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 Και όταν έλθωσιν επί σε πάντα τα πράγματα ταύτα, η ευλογία και η κατάρα, την οποίαν έθεσα ενώπιόν σου, και ανακαλέσης ταύτα εις την καρδίαν σου εν τω μέσω πάντων των εθνών, όπου αν διασκορπίση σε Κύριος ο Θεός σου,
1 It shall happen, when all these things have come on you, the blessing and the curse, which I have set before you, and you shall call them to mind among all the nations where Yahweh your God has driven you,
2 και επιστραφής προς Κύριον τον Θεόν σου και υπακούσης εις την φωνήν αυτού, κατά πάντα όσα εγώ προστάζω εις σε σήμερον, συ και τα τέκνα σου, εξ όλης της καρδίας σου και εξ όλης της ψυχής σου,
2 and return to Yahweh your God and obey his voice according to all that I command you today, you and your children, with all your heart and with all your soul,
3 τότε Κύριος ο Θεός σου θέλει σε επαναφέρει εκ της αιχμαλωσίας, και θέλει σε σπλαγχνισθή, και πάλιν θέλει σε συνάξει εκ πάντων των εθνών, όπου σε διεσκόρπισε Κύριος ο Θεός σου·
3 that then Yahweh your God will release you from captivity, have compassion on you, and will return and gather you from all the peoples where Yahweh your God has scattered you.
4 και εις τα έσχατα του ουρανού αν ήναι η διασπορά σου, εκείθεν θέλει σε συνάξει Κύριος ο Θεός σου και εκείθεν θέλει σε λάβει,
4 If your outcasts are in the uttermost parts of the heavens, from there Yahweh your God will gather you, and from there he will bring you back.
5 και θέλει σε εισαγάγει Κύριος ο Θεός σου εις την γην, την οποίαν εκληρονόμησαν οι πατέρες σου, και θέλεις κληρονομήσει αυτήν· και θέλει σε αγαθοποιήσει και σε πολλαπλασιάσει υπέρ τους πατέρας σου.
5 Yahweh your God will bring you into the land which your fathers possessed, and you will possess it. He will do you good, and increase your numbers more than your fathers.
6 Και θέλει περιτέμει Κύριος ο Θεός σου την καρδίαν σου και την καρδίαν του σπέρματός σου, διά να αγαπάς Κύριον τον Θεόν σου εξ όλης της καρδίας σου και εξ όλης της ψυχής σου, διά να ζης.
6 Yahweh your God will circumcise your heart, and the heart of your offspring, to love Yahweh your God with all your heart and with all your soul, that you may live.
7 Και θέλει επιφέρει Κύριος ο Θεός σου πάσας τας κατάρας ταύτας επί τους εχθρούς σου και επί τους μισούντάς σε, οίτινες σε κατεδίωξαν.
7 Yahweh your God will put all these curses on your enemies and on those who hate you, who persecuted you.
8 Και συ θέλεις επιστραφή και υπακούσει εις την φωνήν του Κυρίου, και θέλεις εκτελεί πάσας τας εντολάς αυτού, τας οποίας εγώ προστάζω εις σε σήμερον.
8 You shall return and obey Yahweh’s voice, and do all his commandments which I command you today.
9 Και θέλει σε πληθύνει Κύριος ο Θεός σου εις πάντα τα έργα των χειρών σου, εις τον καρπόν της κοιλίας σου και εις τον καρπόν των κτηνών σου και εις τα γεννήματα της γης σου, εις αγαθόν· διότι ο Κύριος θέλει ευφρανθή πάλιν επί σε εις αγαθόν, καθώς ευφράνθη επί τους πατέρας σου,
9 Yahweh your God will make you prosperous in all the work of your hand, in the fruit of your body, in the fruit of your livestock, and in the fruit of your ground, for good; for Yahweh will again rejoice over you for good, as he rejoiced over your fathers,
10 εάν υπακούσης εις την φωνήν Κυρίου του Θεού σου, ώστε να φυλάττης τας εντολάς αυτού και τα διατάγματα αυτού, τα γεγραμμένα εν τω βιβλίω του νόμου τούτου· εάν επιστραφής προς Κύριον τον Θεόν σου εξ όλης της καρδίας σου και εξ όλης της ψυχής σου.
10 if you will obey Yahweh your God’s voice, to keep his commandments and his statutes which are written in this book of the law, if you turn to Yahweh your God with all your heart and with all your soul.
