< Deuteronomy 28 >

1 “Now if you faithfully obey the voice of the LORD your God and are careful to follow all His commandments I am giving you today, the LORD your God will set you high above all the nations of the earth.
وَإِنْ أَطَعْتُمْ صَوْتَ الرَّبِّ طَاعَةً تَامَّةً، حِرْصاً مِنْكُمْ عَلَى تَنْفِيذِ جَمِيعِ وَصَايَاهُ الَّتِي أُوصِيكُمْ بِها الْيَوْمَ، فَإِنَّ الرَّبَّ إِلَهَكُمْ يَجْعَلُكُمْ أَسْمَى مِنْ جَمِيعِ أُمَمِ الأَرْضِ.١
2 And all these blessings will come upon you and overtake you, if you will obey the voice of the LORD your God:
وَإذَا سَمِعْتُمْ لِصَوْتِ الرَّبِّ إِلَهِكُمْ فَإِنَّ جَمِيعَ هَذِهِ الْبَرَكَاتِ تَنْسَكِبُ عَلَيْكُمْ وَتُلازِمُكُمْ.٢
3 You will be blessed in the city and blessed in the country.
تَكُونُونَ مُبَارَكِينَ فِي الْمَدِينَةِ وَمُبَارَكِينَ فِي الْحُقُولِ.٣
4 The fruit of your womb will be blessed, as well as the produce of your land and the offspring of your livestock— the calves of your herds and the lambs of your flocks.
كَمَا تَتَبَارَكُ ذُرِّيَّتُكُمْ، وَغَلّاتُ أَرْضِكُمْ، وَنِتَاجُ بَهَائِمِكُمْ وَبَقَرِكُمْ وَنِعَاجِكُمْ.٤
5 Your basket and kneading bowl will be blessed.
وَتَتَبَارَكُ أَيْضاً فَوَاكِهُ سِلالِكُمْ وَخُبْزُ مَعَاجِنِكُمْ.٥
6 You will be blessed when you come in and blessed when you go out.
وَتَكُونُونَ مُبَارَكِينَ فِي دُخُولِكُمْ وَخُرُوجِكُمْ٦
7 The LORD will cause the enemies who rise up against you to be defeated before you. They will march out against you in one direction but flee from you in seven.
وَيَهْزِمُ الرَّبُّ أَمَامَكُمْ أَعْدَاءَكُمُ الْقَائِمِينَ عَلَيْكُمْ، فَيُقْبِلُونَ عَلَيْكُمْ فِي طَرِيقٍ وَاحِدَةٍ، وَلَكِنَّهُمْ يُوَلُّونَ الأَدْبَارَ أَمَامَكُمْ فِي سَبْعِ طُرُقٍ.٧
8 The LORD will decree a blessing on your barns and on everything to which you put your hand; the LORD your God will bless you in the land He is giving you.
يَأْمُرُ الرَّبُّ لَكُمْ بِالْبَرَكَةِ، فَتَمْتَلِئُ خَزَائِنُكُمْ. وَيُبَارِكُ كُلَّ مَا تُنْتِجُهُ أَيْدِيكُمْ وَغَلّاتِ أَرْضِكُمُ الَّتِي يَهَبُهَا لَكُمْ.٨
9 The LORD will establish you as His holy people, just as He has sworn to you, if you keep the commandments of the LORD your God and walk in His ways.
وَإذَا حَفِظْتُمْ وَصَايَاهُ وَسَلَكْتُمْ فِي سُبُلِهِ فَإِنَّهُ يَجْعَلُكُمْ لِنَفْسِهِ شَعْباً مُقَدَّساً كَمَا حَلَفَ لَكُمْ،٩
10 Then all the peoples of the earth will see that you are called by the name of the LORD, and they will stand in awe of you.
