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 Οι ιερείς οι Λευΐται, πάσα η φυλή του Λευΐ, δεν θέλουσιν έχει μερίδα ούτε κληρονομίαν μετά του Ισραήλ· τας διά πυρός γινομένας προσφοράς του Κυρίου και την κληρονομίαν αυτού θέλουσι τρώγει.
1 The priests and the Levites—all the tribe of Levi—shall have no portion nor inheritance with Israel. They shall eat the offerings of Yahweh made by fire and his portion.
2 Διά τούτο κληρονομίαν δεν θέλουσιν έχει μεταξύ των αδελφών αυτών· ο Κύριος είναι η κληρονομία αυτών, καθώς είπε προς αυτούς.
2 They shall have no inheritance among their brothers. Yahweh is their inheritance, as he has spoken to them.
3 Και τούτο θέλει είσθαι το δικαίωμα των ιερέων παρά του λαού, παρά των θυσιαζόντων τας θυσίας, είτε βουν είτε πρόβατον· θέλουσι δίδει εις τον ιερέα τον ώμον και τας σιαγόνας και την κοιλίαν.
3 This shall be the priests’ due from the people, from those who offer a sacrifice, whether it be ox or sheep, that they shall give to the priest: the shoulder, the two cheeks, and the inner parts.
4 Τας απαρχάς του σίτου σου, του οίνου σου και του ελαίου σου, και το πρώτον του μαλλίου των προβάτων σου, θέλεις δίδει εις αυτόν.
4 You shall give him the first fruits of your grain, of your new wine, and of your oil, and the first of the fleece of your sheep.
5 διότι αυτόν εξέλεξε Κύριος ο Θεός σου εκ πασών των φυλών σου, διά να παρίσταται να λειτουργή εις το όνομα του Κυρίου, αυτός και οι υιοί αυτού διαπαντός.
5 For Yahweh your God has chosen him out of all your tribes to stand to minister in Yahweh’s name, him and his sons forever.
6 Και εάν έλθη Λευΐτης εκ τινός των πόλεών σου από παντός του Ισραήλ, όπου παροικεί, και έλθη μεθ' όλου του πόθου της ψυχής αυτού, εις τον τόπον όντινα εκλέξη ο Κύριος,
6 If a Levite comes from any of your gates out of all Israel where he lives, and comes with all the desire of his soul to the place which Yahweh shall choose,
7 τότε θέλει λειτουργεί εις το όνομα Κυρίου του Θεού αυτού, καθώς πάντες οι αδελφοί αυτού οι Λευΐται, οι παριστάμενοι εκεί ενώπιον του Κυρίου.
7 then he shall minister in the name of Yahweh his God, as all his brothers the Levites do, who stand there before Yahweh.
8 Ίσας μερίδας θέλουσι τρώγει εκτός του προερχομένου εκ της πωλήσεως της πατρικής αυτού περιουσίας.
8 They shall have like portions to eat, in addition to that which comes from the sale of his family possessions.
9 Αφού εισέλθης εις την γην, την οποίαν Κύριος ο Θεός σου δίδει εις σε, δεν θέλεις μάθει να πράττης κατά τα βδελύγματα των εθνών εκείνων.
9 When you have come into the land which Yahweh your God gives you, you shall not learn to imitate the abominations of those nations.
10 Δεν θέλει ευρεθή εις σε ουδείς διαπερνών τον υιόν αυτού ή την θυγατέρα αυτού διά του πυρός, ή μαντευόμενος μαντείαν ή προγνώστης των καιρών ή οιωνοσκόπος ή μάγος,
10 There shall not be found with you anyone who makes his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, one who uses divination, one who tells fortunes, or an enchanter, or a sorcerer,
11 ή γόης ή ανταποκριτής δαιμονίων ή τερατοσκόπος ή νεκρόμαντις.
11 or a charmer, or someone who consults with a familiar spirit, or a wizard, or a necromancer.
12 Διότι πας ο πράττων ταύτα είναι βδέλυγμα εις τον Κύριον· και εξ αιτίας των βδελυγμάτων τούτων Κύριος ο Θεός σου εκδιώκει αυτούς απ' έμπροσθέν σου.
12 For whoever does these things is an abomination to Yahweh. Because of these abominations, Yahweh your God drives them out from before you.
