Deuteronomy 32

1 Give ear, you heavens, and I will speak. Let the earth hear the words of my mouth.

١ «أَصْغِي أَيَّتُهَا السَّمَاوَاتُ فَأَتَكَلَّمَ وَلْتُنْصِتِ الأَرْضُ إِلَى أَقْوَالِ فَمِي.

2 My doctrine shall drop as the rain. My speech shall condense as the dew, as the small rain on the tender grass, as the showers on the herb.

٢ لِيَنْهَمِرْ تَعْلِيمِي كَالْمَطَرِ، وَلْيَقْطُرْ كَلامِي، فَيَكُونَ كَالطَّلِّ عَلَى الْكَلأ وَكَالْغَيْثِ عَلَى الْعُشْبِ.

3 For I will proclaim the name of the LORD. Ascribe greatness to our God.

٣ بِاسْمِ الرَّبِّ أَدْعُو، فَمَجِّدُوا عَظَمَةَ إِلَهِنَا.

4 The Rock, his work is perfect, for all his ways are justice. A faithful God and without iniquity, just and right is he.

٤ هُوَ الصَّخْرُ، وَصَنَائِعُهُ كُلُّهَا كَامِلَةٌ، سُبُلُهُ جَمِيعُهَا عَدْلٌ. هُوَ إِلَهُ أَمَانَةٍ لَا يَرْتَكِبُ جَوْراً، صِدِّيقٌ وَعَادِلٌ هُوَ.

5 They have dealt corruptly with him. They are not his children, because of their defect. They are a perverse and crooked generation.

٥ لَقَدِ اقْتَرَفُوا الْفَسَادَ أَمَامَهُ، وَلَمْ يَعُودُوا لَهُ أَبْنَاءً بَلْ لَطْخَةَ عَارٍ، إِنَّهُمْ جِيلٌ أَعْوَجُ وَمُلْتَوٍ

6 Do you thus requite the LORD, foolish people and unwise? Isn't he your father who has bought you? He has made you, and established you.

٦ أَبِهَذَا تُكَافِئُونَ الرَّبَّ أَيُّهَا الشَّعْبُ الأَحْمَقُ الْغَبِيُّ؟ أَلَيْسَ هُوَ أَبَاكُمْ وَخَالِقَكُمُ الَّذِي عَمِلَكُمْ وَكَوَّنَكُمْ؟

7 Remember the days of old. Consider the years of many generations. Ask your father, and he will show you; your elders, and they will tell you.

٧ اذْكُرُوا الأَيَّامَ الْغَابِرَةَ، وَتَأَمَّلُوا فِي سَنَوَاتِ الأَجْيَالِ الْمَاضِيَةِ. اسْأَلُوا آبَاءَكُمْ فَيُنْبِئُوكُمْ، وَشُيُوخَكُمْ فَيُخْبِرُوكُمْ.

8 When the Most High gave to the nations their inheritance, when he divided humankind, he set the bounds of the peoples according to the number of the sons of God.

٨ عِنْدَمَا قَسَمَ الْعَلِيُّ الْمِيرَاثَ عَلَى الأُمَمِ، وَحِينَ فَرَّقَ بَنِي آدَمَ، أَقَامَ حُدُوداً لِلشُّعُوبِ عَلَى عَدَدِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ،

9 For the LORD's portion is his people. Jacob is the lot of his inheritance.

٩ لأَنَّ نَصِيبَ الرَّبِّ هُوَ شَعْبُهُ، وَأَبْنَاءَ يَعْقُوبَ قُرْعَةُ مِيرَاثِهِ.

10 He found him in a desert land, in the waste howling wilderness. He surrounded him. He cared for him. He kept him as the apple of his eye.

١٠ وَجَدَهُمْ فِي أَرْضٍ قَفْرٍ وَفِي خَلاءٍ مُوْحِشٍ. فَأَحَاطَ بِهِمْ وَرَعَاهُمْ وَصَانَهُمْ كَحَدَقَةِ عَيْنِهِ.

11 As an eagle that stirs up her nest, that flutters over her young, he spread abroad his wings, he took them, he bore them on his feathers.

