Deuteronomy 7 (WEBP)

[1] When Yahweh your God brings you into the land where you go to possess it, and casts out many nations before you—the Hittite, the Girgashite, the Amorite, the Canaanite, the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite—seven nations greater and mightier than you;
[2] and when Yahweh your God delivers them up before you, and you strike them, then you shall utterly destroy them. You shall make no covenant with them, nor show mercy to them.
[3] You shall not make marriages with them. You shall not give your daughter to his son, nor shall you take his daughter for your son.
[4] For that would turn away your sons from following me, that they may serve other gods. So Yahweh’s anger would be kindled against you, and he would destroy you quickly.
[5] But you shall deal with them like this: you shall break down their altars, dash their pillars in pieces, cut down their Asherah poles, and burn their engraved images with fire.
[6] For you are a holy people to Yahweh your God. Yahweh your God has chosen you to be a people for his own possession, above all peoples who are on the face of the earth.
[7] Yahweh didn’t set his love on you nor choose you, because you were more in number than any people; for you were the fewest of all peoples;
[8] but because Yahweh loves you, and because he desires to keep the oath which he swore to your fathers, Yahweh has brought you out with a mighty hand and redeemed you out of the house of bondage, from the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt.
[9] Know therefore that Yahweh your God himself is God, the faithful God, who keeps covenant and loving kindness to a thousand generations with those who love him and keep his commandments,
[10] and repays those who hate him to their face, to destroy them. He will not be slack to him who hates him. He will repay him to his face.
[11] You shall therefore keep the commandments, the statutes, and the ordinances which I command you today, to do them.
[12] It shall happen, because you listen to these ordinances and keep and do them, that Yahweh your God will keep with you the covenant and the loving kindness which he swore to your fathers.
[13] He will love you, bless you, and multiply you. He will also bless the fruit of your body and the fruit of your ground, your grain and your new wine and your oil, the increase of your livestock and the young of your flock, in the land which he swore to your fathers to give you.
[14] You will be blessed above all peoples. There won’t be male or female barren among you, or among your livestock.
[15] Yahweh will take away from you all sickness; and he will put none of the evil diseases of Egypt, which you know, on you, but will lay them on all those who hate you.
[16] You shall consume all the peoples whom Yahweh your God shall deliver to you. Your eye shall not pity them. You shall not serve their gods; for that would be a snare to you.
[17] If you shall say in your heart, “These nations are more than I; how can I dispossess them?”
[18] you shall not be afraid of them. You shall remember well what Yahweh your God did to Pharaoh and to all Egypt:
[19] the great trials which your eyes saw, the signs, the wonders, the mighty hand, and the outstretched arm, by which Yahweh your God brought you out. So shall Yahweh your God do to all the peoples of whom you are afraid.
[20] Moreover Yahweh your God will send the hornet among them, until those who are left, and hide themselves, perish from before you.
[21] You shall not be scared of them; for Yahweh your God is among you, a great and awesome God.
[22] Yahweh your God will cast out those nations before you little by little. You may not consume them at once, lest the animals of the field increase on you.
[23] But Yahweh your God will deliver them up before you, and will confuse them with a great confusion, until they are destroyed.
[24] He will deliver their kings into your hand, and you shall make their name perish from under the sky. No one will be able to stand before you until you have destroyed them.
[25] You shall burn the engraved images of their gods with fire. You shall not covet the silver or the gold that is on them, nor take it for yourself, lest you be snared in it; for it is an abomination to Yahweh your God.
[26] You shall not bring an abomination into your house and become a devoted thing like it. You shall utterly detest it. You shall utterly abhor it; for it is a devoted thing.

[7] The Lord did not set his love () upon you, nor choose () you, because ye were more in number than any people; for ye were the fewest of all people:
[8] but because the Lord loved you, and because he would keep () the oath which he had sworn () unto your fathers, hath the Lord brought you out () with a mighty hand, and redeemed () you out of the house of bondmen, from the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt.
[9] Know () therefore that the Lord thy God, he is God, the faithful () God, which keepeth () covenant and mercy with them that love () him and keep () his commandments to a thousand generations;
[10] and repayeth () them that hate () him to their face, to destroy () them: he will not be slack () to him that hateth () him, he will repay () him to his face.
[11] Thou shalt therefore keep () the commandments, and the statutes, and the judgments, which I command () thee this day, to do () them.
[12] Wherefore it shall come to pass, if ye hearken () to these judgments, and keep, () and do () them, that the Lord thy God shall keep () unto thee the covenant and the mercy which he sware () unto thy fathers:
[13] and he will love () thee, and bless () thee, and multiply () thee: he will also bless () the fruit of thy womb, and the fruit of thy land, thy corn, and thy wine, and thine oil, the increase of thy kine, and the flocks of thy sheep, in the land which he sware () unto thy fathers to give () thee.
[14] Thou shalt be blessed () above all people: there shall not be male or female barren among you, or among your cattle.
[15] And the Lord will take away () from thee all sickness, and will put () none of the evil diseases of Egypt, which thou knowest, () upon thee; but will lay () them upon all them that hate () thee.

