اَلتَّثْنِيَة 30

١ 1 «وَمَتَى أَتَتْ عَلَيْكَ كُلُّ هَذِهِ ٱلْأُمُورِ، ٱلْبَرَكَةُ وَٱللَّعْنَةُ، ٱللَّتَانِ جَعَلْتُهُمَا قُدَّامَكَ، فَإِنْ رَدَدْتَ فِي قَلْبِكَ بَيْنَ جَمِيعِ ٱلْأُمَمِ ٱلَّذِينَ طَرَدَكَ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكَ إِلَيْهِمْ،

“And it has been, when all these things come on you, the blessing and the reviling, which I have set before you, and you have brought [them] back to your heart among all the nations to where your God YHWH has driven you away,

٢ 2 وَرَجَعْتَ إِلَى ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِكَ، وَسَمِعْتَ لِصَوْتِهِ حَسَبَ كُلِّ مَا أَنَا أُوصِيكَ بِهِ ٱلْيَوْمَ، أَنْتَ وَبَنُوكَ، بِكُلِّ قَلْبِكَ وَبِكُلِّ نَفْسِكَ،

and have turned back to your God YHWH and listened to His voice, according to all that I am commanding you today, you and your sons, with all your heart and with all your soul—

٣ 3 يَرُدُّ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكَ سَبْيَكَ وَيَرْحَمُكَ، وَيَعُودُ فَيَجْمَعُكَ مِنْ جَمِيعِ ٱلشُّعُوبِ ٱلَّذِينَ بَدَّدَكَ إِلَيْهِمِ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكَ.

then your God YHWH has turned back [to] your captivity and pitied you, indeed, He has turned back and gathered you out of all the peoples to where your God YHWH has scattered you.

٤ 4 إِنْ يَكُنْ قَدْ بَدَّدَكَ إِلَى أَقْصَاءِ ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ، فَمِنْ هُنَاكَ يَجْمَعُكَ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكَ، وَمِنْ هُنَاكَ يَأْخُذُكَ،

If your outcast is in the extremity of the heavens, your God YHWH gathers you from there and He takes you from there;

٥ 5 وَيَأْتِي بِكَ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكَ إِلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ ٱلَّتِي ٱمْتَلَكَهَا آبَاؤُكَ فَتَمْتَلِكُهَا، وَيُحْسِنُ إِلَيْكَ وَيُكَثِّرُكَ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ آبَائِكَ.

and your God YHWH has brought you into the land which your fathers have possessed, and you have inherited it, and He has done you good, and multiplied you above your fathers.

٦ 6 وَيَخْتِنُ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكَ قَلْبَكَ وَقَلْبَ نَسْلِكَ، لِكَيْ تُحِبَّ ٱلرَّبَّ إِلَهَكَ مِنْ كُلِّ قَلْبِكَ وَمِنْ كُلِّ نَفْسِكَ لِتَحْيَا.

And your God YHWH has circumcised your heart and the heart of your seed, to love your God YHWH with all your heart and with all your soul, for the sake of your life;

٧ 7 وَيَجْعَلُ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكَ كُلَّ هَذِهِ ٱللَّعَنَاتِ عَلَى أَعْدَائِكَ، وَعَلَى مُبْغِضِيكَ ٱلَّذِينَ طَرَدُوكَ.

and your God YHWH has put all this oath on your enemies and on those hating you, who have pursued you.

٨ 8 وَأَمَّا أَنْتَ فَتَعُودُ تَسْمَعُ لِصَوْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ، وَتَعْمَلُ بِجَمِيعِ وَصَايَاهُ ٱلَّتِي أَنَا أُوصِيكَ بِهَا ٱلْيَوْمَ،

And you turn back, and have listened to the voice of YHWH, and have done all His commands which I am commanding you today;

٩ 9 فَيَزِيدُكَ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكَ خَيْرًا فِي كُلِّ عَمَلِ يَدِكَ، فِي ثَمَرَةِ بَطْنِكَ وَثَمَرَةِ بَهَائِمِكَ وَثَمَرَةِ أَرْضِكَ. لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ يَرْجِعُ لِيَفْرَحَ لَكَ بِٱلْخَيْرِ كَمَا فَرِحَ لِآبَائِكَ،

and your God YHWH has made you abundant in every work of your hand, in the fruit of your body, and in the fruit of your livestock, and in the fruit of your ground, for good; for YHWH turns back to rejoice over you for good, as He rejoiced over your fathers,

١٠ 10 إِذَا سَمِعْتَ لِصَوْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِكَ لِتَحْفَظَ وَصَايَاهُ وَفَرَائِضَهُ ٱلْمَكْتُوبَةَ فِي سِفْرِ ٱلشَّرِيعَةِ هَذَا. إِذَا رَجَعْتَ إِلَى ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِكَ بِكُلِّ قَلْبِكَ وَبِكُلِّ نَفْسِكَ.

for you listen to the voice of your God YHWH, to keep His commands and His statutes which are written in the scroll of this law, for you turn back to your God YHWH with all your heart and with all your soul.

