Deuteronomy 31 (WEBP)

[1] Moses went and spoke these words to all Israel.
[2] He said to them, “I am one hundred twenty years old today. I can no more go out and come in. Yahweh has said to me, ‘You shall not go over this Jordan.’
[3] Yahweh your God himself will go over before you. He will destroy these nations from before you, and you shall dispossess them. Joshua will go over before you, as Yahweh has spoken.
[4] Yahweh will do to them as he did to Sihon and to Og, the kings of the Amorites, and to their land, when he destroyed them.
[5] Yahweh will deliver them up before you, and you shall do to them according to all the commandment which I have commanded you.
[6] Be strong and courageous. Don’t be afraid or scared of them, for Yahweh your God himself is who goes with you. He will not fail you nor forsake you.”
[7] Moses called to Joshua, and said to him in the sight of all Israel, “Be strong and courageous, for you shall go with this people into the land which Yahweh has sworn to their fathers to give them; and you shall cause them to inherit it.
[8] Yahweh himself is who goes before you. He will be with you. He will not fail you nor forsake you. Don’t be afraid. Don’t be discouraged.”
[9] Moses wrote this law and delivered it to the priests the sons of Levi, who bore the ark of Yahweh’s covenant, and to all the elders of Israel.
[10] Moses commanded them, saying, “At the end of every seven years, in the set time of the year of release, in the feast of booths,
[11] when all Israel has come to appear before Yahweh your God in the place which he will choose, you shall read this law before all Israel in their hearing.
[12] Assemble the people, the men and the women and the little ones, and the foreigners who are within your gates, that they may hear, learn, fear Yahweh your God, and observe to do all the words of this law,
[13] and that their children, who have not known, may hear and learn to fear Yahweh your God, as long as you live in the land where you go over the Jordan to possess it.”
[14] Yahweh said to Moses, “Behold, your days approach that you must die. Call Joshua, and present yourselves in the Tent of Meeting, that I may commission him.” Moses and Joshua went, and presented themselves in the Tent of Meeting.
[15] Yahweh appeared in the Tent in a pillar of cloud, and the pillar of cloud stood over the Tent’s door.
[16] Yahweh said to Moses, “Behold, you shall sleep with your fathers. This people will rise up and play the prostitute after the strange gods of the land where they go to be among them, and will forsake me and break my covenant which I have made with them.
[17] Then my anger shall be kindled against them in that day, and I will forsake them, and I will hide my face from them, and they shall be devoured, and many evils and troubles shall come on them; so that they will say in that day, ‘Haven’t these evils come on us because our God is not among us?’
[18] I will surely hide my face in that day for all the evil which they have done, in that they have turned to other gods.
[19] “Now therefore write this song for yourselves, and teach it to the children of Israel. Put it in their mouths, that this song may be a witness for me against the children of Israel.
[20] For when I have brought them into the land which I swore to their fathers, flowing with milk and honey, and they have eaten and filled themselves, and grown fat, then they will turn to other gods, and serve them, and despise me, and break my covenant.
[21] It will happen, when many evils and troubles have come on them, that this song will testify before them as a witness; for it will not be forgotten out of the mouths of their descendants; for I know their ways and what they are doing today, before I have brought them into the land which I promised them.”
[22] So Moses wrote this song the same day, and taught it to the children of Israel.
[23] He commissioned Joshua the son of Nun, and said, “Be strong and courageous; for you shall bring the children of Israel into the land which I swore to them. I will be with you.”
[24] When Moses had finished writing the words of this law in a book, until they were finished,
[25] Moses commanded the Levites, who bore the ark of Yahweh’s covenant, saying,
[26] “Take this book of the law, and put it by the side of the ark of Yahweh your God’s covenant, that it may be there for a witness against you.
[27] For I know your rebellion and your stiff neck. Behold, while I am yet alive with you today, you have been rebellious against Yahweh. How much more after my death?
[28] Assemble to me all the elders of your tribes and your officers, that I may speak these words in their ears, and call heaven and earth to witness against them.
[29] For I know that after my death you will utterly corrupt yourselves, and turn away from the way which I have commanded you; and evil will happen to you in the latter days, because you will do that which is evil in Yahweh’s sight, to provoke him to anger through the work of your hands.”
