اَلتَّثْنِيَة 26

١ 1 «وَمَتَى أَتَيْتَ إِلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ ٱلَّتِي يُعْطِيكَ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكَ نَصِيبًا وَٱمْتَلَكْتَهَا وَسَكَنْتَ فِيهَا،

And it shall be when thou shalt have entered into the land, which the Lord thy God gives thee to inherit it, and thou shalt have inherited it, and thou shalt have dwelt upon it,

٢ 2 فَتَأْخُذُ مِنْ أَوَّلِ كُلِّ ثَمَرِ ٱلْأَرْضِ ٱلَّذِي تُحَصِّلُ مِنْ أَرْضِكَ ٱلَّتِي يُعْطِيكَ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكَ وَتَضَعُهُ فِي سَلَّةٍ وَتَذْهَبُ إِلَى ٱلْمَكَانِ ٱلَّذِي يَخْتَارُهُ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكَ لِيُحِلَّ ٱسْمَهُ فِيهِ.

that thou shalt take of the first of the fruits of thy land, which the Lord thy God gives thee, and thou shalt put them into a basket, and thou shalt go to the place which the Lord thy God shall choose to have his name called there.

٣ 3 وَتَأْتِي إِلَى ٱلْكَاهِنِ ٱلَّذِي يَكُونُ فِي تِلْكَ ٱلْأَيَّامِ وَتَقُولُ لَهُ: أَعْتَرِفُ ٱلْيَوْمَ لِلرَّبِّ إِلَهِكَ أَنِّي قَدْ دَخَلْتُ ٱلْأَرْضَ ٱلَّتِي حَلَفَ ٱلرَّبُّ لِآبَائِنَا أَنْ يُعْطِيَنَا إِيَّاهَا.

And thou shalt come to the priest who shall be in those days, and thou shalt say to him, I testify this day to the Lord my God, that I am come into the land which the Lord sware to our fathers to give to us.

٤ 4 فَيَأْخُذُ ٱلْكَاهِنُ ٱلسَّلَّةَ مِنْ يَدِكَ وَيَضَعُهَا أَمَامَ مَذْبَحِ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِكَ.

And the priest shall take the basket out of thine hands, and shall set it before the altar of the Lord thy God:

٥ 5 ثُمَّ تُصَرِّحُ وَتَقُولُ أَمَامَ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِكَ: أَرَامِيًّا تَائِهًا كَانَ أَبِي، فَٱنْحَدَرَ إِلَى مِصْرَ وَتَغَرَّبَ هُنَاكَ فِي نَفَرٍ قَلِيلٍ، فَصَارَ هُنَاكَ أُمَّةً كَبِيرَةً وَعَظِيمَةً وَكَثِيرَةً.

and he shall answer and say before the Lord thy God, My father abandoned Syria, and went down into Egypt, and sojourned there with a small number, and became there a mighty nation and a great multitude.

٦ 6 فَأَسَاءَ إِلَيْنَا ٱلْمِصْرِيُّونَ، وَثَقَّلُوا عَلَيْنَا وَجَعَلُوا عَلَيْنَا عُبُودِيَّةً قَاسِيَةً.

And the Egyptians afflicted us, and humbled us, and imposed hard tasks on us:

٧ 7 فَلَمَّا صَرَخْنَا إِلَى ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِ آبَائِنَا سَمِعَ ٱلرَّبُّ صَوْتَنَا، وَرَأَى مَشَقَّتَنَا وَتَعَبَنَا وَضِيقَنَا.

and we cried to the Lord our God, and the Lord heard our voice, and saw our humiliation, and our labour, and our affliction.

٨ 8 فَأَخْرَجَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ مِنْ مِصْرَ بِيَدٍ شَدِيدَةٍ وَذِرَاعٍ رَفِيعَةٍ وَمَخَاوِفَ عَظِيمَةٍ وَآيَاتٍ وَعَجَائِبَ،

And the Lord brought us out of Egypt himself with his great strength, and his mighty hand, and his high arm, and with great visions, and with signs, and with wonders.

٩ 9 وَأَدْخَلَنَا هَذَا ٱلْمَكَانَ، وَأَعْطَانَا هَذِهِ ٱلْأَرْضَ، أَرْضًا تَفِيضُ لَبَنًا وَعَسَلًا.

And he brought us into this place, and gave us this land, a land flowing with milk and honey.

١٠ 10 فَٱلْآنَ هَأَنَذَا قَدْ أَتَيْتُ بِأَوَّلِ ثَمَرِ ٱلْأَرْضِ ٱلَّتِي أَعْطَيْتَنِي يَا رَبُّ. ثُمَّ تَضَعُهُ أَمَامَ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِكَ، وَتَسْجُدُ أَمَامَ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِكَ.

And now, behold, I have brought the first of the fruits of the land, which thou gavest me, O Lord, a land flowing with milk and honey: and thou shalt leave it before the Lord thy God, and thou shalt worship before the Lord thy God;

١١ 11 وَتَفْرَحُ بِجَمِيعِ ٱلْخَيْرِ ٱلَّذِي أَعْطَاهُ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكَ لَكَ وَلِبَيْتِكَ، أَنْتَ وَٱللَّاوِيُّ وَٱلْغَرِيبُ ٱلَّذِي فِي وَسْطِكَ.

and thou shalt rejoice in all the good [things], which the Lord thy God has given thee, [thou] and thy family, and the Levite, and the stranger that is within thee.

