Deuteronomy 5

1 Moses called to all Israel, and said to them, “Hear, Israel, the statutes and the ordinances which I speak in your ears today, that you may learn them, and observe to do them.”

١ وَدَعَا مُوسَى جَمِيعَ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «اِسْمَعْ يَا إِسْرَائِيلُ ٱلْفَرَائِضَ وَٱلْأَحْكَامَ ٱلَّتِي أَتَكَلَّمُ بِهَا فِي مَسَامِعِكُمُ ٱلْيَوْمَ، وَتَعَلَّمُوهَا وَٱحْتَرِزُوا لِتَعْمَلُوهَا.

2 The LORD our God made a covenant with us in Horeb.

٢ اَلرَّبُّ إِلَهُنَا قَطَعَ مَعَنَا عَهْدًا فِي حُورِيبَ.

3 The LORD didn’t make this covenant with our fathers, but with us, even us, who are all of us here alive today.

٣ لَيْسَ مَعَ آبَائِنَا قَطَعَ ٱلرَّبُّ هَذَا ٱلْعَهْدَ، بَلْ مَعَنَا نَحْنُ ٱلَّذِينَ هُنَا ٱلْيَوْمَ جَمِيعُنَا أَحْيَاءٌ.

4 The LORD spoke with you face to face on the mountain out of the middle of the fire,

٤ وَجْهًا لِوَجْهٍ تَكَلَّمَ ٱلرَّبُّ مَعَنَا فِي ٱلْجَبَلِ مِنْ وَسَطِ ٱلنَّارِ.

5 (I stood between the LORD and you at that time, to show you the LORD’s word; for you were afraid because of the fire, and didn’t go up onto the mountain) saying,

٥ أَنَا كُنْتُ وَاقِفًا بَيْنَ ٱلرَّبِّ وَبَيْنَكُمْ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْوَقْتِ لِكَيْ أُخْبِرَكُمْ بِكَلَامِ ٱلرَّبِّ، لِأَنَّكُمْ خِفْتُمْ مِنْ أَجْلِ ٱلنَّارِ، وَلَمْ تَصْعَدُوا إِلَى ٱلْجَبَلِ. فَقَالَ:

6 “I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.

٦ أَنَا هُوَ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكَ ٱلَّذِي أَخْرَجَكَ مِنْ أَرْضِ مِصْرَ مِنْ بَيْتِ ٱلْعُبُودِيَّةِ.

7 “You shall have no other gods before me.

٧ لَا يَكُنْ لَكَ آلِهَةٌ أُخْرَى أَمَامِي.

8 “You shall not make a carved image for yourself—any likeness of what is in heaven above, or what is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth.

٨ لَا تَصْنَعْ لَكَ تِمْثَالًا مَنْحُوتًا صُورَةً مَّا مِمَّا فِي ٱلسَّمَاءِ مِنْ فَوْقُ وَمَا فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ مِنْ أَسْفَلُ وَمَا فِي ٱلْمَاءِ مِنْ تَحْتِ ٱلْأَرْضِ.

9 You shall not bow yourself down to them, nor serve them, for I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children and on the third and on the fourth generation of those who hate me

٩ لَا تَسْجُدْ لَهُنَّ وَلَا تَعْبُدْهُنَّ، لِأَنِّي أَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكَ إِلَهٌ غَيُورٌ، أَفْتَقِدُ ذُنُوبَ ٱلْآبَاءِ فِي ٱلْأَبْنَاءِ وَفِي ٱلْجِيلِ ٱلثَّالِثِ وَٱلرَّابِعِ مِنَ ٱلَّذِينَ يُبْغِضُونَنِي،

10 and showing loving kindness to thousands of those who love me and keep my commandments.

١٠ وَأَصْنَعُ إِحْسَانًا إِلَى أُلُوفٍ مِنْ مُحِبِّيَّ وَحَافِظِي وَصَايَايَ.

11 “You shall not misuse the name of the LORD your God; for the LORD will not hold him guiltless who misuses his name.

١١ لَا تَنْطِقْ بِٱسْمِ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِكَ بَاطِلًا، لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ لَا يُبْرِئُ مَنْ نَطَقَ بِٱسْمِهِ بَاطِلًا.

12 “Observe the Sabbath day, to keep it holy, as the LORD your God commanded you.

١٢ اِحْفَظْ يَوْمَ ٱلسَّبْتِ لِتُقَدِّسَهُ كَمَا أَوْصَاكَ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكَ.

