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 Άκουε, Ισραήλ· συ διαβαίνεις σήμερον τον Ιορδάνην, διά να εισέλθης να κληρονομήσης έθνη μεγαλήτερα και ισχυρότερά σου, πόλεις μεγάλας και τετειχισμένας έως του ουρανού,
1 Hear, Israel! You are to pass over the Jordan today, to go in to dispossess nations greater and mightier than yourself, cities great and fortified up to the sky,
2 λαόν μέγαν και υψηλόν το ανάστημα, υιούς των Ανακείμ, τους οποίους γνωρίζεις και ήκουσας, Τις δύναται να σταθή έμπροσθεν των υιών του Ανάκ;
2 a people great and tall, the sons of the Anakim, whom you know, and of whom you have heard say, “Who can stand before the sons of Anak?”
3 Γνώρισον λοιπόν σήμερον, ότι Κύριος ο Θεός σου είναι ο προπορευόμενος έμπροσθέν σου· είναι πυρ καταναλίσκον· αυτός θέλει εξολοθρεύσει αυτούς και αυτός θέλει καταστρέψει αυτούς απ' έμπροσθέν σου· και θέλεις εκδιώξει αυτούς και ταχέως εξολοθρεύσει αυτούς, καθώς σοι είπεν ο Κύριος.
3 Know therefore today that Yahweh your God is he who goes over before you as a devouring fire. He will destroy them and he will bring them down before you. So you shall drive them out and make them perish quickly, as Yahweh has spoken to you.
4 Αφού Κύριος ο Θεός σου εκδιώξη αυτούς απ' έμπροσθέν σου, μη είπης εν τη καρδία σου λέγων, Διά την δικαιοσύνην μου με εισήγαγεν ο Κύριος να κληρονομήσω την γην ταύτην· αλλά διά την ασέβειαν των εθνών τούτων εκδιώκει αυτούς ο Κύριος απ' έμπροσθέν σου.
4 Don’t say in your heart, after Yahweh your God has thrust them out from before you, “For my righteousness Yahweh has brought me in to possess this land;” because Yahweh drives them out before you because of the wickedness of these nations.
5 Ουχί διά την δικαιοσύνην σου ουδέ διά την ευθύτητα της καρδίας σου εισέρχεσαι να κληρονομήσης την γην αυτών· αλλά διά την ασέβειαν των εθνών τούτων Κύριος ο Θεός σου εκδιώκει αυτά απ' έμπροσθέν σου, και διά να στερεώση τον λόγον, τον οποίον ο Κύριος ώμοσε προς τους πατέρας σου, προς τον Αβραάμ, προς τον Ισαάκ και προς τον Ιακώβ.
5 Not for your righteousness or for the uprightness of your heart do you go in to possess their land; but for the wickedness of these nations Yahweh your God does drive them out from before you, and that he may establish the word which Yahweh swore to your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob.
6 Γνώρισον λοιπόν, ότι Κύριος ο Θεός σου δεν σοι δίδει την γην ταύτην την αγαθήν να κληρονομήσης αυτήν διά την δικαιοσύνην σου· διότι είσαι λαός σκληροτράχηλος.
6 Know therefore that Yahweh your God doesn’t give you this good land to possess for your righteousness, for you are a stiff-necked people.
7 Ενθυμού, μη λησμονήσης πόσον παρώργισας Κύριον τον Θεόν σου εν τη ερήμω αφ' ης ημέρας εξήλθετε εκ γης Αιγύπτου, εωσού εφθάσατε εις τον τόπον τούτον, πάντοτε εστασιάσατε κατά του Κυρίου.
7 Remember, and don’t forget, how you provoked Yahweh your God to wrath in the wilderness. From the day that you left the land of Egypt until you came to this place, you have been rebellious against Yahweh.
8 Και εν Χωρήβ παρωργίσατε τον Κύριον και εθυμώθη ο Κύριος εναντίον σας διά να σας εξολοθρεύση,
8 Also in Horeb you provoked Yahweh to wrath, and Yahweh was angry with you to destroy you.
9 ότε ανέβην εις το όρος διά να λάβω τας πλάκας τας λιθίνας, τας πλάκας της διαθήκης την οποίαν ο Κύριος έκαμε προς εσάς. Τότε έμεινα εν τω όρει τεσσαράκοντα ημέρας και τεσσαράκοντα νύκτας· άρτον δεν έφαγον και ύδωρ δεν έπιον·
9 When I had gone up onto the mountain to receive the stone tablets, even the tablets of the covenant which Yahweh made with you, then I stayed on the mountain forty days and forty nights. I neither ate bread nor drank water.
