اَلتَّثْنِيَة 11

١ 1 «فَأَحْبِبِ ٱلرَّبَّ إِلَهَكَ وَٱحْفَظْ حُقُوقَهُ وَفَرَائِضَهُ وَأَحْكَامَهُ وَوَصَايَاهُ كُلَّ ٱلْأَيَّامِ.

Therefore thou shalt love the Lord thy God, and shalt observe his appointments, and his ordinances, and his commandments, and his judgments, always.

٢ 2 وَٱعْلَمُوا ٱلْيَوْمَ أَنِّي لَسْتُ أُرِيدُ بَنِيكُمُ ٱلَّذِينَ لَمْ يَعْرِفُوا وَلَا رَأَوْا تَأْدِيبَ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِكُمْ، عَظَمَتَهُ وَيَدَهُ ٱلشَّدِيدَةَ وَذِرَاعَهُ ٱلرَّفِيعَةَ

And ye shall know this day; for [I speak] not to your children, who know not and have not seen the discipline of the Lord thy God, and his wonderful works, and his strong hand, and his high arm,

٣ 3 وَآيَاتِهِ وَصَنَائِعَهُ ٱلَّتِي عَمِلَهَا فِي مِصْرَ بِفِرْعَوْنَ مَلِكِ مِصْرَ وَبِكُلِّ أَرْضِهِ،

and his miracles, and his wonders, which he wrought in the midst of Egypt on Pharao king of Egypt, and all his land;

٤ 4 وَٱلَّتِي عَمِلَهَا بِجَيْشِ مِصْرَ بِخَيْلِهِمْ وَمَرَاكِبِهِمْ، حَيْثُ أَطَافَ مِيَاهَ بَحْرِ سُوفٍ عَلَى وُجُوهِهِمْ حِينَ سَعَوْا وَرَاءَكُمْ، فَأَبَادَهُمُ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَى هَذَا ٱلْيَوْمِ،

and what he did to the host of the Egyptians, and to their chariots, and their cavalry, and their host; how he made the water of the Red Sea to overwhelm the face of them as they pursued after you, and the Lord destroyed them until this day;

٥ 5 وَٱلَّتِي عَمِلَهَا لَكُمْ فِي ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ حَتَّى جِئْتُمْ إِلَى هَذَا ٱلْمَكَانِ،

and all the things which he did to you in the wilderness until ye came into this place;

٦ 6 وَٱلَّتِي عَمِلَهَا بِدَاثَانَ وَأَبِيرَامَ ٱبْنَيْ أَلِيآبَ بْنِ رَأُوبَيْنَ ٱللَّذَيْنِ فَتَحَتِ ٱلْأَرْضُ فَاهَا وَٱبْتَلَعَتْهُمَا مَعَ بُيُوتِهِمَا وَخِيَامِهِمَا وَكُلِّ ٱلْمَوْجُودَاتِ ٱلتَّابِعَةِ لَهُمَا فِي وَسْطِ كُلِّ إِسْرَائِيلَ.

and all the things that he did to Dathan and Abiron the sons of Eliab the son of Ruben, whom the earth opening her mouth swallowed up, and their houses, and their tents, and all their substance that was with them, in the midst of all Israel:

٧ 7 لِأَنَّ أَعْيُنَكُمْ هِيَ ٱلَّتِي أَبْصَرَتْ كُلَّ صَنَائِعِ ٱلرَّبِّ ٱلْعَظِيمَةِ ٱلَّتِي عَمِلَهَا.

for your eyes have seen all the mighty works of the Lord, which he wrought among you to-day.

