Covenant at Moab

1 These are the words of the covenant, which the LORD commanded Moses to make with the children of Israēl in the land of Moab, beside the covenant which he made with them in Horeb.

אֵלֶּה֩ דִבְרֵ֨י הַבְּרִ֜ית אֲ‍ֽשֶׁר־צִוָּ֧ה יְהוָ֣ה אֶת־מֹשֶׁ֗ה לִכְרֹ֛ת אֶת־בְּנֵ֥י יִשְׂרָאֵ֖ל בְּאֶ֣רֶץ מֹואָ֑ב מִלְּבַ֣ד הַבְּרִ֔ית אֲשֶׁר־כָּרַ֥ת אִתָּ֖ם בְּחֹרֵֽב׃

1 Οὗτοι οἱ λόγοι τῆς διαθήκης, οὓς ἐνετείλατο κύριος Μωυσῇ στῆσαι τοῖς υἱοῖς Ἰσραὴλ ἐν γῇ Μωάβ, πλὴν τῆς διαθήκης, ἧς διέθετο αὐτοῖς ἐν Χωρήβ. 1 Οὗτοι οἱ λόγοι τῆς διαθήκης, οὓς ἐνετείλατο Κύριος Μωυσῇ στῆσαι τοῖς υἱοῖς Ἰσραὴλ ἐν γῇ Μωάβ, πλὴν τῆς διαθήκης, ἧς διέθετο αὐτοῖς ἐν Χωρήβ.
1 hese are the words of the covenant, which the Lord commanded Mōysēs to establish for the sons of Israēl in the land of Mōab, besides the covenant that he had made with them at Chōrēb. 1 hese are the words of the covenant, which the Lord commanded Mōysēs to establish for the sons of Israēl in the land of Mōab, besides the covenant that he had made with them at Chōrēb.

2 And Moses called unto all Israēl, and said unto them, You have seen all that the LORD did before your eyes in the land of Egypt unto Pharaōh, and unto all his servants, and unto all his land;

וַיִּקְרָ֥א מֹשֶׁ֛ה אֶל־כָּל־יִשְׂרָאֵ֖ל וַיֹּ֣אמֶר אֲלֵהֶ֑ם אַתֶּ֣ם רְאִיתֶ֗ם אֵ֣ת כָּל־אֲשֶׁר֩ עָשָׂ֨ה יְהוָ֤ה לְעֵֽינֵיכֶם֙ בְּאֶ֣רֶץ מִצְרַ֔יִם לְפַרְעֹ֥ה וּלְכָל־עֲבָדָ֖יו וּלְכָל־אַרְצֹֽו׃


3 The great temptations which your eyes have seen, the signs, and those great miracles:

הַמַּסֹּות֙ הַגְּדֹלֹ֔ת אֲשֶׁ֥ר רָא֖וּ עֵינֶ֑יךָ הָאֹתֹ֧ת וְהַמֹּפְתִ֛ים הַגְּדֹלִ֖ים הָהֵֽם׃


4 Yet the LORD hasn’t given you a heart to perceive, and eyes to see, and ears to hear, unto this day.

וְלֹֽא־נָתַן֩ יְהוָ֨ה לָכֶ֥ם לֵב֙ לָדַ֔עַת וְעֵינַ֥יִם לִרְאֹ֖ות וְאָזְנַ֣יִם לִשְׁמֹ֑עַ עַ֖ד הַיֹּ֥ום הַזֶּֽה׃


5 And I have led you 40 years in the wilderness: your clothes are not waxen old upon you, and your shoe is not waxen old upon your foot.

וָאֹולֵ֥ךְ אֶתְכֶ֛ם אַרְבָּעִ֥ים שָׁנָ֖ה בַּמִּדְבָּ֑ר לֹֽא־בָל֤וּ שַׂלְמֹֽתֵיכֶם֙ מֵעֲלֵיכֶ֔ם וְנַֽעַלְךָ֥ לֹֽא־בָלְתָ֖ה מֵעַ֥ל רַגְלֶֽךָ׃

