Deuteronomy 32
1 “Listen to me, [all you who are in the] heavens, and [all you who are on the] earth, listen to what I say [MTY].
Πρόσεχε, ουρανέ, και θέλω λαλήσει· και ας ακούη η γη τους λόγους του στόματός μου.
2 I wish/desire that my teaching will fall on you like rain drops or be like dew on the ground, and be like a gentle rain on the young plants, like showers on the grass.
Η διδασκαλία μου θέλει σταλάξει ως η βροχή, ο λόγος μου θέλει καταβή ως η δρόσος, ως η ψεκάς επί την χλόην και ως ο όμβρος επί τον χόρτον·
3 I will praise Yahweh [MTY]. And [all you people should] tell others that our God is very great.
διότι θέλω εξυμνήσει το όνομα του Κυρίου· απόδοτε μεγαλωσύνην εις τον Θεόν ημών.
4 He is like a rock [MET] [under which we are protected]; [everything] that he does is perfect and completely just/fair [DOU]. He always does what he says that he will do; he never does anything that is wrong.
Αυτός είναι ο Βράχος, τα έργα αυτού είναι τέλεια· διότι πάσαι αι οδοί αυτού είναι κρίσις· Θεός πιστός, και δεν υπάρχει αδικία εν αυτώ· δίκαιος και ευθύς είναι αυτός.
5 “But [you Israeli people] have been very unfaithful to him; because of your sins, you no longer [deserve to] be his children. You are extremely wicked and deceitful [DOU].
Ούτοι διεφθάρησαν· η κηλίς αυτών δεν είναι κηλίς των υιών αυτού· είναι γενεά σκολιά και διεστραμμένη.
6 You foolish and senseless [DOU] people, (is this the way that you should repay Yahweh [for all that he has done for you]?/this is certainly not the way that you should repay Yahweh [for all that he has done for you].) [RHQ] He is your father; he created you [RHQ]; he caused you to become a nation.
Ταύτα ανταποδίδετε εις τον Κύριον, λαέ μωρέ και ασύνετε; δεν είναι αυτός ο πατήρ σου, όστις σε εξηγόρασεν; αυτός όστις σε έπλασε και σε εμόρφωσεν;
7 “Think about [what happened] long ago; consider what happened to your ancestors. Ask your parents, and they will inform you; ask the older people, and they will tell you.
Ενθυμήθητι τας αρχαίας ημέρας, συλλογίσθητι τα έτη πολλών γενεών· ερώτησον τον πατέρα σου, και αυτός θέλει σοι αναγγείλει, τους πρεσβυτέρους σου, και αυτοί θέλουσι σοι ειπεί·
8 When God, who is greater than any other god, long ago divided the people into groups, he assigned to the nations their land. He determined where each people-group should live and (assigned to/chose for) each people-group a god/angel.
ότε διεμέριζεν ο Ύψιστος τα έθνη, ότε διέσπειρε τους υιούς του Αδάμ, έστησε τα όρια των λαών κατά τον αριθμόν των υιών Ισραήλ.
9 But Yahweh decided that we would be his people; he chose [us, the descendants of] Jacob, to belong to him.
Διότι η μερίς του Κυρίου είναι ο λαός αυτού, ο Ιακώβ είναι το μέρος της κληρονομίας αυτού.
10 “He saw [our ancestors] when they were in a desert, wandering in a land (that was desolate/where no people lived). He protected them and took care of them, as every person takes good care of his own eyes. [SIM, IDM]
Εν γη ερήμω εύρηκεν αυτόν, και εν ερημία φρίκης και ολολυγμού· περιωδήγησεν αυτόν, επαιδαγώγησεν αυτόν, εφύλαξεν αυτόν ως κόρην οφθαλμού αυτού.
11 [Yahweh protected his people] just like an eagle encourages its babies [to fly] and flutters over them [MET], spreading its wings and catching them [if they start to fall].
