Septuagint (Brenton Greek text, with Apocrypha)
1Thou shalt not receive the voice of a lie: neither shalt thou join thy hand to bear false witness for a wicked person.
1Οὐ παραδέξῃ ἀκοὴν ματαίαν· οὐ συγκαταθήσῃ μετὰ τοῦ ἀδίκου γενέσθαι μάρτυς ἄδικος.
2Thou shalt not follow the multitude to do evil: neither shalt thou yield in judgment, to the opinion of the most part, to stray from the truth.
2Οὐκ ἔσῃ μετὰ πλειόνων ἐπὶ κακίᾳ· οὐ προστεθήσῃ μετὰ πλήθους ἐκκλῖναι μετὰ τῶν πλειόνων, ὥστε ἑκκλεῖσαι κρίσιν.
3Neither shalt thou favour a poor man in judgment.
3Καὶ πένητα οὐκ ἐλεήσεις ἐν κρίσει.
4If thou meet thy enemy’s ox or ass going astray, bring it back to him.
4Ἐὰν δὲ συναντήσῃς τῷ βοῒ τοῦ ἐχθροῦ σου, ἢ τῷ ὑποζυγίῳ αὐτοῦ πλανωμένοις, ἀποστρέψας ἀποδώσεις αὐτῷ.
5If thou see the ass of him that hateth thee lie underneath his burden, thou shalt not pass by, but shalt lift him up with him.
5Ἐὰν δὲ ἴδῃς τὸ ὑποζύγιον τοῦ ἐχθροῦ σου πεπτωκὸς ὑπὸ τὸν γόμον αὐτοῦ, οὐ παρελεύσῃ αὐτὸ, ἀλλὰ συναρεῖς αὐτὸ μετʼ αὐτοῦ.
6Thou shalt not go aside in the poor man’s judgment.
6Οὐ διαστρέψεις κρίμα πένητος ἐν κρίσει αὐτοῦ.
7Thou shalt fly lying. The innocent and just person thou shalt not put to death: because I abhor the wicked.
7Ἀπὸ παντὸς ῥήματος ἀδίκου ἀποστήσῃ· ἀθῷον καὶ δίκαιον οὐκ ἀποκτενεῖς· καὶ οὐ δικαιώσεις τὸν ἀσεβῆ ἕνεκεν δώρων.
8Neither shalt thou take bribes, which even blind the wise, and pervert the words of the just.
8Καὶ δῶρα οὐ λήψῃ· τὰ γὰρ δῶρα ἐκτυφλοῖ ὀφθαλμοὺς βλεπόντων, καὶ λυμαῖνεται ῥήματα δίκαια.
9Thou shalt not molest a stranger, for you know the hearts of strangers: for you also were strangers in the land of Egypt.
9Καὶ προσήλυτον οὐ θλίψετε· ὑμεῖς γὰρ οἴδατε τὴν ψυχὴν τοῦ προσηλύτου· αὐτοὶ γὰρ προσήλυτοι ἦτε ἐν γῇ Αἰγύπτῳ.
10Six years thou shalt sow thy ground, and shalt gather the corn thereof.
10Ἓξ ἔτη σπερεῖς τὴν γῆν σου, καὶ συνάξεις τὰ γεννήματα αὐτῆς.
11But the seventh year thou shalt let it alone, and suffer it to rest, that the poor of thy people may eat, and whatsoever shall be left, let the beasts of the field eat it: so shalt thou do with thy vineyard and thy oliveyard.
11Τῷ δὲ ἑβδόμῳ ἄφεσιν ποιήσεις, καὶ ἀνήσεις αὐτὴν, καὶ ἔδονται οἱ πτωχοὶ τοῦ ἔθνους σου· τὰ δὲ ὑπολειπόμενα ἔδεται τὰ ἄγρια θηρία· οὕτως ποιήσεις τὸν ἀμπελῶνά σου, καὶ τὸν ἐλαιῶνά σου.
12Six days thou shalt work: the seventh day thou shalt cease, that thy ox and thy ass may rest: and the son of thy handmaid and the stranger may be refreshed.
12Ἓξ ἡμέρας ποιήσεις τὰ ἔργα σου, τῇ δὲ ἡμέρᾳ τῇ ἑβδόμῃ, ἀνάπαυσις· ἵνα ἀναπαύσηται ὁ βοῦς σου, καὶ τὸ ὑποζύγιόν σου, καὶ ἵνα ἀναψύξῃ ὁ υἱὸς τῆς παιδίσκης σου καὶ ὁ προσήλυτος.
13Keep all things that I have said to you. And by the name of strange gods you shall not swear, neither shall it be heard out of your mouth.
13Πάντα ὅσα εἴρηκα πρὸς ὑμᾶς, φυλάξασθε· καὶ ὄνομα θεῶν ἑτέρων οὐκ ἀναμνησθήσεσθε, οὐδὲ μὴ ἀκουσθῇ ἐκ τοῦ στόματος ὑμῶν.
