اَلتَّثْنِيَة 5

١ 1 وَدَعَا مُوسَى جَمِيعَ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «اِسْمَعْ يَا إِسْرَائِيلُ ٱلْفَرَائِضَ وَٱلْأَحْكَامَ ٱلَّتِي أَتَكَلَّمُ بِهَا فِي مَسَامِعِكُمُ ٱلْيَوْمَ، وَتَعَلَّمُوهَا وَٱحْتَرِزُوا لِتَعْمَلُوهَا.

And Moses called all Israel, and said unto them, Hear, O Israel, the statutes and the ordinances which I speak in your ears this day, that ye may learn them, and that ye may observe to do them.

٢ 2 اَلرَّبُّ إِلَهُنَا قَطَعَ مَعَنَا عَهْدًا فِي حُورِيبَ.

The Lord our God made a covenant with us in Horeb.

٣ 3 لَيْسَ مَعَ آبَائِنَا قَطَعَ ٱلرَّبُّ هَذَا ٱلْعَهْدَ، بَلْ مَعَنَا نَحْنُ ٱلَّذِينَ هُنَا ٱلْيَوْمَ جَمِيعُنَا أَحْيَاءٌ.

Not with our fathers did the Lord make this covenant, but with us, we who are here all of us alive this day.

٤ 4 وَجْهًا لِوَجْهٍ تَكَلَّمَ ٱلرَّبُّ مَعَنَا فِي ٱلْجَبَلِ مِنْ وَسَطِ ٱلنَّارِ.

Face to face did the Lord speak with you on the mount, out of the midst of the fire,

٥ 5 أَنَا كُنْتُ وَاقِفًا بَيْنَ ٱلرَّبِّ وَبَيْنَكُمْ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْوَقْتِ لِكَيْ أُخْبِرَكُمْ بِكَلَامِ ٱلرَّبِّ، لِأَنَّكُمْ خِفْتُمْ مِنْ أَجْلِ ٱلنَّارِ، وَلَمْ تَصْعَدُوا إِلَى ٱلْجَبَلِ. فَقَالَ:

(I was standing between the Lord and between you at that time, to announce to you the word of the Lord; for ye were afraid by reason of the fire, and ye went not up into the mount; ) saying,

٦ 6 أَنَا هُوَ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكَ ٱلَّذِي أَخْرَجَكَ مِنْ أَرْضِ مِصْرَ مِنْ بَيْتِ ٱلْعُبُودِيَّةِ.

I am the Lord thy God, who have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, from the house of slavery.

٧ 7 لَا يَكُنْ لَكَ آلِهَةٌ أُخْرَى أَمَامِي.

Thou shalt have no other gods before me.

٨ 8 لَا تَصْنَعْ لَكَ تِمْثَالًا مَنْحُوتًا صُورَةً مَّا مِمَّا فِي ٱلسَّمَاءِ مِنْ فَوْقُ وَمَا فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ مِنْ أَسْفَلُ وَمَا فِي ٱلْمَاءِ مِنْ تَحْتِ ٱلْأَرْضِ.

Thou shalt not make unto thyself any graven image, any likeness of any thing that is in the heavens above, or that is on the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth:

٩ 9 لَا تَسْجُدْ لَهُنَّ وَلَا تَعْبُدْهُنَّ، لِأَنِّي أَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكَ إِلَهٌ غَيُورٌ، أَفْتَقِدُ ذُنُوبَ ٱلْآبَاءِ فِي ٱلْأَبْنَاءِ وَفِي ٱلْجِيلِ ٱلثَّالِثِ وَٱلرَّابِعِ مِنَ ٱلَّذِينَ يُبْغِضُونَنِي،

Thou shalt not bow thyself down unto them, nor serve them; for I the Lord thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children, and upon the third and upon the fourth generation of them that hate me,

١٠ 10 وَأَصْنَعُ إِحْسَانًا إِلَى أُلُوفٍ مِنْ مُحِبِّيَّ وَحَافِظِي وَصَايَايَ.

And showing kindness unto the thousandth generation of them that love me, and keep my commandments.

١١ 11 لَا تَنْطِقْ بِٱسْمِ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِكَ بَاطِلًا، لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ لَا يُبْرِئُ مَنْ نَطَقَ بِٱسْمِهِ بَاطِلًا.

Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain; for the Lord will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.

١٢ 12 اِحْفَظْ يَوْمَ ٱلسَّبْتِ لِتُقَدِّسَهُ كَمَا أَوْصَاكَ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكَ.

Keep the sabbath-day to sanctify it, as the Lord thy God hath commanded thee.

