اَلتَّثْنِيَة 6

١ 1 «وَهَذِهِ هِيَ ٱلْوَصَايَا وَٱلْفَرَائِضُ وَٱلْأَحْكَامُ ٱلَّتِي أَمَرَ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكُمْ أَنْ أُعَلِّمَكُمْ لِتَعْمَلُوهَا فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ ٱلَّتِي أَنْتُمْ عَابِرُونَ إِلَيْهَا لِتَمْتَلِكُوهَا،

These are the precepts, and ceremonies, and judgments, which the Lord your God commanded that I should teach you, and that you should do them in the land into which you pass over to possess it:

٢ 2 لِكَيْ تَتَّقِيَ ٱلرَّبَّ إِلَهَكَ وَتَحْفَظَ جَمِيعَ فَرَائِضِهِ وَوَصَايَاهُ ٱلَّتِي أَنَا أُوصِيكَ بِهَا، أَنْتَ وَٱبْنُكَ وَٱبْنُ ٱبْنِكَ كُلَّ أَيَّامِ حَيَاتِكَ، وَلِكَيْ تَطُولَ أَيَّامُكَ.

That thou mayst fear the Lord thy God, and keep all his commandments and precepts, which I command thee, and thy sons, and thy grandsons, all the days of thy life, that thy days may be prolonged.

٣ 3 فَٱسْمَعْ يَا إِسْرَائِيلُ وَٱحْتَرِزْ لِتَعْمَلَ، لِكَيْ يَكُونَ لَكَ خَيْرٌ وَتَكْثُرَ جِدًّا، كَمَا كَلَّمَكَ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُ آبَائِكَ فِي أَرْضٍ تَفِيضُ لَبَنًا وَعَسَلًا.

Hear, O Israel, and observe to do the things which the Lord hath commanded thee, that it may be well with thee, and thou mayst be greatly multiplied, as the Lord the God of thy fathers hath promised thee a land flowing with milk and honey.

٤ 4 «اِسْمَعْ يَا إِسْرَائِيلُ: ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُنَا رَبٌّ وَاحِدٌ.

Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God is one Lord.

٥ 5 فَتُحِبُّ ٱلرَّبَّ إِلَهَكَ مِنْ كُلِّ قَلْبِكَ وَمِنْ كُلِّ نَفْسِكَ وَمِنْ كُلِّ قُوَّتِكَ.

Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with thy whole heart, and with thy whole soul, and with thy whole strength.

٦ 6 وَلْتَكُنْ هَذِهِ ٱلْكَلِمَاتُ ٱلَّتِي أَنَا أُوصِيكَ بِهَا ٱلْيَوْمَ عَلَى قَلْبِكَ،

And these words which I command thee this day, shall be in thy heart:

٧ 7 وَقُصَّهَا عَلَى أَوْلَادِكَ، وَتَكَلَّمْ بِهَا حِينَ تَجْلِسُ فِي بَيْتِكَ، وَحِينَ تَمْشِي فِي ٱلطَّرِيقِ، وَحِينَ تَنَامُ وَحِينَ تَقُومُ،

And thou shalt tell them to thy children, and thou shalt meditate upon them sitting in thy house, and walking on thy journey, sleeping and rising.

٨ 8 وَٱرْبُطْهَا عَلَامَةً عَلَى يَدِكَ، وَلْتَكُنْ عَصَائِبَ بَيْنَ عَيْنَيْكَ،

And thou shalt bind them as a sign on thy hand, and they shall be and shall move between thy eyes.

٩ 9 وَٱكْتُبْهَا عَلَى قَوَائِمِ أَبْوَابِ بَيْتِكَ وَعَلَى أَبْوَابِكَ.

And thou shalt write them in the entry, and on the doors of thy house.

١٠ 10 «وَمَتَى أَتَى بِكَ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكَ إِلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ ٱلَّتِي حَلَفَ لِآبَائِكَ إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَإِسْحَاقَ وَيَعْقُوبَ أَنْ يُعْطِيَكَ، إِلَى مُدُنٍ عَظِيمَةٍ جَيِّدَةٍ لَمْ تَبْنِهَا،

And when the Lord thy God shall have brought thee into the land, for which he swore to thy fathers Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob: and shall have given thee great and goodly cities, which thou didst not build,

١١ 11 وَبُيُوتٍ مَمْلُوءَةٍ كُلَّ خَيْرٍ لَمْ تَمْلَأْهَا، وَأَبَآرٍ مَحْفُورَةٍ لَمْ تَحْفِرْهَا، وَكُرُومٍ وَزَيْتُونٍ لَمْ تَغْرِسْهَا، وَأَكَلْتَ وَشَبِعْتَ،

Houses full of riches, which thou didst not set up, cisterns which thou didst not dig, vineyards and oliveyards, which thou didst not plant,

١٢ 12 فَٱحْتَرِزْ لِئَلَّا تَنْسَى ٱلرَّبَّ ٱلَّذِي أَخْرَجَكَ مِنْ أَرْضِ مِصْرَ مِنْ بَيْتِ ٱلْعُبُودِيَّةِ.

