Deuteronomy 8
1 You must take care to follow every commandment I am giving you today, so that you may live and have many descendants, and go in and take over the country the Lord promised to give to your fore fathers.
| «جَمِيعَ ٱلْوَصَايَا ٱلَّتِي أَنَا أُوصِيكُمْ بِهَا ٱلْيَوْمَ تَحْفَظُونَ لِتَعْمَلُوهَا، لِكَيْ تَحَيَوْا وَتَكْثُرُوا وَتَدْخُلُوا وَتَمْتَلِكُوا ٱلْأَرْضَ ٱلَّتِي أَقْسَمَ ٱلرَّبُّ لِآبَائِكُمْ. | ١ |
2 Remember how for these forty years the Lord your God has led you all the way through the desert, humbling you and testing you in order to find out what you were really thinking, and whether or not you would keep his commandments.
| وَتَتَذَكَّرُ كُلَّ ٱلطَّرِيقِ ٱلَّتِي فِيهَا سَارَ بِكَ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكَ هَذِهِ ٱلْأَرْبَعِينَ سَنَةً فِي ٱلْقَفْرِ، لِكَيْ يُذِلَّكَ وَيُجَرِّبَكَ لِيَعْرِفَ مَا فِي قَلْبِكَ: أَتَحْفَظُ وَصَايَاهُ أَمْ لَا؟ | ٢ |
3 He humbled you, and when you were hungry he gave you manna to eat, which nobody, including you and your forefathers, had ever had before This was in order to make it clear to you that human beings do not live by only eating bread, but by every word that comes from the mouth of the Lord.
| فَأَذَلَّكَ وَأَجَاعَكَ وَأَطْعَمَكَ ٱلْمَنَّ ٱلَّذِي لَمْ تَكُنْ تَعْرِفُهُ وَلَا عَرَفَهُ آبَاؤُكَ، لِكَيْ يُعَلِّمَكَ أَنَّهُ لَيْسَ بِٱلْخُبْزِ وَحْدَهُ يَحْيَا ٱلْإِنْسَانُ، بَلْ بِكُلِّ مَا يَخْرُجُ مِنْ فَمِ ٱلرَّبِّ يَحْيَا ٱلْإِنْسَانُ. | ٣ |
4 During these forty years your clothing didn't wear out and your feet didn't swell up.
| ثِيَابُكَ لَمْ تَبْلَ عَلَيْكَ، وَرِجْلُكَ لَمْ تَتَوَرَّمْ هَذِهِ ٱلْأَرْبَعِينَ سَنَةً. | ٤ |
5 So you should realize that just as a parent disciplines their child, so the Lord your God disciplines you.
| فَٱعْلَمْ فِي قَلْبِكَ أَنَّهُ كَمَا يُؤَدِّبُ ٱلْإِنْسَانُ ٱبْنَهُ قَدْ أَدَّبَكَ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكَ. | ٥ |
6 That's why you have to keep the commandments of the Lord your God, following his ways and respecting him.
| وَٱحْفَظْ وَصَايَا ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِكَ لِتَسْلُكَ فِي طُرُقِهِ وَتَتَّقِيَهُ، | ٦ |
7 For the Lord your God is taking you to a good country. It's a land of streams and pools and springs that flow through the valleys and down the hills;
| لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ إِلَهَكَ آتٍ بِكَ إِلَى أَرْضٍ جَيِّدَةٍ. أَرْضِ أَنْهَارٍ مِنْ عُيُونٍ، وَغِمَارٍ تَنْبَعُ فِي ٱلْبِقَاعِ وَٱلْجِبَالِ. | ٧ |
8 It's a land that produces wheat, barley, vines, fig trees, pomegranates, olive oil and honey.
| أَرْضِ حِنْطَةٍ وَشَعِيرٍ وَكَرْمٍ وَتِينٍ وَرُمَّانٍ. أَرْضِ زَيْتُونِ زَيْتٍ، وَعَسَلٍ. | ٨ |
9 It's a land where you won't run out of food, where you will have everything you need; a land whose rocks contain iron ore and whose hills can be mined for copper.
| أَرْضٍ لَيْسَ بِٱلْمَسْكَنَةِ تَأْكُلُ فِيهَا خُبْزًا، وَلَا يُعْوِزُكَ فِيهَا شَيْءٌ. أَرْضٍ حِجَارَتُهَا حَدِيدٌ، وَمِنْ جِبَالِهَا تَحْفُرُ نُحَاسًا. | ٩ |
10 When you eat and are full, make sure you thank the Lord your God for the good land that he's given you.
| فَمَتَى أَكَلْتَ وَشَبِعْتَ تُبَارِكُ ٱلرَّبَّ إِلَهَكَ لِأَجْلِ ٱلْأَرْضِ ٱلْجَيِّدَةِ ٱلَّتِي أَعْطَاكَ. | ١٠ |
11 Make sure you don't forget the Lord your God by disobeying his commandments and rules and regulations that I'm giving you today.
