اَلتَّثْنِيَة 28

١ 1 «وَإِنْ سَمِعْتَ سَمْعًا لِصَوْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِكَ لِتَحْرِصَ أَنْ تَعْمَلَ بِجَمِيعِ وَصَايَاهُ ٱلَّتِي أَنَا أُوصِيكَ بِهَا ٱلْيَوْمَ، يَجْعَلُكَ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكَ مُسْتَعْلِيًا عَلَى جَمِيعِ قَبَائِلِ ٱلْأَرْضِ،

And it shall be, if thou wilt, hearken, unto the voice of Yahweh thy God, to observe to do all his commandments which I am commanding thee to-day, then will Yahweh thy God set thee on high, above all the nations of the earth;

٢ 2 وَتَأْتِي عَلَيْكَ جَمِيعُ هَذِهِ ٱلْبَرَكَاتِ وَتُدْرِكُكَ، إِذَا سَمِعْتَ لِصَوْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِكَ.

and all these blessings shall come in upon thee, and reach thee, —because thou dost hearken unto the voice of Yahweh thy God: —

٣ 3 مُبَارَكًا تَكُونُ فِي ٱلْمَدِينَةِ، وَمُبَارَكًا تَكُونُ فِي ٱلْحَقْلِ.

Blessed shalt, thou be in the city, —and blessed shalt thou be in the field:

٤ 4 وَمُبَارَكَةً تَكُونُ ثَمَرَةُ بَطْنِكَ وَثَمَرَةُ أَرْضِكَ وَثَمَرَةُ بَهَائِمِكَ، نِتَاجُ بَقَرِكَ وَإِنَاثُ غَنَمِكَ.

Blessed shall be the fruit of thy body, and the fruit of thy ground and the fruit of thy cattle, —the young of thy kine, and the ewes of thy flock:

٥ 5 مُبَارَكَةً تَكُونُ سَلَّتُكَ وَمِعْجَنُكَ.

Blessed, shall be thy basket and thy kneading-trough:

٦ 6 مُبَارَكًا تَكُونُ فِي دُخُولِكَ، وَمُبَارَكًا تَكُونُ فِي خُرُوجِكَ.

Blessed, shalt thou be when thou comest in, —and, blessed, shalt thou be when thou goest out:

٧ 7 يَجْعَلُ ٱلرَّبُّ أَعْدَاءَكَ ٱلْقَائِمِينَ عَلَيْكَ مُنْهَزِمِينَ أَمَامَكَ. فِي طَرِيقٍ وَاحِدَةٍ يَخْرُجُونَ عَلَيْكَ، وَفِي سَبْعِ طُرُقٍ يَهْرُبُونَ أَمَامَكَ.

Yahweh will deliver thine enemies who rise up against thee, to be routed before thee, —one way, shall they come out against thee, and seven ways, shall they flee before thee:

٨ 8 يَأْمُرُ لَكَ ٱلرَّبُّ بِٱلْبَرَكَةِ فِي خَزَائِنِكَ وَفِي كُلِّ مَا تَمْتَدُّ إِلَيْهِ يَدُكَ، وَيُبَارِكُكَ فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ ٱلَّتِي يُعْطِيكَ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكَ.

Yahweh will command to be with thee the blessing, in thy storehouses and in all whereunto thou settest thy hand, —and will bless thee in the land which Yahweh thy God is giving unto thee:

٩ 9 يُقِيمُكَ ٱلرَّبُّ لِنَفْسِهِ شَعْبًا مُقَدَّسًا كَمَا حَلَفَ لَكَ، إِذَا حَفِظْتَ وَصَايَا ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِكَ وَسَلَكْتَ فِي طُرُقِهِ.

Yahweh will confirm thee unto himself for a holy people, as he sware unto thee, —because thou dost keep the commandments of Yahweh thy God, and dost walk in his ways.

١٠ 10 فَيَرَى جَمِيعُ شُعُوبِ ٱلْأَرْضِ أَنَّ ٱسْمَ ٱلرَّبِّ قَدْ سُمِّيَ عَلَيْكَ وَيَخَافُونَ مِنْكَ.

And all the peoples of the earth shall see that, the name of Yahweh, hath been called upon thee, —and shall be afraid of thee.

