Deuteronomy 31

فَذَهَبَ مُوسَى وَكَلَّمَ بِهذِهِ الْكَلِمَاتِ جَمِيعَ إِسْرَائِيلَ،

And Moses went and spake these words unto all Israel.

وَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «أَنَا الْيَوْمَ ابْنُ مِئَةٍ وَعِشْرِينَ سَنَةً. لاَ أَسْتَطِيعُ الْخُرُوجَ وَالدُّخُولَ بَعْدُ، وَالرَّبُّ قَدْ قَالَ لِي: لاَ تَعْبُرُ هذَا الأُرْدُنَّ.

And he said unto them, I am an hundred and twenty years old this day; I can no more go out and come in: also the LORD hath said unto me, Thou shalt not go over this Jordan.

الرَّبُّ إِلهُكَ هُوَ عَابِرٌ قُدَّامَكَ. هُوَ يُبِيدُ هؤُلاَءِ الأُمَمَ مِنْ قُدَّامِكَ فَتَرِثُهُمْ. يَشُوعُ عَابِرٌ قُدَّامَكَ، كَمَا قَالَ الرَّبُّ.

The LORD thy God, he will go over before thee, and he will destroy these nations from before thee, and thou shalt possess them: and Joshua, he shall go over before thee, as the LORD hath said.

وَيَفْعَلُ الرَّبُّ بِهِمْ كَمَا فَعَلَ بِسِيحُونَ وَعُوجَ مَلِكَيِ الأَمُورِيِّينَ اللَّذَيْنِ أَهْلَكَهُمَا، وَبِأَرْضِهِمَا.

And the LORD shall do unto them as he did to Sihon and to Og, kings of the Amorites, and unto the land of them, whom he destroyed.

فَمَتَى دَفَعَهُمُ الرَّبُّ أَمَامَكُمْ تَفْعَلُونَ بِهِمْ حَسَبَ كُلِّ الْوَصَايَا الَّتِي أَوْصَيْتُكُمْ بِهَا.

And the LORD shall give them up before your face, that ye may do unto them according unto all the commandments which I have commanded you.

تَشَدَّدُوا وَتَشَجَّعُوا. لاَ تَخَافُوا وَلاَ تَرْهَبُوا وُجُوهَهُمْ، لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ إِلهَكَ سَائِرٌ مَعَكَ. لاَ يُهْمِلُكَ وَلاَ يَتْرُكُكَ».

Be strong and of a good courage, fear not, nor be afraid of them: for the LORD thy God, he it is that doth go with thee; he will not fail thee, nor forsake thee.

فَدَعَا مُوسَى يَشُوعَ، وَقَالَ لَهُ أَمَامَ أَعْيُنِ جَمِيعِ إِسْرَائِيلَ: «تَشَدَّدْ وَتَشَجَّعْ، لأَنَّكَ أَنْتَ تَدْخُلُ مَعَ هذَا الشَّعْبِ الأَرْضَ الَّتِي أَقْسَمَ الرَّبُّ لآبَائِهِمْ أَنْ يُعْطِيَهُمْ إِيَّاهَا، وَأَنْتَ تَقْسِمُهَا لَهُمْ.

And Moses called unto Joshua, and said unto him in the sight of all Israel, Be strong and of a good courage: for thou must go with this people unto the land which the LORD hath sworn unto their fathers to give them; and thou shalt cause them to inherit it.

وَالرَّبُّ سَائِرٌ أَمَامَكَ. هُوَ يَكُونُ مَعَكَ. لاَ يُهْمِلُكَ وَلاَ يَتْرُكُكَ. لاَ تَخَفْ وَلاَ تَرْتَعِبْ».

And the LORD, he it is that doth go before thee; he will be with thee, he will not fail thee, neither forsake thee: fear not, neither be dismayed.

