اَلتَّثْنِيَة 30

١ 1 «وَمَتَى أَتَتْ عَلَيْكَ كُلُّ هَذِهِ ٱلْأُمُورِ، ٱلْبَرَكَةُ وَٱللَّعْنَةُ، ٱللَّتَانِ جَعَلْتُهُمَا قُدَّامَكَ، فَإِنْ رَدَدْتَ فِي قَلْبِكَ بَيْنَ جَمِيعِ ٱلْأُمَمِ ٱلَّذِينَ طَرَدَكَ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكَ إِلَيْهِمْ،

It shall happen, when all these things have come on you, the blessing and the curse, which I have set before you, and you shall call them to mind among all the nations, where Adonai your God has driven you,

٢ 2 وَرَجَعْتَ إِلَى ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِكَ، وَسَمِعْتَ لِصَوْتِهِ حَسَبَ كُلِّ مَا أَنَا أُوصِيكَ بِهِ ٱلْيَوْمَ، أَنْتَ وَبَنُوكَ، بِكُلِّ قَلْبِكَ وَبِكُلِّ نَفْسِكَ،

and teshuvah ·completely return· to Adonai your God, and sh'ma ·hear obey· his voice according to all that I enjoin you today, you and your children, with all your heart, and with all your soul;

٣ 3 يَرُدُّ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكَ سَبْيَكَ وَيَرْحَمُكَ، وَيَعُودُ فَيَجْمَعُكَ مِنْ جَمِيعِ ٱلشُّعُوبِ ٱلَّذِينَ بَدَّدَكَ إِلَيْهِمِ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكَ.

that then Adonai your God will release you from captivity, have racham ·compassionate love· on you, and will make teshuvah ·complete return· and gather you from all the peoples where Adonai your God has scattered you.

٤ 4 إِنْ يَكُنْ قَدْ بَدَّدَكَ إِلَى أَقْصَاءِ ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ، فَمِنْ هُنَاكَ يَجْمَعُكَ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكَ، وَمِنْ هُنَاكَ يَأْخُذُكَ،

If your outcasts are in the uttermost parts of the heavens, from there Adonai your God will gather you, and from there he will bring you back.

٥ 5 وَيَأْتِي بِكَ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكَ إِلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ ٱلَّتِي ٱمْتَلَكَهَا آبَاؤُكَ فَتَمْتَلِكُهَا، وَيُحْسِنُ إِلَيْكَ وَيُكَثِّرُكَ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ آبَائِكَ.

Adonai your God will bring you into the land which your fathers possessed, and you will possess it. He will do you good, and increase your numbers more than your fathers.

٦ 6 وَيَخْتِنُ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكَ قَلْبَكَ وَقَلْبَ نَسْلِكَ، لِكَيْ تُحِبَّ ٱلرَّبَّ إِلَهَكَ مِنْ كُلِّ قَلْبِكَ وَمِنْ كُلِّ نَفْسِكَ لِتَحْيَا.

Adonai your God will circumcise your heart, and the heart of your offspring, to 'ahav ·affectionately love· Adonai your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, that you may live.

٧ 7 وَيَجْعَلُ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكَ كُلَّ هَذِهِ ٱللَّعَنَاتِ عَلَى أَعْدَائِكَ، وَعَلَى مُبْغِضِيكَ ٱلَّذِينَ طَرَدُوكَ.

Adonai your God will put all these curses on your enemies, and on those who hate you, who persecuted you.

٨ 8 وَأَمَّا أَنْتَ فَتَعُودُ تَسْمَعُ لِصَوْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ، وَتَعْمَلُ بِجَمِيعِ وَصَايَاهُ ٱلَّتِي أَنَا أُوصِيكَ بِهَا ٱلْيَوْمَ،

You shall make teshuvah ·complete return· and sh'ma ·hear obey· Adonai’s voice, and do all his mitzvot ·instructions· which I enjoin you today.

٩ 9 فَيَزِيدُكَ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكَ خَيْرًا فِي كُلِّ عَمَلِ يَدِكَ، فِي ثَمَرَةِ بَطْنِكَ وَثَمَرَةِ بَهَائِمِكَ وَثَمَرَةِ أَرْضِكَ. لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ يَرْجِعُ لِيَفْرَحَ لَكَ بِٱلْخَيْرِ كَمَا فَرِحَ لِآبَائِكَ،

Adonai your God will make you plenteous in all the work of your hand, in the fruit of your body, in the fruit of your livestock, and in the fruit of your ground, for good; for Adonai will again rejoice over you for good, as he rejoiced over your fathers;

١٠ 10 إِذَا سَمِعْتَ لِصَوْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِكَ لِتَحْفَظَ وَصَايَاهُ وَفَرَائِضَهُ ٱلْمَكْتُوبَةَ فِي سِفْرِ ٱلشَّرِيعَةِ هَذَا. إِذَا رَجَعْتَ إِلَى ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِكَ بِكُلِّ قَلْبِكَ وَبِكُلِّ نَفْسِكَ.

if you will sh'ma ·hear obey· Adonai your God’s voice, to keep his mitzvot ·instructions· and his statutes which are written in this book of the Torah ·Teaching·; if you turn to Adonai your God with all your heart, and with all your soul.

١١ 11 «إِنَّ هَذِهِ ٱلْوَصِيَّةَ ٱلَّتِي أُوصِيكَ بِهَا ٱلْيَوْمَ لَيْسَتْ عَسِرَةً عَلَيْكَ وَلَا بَعِيدَةً مِنْكَ.

