ ἀποθῆκαί σου, καὶ τὰ ἐγκαταλείμματά σου.
5 Your basket and your kneading trough shall be blessed.
6 Εὐλογημένος σὺ ἐν τῷ εἰσπορεύεσθαί σε, καὶ εὐλογημένος σὺ ἐν τῷ ἐκπορεύεσθαί σε.
6 You shall be blessed when you come in, and you shall be blessed when you go out.
7 Παραδῷ Κύριος ὁ Θεός σου τοὺς ἐχθρούς σου τοὺς ἀνθεστηκότας σοι συντετριμμένους πρὸ προσώπου σου· ὁδῷ μιᾷ ἐξελεύσονται πρὸς σέ, καὶ ἐν ἑπτὰ ὁδοῖς φεύξονται ἀπὸ προσώπου σου.
7 Yahweh will cause your enemies who rise up against you to be struck before you. They will come out against you one way, and will flee before you seven ways.
8 Ἀποστείλαι Κύριος ἐπὶ σὲ τὴν εὐλογίαν ἐν τοῖς ταμείοις σου, καὶ ἐπὶ πάντα οὗ ἂν ἐπιβάλῃς τὴν χεῖρά σου, ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς, ἧς Κύριος ὁ Θεός σου δίδωσί σοι.
8 Yahweh will command the blessing on you in your barns, and in all that you put your hand to. He will bless you in the land which Yahweh your God gives you.
9 Ἀναστήσαι σε Κύριος ἑαυτῷ λαὸν ἅγιον, ὃν τρόπον ὤμοσε τοῖς πατράσι σου· ἐὰν ἀκούσῃς τῆς φωνῆς Κυρίου τοῦ Θεοῦ σου, καὶ πορευθῇς ἐν πάσαις ταῖς ὁδοῖς αὐτοῦ,
9 Yahweh will establish you for a holy people to himself, as he has sworn to you, if you shall keep the commandments of Yahweh your God, and walk in his ways.
10 καὶ ὄψονταί σε πάντα τὰ ἔθνη τῆς γῆς, ὅτι τὸ ὄνομα Κυρίου ἐπικέκληταί σοι, καὶ φοβηθήσονταί σε.
10 All the peoples of the earth shall see that you are called by Yahweh’s name, and they will be afraid of you.
11 Καὶ πληθυνεῖ σε Κύριος ὁ Θεός σου εἰς ἀγαθὰ ἐν τοῖς ἐκγόνοις τῆς κοιλίας σου, καὶ ἐπὶ τοῖς ἐκγόνοις τῶν κτηνῶν σου, καὶ ἐπὶ τοῖς γεννήμασι τῆς γῆς σου, ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς σου ἧς ὤμοσε Κύριος τοῖς πατράσι σου δοῦναί σοι.
11 Yahweh will grant you abundant prosperity in the fruit of your body, in the fruit of your livestock, and in the fruit of your ground, in the land which Yahweh swore to your fathers to give you.
12 Ἀνοίξαι σοι Κύριος τὸν θησαυρὸν αὐτοῦ τὸν ἀγαθὸν, τὸν οὐρανὸν, δοῦναι τὸν ὑετὸν τῇ γῇ σου ἐπὶ καιροῦ· εὐλογῆσαι πάντα τὰ ἔργα τῶν χειρῶν σου· καὶ δανειεῖς ἔθνεσι πολλοῖς, σὺ δὲ οὐ δανειῇ. καὶ ἄρξεις σὺ ἐθνῶν πολλῶν, σοῦ δὲ οὐκ ἄρξουσι.
12 Yahweh will open to you his good treasure in the sky, to give the rain of your land in its season, and to bless all the work of your hand. You will lend to many nations, and you will not borrow.
13 Καταστήσαι σε Κύριος ὁ Θεός σου εἰς κεφαλὴν καὶ μὴ εἰς οὐρὰν, καὶ ἔσῃ τότε ἐπάνω καὶ οὐκ ἔσῃ ὑποκάτω, ἐὰν ἀκούσῃς τῆς φωνῆς Κυρίου τοῦ Θεοῦ σου, ὅσα ἐγὼ ἐντέλλομαί σοι σήμερον φυλάσσειν.
