اَلتَّثْنِيَة 2
| «ثُمَّ تَحَوَّلْنَا وَٱرْتَحَلْنَا إِلَى ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ عَلَى طَرِيقِ بَحْرِ سُوفَ كَمَا كَلَّمَنِي ٱلرَّبُّ، وَدُرْنَا بِجَبَلِ سِعِيرَ أَيَّامًا كَثِيرَةً. | ١ 1 |
Then we turned around and headed back into the desert on the road that leads to the Red Sea, as the Lord had told me, and we wandered around Mount Seir for a long time.
| ثُمَّ كَلَّمَنِي ٱلرَّبُّ قَائِلًا: | ٢ 2 |
This is when the Lord told me,
| كَفَاكُمْ دَوَرَانٌ بِهَذَا ٱلْجَبَلِ. تَحَوَّلُوا نَحْوَ ٱلشِّمَالِ. | ٣ 3 |
“You have been wandering around this mountain long enough. Go back north,
| وَأَوْصِ ٱلشَّعْبَ قَائِلًا: أَنْتُمْ مَارُّونَ بِتُخْمِ إِخْوَتِكُمْ بَنِي عِيسُو ٱلسَّاكِنِينَ فِي سِعِيرَ، فَيَخَافُونَ مِنْكُمْ فَٱحْتَرِزُوا جِدًّا. | ٤ 4 |
and give these orders to the people: ‘You are going to pass through the territory of your relatives, the descendants of Esau, who live in Seir. They will be frightened of you, so you need to be very careful.
| لَا تَهْجِمُوا عَلَيْهِمْ، لِأَنِّي لَا أُعْطِيكُمْ مِنْ أَرْضِهِمْ وَلَا وَطْأَةَ قَدَمٍ، لِأَنِّي لِعِيسُو قَدْ أَعْطَيْتُ جَبَلَ سِعِيرَ مِيرَاثًا. | ٥ 5 |
Don't fight them, for I'm not going to give you any of their land, not even the size of a footprint, because I have given Mount Seir to Esau and it belongs to him.
| طَعَامًا تَشْتَرُونَ مِنْهُمْ بِٱلْفِضَّةِ لِتَأْكُلُوا، وَمَاءً أَيْضًا تَبْتَاعُونَ مِنْهُمْ بِٱلْفِضَّةِ لِتَشْرَبُوا. | ٦ 6 |
Pay them with money for the food you eat and the water you drink.’
| لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ إِلَهَكَ قَدْ بَارَكَكَ فِي كُلِّ عَمَلِ يَدِكَ، عَارِفًا مَسِيرَكَ فِي هَذَا ٱلْقَفْرِ ٱلْعَظِيمِ. اَلْآنَ أَرْبَعُونَ سَنَةً لِلرَّبِّ إِلَهِكَ مَعَكَ، لَمْ يَنْقُصْ عَنْكَ شَيْءٌ. | ٧ 7 |
Remember that the Lord your God has blessed you in everything you've done. He has looked after you during your journey through this large desert. The Lord your God has been with you for these forty years, and you haven't lacked anything.”
| فَعَبَرْنَا عَنْ إِخْوَتِنَا بَنِي عِيسُو ٱلسَّاكِنِينَ فِي سِعِيرَ عَلَى طَرِيقِ ٱلْعَرَبَةِ، عَلَى أَيْلَةَ، وَعَلَى عِصْيُونِ جَابِرَ، ثُمَّ تَحَوَّلْنَا وَمَرَرْنَا فِي طَرِيقِ بَرِّيَّةِ مُوآبَ. | ٨ 8 |
So we passed by our relatives, the descendants of Esau, who live in Seir. We didn't take the Arabah road from Elath and Ezion-geber. Instead we used the road that goes through the desert of Moab.
| «فَقَالَ لِي ٱلرَّبُّ: لَا تُعَادِ مُوآبَ وَلَا تُثِرْ عَلَيْهِمْ حَرْبًا، لِأَنِّي لَا أُعْطِيكَ مِنْ أَرْضِهِمْ مِيرَاثًا، لِأَنِّي لِبَنِي لُوطٍ قَدْ أَعْطَيْتُ «عَارَ» مِيرَاثًا. | ٩ 9 |
Then the Lord told me, “Don't cause the Moabites any trouble or fight them, for I'm not going to give you any of their land, because I have given Ar to the descendants of Lot and it belongs to them.”
