Deuteronomy 11

1 Therefore thou shalt loue the Lord thy God, and shalt keepe that, which he commandeth to be kept: that is, his ordinances, and his lawes, and his commandements alway.

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

2 And consider this day (for I speake not to your children, which haue neither knowen nor seene) the chastisement of the Lord your God, his greatnesse, his mighty hande, and his stretched out arme,

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 signes, and his actes, which hee did in the middes of Egypt vnto Pharaoh the King of Egypt and vnto all his land:

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

4 And what he did vnto the hoste of the Egyptians, vnto their horses, and to their charets, when he caused the waters of the red Sea to ouerflowe them, as they pursued after you, and the Lord destroied them vnto 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 vnto you in the wildernesse, vntill yee came vnto this place:

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

6 And what he did vnto Dathan and Abiram the sonnes of Eliab ye sonne of Reuben, when the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed them with their housholds and their tents, and all their substance that they had in the middes of al 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 haue seene all the great actes of the Lord which he did.

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

8 Therefore shall ye keepe all the commandements, which I commaund you this day, that ye may be strong, and go in and possesse the land whither ye goe to possesse it:

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

9 Also that ye may prolong your daies in the land, which the Lord sware vnto your fathers, to giue vnto them and to their seede, euen a lande that floweth with milke and honie.

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 goest to possesse it, is not as the lande of Egypt, from whence ye came, where thou sowedst thy seede, and wateredst it with thy feete as a garden of herbes:

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 whither ye goe to possesse it, is a land of mountaines and valleis, and drinketh water of the raine of heauen.

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

12 This land doth the Lord thy God care for: the eies of the Lord thy God are alwaies vpon it, from the beginning of the yeere, euen vnto the ende of the yeere.

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

13 If yee shall hearken therefore vnto my commandements, which I commaund you this day, that yee loue the Lord your God and serue him with all your heart, and with all your soule,

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

14 I also wil giue raine vnto your land in due time, the first raine and the latter, that thou maist gather in thy wheat, and thy wine, and thine oyle.

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

15 Also I will send grasse in thy fieldes, for thy cattel, that thou maist eate, and haue inough.

١٥ وَيُنْبِتُ لِبَهَائِمِكُمْ عُشْباً فِي حُقُولِكُمْ، فَتَأْكُلُونَ أَنْتُمْ وَتَشْبَعُونَ.

16 But beware lest your heart deceiue you, and lest yee turne aside, and serue other gods, and worship them,

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

17 And so the anger of the Lord be kindled against you, and he shut vp the heauen, that there be no raine, and that your lande yeelde not her fruit, and yee perish quickly from the good land, which the Lord giueth 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 Therefore shall ye lay vp these my words in your heart and in your soule, and binde them for a signe vpon your hand, that they may be as a frontlet betweene your eyes,

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

19 And ye shall teach them your children, speaking of them, whe thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest downe, and when thou risest vp.

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

20 And thou shalt write them vpon the postes of thine house, and vpon thy gates,

٢٠ وَاكْتُبُوهَا عَلَى قَوَائِمِ أَبْوَابِ بُيُوتِكُمْ وَبَوَّابَاتِ مُدُنِكُمْ،

21 That your daies may be multiplied, and the daies of your children, in ye land which the Lord sware vnto your fathers to giue them, as long as the heauens are aboue 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 keepe diligently all these commandements, which I command you to doe: that is, to loue the Lord your God, to walke in all his waies, and to cleaue vnto him,

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

23 Then will the Lord cast out all these nations before you, and ye shall possesse great nations and mightier then you.

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

24 All the places whereon the soles of your feete shall tread, shalbe yours: your coast shalbe from the wildernes and from Lebanon, and from the Riuer, euen the riuer Perath, vnto ye vttermost Sea.

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 stande against you: for the Lord your God shall cast the feare and dread of you vpon all the land that ye shall treade vpon, as he hath said vnto you.

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

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

٢٦ انْظُرُوا هَا أَنَا أُخَيِّرُكُمُ الْيَوْمَ بَيْنَ الْبَرَكَةِ وَاللَّعْنَةِ:

27 The blessing, if ye obey the commandements of the Lord your God which I command you this day:

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

28 And ye curse, if ye wil not obey the commandements of the Lord your God, but turne out of the way, which I commande you this day, to go after other gods, which ye haue not knowen.

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

29 When the Lord thy God therefore hath brought thee into ye lande, whither thou goest to possesse it, then thou shalt put the blessing vpon mount Gerizim, and the curse vpon 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 beyond Iorden on that part, where the sunne goeth downe in the land of the Canaanites, which dwel in the plaine ouer against Gilgal, beside the groue 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 yee shall passe ouer Iorden, to goe in to possesse the land, which ye Lord your God giueth you, and ye shall possesse it, and dwell therein.

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

32 Take heede therefore that ye doe all the commandements and the lawes, which I set before you this day.

٣٢ فَأَطِيعُوا جَمِيعَ الْفَرَائِضِ وَالأَحْكَامِ الَّتِي سَنَنْتُهَا الْيَوْمَ أَمَامَكُمْ لِتُمَارِسُوهَا.
