< اَلتَّثْنِيَة 32 >

«اِنْصِتِي أَيَّتُهَا ٱلسَّمَاوَاتُ فَأَتَكَلَّمَ، وَلْتَسْمَعِ ٱلْأَرْضُ أَقْوَالَ فَمِي. ١ 1
Heaven, listen as I speak; Earth, hear what I'm saying.
يَهْطِلُ كَٱلْمَطَرِ تَعْلِيمِي، وَيَقْطُرُ كَٱلنَّدَى كَلَامِي. كَٱلطَّلِّ عَلَى ٱلْكَلاءِ، وَكَالْوَابِلِ عَلَى ٱلْعُشْبِ. ٢ 2
May my teaching fall gently like the rain; may my words drop lightly like the dew, like soft rain on new grass, like spring showers on growing plants.
إِنِّي بِٱسْمِ ٱلرَّبِّ أُنَادِي. أَعْطُوا عَظَمَةً لِإِلَهِنَا. ٣ 3
I will praise the Lord's character. Tell everyone how great he is!
هُوَ ٱلصَّخْرُ ٱلْكَامِلُ صَنِيعُهُ. إِنَّ جَمِيعَ سُبُلِهِ عَدْلٌ. إِلَهُ أَمَانَةٍ لَا جَوْرَ فِيهِ. صِدِّيقٌ وَعَادِلٌ هُوَ. ٤ 4
He is the Rock. Everything he does is perfect, for all his ways are right. He is the trustworthy God who is never unjust; he is fair and honest.
«أَفْسَدَ لَهُ ٱلَّذِينَ لَيْسُوا أَوْلَادَهُ عَيْبُهُمْ، جِيلٌ أَعْوَجُ مُلْتوٍ. ٥ 5
His children have acted immorally towards him; so they are no longer his children because of their sinful stains. They are a perverse and corrupt people.
أَلرَّبَّ تُكَافِئُونَ بِهَذَا يَا شَعْبًا غَبِيًّا غَيْرَ حَكِيمٍ؟ أَلَيْسَ هُوَ أَبَاكَ وَمُقْتَنِيَكَ، هُوَ عَمِلَكَ وَأَنْشَأَكَ؟ ٦ 6
Is this any way to repay the Lord, you foolish, stupid people? Isn't he your Father who created you? Isn't he the one who turned you into a nation and made you strong?
اُذْكُرْ أَيَّامَ ٱلْقِدَمِ، وَتَأَمَّلُوا سِنِي دَوْرٍ فَدَوْرٍ. اِسْأَلْ أَبَاكَ فَيُخْبِرَكَ، وَشُيُوخَكَ فَيَقُولُوا لَكَ. ٧ 7
Remember the olden days; think about times long ago. God and ask your father, and he will explain them to you. Talk to your elders, and they will let you know.
«حِينَ قَسَمَ ٱلْعَلِيُّ لِلْأُمَمِ، حِينَ فَرَّقَ بَنِي آدَمَ، نَصَبَ تُخُومًا لِشُعُوبٍ حَسَبَ عَدَدِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ. ٨ 8
The Most High gave the nations their lands when he divided the human race; he fixed their borders depending on their gods.
إِنَّ قِسْمَ ٱلرَّبِّ هُوَ شَعْبُهُ. يَعْقُوبُ حَبْلُ نَصِيبِهِ. ٩ 9
But the Lord's people are his, Israel is his chosen one.
وَجَدَهُ فِي أَرْضِ قَفْرٍ، وَفِي خَلَاءٍ مُسْتَوْحِشٍ خَرِبٍ. أَحَاطَ بِهِ وَلَاحَظَهُ وَصَانَهُ كَحَدَقَةِ عَيْنِهِ. ١٠ 10
He found you in a desert land, in a desolate wasteland of whirlwinds. He protected you; he cared for you; he looked after you as the one he loved the most.
كَمَا يُحَرِّكُ ٱلنَّسْرُ عُشَّهُ وَعَلَى فِرَاخِهِ يَرِفُّ، وَيَبْسُطُ جَنَاحَيْهِ وَيَأْخُذُهَا وَيَحْمِلُهَا عَلَى مَنَاكِبِهِ، ١١ 11
Like an eagle watching over its nest, hovering over its chicks, he spread his wings and picked you up and carried you along.