And thou shalt have eaten and be full:

١٣ 13 ٱلرَّبَّ إِلَهَكَ تَتَّقِي، وَإِيَّاهُ تَعْبُدُ، وَبِٱسْمِهِ تَحْلِفُ.

Take heed diligently lest thou forget the Lord, who brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. Thou shalt fear the Lord thy God, and shalt serve him only, and thou shalt swear by his name.

١٤ 14 لَا تَسِيرُوا وَرَاءَ آلِهَةٍ أُخْرَى مِنْ آلِهَةِ ٱلْأُمَمِ ٱلَّتِي حَوْلَكُمْ،

You shall not go after the strange gods of all the nations, that are round about you:

١٥ 15 لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ إِلَهَكُمْ إِلَهٌ غَيُورٌ فِي وَسَطِكُمْ، لِئَلَّا يَحْمَى غَضَبُ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِكُمْ عَلَيْكُمْ فَيُبِيدَكُمْ عَنْ وَجْهِ ٱلْأَرْضِ.

Because the Lord thy God is a jealous God in the midst of thee: lest at any time the wrath of the Lord thy God be kindled against thee, and take thee away from the face of the earth.

١٦ 16 لَا تُجَرِّبُوا ٱلرَّبَّ إِلَهَكُمْ كَمَا جَرَّبْتُمُوهُ فِي مَسَّةَ.

Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God, as thou temptedst him in the place of temptation.

١٧ 17 ٱحْفَظُوا وَصَايَا ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِكُمْ وَشَهَادَاتِهِ وَفَرَائِضِهِ ٱلَّتِي أَوْصَاكُمْ بِهَا.

Keep the precepts of the Lord thy God, and the testimonies and ceremonies which he hath commanded thee.

١٨ 18 وَٱعْمَلِ ٱلصَّالِحَ وَٱلْحَسَنَ فِي عَيْنَيِ ٱلرَّبِّ، لِكَيْ يَكُونَ لَكَ خَيْرٌ، وَتَدْخُلَ وَتَمْتَلِكَ ٱلْأَرْضَ ٱلْجَيِّدَةَ ٱلَّتِي حَلَفَ ٱلرَّبُّ لِآبَائِكَ

And do that which is pleasing and good in the sight of the Lord, that it may be well with thee: and going in thou mayst possess the goodly land, concerning which the Lord swore to thy fathers,

١٩ 19 أَنْ يَنْفِيَ جَمِيعَ أَعْدَائِكَ مِنْ أَمَامِكَ. كَمَا تَكَلَّمَ ٱلرَّبُّ.

That he would destroy all thy enemies before thee, as he hath spoken.

٢٠ 20 «إِذَا سَأَلَكَ ٱبْنُكَ غَدًا قَائِلًا: مَا هِيَ ٱلشَّهَادَاتُ وَٱلْفَرَائِضُ وَٱلْأَحْكَامُ ٱلَّتِي أَوْصَاكُمْ بِهَا ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُنَا؟

And when thy son shall ask thee tomorrow, saying: What mean these testimonies, and ceremonies and judgments, which the Lord our God hath commanded us?

٢١ 21 تَقُولُ لِٱبْنِكَ: كُنَّا عَبِيدًا لِفِرْعَوْنَ فِي مِصْرَ، فَأَخْرَجَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ مِنْ مِصْرَ بِيَدٍ شَدِيدَةٍ.

Thou shalt say to him: We were bondmen of Pharao in Egypt, and the Lord brought us out of Egypt with a strong hand.

٢٢ 22 وَصَنَعَ ٱلرَّبُّ آيَاتٍ وَعَجَائِبَ عَظِيمَةً وَرَدِيئَةً بِمِصْرَ، بِفِرْعَوْنَ وَجَمِيعِ بَيْتِهِ أَمَامَ أَعْيُنِنَا

And he wrought signs and wonders great and very grievous in Egypt against Pharao, and all his house, in our sight,

٢٣ 23 وَأَخْرَجَنَا مِنْ هُنَاكَ لِكَيْ يَأْتِيَ بِنَا وَيُعْطِيَنَا ٱلْأَرْضَ ٱلَّتِي حَلَفَ لِآبَائِنَا.

And he brought us out from thence, that he might bring us in and give us the land, concerning which he swore to our fathers.

٢٤ 24 فَأَمَرَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ أَنْ نَعْمَلَ جَمِيعَ هَذِهِ ٱلْفَرَائِضَ وَنَتَّقِيَ ٱلرَّبَّ إِلَهَنَا، لِيَكُونَ لَنَا خَيْرٌ كُلَّ ٱلْأَيَّامِ، وَيَسْتَبْقِيَنَا كَمَا فِي هَذَا ٱلْيَوْمِ.

And the Lord commanded that we should do all these ordinances, and should fear the Lord our God, that it might be well with us all the days of our life, as it is at this day.

٢٥ 25 وَإِنَّهُ يَكُونُ لَنَا بِرٌّ إِذَا حَفِظْنَا جَمِيعَ هَذِهِ ٱلْوَصَايَا لِنَعْمَلَهَا أَمَامَ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِنَا كَمَا أَوْصَانَا.

And he will be merciful to us, if we keep and do all his precepts before the Lord our God, as he hath commanded us.
