Deuteronomy 11

1 Thou shalt love then Jehovah thy God, and keep his charge, and his statutes, and his ordinances, and his commandments continually.

١ فَأَحِبُّوا الرَّبَّ إِلَهَكُمْ وَحَافِظُوا عَلَى حُقُوقِهِ، وَأَطِيعُوا فَرَائِضَهُ وَأَحْكَامَهُ وَوَصَايَاهُ دَائِماً.

2 And know ye this day...; for [I speak] not with your children who have not known, and who have not seen the chastisement of Jehovah your God, his greatness, his powerful hand, and his stretched-out arm,

٢ وَاعْلَمُوا الْيَوْمَ أَنَّ حَدِيثِي لَيْسَ مُوَجَّهاً لأَبْنَائِكُمُ الَّذِينَ لَمْ يَعْرِفُوا وَلا اخْتَبَرُوا تَأْدِيبَ الرَّبِّ إِلَهِكُمْ، وَلا شَهِدُوا عَظَمَتَهُ وَقُوَّتَهُ الشَّدِيدَةَ وَقُدْرَتَهُ الْفَائِقَةَ،

3 and his signs and his acts which he did in the midst of Egypt unto Pharaoh the king of Egypt, and unto all his land;

٣ وَلا آيَاتِهِ وَمُعْجِزَاتِهِ الَّتِي أَجْرَاهَا فِي مِصْرَ عَلَى فِرْعَوْنَ مَلِكِ مِصْرَ وَعَلَى أَرْضِهِ،

4 and what he did unto the army of Egypt, unto their horses, and unto their chariots, over which he made the water of the Red sea flow as they pursued after you, and Jehovah destroyed them unto this day;

٤ وَالَّتِي صَنَعَهَا بِجَيْشِ مِصْرَ وَخَيْلِهِمْ وَمَرْكَبَاتِهِمْ، حَيْثُ جَعَلَ مِيَاهَ الْبَحْرِ الأَحْمَرِ تَغْمُرُهُمْ حِينَ سَعَوْا وَرَاءَكُمْ، فَأَهْلَكَهُمُ الرَّبُّ.

5 — and what he did unto you in the wilderness, until ye came to this place;

٥ وَالَّتِي عَمِلَهَا لَكُمْ فِي الصَّحْرَاءِ حَتَّى وَصَلْتُمْ إِلَى هَذَا الْمَكَانِ،

6 and what he did unto Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab, the son of Reuben, — how the earth opened its mouth, and swallowed them up, with their households, and their tents, and all the living substance that belonged to them, in the midst of all Israel.

٦ وَالَّتِي أَنْزَلَهَا بِدَاثَانَ وَأَبِيرَامَ ابْنَيْ أَلِيآبَ مِنْ سِبْطِ رَأُوبَيْنَ، اللَّذَيْنِ انْشَقَّتِ الأَرْضُ وَابْتَلَعَتْهُمَا مَعَ عَائِلَتَيْهِمَا وَخِيَامِهِمَا وَمُمْتَلَكَاتِهِمَا، عَلَى مَشْهَدِ كُلِّ الإِسْرَائِيلِيِّينَ،

7 For your eyes have seen all the great work of Jehovah which he hath done.

٧ بَلْ لَكُمْ خَاصَّةً لأَنَّ أَعْيُنَكُمْ أَنْتُمْ هِيَ الَّتِي شَهِدَتْ عَظَائِمَ الرَّبِّ الَّتِي أَجْرَاهَا.

8 Keep then all the commandment which I command you this day, that ye may be strong, and enter in and possess the land, whither ye pass over to possess it;

٨ لِهَذَا أَطِيعُوا كُلَّ الْوَصَايَا الَّتِي أَوْصَيْتُكُمْ بِها الْيَوْمَ، لِتَكُونَ لَدَيْكُمُ الْقُوَّةُ لِدُخُولِ وَامْتِلاكِ الأَرْضِ الَّتِي أَنْتُمْ مَاضُونَ إِلَيْهَا لِتَرِثُوهَا،

9 and that ye may prolong your days in the land which Jehovah swore unto your fathers to give unto them and unto their seed, a land flowing with milk and honey.