١١ 11 وَيَزِيدُكَ ٱلرَّبُّ خَيْرًا فِي ثَمَرَةِ بَطْنِكَ وَثَمَرَةِ بَهَائِمِكَ وَثَمَرَةِ أَرْضِكَ عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ ٱلَّتِي حَلَفَ ٱلرَّبُّ لِآبَائِكَ أَنْ يُعْطِيَكَ.

And Yahweh will cause thee to abound in that which is good, in the fruit of thy body, and in the fruit of thy cattle and in the fruit of thy soil, —upon the soil which Yahweh sware unto thy fathers, to give unto thee:

١٢ 12 يَفْتَحُ لَكَ ٱلرَّبُّ كَنْزَهُ ٱلصَّالِحَ، ٱلسَّمَاءَ، لِيُعْطِيَ مَطَرَ أَرْضِكَ فِي حِينِهِ، وَلْيُبَارِكَ كُلَّ عَمَلِ يَدِكَ، فَتُقْرِضُ أُمَمًا كَثِيرَةً وَأَنْتَ لَا تَقْتَرِضُ.

Yahweh will open unto thee his rich storehouse—the heavens, to give the rain of thy land in its season, and to bless every work of thy hand, so shalt thou lend unto many nations, but thou, shalt not borrow:

١٣ 13 وَيَجْعَلُكَ ٱلرَّبُّ رَأْسًا لَا ذَنَبًا، وَتَكُونُ فِي ٱلِٱرْتِفَاعِ فَقَطْ وَلَا تَكُونُ فِي ٱلِٱنْحِطَاطِ، إِذَا سَمِعْتَ لِوَصَايَا ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِكَ ٱلَّتِي أَنَا أُوصِيكَ بِهَا ٱلْيَوْمَ، لِتَحْفَظَ وَتَعْمَلَ

And Yahweh, will give thee, to be the head, and not the tail, and thou shalt be only above, and shalt not be beneath, —because thou dost hearken unto the commandments of Yahweh thy God, which I am commanding thee, to-day, to observe and to do;

١٤ 14 وَلَا تَزِيغَ عَنْ جَمِيعِ ٱلْكَلِمَاتِ ٱلَّتِي أَنَا أُوصِيكَ بِهَا ٱلْيَوْمَ يَمِينًا أَوْ شِمَالًا، لِكَيْ تَذْهَبَ وَرَاءَ آلِهَةٍ أُخْرَى لِتَعْبُدَهَا.

and dost not turn side from any of the words which I am commanding you to-day, to the right hand or to the left, —to go after other gods, to serve them,

١٥ 15 «وَلَكِنْ إِنْ لَمْ تَسْمَعْ لِصَوْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِكَ لِتَحْرِصَ أَنْ تَعْمَلَ بِجَمِيعِ وَصَايَاهُ وَفَرَائِضِهِ ٱلَّتِي أَنَا أُوصِيكَ بِهَا ٱلْيَوْمَ، تَأْتِي عَلَيْكَ جَمِيعُ هَذِهِ ٱللَّعَنَاتِ وَتُدْرِكُكَ:

But it shall be, if thou do not hearken unto the voice of Yahweh thy God, to observe to do all his commandments and his statutes which I am commanding thee to-day, then shall come in upon thee all these curses and shall reach thee: —

١٦ 16 مَلْعُونًا تَكُونُ فِي ٱلْمَدِينَةِ وَمَلْعُونًا تَكُونُ فِي ٱلْحَقْلِ.

Cursed, shalt thou be in the city, —and cursed, shalt thou be in the field:

١٧ 17 مَلْعُونَةً تَكُونُ سَلَّتُكَ وَمِعْجَنُكَ.

Cursed, shall be thy basket, and thy kneading-trough:

١٨ 18 مَلْعُونَةً تَكُونُ ثَمَرَةُ بَطْنِكَ وَثَمَرَةُ أَرْضِكَ، نِتَاجُ بَقَرِكَ وَإِنَاثُ غَنَمِكَ.

Cursed, shall be the fruit of thy body, and the fruit of thy ground—the young of thy kine and the ewes of thy flock:

١٩ 19 مَلْعُونًا تَكُونُ فِي دُخُولِكَ، وَمَلْعُونًا تَكُونُ فِي خُرُوجِكَ.

