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 Φύλαττε τον μήνα Αβίβ και κάμνε το πάσχα εις Κύριον τον Θεόν σου· επειδή εις τον μήνα Αβίβ σε εξήγαγε Κύριος ο Θεός σου εξ Αιγύπτου διά νυκτός.
1 Observe the month of Abib, and keep the Passover to Yahweh your God; for in the month of Abib Yahweh your God brought you out of Egypt by night.
2 Θέλεις λοιπόν θυσιάζει το πάσχα εις Κύριον τον Θεόν σου, πρόβατον και βουν, εν τω τόπω όντινα εκλέξη ο Κύριος διά να κατοικίση εκεί το όνομα αυτού.
2 You shall sacrifice the Passover to Yahweh your God, of the flock and the herd, in the place which Yahweh shall choose to cause his name to dwell there.
3 Δεν θέλεις τρώγει με αυτό ένζυμα· επτά ημέρας θέλεις τρώγει άζυμα με αυτό, άρτον θλίψεως, διότι μετά σπουδής εξήλθες εκ γης Αιγύπτου· διά να ενθυμήσαι την ημέραν της εξόδου σου εκ γης Αιγύπτου, πάσας τας ημέρας της ζωής σου.
3 You shall eat no leavened bread with it. You shall eat unleavened bread with it seven days, even the bread of affliction (for you came out of the land of Egypt in haste) that you may remember the day when you came out of the land of Egypt all the days of your life.
4 Και δεν θέλει φανή προζύμιον εις σε, κατά πάντα τα όριά σου, επτά ημέρας· και από του κρέατος, το οποίον εθυσίασας την πρώτην ημέραν προς το εσπέρας, δεν θέλει μείνει ουδέν έως πρωΐ.
4 No yeast shall be seen with you in all your borders seven days; neither shall any of the meat, which you sacrifice the first day at evening, remain all night until the morning.
5 Δεν δύνασαι να θυσιάσης το πάσχα εν ουδεμιά των πόλεών σου, τας οποίας Κύριος ο Θεός σου δίδει εις σέ·
5 You may not sacrifice the Passover within any of your gates which Yahweh your God gives you;
6 αλλ' εν τω τόπω, όντινα εκλέξη Κύριος ο Θεός σου διά να κατοικίση εκεί το όνομα αυτού, θέλεις θυσιάζει το πάσχα την εσπέραν, προς την δύσιν του ηλίου, εν τω καιρώ καθ' ον εξήλθες εξ Αιγύπτου.
6 but at the place which Yahweh your God shall choose to cause his name to dwell in, there you shall sacrifice the Passover at evening, at the going down of the sun, at the season that you came out of Egypt.
7 Και θέλεις εψήσει αυτό και φάγει εν τω τόπω όντινα εκλέξη Κύριος ο Θεός σου· και το πρωΐ θέλεις επιστρέφει και υπάγει εις τας κατοικίας σου.
7 You shall roast and eat it in the place which Yahweh your God chooses. In the morning you shall return to your tents.
8 Εξ ημέρας θέλεις τρώγει άζυμα· και την ημέραν την εβδόμην θέλει είσθαι σύναξις επίσημος εις Κύριον τον Θεόν σου· δεν θέλεις κάμει εργασίαν.
8 Six days you shall eat unleavened bread. On the seventh day shall be a solemn assembly to Yahweh your God. You shall do no work.
9 Επτά εβδομάδας θέλεις αριθμήσει εις σεαυτόν· άρχισον να αριθμής τας επτά εβδομάδας, αφού αρχίσης να βάλης το δρέπανον εις τα σπαρτά.
9 You shall count for yourselves seven weeks. From the time you begin to put the sickle to the standing grain you shall begin to count seven weeks.
10 Και θέλεις κάμει την εορτήν των εβδομάδων εις Κύριον τον Θεόν σου, μετά της ανηκούσης αυτοπροαιρέτου προσφοράς της χειρός σου, την οποίαν προσφέρης, όπως σε ευλόγησε Κύριος ο Θεός σου.
10 You shall keep the feast of weeks to Yahweh your God with a tribute of a free will offering of your hand, which you shall give according to how Yahweh your God blesses you.
11 Και θέλεις ευφρανθή ενώπιον Κυρίου του Θεού σου, συ και ο υιός σου και η θυγάτηρ σου και ο δούλός σου και η δούλη σου και ο Λευΐτης ο εντός των πυλών σου και ο ξένος και ο ορφανός και η χήρα, οίτινες είναι εν μέσω σου, εν τω τόπω όντινα εκλέξη Κύριος ο Θεός σου, διά να κατοικίση εκεί το όνομα αυτού.
11 You shall rejoice before Yahweh your God: you, your son, your daughter, your male servant, your female servant, the Levite who is within your gates, the foreigner, the fatherless, and the widow who are among you, in the place which Yahweh your God shall choose to cause his name to dwell there.