٩ وَلِكَيْ تُطِيلُوا أَيَّامَكُمْ عَلَى الأَرْضِ الَّتِي أَقْسَمَ الرَّبُّ لِآبَائِكُمْ أَنْ يُعْطِيَهَا لَهُمْ وَلِنَسْلِهِمْ، الأَرْضِ التي تَفِيضُ لَبَناً وَعَسَلاً.

10 For the land, whither thou enterest in to possess it, is not as the land of Egypt, from whence ye came out, where thou sowedst thy seed, and wateredst it with thy foot, as a garden of herbs;

١٠ لأَنَّ الأَرْضَ الَّتِي تُوْشِكُونَ الدُّخُولَ إِلَيْهَا لامْتِلاكِهَا لَا تُمَاثِلُ أَرْضَ مِصْرَ الَّتِي خَرَجْتُمْ مِنْهَا، حَيْثُ كُنْتُمْ تَزْرَعُونَ زَرْعَكُمْ وَتَرْوُونَهُ (بِفَتْحِ سُدُودِ الْقَنَوَاتِ الصَّغِيرَةِ) بِأَرْجُلِكُمْ، وَكَأَنَّهُ بُسْتَانُ بُقُولٍ.

11 but the land, whereunto ye are passing over to possess it, is a land of mountains and valleys, which drinketh water of the rain of heaven,

١١ بَلِ الأَرْضُ الَّتِي أَنْتُمْ مُقْبِلُونَ عَلَيْهَا لاِمْتِلاكِهَا هِيَ أَرْضُ جِبَالٍ وَأَوْدِيَةٍ، تَرْتَوِي مِنْ مَطَرِ السَّمَاءِ.

12 a land which Jehovah thy God careth for; the eyes of Jehovah thy God are constantly upon it, from the beginning of the year even unto the end of the year.

١٢ أَرْضٌ يَعْتَنِي بِها الرَّبُّ إِلَهُكُمْ، إذْ تَرْعَاهَا عَيْنَاهُ دَائِماً مِنْ أَوَّلِ السَّنَةِ حَتَّى آخِرِهَا.

13 And it shall come to pass, if ye hearken diligently unto my commandments which I command you this day, to love Jehovah your God, and to serve him with all your heart and with all your soul,

١٣ فَإِذَا أَطَعْتُمُ الْوَصَايَا الَّتِي أُوصِيكُمْ بِها الْيَوْمَ، وَأَحْبَبْتُمُ الرَّبَّ إِلَهَكُمْ وَعَبَدْتُمُوهُ مِنْ كُلِّ قُلُوبِكُمْ وَمِنْ كُلِّ نُفُوسِكُمْ،

14 that I will give rain to your land in its season, the early rain and the latter rain; and thou shalt gather in thy corn, and thy new wine, and thine oil;

١٤ فَإِنَّ الرَّبَّ يَسْكُبُ عَلَى أَرْضِكُمُ الْمَطَرَ الْمُبَكِّرَ وَالْمُتَأَخِّرَ فِي أَوَانِهِ، فَتَجْمَعُونَ قَمْحَكُمْ وَخَمْرَكُمْ، وَزَيْتَكُمْ،

15 and I will give grass in thy field for thy cattle; and thou shalt eat and be full.

١٥ وَيُنْبِتُ لِبَهَائِمِكُمْ عُشْباً فِي حُقُولِكُمْ، فَتَأْكُلُونَ أَنْتُمْ وَتَشْبَعُونَ.

16 Take heed to yourselves, that your heart be not deceived, and ye turn aside and serve other gods, and bow down to them,

١٦ وَلَكِنْ إِيَّاكُمْ أَنْ تَغْوِيَ قُلُوبُكُمْ فَتَزِيغُوا وَتَعْبُدُوا آلِهَةً أُخْرَى وَتَسْجُدُوا لَهَا،

17 and Jehovah's wrath kindle against you, and he shut up the heavens, that there be no rain, and that the ground yield not its produce, and ye perish quickly from off the good land which Jehovah is giving you.

