< اَلتَّثْنِيَة 31 >

فَذَهَبَ مُوسَى وَكَلَّمَ بِهَذِهِ ٱلْكَلِمَاتِ جَمِيعَ إِسْرَائِيلَ، ١ 1
Moses went and spoke these words to all Israel.
وَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «أَنَا ٱلْيَوْمَ ٱبْنُ مِئَةٍ وَعِشْرِينَ سَنَةً. لَا أَسْتَطِيعُ ٱلْخُرُوجَ وَٱلدُّخُولَ بَعْدُ، وَٱلرَّبُّ قَدْ قَالَ لِي: لَا تَعْبُرُ هَذَا ٱلْأُرْدُنَّ. ٢ 2
He said to them, “I am one hundred twenty years old today. I can no more go out and come in. Yahweh has said to me, ‘You shall not go over this Jordan.’
ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكَ هُوَ عَابِرٌ قُدَّامَكَ. هُوَ يُبِيدُ هَؤُلَاءِ ٱلْأُمَمَ مِنْ قُدَّامِكَ فَتَرِثُهُمْ. يَشُوعُ عَابِرٌ قُدَّامَكَ، كَمَا قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ. ٣ 3
Yahweh your God himself will go over before you. He will destroy these nations from before you, and you shall dispossess them. Joshua will go over before you, as Yahweh has spoken.
وَيَفْعَلُ ٱلرَّبُّ بِهِمْ كَمَا فَعَلَ بِسِيحُونَ وَعُوجَ مَلِكَيِ ٱلْأَمُورِيِّينَ ٱللَّذَيْنِ أَهْلَكَهُمَا، وَبِأَرْضِهِمَا. ٤ 4
Yahweh will do to them as he did to Sihon and to Og, the kings of the Amorites, and to their land, when he destroyed them.
فَمَتَى دَفَعَهُمُ ٱلرَّبُّ أَمَامَكُمْ تَفْعَلُونَ بِهِمْ حَسَبَ كُلِّ ٱلْوَصَايَا ٱلَّتِي أَوْصَيْتُكُمْ بِهَا. ٥ 5
Yahweh will deliver them up before you, and you shall do to them according to all the commandment which I have commanded you.
تَشَدَّدُوا وَتَشَجَّعُوا. لَا تَخَافُوا وَلَا تَرْهَبُوا وُجُوهَهُمْ، لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ إِلَهَكَ سَائِرٌ مَعَكَ. لَا يُهْمِلُكَ وَلَا يَتْرُكُكَ». ٦ 6
Be strong and courageous. Don’t be afraid or scared of them, for Yahweh your God himself is who goes with you. He will not fail you nor forsake you.”
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. ٧ 7
Moses called to Joshua, and said to him in the sight of all Israel, “Be strong and courageous, for you shall go with this people into the land which Yahweh has sworn to their fathers to give them; and you shall cause them to inherit it.
وَٱلرَّبُّ سَائِرٌ أَمَامَكَ. هُوَ يَكُونُ مَعَكَ. لَا يُهْمِلُكَ وَلَا يَتْرُكُكَ. لَا تَخَفْ وَلَا تَرْتَعِبْ». ٨ 8
Yahweh himself is who goes before you. He will be with you. He will not fail you nor forsake you. Don’t be afraid. Don’t be discouraged.”
وَكَتَبَ مُوسَى هَذِهِ ٱلتَّوْرَاةَ وَسَلَّمَهَا لِلْكَهَنَةِ بَنِي لَاوِي حَامِلِي تَابُوتِ عَهْدِ ٱلرَّبِّ، وَلِجَمِيعِ شُيُوخِ إِسْرَائِيلَ. ٩ 9
Moses wrote this law and delivered it to the priests the sons of Levi, who bore the ark of Yahweh’s covenant, and to all the elders of Israel.
وَأَمَرَهُمْ مُوسَى قَائِلًا: «فِي نِهَايَةِ ٱلسَّبْعِ ٱلسِّنِينَ، فِي مِيعَادِ سَنَةِ ٱلْإِبْرَاءِ، فِي عِيدِ ٱلْمَظَالِّ، ١٠ 10
Moses commanded them, saying, “At the end of every seven years, in the set time of the year of release, in the feast of booths,
حِينَمَا يَجِيءُ جَمِيعُ إِسْرَائِيلَ لِكَيْ يَظْهَرُوا أَمَامَ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِكَ فِي ٱلْمَكَانِ ٱلَّذِي يَخْتَارُهُ، تَقْرَأُ هَذِهِ ٱلتَّوْرَاةَ أَمَامَ كُلِّ إِسْرَائِيلَ فِي مَسَامِعِهِمْ. ١١ 11
when all Israel has come to appear before Yahweh your God in the place which he will choose, you shall read this law before all Israel in their hearing.
