< Deuteronomy 29 >

1 These are the words of the covenant which the LORD commanded Moses to make with the children of Israel in the land of Moab, in addition to the covenant which he made with them in Horeb.
وَهَذِهِ هِيَ نُصُوصُ الْعَهْدِ الَّذِي أَمَرَ الرَّبُّ مُوسَى بِأَنْ يُبْرِمَهُ مَعَ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ فِي سُهُولِ مُوآبَ، فَضْلاً عَنِ الْعَهْدِ الَّذِي قَطَعَهُ مَعَهُمْ فِي حُورِيبَ.١
2 Moses called to all Israel, and said to them: Your eyes have seen all that the LORD did in the land of Egypt to Pharaoh, and to all his servants, and to all his land;
اسْتَدْعَى مُوسَى جَمِيعَ الإِسْرَائِيلِيِّينَ وَقَالَ لَهُمْ: لَقَدْ شَاهَدْتُمْ بِأَعْيُنِكُمْ مَا أَجْرَاهُ الرَّبُّ فِي دِيَارِ مِصْرَ بِفِرْعَوْنَ وَسَائِرِ عَبِيدِهِ وَبِكُلِّ أَرْضِهِ.٢
3 the great trials which your eyes saw, the signs, and those great wonders.
بِأَعْيُنِكُمْ أَبْصَرْتُمْ تِلْكَ التَّجَارِبَ الْهَائِلَةَ وَالآيَاتِ وَالْعَجَائِبَ الْعَظِيمَةَ.٣
4 But the LORD has not given you a heart to know, eyes to see, and ears to hear, to this day.
وَلَكِنَّ الرَّبَّ لَمْ يُعْطِكُمْ حَتَّى الآنَ قُلُوباً لِتَعُوا وَعُيُوناً لِتُبْصِرُوا وَآذَاناً لِتَسْمَعُوا.٤
5 I have led you forty years in the wilderness. Your clothes have not grown old on you, and your sandals have not grown old on your feet.
لَقَدْ قُدْتُكُمْ فِي الْبَرِّيَّةِ أَرْبَعِينَ سَنَةً، لَمْ تَبْلَ فِيهَا ثِيَابُكُمْ عَلَيْكُمْ، وَلَمْ تَهْتَرِئْ نِعَالُكُمْ عَلَى أَرْجُلِكُمْ.٥
6 You have not eaten bread, neither have you drunk wine or strong drink, that you may know that I am the LORD your God.
لَمْ تَأْكُلُوا فِي خِلالِهَا خُبْزاً وَلَمْ تَشْرَبُوا خَمْراً أَوْ مُسْكِراً لَكِنِّي أَشْبَعْتُكُمْ بِمَا وَفَّرْتُهُ لَكُمْ مِنْ طَعَامٍ وَمَاءٍ، لِكَيْ تَعْلَمُوا أَنِّي أَنَا الرَّبُّ إِلَهُكُمْ.٦
7 When you came to this place, Sihon the king of Heshbon and Og the king of Bashan came out against us to battle, and we struck them.
وَعِنْدَمَا بَلَغْتُمْ هَذَا الْمَوْضِعَ تَأَهَّبَ سِيحُونُ مَلِكُ حَشْبُونَ وَعُوجُ مَلِكُ بَاشَانَ لِحَرْبِنَا، فَدَحَرْنَاهُمَا٧
8 We took their land, and gave it for an inheritance to the Reubenites, and to the Gadites, and to the half-tribe of the Manassites.
وَاسْتَوْلَيْنَا عَلَى أَرْضِهِمَا، وَقَسَمْنَاهَا عَلَى سِبْطَيْ رَأُوبَيْنَ وَجَادٍ وَنِصْفِ سِبْطِ مَنَسَّى.٨
9 Therefore keep the words of this covenant and do them, that you may prosper in all that you do.
فَأَطِيعُوا نُصُوصَ هَذَا الْعَهْدِ وَاعْمَلُوا بِها، لِتُفْلِحُوا فِي كُلِّ مَا تَصْنَعُونَهُ.٩
10 All of you stand today in the presence of the LORD your God: your heads, your tribes, your elders, and your officers, even all the men of Israel,
أَنْتُمْ مَاثِلُونَ الْيَوْمَ جَمِيعُكُمْ فِي حَضْرَةِ الرَّبِّ إِلَهِكُمْ: رُؤَسَاؤُكُمْ وَقَادَةُ أَسْبَاطِكُمْ وَعُرَفَاؤُكُمْ وَسَائِرُ رِجَالِ إِسْرَائِيلَ،١٠
11 your little ones, your wives, and the foreigners who are in the middle of your camps, from the one who cuts your wood to the one who draws your water,
وَأَطْفَالُكُمْ وَنِسَاؤُكُمْ، وَالْغُرَبَاءُ الْمُقِيمُونَ فِى وَسَطِكُمْ، مِمَّنْ يَحْتَطِبُ لَكُمْ وَيَسْتَقِي لَكُمْ مَاءَكُمْ،١١
12 that you may enter into the covenant of the LORD your God, and into his oath, which the LORD your God makes with you today,
لِتَدْخُلُوا فِي عَهْدِ الرَّبِّ إِلَهِكُمْ وَقَسَمِهِ الَّذِي يُبْرِمُهُ الرَّبُّ مَعَكُمُ الْيَوْمَ،١٢
13 that he may establish you today as his people, and that he may be your God, as he spoke to you and as he swore to your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob.