١٢ 12 «مَتَى فَرَغْتَ مِنْ تَعْشِيرِ كُلِّ عُشُورِ مَحْصُولِكَ، فِي ٱلسَّنَةِ ٱلثَّالِثَةِ، سَنَةِ ٱلْعُشُورِ، وَأَعْطَيْتَ ٱللَّاوِيَّ وَٱلْغَرِيبَ وَٱلْيَتِيمَ وَٱلْأَرْمَلَةَ فَأَكَلُوا فِي أَبْوَابِكَ وَشَبِعُوا،

And when thou shalt have completed all the tithings of thy fruits in the third year, thou shalt give the second tenth to the Levite, and stranger, and fatherless, and widow; and they shall eat it in thy cities, and be merry.

١٣ 13 تَقُولُ أَمَامَ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِكَ: قَدْ نَزَعْتُ ٱلْمُقَدَّسَ مِنَ ٱلْبَيْتِ، وَأَيْضًا أَعْطَيْتُهُ لِلَّاوِيِّ وَٱلْغَرِيبِ وَٱلْيَتِيمِ وَٱلْأَرْمَلَةِ، حَسَبَ كُلِّ وَصِيَّتِكَ ٱلَّتِي أَوْصَيْتَنِي بِهَا. لَمْ أَتَجَاوَزْ وَصَايَاكَ وَلَا نَسِيتُهَا.

And thou shalt say before the Lord thy God, I have fully collected the holy things out of my house, and I have given them to the Levite, and the stranger, and the orphan, and the widow, according to all commands which thou didst command me: I did not transgress thy command, and I did not forget it.

١٤ 14 لَمْ آكُلْ مِنْهُ فِي حُزْنِي، وَلَا أَخَذْتُ مِنْهُ فِي نَجَاسَةٍ، وَلَا أَعْطَيْتُ مِنْهُ لِأَجْلِ مَيْتٍ، بَلْ سَمِعْتُ لِصَوْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِي وَعَمِلْتُ حَسَبَ كُلِّ مَا أَوْصَيْتَنِي.

And in my distress I did not eat of them, I have not gathered of them for an unclean purpose, I have not given of them to the dead; I have hearkened to the voice of the Lord our God, I have done as thou hast commanded me.

١٥ 15 اِطَّلِعْ مِنْ مَسْكَنِ قُدْسِكَ، مِنَ ٱلسَّمَاءِ، وَبَارِكْ شَعْبَكَ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَٱلْأَرْضَ ٱلَّتِي أَعْطَيْتَنَا، كَمَا حَلَفْتَ لِآبَائِنَا، أَرْضًا تَفِيضُ لَبَنًا وَعَسَلًا.

Look down from thy holy house, from heaven, and bless thy people Israel, and the land which thou hast given them, as thou didst swear to our fathers, to give to us a land flowing with milk and honey.

١٦ 16 «هَذَا ٱلْيَوْمَ قَدْ أَمَرَكَ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكَ أَنْ تَعْمَلَ بِهَذِهِ ٱلْفَرَائِضِ وَٱلْأَحْكَامِ، فَٱحْفَظْ وَٱعْمَلْ بِهَا مِنْ كُلِّ قَلْبِكَ وَمِنْ كُلِّ نَفْسِكَ.

On this day the Lord thy God charged thee to keep all the ordinances and judgments; and ye shall observe and do them, with all your heart, and with all your soul.

١٧ 17 قَدْ وَاعَدْتَ ٱلرَّبَّ ٱلْيَوْمَ أَنْ يَكُونَ لَكَ إِلَهًا، وَأَنْ تَسْلُكَ فِي طُرُقِهِ وَتَحْفَظَ فَرَائِضَهُ وَوَصَايَاهُ وَأَحْكَامَهُ وَتَسْمَعَ لِصَوْتِهِ.

Thou hast chosen God this day to be thy God, and to walk in all his ways, and to observe his ordinances and judgments, and to hearken to his voice.

١٨ 18 وَوَاعَدَكَ ٱلرَّبُّ ٱلْيَوْمَ أَنْ تَكُونَ لَهُ شَعْبًا خَاصًّا، كَمَا قَالَ لَكَ، وَتَحْفَظَ جَمِيعَ وَصَايَاهُ،

And the Lord has chosen thee this day that thou shouldest be to him a peculiar people, as he said, to keep his commands;

١٩ 19 وَأَنْ يَجْعَلَكَ مُسْتَعْلِيًا عَلَى جَمِيعِ ٱلْقَبَائِلِ ٱلَّتِي عَمِلَهَا فِي ٱلثَّنَاءِ وَٱلِٱسْمِ وَٱلْبَهَاءِ، وَأَنْ تَكُونَ شَعْبًا مُقَدَّسًا لِلرَّبِّ إِلَهِكَ، كَمَا قَالَ».

and that thou shouldest be above all nations, as he has made thee renowned, and a boast, and glorious, that thou shouldest be a holy people to the Lord thy God, as he has spoken.