Καθώς ο αετός σκεπάζει την φωλεάν αυτού, περιθάλπει τους νεοσσούς αυτού, εξαπλόνων τας πτέρυγας αυτού αναλαμβάνει αυτούς, και σηκόνει αυτούς επί των πτερύγων αυτού,
12 Yahweh was the only one who led them; no other foreign god helped him.
ούτως ο Κύριος μόνος ώδήγησεν αυτόν, και δεν ήτο μετ' αυτού ξένος Θεός.
13 “[After they entered the land that Yahweh promised to give to them], Yahweh enabled them to rule the hilly areas; they ate the crops that grew in the fields. They found honey in the rocks, and their olive trees [MTY] grew [even] in stony ground.
Ανεβίβασεν αυτούς επί τα έξοχα μέρη της γης, και έφαγον τα γεννήματα των αγρών· και εθήλασεν αυτούς μέλι εκ της πέτρας, και έλαιον εκ της σκληράς πέτρας,
14 The cows gave them plenty of curds/yogurt, the goats gave them plenty of milk, they had well-fed sheep and cattle, they had very good wheat, and they made delicious wine from their grapes.
Βούτυρον βοών και γάλα προβάτων, με πάχος αρνίων, και κριών θρεμμάτων της Βασάν, και τράγων, μετά του εξαιρέτου άνθους του σίτου· και έπιες οίνον, αίμα σταφυλής.
15 “The Israeli people became rich and prosperous, but then they rebelled against God; they abandoned him, the one who created them, the one who powerfully saves them.
Ο δε Ιεσουρούν επαχύνθη και απελάκτισεν· επαχύνθης, επλατύνθης, υπερελιπάνθης· τότε ελησμόνησε τον Θεόν τον πλάσαντα αυτόν, και κατεφρόνησε τον Βράχον της σωτηρίας αυτού.
16 So he abandoned them because they started to worship other/strange gods. Because of their worshiping disgusting idols, he became angry.
Παρώξυναν αυτόν εις ζηλοτυπίαν με ξένους θεούς, με βδελύγματα παρώξυναν αυτόν εις θυμόν·
17 They offered sacrifices to gods who were [really] demons, gods that their ancestors had never known; they offered sacrifices to gods that they had recently found out about, gods whom your ancestors had never revered.
εθυσίασαν εις δαιμόνια, ουχί εις τον Θεόν· εις θεούς, τους οποίους δεν εγνώριζον, εις νέους θεούς νεωστί εισαχθέντας, τους οποίους δεν ελάτρευον οι πατέρες σας·
18 They forgot [the true] God, the one who protects them [MET], the one who created them and caused them to live.
τον δε Βράχον τον γεννήσαντά σε εγκατέλιπες, και ελησμόνησας τον Θεόν τον πλάσαντά σε.
19 “When Yahweh saw that [they had abandoned him], he became angry, so he rejected [the Israeli people, who are like] his sons and daughters.
Και είδεν ο Κύριος και απεστράφη αυτούς, διότι παρώργισαν αυτόν οι υιοί αυτού και αι θυγατέρες αυτού·
20 He said, ‘They are very wicked/stubborn people, very unfaithful; so I will no longer help them, and then I will watch and see what happens to them.
και είπε, Θέλω αποστρέψει το πρόσωπόν μου απ' αυτών, θέλω ιδεί οποίον θέλει είσθαι το τέλος αυτών· διότι αυτοί είναι γενεά διεστραμμένη, υιοί εις τους οποίους δεν υπάρχει πίστις.
21 They made me very angry because of their worshiping idols, which are not really gods; they have caused me to be [jealous [MET] because I want them to worship only me]. So now, in order to cause them to become jealous, I will send [to attack them an army of] a nation of worthless and foolish people.
