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.

At that time, said Yahweh unto me—Cut thee out two tables of stone like the first, and come up unto me into the mountain, —and make thee an ark of wood;

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

that I may write, upon the tables, the words which were on the first tables which thou brakest in pieces, —then shalt thou put them in the ark.

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

So I made an ark of acacia wood, and cut out two tables of stone like the first, —and went up the mountain, having the two tables in my hand.

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.

And he wrote upon the tables according to the first writing—the ten words, which Yahweh had spoken unto you in the mountain, out of the midst of the fire in the day of the convocation, —and Yahweh delivered them unto me.

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

Then turned I, and came down out of the mountain, and put the tables in the ark which I had made, —and they have remained there, as Yahweh commanded me.

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

And, the sons of Israel, set forward out of Beeroth Bene-jaakan to Moserah, —there, died Aaron and was buried there, and Eleazar his son became priest in his stead.

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

From thence, set they forward unto the Gudgodah, —and from the Gudgodah to Jotbathah, a land of torrents of water.

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

At that time, did Yahweh separate the tribe of Levi, to bear the ark of the covenant of Yahweh, —to stand before Yahweh to wait upon him and to bless in his name (until this day).

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

For this cause, hath Levi neither portion nor inheritance with his brethren, —Yahweh, is his inheritance, as Yahweh thy God spake unto him.

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

But, I, stayed in the mountain according to the former days, forty days and forty nights, —and Yahweh hearkened unto me at that time also, Yahweh was not willing, to destroy thee.

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

So then Yahweh said unto me, Up with thee—to break away onward, before the people, —that they may enter in and possess the land, which I sware unto their fathers, to give unto 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،

Now, therefore, O Israel, what is, Yahweh thy God, asking of thee, —but to revere Yahweh thy God to walk in all his ways, and to love him, and to serve Yahweh thy God, with all thy heart, and with all thy soul:

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

to keep the commandments of Yahweh and his statutes, which I am commanding thee to-day, —for thy good?

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

Lo! unto Yahweh thy God, belong the heavens even the highest heavens, —the earth, with all that is therein.

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

Only unto thy fathers, Yahweh became attached so as to love them, —therefore made he choice of their seed after them—of you—out of all the peoples, (as at this day).

١٦ 16 فَٱخْتِنُوا غُرْلَةَ قُلُوبِكُمْ، وَلَا تُصَلِّبُوا رِقَابَكُمْ بَعْدُ.

Therefore must ye circumcise the foreskin of your hearts, —and your necks, must ye stiffen no more.

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

For as touching Yahweh your God, he, is God of gods, and Lord of lords; the great the mighty, and the fearful GOD, who respecteth not persons, nor accepteth a bribe;

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

executing the vindication of the orphan and the widow, —and loving a sojourner, giving him food and raiment.

١٩ 19 فَأَحِبُّوا ٱلْغَرِيبَ لِأَنَّكُمْ كُنْتُمْ غُرَبَاءَ فِي أَرْضِ مِصْرَ.

Therefore shall ye love the sojourner, —for sojourners, became ye in the land of Egypt.

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

Yahweh thy God, shalt thou revere, Him, shalt thou serve, —And unto him, shalt thou cleave, And in his name, shalt thou swear.

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

He, is thy song of praise, And, he, thy God, —who hath done with thee these great and fearful things, which thine own eyes have seen.

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

As seventy souls, went thy fathers down to Egypt, —and, now, Yahweh thy God hath made thee like the stars of the heavens for multitude.
