Deuteronomy 27
1 Moses/I, along with the other Israeli leaders, said this to the people: “Obey all the commandments that I am giving to you today.
καὶ προσέταξεν Μωυσῆς καὶ ἡ γερουσία Ισραηλ λέγων φυλάσσεσθε πάσας τὰς ἐντολὰς ταύτας ὅσας ἐγὼ ἐντέλλομαι ὑμῖν σήμερον
2 [Soon] you will cross the Jordan [River] and enter the land that Yahweh, the God whom our ancestors [worshiped], promised to give to you. There, in that very fertile [IDM] land on the [west] side of the Jordan [River], set up some large stones [on Ebal Mountain], and cover them with plaster. Then write on those stones all these laws and teachings/instructions.
καὶ ἔσται ᾗ ἂν ἡμέρᾳ διαβῆτε τὸν Ιορδάνην εἰς τὴν γῆν ἣν κύριος ὁ θεός σου δίδωσίν σοι καὶ στήσεις σεαυτῷ λίθους μεγάλους καὶ κονιάσεις αὐτοὺς κονίᾳ
καὶ γράψεις ἐπὶ τῶν λίθων πάντας τοὺς λόγους τοῦ νόμου τούτου ὡς ἂν διαβῆτε τὸν Ιορδάνην ἡνίκα ἐὰν εἰσέλθητε εἰς τὴν γῆν ἣν κύριος ὁ θεὸς τῶν πατέρων σου δίδωσίν σοι γῆν ῥέουσαν γάλα καὶ μέλι ὃν τρόπον εἶπεν κύριος ὁ θεὸς τῶν πατέρων σού σοι
καὶ ἔσται ὡς ἂν διαβῆτε τὸν Ιορδάνην στήσετε τοὺς λίθους τούτους οὓς ἐγὼ ἐντέλλομαί σοι σήμερον ἐν ὄρει Γαιβαλ καὶ κονιάσεις αὐτοὺς κονίᾳ
5 And build a stone altar there to offer sacrifices to Yahweh, but do not cut those stones with iron tools.
καὶ οἰκοδομήσεις ἐκεῖ θυσιαστήριον κυρίῳ τῷ θεῷ σου θυσιαστήριον ἐκ λίθων οὐκ ἐπιβαλεῖς ἐπ’ αὐτοὺς σίδηρον
6 The altar that you make to burn sacrifices to Yahweh our God must be made with uncut stones.
λίθους ὁλοκλήρους οἰκοδομήσεις θυσιαστήριον κυρίῳ τῷ θεῷ σου καὶ ἀνοίσεις ἐπ’ αὐτὸ ὁλοκαυτώματα κυρίῳ τῷ θεῷ σου
7 And there you must sacrifice offerings to maintain fellowship with Yahweh, and you must eat [your share of those offerings] and rejoice/celebrate in the presence of Yahweh.
καὶ θύσεις ἐκεῖ θυσίαν σωτηρίου κυρίῳ τῷ θεῷ σου καὶ φάγῃ καὶ ἐμπλησθήσῃ καὶ εὐφρανθήσῃ ἐναντίον κυρίου τοῦ θεοῦ σου
8 And, when you write these laws on those stones, you must write them very clearly.”
καὶ γράψεις ἐπὶ τῶν λίθων πάντα τὸν νόμον τοῦτον σαφῶς σφόδρα
9 Then Moses/I, along with the priests, said to all the Israeli people, “You Israeli people, be quiet and listen [to what I am saying]. Today you have become the people who belong to Yahweh, our God.
καὶ ἐλάλησεν Μωυσῆς καὶ οἱ ἱερεῖς οἱ Λευῖται παντὶ Ισραηλ λέγοντες σιώπα καὶ ἄκουε Ισραηλ ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ταύτῃ γέγονας εἰς λαὸν κυρίῳ τῷ θεῷ σου
10 So, you must do what he tells you, and obey all the rules and regulations that I am giving to you today.”
καὶ εἰσακούσῃ τῆς φωνῆς κυρίου τοῦ θεοῦ σου καὶ ποιήσεις πάσας τὰς ἐντολὰς αὐτοῦ καὶ τὰ δικαιώματα αὐτοῦ ὅσα ἐγὼ ἐντέλλομαί σοι σήμερον
11 On that same day Moses/I said to the Israeli people,
καὶ ἐνετείλατο Μωυσῆς τῷ λαῷ ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ λέγων
12 “After you have crossed over the Jordan [River], the tribes of Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar, Joseph, and Benjamin must stand on Gerizim Mountain and [request Yahweh to] bless the people.
οὗτοι στήσονται εὐλογεῖν τὸν λαὸν ἐν ὄρει Γαριζιν διαβάντες τὸν Ιορδάνην Συμεων Λευι Ιουδας Ισσαχαρ Ιωσηφ καὶ Βενιαμιν
13 And the tribes of Reuben, Gad, Asher, Zebulun, Dan, and Naphtali must stand on Ebal Mountain and listen to the things that Yahweh will do when he curses the people.
καὶ οὗτοι στήσονται ἐπὶ τῆς κατάρας ἐν ὄρει Γαιβαλ Ρουβην Γαδ καὶ Ασηρ Ζαβουλων Δαν καὶ Νεφθαλι
14 The descendants of Levi must shout these words loudly:
καὶ ἀποκριθέντες οἱ Λευῖται ἐροῦσιν παντὶ Ισραηλ φωνῇ μεγάλῃ
15 ‘Yahweh will curse anyone who makes an idol of stone, or of wood, or of metal, and secretly sets it up [and worships it]. Yahweh considers that those things, made by humans [SYN], are detestable/disgusting.’ And all the people must reply, ‘(Amen/We want that to happen).’
ἐπικατάρατος ἄνθρωπος ὅστις ποιήσει γλυπτὸν καὶ χωνευτόν βδέλυγμα κυρίῳ ἔργον χειρῶν τεχνίτου καὶ θήσει αὐτὸ ἐν ἀποκρύφῳ καὶ ἀποκριθεὶς πᾶς ὁ λαὸς ἐροῦσιν γένοιτο
16 ‘Yahweh will curse anyone who dishonors his father or his mother.’ And all the people must reply, ‘(Amen/We want that to happen).’

17 ‘Yahweh will curse anyone who removes someone else’s markers of property boundaries.’ And all the people must reply, ‘(Amen/We want that to happen).’
ἐπικατάρατος ὁ μετατιθεὶς ὅρια τοῦ πλησίον καὶ ἐροῦσιν πᾶς ὁ λαός γένοιτο
18 ‘Yahweh will curse anyone who leads a blind person to go (in the wrong direction/where that person does not want to go).’ And all the people must reply, ‘(Amen/We want that to happen).’
ἐπικατάρατος ὁ πλανῶν τυφλὸν ἐν ὁδῷ καὶ ἐροῦσιν πᾶς ὁ λαός γένοιτο
19 ‘Yahweh will curse anyone who deprives foreigners or orphans or widows of the things that the laws state must be done for them.’ And all the people must reply, ‘(Amen/We want that to happen).’
ἐπικατάρατος ὃς ἂν ἐκκλίνῃ κρίσιν προσηλύτου καὶ ὀρφανοῦ καὶ χήρας καὶ ἐροῦσιν πᾶς ὁ λαός γένοιτο
20 ‘Yahweh will curse anyone who (shows no respect for/disgraces his father) by having sex with [EUP] any of his father’s wives.’ And all the people must reply, ‘(Amen/We want that to happen).’
ἐπικατάρατος ὁ κοιμώμενος μετὰ γυναικὸς τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ ὅτι ἀπεκάλυψεν συγκάλυμμα τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐροῦσιν πᾶς ὁ λαός γένοιτο
21 ‘Yahweh will curse anyone who has sex [EUP] with any animal.’ And all the people must reply, ‘(Amen/We want that to happen).’
ἐπικατάρατος ὁ κοιμώμενος μετὰ παντὸς κτήνους καὶ ἐροῦσιν πᾶς ὁ λαός γένοιτο
22 ‘Yahweh will curse anyone who has sex with his sister or with his half-sister.’ And all the people must reply, ‘(Amen/We want that to happen).’
ἐπικατάρατος ὁ κοιμώμενος μετὰ ἀδελφῆς ἐκ πατρὸς ἢ ἐκ μητρὸς αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐροῦσιν πᾶς ὁ λαός γένοιτο
23 ‘Yahweh will curse anyone who has sex with [EUP] his mother-in-law.’ And all the people must reply, ‘(Amen/We want that to happen).’
ἐπικατάρατος ὁ κοιμώμενος μετὰ πενθερᾶς αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐροῦσιν πᾶς ὁ λαός γένοιτο ἐπικατάρατος ὁ κοιμώμενος μετὰ ἀδελφῆς γυναικὸς αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐροῦσιν πᾶς ὁ λαός γένοιτο
24 ‘Yahweh will curse anyone who secretly murders someone else.’ And all the people must reply, ‘(Amen/We want that to happen).’
ἐπικατάρατος ὁ τύπτων τὸν πλησίον αὐτοῦ δόλῳ καὶ ἐροῦσιν πᾶς ὁ λαός γένοιτο
25 ‘Yahweh will curse anyone who accepts a bribe to murder someone who (is innocent/has not done something that is wrong.)’ And all the people must reply, ‘(Amen/We want that to happen).’
ἐπικατάρατος ὃς ἂν λάβῃ δῶρα πατάξαι ψυχὴν αἵματος ἀθῴου καὶ ἐροῦσιν πᾶς ὁ λαός γένοιτο
26 ‘Yahweh will curse anyone who disobeys these laws and refuses to declare that these laws [are good].’ And all the people must reply, ‘(Amen/We want that to happen).’”
ἐπικατάρατος πᾶς ἄνθρωπος ὃς οὐκ ἐμμενεῖ ἐν πᾶσιν τοῖς λόγοις τοῦ νόμου τούτου τοῦ ποιῆσαι αὐτούς καὶ ἐροῦσιν πᾶς ὁ λαός γένοιτο