Cursed, shalt thou be, when thou comest in, —and, cursed, shalt thou be, when thou goest out:

٢٠ 20 يُرْسِلُ ٱلرَّبُّ عَلَيْكَ ٱللَّعْنَ وَٱلِٱضْطِرَابَ وَٱلزَّجْرَ فِي كُلِّ مَا تَمْتَدُّ إِلَيْهِ يَدُكَ لِتَعْمَلَهُ، حَتَّى تَهْلِكَ وَتَفْنَى سَرِيعًا مِنْ أَجْلِ سُوْءِ أَفْعَالِكَ إِذْ تَرَكْتَنِي.

Yahweh will send upon thee cursing, confusion and rebuke, in all whereunto thou settest thy hand that thou mayest do it, —until thou be destroyed and until thou perish quickly, because of the wickedness of thy doings, whereby thou hast forsaken me.

٢١ 21 يُلْصِقُ بِكَ ٱلرَّبُّ ٱلْوَبَأَ حَتَّى يُبِيدَكَ عَنِ ٱلْأَرْضِ ٱلَّتِي أَنْتَ دَاخِلٌ إِلَيْهَا لِكَيْ تَمْتَلِكَهَا.

Yahweh will cause to cleave unto thee—the pestilence, —until he hath consumed thee from off the soil which thou art entering to possess.

٢٢ 22 يَضْرِبُكَ ٱلرَّبُّ بِٱلسِّلِّ وَٱلْحُمَّى وَٱلْبُرَدَاءِ وَٱلِٱلْتِهَابِ وَٱلْجَفَافِ وَٱللَّفْحِ وَٱلذُّبُولِ، فَتَتَّبِعُكَ حَتَّى تُفْنِيَكَ.

Yahweh, will smite thee, with consumption and with fever, and with inflammation and with violent heat and with the sword, and with blight and with mildew, —and they shall pursue thee, until thou perish.

٢٣ 23 وَتَكُونُ سَمَاؤُكَ ٱلَّتِي فَوْقَ رَأْسِكَ نُحَاسًا، وَٱلْأَرْضُ ٱلَّتِي تَحْتَكَ حَدِيدًا.

And thy heavens which are over thy head shall become bronze, —and the earth which is under thee iron.

٢٤ 24 وَيَجْعَلُ ٱلرَّبُّ مَطَرَ أَرْضِكَ غُبَارًا، وَتُرَابًا يُنَزِّلُ عَلَيْكَ مِنَ ٱلسَّمَاءِ حَتَّى تَهْلِكَ.

Yahweh will cause the rain of thy land to be powder and dust, —out of the heavens, shall it come down upon thee, until thou be destroyed.

٢٥ 25 يَجْعَلُكَ ٱلرَّبُّ مُنْهَزِمًا أَمَامَ أَعْدَائِكَ. فِي طَرِيقٍ وَاحِدَةٍ تَخْرُجُ عَلَيْهِمْ، وَفِي سَبْعِ طُرُقٍ تَهْرُبُ أَمَامَهُمْ، وَتَكُونُ قَلِقًا فِي جَمِيعِ مَمَالِكِ ٱلْأَرْضِ.

Yahweh will give thee up to be routed before thine enemies, one way, shalt thou go out against them, and, seven ways, shalt thou flee before them, —and thou shalt become a terror unto all the kingdoms of the earth.

٢٦ 26 وَتَكُونُ جُثَّتُكَ طَعَامًا لِجَمِيعِ طُيُورِ ٱلسَّمَاءِ وَوُحُوشِ ٱلْأَرْضِ وَلَيْسَ مَنْ يُزْعِجُهَا.

And thy dead body shall become food for every bird of the heavens, and for the beast of the earth, —with none to fright them away.

٢٧ 27 يَضْرِبُكَ ٱلرَّبُّ بِقُرْحَةِ مِصْرَ وَبِالْبَوَاسِيرِ وَٱلْجَرَبِ وَٱلْحِكَّةِ حَتَّى لَا تَسْتَطِيعَ ٱلشِّفَاءَ.

Yahweh, will smite thee, with the burning sores of Egypt and with the hemorrhoids, and with scab, and with itch, —of which thou canst not be healed.