فَتُدْرِكُ جَمِيعُ شُعُوبِ الأَرْضِ أَنَّ اسْمَ الرَّبِّ قَدْ حَلَّ عَلَيْكُمْ، وَيَخَافُونَكُمْ.١٠
11 The LORD will make you prosper abundantly—in the fruit of your womb, the offspring of your livestock, and the produce of your land—in the land that the LORD swore to your fathers to give you.
وَيَزِيدُكُمُ الرَّبُّ وَفْرَةً فَيُكَثِّرُ مِنْ أَبْنَائِكُمْ وَنِتَاجِ بَهَائِمِكُمْ وَمِنْ غَلّاتِ أَرْضِكُمُ الَّتِي حَلَفَ لِآبَائِكُمْ أَنْ يَهَبَهَا لَكُمْ.١١
12 The LORD will open the heavens, His abundant storehouse, to send rain on your land in season and to bless all the work of your hands. You will lend to many nations, but borrow from none.
وَيَفْتَحُ لَكُمُ الرَّبُّ كُنُوزَ سَمَائِهِ الصَّالِحَةَ، فَيُمْطِرُ عَلَى أَرْضِكُمْ فِي مَوَاسِمِهَا، وَيُبَارِكُ كُلَّ مَا تُنْتِجُهُ أَيْدِيكُمْ، فَتُقْرِضُونَ أُمَماً كَثِيرَةً وَأَنْتُمْ لَا تَقْتَرِضُونَ.١٢
13 The LORD will make you the head and not the tail; you will only move upward and never downward, if you hear and carefully follow the commandments of the LORD your God, which I am giving you today.
وَإذَا أَطَعْتُمْ وَصَايَا الرَّبِّ الَّتِي أَنَا آمُرُكُمْ بِها الْيَوْمَ لِتَحْفَظُوهَا وَتَعْمَلُوا بِها، فَإِنَّهُ يَجْعَلُكُمْ رُؤُوساً لَا أَذْنَاباً، مُتَسَامِينَ دَائِماً، وَلا يُدْرِكُكُمُ انْحِطَاطٌ أَبَداً.١٣
14 Do not turn aside to the right or to the left from any of the words I command you today, and do not go after other gods to serve them.
لَا تَنْحَرِفُوا يَمِيناً أَوْ شِمَالاً عَنْ جَمِيعِ هَذِهِ الشَّرَائِعِ الَّتِي أَنَا أُوصِيكُمْ بِها الْيَوْمَ، لِكَيْ لَا تَغْوُوا وَرَاءَ آلِهَةٍ أُخْرَى لِتَعْبُدُوهَا.١٤
15 If, however, you do not obey the LORD your God by carefully following all His commandments and statutes I am giving you today, all these curses will come upon you and overtake you:
وَلَكِنْ إِنْ عَصَيْتُمْ صَوْتَ الرَّبِّ إِلَهِكُمْ وَلَمْ تَحْرِصُوا عَلَى الْعَمَلِ بِجَمِيعِ وَصَايَاهُ وَفَرَائِضِهِ الَّتِي أَنَا آمُرُكُمُ الْيَوْمَ بِها، فَإِنَّ جَمِيعَ هَذِهِ اللَّعْنَاتِ تَحِلُّ بِكُمْ وَتُلازِمُكُمْ.١٥
16 You will be cursed in the city and cursed in the country.
تَكُونُونَ مَلْعُونِينَ فِي الْمَدِينَةِ وَمَلْعُونِينَ فِي الْحُقُولِ.١٦
17 Your basket and kneading bowl will be cursed.
وَتَكُونُ سِلالُكُمْ وَمَعَاجِنُكُمْ مَلْعُونَةً.١٧
18 The fruit of your womb will be cursed, as well as the produce of your land, the calves of your herds, and the lambs of your flocks.