5 καὶ ἤγαγεν ὑμᾶς τεσσαράκοντα ἔτη ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ· οὐκ ἐπαλαιώθη τὰ ἱμάτια ὑμῶν, καὶ τὰ ὑποδήματα ὑμῶν οὐ κατετρίβη ἀπὸ τῶν ποδῶν ὑμῶν·
5 καὶ ἤγαγεν ὑμᾶς τεσσαράκοντα ἔτη ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ· οὐκ ἐπαλαιώθη τὰ ἱμάτια ὑμῶν, καὶ τὰ ὑποδήματα ὑμῶν οὐ κατετρίβη ἀπὸ τῶν ποδῶν ὑμῶν·
5 And he led you 40 years in the wilderness. Your clothes haven’t grown old, and your sandals haven’t worn out from your feet; 5 And he led you 40 years in the wilderness. Your clothes haven’t grown old, and your sandals haven’t worn out from your feet;

6 You haven’t eaten bread, neither have you drunk wine or beer: that you might know that I am the LORD your God.

לֶ֚חֶם לֹ֣א אֲכַלְתֶּ֔ם וְיַ֥יִן וְשֵׁכָ֖ר לֹ֣א שְׁתִיתֶ֑ם לְמַ֙עַן֙ תֵּֽדְע֔וּ כִּ֛י אֲנִ֥י יְהוָ֖ה אֱלֹהֵיכֶֽם׃

6 ἄρτον οὐκ ἐφάγετε, οἶνον καὶ σίκερα οὐκ ἐπίετε, ἵνα γνῶτε ὅτι οὗτος κύριος θεὸς ὑμῶν. 6 ἄρτον οὐκ ἐφάγετε, οἶνον καὶ σίκερα οὐκ ἐπίετε, ἵνα γνῶτε, ὅτι Κύριος Θεὸς ὑμῶν ἐγώ.
6 you didn’t eat bread, you didn’t drink wine and beer, so that you may know that he is your Lord God. 6 you didn’t eat bread, you didn’t drink wine and beer, so that you may know that he is your Lord God.

7 And when you came unto this place, Sihon the king of Heshbon, and Og the king of Bashan, came out against us unto battle, and we smote them:

וַתָּבֹ֖אוּ אֶל־הַמָּקֹ֣ום הַזֶּ֑ה וַיֵּצֵ֣א סִיחֹ֣ן מֶֽלֶךְ־חֶ֠שְׁבֹּון וְעֹ֨וג מֶֽלֶךְ־הַבָּשָׁ֧ן לִקְרָאתֵ֛נוּ לַמִּלְחָמָ֖ה וַנַּכֵּֽם׃


8 And we took their land, and gave it for an inheritance unto the Reubenites, and to the Gadites, and to the half tribe of Manasseh.

וַנִּקַּח֙ אֶת־אַרְצָ֔ם וַנִּתְּנָ֣הּ לְנַחֲלָ֔ה לָרֽאוּבֵנִ֖י וְלַגָּדִ֑י וְלַחֲצִ֖י שֵׁ֥בֶט הַֽמְנַשִּֽׁי׃

8 καὶ ἐλάβομεν τὴν γῆν αὐτῶν, καὶ ἔδωκα αὐτὴν ἐν κλήρῳ τῷ Ῥουβὴν καὶ τῷ Γαδδὶ καὶ τῷ ἡμίσει φυλῆς Μανασσῆ. 8 καὶ ἐλάβομεν τὴν γῆν αὐτῶν, καὶ ἔδωκα αὐτὴν ἐν κλήρῳ τῷ Ῥουβὴν καὶ τῷ Γαδδὶ καὶ τῷ ἡμίσει φυλῆς Μανασσῆ.
8 And we took their land, and I gave it as an allotment to Rhoubēn and to Gaddi and to the half-tribe of Manassē. 8 And we took their land, and I gave it as an allotment to Rhoubēn and to Gaddi and to the half-tribe of Manassē.

9 Keep therefore the words of this covenant, and do them, that you may prosper in all that you do.

וּשְׁמַרְתֶּ֗ם אֶת־דִּבְרֵי֙ הַבְּרִ֣ית הַזֹּ֔את וַעֲשִׂיתֶ֖ם אֹתָ֑ם לְמַ֣עַן תַּשְׂכִּ֔ילוּ אֵ֖ת כָּל־אֲשֶׁ֥ר תַּעֲשֽׂוּן׃

9 And you shall be careful to do all the words of this covenant in order that you may understand everything that you shall do. 9 And you shall be careful to do all the words of this covenant in order that you may understand everything that you shall do.

