< تَثنِيَة 31 >

وَمَضَى مُوسَى يَقُولُ لِبَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ: ١ 1
When Moses had finished speaking these words to all Israel,
«أَنَا الْيَوْمَ قَدْ بَلَغْتُ مِنَ الْعُمْرِ مِئَةً وَعِشْرِينَ سَنَةً، وَصِرْتُ عَاجِزاً عَنْ قِيَادَتِكُمْ. وَقَدْ قَالَ الرَّبُّ لِي: لَنْ تَعْبُرَ هَذَا الأُرْدُنَّ. ٢ 2
he said to them, “I am now a hundred and twenty years old; I am no longer able to come and go, and the LORD has said to me, ‘You shall not cross the Jordan.’
وَلَكِنَّ الرَّبَّ إِلَهَكُمْ عَابِرٌ أَمَامَكُمْ، وَهُوَ يُبِيدُ تِلْكَ الأُمَمَ مِنْ قُدَّامِكُمْ فَتَرِثُونَهُمْ. وَسَيَكُونُ يَشُوعُ قَائِدَكُمْ كَمَا وَعَدَ الرَّبُّ. ٣ 3
The LORD your God Himself will cross over ahead of you. He will destroy these nations before you, and you will dispossess them. Joshua will cross ahead of you, as the LORD has said.
سَيَصْنَعُ الرَّبُّ بِهِمْ كَمَا صَنَعَ بِسِيحُونَ وَعُوجَ مَلِكَيِ الأَمُورِيِّينَ وَبِأَرْضِهِمَا وَأَبَادَهُمَا. ٤ 4
And the LORD will do to them as He did to Sihon and Og, the kings of the Amorites, when He destroyed them along with their land.
فَمَتَى أَخْضَعَهُمُ الرَّبُّ لَكُمْ فَافْعَلُوا بِهِمْ بِمُوْجِبِ جَمِيعِ الْوَصَايَا الَّتِي أَمَرْتُكُمْ بِها. ٥ 5
The LORD will deliver them over to you, and you must do to them exactly as I have commanded you.
تَقَوَّوْا وَتَشَجَّعُوا. لَا تَخْشَوْهُمْ وَلا تَجْزَعُوا مِنْهُمْ، لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ إِلَهَكُمْ سَائِرٌ مَعَكُمْ، لَا يُهْمِلُكُمْ وَلا يَتْرُكُكُمْ». ٦ 6
Be strong and courageous; do not be afraid or terrified of them, for it is the LORD your God who goes with you; He will never leave you nor forsake you.”
فَاسْتَدْعَى مُوسَى يَشُوعَ وَقَالَ لَهُ أَمَامَ جَمِيعِ إِسْرَائِيلَ: «تَقَوَّ وَتَشَجَّعْ، لأَنَّكَ أَنْتَ مَاضٍ مَعَ هَذَا الشَّعْبِ إِلَى الأَرْضِ الَّتِي حَلَفَ الرَّبُّ لِآبَائِهِمْ أَنْ يَهَبَهَا لَهُمْ، وَأَنْتَ تُوَزِّعُهَا عَلَيْهِمْ. ٧ 7
Then Moses called for Joshua and said to him in the presence of all Israel, “Be strong and courageous, for you will go with this people into the land that the LORD swore to their fathers to give them, and you shall give it to them as an inheritance.
هُوَذَا الرَّبُّ يَتَقَدَّمُكَ، هُوَ يَكُونُ مَعَكَ، لَا يُهْمِلُكَ وَلا يَتْرُكُكَ. لِذَلِكَ لَا تَخَفْ وَلا تَرْتَعِبْ». ٨ 8
The LORD Himself goes before you; He will be with you. He will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid or discouraged.”
وَكَتَبَ مُوسَى كَلِمَاتِ هَذِهِ التَّوْرَاةِ وَسَلَّمَهَا لِلْكَهَنَةِ بَنِي لاوِي حَامِلِي تَابُوتِ عَهْدِ الرَّبِّ وَإِلَى سَائِرِ شُيُوخِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ. ٩ 9
So Moses wrote down this law and gave it to the priests, the sons of Levi, who carried the ark of the covenant of the LORD, and to all the elders of Israel.
