اَلتَّثْنِيَة 31

١ 1 فَذَهَبَ مُوسَى وَكَلَّمَ بِهَذِهِ ٱلْكَلِمَاتِ جَمِيعَ إِسْرَائِيلَ،

And Moses finished speaking all these words to all the children of Israel;

٢ 2 وَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «أَنَا ٱلْيَوْمَ ٱبْنُ مِئَةٍ وَعِشْرِينَ سَنَةً. لَا أَسْتَطِيعُ ٱلْخُرُوجَ وَٱلدُّخُولَ بَعْدُ، وَٱلرَّبُّ قَدْ قَالَ لِي: لَا تَعْبُرُ هَذَا ٱلْأُرْدُنَّ.

and said to them, I am this day a hundred and twenty years [old]; I shall not be able any longer to come in or go out; and the Lord said to me, You shall not go over this Jordan.

٣ 3 ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكَ هُوَ عَابِرٌ قُدَّامَكَ. هُوَ يُبِيدُ هَؤُلَاءِ ٱلْأُمَمَ مِنْ قُدَّامِكَ فَتَرِثُهُمْ. يَشُوعُ عَابِرٌ قُدَّامَكَ، كَمَا قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ.

The Lord your God who goes before you, he shall destroy these nations before you, and you shall inherit them: and [it shall be] Joshua that goes before your face, as the Lord has spoken.

٤ 4 وَيَفْعَلُ ٱلرَّبُّ بِهِمْ كَمَا فَعَلَ بِسِيحُونَ وَعُوجَ مَلِكَيِ ٱلْأَمُورِيِّينَ ٱللَّذَيْنِ أَهْلَكَهُمَا، وَبِأَرْضِهِمَا.

And the Lord your God shall do to them as he did to Seon and Og the two kings of the Amorites, who were beyond Jordan, and to their land, as he destroyed them.

٥ 5 فَمَتَى دَفَعَهُمُ ٱلرَّبُّ أَمَامَكُمْ تَفْعَلُونَ بِهِمْ حَسَبَ كُلِّ ٱلْوَصَايَا ٱلَّتِي أَوْصَيْتُكُمْ بِهَا.

And the Lord has delivered them to you; and you shall do to them, as I charged you.

٦ 6 تَشَدَّدُوا وَتَشَجَّعُوا. لَا تَخَافُوا وَلَا تَرْهَبُوا وُجُوهَهُمْ، لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ إِلَهَكَ سَائِرٌ مَعَكَ. لَا يُهْمِلُكَ وَلَا يَتْرُكُكَ».

Be courageous and strong, fear not, neither be cowardly neither be afraid before them; for [it is] the Lord your God that advances with you in the midst of you, neither will he by any means forsake you, nor desert you.

٧ 7 فَدَعَا مُوسَى يَشُوعَ، وَقَالَ لَهُ أَمَامَ أَعْيُنِ جَمِيعِ إِسْرَائِيلَ: «تَشَدَّدْ وَتَشَجَّعْ، لِأَنَّكَ أَنْتَ تَدْخُلُ مَعَ هَذَا ٱلشَّعْبِ ٱلْأَرْضَ ٱلَّتِي أَقْسَمَ ٱلرَّبُّ لِآبَائِهِمْ أَنْ يُعْطِيَهُمْ إِيَّاهَا، وَأَنْتَ تَقْسِمُهَا لَهُمْ.

And Moses called Joshua, and said to him before all Israel, Be courageous and strong; for you shall go in before this people into the land which the Lord sware to your fathers to give to them, and you shall give it to them for an inheritance.

٨ 8 وَٱلرَّبُّ سَائِرٌ أَمَامَكَ. هُوَ يَكُونُ مَعَكَ. لَا يُهْمِلُكَ وَلَا يَتْرُكُكَ. لَا تَخَفْ وَلَا تَرْتَعِبْ».

And the Lord that goes with you shall not forsake you nor abandon you; fear not, neither be afraid.

٩ 9 وَكَتَبَ مُوسَى هَذِهِ ٱلتَّوْرَاةَ وَسَلَّمَهَا لِلْكَهَنَةِ بَنِي لَاوِي حَامِلِي تَابُوتِ عَهْدِ ٱلرَّبِّ، وَلِجَمِيعِ شُيُوخِ إِسْرَائِيلَ.

