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 Όταν εξέλθης εις μάχην εναντίον των εχθρών σου, και ίδης ίππους και αμάξας, λαόν περισσότερον παρά σε, μη φοβηθής αυτούς· διότι Κύριος ο Θεός σου είναι μετά σου, όστις σε ανεβίβασεν εκ γης Αιγύπτου.
1 When you go out to battle against your enemies, and see horses, chariots, and a people more numerous than you, you shall not be afraid of them; for Yahweh your God, who brought you up out of the land of Egypt, is with you.
2 Και όταν πλησιάσητε εις την μάχην, ο ιερεύς θέλει προσέλθει και λαλήσει προς τον λαόν,
2 It shall be, when you draw near to the battle, that the priest shall approach and speak to the people,
3 και θέλει ειπεί προς αυτούς, Άκουε, Ισραήλ· σεις πλησιάζετε σήμερον εις την μάχην κατά των εχθρών σας· ας μη δειλιάση η καρδία σας, μη φοβηθήτε μηδέ τρομάξητε μηδέ εκπλαγήτε από προσώπου αυτών·
3 and shall tell them, “Hear, Israel, you draw near today to battle against your enemies. Don’t let your heart faint! Don’t be afraid, nor tremble, neither be scared of them;
4 διότι Κύριος ο Θεός σας είναι ο προπορευόμενος μεθ' υμών, διά να πολεμήση υπέρ υμών εναντίον των εχθρών σας, διά να σώση υμάς.
4 for Yahweh your God is he who goes with you, to fight for you against your enemies, to save you.”
5 Και οι άρχοντες θέλουσι λαλήσει προς τον λαόν, λέγοντες, Τις άνθρωπος ωκοδόμησεν οικίαν νέαν και δεν έκαμεν εγκαινιασμόν αυτής; ας αναχωρήση και ας επιστρέψη εις την οικίαν αυτού, μήποτε αποθάνη εν τη μάχη και εγκαινιάση αυτήν άλλος άνθρωπος.
5 The officers shall speak to the people, saying, “What man is there who has built a new house, and has not dedicated it? Let him go and return to his house, lest he die in the battle, and another man dedicate it.
6 Και τις άνθρωπος εφύτευσεν αμπελώνα και δεν ευφράνθη εξ αυτού; ας αναχωρήση και ας επιστρέψη εις την οικίαν αυτού, μήποτε αποθάνη εν τη μάχη, και ευφρανθή εξ αυτού άλλος άνθρωπος.
6 What man is there who has planted a vineyard, and has not used its fruit? Let him go and return to his house, lest he die in the battle, and another man use its fruit.
7 Και τις άνθρωπος ηρραβωνίσθη γυναίκα και δεν έλαβεν αυτήν; ας αναχωρήση και ας επιστρέψη εις την οικίαν αυτού, μήποτε αποθάνη εν τη μάχη, και λάβη αυτήν άλλος άνθρωπος.
7 What man is there who has pledged to be married to a wife, and has not taken her? Let him go and return to his house, lest he die in the battle, and another man take her.”
8 Και οι άρχοντες θέλουσι λαλήσει έτι προς τον λαόν και θέλουσιν ειπεί, Τις άνθρωπος είναι δειλός και άκαρδος; ας αναχωρήση και ας επιστρέψη εις την οικίαν αυτού, διά να μη δειλιάση η καρδία των αδελφών αυτού, ως η καρδία αυτού.
8 The officers shall speak further to the people, and they shall say, “What man is there who is fearful and faint-hearted? Let him go and return to his house, lest his brother’s heart melt as his heart.”
9 Και αφού τελειώσωσιν οι άρχοντες λαλούντες προς τον λαόν, θέλουσι καταστήσει αρχηγούς των στρατευμάτων, διά να προΐστανται του λαού.
9 It shall be, when the officers have finished speaking to the people, that they shall appoint captains of armies at the head of the people.
