اَلتَّثْنِيَة 6

١ 1 «وَهَذِهِ هِيَ ٱلْوَصَايَا وَٱلْفَرَائِضُ وَٱلْأَحْكَامُ ٱلَّتِي أَمَرَ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكُمْ أَنْ أُعَلِّمَكُمْ لِتَعْمَلُوهَا فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ ٱلَّتِي أَنْتُمْ عَابِرُونَ إِلَيْهَا لِتَمْتَلِكُوهَا،

Now this is the commandment, the statutes, and the judgments, which the LORD your God commanded to teach you, that ye might do them in the land whither ye go over to possess it:

٢ 2 لِكَيْ تَتَّقِيَ ٱلرَّبَّ إِلَهَكَ وَتَحْفَظَ جَمِيعَ فَرَائِضِهِ وَوَصَايَاهُ ٱلَّتِي أَنَا أُوصِيكَ بِهَا، أَنْتَ وَٱبْنُكَ وَٱبْنُ ٱبْنِكَ كُلَّ أَيَّامِ حَيَاتِكَ، وَلِكَيْ تَطُولَ أَيَّامُكَ.

that thou mightest fear the LORD thy God, to keep all his statutes and his commandments, which I command thee, thou, and thy son, and thy son’s son, all the days of thy life; and that thy days may be prolonged.

٣ 3 فَٱسْمَعْ يَا إِسْرَائِيلُ وَٱحْتَرِزْ لِتَعْمَلَ، لِكَيْ يَكُونَ لَكَ خَيْرٌ وَتَكْثُرَ جِدًّا، كَمَا كَلَّمَكَ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُ آبَائِكَ فِي أَرْضٍ تَفِيضُ لَبَنًا وَعَسَلًا.

Hear therefore, O Israel, and observe to do it; that it may be well with thee, and that ye may increase mightily, as the LORD, the God of thy fathers, hath promised unto thee, in a land flowing with milk and honey.

٤ 4 «اِسْمَعْ يَا إِسْرَائِيلُ: ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُنَا رَبٌّ وَاحِدٌ.

Hear, O Israel: the LORD our God is one LORD:

٥ 5 فَتُحِبُّ ٱلرَّبَّ إِلَهَكَ مِنْ كُلِّ قَلْبِكَ وَمِنْ كُلِّ نَفْسِكَ وَمِنْ كُلِّ قُوَّتِكَ.

and thou shalt love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might.

٦ 6 وَلْتَكُنْ هَذِهِ ٱلْكَلِمَاتُ ٱلَّتِي أَنَا أُوصِيكَ بِهَا ٱلْيَوْمَ عَلَى قَلْبِكَ،

And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be upon thine heart:

٧ 7 وَقُصَّهَا عَلَى أَوْلَادِكَ، وَتَكَلَّمْ بِهَا حِينَ تَجْلِسُ فِي بَيْتِكَ، وَحِينَ تَمْشِي فِي ٱلطَّرِيقِ، وَحِينَ تَنَامُ وَحِينَ تَقُومُ،

and thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up.

٨ 8 وَٱرْبُطْهَا عَلَامَةً عَلَى يَدِكَ، وَلْتَكُنْ عَصَائِبَ بَيْنَ عَيْنَيْكَ،

And thou shalt bind them for a sign upon thine hand, and they shall be for frontlets between thine eyes.

٩ 9 وَٱكْتُبْهَا عَلَى قَوَائِمِ أَبْوَابِ بَيْتِكَ وَعَلَى أَبْوَابِكَ.

And thou shalt write them upon the door posts of thy house, and upon thy gates.

١٠ 10 «وَمَتَى أَتَى بِكَ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكَ إِلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ ٱلَّتِي حَلَفَ لِآبَائِكَ إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَإِسْحَاقَ وَيَعْقُوبَ أَنْ يُعْطِيَكَ، إِلَى مُدُنٍ عَظِيمَةٍ جَيِّدَةٍ لَمْ تَبْنِهَا،

And it shall be, when the LORD thy God shall bring thee into the land which he sware unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give thee; great and goodly cities, which thou buildedst not,

١١ 11 وَبُيُوتٍ مَمْلُوءَةٍ كُلَّ خَيْرٍ لَمْ تَمْلَأْهَا، وَأَبَآرٍ مَحْفُورَةٍ لَمْ تَحْفِرْهَا، وَكُرُومٍ وَزَيْتُونٍ لَمْ تَغْرِسْهَا، وَأَكَلْتَ وَشَبِعْتَ،

and houses full of all good things, which thou filledst not, and cisterns hewn out, which thou hewedst not, vineyards and olive trees, which thou plantedst not, and thou shalt eat and be full;

١٢ 12 فَٱحْتَرِزْ لِئَلَّا تَنْسَى ٱلرَّبَّ ٱلَّذِي أَخْرَجَكَ مِنْ أَرْضِ مِصْرَ مِنْ بَيْتِ ٱلْعُبُودِيَّةِ.

then beware lest thou forget the LORD, which brought thee forth out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.

١٣ 13 ٱلرَّبَّ إِلَهَكَ تَتَّقِي، وَإِيَّاهُ تَعْبُدُ، وَبِٱسْمِهِ تَحْلِفُ.