١١ وَكَمَا يَهُزُّ النَّسْرُ عُشَّهُ، وَيَرُفُّ عَلَى فِرَاخِهِ، بَاسِطاً جَنَاحَيْهِ لِيَأْخُذَهَا وَيَحْمِلَهَا عَلَى مِنْكَبَيْهِ،

12 The LORD alone led him. There was no foreign god with him.

١٢ هَكَذَا الرَّبُّ وَحْدَهُ قَادَ شَعْبَهُ، وَلَيْسَ مَعَهُ إِلَهٌ غَرِيبٌ.

13 He made him ride on the high places of the earth. He ate the increase of the field. He caused him to suck honey out of the rock, oil out of the flinty rock;

١٣ أَصْعَدَهُمْ عَلَى هِضَابِ الأَرْضِ فَأَكَلُوا ثِمَارَ الصَّحْرَاءِ، وَغَذَّاهُمْ بِعَسَلٍ مِنْ صَخْرٍ، وَزَيْتٍ مِنْ حَجَرِ الصَّوَّانِ،

14 Butter of the herd, and milk of the flock, with fat of lambs, rams of the breed of Bashan, and goats, with the finest of the wheat. Of the blood of the grape you drank wine.

١٤ وَزُبْدَةِ الْبَقَرِ وَلَبَنِ الْغَنَمِ وَشَحْمِ خِرَافٍ وَتُيُوسٍ وَخِيَارِ كِبَاشِ بَاشَانَ، وَأَفْضَلِ لُبِّ الْحِنْطَةِ، وَسَقَاهُمْ دَمَ الْعِنَبِ الْقَانِي.

15 But Jacob ate his fill. Jeshurun grew fat, and kicked. You have grown fat. You have grown thick. You have become sleek. Then he forsook God who made him, and lightly esteemed the Rock of his salvation.

١٥ فَسَمِنَ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ وَرَفَسُوا، سَمِنُوا وَغَلُظُوا وَاكْتَسَوْا شَحْماً، فَرَفَضُوا الإِلَهَ صَانِعَهُمْ وَتَنَكَّرُوا لِصَخْرَةِ خَلاصِهِمْ.

16 They moved him to jealousy with strange gods. They provoked him to anger with abominations.

١٦ أَثَارُوا غَيْرَتَهُ بِآلِهَتِهِمِ الْغَرِيبَةِ، وَأَغَاظُوهُ بِأَصْنَامِهِمِ الرِّجْسَةِ.

17 They sacrificed to demons, not God, to gods that they did not know, to new gods that came up recently, which your fathers did not dread.

١٧ قَدَّمُوا مُحْرَقَاتٍ لأَوْثَانٍ لَيْسَتْ هِيَ اللهَ، لِآلِهَةٍ غَرِيبَةٍ لَمْ يَعْرِفُوهَا بَلْ ظَهَرَتْ حَدِيثاً، آلِهَةٍ لَمْ يَرْهَبْهَا آبَاؤُهُمْ مِنْ قَبْلُ.

18 the Rock who fathered you, you are unmindful, and have forgotten God who gave you birth.

١٨ لَقَدْ نَبَذْتُمُ الصَّخْرَ الَّذِي أَنْجَبَكُمْ، وَنَسِيتُمُ اللهَ الَّذِي أَنْشَأَكُمْ.

19 The LORD saw and abhorred, because of the provocation of his sons and his daughters.

١٩ فَرَأَى الرَّبُّ ذَلِكَ وَرَذَلَهُمْ، إِذْ أَثَارَ أَبْنَاؤُهُ وَبَنَاتُهُ غَيْظَهُ.

20 He said, "I will hide my face from them. I will see what their end shall be; for they are a very perverse generation, children in whom is no faithfulness.

٢٠ وَقَالَ: سَأَحْجُبُ وَجْهِي عَنْهُمْ، فَأَرَى مَاذَا يَكُونُ مَصِيرُهُمْ؟ إِنَّهُمْ جِيلٌ مُتَقَلِّبٌ وَأَوْلادٌ خَوَنَةٌ،

21 They have moved me to jealousy with that which is not God. They have provoked me to anger with their vanities. I will move them to jealousy with those who are not a people. I will provoke them to anger with a foolish nation.