For this mitzvah ·instruction· which I enjoin you today is not too hard for you or too distant.

١٢ 12 لَيْسَتْ هِيَ فِي ٱلسَّمَاءِ حَتَّى تَقُولَ: مَنْ يَصْعَدُ لِأَجْلِنَا إِلَى ٱلسَّمَاءِ وَيَأْخُذُهَا لَنَا وَيُسْمِعُنَا إِيَّاهَا لِنَعْمَلَ بِهَا؟

It is not in heaven, so that you should say, “Who will go up for us to heaven, and bring it to us, that we may sh'ma ·hear obey· it, so we may do it?”

١٣ 13 وَلَا هِيَ فِي عَبْرِ ٱلْبَحْرِ حَتَّى تَقُولَ: مَنْ يَعْبُرُ لِأَجْلِنَا ٱلْبَحْرَ وَيَأْخُذُهَا لَنَا وَيُسْمِعُنَا إِيَّاهَا لِنَعْمَلَ بِهَا؟

Neither is it beyond the sea, that you should say, “Who will go over the sea for us, and bring it to us, that we may that we may sh'ma ·hear obey· it, so it, so we may do it?”

١٤ 14 بَلِ ٱلْكَلِمَةُ قَرِيبَةٌ مِنْكَ جِدًّا، فِي فَمِكَ وَفِي قَلْبِكَ لِتَعْمَلَ بِهَا.

But the word is very near to you, in your mouth and in your heart, that you may do it.

١٥ 15 «اُنْظُرْ. قَدْ جَعَلْتُ ٱلْيَوْمَ قُدَّامَكَ ٱلْحَيَاةَ وَٱلْخَيْرَ، وَٱلْمَوْتَ وَٱلشَّرَّ،

Behold, I have set before you today life and prosperity, and death and evil.

١٦ 16 بِمَا أَنِّي أَوْصَيْتُكَ ٱلْيَوْمَ أَنْ تُحِبَّ ٱلرَّبَّ إِلَهَكَ وَتَسْلُكَ فِي طُرُقِهِ وَتَحْفَظَ وَصَايَاهُ وَفَرَائِضَهُ وَأَحْكَامَهُ لِكَيْ تَحْيَا وَتَنْمُوَ، وَيُبَارِكَكَ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكَ فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ ٱلَّتِي أَنْتَ دَاخِلٌ إِلَيْهَا لِكَيْ تَمْتَلِكَهَا.

For I enjoin you today to 'ahav ·affectionately love· Adonai your God, to walk in his ways, and to keep his mitzvot ·instructions·, his statutes, and his judgments, that you may live and multiply, and that Adonai your God may bless you in the land where you go in to possess it.

١٧ 17 فَإِنِ ٱنْصَرَفَ قَلْبُكَ وَلَمْ تَسْمَعْ، بَلْ غَوَيْتَ وَسَجَدْتَ لِآلِهَةٍ أُخْرَى وَعَبَدْتَهَا،

But if your heart turns away, and you will not sh'ma ·hear obey·, but are drawn away, and hawa ·bow low, prostrate· to worship other deities, and abad ·serve· them;

١٨ 18 فَإِنِّي أُنْبِئُكُمُ ٱلْيَوْمَ أَنَّكُمْ لَا مَحَالَةَ تَهْلِكُونَ. لَا تُطِيلُ ٱلْأَيَّامَ عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ ٱلَّتِي أَنْتَ عَابِرٌ ٱلْأُرْدُنَّ لِكَيْ تَدْخُلَهَا وَتَمْتَلِكَهَا.

I denounce to you today, that you will surely perish. You will not prolong your days in the land where you pass over the Jordan [Descender] to go in to possess it.

١٩ 19 أُشْهِدُ عَلَيْكُمُ ٱلْيَوْمَ ٱلسَّمَاءَ وَٱلْأَرْضَ. قَدْ جَعَلْتُ قُدَّامَكَ ٱلْحَيَاةَ وَٱلْمَوْتَ. ٱلْبَرَكَةَ وَٱللَّعْنَةَ. فَٱخْتَرِ ٱلْحَيَاةَ لِكَيْ تَحْيَا أَنْتَ وَنَسْلُكَ،

I call heaven and earth to witness against you today, that I have set before you life and death, the blessing and the curse. Therefore choose life, that you may live, you and your descendants;

٢٠ 20 إِذْ تُحِبُّ ٱلرَّبَّ إِلَهَكَ وَتَسْمَعُ لِصَوْتِهِ وَتَلْتَصِقُ بِهِ، لِأَنَّهُ هُوَ حَيَاتُكَ وَٱلَّذِي يُطِيلُ أَيَّامَكَ لِكَيْ تَسْكُنَ عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ ٱلَّتِي حَلَفَ ٱلرَّبُّ لِآبَائِكَ إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَإِسْحَاقَ وَيَعْقُوبَ أَنْ يُعْطِيَهُمْ إِيَّاهَا.

to 'ahav ·affectionately love· Adonai your God, to sh'ma ·hear obey· his voice, and to dabak ·cling to, worship· him; for he is your life, and the length of your days; that you may dwell in the land which Adonai swore to your fathers, to Abraham [Father of a multitude], to Isaac [Laughter], and to Jacob [Supplanter], to give them.