10 You stand this day all of you before the LORD your God; your captains of your tribes, your elders, and your officers, with all the men of Israēl,

אַתֶּ֨ם נִצָּבִ֤ים הַיֹּום֙ כֻּלְּכֶ֔ם לִפְנֵ֖י יְהוָ֣ה אֱלֹהֵיכֶ֑ם רָאשֵׁיכֶ֣ם שִׁבְטֵיכֶ֗ם זִקְנֵיכֶם֙ וְשֹׁ֣טְרֵיכֶ֔ם כֹּ֖ל אִ֥ישׁ יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃

12 That you should enter into covenant with the LORD your God, and into his oath, which the LORD your God makes with you this day:

לְעָבְרְךָ֗ בִּבְרִ֛ית יְהוָ֥ה אֱלֹהֶ֖יךָ וּבְאָלָתֹ֑ו אֲשֶׁר֙ יְהוָ֣ה אֱלֹהֶ֔יךָ כֹּרֵ֥ת עִמְּךָ֖ הַיֹּֽום׃

12 so that you may enter in the covenant of your Lord God, and in his imprecations, which your Lord God is making with you today 12 so that you may enter in the covenant of your Lord God, and in his imprecations, which your Lord God is making with you today

13 That he may establish you today for a people unto himself, and that he may be unto you a God, as he has said unto you, and as he has sworn unto your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob.

לְמַ֣עַן הָקִֽים־אֹתְךָ֩ הַיֹּ֨ום ׀ לֹ֜ו לְעָ֗ם וְה֤וּא יִֽהְיֶה־לְּךָ֙ לֵֽאלֹהִ֔ים כַּאֲשֶׁ֖ר דִּבֶּר־לָ֑ךְ וְכַאֲשֶׁ֤ר נִשְׁבַּע֙ לַאֲבֹתֶ֔יךָ לְאַבְרָהָ֥ם לְיִצְחָ֖ק וּֽלְיַעֲקֹֽב׃

13 ἵνα στήσῃ σὲ αὐτῷ εἰς λαόν, καὶ αὐτὸς ἔσται σου θεός, ὃν τρόπον εἶπέν σοι, καὶ ὃν τρόπον ὤμοσεν τοῖς πατράσιν σου Ἁβραὰμ καὶ Ἰσαὰκ καὶ Ἰακώβ. 13 ἵνα στήσῃ σε αὐτῷ εἰς λαόν, καὶ αὐτὸς ἔσται σου Θεός, ὃν τρόπον εἶπέ σοι, καὶ ὃν τρόπον ὤμοσε τοῖς πατράσι σου, Ἁβραὰμ καὶ Ἰσαὰκ καὶ Ἰακώβ.
13 in order that he may establish you as a people for himself, and he shall be your god, as he said to you and as he swore to your fathers Habraam and Isaak and Jakōb. 13 in order that he may establish you as a people for himself, and he shall be your god, as he said to you and as he swore to your fathers Habraam and Isaak and Jakōb.

14 Neither with you only do I make this covenant and this oath;

וְלֹ֥א אִתְּכֶ֖ם לְבַדְּכֶ֑ם אָנֹכִ֗י כֹּרֵת֙ אֶת־הַבְּרִ֣ית הַזֹּ֔את וְאֶת־הָאָלָ֖ה הַזֹּֽאת׃

14 And I am establishing this covenant and this imprecation, not with you alone, 14 And I am establishing this covenant and this imprecation, not with you alone,

15 But with him who stands here with us this day before the LORD our God, and also with him who is not here with us this day:

כִּי֩ אֶת־אֲשֶׁ֨ר יֶשְׁנֹ֜ו פֹּ֗ה עִמָּ֙נוּ֙ עֹמֵ֣ד הַיֹּ֔ום לִפְנֵ֖י יְהוָ֣ה אֱלֹהֵ֑ינוּ וְאֵ֨ת אֲשֶׁ֥ר אֵינֶ֛נּוּ פֹּ֖ה עִמָּ֥נוּ הַיֹּֽום׃

15 but also with those who are here with us today before our Lord God and with those who are not here with us today, 15 but also with those who are here with you today before your Lord God and with those who are not here with you today,

16 (For you know how we have dwelt in the land of Egypt; and how we came through the nations which you passed by;

16 because you know how we lived in the land of Aigypt and how we passed through the midst of the nations through which you passed. 16 because you know how we lived in the land of Aigypt and how we passed through the midst of the nations through which you passed.