[30] Moses spoke in the ears of all the assembly of Israel the words of this song, until they were finished.

[1] και συνετελεσεν μωυσης λαλων παντας τους λογους τουτους προς παντας υιους ισραηλ
[2] και ειπεν προς αυτους εκατον και εικοσι ετων εγω ειμι σημερον ου δυνησομαι ετι εισπορευεσθαι και εκπορευεσθαι κυριος δε ειπεν προς με ου διαβηση τον ιορδανην τουτον
[3] κυριος ο θεος σου ο προπορευομενος προ προσωπου σου αυτος εξολεθρευσει τα εθνη ταυτα απο προσωπου σου και κατακληρονομησεις αυτους και ιησους ο προπορευομενος προ προσωπου σου καθα ελαλησεν κυριος
[4] και ποιησει κυριος αυτοις καθα εποιησεν σηων και ωγ τοις δυσι βασιλευσιν των αμορραιων οι ησαν περαν του ιορδανου και τη γη αυτων καθοτι εξωλεθρευσεν αυτους
[5] και παρεδωκεν αυτους κυριος υμιν και ποιησετε αυτοις καθοτι ενετειλαμην υμιν
[6] ανδριζου και ισχυε μη φοβου μηδε δειλια μηδε πτοηθης απο προσωπου αυτων οτι κυριος ο θεος σου ο προπορευομενος μεθ υμων εν υμιν ου μη σε ανη ουτε μη σε εγκαταλιπη
[7] και εκαλεσεν μωυσης ιησουν και ειπεν αυτω εναντι παντος ισραηλ ανδριζου και ισχυε συ γαρ εισελευση προ προσωπου του λαου τουτου εις την γην ην ωμοσεν κυριος τοις πατρασιν ημων δουναι αυτοις και συ κατακληρονομησεις αυτην αυτοις
[8] και κυριος ο συμπορευομενος μετα σου ουκ ανησει σε ουδε μη εγκαταλιπη σε μη φοβου μηδε δειλια
[9] και εγραψεν μωυσης τα ρηματα του νομου τουτου εις βιβλιον και εδωκεν τοις ιερευσιν τοις υιοις λευι τοις αιρουσιν την κιβωτον της διαθηκης κυριου και τοις πρεσβυτεροις των υιων ισραηλ
[10] και ενετειλατο αυτοις μωυσης εν τη ημερα εκεινη λεγων μετα επτα ετη εν καιρω ενιαυτου αφεσεως εν εορτη σκηνοπηγιας
[11] εν τω συμπορευεσθαι παντα ισραηλ οφθηναι ενωπιον κυριου του θεου σου εν τω τοπω ω αν εκλεξηται κυριος αναγνωσεσθε τον νομον τουτον εναντιον παντος ισραηλ εις τα ωτα αυτων
[12] εκκλησιασας τον λαον τους ανδρας και τας γυναικας και τα εκγονα και τον προσηλυτον τον εν ταις πολεσιν υμων ινα ακουσωσιν και ινα μαθωσιν φοβεισθαι κυριον τον θεον υμων και ακουσονται ποιειν παντας τους λογους του νομου τουτου
[13] και οι υιοι αυτων οι ουκ οιδασιν ακουσονται και μαθησονται φοβεισθαι κυριον τον θεον υμων πασας τας ημερας οσας αυτοι ζωσιν επι της γης εις ην υμεις διαβαινετε τον ιορδανην εκει κληρονομησαι αυτην
[14] και ειπεν κυριος προς μωυσην ιδου ηγγικασιν αι ημεραι του θανατου σου καλεσον ιησουν και στητε παρα τας θυρας της σκηνης του μαρτυριου και εντελουμαι αυτω και επορευθη μωυσης και ιησους εις την σκηνην του μαρτυριου και εστησαν παρα τας θυρας της σκηνης του μαρτυριου
[15] και κατεβη κυριος εν νεφελη και εστη παρα τας θυρας της σκηνης του μαρτυριου και εστη ο στυλος της νεφελης παρα τας θυρας της σκηνης