وَتَحِلُّ اللَّعْنَةُ بِأَبْنَائِكُمْ وَغَلّاتِ أَرْضِكُمْ وَنِتَاجِ بَقَرِكُمْ وَنِعَاجِكُمْ،١٨
19 You will be cursed when you come in and cursed when you go out.
وَتَكُونُونَ مَلْعُونِينَ فِي ذِهَابِكُمْ وَإِيَابِكُمْ،١٩
20 The LORD will send curses upon you, confusion and reproof in all to which you put your hand, until you are destroyed and quickly perish because of the wickedness you have committed in forsaking Him.
وَيَصُبُّ الرَّبُّ عَلَيْكُمُ اللَّعْنَةَ وَالْفَوْضَى وَالْفَشَلَ فِي كُلِّ مَا تُنْتِجُهُ أَيْدِيكُمْ، حَتَّى تَهْلِكُوا وَتَفْنَوْا سَرِيعاً لِسُوءِ أَفْعَالِكُمْ، إِذْ تَرَكْتُمُونِي.٢٠
21 The LORD will make the plague cling to you until He has exterminated you from the land that you are entering to possess.
وَيَتَفَشَّى بَيْنَكُمُ الْوَبَاءُ حَتَّى يُبِيدَكُمْ عَنِ الأَرْضِ الَّتِي أَنْتُمْ مَاضُونَ إِلَيْهَا لامْتِلاكِهَا،٢١
22 The LORD will strike you with wasting disease, with fever and inflammation, with scorching heat and drought, and with blight and mildew; these will pursue you until you perish.
وَيَضْرِبُكُمُ الرَّبُّ بِالسُّلِّ وَالْحُمَّى وَالرَّعْشَةِ وَالالْتِهَابِ وَالْجَفَافِ وَاللَّفْحِ وَالذُّبُولِ، فَتُلازِمُكُمْ حَتَّى تَفْنَوْا.٢٢
23 The sky over your head will be bronze, and the earth beneath you iron.
وَتُصْبِحُ السَّمَاءُ الَّتِي فَوْقَكُمْ كَالنُّحَاسِ وَالأَرْضُ تَحْتَكُمْ كَالْحَدِيدِ.٢٣
24 The LORD will turn the rain of your land into dust and powder; it will descend on you from the sky until you are destroyed.
وَيُحَوِّلُ الرَّبُّ مَطَرَ أَرْضِكُمْ إِلَى غُبَارٍ وَعَوَاصِفَ تُرَابِيَّةٍ تَنْهَمِرُ عَلَيْكُمْ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ حَتَّى تَهْلِكُوا.٢٤
25 The LORD will cause you to be defeated before your enemies. You will march out against them in one direction but flee from them in seven. You will be an object of horror to all the kingdoms of the earth.
وَيَهْزِمُكُمُ الرَّبُّ أَمَامَ أَعْدَائِكُمْ فَتُقْبِلُونَ عَلَيْهِمْ فِي طَرِيقٍ وَاحِدَةٍ وَتُوَلُّونَ الأَدْبَارَ أَمَامَهُمْ مُتَفَرِّقِينَ فِي سَبْعِ طُرُقٍ، وَتُصْبِحُونَ عِبْرَةً لِجَمِيعِ مَمَالِكِ الأَرْضِ.٢٥
26 Your corpses will be food for all the birds of the air and beasts of the earth, with no one to scare them away.
وَتَكُونُ جُثَثُكُمْ طَعَاماً لِجَمِيعِ طُيُورِ السَّمَاءِ وَوُحُوشِ الأَرْضِ وَلا يَطْرُدُهَا أَحَدٌ.٢٦
27 The LORD will afflict you with the boils of Egypt, with tumors and scabs and itch from which you cannot be cured.
وَيُصِيبُكُمُ الرَّبُّ بِدَاءِ قُرْحَةِ مِصْرَ وَبِالْبَوَاسِيرِ وَالْجَرَبِ وَالْحِكَّةِ، وَلا تَجِدُونَ لَهَا عِلاجاً.٢٧
28 The LORD will afflict you with madness, blindness, and confusion of mind,
وَيَبْتَلِيكُمُ الرَّبُّ بِالْجُنُونِ وَالْعَمَى وَارْتِبَاكِ الْفِكْرِ،٢٨
29 and at noon you will grope about like a blind man in the darkness. You will not prosper in your ways. Day after day you will be oppressed and plundered, with no one to save you.