13 Τέλειος θέλεις είσθαι ενώπιον Κυρίου του Θεού σου.
13 You shall be blameless with Yahweh your God.
14 Διότι τα έθνη ταύτα, τα οποία θέλεις κατακληρονομήσει, έδωκαν ακρόασιν εις προγνώστας των καιρών και εις μάντεις· σε όμως Κύριος ο Θεός σου δεν αφήκε να πράττης ούτω.
14 For these nations that you shall dispossess listen to those who practice sorcery and to diviners; but as for you, Yahweh your God has not allowed you so to do.
15 Προφήτην εκ μέσου σου θέλει αναστήσει εις σε Κύριος ο Θεός σου εκ των αδελφών σου, ως εμέ· αυτού θέλετε ακούει·
15 Yahweh your God will raise up to you a prophet from among you, of your brothers, like me. You shall listen to him.
16 κατά πάντα όσα εζήτησας παρά Κυρίου του Θεού σου εν Χωρήβ εν τη ημέρα της συνάξεως, λέγων, Ας μη ακούσω πλέον την φωνήν Κυρίου του Θεού μου, μηδέ να ίδω πλέον το μέγα τούτο πυρ, διά να μη αποθάνω.
16 This is according to all that you desired of Yahweh your God in Horeb in the day of the assembly, saying, “Let me not hear again Yahweh my God’s voice, neither let me see this great fire any more, that I not die.”
17 Και είπε Κύριος προς εμέ, Καλώς έχουσιν όσα ελάλησαν.
17 Yahweh said to me, “They have well said that which they have spoken.
18 Προφήτην εκ μέσου των αδελφών αυτών θέλω αναστήσει εις αυτούς, ως σε, και θέλω βάλει τους λόγους μου εις το στόμα αυτού, και θέλει λαλεί προς αυτούς πάντα όσα εγώ προστάζω εις αυτόν·
18 I will raise them up a prophet from among their brothers, like you. I will put my words in his mouth, and he shall speak to them all that I shall command him.
19 Και ο άνθρωπος όστις δεν υπακούση εις τους λόγους μου, τους οποίους αυτός θέλει λαλήσει εν τω ονόματί μου, εγώ θέλω εκζητήσει τούτο παρ' αυτού.
19 It shall happen, that whoever will not listen to my words which he shall speak in my name, I will require it of him.
20 Ο προφήτης όμως όστις ασεβήση και λαλήση εν τω ονόματί μου λόγον τον οποίον εγώ δεν προσέταξα εις αυτόν να λαλήση, ή όστις λαλήση εν τω ονόματι άλλων θεών, ο προφήτης εκείνος θέλει θανατωθή.
20 But the prophet who speaks a word presumptuously in my name, which I have not commanded him to speak, or who speaks in the name of other gods, that same prophet shall die.”
21 Και εάν είπης εν τη καρδία σου, Πως θέλομεν γνωρίσει τον λόγον, τον οποίον ο Κύριος δεν ελάλησεν;
21 You may say in your heart, “How shall we know the word which Yahweh has not spoken?”
22 Όταν τις προφήτης λαλήση εν τω ονόματι του Κυρίου και ο λόγος δεν γείνη ουδέ συμβή, ούτος είναι ο λόγος τον οποίον ο Κύριος δεν ελάλησεν· ελάλησεν αυτόν ο προφήτης εν υπερηφανία· δεν θέλετε φοβηθή απ' αυτού.
22 When a prophet speaks in Yahweh’s name, if the thing doesn’t follow, nor happen, that is the thing which Yahweh has not spoken. The prophet has spoken it presumptuously. You shall not be afraid of him.

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).
… "They shall have no inheritance, for the Lord Himself is their inheritance." And again, "The priests the Levites shall have no part in the whole tribe of Levi, nor substance with Israel; their substance is the offerings (fructifications) of the Lord: these shall they eat." Wherefore also Paul says, "I do not seek after a gift, but I seek after …
… prophet indeed He was; for it was of Himself He said, that "a prophet is not without honor, save in his own country." Again, of Him it was said to Moses, "A Prophet will I raise up to them of their brethren, like unto thee." Like, namely, as to the form of the flesh, but not in the eminence of …

Moses then, the prophet, saith, A Prophet shall the Lord your God raise up unto you of your brethren, like unto me: but let that "like unto me" be reserved awhile to be examined in its proper place.
