Deuteronomy 7

1 When the LORD thy God shall bring thee into the land whither thou goest to possess it, and hath cast out many nations before thee, the Hittites, and the Girgashites, and the Amorites, and the Canaanites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites, 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 before thee; thou shalt smite them, [and] utterly destroy them; thou shalt make no covenant with them, nor shew 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 they 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 destroy thee suddenly.

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 destroy their altars, and break down their images, and cut down their groves, 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] an holy people unto the LORD thy God: the LORD thy God hath chosen thee to be a special people unto himself, above all people 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 people:

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 had sworn unto your fathers, hath the LORD brought you out with a mighty hand, and redeemed you out of the house of bondmen, 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, which 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 commandments, and the statutes, and the judgments, which I command thee this day, to do them.

١١ فَأَطِيعُوا الْوَصَايَا وَالْفَرَائِضَ وَالأَحْكَامَ الَّتِي أُوْصِيكُمْ بِها الْيَوْمَ لِتُمَارِسُوهَا.

12 Wherefore it shall come to pass, if ye hearken to these judgments, and keep, and do them, that the LORD thy God shall keep unto thee the covenant and the mercy which he sware 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 womb, and the fruit of thy land, thy corn, and thy wine, and thine oil, the increase of thy kine, and the flocks of thy sheep, in the land which he sware 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 people: 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 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 people which the LORD thy God shall deliver thee; thine eye shall have no pity upon 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 thine 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: [but] 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 temptations which thine eyes saw, and the signs, and the wonders, and the mighty hand, and the stretched out arm, whereby the LORD thy God brought thee out: so shall the LORD thy God do unto all the people 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 hide themselves from thee, be destroyed.

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] among you, a mighty God and terrible.

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

22 And the LORD thy God will put out those nations before thee by little and little: thou mayest not consume them at once, 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 unto thee, and shall destroy them with a mighty destruction, until they be destroyed.

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

24 And he shall deliver their kings into thine hand, and thou shalt destroy their name from under heaven: there shall no man be able to stand before 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 desire the silver or 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 Neither shalt thou bring an abomination into thine house, lest thou be a cursed thing like it: [but] thou shalt utterly detest it, and thou shalt utterly abhor it; for it [is] a cursed thing.

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