< اَلتَّثْنِيَة 13 >

«إِذَا قَامَ فِي وَسَطِكَ نَبِيٌّ أَوْ حَالِمٌ حُلْمًا، وَأَعْطَاكَ آيَةً أَوْ أُعْجُوبَةً، ١ 1
If there arise in the midst of you a prophet, or a dreamer of dreams, and he give 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, of which he spoke to you, saying, "Let us go after other gods" (which you have not known) "and let us serve them";
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 to that dreamer of dreams: for YHWH your God proves you, to know whether you love YHWH 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 walk after YHWH your God, and fear him, and keep his commandments, and obey his voice, and you shall serve him, and cling 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
That prophet, or that dreamer of dreams, shall be put to death, because he has spoken rebellion against YHWH your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, and redeemed you out of the house of bondage, to draw you aside out of the way which YHWH your God commanded you to walk in. So you shall put away the evil from the midst of 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
If your brother, the son of your father, or the son of your mother, or your son, or your daughter, or the wife you embrace, or your friend who is closest to you, entice you secretly, saying, "Let us go and serve other gods," which you have not known, you, nor your fathers;
مِنْ آلِهَةِ ٱلشُّعُوبِ ٱلَّذِينَ حَوْلَكَ، ٱلْقَرِيبِينَ مِنْكَ أَوِ ٱلْبَعِيدِينَ عَنْكَ، مِنْ أَقْصَاءِ ٱلْأَرْضِ إِلَى أَقْصَائِهَا، ٧ 7
of the gods of the peoples who are around you, near to you, or far off from you, from the one end of the earth even to the other end of the earth;
فَلَا تَرْضَ مِنْهُ وَلَا تَسْمَعْ لَهُ وَلَا تُشْفِقْ عَيْنُكَ عَلَيْهِ، وَلَا تَرِقَّ لَهُ وَلَا تَسْتُرْهُ، ٨ 8
you shall not consent to him, nor listen to him; neither shall your eye pity him, neither shall you spare, neither shall you conceal him:
بَلْ قَتْلًا تَقْتُلُهُ. يَدُكَ تَكُونُ عَلَيْهِ أَوَّلًا لِقَتْلِهِ، ثُمَّ أَيْدِي جَمِيعِ ٱلشَّعْبِ أَخِيرًا. ٩ 9
but you shall surely kill him; your hand shall be first on him to put him to death, and afterwards the hand of all the people.
تَرْجُمُهُ بِٱلْحِجَارَةِ حَتَّى يَمُوتَ، لِأَنَّهُ ٱلْتَمَسَ أَنْ يُطَوِّحَكَ عَنِ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِكَ ٱلَّذِي أَخْرَجَكَ مِنْ أَرْضِ مِصْرَ مِنْ بَيْتِ ٱلْعُبُودِيَّةِ. ١٠ 10
You shall stone him to death with stones, because he has sought to draw you away from YHWH 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
All Israel shall hear, and fear, and shall not do any more such wickedness as this is in the midst of you.
«إِنْ سَمِعْتَ عَنْ إِحْدَى مُدُنِكَ ٱلَّتِي يُعْطِيكَ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكَ لِتَسْكُنَ فِيهَا قَوْلًا: ١٢ 12
If you shall hear tell concerning one of your cities, which YHWH your God gives you to dwell there, saying,
قَدْ خَرَجَ أُنَاسٌ بَنُو لَئِيمٍ مِنْ وَسَطِكَ وَطَوَّحُوا سُكَّانَ مَدِينَتِهِمْ قَائِلِينَ: نَذْهَبُ وَنَعْبُدُ آلِهَةً أُخْرَى لَمْ تَعْرِفُوهَا. ١٣ 13
Certain base fellows are gone out from the midst of you, and have drawn away the inhabitants of their city, saying, "Let us go and serve other gods," which you have not known;
وَفَحَصْتَ وَفَتَّشْتَ وَسَأَلْتَ جَيِّدًا وَإِذَا ٱلْأَمْرُ صَحِيحٌ وَأَكِيدٌ، قَدْ عُمِلَ ذَلِكَ ٱلرِّجْسُ فِي وَسَطِكَ، ١٤ 14
then you shall inquire, and make search, and ask diligently; and, look, if it be truth, and the thing certain, that such abomination is done in the midst of you,
فَضَرْبًا تَضْرِبُ سُكَّانَ تِلْكَ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ بِحَدِّ ٱلسَّيْفِ، وَتُحَرِّمُهَا بِكُلِّ مَا فِيهَا مَعَ بَهَائِمِهَا بِحَدِّ ٱلسَّيْفِ. ١٥ 15
you shall surely strike the inhabitants of that city with the edge of the sword, destroying it utterly, and all that is in it and its livestock, with the edge of the sword.
تَجْمَعُ كُلَّ أَمْتِعَتِهَا إِلَى وَسَطِ سَاحَتِهَا، وَتُحْرِقُ بِٱلنَّارِ ٱلْمَدِينَةَ وَكُلَّ أَمْتِعَتِهَا كَامِلَةً لِلرَّبِّ إِلَهِكَ، فَتَكُونُ تَلًّا إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ لَا تُبْنَى بَعْدُ. ١٦ 16
You shall gather all its plunder into the midst of its street, and shall burn with fire the city, and all its plunder as a whole burnt offering to YHWH your God: and it shall be a ruin forever; 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
Nothing of the devoted thing shall cling to your hand; that YHWH may turn from the fierceness of his anger, and show you mercy, and have compassion on you, and multiply you, as he has sworn to your fathers;
إِذَا سَمِعْتَ لِصَوْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِكَ لِتَحْفَظَ جَمِيعَ وَصَايَاهُ ٱلَّتِي أَنَا أُوصِيكَ بِهَا ٱلْيَوْمَ، لِتَعْمَلَ ٱلْحَقَّ فِي عَيْنَيِ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِكَ. ١٨ 18
when you shall listen to the voice of YHWH your God, to keep all his commandments which I command you this day, to do that which is right in the eyes of YHWH your God.