And Moses wrote the words of this law in a book, and gave it to the priests the sons of Levi who bear the ark of the covenant of the Lord, and to the elders of the sons of Israel.

١٠ 10 وَأَمَرَهُمْ مُوسَى قَائِلًا: «فِي نِهَايَةِ ٱلسَّبْعِ ٱلسِّنِينَ، فِي مِيعَادِ سَنَةِ ٱلْإِبْرَاءِ، فِي عِيدِ ٱلْمَظَالِّ،

And Moses charged them in that day, saying, After seven years, in the time of the year of release, in the feast of tabernacles,

١١ 11 حِينَمَا يَجِيءُ جَمِيعُ إِسْرَائِيلَ لِكَيْ يَظْهَرُوا أَمَامَ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِكَ فِي ٱلْمَكَانِ ٱلَّذِي يَخْتَارُهُ، تَقْرَأُ هَذِهِ ٱلتَّوْرَاةَ أَمَامَ كُلِّ إِسْرَائِيلَ فِي مَسَامِعِهِمْ.

when all Israel come together to appear before the Lord your God, in the place which the Lord shall choose, you shall read this law before all Israel in their ears,

١٢ 12 اِجْمَعِ ٱلشَّعْبَ، ٱلرِّجَالَ وَٱلنِّسَاءَ وَٱلْأَطْفَالَ وَٱلْغَرِيبَ ٱلَّذِي فِي أَبْوَابِكَ، لِكَيْ يَسْمَعُوا وَيَتَعَلَّمُوا أَنْ يَتَّقُوا ٱلرَّبَّ إِلَهَكُمْ وَيَحْرِصُوا أَنْ يَعْمَلُوا بِجَمِيعِ كَلِمَاتِ هَذِهِ ٱلتَّوْرَاةِ.

having assembled the people, the men, and the women, and the children, and the stranger that is in your cities, that they may hear, and that they may learn to fear the Lord your God; and they shall listen to do all the words of this law.

١٣ 13 وَأَوْلَادُهُمُ ٱلَّذِينَ لَمْ يَعْرِفُوا، يَسْمَعُونَ وَيَتَعَلَّمُونَ أَنْ يَتَّقُوا ٱلرَّبَّ إِلَهَكُمْ كُلَّ ٱلْأَيَّامِ ٱلَّتِي تَحْيَوْنَ فِيهَا عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ ٱلَّتِي أَنْتُمْ عَابِرُونَ ٱلْأُرْدُنَّ إِلَيْهَا لِكَيْ تَمْتَلِكُوهَا».

And their sons who have not known shall hear, and shall learn to fear the Lord your God all the days that they live upon the land, into which you go over Jordan to inherit it.

١٤ 14 وَقَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ لِمُوسَى: «هُوَذَا أَيَّامُكَ قَدْ قَرُبَتْ لِكَيْ تَمُوتَ. اُدْعُ يَشُوعَ، وَقِفَا فِي خَيْمَةِ ٱلِٱجْتِمَاعِ لِكَيْ أُوصِيَهُ». فَٱنْطَلَقَ مُوسَى وَيَشُوعُ وَوَقَفَا فِي خَيْمَةِ ٱلِٱجْتِمَاعِ،

And the Lord said to Moses, Behold, the days of your death are at hand; call Joshua, and stand you by the doors of the tabernacle of testimony, and I will give him a charge. And Moses and Joshua went to the tabernacle of testimony, and stood by the doors of the tabernacle of testimony.

١٥ 15 فَتَرَاءَى ٱلرَّبُّ فِي ٱلْخَيْمَةِ فِي عَمُودِ سَحَابٍ، وَوَقَفَ عَمُودُ ٱلسَّحَابِ عَلَى بَابِ ٱلْخَيْمَةِ.

And the Lord descended in a cloud, and stood by the doors of the tabernacle of testimony; and the pillar of the cloud stood by the doors of the tabernacle of testimony.