وَلِيُثَبِّتَكُمُ الْيَوْمَ لِنَفْسِهِ شَعْباً، فَيَكُونُ لَكُمْ إِلَهاً كَمَا وَعَدَكُمْ وَكَمَا حَلَفَ لِآبَائِكُمْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَإِسْحَاقَ وَيَعْقُوبَ.١٣
14 Neither do I make this covenant and this oath with you only,
وَلَسْتٌ أَقْطَعُ هَذَا الْعَهْدَ وَهَذَا الْقَسَمَ مَعَكُمْ وَحْدَكُمْ،١٤
15 but with those who stand here with us today before the LORD our God, and also with those who are not here with us today
بَلْ فَضْلاً عَنْكُمْ أَنْتُمُ الْمَاثِلِينَ الْيَوْمَ أَمَامَ الرَّبِّ إِلَهِنَا، فَإِنَّنِي أُبْرِمُهُ أَيْضاً مَعَ الأَجْيَالِ الْقَادِمَةِ.١٥
16 (for you know how we lived in the land of Egypt, and how we came through the middle of the nations through which you passed;
لأَنَّكُمْ قَدْ عَرَفْتُمْ كَيْفَ أَقَمْنَا فِي دِيَارِ مِصْرَ، وَكَيْفَ جُزْنَا فِيمَا بَيْنَ الأُمَمِ الَّذِينَ عَبَرْتُمْ بِهِمْ،١٦
17 and you have seen their abominations and their idols of wood, stone, silver, and gold, which were among them);
وَشَهِدْتُمْ أَرجَاسَهُمْ وَمَا لَدَيْهِمْ مِنْ أَصْنَامٍ مَصْنُوعَةٍ مِنْ خَشَبٍ وَحَجَرٍ وَفِضَّةٍ وَذَهَبٍ،١٧
18 lest there should be among you man, woman, family, or tribe whose heart turns away today from the LORD our God, to go to serve the gods of those nations; lest there should be among you a root that produces bitter poison;
لِئَلّا يَكُونَ بَيْنَكُمْ رَجُلٌ أَوِ امْرَأَةٌ أَوْ عَشِيرَةٌ أَوْ سِبْطٌ مَالَ قَلْبُهُ عَنِ الرَّبِّ إِلَهِنَا، فَغَوَى لِيَعْبُدَ آلِهَةَ تِلْكَ الأَمَمِ. فَاحْرِصُوا أَلّا يَكُونَ بَيْنَكُمْ مَنْ تَأَصَّلَ فِيهِ الشَّرُّ، فَيَحْمِلَ ثَمَراً عَلْقَماً سَامّاً.١٨
19 and it happen, when he hears the words of this curse, that he bless himself in his heart, saying, “I shall have peace, though I walk in the stubbornness of my heart,” to destroy the moist with the dry.
فَإِنْ سَمِعَ كَلامَ هَذَا الْقَسَمِ يَسْتَمْطِرُ بَرَكَةً عَلَى نَفْسِهِ قَائِلاً: «سَأَكُونُ آمِناً حَتَّى وَلَوْ أَصْرَرْتُ عَلَى الاسْتِمْرَارِ فِى سُلُوكِ طَرِيقِي». إِنَّ هَذَا يُفْضِي إِلَى فَنَاءِ الأَخْضَرِ وَاليَابِسِ عَلَى حَدٍّ سَوَاءٍ.١٩
20 The LORD will not pardon him, but then the LORD’s anger and his jealousy will smoke against that man, and all the curse that is written in this book will fall on him, and the LORD will blot out his name from under the sky.
إِنَّ الرَّبَّ لَا يَشَاءُ الرِّفْقَ بِمِثْلِ هَذَا الإِنْسَانِ، بَلْ يَحْتَدِمُ غَضَبُهُ وَغَيْرَتُهُ عَلَيْهِ، فَتَنْزِلُ بِهِ كُلُّ اللَّعْنَاتِ الْمُدَوَّنَةِ فِي هَذَا الْكِتَابِ، وَيَمْحُو اسْمَهُ مِنْ تَحْتِ السَّمَاءِ.٢٠
21 The LORD will set him apart for evil out of all the tribes of Israel, according to all the curses of the covenant written in this book of the law.