٢١ هَيَّجُوا غَيْرَتِي بِعِبَادَةِ أَوْثَانِهِمْ، وَأَسْخَطُونِي بِأَصْنَامِهِمِ الْبَاطِلَةِ. لِذَلِكَ سَأُثِيرُ غَيْرَتَهُمْ بِشَعْبٍ مُتَوَحِّشٍ، وَأُغِيظُهُمْ بِأُمَّةٍ حَمْقَاءَ.

22 For a fire is kindled in my anger, and burns to the lowest Sheol, and devours the earth with its increase, and sets the foundations of the mountains on fire. (Sheol h7585)

٢٢ فَهَا قَدْ أَضْرَمَ غَضَبِي نَاراً تُحْرِقُ حَتَّى الْهَاوِيَةِ السُّفْلَى، وَتَأْكُلُ الأَرْضَ وَغَلّاتِهَا، وَتُشْعِلُ أُسُسَ الْجِبَالِ. (Sheol h7585)

23 "I will heap evils on them. I will spend my arrows on them.

٢٣ أُكَوِّمُ عَلَيْهِمْ شُرُوراً وَأُنْفِذُ سِهَامِي فِيهِمْ.

24 They shall be wasted with hunger, and devoured with burning heat and bitter destruction. I will send the teeth of animals on them, With the poison of crawling creatures of the dust.

٢٤ وَحِينَ يَكُونُونَ خَائِرِينَ مِنَ الْجُوعِ، مَنْهُوكِينَ مِنَ الْحُمَّى وَالدَّاءِ السَّامِّ، أَجْعَلُ أَنْيَابَ الْوُحُوشِ مَعَ سُمِّ زَوَاحِفِ الأَرْضِ تَنْشَبُ فِيهِمْ.

25 Outside the sword shall bereave, and in the rooms, terror; on both young man and virgin, The nursing infant with the gray-haired man.

٢٥ يُثْكِلُهُمْ سَيْفُ الْعَدُوِّ فِي الطَّرِيقِ، وَيَسْتَوْلِي عَلَيْهِم الرُّعْبُ دَاخِلَ الْخُدُورِ، فَيَهْلِكُ الْفَتَى مَعَ الْفَتَاةِ، وَالرَّضِيعُ مَعَ الشَّيْخِ.

26 I said, I want to cut them to pieces. I will remove the memory of them from men;

٢٦ قُلْتُ: أُشَتِّتُهُمْ فِي زَوَايَا الأَرْضِ، وَأَمْحُو مِنْ بَيْنِ النَّاسِ ذِكْرَهُمْ.

27 were it not that I feared the provocation of the enemy, lest their adversaries should judge wrongly, lest they should say, 'Our hand is exalted, the LORD has not done all this.'"

٢٧ لَوْلا خَوْفِي مِنْ تَبَجُّحِ الْعَدُوِّ، إِذْ يَظُنُّونَ قَائِلِينَ: إِنَّ يَدَنَا قَدْ عَظُمَتْ، وَلَيْسَ مَا جَرَى هُوَ مِنْ فِعْلِ الرَّبِّ.

28 For they are a nation void of counsel. There is no understanding in them.

٢٨ إِنَّ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ أُمَّةٌ غَبِيَّةٌ لَا بَصِيرَةَ فِيهَا.

29 Oh that they were wise, that they understood this, that they would consider their latter end.

٢٩ لَوْ عَقَلُوا لَفَطِنُوا لِمَآلِهِمْ وَتَأَمَّلُوا فِي مَصِيرِهِمْ،

30 How could one chase a thousand, and two put ten thousand to flight, unless their Rock had sold them, and the LORD had delivered them up?

٣٠ إِذْ كَيْفَ يَدْحَرُ وَاحِدٌ أَلْفاً، وَيَهْزِمُ اثْنَانِ مِنْ أَعْدَائِهِمْ عَشَرَةَ آلافٍ مِنْهُمْ، لَوْلا أَنَّ صَخْرَهُمْ قَدْ هَجَرَهُمْ وَالرَّبَّ قَدْ سَلَّمَهُمْ؟

31 For their rock is not as our Rock, even our enemies themselves being judges.

٣١ لأَنْ لَيْسَ صَخْرُهُمْ كَصَخْرِنَا، وَهَذَا مَا يُقِرُّ بِهِ أَعْدَاؤُنَا.

32 For their vine is of the vine of Sodom, of the fields of Gomorrah. Their grapes are grapes of gall, Their clusters are bitter.