وَأَمَرَهُمْ مُوسَى قَائِلاً: «فِي خِتَامِ السَّبْعِ السَّنَوَاتِ، فِي مِيعَادِ سَنَةِ الإِبْرَاءِ مِنَ الدُّيُونِ، فِي عِيدِ الْمَظَالِّ ١٠ 10
Then Moses commanded them, “At the end of every seven years, at the appointed time in the year of remission of debt, during the Feast of Tabernacles,
عِنْدَمَا يَجْتَمِعُ جَمِيعُ الإِسْرَائِيلِيِّينَ لِلْعِبَادَةِ أَمَامَ الرَّبِّ إِلَهِكُمْ فِي الْمَوْضِعِ الَّذِي يَخْتَارُهُ، تَتْلُونَ نُصُوصَ هَذِهِ التَّوْرَاةِ فِي مَسَامِعِهِمْ. ١١ 11
when all Israel comes before the LORD your God at the place He will choose, you are to read this law in the hearing of all Israel.
اجْمَعُوا الشَّعْبَ رِجَالاً وَنِسَاءً وَأَطْفَالاً، وَالْغُرَبَاءَ الْمُقِيمِينَ فِي مُدُنِكُمْ لِيَسْمَعُوا وَيَتَعَلَّمُوا تَقْوَى الرَّبِّ إِلَهِكُمْ، وَيَحْرِصُوا عَلَى الْعَمَلِ بِجَمِيعِ نُصُوصِ هَذِهِ التَّوْرَاةِ. ١٢ 12
Assemble the people—men, women, children, and the foreigners within your gates—so that they may listen and learn to fear the LORD your God and to follow carefully all the words of this law.
وَكَذَلِكَ لِيَسْمَعَ أَوْلادُهُمُ الشَّرِيعَةَ الَّتِي لَمْ يَعْرِفُوهَا، لِيَتَعَلَّمُوا تَقْوَى الرَّبِّ إِلَهِكُمْ طَوَالَ الأَيَّامِ الَّتِي يَعِيشُونَهَا عَلَى الأَرْضِ الَّتِي أَنْتُمْ عَابِرُونَ نَهْرَ الأُرْدُنِّ إِلَيْهَا لِتَرِثُوهَا». ١٣ 13
Then their children who do not know the law will listen and learn to fear the LORD your God, as long as you live in the land that you are crossing the Jordan to possess.”
وَكَانَ الرَّبُّ قَدْ قَالَ لِمُوسَى: «هَا أَنْتَ قَدْ أَوْشَكْتَ عَلَى الْمَوْتِ، وَأَيَّامُ حَيَاتِكَ بَاتَتْ مَعْدُودَةً. فَادْعُ يَشُوعَ، وَقِفَا كِلاكُمَا عِنْدَ خَيْمَةِ الاجْتِمَاعِ لِكَيْ أُوصِيَهُ». فَمَضَى مُوسَى وَيَشُوعُ وَمَثَلا عِنْدَ خَيْمَةِ الاجْتِمَاعِ. ١٤ 14
Then the LORD said to Moses, “Behold, the time of your death is near. Call Joshua and present yourselves at the Tent of Meeting, so that I may commission him.” So Moses and Joshua went and presented themselves at the Tent of Meeting.
فَتَجَلَّى الرَّبُّ فِي الْخَيْمَةِ، فِي سَحَابَةٍ. وَوَقَفَتِ السَّحَابَةُ عِنْدَ بَابِ الْخَيْمَةِ. ١٥ 15
Then the LORD appeared at the tent in a pillar of cloud, and the cloud stood over the entrance to the tent.
