Deuteronomy 9
1 Hear, Israel: you are to pass over the Jordan this day, to go in to dispossess nations greater and mightier than yourself, cities great and fortified up to the sky,
| «اِسْمَعْ يَا إِسْرَائِيلُ، أَنْتَ ٱلْيَوْمَ عَابِرٌ ٱلْأُرْدُنَّ لِكَيْ تَدْخُلَ وَتَمْتَلِكَ شُعُوبًا أَكْبَرَ وَأَعْظَمَ مِنْكَ، وَمُدُنًا عَظِيمَةً وَمُحَصَّنَةً إِلَى ٱلسَّمَاءِ. | ١ |
2 a people great and tall, the sons of the Anakim, whom you know, and of whom you have heard say, "Who can stand before the sons of Anak?"
| قَوْمًا عِظَامًا وَطِوَالًا، بَنِي عَنَاقَ ٱلَّذِينَ عَرَفْتَهُمْ وَسَمِعْتَ: مَنْ يَقِفُ فِي وَجْهِ بَنِي عَنَاقَ؟ | ٢ |
3 Know therefore this day, that Jehovah your God is he who goes over before you as a devouring fire; he will destroy them, and he will bring them down before you: so you shall drive them out, and make them to perish quickly, as Jehovah has spoken to you.
| فَٱعْلَمِ ٱلْيَوْمَ أَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ إِلَهَكَ هُوَ ٱلْعَابِرُ أَمَامَكَ نَارًا آكِلَةً. هُوَ يُبِيدُهُمْ وَيُذِلُّهُمْ أَمَامَكَ، فَتَطْرُدُهُمْ وَتُهْلِكُهُمْ سَرِيعًا كَمَا كَلَّمَكَ ٱلرَّبُّ. | ٣ |
4 Do not say in your heart, after Jehovah your God has thrust them out from before you, saying, "For my righteousness Jehovah has brought me in to possess this land"; because Jehovah drives them out before you because of the wickedness of these nations.
| لَا تَقُلْ فِي قَلْبِكَ حِينَ يَنْفِيهِمِ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكَ مِنْ أَمَامِكَ قَائِلًا: لِأَجْلِ بِرِّي أَدْخَلَنِي ٱلرَّبُّ لِأَمْتَلِكَ هَذِهِ ٱلْأَرْضَ. وَلِأَجْلِ إِثْمِ هَؤُلَاءِ ٱلشُّعُوبِ يَطْرُدُهُمُ ٱلرَّبُّ مِنْ أَمَامِكَ. | ٤ |
5 Not for your righteousness, or for the uprightness of your heart, do you go in to possess their land; but for the wickedness of these nations Jehovah does drive them out from before you, and that he may establish the word which he swore to your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob.
| لَيْسَ لِأَجْلِ بِرِّكَ وَعَدَالَةِ قَلْبِكَ تَدْخُلُ لِتَمْتَلِكَ أَرْضَهُمْ، بَلْ لِأَجْلِ إِثْمِ أُولَئِكَ ٱلشُّعُوبِ يَطْرُدُهُمُ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكَ مِنْ أَمَامِكَ، وَلِكَيْ يَفِيَ بِٱلْكَلَامِ ٱلَّذِي أَقْسَمَ ٱلرَّبُّ عَلَيْهِ لِآبَائِكَ إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَإِسْحَاقَ وَيَعْقُوبَ. | ٥ |
6 Know therefore, that Jehovah your God doesn't give you this good land to possess it for your righteousness; for you are a stiff-necked people.
| فَٱعْلَمْ أَنَّهُ لَيْسَ لِأَجْلِ بِرِّكَ يُعْطِيكَ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكَ هَذِهِ ٱلْأَرْضَ ٱلْجَيِّدَةَ لِتَمْتَلِكَهَا، لِأَنَّكَ شَعْبٌ صُلْبُ ٱلرَّقَبَةِ. | ٦ |
7 Remember, do not forget, how you provoked Jehovah your God to wrath in the wilderness: from the day that you went forth out of the land of Egypt, until you came to this place, you have been rebellious against Jehovah.