٢٨ 28 يَضْرِبُكَ ٱلرَّبُّ بِجُنُونٍ وَعَمًى وَحَيْرَةِ قَلْبٍ،

Yahweh, will smite thee, with madness and with blindness, —and with terror of heart;

٢٩ 29 فَتَتَلَمَّسُ فِي ٱلظُّهْرِ كَمَا يَتَلَمَّسُ ٱلْأَعْمَى فِي ٱلظَّلَامِ، وَلَا تَنْجَحُ فِي طُرُقِكَ بَلْ لَا تَكُونُ إِلَّا مَظْلُومًا مَغْصُوبًا كُلَّ ٱلْأَيَّامِ وَلَيْسَ مُخَلِّصٌ.

and thou shalt he groping about in noonday brightness, as the blind man gropeth in thick darkness, and thou shalt not make thy ways prosper, —but shalt be only oppressed and spoiled all the days with none to save.

٣٠ 30 تَخْطُبُ ٱمْرَأَةً وَرَجُلٌ آخَرُ يَضْطَجِعُ مَعَهَا. تَبْنِي بَيْتًا وَلَا تَسْكُنُ فِيهِ. تَغْرِسُ كَرْمًا وَلَا تَسْتَغِلُّهُ.

A wife, shalt thou betroth, and, another man shall lie with her. A house, shalt thou build, and shalt not dwell therein, —A vineyard, shalt thou plant, and shalt not throw it open;

٣١ 31 يُذْبَحُ ثَوْرُكَ أَمَامَ عَيْنَيْكَ وَلَا تَأْكُلُ مِنْهُ. يُغْتَصَبُ حِمَارُكَ مِنْ أَمَامِ وَجْهِكَ وَلَا يَرْجِعُ إِلَيْكَ. تُدْفَعُ غَنَمُكَ إِلَى أَعْدَائِكَ وَلَيْسَ لَكَ مُخَلِّصٌ.

Thine ox slaughtered before thine eyes, and thou shalt not eat thereof, Thine ass stolen from before thee, and shall not be restored to thee, —Thy flock given to thine enemies, and thou shalt have none to save.

٣٢ 32 يُسَلَّمُ بَنُوكَ وَبَنَاتُكَ لِشَعْبٍ آخَرَ وَعَيْنَاكَ تَنْظُرَانِ إِلَيْهِمْ طُولَ ٱلنَّهَارِ، فَتَكِلَّانِ وَلَيْسَ فِي يَدِكَ طَائِلَةٌ.

Thy sons and thy daughters given to another people, thine eyes looking on, and failing for them all the day, thine own hand being powerless.

٣٣ 33 ثَمَرُ أَرْضِكَ وَكُلُّ تَعَبِكَ يَأْكُلُهُ شَعْبٌ لَا تَعْرِفُهُ، فَلَا تَكُونُ إِلَّا مَظْلُومًا وَمَسْحُوقًا كُلَّ ٱلْأَيَّامِ.

The fruit of thy soil, and all thy toilsome produce, shall a people whom thou knowest not, eat up, —and thou shalt be only oppressed and crushed, all the days;

٣٤ 34 وَتَكُونُ مَجْنُونًا مِنْ مَنْظَرِ عَيْنَيْكَ ٱلَّذِي تَنْظُرُ.

so that thou shalt be mad, —for the sight of thine eyes which thou shalt see.

٣٥ 35 يَضْرِبُكَ ٱلرَّبُّ بِقَرْحٍ خَبِيثٍ عَلَى ٱلرُّكْبَتَيْنِ وَعَلَى ٱلسَّاقَيْنِ، حَتَّى لَا تَسْتَطِيعَ ٱلشِّفَاءَ مِنْ أَسْفَلِ قَدَمِكَ إِلَى قِمَّةِ رَأْسِكَ.

Yahweh, will smite thee, with a grievous boil, upon the knees and upon the legs, of which thou canst not be healed, —from the sole of thy foot even unto the crown of thy head.

٣٦ 36 يَذْهَبُ بِكَ ٱلرَّبُّ وَبِمَلِكِكَ ٱلَّذِي تُقِيمُهُ عَلَيْكَ إِلَى أُمَّةٍ لَمْ تَعْرِفْهَا أَنْتَ وَلَا آبَاؤُكَ، وَتَعْبُدُ هُنَاكَ آلِهَةً أُخْرَى مِنْ خَشَبٍ وَحَجَرٍ،

Yahweh will bring thee and thy king whom thou wilt set up over thee, unto a nation which thou hast not known, thou nor thy fathers, —and thou shalt serve there other gods of wood and of stone.