وَكَتَبَ مُوسَى هذِهِ التَّوْرَاةَ وَسَلَّمَهَا لِلْكَهَنَةِ بَنِي لاَوِي حَامِلِي تَابُوتِ عَهْدِ الرَّبِّ، وَلِجَمِيعِ شُيُوخِ إِسْرَائِيلَ.

And Moses wrote this law, and delivered it unto the priests the sons of Levi, which bare the ark of the covenant of the LORD, and unto all the elders of Israel.

وَأَمَرَهُمْ مُوسَى قَائِلاً: «فِي نِهَايَةِ السَّبْعِ السِّنِينَ، فِي مِيعَادِ سَنَةِ الإِبْرَاءِ، فِي عِيدِ الْمَظَالِّ،

And Moses commanded them, saying, At the end of every seven years, in the solemnity of the year of release, in the feast of tabernacles,

حِينَمَا يَجِيءُ جَمِيعُ إِسْرَائِيلَ لِكَيْ يَظْهَرُوا أَمَامَ الرَّبِّ إِلهِكَ فِي الْمَكَانِ الَّذِي يَخْتَارُهُ، تَقْرَأُ هذِهِ التَّوْرَاةَ أَمَامَ كُلِّ إِسْرَائِيلَ فِي مَسَامِعِهِمْ.

When all Israel is come to appear before the LORD thy God in the place which he shall choose, thou shalt read this law before all Israel in their hearing.

اِجْمَعِ الشَّعْبَ، الرِّجَالَ وَالنِّسَاءَ وَالأَطْفَالَ وَالْغَرِيبَ الَّذِي فِي أَبْوَابِكَ، لِكَيْ يَسْمَعُوا وَيَتَعَلَّمُوا أَنْ يَتَّقُوا الرَّبَّ إِلهَكُمْ وَيَحْرِصُوا أَنْ يَعْمَلُوا بِجَمِيعِ كَلِمَاتِ هذِهِ التَّوْرَاةِ.

Gather the people together, men, and women, and children, and thy stranger that is within thy gates, that they may hear, and that they may learn, and fear the LORD your God, and observe to do all the words of this law:

وَأَوْلاَدُهُمُ الَّذِينَ لَمْ يَعْرِفُوا، يَسْمَعُونَ وَيَتَعَلَّمُونَ أَنْ يَتَّقُوا الرَّبَّ إِلهَكُمْ كُلَّ الأَيَّامِ الَّتِي تَحْيَوْنَ فِيهَا عَلَى الأَرْضِ الَّتِي أَنْتُمْ عَابِرُونَ الأُرْدُنَّ إِلَيْهَا لِكَيْ تَمْتَلِكُوهَا».

And that their children, which have not known any thing, may hear, and learn to fear the LORD your God, as long as ye live in the land whither ye go over Jordan to possess it.

وَقَالَ الرَّبُّ لِمُوسَى: «هُوَذَا أَيَّامُكَ قَدْ قَرُبَتْ لِكَيْ تَمُوتَ. اُدْعُ يَشُوعَ، وَقِفَا فِي خَيْمَةِ الاجْتِمَاعِ لِكَيْ أُوصِيَهُ». فَانْطَلَقَ مُوسَى وَيَشُوعُ وَوَقَفَا فِي خَيْمَةِ الاجْتِمَاعِ،

And the LORD said unto Moses, Behold, thy days approach that thou must die: call Joshua, and present yourselves in the tabernacle of the congregation, that I may give him a charge. And Moses and Joshua went, and presented themselves in the tabernacle of the congregation.

فَتَرَاءَى الرَّبُّ فِي الْخَيْمَةِ فِي عَمُودِ سَحَابٍ، وَوَقَفَ عَمُودُ السَّحَابِ عَلَى بَابِ الْخَيْمَةِ.

And the LORD appeared in the tabernacle in a pillar of a cloud: and the pillar of the cloud stood over the door of the tabernacle.

