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 συμβή διαφορά μεταξύ ανθρώπων, και έλθωσιν εις την κρίσιν, και κρίνωσιν αυτούς, τότε θέλουσι δικαιώσει τον δίκαιον και καταδικάσει τον ένοχον.
1 If there is a controversy between men, and they come to judgment and the judges judge them, then they shall justify the righteous and condemn the wicked.
2 Και εάν ο ένοχος ήναι άξιος μαστιγώσεως, ο κριτής θέλει προστάξει να ρίψωσιν αυτόν κάτω, και κατά το πταίσμα αυτού να μαστιγώσωσιν αυτόν ενώπιον αυτού αριθμόν τινά.
2 It shall be, if the wicked man is worthy to be beaten, that the judge shall cause him to lie down and to be beaten before his face, according to his wickedness, by number.
3 Τεσσαράκοντα δύναται να μαστιγώση αυτόν, ουχί περισσότερον· μήποτε, εάν προσθέση να μαστιγώση αυτόν επέκεινα τούτων με πολλάς μαστιγώσεις, φανή ο αδελφός σου βδελυκτός εις τους οφθαλμούς σου.
3 He may sentence him to no more than forty stripes. He shall not give more, lest if he should give more and beat him more than that many stripes, then your brother will be degraded in your sight.
4 Δεν θέλεις εμφράξει το στόμα βοός αλωνίζοντος.
4 You shall not muzzle the ox when he treads out the grain.
5 Εάν συγκατοικώσιν αδελφοί, και αποθάνη εις εξ αυτών και δεν έχη τέκνα, η γυνή του αποθανόντος δεν θέλει υπανδρευθή με ξένον· ο αδελφός του ανδρός αυτής θέλει εισέλθει προς αυτήν, και θέλει λάβει αυτήν εις εαυτόν γυναίκα και εκπληρώσει το χρέος του ανδραδέλφου εις αυτήν.
5 If brothers dwell together, and one of them dies and has no son, the wife of the dead shall not be married outside to a stranger. Her husband’s brother shall go in to her, and take her as his wife, and perform the duty of a husband’s brother to her.
6 Και ο πρωτότοκος, τον οποίον γεννήση, θέλει ονομασθή με το όνομα του αποθανόντος αδελφού αυτού, και δεν θέλει εξαλειφθή το όνομα αυτού εκ του Ισραήλ.
6 It shall be that the firstborn whom she bears shall succeed in the name of his brother who is dead, that his name not be blotted out of Israel.
7 Εάν δε ο άνθρωπος δεν ευαρεστήται να λάβη την γυναίκα του αδελφού αυτού, τότε η γυνή του αδελφού αυτού ας αναβή εις την πύλην προς τους πρεσβυτέρους και ας είπη, Ο αδελφός του ανδρός μου αρνείται να αναστήση το όνομα του αδελφού αυτού εν τω Ισραήλ· δεν θέλει να εκπληρώση εις εμέ το χρέος του ανδραδέλφου.
7 If the man doesn’t want to take his brother’s wife, then his brother’s wife shall go up to the gate to the elders, and say, “My husband’s brother refuses to raise up to his brother a name in Israel. He will not perform the duty of a husband’s brother to me.”
8 Τότε οι πρεσβύτεροι της πόλεως αυτού θέλουσι καλέσει αυτόν και λαλήσει προς αυτόν· και εάν αυτός επιμένη, λέγων, Δεν ευαρεστούμαι να λάβω αυτήν,
8 Then the elders of his city shall call him, and speak to him. If he stands and says, “I don’t want to take her,”
9 τότε η γυνή του αδελφού αυτού θέλει ελθεί προς αυτόν ενώπιον των πρεσβυτέρων, και θέλει λύσει το υπόδημα αυτού από του ποδός αυτού και εμπτύσει εις το πρόσωπον αυτού, και αποκριθείσα θέλει ειπεί, Ούτω θέλει γίνεσθαι εις τον άνθρωπον, όστις δεν θέλει να οικοδομήση τον οίκον του αδελφού αυτού.
9 then his brother’s wife shall come to him in the presence of the elders, and loose his sandal from off his foot, and spit in his face. She shall answer and say, “So shall it be done to the man who does not build up his brother’s house.”
10 Και θέλει ονομάζεσθαι το όνομα αυτού εν τω Ισραήλ, Ο οίκος του έχοντος λελυμένου το υπόδημα.
10 His name shall be called in Israel, “The house of him who had his sandal removed.”