10 και έδωκεν εις εμέ ο Κύριος τας δύο λιθίνας πλάκας, γεγραμμένας διά του δακτύλου του Θεού· και επ' αυτάς ήσαν γεγραμμένοι πάντες οι λόγοι, τους οποίους ελάλησεν ο Κύριος προς εσάς επί του όρους εκ μέσου του πυρός εν τη ημέρα της συνάξεως.
10 Yahweh delivered to me the two stone tablets written with God’s finger. On them were all the words which Yahweh spoke with you on the mountain out of the middle of the fire in the day of the assembly.
11 Και εις το τέλος των τεσσαράκοντα ημερών και τεσσαράκοντα νύκτων έδωκεν εις εμέ ο Κύριος τας δύο λιθίνας πλάκας, τας πλάκας της διαθήκης.
11 It came to pass at the end of forty days and forty nights that Yahweh gave me the two stone tablets, even the tablets of the covenant.
12 Και είπε Κύριος προς εμέ, Σηκώθητι, κατάβα ταχέως εντεύθεν· διότι ο λαός σου, τον οποίον εξήγαγες εξ Αιγύπτου, ηνόμησεν· ταχέως εξέκλιναν από της οδού, την οποίαν προσέταξα εις αυτούς· έκαμον εις εαυτούς είδωλον χυτόν.
12 Yahweh said to me, “Arise, get down quickly from here; for your people whom you have brought out of Egypt have corrupted themselves. They have quickly turned away from the way which I commanded them. They have made a molten image for themselves!”
13 Είπεν ότι ο Κύριος προς εμέ, λέγων, Είδον τον λαόν τούτον και ιδού, είναι λαός σκληροτράχηλος·
13 Furthermore Yahweh spoke to me, saying, “I have seen these people, and behold, they are a stiff-necked people.
14 άφες με να εξολοθρεύσω αυτούς και να εξαλείψω το όνομα αυτών υποκάτωθεν του ουρανού· και θέλω σε κάμει εις έθνος δυνατώτερον και μεγαλήτερον παρά τούτους.
14 Leave me alone, that I may destroy them, and blot out their name from under the sky; and I will make of you a nation mightier and greater than they.”
15 Και επέστρεψα και κατέβην από του όρους, και το όρος εκαίετο με πυρ, και αι δύο πλάκες της διαθήκης ήσαν εις τας δύο χείρας μου.
15 So I turned and came down from the mountain, and the mountain was burning with fire. The two tablets of the covenant were in my two hands.
16 Και είδον και ιδού, είχετε αμαρτήσει εναντίον Κυρίου του Θεού σας, κάμνοντες εις εαυτούς μόσχον χυτόν· είχετε εκκλίνει ταχέως εκ της οδού, την οποίαν προσέταξεν εις εσάς ο Κύριος·
16 I looked, and behold, you had sinned against Yahweh your God. You had made yourselves a molded calf. You had quickly turned away from the way which Yahweh had commanded you.
17 και πιάσας τας δύο πλάκας, έρριψα αυτάς από των δύο χειρών μου και συνέτριψα αυτάς έμπροσθεν των οφθαλμών σας·
17 I took hold of the two tablets, and threw them out of my two hands, and broke them before your eyes.
18 και προσέπεσον ενώπιον του Κυρίου, καθώς πρότερον, τεσσαράκοντα ημέρας και τεσσαράκοντα νύκτας· άρτον δεν έφαγον και ύδωρ δεν έπιον εξ αιτίας πασών των αμαρτιών σας, τας οποίας ημαρτήσατε, πράττοντες πονηρά ενώπιον του Κυρίου, ώστε να παροργίσητε αυτόν·
18 I fell down before Yahweh, as at the first, forty days and forty nights. I neither ate bread nor drank water, because of all your sin which you sinned, in doing that which was evil in Yahweh’s sight, to provoke him to anger.
19 διότι κατεφοβήθην διά τον θυμόν και την οργήν, με την οποίαν ο Κύριος ήτο θυμωμένος εναντίον σας διά να σας εξολοθρεύση. Αλλ' ο Κύριος εισήκουσέ μου και ταύτην την φοράν.
19 For I was afraid of the anger and hot displeasure with which Yahweh was angry against you to destroy you. But Yahweh listened to me that time also.
20 Και ήτο ο Κύριος θυμωμένος σφόδρα κατά του Ααρών, διά να εξολοθρεύση αυτόν· και εδεήθην και υπέρ του Ααρών εν τω καιρώ εκείνω.
20 Yahweh was angry enough with Aaron to destroy him. I prayed for Aaron also at the same time.
21 Και έλαβον την αμαρτίαν σας, τον μόσχον τον οποίον εκάμετε, και κατέκαυσα αυτόν εν πυρί και συνέτριψα αυτόν και κατελέπτυνα αυτόν εωσού έγεινε λεπτόν ως σκόνη· και έρριψα την σκόνην τούτου εις τον χείμαρρον τον καταβαίνοντα από του όρους.
21 I took your sin, the calf which you had made, and burned it with fire, and crushed it, grinding it very small, until it was as fine as dust. I threw its dust into the brook that descended out of the mountain.
22 Και εν Ταβερά και εν Μασσά και εν Κιβρώθ-αττααβά παρωργίσατε τον Κύριον.
22 At Taberah, at Massah, and at Kibroth Hattaavah you provoked Yahweh to wrath.
23 Και ότε ο Κύριος σας απέστειλεν από Κάδης-βαρνή, λέγων, Ανάβητε και κληρονομήσατε την γην, την οποίαν έδωκα εις εσάς, τότε σεις εστασιάσατε εναντίον της προσταγής Κυρίου του Θεού σας, και δεν επιστεύσατε εις αυτόν ουδέ εισηκούσατε της φωνής αυτού.
23 When Yahweh sent you from Kadesh Barnea, saying, “Go up and possess the land which I have given you,” you rebelled against the commandment of Yahweh your God, and you didn’t believe him or listen to his voice.
24 Πάντοτε εστασιάσατε εναντίον του Κυρίου, αφ' ης ημέρας σας εγνώρισα.
24 You have been rebellious against Yahweh from the day that I knew you.
25 Και προσέπεσον ενώπιον του Κυρίου τεσσαράκοντα ημέρας και τεσσαράκοντα νύκτας, καθώς προσέπεσον πρότερον· διότι ο Κύριος είπε να σας εξολοθρεύση.
25 So I fell down before Yahweh the forty days and forty nights that I fell down, because Yahweh had said he would destroy you.
26 Και εδεήθην του Κυρίου λέγων, Κύριε Θεέ, μη εξολοθρεύσης τον λαόν σου και την κληρονομίαν σου, τον οποίον ελύτρωσας διά της μεγαλωσύνης σου, τον οποίον εξήγαγες εξ Αιγύπτου εν χειρί κραταιά·
26 I prayed to Yahweh, and said, “Lord Yahweh, don’t destroy your people and your inheritance that you have redeemed through your greatness, that you have brought out of Egypt with a mighty hand.
27 ενθυμήθητι τους δούλους σου, τον Αβραάμ, τον Ισαάκ και τον Ιακώβ· μη επιβλέψης εις την σκληρότητα του λαού τούτου, μήτε εις τας ασεβείας αυτών, μήτε εις τας αμαρτίας αυτών·
27 Remember your servants, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Don’t look at the stubbornness of this people, nor at their wickedness, nor at their sin,
28 μήπως είπωσιν οι κάτοικοι της γης, εκ της οποίας εξήγαγες ημάς, Επειδή ο Κύριος δεν ηδύνατο να εισαγάγη αυτούς εις την γην, την οποίαν υπεσχέθη προς αυτούς, και επειδή εμίσει αυτούς, εξήγαγεν αυτούς διά να φονεύση αυτούς εν τη ερήμω·
28 lest the land you brought us out from say, ‘Because Yahweh was not able to bring them into the land which he promised to them, and because he hated them, he has brought them out to kill them in the wilderness.’
29 αλλ' ούτοι είναι λαός σου και κληρονομία σου, τους οποίους εξήγαγες με την δύναμίν σου την μεγάλην και με τον βραχίονά σου τον εξηπλωμένον.
29 Yet they are your people and your inheritance, which you brought out by your great power and by your outstretched arm.”

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).
They have speedily departed from the way in which I commanded them to walk, and have made to themselves molten images." And the Lord said unto him, "I have spoken to thee once and again, saying, I have seen this people, and, behold, it is a stiff-necked people: let Me destroy them, and blot out their name from under heaven; …
For the number ten, by which the perfection of blessedness is signified, multiplied four times, because of the fourfold divisions of the seasons, and the fourfold divisions of the world, will make the number forty. Wherefore Moses and Elias, and the Mediator Himself, our Lord Jesus Christ, fasted forty days, because in the time of this life, continence from the …

For we have absolute certainty that the Decalogue of the law, that is, those ten well-known precepts, were first written by the finger of God on two tables of stone. But the law, when it is not aided by grace, maketh transgressors, and is only in the letter, on account of which the apostle specially declared, "The letter killeth, but …
