Chapter 34

Deuteronomy · Moses

¹ And Moses went up from Araboth Moab to the mount of Nebo, to the top of Pisgah, which is before Jericho; and the Lord showed him all the mount of Gilead to Dan, and all the land of Naphtali, ² and all the land of Ephraim and Manasseh, and all the land of Judah to the farthest sea; ³ and the wilderness, and the country round about Jericho, the city of palm trees, to Zoar. ⁴ And the Lord said to Moses, This [is] the land of which I swore to Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, saying, To your seed will I give it: and I have shown it to thine eyes, but thou shalt not go in thither.

ΚΑΙ ἀνέβη Μωυσῆς ἀπὸ Ἀραβὼθ Μωὰβ ἐπὶ τὸ ὄρος Ναβαῦ, ἐπὶ κορυφὴν Φασγά, ἥ ἐστιν ἐπὶ προσώπου Ἰεριχώ. καὶ ἔδειξεν αὐτῷ Κύριος πᾶσαν τὴν γῆν Γαλαὰδ ἕως Δὰν καὶ πᾶσαν τὴν γῆν Νεφθαλὶ καὶ πᾶσαν τὴν γῆν Ἐφραΐμ καὶ Μανασσῆ καὶ πᾶσαν τὴν γῆν Ἰούδα ἕως τῆς θαλάσσης τῆς ἐσχάτης καὶ τὴν ἔρημον καὶ τὰ περίχωρα Ἱεριχώ, πόλιν φοινίκων ἕως Σηγώρ. καὶ εἶπε Κύριος πρὸς Μωυσῆν· αὕτη ἡ γῆ, ἣν ὤμοσα τῷ Ἁβραὰμ καὶ Ἰσαὰκ καὶ Ἰακὼβ λέγων· τῷ σπέρματι ὑμῶν δώσω αὐτήν· καὶ ἔδειξα τοῖς ὀφθαλμοῖς σου, καὶ ἐκεῖ οὐκ εἰσελεύσῃ.

Dt 34:1-4

⁵ So Moses the servant of the Lord died in the land of Moab by the word of the Lord. ⁶ And they buried him in Gai near the house of Peor; and no one has seen his sepulcher to this day. ⁷ And Moses was a hundred and twenty years old at his death; his eyes were not dimmed, nor were his natural powers destroyed.

καὶ ἐτελεύτησε Μωυσῆς ὁ οἰκέτης Κυρίου ἐν γῇ Μωὰβ διὰ ρήματος Κυρίου. καὶ ἔθαψαν αὐτὸν ἐν Γαῖ ἐγγὺς οἴκου Φογώρ· καὶ οὐκ εἶδεν οὐδεὶς τὴν ταφὴν αὐτοῦ ἕως τῆς ἡμέρας ταύτης. Μωυσῆς δὲ ἦν ἑκατὸν καὶ εἴκοσιν ἐτῶν ἐν τῷ τελευτᾶν αὐτόν· οὐκ ἠμαυρώθησαν οἱ ὀφθαλμοὶ αὐτοῦ, οὐδὲ ἐφθάρησαν τὰ χελώνια αὐτοῦ.

Dt 34:5-7

⁸ And the children of Israel wept for Moses in Araboth of Moab at Jordan near Jericho thirty days; and the days of the sad mourning for Moses were completed. ⁹ And Joshua the son of Nun was filled with the spirit of knowledge, for Moses had laid his hands upon him; and the children of Israel hearkened to him; and they did as the Lord commanded Moses.

καὶ ἔκλαυσαν οἱ υἱοὶ Ἰσραὴλ Μωυσῆν ἐν Ἀραβὼθ Μωὰβ ἐπὶ τοῦ Ἰορδάνου κατὰ Ἱεριχὼ τριάκοντα ἡμέρας· καὶ συνετελέσθησαν αἱ ἡμέραι πένθους κλαυθμοῦ Μωυσῆ. καὶ Ἰησοῦς υἱὸς Ναυὴ ἐνεπλήσθη πνεύματος συνέσεως, ἐπέθηκε γὰρ Μωυσῆς τὰς χεῖρας αὐτοῦ ἐπ᾿ αὐτόν· καὶ εἰσήκουσαν αὐτοῦ οἱ υἱοὶ Ἰσραὴλ καὶ ἐποίησαν καθότι ἐνετείλατο Κύριος τῷ Μωυσῇ.

Dt 34:8-9

¹⁰ And there rose up no more a prophet in Israel like Moses, whom the Lord knew face to face, ¹¹ in all the signs and wonders, which the Lord sent him to work in Egypt on Pharaoh, and his servants, and all his land; ¹² the great wonders, and the mighty hand which Moses displayed before all Israel.

καὶ οὐκ ἀνέστη ἔτι προφήτης ἐν Ἰσραὴλ ὡς Μωυσῆς, ὃν ἔγνω Κύριος αὐτὸν πρόσωπον κατὰ πρόσωπον, ἐν πᾶσι τοῖς σημείοις καὶ τέρασιν, ὃν ἀπέστειλεν αὐτὸν Κύριος ποιῆσαι αὐτὰ ἐν γῇ Αἰγύπτῳ Φαραὼ καὶ τοῖς θεράπουσιν αὐτοῦ καὶ πάσῃ τῇ γῇ αὐτοῦ, τὰ θαυμάσια τὰ μεγάλα καὶ τὴν χεῖρα τὴν κραταιάν, ἃ ἐποίησε Μωυσῆς ἔναντι παντὸς Ἰσραήλ.