٣٧ 37 وَتَكُونُ دَهَشًا وَمَثَلًا وَهُزْأَةً فِي جَمِيعِ ٱلشُّعُوبِ ٱلَّذِينَ يَسُوقُكَ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَيْهِمْ.

Thus shalt thou become a horror, a byword, and a mockery, among all the peoples whither Yahweh thy God will drive thee.

٣٨ 38 بِذَارًا كَثِيرًا تُخْرِجُ إِلَى ٱلْحَقْلِ، وَقَلِيلًا تَجْمَعُ، لِأَنَّ ٱلْجَرَادَ يَأْكُلُهُ.

Much seed, shalt thou take out into the field, —and little, shalt thou gather in, for the locust shall consume it.

٣٩ 39 كُرُومًا تَغْرِسُ وَتَشْتَغِلُ، وَخَمْرًا لَا تَشْرَبُ وَلَا تَجْنِي، لِأَنَّ ٱلدُّودَ يَأْكُلُهَا.

Vineyards, shalt thou plant, and dress, —but wine, shalt thou not drink, neither shalt thou gather the grapes, for the worm shall eat them.

٤٠ 40 يَكُونُ لَكَ زَيْتُونٌ فِي جَمِيعِ تُخُومِكَ، وَبِزَيْتٍ لَا تَدَّهِنُ، لِأَنَّ زَيْتُونَكَ يَنْتَثِرُ.

Olive trees, shalt thou have in all thy bounds, —but with oil, shalt thou not anoint thyself, for thine olives, shall drop off.

٤١ 41 بَنِينَ وَبَنَاتٍ تَلِدُ وَلَا يَكُونُونَ لَكَ، لِأَنَّهُمْ إِلَى ٱلسَّبْيِ يَذْهَبُونَ.

Sons and daughters, shalt thou beget, and they shall not be thine, for they shall go into captivity.

٤٢ 42 جَمِيعُ أَشْجَارِكَ وَأَثْمَارِ أَرْضِكَ يَتَوَلَّاهُ ٱلصَّرْصَرُ.

All thy trees, and the fruit of thy ground, shall the grasshopper, devour.

٤٣ 43 اَلْغَرِيبُ ٱلَّذِي فِي وَسَطِكَ يَسْتَعْلِي عَلَيْكَ مُتَصَاعِدًا، وَأَنْتَ تَنْحَطُّ مُتَنَازِلًا.

The sojourner who is in thy midst, shall mount up above thee higher and higher, —whereas, thou, shalt come down lower and lower:

٤٤ 44 هُوَ يُقْرِضُكَ وَأَنْتَ لَا تُقْرِضُهُ. هُوَ يَكُونُ رَأْسًا وَأَنْتَ تَكُونُ ذَنَبًا.

he, shall lend to thee, but, thou, shalt not lend to him, —he, shall become head, and, thou, shalt become tail.

٤٥ 45 وَتَأْتِي عَلَيْكَ جَمِيعُ هَذِهِ ٱللَّعَنَاتِ وَتَتَّبِعُكَ وَتُدْرِكُكَ حَتَّى تَهْلِكَ، لِأَنَّكَ لَمْ تَسْمَعْ لِصَوْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِكَ لِتَحْفَظَ وَصَايَاهُ وَفَرَائِضَهُ ٱلَّتِي أَوْصَاكَ بِهَا.

Moreover, all these curses, shall come in upon thee, and pursue thee and overtake thee, until thou be destroyed, —because thou didst not hearken unto the voice of Yahweh thy God, to keep his commandments and his statutes which he hath commanded thee;

٤٦ 46 فَتَكُونُ فِيكَ آيَةً وَأُعْجُوبَةً وَفِي نَسْلِكَ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ.

and they shall be upon thee, for a sign, and for a wonder, and upon thy seed, unto times age-abiding.

٤٧ 47 مِنْ أَجْلِ أَنَّكَ لَمْ تَعْبُدِ ٱلرَّبَّ إِلَهَكَ بِفَرَحٍ وَبِطِيبَةِ قَلْبٍ لِكَثْرَةِ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ.

