تَثنِيَة 5

١ 1 وَاسْتَدْعَى مُوسَى جَمِيعَ الإِسْرَائِيلِيِّينَ وَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «اسْمَعُوا يَا بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ الشَّرَائِعَ وَالأَحْكَامَ الَّتِي أَتْلُوهَا عَلَيْكُمْ فِي هَذَا الْيَوْمِ، وَتَعَلَّمُوهَا وَاحْرِصُوا عَلَى مُمَارَسَتِهَا.

Moses called to all Israel, and said to them, “Hear, Israel, the statutes and the ordinances which I speak in your ears today, that you may learn them, and observe to do them.”

٢ 2 قَطَعَ الرَّبُّ إِلَهُنَا مَعَنَا عَهْداً فِي جَبَلِ حُورِيبَ.

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

٣ 3 لَيْسَ مَعَ آبَائِنَا قَطَعَ هَذَا الْعَهْدَ، إِنَّمَا مَعَنَا نَحْنُ الَّذِينَ هُنَا الْيَوْمَ جَمِيعاً أَحْيَاءُ،

The LORD didn’t make this covenant with our fathers, but with us, even us, who are all of us here alive today.

٤ 4 إِذْ تَكَلَّمَ الرَّبُّ مَعَنَا فِي الْجَبَلِ مِنْ وَسَطِ النَّارِ وَجْهاً لِوَجْهٍ.

The LORD spoke with you face to face on the mountain out of the middle of the fire,

٥ 5 وَكُنْتُ أَنَا وَاقِفاً بَيْنَ الرَّبِّ وَبَيْنَكُمْ، لأَنَّكُمْ خِفْتُمْ مِنَ النَّارَ، فَلَمْ تَصْعَدُوا إِلَى الْجَبَلِ. فَقَالَ الرَّبُّ:

(I stood between the LORD and you at that time, to show you the LORD’s word; for you were afraid because of the fire, and didn’t go up onto the mountain) saying,

٦ 6 أَنَا هُوَ الرَّبُّ إِلَهُكَ الَّذِي حَرَّرَكَ مِنْ سِجْنِ الْعُبُودِيَّةِ فِي دِيَارِ مِصْرَ.

“I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.

٧ 7 لَا يَكُنْ لَكَ آلِهَةٌ أُخْرَى أَمَامِي.

“You shall have no other gods before me.

٨ 8 لَا تَنْحَتْ لَكَ تِمْثَالاً، وَلا صُورَةً مَا مِمَّا فِي السَّمَاءِ وَمَا فِي الأَرْضِ وَمَا فِي الْمَاءِ تَحْتَ الأَرْضِ.

“You shall not make a carved image for yourself—any likeness of what is in heaven above, or what is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth.

٩ 9 لَا تَسْجُدْ لَهَا وَلا تَعْبُدْهَا، لأَنِّي أَنَا الرَّبُّ إِلَهُكَ إِلَهٌ غَيُورٌ، أَفْتَقِدُ مَعَاصِيَ الآبَاءِ فِي الأَبْنَاءِ حَتَّى الْجِيلِ الثَّالِثِ وَالرَّابِعِ مِنْ مُبْغِضِيَّ.

You shall not bow yourself down to them, nor serve them, for I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children and on the third and on the fourth generation of those who hate me

١٠ 10 وَأُحْسِنُ إِلَى أُلُوفٍ مِنْ مُحِبِّيَّ وَطَائِعِي وَصَايَايَ.

and showing loving kindness to thousands of those who love me and keep my commandments.

١١ 11 لَا تَنْطِقْ بِاسْمِ الرَّبِّ إِلَهِكَ بَاطِلاً، لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ لَا يُبْرِئُ مَنْ يَنْطِقُ بِاسْمِهِ بَاطِلاً.

“You shall not misuse the name of the LORD your God; for the LORD will not hold him guiltless who misuses his name.

١٢ 12 احْفَظْ يَوْمَ السَّبْتِ مُقَدَّساً كَمَا أَوْصَاكَ الرَّبُّ إِلَهُكَ.

“Observe the Sabbath day, to keep it holy, as the LORD your God commanded you.

