< Deuteronomy 1 >

1 In this book is written what Moses/I said to the Israeli people. He/I told them these things when they/we were in the desert, on the east side of the Jordan [River]. They/We had set up our tents near [a place named] Suph, between Paran [town on the one side of the river] and Tophel, Laban, Hazeroth, and Dizahab [towns on the other side of the river].
اردن، در بیابان عربه مقابل سوف، در میان فاران و توفل و لابان و حضیروت و دی ذهب باتمامی اسرائیل گفت.۱
2 To walk from Sinai [Mountain] to the Kadesh-Barnea [oasis], people usually travel for only eleven days, going by way of the hilly area named Edom.
از حوریب به راه جبل سعیر تا قادش برنیع، سفر یازده روزه است.۲
3 Forty years after (the Israelis/we) left Egypt, in the middle of January, Moses/I told the Israeli people everything that Yahweh had commanded him/me to tell them.
پس در روز اول ماه یازدهم سال چهلم، موسی بنی‌اسرائیل را برحسب هرآنچه خداوند او رابرای ایشان امر فرموده بود تکلم نمود،۳
4 This was after they/we had defeated Sihon, the king of the Amor people-group, who lived in Heshbon [city], and Og, the king of the Bashan [region] who lived in Ashtaroth and Edrei [towns].
بعد ازآنکه سیحون ملک اموریان را که در حشبون ساکن بود و عوج ملک باشان را که در عشتاروت درادرعی ساکن بود، کشته بود.۴
5 Moses/I told them these things while the people were in the Moab region, on the east side of the Jordan [River]. He/I (explained to them/enabled them to understand) God’s laws. This is what he/I said to them:
به آن طرف اردن درزمین موآب، موسی به بیان کردن این شریعت شروع کرده، گفت: دستور ترک حوریب۵
6 “Yahweh our God said to us when we were at Sinai [Mountain], ‘You have stayed for a very long time at [the bottom of] this mountain.
یهوه خدای ما، ما را در حوریب خطاب کرده، گفت: «توقف شما در این کوه بس شده است.۶
7 So now continue traveling. Go to the hilly area where the Amor people-group lives and to the nearby areas—to the Jordan [River] Valley, to the hilly region, to the western (foothills/hills at the bottom of the mountains), to the desert area to the south, to the [Mediterranean] Seacoast, to all of Canaan land, to the Lebanon [Mountains], and [northeast] to the great Euphrates River.
پس توجه نموده، کوچ کنید و به کوهستان اموریان، و جمیع حوالی آن از عربه و کوهستان وهامون و جنوب و کناره دریا، یعنی زمین کنعانیان و لبنان تا نهر بزرگ که نهر فرات باشد، داخل شوید.۷
8 Note that I will give that land to you. I, Yahweh, promised to your ancestors Abraham and Isaac and Jacob that I would give it to them and to their descendants. So now go and occupy it.’”
اینک زمین را پیش روی شما گذاشتم. پس داخل شده، زمینی را که خداوند برای پدران شما، ابراهیم و اسحاق و یعقوب، قسم خورد که به ایشان و بعد از آنها به ذریت ایشان بدهد، به تصرف آورید.»۸
9 Moses/I also said to the people, “When [we were still at Sinai Mountain], I told your ancestors ‘It is a very big burden/responsibility for me to govern all of you. So I cannot do it by myself.
و در آن وقت به شما متکلم شده، گفتم: «من به تنهایی نمی توانم متحمل شما باشم.۹
10 Yahweh our God has caused us Israelis to now become as numerous as the stars in the sky.
یهوه خدای شما، شما را افزوده است و اینک شماامروز مثل ستارگان آسمان کثیر هستید.۱۰
11 And I hope/desire that Yahweh, the God whom our ancestors [worshiped], will cause us to become 1,000 times as numerous as we are now and that he will bless us just like he promised to do.
