Deuteronomy 31
1 Moses went and spoke these words to all Israel.
| وَمَضَى مُوسَى يَقُولُ لِبَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ: | ١ |
2 He said to them, “I am one hundred twenty years old today. I can no more go out and come in. The LORD has said to me, ‘You shall not go over this Jordan.’
| «أَنَا الْيَوْمَ قَدْ بَلَغْتُ مِنَ الْعُمْرِ مِئَةً وَعِشْرِينَ سَنَةً، وَصِرْتُ عَاجِزاً عَنْ قِيَادَتِكُمْ. وَقَدْ قَالَ الرَّبُّ لِي: لَنْ تَعْبُرَ هَذَا الأُرْدُنَّ. | ٢ |
3 The LORD your God himself will go over before you. He will destroy these nations from before you, and you shall dispossess them. Joshua will go over before you, as the LORD has spoken.
| وَلَكِنَّ الرَّبَّ إِلَهَكُمْ عَابِرٌ أَمَامَكُمْ، وَهُوَ يُبِيدُ تِلْكَ الأُمَمَ مِنْ قُدَّامِكُمْ فَتَرِثُونَهُمْ. وَسَيَكُونُ يَشُوعُ قَائِدَكُمْ كَمَا وَعَدَ الرَّبُّ. | ٣ |
4 The LORD will do to them as he did to Sihon and to Og, the kings of the Amorites, and to their land, when he destroyed them.
| سَيَصْنَعُ الرَّبُّ بِهِمْ كَمَا صَنَعَ بِسِيحُونَ وَعُوجَ مَلِكَيِ الأَمُورِيِّينَ وَبِأَرْضِهِمَا وَأَبَادَهُمَا. | ٤ |
5 The LORD will deliver them up before you, and you shall do to them according to all the commandment which I have commanded you.
| فَمَتَى أَخْضَعَهُمُ الرَّبُّ لَكُمْ فَافْعَلُوا بِهِمْ بِمُوْجِبِ جَمِيعِ الْوَصَايَا الَّتِي أَمَرْتُكُمْ بِها. | ٥ |
6 Be strong and courageous. Don’t be afraid or scared of them, for the LORD your God himself is who goes with you. He will not fail you nor forsake you.”
| تَقَوَّوْا وَتَشَجَّعُوا. لَا تَخْشَوْهُمْ وَلا تَجْزَعُوا مِنْهُمْ، لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ إِلَهَكُمْ سَائِرٌ مَعَكُمْ، لَا يُهْمِلُكُمْ وَلا يَتْرُكُكُمْ». | ٦ |
7 Moses called to Joshua, and said to him in the sight of all Israel, “Be strong and courageous, for you shall go with this people into the land which the LORD has sworn to their fathers to give them; and you shall cause them to inherit it.
| فَاسْتَدْعَى مُوسَى يَشُوعَ وَقَالَ لَهُ أَمَامَ جَمِيعِ إِسْرَائِيلَ: «تَقَوَّ وَتَشَجَّعْ، لأَنَّكَ أَنْتَ مَاضٍ مَعَ هَذَا الشَّعْبِ إِلَى الأَرْضِ الَّتِي حَلَفَ الرَّبُّ لِآبَائِهِمْ أَنْ يَهَبَهَا لَهُمْ، وَأَنْتَ تُوَزِّعُهَا عَلَيْهِمْ. | ٧ |
8 The LORD himself is who goes before you. He will be with you. He will not fail you nor forsake you. Don’t be afraid. Don’t be discouraged.”
| هُوَذَا الرَّبُّ يَتَقَدَّمُكَ، هُوَ يَكُونُ مَعَكَ، لَا يُهْمِلُكَ وَلا يَتْرُكُكَ. لِذَلِكَ لَا تَخَفْ وَلا تَرْتَعِبْ». | ٨ |
9 Moses wrote this law and delivered it to the priests the sons of Levi, who bore the ark of the LORD’s covenant, and to all the elders of Israel.
