Deuteronomy 9 (WEBP)

[1] Hear, Israel! You are to pass over the Jordan today, to go in to dispossess nations greater and mightier than yourself, cities great and fortified up to the sky,
[2] a people great and tall, the sons of the Anakim, whom you know, and of whom you have heard say, “Who can stand before the sons of Anak?”
[3] Know therefore today that Yahweh your God is he who goes over before you as a devouring fire. He will destroy them and he will bring them down before you. So you shall drive them out and make them perish quickly, as Yahweh has spoken to you.
[4] Don’t say in your heart, after Yahweh your God has thrust them out from before you, “For my righteousness Yahweh has brought me in to possess this land;” because Yahweh drives them out before you because of the wickedness of these nations.
[5] Not for your righteousness or for the uprightness of your heart do you go in to possess their land; but for the wickedness of these nations Yahweh your God does drive them out from before you, and that he may establish the word which Yahweh swore to your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob.
[6] Know therefore that Yahweh your God doesn’t give you this good land to possess for your righteousness, for you are a stiff-necked people.
[7] Remember, and don’t forget, how you provoked Yahweh your God to wrath in the wilderness. From the day that you left the land of Egypt until you came to this place, you have been rebellious against Yahweh.
[8] Also in Horeb you provoked Yahweh to wrath, and Yahweh was angry with you to destroy you.
[9] When I had gone up onto the mountain to receive the stone tablets, even the tablets of the covenant which Yahweh made with you, then I stayed on the mountain forty days and forty nights. I neither ate bread nor drank water.
[10] Yahweh delivered to me the two stone tablets written with God’s finger. On them were all the words which Yahweh spoke with you on the mountain out of the middle of the fire in the day of the assembly.
[11] It came to pass at the end of forty days and forty nights that Yahweh gave me the two stone tablets, even the tablets of the covenant.
[12] Yahweh said to me, “Arise, get down quickly from here; for your people whom you have brought out of Egypt have corrupted themselves. They have quickly turned away from the way which I commanded them. They have made a molten image for themselves!”
[13] Furthermore Yahweh spoke to me, saying, “I have seen these people, and behold, they are a stiff-necked people.
[14] Leave me alone, that I may destroy them, and blot out their name from under the sky; and I will make of you a nation mightier and greater than they.”
[15] So I turned and came down from the mountain, and the mountain was burning with fire. The two tablets of the covenant were in my two hands.
[16] I looked, and behold, you had sinned against Yahweh your God. You had made yourselves a molded calf. You had quickly turned away from the way which Yahweh had commanded you.
[17] I took hold of the two tablets, and threw them out of my two hands, and broke them before your eyes.
[18] I fell down before Yahweh, as at the first, forty days and forty nights. I neither ate bread nor drank water, because of all your sin which you sinned, in doing that which was evil in Yahweh’s sight, to provoke him to anger.
[19] For I was afraid of the anger and hot displeasure with which Yahweh was angry against you to destroy you. But Yahweh listened to me that time also.
[20] Yahweh was angry enough with Aaron to destroy him. I prayed for Aaron also at the same time.
[21] I took your sin, the calf which you had made, and burned it with fire, and crushed it, grinding it very small, until it was as fine as dust. I threw its dust into the brook that descended out of the mountain.
[22] At Taberah, at Massah, and at Kibroth Hattaavah you provoked Yahweh to wrath.
[23] When Yahweh sent you from Kadesh Barnea, saying, “Go up and possess the land which I have given you,” you rebelled against the commandment of Yahweh your God, and you didn’t believe him or listen to his voice.
[24] You have been rebellious against Yahweh from the day that I knew you.
[25] So I fell down before Yahweh the forty days and forty nights that I fell down, because Yahweh had said he would destroy you.
[26] I prayed to Yahweh, and said, “Lord Yahweh, don’t destroy your people and your inheritance that you have redeemed through your greatness, that you have brought out of Egypt with a mighty hand.