فَتَتَحَسَّسُونَ طُرُقَكُمْ فِي الظُّهْرِ كَمَا يَتَحَسَّسُ الأَعْمَى طَرِيقَهُ فِي الظَّلامِ، وَتَبُوءُ طُرُقُكُمْ بِالإِخْفَاقِ، وَلا تَكُونُونَ إِلّا مَظْلُومِينَ مَغْصُوبِينَ كُلَّ الأَيَّامِ، وَلَيْسَ مِنْ مُنْقِذٍ.٢٩
30 You will be pledged in marriage to a woman, but another man will violate her. You will build a house but will not live in it. You will plant a vineyard but will not enjoy its fruit.
يَخْطُبُ أَحَدُكُمُ امْرَأَةً وَلَكِنَّ آخَرَ يَتَزَوَّجُهَا وَيُضَاجِعُهَا. تَبْنِي بَيْتاً وَلا تَسْكُنُ فِيهِ، وَتَغْرِسُ كَرْماً وَلا تَجْنِيهِ.٣٠
31 Your ox will be slaughtered before your eyes, but you will not eat any of it. Your donkey will be taken away and not returned to you. Your flock will be given to your enemies, and no one will save you.
يُذْبَحُ ثَوْرُكَ أَمَامَ عَيْنَيْكَ وَلا تَأْكُلُ مِنْهُ، وَيُغْتَصَبُ حِمَارُكَ عَلَى مَرْأَىً مِنْكَ وَلا يُرَدُّ إِلَيْكَ، وَيَسْتَوْلِي أَعْدَاؤُكَ عَلَى مَاشِيَتِكَ وَلَيْسَ مِنْ مُنْقِذٍ.٣١
32 Your sons and daughters will be given to another nation, while your eyes grow weary looking for them day after day, with no power in your hand.
يُسَاقُ أَوْلادُكَ وَبَنَاتُكَ إِلَى أُمَّةٍ أُخْرَى وَعَيْنَاكَ تُرَاقِبَانِهِمْ طَوَالَ النَّهَارِ، حَتَّى تَكِلّا، وَمَا فِي يَدِكَ حِيلَةٌ.٣٢
33 A people you do not know will eat the produce of your land and of all your toil. All your days you will be oppressed and crushed.
مَحْصُولُ أَرْضِكَ وَثَمَرُ تَعَبِكَ يَأْكُلُهُ شَعْبٌ غَرِيبٌ عَنْكَ، وَلا تَكُونُ سِوَى مَظْلُومٍ مَسْحُوقٍ دَائِماً.٣٣
34 You will be driven mad by the sights you see.
وَيُصِيبُكَ الْجُنُونُ مِنْ هَوْلِ مَا تَرَى.٣٤
35 The LORD will afflict you with painful, incurable boils on your knees and thighs, from the soles of your feet to the top of your head.
وَيَبْتَلِيكَ الرَّبُّ بِقُرُوحٍ خَبِيثَةٍ تُغَطِّي الرُّكْبَتَيْنِ وَالسَّاقَيْنِ، حَتَّى لَا تَجِدَ لَهَا شِفَاءً مِنْ قِمَّةِ الرَّأْسِ إِلَى أَخْمَصِ الْقَدَمِ.٣٥
36 The LORD will bring you and the king you appoint to a nation neither you nor your fathers have known, and there you will worship other gods—gods of wood and stone.
