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,
| اسْتَمِعُوا يَا بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ: أَنْتُمْ عَلَى وَشْكِ عُبُورِ نَهْرِ الأُرْدُنِّ لِتَدْخُلُوا لِطَرْدِ شُعُوبٍ أَكْبَرَ وَأَعْظَمَ مِنْكُمْ، وَلِلاسْتِيلاءِ عَلَى مُدُنٍ عَظِيمَةٍ مُحَصَّنَةٍ بِأَسْوَارٍ تَبْلُغُ عَنَانَ السَّمَاءِ، | 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?"
| يُقِيمُ فِيهَا الْعَنَاقِيُّونَ الْجَبَابِرَةُ الْعَمَالِقَةُ الَّذِينَ عَرَفْتُمْ عَنْهُمْ وَسَمِعْتُمْ مَنْ يَقُولُ: مَنْ يَسْتَطِيعُ أَنْ يَتَحَدَّى الْعَنَاقِيِّينَ؟ | 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.
| فَاعْلَمُوا الْيَوْمَ أَنَّ الرَّبَّ إِلَهَكُمْ يَتَقَدَّمُكُمْ كَنَارٍ آكِلَةٍ، وَهُوَ الَّذِي يَسْتَأْصِلُهُمْ وَيُذِلُّهُمْ أَمَامَكُمْ، فَتَطْرُدُونَهُمْ وَتُبِيدُونَهُمْ سَرِيعاً كَمَا كَلَّمَكُمُ الرَّبُّ. | 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 تَقُولُوا لأَنْفُسِكُمْ بَعْدَ أَنْ يَنْفِيَهُمُ الرَّبُّ مِنْ أَمَامِكُمْ: لَقَدْ أَدْخَلَنَا الرَّبُّ لاِمْتِلاكِ هَذِهِ الأَرْضِ بِفَضْلِ صَلاحِنَا. إِنَّمَا مِنْ أَجْلِ كَثْرَةِ إِثْمِهِمْ يَطْرُدُهُمُ الرَّبُّ إِلَهُكُمْ مِنْ أَمَامِكُمْ. | 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.
| إِذْ لَيْسَ بِفَضْلِ صَلاحِكُمْ وَاسْتِقَامَتِكُمْ تَدْخُلُونَ لامْتِلاكِ أَرْضِهِمْ، إِنَّمَا مِنْ أَجْلِ إِثْمِهِمْ يَطْرُدُهُمُ الرَّبُّ إِلَهُكُمْ مِنْ أَمَامِكُمْ وَفَاءً بِوَعْدِهِ الَّذِي أَقْسَمَ عَلَيْهِ لِآبَائِكُمْ 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.
| فَاعْلَمُوا أَنَّهُ لَيْسَ بِفَضْلِ صَلاحِكُمْ يَهَبُكُمُ الرَّبُّ إِلَهُكُمْ هَذِهِ الأَرْضَ الْخَصِيبَةَ لامْتِلاكِهَا، لأَنَّكُمْ شَعْبٌ عَنِيدٌ. | 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.
| اُذْكُرُوا وَلا تَنْسَوْا كَيْفَ أَسْخَطْتُمُ الرَّبَّ إِلَهَكُمْ عَلَيْكُمْ فِي الصَّحْرَاءِ، فَمُنْذُ أَنْ غَادَرْتُمْ دِيَارَ مِصْرَ حَتَّى بَلَغْتُمْ هَذَا الْمَكَانَ وَأَنْتُمْ تُقَاوِمُونَ الرَّبَّ. | ٧ |
8 Also in Horeb you provoked Jehovah to wrath, and Jehovah was angry with you to destroy you.
| فَفِي جَبَلِ حُورِيبَ أَثَرْتُمْ غَيْظَ الرَّبِّ، فَاحْتَدَمَ غَضَبُهُ عَلَيْكُمْ حَتَّى أَوْشَكَ أَنْ يُفْنِيَكُمْ. | 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.