12 Και θέλεις ενθυμείσθαι ότι δούλος εστάθης εν Αιγύπτω· και θέλεις φυλάττει και εκτελεί ταύτα τα διατάγματα.
12 You shall remember that you were a slave in Egypt. You shall observe and do these statutes.
13 Θέλεις κάμνει την εορτήν της σκηνοπηγίας επτά ημέρας, αφού συνάξης τον σίτόν σου και τον οίνόν σου·
13 You shall keep the feast of booths seven days, after you have gathered in from your threshing floor and from your wine press.
14 και θέλεις ευφρανθή εν τη εορτή σου, συ και ο υιός σου και η θυγάτηρ σου και ο δούλός σου και η δούλη σου και ο Λευΐτης και ο ξένος και ο ορφανός και η χήρα, οίτινες είναι εντός των πυλών σου.
14 You shall rejoice in your feast, you, your son, your daughter, your male servant, your female servant, the Levite, the foreigner, the fatherless, and the widow who are within your gates.
15 Επτά ημέρας θέλεις εορτάζει εις Κύριον τον Θεόν σου, εν τω τόπω όντινα εκλέξη ο Κύριος· διότι Κύριος ο Θεός σου θέλει σε ευλογεί εις πάντα τα γεννήματά σου και εις πάντα τα έργα των χειρών σου· και θέλεις εξάπαντος ευφρανθή.
15 You shall keep a feast to Yahweh your God seven days in the place which Yahweh chooses, because Yahweh your God will bless you in all your increase and in all the work of your hands, and you shall be altogether joyful.
16 Τρίς του ενιαυτού θέλει εμφανίζεσθαι παν αρσενικόν σου ενώπιον Κυρίου του Θεού σου, εν τω τόπω όντινα εκλέξη· εν τη εορτή των αζύμων, και εν τη εορτή των εβδομάδων, και εν τη εορτή της σκηνοπηγίας· και δεν θέλουσιν εμφανίζεσθαι ενώπιον του Κυρίου κενοί.
16 Three times in a year all of your males shall appear before Yahweh your God in the place which he chooses: in the feast of unleavened bread, in the feast of weeks, and in the feast of booths. They shall not appear before Yahweh empty.
17 Έκαστος θέλει δίδει κατά την δύναμιν αυτού, κατά την ευλογίαν Κυρίου του Θεού σου, την οποίαν σοι έδωκε.
17 Every man shall give as he is able, according to Yahweh your God’s blessing which he has given you.
18 Κριτάς και άρχοντας θέλεις καταστήσει εις σεαυτόν κατά πάσας τας πόλεις σου, τας οποίας Κύριος ο Θεός σου δίδει εις σε κατά τας φυλάς σου· και θέλουσι κρίνει τον λαόν εν κρίσει δικαία.
18 You shall make judges and officers in all your gates, which Yahweh your God gives you, according to your tribes; and they shall judge the people with righteous judgment.
19 Δεν θέλεις διαστρέψει κρίσιν· δεν θέλεις αποβλέπει εις πρόσωπον ουδέ θέλεις λαμβάνει δώρον· διότι το δώρον τυφλόνει τους οφθαλμούς των σοφών και διαφθείρει τους λόγους των δικαίων.
19 You shall not pervert justice. You shall not show partiality. You shall not take a bribe, for a bribe blinds the eyes of the wise and perverts the words of the righteous.
20 Το δίκαιον, το δίκαιον θέλεις ακολουθεί· διά να ζήσης και να κληρονομήσης την γην, την οποίαν Κύριος ο Θεός σου δίδει εις σε.
20 You shall follow that which is altogether just, that you may live and inherit the land which Yahweh your God gives you.
21 Δεν θέλεις φυτεύσει εις σεαυτόν άλσος οποιωνδήποτε δένδρων πλησίον του θυσιαστηρίου Κυρίου του Θεού σου, το οποίον θέλεις κάμει εις σεαυτόν·
21 You shall not plant for yourselves an Asherah of any kind of tree beside Yahweh your God’s altar, which you shall make for yourselves.
22 ουδέ θέλεις στήσει εις σεαυτόν άγαλμα· τα οποία μισεί Κύριος ο Θεός σου.
22 Neither shall you set yourself up a sacred stone which Yahweh your God hates.

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).
… the passover within any other of thy cities which the Lord God gives thee; but in the place which the Lord thy God shall choose that His name be called on there, thou shalt sacrifice the passover at even, towards the setting of the sun."
… thy way; first be reconciled to thy brother, and then return and offer thy gift." We are bound, therefore, to offer to God the first-fruits of His creation, as Moses also says, "Thou shalt not appear in the presence of the Lord thy God empty;" so that man, being accounted as grateful, by those things in which he has shown …