| وَكَتَبَ مُوسَى كَلِمَاتِ هَذِهِ التَّوْرَاةِ وَسَلَّمَهَا لِلْكَهَنَةِ بَنِي لاوِي حَامِلِي تَابُوتِ عَهْدِ الرَّبِّ وَإِلَى سَائِرِ شُيُوخِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ. | ٩ |
10 Moses commanded them, saying, “At the end of every seven years, in the set time of the year of release, in the feast of booths,
| وَأَمَرَهُمْ مُوسَى قَائِلاً: «فِي خِتَامِ السَّبْعِ السَّنَوَاتِ، فِي مِيعَادِ سَنَةِ الإِبْرَاءِ مِنَ الدُّيُونِ، فِي عِيدِ الْمَظَالِّ | ١٠ |
11 when all Israel has come to appear before the LORD your God in the place which he will choose, you shall read this law before all Israel in their hearing.
| عِنْدَمَا يَجْتَمِعُ جَمِيعُ الإِسْرَائِيلِيِّينَ لِلْعِبَادَةِ أَمَامَ الرَّبِّ إِلَهِكُمْ فِي الْمَوْضِعِ الَّذِي يَخْتَارُهُ، تَتْلُونَ نُصُوصَ هَذِهِ التَّوْرَاةِ فِي مَسَامِعِهِمْ. | ١١ |
12 Assemble the people, the men and the women and the little ones, and the foreigners who are within your gates, that they may hear, learn, fear the LORD your God, and observe to do all the words of this law,
| اجْمَعُوا الشَّعْبَ رِجَالاً وَنِسَاءً وَأَطْفَالاً، وَالْغُرَبَاءَ الْمُقِيمِينَ فِي مُدُنِكُمْ لِيَسْمَعُوا وَيَتَعَلَّمُوا تَقْوَى الرَّبِّ إِلَهِكُمْ، وَيَحْرِصُوا عَلَى الْعَمَلِ بِجَمِيعِ نُصُوصِ هَذِهِ التَّوْرَاةِ. | ١٢ |
13 and that their children, who have not known, may hear and learn to fear the LORD your God, as long as you live in the land where you go over the Jordan to possess it.”
| وَكَذَلِكَ لِيَسْمَعَ أَوْلادُهُمُ الشَّرِيعَةَ الَّتِي لَمْ يَعْرِفُوهَا، لِيَتَعَلَّمُوا تَقْوَى الرَّبِّ إِلَهِكُمْ طَوَالَ الأَيَّامِ الَّتِي يَعِيشُونَهَا عَلَى الأَرْضِ الَّتِي أَنْتُمْ عَابِرُونَ نَهْرَ الأُرْدُنِّ إِلَيْهَا لِتَرِثُوهَا». | ١٣ |
14 The LORD said to Moses, “Behold, your days approach that you must die. Call Joshua, and present yourselves in the Tent of Meeting, that I may commission him.” Moses and Joshua went, and presented themselves in the Tent of Meeting.
| وَكَانَ الرَّبُّ قَدْ قَالَ لِمُوسَى: «هَا أَنْتَ قَدْ أَوْشَكْتَ عَلَى الْمَوْتِ، وَأَيَّامُ حَيَاتِكَ بَاتَتْ مَعْدُودَةً. فَادْعُ يَشُوعَ، وَقِفَا كِلاكُمَا عِنْدَ خَيْمَةِ الاجْتِمَاعِ لِكَيْ أُوصِيَهُ». فَمَضَى مُوسَى وَيَشُوعُ وَمَثَلا عِنْدَ خَيْمَةِ الاجْتِمَاعِ. | ١٤ |
15 The LORD appeared in the Tent in a pillar of cloud, and the pillar of cloud stood over the Tent’s door.
| فَتَجَلَّى الرَّبُّ فِي الْخَيْمَةِ، فِي سَحَابَةٍ. وَوَقَفَتِ السَّحَابَةُ عِنْدَ بَابِ الْخَيْمَةِ. | ١٥ |
16 The LORD said to Moses, “Behold, you shall sleep with your fathers. This people will rise up and play the prostitute after the strange gods of the land where they go to be among them, and will forsake me and break my covenant which I have made with them.