اِجْمَعِ ٱلشَّعْبَ، ٱلرِّجَالَ وَٱلنِّسَاءَ وَٱلْأَطْفَالَ وَٱلْغَرِيبَ ٱلَّذِي فِي أَبْوَابِكَ، لِكَيْ يَسْمَعُوا وَيَتَعَلَّمُوا أَنْ يَتَّقُوا ٱلرَّبَّ إِلَهَكُمْ وَيَحْرِصُوا أَنْ يَعْمَلُوا بِجَمِيعِ كَلِمَاتِ هَذِهِ ٱلتَّوْرَاةِ. ١٢ 12
Assemble the people, the men and the women and the little ones, and the foreigners who are within your gates, that they may hear, learn, fear Yahweh your God, and observe to do all the words of this law,
وَأَوْلَادُهُمُ ٱلَّذِينَ لَمْ يَعْرِفُوا، يَسْمَعُونَ وَيَتَعَلَّمُونَ أَنْ يَتَّقُوا ٱلرَّبَّ إِلَهَكُمْ كُلَّ ٱلْأَيَّامِ ٱلَّتِي تَحْيَوْنَ فِيهَا عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ ٱلَّتِي أَنْتُمْ عَابِرُونَ ٱلْأُرْدُنَّ إِلَيْهَا لِكَيْ تَمْتَلِكُوهَا». ١٣ 13
and that their children, who have not known, may hear and learn to fear Yahweh your God, as long as you live in the land where you go over the Jordan to possess it.”
وَقَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ لِمُوسَى: «هُوَذَا أَيَّامُكَ قَدْ قَرُبَتْ لِكَيْ تَمُوتَ. اُدْعُ يَشُوعَ، وَقِفَا فِي خَيْمَةِ ٱلِٱجْتِمَاعِ لِكَيْ أُوصِيَهُ». فَٱنْطَلَقَ مُوسَى وَيَشُوعُ وَوَقَفَا فِي خَيْمَةِ ٱلِٱجْتِمَاعِ، ١٤ 14
Yahweh said to Moses, “Behold, your days approach that you must die. Call Joshua, and present yourselves in the Tent of Meeting, that I may commission him.” Moses and Joshua went, and presented themselves in the Tent of Meeting.
فَتَرَاءَى ٱلرَّبُّ فِي ٱلْخَيْمَةِ فِي عَمُودِ سَحَابٍ، وَوَقَفَ عَمُودُ ٱلسَّحَابِ عَلَى بَابِ ٱلْخَيْمَةِ. ١٥ 15
Yahweh appeared in the Tent in a pillar of cloud, and the pillar of cloud stood over the Tent’s door.
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. ١٦ 16
Yahweh said to Moses, “Behold, you shall sleep with your fathers. This people will rise up and play the prostitute after the strange gods of the land where they go to be among them, and will forsake me and break my covenant which I have made with them.
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! ١٧ 17
Then my anger shall be kindled against them in that day, and I will forsake them, and I will hide my face from them, and they shall be devoured, and many evils and troubles shall come on them; so that they will say in that day, ‘Haven’t these evils come on us because our God is not among us?’
وَأَنَا أَحْجُبُ وَجْهِي فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ لِأَجْلِ جَمِيعِ ٱلشَّرِّ ٱلَّذِي عَمِلَهُ، إِذِ ٱلْتَفَتَ إِلَى آلِهَةٍ أُخْرَى. ١٨ 18
I will surely hide my face in that day for all the evil which they have done, in that they have turned to other gods.
فَٱلْآنَ ٱكْتُبُوا لِأَنْفُسِكُمْ هَذَا ٱلنَّشِيدَ، وَعَلِّمْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ إِيَّاهُ. ضَعْهُ فِي أَفْوَاهِهِمْ لِكَيْ يَكُونَ لِي هَذَا ٱلنَّشِيدُ شَاهِدًا عَلَى بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ. ١٩ 19
“Now therefore write this song for yourselves, and teach it to the children of Israel. Put it in their mouths, that this song may be a witness for me against the children of Israel.
