1 καὶ προσέταξεν Μωυσῆς καὶ ἡ γερουσία Ισραηλ λέγων φυλάσσεσθε πάσας τὰς ἐντολὰς ταύτας ὅσας ἐγὼ ἐντέλλομαι ὑμῖν σήμερον 2 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 3 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 4 καὶ ἔσται ὡς ἂν διαβῆτε τὸν Ιορδάνην στήσετε τοὺς λίθους τούτους οὓς ἐγὼ ἐντέλλομαί σοι σήμερον ἐν ὄρει Γαιβαλ καὶ κονιάσεις αὐτοὺς κονίᾳ 5 καὶ οἰκοδομήσεις ἐκεῖ θυσιαστήριον κυρίῳ τῷ θεῷ σου θυσιαστήριον ἐκ λίθων οὐκ ἐπιβαλεῖς ἐ{P'} αὐτοὺς σίδηρον 6 λίθους ὁλοκλήρους οἰκοδομήσεις θυσιαστήριον κυρίῳ τῷ θεῷ σου καὶ ἀνοίσεις ἐ{P'} αὐτὸ ὁλοκαυτώματα κυρίῳ τῷ θεῷ σου 7 καὶ θύσεις ἐκεῖ θυσίαν σωτηρίου κυρίῳ τῷ θεῷ σου καὶ φάγῃ καὶ ἐμπλησθήσῃ καὶ εὐφρανθήσῃ ἐναντίον κυρίου τοῦ θεοῦ σου 8 καὶ γράψεις ἐπὶ τῶν λίθων πάντα τὸν νόμον τοῦτον σαφῶς σφόδρα

1 And now Moses, with the elders of Israel, gave the people this charge: Hold fast all the commandments I have been enjoining on you this day. 2 When you cross the Jordan and reach the land which the Lord means to give you, raise up great stones, and smooth them over with plaster; 3 on these, now that Jordan is passed, and the land I promised, all milk and honey, is yours, the whole tenour of this law must be written down. 4 These plastered slabs, of which I am now speaking, must be set up on mount Hebal, on the further bank of Jordan; 5 and there an altar must be built to the Lord your God, out of stones which no iron has ever touched, 6 stones still rough and unpolished. On this, offer the Lord burnt-sacrifice, 7 and slay victims for a welcome-offering; eat and make good cheer in the Lord’s presence; 8 and then write on the slabs, clearly and distinctly, the whole tenour of this law.

1 Præcepit autem Moyses et seniores Israël populo, dicentes: Custodite omne mandatum quod præcipio vobis hodie. 2 Cumque transieritis Jordanem in terram, quam Dominus Deus tuus dabit tibi, eriges ingentes lapides, et calce lævigabis eos, 3 ut possis in eis scribere omnia verba legis hujus, Jordane transmisso: ut introëas terram, quam Dominus Deus tuus dabit tibi, terram lacte et melle manantem, sicut juravit patribus tuis. 4 Quando ergo transieritis Jordanem, erigite lapides, quos ego hodie præcipio vobis in monte Hebal, et lævigabis eos calce: 5 et ædificabis ibi altare Domino Deo tuo de lapidibus, quos ferrum non tetigit, 6 et de saxis informibus et impolitis: et offeres super eo holocausta Domino Deo tuo, 7 et immolabis hostias pacificas, comedesque ibi, et epulaberis coram Domino Deo tuo. 8 Et scribes super lapides omnia verba legis hujus plane et lucide.

9 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 καὶ εἰσακούσῃ τῆς φωνῆς κυρίου τοῦ θεοῦ σου καὶ ποιήσεις πάσας τὰς ἐντολὰς αὐτοῦ καὶ τὰ δικαιώματα αὐτοῦ ὅσα ἐγὼ ἐντέλλομαί σοι σήμερον

9 Then Moses, with the priests of Levi’s race, said to the whole of Israel: Give heed, Israel, and listen; this day the Lord thy God has made thee his people. 10 Obey his word, and live by all the commandments and decrees I am giving thee.

9 Dixeruntque Moyses et sacerdotes Levitici generis ad omnem Israëlem: Attende, et audi, Israël: hodie factus es populus Domini Dei tui: 10 audies vocem ejus, et facies mandata atque justitias, quas ego præcipio tibi.