| «اُذْكُرْ. لَا تَنْسَ كَيْفَ أَسْخَطْتَ ٱلرَّبَّ إِلَهَكَ فِي ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ. مِنَ ٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلَّذِي خَرَجْتَ فِيهِ مِنْ أَرْضِ مِصْرَ حَتَّى أَتَيْتُمْ إِلَى هَذَا ٱلْمَكَانِ كُنْتُمْ تُقَاوِمُونَ ٱلرَّبَّ. | ٧ |
8 Also in Horeb you provoked Jehovah to wrath, and Jehovah was angry with you to destroy you.
| حَتَّى فِي حُورِيبَ أَسْخَطْتُمُ ٱلرَّبَّ، فَغَضِبَ ٱلرَّبُّ عَلَيْكُمْ لِيُبِيدَكُمْ. | ٨ |
9 When I was gone up onto the mountain to receive the tablets of stone, even the tablets of the covenant which Jehovah made with you, then I stayed on the mountain forty days and forty nights; I neither ate bread nor drank water.
| حِينَ صَعِدْتُ إِلَى ٱلْجَبَلِ لِكَيْ آخُذَ لَوْحَيِ ٱلْحَجَرِ، لَوْحَيِ ٱلْعَهْدِ ٱلَّذِي قَطَعَهُ ٱلرَّبُّ مَعَكُمْ، أَقَمْتُ فِي ٱلْجَبَلِ أَرْبَعِينَ نَهَارًا وَأَرْبَعِينَ لَيْلَةً لَا آكُلُ خُبْزًا وَلَا أَشْرَبُ مَاءً. | ٩ |
10 Jehovah delivered to me the two tablets of stone written with the finger of God; and on them were all the words which Jehovah spoke with you on the mountain out of the midst of the fire in the day of the assembly.
| وَأَعْطَانِيَ ٱلرَّبُّ لَوْحَيِ ٱلْحَجَرِ ٱلْمَكْتُوبَيْنِ بِأَصَبِعِ ٱللهِ، وَعَلَيْهِمَا مِثْلُ جَمِيعِ ٱلْكَلِمَاتِ ٱلَّتِي كَلَّمَكُمْ بِهَا ٱلرَّبُّ فِي ٱلْجَبَلِ مِنْ وَسَطِ ٱلنَّارِ فِي يَوْمِ ٱلِٱجْتِمَاعِ. | ١٠ |
11 It came to pass at the end of forty days and forty nights, that Jehovah gave me the two tablets of stone, even the tablets of the covenant.
| وَفِي نِهَايَةِ ٱلْأَرْبَعِينَ نَهَارًا وَٱلْأَرْبَعِينَ لَيْلَةً، لَمَّا أَعْطَانِيَ ٱلرَّبُّ لَوْحَيِ ٱلْحَجَرِ، لَوْحَيِ ٱلْعَهْدِ، | ١١ |
12 Jehovah said to me, "Arise, get down quickly from here; for your people whom you have brought out of Egypt have corrupted themselves; they have quickly turned aside out of the way which I commanded them; they have made them a molten image."
| قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ لِي: قُمِ ٱنْزِلْ عَاجِلًا مِنْ هُنَا، لِأَنَّهُ قَدْ فَسَدَ شَعْبُكَ ٱلَّذِي أَخْرَجْتَهُ مِنْ مِصْرَ. زَاغُوا سَرِيعًا عَنِ ٱلطَّرِيقِ ٱلَّتِي أَوْصَيْتُهُمْ. صَنَعُوا لِأَنْفُسِهِمْ تِمْثَالًا مَسْبُوكًا. | ١٢ |
13 Furthermore Jehovah spoke to me, saying, "I have seen this people, and look, it is a stiff-necked people:
| وَكَلَّمَنِيَ ٱلرَّبُّ قَائِلًا: رَأَيْتُ هَذَا ٱلشَّعْبَ وَإِذَا هُوَ شَعْبٌ صُلْبُ ٱلرَّقَبَةِ. | ١٣ |
14 let me alone, that I may destroy them, and blot out their name from under the sky; and I will make of you a nation mightier and greater than they."
