Deuteronomy 8

«جَمِيعَ الْوَصَايَا الَّتِي أَنَا أُوصِيكُمْ بِهَا الْيَوْمَ تَحْفَظُونَ لِتَعْمَلُوهَا، لِكَيْ تَحَيَوْا وَتَكْثُرُوا وَتَدْخُلُوا وَتَمْتَلِكُوا الأَرْضَ الَّتِي أَقْسَمَ الرَّبُّ لآبَائِكُمْ.

All the commandments which I command thee this day shall ye observe to do, that ye may live, and multiply, and go in and possess the land which the LORD sware unto your fathers.

وَتَتَذَكَّرُ كُلَّ الطَّرِيقِ الَّتِي فِيهَا سَارَ بِكَ الرَّبُّ إِلهُكَ هذِهِ الأَرْبَعِينَ سَنَةً فِي الْقَفْرِ، لِكَيْ يُذِلَّكَ وَيُجَرِّبَكَ لِيَعْرِفَ مَا فِي قَلْبِكَ: أَتَحْفَظُ وَصَايَاهُ أَمْ لاَ؟

And thou shalt remember all the way which the LORD thy God led thee these forty years in the wilderness, to humble thee, and to prove thee, to know what was in thine heart, whether thou wouldest keep his commandments, or no.

فَأَذَلَّكَ وَأَجَاعَكَ وَأَطْعَمَكَ الْمَنَّ الَّذِي لَمْ تَكُنْ تَعْرِفُهُ وَلاَ عَرَفَهُ آبَاؤُكَ، لِكَيْ يُعَلِّمَكَ أَنَّهُ لَيْسَ بِالْخُبْزِ وَحْدَهُ يَحْيَا الإِنْسَانُ، بَلْ بِكُلِّ مَا يَخْرُجُ مِنْ فَمِ الرَّبِّ يَحْيَا الإِنْسَانُ.

And he humbled thee, and suffered thee to hunger, and fed thee with manna, which thou knewest not, neither did thy fathers know; that he might make thee know that man doth not live by bread only, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of the LORD doth man live.

ثِيَابُكَ لَمْ تَبْلَ عَلَيْكَ، وَرِجْلُكَ لَمْ تَتَوَرَّمْ هذِهِ الأَرْبَعِينَ سَنَةً.

Thy raiment waxed not old upon thee, neither did thy foot swell, these forty years.

فَاعْلَمْ فِي قَلْبِكَ أَنَّهُ كَمَا يُؤَدِّبُ الإِنْسَانُ ابْنَهُ قَدْ أَدَّبَكَ الرَّبُّ إِلهُكَ.

Thou shalt also consider in thine heart, that, as a man chasteneth his son, so the LORD thy God chasteneth thee.

وَاحْفَظْ وَصَايَا الرَّبِّ إِلهِكَ لِتَسْلُكَ فِي طُرُقِهِ وَتَتَّقِيَهُ،

Therefore thou shalt keep the commandments of the LORD thy God, to walk in his ways, and to fear him.

لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ إِلهَكَ آتٍ بِكَ إِلَى أَرْضٍ جَيِّدَةٍ. أَرْضِ أَنْهَارٍ مِنْ عُيُونٍ، وَغِمَارٍ تَنْبَعُ فِي الْبِقَاعِ وَالْجِبَالِ.

For the LORD thy God bringeth thee into a good land, a land of brooks of water, of fountains and depths that spring out of valleys and hills;

أَرْضِ حِنْطَةٍ وَشَعِيرٍ وَكَرْمٍ وَتِينٍ وَرُمَّانٍ. أَرْضِ زَيْتُونِ زَيْتٍ، وَعَسَل.

A land of wheat, and barley, and vines, and fig trees, and pomegranates; a land of oil olive, and honey;

أَرْضٌ لَيْسَ بِالْمَسْكَنَةِ تَأْكُلُ فِيهَا خُبْزًا، وَلاَ يُعْوِزُكَ فِيهَا شَيْءٌ. أَرْضٌ حِجَارَتُهَا حَدِيدٌ، وَمِنْ جِبَالِهَا تَحْفُرُ نُحَاسًا.

A land wherein thou shalt eat bread without scarceness, thou shalt not lack any thing in it; a land whose stones are iron, and out of whose hills thou mayest dig brass.

فَمَتَى أَكَلْتَ وَشَبِعْتَ تُبَارِكُ الرَّبَّ إِلهَكَ لأَجْلِ الأَرْضِ الْجَيِّدَةِ الَّتِي أَعْطَاكَ.