يَنْفِيكُمُ الرَّبُّ أَنْتُمْ وَمَلِكَكُمُ الَّذِي تَخْتَارُونَهُ إِلَى أُمَّةٍ لَا تَعْرِفُونَهَا أَنْتُمْ وَلا آبَاؤُكُمْ، حَيْثُ تَعْبُدُونَ هُنَاكَ آلِهَةً أُخْرَى مِنْ خَشَبٍ وَحَجَرٍ،٣٦
37 You will become an object of horror, scorn, and ridicule among all the nations to which the LORD will drive you.
وَتُصْبِحُونَ مَثَارَ دَهْشَةٍ وَسُخْرِيَةٍ وَعِبْرَةٍ فِي نَظَرِ جَمِيعِ الشُّعُوبِ الَّتِي يَنْفِيكُمُ الرَّبُّ إِلَيْهِمْ٣٧
38 You will sow much seed in the field but harvest little, because the locusts will consume it.
تَبْذُرُونَ كَثِيراً مِنَ الْبِذَارِ فِي الْحُقُولِ، وَلا تَحْصُدُونَ إِلّا الْقَلِيلَ، لأَنَّ الْجَرَادَ يَلْتَهِمُهُ.٣٨
39 You will plant and cultivate vineyards, but will neither drink the wine nor gather the grapes, because worms will eat them.
تَكْدَحُونَ فِي غَرْسِ كُرُومٍ وَمِنْ خَمْرِهَا لَا تَشْرَبُونَ، وَمِنْ ثَمَرِهَا لَا تَجْنُونَ، لأَنَّ الدُّودَ يَنْخَرُهَا.٣٩
40 You will have olive trees throughout your territory but will never anoint yourself with oil, because the olives will drop off.
تَكْتَظُّ أَرَاضِيكُمْ بِأَشْجَارِ الزَّيْتُونِ، وَلَكِنْ مِنْ زَيْتِهَا لَا تَدَّهِنُونَ، لأَنَّ زَيْتُونَكُمْ يَنْتَثِرُ عَلَى الأَرْضِ قَبْلَ نُضْجِهِ.٤٠
41 You will father sons and daughters, but they will not remain yours, because they will go into captivity.
تُنْجِبُونَ بَنِينَ وَبَنَاتٍ وَلا يَكُونُونَ لَكُمْ، لأَنَّهُمْ يُسْبَوْنَ.٤١
42 Swarms of locusts will consume all your trees and the produce of your land.
تَلْتَهِمُ أَسْرَابُ الْجَرَادِ أَشْجَارَكُمْ وَغَلّاتِ أَرْضِكُمْ.٤٢
43 The foreigner living among you will rise higher and higher above you, while you sink down lower and lower.
يَعْظُمُ شَأْنُ الْغُرَبَاءِ الْمُقِيمِينَ بَيْنَكُمْ، وَيَتَفَاقَمُ انْحِطَاطُ شَأْنِكُمْ.٤٣
44 He will lend to you, but you will not lend to him. He will be the head, and you will be the tail.
هُمْ يُقْرِضُونَكُمْ وَأَنْتُمْ لَا تُقْرِضُونَهُمْ، وَهُمْ يَكُونُونَ رَأْساً وَأَنْتُمْ تَكُونُونَ ذَنَباً،٤٤
45 All these curses will come upon you. They will pursue you and overtake you until you are destroyed, since you did not obey the LORD your God and keep the commandments and statutes He gave you.
وَتَحِلُّ بِكُمْ هَذِهِ اللَّعْنَاتُ وَتُلازِمُكُمْ وَتُلاحِقُكُمْ حَتَّى تَهْلِكُوا، لأَنَّكُمْ لَمْ تُطِيعُوا صَوْتَ الرَّبِّ إِلَهِكُمْ لِتَحْفَظُوا وَصَايَاهُ وَفَرَائِضَهُ الَّتِي أَمَرَكُمْ بِها،٤٥
46 These curses will be a sign and a wonder upon you and your descendants forever.
فَتَكُونُ فِيكُمْ وَفِي ذُرِّيَّتِكُمْ عِبْرَةً وَنَذِيراً إِلَى الأَبَدِ.٤٦
47 Because you did not serve the LORD your God with joy and gladness of heart in all your abundance,
وَلأَنَّكُمْ لَمْ تَعْبُدُوا الرَّبَّ إِلَهَكُمْ بِفَرَحٍ وَغِبْطَةٍ فِي زَمَنِ الازْدِهَارِ وَالْوَفْرَةِ،٤٧
48 you will serve your enemies the LORD will send against you in famine, thirst, nakedness, and destitution. He will place an iron yoke on your neck until He has destroyed you.
