اَللَّاوِيِّينَ 26
| «لَا تَصْنَعُوا لَكُمْ أَوْثَانًا، وَلَا تُقِيمُوا لَكُمْ تِمْثَالًا مَنْحُوتًا أَوْ نَصَبًا، وَلَا تَجْعَلُوا فِي أَرْضِكُمْ حَجَرًا مُصَوَّرًا لِتَسْجُدُوا لَهُ. لِأَنِّي أَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكُمْ. | ١ 1 |
“Don't make yourselves idols anywhere in your land and bow down to worship them, whether they are images or sacred pillars or stone sculptures. For I am the Lord your God.
| سُبُوتِي تَحْفَظُونَ وَمَقْدِسِي تَهَابُونَ. أَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ. | ٢ 2 |
Keep my Sabbaths and show respect for my sanctuary. I am the Lord.
| «إِذَا سَلَكْتُمْ فِي فَرَائِضِي وَحَفِظْتُمْ وَصَايَايَ وَعَمِلْتُمْ بِهَا، | ٣ 3 |
If you follow my rules and keep my regulations,
| أُعْطِي مَطَرَكُمْ فِي حِينِهِ، وَتُعْطِي ٱلْأَرْضُ غَلَّتَهَا، وَتُعْطِي أَشْجَارُ ٱلْحَقْلِ أَثْمَارَهَا، | ٤ 4 |
I will make sure it rains at the right time so that the ground will grow good crops and the fruit trees will be productive.
| وَيَلْحَقُ دِرَاسُكُمْ بِٱلْقِطَافِ، وَيَلْحَقُ ٱلْقِطَافُ بِٱلزَّرْعِ، فَتَأْكُلُونَ خُبْزَكُمْ لِلشِّبَعِ وَتَسْكُنُونَ فِي أَرْضِكُمْ آمِنِينَ. | ٥ 5 |
Your time of threshing will last right up to the grape harvest, and the grape harvest until the time you have to sow again. You will have more than enough to eat and you will live in safety in your land.
| وَأَجْعَلُ سَلَامًا فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ، فَتَنَامُونَ وَلَيْسَ مَنْ يُزْعِجُكُمْ. وَأُبِيدُ ٱلْوُحُوشَ ٱلرَّدِيئَةَ مِنَ ٱلْأَرْضِ، وَلَا يَعْبُرُ سَيْفٌ فِي أَرْضِكُمْ. | ٦ 6 |
I will make sure your land is at peace. You will be able to sleep without being afraid of anything. I will get rid of dangerous animals from the land, and you will not suffer from any violent enemy attacks.
| وَتَطْرُدُونَ أَعْدَاءَكُمْ فَيَسْقُطُونَ أَمَامَكُمْ بِٱلسَّيْفِ. | ٧ 7 |
You will chase your enemies, and kill them with the sword.
| يَطْرُدُ خَمْسَةٌ مِنْكُمْ مِئَةً، وَمِئَةٌ مِنْكُمْ يَطْرُدُونَ رَبْوَةً، وَيَسْقُطُ أَعْدَاؤُكُمْ أَمَامَكُمْ بِٱلسَّيْفِ. | ٨ 8 |
Five of you will kill one hundred, and one hundred of you will kill ten thousand. You will destroy your enemies.
| وَأَلْتَفِتُ إِلَيْكُمْ وَأُثْمِرُكُمْ وَأُكَثِّرُكُمْ وَأَفِي مِيثَاقِي مَعَكُمْ، | ٩ 9 |
I will come to help you, so you will reproduce and increase in numbers, and I will confirm my agreement with you.
| فَتَأْكُلُونَ ٱلْعَتِيقَ ٱلْمُعَتَّقَ، وَتُخْرِجُونَ ٱلْعَتِيقَ مِنْ وَجْهِ ٱلْجَدِيدِ. | ١٠ 10 |
You'll still be eating your old stock of grain when you need to get rid of it so you can store the new grain.