13 You shall labour six days, and do all your work;

١٣ سِتَّةَ أَيَّامٍ تَشْتَغِلُ وَتَعْمَلُ جَمِيعَ أَعْمَالِكَ،

14 but the seventh day is a Sabbath to the LORD your God, in which you shall not do any work—neither you, nor your son, nor your daughter, nor your male servant, nor your female servant, nor your ox, nor your donkey, nor any of your livestock, nor your stranger who is within your gates; that your male servant and your female servant may rest as well as you.

١٤ وَأَمَّا ٱلْيَوْمُ ٱلسَّابِعُ فَسَبْتٌ لِلرَّبِّ إِلَهِكَ، لَا تَعْمَلْ فِيهِ عَمَلًا مَّا أَنْتَ وَٱبْنُكَ وَٱبْنَتُكَ وَعَبْدُكَ وَأَمَتُكَ وَثَوْرُكَ وَحِمَارُكَ وَكُلُّ بَهَائِمِكَ، وَنَزِيلُكَ ٱلَّذِي فِي أَبْوَابِكَ لِكَيْ يَسْتَرِيحَ، عَبْدُكَ وَأَمَتُكَ مِثْلَكَ.

15 You shall remember that you were a servant in the land of Egypt, and the LORD your God brought you out of there by a mighty hand and by an outstretched arm. Therefore the LORD your God commanded you to keep the Sabbath day.

١٥ وَٱذْكُرْ أَنَّكَ كُنْتَ عَبْدًا فِي أَرْضِ مِصْرَ، فَأَخْرَجَكَ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكَ مِنْ هُنَاكَ بِيَدٍ شَدِيدَةٍ وَذِرَاعٍ مَمْدُودَةٍ. لِأَجْلِ ذَلِكَ أَوْصَاكَ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكَ أَنْ تَحْفَظَ يَوْمَ ٱلسَّبْتِ.

16 “Honour your father and your mother, as the LORD your God commanded you, that your days may be long and that it may go well with you in the land which the LORD your God gives you.

١٦ أَكْرِمْ أَبَاكَ وَأُمَّكَ كَمَا أَوْصَاكَ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكَ، لِكَيْ تَطُولَ أَيَّامُكَ، وَلِكَيْ يَكُونَ لَكَ خَيْرٌ عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ ٱلَّتِي يُعْطِيكَ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكَ.

17 “You shall not murder.

١٧ لَا تَقْتُلْ،

18 “You shall not commit adultery.

١٨ وَلَا تَزْنِ،

19 “You shall not steal.

١٩ وَلَا تَسْرِقْ،

20 “You shall not give false testimony against your neighbour.

٢٠ وَلَا تَشْهَدْ عَلَى قَرِيبِكَ شَهَادَةَ زُورٍ،

21 “You shall not covet your neighbour’s wife. Neither shall you desire your neighbour’s house, his field, or his male servant, or his female servant, his ox, or his donkey, or anything that is your neighbour’s.”

٢١ وَلَا تَشْتَهِ ٱمْرَأَةَ قَرِيبِكَ، وَلَا تَشْتَهِ بَيْتَ قَرِيبِكَ وَلَا حَقْلَهُ وَلَا عَبْدَهُ وَلَا أَمَتَهُ وَلَا ثَوْرَهُ وَلَا حِمَارَهُ وَلَا كُلَّ مَا لِقَرِيبِكَ.

22 The LORD spoke these words to all your assembly on the mountain out of the middle of the fire, of the cloud, and of the thick darkness, with a great voice. He added no more. He wrote them on two stone tablets, and gave them to me.

٢٢ هَذِهِ ٱلْكَلِمَاتُ كَلَّمَ بِهَا ٱلرَّبُّ كُلَّ جَمَاعَتِكُمْ فِي ٱلْجَبَلِ مِنْ وَسَطِ ٱلنَّارِ وَٱلسَّحَابِ وَٱلضَّبَابِ، وَصَوْتٍ عَظِيمٍ وَلَمْ يَزِدْ. وَكَتَبَهَا عَلَى لَوْحَيْنِ مِنْ حَجَرٍ وَأَعْطَانِي إِيَّاهَا.

23 When you heard the voice out of the middle of the darkness, while the mountain was burning with fire, you came near to me, even all the heads of your tribes, and your elders;

٢٣ «فَلَمَّا سَمِعْتُمُ ٱلصَّوْتَ مِنْ وَسَطِ ٱلظَّلَامِ، وَٱلْجَبَلُ يَشْتَعِلُ بِٱلنَّارِ، تَقَدَّمْتُمْ إِلَيَّ، جَمِيعُ رُؤَسَاءِ أَسْبَاطِكُمْ وَشُيُوخُكُمْ

24 and you said, “Behold, the LORD our God has shown us his glory and his greatness, and we have heard his voice out of the middle of the fire. We have seen today that God does speak with man, and he lives.

