< Deuteronomy 32 >

1 Attend, O heaven, and I will speak; and let the earth hear the words out of my mouth.
«أَصْغِي أَيَّتُهَا السَّمَاوَاتُ فَأَتَكَلَّمَ وَلْتُنْصِتِ الأَرْضُ إِلَى أَقْوَالِ فَمِي.١
2 Let my speech be looked for as the rain, and my words come down as dew, as the shower upon the herbage, and as snow upon the grass.
لِيَنْهَمِرْ تَعْلِيمِي كَالْمَطَرِ، وَلْيَقْطُرْ كَلامِي، فَيَكُونَ كَالطَّلِّ عَلَى الْكَلأ وَكَالْغَيْثِ عَلَى الْعُشْبِ.٢
3 For I have called on the name of the Lord: assign you greatness to our God.
بِاسْمِ الرَّبِّ أَدْعُو، فَمَجِّدُوا عَظَمَةَ إِلَهِنَا.٣
4 [As for God], his works [are] true, and all his ways [are] judgment: God [is] faithful, and there is no unrighteousness [in him]; just and holy [is] the Lord.
هُوَ الصَّخْرُ، وَصَنَائِعُهُ كُلُّهَا كَامِلَةٌ، سُبُلُهُ جَمِيعُهَا عَدْلٌ. هُوَ إِلَهُ أَمَانَةٍ لَا يَرْتَكِبُ جَوْراً، صِدِّيقٌ وَعَادِلٌ هُوَ.٤
5 They have sinned, not [pleasing] him; spotted children, a froward and perverse generation.
لَقَدِ اقْتَرَفُوا الْفَسَادَ أَمَامَهُ، وَلَمْ يَعُودُوا لَهُ أَبْنَاءً بَلْ لَطْخَةَ عَارٍ، إِنَّهُمْ جِيلٌ أَعْوَجُ وَمُلْتَوٍ٥
6 Do you thus recompense the Lord? [is the] people thus foolish and unwise? did not he himself your father purchase you, and make you, and form you?
أَبِهَذَا تُكَافِئُونَ الرَّبَّ أَيُّهَا الشَّعْبُ الأَحْمَقُ الْغَبِيُّ؟ أَلَيْسَ هُوَ أَبَاكُمْ وَخَالِقَكُمُ الَّذِي عَمِلَكُمْ وَكَوَّنَكُمْ؟٦
7 Remember the days of old, consider the years for past ages: ask your father, and he shall relate to you, your elders, and they shall tell you.
اذْكُرُوا الأَيَّامَ الْغَابِرَةَ، وَتَأَمَّلُوا فِي سَنَوَاتِ الأَجْيَالِ الْمَاضِيَةِ. اسْأَلُوا آبَاءَكُمْ فَيُنْبِئُوكُمْ، وَشُيُوخَكُمْ فَيُخْبِرُوكُمْ.٧
8 When the Most High divided the nations, when he separated the sons of Adam, he set the bounds of the nations according to the number of the angels of God.
عِنْدَمَا قَسَمَ الْعَلِيُّ الْمِيرَاثَ عَلَى الأُمَمِ، وَحِينَ فَرَّقَ بَنِي آدَمَ، أَقَامَ حُدُوداً لِلشُّعُوبِ عَلَى عَدَدِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ،٨
9 And his people Jacob became the portion of the Lord, Israel was the line of his inheritance.
لأَنَّ نَصِيبَ الرَّبِّ هُوَ شَعْبُهُ، وَأَبْنَاءَ يَعْقُوبَ قُرْعَةُ مِيرَاثِهِ.٩
10 He maintained him in the wilderness, in burning thirst and a dry land: he led him about and instructed him, and kept him as the apple of an eye.
وَجَدَهُمْ فِي أَرْضٍ قَفْرٍ وَفِي خَلاءٍ مُوْحِشٍ. فَأَحَاطَ بِهِمْ وَرَعَاهُمْ وَصَانَهُمْ كَحَدَقَةِ عَيْنِهِ.١٠
11 As an eagle would watch over his brood, and yearns over his young, receives them having spread his wings, and takes them up on his back:
وَكَمَا يَهُزُّ النَّسْرُ عُشَّهُ، وَيَرُفُّ عَلَى فِرَاخِهِ، بَاسِطاً جَنَاحَيْهِ لِيَأْخُذَهَا وَيَحْمِلَهَا عَلَى مِنْكَبَيْهِ،١١
12 the Lord alone led them, there was no strange god with them.
