Deuteronomy 6

1 'And this [is] the command, the statutes and the judgments which Jehovah your God hath commanded to teach you, to do in the land which ye are passing over thither to possess it,

١ وَهَذِهِ هِيَ الْوَصَايَا وَالْفَرَائِضُ وَالأَحْكَامُ الَّتِي أَمَرَنِي الرَّبُّ إِلَهُكُمْ أَنْ أُلَقِّنَكُمْ إِيَّاهَا، لِتَعْمَلُوا بِها فِي الأَرْضِ الَّتِي أَنْتُمْ مَاضُونَ إِلَيْهَا لِتَرِثُوهَا.

2 so that thou dost fear Jehovah thy God, to keep all His statutes and His commands, which I am commanding thee, thou, and thy son, and thy son's son, all days of thy life, and so that thy days are prolonged.

٢ وَبِذَلِكَ تَتَّقِي الرَّبَّ إِلَهَكَ وَتُمَارِسُ جَمِيعَ فَرَائِضِهِ وَوَصَايَاهُ الَّتِي أَنَا أُوصِيكَ بِها أَنْتَ وَابْنُكَ وَحَفِيدُكَ كُلَّ أَيَّامِ حَيَاتِكَ فَتَطُولُ أَيَّامُكَ.

3 'And thou hast heard, O Israel, and observed to do, that it may be well with thee, and that thou mayest multiply exceedingly, as Jehovah, God of thy fathers, hath spoken to thee, [in] the land flowing with milk and honey.

٣ فَأَنْصِتُوا يَا بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ وَاحْرِصُوا عَلَى الْعَمَلِ بِها فَتَزْدَهِرُوا وَتَتَكَاثَرُوا جِدّاً فِي أَرْضٍ تَفِيضُ لَبَناً وَعَسَلاً، كَمَا وَعَدَكُمُ الرَّبُّ إِلَهُ آبَائِكُمْ.

4 'Hear, O Israel, Jehovah our God [is] one Jehovah;

٤ اسْمَعُوا يَا بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ: الرَّبُّ إِلَهُنَا رَبٌّ وَاحِدٌ،

5 and thou hast loved Jehovah thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might,

٥ فَأَحِبُّوا الرَّبَّ إِلَهَكُمْ مِنْ كُلِّ قُلُوبِكُمْ وَنُفُوسِكُمْ وَقوَّتِكُمْ.

6 and these words which I am commanding thee to-day have been on thine heart,

٦ وَضَعُوا هَذِهِ الْكَلِمَاتِ الَّتِي أُوصِيكُمْ بِها عَلَى قُلُوبِكُمْ،

7 and thou hast repeated them to thy sons, and spoken of them in thy sitting in thine house, and in thy walking in the way, and in thy lying down, and in thy rising up,

٧ وَقُصُّوهَا عَلَى أَوْلادِكُمْ، وَتَحَدَّثُوا بِها حِينَ تَجْلِسُونَ فِي بُيُوتِكُمْ، وَحِينَ تَسِيرُونَ فِي الطَّرِيقِ، وَحِينَ تَنَامُونَ، وَحِينَ تَنْهَضُونَ.

8 and hast bound them for a sign upon thy hand, and they have been for frontlets between thine eyes,

٨ ارْبُطُوهَا عَلامَةً عَلَى أَيْدِيكُمْ، وَاجْعَلُوهَا عَصَائِبَ عَلَى جِبَاهِكُمْ.

9 and thou hast written them on door-posts of thy house, and on thy gates.

٩ اكْتُبُوهَا عَلَى قَوَائِمِ أَبْوَابِ بُيُوتِكُمْ وَبَوَّابَاتِ مُدُنِكُمْ.

10 'And it hath been, when Jehovah thy God doth bring thee in unto the land which He hath sworn to thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give to thee — cities great and good, which thou hast not built,

١٠ وَمَتَى أَدْخَلَكُمُ الرَّبُّ إِلَهُكُمْ إِلَى الأَرْضِ الَّتِي أَقْسَمَ لِآبَائِكُمْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَإِسْحَاقَ وَيَعْقُوبَ أَنْ يَهَبَهَا لَكُمْ، حَيْثُ تَنْتَشِرُ مُدُنٌ عَظِيمَةٌ لَمْ تَبْنُوهَا،

11 and houses full of all good things which thou hast not filled, and wells digged which thou hast not digged, vineyards and olive-yards which thou hast not planted, and thou hast eaten, and been satisfied;

١١ وَبُيُوتٌ عَامِرَةٌ بِخَيْرَاتٍ لَمْ تَخْزِنُوهَا، وَآبَارٌ مَحْفُورَةٌ لَمْ تَحْفُرُوهَا، وَأَشْجَارُ كُرُومٍ وَزَيْتُونٍ لَمْ تَغْرِسُوهَا، فَأَكَلْتُمْ وَشَبِعْتُمْ،

12 'Take heed to thyself lest thou forget Jehovah who hath brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of a house of servants;

١٢ فَإِيَّاكُمْ أَنْ تَنْسَوْا الرَّبَّ إِلَهَكُمُ الَّذِي أَطْلَقَكُمْ مِنْ عُبُودِيَّةِ دِيَارِ مِصْرَ.

