تَثنِيَة 6

١ 1 وَهَذِهِ هِيَ الْوَصَايَا وَالْفَرَائِضُ وَالأَحْكَامُ الَّتِي أَمَرَنِي الرَّبُّ إِلَهُكُمْ أَنْ أُلَقِّنَكُمْ إِيَّاهَا، لِتَعْمَلُوا بِها فِي الأَرْضِ الَّتِي أَنْتُمْ مَاضُونَ إِلَيْهَا لِتَرِثُوهَا.

Now these are the commandments, the statutes, and the ordinances, which the LORD your God commanded to teach you, that you might do them in the land that you go over to possess;

٢ 2 وَبِذَلِكَ تَتَّقِي الرَّبَّ إِلَهَكَ وَتُمَارِسُ جَمِيعَ فَرَائِضِهِ وَوَصَايَاهُ الَّتِي أَنَا أُوصِيكَ بِها أَنْتَ وَابْنُكَ وَحَفِيدُكَ كُلَّ أَيَّامِ حَيَاتِكَ فَتَطُولُ أَيَّامُكَ.

that you might fear the LORD your God, to keep all his statutes and his commandments, which I command you—you, your son, and your son’s son, all the days of your life; and that your days may be prolonged.

٣ 3 فَأَنْصِتُوا يَا بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ وَاحْرِصُوا عَلَى الْعَمَلِ بِها فَتَزْدَهِرُوا وَتَتَكَاثَرُوا جِدّاً فِي أَرْضٍ تَفِيضُ لَبَناً وَعَسَلاً، كَمَا وَعَدَكُمُ الرَّبُّ إِلَهُ آبَائِكُمْ.

Hear therefore, Israel, and observe to do it, that it may be well with you, and that you may increase mightily, as the LORD, the God of your fathers, has promised to you, in a land flowing with milk and honey.

٤ 4 اسْمَعُوا يَا بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ: الرَّبُّ إِلَهُنَا رَبٌّ وَاحِدٌ،

Hear, Israel: the LORD is our God. The LORD is one.

٥ 5 فَأَحِبُّوا الرَّبَّ إِلَهَكُمْ مِنْ كُلِّ قُلُوبِكُمْ وَنُفُوسِكُمْ وَقوَّتِكُمْ.

You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your might.

٦ 6 وَضَعُوا هَذِهِ الْكَلِمَاتِ الَّتِي أُوصِيكُمْ بِها عَلَى قُلُوبِكُمْ،

These words, which I command you today, shall be on your heart;

٧ 7 وَقُصُّوهَا عَلَى أَوْلادِكُمْ، وَتَحَدَّثُوا بِها حِينَ تَجْلِسُونَ فِي بُيُوتِكُمْ، وَحِينَ تَسِيرُونَ فِي الطَّرِيقِ، وَحِينَ تَنَامُونَ، وَحِينَ تَنْهَضُونَ.

and you shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, and when you walk by the way, and when you lie down, and when you rise up.

٨ 8 ارْبُطُوهَا عَلامَةً عَلَى أَيْدِيكُمْ، وَاجْعَلُوهَا عَصَائِبَ عَلَى جِبَاهِكُمْ.

You shall bind them for a sign on your hand, and they shall be for frontlets between your eyes.

٩ 9 اكْتُبُوهَا عَلَى قَوَائِمِ أَبْوَابِ بُيُوتِكُمْ وَبَوَّابَاتِ مُدُنِكُمْ.

You shall write them on the door posts of your house and on your gates.

١٠ 10 وَمَتَى أَدْخَلَكُمُ الرَّبُّ إِلَهُكُمْ إِلَى الأَرْضِ الَّتِي أَقْسَمَ لِآبَائِكُمْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَإِسْحَاقَ وَيَعْقُوبَ أَنْ يَهَبَهَا لَكُمْ، حَيْثُ تَنْتَشِرُ مُدُنٌ عَظِيمَةٌ لَمْ تَبْنُوهَا،

It shall be, when the LORD your God brings you into the land which he swore to your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give you, great and goodly cities which you didn’t build,

١١ 11 وَبُيُوتٌ عَامِرَةٌ بِخَيْرَاتٍ لَمْ تَخْزِنُوهَا، وَآبَارٌ مَحْفُورَةٌ لَمْ تَحْفُرُوهَا، وَأَشْجَارُ كُرُومٍ وَزَيْتُونٍ لَمْ تَغْرِسُوهَا، فَأَكَلْتُمْ وَشَبِعْتُمْ،

and houses full of all good things which you didn’t fill, and cisterns dug out which you didn’t dig, vineyards and olive trees which you didn’t plant, and you shall eat and be full;

١٢ 12 فَإِيَّاكُمْ أَنْ تَنْسَوْا الرَّبَّ إِلَهَكُمُ الَّذِي أَطْلَقَكُمْ مِنْ عُبُودِيَّةِ دِيَارِ مِصْرَ.

then beware lest you forget the LORD, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.