| وَقَالَ الرَّبُّ لِمُوسَى: «مَا إِنْ تَمُوتُ وَتَلْحَقُ بِآبَائِكَ حَتَّى يُسْرِعَ هَذَا الشَّعْبُ وَيَفْجُرَ وَرَاءَ آلِهَةِ الْغُرَبَاءِ الْمُقِيمِينَ فِي الأَرْضِ الَّتِي هُوَ دَاخِلٌ إِلَيْهَا فِي وَسَطِهِمْ، وَيَتَخَلَّى عَنِّي وَيَنْكُثَ عَهْدِي الَّذِي أَبْرَمْتُهُ مَعَهُ، | ١٦ |
17 Then my anger shall be kindled against them in that day, and I will forsake them, and I will hide my face from them, and they shall be devoured, and many evils and troubles shall come on them; so that they will say in that day, ‘Haven’t these evils come on us because our God is not among us?’
| فَيَحْتَدِمُ غَضَبِي عَلَيْهِ فِي ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ، وَأَنْبِذُهُ وَأَحْجُبُ وَجْهِي عَنْهُ، فَيَكُونُ فَرِيسَةً. وَتَلْحَقُ بِهِ شُرُورٌ كَثِيرَةٌ وَمَصَائِبُ، حَتَّى يَقُولَ: أَلَيْسَ لأَنَّ إِلَهِي قَدْ هَجَرَنِي، قَدْ أَصَابَتْنِي هَذِهِ الشُّرُورُ؟ | ١٧ |
18 I will surely hide my face in that day for all the evil which they have done, in that they have turned to other gods.
| وَأَحْجُبُ وَجْهِي عَنْهُمْ مِنْ أَجْلِ جَمِيعِ مَا ارْتَكَبُوهُ مِنْ شُرُورٍ، إِذْ سَعَوْا وَرَاءَ آلِهَةٍ أُخْرَى. | ١٨ |
19 “Now therefore write this song for yourselves, and teach it to the children of Israel. Put it in their mouths, that this song may be a witness for me against the children of Israel.
| فَالآنَ دَوِّنُوا لأَنْفُسِكُمْ هَذَا النَّشِيدَ وَعَلِّمُوهُ لِبَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ. ضَعُوهُ فِي أَفْوَاهِهِمْ لِيَكُونَ هَذَا النَّشِيدُ شَهَادَةً عَلَيْهِمْ. | ١٩ |
20 For when I have brought them into the land which I swore to their fathers, flowing with milk and honey, and they have eaten and filled themselves, and grown fat, then they will turn to other gods, and serve them, and despise me, and break my covenant.
| لأَنِّي حَالَمَا أُدْخِلُهُمْ إِلَى الأَرْضِ الَّتِي تَفِيضُ لَبَناً وَعَسَلاً، هَذِهِ الأَرْضِ الَّتِي حَلَفْتُ أَنْ تَكُونَ لِآبَائِهِمْ، فَيَأْكُلُونَ وَيَشْبَعُونَ وَيَسْمَنُونَ، فَإِنَّهُمْ يَسْعَوْنَ وَرَاءَ آلِهَةٍ أُخْرَى وَيَعْبُدُونَهَا وَيَزْدَرُونَ بِي نَاقِضِينَ عَهْدِي. | ٢٠ |
21 It will happen, when many evils and troubles have come on them, that this song will testify before them as a witness; for it will not be forgotten out of the mouths of their descendants; for I know their ways and what they are doing today, before I have brought them into the land which I promised them.”
| فَمَتَى حَلَّتْ بِهِمْ شُرُورٌ كَثِيرَةٌ وَمَصَائِبُ جَمَّةٌ، يَشْهَدُ هَذَا النَّشِيدُ عَلَيْهِمْ، لأَنَّهُ سَيَظَلُّ يَتَرَدَّدُ عَلَى أَفْوَاهِ ذُرِّيَّتِهِمْ، إِذْ إِنَّنِي عَالِمٌ بِخَوَاطِرِهِمِ الَّتِي تَدُورُ بِخَلَدِهِمِ الآنَ قَبْلَ أَنْ أُدْخِلَهُمْ إِلَى الأَرْضِ كَمَا حَلَفْتُ». | ٢١ |
22 So Moses wrote this song the same day, and taught it to the children of Israel.
| فَكَتَبَ مُوسَى هَذَا النَّشِيدَ فِي ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ، وَعَلَّمَهُ لِبَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ. | ٢٢ |
23 He commissioned Joshua the son of Nun, and said, “Be strong and courageous; for you shall bring the children of Israel into the land which I swore to them. I will be with you.”