Because thou servedst not Yahweh thy God, with rejoicing, and with gladness of heart, for abundance of all things,

٤٨ 48 تُسْتَعْبَدُ لِأَعْدَائِكَ ٱلَّذِينَ يُرْسِلُهُمُ ٱلرَّبُّ عَلَيْكَ فِي جُوعٍ وَعَطَشٍ وَعُرْيٍ وَعَوَزِ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ. فَيَجْعَلُ نِيرَ حَدِيدٍ عَلَى عُنُقِكَ حَتَّى يُهْلِكَكَ.

therefore shalt thou serve thine enemies, whom Yahweh will send against thee, with hunger and with thirst and with nakedness, and with want of all things, —and he, will put a yoke of iron upon thy neck, until he hath destroyed thee.

٤٩ 49 يَجْلِبُ ٱلرَّبُّ عَلَيْكَ أُمَّةً مِنْ بَعِيدٍ، مِنْ أَقْصَاءِ ٱلْأَرْضِ كَمَا يَطِيرُ ٱلنَّسْرُ، أُمَّةً لَا تَفْهَمُ لِسَانَهَا،

Yahweh will bring against thee a nation from afar, from the end of the earth, as darteth a bird of prey, —a nation whose tongue thou canst not understand;

٥٠ 50 أُمَّةً جَافِيَةَ ٱلْوَجْهِ لَا تَهَابُ ٱلشَّيْخَ وَلَا تَحِنُّ إِلَى ٱلْوَلَدِ،

a nation of fierce countenance, —who wilt not respect an elder nor to the young, show favour;

٥١ 51 فَتَأْكُلُ ثَمَرَةَ بَهَائِمِكَ وَثَمَرَةَ أَرْضِكَ حَتَّى تَهْلِكَ، وَلَا تُبْقِي لَكَ قَمْحًا وَلَا خَمْرًا وَلَا زَيْتًا، وَلَا نِتَاجَ بَقَرِكَ وَلَا إِنَاثَ غَنَمِكَ، حَتَّى تُفْنِيَكَ.

then shall he eat the young of thy cattle and the fruit of thy ground until thou art destroyed, who will not leave for thee corn, new wine or oil, the young of thy kine, or the ewes of thy flock, —until he hath caused thee to perish.

٥٢ 52 وَتُحَاصِرُكَ فِي جَمِيعِ أَبْوَابِكَ حَتَّى تَهْبِطَ أَسْوَارُكَ ٱلشَّامِخَةُ ٱلْحَصِينَةُ ٱلَّتِي أَنْتَ تَثِقُ بِهَا فِي كُلِّ أَرْضِكَ. تُحَاصِرُكَ فِي جَمِيعِ أَبْوَابِكَ، فِي كُلِّ أَرْضِكَ ٱلَّتِي يُعْطِيكَ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكَ.

And he shall lay siege to thee in all thy gates, until thy high and fortified walls come down wherein thou wast trusting, in all thy land, —yea he will lay siege to thee in all thy gates, in all thy land which Yahweh thy God, hath given, unto thee.

٥٣ 53 فَتَأْكُلُ ثَمَرَةَ بَطْنِكَ، لَحْمَ بَنِيكَ وَبَنَاتِكَ ٱلَّذِينَ أَعْطَاكَ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكَ فِي ٱلْحِصَارِ وَٱلضِّيقَةِ ٱلَّتِي يُضَايِقُكَ بِهَا عَدُوُّكَ.

And thou wilt eat the fruit of thy body, the flesh of thy sons and of thy daughters, whom Yahweh thy God hath given unto thee—in the siege and in the straitness wherewith thine enemy will straiten thee.