١٧ فَيَحْتَدِمُ غَضَبُ الرَّبِّ عَلَيْكُمْ، وَيُغْلِقُ السَّمَاءَ، وَيَمْنَعُ الْمَطَرَ عَنِ الانْهِمَارِ، فَلا تُعْطِي الأَرْضُ غَلَتَهَا فَتَفْنَوْنَ سَرِيعاً عَنِ الأَرْضِ الْخَصِيبَةِ الَّتِي وَهَبَهَا لَكُمُ الرَّبُّ.

18 And ye shall lay up these my words in your heart and in your soul, and bind them for a sign upon your hand, and they shall be for frontlets between your eyes.

١٨ فَثَبِّتُوا كَلِمَاتِي هَذِهِ عَلَى قُلُوبِكُمْ، وَارْبِطُوهَا عَلامَةً عَلَى أَيْدِيكُمْ، وَاعْصِبُوا بِها جِبَاهَكُمْ،

19 And ye shall teach them unto your children, speaking of them when thou sittest in thy house, and when thou goest on the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up;

١٩ وَعَلِّمُوهَا لأَوْلادِكُمْ، وَتَحَدَّثُوا بِها حِينَ تَكُونُونَ فِي بُيُوتِكُمْ، وَحِينَ تَسِيرُونَ فِي الطَّرِيقِ، وَحِينَ تَأْوُونَ إِلَى فِرَاشِكُمْ، وَحِينَ تَنْهَضُونَ،

20 and write them upon the posts of thy house, and upon thy gates;

٢٠ وَاكْتُبُوهَا عَلَى قَوَائِمِ أَبْوَابِ بُيُوتِكُمْ وَبَوَّابَاتِ مُدُنِكُمْ،

21 that your days may be multiplied, and the days of your children, in the land which Jehovah swore unto your fathers to give them, as the days of the heavens [which are] above the earth.

٢١ لِكَيْ تَطُولَ أَيَّامُكُمْ وَأَيَّامُ أَوْلادِكُمْ عَلَى الأَرْضِ الَّتِي حَلَفَ الرَّبُّ لِآبَائِكُمْ أَنْ يَهَبَهَا لَهُمْ، فَتَكُونَ فِي كَثْرَتِهَا كَأَيَّامِ السَّمَاءِ عَلَى الأَرْضِ.

22 For if ye diligently keep all this commandment which I command you [this day] to do it, to love Jehovah your God, to walk in all his ways, and to cleave unto him,

٢٢ لأَنَّهُ إِذَا أَطَعْتُمْ جَمِيعَ هَذِهِ الْوَصَايَا الَّتِي أَنَا أُوصِيكُمْ بِها لِتُمَارِسُوهَا، وَأَحْبَبْتُمُ الرَّبَّ وَسَلَكْتُمْ فِي جَمِيعِ سُبُلِهِ وَتَمَسَّكْتُمْ بِهِ،

23 then will Jehovah dispossess all these nations from before you, and ye shall take possession of nations greater and mightier than yourselves.

٢٣ يَطْرُدُ الرَّبُّ جَمِيعَ تِلْكَ الأُمَمِ مِنْ أَمَامِكُمْ، فَتَرِثُونَ شُعُوباً أَكْبَرَ وَأَعْظَمَ مِنْكُمْ.

24 Every place whereon the sole of your foot shall tread shall be yours; from the wilderness and Lebanon, from the river, the river Euphrates, even unto the hinder sea shall your border be.

٢٤ وَكُلُّ مَوْضِعٍ تَطَأُهُ أَقْدَامُكُمْ يُصْبِحُ لَكُمْ، فَتَكُونُ حُدُودُكُمْ مِنَ الصَّحْرَاءِ فِي الْجَنُوبِ إِلَى لُبْنَانَ، وَمِنْ نَهْرِ الْفُرَاتِ إِلَى الْبَحْرِ الْمُتَوَسِّطِ غَرْباً.

