Deuteronomy 8

1 You shall observe to do all the commandment which I command you this day, that you may live, and multiply, and go in and possess the land which the LORD swore to your fathers.

١ «جَمِيعَ ٱلْوَصَايَا ٱلَّتِي أَنَا أُوصِيكُمْ بِهَا ٱلْيَوْمَ تَحْفَظُونَ لِتَعْمَلُوهَا، لِكَيْ تَحَيَوْا وَتَكْثُرُوا وَتَدْخُلُوا وَتَمْتَلِكُوا ٱلْأَرْضَ ٱلَّتِي أَقْسَمَ ٱلرَّبُّ لِآبَائِكُمْ.

2 You shall remember all the way which the LORD your God has led you these forty years in the wilderness, that he might humble you, to prove you, and to know what was in your heart, whether you would keep his commandments, or not.

٢ وَتَتَذَكَّرُ كُلَّ ٱلطَّرِيقِ ٱلَّتِي فِيهَا سَارَ بِكَ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكَ هَذِهِ ٱلْأَرْبَعِينَ سَنَةً فِي ٱلْقَفْرِ، لِكَيْ يُذِلَّكَ وَيُجَرِّبَكَ لِيَعْرِفَ مَا فِي قَلْبِكَ: أَتَحْفَظُ وَصَايَاهُ أَمْ لَا؟

3 He humbled you, and allowed you to be hungry, and fed you with manna, which you did not know, neither did your fathers know; that he might make you know that humankind cannot live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God shall humankind live.

٣ فَأَذَلَّكَ وَأَجَاعَكَ وَأَطْعَمَكَ ٱلْمَنَّ ٱلَّذِي لَمْ تَكُنْ تَعْرِفُهُ وَلَا عَرَفَهُ آبَاؤُكَ، لِكَيْ يُعَلِّمَكَ أَنَّهُ لَيْسَ بِٱلْخُبْزِ وَحْدَهُ يَحْيَا ٱلْإِنْسَانُ، بَلْ بِكُلِّ مَا يَخْرُجُ مِنْ فَمِ ٱلرَّبِّ يَحْيَا ٱلْإِنْسَانُ.

4 Your clothing did not grow old on you, neither did your foot swell, these forty years.

٤ ثِيَابُكَ لَمْ تَبْلَ عَلَيْكَ، وَرِجْلُكَ لَمْ تَتَوَرَّمْ هَذِهِ ٱلْأَرْبَعِينَ سَنَةً.

5 You shall consider in your heart that as a man chastens his son, so the LORD your God chastens you.

٥ فَٱعْلَمْ فِي قَلْبِكَ أَنَّهُ كَمَا يُؤَدِّبُ ٱلْإِنْسَانُ ٱبْنَهُ قَدْ أَدَّبَكَ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكَ.

6 You shall keep the commandments of the LORD your God, to walk in his ways, and to fear him.

٦ وَٱحْفَظْ وَصَايَا ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِكَ لِتَسْلُكَ فِي طُرُقِهِ وَتَتَّقِيَهُ،

7 For the LORD your God brings you into a good and spacious land, a land of brooks of water, of springs, and underground water flowing into valleys and hills;

٧ لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ إِلَهَكَ آتٍ بِكَ إِلَى أَرْضٍ جَيِّدَةٍ. أَرْضِ أَنْهَارٍ مِنْ عُيُونٍ، وَغِمَارٍ تَنْبَعُ فِي ٱلْبِقَاعِ وَٱلْجِبَالِ.

8 a land of wheat and barley, and vines and fig trees and pomegranates; a land of olive trees and honey;

٨ أَرْضِ حِنْطَةٍ وَشَعِيرٍ وَكَرْمٍ وَتِينٍ وَرُمَّانٍ. أَرْضِ زَيْتُونِ زَيْتٍ، وَعَسَلٍ.

9 a land in which you shall eat bread without scarcity, and in which you will lack nothing; a land whose stones are iron, and out of whose hills you may dig copper.

٩ أَرْضٍ لَيْسَ بِٱلْمَسْكَنَةِ تَأْكُلُ فِيهَا خُبْزًا، وَلَا يُعْوِزُكَ فِيهَا شَيْءٌ. أَرْضٍ حِجَارَتُهَا حَدِيدٌ، وَمِنْ جِبَالِهَا تَحْفُرُ نُحَاسًا.

10 You shall eat and be full, and you shall bless the LORD your God for the good land which he has given you.

١٠ فَمَتَى أَكَلْتَ وَشَبِعْتَ تُبَارِكُ ٱلرَّبَّ إِلَهَكَ لِأَجْلِ ٱلْأَرْضِ ٱلْجَيِّدَةِ ٱلَّتِي أَعْطَاكَ.