[27] Remember your servants, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Don’t look at the stubbornness of this people, nor at their wickedness, nor at their sin,
[28] lest the land you brought us out from say, ‘Because Yahweh was not able to bring them into the land which he promised to them, and because he hated them, he has brought them out to kill them in the wilderness.’
[29] Yet they are your people and your inheritance, which you brought out by your great power and by your outstretched arm.”

[2] a people great and tall, () the children of the Anakims, whom thou knowest, () and of whom thou hast heard () say, Who can stand () before the children of Anak!
[3] Understand () therefore this day, that the Lord thy God is he which goeth over () before thee; as a consuming () fire he shall destroy () them, and he shall bring them down () before thy face: so shalt thou drive them out, () and destroy () them quickly, as the Lord hath said () unto thee.
[4] Speak () not thou in thine heart, after that the Lord thy God hath cast them out () from before thee, saying, () For my righteousness the Lord hath brought me in () to possess () this land: but for the wickedness of these nations the Lord doth drive them out () from before thee.
[5] Not for thy righteousness, or for the uprightness of thine heart, dost thou go () to possess () their land: but for the wickedness of these nations the Lord thy God doth drive them out () from before thee, and that he may perform () the word which the Lord sware () unto thy fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
[6] Understand () therefore, that the Lord thy God giveth () thee not this good land to possess () it for thy righteousness; for thou art a stiffnecked people.
[7] Remember, () and forget () not, how thou provokedst the Lord thy God to wrath () in the wilderness: from the day that thou didst depart out () of the land of Egypt, until ye came () unto this place, ye have been rebellious () against the Lord.
[8] Also in Horeb ye provoked the Lord to wrath, () so that the Lord was angry () with you to have destroyed () you.
[9] When I was gone up () into the mount to receive () the tables of stone, even the tables of the covenant which the Lord made () with you, then I abode () in the mount forty days and forty nights, I neither did eat () bread nor drink () water:
[10] and the Lord delivered () unto me two tables of stone written () with the finger of God; and on them was written according to all the words, which the Lord spake () with you in the mount out of the midst of the fire in the day of the assembly.
[11] And it came to pass at the end of forty days and forty nights, that the Lord gave () me the two tables of stone, even the tables of the covenant.
[12] And the Lord said () unto me, Arise, () get thee down () quickly from hence; for thy people which thou hast brought forth () out of Egypt have corrupted () themselves; they are quickly turned aside () out of the way which I commanded () them; they have made () them a molten image.
[13] Furthermore the Lord spake () unto me, saying, () I have seen () this people, and, behold, it is a stiffnecked people:
[14] let me alone, () that I may destroy () them, and blot out () their name from under heaven: and I will make () of thee a nation mightier and greater than they.
[15] So I turned () and came down () from the mount, and the mount burned () with fire: and the two tables of the covenant were in my two hands.
[16] And I looked, () and, behold, ye had sinned () against the Lord your God, and had made () you a molten calf: ye had turned aside () quickly out of the way which the Lord had commanded () you.
[17] And I took () the two tables, and cast () them out of my two hands, and brake () them before your eyes.
[18] And I fell down () before the Lord, as at the first, forty days and forty nights: I did neither eat () bread, nor drink () water, because of all your sins which ye sinned, () in doing () wickedly in the sight of the Lord, to provoke him to anger. ()
[19] For I was afraid () of the anger and hot displeasure, wherewith the Lord was wroth () against you to destroy () you. But the Lord hearkened () unto me at that time also.
[20] And the Lord was very angry () with Aaron to have destroyed () him: and I prayed () for Aaron also the same time.
[21] And I took () your sin, the calf which ye had made, () and burnt () it with fire, and stamped () it, and ground () it very small, () even until it was as small () as dust: and I cast () the dust thereof into the brook that descended out () of the mount.
[22] And at Taberah, and at Massah, and at Kibroth-hattaavah, ye provoked the Lord to wrath. ()
[23] Likewise when the Lord sent () you from Kadesh-barnea, saying, () Go up () and possess () the land which I have given () you; then ye rebelled () against the commandment of the Lord your God, and ye believed () him not, nor hearkened () to his voice.
