1 H ear, O Israel: Thou art to pass over Jordan this day, to go in to possess nations greater and mightier than thyself, cities great and fenced up to heaven,

«استَمِعُوا يا بَنِي إسْرائِيلَ، سَتَعبُرُونَ اليَومَ نَهرَ الأُردُنِّ لِتَدخُلُوا وَتَطرُدُوا أُمَماً أعظَمَ وَأقوَى مِنكُمْ، لَها مُدُنٌ ذاتُ أسوارٍ مُرتَفِعَةٍ تَصِلُ السَّماءَ،

2 a people great and tall, the children of the Anakims, whom thou knowest, and of whom thou hast heard say, Who can stand before the children of Anak!

يَسكُنُها شَعبٌ عَظِيمٌ وَطَوِيلُ القامَةِ، وَهُمُ العَناقِيُّونَ، الَّذِينَ عَرَفْتُمْ عَنهُمْ وَسَمِعتُمُ الآخَرِينَ يَقُولُونَ: ‹مَنْ يَستَطِيعُ أنْ يُقاوِمَ العَناقِيِّينَ؟›

3 U nderstand therefore this day, that the Lord thy God is he which goeth over before thee; as a consuming fire he shall destroy them, and he shall bring them down before thy face: so shalt thou drive them out, and destroy them quickly, as the Lord hath said unto thee.

فاعلَمُوا اليَومَ أنَّ إلَهَكُمْ هُوَ مَنْ سَيَعبُرُ نَهرَ الأُردُنِّ أمامَكُمْ كَنارٍ مُلتَهِمَةٍ. وَسَيُهلِكُهُمْ وَيَهزِمُهُمْ بَينَما أنتُمْ تَتَقَدَّمُونَ، فَتَطرُدُونَهُمْ وَتُفنُونَهُمْ سَرِيعاً كَما وَعَدَكُمْ اللهُ تَماماً.

4 S peak not thou in thine heart, after that the Lord thy God hath cast them out from before thee, saying, For my righteousness the Lord hath brought me in to possess this land: but for the wickedness of these nations the Lord doth drive them out from before thee.

«وَحِينَ يَطْرُدُهُمْ إلَهُكُمْ مِنْ أمامِكُمْ، لا تَقُولُوا فِي نُفُوسِكُمْ: ‹لِأنَّنا صالِحُون، أدخَلَنا اللهُ لِنَمتَلِكَ هَذِهِ الأرْضَ.› بَلْ سَيَطْرُدُ اللهُ تِلكَ الأُمَمَ مِنْ أمامِكُمْ لِأنَّهُمْ أشرارٌ.

5 N ot for thy righteousness, or for the uprightness of thine heart, dost thou go to possess their land: but for the wickedness of these nations the Lord thy God doth drive them out from before thee, and that he may perform the word which the Lord sware unto thy fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.

وَسَتَدخُلُونَ لامتِلاكِ أرْضِهِمْ، وَلَكِنْ لَيسَ بِفَضلِ بِرِّكُمْ وَاسْتِقامَةِ قُلُوبِكُمْ، إنَّما سَيَطرُدُهُمْ إلهُكُمْ مِنْ أمامِكُمْ بِسَبَبِ شَرِّهِمْ، حِفاظاً عَلَى الوَعدِ الَّذِي أقسَمَ اللهُ بِهِ لآبائِكُمْ إبراهِيمَ وَإسْحاقَ وَيَعقُوبَ.

6 U nderstand therefore, that the Lord thy God giveth thee not this good land to possess it for thy righteousness; for thou art a stiffnecked people.

فاعلَمُوا أنَّ إلهَكُمْ لَنْ يُعْطِيَكُمُ الأرْضَ لِتَمتَلِكُوها بِفَضلِ بِرِّكُمْ، فَأنْتُمْ شَعبٌ عَنِيدٌ وَمُتَمَرِّدٌ. تَذكيرٌ بغَضَبِ الله

7 R emember, and forget not, how thou provokedst the Lord thy God to wrath in the wilderness: from the day that thou didst depart out of the land of Egypt, until ye came unto this place, ye have been rebellious against the Lord.

«اذكُرُوا وَلا تَنسَوا أنَّكُمْ أغضَبتُمْ إلهِكُمْ فِي الصَّحْراءِ، فَقَد رَفَضتُمْ أنْ تُطِيعُوهُ وَتَمَرَّدْتُمْ عَلَى اللهِ مِنْ يَومِ مُغادَرَتِكُمْ لِأرضِ مِصْرَ إلَى أنْ أتَيتُمْ لِهَذا المَكانِ.

8 A lso in Horeb ye provoked the Lord to wrath, so that the Lord was angry with you to have destroyed you.

أثَرْتُمْ غَضَبَ اللهِ فِي جَبَلِ حُورِيبَ. حَتَّى أوْشَكَ اللهُ فِيْ غَضَبِهِ الشَّدِيدِ أنْ يُفنِيَكُمْ.

