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 αύται είναι αι εντολαί, τα διατάγματα και αι κρίσεις, όσας προσέταξε Κύριος ο Θεός σας να σας διδάξω, διά να κάμνητε αυτάς εν τη γη, εις την οποίαν εισέρχεσθε διά να κληρονομήσητε αυτήν·
1 Now these are the commandments, the statutes, and the ordinances, which Yahweh your God commanded to teach you, that you might do them in the land that you go over to possess;
2 διά να φοβήσαι Κύριον τον Θεόν σου, ώστε να φυλάττης πάντα τα διατάγματα αυτού και τας εντολάς αυτού, τας οποίας εγώ σε προστάζω, συ και ο υιός σου και ο υιός του υιού σου, πάσας τας ημέρας της ζωής σου· και διά να μακροημερεύσης.
2 that you might fear Yahweh your God, to keep all his statutes and his commandments, which I command you—you, your son, and your son’s son, all the days of your life; and that your days may be prolonged.
3 Άκουσον λοιπόν, Ισραήλ, και πρόσεχε να κάμνης αυτά, διά να ευημερής και διά να πληθυνθήτε σφόδρα, καθώς Κύριος ο Θεός των πατέρων σου υπεσχέθη εις σε, εν τη γη ήτις ρέει γάλα και μέλι.
3 Hear therefore, Israel, and observe to do it, that it may be well with you, and that you may increase mightily, as Yahweh, the God of your fathers, has promised to you, in a land flowing with milk and honey.
4 Άκουε, Ισραήλ· Κύριος ο Θεός ημών είναι εις Κύριος.
4 Hear, Israel: Yahweh is our God. Yahweh is one.
5 Και θέλεις αγαπά Κύριον τον Θεόν σου εξ όλης της καρδίας σου και εξ όλης της ψυχής σου και εξ όλης της δυνάμεώς σου.
5 You shall love Yahweh your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your might.
6 Και ούτοι οι λόγοι, τους οποίους εγώ σε προστάζω σήμερον, θέλουσι είσθαι εν τη καρδία σου·
6 These words, which I command you today, shall be on your heart;
7 και θέλεις διδάσκει αυτούς επιμελώς εις τα τέκνα σου, και περί αυτών θέλεις ομιλεί καθήμενος εν τη οικία σου και περιπατών εν τη οδώ και πλαγιάζων και εγειρόμενος.
7 and you shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, and when you walk by the way, and when you lie down, and when you rise up.
8 Και θέλεις δέσει αυτούς διά σημείον επί της χειρός σου και θέλουσιν είσθαι ως προμετωπίδια μεταξύ των οφθαλμών σου.
8 You shall bind them for a sign on your hand, and they shall be for frontlets between your eyes.
9 Και θέλεις γράψει αυτούς επί τους παραστάτας της οικίας σου και επί τας πύλας σου.
9 You shall write them on the door posts of your house and on your gates.
10 Και όταν Κύριος ο Θεός σου σε φέρη εις την γην, την οποίαν ώμοσε προς τους πατέρας σου, προς τον Αβραάμ, προς τον Ισαάκ και προς τον Ιακώβ, διά να δώση εις σε πόλεις μεγάλας και καλάς, τας οποίας δεν έκτισας,
10 It shall be, when Yahweh your God brings you into the land which he swore to your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give you, great and goodly cities which you didn’t build,
11 και οικίας πλήρεις πάντων των αγαθών, τας οποίας δεν εγέμισας, και φρέατα ηνοιγμένα, τα οποία δεν ήνοιξας, αμπελώνας και ελαιώνας, τους οποίους δεν εφύτευσας· αφού φάγης και χορτάσης,
11 and houses full of all good things which you didn’t fill, and cisterns dug out which you didn’t dig, vineyards and olive trees which you didn’t plant, and you shall eat and be full;
12 πρόσεχε εις σεαυτόν, μήποτε λησμονήσης τον Κύριον, όστις σε εξήγαγεν εκ γης Αιγύπτου, εξ οίκου δουλείας.
12 then beware lest you forget Yahweh, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
13 Κύριον τον Θεόν σου θέλεις φοβείσθαι και αυτόν θέλεις λατρεύει και εις το όνομα αυτού θέλεις ομνύει.
13 You shall fear Yahweh your God; and you shall serve him, and shall swear by his name.
14 Δεν θέλετε υπάγει κατόπιν άλλων θεών, εκ των θεών των εθνών των περικυκλούντων υμάς,
14 You shall not go after other gods, of the gods of the peoples who are around you,
15 διότι Κύριος ο Θεός σου είναι Θεός ζηλότυπος εν μέσω σου, διά να μη εξαφή ο θυμός Κυρίου του Θεού σου εναντίον σου και σε εξολοθρεύση από προσώπου της γης.
15 for Yahweh your God among you is a jealous God, lest the anger of Yahweh your God be kindled against you, and he destroy you from off the face of the earth.