١٣ 13 سِتَّةَ أَيَّامٍ تَشْتَغِلُ وَتَعْمَلُ جَمِيعَ أَعْمَالِكَ،

Six days shalt thou labor, and do all thy work;

١٤ 14 وَأَمَّا ٱلْيَوْمُ ٱلسَّابِعُ فَسَبْتٌ لِلرَّبِّ إِلَهِكَ، لَا تَعْمَلْ فِيهِ عَمَلًا مَّا أَنْتَ وَٱبْنُكَ وَٱبْنَتُكَ وَعَبْدُكَ وَأَمَتُكَ وَثَوْرُكَ وَحِمَارُكَ وَكُلُّ بَهَائِمِكَ، وَنَزِيلُكَ ٱلَّذِي فِي أَبْوَابِكَ لِكَيْ يَسْتَرِيحَ، عَبْدُكَ وَأَمَتُكَ مِثْلَكَ.

But the seventh day is the sabbath in honor of the Lord thy God; on it thou shalt not do any work, neither thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, nor thy man-servant, nor thy maid-servant, nor thy ox, nor thy ass, nor any of thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates: in order that thy man-servant and thy maid-servant may rest as well as thou.

١٥ 15 وَٱذْكُرْ أَنَّكَ كُنْتَ عَبْدًا فِي أَرْضِ مِصْرَ، فَأَخْرَجَكَ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكَ مِنْ هُنَاكَ بِيَدٍ شَدِيدَةٍ وَذِرَاعٍ مَمْدُودَةٍ. لِأَجْلِ ذَلِكَ أَوْصَاكَ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكَ أَنْ تَحْفَظَ يَوْمَ ٱلسَّبْتِ.

And thou shalt remember that thou hast been a servant in the land of Egypt, and that the Lord thy God brought thee out from there by a mighty hand and by an outstretched arm; therefore hath the Lord thy God commanded thee to observe the sabbath-day.

١٦ 16 أَكْرِمْ أَبَاكَ وَأُمَّكَ كَمَا أَوْصَاكَ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكَ، لِكَيْ تَطُولَ أَيَّامُكَ، وَلِكَيْ يَكُونَ لَكَ خَيْرٌ عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ ٱلَّتِي يُعْطِيكَ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكَ.

Honor thy father and thy mother, as the Lord thy God hath commanded thee: in order that thy days may be prolonged, and in order that it may go well with thee, in the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee.

١٧ 17 لَا تَقْتُلْ،

Thou shalt not kill.

١٨ 18 وَلَا تَزْنِ،

Neither shalt thou commit adultery.

١٩ 19 وَلَا تَسْرِقْ،

Neither shalt thou steal.

٢٠ 20 وَلَا تَشْهَدْ عَلَى قَرِيبِكَ شَهَادَةَ زُورٍ،

Neither shalt thou bear false witness against thy neighbor.

٢١ 21 وَلَا تَشْتَهِ ٱمْرَأَةَ قَرِيبِكَ، وَلَا تَشْتَهِ بَيْتَ قَرِيبِكَ وَلَا حَقْلَهُ وَلَا عَبْدَهُ وَلَا أَمَتَهُ وَلَا ثَوْرَهُ وَلَا حِمَارَهُ وَلَا كُلَّ مَا لِقَرِيبِكَ.

Neither shalt thou covet thy neighbor's wife. Neither shalt thou desire thy neighbor's house, nor his field, nor his man-servant, nor his maid-servant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor anything that is thy neighbor's.

٢٢ 22 هَذِهِ ٱلْكَلِمَاتُ كَلَّمَ بِهَا ٱلرَّبُّ كُلَّ جَمَاعَتِكُمْ فِي ٱلْجَبَلِ مِنْ وَسَطِ ٱلنَّارِ وَٱلسَّحَابِ وَٱلضَّبَابِ، وَصَوْتٍ عَظِيمٍ وَلَمْ يَزِدْ. وَكَتَبَهَا عَلَى لَوْحَيْنِ مِنْ حَجَرٍ وَأَعْطَانِي إِيَّاهَا.

These words did the Lord speak unto all your assembly on the mount out of the midst of the fire, of the cloud, and of the thick darkness, with a great voice, but he did so no more; and he wrote them on two tables of stone, and he gave them unto me.

٢٣ 23 «فَلَمَّا سَمِعْتُمُ ٱلصَّوْتَ مِنْ وَسَطِ ٱلظَّلَامِ، وَٱلْجَبَلُ يَشْتَعِلُ بِٱلنَّارِ، تَقَدَّمْتُمْ إِلَيَّ، جَمِيعُ رُؤَسَاءِ أَسْبَاطِكُمْ وَشُيُوخُكُمْ

And it came to pass, when ye heard the voice out of the midst of the darkness, while the mount was burning with fire, that ye came near unto me, even all the heads of your tribes, and your elders;

٢٤ 24 وَقُلْتُمْ: هُوَذَا ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُنَا قَدْ أَرَانَا مَجْدَهُ وَعَظَمَتَهُ، وَسَمِعْنَا صَوْتَهُ مِنْ وَسَطِ ٱلنَّارِ. هَذَا ٱلْيَوْمَ قَدْ رَأَيْنَا أَنَّ ٱللهَ يُكَلِّمُ ٱلْإِنْسَانَ وَيَحْيَا.