هَكَذَا ٱلرَّبُّ وَحْدَهُ ٱقْتَادَهُ وَلَيْسَ مَعَهُ إِلَهٌ أَجْنَبِيٌّ. ١٢ 12
The Lord was the only one who led you; no foreign god was with him.
أَرْكَبَهُ عَلَى مُرْتَفَعَاتِ ٱلْأَرْضِ فَأَكَلَ ثِمَارَ ٱلصَّحْرَاءِ، وَأَرْضَعَهُ عَسَلًا مِنْ حَجَرٍ، وَزَيْتًا مِنْ صَوَّانِ ٱلصَّخْرِ، ١٣ 13
The Lord gave you the high country to rule, and fed you with the crops of the field to eat. He sustained you with honey from the rock and olive oil from the flinty crag,
وَزُبْدَةَ بَقَرٍ وَلَبَنَ غَنَمٍ، مَعَ شَحْمِ خِرَافٍ وَكِبَاشٍ أَوْلَادِ بَاشَانَ، وَتُيُوسٍ مَعَ دَسَمِ لُبِّ ٱلْحِنْطَةِ، وَدَمَ ٱلْعِنَبِ شَرِبْتَهُ خَمْرًا. ١٤ 14
with yogurt from the herd and milk from the flock, with the fat of lambs, with rams from Bashan, and goats, along with the best wheat. You drank the wine made from the best grapes.
«فَسَمِنَ يَشُورُونَ وَرَفَسَ. سَمِنْتَ وَغَلُظْتَ وَٱكْتَسَيْتَ شَحْمًا! فَرَفَضَ ٱلْإِلَهَ ٱلَّذِي عَمِلَهُ، وَغَبِيَ عَنْ صَخْرَةِ خَلَاصِهِ. ١٥ 15
But Israel, you grew fat and rebelled—fat, overweight, and bloated with food. You abandoned the God who made you and despised the Rock of your salvation.
أَغَارُوهُ بِٱلْأَجَانِبِ، وَأَغَاظُوهُ بِٱلْأَرْجَاسِ. ١٦ 16
You made the Lord jealous by worshiping foreign gods; you made him angry with such disgusting practices.
ذَبَحُوا لِأَوْثَانٍ لَيْسَتِ ٱللهَ. لِآلِهَةٍ لَمْ يَعْرِفُوهَا، أَحْدَاثٍ قَدْ جَاءَتْ مِنْ قَرِيبٍ لَمْ يَرْهَبْهَا آبَاؤُكُمْ. ١٧ 17
You offered sacrifices to demons instead of God, to gods you didn't know anything about, to brand-new gods that your forefathers didn't worship.
ٱلصَّخْرُ ٱلَّذِي وَلَدَكَ تَرَكْتَهُ، وَنَسِيتَ ٱللهَ ٱلَّذِي أَبْدَأَكَ. ١٨ 18
You dismissed the Rock who fathered you; you forgot the God who gave birth to you.
«فَرَأَى ٱلرَّبُّ وَرَذَلَ مِنَ ٱلْغَيْظِ بَنِيهِ وَبَنَاتِهِ. ١٩ 19
The Lord rejected them when he saw this; his sons and daughters made him angry.
وَقَالَ: أَحْجُبُ وَجْهِي عَنْهُمْ، وَأَنْظُرُ مَاذَا تَكُونُ آخِرَتُهُمْ. إِنَّهُمْ جِيلٌ مُتَقَلِّبٌ، أَوْلَادٌ لَا أَمَانَةَ فِيهِمْ. ٢٠ 20
He said: “I will turn away from them. Then I'll see what happens to them! They are a perverse people, unfaithful children.
هُمْ أَغَارُونِي بِمَا لَيْسَ إِلَهًا، أَغَاظُونِي بِأَبَاطِيلِهِمْ. فَأَنَا أُغِيرُهُمْ بِمَا لَيْسَ شَعْبًا، بِأُمَّةٍ غَبِيَّةٍ أُغِيظُهُمْ. ٢١ 21
They have made me jealous by worshiping things that are not God; they have made me angry with their useless idols. So I will make them jealous using a people that aren't really a nation; I will make them angry using ignorant foreigners.