| وَأَوْصَى الرَّبُّ يَشُوعَ بْنَ نُونَ قَائِلاً: «تَقَوَّ وَتَشَجَّعْ، لأَنَّكَ أَنْتَ تُدْخِلُ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ إِلَى الأَرْضِ الَّتِي أَقْسَمْتُ لَهُمْ عَلَيْهَا، وَأَنَا أَكُونُ مَعَكَ». | ٢٣ |
24 When Moses had finished writing the words of this law in a book, until they were finished,
| وَعِنْدَمَا أَتَمَّ مُوسَى تَدْوِينَ نُصُوصِ هَذِهِ التَّوْرَاةِ كَامِلَةً فِي كِتَابٍ، | ٢٤ |
25 Moses commanded the Levites, who bore the ark of the LORD’s covenant, saying,
| أَمَرَ اللّاوِيِّينَ حَامِلِي تَابُوتِ عَهْدِ الرَّبِّ قَائِلاً: | ٢٥ |
26 “Take this book of the law, and put it by the side of the ark of the LORD your God’s covenant, that it may be there for a witness against you.
| «خُذُوا كِتَابَ التَّوْرَاةِ هَذَا وَضَعُوهُ إِلَى جِوَارِ تَابُوتِ عَهْدِ الرَّبِّ إِلَهِكُمْ، لِيَكُونَ هُنَاكَ شَاهِداً عَلَيْكُمْ، | ٢٦ |
27 For I know your rebellion and your stiff neck. Behold, while I am yet alive with you today, you have been rebellious against the LORD. How much more after my death?
| لأَنِّي أَعْرِفُ تَمَرُّدَكُمْ وَقَسَاوَةَ قُلُوبِكُمْ. إِذْ وَأَنَا مَازِلْتُ حَيًّا مَعَكُمُ الْيَوْمَ أَخَذْتُمْ فِي مُقَاوَمَةِ الرَّبِّ. فَكَمْ بِالأَحْرَى تَتَمَرَّدُونَ بَعْدَ مَوْتِي؟ | ٢٧ |
28 Assemble to me all the elders of your tribes and your officers, that I may speak these words in their ears, and call heaven and earth to witness against them.
| اِجْمَعُوا إِلَيَّ جَمِيعَ شُيُوخِ أَسْبَاطِكُمْ وَعُرَفَاءَكُمْ، لأَتْلُوَ عَلَى مَسَامِعِهِمْ هَذِهِ الْكَلِمَاتِ، وَأُشْهِدَ عَلَيْهِمِ السَّمَاءَ وَالأَرْضَ. | ٢٨ |
29 For I know that after my death you will utterly corrupt yourselves, and turn away from the way which I have commanded you; and evil will happen to you in the latter days, because you will do that which is evil in the LORD’s sight, to provoke him to anger through the work of your hands.”
| لأَنَّنِي وَاثِقٌ أَنَّكُمْ بَعْدَ مَوْتِي تَفْسَدُونَ وَتَضِلُّونَ عَنِ الطَّرِيقِ الَّتِي أَوْصَيْتُكُمْ بِها، فَيُصِيبُكُمُ الشَّرُّ فِي آخِرِ الأَيَّامِ، لأَنَّكُمْ تَقْتَرِفُونَ الشَّرَّ أَمَامَ الرَّبِّ حَتَّى تُثِيرُوا غَيْظَهُ بِمَا تَجْنِيهِ أَيْدِيكُمْ.» | ٢٩ |
30 Moses spoke in the ears of all the assembly of Israel the words of this song, until they were finished.
| فَتَلا مُوسَى فِي مَسَامِعِ كُلِّ جَمَاعَةِ إِسْرَائِيلَ كُلَّ كَلِمَاتِ أَبْيَاتِ هَذَا النَّشِيدِ. | ٣٠ |
