Deuteronomy 26

1 And it shall be, when thou [art] come in unto the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee [for] an inheritance, and possessest it, and dwellest therein;

١ وَمَتَى بَلَغْتُمُ الأَرْضَ الَّتِي يَهَبُهَا الرَّبُّ إِلَهُكُمْ لَكُمْ مِيرَاثاً وَامْتَلَكْتُمُوهَا وَاسْتَوْطَنْتُمْ فِيهَا،

2 That thou shalt take of the first of all the fruit of the earth, which thou shalt bring of thy land that the LORD thy God giveth thee, and shalt put [it] in a basket, and shalt go unto the place which the LORD thy God shall choose to place his name there.

٢ فَاجْمَعُوا مِنْ أَوَّلِ كُلِّ ثَمَرٍ تُغِلُّهُ أَرْضُكُمُ الَّتِي يَهَبُهَا الرَّبُّ إِلَهُكُمْ لَكُمْ، وَضَعُوهُ فِي سِلالٍ، وَامْضُوا إِلَى الْمَوْضِعِ الَّذِي يَخْتَارُهُ الرَّبُّ إِلَهُكُمْ لِيُحِلَّ فِيهِ اسْمَهُ.

3 And thou shalt go unto the priest that shall be in those days, and say unto him, I profess this day unto the LORD thy God, that I am come unto the country which the LORD sware unto our fathers for to give us.

٣ وَيَأْتِي صَاحِبُ التَّقْدِمَةِ إِلَى الْكَاهِنِ الْمُعَيَّنِ وَيَقُولُ: أَعْتَرِفُ الْيَوْمَ لِلرَّبِّ إِلَهِكَ أَنِّي قَدْ جِئْتُ إِلَى الأَرْضِ الَّتِي حَلَفَ الرَّبُّ لِآبَائِنَا أَنْ يَهَبَهَا لَنَا.

4 And the priest shall take the basket out of thine hand, and set it down before the altar of the LORD thy God.

٤ فَيَتَنَاوَلُ الْكَاهِنُ السَّلَّةَ مِنْ يَدِهِ وَيَضَعُهَا أَمَامَ مَذْبَحِ الرَّبِّ إِلَهِكُمْ،

5 And thou shalt speak and say before the LORD thy God, A Syrian ready to perish [was] my father, and he went down into Egypt, and sojourned there with a few, and became there a nation, great, mighty, and populous:

٥ ثُمَّ يُعْلِنُ صَاحِبُ التَّقْدِمَةِ قَائِلاً أَمَامَ الرَّبِّ إِلَهِكُمْ: كَانَ أَبِي أَرَامِيًّا تَائِهاً، ثُمَّ انْحَدَرَ إِلَى مِصْرَ وَتَغَرَّبَ هُنَاكَ، وَمَعَهُ نَفَرٌ قَلِيلٌ. وَلَكِنَّهُ أَصْبَحَ هُنَاكَ أُمَّةً كَبِيرَةً عَظِيمَةً.

6 And the Egyptians evil entreated us, and afflicted us, and laid upon us hard bondage:

٦ فَأَسَاءَ إِلَيْنَا الْمِصْرِيُّونَ وَأَرْهَقُونَا وَقَسَوْا عَلَيْنَا فِي اسْتِعْبَادِهِمْ،

7 And when we cried unto the LORD God of our fathers, the LORD heard our voice, and looked on our affliction, and our labour, and our oppression:

٧ فَصَرَخْنَا إِلَى الرَّبِّ إِلَهِ آبَائِنَا، فَاسْتَجَابَ لَنَا وَرَأَى بُؤْسَنَا وَتَعَبَنَا وَضِيقَنَا،

8 And the LORD brought us forth out of Egypt with a mighty hand, and with an outstretched arm, and with great terribleness, and with signs, and with wonders:

٨ فَأَخْرَجَنَا مِنْ دِيَارِ مِصْرَ بِقُوَّةٍ شَدِيدَةٍ وَقُدْرَةٍ فَائِقَةٍ، وَوَيْلاتٍ عَظِيمَةٍ وَآيَاتٍ وَعَجَائِبَ،

9 And he hath brought us into this place, and hath given us this land, [even] a land that floweth with milk and honey.

٩ وَأَدْخَلَنَا إِلَى هَذَا الْمَكَانِ، وَوَهَبَنَا هَذِهِ الأَرْضَ الَّتِي تَفِيضُ لَبَناً وَعَسَلاً.

10 And now, behold, I have brought the firstfruits of the land, which thou, O LORD, hast given me. And thou shalt set it before the LORD thy God, and worship before the LORD thy God:

١٠ فَهَا أَنَا الآنَ قَدْ أَتَيْتُ بِأَوَّلِ ثَمَرِ الأَرْضِ الَّتِي وَهَبْتَنِي يَا رَبُّ ثُمَّ يَضَعُهُ أَمَامَ الرَّبِّ إِلَهِكُمْ وَيَسْجُدُ فِي حَضْرَتِهِ،

11 And thou shalt rejoice in every good [thing] which the LORD thy God hath given unto thee, and unto thine house, thou, and the Levite, and the stranger that [is] among you.

١١ وَيَحْتَفِلُ بِجَمِيعِ الْخَيْرِ الَّذِي أَنْعَمَ بِهِ الرَّبُّ إِلَهُكُمْ عَلَيْهِ وَعَلَى أَهْلِ بَيْتِهِ، هُوَ وَاللّاوِيُّ وَالْغَرِيبُ الْمُقِيمُ بَيْنَكُمْ.