یهوه خدای پدران شما، شما را هزار چندان‌که هستیدبیفزاید و شما را برحسب آنچه به شما گفته است، برکت دهد.۱۱
12 But I certainly cannot [RHQ] (solve/deal with) all of your complaints/problems.
لیکن من چگونه به تنهایی متحمل محنت و بار و منازعت شما بشوم.۱۲
13 So choose some men from your tribes who are wise and who have good sense and who are respected. Then I will appoint them to be your leaders.’
پس مردان حکیم و عاقل و معروف از اسباط خود بیاورید، تاایشان را بر شما روسا سازم.»۱۳
14 Your ancestors replied, ‘What you have suggested is good for us to do.’
و شما در جواب من گفتید: «سخنی که گفتی نیکو است که بکنیم.»۱۴
15 So I took the wise and respected men [that your ancestors chose] from your tribes, and I appointed them to be your leaders. I appointed some to (rule/have authority) over 1,000 people, some to have authority over 100 people, some to have authority over 50 people, and some to have authority over ten people. I also appointed other officers from throughout your tribes.
پس روسای اسباط شما را که مردان حکیم ومعروف بودند گرفته، ایشان را بر شما روساساختم، تا سروران هزاره‌ها و سروران صدها وسروران پنجاهها و سروران دهها و ناظران اسباطشما باشند.۱۵
16 I instructed/told your leaders, ‘Listen to the disputes that occur among your people. Judge each dispute, including disputes between close relatives and quarrels between your people and people from other countries who live among you.
و در آنوقت داوران شما را امرکرده، گفتم: دعوای برادران خود را بشنوید، و درمیان هرکس و برادرش و غریبی که نزد وی باشدبه انصاف داوری نمایید.۱۶
17 You must (be impartial/not favor one person more than another); you must treat poor people and important people equally. You must not worry about what anyone will think [about how you decide matters], because you will decide matters as God [wants you to]. If any quarrel/dispute is very difficult and you are unable to decide it, bring it to me, and I will decide.’
و در داوری طرف داری مکنید، کوچک را مثل بزرگ بشنویدو از روی انسان مترسید، زیرا که داوری از آن خداست، و هر دعوایی که برای شما مشکل است، نزد من بیاورید تا آن را بشنوم.۱۷
18 At that time I also told you other things that you should do.”
و آن وقت همه‌چیزهایی را که باید بکنید، برای شما امر فرمودم.۱۸
19 “Then, just like Yahweh our God commanded us, we left Sinai [Mountain] and went through that huge desert that was very (dangerous/difficult to travel through), on the road to the hilly area where the Amor people-group live. We arrived at Kadesh-Barnea.
پس از حوریب کوچ کرده، از تمامی این بیابان بزرگ و ترسناک که شما دیدید به راه کوهستان اموریان رفتیم، چنانکه یهوه خدای ما به ما امر فرمود و به قادش برنیع رسیدیم.۱۹
20 I said to your ancestors, ‘We have now come to the hilly area where the Amor people-group live. This is part of the area that Yahweh our God, the one whom our ancestors [worshiped], is giving to us.
و به شما گفتم: «به کوهستان اموریانی که یهوه خدای ما به ما می‌دهد، رسیده‌اید.۲۰
21 Note that Yahweh our God is giving this land to us. So go and occupy it as he commanded. Do not be (at all/even a little bit) afraid.’
اینک یهوه خدای تو، این زمین را پیش روی تو گذاشته است، پس برآی و چنانکه یهوه خدای پدرانت به تو گفته است، آن را به تصرف آور و ترسان و هراسان مباش.»۲۱
22 But all of your ancestors came to me and said, ‘Before we go, we should [first] send some men there to explore the land, in order that they can return and tell us which will be the best road to go there and what kind of towns are there.’
