Deuteronomy 29

هذِهِ هِيَ كَلِمَاتُ الْعَهْدِ الَّذِي أَمَرَ الرَّبُّ مُوسَى أَنْ يَقْطَعَهُ مَعَ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ فِي أَرْضِ مُوآبَ، فَضْلاً عَنِ الْعَهْدِ الَّذِي قَطَعَهُ مَعَهُمْ فِي حُورِيبَ.

These are the words of the covenant, which the LORD commanded Moses to make with the children of Israel in the land of Moab, beside the covenant which he made with them in Horeb.

وَدَعَا مُوسَى جَمِيعَ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «أَنْتُمْ شَاهَدْتُمْ مَا فَعَلَ الرَّبُّ أَمَامَ أَعْيُنِكُمْ فِي أَرْضِ مِصْرَ بِفِرْعَوْنَ وَبِجَمِيعِ عَبِيدِهِ وَبِكُلِّ أَرْضِهِ،

And Moses called unto all Israel, and said unto them, Ye have seen all that the LORD did before your eyes in the land of Egypt unto Pharaoh, and unto all his servants, and unto all his land;

التَّجَارِبُ الْعَظِيمَةُ الَّتِي أَبْصَرَتْهَا عَيْنَاكَ، وَتِلْكَ الآيَاتِ وَالْعَجَائِبَ الْعَظِيمَةُ.

The great temptations which thine eyes have seen, the signs, and those great miracles:

وَلكِنْ لَمْ يُعْطِكُمُ الرَّبُّ قَلْبًا لِتَفْهَمُوا، وَأَعْيُنًا لِتُبْصِرُوا، وَآذَانًا لِتَسْمَعُوا إِلَى هذَا الْيَوْمِ.

Yet the LORD hath not given you an heart to perceive, and eyes to see, and ears to hear, unto this day.

فَقَدْ سِرْتُ بِكُمْ أَرْبَعِينَ سَنَةً فِي الْبَرِّيَّةِ، لَمْ تَبْلَ ثِيَابُكُمْ عَلَيْكُمْ، وَنَعْلُكَ لَمْ تَبْلَ عَلَى رِجْلِكَ.

And I have led you forty years in the wilderness: your clothes are not waxen old upon you, and thy shoe is not waxen old upon thy foot.

لَمْ تَأْكُلُوا خُبْزًا وَلَمْ تَشْرَبُوا خَمْرًا وَلاَ مُسْكِرًا لِكَيْ تَعْلَمُوا أَنِّي أَنَا الرَّبُّ إِلهُكُمْ.

Ye have not eaten bread, neither have ye drunk wine or strong drink: that ye might know that I am the LORD your God.

وَلَمَّا جِئْتُمْ إِلَى هذَا الْمَكَانِ خَرَجَ سِيحُونُ مَلِكُ حَشْبُونَ وَعُوجُ مَلِكُ بَاشَانَ لِلِقَائِنَا لِلْحَرْبِ فَكَسَّرْنَاهُمَا،

And when ye came unto this place, Sihon the king of Heshbon, and Og the king of Bashan, came out against us unto battle, and we smote them:

وَأَخَذْنَا أَرْضَهُمَا وَأَعْطَيْنَاهَا نَصِيبًا لِرَأُوبَيْنَ وَجَادَ وَنِصْفِ سِبْطِ مَنَسَّى.

And we took their land, and gave it for an inheritance unto the Reubenites, and to the Gadites, and to the half tribe of Manasseh.

فَاحْفَظُوا كَلِمَاتِ هذَا الْعَهْدِ وَاعْمَلُوا بِهَا لِكَيْ تَفْلِحُوا فِي كُلِّ مَا تَفْعَلُونَ.

Keep therefore the words of this covenant, and do them, that ye may prosper in all that ye do.

«أَنْتُمْ وَاقِفُونَ الْيَوْمَ جَمِيعُكُمْ أَمَامَ الرَّبِّ إِلهِكُمْ: رُؤَسَاؤُكُمْ، أَسْبَاطُكُمْ، شُيُوخُكُمْ وَعُرَفَاؤُكُمْ وَكُلُّ رِجَالِ إِسْرَائِيلَ،

Ye stand this day all of you before the LORD your God; your captains of your tribes, your elders, and your officers, with all the men of Israel,

وَأَطْفَالُكُمْ وَنِسَاؤُكُمْ، وَغَرِيبُكُمُ الَّذِي فِي وَسَطِ مَحَلَّتِكُمْ مِمَّنْ يَحْتَطِبُ حَطَبَكُمْ إِلَى مَنْ يَسْتَقِي مَاءَكُمْ،