10 Όταν πλησιάσης εις πόλιν διά να εκπολεμήσης αυτήν, τότε κάλεσον αυτήν εις ειρήνην·
10 When you draw near to a city to fight against it, then proclaim peace to it.
11 και εάν σοι αποκριθή ειρηνικά και ανοίξη εις σε, τότε πας ο λαός ο ευρισκόμενος εν αυτή θέλει γείνει υποτελής εις σε και θέλει σε δουλεύει·
11 It shall be, if it gives you answer of peace and opens to you, then it shall be that all the people who are found therein shall become forced laborers to you, and shall serve you.
12 εάν όμως δεν κάμη ειρήνην μετά σου, αλλά σε πολεμήση τότε θέλεις πολιορκήσει αυτήν·
12 If it will make no peace with you, but will make war against you, then you shall besiege it.
13 και αφού Κύριος ο Θεός σου παραδώση αυτήν εις τας χείρας σου, θέλεις πατάξει πάντα τα αρσενικά αυτής εν στόματι μαχαίρας·
13 When Yahweh your God delivers it into your hand, you shall strike every male of it with the edge of the sword;
14 τας δε γυναίκας και τα βρέφη και τα κτήνη και πάντα όσα ευρίσκονται εν τη πόλει, πάντα τα λάφυρα αυτής, θέλεις λάβει εις σεαυτόν· και θέλεις τρώγει τα λάφυρα των εχθρών σου, όσα Κύριος ο Θεός σου έδωκεν εις σε.
14 but the women, the little ones, the livestock, and all that is in the city, even all its plunder, you shall take for plunder for yourself. You may use the plunder of your enemies, which Yahweh your God has given you.
15 Ούτω θέλεις κάμει εις πάσας τας πόλεις τας πολύ μακράν από σου, αίτινες δεν είναι εκ των πόλεων των εθνών τούτων·
15 Thus you shall do to all the cities which are very far off from you, which are not of the cities of these nations.
16 εκ των πόλεων όμως των λαών τούτων, τας οποίας Κύριος ο Θεός σου δίδει εις σε κληρονομίαν, δεν θέλεις αφήσει ζων ουδέν έχον πνοήν·
16 But of the cities of these peoples that Yahweh your God gives you for an inheritance, you shall save alive nothing that breathes;
17 αλλά θέλεις εξολοθρεύσει αυτούς κατά κράτος, τους Χετταίους και τους Αμορραίους τους Χαναναίους και τους Φερεζαίους τους Ευαίους και τους Ιεβουσαίους, καθώς προσέταξεν εις σε Κύριος ο Θεός σου·
17 but you shall utterly destroy them: the Hittite, the Amorite, the Canaanite, the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite, as Yahweh your God has commanded you;
18 διά να μη σας διδάξωσι να πράττητε κατά πάντα τα βδελύγματα αυτών, τα οποία έκαμον εις τους θεούς αυτών, και αμαρτήσητε εναντίον Κυρίου του Θεού σας.
18 that they not teach you to follow all their abominations, which they have done for their gods; so would you sin against Yahweh your God.
19 Όταν πολιορκής πόλιν τινά ημέρας πολλάς, πολεμών αυτήν διά να εξουσιάσης αυτήν, δεν θέλεις εξολοθρεύσει τα δένδρα αυτής, καταφέρων επ' αυτά πέλεκυν· διότι εξ αυτών δύνασαι να τρέφησαι και δεν θέλεις κόψει αυτά. Μήπως είναι άνθρωπος το δένδρον του αγρού, ώστε να έλθη εναντίον σου εν τη πολιορκία;
19 When you shall besiege a city a long time, in making war against it to take it, you shall not destroy its trees by wielding an ax against them; for you may eat of them. You shall not cut them down, for is the tree of the field man, that it should be besieged by you?
20 Μόνον τα δένδρα, όσα γνωρίζεις ότι δεν είναι δένδρα τροφής, ταύτα θέλεις εξολοθρεύσει και εκκόψει και θέλεις οικοδομήσει περιχαρακώματα εναντίον της πόλεως, ήτις πολεμεί προς σε, εωσού παραδοθή.
20 Only the trees that you know are not trees for food, you shall destroy and cut them down. You shall build bulwarks against the city that makes war with you, until it falls.