13 Yahweh will make you the head, and not the tail. You will be above only, and you will not be beneath, if you listen to the commandments of Yahweh your God which I command you today, to observe and to do,
14 Οὐ παραβήσῃ ἀπὸ πασῶν τῶν ἐντολῶν, ὧν ἐγὼ ἐντέλλομαί σοι σήμερον δεξιὰ οὐδὲ ἀριστερὰ, πορεύσεθαι ὀπίσω θεῶν ἑτέρων λατρεύειν αὐτοῖς.
14 and shall not turn away from any of the words which I command you today, to the right hand or to the left, to go after other gods to serve them.
15 Καὶ ἔσται ἐὰν μὴ εἰσακούσῃς τῆς φωνῆς Κυρίου τοῦ Θεοῦ σου, φυλάσσεσθαι πάσας τὰς ἐντολὰς αὐτοῦ, ὅσας ἐγὼ ἐντέλλομαί σοι σήμερον, καὶ ἐλεύσονται ἐπὶ σὲ πᾶσαι αἱ κατάραι αὗται, καὶ καταλήψονταί σε.
15 But it shall come to pass, if you will not listen to Yahweh your God’s voice, to observe to do all his commandments and his statutes which I command you today, that all these curses will come on you and overtake you.
16 Ἐπικατάρατος σὺ ἐν πόλει, καὶ ἐπικατάρατος σὺ ἐν ἀγρῷ.
16 You will be cursed in the city, and you will be cursed in the field.
17 Ἐπικατάρατοι αἱ ἀποθῆκαί σου, καὶ τὰ ἐγκαταλείμματά σου.
17 Your basket and your kneading trough will be cursed.
18 Ἐπικατάρατα τὰ ἔκγονα τῆς κοιλίας σου, καὶ τὰ γεννήματα τῆς γῆς σου, τὰ βουκόλια τῶν βοῶν σου, καὶ τὰ ποίμνια τῶν προβάτων σου·
18 The fruit of your body, the fruit of your ground, the increase of your livestock, and the young of your flock will be cursed.
19 Ἐπικατάρατος σὺ ἐν τῷ εἰσπορεύεσθαί σε, καὶ ἐπικατάρατος σὺ ἐν τῷ ἐκπορεύεσθαί σε.
19 You will be cursed when you come in, and you will be cursed when you go out.
20 Ἀποστείλαι Κύριος ἐπὶ σὲ τὴν ἔνδειαν καὶ τὴν ἐκλιμίαν καὶ τὴν ἀνάλωσιν ἐπὶ πάντα οὗ ἐὰν ἐπιβάλῃς τὴν χεῖρά σου, ἕως ἂν ἐξολοθρεύσῃ σε, καὶ ἕως ἂν ἀπολέσῃ σε ἐν τάχει διὰ τὰ πονηρὰ ἐπιτηδεύματά σου, διότι ἐνκατέλιπές με.
20 Yahweh will send on you cursing, confusion, and rebuke in all that you put your hand to do, until you are destroyed and until you perish quickly, because of the evil of your doings, by which you have forsaken me.
21 Προσκολλήσαι Κύριος εἰς σὲ τὸν θάνατον, ἕως ἂν ἐξαναλώσῃ σε ἀπὸ τῆς γῆς, εἰς ἣν εἰσπορεύῃ ἐκεῖ κληρονομῆσαι αὐτήν.
21 Yahweh will make the pestilence cling to you, until he has consumed you from off the land where you go in to possess it.
22 Πατάξαι σε Κύριος ἐν ἀπορίᾳ, καὶ πυρετῷ, καὶ ῥίγει, καὶ ἐρεθισμῷ, καὶ ἀνεμοφθορίᾳ, καὶ τῇ ὤχρᾳ, καὶ καταδιώξονταί σε ἕως ἂν ἀπολέσωσί σε.
22 Yahweh will strike you with consumption, with fever, with inflammation, with fiery heat, with the sword, with blight, and with mildew. They will pursue you until you perish.
23 Καὶ ἔσται σοι ὁ οὐρανὸς ὁ ὑπὲρ κεφαλῆς σου χαλκοῦς, καὶ ἡ γῆ ἡ ὑποκάτω σου σιδηρᾶ.
23 Your sky that is over your head will be bronze, and the earth that is under you will be iron.
24 Δῴη Κύριος ὁ Θεός σου τὸν ὑετὸν τῇς γῇς σου κονιορτὸν, καὶ χοῦς ἐκ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ καταβήσεται, ἕως ἂν ἐκτρίψῃ σε, καὶ ἕως ἂν ἀπολέσῃ σε ἐν τάχει.