وَيُفْرِزُهُ الرَّبُّ مِنْ بَيْنِ أَسْبَاطِ إِسْرَائِيلَ لِيُهْلِكَهُ بِمُقْتَضَى جَمِيعِ لَعْنَاتِ الْعَهْدِ الْمُدَوَّنَةِ فِي كِتَابِ الشَّرِيعَةِ هَذَا.٢١
22 The generation to come—your children who will rise up after you, and the foreigner who will come from a far land—will say, when they see the plagues of that land, and the sicknesses with which the LORD has made it sick,
فَيُشَاهِدُ أَبْنَاؤُكُمْ مِنَ الأَجْيَالِ الْقَادِمَةِ، وَالْغُرَبَاءُ الْوَافِدُونَ مِنْ أَرْضٍ بَعِيدَةٍ بَلايَا تِلْكَ الأَرْضِ وَمَا يُصِيبُهَا الرَّبُّ بِهِ مِنْ أَمْرَاضٍ،٢٢
23 that all of its land is sulfur, salt, and burning, that it is not sown, doesn’t produce, nor does any grass grow in it, like the overthrow of Sodom, Gomorrah, Admah, and Zeboiim, which the LORD overthrew in his anger, and in his wrath.
إِذْ تُصْبِحُ جَمِيعُ الأَرْضِ كِبْرِيتاً، مُحْتَرِقَةً لَا زَرْعَ فِيهَا وَلا نَبَاتَ وَلا عُشْبَ، وَكَأَنَّهَا انْقَلَبَتْ كَمَا جَرَى لِسَدُومَ وَعَمُورَةَ وَأَدْمَةَ وَصَبُوِييمَ، الَّتِي قَلَبَهَا الرَّبُّ مِنْ جَرَّاءِ غَضَبِهِ وَسَخَطِهِ.٢٣
24 Even all the nations will say, “Why has the LORD done this to this land? What does the heat of this great anger mean?”
فَتَقُولُ جَمِيعُ الأَمَمِ: لِمَاذَا فَعَلَ الرَّبُّ هَذَا كُلَّهُ بِهَذِهِ الأَرْضِ؟ وَلِمَاذَا احْتِدَامُ هَذَا الْغَضَبِ الْعَظِيمِ؟٢٤
25 Then men will say, “Because they abandoned the covenant of the LORD, the God of their fathers, which he made with them when he brought them out of the land of Egypt,
فَيَكُونُ الْجَوَابُ: لأَنَّ هَذَا الشَّعْبَ نَقَضَ عَهْدَ الرَّبِّ إِلَهِ آبَائِهِمِ الَّذِي قَطَعَهُ مَعَهُمْ حِينَ أَخْرَجَهُمْ مِنْ دِيَارِ مِصْرَ،٢٥
26 and went and served other gods and worshiped them, gods that they didn’t know and that he had not given to them.
وَغَوَوْا وَعَبَدُوا آلِهَةً أُخْرَى وَسَجَدُوا لَهَا، آلِهَةً غَرِيبَةً لَمْ يَعْرِفُوهَا وَلَمْ يُعْطِهَا الرَّبُّ لَهُمْ،٢٦
27 Therefore the LORD’s anger burned against this land, to bring on it all the curses that are written in this book.
فَالْتَهَبَ غَضَبُ الرَّبِّ عَلَى تِلْكَ الأَرْضِ، فَصَبَّ عَلَيْهَا كُلَّ اللَّعْنَاتِ الْمُدَوَّنَةِ فِى هَذَا الْكِتَابِ٢٧
28 The LORD rooted them out of their land in anger, in wrath, and in great indignation, and thrust them into another land, as it is today.”
وَاجْتَثَّهُمْ مِنْ أَرْضِهِمْ بِغَضَبٍ وَسَخَطٍ وَغَيْظٍ عَظِيمٍ، وَطَوَّحَ بِهِمْ إِلَى أَرْضٍ أُخْرَى كَمَا هُوَ حَادِثٌ الْيَوْمَ.٢٨
29 The secret things belong to the LORD our God; but the things that are revealed belong to us and to our children forever, that we may do all the words of this law.
إِنَّ السَّرَائِرَ لِلرَّبِّ إِلَهِنَا، أَمَّا الْوَصَايَا الْمُعْلَنَةُ فَهِيَ لَنَا ولأَبْنَائِنَا إِلَى الأَبَدِ، لِنَعْمَلَ بِجَمِيعِ كَلِمَاتِ هَذِهِ الشَّرِيعَةِ.٢٩