| اِحْتَرِزْ مِنْ أَنْ تَنْسَى ٱلرَّبَّ إِلَهَكَ وَلَا تَحْفَظَ وَصَايَاهُ وَأَحْكَامَهُ وَفَرَائِضَهُ ٱلَّتِي أَنَا أُوصِيكَ بِهَا ٱلْيَوْمَ. | ١١ |
12 For when you eat and are full, when you build beautiful houses to live in,
| لِئَلَّا إِذَا أَكَلْتَ وَشَبِعْتَ وَبَنَيْتَ بُيُوتًا جَيِّدَةً وَسَكَنْتَ، | ١٢ |
13 and when your herds and flocks grow larger, and your silver and gold accumulates, and all your possessions increase,
| وَكَثُرَتْ بَقَرُكَ وَغَنَمُكَ، وَكَثُرَتْ لَكَ ٱلْفِضَّةُ وَٱلذَّهَبُ، وَكَثُرَ كُلُّ مَا لَكَ، | ١٣ |
14 then you will become proud, and you will forget the Lord your God who led you out of Egypt, out of the prison-house of slavery.
| يَرْتَفِعُ قَلْبُكَ وَتَنْسَى ٱلرَّبَّ إِلَهَكَ ٱلَّذِي أَخْرَجَكَ مِنْ أَرْضِ مِصْرَ مِنْ بَيْتِ ٱلْعُبُودِيَّةِ، | ١٤ |
15 He guided you through the immense and terrifying desert with its poisonous snakes and scorpions—a dried up, waterless land. He brought water for you out of a flint rock.
| ٱلَّذِي سَارَ بِكَ فِي ٱلْقَفْرِ ٱلْعَظِيمِ ٱلْمَخُوفِ، مَكَانِ حَيَّاتٍ مُحْرِقَةٍ وَعَقَارِبَ وَعَطَشٍ حَيْثُ لَيْسَ مَاءٌ. ٱلَّذِي أَخْرَجَ لَكَ مَاءً مِنْ صَخْرَةِ ٱلصَّوَّانِ. | ١٥ |
16 He fed you in the desert with manna that your forefathers had never known, humbling you and testing you, so that eventually you would do well in the future.
| ٱلَّذِي أَطْعَمَكَ فِي ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ ٱلْمَنَّ ٱلَّذِي لَمْ يَعْرِفْهُ آبَاؤُكَ، لِكَيْ يُذِلَّكَ وَيُجَرِّبَكَ، لِكَيْ يُحْسِنَ إِلَيْكَ فِي آخِرَتِكَ. | ١٦ |
17 You might think to yourselves, “I became rich through all my hard work.”
| وَلِئَلَّا تَقُولَ فِي قَلْبِكَ: قُوَّتِي وَقُدْرَةُ يَدِيَ ٱصْطَنَعَتْ لِي هَذِهِ ٱلثَّرْوَةَ. | ١٧ |
18 But remember it's the Lord your God who gives you the ability to become rich, in order to fulfill his agreement he promised to your forefathers that still exists today.
| بَلِ ٱذْكُرِ ٱلرَّبَّ إِلَهَكَ، أَنَّهُ هُوَ ٱلَّذِي يُعْطِيكَ قُوَّةً لِٱصْطِنَاعِ ٱلثَّرْوَةِ، لِكَيْ يَفِيَ بِعَهْدِهِ ٱلَّذِي أَقْسَمَ لِآبَائِكَ كَمَا فِي هَذَا ٱلْيَوْمِ. | ١٨ |
19 If you ever forget the Lord your God, and run after other gods, worshiping and bowing down to them, I assure you right now that you will definitely die!
| وَإِنْ نَسِيتَ ٱلرَّبَّ إِلَهَكَ، وَذَهَبْتَ وَرَاءَ آلِهَةٍ أُخْرَى وَعَبَدْتَهَا وَسَجَدْتَ لَهَا، أُشْهِدُ عَلَيْكُمُ ٱلْيَوْمَ أَنَّكُمْ تَبِيدُونَ لَا مَحَالَةَ. | ١٩ |
20 In the same way the Lord destroyed the nations as you advanced, you will also die if you don't obey the Lord your God.
| كَٱلشُّعُوبِ ٱلَّذِينَ يُبِيدُهُمُ ٱلرَّبُّ مِنْ أَمَامِكُمْ كَذَلِكَ تَبِيدُونَ، لِأَجْلِ أَنَّكُمْ لَمْ تَسْمَعُوا لِقَوْلِ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِكُمْ. | ٢٠ |