| فَحِينَ صَعِدْتُ إِلَى الْجَبَلِ لأَتَسَلَّمَ لَوْحَيْ حَجَرِ الْعَهْدِ الَّذِي قَطَعَهُ الرَّبُّ مَعَكُمْ، وَأَقَمْتُ فِيهِ أَرْبَعِينَ نَهَاراً وَأَرْبَعِينَ لَيْلَةً لَا آكُلُ فِيهَا خُبْزاً أَوْ 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.
| وَسَلَّمَنِي الرَّبُّ لَوْحَيِ الْحَجَرِ الْمَكْتُوبَيْنِ بِأَصْبَعِ اللهِ، حَيْثُ خَطَّ عَلَيْهِمَا جَمِيعَ الْوَصَايَا الَّتِي كَلَّمَكُمْ بِها الرَّبُّ فِي الْجَبَلِ مِنْ وَسَطِ النَّارِ فِي يَوْمِ الاجْتِمَاعِ. | 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.
| وَحِينَ أَعْطَانِي الرَّبُّ لَوْحَيْ حَجَرِ الْعَهْدِ فِي نِهَايَةِ الأَرْبَعِينَ نَهَاراً وَالأَرْبَعِينَ لَيْلَةً، | 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 لِي الرَّبُّ: قُمْ وَأَسْرِعْ بِالنُّزُولِ مِنْ هُنَا، لأَنَّ شَعْبَكَ الَّذِي أَخْرَجْتَهُ مِنْ مِصْرَ قَدْ ضَلَّ. زَاغُوا سَرِيعاً عَنِ السَّبِيلِ الَّذِي أَوْصَيْتُهُمْ بِهِ، إِذْ صَاغُوا لأَنْفُسِهِمْ تِمْثَالاً مَسْبُوكاً. | ١٢ |
13 Furthermore Jehovah spoke to me, saying, "I have seen this people, and look, it is a stiff-necked people:
| ثُمَّ قَالَ لِي: قَدْ تَأَمَّلْتُ هَذَا الشَّعْبَ وَإِذْ بِهِ شَعْبٌ مُتَصَلِّبُ الْقَلْبِ. | 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."
| دَعْنِي أَسْتَأْصِلُهُمْ وَأَمْحُو اسْمَهُمْ مِنْ تَحْتِ السَّمَاءِ، وَأُقِيمُ مِنْكَ شَعْباً 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.
| فَانْصَرَفْتُ، وَانْحَدَرْتُ مِنَ الْجَبَلِ وَهُوَ مَا بَرِحَ يَشْتَعِلُ بِالنَّارِ، وَلَوْحَا الْعَهْدِ 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.
| وَتَطَلَّعْتُ وَإذَا بِكُمْ قَدْ أَخْطَأْتُمْ إِلَى الرَّبِّ، وَصُغْتُمْ لأَنْفُسِكُمْ عِجْلاً مَسْبُوكاً، وَضَلَلْتُمْ سَرِيعاً عَنِ السَّبِيلِ الَّذِي أَوْصَاكُمْ بِهِ الرَّبُّ. | ١٦ |
17 I took hold of the two tablets, and cast them out of my two hands, and broke them before your eyes.
| فَأَخَذْتُ اللَّوْحَيْنِ وَأَلْقَيْتُهُمَا مِنْ يَدَيَّ وَحَطَّمْتُهُمَا 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 انْطَرَحْتُ بِذُلٍّ أَمَامَ الرَّبِّ أَرْبَعِينَ نَهَاراً وَأَرْبَعِينَ لَيْلَةً، كَمَا فِي السَّابِقِ، لَا آكُلُ خُبْزاً وَلا أَشْرَبُ مَاءً، مِنْ جَرَّاءِ كُلِّ خَطَايَاكُمُ الَّتِي ارْتَكَبْتُمُوهَا فِي عَيْنَيِ الرَّبِّ لِتُغِيظُوهُ، | 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.