24 Yahweh will make the rain of your land powder and dust. It will come down on you from the sky, until you are destroyed.
25 Δῴη σε Κύριος ἐπὶ κοπὴν ἐναντίον τῶν ἐχθρῶν· ἐν ὁδῷ μιᾷ ἐξελεύσῃ πρὸς αὐτοὺς, καὶ ἐν ἑπτὰ ὁδοῖς φεύξῃ ἀπὸ προσώπου αὐτῶν· καὶ ἔσῃ διασπορὰ ἐν πάσαις βασιλείαις τῆς γῆς.
25 Yahweh will cause you to be struck before your enemies. You will go out one way against them, and will flee seven ways before them. You will be tossed back and forth among all the kingdoms of the earth.
26 Καὶ ἔσονται οἱ νεκροὶ ὑμῶν κατάβρωμα τοῖς πετεινοῖς τοῦ οὐρανοῦ, καὶ τοῖς θηρίοις τῆς γῆς, καὶ οὐκ ἔσται ὁ ἐκφοβῶν.
26 Your dead bodies will be food to all birds of the sky, and to the animals of the earth; and there will be no one to frighten them away.
27 Πατάξαι σε Κύριος ἕλκει Αἰγυπτίῳ εἰς τὴν ἕδραν, καὶ ψώρᾳ ἀγρίᾳ, καὶ κνήφῃ, ὥστε μὴ δύνασθαί σε ἰαθῆναι.
27 Yahweh will strike you with the boils of Egypt, with the tumors, with the scurvy, and with the itch, of which you can not be healed.
28 Πατάξαι σε Κύριος παραπληξίᾳ, καὶ ἀορασίᾳ, καὶ ἐκστάσει διανοίας.
28 Yahweh will strike you with madness, with blindness, and with astonishment of heart.
29 Καὶ ἔσῃ ψηλαφῶν μεσημβρίας, ὡσεί τις ψηλαφήσαι τυφλὸς ἐν τῷ σκότει, καὶ οὐκ εὐοδώσει τὰς ὁδούς σου· καὶ ἔσῃ τότε ἀδικούμενος, καὶ διαρπαζόμενος πάσας τὰς ἡμέρας, καὶ οὐκ ἔσται ὁ βοηθῶν.
29 You will grope at noonday, as the blind gropes in darkness, and you shall not prosper in your ways. You will only be oppressed and robbed always, and there will be no one to save you.
30 Γυναῖκα λήψῃ, καὶ ἀνὴρ ἕτερος ἕξει αὐτήν· οἰκίαν οἰκοδομήσεις, καὶ οὐκ οἰκήσεις ἐν αὐτῇ· ἀμπελῶνα φυτεύσεις, καὶ οὐ μὴ τρυγήσεις αὐτόν.
30 You will betroth a wife, and another man shall lie with her. You will build a house, and you won’t dwell in it. You will plant a vineyard, and not use its fruit.
31 Ὁ μόσχος σου ἐσφαγμένος ἐναντίον σου, καὶ οὐ φάγῃ ἐξ αὐτοῦ· ὁ ὄνος σου ἡρπασμένος ἀπὸ σοῦ, καὶ οὐκ ἀποδοθήσεταί σοι· τὰ πρόβατά σου δεδομένα τοῖς ἐχθροῖς σου,
31 Your ox will be slain before your eyes, and you will not eat any of it. Your donkey will be violently taken away from before your face, and will not be restored to you. Your sheep will be given to your enemies, and you will have no one to save you.
32 καὶ οὐκ ἔσται σοι ὁ βοηθῶν. Οἱ υἱοί σου καὶ αἱ θυγατέρες σου δεδομέναι ἔθνει ἑτέρῳ, καὶ οἱ ὀφθαλμοί σου βλέψονται σφακελίζοντες εἰς αὐτὰ· οὐκ ἰσχύσει ἡ χείρ σου.
32 Your sons and your daughters will be given to another people. Your eyes will look and fail with longing for them all day long. There will be no power in your hand.
33 Τὰ ἐκφόρια τῆς γῆς σου, καὶ πάντας τοὺς πόνους σου φάγεται ἔθνος, ὃ οὐκ ἐπίστασαι· καὶ ἔσῃ ἀδικούμενος καὶ τεθραυσμένος πάσας τὰς ἡμέρας.