لِأَنِّي أُدْخِلُهُمُ ٱلْأَرْضَ ٱلَّتِي أَقْسَمْتُ لِآبَائِهِمِ، ٱلْفَائِضَةَ لَبَنًا وَعَسَلًا، فَيَأْكُلُونَ وَيَشْبَعُونَ وَيَسْمَنُونَ، ثُمَّ يَلْتَفِتُونَ إِلَى آلِهَةٍ أُخْرَى وَيَعْبُدُونَهَا وَيَزْدَرُونَ بِي وَيَنْكُثُونَ عَهْدِي. ٢٠ 20
For when I have brought them into the land which I swore to their fathers, flowing with milk and honey, and they have eaten and filled themselves, and grown fat, then they will turn to other gods, and serve them, and despise me, and break my covenant.
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». ٢١ 21
It will happen, when many evils and troubles have come on them, that this song will testify before them as a witness; for it will not be forgotten out of the mouths of their descendants; for I know their ways and what they are doing today, before I have brought them into the land which I promised them.”
فَكَتَبَ مُوسَى هَذَا ٱلنَّشِيدَ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ وَعَلَّمَ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ إِيَّاهُ. ٢٢ 22
So Moses wrote this song the same day, and taught it to the children of Israel.
وَأَوْصَى يَشُوعَ بْنَ نُونَ وَقَالَ: «تَشَدَّدْ وَتَشَجَّعْ، لِأَنَّكَ أَنْتَ تَدْخُلُ بِبَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ ٱلْأَرْضَ ٱلَّتِي أَقْسَمْتُ لَهُمْ عَنْهَا، وَأَنَا أَكُونُ مَعَكَ». ٢٣ 23
He commissioned Joshua the son of Nun, and said, “Be strong and courageous; for you shall bring the children of Israel into the land which I swore to them. I will be with you.”
فَعِنْدَمَا كَمَّلَ مُوسَى كِتَابَةَ كَلِمَاتِ هَذِهِ ٱلتَّوْرَاةِ فِي كِتَابٍ إِلَى تَمَامِهَا، ٢٤ 24
When Moses had finished writing the words of this law in a book, until they were finished,
أَمَرَ مُوسَى ٱللَّاوِيِّينَ حَامِلِي تَابُوتِ عَهْدِ ٱلرَّبِّ قَائِلًا: ٢٥ 25
Moses commanded the Levites, who bore the ark of Yahweh’s covenant, saying,
«خُذُوا كِتَابَ ٱلتَّوْرَاةِ هَذَا وَضَعُوهُ بِجَانِبِ تَابُوتِ عَهْدِ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِكُمْ، لِيَكُونَ هُنَاكَ شَاهِدًا عَلَيْكُمْ. ٢٦ 26
“Take this book of the law, and put it by the side of the ark of Yahweh your God’s covenant, that it may be there for a witness against you.
لِأَنِّي أَنَا عَارِفٌ تَمَرُّدَكُمْ وَرِقَابَكُمُ ٱلصُّلْبَةَ. هُوَذَا وَأَنَا بَعْدُ حَيٌّ مَعَكُمُ ٱلْيَوْمَ، قَدْ صِرْتُمْ تُقَاوِمُونَ ٱلرَّبَّ، فَكَمْ بِٱلْحَرِيِّ بَعْدَ مَوْتِي! ٢٧ 27
For I know your rebellion and your stiff neck. Behold, while I am yet alive with you today, you have been rebellious against Yahweh. How much more after my death?
اِجْمَعُوا إِلَيَّ كُلَّ شُيُوخِ أَسْبَاطِكُمْ وَعُرَفَاءَكُمْ لِأَنْطِقَ فِي مَسَامِعِهِمْ بِهَذِهِ ٱلْكَلِمَاتِ، وَأُشْهِدَ عَلَيْهِمِ ٱلسَّمَاءَ وَٱلْأَرْضَ. ٢٨ 28
Assemble to me all the elders of your tribes and your officers, that I may speak these words in their ears, and call heaven and earth to witness against them.
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». ٢٩ 29
For I know that after my death you will utterly corrupt yourselves, and turn away from the way which I have commanded you; and evil will happen to you in the latter days, because you will do that which is evil in Yahweh’s sight, to provoke him to anger through the work of your hands.”
فَنَطَقَ مُوسَى فِي مَسَامِعِ كُلِّ جَمَاعَةِ إِسْرَائِيلَ بِكَلِمَاتِ هَذَا ٱلنَّشِيدِ إِلَى تَمَامِهِ: ٣٠ 30
Moses spoke in the ears of all the assembly of Israel the words of this song, until they were finished.