هَكَذَا الرَّبُّ وَحْدَهُ قَادَ شَعْبَهُ، وَلَيْسَ مَعَهُ إِلَهٌ غَرِيبٌ.١٢
13 He brought them up on the strength of the land; he fed them with the fruits of the fields; they sucked honey out of the rock, and oil out of the solid rock.
أَصْعَدَهُمْ عَلَى هِضَابِ الأَرْضِ فَأَكَلُوا ثِمَارَ الصَّحْرَاءِ، وَغَذَّاهُمْ بِعَسَلٍ مِنْ صَخْرٍ، وَزَيْتٍ مِنْ حَجَرِ الصَّوَّانِ،١٣
14 Butter of cows, and milk of sheep, with the fat of lambs and rams, of calves and kids, with fat of kidneys of wheat; and he drank wine, the blood of the grape.
وَزُبْدَةِ الْبَقَرِ وَلَبَنِ الْغَنَمِ وَشَحْمِ خِرَافٍ وَتُيُوسٍ وَخِيَارِ كِبَاشِ بَاشَانَ، وَأَفْضَلِ لُبِّ الْحِنْطَةِ، وَسَقَاهُمْ دَمَ الْعِنَبِ الْقَانِي.١٤
15 So Jacob ate and was filled, and the beloved one kicked; he grew fat, he became thick and broad: then he forsook the God that made him, and departed from God his Saviour.
فَسَمِنَ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ وَرَفَسُوا، سَمِنُوا وَغَلُظُوا وَاكْتَسَوْا شَحْماً، فَرَفَضُوا الإِلَهَ صَانِعَهُمْ وَتَنَكَّرُوا لِصَخْرَةِ خَلاصِهِمْ.١٥
16 They provoked me to anger with strange gods; with their abominations they bitterly angered me.
أَثَارُوا غَيْرَتَهُ بِآلِهَتِهِمِ الْغَرِيبَةِ، وَأَغَاظُوهُ بِأَصْنَامِهِمِ الرِّجْسَةِ.١٦
17 They sacrificed to devils, and not to God; to gods whom they knew not: new and fresh [gods] came in, whom their fathers knew not.
قَدَّمُوا مُحْرَقَاتٍ لأَوْثَانٍ لَيْسَتْ هِيَ اللهَ، لِآلِهَةٍ غَرِيبَةٍ لَمْ يَعْرِفُوهَا بَلْ ظَهَرَتْ حَدِيثاً، آلِهَةٍ لَمْ يَرْهَبْهَا آبَاؤُهُمْ مِنْ قَبْلُ.١٧
18 You have forsaken God that begot you, and forgotten God who feeds you.
لَقَدْ نَبَذْتُمُ الصَّخْرَ الَّذِي أَنْجَبَكُمْ، وَنَسِيتُمُ اللهَ الَّذِي أَنْشَأَكُمْ.١٨
19 And the Lord saw, and was jealous; and was provoked by the anger of his sons and daughters,
فَرَأَى الرَّبُّ ذَلِكَ وَرَذَلَهُمْ، إِذْ أَثَارَ أَبْنَاؤُهُ وَبَنَاتُهُ غَيْظَهُ.١٩
20 and said, I will turn away my face from them, and will show what shall happen to them in the last days; for it is a perverse generation, sons in whom is no faith.
وَقَالَ: سَأَحْجُبُ وَجْهِي عَنْهُمْ، فَأَرَى مَاذَا يَكُونُ مَصِيرُهُمْ؟ إِنَّهُمْ جِيلٌ مُتَقَلِّبٌ وَأَوْلادٌ خَوَنَةٌ،٢٠
21 They have provoked me to jealousy with [that which is] not God, they have exasperated me with their idols; and I will provoke them to jealousy with them that are no nation, I will anger them with a nation void of understanding.