[24] Ye have been rebellious () against the Lord from the day that I knew () you.
[25] Thus I fell down () before the Lord forty days and forty nights, as I fell down () at the first; because the Lord had said () he would destroy () you.
[26] I prayed () therefore unto the Lord, and said, () O Lord God, destroy () not thy people and thine inheritance, which thou hast redeemed () through thy greatness, which thou hast brought forth () out of Egypt with a mighty hand.
[27] Remember () thy servants, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; look () not unto the stubbornness of this people, nor to their wickedness, nor to their sin:
[28] lest the land whence thou broughtest us out () say, () Because the Lord was not able () to bring () them into the land which he promised () them, and because he hated them, he hath brought them out () to slay () them in the wilderness.
[29] Yet they are thy people and thine inheritance, which thou broughtest out () by thy mighty power and by thy stretched out () arm.

[1] ακουε ισραηλ συ διαβαινεις σημερον τον ιορδανην εισελθειν κληρονομησαι εθνη μεγαλα και ισχυροτερα μαλλον η υμεις πολεις μεγαλας και τειχηρεις εως του ουρανου
[2] λαον μεγαν και πολυν και ευμηκη υιους ενακ ους συ οισθα και συ ακηκοας τις αντιστησεται κατα προσωπον υιων ενακ
[3] και γνωση σημερον οτι κυριος ο θεος σου ουτος προπορευεται προ προσωπου σου πυρ καταναλισκον εστιν ουτος εξολεθρευσει αυτους και ουτος αποστρεψει αυτους απο προσωπου σου και απολεις αυτους καθαπερ ειπεν σοι κυριος
[4] μη ειπης εν τη καρδια σου εν τω εξαναλωσαι κυριον τον θεον σου τα εθνη ταυτα απο προσωπου σου λεγων δια τας δικαιοσυνας μου εισηγαγεν με κυριος κληρονομησαι την γην την αγαθην ταυτην αλλα δια την ασεβειαν των εθνων τουτων κυριος εξολεθρευσει αυτους προ προσωπου σου
[5] ουχι δια την δικαιοσυνην σου ουδε δια την οσιοτητα της καρδιας σου συ εισπορευη κληρονομησαι την γην αυτων αλλα δια την ασεβειαν των εθνων τουτων κυριος εξολεθρευσει αυτους απο προσωπου σου και ινα στηση την διαθηκην αυτου ην ωμοσεν τοις πατρασιν υμων τω αβρααμ και τω ισαακ και τω ιακωβ
[6] και γνωση σημερον οτι ουχι δια τας δικαιοσυνας σου κυριος ο θεος σου διδωσιν σοι την γην την αγαθην ταυτην κληρονομησαι οτι λαος σκληροτραχηλος ει
[7] μνησθητι μη επιλαθη οσα παρωξυνας κυριον τον θεον σου εν τη ερημω αφ ης ημερας εξηλθετε εξ αιγυπτου εως ηλθετε εις τον τοπον τουτον απειθουντες διετελειτε τα προς κυριον
[8] και εν χωρηβ παρωξυνατε κυριον και εθυμωθη κυριος εφ υμιν εξολεθρευσαι υμας
[9] αναβαινοντος μου εις το ορος λαβειν τας πλακας τας λιθινας πλακας διαθηκης ας διεθετο κυριος προς υμας και κατεγινομην εν τω ορει τεσσαρακοντα ημερας και τεσσαρακοντα νυκτας αρτον ουκ εφαγον και υδωρ ουκ επιον
