Leviticus 26 (LXX)

1ΟΥ ποιήσετε ὑμῖν αὐτοῖς χειροποίητα, οὐδὲ γλυπτά, οὐδὲ στήλην ἀναστήσετε ὑμῖν, οὐδὲ λίθον σκοπὸν θήσετε ἐν τῇ γῇ ὑμῶν προσκυνῆσαι αὐτῷ· ἐγώ εἰμι Κύριος ὁ Θεὸς ὑμῶν.“You must not make idols for yourselves or set up a carved image or sacred pillar; you must not place a sculpted stone in your land to bow down to it. For I am the LORD your God.

2τὰ σάββατά μου φυλάξεσθε, καὶ ἀπὸ τῶν ἁγίων μου φοβηθήσεσθε· ἐγώ εἰμι Κύριος.You must keep My Sabbaths and have reverence for My sanctuary. I am the LORD.

3Ἐὰν τοῖς προστάγμασί μου πορεύησθε καὶ τὰς ἐντολάς μου φυλάσσησθε καὶ ποιήσητε αὐτάς,If you follow My statutes and carefully keep My commandments,

4καὶ δώσω τὸν ὑετὸν ὑμῖν ἐν καιρῷ αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἡ γῆ δώσει τὰ γενήματα αὐτῆς καὶ τὰ ξύλα τῶν πεδίων ἀποδώσει τὸν καρπὸν αὐτῶν.I will give you rains in their season, and the land will yield its produce, and the trees of the field will bear their fruit.

5καὶ καταλήψεται ὑμῖν ὁ ἁλοητὸς τὸν τρυγητόν, καὶ ὁ τρυγητὸς καταλήψεται τὸν σπόρον, καὶ φάγεσθε τὸν ἄρτον ὑμῶν εἰς πλησμονὴν καὶ κατοικήσετε μετὰ ἀσφαλείας ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς ὑμῶν, καὶ πόλεμος οὐ διελεύσεται διὰ τῆς γῆς ὑμῶν.Your threshing will continue until the grape harvest, and the grape harvest will continue until sowing time; you will have your fill of food to eat and will dwell securely in your land.

6καὶ δώσω εἰρήνην ἐν τῇ γῇ ὑμῶν, καὶ κοιμηθήσεσθε, καὶ οὐκ ἔσται ὑμᾶς ὁ ἐκφοβῶν, καὶ ἀπολῶ θηρία πονηρὰ ἐκ τῆς γῆς ὑμῶν.And I will give peace to the land, and you will lie down with nothing to fear. I will rid the land of dangerous animals, and no sword will pass through your land.

7καὶ διώξεσθε τοὺς ἐχθροὺς ὑμῶν, καὶ πεσοῦνται ἐναντίον ὑμῶν φόνῳ·You will pursue your enemies, and they will fall by the sword before you.

8καὶ διώξονται ἐξ ὑμῶν πέντε ἑκατόν, καὶ ἑκατὸν ὑμῶν διώξονται μυριάδας. καὶ πεσοῦνται οἱ ἐχθροὶ ὑμῶν ἐναντίον ὑμῶν μαχαίρᾳ.Five of you will pursue a hundred, and a hundred of you will pursue ten thousand, and your enemies will fall by the sword before you.

9καὶ ἐπιβλέψω ἐφ᾿ ὑμᾶς καὶ αὐξανῶ ὑμᾶς καὶ πληθυνῶ ὑμᾶς καὶ στήσω τὴν διαθήκην μου μεθ᾿ ὑμῶν.I will turn toward you and make you fruitful and multiply you, and I will establish My covenant with you.

10καὶ φάγεσθε παλαιὰ καὶ παλαιὰ παλαιῶν, καὶ παλαιὰ ἐκ προσώπου νέων ἐξοίσετε.You will still be eating the old supply of grain when you need to clear it out to make room for the new.

11καὶ θήσω τὴν σκηνήν μου ἐν ὑμῖν, καὶ οὐ βδελύξεται ἡ ψυχή μου ὑμᾶς,And I will make My dwelling place among you, and My soul will not despise you.