14Three times every year you shall celebrate feasts to me.
14Τρεῖς καιροὺς τοῦ ἐνιαυτοῦ ἑορτάσατέ μοι.
15Thou shalt keep the feast of unleavened bread. Seven days shalt thou eat unleavened bread, as I commanded thee, in the time of the month of new corn, when thou didst come forth out of Egypt: thou shalt not appear empty before me.
15Τὴν ἑορτὴν τῶν ἀζύμων φυλάξασθε ποιεῖν· ἑπτὰ ἡμέρας ἔδεσθε ἄζυμα, καθάπερ ἐνετειλάμην σοι κατὰ τὸν καιρὸν τοῦ μηνὸς τῶν νέων· ἐν γὰρ αὐτῷ ἐξῆλθες ἐξ Αἰγύπτου· οὐκ ὀφθήσῃ ἐνώπίον μου κενός.
16And the feast of the harvest of the firstfruits of thy work, whatsoever thou hast sown in the field. The feast also in the end of the year, when thou hast gathered in all thy corn out of the field.
16Καὶ ἑορτὴν θερισμοῦ πρωτογεννημάτων ποιήσεις τῶν ἔργων σου, ὧν ἐὰν σπείρῃς ἐν τῷ ἀγρῷ σου, καὶ ἑορτὴν συντελείας ἐπʼ ἐξόδου τοῦ ἐνιαυτοῦ ἐν τῇ συναγωγῇ τῶν ἔργων σου τῶν ἐκ τοῦ ἀγροῦ σου.
17Thrice a year shall all thy males appear before the Lord thy God.
17Τρεῖς καιροὺς τοῦ ἐνιαυτοῦ ὀφθήσεται πᾶν ἀρσενικόν σου ἐνώπιον Κυρίου τοῦ Θεοῦ σου.
18Thou shalt not sacrifice the blood of my victim upon leaven, neither shall the fat of my solemnity remain until the morning.
18Ὅταν γὰρ ἐκβάλω τὰ ἔθνη ἀπὸ προσώπου σου, καὶ ἐμπλατύνω τὰ ὅριά σου, οὐ θύσεις ἐπὶ ζύμῃ αἷμα θυμιάματός μου, οὐδὲ μὴ κοιμηθῇ στέαρ τῆς ἑορτῆς μου ἕως πρωΐ.
19Thou shalt carry the firstfruits of the corn of thy ground to the house of the Lord thy God. Thou shalt not boil a kid in the milk of his dam.
19Τὰς ἀπαρχὰς τῶν πρωτογενημάτων τῆς γνς σου εἰσοίσεις εἰς τὸν οἶκον Κυρίου τοῦ Θεοῦ σου· οὐχ ἑψήσεις ἄρνα ἐν γάλακτι μητρὸς αὐτοῦ.
20Behold I will send my angel, who shall go before thee, and keep thee in thy journey, and bring thee into the place that I have prepared.
20Καὶ ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ ἀποστέλλω τὸν ἄγγελόν μου πρὸ προσώπου σου, ἵνα φυλάξῃ σε ἐν τῇ ὁδῷ, ὅπως εἰσαγάγῃ σε εἰς τὴν γῆν, ἣν ἡτοίμασά σοι.
21Take notice of him, and hear his voice, and do not think him one to be contemned: for he will not forgive when thou hast sinned, and my name is in him.
21Πρόσεχε σεαυτῷ, καὶ εἰσάκουε αὐτοῦ, καὶ μὴ ἀπείθει αὐτῷ, οὐ γὰρ μὴ ὑποστείληταί σε· τὸ γὰρ ὄνομά μου ἐστὶν ἐπʼ αὐτῷ.
22But if thou wilt hear his voice, and do all that I speak, I will be an enemy to thy enemies, and will afflict them that afflict thee.
22Ἐὰν ἀκοῇ ἀκούσητε τῆς ἐμῆς φωνῆς, καὶ ποιήσῃς πάντα ὅσα ἂν ἐντείλωμαί σοι, καὶ φυλάξητε τὴν διαθήκην μου, ἔσεσθέ μοι λαὸς περιούσιος ἀπὸ πάντων τῶν ἐθνῶν· ἐμὴ γάρ ἐστι πᾶσα ἡ γῆ· ὑμεῖς δὲ ἔσεσθέ μοι βασίλειον ἱεράτευμα, καὶ ἔθνος ἅγιον· ταῦτα τὰ ῥήματα ἐρεῖς τοῖς υἱοῖς Ἰσραὴλ, ἐὰν ἀκοῇ ἀκούσητε τῆς φωνῆς μου, καὶ ποιήσητε πάντα ὅσα ἂν εἴπω σοι, ἐχθρεύσω τοῖς ἐχθροῖς σου, καὶ ἀντικείσομαι τοῖς ἀντικειμένοις σοι.