Αυτοί με παρώξυναν εις ζηλοτυπίαν με τα μη όντα θεόν· με τα είδωλα αυτών με παρώργισαν· και εγώ θέλω παροξύνει αυτούς εις ζηλοτυπίαν με τους μη όντας λαόν, με έθνος ασύνετον θέλω παροργίσει αυτούς.
22 I will be very angry, and I will destroy them like a fire that will burn on the earth and all the way down to the place where dead people are [MET]; that fire will destroy the earth and everything that grows on it, and it will even burn what is down under the mountains. (Sheol h7585)
Διότι πυρ εξήφθη εν τω θυμώ μου, και θέλει εκκαυθή έως εις τα κατώτατα του άδου, και θέλει καταφάγει την γην μετά των γεννημάτων αυτής, και θέλει καταφλογίσει τα θεμέλια των ορέων. (Sheol h7585)
23 I will cause them to experience many disasters; [they will feel as though] [MET] I am shooting all my arrows at them.
Θέλω επισωρεύσει επ' αυτούς κακά, πάντα τα βέλη μου θέλω εκκενώσει επ' αυτούς.
24 They will die because of being hungry and because of having hot fevers and because of terrible diseases; I will send wild animals to attack [MTY] them, and poisonous snakes to bite [MTY] them.
Θέλουσιν αναλωθή εκ της πείνης και καταφαγωθή με φλογώδεις νόσους, και με πικρόν όλεθρον· και οδόντας θηρίων θέλω εξαποστείλει επ' αυτούς, και φαρμάκιον των ερπόντων επί της γης.
25 Outside [their houses, their enemies] will kill them [MTY] with swords, and in their homes, [their enemies will cause] them to be terrified. Their enemies will kill young men and young women, and they will kill infants and old people with gray hair.
Έξωθεν μάχαιρα, και έσωθεν τρόμος, θέλει καταναλώσει τον τε νέον και την παρθένον, το θηλάζον νήπιον και τον πολιόν γέροντα.
26 I wanted to scatter the Israeli people to distant countries in order that no one would ever remember them.
Είπα, Ήθελον διασκορπίσει αυτούς, ήθελον εξαλείψει το μνημόσυνον αυτών εκ μέσου των ανθρώπων,
27 But [if I did that], their enemies would wrongly boast that they were the ones who had [gotten rid of my people]; they would say, “We [SYN] are the ones who defeated them; it was not Yahweh who has done all these things.”’
εάν δεν εφοβούμην την οργήν του εχθρού, μη πως υψηλοφρονήσωσιν οι εναντίοι αυτών, και είπωσιν, Η χειρ ημών η υψηλή, και ουχί ο Κύριος, έκαμε πάντα ταύτα.
28 You Israelis are a nation of people who do not have any sense. None of you is wise.
Διότι είναι έθνος ασύνετον, και δεν υπάρχει εν αυτοίς φρόνησις.
29 If you were wise, you would understand [why you would be punished]; you would have realized what was going to happen to you.
Είθε να ήσαν σοφοί, να ενόουν τούτο, να εσυλλογίζοντο το τέλος αυτών
30 [You would have realized] why 1,000 [of your soldiers] would be defeated by only one [of the enemy soldiers], and why two of your enemies would chase away 10,000 [Israeli soldiers]. [You would realize that this would happen] only if God, the one who always defended you [MET], had allowed your enemies to defeat you, because he had abandoned you.
Πως ήθελε δυνηθή εις να διώξη χιλίους, και δύο να τρέψωσιν εις φυγήν μυριάδας, εάν ο Βράχος αυτών δεν ήθελε πωλήσει αυτούς, και δεν ήθελε παραδώσει αυτούς ο Κύριος;
31 Your enemies know that their gods are not powerful like Yahweh, our God, [so their gods could not have defeated us Israelis].
Διότι ο βράχος αυτών δεν είναι ως ο Βράχος ημών· και αυτοί οι εχθροί ημών ας κρίνωσιν.