١٦ 16 وَقَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ لِمُوسَى: «هَا أَنْتَ تَرْقُدُ مَعَ آبَائِكَ، فَيَقُومُ هَذَا ٱلشَّعْبُ وَيَفْجُرُ وَرَاءَ آلِهَةِ ٱلْأَجْنَبِيِّينَ فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ ٱلَّتِي هُوَ دَاخِلٌ إِلَيْهَا فِي مَا بَيْنَهُمْ، وَيَتْرُكُنِي وَيَنْكُثُ عَهْدِي ٱلَّذِي قَطَعْتُهُ مَعَهُ.

And the Lord said to Moses, Behold, you shall sleep with your fathers, and this people will arise and go a whoring after the strange gods of the land, into which they are entering: and they will forsake me, and break my covenant, which I made with them.

١٧ 17 فَيَشْتَعِلُ غَضَبِي عَلَيْهِ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ، وَأَتْرُكُهُ وَأَحْجُبُ وَجْهِي عَنْهُ، فَيَكُونُ مَأْكُلَةً، وَتُصِيبُهُ شُرُورٌ كَثِيرَةٌ وَشَدَائِدُ حَتَّى يَقُولَ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ: أَمَا لِأَنَّ إِلَهِي لَيْسَ فِي وَسَطِي أَصَابَتْنِي هَذِهِ ٱلشُّرُورُ!

And I will be very angry with them in that day, and I will leave them and turn my face away from them, and they shall be devoured; and many evils and afflictions shall come upon them; and they shall say in that day, Because the Lord my God is not with me, these evils have come upon me.

١٨ 18 وَأَنَا أَحْجُبُ وَجْهِي فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ لِأَجْلِ جَمِيعِ ٱلشَّرِّ ٱلَّذِي عَمِلَهُ، إِذِ ٱلْتَفَتَ إِلَى آلِهَةٍ أُخْرَى.

And I will surely turn away my face from them in that day, because of all their evil doings which they have done, because they turned aside after strange gods.

١٩ 19 فَٱلْآنَ ٱكْتُبُوا لِأَنْفُسِكُمْ هَذَا ٱلنَّشِيدَ، وَعَلِّمْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ إِيَّاهُ. ضَعْهُ فِي أَفْوَاهِهِمْ لِكَيْ يَكُونَ لِي هَذَا ٱلنَّشِيدُ شَاهِدًا عَلَى بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ.

And now write the words of this song, and teach it to the children of Israel, and you shall put it into their mouth, that this song may witness for me among the children of Israel to their face.

٢٠ 20 لِأَنِّي أُدْخِلُهُمُ ٱلْأَرْضَ ٱلَّتِي أَقْسَمْتُ لِآبَائِهِمِ، ٱلْفَائِضَةَ لَبَنًا وَعَسَلًا، فَيَأْكُلُونَ وَيَشْبَعُونَ وَيَسْمَنُونَ، ثُمَّ يَلْتَفِتُونَ إِلَى آلِهَةٍ أُخْرَى وَيَعْبُدُونَهَا وَيَزْدَرُونَ بِي وَيَنْكُثُونَ عَهْدِي.

For I will bring them into the good land, which I sware to their fathers, to give to them a land flowing with milk and honey: and they shall eat and be filled and satisfy [themselves]; then will they turn aside after other gods, and serve them, and they will provoke me, and break my covenant.

٢١ 21 فَمَتَى أَصَابَتْهُ شُرُورٌ كَثِيرَةٌ وَشَدَائِدُ، يُجَاوِبُ هَذَا ٱلنَّشِيدُ أَمَامَهُ شَاهِدًا، لِأَنَّهُ لَا يُنْسَى مِنْ أَفْوَاهِ نَسْلِهِ. إِنِّي عَرَفْتُ فِكْرَهُ ٱلَّذِي يَفْكِرُ بِهِ ٱلْيَوْمَ قَبْلَ أَنْ أُدْخِلَهُ إِلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ كَمَا أَقْسَمْتُ».

And this song shall stand up to witness against them; for they shall not forget it out of their mouth, or out of the mouth of their seed; for I know their wickedness, what they are doing here this day, before I have brought them into the good land, which I sware to their fathers.

