< اَلتَّثْنِيَة 1 >

هَذَا هُوَ ٱلْكَلَامُ ٱلَّذِي كَلَّمَ بِهِ مُوسَى جَمِيعَ إِسْرَائِيلَ فِي عَبْرِ ٱلْأُرْدُنِّ، فِي ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ فِي ٱلْعَرَبَةِ، قُبَالَةَ سُوفَ، بَيْنَ فَارَانَ وَتُوفَلَ وَلَابَانَ وَحَضَيْرُوتَ وَذِي ذَهَبٍ. ١ 1
These be the words which Moses spoke unto all Israel on this side Jordan in the wilderness, in the plain opposite to the Red sea, between Paran, and Tophel, and Laban, and Hazeroth, and Dizahab.
أَحَدَ عَشَرَ يَوْمًا مِنْ حُورِيبَ عَلَى طَرِيقِ جَبَلِ سِعِيرَ إِلَى قَادَشَ بَرْنِيعَ. ٢ 2
(There are eleven days' journey from Horeb by the way of mount Seir unto Kadeshbarnea.)
فَفِي ٱلسَّنَةِ ٱلْأَرْبَعِينَ، فِي ٱلشَّهْرِ ٱلْحَادِي عَشَرَ فِي ٱلْأَوَّلِ مِنَ ٱلشَّهْرِ، كَلَّمَ مُوسَى بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ حَسَبَ كُلِّ مَا أَوْصَاهُ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَيْهِمْ. ٣ 3
And it came to pass in the fortieth year, in the eleventh month, on the first day of the month, that Moses spoke unto the children of Israel, according unto all that the LORD had given him in commandment unto them;
بَعْدَ مَا ضَرَبَ سِيحُونَ مَلِكَ ٱلْأَمُورِيِّينَ ٱلسَّاكِنَ فِي حَشْبُونَ، وَعُوجَ مَلِكَ بَاشَانَ ٱلسَّاكِنَ فِي عَشْتَارُوثَ فِي إِذْرَعِي. ٤ 4
After he had slain Sihon the king of the Amorites, which dwelt in Heshbon, and Og the king of Bashan, which dwelt at Astaroth in Edrei:
فِي عَبْرِ ٱلْأُرْدُنِّ، فِي أَرْضِ مُوآبَ، ٱبْتَدَأَ مُوسَى يَشْرَحُ هَذِهِ ٱلشَّرِيعَةَ قَائِلًا: ٥ 5
On this side Jordan, in the land of Moab, began Moses to declare this law, saying,
«اَلرَّبُّ إِلَهُنَا كَلَّمَنَا فِي حُورِيبَ قَائِلًا: كَفَاكُمْ قُعُودٌ فِي هَذَا ٱلْجَبَلِ، ٦ 6
The LORD our God spoke unto us in Horeb, saying, All of you have dwelt long enough in this mount:
تَحَوَّلُوا وَٱرْتَحِلُوا وَٱدْخُلُوا جَبَلَ ٱلْأَمُورِيِّينَ وَكُلَّ مَا يَلِيهِ مِنَ ٱلْعَرَبَةِ وَٱلْجَبَلِ وَٱلسَّهْلِ وَٱلْجَنُوبِ وَسَاحِلِ ٱلْبَحْرِ، أَرْضَ ٱلْكَنْعَانِيِّ وَلُبْنَانَ إِلَى ٱلنَّهْرِ ٱلْكَبِيرِ، نَهْرِ ٱلْفُرَاتِ. ٧ 7
Turn you, and take your journey, and go to the mount of the Amorites, and unto all the places nigh thereunto, in the plain, in the hills, and in the vale, and in the south, and by the sea side, to the land of the Canaanites, and unto Lebanon, unto the great river, the river Euphrates.
اُنْظُرْ. قَدْ جَعَلْتُ أَمَامَكُمُ ٱلْأَرْضَ. ٱدْخُلُوا وَتَمَلَّكُوا ٱلْأَرْضَ ٱلَّتِي أَقْسَمَ ٱلرَّبُّ لِآبَائِكُمْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَإِسْحَاقَ وَيَعْقُوبَ أَنْ يُعْطِيَهَا لَهُمْ وَلِنَسْلِهِمْ مِنْ بَعْدِهِمْ. ٨ 8
Behold, I have set the land before you: go in and possess the land which the LORD swore unto your fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, to give unto them and to their seed after them.
«وَكَلَّمْتُكُمْ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْوَقْتِ قَائِلًا: لَا أَقْدِرُ وَحْدِي أَنْ أَحْمِلَكُمْ. ٩ 9
And I spoke unto you at that time, saying, I am not able to bear you myself alone:
اَلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكُمْ قَدْ كَثَّرَكُمْ. وَهُوَذَا أَنْتُمُ ٱلْيَوْمَ كَنُجُومِ ٱلسَّمَاءِ فِي ٱلْكَثْرَةِ. ١٠ 10
The LORD your God has multiplied you, and, behold, all of you are this day as the stars of heaven for multitude.
ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُ آبَائِكُمْ يَزِيدُ عَلَيْكُمْ مِثْلَكُمْ أَلْفَ مَرَّةٍ، وَيُبَارِكُكُمْ كَمَا كَلَّمَكُمْ. ١١ 11
(The LORD God of your fathers make you a thousand times so many more as all of you are, and bless you, as he has promised you!)
كَيْفَ أَحْمِلُ وَحْدِي ثِقْلَكُمْ وَحِمْلَكُمْ وَخُصُومَتَكُمْ؟ ١٢ 12
How can I myself alone bear your cumbrance, and your burden, and your strife?
هَاتُوا مِنْ أَسْبَاطِكُمْ رِجَالًا حُكَمَاءَ وَعُقَلَاءَ وَمَعْرُوفِينَ، فَأَجْعَلُهُمْ رُؤُوسَكُمْ. ١٣ 13
Take you wise men, and understanding, and known among your tribes, and I will make them rulers over you.
فَأَجَبْتُمُونِي وَقُلْتُمْ: حَسَنٌ ٱلْأَمْرُ ٱلَّذِي تَكَلَّمْتَ بِهِ أَنْ يُعْمَلَ. ١٤ 14
And all of you answered me, and said, The thing which you have spoken is good for us to do.
فَأَخَذْتُ رُؤُوسَ أَسْبَاطِكُمْ رِجَالًا حُكَمَاءَ وَمَعْرُوفِينَ، وَجَعَلْتُهُمْ رُؤُوسًا عَلَيْكُمْ، رُؤَسَاءَ أُلُوفٍ، وَرُؤَسَاءَ مِئَاتٍ، وَرُؤَسَاءَ خَمَاسِينَ، وَرُؤَسَاءَ عَشَرَاتٍ، وَعُرَفَاءَ لِأَسْبَاطِكُمْ. ١٥ 15
So I took the chief of your tribes, wise men, and known, and made them heads over you, captains over thousands, and captains over hundreds, and captains over fifties, and captains over tens, and officers among your tribes.
وَأَمَرْتُ قُضَاتَكُمْ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْوَقْتِ قَائِلًا: ٱسْمَعُوا بَيْنَ إِخْوَتِكُمْ وَٱقْضُوا بِٱلْحَقِّ بَيْنَ ٱلْإِنْسَانِ وَأَخِيهِ وَنَزِيلِهِ. ١٦ 16
And I charged your judges at that time, saying, Hear the causes between your brethren, and judge righteously between every man and his brother, and the stranger that is with him.
لَا تَنْظُرُوا إِلَى ٱلْوُجُوهِ فِي ٱلْقَضَاءِ. لِلصَّغِيرِ كَٱلْكَبِيرِ تَسْمَعُونَ. لَا تَهَابُوا وَجْهَ إِنْسَانٍ لِأَنَّ ٱلْقَضَاءَ لِلهِ. وَٱلْأَمْرُ ٱلَّذِي يَعْسُرُ عَلَيْكُمْ تُقَدِّمُونَهُ إِلَيَّ لِأَسْمَعَهُ. ١٧ 17
All of you shall not respect persons in judgment; but all of you shall hear the small as well as the great; all of you shall not be afraid of the face of man; for the judgment is God's: and the cause that is too hard for you, bring it unto me, and I will hear it.
وَأَمَرْتُكُمْ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْوَقْتِ بِكُلِّ ٱلْأُمُورِ ٱلَّتِي تَعْمَلُونَهَا. ١٨ 18
And I commanded you at that time all the things which all of you should do.
«ثُمَّ ٱرْتَحَلْنَا مِنْ حُورِيبَ، وَسَلَكْنَا كُلَّ ذَلِكَ ٱلْقَفْرِ ٱلْعَظِيمِ ٱلْمَخُوفِ ٱلَّذِي رَأَيْتُمْ فِي طَرِيقِ جَبَلِ ٱلْأَمُورِيِّينَ، كَمَا أَمَرَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُنَا. وَجِئْنَا إِلَى قَادَشَ بَرْنِيعَ. ١٩ 19
And when we departed from Horeb, we went through all that great and terrible wilderness, which all of you saw by the way of the mountain of the Amorites, as the LORD our God commanded us; and we came to Kadeshbarnea.
فَقُلْتُ لَكُمْ: قَدْ جِئْتُمْ إِلَى جَبَلِ ٱلْأَمُورِيِّينَ ٱلَّذِي أَعْطَانَا ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُنَا. ٢٠ 20
And I said unto you, All of you are come unto the mountain of the Amorites, which the LORD our God does give unto us.
اُنْظُرْ. قَدْ جَعَلَ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكَ ٱلْأَرْضَ أَمَامَكَ. ٱصْعَدْ تَمَلَّكْ كَمَا كَلَّمَكَ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُ آبَائِكَ. لَا تَخَفْ وَلَا تَرْتَعِبْ. ٢١ 21
Behold, the LORD your God has set the land before you: go up and possess it, as the LORD God of your fathers has said unto you; fear not, neither be discouraged.
فَتَقَدَّمْتُمْ إِلَيَّ جَمِيعُكُمْ وَقُلْتُمْ: دَعْنَا نُرْسِلْ رِجَالًا قُدَّامَنَا لِيَتَجَسَّسُوا لَنَا ٱلْأَرْضَ، وَيَرُدُّوا إِلَيْنَا خَبَرًا عَنِ ٱلطَّرِيقِ ٱلَّتِي نَصْعَدُ فِيهَا وَٱلْمُدُنِ ٱلَّتِي نَأْتِي إِلَيْهَا. ٢٢ 22
And all of you came near unto me every one of you, and said, We will send men before us, and they shall search us out the land, and bring us word again by what way we must go up, and into what cities we shall come.
فَحَسُنَ ٱلْكَلَامُ لَدَيَّ، فَأَخَذْتُ مِنْكُمُ ٱثْنَيْ عَشَرَ رَجُلًا. رَجُلًا وَاحِدًا مِنْ كُلِّ سِبْطٍ. ٢٣ 23
And the saying pleased me well: and I took twelve men of you, one of a tribe:
فَٱنْصَرَفُوا وَصَعِدُوا إِلَى ٱلْجَبَلِ وَأَتَوْا إِلَى وَادِي أَشْكُولَ وَتَجَسَّسُوهُ، ٢٤ 24
And they turned and went up into the mountain, and came unto the valley of Eshcol, and searched it out.
وَأَخَذُوا فِي أَيْدِيهِمْ مِنْ أَثْمَارِ ٱلْأَرْضِ وَنَزَلُوا بِهِ إِلَيْنَا، وَرَدُّوا لَنَا خَبَرًا وَقَالُوا: جَيِّدَةٌ هِيَ ٱلْأَرْضُ ٱلَّتِي أَعْطَانَا ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُنَا. ٢٥ 25
And they took of the fruit of the land in their hands, and brought it down unto us, and brought us word again, and said, It is a good land which the LORD our God does give us.
«لَكِنَّكُمْ لَمْ تَشَاءُوا أَنْ تَصْعَدُوا، وَعَصَيْتُمْ قَوْلَ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِكُمْ، ٢٦ 26
Notwithstanding all of you would not go up, but rebelled against the commandment of the LORD your God:
وَتَمَرْمَرْتُمْ فِي خِيَامِكُمْ وَقُلْتُمُ: ٱلرَّبُّ بِسَبَبِ بُغْضَتِهِ لَنَا، قَدْ أَخْرَجَنَا مِنْ أَرْضِ مِصْرَ لِيَدْفَعَنَا إِلَى أَيْدِي ٱلْأَمُورِيِّينَ لِكَيْ يُهْلِكَنَا. ٢٧ 27
And all of you murmured in your tents, and said, Because the LORD hated us, he has brought us forth out of the land of Egypt, to deliver us into the hand of the Amorites, to destroy us.