| اُتْرُكْنِي فَأُبِيدَهُمْ وَأَمْحُوَ ٱسْمَهُمْ مِنْ تَحْتِ ٱلسَّمَاءِ، وَأَجْعَلَكَ شَعْبًا أَعْظَمَ وَأَكْثَرَ مِنْهُمْ. | ١٤ |
15 So I turned and came down from the mountain, and the mountain was burning with fire: and the two tablets of the covenant were in my two hands.
| فَٱنْصَرَفْتُ وَنَزَلْتُ مِنَ ٱلْجَبَلِ، وَٱلْجَبَلُ يَشْتَعِلُ بِٱلنَّارِ، وَلَوْحَا ٱلْعَهْدِ فِي يَدَيَّ. | ١٥ |
16 I looked, and look, you had sinned against Jehovah your God; you had made yourselves a molten calf: you had turned aside quickly out of the way which Jehovah had commanded you.
| «فَنَظَرْتُ وَإِذَا أَنْتُمْ قَدْ أَخْطَأْتُمْ إِلَى ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِكُمْ، وَصَنَعْتُمْ لِأَنْفُسِكُمْ عِجْلًا مَسْبُوكًا، وَزُغْتُمْ سَرِيعًا عَنِ ٱلطَّرِيقِ ٱلَّتِي أَوْصَاكُمْ بِهَا ٱلرَّبُّ. | ١٦ |
17 I took hold of the two tablets, and cast them out of my two hands, and broke them before your eyes.
| فَأَخَذْتُ ٱللَّوْحَيْنِ وَطَرَحْتُهُمَا مِنْ يَدَيَّ وَكَسَّرْتُهُمَا أَمَامَ أَعْيُنِكُمْ. | ١٧ |
18 I fell down before Jehovah, as at the first, forty days and forty nights; I neither ate bread nor drank water; because of all your sin which you sinned, in doing that which was evil in the sight of Jehovah, to provoke him to anger.
| ثُمَّ سَقَطْتُ أَمَامَ ٱلرَّبِّ كَٱلْأَوَّلِ أَرْبَعِينَ نَهَارًا وَأَرْبَعِينَ لَيْلَةً، لَا آكُلُ خُبْزًا وَلَا أَشْرَبُ مَاءً، مِنْ أَجْلِ كُلِّ خَطَايَاكُمُ ٱلَّتِي أَخْطَأْتُمْ بِهَا بِعَمَلِكُمُ ٱلشَّرَّ أَمَامَ ٱلرَّبِّ لِإِغَاظَتِهِ. | ١٨ |
19 For I was afraid of the anger and hot displeasure, with which Jehovah was angry against you to destroy you. But Jehovah listened to me that time also.
| لِأَنِّي فَزِعْتُ مِنَ ٱلْغَضَبِ وَٱلْغَيْظِ ٱلَّذِي سَخِطَهُ ٱلرَّبُّ عَلَيْكُمْ لِيُبِيدَكُمْ. فَسَمِعَ لِيَ ٱلرَّبُّ تِلْكَ ٱلْمَرَّةَ أَيْضًا. | ١٩ |
20 Jehovah was very angry with Aaron to destroy him: and I prayed for Aaron also at the same time.
| وَعَلَى هَارُونَ غَضِبَ ٱلرَّبُّ جِدًّا لِيُبِيدَهُ. فَصَلَّيْتُ أَيْضًا مِنْ أَجْلِ هَارُونَ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْوَقْتِ. | ٢٠ |
21 I took your sin, the calf which you had made, and burnt it with fire, and stamped it, grinding it very small, until it was as fine as dust: and I cast its dust into the brook that descended out of the mountain.