٨ 8 «فَٱحْفَظُوا كُلَّ ٱلْوَصَايَا ٱلَّتِي أَنَا أُوصِيكُمْ بِهَا ٱلْيَوْمَ لِكَيْ تَتَشَدَّدُوا وَتَدْخُلُوا وَتَمْتَلِكُوا ٱلْأَرْضَ ٱلَّتِي أَنْتُمْ عَابِرُونَ إِلَيْهَا لِتَمْتَلِكُوهَا،

And ye shall keep all his commandments, as many as I command thee to-day, that ye may live, and be multiplied, and that ye may go in and inherit the land, into which ye go across Jordan to inherit it:

٩ 9 وَلِكَيْ تُطِيلُوا ٱلْأَيَّامَ عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ ٱلَّتِي أَقْسَمَ ٱلرَّبُّ لِآبَائِكُمْ أَنْ يُعْطِيَهَا لَهُمْ وَلِنَسْلِهِمْ، أَرْضٌ تَفِيضُ لَبَنًا وَعَسَلًا.

that ye may live long upon the land, which the Lord sware to your fathers to give to them, and to their seed after them, a land flowing with milk and honey.

١٠ 10 لِأَنَّ ٱلْأَرْضَ ٱلَّتِي أَنْتَ دَاخِلٌ إِلَيْهَا لِكَيْ تَمْتَلِكَهَا لَيْسَتْ مِثْلَ أَرْضِ مِصْرَ ٱلَّتِي خَرَجْتَ مِنْهَا، حَيْثُ كُنْتَ تَزْرَعُ زَرْعَكَ وَتَسْقِيهِ بِرِجْلِكَ كَبُسْتَانِ بُقُولٍ.

For the land into which thou goest to inherit it, is not as the land of Egypt, whence ye came out, whensoever they sow the seed, and water it with their feet, as a garden of herbs:

١١ 11 بَلْ ٱلْأَرْضُ ٱلَّتِي أَنْتُمْ عَابِرُونَ إِلَيْهَا لِكَيْ تَمْتَلِكُوهَا، هِيَ أَرْضُ جِبَالٍ وَبِقَاعٍ. مِنْ مَطَرِ ٱلسَّمَاءِ تَشْرَبُ مَاءً.

but the land into which thou goest to inherit it, is a land of mountains and plains; it shall drink water of the rain of heaven.

١٢ 12 أَرْضٌ يَعْتَنِي بِهَا ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكَ. عَيْنَا ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِكَ عَلَيْهَا دَائِمًا مِنْ أَوَّلِ ٱلسَّنَةِ إِلَى آخِرِهَا.

A land which the Lord thy God surveys continually, the eyes of the Lord thy God are upon it from the beginning of the year to the end of the year.

١٣ 13 «فَإِذَا سَمِعْتُمْ لِوَصَايَايَ ٱلَّتِي أَنَا أُوصِيكُمْ بِهَا ٱلْيَوْمَ لِتُحِبُّوا ٱلرَّبَّ إِلَهَكُمْ وَتَعْبُدُوهُ مِنْ كُلِّ قُلُوبِكُمْ وَمِنْ كُلِّ أَنْفُسِكُمْ،

Now if ye will indeed hearken to all the commands which I charge thee this day, to love the Lord thy God, and to serve him with all thy heart, and with all thy soul,

١٤ 14 أُعْطِي مَطَرَ أَرْضِكُمْ فِي حِينِهِ: ٱلْمُبَكِّرَ وَٱلْمُتَأَخِّرَ. فَتَجْمَعُ حِنْطَتَكَ وَخَمْرَكَ وَزَيْتَكَ.

then he shall give to thy land the early and latter rain in its season, and thou shalt bring in thy corn, and thy wine, and thine oil.

١٥ 15 وَأُعْطِي لِبَهَائِمِكَ عُشْبًا فِي حَقْلِكَ فَتَأْكُلُ أَنْتَ وَتَشْبَعُ.