إِنَّهُ قَدِ ٱشْتَعَلَتْ نَارٌ بِغَضَبِي فَتَتَّقِدُ إِلَى ٱلْهَاوِيَةِ ٱلسُّفْلَى، وَتَأْكُلُ ٱلْأَرْضَ وَغَلَّتَهَا، وَتُحْرِقُ أُسُسَ ٱلْجِبَالِ. (Sheol h7585) ٢٢ 22
My anger has been set on fire, burning down to the depths of the grave, destroying the earth and all it produces, even setting fire to the foundations of the mountains. (Sheol h7585)
أَجْمَعُ عَلَيْهِمْ شُرُورًا، وَأُنْفِذُ سِهَامِي فِيهِمْ، ٢٣ 23
I will pile disasters on them; I will use up my arrows shooting at them.
إِذْ هُمْ خَاوُونَ مِنْ جُوعٍ، وَمَنْهُوكُونَ مِنْ حُمَّى وَدَاءٍ سَامٍّ، أُرْسِلُ فِيهِمْ أَنْيَابَ ٱلْوُحُوشِ مَعَ حُمَةِ زَوَاحِفِ ٱلْأَرْضِ. ٢٤ 24
They will waste away from hunger, destroyed by disease and poisonous plague. I will send wild animals to bite them with their teeth, the fangs of snakes that slide along the ground.
مِنْ خَارِجٍ ٱلسَّيْفُ يُثْكِلُ، وَمِنْ دَاخِلِ ٱلْخُدُورِ ٱلرُّعْبَةُ. ٱلْفَتَى مَعَ ٱلْفَتَاةِ وَٱلرَّضِيعُ مَعَ ٱلْأَشْيَبِ. ٢٥ 25
Outside in the streets the sword kills their children, inside their homes, they die from fright; young men and young women, children and old people.
قُلْتُ: أُبَدِّدُهُمْ إِلَى ٱلزَّوَايَا، وَأُبَطِّلُ مِنَ ٱلنَّاسِ ذِكْرَهُمْ. ٢٦ 26
I would have told them I was going to cut them to pieces and wipe out even the memory of them;
لَوْ لَمْ أَخَفْ مِنْ إِغَاظَةِ ٱلْعَدُوِّ، مِنْ أَنْ يُنْكِرَ أَضْدَادُهُمْ، مِنْ أَنْ يَقُولُوا: يَدُنَا ٱرْتَفَعَتْ وَلَيْسَ ٱلرَّبُّ فَعَلَ كُلَّ هَذِهِ. ٢٧ 27
but I didn't want to hear their conquerors jeering, their enemies misunderstanding what had happened and saying, ‘We won all by ourselves, the Lord didn't have anything to do with it.’
«إِنَّهُمْ أُمَّةٌ عَدِيمَةُ ٱلرَّأْيِ وَلَا بَصِيرَةَ فِيهِمْ. ٢٨ 28
Israel is a nation that doesn't think straight; none of them understand anything.
لَوْ عَقَلُوا لَفَطِنُوا بِهَذِهِ وَتَأَمَّلُوا آخِرَتَهُمْ. ٢٩ 29
How I wish they were wise, so they could understand it; they would recognize what was going to happen to them.
كَيْفَ يَطْرُدُ وَاحِدٌ أَلْفًا، وَيَهْزِمُ ٱثْنَانِ رَبْوَةً، لَوْلَا أَنَّ صَخْرَهُمْ بَاعَهُمْ وَٱلرَّبَّ سَلَّمَهُمْ؟ ٣٠ 30
How on earth could one man chase after a thousand, or two make ten thousand run away, unless their Rock of protection had sold them, unless the Lord had surrendered them?
لِأَنَّهُ لَيْسَ كَصَخْرِنَا صَخْرُهُمْ، وَلَوْ كَانَ أَعْدَاؤُنَا ٱلْقُضَاةَ. ٣١ 31
The rock they rely on is not like our Rock, as even our enemies admit.
لِأَنَّ مِنْ جَفْنَةِ سَدُومَ جَفْنَتَهُمْ، وَمِنْ كُرُومِ عَمُورَةَ. عِنَبُهُمْ عِنَبُ سَمٍّ، وَلَهُمْ عَنَاقِيدُ مَرَارَةٍ. ٣٢ 32
But their vine comes from the vine of Sodom, from the fields of Gomorrah. Their grapes are poisonous; they are bitter bunches.