[17] If thou shalt say () in thine heart, These nations are more than I; how can () I dispossess () them?
[18] Thou shalt not be afraid () of them: but shalt well () remember () what the Lord thy God did () unto Pharaoh, and unto all Egypt;
[19] the great temptations which thine eyes saw, () and the signs, and the wonders, and the mighty hand, and the stretched out () arm, whereby the Lord thy God brought thee out: () so shall the Lord thy God do () unto all the people of whom thou art afraid.
[20] Moreover the Lord thy God will send () the hornet among them, until they that are left, () and hide () themselves from thee, be destroyed. ()
[21] Thou shalt not be affrighted () at them: for the Lord thy God is among you, a mighty God and terrible. ()
[22] And the Lord thy God will put out () those nations before thee by little and little: thou mayest () not consume () them at once, lest the beasts of the field increase () upon thee.
[23] But the Lord thy God shall deliver () them unto thee, and shall destroy () them with a mighty destruction, until they be destroyed. ()
[24] And he shall deliver () their kings into thine hand, and thou shalt destroy () their name from under heaven: there shall no man be able to stand () before thee, until thou have destroyed () them.
[25] The graven images of their gods shall ye burn () with fire: thou shalt not desire () the silver or gold that is on them, nor take () it unto thee, lest thou be snared () therein: for it is an abomination to the Lord thy God.
[26] Neither shalt thou bring () an abomination into thine house, lest thou be a cursed thing like it: but thou shalt utterly () detest () it, and thou shalt utterly () abhor () it; for it is a cursed thing.

Deuteronomy 7 (BYZ)