وَقَالَ الرَّبُّ لِمُوسَى: «هَا أَنْتَ تَرْقُدُ مَعَ آبَائِكَ، فَيَقُومُ هذَا الشَّعْبُ وَيَفْجُرُ وَرَاءَ آلِهَةِ الأَجْنَبِيِّينَ فِي الأَرْضِ الَّتِي هُوَ دَاخِلٌ إِلَيْهَا فِي مَا بَيْنَهُمْ، وَيَتْرُكُنِي وَيَنْكُثُ عَهْدِي الَّذِي قَطَعْتُهُ مَعَهُ.

And the LORD said unto Moses, Behold, thou shalt sleep with thy fathers; and this people will rise up, and go a whoring after the gods of the strangers of the land, whither they go to be among them, and will forsake me, and break my covenant which I have made with them.

فَيَشْتَعِلُ غَضَبِي عَلَيْهِ فِي ذلِكَ الْيَوْمِ، وَأَتْرُكُهُ وَأَحْجُبُ وَجْهِي عَنْهُ، فَيَكُونُ مَأْكُلَةً، وَتُصِيبُهُ شُرُورٌ كَثِيرَةٌ وَشَدَائِدُ حَتَّى يَقُولَ فِي ذلِكَ الْيَوْمِ: أَمَا لأَنَّ إِلهِي لَيْسَ فِي وَسَطِي أَصَابَتْنِي هذِهِ الشُّرُورُ!

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 befall them; so that they will say in that day, Are not these evils come upon us, because our God is not among us?

وَأَنَا أَحْجُبُ وَجْهِي فِي ذلِكَ الْيَوْمِ لأَجْلِ جَمِيعِ الشَّرِّ الَّذِي عَمِلَهُ، إِذِ الْتَفَتَ إِلَى آلِهَةٍ أُخْرَى.

And I will surely hide my face in that day for all the evils which they shall have wrought, in that they are turned unto other gods.

فَالآنَ اكْتُبُوا لأَنْفُسِكُمْ هذَا النَّشِيدَ، وَعَلِّمْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ إِيَّاهُ. ضَعْهُ فِي أَفْوَاهِهِمْ لِكَيْ يَكُونَ لِي هذَا النَّشِيدُ شَاهِدًا عَلَى بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ.

Now therefore write ye this song for you, and teach it the children of Israel: put it in their mouths, that this song may be a witness for me against the children of Israel.

لأَنِّي أُدْخِلُهُمُ الأَرْضَ الَّتِي أَقْسَمْتُ لآبَائِهِمِ، الْفَائِضَةَ لَبَنًا وَعَسَلاً، فَيَأْكُلُونَ وَيَشْبَعُونَ وَيَسْمَنُونَ، ثُمَّ يَلْتَفِتُونَ إِلَى آلِهَةٍ أُخْرَى وَيَعْبُدُونَهَا وَيَزْدَرُونَ بِي وَيَنْكُثُونَ عَهْدِي.

For when I shall have brought them into the land which I sware unto their fathers, that floweth with milk and honey; and they shall have eaten and filled themselves, and waxen fat; then will they turn unto other gods, and serve them, and provoke me, and break my covenant.

فَمَتَى أَصَابَتْهُ شُرُورٌ كَثِيرَةٌ وَشَدَائِدُ، يُجَاوِبُ هذَا النَّشِيدُ أَمَامَهُ شَاهِدًا، لأَنَّهُ لاَ يُنْسَى مِنْ أَفْوَاهِ نَسْلِهِ. إِنِّي عَرَفْتُ فِكْرَهُ الَّذِي يَفْكِرُ بِهِ الْيَوْمَ قَبْلَ أَنْ أُدْخِلَهُ إِلَى الأَرْضِ كَمَا أَقْسَمْتُ».

And it shall come to pass, when many evils and troubles are befallen them, that this song shall testify against them as a witness; for it shall not be forgotten out of the mouths of their seed: for I know their imagination which they go about, even now, before I have brought them into the land which I sware.