فَإِنَّكُمْ تُصْبِحُونَ عَبِيداً لأَعْدَائِكُمُ الَّذِينَ يُرْسِلُهُمُ الرَّبُّ عَلَيْكُمْ فِي أَحْوَالِ الْجُوعِ وَالْعَطَشِ وَالْعُرْيِ وَالْفَاقَةِ، وَيَضَعُ نِيرَ حَدِيدٍ عَلَى أَعْنَاقِكُمْ حَتَّى يُهْلِكَكُمْ.٤٨
49 The LORD will bring a nation from afar, from the ends of the earth, to swoop down upon you like an eagle—a nation whose language you will not understand,
وَيَجْلِبُ الرَّبُّ عَلَيْكُمْ مِنْ بَعِيدٍ، مِنْ أَقْصَى الأَرْضِ، أُمَّةً لَا تَفْهَمُونَ لُغَتَهَا، فَتَنْقَضُّ عَلَيْكُمْ كَالنَّسْرِ.٤٩
50 a ruthless nation with no respect for the old and no pity for the young.
أُمَّةً يُثِيرُ مَنْظَرُهَا الرُّعْبَ، لَا تَهَابُ الشَّيْخَ وَلا تَرْأَفُ بِالطِّفْلِ،٥٠
51 They will eat the offspring of your livestock and the produce of your land until you are destroyed. They will leave you no grain or new wine or oil, no calves of your herds or lambs of your flocks, until they have caused you to perish.
فَتَسْتَوْلِي عَلَى نِتَاجِ بَهَائِمِكُمْ، وَتَلْتَهِمُ غَلّاتِ أَرْضِكُمْ حَتَّى تَفْنَوْا، وَلا تُبْقِي لَكُمْ قَمْحاً وَلا خَمْراً وَلا زَيْتاً وَلا نِتَاجَ بَقَرِكُمْ وَنِعَاجِكُمْ حَتَّى تُهْلِكَكُمْ.٥١
52 They will besiege all the cities throughout your land, until the high and fortified walls in which you trust have fallen. They will besiege all your cities throughout the land that the LORD your God has given you.
وَتُحَاصِرُكُمْ فِي جَمِيعِ مُدُنِكُمْ حَتَّى تَتَهَدَّمَ أَسْوَارُكُمُ الشَّامِخَةُ الْحَصِينَةُ الَّتِي وَثِقْتُمْ بِمَنَاعَتِهَا فِي كُلِّ مُدُنِكُمْ. فَتُحَاصِرُكُمْ فِي جَمِيعِ مُدُنِكُمْ فِي كُلِّ أَرْضِكُمُ الَّتِي يَهَبُهَا الرَّبُّ إِلَهُكُمْ لَكُمْ.٥٢
53 Then you will eat the fruit of your womb, the flesh of the sons and daughters whom the LORD your God has given you, in the siege and distress that your enemy will inflict on you.
فَتَأْكُلُونَ فِي أَثْنَاءِ الْحِصَارِ وَالضِّيقَةِ الَّتِي يُضَايِقُكُمْ بِها عَدُوُّكُمْ ثِمَارَ بُطُونِكُمْ، لَحْمَ أَبْنَائِكُمْ وَبَنَاتِكُمُ الَّذِينَ رَزَقَكُمْ بِهِمِ الرَّبُّ إِلَهُكُمْ.٥٣
54 The most gentle and refined man among you will begrudge his brother, the wife he embraces, and the rest of his children who have survived,
فَيَقْسُو قَلْبُ أَكْثَرِكُمْ رِقَّةً وَرَأْفَةً عَلَى أَخِيهِ وَامْرَأَتِهِ الَّتِي فِي حِضْنِهِ وَسَائِرِ أَبْنَائِهِ الأَحْيَاءِ.٥٤
55 refusing to share with any of them the flesh of his children he will eat because he has nothing left in the siege and distress that your enemy will inflict on you within all your gates.