هَيَّجُوا غَيْرَتِي بِعِبَادَةِ أَوْثَانِهِمْ، وَأَسْخَطُونِي بِأَصْنَامِهِمِ الْبَاطِلَةِ. لِذَلِكَ سَأُثِيرُ غَيْرَتَهُمْ بِشَعْبٍ مُتَوَحِّشٍ، وَأُغِيظُهُمْ بِأُمَّةٍ حَمْقَاءَ.٢١
22 For a fire has been kindled out of my wrath, it shall burn to hell below; it shall devour the land, and the fruits of it; it shall set on fire the foundations of the mountains. (Sheol h7585)
فَهَا قَدْ أَضْرَمَ غَضَبِي نَاراً تُحْرِقُ حَتَّى الْهَاوِيَةِ السُّفْلَى، وَتَأْكُلُ الأَرْضَ وَغَلّاتِهَا، وَتُشْعِلُ أُسُسَ الْجِبَالِ. (Sheol h7585)٢٢
23 I will gather evils upon them, and will fight with my weapons against them.
أُكَوِّمُ عَلَيْهِمْ شُرُوراً وَأُنْفِذُ سِهَامِي فِيهِمْ.٢٣
24 [They shall be] consumed with hunger and the devouring of birds, and there shall be irremediable destruction: I will send forth against them the teeth of wild beasts, with the rage of [serpents] creeping on the ground.
وَحِينَ يَكُونُونَ خَائِرِينَ مِنَ الْجُوعِ، مَنْهُوكِينَ مِنَ الْحُمَّى وَالدَّاءِ السَّامِّ، أَجْعَلُ أَنْيَابَ الْوُحُوشِ مَعَ سُمِّ زَوَاحِفِ الأَرْضِ تَنْشَبُ فِيهِمْ.٢٤
25 Without, the sword shall bereave them of children, and terror [shall issue] out of the secret chambers; the young man shall perish with the virgin, the suckling with him who has grown old.
يُثْكِلُهُمْ سَيْفُ الْعَدُوِّ فِي الطَّرِيقِ، وَيَسْتَوْلِي عَلَيْهِم الرُّعْبُ دَاخِلَ الْخُدُورِ، فَيَهْلِكُ الْفَتَى مَعَ الْفَتَاةِ، وَالرَّضِيعُ مَعَ الشَّيْخِ.٢٥
26 I said, I will scatter them, and I will cause their memorial to cease from among men.
قُلْتُ: أُشَتِّتُهُمْ فِي زَوَايَا الأَرْضِ، وَأَمْحُو مِنْ بَيْنِ النَّاسِ ذِكْرَهُمْ.٢٦
27 Were it not for the wrath of the enemy, lest they should live long, lest their enemies should combine against them; lest they should say, Our own high arm, and not the Lord, has done all these things.
لَوْلا خَوْفِي مِنْ تَبَجُّحِ الْعَدُوِّ، إِذْ يَظُنُّونَ قَائِلِينَ: إِنَّ يَدَنَا قَدْ عَظُمَتْ، وَلَيْسَ مَا جَرَى هُوَ مِنْ فِعْلِ الرَّبِّ.٢٧
28 It is a nation that has lost counsel, neither is there understanding in them.
إِنَّ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ أُمَّةٌ غَبِيَّةٌ لَا بَصِيرَةَ فِيهَا.٢٨
29 They had not sense to understand: let them reserve these things against the time to come.
لَوْ عَقَلُوا لَفَطِنُوا لِمَآلِهِمْ وَتَأَمَّلُوا فِي مَصِيرِهِمْ،٢٩
30 How should one pursue a thousand, and two rout tens of thousands, if God had not sold them, and the Lord delivered them up?
إِذْ كَيْفَ يَدْحَرُ وَاحِدٌ أَلْفاً، وَيَهْزِمُ اثْنَانِ مِنْ أَعْدَائِهِمْ عَشَرَةَ آلافٍ مِنْهُمْ، لَوْلا أَنَّ صَخْرَهُمْ قَدْ هَجَرَهُمْ وَالرَّبَّ قَدْ سَلَّمَهُمْ؟٣٠
31 For their gods are not as our God, but our enemies [are] void of understanding.
لأَنْ لَيْسَ صَخْرُهُمْ كَصَخْرِنَا، وَهَذَا مَا يُقِرُّ بِهِ أَعْدَاؤُنَا.٣١
32 For their vine [is] of the vine of Sodom, and their vine-branch of Gomorrha: their grape [is] a grape of gall, their cluster [is] one of bitterness.