| وَأَجْعَلُ مَسْكَنِي فِي وَسَطِكُمْ، وَلَا تَرْذُلُكُمْ نَفْسِي. | ١١ 11 |
I will come and live with you—I certainly won't reject you.
| وَأَسِيرُ بَيْنَكُمْ وَأَكُونُ لَكُمْ إِلَهًا وَأَنْتُمْ تَكُونُونَ لِي شَعْبًا. | ١٢ 12 |
I shall always be right there with you. I will be your God, and you will be my people.
| أَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكُمُ ٱلَّذِي أَخْرَجَكُمْ مِنْ أَرْضِ مِصْرَ مِنْ كَوْنِكُمْ لَهُمْ عَبِيدًا، وَقَطَّعَ قُيُودَ نِيرِكُمْ وَسَيَّرَكُمْ قِيَامًا. | ١٣ 13 |
I am the Lord your God, who led you out of Egypt so you wouldn't have to be slaves to the Egyptians any longer. I smashed the yoke that kept you bent down and helped you to stand up straight.
| «لَكِنْ إِنْ لَمْ تَسْمَعُوا لِي وَلَمْ تَعْمَلُوا كُلَّ هَذِهِ ٱلْوَصَايَا، | ١٤ 14 |
But if you don't pay attention to me and do what I tell you;
| وَإِنْ رَفَضْتُمْ فَرَائِضِي وَكَرِهَتْ أَنْفُسُكُمْ أَحْكَامِي، فَمَا عَمِلْتُمْ كُلَّ وَصَايَايَ، بَلْ نَكَثْتُمْ مِيثَاقِي، | ١٥ 15 |
if you reject my laws, hate my regulations, and refuse to follow my commandments, and consequently break my agreement,
| فَإِنِّي أَعْمَلُ هَذِهِ بِكُمْ: أُسَلِّطُ عَلَيْكُمْ رُعْبًا وَسِلًّا وَحُمَّى تُفْنِي ٱلْعَيْنَيْنِ وَتُتْلِفُ ٱلنَّفْسَ. وَتَزْرَعُونَ بَاطِلًا زَرْعَكُمْ فَيَأْكُلُهُ أَعْدَاؤُكُمْ. | ١٦ 16 |
then this is what I am going to do to you: I will make you panic, and suffer from diseases like tuberculosis and fever that make you blind and drain your life away. It will be pointless for you to sow seed in your fields because your enemies will eat the harvest.
| وَأَجْعَلُ وَجْهِي ضِدَّكُمْ فَتَنْهَزِمُونَ أَمَامَ أَعْدَائِكُمْ، وَيَتَسَلَّطُ عَلَيْكُمْ مُبْغِضُوكُمْ، وَتَهْرُبُونَ وَلَيْسَ مَنْ يَطْرُدُكُمْ. | ١٧ 17 |
I will turn against you, and you'll be defeated by your enemies. People who hate you will rule over you, and you'll run away even when there's no one chasing you!
| «وَإِنْ كُنْتُمْ مَعَ ذَلِكَ لَا تَسْمَعُونَ لِي، أَزِيدُ عَلَى تَأْدِيبِكُمْ سَبْعَةَ أَضْعَافٍ حَسَبَ خَطَايَاكُمْ، | ١٨ 18 |
If after all this you still refuse to obey me, I will move to punishing you seven times over for your sins.
| فَأُحَطِّمُ فَخَارَ عِزِّكُمْ، وَأُصَيِّرُ سَمَاءَكُمْ كَٱلْحَدِيدِ، وَأَرْضَكُمْ كَٱلنُّحَاسِ، | ١٩ 19 |
I will break your self-reliant strength you're so proud of, and make your sky hard as iron and your land hard as bronze.
| فَتُفْرَغُ بَاطِلًا قُوَّتُكُمْ، وَأَرْضُكُمْ لَا تُعْطِي غَلَّتَهَا، وَأَشْجَارُ ٱلْأَرْضِ لَا تُعْطِي أَثْمَارَهَا. | ٢٠ 20 |
Your strength will be completely wasted because your land won't produce crops, and your trees won't produce fruit.