إِلَى أَيْنَ نَحْنُ صَاعِدُونَ؟ قَدْ أَذَابَ إِخْوَتُنَا قُلُوبَنَا قَائِلِينَ: شَعْبٌ أَعْظَمُ وَأَطْوَلُ مِنَّا. مُدُنٌ عَظِيمَةٌ مُحَصَّنَةٌ إِلَى ٱلسَّمَاءِ، وَأَيْضًا قَدْ رَأَيْنَا بَنِي عَنَاقَ هُنَاكَ. ٢٨ 28
Where shall we go up? our brethren have discouraged our heart, saying, The people is greater and taller than we; the cities are great and walled up to heaven; and moreover we have seen the sons of the Anakims there.
فَقُلْتُ لَكُمْ: لَا تَرْهَبُوا وَلَا تَخَافُوا مِنْهُمُ. ٢٩ 29
Then I said unto you, Dread not, neither be afraid of them.
ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكُمُ ٱلسَّائِرُ أَمَامَكُمْ هُوَ يُحَارِبُ عَنْكُمْ حَسَبَ كُلِّ مَا فَعَلَ مَعَكُمْ فِي مِصْرَ أَمَامَ أَعْيُنِكُمْ ٣٠ 30
The LORD your God which goes before you, he shall fight for you, according to all that he did for you in Egypt before your eyes;
وَفِي ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ، حَيْثُ رَأَيْتَ كَيْفَ حَمَلَكَ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكَ كَمَا يَحْمِلُ ٱلْإِنْسَانُ ٱبْنَهُ فِي كُلِّ ٱلطَّرِيقِ ٱلَّتِي سَلَكْتُمُوهَا حَتَّى جِئْتُمْ إِلَى هَذَا ٱلْمَكَانِ. ٣١ 31
And in the wilderness, where you have seen how that the LORD your God bare you, as a man does bear his son, in all the way that all of you went, until all of you came into this place.
وَلَكِنْ فِي هَذَا ٱلْأَمْرِ لَسْتُمْ وَاثِقِينَ بِٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِكُمُ ٣٢ 32
Yet in this thing all of you did not believe the LORD your God,
ٱلسَّائِرِ أَمَامَكُمْ فِي ٱلطَّرِيقِ، لِيَلْتَمِسَ لَكُمْ مَكَانًا لِنُزُولِكُمْ، فِي نَارٍ لَيْلًا لِيُرِيَكُمُ ٱلطَّرِيقَ ٱلَّتِي تَسِيرُونَ فِيهَا، وَفِي سَحَابٍ نَهَارًا. ٣٣ 33
Who went in the way before you, to search you out a place to pitch your tents in, in fire by night, to show you by what way all of you should go, and in a cloud by day.
وَسَمِعَ ٱلرَّبُّ صَوْتَ كَلَامِكُمْ فَسَخِطَ وَأَقْسَمَ قَائِلًا: ٣٤ 34
And the LORD heard the voice of your words, and was angry, and swore, saying,
لَنْ يَرَى إِنْسَانٌ مِنْ هَؤُلَاءِ ٱلنَّاسِ، مِنْ هَذَا ٱلْجِيلِ ٱلشِّرِّيرِ، ٱلْأَرْضَ ٱلْجَيِّدَةَ ٱلَّتِي أَقْسَمْتُ أَنْ أُعْطِيَهَا لِآبَائِكُمْ، ٣٥ 35
Surely there shall not one of these men of this evil generation see that good land, which I swore to give unto your fathers.
مَا عَدَا كَالِبَ بْنَ يَفُنَّةَ. هُوَ يَرَاهَا، وَلَهُ أُعْطِي ٱلْأَرْضَ ٱلَّتِي وَطِئَهَا، وَلِبَنِيهِ، لِأَنَّهُ قَدِ ٱتَّبَعَ ٱلرَّبَّ تَمَامًا. ٣٦ 36
Save Caleb the son of Jephunneh; he shall see it, and to him will I give the land that he has trodden upon, and to his children, because he has wholly followed the LORD.
وَعَلَيَّ أَيْضًا غَضِبَ ٱلرَّبُّ بِسَبَبِكُمْ قَائِلًا: وَأَنْتَ أَيْضًا لَا تَدْخُلُ إِلَى هُنَاكَ. ٣٧ 37
Also the LORD was angry with me for your sakes, saying, You also shall not go in thither.