17 And you have seen their abominations, and their idols, wood and stone, silver and gold, which were among them:)

18 Lest there should be among you man, or woman, or family, or tribe, whose heart turns away this day from the LORD our God, to go and serve the gods of these nations; lest there should be among you a root that bears gall and wormwood;

19 And it come to pass, when he hears the words of this curse, that he bless himself in his heart, saying, I shall have peace, though I walk in the imagination of my heart, to add drunkenness to thirst:

וְהָיָ֡ה בְּשָׁמְעֹו֩ אֶת־דִּבְרֵ֨י הָֽאָלָ֜ה הַזֹּ֗את וְהִתְבָּרֵ֨ךְ בִּלְבָבֹ֤ו לֵאמֹר֙ שָׁלֹ֣ום יִֽהְיֶה־לִּ֔י כִּ֛י בִּשְׁרִר֥וּת לִבִּ֖י אֵלֵ֑ךְ לְמַ֛עַן סְפֹ֥ות הָרָוָ֖ה אֶת־הַצְּמֵאָֽה׃

19 And it shall be, if he hears the words of this imprecation and declares in his heart, saying: “May pious things become mine, because I shall walk in the digression of my heart,” lest the sinner destroy the innocent as well, 19 And it shall be, if he hears the words of this imprecation and declares in his heart, saying: “May pious things become mine, because I shall walk in the digression of my heart,” lest the sinner destroy the innocent as well,

20 The LORD won’t spare him, but then the anger of the LORD and his jealousy shall smoke against that man, and all the curses that are written in this book shall lie upon him, and the LORD shall blot out his name from under heaven.

20 God doesn’t want to pardon him, but the Lord’s wrath and his zeal will then explode against that man.

21 And the LORD shall separate him unto evil out of all the tribes of Israēl, according to all the curses of the covenant that are written in this book of the law:

22 So that the generation to come of your children that shall rise up after you, and the stranger that shall come from a far land, shall say, when they see the plagues of that land, and the sicknesses which the LORD has laid upon it;

23 And that the whole land of it is brimstone, and salt, and burning, that it is not sown, nor bears, nor any grass grows in it, like the overthrow of Sodom, and Gomorrah, Admah, and Zeboim, which the LORD overthrew in his anger, and in his wrath:

25 Then men shall say, Because they have forsaken the covenant of the LORD God of their fathers, which he made with them when he brought them forth out of the land of Egypt:

25 καὶ ἐροῦσιν ὅτι κατελίποσαν τὴν διαθήκην κυρίου τοῦ θεοῦ τῶν πατέρων αὐτῶν, διέθετο τοῖς πατράσιν αὐτῶν, ὅτε ἐξήγαγεν αὐτοὺς ἐκ γῆς Αἰγύπτου, 25 καὶ ἐροῦσιν· ὅτι κατέλιπον τὴν διαθήκην Κυρίου τοῦ Θεοῦ τῶν πατέρων αὐτῶν, διέθετο τοῖς πατράσιν αὐτῶν, ὅτε ἐξήγαγεν αὐτοὺς ἐκ γῆς Αἰγύπτου,
25 And they will say, “Because they abandoned the covenant of the Lord, the God of their fathers, which he covenanted with their fathers when he brought them out of the land of Aigypt. 25 And they will say, “Because they abandoned the covenant of the Lord, the God of their fathers, which he covenanted with their fathers when he brought them out of the land of Aigypt.

26 For they went and served other gods, and worshipped them, gods whom they didn’t know, and whom he had not given unto them:

וַיֵּלְכ֗וּ וַיַּֽעַבְדוּ֙ אֱלֹהִ֣ים אֲחֵרִ֔ים וַיִּֽשְׁתַּחֲוּ֖וּ לָהֶ֑ם אֱלֹהִים֙ אֲשֶׁ֣ר לֹֽא־יְדָע֔וּם וְלֹ֥א חָלַ֖ק לָהֶֽם׃