| «وَإِنْ سَلَكْتُمْ مَعِي بِٱلْخِلَافِ، وَلَمْ تَشَاءُوا أَنْ تَسْمَعُوا لِي، أَزِيدُ عَلَيْكُمْ ضَرْبَاتٍ سَبْعَةَ أَضْعَافٍ حَسَبَ خَطَايَاكُمْ. | ٢١ 21 |
If you go on opposing me and refusing to do what I tell you, I will make your punishments seven times worse, based on your sins.
| أُطْلِقُ عَلَيْكُمْ وُحُوشَ ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ فَتُعْدِمُكُمُ ٱلْأَوْلَادَ، وَتَقْرِضُ بَهَائِمَكُمْ، وَتُقَلِّلُكُمْ فَتُوحَشُ طُرُقُكُمْ. | ٢٢ 22 |
I will send wild animals to kill your children, wipe out your livestock, and make you so few in number that there won't be anyone on your roads.
| «وَإِنْ لَمْ تَتَأَدَّبُوا مِنِّي بِذَلِكَ، بَلْ سَلَكْتُمْ مَعِي بِٱلْخِلَافِ، | ٢٣ 23 |
However, if in spite of all this correction you still don't change but go on opposing me,
| فَإِنِّي أَنَا أَسْلُكُ مَعَكُمْ بِٱلْخِلَافِ، وَأَضْرِبُكُمْ سَبْعَةَ أَضْعَافٍ حَسَبَ خَطَايَاكُمْ. | ٢٤ 24 |
then I will take action against you. I will punish you seven times over for your sins.
| أَجْلِبُ عَلَيْكُمْ سَيْفًا يَنْتَقِمُ نَقْمَةَ ٱلْمِيثَاقِ، فَتَجْتَمِعُونَ إِلَى مُدُنِكُمْ وَأُرْسِلُ فِي وَسَطِكُمُ ٱلْوَبَأَ فَتُدْفَعُونَ بِيَدِ ٱلْعَدُوِّ. | ٢٥ 25 |
I will send enemies with swords to attack you in retaliation for breaking the agreement. Even though you retreat into your towns for defense, I will plague you with disease, and you will be handed over to your enemies.
| بِكَسْرِي لَكُمْ عَصَا ٱلْخُبْزِ. تَخْبِزُ عَشَرُ نِسَاءٍ خُبْزَكُمْ فِي تَنُّورٍ وَاحِدٍ، وَيَرْدُدْنَ خُبْزَكُمْ بِٱلْوَزْنِ، فَتَأْكُلُونَ وَلَا تَشْبَعُونَ. | ٢٦ 26 |
I will send a famine so bread is in short supply. One oven will serve the needs of ten women baking bread. It will be distributed by weight so that you'll eat but won't have enough.
| «وَإِنْ كُنْتُمْ بِذَلِكَ لَا تَسْمَعُونَ لِي بَلْ سَلَكْتُمْ مَعِي بِٱلْخِلَافِ، | ٢٧ 27 |
However, if in spite of all this you don't obey me, but go on opposing me,
| فَأَنَا أَسْلُكُ مَعَكُمْ بِٱلْخِلَافِ سَاخِطًا، وَأُؤَدِّبُكُمْ سَبْعَةَ أَضْعَافٍ حَسَبَ خَطَايَاكُمْ، | ٢٨ 28 |
then I will take action against you in a rage of fury, and I will punish you myself seven times over for your sins.
| فَتَأْكُلُونَ لَحْمَ بَنِيكُمْ، وَلَحْمَ بَنَاتِكُمْ تَأْكُلُونَ. | ٢٩ 29 |
You will eat the bodies of your own sons and daughters.
| وَأُخْرِبُ مُرْتَفَعَاتِكُمْ، وَأَقْطَعُ شَمْسَاتِكُمْ، وَأُلْقِي جُثَثَكُمْ عَلَى جُثَثِ أَصْنَامِكُمْ، وَتَرْذُلُكُمْ نَفْسِي. | ٣٠ 30 |
I will destroy your high places of worship, smash your altars of incense, and pile up your dead bodies on what remains of your idols, which also have no life at all. I will really despise you.
