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 εκάλεσεν ο Μωϋσής πάντα τον Ισραήλ και είπε προς αυτούς, Άκουε, Ισραήλ, τα διατάγματα και τας κρίσεις, τας οποίας εγώ λαλώ εις τα ώτα υμών σήμερον, διά να μάθητε αυτάς, και να προσέχητε να εκτελήτε αυτάς.
1 Moses called to all Israel, and said to them, “Hear, Israel, the statutes and the ordinances which I speak in your ears today, that you may learn them, and observe to do them.”
2 Κύριος ο Θεός ημών έκαμε διαθήκην προς ημάς εν Χωρήβ.
2 Yahweh our God made a covenant with us in Horeb.
3 Δεν έκαμε την διαθήκην ταύτην ο Κύριος προς τους πατέρας ημών, αλλά προς ημάς, ημάς οίτινες πάντες είμεθα ενταύθα σήμερον ζώντες.
3 Yahweh didn’t make this covenant with our fathers, but with us, even us, who are all of us here alive today.
4 Πρόσωπον προς πρόσωπον ελάλησε Κύριος με σας εις το όρος εκ μέσου του πυρός,
4 Yahweh spoke with you face to face on the mountain out of the middle of the fire,
5 εγώ δε εστεκόμην μεταξύ του Κυρίου και υμών κατ' εκείνον τον καιρόν, διά να σας φανερώσω τον λόγον του Κυρίου· διότι ήσθε πεφοβισμένοι εξ αιτίας του πυρός και δεν ανέβητε εις το όρος, λέγων.
5 (I stood between Yahweh and you at that time, to show you Yahweh’s word; for you were afraid because of the fire, and didn’t go up onto the mountain) saying,
6 Εγώ είμαι Κύριος ο Θεός σου, όστις σε εξήγαγον εκ γης Αιγύπτου, εξ οίκου δουλείας.
6 “I am Yahweh your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
7 Μη έχης άλλους θεούς, πλην εμού.
7 “You shall have no other gods before me.
8 Μη κάμης εις σεαυτόν είδωλον, μηδέ ομοίωμα τινός, όσα είναι εν τω ουρανώ άνω, ή όσα είναι εν τη γη κάτω, ή όσα είναι εν τοις ύδασιν υποκάτω της γης
8 “You shall not make a carved image for yourself—any likeness of what is in heaven above, or what is on the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth.
9 μη προσκυνήσης αυτά μηδέ λατρεύσης αυτά· διότι εγώ Κύριος ο Θεός σου είμαι Θεός ζηλότυπος, ανταποδίδων τας αμαρτίας των πατέρων επί τα τέκνα, έως τρίτης και τετάρτης γενεάς των μισούντων με·
9 You shall not bow yourself down to them, nor serve them, for I, Yahweh your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children and on the third and on the fourth generation of those who hate me
10 και κάμνων έλεος εις χιλιάδας γενεών των αγαπώντων με και φυλαττόντων τα προστάγματά μου.
10 and showing loving kindness to thousands of those who love me and keep my commandments.
11 Μη λάβης το όνομα Κυρίου του Θεού σου επί ματαίω διότι ο Κύριος δεν θέλει αθωώσει τον λαμβάνοντα το όνομα αυτού επί ματαίω.
11 “You shall not misuse the name of Yahweh your God; for Yahweh will not hold him guiltless who misuses his name.
12 Φύλαττε την ημέραν του σαββάτου, διά να αγιάζης αυτήν· καθώς προσέταξεν εις σε Κύριος ο Θεός σου·
12 “Observe the Sabbath day, to keep it holy, as Yahweh your God commanded you.
13 εξ ημέρας εργάζου και κάμνε πάντα τα έργα σου·
13 You shall labor six days, and do all your work;
14 η ημέρα όμως η εβδόμη είναι σάββατον Κυρίου του Θεού σου· μη κάμης εν ταύτη ουδέν έργον, μήτε συ μήτε ο υιός σου μήτε η θυγάτηρ σου μήτε ο δούλός σου μήτε η δούλη σου μήτε ο βους σου μήτε ο όνος σου μήτε κανέν εκ των κτηνών σου μήτε ο ξένος σου ο εντός των πυλών σου διά να αναπαυθή ο δούλός σου και η δούλη σου καθώς συ.
