Deuteronomy 7

1 When the LORD thy God shall bring thee into the land whither thou goest to possess it, and shall cast out many nations before thee, the Hittite, and the Girgashite, and the Amorite, and the Canaanite, and the Perizzite, and the Hivite, and the Jebusite, seven nations greater and mightier than thou;

١ وَمَتَى أَدْخَلَكُمُ الرَّبُّ إِلَهُكُمْ إِلَى الأَرْضِ الَّتِي أَنْتُمْ مَاضُونَ إِلَيْهَا لِتَرِثُوهَا، وَطَرَدَ مِنْ أَمَامِكُمْ سَبْعَ أُمَمٍ، أَكْثَرَ وَأَعْظَمَ مِنْكُمْ، وَهُمُ الْحِثِّيُّونَ وَالْجِرْجَاشِيُّونَ وَالأَمُورِيُّونَ وَالْكَنْعَانِيُّونَ وَالْفِرِزِّيُّونَ وَالْحِوِّيُّونَ وَالْيَبُوسِيُّونَ.

2 and when the LORD thy God shall deliver them up before thee, and thou shalt smite them; then thou shalt utterly destroy them; thou shalt make no covenant with them, nor show mercy unto them;

٢ وَأَسْلَمَهُمُ الرَّبُّ إِلَيْكُمْ وَهَزَمْتُمُوهُمْ، فَإِنَّكُمْ تُحَرِّمُونَهُمْ. لَا تَقْطَعُوا لَهُمْ عَهْداً، وَلا تَرْفُقُوا بِهِمْ،

3 neither shalt thou make marriages with them: thy daughter thou shalt not give unto his son, nor his daughter shalt thou take unto thy son.

٣ وَلا تُصَاهِرُوهُمْ. فَلا تُزَوِّجُوا بَنَاتِكُمْ مِنْ أَبْنَائِهِمْ، وَلا أَبْنَاءَكُمْ مِنْ بَنَاتِهِمْ،

4 For he will turn away thy son from following Me, that they may serve other gods; so will the anger of the LORD be kindled against you, and He will destroy thee quickly.

٤ إِذْ يُغْوُونَ أَبْنَاءَكُمْ عَنْ عِبَادَتِي لِيَعْبُدُوا آلِهَةً أُخْرَى، فَيَحْتَدِمُ غَضَبُ الرَّبِّ عَلَيْكُمْ وَيُهْلِكُكُمْ سَرِيعاً.

5 But thus shall ye deal with them: ye shall break down their altars, and dash in pieces their pillars, and hew down their Asherim, and burn their graven images with fire.

٥ وَلَكِنْ هَذَا مَا تَفْعَلُونَهُ بِهِمْ: اهْدِمُوا مَذَابِحَهُمْ وَحَطِّمُوا أَصْنَامَهُمْ وَقَطِّعُوا سَوَارِيَهُمْ وَأَحْرِقُوا تَمَاثِيلَهُمْ.

6 For thou art a holy people unto the LORD thy God: the LORD thy God hath chosen thee to be His own treasure, out of all peoples that are upon the face of the earth.

٦ لأَنَّكُمْ شَعْبٌ مُقَدَّسٌ لِلرَّبِّ إِلَهِكُمْ. فَإِيَّاكُمْ قَدِ اخْتَارَ الرَّبُّ إِلَهُكُمْ مِنْ بَيْنِ جَمِيعِ شُعُوبِ الأَرْضِ لِتَكُونُوا شَعْبَهُ الْخَاصَّ.

7 The LORD did not set His love upon you, nor choose you, because ye were more in number than any people — for ye were the fewest of all peoples —

٧ وَلَمْ يُفَضِّلْكُمُ الرَّبُّ وَيَتَخَيَّرْكُمْ لأَنَّكُمْ أَكْثَرُ عَدَداً مِنْ سَائِرِ الشُّعُوبِ، فَأَنْتُمْ أَقَلُّ الأُمَمِ عَدَداً.

8 but because the LORD loved you, and because He would keep the oath which He swore unto your fathers, hath the LORD brought you out with a mighty hand, and redeemed you out of the house of bondage, from the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt.

٨ بَلْ مِنْ مَحَبَّتِهِ، وَحِفَاظاً عَلَى الْقَسَمِ الَّذِي أَقْسَمَ بِهِ لِآبَائِكُمْ، أَخْرَجَكُمْ بِقُوَّةٍ فَائِقَةٍ، وَفَدَاكُمْ مِنْ نِيرِ عُبُودِيَّةِ فِرْعَوْنَ مَلِكِ مِصْرَ.