32 Your enemies are like [MET] grapevines planted near [the ruins of] Sodom and Gomorrah [cities]; the grapes from those vines are bitter and poisonous;
Επειδή εκ της αμπέλου των Σοδόμων είναι η άμπελος αυτών, και εκ των αγρών της Γομόρρας· η σταφυλή αυτών είναι σταφυλή χολής, οι βότρεις αυτών πικροί·
33 the wine [from those grapes] is like the poison of snakes [DOU].
ο οίνος αυτών φαρμάκιον δρακόντων, και ανίατος ιός ασπίδος.
34 [“Yahweh says], ‘I know [RHQ] [what I have planned to do to the Israeli people and to their enemies], and those plans are so secure [that it as though he locked them up] [MET].
Δεν είναι τούτο αποτεταμιευμένον εις εμέ, εσφραγισμένον εις τους θησαυρούς μου;
35 I am the one who will get revenge and pay those enemies back for what they have done [to my people], at the right time for them to be punished [IDM]; they will soon experience disasters, and I will punish/destroy them quickly.’
Εις εμέ ανήκει η εκδίκησις και η ανταπόδοσις· ο πους αυτών εν καιρώ θέλει ολισθήσει διότι πλησίον είναι η ημέρα της απωλείας αυτών, και τα μέλλοντα να έλθωσιν επ' αυτούς σπεύδουσι.
36 “But Yahweh will see that you who are truly his people, who (are innocent/have not done things that are wrong), and he will be merciful to you. And he will see that you are helpless, and that there are very few of you, slaves or free people, who are still alive.
Διότι ο Κύριος θέλει κρίνει τον λαόν αυτού, και θέλει μεταμεληθή διά τους δούλους αυτού, όταν ίδη ότι απωλέσθη η δύναμις αυτών, και δεν έμεινεν ουδέν πεφυλαγμένον ουδέ αφειμένον.
37 Then Yahweh will ask his people, ‘Where are the gods that you thought would protect you [MET]?
Και θέλει ειπεί, Που είναι οι θεοί αυτών, ο βράχος εις τον οποίον είχον το θάρρος αυτών;
38 You gave to those gods the best parts of the animals that you sacrificed, and you poured out wine for them to drink. So, they should begin to help you; they should be the ones who will protect you!
οίτινες έτρωγον το πάχος των θυσιών αυτών, και έπινον τον οίνον των σπονδών αυτών; ας σηκωθώσι και ας σας βοηθήσωσιν, ας γείνωσιν εις εσάς σκέπη.
39 “But now you will realize that I, only I, am God; there is no other god who is [a real] god. I am the one who can kill people and who can cause people to live; I can wound people, and I can heal people, and there is no one who can prevent me from doing those things.
Ίδετε τώρα ότι εγώ, εγώ είμαι, και δεν είναι Θεός πλην εμού· εγώ θανατόνω και ζωοποιώ· εγώ πληγόνω και ιατρεύω· και δεν υπάρχει ο ελευθερών εκ της χειρός μου.
40 I raise my hand toward heaven and solemnly declare that just as sure as I live forever,
Διότι εγώ υψόνω εις τον ουρανόν την χείρα μου, Και λέγω, Ζω εγώ εις τον αιώνα·
41 that when I sharpen my sword, as I [SYN] prepare to punish people, I will get revenge on my enemies; I will pay back those who hate me.
εάν ακονίσω την αστραπηφόρον μάχαιράν μου, και επιβάλω την χείρα μου εις κρίσιν, θέλω κάμει εκδίκησιν εις τους εχθρούς μου, και θέλω ανταποδώσει εις τους μισούντάς με·
42 I will kill all [of my enemies] with a sword; it will be as though I had arrows that will be covered with their blood. I will kill [MTY] all those whom I capture and cut off their leaders’ heads.’
θέλω μεθύσει τα βέλη μου από αίματος, και η μάχαιρά μου θέλει καταφάγει κρέατα, από του αίματος των πεφονευμένων και των αιχμαλώτων, από της κεφαλής των αρχόντων των εχθρών.