إِذْ إِنَّ كَرْمَتَهُمْ هِيَ مِنْ كَرْمَةِ سَدُومَ وَمِنْ حُقُولِ عَمُورَةَ. وَعِنَبَهُمْ يَنْضَحُ سُمّاً، وَعَنَاقِيدَهُمْ تَفِيضُ مَرَارَةً.٣٢
33 Their wine [is] the rage of serpents, and the incurable rage of asps.
خَمْرُهُمْ حُمَةُ الأَفَاعِي وَسُمُّ الثَّعَابِينِ الْمُمِيتُ.٣٣
34 Behold! are not these things stored up by me, and sealed among my treasures?
أَلَيْسَ هَذَا مُدَّخَراً عِنْدِي مَخْتُوماً عَلَيْهِ فِي خَزَائِنِي؟٣٤
35 In the day of vengeance I will recompense, whenever their foot shall be tripped up; for the day of their destruction [is] near to them, and the judgments at hand are close upon you.
لِيَ النَّقْمَةُ وَأَنَا أُجَازِي. وَفِي الْوَقْتِ الْمُعَيَّنِ تَزِلُّ أَقْدَامُهُمْ فَيَوْمُ هَلاكِهِمْ بَاتَ وَشِيكاً، وَمَصِيرُهُمُ الْمَحْتُومُ يُسْرِعُ إِلَيْهِمْ،٣٥
36 For the Lord shall judge his people, and shall be comforted over his servants; for he saw that they were utterly weakened, and failed in the hostile invasion, and were become feeble:
لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ يَدِينُ شَعْبَهُ وَيَرْأَفُ بِعَبِيدِهِ. عِنْدَمَا يَرَى أَنَّ قُوَّتَهُمْ قَدِ اضْمَحَلَّتْ وَلَمْ يَبْقَ عَبْدٌ وَلا حُرٌّ،٣٦
37 and the Lord said, Where are their gods on whom they trusted?
عِنْدَئِذٍ يَسْأَلُ الرَّبُّ: أَيْنَ آلِهَتُهُمْ؟ أَيْنَ الصَّخْرَةُ الَّتِي الْتَجَأُوا إِلَيْهَا؟٣٧
38 the fat of whose sacrifices you ate, and you drank the wine of their drink-offerings? let them arise and help you, and be your protectors.
الَّتِي كَانَتْ تَلْتَهِمُ شَحْمَ ذَبَائِحِهِمْ وَتَشْرَبُ خَمْرَ سَكَائِبِهِمْ؟ لِتَهُبَّ لِمُسَاعَدَتِهِمْ وَتَبْسُطَ عَلَيْهِمْ حِمَايَتَهَا.٣٨
39 Behold, behold that I am [he], and there is no god beside me: I kill, and I will make to live: I will strike, and I will heal; and there is none who shall deliver out of my hands.
انْظُرُوا الآنَ: إِنِّي أَنَا هُوَ وَلَيْسَ إِلَهٌ آخَرُ مَعِي. أَنَا أُمِيتُ وَأُحْيِي، أَسْحَقُ وَأَشْفِي، وَلا مُنْقِذَ مِنْ يَدِي.٣٩
40 For I will lift up my hand to heaven, and swear by my right hand, and I will say, I live for ever.
أَبْسُطُ يَدِي نَحْوَ السَّمَاءِ قَائِلاً: حَيٌّ أَنَا إِلَى الأَبَدِ.٤٠
41 For I will sharpen my sword like lightning, and my hand shall take hold of judgment; and I will render judgment to my enemies, and will recompense them that hate me.
إِذَا سَنَنْتُ سَيْفِي الْبَارِقَ وَأَمْسَكَتْ بِهِ يَدِي لِلْقَضَاءِ، فَإِنِّي أَنْتَقِمُ مِنْ أَعْدَائِي، وَأُجَازِي مُبْغِضِيَّ.٤١
42 I will make my weapons drunk with blood, and my sword shall devour flesh, [it shall glut itself] with the blood of the wounded, and from the captivity of the heads of [their] enemies that rule over them.
أُسْكِرُ سِهَامِي بِالدَّمِ وَيَلْتَهِمُ سَيْفِي لَحْماً، مِنْ دَمِ الْقَتْلَى وَالسَّبَايَا وَرُؤُوسِ قَادَةِ الْعَدُوِّ.٤٢
43 Rejoice, you heavens, with him, and let all the angels of God worship him; rejoice you Gentiles, with his people, and let all the sons of God strengthen themselves in him; for he will avenge the blood of his sons, and he will render vengeance, and recompense justice to his enemies, and will reward them that hate him; and the Lord shall purge the land of his people.