آنگاه جمیع شما نزد من آمده، گفتید: «مردان چند، پیش روی خود بفرستیم تا زمین رابرای ما جاسوسی نمایند، و ما را از راهی که بایدبرویم و از شهرهایی که به آنها می‌رویم، خبربیاورند.»۲۲
23 I thought that it would be good to do that, so I chose twelve men, one man from each tribe.
و این سخن مرا پسند آمد، پس دوازده نفر از شما، یعنی یکی را از هر سبطگرفتم،۲۳
24 They went up into the hilly area as far as Eshcol Valley, and they explored all that area.
و ایشان متوجه راه شده، به کوه برآمدند و به وادی اشکول رسیده، آن راجاسوسی نمودند.۲۴
25 They picked some of the fruit that they found there and brought it to us. They reported that the land that Yahweh our God was giving to us is very good/fertile.”
و از میوه زمین به‌دست خود گرفته، آن را نزد ما آوردند، و ما را مخبرساخته، گفتند: «زمینی که یهوه خدای ما، به مامی دهد، نیکوست.»۲۵
26 “But your ancestors refused to go [and conquer that land]. They rebelled against what Yahweh our God had commanded them to do, and they would not go into that land.
لیکن شما نخواستید که بروید، بلکه ازفرمان خداوند عصیان ورزیدید.۲۶
27 Your ancestors [stayed] in their tents and complained saying ‘Yahweh hates us. So he has brought us here from Egypt just to allow the Amor people-group to destroy us.
و درخیمه های خود همهمه کرده، گفتید: «چونکه خداوند ما را دشمن داشت، ما را از زمین مصربیرون آورد، تا ما را به‌دست اموریان تسلیم کرده، هلاک سازد.۲۷
28 (Why should we go there?/We do not want to go there.) [RHQ] The men whom we sent there have caused us to become very discouraged/afraid. They have told us that the people there are much stronger and taller than we are and that there are extremely high [HYP] walls around their towns. Also they reported that they saw [giants there that are] descendants of Anak.’
و حال کجا برویم چونکه برادران ما دل ما را گداخته، گفتند که این قوم از ما بزرگتر وبلندترند و شهرهای ایشان بزرگ و تا آسمان حصاردار است، و نیز بنی عناق را در آنجادیده‌ایم.»۲۸
29 Then I said to your ancestors, ‘Do not be afraid (at all/even a little bit) [DOU] of those people!
پس من به شما گفتم: «مترسید و ازایشان هراسان مباشید.۲۹
30 Yahweh our God will go ahead of you, and he will fight for you, just like you saw him do for you in Egypt
یهوه خدای شما که پیش روی شما می‌رود برای شما جنگ خواهدکرد، برحسب هرآنچه به نظر شما در مصر برای شما کرده است.»۳۰
31 and in the desert. You saw how he brought you safely here, like a man would carry his son. [SIM]’
و هم در بیابان که در آنجادیدید چگونه یهوه خدای تو مثل کسی‌که پسرخود را می‌برد تو را در تمامی راه که می‌رفتیدبرمی داشت تا به اینجا رسیدید.۳۱
32 [I reminded them that] he always went ahead of them while they traveled [in the desert]. He directed them by [a pillar of] fire during the night and a [pillar of] cloud during the day. He showed them places to set up their tents. But in spite of what I said, your ancestors would not trust Yahweh our God.
لیکن با وجوداین، همه شما به یهوه خدای خود ایمان نیاوردید.۳۲
که پیش روی شما در راه می‌رفت تاجایی برای نزول شما بطلبد، وقت شب در آتش تا راهی را که به آن بروید به شما بنماید و وقت روز در ابر.۳۳
34 Yahweh heard what they said, and he became angry. He solemnly declared,
و خداوند آواز سخنان شما را شنیده، غضبناک شد، و قسم خورده، گفت:۳۴
35 ‘Caleb, the son of Jephunneh, will enter the land. He has obeyed me completely. So I will give to him and to his descendants [some of] the land that he explored. He is the only one of all you people who will enter that land. None of these evil people will ever see that good land which I solemnly promised to give to your ancestors.’