فَكَتَبَ مُوسَى هذَا النَّشِيدَ فِي ذلِكَ الْيَوْمِ وَعَلَّمَ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ إِيَّاهُ.

Moses therefore wrote this song the same day, and taught it the children of Israel.

وَأَوْصَى يَشُوعَ بْنَ نُونَ وَقَالَ: «تَشَدَّدْ وَتَشَجَّعْ، لأَنَّكَ أَنْتَ تَدْخُلُ بِبَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ الأَرْضَ الَّتِي أَقْسَمْتُ لَهُمْ عَنْهَا، وَأَنَا أَكُونُ مَعَكَ».

And he gave Joshua the son of Nun a charge, and said, Be strong and of a good courage: for thou shalt bring the children of Israel into the land which I sware unto them: and I will be with thee.

فَعِنْدَمَا كَمَّلَ مُوسَى كِتَابَةَ كَلِمَاتِ هذِهِ التَّوْرَاةِ فِي كِتَابٍ إِلَى تَمَامِهَا،

And it came to pass, when Moses had made an end of writing the words of this law in a book, until they were finished,

أَمَرَ مُوسَى اللاَّوِيِّينَ حَامِلِي تَابُوتِ عَهْدِ الرَّبِّ قَائِلاً:

That Moses commanded the Levites, which bare the ark of the covenant of the LORD, saying,

«خُذُوا كِتَابَ التَّوْرَاةِ هذَا وَضَعُوهُ بِجَانِبِ تَابُوتِ عَهْدِ الرَّبِّ إِلهِكُمْ، لِيَكُونَ هُنَاكَ شَاهِدًا عَلَيْكُمْ.

Take this book of the law, and put it in the side of the ark of the covenant of the LORD your God, that it may be there for a witness against thee.

لأَنِّي أَنَا عَارِفٌ تَمَرُّدَكُمْ وَرِقَابَكُمُ الصُّلْبَةَ. هُوَذَا وَأَنَا بَعْدُ حَيٌّ مَعَكُمُ الْيَوْمَ، قَدْ صِرْتُمْ تُقَاوِمُونَ الرَّبَّ، فَكَمْ بِالْحَرِيِّ بَعْدَ مَوْتِي!

For I know thy rebellion, and thy stiff neck: behold, while I am yet alive with you this day, ye have been rebellious against the LORD; and how much more after my death?

اِجْمَعُوا إِلَيَّ كُلَّ شُيُوخِ أَسْبَاطِكُمْ وَعُرَفَاءَكُمْ لأَنْطِقَ فِي مَسَامِعِهِمْ بِهذِهِ الْكَلِمَاتِ، وَأُشْهِدَ عَلَيْهِمِ السَّمَاءَ وَالأَرْضَ.

Gather unto 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 record against them.

لأَنِّي عَارِفٌ أَنَّكُمْ بَعْدَ مَوْتِي تَفْسِدُونَ وَتَزِيغُونَ عَنِ الطَّرِيقِ الَّذِي أَوْصَيْتُكُمْ بِهِ، وَيُصِيبُكُمُ الشَّرُّ فِي آخِرِ الأَيَّامِ لأَنَّكُمْ تَعْمَلُونَ الشَّرَّ أَمَامَ الرَّبِّ حَتَّى تُغِيظُوهُ بِأَعْمَالِ أَيْدِيكُمْ».

For I know that after my death ye will utterly corrupt yourselves, and turn aside from the way which I have commanded you; and evil will befall you in the latter days; because ye will do evil in the sight of the LORD, to provoke him to anger through the work of your hands.

فَنَطَقَ مُوسَى فِي مَسَامِعِ كُلِّ جَمَاعَةِ إِسْرَائِيلَ بِكَلِمَاتِ هذَا النَّشِيدِ إِلَى تَمَامِهِ:

And Moses spake in the ears of all the congregation of Israel the words of this song, until they were ended.