| لأَنَّنِي جَزِعْتُ مِنْ غَضَبِ الرَّبِّ وَاحْتِدَامِ سَخَطِهِ عَلَيْكُمْ، حَتَّى أَوْشَكَ أَنْ يُبِيدَكُمْ. فَاسْتَجَابَ لِيَ الرَّبُّ أَيْضاً فِي تِلْكَ الْمَرَّةِ. | ١٩ |
20 Jehovah was very angry with Aaron to destroy him: and I prayed for Aaron also at the same time.
| كَمَا غَضِبَ الرَّبُّ عَلَى هرُونَ أَيْضاً حَتَّى كَادَ أَنْ يُهْلِكَهُ، فَصَلَّيْتُ مِنْ أَجْلِهِ حِينَئِذٍ، فَقَبِلَ الرَّبُّ تَضَرُّعِي. | 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.
| أَمَّا خَطِيئَتُكُمْ، الْعِجْلُ الَّذِي سَبَكْتُمُوهُ، فَقَدْ أَخَذْتُهُ وَأَحْرَقْتُهُ وَدَقَقْتُهُ وَطَحَنْتُهُ جَيِّداً، حَتَّى اسْتَحَالَ إِلَى تُرَابٍ، ثُمَّ طَرَحْتُ غُبَارَهُ فِي النَّهْرِ الْمُنْحَدِرِ مِنَ الْجَبَلِ. | ٢١ |
22 At Taberah, and at Massah, and at Kibroth Hattaavah, you provoked Jehovah to wrath.
| وَمَا لَبِثْتُمْ أَنْ أَسْخَطْتُمُ الرَّبَّ فِي تَبْعِيرَةَ وَمَسَّةَ وَقَبْرُوتَ هَتَّأَوَةَ. | 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 الرَّبُّ مِنْ قَادَشَ بَرْنِيعَ وَأَمَرَ: اصْعَدُوا لامْتِلاكِ الأَرْضِ الَّتِي وَهَبْتُهَا لَكُمْ، عَصَيْتُمْ أَمْرَ الرَّبِّ إِلَهِكُمْ وَلَمْ تُصَدِّقُوهُ، وَلَمْ تَأْتَمِرُوا بِقَوْلِهِ، | ٢٣ |
24 You have been rebellious against Jehovah from the day that I knew you.
| فَأَنْتُمْ حَقّاً مُتَمَرِّدُونَ عَلَى الرَّبِّ مُنْذُ أَنْ 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 الرَّبِّ أَرْبَعِينَ نَهَاراً وَأَرْبَعِينَ لَيْلَةً، لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ أَعْلَنَ أَنَّهُ عَازِمٌ أَنْ يَقْضِيَ عَلَيْكُمْ. | 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.
| وَابْتَهَلْتُ إِلَى الرَّبِّ قَائِلاً: يَا سَيِّدُ الرَّبُّ، لَا تُهْلِكْ شَعْبَكَ وَمِيرَاثَكَ الَّذِي افْتَدَيْتَهُ بِقُوَّتِكَ الْعَظِيمَةِ، وَأَخْرَجْتَهُ مِنْ مِصْرَ بِقُدْرَةٍ فَائِقَةٍ. | 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، وَتَغَاضَ عَنْ عِنَادِ هَذَا الشَّعْبِ وَإِثْمِهِ وَخَطِيئَتِهِ، | 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.'
| لِئَلّا يَقُولَ أَهْلُ مِصْرَ الَّذِينَ أَخْرَجْتَنَا مِنْ بَيْنِهِمْ: لَقَدْ أَخْرَجَهُمُ الرَّبُّ لِيُهْلِكَهُمْ فِي الْبَرِّيَّةِ، لأَنَّهُ عَجَزَ عَنْ إِدْخَالِهِمْ إِلَى الأَرْضِ الَّتِي وَعَدَهُمْ بِها، وَلأَنَّهُ مَقَتَهُمْ. | ٢٨ |
29 Yet they are your people and your inheritance, which you brought out by your great power and by your outstretched arm."
| إِنَّهُمْ شَعْبُكَ وَمِيرَاثُكَ الَّذِي أَخْرَجْتَهُ بِقُوَّتِكَ الْعَظِيمَةِ وَقُدْرَتِكَ الْفَائِقَةِ. | ٢٩ |