9 W hen I was gone up into the mount to receive the tables of stone, even the tables of the covenant which the Lord made with you, then I abode in the mount forty days and forty nights, I neither did eat bread nor drink water:

فَحِينَ صَعِدتُ إلَى الجَبَلِ لِأخذِ لَوحَي حَجَرِ العَهدِ الَّذِي قَطَعَهُ اللهُ مَعكُمْ، بَقِيتُ عَلَى الجَبَلِ مُدَّةَ أربَعِينَ يَوماً وَأربَعِينَ لَيلَةً، لَمْ آكُلْ فِيها خُبزاً وَلَمْ أشرَبْ ماءً.

10 a nd the Lord delivered unto me two tables of stone written with the finger of God; and on them was written according to all the words, which the Lord spake with you in the mount out of the midst of the fire in the day of the assembly.

وَأعطانِي اللهُ الَّلوحَينِ الحَجَرِيَّينِ اللّذَينِ نُقِشا بَإصبَعِ اللهِ ، وَعَلَيهِما جَمِيعُ الكَلِماتِ الَّتِي تكَلَّمَ بِها اللهُ لَكُمْ مِنْ وَسَطِ النّارِ، يَومَ اجتَمَعتُمْ هُناكَ.

11 A nd it came to pass at the end of forty days and forty nights, that the Lord gave me the two tables of stone, even the tables of the covenant.

«وَفِي نِهايَةِ الأربَعِينَ يَوماً وَالأربَعِينَ لَيلَةً، أعطانِي اللهُ لَوحَي حَجَرِ العَهدِ،

12 A nd the Lord said unto me, Arise, get thee down quickly from hence; for thy people which thou hast brought forth out of Egypt have corrupted themselves; they are quickly turned aside out of the way which I commanded them; they have made them a molten image.

ثُمَّ قالَ لِي اللهُ: ‹قُمْ وَانْزِلْ مِنْ هُنا بِسُرعَةٍ لِأنَّ شَعبَكَ الَّذِي أخرَجتُهُ مِنْ مِصْرَ قَدْ أفسَدُوا أنفُسَهُمْ، فَقَدِ ابْتَعَدُوا سَرِيعاً عَنْ وَصايايَ، فَصَنَعُوا لِأنفُسِهِمْ صَنَماً.›

13 F urthermore the Lord spake unto me, saying, I have seen this people, and, behold, it is a stiffnecked people:

ثُمَّ قالَ اللهُ لِي: ‹قَدْ راقَبتُ هَذا الشَّعبَ، فَوَجَدتُ أنَّهُ شَعبٌ عَنِيدٌ.

14 l et me alone, that I may destroy them, and blot out their name from under heaven: and I will make of thee a nation mightier and greater than they.

دَعْني الآنَ فَأقْضيَ عَلَيهِمْ، فَلا يَعُودُ أحَدٌ يَتَذَكَّرُهُمْ. وَأجعَلُكَ أُمَّةً أقوَى وَأكثَرَ عَدَداً مِنهُمْ.›» العِجلُ الذَّهَبِيّ

15 S o I turned and came down from the mount, and the mount burned with fire: and the two tables of the covenant were in my two hands.

«حِينَئِذٍ، نَزَلتُ مِنَ الجَبَلِ، وَقَدْ كانَ مُشتَعِلاً بِالنّارِ، وَكانَ لَوحا العَهدِ فِي يَدَيَّ.

16 A nd I looked, and, behold, ye had sinned against the Lord your God, and had made you a molten calf: ye had turned aside quickly out of the way which the Lord had commanded you.

وَنَظَرتُ وَإذا بِكُمْ قَدْ أخطَأْتُمْ إلَى إلَهِكُمْ ، وَسَبَكْتُمْ لِأنفُسِكُمْ صَنَماً عَلَى شَكلِ عِجلٍ، وَابتَعَدتُمْ سَرِيعاً عَمّا أوصاكُمْ بِهِ اللهُ.

17 A nd I took the two tables, and cast them out of my two hands, and brake them before your eyes.

فَأمسَكْتُ بِاللَّوحَينِ وَرَمَيتُهُما مِنْ يَدَيَّ، وَحَطَّمتُهُما أمامَ أعيُنِكُمْ.

18 A nd I fell down before the Lord, as at the first, forty days and forty nights: I did neither eat bread, nor drink water, because of all your sins which ye sinned, in doing wickedly in the sight of the Lord, to provoke him to anger.

ثُمَّ عُدُّتُ وَانْبَطَحْتُ ثانِيَةً وَوَجهِي إلَى الأرْضِ فِي حَضرَةِ اللهِ لِأربَعِينَ يَوماً وَأربَعِينَ لَيلَةً، لَمْ آكُلْ فِيها خُبزاً وَلَمْ أشرَبْ ماءً، بِسَبَبِ الخَطِيَّةِ الَّتِي ارتَكَبتُمُوها بِعِبادَةِ آلِهَةٍ أُخْرَى أمامَ عَينَي اللهِ ، فَأغضَبتُمُوهُ.