11 Εάν άνθρωποι μάχωνται προς αλλήλους, και η γυνή του ενός πλησιάση διά να ελευθερώση τον άνδρα αυτής εκ της χειρός του τύπτοντος αυτόν, και εκτείνασα την χείρα αυτής πιάση αυτόν από των κρυφίων αυτού,
11 When men strive against each other, and the wife of one draws near to deliver her husband out of the hand of him who strikes him, and puts out her hand, and grabs him by his private parts,
12 τότε θέλεις αποκόψει την χείρα αυτής· ο οφθαλμός σου δεν θέλει φεισθή.
12 then you shall cut off her hand. Your eye shall have no pity.
13 Δεν θέλεις έχει εν τω σακκίω σου διάφορα ζύγια, μεγάλον και μικρόν.
13 You shall not have in your bag diverse weights, one heavy and one light.
14 Δεν θέλεις έχει εν τη οικία σου διάφορα μέτρα, μεγάλον και μικρόν.
14 You shall not have in your house diverse measures, one large and one small.
15 Αληθινόν και δίκαιον ζύγιον θέλεις έχει αληθινόν και δίκαιον μέτρον θέλεις έχει διά να πληθύνωνται αι ημέραι σου επί της γης την οποίαν Κύριος ο Θεός σου δίδει εις σέ·
15 You shall have a perfect and just weight. You shall have a perfect and just measure, that your days may be long in the land which Yahweh your God gives you.
16 διότι πάντες οι πράττοντες ταύτα, πάντες οι πράττοντες αδικίαν, είναι βδέλυγμα εις Κύριον τον Θεόν σου.
16 For all who do such things, all who do unrighteously, are an abomination to Yahweh your God.
17 Ενθυμού τι έκαμεν εις σε ο Αμαλήκ εν τη οδώ, αφού εξήλθετε εξ Αιγύπτου·
17 Remember what Amalek did to you by the way as you came out of Egypt,
18 τίνι τρόπω αντεστάθη εις σε εν τη οδώ και απέκοψε τους οπισθίους σου, πάντας τους αδυνάτους τους όπισθέν σου, ενώ ήσο αποκαμωμένος και κεκοπιασμένος· και δεν εφοβήθη τον Θεόν.
18 how he met you by the way, and struck the rearmost of you, all who were feeble behind you, when you were faint and weary; and he didn’t fear God.
19 Διά τούτο, αφού Κύριος ο Θεός σου σοι έδωκεν ανάπαυσιν από πάντων των εχθρών σου κύκλω, εν τη γη την οποίαν Κύριος ο Θεός σου δίδει εις σε κληρονομίαν διά να κατακληρονομήσης αυτήν, τότε θέλεις εξαλείψει το μνημόσυνον του Αμαλήκ υποκάτωθεν του ουρανού· δεν θέλεις λησμονήσει.
19 Therefore it shall be, when Yahweh your God has given you rest from all your enemies all around, in the land which Yahweh your God gives you for an inheritance to possess it, that you shall blot out the memory of Amalek from under the sky. You shall not forget.

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).
And even if we were born from the brother of Him that is dead, yet are we named after the name of Him who is dead. We were begotten by the one, but begotten to the other.

… illustrations from common things, and had said, "Who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk thereof?" then he brings in the Scriptures also, saying, "It is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the ox that treadeth out the corn;" and again, "Even so hath the Lord ordained, that they which preach the gospel should …

One ought also to observe this, that the law was that when a man died without seed, this man's brother should take to wife the wife of the dead man and raise up seed to his brother.

The Apostle hath said, that of the preachers of the Gospel must be understood that which hath been written, "Of the ox treading out corn the mouth thou shalt not muzzle. Doth God care for oxen?" Therefore great are those rams, great the oxen.

The wife of him that died childless was to be given to his brother. For since death was an incurable ill, and all was contrived for life's sake; He makes a law that the living brother should marry her, and should call the child that is born by the name of the dead, so that his house should not utterly …