١١ 11 «إِنَّ هَذِهِ ٱلْوَصِيَّةَ ٱلَّتِي أُوصِيكَ بِهَا ٱلْيَوْمَ لَيْسَتْ عَسِرَةً عَلَيْكَ وَلَا بَعِيدَةً مِنْكَ.

For this command which I am commanding you today, it is not too wonderful for you, nor [is] it far off.

١٢ 12 لَيْسَتْ هِيَ فِي ٱلسَّمَاءِ حَتَّى تَقُولَ: مَنْ يَصْعَدُ لِأَجْلِنَا إِلَى ٱلسَّمَاءِ وَيَأْخُذُهَا لَنَا وَيُسْمِعُنَا إِيَّاهَا لِنَعْمَلَ بِهَا؟

It is not in the heavens, saying, Who goes up into the heavens for us, and takes it for us, and causes us to hear it, that we may do it?

١٣ 13 وَلَا هِيَ فِي عَبْرِ ٱلْبَحْرِ حَتَّى تَقُولَ: مَنْ يَعْبُرُ لِأَجْلِنَا ٱلْبَحْرَ وَيَأْخُذُهَا لَنَا وَيُسْمِعُنَا إِيَّاهَا لِنَعْمَلَ بِهَا؟

And it [is] not beyond the sea, saying, Who passes over beyond the sea for us, and takes it for us, and causes us to hear it, that we may do it?

١٤ 14 بَلِ ٱلْكَلِمَةُ قَرِيبَةٌ مِنْكَ جِدًّا، فِي فَمِكَ وَفِي قَلْبِكَ لِتَعْمَلَ بِهَا.

For the word is very near to you, in your mouth, and in your heart—to do it.

١٥ 15 «اُنْظُرْ. قَدْ جَعَلْتُ ٱلْيَوْمَ قُدَّامَكَ ٱلْحَيَاةَ وَٱلْخَيْرَ، وَٱلْمَوْتَ وَٱلشَّرَّ،

See, today I have set before you life and good, and death and evil,

١٦ 16 بِمَا أَنِّي أَوْصَيْتُكَ ٱلْيَوْمَ أَنْ تُحِبَّ ٱلرَّبَّ إِلَهَكَ وَتَسْلُكَ فِي طُرُقِهِ وَتَحْفَظَ وَصَايَاهُ وَفَرَائِضَهُ وَأَحْكَامَهُ لِكَيْ تَحْيَا وَتَنْمُوَ، وَيُبَارِكَكَ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكَ فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ ٱلَّتِي أَنْتَ دَاخِلٌ إِلَيْهَا لِكَيْ تَمْتَلِكَهَا.

in that today I am commanding you to love your God YHWH, to walk in His ways, and to keep His commands, and His statutes, and His judgments; and you have lived and multiplied, and your God YHWH has blessed you in the land to where you are going in to possess it.

١٧ 17 فَإِنِ ٱنْصَرَفَ قَلْبُكَ وَلَمْ تَسْمَعْ، بَلْ غَوَيْتَ وَسَجَدْتَ لِآلِهَةٍ أُخْرَى وَعَبَدْتَهَا،

And if your heart turns, and you do not listen, and have been drawn away, and have bowed yourself to other gods and served them,

١٨ 18 فَإِنِّي أُنْبِئُكُمُ ٱلْيَوْمَ أَنَّكُمْ لَا مَحَالَةَ تَهْلِكُونَ. لَا تُطِيلُ ٱلْأَيَّامَ عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ ٱلَّتِي أَنْتَ عَابِرٌ ٱلْأُرْدُنَّ لِكَيْ تَدْخُلَهَا وَتَمْتَلِكَهَا.

I have declared to you this day that you certainly perish, you do not prolong days on the ground which you are passing over the Jordan to go in there to possess it.

١٩ 19 أُشْهِدُ عَلَيْكُمُ ٱلْيَوْمَ ٱلسَّمَاءَ وَٱلْأَرْضَ. قَدْ جَعَلْتُ قُدَّامَكَ ٱلْحَيَاةَ وَٱلْمَوْتَ. ٱلْبَرَكَةَ وَٱللَّعْنَةَ. فَٱخْتَرِ ٱلْحَيَاةَ لِكَيْ تَحْيَا أَنْتَ وَنَسْلُكَ،

I have caused the heavens and the earth to testify against you today—I have set before you life and death, the blessing and the reviling, and you have fixed on life, so that you live, you and your seed,

٢٠ 20 إِذْ تُحِبُّ ٱلرَّبَّ إِلَهَكَ وَتَسْمَعُ لِصَوْتِهِ وَتَلْتَصِقُ بِهِ، لِأَنَّهُ هُوَ حَيَاتُكَ وَٱلَّذِي يُطِيلُ أَيَّامَكَ لِكَيْ تَسْكُنَ عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ ٱلَّتِي حَلَفَ ٱلرَّبُّ لِآبَائِكَ إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَإِسْحَاقَ وَيَعْقُوبَ أَنْ يُعْطِيَهُمْ إِيَّاهَا.

to love your God YHWH, to listen to His voice, and to cleave to Him (for He [is] your life and the length of your days), to dwell on the ground which YHWH has sworn to your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give to them.”