9 Know therefore that the LORD thy God, He is God; the faithful God, who keepeth covenant and mercy with them that love Him and keep His commandments to a thousand generations;

٩ فَاعْلَمُوا أَنَّ الرَّبَّ إِلَهَكُمْ هُوَ اللهُ، الإِلَهُ الأَمِينُ الْوَفِيُّ بِالْعَهْدِ وَالإِحْسَانِ لِمُحِبِّيهِ وَحَافِظِي وَصَايَاهُ إِلَى أَلْفِ جِيلٍ.

10 and repayeth them that hate Him to their face, to destroy them; He will not be slack to him that hateth Him, He will repay him to his face.

١٠ وَهُوَ يُجَازِي مُبْغِضِيهِ عَلَناً، فَيَسْتَأْصِلُهُمْ وَلا يَتَمَهَّلُ، بَلْ يُسْرِعُ فِي مُعَاقَبَةِ مَنْ يُبْغِضُهُ.

11 Thou shalt therefore keep the commandment, and the statutes, and the ordinances, which I command thee this day, to do them.

١١ فَأَطِيعُوا الْوَصَايَا وَالْفَرَائِضَ وَالأَحْكَامَ الَّتِي أُوْصِيكُمْ بِها الْيَوْمَ لِتُمَارِسُوهَا.

12 And it shall come to pass, because ye hearken to these ordinances, and keep, and do them, that the LORD thy God shall keep with thee the covenant and the mercy which He swore unto thy fathers,

١٢ فَإِنِ اسْتَمَعْتُمْ إِلَى هَذِهِ الأَحْكَامِ وَأَطَعْتُمُوهَا وَعَمِلْتُمْ بِها، فَإِنَّ الرَّبَّ إِلَهَكُمْ يُحَافِظُ لَكُمْ عَلَى الْعَهْدِ وَالإِحْسَانِ كَمَا حَلَفَ لِآبَائِكُمْ.

13 and He will love thee, and bless thee, and multiply thee; He will also bless the fruit of thy body and the fruit of thy land, thy corn and thy wine and thine oil, the increase of thy kine and the young of thy flock, in the land which He swore unto thy fathers to give thee.

١٣ وَيُحِبُّكُمْ وَيُبَارِكُكُمْ وَيُكَثِّرُكُمْ، وَيُبَارِكُ ثَمَرَةَ أَحْشَائِكُمْ وَغَلَّةَ أَرْضِكُمْ مِنْ قَمْحٍ وَخَمْرٍ وَزَيْتٍ، وَيَزِيدُ مِنْ إِنْتَاجِ بَقَرِكُمْ وَنِعَاجِكُمْ عَلَى الأَرْضِ الَّتِي أَقْسَمَ لِآبَائِكُمْ أَنْ يَهَبَهَا لَكُمْ.

14 Thou shalt be blessed above all peoples; there shall not be male or female barren among you, or among your cattle.

١٤ وَتَكُونُونَ مُبَارَكِينَ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ جَمِيعِ الشُّعُوبِ، فَلا يُوْجَدُ عَقِيمٌ وَلا عَاقِرٌ فِيكُمْ وَلا فِي بَهَائِمِكُمْ.

15 And the LORD will take away from thee all sickness; and He will put none of the evil diseases of Egypt, which thou knowest, upon thee, but will lay them upon all them that hate thee.

١٥ وَيَقِيكُمُ الرَّبُّ مِنْ كُلِّ عِلَّةٍ، وَكُلِّ أَمْرَاضِ مِصْرَ الْخَبِيثَةِ الَّتِي عَايَنْتُمُوهَا، وَلا يُصِيبُكُمْ بِها، بَلْ يَجْعَلُهَا عَلَى مُبْغِضِيكُمْ.

16 And thou shalt consume all the peoples that the LORD thy God shall deliver unto thee; thine eye shall not pity them; neither shalt thou serve their gods; for that will be a snare unto thee.

١٦ وَتَسْتَأْصِلُونَ جَمِيعَ الشُّعُوبِ الَّذِينَ يُسْلِمُهُمُ الرَّبُّ إِلَيْكُمْ، فَلا تُشْفِقُوا عَلَيْهِمْ وَلا تَعْبُدُوا آلِهَتَهُمْ لأَنَّ ذَلِكَ شَرَكٌ لَكُمْ.

17 If thou shalt say in thy heart: 'These nations are more than I; how can I dispossess them?'

١٧ وَإِنْ تَسَاءَلْتُمْ فِي قُلُوبِكُمْ: إِنَّ هَذِهِ الشُّعُوبَ أَكْثَرُ مِنَّا عَدَداً، فَكَيْفَ نَقْدِرُ أَنْ نَطْرُدَهُمْ؟

18 thou shalt not be afraid of them; thou shalt well remember what the LORD thy God did unto Pharaoh, and unto all Egypt:

١٨ لَا تَخَافُوا مِنْهُمْ بَلِ اذْكُرُوا مَا صَنَعَهُ الرَّبُّ إِلَهُكُمْ بِفِرْعَوْنَ وَسَائِرِ الْمِصْرِيِّينَ.

