EpD 1:1 Ἐπειδὴ ὁρῶ, κράτιστε Διόγνητε, ὑπερεσπουδακότα σε τὴν θεοσέβειαν τῶν Χριστιανῶν μαθεῖν καὶ πάνυ σαφῶς καὶ ἐπιμελῶς πυνθανόμενον περὶ αὐτῶν, τίνι τε θεῷ πεποιθότες καὶ πῶς θρησκεύοντες αὐτὸν τόν τε κόσμον ὑπερορῶσι πάντες καὶ θανάτου καταφρονοῦσι καὶ οὔτε τοὺς νομιζομένους ὑπὸ τῶν Ἑλλήνων θεοὺς λογίζονται οὔτε τὴν Ἰουδαίων δεισιδαιμονίαν φυλάσσουσι, καὶ τίνα τὴν φιλοστοργίαν ἔχουσι πρὸς ἀλλήλους, καὶ τί δή ποτε καινὸν τοῦτο γένος ἢ ἐπιτήδευμα εἰσῆλθεν εἰς τὸν βίον νῦν καὶ οὐ πρότερον· ἀποδέχομαί γε τῆς προθυμίας σε ταύτης καὶ παρὰ τοῦ θεοῦ, τοῦ καὶ τὸ λέγειν καὶ τὸ ἀκούειν ἡμῖν χορηγοῦντος, αἰτοῦμαι δοθῆναι ἐμοὶ μὲν εἰπεῖν οὕτως, ὡς μάλιστα ἂν ἀκούσαντά σε βελτίω γενέσθαι, σοί τε οὕτως ἀκοῦσαι, ὡς μὴ λυπηθῆναι τὸν εἰπόντα.

Upon-if-then I-seeee-unto, Most-secured Diognêtos, to-having-had-come-to-hastenee-to to-thee to-the-one to-a-Deity-revering-unto of-the-ones of-Anointed-belonged-to to-have-had-learned and all-now unto-evidentinged and unto-vied-upon to-ascertaining about of-them, unto-what-one also unto-a-Deity having-hath-had-come-to-sure and unto-whither religioning-of to-it to-the-one also to-an-orderation they-over-seeee-unto, all, and of-a-death they-center-down-unto and not-also to-the-ones to-being-parceleed-to under of-the-ones of-Hellên' to-deities they-forthee-to not-also to-the-one to-Iouda-belonged to-a-daimon-diring-unto they-guarder, and to-what-one to-the-one to-an-affection-caring-unto they-hold toward to-other-to-other, and to-what-one then whither-also to-fresh to-the-one-this to-a-becomeedness or to-an-availing-upon-to it-had-came-into into to-the-one to-a-dureeation now and not to-more-before; I-receive-off too of-the-one of-a-passioning-before-unto to-thee of-the-one-this and beside of-the-one of-a-Deity, of-the-one and to-the-one to-forth and to-the-one to-hear unto-us of-chorus-leading-unto, I-appeal-unto to-have-been-given unto-ME indeed to-have-had-said unto-the-one-this, as most-such ever to-having-heard to-thee to-better-belonginged-of to-have-had-became, unto-thee also unto-the-one-this to-have-heard, as lest to-have-been-throed-unto to-the-one to-being-upon.

EpD 2:1 Ἄγε δή, καθάρας σεαυτὸν ἀπὸ πάντων τῶν προκατεχόντων σου τὴν διάνοιαν λογισμῶν καὶ τὴν ἀπατῶσάν σε συνήθειαν ἀποσκευασάμενος καὶ γενόμενος ὥσπερ ἐξ ἀρχῆς καινὸς ἄνθρωπος, ὡς ἂν καὶ λόγον καινοῦ, καθάπερ καὶ αὐτὸς ὡμολόγησας, ἀκροατὴς ἐσόμενος· ἴδε μὴ μόνον τοῖς ὀφθαλμοῖς, ἀλλὰ καὶ τῇ φρονήσει, τίνος ὑποστάσεως ἢ τίνος εἴδους τυγχάνουσιν, οὓς ἐρεῖτε καὶ νομίζετε θεούς.

Thou-should-lead then, having-cleansed to-thyself off of-all of-the-ones of-holding-down-before of-thee to-the-one to-an-en-mulling-through-unto of-fortheeings-to-of, and to-the-one to-deluding-unto to-thee to-a-beplaceeing-together-of having-off-equipped-to and having-had-became as-very out of-a-firsting fresh a-mankind, as ever and to-a-forthee of-fresh, down-to-which-very and it thou-along-fortheed-unto, a-hearer shall-having-been; thou-should-have-had-seen lest to-stayeed unto-the-ones unto-eyes, other and unto-the-one unto-a-centering, of-what-one of-a-standing-under or of-what-one of-a-sighteedness they-actuanate, to-which ye-hold and ye-parcelee-to to-deities.