When thou hast eaten and art full, then thou shalt bless the LORD thy God for the good land which he hath given thee.

اِحْتَرِزْ مِنْ أَنْ تَنْسَى الرَّبَّ إِلهَكَ وَلاَ تَحْفَظَ وَصَايَاهُ وَأَحْكَامَهُ وَفَرَائِضَهُ الَّتِي أَنَا أُوصِيكَ بِهَا الْيَوْمَ.

Beware that thou forget not the LORD thy God, in not keeping his commandments, and his judgments, and his statutes, which I command thee this day:

لِئَلاَّ إِذَا أَكَلْتَ وَشَبِعْتَ وَبَنَيْتَ بُيُوتًا جَيِّدَةً وَسَكَنْتَ،

Lest when thou hast eaten and art full, and hast built goodly houses, and dwelt therein;

وَكَثُرَتْ بَقَرُكَ وَغَنَمُكَ، وَكَثُرَتْ لَكَ الْفِضَّةُ وَالذَّهَبُ، وَكَثُرَ كُلُّ مَا لَكَ،

And when thy herds and thy flocks multiply, and thy silver and thy gold is multiplied, and all that thou hast is multiplied;

يَرْتَفِعُ قَلْبُكَ وَتَنْسَى الرَّبَّ إِلهَكَ الَّذِي أَخْرَجَكَ مِنْ أَرْضِ مِصْرَ مِنْ بَيْتِ الْعُبُودِيَّةِ،

Then thine heart be lifted up, and thou forget the LORD thy God, which brought thee forth out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage;

الَّذِي سَارَ بِكَ فِي الْقَفْرِ الْعَظِيمِ الْمَخُوفِ، مَكَانِ حَيَّاتٍ مُحْرِقَةٍ وَعَقَارِبَ وَعَطَشٍ حَيْثُ لَيْسَ مَاءٌ. الَّذِي أَخْرَجَ لَكَ مَاءً مِنْ صَخْرَةِ الصَّوَّانِ.

Who led thee through that great and terrible wilderness, wherein were fiery serpents, and scorpions, and drought, where there was no water; who brought thee forth water out of the rock of flint;

الَّذِي أَطْعَمَكَ فِي الْبَرِّيَّةِ الْمَنَّ الَّذِي لَمْ يَعْرِفْهُ آبَاؤُكَ، لِكَيْ يُذِلَّكَ وَيُجَرِّبَكَ، لِكَيْ يُحْسِنَ إِلَيْكَ فِي آخِرَتِكَ.

Who fed thee in the wilderness with manna, which thy fathers knew not, that he might humble thee, and that he might prove thee, to do thee good at thy latter end;

وَلِئَلاَّ تَقُولَ فِي قَلْبِكَ: قُوَّتِي وَقُدْرَةُ يَدِيَ اصْطَنَعَتْ لِي هذِهِ الثَّرْوَةَ.

And thou say in thine heart, My power and the might of mine hand hath gotten me this wealth.

بَلِ اذْكُرِ الرَّبَّ إِلهَكَ، أَنَّهُ هُوَ الَّذِي يُعْطِيكَ قُوَّةً لاصْطِنَاعِ الثَّرْوَةِ، لِكَيْ يَفِيَ بِعَهْدِهِ الَّذِي أَقْسَمَ لآبَائِكَ كَمَا فِي هذَا الْيَوْمِ.

But thou shalt remember the LORD thy God: for it is he that giveth thee power to get wealth, that he may establish his covenant which he sware unto thy fathers, as it is this day.

وَإِنْ نَسِيتَ الرَّبَّ إِلهَكَ، وَذَهَبْتَ وَرَاءَ آلِهَةٍ أُخْرَى وَعَبَدْتَهَا وَسَجَدْتَ لَهَا، أُشْهِدُ عَلَيْكُمُ الْيَوْمَ أَنَّكُمْ تَبِيدُونَ لاَ مَحَالَةَ.

And it shall be, if thou do at all forget the LORD thy God, and walk after other gods, and serve them, and worship them, I testify against you this day that ye shall surely perish.

كَالشُّعُوبِ الَّذِينَ يُبِيدُهُمُ الرَّبُّ مِنْ أَمَامِكُمْ كَذلِكَ تَبِيدُونَ، لأَجْلِ أَنَّكُمْ لَمْ تَسْمَعُوا لِقَوْلِ الرَّبِّ إِلهِكُمْ.

As the nations which the LORD destroyeth before your face, so shall ye perish; because ye would not be obedient unto the voice of the LORD your God.