خَمْرُهُمْ حُمَةُ ٱلثَّعَابِينِ وَسَمُّ ٱلْأَصْلَالِ ٱلْقَاتِلُ. ٣٣ 33
Their wine is the poison of serpents, deadly snake venom.
«أَلَيْسَ ذَلِكَ مَكْنُوزًا عِنْدِي، مَخْتُومًا عَلَيْهِ فِي خَزَائِنِي؟ ٣٤ 34
I've stored this all up; it's sealed in my vaults.
لِيَ ٱلنَّقْمَةُ وَٱلْجَزَاءُ. فِي وَقْتٍ تَزِلُّ أَقْدَامُهُمْ. إِنَّ يَوْمَ هَلَاكِهِمْ قَرِيبٌ وَٱلْمُهَيَّآتُ لَهُمْ مُسْرِعَةٌ. ٣٥ 35
I make sure justice is done, I will repay. The time is coming when they will fall, their day of disaster is approaching, their doom will soon arrive.”
لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ يَدِينُ شَعْبَهُ، وَعَلَى عَبِيدِهِ يُشْفِقُ. حِينَ يَرَى أَنَّ ٱلْيَدَ قَدْ مَضَتْ، وَلَمْ يَبْقَ مَحْجُوزٌ وَلَا مُطْلَقٌ، ٣٦ 36
The Lord is going to vindicate his people; he will be merciful to his servants when he sees that they have no strength left, and that everyone is gone, whether slave or free.
يَقُولُ: أَيْنَ آلِهَتُهُمُ، ٱلصَّخْرَةُ ٱلَّتِي ٱلْتَجَأُوا إِلَيْهَا، ٣٧ 37
He'll ask, “What happened to your gods, the rock where your went for protection?
ٱلَّتِي كَانَتْ تَأْكُلُ شَحْمَ ذَبَائِحِهِمْ وَتَشْرَبُ خَمْرَ سَكَائِبِهِمْ؟ لِتَقُمْ وَتُسَاعِدْكُمْ وَتَكُنْ عَلَيْكُمْ حِمَايَةً! ٣٨ 38
Who ate the fat of your sacrifices and drank the wine of your drink offerings? Have them come and help you; have them come and protect you!
اُنْظُرُوا ٱلْآنَ! أَنَا أَنَا هُوَ وَلَيْسَ إِلَهٌ مَعِي. أَنَا أُمِيتُ وَأُحْيِي. سَحَقْتُ، وَإِنِّي أَشْفِي، وَلَيْسَ مِنْ يَدِي مُخَلِّصٌ. ٣٩ 39
Listen! I am the only God! There is no other God except me! I bring death, and I give life; I wound, and I heal. No one can be rescued from my power.
إِنِّي أَرْفَعُ إِلَى ٱلسَّمَاءِ يَدِي وَأَقُولُ: حَيٌّ أَنَا إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ. ٤٠ 40
I hold up my hand to heaven and solemnly declare on my eternal life,
إِذَا سَنَنْتُ سَيْفِي ٱلْبَارِقَ، وَأَمْسَكَتْ بِٱلْقَضَاءِ يَدِي، أَرُدُّ نَقْمَةً عَلَى أَضْدَادِي، وَأُجَازِي مُبْغِضِيَّ. ٤١ 41
when I sharpen my shining sword and pick it up to execute judgment, I will repay my enemies and punish those who hate me as they deserve.
أُسْكِرُ سِهَامِي بِدَمٍ، وَيَأْكُلُ سَيْفِي لَحْمًا. بِدَمِ ٱلْقَتْلَى وَٱلسَّبَايَا، وَمِنْ رُؤُوسِ قُوَّادِ ٱلْعَدُوِّ. ٤٢ 42
My arrows will become drunk with blood, as my sword eats flesh; the blood of those who are killed and captured, the heads of the enemy's leaders.”
«تَهَلَّلُوا أَيُّهَا ٱلْأُمَمُ، شَعْبُهُ، لِأَنَّهُ يَنْتَقِمُ بِدَمِ عَبِيدِهِ، وَيَرُدُّ نَقْمَةً عَلَى أَضْدَادِهِ، وَيَصْفَحُ عَنْ أَرْضِهِ عَنْ شَعْبِهِ». ٤٣ 43
Celebrate with him! Let all God's angels worship him! Celebrate, foreigners, with his people; because he will pay back those who killed his children. He will punish his enemies, and repay those who hate him; he will purify his land and his people.