وَقَالَ الرَّبُّ لِمُوسَى: «مَا إِنْ تَمُوتُ وَتَلْحَقُ بِآبَائِكَ حَتَّى يُسْرِعَ هَذَا الشَّعْبُ وَيَفْجُرَ وَرَاءَ آلِهَةِ الْغُرَبَاءِ الْمُقِيمِينَ فِي الأَرْضِ الَّتِي هُوَ دَاخِلٌ إِلَيْهَا فِي وَسَطِهِمْ، وَيَتَخَلَّى عَنِّي وَيَنْكُثَ عَهْدِي الَّذِي أَبْرَمْتُهُ مَعَهُ، ١٦ 16
And the LORD said to Moses, “You will soon rest with your fathers, and these people will rise up and prostitute themselves with the foreign gods of the land they are entering. They will forsake Me and break the covenant I have made with them.
فَيَحْتَدِمُ غَضَبِي عَلَيْهِ فِي ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ، وَأَنْبِذُهُ وَأَحْجُبُ وَجْهِي عَنْهُ، فَيَكُونُ فَرِيسَةً. وَتَلْحَقُ بِهِ شُرُورٌ كَثِيرَةٌ وَمَصَائِبُ، حَتَّى يَقُولَ: أَلَيْسَ لأَنَّ إِلَهِي قَدْ هَجَرَنِي، قَدْ أَصَابَتْنِي هَذِهِ الشُّرُورُ؟ ١٧ 17
On that day My anger will burn against them, and I will abandon them and hide My face from them, so that they will be consumed, and many troubles and afflictions will befall them. On that day they will say, ‘Have not these disasters come upon us because our God is no longer with us?’
وَأَحْجُبُ وَجْهِي عَنْهُمْ مِنْ أَجْلِ جَمِيعِ مَا ارْتَكَبُوهُ مِنْ شُرُورٍ، إِذْ سَعَوْا وَرَاءَ آلِهَةٍ أُخْرَى. ١٨ 18
And on that day I will surely hide My face because of all the evil they have done by turning to other gods.
فَالآنَ دَوِّنُوا لأَنْفُسِكُمْ هَذَا النَّشِيدَ وَعَلِّمُوهُ لِبَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ. ضَعُوهُ فِي أَفْوَاهِهِمْ لِيَكُونَ هَذَا النَّشِيدُ شَهَادَةً عَلَيْهِمْ. ١٩ 19
Now therefore, write down for yourselves this song and teach it to the Israelites; have them recite it, so that it may be a witness for Me against them.
لأَنِّي حَالَمَا أُدْخِلُهُمْ إِلَى الأَرْضِ الَّتِي تَفِيضُ لَبَناً وَعَسَلاً، هَذِهِ الأَرْضِ الَّتِي حَلَفْتُ أَنْ تَكُونَ لِآبَائِهِمْ، فَيَأْكُلُونَ وَيَشْبَعُونَ وَيَسْمَنُونَ، فَإِنَّهُمْ يَسْعَوْنَ وَرَاءَ آلِهَةٍ أُخْرَى وَيَعْبُدُونَهَا وَيَزْدَرُونَ بِي نَاقِضِينَ عَهْدِي. ٢٠ 20
When I have brought them into the land that I swore to give their fathers, a land flowing with milk and honey, they will eat their fill and prosper. Then they will turn to other gods and worship them, and they will reject Me and break My covenant.
فَمَتَى حَلَّتْ بِهِمْ شُرُورٌ كَثِيرَةٌ وَمَصَائِبُ جَمَّةٌ، يَشْهَدُ هَذَا النَّشِيدُ عَلَيْهِمْ، لأَنَّهُ سَيَظَلُّ يَتَرَدَّدُ عَلَى أَفْوَاهِ ذُرِّيَّتِهِمْ، إِذْ إِنَّنِي عَالِمٌ بِخَوَاطِرِهِمِ الَّتِي تَدُورُ بِخَلَدِهِمِ الآنَ قَبْلَ أَنْ أُدْخِلَهُمْ إِلَى الأَرْضِ كَمَا حَلَفْتُ». ٢١ 21
And when many troubles and afflictions have come upon them, this song will testify against them, because it will not be forgotten from the lips of their descendants. For I know their inclination, even before I bring them into the land that I swore to give them.”
