Deuteronomy 6

1 These now are the commandements, ordinances, and lawes, which the Lord your God commanded me to teach you, that ye might doe them in the land whither ye go to possesse it:

١ «وَهَذِهِ هِيَ ٱلْوَصَايَا وَٱلْفَرَائِضُ وَٱلْأَحْكَامُ ٱلَّتِي أَمَرَ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكُمْ أَنْ أُعَلِّمَكُمْ لِتَعْمَلُوهَا فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ ٱلَّتِي أَنْتُمْ عَابِرُونَ إِلَيْهَا لِتَمْتَلِكُوهَا،

2 That thou mightest feare the Lord thy God, and keepe all his ordinances, and his commandements which I commaund thee, thou, and thy sonne, and thy sonnes sonne all the dayes of thy life, euen that thy dayes may be prolonged.

٢ لِكَيْ تَتَّقِيَ ٱلرَّبَّ إِلَهَكَ وَتَحْفَظَ جَمِيعَ فَرَائِضِهِ وَوَصَايَاهُ ٱلَّتِي أَنَا أُوصِيكَ بِهَا، أَنْتَ وَٱبْنُكَ وَٱبْنُ ٱبْنِكَ كُلَّ أَيَّامِ حَيَاتِكَ، وَلِكَيْ تَطُولَ أَيَّامُكَ.

3 Heare therefore, O Israel, and take heede to doe it, that it may go well with thee, and that ye may increase mightily in the land that floweth with milke and hony, as the Lord God of thy fathers hath promised thee.

٣ فَٱسْمَعْ يَا إِسْرَائِيلُ وَٱحْتَرِزْ لِتَعْمَلَ، لِكَيْ يَكُونَ لَكَ خَيْرٌ وَتَكْثُرَ جِدًّا، كَمَا كَلَّمَكَ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُ آبَائِكَ فِي أَرْضٍ تَفِيضُ لَبَنًا وَعَسَلًا.

4 Heare, O Israel, The Lord our God is Lord onely,

٤ «اِسْمَعْ يَا إِسْرَائِيلُ: ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُنَا رَبٌّ وَاحِدٌ.

5 And thou shalt loue the Lord thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soule, and with all thy might.

٥ فَتُحِبُّ ٱلرَّبَّ إِلَهَكَ مِنْ كُلِّ قَلْبِكَ وَمِنْ كُلِّ نَفْسِكَ وَمِنْ كُلِّ قُوَّتِكَ.

6 And these wordes which I commaund thee this day, shalbe in thine heart.

٦ وَلْتَكُنْ هَذِهِ ٱلْكَلِمَاتُ ٱلَّتِي أَنَا أُوصِيكَ بِهَا ٱلْيَوْمَ عَلَى قَلْبِكَ،

7 And thou shalt rehearse them continually vnto thy children, and shalt talke of them when thou tariest in thine house, and as thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest downe, and when thou risest vp:

٧ وَقُصَّهَا عَلَى أَوْلَادِكَ، وَتَكَلَّمْ بِهَا حِينَ تَجْلِسُ فِي بَيْتِكَ، وَحِينَ تَمْشِي فِي ٱلطَّرِيقِ، وَحِينَ تَنَامُ وَحِينَ تَقُومُ،

8 And thou shalt binde them for a signe vpon thine hand, and they shalbe as frontlets betweene thine eyes.

٨ وَٱرْبُطْهَا عَلَامَةً عَلَى يَدِكَ، وَلْتَكُنْ عَصَائِبَ بَيْنَ عَيْنَيْكَ،

9 Also thou shalt write them vpon ye postes of thine house, and vpon thy gates.

٩ وَٱكْتُبْهَا عَلَى قَوَائِمِ أَبْوَابِ بَيْتِكَ وَعَلَى أَبْوَابِكَ.

10 And when the Lord thy God hath brought thee into the land, which he sware vnto thy fathers, Abraham, Izhak, and Iaakob, to giue to thee, with great and goodly cities which thou buildedst not,

١٠ «وَمَتَى أَتَى بِكَ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكَ إِلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ ٱلَّتِي حَلَفَ لِآبَائِكَ إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَإِسْحَاقَ وَيَعْقُوبَ أَنْ يُعْطِيَكَ، إِلَى مُدُنٍ عَظِيمَةٍ جَيِّدَةٍ لَمْ تَبْنِهَا،

11 And houses full of all maner of goods which thou filledst not, and welles digged which thou diggedst not, vineyards and oliue trees which thou plantedst not, and when thou hast eaten and art full,

١١ وَبُيُوتٍ مَمْلُوءَةٍ كُلَّ خَيْرٍ لَمْ تَمْلَأْهَا، وَأَبَآرٍ مَحْفُورَةٍ لَمْ تَحْفِرْهَا، وَكُرُومٍ وَزَيْتُونٍ لَمْ تَغْرِسْهَا، وَأَكَلْتَ وَشَبِعْتَ،

12 Beware least thou forget the Lord, which brought thee out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage.

١٢ فَٱحْتَرِزْ لِئَلَّا تَنْسَى ٱلرَّبَّ ٱلَّذِي أَخْرَجَكَ مِنْ أَرْضِ مِصْرَ مِنْ بَيْتِ ٱلْعُبُودِيَّةِ.

