اَلتَّثْنِيَة 26

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

It shall be, when you have come in to the land which Adonai your God gives you for an inheritance, possess it, and dwell in 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 you shall take some of the first of all the fruit of the ground, which you shall bring in from your land that Adonai your God gives you. You shall put it in a basket, and shall go to the place which Adonai your God shall choose, to cause his name to dwell 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.

You shall come to the priest who shall be in those days, and tell him, “I profess today to Adonai your God, that I have come to the land which Adonai swore to our fathers to give us.”

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

The priest shall take the basket out of your hand, and set it down before Adonai your God’s altar.

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.

You shall answer and say before Adonai your God, “My father was a Syrian ready to perish. He went down into Egypt [Abode of slavery], and lived there, few in number. There he became a great, mighty, and populous nation.

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

The Egyptians [people from Abode of slavery] mistreated us, afflicted us, and imposed hard labor on us.

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

Then we cried to Adonai, the God of our fathers. Adonai sh'ma ·hear obey· our voice, and saw our affliction, our toil, and our oppression.

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

Adonai brought us out of Egypt [Abode of slavery] with a mighty hand, with an outstretched arm, with great terror, with signs, and with wonders;

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

and he has brought us into this place, and has given 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.

Now, behold, I have brought the first of the fruit of the ground, which you, Adonai, have given me.” You shall set it down before Adonai your God, and hawa ·bow low, prostrate· to worship before Adonai your God.

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

You shall rejoice in all the good which Adonai your God has given to you, and to your house, you, and the Levite [Descendant of United with], and the foreigner who is among you.

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

When you have finished tithing all the tithe of your increase in the third year, which is the year of tithing, then you shall give it to the Levite [Descendant of United with], to the foreigner, to the orphan, and to the widow, that they may eat within your gates, and be filled.

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.

You shall say before Adonai your God, “I have put away the holy things out of my house, and also have given them to the Levite, to the foreigner, to the orphan, and to the widow, according to all your mitzvot ·instructions· which you have enjoined me. I have not transgressed any of your mitzvot ·instructions·, neither have I forgotten them.

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.

I have not eaten of it in my mourning, neither have I removed any of it while I was unclean, nor given of it for the dead. I have sh'ma ·heard obeyed· Adonai my God’s voice. I have done according to all that you have enjoined 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 your holy habitation, from heaven, and bless your people Israel [God prevails], and the ground which you have given us, as you swore to our fathers, 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.

Today Adonai your God enjoins to you to do these statutes and judgments. You shall therefore keep 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.

You have declared today that Adonai is your God, and that you would walk in his ways, and keep his statutes, and his mitzvot ·instructions·, and his judgments, and sh'ma ·hear obey· his voice.

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

Adonai has declared today that you are le'am segulah ·people of special treasure· for his own possession, as he has promised you, and that you should keep all his mitzvot ·instructions·.

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

He will make you high above all nations that he has made, in tehilah ·praise song·, in name, and in honor; and that you may be a holy people to Adonai your God, as he has spoken.