12καὶ ἐμπεριπατήσω ἐν ὑμῖν· καὶ ἔσομαι ὑμῶν Θεός, καὶ ὑμεῖς ἔσεσθέ μοι λαός.I will walk among you and be your God, and you will be My people.

13ἐγώ εἰμι Κύριος ὁ Θεὸς ὑμῶν, ὁ ἐξαγαγὼν ὑμᾶς ἐκ γῆς Αἰγύπτου, ὄντων ὑμῶν δούλων, καὶ συνέτριψα τὸν δεσμὸν τοῦ ζυγοῦ ὑμῶν καὶ ἤγαγον ὑμᾶς μετὰ παρρησίας.I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt so that you would no longer be slaves to the Egyptians. I broke the bars of your yoke and enabled you to walk in uprightness.

14ἐὰν δέ μὴ ὑπακούσητέ μου, μὴ δὲ ποιήσητε τὰ προστάγματά μου ταῦτα,If, however, you fail to obey Me and to carry out all these commandments,

15ἀλλὰ ἀπειθήσητε αὐτοῖς καὶ τοῖς κρίμασί μου προσοχθίσῃ ἡ ψυχὴ ὑμῶν, ὥστε ὑμᾶς μὴ ποιεῖν πάσας τὰς ἐντολάς μου, ὥστε διασκεδάσαι τήν διαθήκην μου,and if you reject My statutes, despise My ordinances, and neglect to carry out all My commandments, and so break My covenant,

16καὶ ἐγὼ ποιήσω οὕτως ὑμῖν· καὶ ἐπιστήσω ἐφ᾿ ὑμᾶς τὴν ἀπορίαν, τήν τε ψώραν, καὶ τὸν ἴκτερα σφακελίζοντα τοὺς ὀφθαλμοὺς ὑμῶν, καὶ τὴν ψυχὴν ὑμῶν ἐκτήκουσαν, καὶ σπερεῖτε διακενῆς τὰ σπέρματα ὑμῶν, καὶ ἔδονται οἱ ὑπεναντίοι ὑμῶν.then this is what I will do to you: I will bring upon you sudden terror, wasting disease, and fever that will destroy your sight and drain your life. You will sow your seed in vain, because your enemies will eat it.

17καὶ ἐπιστήσω τὸ πρόσωπόν μου ἐφ᾿ ὑμᾶς, καὶ πεσεῖσθε ἐναντίον τῶν ἐχθρῶν ὑμῶν, καὶ διώξονται ὑμᾶς οἱ μισοῦντες ὑμᾶς, καὶ φεύξεσθε οὐδενὸς διώκοντος ὑμᾶς.And I will set My face against you, so that you will be defeated by your enemies. Those who hate you will rule over you, and you will flee when no one pursues you.

18καὶ ἐὰν ἕως τούτου μὴ ὑπακούσητέ μου, καὶ προσθήσω τοῦ παιδεῦσαι ὑμᾶς ἑπτάκις ἐπὶ ταῖς ἁμαρτίαις ὑμῶν.And if after all this you will not obey Me, I will proceed to punish you sevenfold for your sins.

19καὶ συντρίψω τὴν ὕβριν τῆς ὑπερηφανίας ὑμῶν, καὶ θήσω τὸν οὐρανὸν ὑμῖν σιδηροῦν καὶ τὴν γῆν ὑμῶν ὡσεὶ χαλκῆν.I will break down your stubborn pride and make your sky like iron and your land like bronze,

20καὶ ἔσται εἰς κενὸν ἡ ἰσχὺς ὑμῶν, καὶ οὐ δώσει ἡ γῆ ὑμῶν τὸν σπόρον αὐτῆς, καὶ τὸ ξύλον τοῦ ἀγροῦ ὑμῶν οὐ δώσει τὸν καρπὸν αὐτοῦ.and your strength will be spent in vain. For your land will not yield its produce, and the trees of the land will not bear their fruit.