٣٢ إِذْ إِنَّ كَرْمَتَهُمْ هِيَ مِنْ كَرْمَةِ سَدُومَ وَمِنْ حُقُولِ عَمُورَةَ. وَعِنَبَهُمْ يَنْضَحُ سُمّاً، وَعَنَاقِيدَهُمْ تَفِيضُ مَرَارَةً.

33 Their wine is the poison of serpents, The cruel venom of asps.

٣٣ خَمْرُهُمْ حُمَةُ الأَفَاعِي وَسُمُّ الثَّعَابِينِ الْمُمِيتُ.

34 "Isn't this laid up in store with me, sealed up among my treasures?

٣٤ أَلَيْسَ هَذَا مُدَّخَراً عِنْدِي مَخْتُوماً عَلَيْهِ فِي خَزَائِنِي؟

35 Vengeance is mine, I will repay, at the time when their foot slides; for the day of their calamity is near, and the things to come hasten upon them."

٣٥ لِيَ النَّقْمَةُ وَأَنَا أُجَازِي. وَفِي الْوَقْتِ الْمُعَيَّنِ تَزِلُّ أَقْدَامُهُمْ فَيَوْمُ هَلاكِهِمْ بَاتَ وَشِيكاً، وَمَصِيرُهُمُ الْمَحْتُومُ يُسْرِعُ إِلَيْهِمْ،

36 For the LORD will judge his people, and have compassion on his servants, when he sees that their strength is gone and there is none remaining, confined or set free.

٣٦ لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ يَدِينُ شَعْبَهُ وَيَرْأَفُ بِعَبِيدِهِ. عِنْدَمَا يَرَى أَنَّ قُوَّتَهُمْ قَدِ اضْمَحَلَّتْ وَلَمْ يَبْقَ عَبْدٌ وَلا حُرٌّ،

37 And he will say, "Where are their gods, the rock in which they took refuge?

٣٧ عِنْدَئِذٍ يَسْأَلُ الرَّبُّ: أَيْنَ آلِهَتُهُمْ؟ أَيْنَ الصَّخْرَةُ الَّتِي الْتَجَأُوا إِلَيْهَا؟

38 Who ate the fat of their sacrifices and drank the wine of their drink offering? Let them rise up and help you. Let them be your protection.

٣٨ الَّتِي كَانَتْ تَلْتَهِمُ شَحْمَ ذَبَائِحِهِمْ وَتَشْرَبُ خَمْرَ سَكَائِبِهِمْ؟ لِتَهُبَّ لِمُسَاعَدَتِهِمْ وَتَبْسُطَ عَلَيْهِمْ حِمَايَتَهَا.

39 "See now that I, even I, am he, and there is no god besides me. I kill, and I make alive. I wound, and I heal; and there is no one who can deliver out of my hand.

٣٩ انْظُرُوا الآنَ: إِنِّي أَنَا هُوَ وَلَيْسَ إِلَهٌ آخَرُ مَعِي. أَنَا أُمِيتُ وَأُحْيِي، أَسْحَقُ وَأَشْفِي، وَلا مُنْقِذَ مِنْ يَدِي.

40 For I lift up my hand to heaven, and say, 'As I live forever,

٤٠ أَبْسُطُ يَدِي نَحْوَ السَّمَاءِ قَائِلاً: حَيٌّ أَنَا إِلَى الأَبَدِ.

41 if I sharpen my flashing sword and my hand takes hold on judgment; I will render vengeance to my adversaries, and will recompense those who hate me.

٤١ إِذَا سَنَنْتُ سَيْفِي الْبَارِقَ وَأَمْسَكَتْ بِهِ يَدِي لِلْقَضَاءِ، فَإِنِّي أَنْتَقِمُ مِنْ أَعْدَائِي، وَأُجَازِي مُبْغِضِيَّ.

42 I will make my arrows drunk with blood. My sword shall devour flesh with the blood of the slain and the captives, from the head of the leaders of the enemy.'"

٤٢ أُسْكِرُ سِهَامِي بِالدَّمِ وَيَلْتَهِمُ سَيْفِي لَحْماً، مِنْ دَمِ الْقَتْلَى وَالسَّبَايَا وَرُؤُوسِ قَادَةِ الْعَدُوِّ.