فَأَتَى مُوسَى وَنَطَقَ بِجَمِيعِ كَلِمَاتِ هَذَا ٱلنَّشِيدِ فِي مَسَامِعِ ٱلشَّعْبِ، هُوَ وَيَشُوعُ بْنُ نُونَ. ٤٤ 44
Then Moses came with Joshua son of Nun and recited all the words of this song for the people to hear.
وَلَمَّا فَرَغَ مُوسَى مِنْ مُخَاطَبَةِ جَمِيعِ إِسْرَائِيلَ بِكُلِّ هَذِهِ ٱلْكَلِمَاتِ، ٤٥ 45
After Moses finished reciting the whole song to all the Israelites,
قَالَ لَهُمْ: «وَجِّهُوا قُلُوبَكُمْ إِلَى جَمِيعِ ٱلْكَلِمَاتِ ٱلَّتِي أَنَا أَشْهَدُ عَلَيْكُمْ بِهَا ٱلْيَوْمَ، لِكَيْ تُوصُوا بِهَا أَوْلَادَكُمْ، لِيَحْرِصُوا أَنْ يَعْمَلُوا بِجَمِيعِ كَلِمَاتِ هَذِهِ ٱلتَّوْرَاةِ. ٤٦ 46
he told them, “Think about all these words I've declared to you today, so you can order your children to follow carefully everything in this law.
لِأَنَّهَا لَيْسَتْ أَمْرًا بَاطِلًا عَلَيْكُمْ، بَلْ هِيَ حَيَاتُكُمْ. وَبِهَذَا ٱلْأَمْرِ تُطِيلُونَ ٱلْأَيَّامَ عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ ٱلَّتِي أَنْتُمْ عَابِرُونَ ٱلْأُرْدُنَّ إِلَيْهَا لِتَمْتَلِكُوهَا». ٤٧ 47
Don't treat these words as trivial because they are your life, and by them you will have long lives in the country that you will own after crossing the Jordan.”
وَكَلَّمَ ٱلرَّبُّ مُوسَى فِي نَفْسِ ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ قَائِلًا: ٤٨ 48
That same day the Lord told Moses,
«اِصْعَدْ إِلَى جَبَلِ عَبَارِيمَ هَذَا، جَبَلِ نَبُو ٱلَّذِي فِي أَرْضِ مُوآبَ ٱلَّذِي قُبَالَةَ أَرِيحَا، وَٱنْظُرْ أَرْضَ كَنْعَانَ ٱلَّتِي أَنَا أُعْطِيهَا لِبَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ مُلْكًا، ٤٩ 49
“Climb up into the Abarim mountains to Mount Nebo, in the land of Moab opposite Jericho, and look over the country of Canaan, which I am giving to the Israelites for them to own.
وَمُتْ فِي ٱلْجَبَلِ ٱلَّذِي تَصْعَدُ إِلَيْهِ، وَٱنْضَمَّ إِلَى قَوْمِكَ، كَمَا مَاتَ هَارُونُ أَخُوكَ فِي جَبَلِ هُورٍ وَضُمَّ إِلَى قَوْمِهِ. ٥٠ 50
There on the mountain you've climbed, you will die and join your people in death, in the same way your brother Aaron died on Mount Hor and joined his people.
لِأَنَّكُمَا خُنْتُمَانِي فِي وَسَطِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ عِنْدَ مَاءِ مَرِيبَةِ قَادَشَ فِي بَرِّيَّةِ صِينٍ، إِذْ لَمْ تُقَدِّسَانِي فِي وَسَطِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ. ٥١ 51
For there at the waters of Meribah-kadesh in the Desert of Zin, you both were unfaithful to me. You misrepresented me to the Israelites when you didn't treat me as holy in their presence.
فَإِنَّكَ تَنْظُرُ ٱلْأَرْضَ مِنْ قُبَالَتِهَا، وَلَكِنَّكَ لَا تَدْخُلُ إِلَى هُنَاكَ إِلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ ٱلَّتِي أَنَا أُعْطِيهَا لِبَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ». ٥٢ 52
Though you will see the country that I am giving the Israelites from a distance, you won't enter it.”