19 the great trials which thine eyes saw, and the signs, and the wonders, and the mighty hand, and the outstretched arm, whereby the LORD thy God brought thee out; so shall the LORD thy God do unto all the peoples of whom thou art afraid.

١٩ اذْكُرُوا الْوَيْلاتِ الْعَظِيمَةَ الَّتِي شَهِدَتْهَا أَعْيُنُكُمْ وَالْمُعْجِزَاتِ وَالْعَجَائِبَ وَالْقُوَّةَ الشَّدِيدَةَ وَالْقُدْرَةَ الْفَائِقَةَ الَّتِي أَخْرَجَكُمْ بِها الرَّبُّ إِلَهُكُمْ، فَهَكَذَا يَفْعَلُ الرَّبُّ إِلَهُكُمْ بِجَمِيعِ الأُمَمِ الَّتِي تَخْشَوْنَهَا.

20 Moreover the LORD thy God will send the hornet among them, until they that are left, and they that hide themselves, perish from before thee.

٢٠ وَيُرْسِلُ عَلَيْهِمِ الرَّبُّ إِلَهُكُمْ الزَّنَابِيرَ وَيُبِيدُ الْبَاقِينَ الْمُحْتَجِبِينَ مِنْ وَجْهِكُمْ.

21 Thou shalt not be affrighted at them; for the LORD thy God is in the midst of thee, a God great and awful.

٢١ لَا تَرْهَبُوهُمْ، لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ إِلَهَكُمُ الْحَالَّ بَيْنَكُمْ إِلَهٌ عَظِيمٌ وَمَرْهُوبٌ.

22 And the LORD thy God will cast out those nations before thee by little and little; thou mayest not consume them quickly, lest the beasts of the field increase upon thee.

٢٢ غَيْرَ أَنَّ الرَّبَّ إِلَهَكُمْ سَيَطْرُدُ تِلْكَ الأُمَمَ مِنْ أَمَامِكُمْ تَدْرِيجِيًّا، لِئَلّا تَتَكَاثَرَ عَلَيْكُمْ وُحُوشُ الْبَرِّيَّةِ إِنْ أَسْرَعْتُمْ بِالْقَضَاءِ عَلَيْهِمْ دَفْعَةً وَاحِدَةً.

23 But the LORD thy God shall deliver them up before thee, and shall discomfit them with a great discomfiture, until they be destroyed.

٢٣ إِنَّ الرَّبَّ إِلَهَكُمْ يُسْلِمُهُمْ إِلَيْكُمْ مُوْقِعاً بِهِمِ الاضْطِرَابَ الْعَظِيمَ حَتَّى يَنْقَرِضُوا،

24 And He shall deliver their kings into thy hand, and thou shalt make their name to perish from under heaven; there shall no man be able to stand against thee, until thou have destroyed them.

٢٤ وَيَجْعَلُ مُلُوكَهُمْ يَقَعُونَ فِي أَسْرِكُمْ فَتَمْحُونَ اسْمَهُمْ مِنَ الأَرْضِ. وَلَنْ يَقْدِرَ أَحَدٌ أَنْ يُجَابِهَكُمْ، فَإِنَّكُمْ تُفْنُونَهُمْ.

25 The graven images of their gods shall ye burn with fire; thou shalt not covet the silver or the gold that is on them, nor take it unto thee, lest thou be snared therein; for it is an abomination to the LORD thy God.

٢٥ أَحْرِقُوا تَمَاثِيلَ آلِهَتِهِمْ وَلا تَشْتَهُوا مَا عَلَيْهَا مِنْ فِضَّةٍ وَذَهَبٍ فَتَغْنَمُوهَا لأَنْفُسِكُمْ، لِئَلّا تَقْتَنِصَكُمْ، لأَنَّهَا رِجْسٌ عِنْدَ الرَّبِّ إِلَهِكُمْ.

26 And thou shalt not bring an abomination into thy house, and be accursed like unto it; thou shalt utterly detest it, and thou shalt utterly abhor it; for it is a devoted thing.

٢٦ لَا تُدْخِلُوا شَيْئاً رِجْساً إِلَى بُيُوتِكُمْ لِئَلّا تُصْبِحُوا أَهْلاً لِلدَّمَارِ مِثْلَهُ، بَلْ عَلَيْكُمْ أَنْ تَسْتَقْبِحُوهُ وَتَمْقُتُوهُ، لأَنَّ مَآلَهُ الدَّمَارُ.