21καὶ ἐὰν μετὰ ταῦτα πορεύησθε πλάγιοι, καὶ μὴ βούλησθε ὑπακούειν μου, προσθήσω ὑμῖν πληγὰς ἑπτὰ κατὰ τὰς ἁμαρτίας ὑμῶν.If you walk in hostility toward Me and refuse to obey Me, I will multiply your plagues seven times, according to your sins.

22καὶ ἀποστελῶ ἐφ᾿ ὑμᾶς τὰ θηρία τὰ ἄγρια τῆς γῆς καὶ κατέδεται ὑμᾶς καὶ ἐξαναλώσει τὰ κτήνη ὑμῶν, καὶ ὀλιγοστοὺς ποιήσω ὑμᾶς, καὶ ἐρημωθήσονται αἱ ὁδοὶ ὑμῶν.I will send wild animals against you to rob you of your children, destroy your livestock, and reduce your numbers, until your roads lie desolate.

23καὶ ἐπὶ τούτοις ἐὰν μὴ παιδευθῆτε, ἀλλὰ πορεύησθε πρός με πλάγιοι,And if in spite of these things you do not accept My discipline, but continue to walk in hostility toward Me,

24πορεύσομαι κἀγὼ μεθ᾿ ὑμῶν θυμῷ πλαγίῳ, καὶ πατάξω ὑμᾶς κἀγὼ ἑπτάκις ἀντὶ τῶν ἁμαρτιῶν ὑμῶν.then I will act with hostility toward you, and I will strike you sevenfold for your sins.

25καὶ ἐπάξω ἐφ᾿ ὑμᾶς μάχαιραν ἐκδικοῦσαν δίκην διαθήκης, καὶ καταφεύξεσθε εἰς τὰς πόλεις ὑμῶν· καὶ ἐξαποστελῶ θάνατον εἰς ὑμᾶς, καὶ παραδοθήσεσθε εἰς χεῖρας τῶν ἐχθρῶν.And I will bring a sword against you to execute the vengeance of the covenant. Though you withdraw into your cities, I will send a plague among you, and you will be delivered into the hand of the enemy.

26ἐν τῷ θλῖψαι ὑμᾶς σιτοδείᾳ ἄρτων, καὶ πέψουσι δέκα γυναῖκες τοὺς ἄρτους ὑμῶν ἐν κλιβάνῳ ἑνί, καὶ ἀποδώσουσι τοὺς ἄρτους ὑμῶν ἐν σταθμῷ, καὶ φάγεσθε καὶ οὐ μὴ ἐμπλησθῆτε.When I cut off your supply of bread, ten women will bake your bread in a single oven and dole out your bread by weight, so that you will eat but not be satisfied.

27ἐὰν δὲ ἐπὶ τούτοις μὴ ὑπακούσητέ μου, καὶ πορεύησθε πρός με πλάγιοι,But if in spite of all this you do not obey Me, but continue to walk in hostility toward Me,

28καὶ αὐτὸς πορεύσομαι μεθ᾿ ὑμῶν ἐν θυμῷ πλαγίῳ, καὶ παιδεύσω ὑμᾶς ἐγὼ ἑπτάκις κατὰ τὰς ἁμαρτίας ὑμῶν.then I will walk in fury against you, and I, even I, will punish you sevenfold for your sins.

29καὶ φάγεσθε τὰς σάρκας τῶν υἱῶν ὑμῶν καὶ τὰς σάρκας τῶν θυγατέρων ὑμῶν φάγεσθε,You will eat the flesh of your own sons and daughters.

30καὶ ἐρημώσω τὰς στήλας ὑμῶν, καὶ ἐξολοθρεύσω τὰ ξύλινα χειροποίητα ὑμῶν, καὶ θήσω τὰ κῶλα ὑμῶν ἐπὶ τὰ κῶλα τῶν εἰδώλων ὑμῶν, καὶ προσοχθιεῖ ἡ ψυχή μου ὑμῖν.I will destroy your high places, cut down your incense altars, and heap your lifeless bodies on the lifeless remains of your idols; and My soul will despise you.

