اَلتَّثْنِيَة 10

١ 1 «فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْوَقْتِ قَالَ لِيَ ٱلرَّبُّ: ٱنْحَتْ لَكَ لَوْحَيْنِ مِنْ حَجَرٍ مِثْلَ ٱلْأَوَّلَيْنِ، وَٱصْعَدْ إِلَيَّ إِلَى ٱلْجَبَلِ، وَٱصْنَعْ لَكَ تَابُوتًا مِنْ خَشَبٍ.

After that the Lord told me, “Cut out two stone tablets just like the first ones, make an Ark out of wood, and come up to me on the mountain.

٢ 2 فَأَكْتُبُ عَلَى ٱللَّوْحَيْنِ ٱلْكَلِمَاتِ ٱلَّتِي كَانَتْ عَلَى ٱللَّوْحَيْنِ ٱلْأَوَّلَيْنِ ٱللَّذَيْنِ كَسَرْتَهُمَا، وَتَضَعُهُمَا فِي ٱلتَّابُوتِ.

I will write same the words on the tablets that were on the first ones, which you broke. Then put them in the Ark.”

٣ 3 فَصَنَعْتُ تَابُوتًا مِنْ خَشَبِ ٱلسَّنْطِ، وَنَحَتُّ لَوْحَيْنِ مِنْ حَجَرٍ مِثْلَ ٱلْأَوَّلَيْنِ، وَصَعِدْتُ إِلَى ٱلْجَبَلِ وَٱللَّوْحَانِ فِي يَدِي.

I made an Ark out of acacia wood, cut out two stone tablets like the first ones, and went up the mountain carrying them.

٤ 4 فَكَتَبَ عَلَى ٱللَّوْحَيْنِ مِثْلَ ٱلْكِتَابَةِ ٱلْأُولَى، ٱلْكَلِمَاتِ ٱلْعَشَرَ ٱلَّتِي كَلَّمَكُمْ بِهَا ٱلرَّبُّ فِي ٱلْجَبَلِ مِنْ وَسَطِ ٱلنَّارِ فِي يَوْمِ ٱلِٱجْتِمَاعِ، وَأَعْطَانِيَ ٱلرَّبُّ إِيَّاهَا.

The Lord wrote what he had before on the tablets, the Ten Commandments that he'd told you when he spoke from the fire on the mountain when we were all assembled there. The Lord gave them to me,

٥ 5 ثُمَّ ٱنْصَرَفْتُ وَنَزَلْتُ مِنَ ٱلْجَبَلِ وَوَضَعْتُ ٱللَّوْحَيْنِ فِي ٱلتَّابُوتِ ٱلَّذِي صَنَعْتُ، فَكَانَا هُنَاكَ كَمَا أَمَرَنِيَ ٱلرَّبُّ.

and I went back down the mountain and put them in the Ark I'd made following the Lord's instructions. They have been there ever since.

٦ 6 وَبَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ ٱرْتَحَلُوا مِنْ آبَارِ بَنِي يَعْقَانَ إِلَى مُوسِيرَ. هُنَاكَ مَاتَ هَارُونُ، وَهُنَاكَ دُفِنَ. فَكَهَنَ أَلِعَازَارُ ٱبْنُهُ عِوَضًا عَنْهُ.

The Israelites went from the wells of the people of Jaakan to Moserah. Aaron died there and was buried, and Eleazar his son took over as priest.

٧ 7 مِنْ هُنَاكَ ٱرْتَحَلُوا إِلَى ٱلْجِدْجُودِ وَمِنَ ٱلْجِدْجُودِ إِلَى يُطْبَاتَ، أَرْضِ أَنْهَارِ مَاءٍ.

From there they moved on to Gudgodah, and from Gudgodah to Jotbathah, a land that had many streams.

٨ 8 فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْوَقْتِ أَفْرَزَ ٱلرَّبُّ سِبْطَ لَاوِي لِيَحْمِلُوا تَابُوتَ عَهْدِ ٱلرَّبِّ، وَلِكَيْ يَقِفُوا أَمَامَ ٱلرَّبِّ لِيَخْدِمُوهُ وَيُبَارِكُوا بِٱسْمِهِ إِلَى هَذَا ٱلْيَوْمِ.

At this time the Lord put the tribe of Levi in charge of carrying the Ark of the Lord's Agreement, as well as serving the Lord by standing in his presence, and of pronouncing blessings in his name, as they continue to do to this day.

٩ 9 لِأَجْلِ ذَلِكَ لَمْ يَكُنْ لِلَاوِي قِسْمٌ وَلَا نَصِيبٌ مَعَ إِخْوَتِهِ. ٱلرَّبُّ هُوَ نَصِيبُهُ كَمَا كَلَّمَهُ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكَ.

That's why the tribe of Levi has no land allowance or share among the other tribes. The Lord provides what they need, just as the Lord your God promised.

١٠ 10 «وَأَنَا مَكَثْتُ فِي ٱلْجَبَلِ كَٱلْأَيَّامِ ٱلْأُولَى، أَرْبَعِينَ نَهَارًا وَأَرْبَعِينَ لَيْلَةً. وَسَمِعَ ٱلرَّبُّ لِي تِلْكَ ٱلْمَرَّةَ أَيْضًا، وَلَمْ يَشَإِ ٱلرَّبُّ أَنْ يُهْلِكَكَ.