And he shall give food in thy fields to thy cattle; and when thou hast eaten and art full,

١٦ 16 فَٱحْتَرِزُوا مِنْ أَنْ تَنْغَوِيَ قُلُوبُكُمْ فَتَزِيغُوا وَتَعْبُدُوا آلِهَةً أُخْرَى وَتَسْجُدُوا لَهَا،

take heed to thyself that thy heart be not puffed up, and ye transgress, and serve other gods, and worship them:

١٧ 17 فَيَحْمَى غَضَبُ ٱلرَّبِّ عَلَيْكُمْ، وَيُغْلِقُ ٱلسَّمَاءَ فَلَا يَكُونُ مَطَرٌ، وَلَا تُعْطِي ٱلْأَرْضُ غَلَّتَهَا، فَتَبِيدُونَ سَرِيعًا عَنِ ٱلْأَرْضِ ٱلْجَيِّدَةِ ٱلَّتِي يُعْطِيكُمُ ٱلرَّبُّ.

and the Lord be angry with you, and restrain the heaven; and there shall not be rain, and the earth shall not yield its fruit, and ye shall perish quickly from off the good land, which the Lord has given you.

١٨ 18 «فَضَعُوا كَلِمَاتِي هَذِهِ عَلَى قُلُوبِكُمْ وَنُفُوسِكُمْ، وَٱرْبُطُوهَا عَلَامَةً عَلَى أَيْدِيكُمْ، وَلْتَكُنْ عَصَائِبَ بَيْنَ عُيُونِكُمْ،

And ye shall store these words in your heart and in your soul, and ye shall bind them as a sign on your hand, and it shall be fixed before your eyes.

١٩ 19 وَعَلِّمُوهَا أَوْلَادَكُمْ، مُتَكَلِّمِينَ بِهَا حِينَ تَجْلِسُونَ فِي بُيُوتِكُمْ، وَحِينَ تَمْشُونَ فِي ٱلطَّرِيقِ، وَحِينَ تَنَامُونَ، وَحِينَ تَقُومُونَ.

And ye shall teach them to your children, so as to speak about them when thou sittest in the house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou sleepest, and when thou risest up.

٢٠ 20 وَٱكْتُبْهَا عَلَى قَوَائِمِ أَبْوَابِ بَيْتِكَ وَعَلَى أَبْوَابِكَ،

And ye shall write them on the lintels of your houses, and on your gates;

٢١ 21 لِكَيْ تَكْثُرَ أَيَّامُكَ وَأَيَّامُ أَوْلَادِكَ عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ ٱلَّتِي أَقْسَمَ ٱلرَّبُّ لِآبَائِكَ أَنْ يُعْطِيَهُمْ إِيَّاهَا، كَأَيَّامِ ٱلسَّمَاءِ عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ.

that your days may be long, and the days of your children, upon the land which the Lord sware to your fathers to give to them, as the days of heaven upon the earth.

٢٢ 22 لِأَنَّهُ إِذَا حَفِظْتُمْ جَمِيعَ هَذِهِ ٱلْوَصَايَا ٱلَّتِي أَنَا أُوصِيكُمْ بِهَا لِتَعْمَلُوهَا، لِتُحِبُّوا ٱلرَّبَّ إِلَهَكُمْ وَتَسْلُكُوا فِي جَمِيعِ طُرُقِهِ وَتَلْتَصِقُوا بِهِ،

And it shall come to pass that if ye will indeed hearken to all these commands, which I charge thee to observe this day, to love the Lord our God, and to walk in all his ways, and to cleave close to him;

٢٣ 23 يَطْرُدُ ٱلرَّبُّ جَمِيعَ هَؤُلَاءِ ٱلشُّعُوبِ مِنْ أَمَامِكُمْ، فَتَرِثُونَ شُعُوبًا أَكْبَرَ وَأَعْظَمَ مِنْكُمْ.

then the Lord shall cast out all these nations before you, and ye shall inherit great nations and stronger than yourselves.

٢٤ 24 كُلُّ مَكَانٍ تَدُوسُهُ بُطُونُ أَقْدَامِكُمْ يَكُونُ لَكُمْ. مِنَ ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ وَلُبْنَانَ. مِنَ ٱلنَّهْرِ، نَهْرِ ٱلْفُرَاتِ، إِلَى ٱلْبَحْرِ ٱلْغَرْبِيِّ يَكُونُ تُخْمُكُمْ.