11 Beware lest you forget the LORD your God, in not keeping his commandments, and his ordinances, and his statutes, which I command you this day:

١١ اِحْتَرِزْ مِنْ أَنْ تَنْسَى ٱلرَّبَّ إِلَهَكَ وَلَا تَحْفَظَ وَصَايَاهُ وَأَحْكَامَهُ وَفَرَائِضَهُ ٱلَّتِي أَنَا أُوصِيكَ بِهَا ٱلْيَوْمَ.

12 lest, when you have eaten and are full, and have built goodly houses, and lived in them;

١٢ لِئَلَّا إِذَا أَكَلْتَ وَشَبِعْتَ وَبَنَيْتَ بُيُوتًا جَيِّدَةً وَسَكَنْتَ،

13 and when your herds and your flocks multiply, and your silver and your gold is multiplied, and all that you have is multiplied;

١٣ وَكَثُرَتْ بَقَرُكَ وَغَنَمُكَ، وَكَثُرَتْ لَكَ ٱلْفِضَّةُ وَٱلذَّهَبُ، وَكَثُرَ كُلُّ مَا لَكَ،

14 then your heart be lifted up, and you forget the LORD your God, who brought you forth out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage;

١٤ يَرْتَفِعُ قَلْبُكَ وَتَنْسَى ٱلرَّبَّ إِلَهَكَ ٱلَّذِي أَخْرَجَكَ مِنْ أَرْضِ مِصْرَ مِنْ بَيْتِ ٱلْعُبُودِيَّةِ،

15 who led you through the great and terrible wilderness, with fiery serpents and scorpions, and thirsty ground where there was no water; who brought you forth water out of the rock of flint;

١٥ ٱلَّذِي سَارَ بِكَ فِي ٱلْقَفْرِ ٱلْعَظِيمِ ٱلْمَخُوفِ، مَكَانِ حَيَّاتٍ مُحْرِقَةٍ وَعَقَارِبَ وَعَطَشٍ حَيْثُ لَيْسَ مَاءٌ. ٱلَّذِي أَخْرَجَ لَكَ مَاءً مِنْ صَخْرَةِ ٱلصَّوَّانِ.

16 who fed you in the wilderness with manna, which your fathers did not know; that he might humble you, and that he might prove you, to do you good at your latter end:

١٦ ٱلَّذِي أَطْعَمَكَ فِي ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ ٱلْمَنَّ ٱلَّذِي لَمْ يَعْرِفْهُ آبَاؤُكَ، لِكَيْ يُذِلَّكَ وَيُجَرِّبَكَ، لِكَيْ يُحْسِنَ إِلَيْكَ فِي آخِرَتِكَ.

17 and lest you say in your heart, "My power and the might of my hand has gotten me this wealth."

١٧ وَلِئَلَّا تَقُولَ فِي قَلْبِكَ: قُوَّتِي وَقُدْرَةُ يَدِيَ ٱصْطَنَعَتْ لِي هَذِهِ ٱلثَّرْوَةَ.

18 But you shall remember the LORD your God, for it is he who gives you power to get wealth; that he may establish his covenant which he swore to your fathers, as at this day.

١٨ بَلِ ٱذْكُرِ ٱلرَّبَّ إِلَهَكَ، أَنَّهُ هُوَ ٱلَّذِي يُعْطِيكَ قُوَّةً لِٱصْطِنَاعِ ٱلثَّرْوَةِ، لِكَيْ يَفِيَ بِعَهْدِهِ ٱلَّذِي أَقْسَمَ لِآبَائِكَ كَمَا فِي هَذَا ٱلْيَوْمِ.

19 It shall be, if you shall forget the LORD your God, and walk after other gods, and serve them, and worship them, I testify against you this day that you shall surely perish.

١٩ وَإِنْ نَسِيتَ ٱلرَّبَّ إِلَهَكَ، وَذَهَبْتَ وَرَاءَ آلِهَةٍ أُخْرَى وَعَبَدْتَهَا وَسَجَدْتَ لَهَا، أُشْهِدُ عَلَيْكُمُ ٱلْيَوْمَ أَنَّكُمْ تَبِيدُونَ لَا مَحَالَةَ.

20 As the nations that the LORD makes to perish before you, so you shall perish; because you wouldn't listen to the voice of the LORD your God.

٢٠ كَٱلشُّعُوبِ ٱلَّذِينَ يُبِيدُهُمُ ٱلرَّبُّ مِنْ أَمَامِكُمْ كَذَلِكَ تَبِيدُونَ، لِأَجْلِ أَنَّكُمْ لَمْ تَسْمَعُوا لِقَوْلِ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِكُمْ.