I remained on the mountain forty days and forty nights as before, and during that time the Lord listened to my prayers once more and agreed not to destroy you.

١١ 11 ثُمَّ قَالَ لِيَ ٱلرَّبُّ: قُمِ ٱذْهَبْ لِلِٱرْتِحَالِ أَمَامَ ٱلشَّعْبِ، فَيَدْخُلُوا وَيَمْتَلِكُوا ٱلْأَرْضَ ٱلَّتِي حَلَفْتُ لِآبَائِهِمْ أَنْ أُعْطِيَهُمْ.

Then the Lord told me, “Get ready and continue your journey leading the people so they may enter and take over the land that I promised their forefathers to give them.”

١٢ 12 «فَٱلْآنَ يَا إِسْرَائِيلُ، مَاذَا يَطْلُبُ مِنْكَ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكَ إِلَّا أَنْ تَتَّقِيَ ٱلرَّبَّ إِلَهَكَ لِتَسْلُكَ فِي كُلِّ طُرُقِهِ، وَتُحِبَّهُ، وَتَعْبُدَ ٱلرَّبَّ إِلَهَكَ مِنْ كُلِّ قَلْبِكَ وَمِنْ كُلِّ نَفْسِكَ،

People of Israel, what does the Lord your God want from you? He wants you to respect the Lord your God by following all his ways. He wants you to love him. He wants you to worship the Lord your God with all your mind and with all your being,

١٣ 13 وَتَحْفَظَ وَصَايَا ٱلرَّبِّ وَفَرَائِضَهُ ٱلَّتِي أَنَا أُوصِيكَ بِهَا ٱلْيَوْمَ لِخَيْرِكَ.

He wants you to keep the commandments and regulations of the Lord that I am giving you today for your own good.

١٤ 14 هُوَذَا لِلرَّبِّ إِلَهِكَ ٱلسَّمَاوَاتُ وَسَمَاءُ ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ وَٱلْأَرْضُ وَكُلُّ مَا فِيهَا.

Look! Everything belongs to the Lord your God: the heavens, the highest heavens, and the earth and all that is there.

١٥ 15 وَلَكِنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ إِنَّمَا ٱلْتَصَقَ بِآبَائِكَ لِيُحِبَّهُمْ، فَٱخْتَارَ مِنْ بَعْدِهِمْ نَسْلَهُمُ ٱلَّذِي هُوَ أَنْتُمْ فَوْقَ جَمِيعِ ٱلشُّعُوبِ كَمَا فِي هَذَا ٱلْيَوْمِ.

But Lord was attracted to your forefathers and he loved them. He has also chosen you, their descendants, above any other people, even up till today.

١٦ 16 فَٱخْتِنُوا غُرْلَةَ قُلُوبِكُمْ، وَلَا تُصَلِّبُوا رِقَابَكُمْ بَعْدُ.

Dedicate yourselves to God. Don't be stubborn and hard-hearted anymore.

١٧ 17 لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ إِلَهَكُمْ هُوَ إِلَهُ ٱلْآلِهَةِ وَرَبُّ ٱلْأَرْبَابِ، ٱلْإِلَهُ ٱلْعَظِيمُ ٱلْجَبَّارُ ٱلْمَهِيبُ ٱلَّذِي لَا يَأْخُذُ بِٱلْوُجُوهِ وَلَا يَقْبَلُ رَشْوَةً.

For the Lord your God is God of gods and Lord of lords. He is the great, powerful, and awesome God. He shows no favoritism and accepts no bribes.

١٨ 18 ٱلصَّانِعُ حَقَّ ٱلْيَتِيمِ وَٱلْأَرْمَلَةِ، وَٱلْمُحِبُّ ٱلْغَرِيبَ لِيُعْطِيَهُ طَعَامًا وَلِبَاسًا.

He makes sure that orphans and widows receive justice, and he loves the foreigners, providing them with food and clothing.

١٩ 19 فَأَحِبُّوا ٱلْغَرِيبَ لِأَنَّكُمْ كُنْتُمْ غُرَبَاءَ فِي أَرْضِ مِصْرَ.

You too must love the foreigner because you yourselves were once foreigners in Egypt.

٢٠ 20 ٱلرَّبَّ إِلَهَكَ تَتَّقِي. إِيَّاهُ تَعْبُدُ، وَبِهِ تَلْتَصِقُ، وَبِٱسْمِهِ تَحْلِفُ.

You must respect the Lord your God and worship him. Hold onto him and make your promises in his name.

٢١ 21 هُوَ فَخْرُكَ، وَهُوَ إِلَهُكَ ٱلَّذِي صَنَعَ مَعَكَ تِلْكَ ٱلْعَظَائِمَ وَٱلْمَخَاوِفَ ٱلَّتِي أَبْصَرَتْهَا عَيْنَاكَ.

He is the one you should praise and he is your God, who has carried out for you these incredible and awesome miracles that you've seen with your own eyes.

٢٢ 22 سَبْعِينَ نَفْسًا نَزَلَ آبَاؤُكَ إِلَى مِصْرَ، وَٱلْآنَ قَدْ جَعَلَكَ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكَ كَنُجُومِ ٱلسَّمَاءِ فِي ٱلْكَثْرَةِ.

When your forefathers went to Egypt there were only seventy of them in total, but now God has increased your numbers so much that there are as many of you as there are stars in the sky.