١٣ 13 سِتَّةَ أَيَّامٍ تَشْتَغِلُ وَتَقُومُ بِجَمِيعِ أَعْمَالِكَ،

You shall labor six days, and do all your work;

١٤ 14 وَأَمَّا الْيَوْمُ السَّابِعُ فَيَكُونُ يَوْمَ رَاحَةٍ لِلرَّبِّ إِلَهِكَ، لَا تَقُومُ فِيهِ بِأَيِّ عَمَلٍ أَنْتَ وَابْنُكَ وَابْنَتُكَ وَعَبْدُكَ وَأَمَتُكَ وَثَوْرُكَ وَحِمَارُكَ وَكُلُّ بَهَائِمِكَ، وَالأَجْنَبِيُّ الْمُقِيمُ دَاخِلَ أَبْوَابِكَ، لِيَسْتَرِيحَ عَبْدُكَ وَأَمَتُكَ مِثْلَكَ.

but the seventh day is a Sabbath to the LORD your God, in which you shall not do any work—neither you, nor your son, nor your daughter, nor your male servant, nor your female servant, nor your ox, nor your donkey, nor any of your livestock, nor your stranger who is within your gates; that your male servant and your female servant may rest as well as you.

١٥ 15 وَتَذَكَّرْ أَنَّكَ كُنْتَ عَبْداً فِي دِيَارِ مِصْرَ، فَأَطْلَقَكَ الرَّبُّ مِنْ هُنَاكَ بِقُدْرَةٍ فَائِقَةٍ وَقُوَّةٍ شَدِيدَةٍ، لِهَذَا أَوْصَاكَ الرَّبُّ إِلَهُكَ أَنْ تَرْتَاحَ فِي يَوْمِ السَّبْتِ.

You shall remember that you were a servant in the land of Egypt, and the LORD your God brought you out of there by a mighty hand and by an outstretched arm. Therefore the LORD your God commanded you to keep the Sabbath day.

١٦ 16 أَكْرِمْ أَبَاكَ وَأُمَّكَ كَمَا أَمَرَكَ الرَّبُّ إِلَهُكَ، فَتَطُولَ أَيَّامُكَ وَيَكُونَ لَكَ خَيْرٌ عَلَى الأَرْضِ الَّتِي يُوَرِّثُهَا لَكَ الرَّبُّ إِلَهُكَ.

“Honor your father and your mother, as the LORD your God commanded you, that your days may be long and that it may go well with you in the land which the LORD your God gives you.

١٧ 17 لَا تَقْتُلْ.

“You shall not murder.

١٨ 18 لَا تَزْنِ.

“You shall not commit adultery.

١٩ 19 لَا تَسْرِقْ.

“You shall not steal.

٢٠ 20 لَا تَشْهَدْ عَلَى جَارِكَ شَهَادَةَ زُورٍ.

“You shall not give false testimony against your neighbor.

٢١ 21 لَا تَشْتَهِ امْرَأَةَ غَيْرِكَ وَلا بَيْتَهُ وَلا حَقْلَهُ وَلا عَبْدَهُ وَلا أَمَتَهُ وَلا ثَوْرَهُ وَلا حِمَارَهُ وَلا أَيَّاً مِمَّا لَهُ.

“You shall not covet your neighbor’s wife. Neither shall you desire your neighbor’s house, his field, or his male servant, or his female servant, his ox, or his donkey, or anything that is your neighbor’s.”

٢٢ 22 إِنَّ الرَّبَّ قَدْ أَعْلَنَ بِصَوْتٍ عَظِيمٍ هَذِهِ الْكَلِمَاتِ لِكُلِّ جَمَاعَتِكُمْ فِي الْجَبَلِ مِنْ وَسَطِ النَّارِ وَالسَّحَابِ وَلَمْ يَزِدْ. وَنَقَشَهَا عَلَى لَوْحَيْنِ مِنْ حَجَرٍ وَأَعْطَانِي إِيَّاهَا.

The LORD spoke these words to all your assembly on the mountain out of the middle of the fire, of the cloud, and of the thick darkness, with a great voice. He added no more. He wrote them on two stone tablets, and gave them to me.

٢٣ 23 فَلَمَّا سَمِعْتُمُ الصَّوْتَ مِنْ وَسَطِ الظَّلامِ، وَالْجَبَلُ يَشْتَعِلُ بِالنَّارِ، أَقْبَلَ عَلَيَّ جَمِيعُ قَادَةِ أَسْبَاطِكُمْ وَشُيُوخِكُمْ،

When you heard the voice out of the middle of the darkness, while the mountain was burning with fire, you came near to me, even all the heads of your tribes, and your elders;

٢٤ 24 وَقَالُوا: قَدْ أَظْهَرَ الرَّبُّ لَنَا مَجْدَهُ وَعَظَمَتَهُ، وَسَمِعْنَا صَوْتَهُ مِنْ وَسَطِ النَّارِ، وَرَأَيْنَا فِي هَذَا الْيَوْمِ أَنَّ اللهَ يُخَاطِبُ الإِنْسَانَ فَلا يَمُوتُ.

and you said, “Behold, the LORD our God has shown us his glory and his greatness, and we have heard his voice out of the middle of the fire. We have seen today that God does speak with man, and he lives.