١٣ 13 فَالرَّبَّ إِلَهَكُمْ تَتَّقُونَ، وَإِيَّاهُ تَعْبُدُونَ، وَبِاسْمِهِ تَحْلِفُونَ.

You shall fear the LORD your God; and you shall serve him, and shall swear by his name.

١٤ 14 لَا تَسِيرُوا خَلْفَ آلِهَةٍ أُخْرَى مِنْ آلِهَةِ الأُمَمِ الْمُحِيطَةِ بِكُمْ،

You shall not go after other gods, of the gods of the peoples who are around you,

١٥ 15 لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ إِلَهَكُمْ إِلَهٌ غَيُورٌ حَالٌّ فِي وَسَطِكُمْ، فَيَحْتَدِمَ غَضَبُهُ عَلَيْكُمْ وَيُبِيدَكُمْ عَنْ وَجْهِ الأَرْضِ.

for the LORD your God amongst you is a jealous God, lest the anger of the LORD your God be kindled against you, and he destroy you from off the face of the earth.

١٦ 16 لَا تَمْتَحِنُوا صَبْرَ الرَّبِّ إِلَهِكُمْ، كَمَا امْتَحَنْتُمُوهُ فِي مَسَّةَ.

You shall not tempt the LORD your God, as you tempted him in Massah.

١٧ 17 بَلِ احْفَظُوا وَصَايَا الرَّبِّ وَشُرُوطَهُ وَأَحْكَامَهُ الَّتِي أَمَرَكُمْ بِها،

You shall diligently keep the commandments of the LORD your God, and his testimonies, and his statutes, which he has commanded you.

١٨ 18 وَاصْنَعُوا مَا هُوَ صَالِحٌ وَمَرْضِيٌّ لَدَى الرَّبِّ لِتَزْدَهِرُوا وَتَدْخُلُوا وَتَرِثُوا الأَرْضَ الَّتِي أَقْسَمَ الرَّبُّ لِآبَائِكُمْ،

You shall do that which is right and good in the LORD’s sight, that it may be well with you and that you may go in and possess the good land which the LORD swore to your fathers,

١٩ 19 أَنْ يَطْرُدَ جَمِيعَ أَعْدَائِكُمْ مِنْ أَمَامِكُمْ.

to thrust out all your enemies from before you, as the LORD has spoken.

٢٠ 20 وَإذَا سَأَلَكُمْ أَبْنَاؤُكُمْ فِي مُسْتَقْبَلِ الأَيَّامِ: مَا هِيَ الشُّرُوطُ وَالْفَرَائِضُ وَالأَحْكَامُ الَّتِي أَمَرَكُمْ بِها الرَّبُّ إِلَهُنَا؟

When your son asks you in time to come, saying, “What do the testimonies, the statutes, and the ordinances, which the LORD our God has commanded you mean?”

٢١ 21 تُجِيبُونَهُمْ: لَقَدْ كُنَّا عَبِيداً لِفِرْعَوْنَ فِي مِصْرَ، فَأَخْرَجَنَا الرَّبُّ بِقُوَّةٍ فَائِقَةٍ،

then you shall tell your son, “We were Pharaoh’s slaves in Egypt. The LORD brought us out of Egypt with a mighty hand;

٢٢ 22 وَأَجْرَى الرَّبُّ آيَاتٍ وَعَجَائِبَ عَظِيمَةً وَمُهْلِكَةً بِمِصْرَ عَلَى فِرْعَوْنَ وَجَمِيعِ أَهْلِ بَيْتِهِ عَلَى مَرْأَى مِنَّا.

and the LORD showed great and awesome signs and wonders on Egypt, on Pharaoh, and on all his house, before our eyes;

٢٣ 23 ثُمَّ أَخْرَجَنَا مِنْ هُنَاكَ لِيَأْتِيَ بِنَا وَيُوَرِّثَنَا الأَرْضَ الَّتِي أَقْسَمَ لِآبَائِنَا أَنْ يَهَبَهَا لَنَا.

and he brought us out from there, that he might bring us in, to give us the land which he swore to our fathers.

٢٤ 24 فَأَمَرَنَا الرَّبُّ أَنْ نُمَارِسَ جَمِيعَ هَذِهِ الْفَرَائِضِ وَنَتَّقِيَهُ لِنَزْدَهِرَ دَائِماً وَنَظَلَّ أَحْيَاءَ كَمَا فِي هَذَا الْيَوْمِ.

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 we are today.

٢٥ 25 وَإذَا أَطَعْنَا جَمِيعَ هَذِهِ الْوَصَايَا بِحِرْصٍ لِنُمَارِسَهَا أَمَامَ الرَّبِّ إِلَهِنَا كَمَا أَمَرَنَا، يَكُونُ لَنَا بِرٌّ.

It shall be righteousness to us, if we observe to do all these commandments before the LORD our God, as he has commanded us.”