Your little ones, your wives, and thy stranger that is in thy camp, from the hewer of thy wood unto the drawer of thy water:

لِكَيْ تَدْخُلَ فِي عَهْدِ الرَّبِّ إِلهِكَ وَقَسَمِهِ الَّذِي يَقْطَعُهُ الرَّبُّ إِلهُكَ مَعَكَ الْيَوْمَ،

That thou shouldest enter into covenant with the LORD thy God, and into his oath, which the LORD thy God maketh with thee this day:

لِكَيْ يُقِيمَكَ الْيَوْمَ لِنَفْسِهِ شَعْبًا، وَهُوَ يَكُونُ لَكَ إِلهًا كَمَا قَالَ لَكَ، وَكَمَا حَلَفَ لآبَائِكَ إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَإِسْحَاقَ وَيَعْقُوبَ.

That he may establish thee to day for a people unto himself, and that he may be unto thee a God, as he hath said unto thee, and as he hath sworn unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob.

وَلَيْسَ مَعَكُمْ وَحْدَكُمْ أَقْطَعُ أَنَا هذَا الْعَهْدَ وَهذَا الْقَسَمَ،

Neither with you only do I make this covenant and this oath;

بَلْ مَعَ الَّذِي هُوَ هُنَا مَعَنَا وَاقِفًا الْيَوْمَ أَمَامَ الرَّبِّ إِلهِنَا، وَمَعَ الَّذِي لَيْسَ هُنَا مَعَنَا الْيَوْمَ.

But with him that standeth here with us this day before the LORD our God, and also with him that is not here with us this day:

لأَنَّكُمْ قَدْ عَرَفْتُمْ كَيْفَ أَقَمْنَا فِي أَرْضِ مِصْرَ، وَكَيْفَ اجْتَزْنَا فِي وَسَطِ الأُمَمِ الَّذِينَ مَرَرْتُمْ بِهِمْ،

(For ye know how we have dwelt in the land of Egypt; and how we came through the nations which ye passed by;

وَرَأَيْتُمْ أَرْجَاسَهُمْ وَأَصْنَامَهُمُ الَّتِي عِنْدَهُمْ مِنْ خَشَبٍ وَحَجَرٍ وَفِضَّةٍ وَذَهَبٍ،

And ye have seen their abominations, and their idols, wood and stone, silver and gold, which were among them:)

لِئَلاَّ يَكُونَ فِيكُمْ رَجُلٌ أَوِ امْرَأَةٌ أَوْ عَشِيرَةٌ أَوْ سِبْطٌ قَلْبُهُ الْيَوْمَ مُنْصَرِفٌ عَنِ الرَّبِّ إِلهِنَا لِكَيْ يَذْهَبَ لِيَعْبُدَ آلِهَةَ تِلْكَ الأُمَمِ. لِئَلاَّ يَكُونَ فِيكُمْ أَصْلٌ يُثْمِرُ عَلْقَمًا وَأَفْسَنْتِينًا.

Lest there should be among you man, or woman, or family, or tribe, whose heart turneth away this day from the LORD our God, to go and serve the gods of these nations; lest there should be among you a root that beareth gall and wormwood;

فَيَكُونُ مَتَى سَمِعَ كَلاَمَ هذِهِ اللَّعْنَةِ، يَتَبَرَّكَ فِي قَلْبِهِ قَائِلاً: يَكُونُ لِي سَلاَمٌ، إِنِّي بِإِصْرَارِ قَلْبِي أَسْلُكُ لإفْنَاءِ الرَّيَّانِ مَعَ الْعَطْشَانِ.

And it come to pass, when he heareth the words of this curse, that he bless himself in his heart, saying, I shall have peace, though I walk in the imagination of mine heart, to add drunkenness to thirst:

لاَ يَشَاءُ الرَّبُّ أَنْ يَرْفَقَ بِهِ، بَلْ يُدَخِّنُ حِينَئِذٍ غَضَبُ الرَّبِّ وَغَيْرَتُهُ عَلَى ذلِكَ الرَّجُلِ، فَتَحِلُّ عَلَيْهِ كُلُّ اللَّعَنَاتِ الْمَكْتُوبَةِ فِي هذَا الْكِتَابِ، وَيَمْحُو الرَّبُّ اسْمَهُ مِنْ تَحْتِ السَمَاءِ.