٢٤ وَقُلْتُمْ: هُوَذَا ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُنَا قَدْ أَرَانَا مَجْدَهُ وَعَظَمَتَهُ، وَسَمِعْنَا صَوْتَهُ مِنْ وَسَطِ ٱلنَّارِ. هَذَا ٱلْيَوْمَ قَدْ رَأَيْنَا أَنَّ ٱللهَ يُكَلِّمُ ٱلْإِنْسَانَ وَيَحْيَا.

25 Now therefore, why should we die? For this great fire will consume us. If we hear the LORD our God’s voice any more, then we shall die.

٢٥ وَأَمَّا ٱلْآنَ فَلِمَاذَا نَمُوتُ؟ لِأَنَّ هَذِهِ ٱلنَّارَ ٱلْعَظِيمَةَ تَأْكُلُنَا. إِنْ عُدْنَا نَسْمَعُ صَوْتَ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِنَا أَيْضًا نَمُوتُ.

26 For who is there of all flesh who has heard the voice of the living God speaking out of the middle of the fire, as we have, and lived?

٢٦ لِأَنَّهُ مَنْ هُوَ مِنْ جَمِيعِ ٱلْبَشَرِ ٱلَّذِي سَمِعَ صَوْتَ ٱللهِ ٱلْحَيِّ يَتَكَلَّمُ مِنْ وَسَطِ ٱلنَّارِ مِثْلَنَا وَعَاشَ؟

27 Go near, and hear all that the LORD our God shall say, and tell us all that the LORD our God tells you; and we will hear it, and do it.”

٢٧ تَقَدَّمْ أَنْتَ وَٱسْمَعْ كُلَّ مَا يَقُولُ لَكَ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُنَا، وَكَلِّمْنَا بِكُلِّ مَا يُكَلِّمُكَ بِهِ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُنَا، فَنَسْمَعَ وَنَعْمَلَ.

28 The LORD heard the voice of your words when you spoke to me; and the LORD said to me, “I have heard the voice of the words of this people which they have spoken to you. They have well said all that they have spoken.

٢٨ فَسَمِعَ ٱلرَّبُّ صَوْتَ كَلَامِكُمْ حِينَ كَلَّمْتُمُونِي وَقَالَ لِي ٱلرَّبُّ: سَمِعْتُ صَوْتَ كَلَامِ هَؤُلَاءِ ٱلشَّعْبِ ٱلَّذِي كَلَّمُوكَ بِهِ. قَدْ أَحْسَنُوا فِي كُلِّ مَا تَكَلَّمُوا.

29 Oh that there were such a heart in them that they would fear me and keep all my commandments always, that it might be well with them and with their children forever!

٢٩ يَا لَيْتَ قَلْبَهُمْ كَانَ هَكَذَا فِيهِمْ حَتَّى يَتَّقُونِي وَيَحْفَظُوا جَمِيعَ وَصَايَايَ كُلَّ ٱلْأَيَّامِ، لِكَيْ يَكُونَ لَهُمْ وَلِأَوْلَادِهِمْ خَيْرٌ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ.

30 “Go tell them, ‘Return to your tents.’

٣٠ اِذْهَبْ قُلْ لَهُمْ: ٱرْجِعُوا إِلَى خِيَامِكُمْ.

31 But as for you, stand here by me, and I will tell you all the commandments, and the statutes, and the ordinances, which you shall teach them, that they may do them in the land which I give them to possess.”

٣١ وَأَمَّا أَنْتَ فَقِفْ هُنَا مَعِي فَأُكَلِّمَكَ بِجَمِيعِ ٱلْوَصَايَا وَٱلْفَرَائِضِ وَٱلْأَحْكَامِ ٱلَّتِي تُعَلِّمُهُمْ فَيَعْمَلُونَهَا فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ ٱلَّتِي أَنَا أُعْطِيهِمْ لِيَمْتَلِكُوهَا.

32 You shall observe to do therefore as the LORD your God has commanded you. You shall not turn away to the right hand or to the left.

٣٢ فَٱحْتَرِزُوا لِتَعْمَلُوا كَمَا أَمَرَكُمُ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكُمْ. لَا تَزِيغُوا يَمِينًا وَلَا يَسَارًا.

33 You shall walk in all the way which the LORD your God has commanded you, that you may live and that it may be well with you, and that you may prolong your days in the land which you shall possess.

٣٣ فِي جَمِيعِ ٱلطَّرِيقِ ٱلَّتِي أَوْصَاكُمْ بِهَا ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكُمْ تَسْلُكُونَ، لِكَيْ تَحْيَوْا وَيَكُونَ لَكُمْ خَيْرٌ وَتُطِيلُوا ٱلْأَيَّامَ فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ ٱلَّتِي تَمْتَلِكُونَهَا.