| ٱلْإِيمِيُّونَ سَكَنُوا فِيهَا قَبْلًا. شَعْبٌ كَبِيرٌ وَكَثِيرٌ وَطَوِيلٌ كَٱلْعَنَاقِيِّينَ. | ١٠ 10 |
(A strong and numerous people called the Emim once lived there. They were as tall as the Anakim,
| هُمْ أَيْضًا يُحْسَبُونَ رَفَائِيِّينَ كَٱلْعَنَاقِيِّينَ، لَكِنَّ ٱلْمُوآبِيِّينَ يَدْعُونَهُمْ إِيمِيِّينَ. | ١١ 11 |
and just like the Anakim, they were also considered as Rephaim, but the Moabites called them Emim.
| وَفِي سِعِيرَ سَكَنَ قَبْلًا ٱلْحُورِيُّونَ، فَطَرَدَهُمْ بَنُو عِيسُو وَأَبَادُوهُمْ مِنْ قُدَّامِهِمْ وَسَكَنُوا مَكَانَهُمْ، كَمَا فَعَلَ إِسْرَائِيلُ بِأَرْضِ مِيرَاثِهِمِ ٱلَّتِي أَعْطَاهُمُ ٱلرَّبُّ. | ١٢ 12 |
Previously the Horites lived in Seir, but the descendants of Esau took over their land. They killed the Horites and settled there, just like Israel did when they occupied the land that the Lord had given them.)
| اَلْآنَ قُومُوا وَٱعْبُرُوا وَادِيَ زَارَدَ. فَعَبَرْنَا وَادِيَ زَارَدَ. | ١٣ 13 |
Then the Lord told us, “Go and cross over Zered Brook.” So we crossed over Zered Brook.
| وَٱلْأَيَّامُ ٱلَّتِي سِرْنَا فِيهَا مِنْ قَادَشَ بَرْنِيعَ حَتَّى عَبَرْنَا وَادِيَ زَارَدَ، كَانَتْ ثَمَانِيَ وَثَلَاثِينَ سَنَةً، حَتَّى فَنِيَ كُلُّ ٱلْجِيلِ، رِجَالُ ٱلْحَرْبِ مِنْ وَسَطِ ٱلْمَحَلَّةِ، كَمَا أَقْسَمَ ٱلرَّبُّ لَهُمْ. | ١٤ 14 |
The time it took for us to travel from Kadesh-barnea to when we crossed over the Brook of Zered was thirty-eight years. By this time the entire generation of warriors had died and were no longer part of the camp, as the Lord had sworn to them would happen.
| وَيَدُ ٱلرَّبِّ أَيْضًا كَانَتْ عَلَيْهِمْ لِإِبَادَتِهِمْ مِنْ وَسَطِ ٱلْمَحَلَّةِ حَتَّى فَنُوا. | ١٥ 15 |
In fact the Lord worked against them to remove them from the camp, until they were all dead.
| «فَعِنْدَمَا فَنِيَ جَمِيعُ رِجَالِ ٱلْحَرْبِ بِٱلْمَوْتِ مِنْ وَسَطِ ٱلشَّعْبِ، | ١٦ 16 |
Once the people's warriors had died,
| كَلَّمَنِي ٱلرَّبُّ قَائِلًا: | ١٧ 17 |
the Lord told me,
| أَنْتَ مَارٌّ ٱلْيَوْمَ بِتُخْمِ مُوآبَ، بِعَارَ. | ١٨ 18 |
“Today you will cross out of Moab at the border near Ar.
| فَمَتَى قَرُبْتَ إِلَى تُجَاهِ بَنِي عَمُّونَ، لَا تُعَادِهِمْ وَلَا تَهْجِمُوا عَلَيْهِمْ، لِأَنِّي لَا أُعْطِيكَ مِنْ أَرْضِ بَنِي عَمُّونَ مِيرَاثًا، لِأَنِّي لِبَنِي لُوطٍ قَدْ أَعْطَيْتُهَا مِيرَاثًا. | ١٩ 19 |
However, when you get enter Ammonite territory, don't cause them any trouble or fight them for I'm not going to give you any Ammonite land, because I have given it to the descendants of Lot and it belongs to them.”
