Notes on this text (2)
- The Old Testament is translated from the Hebrew, not from the Septuagint read in the Orthodox Church; there are no deuterocanonical books.
- Katharevousa (learned 19th-century Greek), as in the CrossWire module (text from theword.gr).
1 Εάν εγερθή εν μέσω σου προφήτης ή ενυπνιαζόμενος ενύπνια και δώση εις σε σημείον ή τεράστιον,
1 If a prophet or a dreamer of dreams arises among you, and he gives you a sign or a wonder,
2 και αληθεύση το σημείον ή το τεράστιον, περί του οποίου ελάλησε προς σε, λέγων, Ας υπάγωμεν κατόπιν άλλων θεών τους οποίους δεν εγνώρισας, και ας λατρεύσωμεν αυτούς,
2 and the sign or the wonder comes to pass, of which he spoke to you, saying, “Let’s go after other gods” (which you have not known) “and let’s serve them,”
3 δεν θέλεις δώσει ακρόασιν εις τους λόγους του προφήτου εκείνου ή εκείνου του ενυπνιαζομένου ενύπνια· διότι δοκιμάζει εσάς Κύριος ο Θεός σας, διά να γνωρίση εάν αγαπάτε Κύριον τον Θεόν σας εξ όλης της καρδίας σας και εξ όλης της ψυχής σας.
3 you shall not listen to the words of that prophet, or to that dreamer of dreams; for Yahweh your God is testing you, to know whether you love Yahweh your God with all your heart and with all your soul.
4 Κύριον τον Θεόν σας θέλετε ακολουθεί και αυτόν θέλετε φοβείσθαι, και τας εντολάς αυτού θέλετε φυλάττει, και εις την φωνήν αυτού θέλετε υπακούει, και αυτόν θέλετε λατρεύει, και εις αυτόν θέλετε είσθαι προσκεκολλημένοι.
4 You shall walk after Yahweh your God, fear him, keep his commandments, and obey his voice. You shall serve him, and cling to him.
5 Εκείνος δε ο προφήτης ή εκείνος ο ενυπνιαζόμενος ενύπνια θέλει θανατωθή· διότι ελάλησεν αποστασίαν κατά Κυρίου του Θεού σας, όστις σας εξήγαγεν εκ γης Αιγύπτου και σας ελύτρωσεν εξ οίκου δουλείας, διά να σε αποπλανήση εκ της οδού, εις την οποίαν προσέταξεν εις σε Κύριος ο Θεός σου να περιπατής· και θέλεις εξαφανίσει το κακόν εκ μέσου σου.
5 That prophet, or that dreamer of dreams, shall be put to death, because he has spoken rebellion against Yahweh your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt and redeemed you out of the house of bondage, to draw you aside out of the way which Yahweh your God commanded you to walk in. So you shall remove the evil from among you.
6 Εάν ο αδελφός σου, ο υιός της μητρός σου, ή ο υιός σου ή η θυγάτηρ σου ή η γυνή του κόλπου σου, ή ο φίλος σου όστις είναι ως η ψυχή σου, σε παρακινήση κρυφίως, λέγων, Ας υπάγωμεν και ας λατρεύσωμεν άλλους θεούς, τους οποίους δεν εγνώρισας συ ούτε οι πατέρες σου,
6 If your brother, the son of your mother, or your son, or your daughter, or the wife of your bosom, or your friend who is as your own soul, entices you secretly, saying, “Let’s go and serve other gods”—which you have not known, you, nor your fathers;
7 εκ των θεών των εθνών, των πέριξ υμών, των πλησίον σου ή των μακράν από σου, απ' άκρου της γης έως άκρου της γης,
7 of the gods of the peoples who are around you, near to you, or far off from you, from the one end of the earth even to the other end of the earth—
8 δεν θέλεις συγκατανεύσει εις αυτόν, ουδέ θέλεις δώσει ακρόασιν εις αυτόν, ουδέ θέλει φεισθή αυτόν ο οφθαλμός σου, ουδέ θέλεις σπλαγχνισθή ουδέ θέλεις κρύψει αυτόν·
8 you shall not consent to him nor listen to him; neither shall your eye pity him, neither shall you spare, neither shall you conceal him;
9 αλλά εξάπαντος θέλεις θανατώσει αυτόν· η χειρ σου θέλει είσθαι πρώτη επ' αυτόν διά να θανατώσης αυτόν, και η χειρ παντός του λαού έπειτα.
9 but you shall surely kill him. Your hand shall be first on him to put him to death, and afterwards the hands of all the people.