تَهَلَّلِي أَيَّتُهَا الأُمَمُ مَعَ شَعْبِهِ، لأَنَّهُ سَيَنْتَقِمُ لِدِمَاءِ عَبِيدِهِ وَيَثْأَرُ مِنْ أَعْدَائِهِ وَيَصْفَحُ عَنْ أَرْضِهِ وَعَنْ شَعْبِهِ».٤٣
44 And Moses wrote this song in that day, and taught it to the children of Israel; and Moses went in and spoke all the words of this law in the ears of the people, he and Joshua the [son] of Naue.
وَأَقْبَلَ مُوسَى وَيَشُوعُ بْنُ نُونَ وَقَرَآ كَلِمَاتِ هَذَا النَّشِيدِ جَمِيعَهَا فِي مَسَامِعِ الشَّعْبِ.٤٤
45 And Moses finished speaking to all Israel.
وَعِنْدَمَا انْتَهَى مُوسَى مِنْ تِلاوَةِ جَمِيعِ كَلِمَاتِ أَبْيَاتِ هَذَا النَّشِيدِ عَلَى الإِسْرَائِيلِيِّينَ،٤٥
46 And he said to them, Take heed with your heart to all these words, which I testify to you this day, which you shall command your sons, to observe and do all the words of this law.
قَالَ لَهُمْ: «تَأَمَّلُوا بِقُلُوبِكُمْ فِي جَمِيعِ هَذِهِ الْكَلِمَاتِ الَّتِي أَنَا أَشْهَدُ عَلَيْكُمْ بِها الْيَوْمَ، لِكَيْ تُوصُوا بِها أَوْلادَكُمْ، لِيَحْرِصُوا عَلَى الْعَمَلِ بِكَلِمَاتِ هَذِهِ التَّوْرَاةِ كُلِّهَا.٤٦
47 For this [is] no vain word to you; for it [is] your life, and because of this word you shall live long upon the land, into which you go over Jordan to inherit it.
لأَنَّهَا لَيْسَتْ كَلِمَاتٍ لَا جَدْوَى لَكُمْ مِنْهَا. إِنَّهَا حَيَاتُكُمْ وَبِهَا تَعِيشُونَ طَوِيلاً فِي الأَرْضِ الَّتِي أَنْتُمْ عَابِرُونَ نَهْرَ الأُرْدُنِّ إِلَيْهَا لِتَرِثُوهَا».٤٧
48 And the Lord spoke to Moses in this day, saying,
وَقَالَ الرَّبُّ لِمُوسَى فِي نَفْسِ ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ:٤٨
49 Go up to the mount Abarim, this mountain Nabau which is in the land of Moab over against Jericho, and behold the land of Chanaan, which I give to the sons of Israel:
«اصْعَدْ إِلَى سِلْسِلَةِ جِبَالِ عَبَارِيمَ حَيْثُ جَبَلُ نَبُو الَّذِي فِي أَرْضِ مُوآبَ مُقَابِلَ أَرِيحَا، وَشَاهِدْ أَرْضَ كَنْعَانَ الَّتِي أَنَا وَاهِبُهَا مُلْكاً لِبَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ.٤٩
50 and die in the mount whither you go up, and be added to your people; as Aaron your brother died in mount Or, and was added to his people.
وَمُتْ فِي الْجَبَلِ الَّذِي تَصْعَدُ إِلَيْهِ، وَالْحَقْ بِقَوْمِكَ كَمَا مَاتَ أَخُوكَ هَرُونُ فِي جَبَلِ هُورٍ وَلَحِقَ بِقَوْمِهِ.٥٠
51 Because you disobeyed my word among the children of Israel, at the waters of strife of Cades in the wilderness of Sin; because you sanctified me not among the sons of Israel.
لأَنَّكُمَا لَمْ تَثِقَا بِي فِي حُضُورِ الإِسْرَائِيلِيِّينَ عِنْدَ مَاءِ مَرِيبَةِ قَادِشَ فِي بَرِّيَّةِ صِينٍ، إِذْ لَمْ تُقَدِّسَانِي بَيْنَ الشَّعْبِ.٥١
52 You shall see the land before [you], but you shall not enter into it.
لِهَذَا فَإِنَّكَ تَشْهَدُ الأَرْضَ عَنْ بُعْدٍ، وَلَكِنَّكَ لَنْ تَدْخُلَ إِلَى الأَرْضِ الَّتِي أَهَبُهَا لِبَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ».٥٢