٢٢ 22 فَكَتَبَ مُوسَى هَذَا ٱلنَّشِيدَ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ وَعَلَّمَ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ إِيَّاهُ.

And Moses wrote this song in that day, and taught it to the children of Israel.

٢٣ 23 وَأَوْصَى يَشُوعَ بْنَ نُونَ وَقَالَ: «تَشَدَّدْ وَتَشَجَّعْ، لِأَنَّكَ أَنْتَ تَدْخُلُ بِبَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ ٱلْأَرْضَ ٱلَّتِي أَقْسَمْتُ لَهُمْ عَنْهَا، وَأَنَا أَكُونُ مَعَكَ».

And he charged Joshua, and said, Be courageous and strong, for you shall bring the sons of Israel into the land, which the Lord sware to them, and he shall be with you.

٢٤ 24 فَعِنْدَمَا كَمَّلَ مُوسَى كِتَابَةَ كَلِمَاتِ هَذِهِ ٱلتَّوْرَاةِ فِي كِتَابٍ إِلَى تَمَامِهَا،

And when Moses finished writing all the words of this law in a book, even to the end,

٢٥ 25 أَمَرَ مُوسَى ٱللَّاوِيِّينَ حَامِلِي تَابُوتِ عَهْدِ ٱلرَّبِّ قَائِلًا:

then he charged the Levites who bear the ark of the covenant of the Lord, saying,

٢٦ 26 «خُذُوا كِتَابَ ٱلتَّوْرَاةِ هَذَا وَضَعُوهُ بِجَانِبِ تَابُوتِ عَهْدِ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِكُمْ، لِيَكُونَ هُنَاكَ شَاهِدًا عَلَيْكُمْ.

Take the book of this law, and you shall put it in the side of the ark of the covenant of the Lord your God; and it shall be there among you for a testimony.

٢٧ 27 لِأَنِّي أَنَا عَارِفٌ تَمَرُّدَكُمْ وَرِقَابَكُمُ ٱلصُّلْبَةَ. هُوَذَا وَأَنَا بَعْدُ حَيٌّ مَعَكُمُ ٱلْيَوْمَ، قَدْ صِرْتُمْ تُقَاوِمُونَ ٱلرَّبَّ، فَكَمْ بِٱلْحَرِيِّ بَعْدَ مَوْتِي!

For I know your provocation, and your stiff neck; for yet during my life with you at this day, you have been provoking in your conduct toward God: how shall you not also be so after my death?

٢٨ 28 اِجْمَعُوا إِلَيَّ كُلَّ شُيُوخِ أَسْبَاطِكُمْ وَعُرَفَاءَكُمْ لِأَنْطِقَ فِي مَسَامِعِهِمْ بِهَذِهِ ٱلْكَلِمَاتِ، وَأُشْهِدَ عَلَيْهِمِ ٱلسَّمَاءَ وَٱلْأَرْضَ.

Gather together to me the heads of your tribes, and your elders, and your judges, and your officers, that I may speak in their ears all these words; and I call both heaven and earth to witness against them.

٢٩ 29 لِأَنِّي عَارِفٌ أَنَّكُمْ بَعْدَ مَوْتِي تَفْسِدُونَ وَتَزِيغُونَ عَنِ ٱلطَّرِيقِ ٱلَّذِي أَوْصَيْتُكُمْ بِهِ، وَيُصِيبُكُمُ ٱلشَّرُّ فِي آخِرِ ٱلْأَيَّامِ لِأَنَّكُمْ تَعْمَلُونَ ٱلشَّرَّ أَمَامَ ٱلرَّبِّ حَتَّى تُغِيظُوهُ بِأَعْمَالِ أَيْدِيكُمْ».

For I know that after my death you will utterly transgress, and turn aside out of the way which I have commanded you; and evils shall come upon you in the latter days, because you will do evil before the Lord, to provoke him to anger by the works of your hands. And Moses spoke all the words of this song even to the end, in the ears of the whole assembly.

٣٠ 30 فَنَطَقَ مُوسَى فِي مَسَامِعِ كُلِّ جَمَاعَةِ إِسْرَائِيلَ بِكَلِمَاتِ هَذَا ٱلنَّشِيدِ إِلَى تَمَامِهِ:
