< اَلتَّثْنِيَة 2 >

«ثُمَّ تَحَوَّلْنَا وَٱرْتَحَلْنَا إِلَى ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ عَلَى طَرِيقِ بَحْرِ سُوفَ كَمَا كَلَّمَنِي ٱلرَّبُّ، وَدُرْنَا بِجَبَلِ سِعِيرَ أَيَّامًا كَثِيرَةً. ١ 1
Then we turned, and took our journey into the wilderness by the way to the Sea of Suf [Reed Sea], as Adonai spoke to me; and we encircled Mount Seir many days.
ثُمَّ كَلَّمَنِي ٱلرَّبُّ قَائِلًا: ٢ 2
Adonai spoke to me, saying,
كَفَاكُمْ دَوَرَانٌ بِهَذَا ٱلْجَبَلِ. تَحَوَّلُوا نَحْوَ ٱلشِّمَالِ. ٣ 3
“You have encircled this mountain long enough. Turn northward.
وَأَوْصِ ٱلشَّعْبَ قَائِلًا: أَنْتُمْ مَارُّونَ بِتُخْمِ إِخْوَتِكُمْ بَنِي عِيسُو ٱلسَّاكِنِينَ فِي سِعِيرَ، فَيَخَافُونَ مِنْكُمْ فَٱحْتَرِزُوا جِدًّا. ٤ 4
Enjoin the people, saying, ‘You are to pass through the border of your cousins the children of Esau [Hairy], who dwell in Seir; and they will be afraid of you. Therefore be careful.
لَا تَهْجِمُوا عَلَيْهِمْ، لِأَنِّي لَا أُعْطِيكُمْ مِنْ أَرْضِهِمْ وَلَا وَطْأَةَ قَدَمٍ، لِأَنِّي لِعِيسُو قَدْ أَعْطَيْتُ جَبَلَ سِعِيرَ مِيرَاثًا. ٥ 5
Don’t contend with them; for I will not give you any of their land, no, not so much as for the sole of your foot to tread on; because I have given Mount Seir to Esau [Hairy] for a possession.
طَعَامًا تَشْتَرُونَ مِنْهُمْ بِٱلْفِضَّةِ لِتَأْكُلُوا، وَمَاءً أَيْضًا تَبْتَاعُونَ مِنْهُمْ بِٱلْفِضَّةِ لِتَشْرَبُوا. ٦ 6
You shall purchase food from them for money, that you may eat. You shall also buy water from them for money, that you may drink.’”
لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ إِلَهَكَ قَدْ بَارَكَكَ فِي كُلِّ عَمَلِ يَدِكَ، عَارِفًا مَسِيرَكَ فِي هَذَا ٱلْقَفْرِ ٱلْعَظِيمِ. اَلْآنَ أَرْبَعُونَ سَنَةً لِلرَّبِّ إِلَهِكَ مَعَكَ، لَمْ يَنْقُصْ عَنْكَ شَيْءٌ. ٧ 7
For Adonai your God has blessed you in all the work of your hand. He has known your walking through this great wilderness. These forty years, Adonai your God has been with you. You have lacked nothing.
فَعَبَرْنَا عَنْ إِخْوَتِنَا بَنِي عِيسُو ٱلسَّاكِنِينَ فِي سِعِيرَ عَلَى طَرِيقِ ٱلْعَرَبَةِ، عَلَى أَيْلَةَ، وَعَلَى عِصْيُونِ جَابِرَ، ثُمَّ تَحَوَّلْنَا وَمَرَرْنَا فِي طَرِيقِ بَرِّيَّةِ مُوآبَ. ٨ 8
So we passed by from our brothers the children of Esau [Hairy], who dwell in Seir, from the way of the Arabah from Elath and from Ezion Geber. We turned and passed by the way of the wilderness of Moab [From father].
«فَقَالَ لِي ٱلرَّبُّ: لَا تُعَادِ مُوآبَ وَلَا تُثِرْ عَلَيْهِمْ حَرْبًا، لِأَنِّي لَا أُعْطِيكَ مِنْ أَرْضِهِمْ مِيرَاثًا، لِأَنِّي لِبَنِي لُوطٍ قَدْ أَعْطَيْتُ «عَارَ» مِيرَاثًا. ٩ 9
Adonai said to me, “Don’t bother Moab [From father], neither contend with them in battle; for I will not give you any of his land for a possession; because I have given Ar to the children of Lot [Veil, Covering] for a possession.”
ٱلْإِيمِيُّونَ سَكَنُوا فِيهَا قَبْلًا. شَعْبٌ كَبِيرٌ وَكَثِيرٌ وَطَوِيلٌ كَٱلْعَنَاقِيِّينَ. ١٠ 10
(The Emim lived therein before, a people great, and many, and tall, as the Anakim.
هُمْ أَيْضًا يُحْسَبُونَ رَفَائِيِّينَ كَٱلْعَنَاقِيِّينَ، لَكِنَّ ٱلْمُوآبِيِّينَ يَدْعُونَهُمْ إِيمِيِّينَ. ١١ 11
These also are considered to be Rephaim [Descendants of Terrible one], as the Anakim; but the Moabites [Descendants of From father] call them Emim.
وَفِي سِعِيرَ سَكَنَ قَبْلًا ٱلْحُورِيُّونَ، فَطَرَدَهُمْ بَنُو عِيسُو وَأَبَادُوهُمْ مِنْ قُدَّامِهِمْ وَسَكَنُوا مَكَانَهُمْ، كَمَا فَعَلَ إِسْرَائِيلُ بِأَرْضِ مِيرَاثِهِمِ ٱلَّتِي أَعْطَاهُمُ ٱلرَّبُّ. ١٢ 12
The Horites also lived in Seir before, but the children of Esau [Hairy] succeeded them. They destroyed them from before them, and lived in their place; as Israel [God prevails] did to the land of his possession, which Adonai gave to them.)
اَلْآنَ قُومُوا وَٱعْبُرُوا وَادِيَ زَارَدَ. فَعَبَرْنَا وَادِيَ زَارَدَ. ١٣ 13
“Now rise up, and cross over the brook Zered.” We went over the brook Zered.
وَٱلْأَيَّامُ ٱلَّتِي سِرْنَا فِيهَا مِنْ قَادَشَ بَرْنِيعَ حَتَّى عَبَرْنَا وَادِيَ زَارَدَ، كَانَتْ ثَمَانِيَ وَثَلَاثِينَ سَنَةً، حَتَّى فَنِيَ كُلُّ ٱلْجِيلِ، رِجَالُ ٱلْحَرْبِ مِنْ وَسَطِ ٱلْمَحَلَّةِ، كَمَا أَقْسَمَ ٱلرَّبُّ لَهُمْ. ١٤ 14
The days in which we came from Kadesh Barnea [Consecrated Son-inconstant], until we had come over the brook Zered, were thirty-eight years; until all the generation of the men of war were consumed from the middle of the camp, as Adonai swore to them.
وَيَدُ ٱلرَّبِّ أَيْضًا كَانَتْ عَلَيْهِمْ لِإِبَادَتِهِمْ مِنْ وَسَطِ ٱلْمَحَلَّةِ حَتَّى فَنُوا. ١٥ 15
Moreover Adonai’s hand was against them, to destroy them from the middle of the camp, until they were consumed.
«فَعِنْدَمَا فَنِيَ جَمِيعُ رِجَالِ ٱلْحَرْبِ بِٱلْمَوْتِ مِنْ وَسَطِ ٱلشَّعْبِ، ١٦ 16
So, when all the men of war were consumed and dead from among the people,
كَلَّمَنِي ٱلرَّبُّ قَائِلًا: ١٧ 17
Adonai spoke to me, saying,
أَنْتَ مَارٌّ ٱلْيَوْمَ بِتُخْمِ مُوآبَ، بِعَارَ. ١٨ 18
“You are to pass over Ar, the border of Moab [From father], today.
فَمَتَى قَرُبْتَ إِلَى تُجَاهِ بَنِي عَمُّونَ، لَا تُعَادِهِمْ وَلَا تَهْجِمُوا عَلَيْهِمْ، لِأَنِّي لَا أُعْطِيكَ مِنْ أَرْضِ بَنِي عَمُّونَ مِيرَاثًا، لِأَنِّي لِبَنِي لُوطٍ قَدْ أَعْطَيْتُهَا مِيرَاثًا. ١٩ 19
When you come near the border of the children of Ammon [Tribal people], don’t bother them, nor contend with them; for I will not give you any of the land of the children of Ammon [Tribal people] for a possession; because I have given it to the children of Lot [Veil, Covering] for a possession.”
هِيَ أَيْضًا تُحْسَبُ أَرْضَ رَفَائِيِّينَ. سَكَنَ ٱلرَّفَائِيُّونَ فِيهَا قَبْلًا، لَكِنَّ ٱلْعَمُّونِيِّينَ يَدْعُونَهُمْ زَمْزُمِيِّينَ. ٢٠ 20
(That also is considered a land of Rephaim [Descendants of Terrible one]: Rephaim [Descendants of Terrible one] lived there before; but the Ammonites [Tribal people] call them Zamzummim,
شَعْبٌ كَبِيرٌ وَكَثِيرٌ وَطَوِيلٌ كَٱلْعَنَاقِيِّينَ، أَبَادَهُمُ ٱلرَّبُّ مِنْ قُدَّامِهِمْ، فَطَرَدُوهُمْ وَسَكَنُوا مَكَانَهُمْ. ٢١ 21
a great people, many, and tall, as the Anakim; but Adonai destroyed them before them; and they succeeded them, and lived in their place;
كَمَا فَعَلَ لِبَنِي عِيسُو ٱلسَّاكِنِينَ فِي سِعِيرَ ٱلَّذِينَ أَتْلَفَ ٱلْحُورِيِّينَ مِنْ قُدَّامِهِمْ، فَطَرَدُوهُمْ وَسَكَنُوا مَكَانَهُمْ إِلَى هَذَا ٱلْيَوْمِ. ٢٢ 22
as he did for the children of Esau [Hairy], who dwell in Seir, when he destroyed the Horites from before them; and they succeeded them, and lived in their place even to this day:
وَٱلْعُوِّيُّونَ ٱلسَّاكِنُونَ فِي ٱلْقُرَى إِلَى غَزَّةَ، أَبَادَهُمُ ٱلْكَفْتُورِيُّونَ ٱلَّذِينَ خَرَجُوا مِنْ كَفْتُورَ وَسَكَنُوا مَكَانَهُمْ. ٢٣ 23
and the Avvim, who lived in villages as far as Gaza, the Caphtorim, who came out of Caphtor, destroyed them, and lived in their place.)
«قُومُوا ٱرْتَحِلُوا وَٱعْبُرُوا وَادِيَ أَرْنُونَ. اُنْظُرْ. قَدْ دَفَعْتُ إِلَى يَدِكَ سِيحُونَ مَلِكَ حَشْبُونَ ٱلْأَمُورِيَّ وَأَرْضَهُ. ٱبْتَدِئْ تَمَلَّكْ وَأَثِرْ عَلَيْهِ حَرْبًا. ٢٤ 24
“Rise up, take your journey, and pass over the valley of the Arnon: behold, I have given into your hand Sihon the Amorite [Descendants of Talkers], king of Heshbon, and his land; begin to possess it, and contend with him in battle.
فِي هَذَا ٱلْيَوْمِ أَبْتَدِئُ أَجْعَلُ خَشْيَتَكَ وَخَوْفَكَ أَمَامَ وُجُوهِ ٱلشُّعُوبِ تَحْتَ كُلِّ ٱلسَّمَاءِ. ٱلَّذِينَ يَسْمَعُونَ خَبَرَكَ يَرْتَعِدُونَ وَيَجْزَعُونَ أَمَامَكَ. ٢٥ 25
Today I will begin to put the dread of you and the fear of you on the peoples who are under the whole sky, who shall sh'ma ·hear obey· the report of you, and shall tremble, and be in anguish because of you.”
«فَأَرْسَلْتُ رُسُلًا مِنْ بَرِّيَّةِ قَدِيمُوتَ إِلَى سِيحُونَ مَلِكِ حَشْبُونَ بِكَلَامِ سَلَامٍ قَائِلًا: ٢٦ 26
I sent messengers out of the wilderness of Kedemoth to Sihon king of Heshbon with words of peace, saying,
أَمُرُّ فِي أَرْضِكَ. أَسْلُكُ ٱلطَّرِيقَ ٱلطَّرِيقَ، لَا أَمِيلُ يَمِينًا وَلَا شِمَالًا. ٢٧ 27
“Let me pass through your land. I will go along by the highway, I will turn neither to the right hand nor to the left.
طَعَامًا بِٱلْفِضَّةِ تَبِيعُنِي لِآكُلَ، وَمَاءً بِٱلْفِضَّةِ تُعْطِينِي لِأَشْرَبَ. أَمُرُّ بِرِجْلَيَّ فَقَطْ. ٢٨ 28
You shall sell me food for money, that I may eat; and give me water for money, that I may drink. Just let me pass through on my feet,
كَمَا فَعَلَ بِي بَنُو عِيسُو ٱلسَّاكِنُونَ فِي سِعِيرَ، وَٱلْمُوآبِيُّونَ ٱلسَّاكِنُونَ فِي عَارَ، إِلَى أَنْ أَعْبُرَ ٱلْأُرْدُنَّ إِلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ ٱلَّتِي أَعْطَانَا ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُنَا. ٢٩ 29
as the children of Esau [Hairy] who dwell in Seir, and the Moabites [Descendants of From father] who dwell in Ar, did to me; until I pass over the Jordan [Descender] into the land which Yahweh Eloheikhem [Yahweh our God] gives us.”
لَكِنْ لَمْ يَشَأْ سِيحُونُ مَلِكُ حَشْبُونَ أَنْ يَدَعَنَا نَمُرَّ بِهِ، لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ إِلَهَكَ قَسَّى رُوحَهُ، وَقَوَّى قَلْبَهُ لِكَيْ يَدْفَعَهُ إِلَى يَدِكَ كَمَا فِي هَذَا ٱلْيَوْمِ. ٣٠ 30
But Sihon king of Heshbon would not let us pass by him; for Adonai your God hardened his spirit, and made his heart obstinate, that he might deliver him into your hand, as it is today.
وَقَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ لِي: اُنْظُرْ. قَدِ ٱبْتَدَأْتُ أَدْفَعُ أَمَامَكَ سِيحُونَ وَأَرْضَهُ. ٱبْتَدِئْ تَمَلَّكْ حَتَّى تَمْتَلِكَ أَرْضَهُ. ٣١ 31
Adonai said to me, “Behold, I have begun to deliver up Sihon and his land before you. Begin to possess, that you may inherit his land.”
فَخَرَجَ سِيحُونُ لِلِقَائِنَا هُوَ وَجَمِيعُ قَوْمِهِ لِلْحَرْبِ إِلَى يَاهَصَ، ٣٢ 32
Then Sihon came out against us, he and all his people, to battle at Jahaz.
فَدَفَعَهُ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُنَا أَمَامَنَا، فَضَرَبْنَاهُ وَبَنِيهِ وَجَمِيعَ قَوْمِهِ. ٣٣ 33
Yahweh Eloheikhem [Yahweh our God] delivered him up before us; and we struck him, his sons, and all his people.
وَأَخَذْنَا كُلَّ مُدُنِهِ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْوَقْتِ، وَحَرَّمْنَا مِنْ كُلِّ مَدِينَةٍ: ٱلرِّجَالَ وَٱلنِّسَاءَ وَٱلْأَطْفَالَ. لَمْ نُبْقِ شَارِدًا. ٣٤ 34
We took all his cities at that time, and utterly destroyed every inhabited city, with the women and the little ones. We left no one remaining.
لَكِنَّ ٱلْبَهَائِمَ نَهَبْنَاهَا لِأَنْفُسِنَا، وَغَنِيمَةَ ٱلْمُدُنِ ٱلَّتِي أَخَذْنَا، ٣٥ 35
Only the livestock we took for plunder for ourselves, with the plunder of the cities which we had taken.
مِنْ عَرُوعِيرَ ٱلَّتِي عَلَى حَافَةِ وَادِي أَرْنُونَ وَٱلْمَدِينَةِ ٱلَّتِي فِي ٱلْوَادِي، إِلَى جِلْعَادَ، لَمْ تَكُنْ قَرْيَةٌ قَدِ ٱمْتَنَعَتْ عَلَيْنَا. ٱلْجَمِيعُ دَفَعَهُ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُنَا أَمَامَنَا. ٣٦ 36
From Aroer, which is on the edge of the valley of the Arnon, and the city that is in the valley, even to Gilead, there was not a city too high for us. Yahweh Eloheikhem [Yahweh our God] delivered up all before us.
وَلَكِنَّ أَرْضَ بَنِي عَمُّونَ لَمْ نَقْرَبْهَا. كُلَّ نَاحِيَةِ وَادِي يَبُّوقَ وَمُدُنَ ٱلْجَبَلِ وَكُلَّ مَا أَوْصَى ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُنَا. ٣٧ 37
Only to the land of the children of Ammon [Tribal people] you didn’t come near; all the banks of the river Jabbok, and the cities of the hill country, and wherever Yahweh Eloheikhem [Yahweh our God] forbade us by his enjoined words.