[10] και εδωκεν κυριος εμοι τας δυο πλακας τας λιθινας γεγραμμενας εν τω δακτυλω του θεου και επ αυταις εγεγραπτο παντες οι λογοι ους ελαλησεν κυριος προς υμας εν τω ορει ημερα εκκλησιας
[11] και εγενετο δια τεσσαρακοντα ημερων και τεσσαρακοντα νυκτων εδωκεν κυριος εμοι τας δυο πλακας τας λιθινας πλακας διαθηκης
[12] και ειπεν κυριος προς με αναστηθι καταβηθι το ταχος εντευθεν οτι ηνομησεν ο λαος σου ους εξηγαγες εκ γης αιγυπτου παρεβησαν ταχυ εκ της οδου ης ενετειλω αυτοις εποιησαν εαυτοις χωνευμα
[13] και ειπεν κυριος προς με λελαληκα προς σε απαξ και δις λεγων εωρακα τον λαον τουτον και ιδου λαος σκληροτραχηλος εστιν
[14] εασον με εξολεθρευσαι αυτους και εξαλειψω το ονομα αυτων υποκατωθεν του ουρανου και ποιησω σε εις εθνος μεγα και ισχυρον και πολυ μαλλον η τουτο
[15] και επιστρεψας κατεβην εκ του ορους και το ορος εκαιετο πυρι και αι δυο πλακες επι ταις δυσι χερσιν μου
[16] και ιδων οτι ημαρτετε εναντιον κυριου του θεου υμων και εποιησατε υμιν εαυτοις χωνευτον και παρεβητε απο της οδου ης ενετειλατο υμιν κυριος
[17] και επιλαβομενος των δυο πλακων ερριψα αυτας απο των δυο χειρων μου και συνετριψα εναντιον υμων
[18] και εδεηθην εναντιον κυριου δευτερον καθαπερ και το προτερον τεσσαρακοντα ημερας και τεσσαρακοντα νυκτας αρτον ουκ εφαγον και υδωρ ουκ επιον περι πασων των αμαρτιων υμων ων ημαρτετε ποιησαι το πονηρον εναντιον κυριου του θεου υμων παροξυναι αυτον
[19] και εκφοβος ειμι δια την οργην και τον θυμον οτι παρωξυνθη κυριος εφ υμιν εξολεθρευσαι υμας και εισηκουσεν κυριος εμου και εν τω καιρω τουτω

[22] και εν τω εμπυρισμω και εν τω πειρασμω και εν τοις μνημασιν της επιθυμιας παροξυνοντες ητε κυριον τον θεον υμων
[23] και οτε εξαπεστειλεν κυριος υμας εκ καδης βαρνη λεγων αναβητε και κληρονομησατε την γην ην διδωμι υμιν και ηπειθησατε τω ρηματι κυριου του θεου υμων και ουκ επιστευσατε αυτω και ουκ εισηκουσατε της φωνης αυτου
[24] απειθουντες ητε τα προς κυριον απο της ημερας ης εγνωσθη υμιν
[25] και εδεηθην εναντιον κυριου τεσσαρακοντα ημερας και τεσσαρακοντα νυκτας οσας εδεηθην ειπεν γαρ κυριος εξολεθρευσαι υμας
[26] και ευξαμην προς τον θεον και ειπα κυριε κυριε βασιλευ των θεων μη εξολεθρευσης τον λαον σου και την μεριδα σου ην ελυτρωσω εν τη ισχυι σου τη μεγαλη ους εξηγαγες εκ γης αιγυπτου εν τη ισχυι σου τη μεγαλη και εν τη χειρι σου τη κραταια και εν τω βραχιονι σου τω υψηλω
[27] μνησθητι αβρααμ και ισαακ και ιακωβ των θεραποντων σου οις ωμοσας κατα σεαυτου μη επιβλεψης επι την σκληροτητα του λαου τουτου και τα ασεβηματα και τα αμαρτηματα αυτων
[28] μη ειπωσιν οι κατοικουντες την γην οθεν εξηγαγες ημας εκειθεν λεγοντες παρα το μη δυνασθαι κυριον εισαγαγειν αυτους εις την γην ην ειπεν αυτοις και παρα το μισησαι αυτους εξηγαγεν αυτους αποκτειναι εν τη ερημω
[29] και ουτοι λαος σου και κληρος σου ους εξηγαγες εκ γης αιγυπτου εν τη ισχυι σου τη μεγαλη και εν τω βραχιονι σου τω υψηλω