[1] εαν δε εισαγαγη σε κυριος ο θεος σου εις την γην εις ην εισπορευη εκει κληρονομησαι και εξαρει εθνη μεγαλα απο προσωπου σου τον χετταιον και γεργεσαιον και αμορραιον και χαναναιον και φερεζαιον και ευαιον και ιεβουσαιον επτα εθνη πολλα και ισχυροτερα υμων
[2] και παραδωσει αυτους κυριος ο θεος σου εις τας χειρας σου και παταξεις αυτους αφανισμω αφανιεις αυτους ου διαθηση προς αυτους διαθηκην ουδε μη ελεησητε αυτους
[3] ουδε μη γαμβρευσητε προς αυτους την θυγατερα σου ου δωσεις τω υιω αυτου και την θυγατερα αυτου ου λημψη τω υιω σου
[4] αποστησει γαρ τον υιον σου απ εμου και λατρευσει θεοις ετεροις και οργισθησεται θυμω κυριος εις υμας και εξολεθρευσει σε το ταχος
[5] αλλ ουτως ποιησετε αυτοις τους βωμους αυτων καθελειτε και τας στηλας αυτων συντριψετε και τα αλση αυτων εκκοψετε και τα γλυπτα των θεων αυτων κατακαυσετε πυρι
[6] οτι λαος αγιος ει κυριω τω θεω σου και σε προειλατο κυριος ο θεος σου ειναι σε αυτω λαον περιουσιον παρα παντα τα εθνη οσα επι προσωπου της γης
[7] ουχ οτι πολυπληθειτε παρα παντα τα εθνη προειλατο κυριος υμας και εξελεξατο υμας υμεις γαρ εστε ολιγοστοι παρα παντα τα εθνη
[8] αλλα παρα το αγαπαν κυριον υμας και διατηρων τον ορκον ον ωμοσεν τοις πατρασιν υμων εξηγαγεν κυριος υμας εν χειρι κραταια και εν βραχιονι υψηλω και ελυτρωσατο εξ οικου δουλειας εκ χειρος φαραω βασιλεως αιγυπτου
[9] και γνωση οτι κυριος ο θεος σου ουτος θεος θεος πιστος ο φυλασσων διαθηκην και ελεος τοις αγαπωσιν αυτον και τοις φυλασσουσιν τας εντολας αυτου εις χιλιας γενεας
[10] και αποδιδους τοις μισουσιν κατα προσωπον εξολεθρευσαι αυτους και ουχι βραδυνει τοις μισουσιν κατα προσωπον αποδωσει αυτοις
[11] και φυλαξη τας εντολας και τα δικαιωματα και τα κριματα ταυτα οσα εγω εντελλομαι σοι σημερον ποιειν
[12] και εσται ηνικα αν ακουσητε παντα τα δικαιωματα ταυτα και φυλαξητε και ποιησητε αυτα και διαφυλαξει κυριος ο θεος σου σοι την διαθηκην και το ελεος ο ωμοσεν τοις πατρασιν υμων
[13] και αγαπησει σε και ευλογησει σε και πληθυνει σε και ευλογησει τα εκγονα της κοιλιας σου και τον καρπον της γης σου τον σιτον σου και τον οινον σου και το ελαιον σου τα βουκολια των βοων σου και τα ποιμνια των προβατων σου επι της γης ης ωμοσεν κυριος τοις πατρασιν σου δουναι σοι
[14] ευλογητος εση παρα παντα τα εθνη ουκ εσται εν υμιν αγονος ουδε στειρα και εν τοις κτηνεσιν σου
[15] και περιελει κυριος απο σου πασαν μαλακιαν και πασας νοσους αιγυπτου τας πονηρας ας εωρακας και οσα εγνως ουκ επιθησει επι σε και επιθησει αυτα επι παντας τους μισουντας σε
[16] και φαγη παντα τα σκυλα των εθνων α κυριος ο θεος σου διδωσιν σοι ου φεισεται ο οφθαλμος σου επ αυτοις και ου λατρευσεις τοις θεοις αυτων οτι σκωλον τουτο εστιν σοι
[17] εαν δε λεγης εν τη διανοια σου οτι πολυ το εθνος τουτο η εγω πως δυνησομαι εξολεθρευσαι αυτους
[18] ου φοβηθηση αυτους μνεια μνησθηση οσα εποιησεν κυριος ο θεος σου τω φαραω και πασι τοις αιγυπτιοις
[19] τους πειρασμους τους μεγαλους ους ειδοσαν οι οφθαλμοι σου τα σημεια και τα τερατα τα μεγαλα εκεινα την χειρα την κραταιαν και τον βραχιονα τον υψηλον ως εξηγαγεν σε κυριος ο θεος σου ουτως ποιησει κυριος ο θεος ημων πασιν τοις εθνεσιν ους συ φοβη απο προσωπου αυτων
[20] και τας σφηκιας αποστελει κυριος ο θεος σου εις αυτους εως αν εκτριβωσιν οι καταλελειμμενοι και οι κεκρυμμενοι απο σου
[21] ου τρωθηση απο προσωπου αυτων οτι κυριος ο θεος σου εν σοι θεος μεγας και κραταιος
[22] και καταναλωσει κυριος ο θεος σου τα εθνη ταυτα απο προσωπου σου κατα μικρον μικρον ου δυνηση εξαναλωσαι αυτους το ταχος ινα μη γενηται η γη ερημος και πληθυνθη επι σε τα θηρια τα αγρια
[23] και παραδωσει αυτους κυριος ο θεος σου εις τας χειρας σου και απολεσει αυτους απωλεια μεγαλη εως αν εξολεθρευση αυτους
[24] και παραδωσει τους βασιλεις αυτων εις τας χειρας υμων και απολειται το ονομα αυτων εκ του τοπου εκεινου ουκ αντιστησεται ουδεις κατα προσωπον σου εως αν εξολεθρευσης αυτους
[25] τα γλυπτα των θεων αυτων κατακαυσετε πυρι ουκ επιθυμησεις αργυριον ουδε χρυσιον απ αυτων και ου λημψη σεαυτω μη πταισης δι αυτο οτι βδελυγμα κυριω τω θεω σου εστιν
[26] και ουκ εισοισεις βδελυγμα εις τον οικον σου και εση αναθημα ωσπερ τουτο προσοχθισματι προσοχθιεις και βδελυγματι βδελυξη οτι αναθημα εστιν