Thou shalt fear the LORD thy God; and him shalt thou serve, and shalt swear by his name.

١٤ 14 لَا تَسِيرُوا وَرَاءَ آلِهَةٍ أُخْرَى مِنْ آلِهَةِ ٱلْأُمَمِ ٱلَّتِي حَوْلَكُمْ،

Ye shall not go after other gods, of the gods of the peoples which are round about you;

١٥ 15 لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ إِلَهَكُمْ إِلَهٌ غَيُورٌ فِي وَسَطِكُمْ، لِئَلَّا يَحْمَى غَضَبُ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِكُمْ عَلَيْكُمْ فَيُبِيدَكُمْ عَنْ وَجْهِ ٱلْأَرْضِ.

for the LORD thy God in the midst of thee is a jealous God; lest the anger of the LORD thy God be kindled against thee, and he destroy thee from off the face of the earth.

١٦ 16 لَا تُجَرِّبُوا ٱلرَّبَّ إِلَهَكُمْ كَمَا جَرَّبْتُمُوهُ فِي مَسَّةَ.

Ye shall not tempt the LORD your God, as ye tempted him in Massah.

١٧ 17 ٱحْفَظُوا وَصَايَا ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِكُمْ وَشَهَادَاتِهِ وَفَرَائِضِهِ ٱلَّتِي أَوْصَاكُمْ بِهَا.

Ye shall diligently keep the commandments of the LORD your God, and his testimonies, and his statutes, which he hath commanded thee.

١٨ 18 وَٱعْمَلِ ٱلصَّالِحَ وَٱلْحَسَنَ فِي عَيْنَيِ ٱلرَّبِّ، لِكَيْ يَكُونَ لَكَ خَيْرٌ، وَتَدْخُلَ وَتَمْتَلِكَ ٱلْأَرْضَ ٱلْجَيِّدَةَ ٱلَّتِي حَلَفَ ٱلرَّبُّ لِآبَائِكَ

And thou shalt do that which is right and good in the sight of the LORD: that it may be well with thee, and that thou mayest go in and possess the good land which the LORD sware unto thy fathers,

١٩ 19 أَنْ يَنْفِيَ جَمِيعَ أَعْدَائِكَ مِنْ أَمَامِكَ. كَمَا تَكَلَّمَ ٱلرَّبُّ.

to thrust out all thine enemies from before thee, as the LORD hath spoken.

٢٠ 20 «إِذَا سَأَلَكَ ٱبْنُكَ غَدًا قَائِلًا: مَا هِيَ ٱلشَّهَادَاتُ وَٱلْفَرَائِضُ وَٱلْأَحْكَامُ ٱلَّتِي أَوْصَاكُمْ بِهَا ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُنَا؟

When thy son asketh thee in time to come, saying, What mean the testimonies, and the statutes, and the judgments, which the LORD our God hath commanded you?

٢١ 21 تَقُولُ لِٱبْنِكَ: كُنَّا عَبِيدًا لِفِرْعَوْنَ فِي مِصْرَ، فَأَخْرَجَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ مِنْ مِصْرَ بِيَدٍ شَدِيدَةٍ.

then thou shalt say unto thy son, We were Pharaoh’s bondmen in Egypt; and the LORD brought us out of Egypt with a mighty hand:

٢٢ 22 وَصَنَعَ ٱلرَّبُّ آيَاتٍ وَعَجَائِبَ عَظِيمَةً وَرَدِيئَةً بِمِصْرَ، بِفِرْعَوْنَ وَجَمِيعِ بَيْتِهِ أَمَامَ أَعْيُنِنَا

and the LORD shewed signs and wonders, great and sore, upon Egypt, upon Pharaoh, and upon all his house, before our eyes:

٢٣ 23 وَأَخْرَجَنَا مِنْ هُنَاكَ لِكَيْ يَأْتِيَ بِنَا وَيُعْطِيَنَا ٱلْأَرْضَ ٱلَّتِي حَلَفَ لِآبَائِنَا.

and he brought us out from thence, that he might bring us in, to give us the land which he sware unto our fathers.

٢٤ 24 فَأَمَرَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ أَنْ نَعْمَلَ جَمِيعَ هَذِهِ ٱلْفَرَائِضَ وَنَتَّقِيَ ٱلرَّبَّ إِلَهَنَا، لِيَكُونَ لَنَا خَيْرٌ كُلَّ ٱلْأَيَّامِ، وَيَسْتَبْقِيَنَا كَمَا فِي هَذَا ٱلْيَوْمِ.

And the LORD commanded us to do all these statutes, to fear the LORD our God, for our good always, that he might preserve us alive, as at this day.

٢٥ 25 وَإِنَّهُ يَكُونُ لَنَا بِرٌّ إِذَا حَفِظْنَا جَمِيعَ هَذِهِ ٱلْوَصَايَا لِنَعْمَلَهَا أَمَامَ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِنَا كَمَا أَوْصَانَا.

And it shall be righteousness unto us, if we observe to do all this commandment before the LORD our God, as he hath commanded us.