| وَأَمَّا خَطِيَّتُكُمُ، ٱلْعِجْلُ ٱلَّذِي صَنَعْتُمُوهُ، فَأَخَذْتُهُ وَأَحْرَقْتُهُ بِٱلنَّارِ، وَرَضَضْتُهُ وَطَحَنْتُهُ جَيِّدًا حَتَّى نَعِمَ كَٱلْغُبَارِ. ثُمَّ طَرَحْتُ غُبَارَهُ فِي ٱلنَّهْرِ ٱلْمُنْحَدِرِ مِنَ ٱلْجَبَلِ. | ٢١ |
22 At Taberah, and at Massah, and at Kibroth Hattaavah, you provoked Jehovah to wrath.
| «وَفِي تَبْعِيرَةَ وَمَسَّةَ وَقَبَرُوتَ هَتَّأَوَةَ أَسْخَطْتُمُ ٱلرَّبَّ. | ٢٢ |
23 When Jehovah sent you from Kadesh Barnea, saying, "Go up and possess the land which I have given you"; then you rebelled against the commandment of Jehovah your God, and you did not believe him, nor listen to his voice.
| وَحِينَ أَرْسَلَكُمُ ٱلرَّبُّ مِنْ قَادَشَ بَرْنِيعَ قَائِلًا: ٱصْعَدُوا ٱمْتَلِكُوا ٱلْأَرْضَ ٱلَّتِي أَعْطَيْتُكُمْ، عَصَيْتُمْ قَوْلَ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِكُمْ وَلَمْ تُصَدِّقُوهُ وَلَمْ تَسْمَعُوا لِقَوْلِهِ. | ٢٣ |
24 You have been rebellious against Jehovah from the day that I knew you.
| قَدْ كُنْتُمْ تَعْصُونَ ٱلرَّبَّ مُنْذُ يَوْمَ عَرَفْتُكُمْ. | ٢٤ |
25 So I fell down before Jehovah the forty days and forty nights that I fell down, because Jehovah had said he would destroy you.
| «فَسَقَطْتُ أَمَامَ ٱلرَّبِّ ٱلْأَرْبَعِينَ نَهَارًا وَٱلْأَرْبَعِينَ لَيْلَةً ٱلَّتِي سَقَطْتُهَا، لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ قَالَ إِنَّهُ يُهْلِكُكُمْ. | ٢٥ |
26 I prayed to God, and said, "Lord Jehovah, do not destroy your people and your inheritance, that you have redeemed through your greatness, that you have brought out of Egypt with a mighty hand.
| وَصَلَّيْتُ لِلرَّبِّ وَقُلْتُ: يَا سَيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ، لَا تُهْلِكْ شَعْبَكَ وَمِيرَاثَكَ ٱلَّذِي فَدَيْتَهُ بِعَظَمَتِكَ، ٱلَّذِي أَخْرَجْتَهُ مِنْ مِصْرَ بِيَدٍ شَدِيدَةٍ. | ٢٦ |
27 Remember your servants, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; do not look to the stubbornness of this people, nor to their wickedness, nor to their sin,
| اُذْكُرْ عَبِيدَكَ إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَإِسْحَاقَ وَيَعْقُوبَ. لَا تَلْتَفِتْ إِلَى غَلَاظَةِ هَذَا ٱلشَّعْبِ وَإِثْمِهِ وَخَطِيَّتِهِ، | ٢٧ |
28 lest the land you brought us out from say, 'Because Jehovah was not able to bring them into the land which he promised to them, and because he hated them, he has brought them out to kill them in the wilderness.'
| لِئَلَّا تَقُولَ ٱلْأَرْضُ ٱلَّتِي أَخْرَجْتَنَا مِنْهَا: لِأَجْلِ أَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ لَمْ يَقْدِرْ أَنْ يُدْخِلَهُمُ ٱلْأَرْضَ ٱلَّتِي كَلَّمَهُمْ عَنْهَا، وَلِأَجْلِ أَنَّهُ أَبْغَضَهُمْ، أَخْرَجَهُمْ لِكَيْ يُمِيتَهُمْ فِي ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ. | ٢٨ |
29 Yet they are your people and your inheritance, which you brought out by your great power and by your outstretched arm."
| وَهُمْ شَعْبُكَ وَمِيرَاثُكَ ٱلَّذِي أَخْرَجْتَهُ بِقُوَّتِكَ ٱلْعَظِيمَةِ وَبِذِرَاعِكَ ٱلرَّفِيعَةِ. | ٢٩ |