11 Επειδή η εντολή αύτη, την οποίαν εγώ προστάζω εις σε σήμερον, δεν είναι πολλά βαρεία διά σε, ουδέ μακράν.
11 For this commandment which I command you today is not too hard for you or too distant.
12 Δεν είναι εν τω ουρανώ, ώστε να είπης, Τις θέλει αναβή δι' ημάς εις τον ουρανόν και φέρει αυτήν προς ημάς, διά να ακούσωμεν αυτήν και να εκτελέσωμεν αυτήν;
12 It is not in heaven, that you should say, “Who will go up for us to heaven, bring it to us, and proclaim it to us, that we may do it?”
13 ουδέ πέραν της θαλάσσης είναι, ώστε να είπης, Τις θέλει διαπεράσει την θάλασσαν δι' ημάς και φέρει αυτήν προς ημάς, διά να ακούσωμεν αυτήν και να εκτελέσωμεν αυτήν;
13 Neither is it beyond the sea, that you should say, “Who will go over the sea for us, bring it to us, and proclaim it to us, that we may do it?”
14 Αλλά πολύ πλησίον σου είναι ο λόγος, εν τω στόματί σου και εν τη καρδία σου, διά να εκτελής αυτόν.
14 But the word is very near to you, in your mouth and in your heart, that you may do it.
15 Ιδού, εγώ έθεσα ενώπιόν σου σήμερον την ζωήν και το αγαθόν, και τον θάνατον και το κακόν·
15 Behold, I have set before you today life and prosperity, and death and evil.
16 καθότι εγώ προστάζω εις σε σήμερον να αγαπάς Κύριον τον Θεόν σου, να περιπατής εις τας οδούς αυτού και να φυλάττης τας εντολάς αυτού και τα διατάγματα αυτού και τας κρίσεις αυτού, διά να ζης και να πληθύνησαι και διά να σε ευλογήση Κύριος ο Θεός σου εν τη γη, εις την οποίαν εισέρχεσαι διά να κληρονομήσης αυτήν.
16 For I command you today to love Yahweh your God, to walk in his ways and to keep his commandments, his statutes, and his ordinances, that you may live and multiply, and that Yahweh your God may bless you in the land where you go in to possess it.
17 Εάν όμως παρεκτραπή η καρδία σου και δεν υπακούσης, αλλά αποπλανηθής και προσκυνήσης άλλους θεούς και λατρεύσης αυτούς,
17 But if your heart turns away, and you will not hear, but are drawn away and worship other gods, and serve them,
18 εγώ αναγγέλλω προς εσάς σήμερον ότι εξάπαντος θέλετε αφανισθή· δεν θέλετε μακροημερεύσει επί της γης, προς την οποίαν διαβαίνεις τον Ιορδάνην, διά να εισέλθητε εκεί να κατακληρονομήσητε αυτήν.
18 I declare to you today that you will surely perish. You will not prolong your days in the land where you pass over the Jordan to go in to possess it.
19 Διαμαρτύρομαι προς εσάς σήμερον τον ουρανόν και την γην, ότι έθεσα ενώπιόν σας την ζωήν και τον θάνατον, την ευλογίαν και την κατάραν· διά τούτο εκλέξατε την ζωήν, διά να ζήτε συ και το σπέρμα σου·
19 I call heaven and earth to witness against you today that I have set before you life and death, the blessing and the curse. Therefore choose life, that you may live, you and your descendants,
20 διά να αγαπάς Κύριον τον Θεόν σου, διά να υπακούης εις την φωνήν αυτού, και διά να ήσαι προσηλωμένος εις αυτόν· διότι τούτο είναι η ζωή σου και η μακρότης των ημερών σου· διά να κατοικής επί της γης, την οποίαν ώμοσεν ο Κύριος προς τους πατέρας σου, προς τον Αβραάμ, προς τον Ισαάκ και προς τον Ιακώβ, να δώση εις αυτούς.
20 to love Yahweh your God, to obey his voice, and to cling to him; for he is your life, and the length of your days, that you may dwell in the land which Yahweh swore to your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give them.

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 the holy Spirit of prophecy taught us this, telling us by Moses that God spoke thus to the man first created: "Behold, before thy face are good and evil: choose the good." And again, by the other prophet Isaiah, that the following utterance was made as if from God the Father and Lord of all: "Wash you, make you …
And therefore Moses says to them again: "Choose life, that thou mayest live, and thy seed, to love the Lord thy God, to hear His voice, to cleave unto Him; for this is thy life, and the length of thy days." Preparing man for this life, the Lord Himself did speak in His own person to all alike the words …
