< اَلتَّثْنِيَة 13 >

«إِذَا قَامَ فِي وَسَطِكَ نَبِيٌّ أَوْ حَالِمٌ حُلْمًا، وَأَعْطَاكَ آيَةً أَوْ أُعْجُوبَةً، ١ 1
And if there arise within you a prophet, or one who dreams a dream, and he gives you a sign or a wonder,
وَلَوْ حَدَثَتِ ٱلْآيَةُ أَوِ ٱلْأُعْجُوبَةُ ٱلَّتِي كَلَّمَكَ عَنْهَا قَائِلًا: لِنَذْهَبْ وَرَاءَ آلِهَةٍ أُخْرَى لَمْ تَعْرِفْهَا وَنَعْبُدْهَا، ٢ 2
and the sign or the wonder come to pass which he spoke to you, saying, Let us go and serve other gods, which you know not;
فَلَا تَسْمَعْ لِكَلَامِ ذَلِكَ ٱلنَّبِيِّ أَوِ ٱلْحَالِمِ ذَلِكَ ٱلْحُلْمَ، لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ إِلَهَكُمْ يَمْتَحِنُكُمْ لِكَيْ يَعْلَمَ هَلْ تُحِبُّونَ ٱلرَّبَّ إِلَهَكُمْ مِنْ كُلِّ قُلُوبِكُمْ وَمِنْ كُلِّ أَنْفُسِكُمْ. ٣ 3
you shall not listen to the words of that prophet, or the dreamer of that dream, because the Lord your God tries you, to know whether you love your God with all your heart and with all your soul.
وَرَاءَ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِكُمْ تَسِيرُونَ، وَإِيَّاهُ تَتَّقُونَ، وَوَصَايَاهُ تَحْفَظُونَ، وَصَوْتَهُ تَسْمَعُونَ، وَإِيَّاهُ تَعْبُدُونَ، وَبِهِ تَلْتَصِقُونَ. ٤ 4
You shall follow the Lord your God, and fear him, and you shall hear his voice, and attach yourselves to him.
وَذَلِكَ ٱلنَّبِيُّ أَوِ ٱلْحَالِمُ ذَلِكَ ٱلْحُلْمَ يُقْتَلُ، لِأَنَّهُ تَكَلَّمَ بِٱلزَّيْغِ مِنْ وَرَاءِ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِكُمُ ٱلَّذِي أَخْرَجَكُمْ مِنْ أَرْضِ مِصْرَ، وَفَدَاكُمْ مِنْ بَيْتِ ٱلْعُبُودِيَّةِ، لِكَيْ يُطَوِّحَكُمْ عَنِ ٱلطَّرِيقِ ٱلَّتِي أَمَرَكُمُ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكُمْ أَنْ تَسْلُكُوا فِيهَا. فَتَنْزِعُونَ ٱلشَّرَّ مِنْ بَيْنِكُمْ. ٥ 5
And that prophet or that dreamer of a dream, shall die; for he has spoken to make you err from the Lord your God who brought you out of the land of Egypt, who redeemed you from bondage, to thrust you out of the way which the Lord your God commanded you to walk in: so shall you abolish the evil from amongst you.
«وَإِذَا أَغْوَاكَ سِرًّا أَخُوكَ ٱبْنُ أُمِّكَ، أَوِ ٱبْنُكَ أَوِ ٱبْنَتُكَ أَوِ ٱمْرَأَةُ حِضْنِكَ، أَوْ صَاحِبُكَ ٱلَّذِي مِثْلُ نَفْسِكَ قَائِلًا: نَذْهَبُ وَنَعْبُدُ آلِهَةً أُخْرَى لَمْ تَعْرِفْهَا أَنْتَ وَلَا آبَاؤُكَ ٦ 6
And if your brother by your father or mother, or your son, or daughter, or your wife in your bosom, or friend who is equal to your own soul, entreat you secretly, saying, Let us go and serve other gods, which neither you nor your fathers have known,
مِنْ آلِهَةِ ٱلشُّعُوبِ ٱلَّذِينَ حَوْلَكَ، ٱلْقَرِيبِينَ مِنْكَ أَوِ ٱلْبَعِيدِينَ عَنْكَ، مِنْ أَقْصَاءِ ٱلْأَرْضِ إِلَى أَقْصَائِهَا، ٧ 7
of the gods of the nations that are round about you, who are near you or at a distance from you, from one end of the earth to the other;
فَلَا تَرْضَ مِنْهُ وَلَا تَسْمَعْ لَهُ وَلَا تُشْفِقْ عَيْنُكَ عَلَيْهِ، وَلَا تَرِقَّ لَهُ وَلَا تَسْتُرْهُ، ٨ 8
you shall not consent to him, neither shall you listen to him; and your eye shall not spare him, you shall feel no regret for him, neither shall you at all protect him:
بَلْ قَتْلًا تَقْتُلُهُ. يَدُكَ تَكُونُ عَلَيْهِ أَوَّلًا لِقَتْلِهِ، ثُمَّ أَيْدِي جَمِيعِ ٱلشَّعْبِ أَخِيرًا. ٩ 9
you shall surely report concerning him, and your hands shall be upon him amongst the first to kill him, and the hands of all the people at the last.