31καὶ θήσω τὰς πόλεις ὑμῶν ἐρήμους καὶ ἐξερημώσω τὰ ἅγια ὑμῶν, καὶ οὐ μὴ ὀσφρανθῶ τῆς ὀσμῆς τῶν θυσιῶν ὑμῶν.I will reduce your cities to rubble and lay waste your sanctuaries, and I will refuse to smell the pleasing aroma of your sacrifices.

32καὶ ἐξερημώσω ἐγὼ τὴν γῆν ὑμῶν, καὶ θαυμάσονται ἐπ᾿ αὐτῇ οἱ ἐχθροὶ ὑμῶν οἱ ἐνοικοῦντες ἐν αὐτῇ.And I will lay waste the land, so that your enemies who dwell in it will be appalled.

33καὶ διασπερῶ ὑμᾶς εἰς τὰ ἔθνη, καὶ ἐξαναλώσει ὑμᾶς ἐπιπορευομένη ἡ μάχαιρα· καὶ ἔσται ἡ γῆ ὑμῶν ἔρημος, καὶ αἱ πόλεις ὑμῶν ἔσονται ἔρημοι.But I will scatter you among the nations and will draw out a sword after you as your land becomes desolate and your cities are laid waste.

34τότε εὐδοκήσει ἡ γῆ τὰ σάββατα αὐτῆς πάσας τὰς ἡμέρας τῆς ἐρημώσεως αὐτῆς, καὶ ὑμεῖς ἔσεσθε ἐν τῇ γῇ τῶν ἐχθρῶν ὑμῶν· τότε σαββατιεῖ ἡ γῆ, καὶ εὐδοκήσει ἡ γῆ τὰ σάββατα αὐτῆς.Then the land shall enjoy its Sabbaths all the days it lies desolate, while you are in the land of your enemies. At that time the land will rest and enjoy its Sabbaths.

35πάσας τὰς ἡμέρας τῆς ἐρημώσεως αὐτῆς σαββατιεῖ, ἃ οὐκ ἐσαββάτισεν ἐν τοῖς σαββάτοις ὑμῶν, ἡνίκα κατῳκεῖτε αὐτήν.As long as it lies desolate, the land will have the rest it did not receive during the Sabbaths when you lived in it.

36καὶ τοῖς καταλειφθεῖσιν ἐξ ὑμῶν ἐπάξω δουλείαν εἰς τὴν καρδίαν αὐτῶν ἐν τῇ γῇ τῶν ἐχθρῶν αὐτῶν, καί διώξεται αὐτοὺς φωνὴ φύλλου φερομένου, καὶ φεύξονται ὡς φεύγοντες ἀπὸ πολέμου, καὶ πεσοῦνται οὐδενὸς διώκοντος·As for those of you who survive, I will send a faintness into their hearts in the lands of their enemies, so that even the sound of a windblown leaf will put them to flight. And they will flee as one flees the sword, and fall when no one pursues them.

37καὶ ὑπερόψεται ὁ ἀδελφὸς τὸν ἀδελφὸν ὡσεὶ ἐν πολέμῳ, οὐδενὸς κατατρέχοντος, καὶ οὐ δυνήσεσθε ἀντιστῆναι τοῖς ἐχθροῖς ὑμῶν.They will stumble over one another as before the sword, though no one is behind them. So you will not be able to stand against your enemies.

38καὶ ἀπολεῖσθε ἐν τοῖς ἔθνεσι, καὶ κατέδεται ὑμᾶς ἡ γῆ τῶν ἐχθρῶν ὑμῶν.You will perish among the nations, and the land of your enemies will consume you.

39καὶ οἱ καταλειφθέντες ἀφ᾿ ὑμῶν καταφθαρήσονται διὰ τὰς ἁμαρτίας αὐτῶν καὶ διὰ τὰς ἁμαρτίας τῶν πατέρων αὐτῶν, ἐν τῇ γῇ τῶν ἐχθρῶν αὐτῶν τακήσονται.Those of you who survive in the lands of your enemies will waste away in their iniquity and will decay in the sins of their fathers.