26 καὶ πορευθέντες ἐλάτρευσαν θεοῖς ἑτέροις καὶ προσεκύνησαν αὐτοῖς, οἷς οὐκ ἠπίσταντο οὐδὲ διένειμεν αὐτοῖς·
26 καὶ πορευθέντες ἐλάτρευσαν θεοῖς ἑτέροις, οὓς οὐκ ἠπίσταντο, οὐδὲ διένειμεν αὐτοῖς·
26 And having gone, they served other gods and worshpped them whom they had not known, neither had he distributed to them, 26 And having gone, they served other gods and worshpped them whom they had not known, neither had he distributed to them,

27 And the anger of the LORD was kindled against this land, to bring upon it all the curses that are written in this book:

וַיִּֽחַר־אַ֥ף יְהוָ֖ה בָּאָ֣רֶץ הַהִ֑וא לְהָבִ֤יא עָלֶ֙יהָ֙ אֶת־כָּל־הַקְּלָלָ֔ה הַכְּתוּבָ֖ה בַּסֵּ֥פֶר הַזֶּֽה׃

27 καὶ ὠργίσθη θυμῷ κύριος ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν ἐκείνην ἐπαγαγεῖν ἐπ’ αὐτὴν κατὰ πάσας τὰς κατάρας τὰς γεγραμμένας ἐν τῷ βιβλίῳ τοῦ νόμου τούτου, 27 καὶ ὠργίσθη θυμῷ Κύριος ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν ἐκείνην ἐπαγαγεῖν ἐπ’ αὐτὴν κατὰ πάσας τὰς κατάρας τὰς γεγραμμένας ἐν τῷ βιβλίῳ τοῦ νόμου τούτου,
27 and the Lord became angry with wrath against that land, to bring on it according to all the curses written in the book of this law, 27 and the Lord became angry with wrath against that land, to bring on it according to all the curses written in the book of this law,

28 And the LORD rooted them out of their land in anger, and in wrath, and in great indignation, and cast them into another land, as it is this day.

וַיִּתְּשֵׁ֤ם יְהוָה֙ מֵעַ֣ל אַדְמָתָ֔ם בְּאַ֥ף וּבְחֵמָ֖ה וּבְקֶ֣צֶף גָּדֹ֑ול וַיַּשְׁלִכֵ֛ם אֶל־אֶ֥רֶץ אַחֶ֖רֶת כַּיֹּ֥ום הַזֶּֽה׃

28 καὶ ἐξῆρεν αὐτοὺς κύριος ἀπὸ τῆς γῆς αὐτῶν ἐν θυμῷ καὶ ὀργῇ καὶ παροξυσμῷ μεγάλῳ σφόδρα καὶ ἐξέβαλεν αὐτοὺς εἰς γῆν ἑτέραν ὡσεὶ νῦν. 28 καὶ ἐξῇρεν αὐτοὺς Κύριος ἀπὸ τῆς γῆς αὐτῶν ἐν θυμῷ καὶ ὀργῇ καὶ παροξυσμῷ μεγάλῳ σφόδρα, καὶ ἐξέβαλεν αὐτοὺς εἰς γῆν ἑτέραν ὡσεὶ νῦν.
28 And the Lord removed them from their land in anger and wrath and very great provocation and threw them out into another land, as it is now.” 28 And the Lord removed them from their land in anger and wrath and very great provocation and threw them out into another land, as it is now.”

29 The secret things belong unto the LORD our God: but those things which are revealed belong unto us and to our children forever, that we may do all the words of this law.

הַ֨נִּסְתָּרֹ֔ת לַיהוָ֖ה אֱלֹהֵ֑ינוּ וְהַנִּגְלֹ֞ת לָ֤̣נ̣וּ̣ עַד־עֹולָ֔ם לַעֲשֹׂ֕ות אֶת־כָּל־דִּבְרֵ֖י הַתֹּורָ֥ה הַזֹּֽאת׃

29 τὰ κρυπτὰ κυρίῳ τῷ θεῷ ἡμῶν τὰ δὲ φανερὰ ἡμῖν καὶ τοῖς τέκνοις ἡμῶν εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα ποιεῖν πάντα τὰ ῥήματα τοῦ νόμου τούτου. 29 τὰ κρυπτὰ Κυρίῳ τῷ Θεῷ ἡμῶν, τὰ δὲ φανερὰ ἡμῖν καὶ τοῖς τέκνοις ἡμῶν εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα, ποιεῖν πάντα τὰ ῥήματα τοῦ νόμου τούτου.