«هیچکدام از این مردمان و از این طبقه شریر، آن زمین نیکو راکه قسم خوردم که به پدران شما بدهم، هرگزنخواهند دید.۳۵
سوای کالیب بن یفنه که آن راخواهد دید و زمینی را که در آن رفته بود، به وی وبه پسرانش خواهم داد، چونکه خداوند را پیروی کامل نمود.»۳۶
37 But because of [what] your ancestors [did], Yahweh was also angry with me. He said to me, ‘You also will not enter that land.
و خداوند بخاطر شما برمن نیزخشم نموده، گفت که «تو هم داخل آنجا نخواهی شد.۳۷
38 Joshua, the son of Nun, who is your helper, will enter it. Encourage him, because he is the one who will enable you Israeli people to occupy that land.’
یوشع بن نون که بحضور تو می‌ایستدداخل آنجا خواهد شد، پس او را قوی گردان زیرا اوست که آن را برای بنی‌اسرائیل تقسیم خواهد نمود.۳۸
39 Then Yahweh said to all of us, ‘You said that your children would be captured by your enemies. Because they are very young, they do not yet know what is good and what is evil. But they are the ones to whom I will give that land, and they will enter it and occupy it.
و اطفال شما که درباره آنها گفتید که به یغما خواهند رفت، و پسران شماکه امروز نیک و بد را تمیز نمی دهند، داخل آنجاخواهند شد، و آن را به ایشان خواهم داد تا مالک آن بشوند.۳۹
40 But as for you, turn around and go back into the desert, toward the (Red Sea/Gulf of Aqaba).’
و اما شما روگردانیده از راه بحرقلزم به بیابان کوچ کنید.»۴۰
41 Then your ancestors replied, ‘We have sinned; we have disobeyed Yahweh. So we will go and attack [the people who live in] that land, just like Yahweh our God commanded us to do.’ And each of their men put on his weapons, and they thought that it would be easy to invade the hilly region.
و شما در جواب من گفتید که «به خداوندگناه ورزیده‌ایم، پس رفته، جنگ خواهیم کرد، موافق هرآنچه یهوه خدای ما به ما امر فرموده است، و همه شما اسلحه جنگ خود را بسته، عزیمت کردید که به کوه برآیید.۴۱
42 But Yahweh said to me, ‘Tell them, “Do not go up there and attack those people, because I will not go with you. If you go, your enemies will defeat you.”’
آنگاه خداوندبه من گفت: «به ایشان بگو که نروند و جنگ منمایند زیرا که من در میان شما نیستم، مبادا ازحضور دشمنان خود مغلوب شوید.»۴۲
43 So I told that to your ancestors, but they would not heed what I said. They [again] rebelled against what Yahweh commanded them to do. Their soldiers proudly/arrogantly marched up into that hilly region.
پس به شما گفتم، لیکن نشنیدید، بلکه از فرمان خداوندعصیان ورزیدید، و مغرور شده، به فراز کوه برآمدید.۴۳
44 Then the men of the Amor people-group who lived in that region came out [of their towns] and attacked those soldiers. They pursued your ancestors’ soldiers like [a swarm of] bees pursues people, and they pursued them [south] from the Edom area and defeated them at Hormah [city].
و اموریانی که در آن کوه ساکن بودندبه مقابله شما بیرون آمده، شما را تعاقب نمودند، بطوری که زنبورها می‌کنند و شما را از سعیر تاحرما شکست دادند.۴۴
45 So your ancestors went back [to Kadesh-Barnea] and cried out to request Yahweh [to help them], but he did not heed them. He did not pay any attention to them [DOU].
پس برگشته، به حضورخداوند گریه نمودید، اما خداوند آواز شما رانشنید و به شما گوش نداد.۴۵
46 So we stayed there at Kadesh-Barnea for a long time.”
و در قادش برحسب ایام توقف خود، روزهای بسیار ماندید.۴۶