[16] και ειπεν κυριος προς μωυσην ιδου συ κοιμα μετα των πατερων σου και αναστας ο λαος ουτος εκπορνευσει οπισω θεων αλλοτριων της γης εις ην ουτος εισπορευεται εκει εις αυτην και εγκαταλειψουσιν με και διασκεδασουσιν την διαθηκην μου ην διεθεμην αυτοις
[17] και οργισθησομαι θυμω εις αυτους εν τη ημερα εκεινη και καταλειψω αυτους και αποστρεψω το προσωπον μου απ αυτων και εσται καταβρωμα και ευρησουσιν αυτον κακα πολλα και θλιψεις και ερει εν τη ημερα εκεινη διοτι ουκ εστιν κυριος ο θεος μου εν εμοι ευροσαν με τα κακα ταυτα
[18] εγω δε αποστροφη αποστρεψω το προσωπον μου απ αυτων εν τη ημερα εκεινη δια πασας τας κακιας ας εποιησαν οτι επεστρεψαν επι θεους αλλοτριους
[19] και νυν γραψατε τα ρηματα της ωδης ταυτης και διδαξετε αυτην τους υιους ισραηλ και εμβαλειτε αυτην εις το στομα αυτων ινα γενηται μοι η ωδη αυτη εις μαρτυριον εν υιοις ισραηλ
[20] εισαξω γαρ αυτους εις την γην την αγαθην ην ωμοσα τοις πατρασιν αυτων δουναι αυτοις γην ρεουσαν γαλα και μελι και φαγονται και εμπλησθεντες κορησουσιν και επιστραφησονται επι θεους αλλοτριους και λατρευσουσιν αυτοις και παροξυνουσιν με και διασκεδασουσιν την διαθηκην μου
[21] και αντικαταστησεται η ωδη αυτη κατα προσωπον μαρτυρουσα ου γαρ μη επιλησθη απο στοματος αυτων και απο στοματος του σπερματος αυτων εγω γαρ οιδα την πονηριαν αυτων οσα ποιουσιν ωδε σημερον προ του εισαγαγειν με αυτους εις την γην την αγαθην ην ωμοσα τοις πατρασιν αυτων
[22] και εγραψεν μωυσης την ωδην ταυτην εν εκεινη τη ημερα και εδιδαξεν αυτην τους υιους ισραηλ
[23] και ενετειλατο μωυσης ιησοι και ειπεν αυτω ανδριζου και ισχυε συ γαρ εισαξεις τους υιους ισραηλ εις την γην ην ωμοσεν κυριος αυτοις και αυτος εσται μετα σου
[24] ηνικα δε συνετελεσεν μωυσης γραφων παντας τους λογους του νομου τουτου εις βιβλιον εως εις τελος
[25] και ενετειλατο τοις λευιταις τοις αιρουσιν την κιβωτον της διαθηκης κυριου λεγων
[26] λαβοντες το βιβλιον του νομου τουτου θησετε αυτο εκ πλαγιων της κιβωτου της διαθηκης κυριου του θεου υμων και εσται εκει εν σοι εις μαρτυριον
[27] οτι εγω επισταμαι τον ερεθισμον σου και τον τραχηλον σου τον σκληρον ετι γαρ εμου ζωντος μεθ υμων σημερον παραπικραινοντες ητε τα προς τον θεον πως ουχι και εσχατον του θανατου μου
[28] εκκλησιασατε προς με τους φυλαρχους υμων και τους πρεσβυτερους υμων και τους κριτας υμων και τους γραμματοεισαγωγεις υμων ινα λαλησω εις τα ωτα αυτων παντας τους λογους τουτους και διαμαρτυρωμαι αυτοις τον τε ουρανον και την γην
[29] οιδα γαρ οτι εσχατον της τελευτης μου ανομια ανομησετε και εκκλινειτε εκ της οδου ης ενετειλαμην υμιν και συναντησεται υμιν τα κακα εσχατον των ημερων οτι ποιησετε το πονηρον εναντιον κυριου παροργισαι αυτον εν τοις εργοις των χειρων υμων
[30] και ελαλησεν μωυσης εις τα ωτα πασης εκκλησιας ισραηλ τα ρηματα της ωδης ταυτης εως εις τελος