14 but the seventh day is a Sabbath to Yahweh your God, in which you shall not do any work—neither you, nor your son, nor your daughter, nor your male servant, nor your female servant, nor your ox, nor your donkey, nor any of your livestock, nor your stranger who is within your gates; that your male servant and your female servant may rest as well as you.
15 Και ενθυμού, ότι ήσο δούλος εν τη γη της Αιγύπτου· και Κύριος ο Θεός σου σε εξήγαγεν εκείθεν εν χειρί κραταιά και εν βραχίονι εξηπλωμένω· διά τούτο Κύριος ο Θεός σου προσέταξεν εις σε να φυλάττης την ημέραν του σαββάτου.
15 You shall remember that you were a servant in the land of Egypt, and Yahweh your God brought you out of there by a mighty hand and by an outstretched arm. Therefore Yahweh your God commanded you to keep the Sabbath day.
16 Τίμα τον πατέρα σου και την μητέρα σου, καθώς προσέταξεν εις σε Κύριος ο Θεός σου· διά να γείνης μακροχρόνιος και διά να ευημερής επί της γης, την οποίαν δίδει εις σε Κύριος ο Θεός σου.
16 “Honor your father and your mother, as Yahweh your God commanded you, that your days may be long and that it may go well with you in the land which Yahweh your God gives you.
17 Μη φονεύσης.
17 “You shall not murder.
18 Και μη μοιχεύσης.
18 “You shall not commit adultery.
19 Και μη κλέψης.
19 “You shall not steal.
20 Και μη ψευδομαρτυρήσης κατά του πλησίον σου μαρτυρίαν ψευδή.
20 “You shall not give false testimony against your neighbor.
21 Και μη επιθυμήσης την γυναίκα του πλησίον σου· μηδέ επιθυμήσης την οικίαν του πλησίον σου μήτε τον αγρόν αυτού μήτε τον δούλον αυτού μήτε την δούλην αυτού μήτε τον βουν αυτού μήτε τον όνον αυτού μηδέ παν ό,τι είναι του πλησίον σου.
21 “You shall not covet your neighbor’s wife. Neither shall you desire your neighbor’s house, his field, or his male servant, or his female servant, his ox, or his donkey, or anything that is your neighbor’s.”
22 Ταύτα τα λόγια ελάλησε Κύριος προς πάσαν την συναγωγήν σας εν τω όρει εκ μέσου του πυρός, της νεφέλης και του γνόφου, εν φωνή μεγάλη· και άλλο τι δεν επρόσθεσε· και έγραψεν αυτά επί δύο πλάκας λιθίνας και παρέδωκεν αυτάς εις εμέ.
22 Yahweh spoke these words to all your assembly on the mountain out of the middle of the fire, of the cloud, and of the thick darkness, with a great voice. He added no more. He wrote them on two stone tablets, and gave them to me.
23 Και αφού ηκούσατε την φωνήν εκ μέσου του σκότους, και το όρος εκαίετο με πυρ, τότε προσήλθετε προς εμέ, πάντες οι αρχηγοί των φυλών σας και οι πρεσβύτεροί σας,
23 When you heard the voice out of the middle of the darkness, while the mountain was burning with fire, you came near to me, even all the heads of your tribes, and your elders;
24 και ελέγετε, Ιδού, Κύριος ο Θεός ημών έδειξεν εις ημάς την δόξαν αυτού και την μεγαλωσύνην αυτού, και ηκούσαμεν την φωνήν αυτού εκ μέσου του πυρός· την ημέραν ταύτην είδομεν ότι ο Θεός λαλεί μετά του ανθρώπου και ο άνθρωπος ζή·
24 and you said, “Behold, Yahweh our God has shown us his glory and his greatness, and we have heard his voice out of the middle of the fire. We have seen today that God does speak with man, and he lives.
25 τώρα λοιπόν διά τι να αποθάνωμεν; επειδή το μέγα τούτο πυρ θέλει μας καταφάγει εάν ημείς ακούσωμεν έτι την φωνήν Κυρίου του Θεού ημών, θέλομεν αποθάνει·
25 Now therefore, why should we die? For this great fire will consume us. If we hear Yahweh our God’s voice any more, then we shall die.