فَلا يُعْطِي أَحَدَهُمْ مِنْ لَحْمِ أَبْنَائِهِ، الَّذِي يَأْكُلُهُ، لأَنَّهُ لَمْ يَبْقَ لَدَيْهِ شَيْءٌ سِوَاهُ فِي الْحِصَارِ وَالضِّيقَةِ الَّتِي يُضَايِقُكُمْ بِها عَدُوُّكُمْ فِي جَمِيعِ مُدُنِكُمْ.٥٥
56 The most gentle and refined woman among you, so gentle and refined she would not venture to set the sole of her foot on the ground, will begrudge the husband she embraces and her son and daughter
وَكَذَلِكَ فَإِنَّ أَكْثَرَ النِّسَاءِ رِقَّةً وَرَأْفَةً، وَالَّتِي لِنُعُومَتِهَا وَتَرَفُّهِهَا لَا تَجْرُؤُ عَلَى لَمْسِ الأَرْضِ بِبَاطِنِ قَدَمِهَا، تَبْخَلُ عَلَى زَوْجِهَا رَجُلِ حِضْنِهَا وَعَلَى ابْنِهَا وَابْنَتِهَا٥٦
57 the afterbirth that comes from between her legs and the children she bears, because she will secretly eat them for lack of anything else in the siege and distress that your enemy will inflict on you within your gates.
بِمَشِيمَتِهَا السَّاقِطَةِ مِنْهَا، وَبِأَوْلادِهَا الَّذِينَ تَلِدُهُمْ، لأَنَّهَا تَنْوِي أَنْ تَأْكُلَهُمْ سِرّاً فِي أَثْنَاءِ الْحِصَارِ، فِي الضِّيقَةِ الَّتِي يُضَايِقُكُمْ بِها عَدُوُّكُمْ فِي كُلِّ مُدُنِكُمْ.٥٧
58 If you are not careful to observe all the words of this law which are written in this book, that you may fear this glorious and awesome name—the LORD your God—
فَإِنْ لَمْ تَحْرِصُوا عَلَى الْعَمَلِ بِجَمِيعِ كَلِمَاتِ هَذِهِ الشَّرِيعَةِ الْمَكْتُوبَةِ فِي هَذَا الْكِتَابِ، لِتَهابُوا اسْمَ الرَّبِّ إِلَهِكُمُ الْجَلِيلَ الْمَرْهُوبَ،٥٨
59 He will bring upon you and your descendants extraordinary disasters, severe and lasting plagues, and terrible and chronic sicknesses.
فَإِنَّ الرَّبَّ يَجْعَلُ الضَّرَبَاتِ النَّازِلَةَ بِكُمْ وَبِذُرِّيَّتِكُمْ ضَرَبَاتٍ مُخِيفَةً وَكَوَارِثَ رَهِيبَةً دَائِمَةً وَأَمْرَاضاً خَبِيثَةً مُزْمِنَةً،٥٩
60 He will afflict you again with all the diseases you dreaded in Egypt, and they will cling to you.
وَيُرْسِلُ عَلَيْكُمْ كُلَّ أَمْرَاضِ مِصْرَ الَّتِي فَزِعْتُمْ مِنْهَا فَتُلازِمُكُمْ،٦٠
61 The LORD will also bring upon you every sickness and plague not recorded in this Book of the Law, until you are destroyed.