25 No man shall be able to stand before you: the fear of you and the dread of you will Jehovah your God lay upon all the land that ye shall tread upon, as he hath said unto you.

٢٥ وَلا يَجْرُؤُ إِنْسَانٌ أَنْ يُقَاوِمَكُمْ، لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ إِلَهَكُمْ يَجْعَلُ الْخَوْفَ وَالرُّعْبَ مِنْكُمْ يَسُودَانِ عَلَى كُلِّ الأَرْضِ الَّتِي تَطَأُونَهَا، كَمَا وَعَدَكُمْ.

26 See, I set before you this day a blessing and a curse:

٢٦ انْظُرُوا هَا أَنَا أُخَيِّرُكُمُ الْيَوْمَ بَيْنَ الْبَرَكَةِ وَاللَّعْنَةِ:

27 a blessing, if ye obey the commandments of Jehovah your God, which I command you this day;

٢٧ الْبَرَكَةُ لَكُمْ إِنْ أَطَعْتُمْ وَصَايَا الرَّبِّ إِلَهِكُمُ الَّتِي أَنَا أَوْصَيْتُكُمْ بِها الْيَوْمَ،

28 and a curse, if ye will not obey the commandments of Jehovah your God, but turn aside out of the way which I command you this day, to go after other gods which ye have not known.

٢٨ وَاللَّعْنَةُ إِنْ عَصَيْتُمْ وَصَايَا الرَّبِّ إِلَهِكُمْ، وَضَلَلْتُمْ عَنِ الطَّرِيقِ الَّتِي أَنَا أُوصِيكُمْ بِها الْيَوْمَ، وَعَبَدْتُمْ آلِهَةً أُخْرَى غَرِيبَةً عَنْكُمْ.

29 And it shall come to pass, when Jehovah thy God hath brought thee into the land whither thou enterest in to possess it, that thou shalt put the blessing upon mount Gerizim, and the curse upon mount Ebal.

٢٩ إِذَا أَتَى بِكُمُ الرَّبُّ إِلَى الأَرْضِ الَّتِي تُوْشِكُونَ الدُّخُولَ إِلَيْهَا لامْتِلاكِهَا، فَأَعْلِنُوا الْبَرَكَةَ مِنْ عَلَى جَبَلِ جِرِزِّيمَ، وَاللَّعْنَةَ مِنْ عَلَى جَبَلِ عِيبَالَ.

30 Are they not on the other side of the Jordan, beyond the way toward the going down of the sun, in the land of the Canaanites that dwell on the plain opposite to Gilgal, beside the oaks of Moreh?

٣٠ أَوَ لَيْسَ هُمَا فِي غَرْبِيِّ نَهْرِ الأُرْدُنِّ، وَرَاءَ الطَّرِيقِ الْمُتَّجِهَةِ نَحْوَ غُرُوبِ الشَّمْسِ فِي أَرْضِ الْكَنْعَانِيِّينَ الْمُسْتَوْطِنِينَ فِي الْعَرَبَةِ مُقَابِلَ الْجِلْجَالِ عِنْدَ بَلُّوطَاتِ مُورَةَ؟

31 For ye pass over the Jordan to enter in to possess the land which Jehovah your God giveth you, and ye shall take possession of it, and dwell therein.

٣١ لأَنَّكُمْ عَابِرُونَ نَهْرَ الأُرْدُنِّ لِتَدْخُلُوا لامْتِلاكِ الأَرْضِ الَّتِي يَهَبُهَا لَكُمُ الرَّبُّ إِلَهُكُمْ، فَتَرِثُونَهَا وَتُقِيمُونَ فِيهَا.

32 And ye shall take heed to do all the statutes and ordinances which I set before you this day.

٣٢ فَأَطِيعُوا جَمِيعَ الْفَرَائِضِ وَالأَحْكَامِ الَّتِي سَنَنْتُهَا الْيَوْمَ أَمَامَكُمْ لِتُمَارِسُوهَا.