16 Δεν θέλετε πειράσει Κύριον τον Θεόν σας, καθώς επειράσατε εν Μασσά.
16 You shall not tempt Yahweh your God, as you tempted him in Massah.
17 Θέλετε φυλάττει επιμελώς τας εντολάς Κυρίου του Θεού υμών και τα μαρτύρια αυτού και τα διατάγματα αυτού, τα οποία προσέταξεν εις σε.
17 You shall diligently keep the commandments of Yahweh your God, and his testimonies, and his statutes, which he has commanded you.
18 Και θέλεις κάμνει το ευθές και το αγαθόν ενώπιον του Κυρίου· διά να ευημερής και διά να εισέλθης και κληρονομήσης την γην την αγαθήν, την οποίαν ο Κύριος ώμοσε προς τους πατέρας σου·
18 You shall do that which is right and good in Yahweh’s sight, that it may be well with you and that you may go in and possess the good land which Yahweh swore to your fathers,
19 διά να εκδιώξη πάντας τους εχθρούς σου απ' έμπροσθέν σου, καθώς ελάλησε Κύριος.
19 to thrust out all your enemies from before you, as Yahweh has spoken.
20 Όταν ο υιός σου σε ερωτήση εις το μετά ταύτα, λέγων, Τι δηλούσι τα μαρτύρια και τα διατάγματα και αι κρίσεις, τας οποίας Κύριος ο Θεός ημών σας προσέταξε;
20 When your son asks you in time to come, saying, “What do the testimonies, the statutes, and the ordinances, which Yahweh our God has commanded you mean?”
21 Τότε θέλεις ειπεί προς τον υιόν σου, Δούλοι ήμεθα του Φαραώ εν Αιγύπτω, και ο Κύριος εξήγαγεν ημάς εξ Αιγύπτου εν χειρί κραταιά·
21 then you shall tell your son, “We were Pharaoh’s slaves in Egypt. Yahweh brought us out of Egypt with a mighty hand;
22 και έδειξεν ο Κύριος σημεία και τέρατα, μεγάλα και δεινά, επί την Αίγυπτον, επί τον Φαραώ και επί πάντα τον οίκον αυτού, ενώπιον των οφθαλμών ημών·
22 and Yahweh showed great and awesome signs and wonders on Egypt, on Pharaoh, and on all his house, before our eyes;
23 και εξήγαγεν ημάς εκείθεν, διά να εισαγάγη ημάς και να δώση εις ημάς την γην, την οποίαν ώμοσε προς τους πατέρας ημών·
23 and he brought us out from there, that he might bring us in, to give us the land which he swore to our fathers.
24 και προσέταξεν εις ημάς ο Κύριος να κάμνωμεν πάντα τα διατάγματα ταύτα, να φοβώμεθα Κύριον τον Θεόν ημών, διά να ευημερώμεν πάντοτε, διά να φυλάττη ημάς ζώντας, καθώς την σήμερον ημέραν·
24 Yahweh commanded us to do all these statutes, to fear Yahweh our God, for our good always, that he might preserve us alive, as we are today.
25 και θέλει είσθαι δικαιοσύνη εις ημάς, εάν προσέχωμεν να πράττωμεν πάσας τας εντολάς ταύτας ενώπιον Κυρίου του Θεού ημών, καθώς προσέταξεν εις ημάς.
25 It shall be righteousness to us, if we observe to do all these commandments before Yahweh our God, as he has commanded us.”

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).
… god at all); or shall it be (what is really the case) the Maker of heaven and earth, whom also the prophets proclaimed,--whom Christ, too, confesses as His Father,-- whom also the law announces, saying: "Hear, O Israel; The Lord thy God is one God?"
Can it at any time or place be an unrighteous thing for a man to love God with all his heart, with all his soul, and with all his mind, and his neighbour as himself? Therefore those offences which be contrary to nature are everywhere and at all times to be held in detestation and punished; such were those of …

Since they were continually forgetting God's benefits, He commanded His marvellous works to be inscribed on little tablets, and that these should be suspended from their hands (wherefore also He said, "They shall be immoveable in thine eyes"), which they called phylacteries; as many of our women now wear Gospels hung from their necks.

And again He says, Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God is one Lord.

The Lord therefore confuted him out of the law, when He said, "It is written again, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God;" pointing out by the word contained in the law that which is the duty of man, that he should not tempt God; and in regard to Himself, since He appeared in human form, [declaring] that He …