The LORD will not spare him, but then the anger of the LORD and his jealousy shall smoke against that man, and all the curses that are written in this book shall lie upon him, and the LORD shall blot out his name from under heaven.

وَيُفْرِزُهُ الرَّبُّ لِلشَّرِّ مِنْ جَمِيعِ أَسْبَاطِ إِسْرَائِيلَ حَسَبَ جَمِيعِ لَعَنَاتِ الْعَهْدِ الْمَكْتُوبَةِ فِي كِتَابِ الشَّرِيعَةِ هذَا.

And the LORD shall separate him unto evil out of all the tribes of Israel, according to all the curses of the covenant that are written in this book of the law:

فَيَقُولُ الْجِيلُ الأَخِيرُ، بَنُوكُمُ الَّذِينَ يَقُومُونَ بَعْدَكُمْ، وَالأَجْنَبِيُّ الَّذِي يَأْتِي مِنْ أَرْضٍ بَعِيدَةٍ، حِينَ يَرَوْنَ ضَرَبَاتِ تِلْكَ الأَرْضِ وَأَمْرَاضَهَا الَّتِي يُمْرِضُهَا بِهَا الرَّبُّ.

So that the generation to come of your children that shall rise up after you, and the stranger that shall come from a far land, shall say, when they see the plagues of that land, and the sicknesses which the LORD hath laid upon it;

كِبْرِيتٌ وَمِلْحٌ، كُلُّ أَرْضِهَا حَرِيقٌ، لاَ تُزْرَعُ وَلاَ تُنْبِتُ وَلاَ يَطْلُعُ فِيهَا عُشْبٌ مَا، كَانْقِلاَبِ سَدُومَ وَعَمُورَةَ وَأَدْمَةَ وَصَبُويِيمَ، الَّتِي قَلَبَهَا الرَّبُّ بِغَضَبِهِ وَسَخَطِهِ.

And that the whole land thereof is brimstone, and salt, and burning, that it is not sown, nor beareth, nor any grass groweth therein, like the overthrow of Sodom, and Gomorrah, Admah, and Zeboim, which the LORD overthrew in his anger, and in his wrath:

وَيَقُولُ جَمِيعُ الأُمَمِ: لِمَاذَا فَعَلَ الرَّبُّ هكَذَا بِهذِهِ الأَرْضِ؟ لِمَاذَا حُمُوُّ هذَا الْغَضَبِ الْعَظِيمِ؟

Even all nations shall say, Wherefore hath the LORD done thus unto this land? what meaneth the heat of this great anger?

فَيَقُولُونَ: لأَنَّهُمْ تَرَكُوا عَهْدَ الرَّبِّ إِلهِ آبَائِهِمِ الَّذِي قَطَعَهُ مَعَهُمْ حِينَ أَخْرَجَهُمْ مِنْ أَرْضِ مِصْرَ،

Then men shall say, Because they have forsaken the covenant of the LORD God of their fathers, which he made with them when he brought them forth out of the land of Egypt:

وَذَهَبُوا وَعَبَدُوا آلِهَةً أُخْرَى وَسَجَدُوا لَهَا. آلِهَةً لَمْ يَعْرِفُوهَا وَلاَ قُسِمَتْ لَهُمْ.

For they went and served other gods, and worshipped them, gods whom they knew not, and whom he had not given unto them:

فَاشْتَعَلَ غَضَبُ الرَّبِّ عَلَى تِلْكَ الأَرْضِ حَتَّى جَلَبَ عَلَيْهَا كُلَّ اللَّعَنَاتِ الْمَكْتُوبَةِ فِي هذَا السِّفْرِ.

And the anger of the LORD was kindled against this land, to bring upon it all the curses that are written in this book:

وَاسْتَأْصَلَهُمُ الرَّبُّ مِنْ أَرْضِهِمْ بِغَضَبٍ وَسَخَطٍ وَغَيْظٍ عَظِيمٍ، وَأَلْقَاهُمْ إِلَى أَرْضٍ أُخْرَى كَمَا فِي هذَا الْيَوْمِ.

And the LORD rooted them out of their land in anger, and in wrath, and in great indignation, and cast them into another land, as it is this day.

السَّرَائِرُ لِلرَّبِّ إِلهِنَا، وَالْمُعْلَنَاتُ لَنَا وَلِبَنِينَا إِلَى الأَبَدِ، لِنَعْمَلَ بِجَمِيعِ كَلِمَاتِ هذِهِ الشَّرِيعَةِ.

The secret things belong unto the LORD our God: but those things which are revealed belong unto us and to our children for ever, that we may do all the words of this law.