And ye said, Behold, the Lord our God hath caused us to see his glory and his greatness, and his voice have we heard out of the midst of the fire: this day have we seen that God can speak with man, who nevertheless may live.

٢٥ 25 وَأَمَّا ٱلْآنَ فَلِمَاذَا نَمُوتُ؟ لِأَنَّ هَذِهِ ٱلنَّارَ ٱلْعَظِيمَةَ تَأْكُلُنَا. إِنْ عُدْنَا نَسْمَعُ صَوْتَ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِنَا أَيْضًا نَمُوتُ.

But now why should we die? for this great fire may consume us; if we continue to hear the voice of the Lord our God any more, then shall we die.

٢٦ 26 لِأَنَّهُ مَنْ هُوَ مِنْ جَمِيعِ ٱلْبَشَرِ ٱلَّذِي سَمِعَ صَوْتَ ٱللهِ ٱلْحَيِّ يَتَكَلَّمُ مِنْ وَسَطِ ٱلنَّارِ مِثْلَنَا وَعَاشَ؟

For where is there any flesh, that hath heard the voice of the living God speaking out of the midst of the fire, like us, and hath remained alive?

٢٧ 27 تَقَدَّمْ أَنْتَ وَٱسْمَعْ كُلَّ مَا يَقُولُ لَكَ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُنَا، وَكَلِّمْنَا بِكُلِّ مَا يُكَلِّمُكَ بِهِ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُنَا، فَنَسْمَعَ وَنَعْمَلَ.

Do thou approach, and hear all that the Lord our God may say; and thou shalt speak unto us all that the Lord our God may speak unto thee; and we will hear and do it.

٢٨ 28 فَسَمِعَ ٱلرَّبُّ صَوْتَ كَلَامِكُمْ حِينَ كَلَّمْتُمُونِي وَقَالَ لِي ٱلرَّبُّ: سَمِعْتُ صَوْتَ كَلَامِ هَؤُلَاءِ ٱلشَّعْبِ ٱلَّذِي كَلَّمُوكَ بِهِ. قَدْ أَحْسَنُوا فِي كُلِّ مَا تَكَلَّمُوا.

And the Lord heard the voice of your words, while ye were speaking unto me; and the Lord said unto me, I have heard the voice of the words of this people, which they have spoken unto thee: they have done well in all that they have spoken.

٢٩ 29 يَا لَيْتَ قَلْبَهُمْ كَانَ هَكَذَا فِيهِمْ حَتَّى يَتَّقُونِي وَيَحْفَظُوا جَمِيعَ وَصَايَايَ كُلَّ ٱلْأَيَّامِ، لِكَيْ يَكُونَ لَهُمْ وَلِأَوْلَادِهِمْ خَيْرٌ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ.

Who would grant that this their heart might remain in them, to fear me, and to keep all my commandments at all times; in order that it might be well with them, and with their children for ever!

٣٠ 30 اِذْهَبْ قُلْ لَهُمْ: ٱرْجِعُوا إِلَى خِيَامِكُمْ.

Go, say to them, Return you unto your tents.

٣١ 31 وَأَمَّا أَنْتَ فَقِفْ هُنَا مَعِي فَأُكَلِّمَكَ بِجَمِيعِ ٱلْوَصَايَا وَٱلْفَرَائِضِ وَٱلْأَحْكَامِ ٱلَّتِي تُعَلِّمُهُمْ فَيَعْمَلُونَهَا فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ ٱلَّتِي أَنَا أُعْطِيهِمْ لِيَمْتَلِكُوهَا.

But as for thee, remain thou here by me, and I will speak unto thee all the commandments, and the statutes, and the ordinances, which thou shalt teach them, that they may do them in the land which I give them to possess it.

٣٢ 32 فَٱحْتَرِزُوا لِتَعْمَلُوا كَمَا أَمَرَكُمُ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكُمْ. لَا تَزِيغُوا يَمِينًا وَلَا يَسَارًا.

Observe ye then to do as the Lord your God hath commanded you: ye shall not turn aside to the right or to the left.

٣٣ 33 فِي جَمِيعِ ٱلطَّرِيقِ ٱلَّتِي أَوْصَاكُمْ بِهَا ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكُمْ تَسْلُكُونَ، لِكَيْ تَحْيَوْا وَيَكُونَ لَكُمْ خَيْرٌ وَتُطِيلُوا ٱلْأَيَّامَ فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ ٱلَّتِي تَمْتَلِكُونَهَا.

altogether in the way, which the Lord your God hath commanded you, shall ye walk; in order that ye may live, and that it may be well with you, and that ye may remain many days in the land which ye will possess.