يَشُوعُ بْنُ نُونَ ٱلْوَاقِفُ أَمَامَكَ هُوَ يَدْخُلُ إِلَى هُنَاكَ. شَدِّدْهُ لِأَنَّهُ هُوَ يَقْسِمُهَا لِإِسْرَائِيلَ. ٣٨ 38
But Joshua the son of Nun, which stands before you, he shall go in thither: encourage him: for he shall cause Israel to inherit it.
وَأَمَّا أَطْفَالُكُمُ ٱلَّذِينَ قُلْتُمْ يَكُونُونَ غَنِيمَةً، وَبَنُوكُمُ ٱلَّذِينَ لَمْ يَعْرِفُوا ٱلْيَوْمَ ٱلْخَيْرَ وَٱلشَّرَّ فَهُمْ يَدْخُلُونَ إِلَى هُنَاكَ، وَلَهُمْ أُعْطِيهَا وَهُمْ يَمْلِكُونَهَا. ٣٩ 39
Moreover your little ones, which all of you said should be a prey, and your children, which in that day had no knowledge between good and evil, they shall go in thither, and unto them will I give it, and they shall possess it.
وَأَمَّا أَنْتُمْ فَتَحَوَّلُوا وَٱرْتَحِلُوا إِلَى ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ عَلَى طَرِيقِ بَحْرِ سُوفَ. ٤٠ 40
But as for you, turn you, and take your journey into the wilderness by the way of the Red sea.
«فَأَجَبْتُمْ وَقُلْتُمْ لِي: قَدْ أَخْطَأْنَا إِلَى ٱلرَّبِّ. نَحْنُ نَصْعَدُ وَنُحَارِبُ حَسَبَ كُلِّ مَا أَمَرَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُنَا. وَتَنَطَّقْتُمْ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ بِعُدَّةِ حَرْبِهِ، وَٱسْتَخْفَفْتُمُ ٱلصُّعُوْدَ إِلَى ٱلْجَبَلِ. ٤١ 41
Then all of you answered and said unto me, We have sinned against the LORD, we will go up and fight, according to all that the LORD our God commanded us. And when all of you had girded on every man his weapons of war, all of you were ready to go up into the hill.
فَقَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ لِي: قُلْ لَهُمْ: لَا تَصْعَدُوا وَلَا تُحَارِبُوا، لِأَنِّي لَسْتُ فِي وَسَطِكُمْ لِئَلَّا تَنْكَسِرُوا أَمَامَ أَعْدَائِكُمْ. ٤٢ 42
And the LORD said unto me, Say unto them. Go not up, neither fight; for I am not among you; lest all of you be smitten before your enemies.
فَكَلَّمْتُكُمْ وَلَمْ تَسْمَعُوا بَلْ عَصَيْتُمْ قَوْلَ ٱلرَّبِّ وَطَغَيْتُمْ، وَصَعِدْتُمْ إِلَى ٱلْجَبَلِ. ٤٣ 43
So I spoke unto you; and all of you would not hear, but rebelled against the commandment of the LORD, and went presumptuously up into the hill.
فَخَرَجَ ٱلْأَمُورِيُّونَ ٱلسَّاكِنُونَ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْجَبَلِ لِلِقَائِكُمْ وَطَرَدُوكُمْ كَمَا يَفْعَلُ ٱلنَّحْلُ، وَكَسَرُوكُمْ فِي سِعِيرَ إِلَى حُرْمَةَ. ٤٤ 44
And the Amorites, which dwelt in that mountain, came out against you, and chased you, as bees do, and destroyed you in Seir, even unto Hormah.
فَرَجَعْتُمْ وَبَكَيْتُمْ أَمَامَ ٱلرَّبِّ، وَلَمْ يَسْمَعِ ٱلرَّبُّ لِصَوْتِكُمْ وَلَا أَصْغَى إِلَيْكُمْ. ٤٥ 45
And all of you returned and wept before the LORD; but the LORD would not hearken to your voice, nor give ear unto you.
وَقَعَدْتُمْ فِي قَادَشَ أَيَّامًا كَثِيرَةً كَٱلْأَيَّامِ ٱلَّتِي قَعَدْتُمْ فِيهَا. ٤٦ 46
So all of you abode in Kadesh many days, according unto the days that all of you abode there.