40καὶ ἐξαγορεύσουσι τὰς ἁμαρτίας αὐτῶν καὶ τὰς ἁμαρτίας τῶν πατέρων αὐτῶν, ὅτι παρέβησαν καὶ ὑπερεῖδόν με, καὶ ὅτι ἐπορεύθησαν ἐναντίον μου πλάγιοι,But if they will confess their iniquity and that of their fathers in the unfaithfulness that they practiced against Me, by which they have also walked in hostility toward Me—

41καὶ ἐγὼ ἐπορεύθην μετ᾿ αὐτῶν ἐν θυμῷ πλαγίῳ, καὶ ἀπολῷ αὐτοὺς ἐν τῇ γῇ τῶν ἐχθρῶν αὐτῶν· τότε ἐντραπήσεται ἡ καρδία αὐτῶν ἡ ἀπερίτμητος, καὶ τότε εὐδοκήσουσι τὰς ἁμαρτίας αὐτῶν.and I acted with hostility toward them and brought them into the land of their enemies—and if their uncircumcised hearts will be humbled and they will make amends for their iniquity,

42καὶ μνησθήσομαι τῆς διαθήκης Ἰακὼβ καὶ τῆς διαθήκης Ἰσαάκ, καὶ τῆς διαθήκης Ἁβραὰμ μνησθήσομαι, καὶ τῆς γῆς μνησθήσομαι.then I will remember My covenant with Jacob and My covenant with Isaac and My covenant with Abraham, and I will remember the land.

43καὶ ἡ γῆ ἐγκαταλειφθήσεται ἀπ᾿ αὐτῶν· τότε προσδέξεται ἡ γῆ τὰ σάββατα αὐτῆς, ἐν τῷ ἐρημωθῆναι αὐτὴν δι᾿ αὐτούς, καὶ αὐτοὶ προσδέξονται τὰς αὐτῶν ἀνομίας, ἀνθ᾿ ὧν τὰ κρίματά μου ὑπερεῖδον, καὶ τοῖς προστάγμασί μου προσώχθισαν τῇ ψυχῇ αὐτῶν.For the land will be abandoned by them, and it will enjoy its Sabbaths by lying desolate without them. And they will pay the penalty for their iniquity, because they rejected My ordinances and abhorred My statutes.

44καὶ οὐδ᾿ ὡς ὄντων αὐτῶν ἐν τῇ γῇ τῶν ἐχθρῶν αὐτῶν οὐχ ὑπερεῖδον αὐτούς, οὐδὲ προσώχθισα αὐτοῖς ὥστε ἐξαναλῶσαι αὐτούς, τοῦ διασκεδάσαι τὴν διαθήκην μου τὴν πρὸς αὐτούς· ἐγὼ γάρ εἰμι Κύριος ὁ Θεὸς αὐτῶν.Yet in spite of this, when they are in the land of their enemies, I will not reject or despise them so as to destroy them and break My covenant with them; for I am the LORD their God.

45καί μνησθήσομαι διαθήκης αὐτῶν τῆς προτέρας, ὅτε ἐξήγαγον αὐτοὺς ἐκ γῆς Αἰγύπτου, ἐξ οἴκου δουλείας ἔναντι τῶν ἐθνῶν, τοῦ εἶναι αὐτῶν Θεός· ἐγώ εἰμι Κύριος.But for their sake I will remember the covenant with their fathers, whom I brought out of the land of Egypt in the sight of the nations, that I might be their God. I am the LORD.”

46ταῦτα τὰ κρίματά μου καὶ τὰ προστάγματά μου καὶ ὁ νόμος, ὃν ἔδωκε Κύριος ἀνὰ μέσον αὐτοῦ καὶ ἀνὰ μέσον τῶν υἱῶν Ἰσραήλ, ἐν τῷ ὄρει Σινά, ἐν χειρὶ Μωυσῆ.These are the statutes, ordinances, and laws that the LORD established between Himself and the Israelites through Moses on Mount Sinai.