33 A nation which you don’t know will eat the fruit of your ground and all of your work. You will only be oppressed and crushed always,
34 Καὶ ἔσῃ παράπληκτος διὰ τὰ ὁράματα τῶν ὀφθαλμῶν σου, ἃ βλέψῃ.
34 so that the sights that you see with your eyes will drive you mad.
35 Πατάξαι σε Κύριος ἐν ἕλκει πονηρῷ ἐπὶ τὰ γόνατα καὶ ἐπὶ τὰς κνήμας, ὥστε μὴ δύνασθαι ἰαθῆναί σε ἀπὸ ἴχνους τῶν ποδῶν σου ἕως τῆς κορυφῆς σου.
35 Yahweh will strike you in the knees and in the legs with a sore boil, of which you cannot be healed, from the sole of your foot to the crown of your head.
36 Ἀπαγάγοι Κύριός σε καὶ τοὺς ἄρχοντάς σου, οὓς ἂν καταστήσῃς ἐπὶ σεαυτὸν, ἐπʼ ἔθνος ὃ οὐκ ἐπίστασαι σὺ καὶ οἱ πατέρες σου, καὶ λατρεύσεις ἐκεῖ θεοῖς ἑτέροις ξύλοις καὶ λίθοις.
36 Yahweh will bring you, and your king whom you will set over yourselves, to a nation that you have not known, you nor your fathers. There you will serve other gods of wood and stone.
37 Καὶ ἔσῃ ἐκεῖ ἐν αἰνίγματι καὶ παραβολῇ καὶ διηγήματι ἐν πᾶσι τοῖς ἔθνεσιν, εἰς οὓς ἂν ἀπαγάγῃ σε Κύριος ἐκεῖ.
37 You will become an astonishment, a proverb, and a byword among all the peoples where Yahweh will lead you away.
38 Σπέρμα πολὺ ἐξοίσεις εἰς τὸ πεδίον, καὶ ὀλίγα εἰσοίσεις, ὅτι κατέδεται αὐτὰ ἡ ἀκρίς·
38 You will carry much seed out into the field, and will gather little in, for the locust will consume it.
39 Ἀμπελῶνα φυτεύσεις καὶ κατεργᾷ, καὶ οἶνον οὐ πίεσαι οὐδὲ εὐφρανθήσῃ ἐξ αὐτοῦ, ὅτι καταφάγεται αὐτὰ ὁ σκώληξ.
39 You will plant vineyards and dress them, but you will neither drink of the wine, nor harvest, because worms will eat them.
40 Ἐλαῖαι ἔσονταί σοι ἐν πᾶσι τοὶς ὁρίοις σου, καὶ ἔλαιον οὐ χρίσῃ, ὅτι ἐκρυήσεται ἡ ἐλαία σου.
40 You will have olive trees throughout all your borders, but you won’t anoint yourself with the oil, for your olives will drop off.
41 Υἱοὺς καὶ θυγατέρας γεννήσεις καὶ οὐκ ἔσονται· ἀπελεύσονται γὰρ ἐν αἰχμαλωσίᾳ.
41 You will father sons and daughters, but they will not be yours, for they will go into captivity.
42 Πάντα τὰ ξύλινά σου, καὶ τὰ γεννήματα τῆς γῆς σου ἐξαναλώσει ἡ ἐρισύβη.
42 Locusts will consume all of your trees and the fruit of your ground.
43 Ὁ προσήλυτος ὅς ἐστιν ἐν σοὶ, ἀναβήσεται ἄνω ἄνω, σὺ δὲ καταβήσῃ κάτω κάτω.
43 The foreigner who is among you will mount up above you higher and higher, and you will come down lower and lower.
44 Οὗτος δανειεῖ σοι, σὺ δὲ τούτῳ οὐ δανειεῖς· οὗτος ἔσται κεφαλὴ, σὺ δὲ ἔσῃ οὐρά.
44 He will lend to you, and you won’t lend to him. He will be the head, and you will be the tail.
45 Καὶ ἐλεύσονται ἐπὶ σὲ πᾶσαι αἱ κατάραι αὗται, καὶ καταδιώξονταί σε, καὶ καταλήψονταί σε, ἔως ἂν ἐξολοθρεύσῃ σε, καὶ ἕως ἂν ἀπολέσῃ σε· ὅτι οὐκ εἰσήκουσας τῆς φωνῆς Κυρίου τοῦ Θεοῦ σου, φυλάξαι τὰς ἐντολὰς αὐτοῦ, καὶ τὰ δικαιώματα ὅσα ἐνετείλατό σοι.