| هِيَ أَيْضًا تُحْسَبُ أَرْضَ رَفَائِيِّينَ. سَكَنَ ٱلرَّفَائِيُّونَ فِيهَا قَبْلًا، لَكِنَّ ٱلْعَمُّونِيِّينَ يَدْعُونَهُمْ زَمْزُمِيِّينَ. | ٢٠ 20 |
(This land was previously considered as the country of the Rephaim who used to live there. However, the Ammonites called them Zamzummites.
| شَعْبٌ كَبِيرٌ وَكَثِيرٌ وَطَوِيلٌ كَٱلْعَنَاقِيِّينَ، أَبَادَهُمُ ٱلرَّبُّ مِنْ قُدَّامِهِمْ، فَطَرَدُوهُمْ وَسَكَنُوا مَكَانَهُمْ. | ٢١ 21 |
They were a strong and numerous people, as tall as the Anakim. But the Lord destroyed them when the Ammonites invaded and drove them out and settled there,
| كَمَا فَعَلَ لِبَنِي عِيسُو ٱلسَّاكِنِينَ فِي سِعِيرَ ٱلَّذِينَ أَتْلَفَ ٱلْحُورِيِّينَ مِنْ قُدَّامِهِمْ، فَطَرَدُوهُمْ وَسَكَنُوا مَكَانَهُمْ إِلَى هَذَا ٱلْيَوْمِ. | ٢٢ 22 |
just as he'd done for the descendants of Esau who lived in Seir when he destroyed the Horites. They drove them out and settled where they used to live, and are still there to this day.
| وَٱلْعُوِّيُّونَ ٱلسَّاكِنُونَ فِي ٱلْقُرَى إِلَى غَزَّةَ، أَبَادَهُمُ ٱلْكَفْتُورِيُّونَ ٱلَّذِينَ خَرَجُوا مِنْ كَفْتُورَ وَسَكَنُوا مَكَانَهُمْ. | ٢٣ 23 |
The Avvim, living in villages as far away as Gaza, were destroyed by the Philistines, who came from Crete, and settled where they used to live.)
| «قُومُوا ٱرْتَحِلُوا وَٱعْبُرُوا وَادِيَ أَرْنُونَ. اُنْظُرْ. قَدْ دَفَعْتُ إِلَى يَدِكَ سِيحُونَ مَلِكَ حَشْبُونَ ٱلْأَمُورِيَّ وَأَرْضَهُ. ٱبْتَدِئْ تَمَلَّكْ وَأَثِرْ عَلَيْهِ حَرْبًا. | ٢٤ 24 |
Then the Lord told us, “Get up, go and cross the Arnon Valley. Look, I have handed over to you Sihon the Amorite, king of Heshbon, as well as his land. Go and start taking it over, and fight him in battle.
| فِي هَذَا ٱلْيَوْمِ أَبْتَدِئُ أَجْعَلُ خَشْيَتَكَ وَخَوْفَكَ أَمَامَ وُجُوهِ ٱلشُّعُوبِ تَحْتَ كُلِّ ٱلسَّمَاءِ. ٱلَّذِينَ يَسْمَعُونَ خَبَرَكَ يَرْتَعِدُونَ وَيَجْزَعُونَ أَمَامَكَ. | ٢٥ 25 |
From this day on, I'm going to make all nations on earth dread you—they will be terrified of you. Because of the news they hear about you they will tremble in terror when you appear.”
| «فَأَرْسَلْتُ رُسُلًا مِنْ بَرِّيَّةِ قَدِيمُوتَ إِلَى سِيحُونَ مَلِكِ حَشْبُونَ بِكَلَامِ سَلَامٍ قَائِلًا: | ٢٦ 26 |
Moses told the Israelites, “From the Kedemoth Desert I sent messengers with an offer of peace to Sihon, king of Heshbon, telling him,
| أَمُرُّ فِي أَرْضِكَ. أَسْلُكُ ٱلطَّرِيقَ ٱلطَّرِيقَ، لَا أَمِيلُ يَمِينًا وَلَا شِمَالًا. | ٢٧ 27 |
‘Let us pass through your land. We'll stay on the main road and won't turn off either to the right or to the left.