٥٤ 54 ٱلرَّجُلُ ٱلْمُتَنَعِّمُ فِيكَ وَٱلْمُتَرَفِّهُ جِدًّا، تَبْخُلُ عَيْنُهُ عَلَى أَخِيهِ وَٱمْرَأَةِ حِضْنِهِ وَبَقِيَّةِ أَوْلَادِهِ ٱلَّذِينَ يُبْقِيهِمْ،

The man that is tender among you, and exceedingly delicate, his eye will be jealous of his brother and of the wife of his bosom, and of the remnant of his sons, whom be might leave behind;

٥٥ 55 بِأَنْ يُعْطِيَ أَحَدَهُمْ مِنْ لَحْمِ بَنِيهِ ٱلَّذِي يَأْكُلُهُ، لِأَنَّهُ لَمْ يُبْقَ لَهُ شَيْءٌ فِي ٱلْحِصَارِ وَٱلضِّيقَةِ ٱلَّتِي يُضَايِقُكَ بِهَا عَدُوُّكَ فِي جَمِيعِ أَبْوَابِكَ.

so that he will not give to any one of them, of the flesh of his sons which he will eat, because he hath nothing at all left him, —in the siege and in the straitness wherewith thine enemy will straiten thee within all thy gates.

٥٦ 56 وَٱلْمَرْأَةُ ٱلْمُتَنَعِّمَةُ فِيكَ وَٱلْمُتَرَفِّهَةُ ٱلَّتِي لَمْ تُجَرِّبْ أَنْ تَضَعَ أَسْفَلَ قَدَمِهَا عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ لِلتَّنَعُّمِ وَٱلتَّرَفُّهِ، تَبْخَلُ عَيْنُهَا عَلَى رَجُلِ حِضْنِهَا وَعَلَى ٱبْنِهَا وَبِنْتِهَا

The tender and delicate woman among you who hath never adventured the sole of her foot to set it upon the ground, through delicateness and through tenderness, her eye shall be jealous of the husband of her bosom, and of her own son, and of her own daughter;

٥٧ 57 بِمَشِيمَتِهَا ٱلْخَارِجَةِ مِنْ بَيْنِ رِجْلَيْهَا وَبِأَوْلَادِهَا ٱلَّذِينَ تَلِدُهُمْ، لِأَنَّهَا تَأْكُلُهُمْ سِرًّا فِي عَوَزِ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ، فِي ٱلْحِصَارِ وَٱلضِّيقَةِ ٱلَّتِي يُضَايِقُكَ بِهَا عَدُوُّكَ فِي أَبْوَابِكَ.

both as to her afterbirth that cometh forth from between her feet and as to her children which she shall bear, for she will eat them for want of all things secretly, —in the siege and in the straitness wherewith thine enemy will straiten thee within thine own gates.

٥٨ 58 إِنْ لَمْ تَحْرِصْ لِتَعْمَلَ بِجَمِيعِ كَلِمَاتِ هَذَا ٱلنَّامُوسِ ٱلْمَكْتُوبَةِ فِي هَذَا ٱلسِّفْرِ، لِتَهَابَ هَذَا ٱلِٱسْمَ ٱلْجَلِيلَ ٱلْمَرْهُوبَ، ٱلرَّبَّ إِلَهَكَ،

If thou wilt not take heed to do all the words of this law, which are written in this scroll, —to revere this glorious and reverend name, Yahweh thy God,

٥٩ 59 يَجْعَلُ ٱلرَّبُّ ضَرَبَاتِكَ وَضَرَبَاتِ نَسْلِكَ عَجِيبَةً. ضَرَبَاتٍ عَظِيمَةً رَاسِخَةً، وَأَمْرَاضًا رَدِيَّةً ثَابِتَةً.

then will Yahweh make thy plagues wonderful, and the plagues of thy seed, —plagues great and lasting, and diseases grievous and lasting;

٦٠ 60 وَيَرُدُّ عَلَيْكَ جَمِيعَ أَدْوَاءِ مِصْرَ ٱلَّتِي فَزِعْتَ مِنْهَا، فَتَلْتَصِقُ بِكَ.

and he will bring back on thee all the sickness of Egypt, because of which thou wast afraid, —and they shall cleave unto thee;

٦١ 61 أَيْضًا كُلُّ مَرَضٍ وَكُلُّ ضَرْبَةٍ لَمْ تُكْتَبْ فِي سِفْرِ ٱلنَّامُوسِ هَذَا، يُسَلِّطُهُ ٱلرَّبُّ عَلَيْكَ حَتَّى تَهْلِكَ.

even every disease and, every plague, which are not written in this scroll of the law, will Yahweh bring up against thee, until thou art destroyed,

٦٢ 62 فَتَبْقَوْنَ نَفَرًا قَلِيلًا عِوَضَ مَا كُنْتُمْ كَنُجُومِ ٱلسَّمَاءِ فِي ٱلْكَثْرَةِ، لِأَنَّكَ لَمْ تَسْمَعْ لِصَوْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِكَ.