45 All these curses will come on you, and will pursue you and overtake you, until you are destroyed, because you didn’t listen to Yahweh your God’s voice, to keep his commandments and his statutes which he commanded you.
46 Καὶ ἔσται ἐν σοὶ σημεῖα, καὶ τέρατα ἐν τῷ σπέρματί σου ἕως τοῦ αἰῶνος,
46 They will be for a sign and for a wonder to you and to your offspring forever.
47 ἀνθʼ ὧν οὐκ ἐλάτρευσας Κυρίῳ τῷ Θεῷ σου ἐν εὐφροσύνῃ καὶ ἀγαθῇ διανοίᾳ διὰ τὸ πλῆθος πάντων.
47 Because you didn’t serve Yahweh your God with joyfulness and with gladness of heart, by reason of the abundance of all things;
48 Καὶ λατρεύσεις τοῖς ἐχθροῖς σου, οὓς ἐπαποστελεῖ Κύριος ἐπὶ σέ, ἐν λιμῷ, καὶ ἐν δίψει, καὶ ἐν γυμνότητι, καὶ ἐν ἐκλείψει πάντων· καὶ ἐπιθήσῃ κλοιὸν σιδηροῦν ἐπὶ τὸν τράχηλόν σου, ἕως ἂν ἐξολοθρεύσῃ σε.
48 therefore you will serve your enemies whom Yahweh sends against you, in hunger, in thirst, in nakedness, and in lack of all things. He will put an iron yoke on your neck until he has destroyed you.
49 Ἐπάξει ἐπὶ σὲ Κύριος ἔθνος μακρόθεν ἀπʼ ἐσχάτου τῆς γῆς ὡσεὶ ὅρμημα ἀετοῦ, ἔθνος ὃ οὐκ ἀκούσῃ τῆς φωνῆς αὐτοῦ,
49 Yahweh will bring a nation against you from far away, from the end of the earth, as the eagle flies: a nation whose language you will not understand,
50 ἔθνος ἀναιδὲς προσώπῳ, ὅστις οὐ θαυμάσει πρόσωπον πρεσβύτου, καὶ νέον οὐκ ἐλεήσει.
50 a nation of fierce facial expressions, that doesn’t respect the elderly, nor show favor to the young.
51 Καὶ κατέδεται τὰ ἔγκονα τῶν κτηνῶν σου, καὶ τὰ γεννήματα τῆς γῆς σου, ὥστε μὴ καταλιπεῖν σοι σῖτον, οἶνον, ἔλαιον, τὰ βουκόλια τῶν βοῶν σου, καὶ τὰ ποίμνια τῶν προβάτων σου, ἕως ἂν ἀπολέσῃ σε.
51 They will eat the fruit of your livestock and the fruit of your ground, until you are destroyed. They also won’t leave you grain, new wine, oil, the increase of your livestock, or the young of your flock, until they have caused you to perish.
52 Καὶ ἐκτρίψῃ σε ἐν ταῖς πόλεσί σου, ἕως ἂν καθαιρεθῶσι τὰ τείχη τὰ ὑψηλὰ καὶ τὰ ὀχυρὰ, ἐφʼ οἷς σὺ πέποιθας ἐπʼ αὐτοῖς, ἐν πάσῃ τῇ γῇ σου· καὶ θλίψει σε ἐν ταῖς πόλεσί σου, αἷς ἔδωκέ σοι.
52 They will besiege you in all your gates until your high and fortified walls in which you trusted come down throughout all your land. They will besiege you in all your gates throughout all your land which Yahweh your God has given you.
53 Καὶ φαγῇ τὰ ἔκγονα τῆς κοιλίας σου, κρέα υἱῶν σου καὶ θυγατέρων σου, ὅσα ἔδωκέ σοι, ἐν τῇ στενοχωρίᾳ σου καὶ ἐν τῇ θλίψει σου, ἡ· θλίψει σε ὁ ἐχθρός σου.
53 You will eat the fruit of your own body, the flesh of your sons and of your daughters, whom Yahweh your God has given you, in the siege and in the distress with which your enemies will distress you.
