Congratulations! You have now covered all the alphabet and pronunciation material in Croy, Chapter 1. You are ready for some practice!
Croy provides two passages for practice in Chapter 1.7. You will find those passages below with audio, along with some other passages as well. The New Testament audio is by Marilyn Phemister, and the Septuagint audio is by me.
Use the audio as part of your practice! You can write out the passages AND you can practice listening to the Greek AND you can practice reading the Greek out loud yourself.
The passages have been broken up into meaningful phrases to help make them easier to follow. There is also a translation following the word order of the Greek (although it may be somewhat hard to follow in the English, because the Greek uses grammatical markers instead of word order - as you will learn later on, English relies on very strict rules of word order because it lacks the kind of grammatical markers available in Greek).
You will need to be online to listen to the audio, but you should probably also print out the passages to make it easier to work from. You can print out this printer-friendly version, which contains only the Greek and English parts.
Genesis 1:1-4a.
| ἐν ἀρχῇ ἐποίησεν ὁ θεὸς τὸν οὐρανὸν καὶ τὴν γῆν |
in beginning made the God the heaven and the earth |
| ἡ δὲ γῆ ἦν ἀόρατος καὶ ἀκατασκεύαστος |
the earth was invisible and unprepared |
| καὶ σκότος ἐπάνω τῆς ἀβύσσου | and darkness upon the abyss |
| καὶ πνεῦμα θεοῦ ἐπεφέρετο ἐπάνω τοῦ ὕδατος |
and breath of God was carried upon the water |
| καὶ εἶπεν ὁ θεός γενηθήτω φῶς |
and said the God let there be light |
| καὶ ἐγένετο φῶς | and there was light |
| καὶ εἶδεν ὁ θεὸς τὸ φῶς ὅτι καλόν |
and saw the God the light, that it good |
John 1:1-4a. The punctuation of this portion is highly controversial; you can read about the controversy here.
| ἐν ἀρχῇ ἦν ὁ λόγος | in beginning was the logos |
| καὶ ὁ λόγος ἦν πρὸς τὸν θεόν |
and the logos was to God |
| καὶ θεὸς ἦν ὁ λόγος |
and God was the logos |
| οὗτος ἦν ἐν ἀρχῇ πρὸς τὸν θεόν |
this one was in beginning to the God |
| πάντα δι' αὐτοῦ ἐγένετο | all things through him happened |
| καὶ χωρὶς αὐτοῦ ἐγένετο οὐδὲ ἕν |
and without him happened not one thing |
| ὃ γέγονεν ἐν αὐτῷ ζωὴ ἦν |
the made thing in him life was |
| καὶ ἡ ζωὴ ἦν τὸ φῶς τῶν ἀνθρώπων |
and the life was the light of the people |
Psalm 23:1-3.
| κύριος ποιμαίνει με |
Lord shepherds me |
| καὶ οὐδέν με ὑστερήσει | and nothing to me will lack |
| εἰς τόπον χλόης ἐκεῖ με κατεσκήνωσεν |
to place of green there me he settled |
| ἐπὶ ὕδατος ἀναπαύσεως ἐξέθρεψέν με |
upon water of rest he nourished me |
| τὴν ψυχήν μου ἐπέστρεψεν |