12 When thou hast made an end of tithing all the tithes of thine increase the third year, [which is] the year of tithing, and hast given [it] unto the Levite, the stranger, the fatherless, and the widow, that they may eat within thy gates, and be filled;

١٢ وَمَتَى انْتَهَيْتَ مِنْ تَقْدِيمِ كُلِّ عُشُورِ غَلّاتِكَ فِي السَّنَةِ الثَّالِثَةِ، سَنَةِ الْعُشُورِ، وَأَعْطَيْتَ اللّاوِيَّ وَالْغَرِيبَ وَالْيَتِيمَ وَالأَرْمَلَةَ فَأَكَلُوا فِي مَدِينَتِكَ وَشَبِعُوا،

13 Then thou shalt say before the LORD thy God, I have brought away the hallowed things out of [mine] house, and also have given them unto the Levite, and unto the stranger, to the fatherless, and to the widow, according to all thy commandments which thou hast commanded me: I have not transgressed thy commandments, neither have I forgotten [them: ]

١٣ تَقُولُ فِي حَضْرَةِ الرَّبِّ إِلَهِكَ: قَدْ افْرَزْتُ مِنْ بَيْتِي الْعُشُورَ الْمُقَدَّسَةَ وَأَعْطَيْتُهَا لِلّاوِيِّ وَالْغَرِيبِ وَالْيَتِيمِ وَالأَرْمَلَةِ، طَاعَةً لِوَصِيَّتِكَ الَّتِي أَمَرْتَنِي بِها، فَلَمْ أَتَجَاوَزْ وَصَايَاكَ وَلا نَسِيتُهَا.

14 I have not eaten thereof in my mourning, neither have I taken away [ought] thereof for [any] unclean [use], nor given [ought] thereof for the dead: [but] I have hearkened to the voice of the LORD my God, [and] have done according to all that thou hast commanded me.

١٤ لَمْ أَتَنَاوَلْ مِنْهُ فِي أَثْنَاءِ حُزْنِي، وَلَمْ آخُذْ مِنْهُ وَأَنَا فِي حَالَةِ نَجَاسَةٍ، وَلا أَعْطَيْتُ مِنْهُ لأَجْلِ مَيْتٍ. بَلْ أَطَعْتُ صَوْتَ إِلَهِي وَعَمِلْتُ بِمْوُجِبِ كُلِّ مَا أَوْصَيْتَنِي بِهِ.

15 Look down from thy holy habitation, from heaven, and bless thy people Israel, and the land which thou hast given us, as thou swarest unto our fathers, a land that floweth with milk and honey.

١٥ أَشْرِفْ يَا رَبُّ مِنْ مَسْكَنِكَ الْمُقَدَّسِ فِي السَّمَاءِ، وَبَارِكْ شَعْبَكَ إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَالأَرْضَ الَّتِي تَفِيضُ لَبَناً وَعَسَلاً، الَّتِي وَهَبْتَهَا لَنَا كَمَا حَلَفْتَ لِآبَائِنَا.

16 This day the LORD thy God hath commanded thee to do these statutes and judgments: thou shalt therefore keep and do them with all thine heart, and with all thy soul.

١٦ لَقَدْ أَمَرَكُمُ الرَّبُّ إِلَهُكُمْ فِي هَذَا الْيَوْمِ أَنْ تُمَارِسُوا هَذِهِ الْفَرَائِضَ وَالأَحْكَامَ، فَأَطِيعُوا، وَاعْمَلُوا بِها مِنْ كُلِّ قُلُوبِكُمْ وَمِنْ كُلِّ نُفُوسِكُمْ،

17 Thou hast avouched the LORD this day to be thy God, and to walk in his ways, and to keep his statutes, and his commandments, and his judgments, and to hearken unto his voice:

١٧ فَأَنْتُمْ قَدْ أَعْلَنْتُمُ الْيَوْمَ أَنَّ الرَّبَّ إِلَهُكُمْ وَأَنَّكُمْ سَتَسْلُكُونَ فِي سُبُلِهِ وَتُطِيعُونَ فَرَائِضَهُ وَأَحْكَامَهُ وَتَسْمَعُونَ لِصَوْتِهِ

18 And the LORD hath avouched thee this day to be his peculiar people, as he hath promised thee, and that [thou] shouldest keep all his commandments;

١٨ كَمَا أَعْلَنَ الرَّبُّ الْيَوْمَ أَنَّكُمْ تَكُونُونَ لَهُ شَعْباً خَاصّاً، حَسَبَ وَعْدِهِ لَكُمْ، وَأَنَّ عَلَيْكُمْ طَاعَةَ وَصَايَاهُ جَمِيعِهَا،

19 And to make thee high above all nations which he hath made, in praise, and in name, and in honour; and that thou mayest be an holy people unto the LORD thy God, as he hath spoken.

١٩ فَيَجْعَلَكُمْ أَسْمَى مِنْ كُلِّ الأُمَمِ الَّتِي خَلَقَهَا مِنْ حَيْثُ الثَّنَاءِ وَالشَّرَفِ وَالْمَجْدِ، وَتَكُونُوا شَعْباً مُقَدَّساً لِلرَّبِّ إِلَهِكُمْ كَمَا وَعَدَ».
