اَلتَّثْنِيَة 34

١ 1 وَصَعِدَ مُوسَى مِنْ عَرَبَاتِ مُوآبَ إِلَى جَبَلِ نَبُو، إِلَى رَأْسِ ٱلْفِسْجَةِ ٱلَّذِي قُبَالَةَ أَرِيحَا، فَأَرَاهُ ٱلرَّبُّ جَمِيعَ ٱلْأَرْضِ مِنْ جِلْعَادَ إِلَى دَانَ،

Then Moses climbed up from the plains in the Moab [region] to the top of Pisgah Peak on Nebo Mountain, across [the Jordan River] from Jericho. There Yahweh showed him all the land [that the Israelis would occupy]. He showed him the Gilead [region] as far north as Dan [city];

٢ 2 وَجَمِيعَ نَفْتَالِي وَأَرْضَ أَفْرَايِمَ وَمَنَسَّى، وَجَمِيعَ أَرْضِ يَهُوذَا إِلَى ٱلْبَحْرِ ٱلْغَرْبِيِّ،

all [the land that the tribe of] Naphtali would occupy; all the land [that the tribes] of Ephraim and Manasseh [had occupied]; all the land [that the tribe of] Judah would occupy as far west as the Mediterranean sea;

٣ 3 وَٱلْجَنُوبَ وَٱلدَّائِرَةَ بُقْعَةَ أَرِيحَا مَدِينَةِ ٱلنَّخْلِ، إِلَى صُوغَرَ.

the desert [area in the south part of Judah]; and the [Jordan] Valley that extends from Jericho [in the north] to Zoar [city in the south].

٤ 4 وَقَالَ لَهُ ٱلرَّبُّ: «هَذِهِ هِيَ ٱلْأَرْضُ ٱلَّتِي أَقْسَمْتُ لِإِبْرَاهِيمَ وَإِسْحَاقَ وَيَعْقُوبَ قَائِلًا: لِنَسْلِكَ أُعْطِيهَا. قَدْ أَرَيْتُكَ إِيَّاهَا بِعَيْنَيْكَ، وَلَكِنَّكَ إِلَى هُنَاكَ لَا تَعْبُرُ».

Then Yahweh said to him, “You have now seen this land that I solemnly promised to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, saying ‘I will give it to your descendants.’ I have allowed you to see it [from a distance], but you will not go there.”

٥ 5 فَمَاتَ هُنَاكَ مُوسَى عَبْدُ ٱلرَّبِّ فِي أَرْضِ مُوآبَ حَسَبَ قَوْلِ ٱلرَّبِّ.

So Moses, who [always] served Yahweh [faithfully], died there [on that mountain] in the Moab [region], which is what Yahweh said would happen.

٦ 6 وَدَفَنَهُ فِي ٱلْجِوَاءِ فِي أَرْضِ مُوآبَ، مُقَابِلَ بَيْتِ فَغُورَ. وَلَمْ يَعْرِفْ إِنْسَانٌ قَبْرَهُ إِلَى هَذَا ٱلْيَوْمِ.

Yahweh buried Moses’ body in a valley in the Moab [region], opposite/near Beth-Peor [town], but no one to this day knows where Yahweh buried him.

٧ 7 وَكَانَ مُوسَى ٱبْنَ مِئَةٍ وَعِشْرِينَ سَنَةً حِينَ مَاتَ، وَلَمْ تَكِلَّ عَيْنُهُ وَلَا ذَهَبَتْ نَضَارَتُهُ.

Moses was 120 years old when he died, but he was still very strong, and he could still see [MTY] very well.

٨ 8 فَبَكَى بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ مُوسَى فِي عَرَبَاتِ مُوآبَ ثَلَاثِينَ يَوْمًا. فَكَمُلَتْ أَيَّامُ بُكَاءِ مَنَاحَةِ مُوسَى.

The Israeli people mourned for him in the plains of the Moab [region] for 30 days.

٩ 9 وَيَشُوعُ بْنُ نُونٍ كَانَ قَدِ ٱمْتَلَأَ رُوحَ حِكْمَةٍ، إِذْ وَضَعَ مُوسَى عَلَيْهِ يَدَيْهِ، فَسَمِعَ لَهُ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ وَعَمِلُوا كَمَا أَوْصَى ٱلرَّبُّ مُوسَى.

God caused Joshua to be very wise, because Moses had put his hands on Joshua [to appoint him to be their new leader]. The Israeli people obeyed Joshua, and they obeyed all the commands that Yahweh had given to Moses to tell to the Israeli people.

١٠ 10 وَلَمْ يَقُمْ بَعْدُ نَبِيٌّ فِي إِسْرَائِيلَ مِثْلُ مُوسَى ٱلَّذِي عَرَفَهُ ٱلرَّبُّ وَجْهًا لِوَجْهٍ،

Since the time that Moses [lived], there has never been a prophet in Israel like him. Yahweh spoke to him face-to-face/directly.

١١ 11 فِي جَمِيعِ ٱلْآيَاتِ وَٱلْعَجَائِبِ ٱلَّتِي أَرْسَلَهُ ٱلرَّبُّ لِيَعْمَلَهَا فِي أَرْضِ مِصْرَ بِفِرْعَوْنَ وَبِجَمِيعِ عَبِيدِهِ وَكُلِّ أَرْضِهِ،

No other prophet has performed all the kinds of [DOU] miracles that Yahweh sent Moses to perform in front of the king of Egypt, his officials, and all [HYP] the people of Egypt.

١٢ 12 وَفِي كُلِّ ٱلْيَدِ ٱلشَّدِيدَةِ وَكُلِّ ٱلْمَخَاوِفِ ٱلْعَظِيمَةِ ٱلَّتِي صَنَعَهَا مُوسَى أَمَامَ أَعْيُنِ جَمِيعِ إِسْرَائِيلَ.

No other prophet has been able to do all the great and terrifying things that Moses did while all the Israelis watched.