13 Jehovah thy God thou dost fear, and Him thou dost serve, and by His name thou dost swear;

١٣ فَالرَّبَّ إِلَهَكُمْ تَتَّقُونَ، وَإِيَّاهُ تَعْبُدُونَ، وَبِاسْمِهِ تَحْلِفُونَ.

14 ye do not go after other gods, of the gods of the peoples who [are] round about you;

١٤ لَا تَسِيرُوا خَلْفَ آلِهَةٍ أُخْرَى مِنْ آلِهَةِ الأُمَمِ الْمُحِيطَةِ بِكُمْ،

15 for a zealous God [is] Jehovah thy God in thy midst — lest the anger of Jehovah thy God burn against thee, and He hath destroyed thee from off the face of the ground.

١٥ لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ إِلَهَكُمْ إِلَهٌ غَيُورٌ حَالٌّ فِي وَسَطِكُمْ، فَيَحْتَدِمَ غَضَبُهُ عَلَيْكُمْ وَيُبِيدَكُمْ عَنْ وَجْهِ الأَرْضِ.

16 'Ye do not try Jehovah your God as ye tried in Massah;

١٦ لَا تَمْتَحِنُوا صَبْرَ الرَّبِّ إِلَهِكُمْ، كَمَا امْتَحَنْتُمُوهُ فِي مَسَّةَ.

17 ye do diligently keep the commands of Jehovah your God, and His testimonies, and His statutes which He hath commanded thee,

١٧ بَلِ احْفَظُوا وَصَايَا الرَّبِّ وَشُرُوطَهُ وَأَحْكَامَهُ الَّتِي أَمَرَكُمْ بِها،

18 and thou hast done that which is right and good in the eyes of Jehovah, so that it is well with thee, and thou hast gone in and possessed the good land which Jehovah hath sworn to thy fathers,

١٨ وَاصْنَعُوا مَا هُوَ صَالِحٌ وَمَرْضِيٌّ لَدَى الرَّبِّ لِتَزْدَهِرُوا وَتَدْخُلُوا وَتَرِثُوا الأَرْضَ الَّتِي أَقْسَمَ الرَّبُّ لِآبَائِكُمْ،

19 to drive away all thine enemies from thy presence, as Jehovah hath spoken.

١٩ أَنْ يَطْرُدَ جَمِيعَ أَعْدَائِكُمْ مِنْ أَمَامِكُمْ.

20 'When thy son asketh thee hereafter, saying, What [are] the testimonies, and the statutes, and the judgments, which Jehovah our God hath commanded you?

٢٠ وَإذَا سَأَلَكُمْ أَبْنَاؤُكُمْ فِي مُسْتَقْبَلِ الأَيَّامِ: مَا هِيَ الشُّرُوطُ وَالْفَرَائِضُ وَالأَحْكَامُ الَّتِي أَمَرَكُمْ بِها الرَّبُّ إِلَهُنَا؟

21 then thou hast said to thy son, Servants we have been to Pharaoh in Egypt, and Jehovah bringeth us out of Egypt by a high hand;

٢١ تُجِيبُونَهُمْ: لَقَدْ كُنَّا عَبِيداً لِفِرْعَوْنَ فِي مِصْرَ، فَأَخْرَجَنَا الرَّبُّ بِقُوَّةٍ فَائِقَةٍ،

22 and Jehovah giveth signs and wonders, great and sad, on Egypt, on Pharaoh, and on all his house, before our eyes;

٢٢ وَأَجْرَى الرَّبُّ آيَاتٍ وَعَجَائِبَ عَظِيمَةً وَمُهْلِكَةً بِمِصْرَ عَلَى فِرْعَوْنَ وَجَمِيعِ أَهْلِ بَيْتِهِ عَلَى مَرْأَى مِنَّا.

23 and us He hath brought out thence, in order to bring us in, to give to us the land which He had sworn to our fathers.

٢٣ ثُمَّ أَخْرَجَنَا مِنْ هُنَاكَ لِيَأْتِيَ بِنَا وَيُوَرِّثَنَا الأَرْضَ الَّتِي أَقْسَمَ لِآبَائِنَا أَنْ يَهَبَهَا لَنَا.

24 And Jehovah commandeth us to do all these statutes, to fear Jehovah our God, for good to ourselves all the days, to keep us alive, as [at] this day;

٢٤ فَأَمَرَنَا الرَّبُّ أَنْ نُمَارِسَ جَمِيعَ هَذِهِ الْفَرَائِضِ وَنَتَّقِيَهُ لِنَزْدَهِرَ دَائِماً وَنَظَلَّ أَحْيَاءَ كَمَا فِي هَذَا الْيَوْمِ.

25 and righteousness it is for us, when we observe to do all this command before Jehovah our God, as He hath commanded us.

٢٥ وَإذَا أَطَعْنَا جَمِيعَ هَذِهِ الْوَصَايَا بِحِرْصٍ لِنُمَارِسَهَا أَمَامَ الرَّبِّ إِلَهِنَا كَمَا أَمَرَنَا، يَكُونُ لَنَا بِرٌّ.