10 Και θέλεις λιθοβολήσει αυτόν με λίθους, ώστε να αποθάνη· διότι εζήτησε να σε αποπλανήση από Κυρίου του Θεού σου, όστις σε εξήγαγεν εκ γης Αιγύπτου, εξ οίκου δουλείας.
10 You shall stone him to death with stones, because he has sought to draw you away from Yahweh your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
11 Και πας ο Ισραήλ ακούσας θέλει φοβηθή και δεν θέλει κάμει πλέον εν μέσω σου τοιούτον κακόν.
11 All Israel shall hear, and fear, and shall not do any more wickedness like this among you.
12 Εάν ακούσης εις τινά των πόλεών σου, τας οποίας Κύριος ο Θεός σου δίδει εις σε, διά να κατοικής εκεί, να λέγωσιν,
12 If you hear about one of your cities, which Yahweh your God gives you to dwell there, that
13 άνθρωποι παράνομοι εξήλθον εκ μέσου σου και επλάνησαν τους κατοίκους της πόλεως αυτών, λέγοντες, Ας υπάγωμεν και ας λατρεύσωμεν άλλους θεούς, τους οποίους δεν εγνωρίσατε,
13 certain wicked fellows have gone out from among you and have drawn away the inhabitants of their city, saying, “Let’s go and serve other gods,” which you have not known,
14 τότε θέλεις εξετάσει και ερωτήσει και ερευνήσει επιμελώς· και εάν ήναι αληθές και βέβαιον το πράγμα, ότι τοιούτον βδέλυγμα ενηργήθη εν μέσω σου,
14 then you shall inquire, investigate, and ask diligently. Behold, if it is true, and the thing certain, that such abomination was done among you,
15 εξάπαντος θέλεις πατάξει τους κατοίκους της πόλεως εκείνης εν στόματι μαχαίρας, εξολοθρεύων αυτήν και πάντας τους εν αυτή, και τα κτήνη αυτής, εν στόματι μαχαίρας.
15 you shall surely strike the inhabitants of that city with the edge of the sword, destroying it utterly, with all that is therein and its livestock, with the edge of the sword.
16 Και θέλεις συνάξει πάντα τα λάφυρα αυτής εν μέσω της πλατείας αυτής, και θέλεις καύσει εν πυρί την πόλιν και πάντα τα λάφυρα αυτής ολοκλήρως, εις Κύριον τον Θεόν σου· και θέλει είσθαι εις τον αιώνα ερείπια· δεν θέλει οικοδομηθή πλέον.
16 You shall gather all its plunder into the middle of its street, and shall burn with fire the city, with all of its plunder, to Yahweh your God. It shall be a heap forever. It shall not be built again.
17 Και δεν θέλει προσκολληθή εις την χείρα σου ουδέν εκ του αναθέματος· διά να επιστρέψη ο Κύριος από της εξάψεως του θυμού αυτού, και να δείξη προς σε έλεος, και να σε σπλαγχνισθή και να σε πολυπλασιάση, καθώς ώμοσε προς τους πατέρας σου,
17 Nothing of the devoted thing shall cling to your hand, that Yahweh may turn from the fierceness of his anger and show you mercy, and have compassion on you and multiply you, as he has sworn to your fathers,
18 όταν υπακούσης εις την φωνήν Κυρίου του Θεού σου, ώστε να φυλάττης πάσας τας εντολάς αυτού, τας οποίας εγώ προστάζω εις σε σήμερον, να πράττης το αρεστόν ενώπιον Κυρίου του Θεού σου.
18 when you listen to Yahweh your God’s voice, to keep all his commandments which I command you today, to do that which is right in Yahweh your God’s eyes.

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. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
When, therefore, it is said, "The Lord your God tempteth (proveth) you, that He may know if ye love Him," the words "that He may know" are employed for what is the real state of the case, that He may make you know: just as we speak of a joyful day, because it makes us joyful; of a sluggish frost, …

For there is another sort of temptation which is called a proving; of this kind of temptation it is written, "The Lord your God tempteth (proveth) you to know whether ye love Him." What means "to know"?

Thou hast it written, "God tempteth not any man;" and again thou hast it written, "The Lord your God tempteth you, to know whether you love Him." Just the point in dispute, you see.
