اَلتَّثْنِيَة 11

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

THEREFORE thou shalt love the Lord thy God, and keep his charge, and his statutes, and his judgments, and his commandments, alway.

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

And know ye this day: for I speak not with your children which have not known, and which have not seen the chastisement of the Lord your God, his greatness, his mighty hand, and his stretched out arm,

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

And his miracles, and his acts, which he did in the midst of Egypt unto Pharaoh the king of Egypt, and unto 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 unto the army of Egypt, unto their horses, and to their chariots; how he made the water of the Red sea to overflow them as they pursued after you, and how the Lord hath destroyed them unto this day;

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

And what he did unto 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 what he did unto Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab, the son of Reuben: how the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed them up, and their households, and their tents, and all the substance that was in their possession, in the midst of all Israel:

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

But your eyes have seen all the great acts of the Lord which he did.

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

Therefore shall ye keep all the commandments which I command you this day, that ye may be strong, and go in and possess the land, whither ye go to possess it;

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

And that ye may prolong your days in the land, which the Lord sware unto your fathers to give unto them and to their seed, a land that floweth 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, whither thou goest in to possess it, is not as the land of Egypt, from whence ye came out, where thou sowedst thy seed, and wateredst it with thy foot, 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, whither ye go to possess it, is a land of hills and valleys, and drinketh 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 careth for: the eyes of the Lord thy God are always upon it, from the beginning of the year even unto 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،

And it shall come to pass, if ye shall hearken diligently unto my commandments which I command you this day, to love the Lord your God, and to serve him with all your heart and with all your soul,

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

That I will give you the rain of your land in his due season, the first rain and the latter rain, that thou mayest gather in thy corn, and thy wine, and thine oil.

١٥ 15 وَأُعْطِي لِبَهَائِمِكَ عُشْبًا فِي حَقْلِكَ فَتَأْكُلُ أَنْتَ وَتَشْبَعُ.

And I will send grass in thy fields for thy cattle, that thou mayest eat and be full.

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

Take heed to yourselves, that your heart be not deceived, and ye turn aside, 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 then the Lord’s wrath be kindled against you, and he shut up the heaven, that there be no rain, and that the land yield not her fruit; and lest ye perish quickly from off the good land which the Lord giveth you.

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

Therefore shall ye lay up these my words in your heart and in your soul, and bind them for a sign upon your hand, that they may be as frontlets between 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 your children, speaking of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, when thou liest down, and when thou risest up.

٢٠ 20 وَٱكْتُبْهَا عَلَى قَوَائِمِ أَبْوَابِ بَيْتِكَ وَعَلَى أَبْوَابِكَ،

And thou shalt write them upon the door posts of thine house, and upon thy 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 multiplied, and the days of your children, in the land which the Lord sware unto your fathers to give 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،

For if ye shall diligently keep all these commandments which I command you, to do them, to love the Lord your God, to walk in all his ways, and to cleave unto him;

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

Then will the Lord drive out all these nations from before you, and ye shall possess greater nations and mightier 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 soles of your feet shall tread shall be yours: from the wilderness and Lebanon, from the river, the river Euphrates, even unto the uttermost sea shall your coast be.

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

There shall no man be able to stand before you: for the Lord your God shall lay the fear of you and the dread of you upon all the land that ye shall tread upon, as he hath said unto you.

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

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

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

A blessing, if ye obey the commandments of the Lord your God, which 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 a curse, if ye will not obey the commandments of the Lord your God, but turn aside out of the way which I command you this day, to go after other gods, which ye have not known.

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 hath brought thee in unto the land whither thou goest to possess it, that thou shalt put the blessing upon mount Gerizim, and the curse upon mount Ebal.

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

Are they not on the other side Jordan, by the way where the sun goeth down, in the land of the Canaanites, which dwell in the champaign over against Gilgal, beside the plains of Moreh?

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

For ye shall pass over Jordan to go in to possess the land which the Lord your God giveth you, and ye shall possess it, and dwell therein.

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

And ye shall observe to do all the statutes and judgments which I set before you this day.