54 Ὁ ἁπαλὸς ὁ ἐν σοὶ καὶ ὁ τρυφερὸς σφόδρα, βασκανεῖ τῷ ὀφθαλμῷ αὐτοῦ τὸν ἀδελφὸν αὐτοῦ, καὶ τὴν γυναῖκα τὴν ἐν τῷ κόλπῳ αὐτοῦ, καὶ τὰ καταλελειμμένα τέκνα, ἃ ἂν καταλειφθῇ
54 The man who is tender among you, and very delicate, his eye will be evil toward his brother, toward the wife whom he loves, and toward the remnant of his children whom he has remaining,
55 αὐτῷ, ὥστε δοῦναι ἑνὶ αὐτῶν ἀπὸ τῶν σαρκῶν τῶν τέκνων αὐτοῦ, ὧν ἂν κατέσθῃ διὰ τὸ μὴ καταλειφθῆναι αὐτῷ οὐδὲν ἐν τῇ στενοχωρίᾳ σου, καὶ ἐν τῇ θλίψει σου, ἡ· ἂν θλίψωσί σε οἱ ἐχθροί σου ἐν πάσαις ταῖς πόλεσί σου.
55 so that he will not give to any of them of the flesh of his children whom he will eat, because he has nothing left to him, in the siege and in the distress with which your enemy will distress you in all your gates.
56 Καὶ ἡ ἁπαλὴ ἐν ὑμῖν καὶ ἡ τρυφερά, ἧς οὐχὶ πεῖραν ἔλαβεν ὁ ποὺς αὐτῆς βαίνειν ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς διὰ τὴν τρυφερότητα καὶ διὰ τὴν ἁπαλότητα, βασκανεῖ τῷ ὀφθαλμῷ αὐτῆς τὸν ἄνδρα αὐτῆς τὸν ἐν κόλπῳ αὐτῆς, καὶ τὸν υἱὸν καὶ τὴν θυγατέρα αὐτῆς,
56 The tender and delicate woman among you, who would not venture to set the sole of her foot on the ground for delicateness and tenderness, her eye will be evil toward the husband that she loves, toward her son, toward her daughter,
57 καὶ τὸ κόριον αὐτῆς τὸ ἐξελθὸν διὰ τῶν μηρῶν αὐτῆς, καὶ τὸ τέκνον αὐτῆς ὃ ἐὰν τέκῃ· καταφάγεται γὰρ αὐτὰ διὰ τὴν ἔνδειαν πάντων κρυφῇ ἐν τῇ στενοχωρίᾳ σου, καὶ ἐν τῇ θλίψει σου, ἡ· θλίψει σε ὁ ἐχθρός σου ἐν ταῖς πόλεσί σου,
57 toward her young one who comes out from between her feet, and toward her children whom she bears; for she will eat them secretly for lack of all things in the siege and in the distress with which your enemy will distress you in your gates.
58 ἐὰν μὴ εἰσακούσῃς ποιεῖν πάντα τὰ ῥήματα τοῦ νόμου τούτου, τὰ γεγραμμένα ἐν τῷ βιβλίῳ τούτῳ, φοβεῖσθαι τὸ ὄνομα τὸ ἔντιμον τὸ θαυμαστὸν τοῦτο, ΚΥΡΙΟΝ τὸν ΘΕΟΝ σου.
58 If you will not observe to do all the words of this law that are written in this book, that you may fear this glorious and fearful name, YAHWEH your God,
59 Καὶ παραδοξάσει Κύριος τὰς πληγάς σου, καὶ τὰς πληγὰς τοῦ σπέρματός σου, πληγὰς μεγάλας καὶ θαυμαστὰς, καὶ νόσους πονηρὰς καὶ πιστάς.
59 then Yahweh will make your plagues and the plagues of your offspring fearful, even great plagues, and of long duration, and severe sicknesses, and of long duration.
60 Καὶ ἐπιστρέψει πᾶσαν τὴν ὀδύνην Αἰγύπτου τὴν πονηρὰν, ἣν διευλαβοῦ ἀπὸ προσώπου αὐτῶν, καὶ κολληθήσονται ἐν σοί.
60 He will bring on you again all the diseases of Egypt, which you were afraid of; and they will cling to you.
61 Καὶ πᾶσαν μαλακίαν, καὶ πᾶσαν πληγὴν τὴν μὴ γεγραμμένην, καὶ πᾶσαν τὴν γεγραμμένην ἐν τῷ βιβλίῳ τοῦ νόμου τούτου, ἐπάξει Κύριος ἐπὶ σέ, ἕως ἂν ἐξολοθρεύσῃ σε.