19 F or I was afraid of the anger and hot displeasure, wherewith the Lord was wroth against you to destroy you. But the Lord hearkened unto me at that time also.

كُنتُ خائِفاً مِنْ غَضَبِ اللهِ وَسَخَطِهِ، إذْ كانَ غاضِباً جِدّاً عَلَيكُمْ حَتَّى أوشَكَ أنْ يُهلِكَكُمْ، لَكِنَّ اللهَ أصغَى إلَيَّ فِي تِلكَ المَرَّةِ أيضاً.

20 A nd the Lord was very angry with Aaron to have destroyed him: and I prayed for Aaron also the same time.

كَما غَضِبَ اللهُ عَلَى هَرُونَ بِما يَكفِي لِيُهلِكَهُ، فَصَلَّيتُ مِنْ أجلِهِ فِي ذَلِكَ اليَومِ.

21 A nd I took your sin, the calf which ye had made, and burnt it with fire, and stamped it, and ground it very small, even until it was as small as dust: and I cast the dust thereof into the brook that descended out of the mount.

«ثُمَّ أخَذْتُ العِجلَ النَّجِسَ الَّذِي صَنَعتُمُوهُ، وَأحرَقْتُهُ بِالنّارِ، وَحَطَّمتُهُ وَطَحَنتُهُ حَتَّى صارَ ناعِماً كَالغُبارِ، ثُمَّ ألقَيتُ بِغُبارِهِ فِي الجَدوَلِ المُنحَدِرِ مِنَ الجَبَلِ.

22 A nd at Taberah, and at Massah, and at Kibroth-hattaavah, ye provoked the Lord to wrath.

وَأيضاً فِي تَبعِيرَةَ وَمَسَّةَ وَقَبْرُوتَ هَتَّأوَةَ أغضَبتُمُ اللهَ.

23 L ikewise when the Lord sent you from Kadesh-barnea, saying, Go up and possess the land which I have given you; then ye rebelled against the commandment of the Lord your God, and ye believed him not, nor hearkened to his voice.

وَعِندَما أرسَلَكُمْ اللهُ مِنْ قادَشَ بَرْنِيعَ وَقالَ لَكُمْ: ‹اذْهَبُوا وَامتَلِكُوا الأرْضَ الَّتِي أعطَيتُها لَكُمْ.› عَصَيتُمْ أمرَ إلَهِكُمْ ، وَلَمْ تَثِقُوا بِهِ وَلَمْ تُطِيعُوهُ.

24 Y e have been rebellious against the Lord from the day that I knew you.

فَأنتُمْ تَرفُضُونَ إطاعَةَ اللهِ وَتَتَمَرَّدُونَ عَلَيْهِ مُنذُ عَرَفْتُكُمْ.

25 T hus I fell down before the Lord forty days and forty nights, as I fell down at the first; because the Lord had said he would destroy you.

«فَانْبَطَحْتُ وَوَجهِي إلَى الأرْضِ فِي حَضرَةِ اللهِ أربَعِينَ يَوماً وَأربَعِينَ لَيلَةً، لِأنَّ اللهَ أعلَنَ أنَّهُ سَيُهلِكُكُمْ.

26 I prayed therefore unto the Lord, and said, O Lord God, destroy not thy people and thine inheritance, which thou hast redeemed through thy greatness, which thou hast brought forth out of Egypt with a mighty hand.

وَصَلَّيتُ إلَى اللهِ وَقُلْتُ: يا اللهُ ، لا تُهلِكْ شَعبَكَ الَّذِي هُوَ لَكَ، وَقَدْ فَدَيتَهُ بِقُوَّتِكَ العَظِيمَةِ، وَأخرَجتَهُ مِنْ مِصْرَ بِيَدِكَ الجَبَّارَةِ.

27 R emember thy servants, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; look not unto the stubbornness of this people, nor to their wickedness, nor to their sin:

اذكُرْ خُدّامَكَ إبراهِيمَ وَإسْحاقَ وَيَعقُوبَ. وَتَغاضَ عَنْ عِنادِ الشَّعبِ وَشَرِّهِ وَخَطِيَّتِهِ،

28 l est the land whence thou broughtest us out say, Because the Lord was not able to bring them into the land which he promised them, and because he hated them, he hath brought them out to slay them in the wilderness.

لِكَيْ لا يَقُولَ المِصْرِيُّونَ: ‹لِأنَّ يهوه لَمْ يَستَطِعْ إحضارَهُمْ إلَى الأرْضِ الَّتِي وَعَدَهُمْ بِها، وَلأنَّهُ يَكْرَهُهُمْ، أخرَجَهُمْ لِيَقتُلَهُمْ فِي الصَّحراءِ.›

29 Y et they are thy people and thine inheritance, which thou broughtest out by thy mighty power and by thy stretched out arm.

إنَّهُمْ شَعبُكَ وَمُلكُكَ الَّذِي أخرَجْتَهُ بِقُوَّتِكَ وَقُدرَتِكَ العَظِيمَتَينِ.»