43 Rejoice, O heavens, with him, and let all the angels of God worship him. Rejoice, O nations, with his people, and let all the children of God strengthen themselves in him. For he will avenge the blood of his children, and he will render vengeance to his enemies, and he will recompense them that hate him, and he atones for the land of his people.

٤٣ تَهَلَّلِي أَيَّتُهَا الأُمَمُ مَعَ شَعْبِهِ، لأَنَّهُ سَيَنْتَقِمُ لِدِمَاءِ عَبِيدِهِ وَيَثْأَرُ مِنْ أَعْدَائِهِ وَيَصْفَحُ عَنْ أَرْضِهِ وَعَنْ شَعْبِهِ».

44 Moses came and spoke all the words of this song in the ears of the people, he and Joshua the son of Nun.

٤٤ وَأَقْبَلَ مُوسَى وَيَشُوعُ بْنُ نُونَ وَقَرَآ كَلِمَاتِ هَذَا النَّشِيدِ جَمِيعَهَا فِي مَسَامِعِ الشَّعْبِ.

45 Moses made an end of speaking all these words to all Israel;

٤٥ وَعِنْدَمَا انْتَهَى مُوسَى مِنْ تِلاوَةِ جَمِيعِ كَلِمَاتِ أَبْيَاتِ هَذَا النَّشِيدِ عَلَى الإِسْرَائِيلِيِّينَ،

46 He said to them, "Set your heart to all the words which I testify to you this day, which you shall command your children to observe to do, all the words of this law.

٤٦ 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.

47 For it is no vain thing for you; because it is your life, and through this thing you shall prolong your days in the land, where you go over the Jordan to possess it."

٤٧ لأَنَّهَا لَيْسَتْ كَلِمَاتٍ لَا جَدْوَى لَكُمْ مِنْهَا. إِنَّهَا حَيَاتُكُمْ وَبِهَا تَعِيشُونَ طَوِيلاً فِي الأَرْضِ الَّتِي أَنْتُمْ عَابِرُونَ نَهْرَ الأُرْدُنِّ إِلَيْهَا لِتَرِثُوهَا».

48 The LORD spoke to Moses that same day, saying,

٤٨ وَقَالَ الرَّبُّ لِمُوسَى فِي نَفْسِ ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ:

49 "Go up into this mountain of Abarim, to Mount Nebo, which is in the land of Moab, that is over against Jericho; and see the land of Canaan, which I give to the children of Israel for a possession;

٤٩ «اصْعَدْ إِلَى سِلْسِلَةِ جِبَالِ عَبَارِيمَ حَيْثُ جَبَلُ نَبُو الَّذِي فِي أَرْضِ مُوآبَ مُقَابِلَ أَرِيحَا، وَشَاهِدْ أَرْضَ كَنْعَانَ الَّتِي أَنَا وَاهِبُهَا مُلْكاً لِبَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ.

50 and die on the mountain where you go up, and be gathered to your people, as Aaron your brother died on Mount Hor, and was gathered to his people:

٥٠ وَمُتْ فِي الْجَبَلِ الَّذِي تَصْعَدُ إِلَيْهِ، وَالْحَقْ بِقَوْمِكَ كَمَا مَاتَ أَخُوكَ هَرُونُ فِي جَبَلِ هُورٍ وَلَحِقَ بِقَوْمِهِ.

51 because you trespassed against me in the midst of the children of Israel at the waters of Meribah of Kadesh, in the wilderness of Zin; because you did not sanctify me in the midst of the children of Israel.

٥١ لأَنَّكُمَا لَمْ تَثِقَا بِي فِي حُضُورِ الإِسْرَائِيلِيِّينَ عِنْدَ مَاءِ مَرِيبَةِ قَادِشَ فِي بَرِّيَّةِ صِينٍ، إِذْ لَمْ تُقَدِّسَانِي بَيْنَ الشَّعْبِ.

52 For you shall see the land before you; but you shall not go there into the land which I give the children of Israel."

٥٢ لِهَذَا فَإِنَّكَ تَشْهَدُ الأَرْضَ عَنْ بُعْدٍ، وَلَكِنَّكَ لَنْ تَدْخُلَ إِلَى الأَرْضِ الَّتِي أَهَبُهَا لِبَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ».