61 Also every sickness and every plague which is not written in the book of this law, Yahweh will bring them on you until you are destroyed.
62 Καὶ καταλειφθήσεσθε ἐν ἀριθμῷ βραχεῖ, ἀνθʼ ὧν ὅτι ἦτε ὡσεὶ τὰ ἄστρα τοῦ οὐρανοῦ τῷ πλήθει, ὅτι οὐκ εἰσήκουσας τῆς φωνῆς Κυρίου τοῦ Θεοῦ σου.
62 You will be left few in number, even though you were as the stars of the sky for multitude, because you didn’t listen to Yahweh your God’s voice.
63 Καὶ ἔσται ὃν τρόπον εὐφράνθη Κύριος ἐφʼ ὑμῖν εὖ ποιῆσαι ὑμᾶς, καὶ πληθῦναι ὑμᾶς, οὕτως εὐφρανθήσεται Κύριος ἐφʼ ὑμῖν ἐξολοθρεῦσαι ὑμᾶς· καὶ ἐξαρθήσεσθε ἐν τάχει ἀπὸ τῆς γῆς, εἰς ἣν εἰσπορεύῃ ἐκεῖ κληρονομῆσαι αὐτήν.
63 It will happen that as Yahweh rejoiced over you to do you good, and to multiply you, so Yahweh will rejoice over you to cause you to perish and to destroy you. You will be plucked from the land that you are going in to possess.
64 Καὶ διασπερεῖ σε Κύριος ὁ Θεός σου εἰς πάντα τὰ ἔθνη, ἀπʼ ἄκρου τῆς γῆς ἕως ἄκρου τῆς γῆς, καὶ δουλεύσεις ἐκεῖ θεοῖς ἑτέροις, ξύλοις καὶ λίθοις, οὓς οὐκ ἠπίστω σὺ καὶ οἱ πατέρες σου.
64 Yahweh will scatter you among all peoples, from one end of the earth to the other end of the earth. There you will serve other gods which you have not known, you nor your fathers, even wood and stone.
65 Ἀλλὰ καὶ ἐν τοῖς ἔθνεσιν ἐκείνοις οὐκ ἀναπαύσει σε, οὐδʼ οὐ μὴ γένηται στάσις τῷ ἴχνει τοῦ ποδός σου· καὶ δώσει σοι Κύριος ἐκεῖ καρδίαν ἑτέραν ἀπειθοῦσαν, καὶ ἐκλείποντας ὀφθαλμοὺς, καὶ τηκομένην ψυχήν.
65 Among these nations you will find no ease, and there will be no rest for the sole of your foot; but Yahweh will give you there a trembling heart, failing of eyes, and pining of soul.
66 Καὶ ἔσται ἡ ζωή σου κρεμαμένη ἀπέναντι τῶν ὀφθαλμῶν σου· καὶ φοβηθήσῃ ἡμέρας καὶ νυκτὸς, καὶ οὐ πιστεύσεις τῇ ζωῇ σου.
66 Your life will hang in doubt before you. You will be afraid night and day, and will have no assurance of your life.
67 Τὸ πρωῒ ἐρεῖς, πῶς ἂν γένοιτο ἑσπέρα· καὶ τὸ ἑσπέρας ἐρεῖς, πῶς ἂν γένοιτο πρωΐ· ἀπὸ τοῦ φόβου τῆς καρδίας σου ἃ φοβηθήσῃ, καὶ ἀπὸ τῶν ὁραμάτων τῶν ὀφθαλμῶν σου ὧν ὄψῃ.
67 In the morning you will say, “I wish it were evening!” and at evening you will say, “I wish it were morning!” for the fear of your heart which you will fear, and for the sights which your eyes will see.
68 Καὶ ἀποστρέψει σε Κύριος εἰς Αἴγυπτον ἐν πλοίοις, ἐν τῇ ὁδῷ ἡ· εἶπα, οὐ προσθήσῃ ἔτι ἰδεῖν αὐτήν· καὶ πραθήσεσθε ἐκεῖ τοῖς ἐχθροῖς ὑμῶν εἰς παῖδας καὶ παιδίσκας, καὶ οὐκ ἔσται ὁ κτώμενος.
68 Yahweh will bring you into Egypt again with ships, by the way of which I told you that you would never see it again. There you will offer yourselves to your enemies for male and female slaves, and nobody will buy you.

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse.