11 καὶ ἐνετείλατο Μωυσῆς τῷ λαῷ ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ λέγων 12 οὗτοι στήσονται εὐλογεῖν τὸν λαὸν ἐν ὄρει Γαριζιν διαβάντες τὸν Ιορδάνην Συμεων Λευι Ιουδας Ισσαχαρ Ιωσηφ καὶ Βενιαμιν 13 καὶ οὗτοι στήσονται ἐπὶ τῆς κατάρας ἐν ὄρει Γαιβαλ Ρουβην Γαδ καὶ Ασηρ Ζαβουλων Δαν καὶ Νεφθαλι 14 καὶ ἀποκριθέντες οἱ Λευῖται ἐροῦσιν παντὶ Ισραηλ φωνῇ μεγάλῃ 15 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 ἐπικατάρατος ὁ ἀτιμάζων πατέρα αὐτοῦ ἢ μητέρα αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐροῦσιν πᾶς ὁ λαός γένοιτο 17 ἐπικατάρατος ὁ μετατιθεὶς ὅρια τοῦ πλησίον καὶ ἐροῦσιν πᾶς ὁ λαός γένοιτο 18 ἐπικατάρατος ὁ πλανῶν τυφλὸν ἐν ὁδῷ καὶ ἐροῦσιν πᾶς ὁ λαός γένοιτο 19 ἐπικατάρατος ὃς ἂν ἐκκλίνῃ κρίσιν προσηλύτου καὶ ὀρφανοῦ καὶ χήρας καὶ ἐροῦσιν πᾶς ὁ λαός γένοιτο 20 ἐπικατάρατος ὁ κοιμώμενος μετὰ γυναικὸς τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ ὅτι ἀπεκάλυψεν συγκάλυμμα τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐροῦσιν πᾶς ὁ λαός γένοιτο 21 ἐπικατάρατος ὁ κοιμώμενος μετὰ παντὸς κτήνους καὶ ἐροῦσιν πᾶς ὁ λαός γένοιτο 22 ἐπικατάρατος ὁ κοιμώμενος μετὰ ἀδελφῆς ἐκ πατρὸς ἢ ἐκ μητρὸς αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐροῦσιν πᾶς ὁ λαός γένοιτο 23 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 ἐπικατάρατος ὁ τύπτων τὸν πλησίον αὐτοῦ δόλῳ καὶ ἐροῦσιν πᾶς ὁ λαός γένοιτο 25 ἐπικατάρατος ὃς ἂν λάβῃ δῶρα πατάξαι ψυχὴν αἵματος ἀθῴου καὶ ἐροῦσιν πᾶς ὁ λαός γένοιτο 26 ἐπικατάρατος πᾶς ἄνθρωπος ὃς οὐκ ἐμμενεῖ ἐν πᾶσιν τοῖς λόγοις τοῦ νόμου τούτου τοῦ ποιῆσαι αὐτούς καὶ ἐροῦσιν πᾶς ὁ λαός γένοιτο

11 And at the same time Moses gave the people this message: 12 Jordan once crossed, six tribes must stand on mount Garizim for the blessing of the people, Simeon, Levi, Juda, Issachar, Joseph and Benjamin, 13 and six tribes must stand opposite, on mount Ebal, for the cursing, Ruben, Gad, Aser, Zabulon, Dan and Nephthali. 14 And now the Levites shall cry this proclamation aloud to the whole of Israel, 15 Cursed be the man who makes graven or molten image, a thing detestable to the Lord, however skilled its workmanship, however secret its hiding-place. And here all the people shall answer, Amen. 16 Cursed be the man who refuses to honour father or mother, Amen. 17 Cursed be the man who moves his neighbour’s land-mark, Amen. 18 Cursed be the man who guides the blind amiss, Amen. 19 Cursed be the man who denies justice to alien, orphan and widow, Amen. 20 Cursed be the man who mates with his father’s wife, and comes between his own father’s sheets, Amen. 21 Cursed be the man who mates with any beast, Amen. 22 Cursed be the man who mates with his sister, born of the same father or the same mother, Amen. 23 Cursed be the man who mates with his wife’s mother, Amen. 24 Cursed be the man who wounds his neighbour secretly, Amen. 25 Cursed be the man who accepts a bribe, to swear away an innocent life, Amen. 26 Cursed be the man who does not hold fast to every word of this law, and live by it; and all will say, Amen.

11 Præcepitque Moyses populo in die illo, dicens: 12 Hi stabunt ad benedicendum populo super montem Garizim, Jordane transmisso: Simeon, Levi, Judas, Issachar, Joseph, et Benjamin. 13 Et e regione isti stabunt ad maledicendum in monte Hebal: Ruben, Gad, et Aser, et Zabulon, Dan, et Nephthali. 14 Et pronuntiabunt Levitæ, dicentque ad omnes viros Israël excelsa voce: 15 Maledictus homo qui facit sculptile et conflatile, abominationem Domini, opus manuum artificum, ponetque illud in abscondito: et respondebit omnis populus, et dicet: Amen. 16 Maledictus qui non honorat patrem suum, et matrem: et dicet omnis populus: Amen. 17 Maledictus qui transfert terminos proximi sui: et dicet omnis populus: Amen. 18 Maledictus qui errare facit cæcum in itinere: et dicet omnis populus: Amen. 19 Maledictus qui pervertit judicium advenæ, pupilli et viduæ: et dicet omnis populus: Amen. 20 Maledictus qui dormit cum uxore patris sui, et revelat operimentum lectuli ejus: et dicet omnis populus: Amen. 21 Maledictus qui dormit cum omni jumento: et dicet omnis populus: Amen. 22 Maledictus qui dormit cum sorore sua, filia patris sui, vel matris suæ: et dicet omnis populus: Amen. 23 Maledictus qui dormit cum socru sua: et dicet omnis populus: Amen. 24 Maledictus qui clam percusserit proximum suum: et dicet omnis populus: Amen. 25 Maledictus qui accipit munera, ut percutiat animam sanguinis innocentis: et dicet omnis populus: Amen. 26 Maledictus qui non permanet in sermonibus legis hujus, nec eos opere perficit: et dicet omnis populus: Amen.