| وَأُصَيِّرُ مُدُنَكُمْ خَرِبَةً، وَمَقَادِسَكُمْ مُوحِشَةً، وَلَا أَشْتَمُّ رَائِحَةَ سَرُورِكُمْ. | ٣١ 31 |
I will demolish your towns and destroy your pagan sanctuaries, and I will refuse to accept your sacrifices.
| وَأُوحِشُ ٱلْأَرْضَ فَيَسْتَوْحِشُ مِنْهَا أَعْدَاؤُكُمُ ٱلسَّاكِنُونَ فِيهَا. | ٣٢ 32 |
I will devastate your land myself, so that your enemies who come and live in it will be horrified at what has happened.
| وَأُذَرِّيكُمْ بَيْنَ ٱلْأُمَمِ، وَأُجَرِّدُ وَرَاءَكُمُ ٱلسَّيْفَ فَتَصِيرُ أَرْضُكُمْ مُوحَشَةً، وَمُدُنُكُمْ تَصِيرُ خَرِبَةً. | ٣٣ 33 |
I'm going to scatter you among the nations. You will be chased out by armies with swords as your land is ruined and your towns are destroyed.
| حِينَئِذٍ تَسْتَوْفِي ٱلْأَرْضُ سُبُوتَهَا كُلَّ أَيَّامِ وَحْشَتِهَا وَأَنْتُمْ فِي أَرْضِ أَعْدَائِكُمْ. حِينَئِذٍ تَسْبِتُ ٱلْأَرْضُ وَتَسْتَوْفِي سُبُوتَهَا. | ٣٤ 34 |
At least then the land will be able to enjoy its Sabbaths all the time it's abandoned while you are in exile in the land of your enemies. The land will finally be able to rest and enjoy its Sabbaths.
| كُلَّ أَيَّامِ وَحْشَتِهَا تَسْبِتُ مَا لَمْ تَسْبِتْهُ مِنْ سُبُوتِكُمْ فِي سَكَنِكُمْ عَلَيْهَا. | ٣٥ 35 |
The whole time it's abandoned the land will observe the Sabbaths of rest that it wasn't able to do while you were living there.
| وَٱلْبَاقُونَ مِنْكُمْ أُلْقِي ٱلْجَبَانَةَ فِي قُلُوبِهِمْ فِي أَرَاضِي أَعْدَائِهِمْ، فَيَهْزِمُهُمْ صَوْتُ وَرَقَةٍ مُنْدَفِعَةٍ، فَيَهْرُبُونَ كَٱلْهَرَبِ مِنَ ٱلسَّيْفِ، وَيَسْقُطُونَ وَلَيْسَ طَارِدٌ. | ٣٦ 36 |
I will make those of you who survive so discouraged that as you live in the lands of your enemies even the sound of a leaf blowing in the wind will scare you into running away! You'll run away like you're being chased by someone with a sword, and fall down even though no one is after you.
| وَيَعْثُرُ بَعْضُهُمْ بِبَعْضٍ كَمَا مِنْ أَمَامِ ٱلسَّيْفِ وَلَيْسَ طَارِدٌ، وَلَا يَكُونُ لَكُمْ قِيَامٌ أَمَامَ أَعْدَائِكُمْ، | ٣٧ 37 |
You'll trip over each other as you run away from the attack, then though no one's there. You'll have no power to resist your enemies.
| فَتَهْلِكُونَ بَيْنَ ٱلشُّعُوبِ وَتَأْكُلُكُمْ أَرْضُ أَعْدَائِكُمْ. | ٣٨ 38 |
You'll die in exile and you'll be buried in a foreign country.