فَكَتَبَ مُوسَى هَذَا النَّشِيدَ فِي ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ، وَعَلَّمَهُ لِبَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ. ٢٢ 22
So that very day Moses wrote down this song and taught it to the Israelites.
وَأَوْصَى الرَّبُّ يَشُوعَ بْنَ نُونَ قَائِلاً: «تَقَوَّ وَتَشَجَّعْ، لأَنَّكَ أَنْتَ تُدْخِلُ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ إِلَى الأَرْضِ الَّتِي أَقْسَمْتُ لَهُمْ عَلَيْهَا، وَأَنَا أَكُونُ مَعَكَ». ٢٣ 23
Then the LORD commissioned Joshua son of Nun and said, “Be strong and courageous, for you will bring the Israelites into the land that I swore to give them, and I will be with you.”
وَعِنْدَمَا أَتَمَّ مُوسَى تَدْوِينَ نُصُوصِ هَذِهِ التَّوْرَاةِ كَامِلَةً فِي كِتَابٍ، ٢٤ 24
When Moses had finished writing in a book the words of this law from beginning to end,
أَمَرَ اللّاوِيِّينَ حَامِلِي تَابُوتِ عَهْدِ الرَّبِّ قَائِلاً: ٢٥ 25
he gave this command to the Levites who carried the ark of the covenant of the LORD:
«خُذُوا كِتَابَ التَّوْرَاةِ هَذَا وَضَعُوهُ إِلَى جِوَارِ تَابُوتِ عَهْدِ الرَّبِّ إِلَهِكُمْ، لِيَكُونَ هُنَاكَ شَاهِداً عَلَيْكُمْ، ٢٦ 26
“Take this Book of the Law and place it beside the ark of the covenant of the LORD your God, so that it may remain there as a witness against you.
لأَنِّي أَعْرِفُ تَمَرُّدَكُمْ وَقَسَاوَةَ قُلُوبِكُمْ. إِذْ وَأَنَا مَازِلْتُ حَيًّا مَعَكُمُ الْيَوْمَ أَخَذْتُمْ فِي مُقَاوَمَةِ الرَّبِّ. فَكَمْ بِالأَحْرَى تَتَمَرَّدُونَ بَعْدَ مَوْتِي؟ ٢٧ 27
For I know how rebellious and stiff-necked you are. If you are already rebelling against the LORD while I am still alive, how much more will you rebel after my death!
اِجْمَعُوا إِلَيَّ جَمِيعَ شُيُوخِ أَسْبَاطِكُمْ وَعُرَفَاءَكُمْ، لأَتْلُوَ عَلَى مَسَامِعِهِمْ هَذِهِ الْكَلِمَاتِ، وَأُشْهِدَ عَلَيْهِمِ السَّمَاءَ وَالأَرْضَ. ٢٨ 28
Assemble before me all the elders of your tribes and all your officers so that I may speak these words in their hearing and call heaven and earth to witness against them.
لأَنَّنِي وَاثِقٌ أَنَّكُمْ بَعْدَ مَوْتِي تَفْسَدُونَ وَتَضِلُّونَ عَنِ الطَّرِيقِ الَّتِي أَوْصَيْتُكُمْ بِها، فَيُصِيبُكُمُ الشَّرُّ فِي آخِرِ الأَيَّامِ، لأَنَّكُمْ تَقْتَرِفُونَ الشَّرَّ أَمَامَ الرَّبِّ حَتَّى تُثِيرُوا غَيْظَهُ بِمَا تَجْنِيهِ أَيْدِيكُمْ.» ٢٩ 29
For I know that after my death you will become utterly corrupt and turn from the path I have commanded you. And in the days to come, disaster will befall you because you will do evil in the sight of the LORD to provoke Him to anger by the work of your hands.”
فَتَلا مُوسَى فِي مَسَامِعِ كُلِّ جَمَاعَةِ إِسْرَائِيلَ كُلَّ كَلِمَاتِ أَبْيَاتِ هَذَا النَّشِيدِ. ٣٠ 30
Then Moses recited aloud to the whole assembly of Israel the words of this song from beginning to end:
