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 Πάσας τας εντολάς, τας οποίας εγώ προστάζω εις σε σήμερον, θέλετε προσέχει να εκτελήτε, διά να ζήτε και να πληθυνθήτε και διά να εισέλθητε και κληρονομήσητε την γην, την οποίαν ώμοσεν ο Κύριος προς τους πατέρας σας.
1 You shall observe to do all the commandments which I command you today, that you may live, and multiply, and go in and possess the land which Yahweh swore to your fathers.
2 Και θέλεις ενθυμείσθαι πάσαν την οδόν, εις την οποίαν σε ώδήγησε Κύριος ο Θεός σου τα τεσσαράκοντα ταύτα έτη εν τη ερήμω, διά να σε ταπεινώση, να σε δοκιμάση, διά να γνωρίση τα εν τη καρδία σου, εάν θέλης φυλάξει τας εντολάς αυτού, ή ουχί.
2 You shall remember all the way which Yahweh your God has led you these forty years in the wilderness, that he might humble you, to test you, to know what was in your heart, whether you would keep his commandments or not.
3 Και σε εταπείνωσε και σε έκαμε να πεινάσης και σε έθρεψε με μάννα, το οποίον δεν εγνώριζες, ουδέ οι πατέρες σου εγνώριζον, διά να σε κάμη να μάθης ότι ο άνθρωπος δεν ζη με μόνον άρτον, αλλ' ο άνθρωπος ζη με πάντα λόγον εξερχόμενον εκ του στόματος του Κυρίου.
3 He humbled you, allowed you to be hungry, and fed you with manna, which you didn’t know, neither did your fathers know, that he might teach you that man does not live by bread only, but man lives by every word that proceeds out of Yahweh’s mouth.
4 Τα ιμάτιά σου δεν επαλαιώθησαν επάνω σου ουδέ ο πους σου επρήσθη τα τεσσαράκοντα ταύτα έτη.
4 Your clothing didn’t grow old on you, neither did your foot swell, these forty years.
5 Θέλεις λοιπόν γνωρίσει εν τη καρδία σου ότι καθώς ο άνθρωπος παιδεύει τον υιόν αυτού, ούτω Κύριος ο Θεός σου σε επαίδευσε.
5 You shall consider in your heart that as a man disciplines his son, so Yahweh your God disciplines you.
6 Διά τούτο θέλεις φυλάττει τας εντολάς Κυρίου του Θεού σου, διά να περιπατής εις τας οδούς αυτού και να φοβήσαι αυτόν.
6 You shall keep the commandments of Yahweh your God, to walk in his ways, and to fear him.
7 Διότι Κύριος ο Θεός σου σε φέρει εις γην αγαθήν, γην ποταμών υδάτων, πηγών και αβύσσων, αίτινες αναβλύζουσιν από κοιλάδων και ορέων·
7 For Yahweh your God brings you into a good land, a land of brooks of water, of springs, and underground water flowing into valleys and hills;
8 γην σίτου και κριθής και αμπέλων και συκών και ροδιών· γην ελαιών και μέλιτος·
8 a land of wheat, barley, vines, fig trees, and pomegranates; a land of olive trees and honey;
9 γην, επί της οποίας θέλεις τρώγει άρτον ουχί μετ' ενδείας, δεν θέλεις στερείσθαι ουδενός επ' αυτής· γην, της οποίας οι λίθοι είναι σίδηρος, και εκ των ορέων αυτής θέλεις μεταλλεύει χαλκόν.
9 a land in which you shall eat bread without scarcity, you shall not lack anything in it; a land whose stones are iron, and out of whose hills you may dig copper.
10 Και θέλεις φάγει και θέλεις χορτασθή, και θέλεις ευλογήσει Κύριον τον θεόν σου επί της γης της αγαθής, την οποίαν σοι έδωκε.
10 You shall eat and be full, and you shall bless Yahweh your God for the good land which he has given you.
11 Πρόσεχε εις σεαυτόν μήποτε λησμονήσης Κύριον τον Θεόν σου, αθετών τας εντολάς αυτού και τας κρίσεις αυτού και τα διατάγματα αυτού, τα οποία εγώ προστάζω εις σε σήμερον·
11 Beware lest you forget Yahweh your God, in not keeping his commandments, his ordinances, and his statutes, which I command you today;
12 μήπως, αφού φάγης και χορτασθής και οικοδομήσης οικίας καλάς και κατοικήσης,
12 lest, when you have eaten and are full, and have built fine houses and lived in them;
13 και οι βόες σου και τα πρόβατά σου αυξήσωσι, και πολλαπλασιασθή το αργύριόν σου και το χρυσίον σου και πάντα όσα έχεις αυξήσωσι,
13 and when your herds and your flocks multiply, and your silver and your gold is multiplied, and all that you have is multiplied;
14 μήπως τότε υψωθή η καρδία σου και λησμονήσης Κύριον τον Θεόν σου, όστις σε εξήγαγεν εκ γης Αιγύπτου, εξ οίκου δουλείας·
14 then your heart might be lifted up, and you forget Yahweh your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage;
15 όστις σε ώδήγησε διά της μεγάλης ταύτης και τρομεράς ερήμου, όπου ήσαν όφεις φλογεροί και σκορπίοι και ξηρασία, όπου δεν ήτο ύδωρ· όστις ανέδωκεν εις σε ύδωρ εκ της σκληράς πέτρας·
15 who led you through the great and terrible wilderness, with venomous snakes and scorpions, and thirsty ground where there was no water; who poured water for you out of the rock of flint;
16 όστις σε έθρεψεν εν τη ερήμω με το μάννα, το οποίον δεν εγνώριζον οι πατέρες σου, διά να σε ταπεινώση και διά να σε δοκιμάση, διά να σε αγαθοποιήση εις τα έσχατά σου·
16 who fed you in the wilderness with manna, which your fathers didn’t know, that he might humble you, and that he might prove you, to do you good at your latter end;
17 και είπης εν τη καρδία σου, Η δύναμίς μου και το κράτος της χειρός μου απέκτησαν εις εμέ τον πλούτον τούτον.
17 and lest you say in your heart, “My power and the might of my hand has gotten me this wealth.”
18 Αλλά θέλεις ενθυμείσθαι Κύριον τον Θεόν σου· διότι αυτός είναι, όστις σε δίδει δύναμιν να αποκτάς πλούτη, διά να στερεώση την διαθήκην αυτού, την οποίαν ώμοσε προς τους πατέρας σου, ως είναι την ημέραν ταύτην.
18 But you shall remember Yahweh your God, for it is he who gives you power to get wealth, that he may establish his covenant which he swore to your fathers, as it is today.
19 Εάν όμως λησμονήσης Κύριον τον Θεόν σου και υπάγης κατόπιν άλλων θεών και λατρεύσης αυτούς και προσκυνήσης αυτούς, διαμαρτύρομαι προς εσάς σήμερον ότι εξάπαντος θέλετε αφανισθή·
19 It shall be, if you shall forget Yahweh your God, and walk after other gods, and serve them and worship them, I testify against you today that you shall surely perish.
20 καθώς τα έθνη, τα οποία ο Κύριος εξολοθρεύει απ' έμπροσθέν σας, ούτω θέλετε αφανισθή· διότι δεν υπηκούσατε εις την φωνήν Κυρίου του Θεού σας.
20 As the nations that Yahweh makes to perish before you, so you shall perish, because you wouldn’t listen to Yahweh your God’s voice.

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).
… acciperent escam); as also Moses says in Deuteronomy: "And fed thee with manna, which thy fathers did not know, that thou mightest know that man doth not live by bread alone; but by every word of God proceeding out of His mouth doth man live." And it enjoined love to God, and taught just dealing towards our neighbour, that we …
For, when tempting Him, he said, "If thou be the Son of God, command that these stones be made bread." But the Lord repulsed him by the commandment of the law, saying, "It is written, Man doth not live by bread alone." As to those words [of His enemy,] "If thou be the Son of God," [the Lord] made no …