EpD 2:2 οὐχ ὁ μέν τις λίθος ἐστίν, ὅμοιος τῷ πατουμένῳ, ὁ δ᾿ ἐστὶ χαλκός, οὐ κρείσσων τῶν εἰς τὴν χρῆσιν ἡμῖν κεχαλκευμένων σκευῶν, ὁ δὲ ξύλον, ἤδη καὶ σεσηπός, ὁ δὲ ἄργυρος, χρῄζων ἀνθρώπου τοῦ φυλάξαντος, ἵνα μὴ κλαπῇ, ὁ δὲ σίδηρος, ὑπὸ ἰοῦ διεφθαρμένος, ὁ δὲ ὄστρακον, οὐδὲν τοῦ κατεσκευασμένου πρὸς τὴν ἀτιμοτάτην ὑπηρεσίαν εὐπρεπέστερον;

Not the-one indeed a-one a-stone it-be along-belonged unto-the-one unto-being-treaded-unto? The-one then-also it-be a-copper not more-securinged-of of-the-ones into to-the-one to-an-affording unto-us of-having-had-come-to-be-coppered-of of-equipeednesses?

EpD 2:3 οὐ φθαρτῆς ὕλης ταῦτα πάντα; οὐχ ὑπὸ σιδήρου καὶ πυρὸς κεχαλκευμένα; οὐχ ὃ μὲν αὐτῶν λιθοξόος, ὃ δὲ χαλκεύς, ὃ δὲ ἀργυροκόπος, ὃ δὲ κεραμεὺς ἔπλασεν; οὐ πρὶν ἢ ταῖς τέχναις τούτων εἰς τὴν μορφὴν τούτων ἐκτυπωθῆναι, ἦν ἕκαστον αὐτῶν ἑκάστῳ, ἔτι καὶ νῦν, μεταμεμορφωμένον; οὐ τὰ νῦν ἐκ τῆς αὐτῆς ὕλης ὄντα σκεύη γένοιτ᾿ ἄν, εἰ τύχοι τῶν αὐτῶν τεχνιτῶν, ὅμοια τοιούτοις;

Not of-degradable of-a-cumulation the-ones-these all? Not under of-an-iron and of-a-fire having-had-come-to-be-coppered-of? Not which indeed of-them a-stone-shaver, which then-also a-copperer-of, which then-also a-silver-feller, which then-also a-potter-of it-fashioned? Not ere or unto-the-ones unto-craftings of-the-ones-these into to-the-one to-a-form of-the-ones-these to-have-been-en-striked-out, it-was each of-them unto-each if-to-a-one and now having-had-come-to-be-en-formed-with? Not the-ones now out of-the-one of-it of-a-cumulation being equipeednesses it-may-have-had-became ever if it-may-have-had-actuanated of-the-ones of-them of-craft-belongers along-belonged unto-the-ones-unto-the-ones-these?

EpD 2:4 οὐ ταῦτα πάλιν, τὰ νῦν ὑφ᾿ ὑμῶν προσκυνούμενα, δύναιτ᾿ ἂν ὑπὸ ἀνθρώπων σκεύη ὅμοια γενέσθαι τοῖς λοιποῖς; οὐ κωφὰ πάντα; οὐ τυφλά; οὐκ ἄψυχα; οὐκ ἀναίσθητα; οὐκ ἀκίνητα; οὐ πάντα σηπόμενα; οὐ πάντα φθειρόμενα;

Not the-ones-these unto-furthered the-ones now under of-ye being-kissed-toward-unto it-may-able ever under of-mankinds to-equipeednesses to-along-belonged to-have-had-became unto-the-ones unto-remaindered? Not blunted all? Not blind? Not un-breathed? Not un-knowabled-along? Not un-moved? Not all being-decayed? Not all being-degraded?

EpD 2:5 ταῦτα θεοὺς καλεῖτε; τούτοις δουλεύετε; τούτοις προσκυνεῖτε, τέλεον δ᾿ αὐτοῖς ἐξομοιοῦσθε.

To-the-ones-these to-deities ye-call-unto? Unto-the-ones-unto-the-ones-these ye-bondee-of? Unto-the-ones-unto-the-ones-these ye-kiss-toward-unto? To-finished then-also unto-them ye-be-en-along-belonged-out.

EpD 2:6 διὰ τοῦτο μισεῖτε Χριστιανούς, ὅτι τούτους οὐχ ἡγοῦνται θεούς;

Through to-the-one-this ye-hate-unto to-Anointed-belonged-to to-which-a-one to-the-ones-unto-the-ones-these not they-lead-unto to-deities?