23And my angel shall go before thee, and shall bring thee in unto the Amorrhite, and the Hethite, and the Pherezite, and the Chanaanite, and the Hevite, and the Jebusite, whom I will destroy.
23Πορεύσεται γὰρ ὁ ἄγγελός μου ἡγούμενός σου, καὶ εἰσάξει σε πρὸς τὸν Ἀμοῤῥαῖον, καὶ Χετταῖον, καὶ Φερεζαῖον, καὶ Χαναναῖον, καὶ Γεργεσαῖον, καὶ Εὑαῖον, καὶ Ἰεβουσαῖον, καὶ ἐκτρίψω αὐτούς.
24Thou shalt not adore their gods, nor serve them. Thou shalt not do their works, but shalt destroy them, and break their statues.
24Οὐ προσκυνήσεις τοῖς θεοῖς αὐτῶν, οὐδὲ μὴ λατρεύσῃς αὐτοῖς· οὐ ποιήσεις κατὰ τὰ ἔργα αὐτῶν· ἀλλὰ καθαιρέσει καθελεῖς, καὶ συντρίβων συντρίψεις τὰς στήλας αὐτῶν.
25And you shall serve the Lord your God, that I may bless your bread and your waters, and may take away sickness from the midst of thee.
25Καὶ λατρεύσεις Κυρίῳ τῷ Θεῷ σου· καὶ εὐλογήσω τὸν ἄρτον σου καὶ τὸν οἶνόν σου καὶ τὸ ὕδωρ σου, καὶ ἀποστρέψω μαλακίαν ἀφʼ ὑμῶν.
26There shall not be one fruitless nor barren in thy land: I will fill the number of thy days.
26Οὐκ ἔσται ἄγονος, οὐδὲ στεῖρα ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς σου· τὸν ἀριθμὸν τῶν ἡμερῶν σου ἀναπληρῶν ἀναπληρώσω.
27I will send my fear before thee, and will destroy all the people to whom thou shalt come: and will turn the backs of all thy enemies before thee.
27Καὶ τὸν φόβον ἀποστελῶ ἡγούμενόν σου, καὶ ἐκστήσω πάντα τὰ ἔθνη, εἰς οὓς σὺ εἰσπορεύῃ εἰς αὐτούς· καὶ δώσω πάντας τοὺς ὑπεναντίους σου φυγάδας.
28Sending out hornets before, that shall drive away the Hevite, and the Chanaanite, and the Hethite, before thou come in.
28Καὶ ἀποστελῶ τὰς σφηκίας προτέρας σου· καὶ ἐκβαλεῖς τοὺς Ἀμοῤῥαίους, καὶ τοὺς Εὑαίους, καὶ τοὺς Χαναναίους, καὶ τοὺς Χετταίους ἀπὸ σοῦ.
29I will not cast them out from thy face in one year: lest the land be brought into a wilderness, and the beasts multiply against thee.
29Οὐκ ἐκβαλῶ αὐτοὺς ἐν ἐνιαυτῷ ἑνὶ, ἵνα μὴ γένηται ἡ γῆ ἔρημος, καὶ πολλὰ γένηται ἐπὶ σὲ τὰ θηρία τῆς γῆς.
30By little and little I will drive them out from before thee, till thou be increased, and dost possess the land.
30Κατὰ μικρὸν ἐκβαλῶ αὐτοὺς ἀπὸ σοῦ, ἕως ἂν αὐξηθῇς καὶ κληρονομήσῃς τὴν γῆν.
31And I will set thy bounds from the Red Sea to the sea of the Palestines, and from the desert to the river: I will deliver the inhabitants of the land into your hands, and will drive them out from before you.
31Καὶ θήσω τὰ ὅριά σου ἀπὸ τῆς ἐρυθρᾶς θαλάσσης, ἕως τῆς θαλάσσης τῆς Φυλιστιείμ· καὶ ἀπὸ τῆς ἐρήμου, ἕως τοῦ μεγάλου ποταμοῦ Εὐφράτου· καὶ παραδώσω εἰς τὰς χεῖρας ὑμῶν τοὺς ἐγκαθημένους ἐν τῇ γῇ, καὶ ἐκβαλῶ αὐτοὺς ἀπὸ σοῦ.
32Thou shalt not enter into league with them, nor with their gods.
32Οὐ συγκαταθήσῃ αὐτοῖς καὶ τοῖς θεοῖς αὐτῶν διαθήκην.
33Let them not dwell in thy land, lest perhaps thy make thee sin against me, if thou serve their god: which undoubtedly will be a scandal to thee.
33Καὶ οὐκ ἐνκαθήσονται ἐν τῇ γῇ σου, ἵνα μὴ ἁμαρτεῖν σε ποιήσωσι πρὸς μέ· ἐὰν γὰρ δουλεύσῃς τοῖς θεοῖς αὐτῶν, οὗτοι ἔσονταί σοι πρόσκομμα.