Every place whereon the sole of your foot shall tread shall be your; from the wilderness and Antilibanus, and from the great river, the river Euphrates, even as far as the west sea shall be your coasts.

٢٥ 25 لَا يَقِفُ إِنْسَانٌ فِي وَجْهِكُمْ. اَلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكُمْ يَجْعَلُ خَشْيَتَكُمْ وَرُعْبَكُمْ عَلَى كُلِّ ٱلْأَرْضِ ٱلَّتِي تَدُوسُونَهَا كَمَا كَلَّمَكُمْ.

No one shall stand before you; and the Lord your God will put the fear of you and the dread of you on the face of all the land, on which ye shall tread, as he told you.

٢٦ 26 «اُنْظُرْ. أَنَا وَاضِعٌ أَمَامَكُمُ ٱلْيَوْمَ بَرَكَةً وَلَعْنَةً:

Behold, I set before you this day the blessing and the curse;

٢٧ 27 ٱلْبَرَكَةُ إِذَا سَمِعْتُمْ لِوَصَايَا ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِكُمُ ٱلَّتِي أَنَا أُوصِيكُمْ بِهَا ٱلْيَوْمَ.

the blessing, if ye hearken to the commands of the Lord your God, all that I command you this day;

٢٨ 28 وَٱللَّعْنَةُ إِذَا لَمْ تَسْمَعُوا لِوَصَايَا ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِكُمْ، وَزُغْتُمْ عَنِ ٱلطَّرِيقِ ٱلَّتِي أَنَا أُوصِيكُمْ بِهَا ٱلْيَوْمَ لِتَذْهَبُوا وَرَاءَ آلِهَةٍ أُخْرَى لَمْ تَعْرِفُوهَا.

and the curse, if ye do not hearken to the commands of the Lord our God, as many as I command you this day, and ye wander from the way which I have commanded you, having gone to serve other gods, which ye know not.

٢٩ 29 وَإِذَا جَاءَ بِكَ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكَ إِلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ ٱلَّتِي أَنْتَ دَاخِلٌ إِلَيْهَا لِكِيْ تَمْتَلِكَهَا، فَٱجْعَلِ ٱلْبَرَكَةَ عَلَى جَبَلِ جِرِزِّيمَ، وَٱللَّعْنَةَ عَلَى جَبَلِ عِيبَالَ.

And it shall come to pass when the Lord thy God shall have brought thee into the land into which thou goest over to inherit it, then thou shalt put blessing on mount Garizin, and the curse upon mount Gaebal.

٣٠ 30 أَمَا هُمَا فِي عَبْرِ ٱلْأُرْدُنِّ، وَرَاءَ طَرِيقِ غُرُوبِ ٱلشَّمْسِ فِي أَرْضِ ٱلْكَنْعَانِيِّينَ ٱلسَّاكِنِينَ فِي ٱلْعَرَبَةِ، مُقَابِلَ ٱلْجِلْجَالِ، بِجَانِبِ بَلُّوطَاتِ مُورَةَ؟

Lo! are not these beyond Jordan, behind, westward in the land of Chanaan, which lies westward near Golgol, by the high oak?

٣١ 31 لِأَنَّكُمْ عَابِرُونَ ٱلْأُرْدُنَّ لِتَدْخُلُوا وَتَمْتَلِكُوا ٱلْأَرْضَ ٱلَّتِي ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكُمْ يُعْطِيكُمْ. تَمْتَلِكُونَهَا وَتَسْكُنُونَهَا.

For ye are passing over Jordan, to go in and inherit the land, which the Lord our God gives you to inherit always, and ye shall dwell in it.

٣٢ 32 فَٱحْفَظُوا جَمِيعَ ٱلْفَرَائِضِ وَٱلْأَحْكَامِ ٱلَّتِي أَنَا وَاضِعٌ أَمَامَكُمُ ٱلْيَوْمَ لِتَعْمَلُوهَا.

And ye shall take heed to do all his ordinances, and these judgments, as many as I set before you to-day.