وَيُسَلِّطُ الرَّبُّ عَلَيْكُمْ أَيْضاً كُلَّ دَاءٍ وَكُلَّ بَلِيَّةٍ لَمْ تَرِدْ فِي كِتَابِ الشَّرِيعَةِ هَذَا، حَتَّى تَهْلِكُوا.٦١
62 You who were as numerous as the stars in the sky will be left few in number, because you would not obey the voice of the LORD your God.
فَتَصِيرُونَ قِلَّةً بَعْدَ أَنْ كُنْتُمْ فِي كَثْرَةِ نُجُومِ السَّمَاءِ، لأَنَّكُمْ لَمْ تَسْمَعُوا صَوْتَ الرَّبِّ إِلَهِكُمْ.٦٢
63 Just as it pleased the LORD to make you prosper and multiply, so also it will please Him to annihilate you and destroy you. And you will be uprooted from the land you are entering to possess.
وَكَمَا سُرَّ الرَّبُّ بِكُمْ فَأَحْسَنَ إِلَيْكُمْ وَكَثَّرَكُمْ، فَإِنَّهُ سَيُسَرُّ بِأَنْ يَفْنِيَكُمْ وَيُهْلِكَكُمْ فَتَنْقَرِضُونَ مِنَ الأَرْضِ الَّتِي أَنْتُمْ مَاضُونَ إِلَيْهَا لاِمْتِلاكِهَا.٦٣
64 Then the LORD will scatter you among all the nations, from one end of the earth to the other, and there you will worship other gods, gods of wood and stone, which neither you nor your fathers have known.
وَيُشَتِّتُكُمُ الرَّبُّ بَيْنَ جَمِيعِ الأُمَمِ مِنْ أَقْصَى الأَرْضِ إِلَى أَقْصَاهَا، فَتَعْبُدُونَ هُنَاكَ آلِهَةً أُخْرَى مِنْ خَشَبٍ أَوْ حَجَرٍ لَمْ تَعْرِفُوهَا أَنْتُمْ وَلا آبَاؤُكُمْ،٦٤
65 Among those nations you will find no repose, not even a resting place for the sole of your foot. There the LORD will give you a trembling heart, failing eyes, and a despairing soul.
وَلا تَجِدُونَ بَيْنَ تِلْكَ الأُمَمِ اطْمِئْنَاناً وَلا مَقَرّاً لِقَدَمٍ، بَلْ يُعْطِيكُمُ الرَّبُّ قَلْباً هَلِعاً، وَعُيُوناً أَوْهَنَهَا التَّرَقُّبُ، وَنُفُوساً يَائِسَةً.٦٥
66 So your life will hang in doubt before you, and you will be afraid night and day, never certain of survival.
وَتَعِيشُونَ حَيَاةً مُفْعَمَةً دَائِماً بِالتَّوَتُّرِ، مَلِيئَةً بِالرُّعْبِ لَيْلاً وَنَهَاراً.٦٦
67 In the morning you will say, ‘If only it were evening!’ and in the evening you will say, ‘If only it were morning!’—because of the dread in your hearts of the terrifying sights you will see.
وَتَقُولُونَ فِي الصَّبَاحِ: يَا لَيْتَهُ الْمَسَاءُ، وَفِي الْمَسَاءِ: يَا لَيْتَهُ الصَّبَاحُ، مِنْ فَرْطِ ارْتِعَابِ قُلُوبِكُمْ وَمَا تَشْهَدُهُ عُيُونُكُمْ مِنْ هَوْلٍ.٦٧
68 The LORD will return you to Egypt in ships by a route that I said you should never see again. There you will sell yourselves to your enemies as male and female slaves, but no one will buy you.”
وَيَرُدُّكُمُ الرَّبُّ إِلَى دِيَارِ مِصْرَ فِي سُفُنٍ فِي طَرِيقٍ وَعَدَكُمْ أَلّا تَعُودُوا تَرَوْنَهَا، فَتُبَاعُونَ هُنَاكَ لأَعْدَائِكُمْ عَبِيداً وَإِمَاءً، وَلَيْسَ مَنْ يَشْتَرِي».٦٨