٢٥ 25 وَلَكِنِ الآنَ، إِنْ عُدْنَا نَسْمَعُ صَوْتَ الرَّبِّ إِلَهِنَا فَإِنَّ هَذِهِ النَّارَ الْعَظِيمَةَ تَلْتَهِمُنَا. فَلِمَاذَا نَمُوتُ؟

Now therefore, why should we die? For this great fire will consume us. If we hear the LORD our God’s voice any more, then we shall die.

٢٦ 26 إِذْ أَيُّ بَشَرِيٍّ سَمِعَ صَوْتَ اللهِ الْحَيِّ يَتَكَلَّمُ مِنْ وَسَطِ النَّارِ مِثْلَنَا وَعَاشَ؟

For who is there of all flesh who has heard the voice of the living God speaking out of the middle of the fire, as we have, and lived?

٢٧ 27 فَتَقَدَّمْ أَنْتَ وَاسْتَمِعْ كُلَّ مَا يَنْطِقُ بِهِ الرَّبُّ إِلَهُنَا، وَخَاطِبْنَا بِجَمِيعِ مَا يُكَلِّمُكَ بِهِ، فَنَسْتَمِعَ وَنُطِيعَ.

Go near, and hear all that the LORD our God shall say, and tell us all that the LORD our God tells you; and we will hear it, and do it.”

٢٨ 28 فَسَمِعَ الرَّبُّ حَدِيثَكُمْ حِينَ كَلَّمْتُمُونِي، وَقَالَ لِي: لَقَدْ سَمِعْتُ حَدِيثَ الشَّعْبِ الَّذِي كَلَّمُوكَ بِهِ. وَقَدْ أَحْسَنُوا فِي كُلِّ مَا قَالُوهُ.

The LORD heard the voice of your words when you spoke to me; and the LORD said to me, “I have heard the voice of the words of this people which they have spoken to you. They have well said all that they have spoken.

٢٩ 29 يَا لَيْتَ قَلْبَهُمْ يَظَلُّ مُتَعَلِّقاً بِي حَتَّى يَتَّقُونِي وَيُطِيعُوا جَمِيعَ وَصَايَايَ دَائِماً، لِكَيْ يَتَمَتَّعُوا هُمْ وَأَوْلادُهُمْ بِالْخَيْرِ إِلَى الأَبَدِ.

Oh that there were such a heart in them that they would fear me and keep all my commandments always, that it might be well with them and with their children forever!

٣٠ 30 اذْهَبْ وَقُلْ لَهُمْ: ارْجِعُوا إِلَى خِيَامِكُمْ.

“Go tell them, ‘Return to your tents.’

٣١ 31 وَأَمَّا أَنْتَ فَامْثُلْ هُنَا أَمَامِي، فَأُكَلِّمَكَ بِجَمِيعِ الْوَصَايَا وَالشَّرَائِعِ وَالأَحْكَامِ لِتُعَلِّمَهَا لَهُمْ فَيَعْمَلُوا بِها فِي الأَرْضِ الَّتِي وَهَبْتُهَا لَهُمْ لِيَمْتَلِكُوهَا.

But as for you, stand here by me, and I will tell you all the commandments, and the statutes, and the ordinances, which you shall teach them, that they may do them in the land which I give them to possess.”

٣٢ 32 فَاحْرِصُوا عَلَى الْعَمَلِ بِكُلِّ مَا أَمَرَكُمْ بِهِ الرَّبُّ إِلَهُكُمْ، لَا تَحِيدُوا يَمِيناً أَوْ شِمَالاً.

You shall observe to do therefore as the LORD your God has commanded you. You shall not turn away to the right hand or to the left.

٣٣ 33 وَاسْلُكُوا فِي كُلِّ الطَّرِيقِ الَّتِي أَوْصَاكُمْ بِها الرَّبُّ لِتَحْيَوْا وَتَزْدَهِرُوا وَتَمْكُثُوا طَوِيلاً فِي الأَرْضِ الَّتِي تَرِثُونَهَا.

You shall walk in all the way which the LORD your God has commanded you, that you may live and that it may be well with you, and that you may prolong your days in the land which you shall possess.