43 “You people of all nations, you as well as his people should praise Yahweh, because Yahweh gets revenge on those who kill the people who serve him; and he cleanses his people’s land which has become defiled because of their sins.”
Ευφράνθητε, έθνη, μετά του λαού αυτού· διότι θέλει εκδικήσει το αίμα των δούλων αυτού, και αποδώσει εκδίκησιν εις τους εναντίους αυτού, και καθαρίσει την γην αυτού και τον λαόν αυτού.
44 Joshua and Moses/I recited the words of that song while the Israeli people were listening.
Και ήλθεν ο Μωϋσής, και ελάλησε πάντας τους λόγους της ωδής ταύτης εις επήκοον του λαού, αυτός και Ιησούς ο υιός του Ναυή.
45 When they/we finished reciting to the Israeli people the words of this song,
Και ετελείωσεν ο Μωϋσής λαλών πάντας τους λόγους τούτους προς πάντα τον Ισραήλ.
46 Moses/I said, “Never forget all these commands that I have been giving you today. Teach these laws to your children, in order that they will faithfully obey all of them.
Και είπε προς αυτούς, Θέσατε τας καρδίας σας εις πάντας τους λόγους, τους οποίους εγώ σήμερον διαμαρτύρομαι προς εσάς· τους οποίους θέλετε παραγγείλει εις τα τέκνα σας να προσέχωσιν εις το να εκτελώσι, πάντας τους λόγους του νόμου τούτου.
47 These instructions are very important [LIT]. If [you obey] them, you will live a long time in the land that you are about to cross the Jordan [River] to occupy.”
Διότι ούτος δεν είναι εις εσάς λόγος μάταιος· επειδή αύτη είναι η ζωή σας· και διά του λόγου τούτου θέλετε μακροημερεύσει επί της γης, προς την οποίαν διαβαίνετε τον Ιορδάνην διά να κληρονομήσητε αυτήν.
48 On that same day, Yahweh said to Moses/me,
Και ελάλησε Κύριος προς τον Μωϋσήν την αυτήν εκείνην ημέραν, λέγων,
49 “Go to the Abarim Mountain range [here] in the Moab region, across from Jericho. Climb Nebo Mountain, and look [toward the west] to see Canaan land, the land that I am about to give to the Israeli people.
Ανάβα εις το όρος τούτο Αβαρίμ, εις το όρος Νεβώ, το εν τη γη Μωάβ κατέναντι της Ιεριχώ· και θεώρησον την γην Χαναάν, την οποίαν εγώ δίδω εις τους υιούς Ισραήλ εις ιδιοκτησίαν·
50 You will die on that mountain [EUP, DOU], like your [older] brother Aaron died on Hor Mountain.
και τελεύτησον εν τω όρει όπου αναβαίνεις, και προστέθητι εις τον λαόν σου, καθώς ο αδελφός σου Ααρών ετελεύτησεν εν τω όρει Ωρ και προσετέθη εις τον λαόν αυτού·
51 You will die because both of you disobeyed me in the presence of the Israeli people, when you all were at Meribah Springs near Kadesh [town] in the Zin Desert. You did not honor and respect me in the presence of the Israeli people in the way that I deserve because I am God.
διότι ηπειθήσατε εις εμέ μεταξύ των υιών Ισραήλ εις τα ύδατα της Μεριβά-κάδης, εν τη ερήμω Σίν· επειδή δεν με ηγιάσατε εν μέσω των υιών Ισραήλ·
52 [When you are on that mountain where I told you to go], you will see in the distance in front of you the land that I am about to give to the Israeli people, but you will not enter it.”
όθεν απέναντι θέλεις ιδεί την γην, εκεί όμως δεν θέλεις εισέλθει, εις την γην την οποίαν εγώ δίδω εις τους υιούς Ισραήλ.