13 Thou shalt feare the Lord thy God, and serue him, and shalt sweare by his Name.

١٣ ٱلرَّبَّ إِلَهَكَ تَتَّقِي، وَإِيَّاهُ تَعْبُدُ، وَبِٱسْمِهِ تَحْلِفُ.

14 Ye shall not walke after other gods, after any of the gods of the people which are round about you,

١٤ لَا تَسِيرُوا وَرَاءَ آلِهَةٍ أُخْرَى مِنْ آلِهَةِ ٱلْأُمَمِ ٱلَّتِي حَوْلَكُمْ،

15 (For the Lord thy God is a ielous God among you: ) least the wrath of the Lord thy God be kindled against thee, and destroy thee from the face of the earth.

١٥ لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ إِلَهَكُمْ إِلَهٌ غَيُورٌ فِي وَسَطِكُمْ، لِئَلَّا يَحْمَى غَضَبُ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِكُمْ عَلَيْكُمْ فَيُبِيدَكُمْ عَنْ وَجْهِ ٱلْأَرْضِ.

16 Ye shall not tempt the Lord your God, as ye did tempt him in Massah:

١٦ لَا تُجَرِّبُوا ٱلرَّبَّ إِلَهَكُمْ كَمَا جَرَّبْتُمُوهُ فِي مَسَّةَ.

17 But ye shall keepe diligently the commandements of the Lord your God, and his testimonies, and his ordinances which he hath commanded thee,

١٧ ٱحْفَظُوا وَصَايَا ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِكُمْ وَشَهَادَاتِهِ وَفَرَائِضِهِ ٱلَّتِي أَوْصَاكُمْ بِهَا.

18 And thou shalt doe that which is right and good in the sight of the Lord: that thou mayest prosper, and that thou mayest go in, and possesse that good land which the Lord sware vnto thy fathers,

١٨ وَٱعْمَلِ ٱلصَّالِحَ وَٱلْحَسَنَ فِي عَيْنَيِ ٱلرَّبِّ، لِكَيْ يَكُونَ لَكَ خَيْرٌ، وَتَدْخُلَ وَتَمْتَلِكَ ٱلْأَرْضَ ٱلْجَيِّدَةَ ٱلَّتِي حَلَفَ ٱلرَّبُّ لِآبَائِكَ

19 To cast out all thine enemies before thee, as the Lord hath sayd.

١٩ أَنْ يَنْفِيَ جَمِيعَ أَعْدَائِكَ مِنْ أَمَامِكَ. كَمَا تَكَلَّمَ ٱلرَّبُّ.

20 When thy sonne shall aske thee in time to come, saying, What meane these testimonies, and ordinances, and Lawes, which the Lord our God hath commanded you?

٢٠ «إِذَا سَأَلَكَ ٱبْنُكَ غَدًا قَائِلًا: مَا هِيَ ٱلشَّهَادَاتُ وَٱلْفَرَائِضُ وَٱلْأَحْكَامُ ٱلَّتِي أَوْصَاكُمْ بِهَا ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُنَا؟

21 Then shalt thou say vnto thy sonne, We were Pharaohs bondmen in Egypt: but the Lord brought vs out of Egypt with a mightie hand.

٢١ تَقُولُ لِٱبْنِكَ: كُنَّا عَبِيدًا لِفِرْعَوْنَ فِي مِصْرَ، فَأَخْرَجَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ مِنْ مِصْرَ بِيَدٍ شَدِيدَةٍ.

22 And the Lord shewed signes and wonders great and euill vpon Egypt, vpon Pharaoh, and vpon all his housholde, before our eyes,

٢٢ وَصَنَعَ ٱلرَّبُّ آيَاتٍ وَعَجَائِبَ عَظِيمَةً وَرَدِيئَةً بِمِصْرَ، بِفِرْعَوْنَ وَجَمِيعِ بَيْتِهِ أَمَامَ أَعْيُنِنَا

23 And brought vs out from thence, to bring vs in, and to giue vs the land which he sware vnto our fathers.

٢٣ وَأَخْرَجَنَا مِنْ هُنَاكَ لِكَيْ يَأْتِيَ بِنَا وَيُعْطِيَنَا ٱلْأَرْضَ ٱلَّتِي حَلَفَ لِآبَائِنَا.

24 Therefore the Lord hath commanded vs, to doe all these ordinances, and to feare the Lord our God, that it may goe euer well with vs, and that he may preserue vs aliue as at this present.

٢٤ فَأَمَرَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ أَنْ نَعْمَلَ جَمِيعَ هَذِهِ ٱلْفَرَائِضَ وَنَتَّقِيَ ٱلرَّبَّ إِلَهَنَا، لِيَكُونَ لَنَا خَيْرٌ كُلَّ ٱلْأَيَّامِ، وَيَسْتَبْقِيَنَا كَمَا فِي هَذَا ٱلْيَوْمِ.

25 Moreouer, this shall be our righteousnes before the Lord our God, if we take heede to keepe all these commandements, as he hath commanded vs.

٢٥ وَإِنَّهُ يَكُونُ لَنَا بِرٌّ إِذَا حَفِظْنَا جَمِيعَ هَذِهِ ٱلْوَصَايَا لِنَعْمَلَهَا أَمَامَ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِنَا كَمَا أَوْصَانَا.