EpD 2:7 ὑμεῖς γὰρ αἰνεῖν νομίζοντες καὶ οἰόμενοι, οὐ πολὺ πλέον αὐτῶν καταφρονεῖτε; οὐ πολὺ μᾶλλον αὐτοὺς χλευάζετε καὶ ὑβρίζετε, τοὺς μὲν λιθίνους καὶ ὀστρακίνους σέβοντες ἀφυλάκτους, τοὺς δὲ ἀργυρέους καὶ χρυσοῦς ἐγκλείοντες ταῖς νυξὶ καὶ ταῖς ἡμέραις φύλακας παρακαθιστάντες, ἵνα μὴ κλαπῶσιν;

Ye too-thus to-laud-unto parceleeing-to and which-belonging, not to-much to-beyond of-them ye-should-center-down-unto? Not to-much more-such to-them ye-should-jeer-to and ye-should-abuse-to, to-the-ones indeed to-stoned-belonged-to and to-shelled-belonged-to revering to-un-guardered, to-the-ones then-also to-silvern and to-golden latch-belonging-in unto-the-ones unto-nights and unto-the-ones unto-dayednesses to-guarders standing-down-beside so lest they-might-have-had-been-stolen?

EpD 2:8 αἷς δὲ δοκεῖτε τιμαῖς προσφέρειν, εἰ μὲν αἰσθάνονται, κολάζετε μᾶλλον αὐτούς· εἰ δὲ ἀναισθητοῦσιν, ἐλέγχοντες αἵματι καὶ κνίσαις αὐτοὺς θρησκεύετε.

Unto-which then-also ye-think-unto unto-valuations to-bear-toward, if indeed they-know-along, ye-stricture-to more-such to-them; if indeed they-un-know-along-unto, trialing unto-a-rushering-to and unto-titillatednesses to-them ye-religion-of.

Note: unto-titillatednesses : used to refer to the "titillating" odor from burning fat.

EpD 2:9 ταῦθ᾿ ὑμῶν τις ὑπομεινάτω, ταῦτα ἀνασχέσθω τις ἑαυτῷ γενέσθαι. ἀλλὰ ἄνθρωπος μὲν οὐδὲ εἷς ταύτης τῆς κολάσεως ἑκὼν ἀνέξεται, αἴσθησιν γὰρ ἔχει καὶ λογισμόν· ὁ δὲ λίθος ἀνέχεται, ἀναισθητεῖ γάρ. οὐκ οὖν τὴν αἴσθησιν αὐτοῦ ἐλέγχετε;

To-the-ones-these of-ye a-one it-should-have-stayed-under, to-the-ones-these it-should-hold-up, a-one, unto-self to-have-had-became; other a-mankind indeed not-then-also one of-the-one-this of-the-one of-a-stricturing be-outed it-shall-hold-up, to-a-knowing-along too-thus it-holdeth and to-a-fortheeing-to-of; the-one then-also a-stone it-holdeth-up, it-un-knoweth-along-unto too-thus. Not accordingly to-the-one to-a-knowing-along of-it ye-trial?

EpD 2:10 περὶ μὲν οὖν τοῦ μὴ δεδουλῶσθαι Χριστιανοὺς τοιούτοις θεοῖς πολλὰ μὲν ἂν καὶ ἄλλα εἰπεῖν ἔχοιμι· εἰ δέ τινι μὴ δοκοίη κἂν ταῦτα ἱκανά, περισσὸν ἡγοῦμαι καὶ τὸ πλείω λέγειν.

About indeed accordingly of-the-one lest to-have-had-come-to-be-en-bondeed to-Anointed-belonged-to unto-the-ones-unto-the-ones-these unto-deities to-much indeed ever and to-other to-have-had-said I-may-hold; if then-also unto-a-one lest it-may-think-unto and-ever to-the-ones-these to-ampled, to-abouted I-lead-unto and to-the-one to-beyond to-forth.

Iouda-belonged unto-the-one-now, if indeed they-hold-up of-the-one-this of-the-one of-having-had-come-to-be-uttered-before of-a-serving-of, unto-seemly to-a-Deity to-one of-the-ones of-all to-revere and to-a-Bind-doer they-en-deem-belong to-center-unto; if then-also unto-the-ones unto-having-had-come-to-be-uttered-before unto-along-belong-turned to-the-one to-a-religioning-of they-lead-toward unto-it to-the-one-this, they-un-adjust-along-through.

EpD 3:3 ἃ γὰρ τοῖς ἀναισθήτοις καὶ κωφοῖς προσφέροντες οἱ Ἕλληνες ἀφροσύνης δεῖγμα παρέχουσι, ταῦθ᾿ οὗτοι καθάπερ προσδεομένῳ τῷ θεῷ λογιζόμενοι παρέχειν μωρίαν εἰκὸς μᾶλλον ἡγοῖντ᾿ ἂν, οὐ θεοσέβειαν.