| طَعَامًا بِٱلْفِضَّةِ تَبِيعُنِي لِآكُلَ، وَمَاءً بِٱلْفِضَّةِ تُعْطِينِي لِأَشْرَبَ. أَمُرُّ بِرِجْلَيَّ فَقَطْ. | ٢٨ 28 |
Sell us food to eat and water to drink for money. Just let us pass through on foot,
| كَمَا فَعَلَ بِي بَنُو عِيسُو ٱلسَّاكِنُونَ فِي سِعِيرَ، وَٱلْمُوآبِيُّونَ ٱلسَّاكِنُونَ فِي عَارَ، إِلَى أَنْ أَعْبُرَ ٱلْأُرْدُنَّ إِلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ ٱلَّتِي أَعْطَانَا ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُنَا. | ٢٩ 29 |
just like the descendants of Esau living in Seir and the Moabites living in Ar allowed us, until we cross over the Jordan into the country that the Lord our God is giving to us.”
| لَكِنْ لَمْ يَشَأْ سِيحُونُ مَلِكُ حَشْبُونَ أَنْ يَدَعَنَا نَمُرَّ بِهِ، لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ إِلَهَكَ قَسَّى رُوحَهُ، وَقَوَّى قَلْبَهُ لِكَيْ يَدْفَعَهُ إِلَى يَدِكَ كَمَا فِي هَذَا ٱلْيَوْمِ. | ٣٠ 30 |
But Sihon king of Heshbon refused to let us pass through, for the Lord your God gave him a stubborn spirit and an obstinate attitude, so the Lord could hand him over to you, as he has now done.
| وَقَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ لِي: اُنْظُرْ. قَدِ ٱبْتَدَأْتُ أَدْفَعُ أَمَامَكَ سِيحُونَ وَأَرْضَهُ. ٱبْتَدِئْ تَمَلَّكْ حَتَّى تَمْتَلِكَ أَرْضَهُ. | ٣١ 31 |
Then the Lord told me, “Look, I have started handing Sihon and his land over to you. Now you can begin to conquer and take over his land.”
| فَخَرَجَ سِيحُونُ لِلِقَائِنَا هُوَ وَجَمِيعُ قَوْمِهِ لِلْحَرْبِ إِلَى يَاهَصَ، | ٣٢ 32 |
Sihon and his whole army came out to fight us at Jahaz.
| فَدَفَعَهُ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُنَا أَمَامَنَا، فَضَرَبْنَاهُ وَبَنِيهِ وَجَمِيعَ قَوْمِهِ. | ٣٣ 33 |
The Lord our God handed him over to us, and we killed him, his sons, and all his army.
| وَأَخَذْنَا كُلَّ مُدُنِهِ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْوَقْتِ، وَحَرَّمْنَا مِنْ كُلِّ مَدِينَةٍ: ٱلرِّجَالَ وَٱلنِّسَاءَ وَٱلْأَطْفَالَ. لَمْ نُبْقِ شَارِدًا. | ٣٤ 34 |
We also captured all his towns, and set apart for destruction the people of every town: men, women, and children. We didn't leave any survivors.
| لَكِنَّ ٱلْبَهَائِمَ نَهَبْنَاهَا لِأَنْفُسِنَا، وَغَنِيمَةَ ٱلْمُدُنِ ٱلَّتِي أَخَذْنَا، | ٣٥ 35 |
All we took for ourselves was the livestock and plunder from the towns we'd captured.
| مِنْ عَرُوعِيرَ ٱلَّتِي عَلَى حَافَةِ وَادِي أَرْنُونَ وَٱلْمَدِينَةِ ٱلَّتِي فِي ٱلْوَادِي، إِلَى جِلْعَادَ، لَمْ تَكُنْ قَرْيَةٌ قَدِ ٱمْتَنَعَتْ عَلَيْنَا. ٱلْجَمِيعُ دَفَعَهُ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُنَا أَمَامَنَا. | ٣٦ 36 |
No town had walls too high for us to conquer—from Aroer on the edge of the Arnon Valley, the town in the valley, all the way to Gilead. The Lord our God handed them all over to us.
| وَلَكِنَّ أَرْضَ بَنِي عَمُّونَ لَمْ نَقْرَبْهَا. كُلَّ نَاحِيَةِ وَادِي يَبُّوقَ وَمُدُنَ ٱلْجَبَلِ وَكُلَّ مَا أَوْصَى ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُنَا. | ٣٧ 37 |
But you didn't go anywhere near the country of the Ammonites—the area that borders the Jabbok River or the towns of the hill country, or any other place that the Lord our God had placed off limits.