And ye shall be left men few in number, whereas ye had become as the stars of the heavens for multitude, —because thou hast not hearkened unto the voice of Yahweh thy God.

٦٣ 63 وَكَمَا فَرِحَ ٱلرَّبُّ لَكُمْ لِيُحْسِنَ إِلَيْكُمْ وَيُكَثِّرَكُمْ، كَذَلِكَ يَفْرَحُ ٱلرَّبُّ لَكُمْ لِيُفْنِيَكُمْ وَيُهْلِكَكُمْ، فَتُسْتَأْصَلُونَ مِنَ ٱلْأَرْضِ ٱلَّتِي أَنْتَ دَاخِلٌ إِلَيْهَا لِتَمْتَلِكَهَا.

And it shall come to pass that as Yahweh rejoiced over you to do you good and to multiply you, so, will Yahweh rejoice over you, to cause you to perish and to destroy you, —and ye shall be torn away, from off the soil, whither thou art going in to possess it;

٦٤ 64 وَيُبَدِّدُكَ ٱلرَّبُّ فِي جَمِيعِ ٱلشُّعُوبِ مِنْ أَقْصَاءِ ٱلْأَرْضِ إِلَى أَقْصَائِهَا، وَتَعْبُدُ هُنَاكَ آلِهَةً أُخْرَى لَمْ تَعْرِفْهَا أَنْتَ وَلَا آبَاؤُكَ، مِنْ خَشَبٍ وَحَجَرٍ.

and Yahweh will scatter thee among all the peoples, from one end of the earth even unto the other end of the earth, —and thou wilt serve there other gods whom thou hast not known—thou nor thy fathers, —of wood and of stone.

٦٥ 65 وَفِي تِلْكَ ٱلْأُمَمِ لَا تَطْمَئِنُّ وَلَا يَكُونُ قَرَارٌ لِقَدَمِكَ، بَلْ يُعْطِيكَ ٱلرَّبُّ هُنَاكَ قَلْبًا مُرْتَجِفًا وَكَلَالَ ٱلْعَيْنَيْنِ وَذُبُولَ ٱلنَّفْسِ.

And among those nations, shalt thou find no ease, neither shall there be a place of rest for the sole of thy foot, —but Yahweh will give unto thee there a trembling heart, and a failing of eyes and faintness of soul.

٦٦ 66 وَتَكُونُ حَيَاتُكَ مُعَلَّقَةً قُدَّامَكَ، وَتَرْتَعِبُ لَيْلًا وَنَهَارًا وَلَا تَأْمَنُ عَلَى حَيَاتِكَ.

And thy life will be hung up for thee in front, —and thou wilt be in dread by night and by day, and wilt not trust in thy life.

٦٧ 67 فِي ٱلصَّبَاحِ تَقُولُ: يَا لَيْتَهُ ٱلْمَسَاءُ، وَفِي ٱلْمَسَاءِ تَقُولُ: يَا لَيْتَهُ ٱلصَّبَاحُ، مِنِ ٱرْتِعَابِ قَلْبِكَ ٱلَّذِي تَرْتَعِبُ، وَمِنْ مَنْظَرِ عَيْنَيْكَ ٱلَّذِي تَنْظُرُ.

In the morning, thou wilt say—Oh that it were evening! and in the evening, thou wilt say—Oh that it were morning! because of the dread of thy heart which thou wilt dread, and because of the sight of thine eyes which thou wilt see.

٦٨ 68 وَيَرُدُّكَ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَى مِصْرَ فِي سُفُنٍ فِي ٱلطَّرِيقِ ٱلَّتِي قُلْتُ لَكَ لَا تَعُدْ تَرَاهَا، فَتُبَاعُونَ هُنَاكَ لِأَعْدَائِكَ عَبِيدًا وَإِمَاءً، وَلَيْسَ مَنْ يَشْتَرِي».

And Yahweh will take thee back again to Egypt in ships, by the way whereof I said unto thee, Thou shalt not again any more see it. And ye will offer yourselves there for sale unto thine enemies as servants and as handmaids with no one to buy.
