Deuteronomy 8 (WEBP)

[1] You shall observe to do all the commandments which I command you today, that you may live, and multiply, and go in and possess the land which Yahweh swore to your fathers.
[2] You shall remember all the way which Yahweh your God has led you these forty years in the wilderness, that he might humble you, to test you, to know what was in your heart, whether you would keep his commandments or not.
[3] He humbled you, allowed you to be hungry, and fed you with manna, which you didn’t know, neither did your fathers know, that he might teach you that man does not live by bread only, but man lives by every word that proceeds out of Yahweh’s mouth.
[4] Your clothing didn’t grow old on you, neither did your foot swell, these forty years.
[5] You shall consider in your heart that as a man disciplines his son, so Yahweh your God disciplines you.
[6] You shall keep the commandments of Yahweh your God, to walk in his ways, and to fear him.
[7] For Yahweh your God brings you into a good land, a land of brooks of water, of springs, and underground water flowing into valleys and hills;
[8] a land of wheat, barley, vines, fig trees, and pomegranates; a land of olive trees and honey;
[9] a land in which you shall eat bread without scarcity, you shall not lack anything in it; a land whose stones are iron, and out of whose hills you may dig copper.
[10] You shall eat and be full, and you shall bless Yahweh your God for the good land which he has given you.
[11] Beware lest you forget Yahweh your God, in not keeping his commandments, his ordinances, and his statutes, which I command you today;
[12] lest, when you have eaten and are full, and have built fine houses and lived in them;
[13] and when your herds and your flocks multiply, and your silver and your gold is multiplied, and all that you have is multiplied;
[14] then your heart might be lifted up, and you forget Yahweh your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage;
[15] who led you through the great and terrible wilderness, with venomous snakes and scorpions, and thirsty ground where there was no water; who poured water for you out of the rock of flint;
[16] who fed you in the wilderness with manna, which your fathers didn’t know, that he might humble you, and that he might prove you, to do you good at your latter end;
[17] and lest you say in your heart, “My power and the might of my hand has gotten me this wealth.”
[18] But you shall remember Yahweh your God, for it is he who gives you power to get wealth, that he may establish his covenant which he swore to your fathers, as it is today.
[19] It shall be, if you shall forget Yahweh your God, and walk after other gods, and serve them and worship them, I testify against you today that you shall surely perish.
[20] As the nations that Yahweh makes to perish before you, so you shall perish, because you wouldn’t listen to Yahweh your God’s voice.

[1] πασας τας εντολας ας εγω εντελλομαι υμιν σημερον φυλαξεσθε ποιειν ινα ζητε και πολυπλασιασθητε και εισελθητε και κληρονομησητε την γην ην κυριος ο θεος υμων ωμοσεν τοις πατρασιν υμων
[2] και μνησθηση πασαν την οδον ην ηγαγεν σε κυριος ο θεος σου εν τη ερημω οπως αν κακωση σε και εκπειραση σε και διαγνωσθη τα εν τη καρδια σου ει φυλαξη τας εντολας αυτου η ου
[3] και εκακωσεν σε και ελιμαγχονησεν σε και εψωμισεν σε το μαννα ο ουκ ειδησαν οι πατερες σου ινα αναγγειλη σοι οτι ουκ επ αρτω μονω ζησεται ο ανθρωπος αλλ επι παντι ρηματι τω εκπορευομενω δια στοματος θεου ζησεται ο ανθρωπος
[4] τα ιματια σου ου κατετριβη απο σου οι ποδες σου ουκ ετυλωθησαν ιδου τεσσαρακοντα ετη
[5] και γνωση τη καρδια σου οτι ως ει τις παιδευσαι ανθρωπος τον υιον αυτου ουτως κυριος ο θεος σου παιδευσει σε
[6] και φυλαξη τας εντολας κυριου του θεου σου πορευεσθαι εν ταις οδοις αυτου και φοβεισθαι αυτον
[7] ο γαρ κυριος ο θεος σου εισαγει σε εις γην αγαθην και πολλην ου χειμαρροι υδατων και πηγαι αβυσσων εκπορευομεναι δια των πεδιων και δια των ορεων
[8] γη πυρου και κριθης αμπελοι συκαι ροαι γη ελαιας ελαιου και μελιτος
[9] γη εφ ης ου μετα πτωχειας φαγη τον αρτον σου και ουκ ενδεηθηση ουδεν επ αυτης γη ης οι λιθοι σιδηρος και εκ των ορεων αυτης μεταλλευσεις χαλκον
[10] και φαγη και εμπλησθηση και ευλογησεις κυριον τον θεον σου επι της γης της αγαθης ης εδωκεν σοι
[11] προσεχε σεαυτω μη επιλαθη κυριου του θεου σου του μη φυλαξαι τας εντολας αυτου και τα κριματα και τα δικαιωματα αυτου οσα εγω εντελλομαι σοι σημερον
[12] μη φαγων και εμπλησθεις και οικιας καλας οικοδομησας και κατοικησας εν αυταις
[13] και των βοων σου και των προβατων σου πληθυνθεντων σοι αργυριου και χρυσιου πληθυνθεντος σοι και παντων οσων σοι εσται πληθυνθεντων σοι
[14] υψωθης τη καρδια και επιλαθη κυριου του θεου σου του εξαγαγοντος σε εκ γης αιγυπτου εξ οικου δουλειας
[15] του αγαγοντος σε δια της ερημου της μεγαλης και της φοβερας εκεινης ου οφις δακνων και σκορπιος και διψα ου ουκ ην υδωρ του εξαγαγοντος σοι εκ πετρας ακροτομου πηγην υδατος
[16] του ψωμισαντος σε το μαννα εν τη ερημω ο ουκ ειδησαν οι πατερες σου ινα κακωση σε και εκπειραση σε και ευ σε ποιηση επ εσχατων των ημερων σου
[17] μη ειπης εν τη καρδια σου η ισχυς μου και το κρατος της χειρος μου εποιησεν μοι την δυναμιν την μεγαλην ταυτην
[18] και μνησθηση κυριου του θεου σου οτι αυτος σοι διδωσιν ισχυν του ποιησαι δυναμιν και ινα στηση την διαθηκην αυτου ην ωμοσεν κυριος τοις πατρασιν σου ως σημερον
[19] και εσται εαν ληθη επιλαθη κυριου του θεου σου και πορευθης οπισω θεων ετερων και λατρευσης αυτοις και προσκυνησης αυτοις διαμαρτυρομαι υμιν σημερον τον τε ουρανον και την γην οτι απωλεια απολεισθε
[20] καθα και τα λοιπα εθνη οσα κυριος απολλυει προ προσωπου υμων ουτως απολεισθε ανθ ων ουκ ηκουσατε της φωνης κυριου του θεου υμων