تَرْجُمُهُ بِٱلْحِجَارَةِ حَتَّى يَمُوتَ، لِأَنَّهُ ٱلْتَمَسَ أَنْ يُطَوِّحَكَ عَنِ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِكَ ٱلَّذِي أَخْرَجَكَ مِنْ أَرْضِ مِصْرَ مِنْ بَيْتِ ٱلْعُبُودِيَّةِ. ١٠ 10
And they shall stone him with stones, and he shall die, because he sought to draw you away from the Lord your God who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
فَيَسْمَعُ جَمِيعُ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَيَخَافُونَ، وَلَا يَعُودُونَ يَعْمَلُونَ مِثْلَ هَذَا ٱلْأَمْرِ ٱلشِّرِّيرِ فِي وَسَطِكَ. ١١ 11
And all Israel shall hear, and fear, and shall not again do according to this evil thing amongst you.
«إِنْ سَمِعْتَ عَنْ إِحْدَى مُدُنِكَ ٱلَّتِي يُعْطِيكَ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكَ لِتَسْكُنَ فِيهَا قَوْلًا: ١٢ 12
And if in one of your cities which the Lord God gives you to dwell therein, you shall hear men saying,
قَدْ خَرَجَ أُنَاسٌ بَنُو لَئِيمٍ مِنْ وَسَطِكَ وَطَوَّحُوا سُكَّانَ مَدِينَتِهِمْ قَائِلِينَ: نَذْهَبُ وَنَعْبُدُ آلِهَةً أُخْرَى لَمْ تَعْرِفُوهَا. ١٣ 13
Evil men have gone out from you, and have caused all the inhabitants of their land to fall away, saying, Let us go and worship other gods, whom you knew not,
وَفَحَصْتَ وَفَتَّشْتَ وَسَأَلْتَ جَيِّدًا وَإِذَا ٱلْأَمْرُ صَحِيحٌ وَأَكِيدٌ، قَدْ عُمِلَ ذَلِكَ ٱلرِّجْسُ فِي وَسَطِكَ، ١٤ 14
then you shall enquire and ask, and search diligently, and behold, [if] the thing is clearly true, and this abomination has taken place amongst you,
فَضَرْبًا تَضْرِبُ سُكَّانَ تِلْكَ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ بِحَدِّ ٱلسَّيْفِ، وَتُحَرِّمُهَا بِكُلِّ مَا فِيهَا مَعَ بَهَائِمِهَا بِحَدِّ ٱلسَّيْفِ. ١٥ 15
you shall utterly destroy all the dwellers in that land with the edge of the sword; you shall solemnly curse it, and all things in it.
تَجْمَعُ كُلَّ أَمْتِعَتِهَا إِلَى وَسَطِ سَاحَتِهَا، وَتُحْرِقُ بِٱلنَّارِ ٱلْمَدِينَةَ وَكُلَّ أَمْتِعَتِهَا كَامِلَةً لِلرَّبِّ إِلَهِكَ، فَتَكُونُ تَلًّا إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ لَا تُبْنَى بَعْدُ. ١٦ 16
And all its spoils you shall gather into its public ways, and you shall burn the city with fire, and all its spoils publicly before the Lord your God; and it shall be uninhabited for ever, it shall not be built again.
وَلَا يَلْتَصِقْ بِيَدِكَ شَيْءٌ مِنَ ٱلْمُحَرَّمِ، لِكَيْ يَرْجِعَ ٱلرَّبُّ مِنْ حُمُوِّ غَضَبِهِ، وَيُعْطِيَكَ رَحْمَةً. يَرْحَمُكَ وَيُكَثِّرُكَ كَمَا حَلَفَ لِآبَائِكَ، ١٧ 17
And there shall nothing of the cursed thing cleave to your hand, that the Lord may turn from his fierce anger, and show you mercy, and pity you, and multiply you, as he sware to your fathers;
إِذَا سَمِعْتَ لِصَوْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِكَ لِتَحْفَظَ جَمِيعَ وَصَايَاهُ ٱلَّتِي أَنَا أُوصِيكَ بِهَا ٱلْيَوْمَ، لِتَعْمَلَ ٱلْحَقَّ فِي عَيْنَيِ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِكَ. ١٨ 18
if you will hear the voice of the Lord your God, to keep his commandments, all that I charge you this day, to do that which is good and pleasing before the Lord your God.