| وَٱلْبَاقُونَ مِنْكُمْ يَفْنَوْنَ بِذُنُوبِهِمْ فِي أَرَاضِي أَعْدَائِكُمْ. وَأَيْضًا بِذُنُوبِ آبَائِهِمْ مَعَهُمْ يَفْنَوْنَ. | ٣٩ 39 |
Those of you who do manage to survive in the countries of your enemies will wither away because of their guilt, decaying as they share the sins of their fathers.
| لَكِنْ إِنْ أَقَرُّوا بِذُنُوبِهِمْ وَذُنُوبِ آبَائِهِمْ فِي خِيَانَتِهِمِ ٱلَّتِي خَانُونِي بِهَا، وَسُلُوكِهِمْ مَعِيَ ٱلَّذِي سَلَكُوا بِٱلْخِلَافِ، | ٤٠ 40 |
They need to confess their sins and those of their fathers, acting in such an unfaithful way towards me, opposing me.
| وَإِنِّي أَيْضًا سَلَكْتُ مَعَهُمْ بِٱلْخِلَافِ وَأَتَيْتُ بِهِمْ إِلَى أَرْضِ أَعْدَائِهِمْ. إِلَّا أَنْ تَخْضَعَ حِينَئِذٍ قُلُوبُهُمُ ٱلْغُلْفُ، وَيَسْتَوْفُوا حِينَئِذٍ عَنْ ذُنُوبِهِمْ، | ٤١ 41 |
Because of this I took action against them and exiled them in the countries of their enemies. However, if they humbly give up their stubborn attitude and accept their punishment for their sins,
| أَذْكُرُ مِيثَاقِي مَعَ يَعْقُوبَ، وَأَذْكُرُ أَيْضًا مِيثَاقِي مَعَ إِسْحَاقَ، وَمِيثَاقِي مَعَ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، وَأَذْكُرُ ٱلْأَرْضَ. | ٤٢ 42 |
then I will fulfill the agreement I made with Jacob, Isaac, and Abraham, and I will not forget my promise about the land.
| وَٱلْأَرْضُ تُتْرَكُ مِنْهُمْ وَتَسْتَوْفِي سُبُوتَهَا فِي وَحْشَتِهَا مِنْهُمْ، وَهُمْ يَسْتَوْفُونَ عَنْ ذُنُوبِهِمْ لِأَنَّهُمْ قَدْ أَبَوْا أَحْكَامِي وَكَرِهَتْ أَنْفُسُهُمْ فَرَائِضِي. | ٤٣ 43 |
For the land will be left empty by them, and it will enjoy its Sabbaths being abandoned. They will pay for their sins, because they rejected my rules and regulations.
| وَلَكِنْ مَعَ ذَلِكَ أَيْضًا مَتَى كَانُوا فِي أَرْضِ أَعْدَائِهِمْ، مَا أَبَيْتُهُمْ وَلَا كَرِهْتُهُمْ حَتَّى أُبِيدَهُمْ وَأَنْكُثَ مِيثَاقِي مَعَهُمْ، لِأَنِّي أَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُهُمْ. | ٤٤ 44 |
But despite all this, even while they are living in land of their enemies, I will not reject or hate them so much as to destroy them and break my agreement with them, because I am the Lord their God.
| بَلْ أَذْكُرُ لَهُمْ ٱلْمِيثَاقَ مَعَ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ ٱلَّذِينَ أَخْرَجْتُهُمْ مِنْ أَرْضِ مِصْرَ أَمَامَ أَعْيُنِ ٱلشُّعُوبِ لِأَكُونَ لَهُمْ إِلَهًا. أَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ». | ٤٥ 45 |
Because of them I will renew the agreement I made with their fathers, those I led out of Egypt as the other nations watched, in order that I might be their God. I am the Lord.”
| هَذِهِ هِيَ ٱلْفَرَائِضُ وَٱلْأَحْكَامُ وَٱلشَّرَائِعُ ٱلَّتِي وَضَعَهَا ٱلرَّبُّ بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ فِي جَبَلِ سِينَاءَ بِيَدِ مُوسَى. | ٤٦ 46 |
These are the rules, regulations, and laws that the Lord set up between himself and the Israelites through Moses on Mount Sinai.