26 διότι τις είναι εκ πάντων των θνητών, όστις ήκουσε την φωνήν του ζώντος Θεού λαλούντος εκ μέσου του πυρός, καθώς ημείς, και έζησε;
26 For who is there of all flesh who has heard the voice of the living God speaking out of the middle of the fire, as we have, and lived?
27 πρόσελθε συ και άκουσον πάντα όσα είπη Κύριος ο Θεός ημών· και συ ειπέ προς ημάς όσα είπη προς σε Κύριος ο Θεός ημών· και ημείς θέλομεν ακούσει και κάμει αυτά.
27 Go near, and hear all that Yahweh our God shall say, and tell us all that Yahweh our God tells you; and we will hear it, and do it.”
28 Και ήκουσε Κύριος την φωνήν των λόγων σας, ότε ελαλείτε προς εμέ· και είπε Κύριος προς εμέ, Ήκουσα την φωνήν των λόγων του λαού τούτου, τους οποίους ελάλησαν προς σέ· καλώς είπον πάντα όσα ελάλησαν.
28 Yahweh heard the voice of your words when you spoke to me; and Yahweh said to me, “I have heard the voice of the words of this people which they have spoken to you. They have well said all that they have spoken.
29 Είθε να ήτο εις αυτούς τοιαύτη καρδία, ώστε να με φοβώνται και να φυλάττωσι πάντοτε πάντα τα προστάγματά μου, διά να ευημερώσιν αιωνίως, αυτοί και τα τέκνα αυτών.
29 Oh that there were such a heart in them that they would fear me and keep all my commandments always, that it might be well with them and with their children forever!
30 Ύπαγε, ειπέ προς αυτούς, Επιστρέψατε εις τας σκηνάς σας.
30 “Go tell them, ‘Return to your tents.’
31 Συ δε στήθι αυτού μετ' εμού και θέλω σοι ειπεί πάσας τας εντολάς και τα διατάγματα, και τας κρίσεις, τας οποίας θέλεις διδάξει αυτούς, διά να κάμνωσιν αυτάς εν τη γη, την οποίαν εγώ δίδω εις αυτούς εις κληρονομίαν.
31 But as for you, stand here by me, and I will tell you all the commandments, and the statutes, and the ordinances, which you shall teach them, that they may do them in the land which I give them to possess.”
32 Θέλετε λοιπόν προσέχει να κάμνητε καθώς προσέταξεν εις εσάς Κύριος ο Θεός σας· δεν θέλετε εκκλίνει δεξιά ή αριστερά.
32 You shall observe to do therefore as Yahweh your God has commanded you. You shall not turn away to the right hand or to the left.
33 Θέλετε περιπατεί εις πάσας τας οδούς, τας οποίας Κύριος ο Θεός σας προσέταξεν εις εσάς· διά να ζήτε και να ευημερήτε και να μακροημερεύητε εν τη γη, την οποίαν θέλετε κληρονομήσει.
33 You shall walk in all the way which Yahweh your God has commanded you, that you may live and that it may be well with you, and that you may prolong your days in the land which you shall possess.

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).
… expound it; but his meaning is similar to that of Moses, when it is said, "Thou shalt not make to thyself any image for God, of whatsoever things are in heaven above, whatsoever in the earth beneath, and whatsoever in the waters under the earth." And he does thus explain what are meant by the things in heaven: "Lest when," …
For if we attribute them to ourselves, they shall be servile; for it is said of the Sabbath, "Ye shall do no servile work in it." Wherefore also it is said by Ezekiel the prophet, "And I gave them my Sabbaths to be a sign between me and them, that they might know that I am the Lord who sanctify …

… us honour also the fathers of our flesh: since the Lord Himself hath evidently so appointed in the Law and the Prophets, saying, Honour thy father and thy mother, that it may be well with thee, and thy days shall be long in the land.

As Moses says in Deuteronomy, "These are all the words which the Lord spake to the whole assembly of the sons of Israel on the mount, and He added no more; and He wrote them on two tables of stone, and gave them to me." For this reason [He did so], that they who are willing to follow Him might …
For it is written in the Law, "Thou shalt not bear false witness;" and it is written in the Law, "All men are liars." Recur then to that which I just lately suggested, when I defined in words as best I could the "meek" man.
