1 A ll the commandments which I command you this day you shall be watchful to do, that you may live and multiply and go in and possess the land which the Lord swore to give to your fathers.

«فاحْرِصُوا عَلَى إطاعَةِ كُلِّ الوَصايا الَّتِي أُوصِيكُمْ بِها اليَومَ، لِتَحيُوا وَتَزدادُوا وَتَدخُلُوا وَتَمتَلِكُوا الأرْضَ الَّتِي أقسَمَ اللهُ بِأنْ أُعْطِيَها لآبائِكُمْ.

2 A nd you shall remember all the way which the Lord your God led you these forty years in the wilderness, to humble you and to prove you, to know what was in your heart, whether you would keep His commandments or not.

وَتَذَكَّرُوا كَيفَ قادَكُمْ إلَهُكُمْ فِي كُلِّ الرِّحلَةِ طِيلَةَ الأربَعِينَ سَنَةً الماضِيَةَ فِي الصَّحراءِ لِيَضغَطَ عَلَيكُمْ وَيَمتَحِنَكُمْ، فَيَعْرِفَ ما فِي قُلُوبِكُمْ إنْ كُنتُمْ تَحفَظُونَ وَصاياهُ أمْ لا.

3 A nd He humbled you and allowed you to hunger and fed you with manna, which you did not know nor did your fathers know, that He might make you recognize and personally know that man does not live by bread only, but man lives by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of the Lord.

فَأدْخَلَكُمْ فِي ضِيقٍ وَأجاعَكُمْ، ثُمَّ أطعَمَكُمُ المَنَّ الَّذِي لَمْ تَكُونُوا تَعرِفُونَهُ لا أنتُمْ وَلا آباؤكُمْ. لَعَلَّكُمْ تَفْهَمُونَ أنَّ الإنسانَ لا يَعِيشُ عَلَى الخُبزِ وَحْدَهُ، بَلْ بِكُلِّ كَلِمَةٍ تَخْرُجُ مِنْ فَمِ اللهِ.

4 Y our clothing did not become old upon you nor did your feet swell these forty years.

ثِيابُكُمُ الَّتِي تَرتَدُونَها لَمْ تَهْتَرئْ، وَأرجُلُكُمْ لَمْ تَتَوَرَّمْ طِيلَةَ هَذِهِ الأربَعِينَ سَنَةً.

5 K now also in your hearts that, as a man disciplines and instructs his son, so the Lord your God disciplines and instructs you.

فَلْتُدْرِكْ قُلُوبُكُمْ أنَّ إلهَكُمْ يُؤَدِّبُكُمْ كَما يؤدِّبُ الأبُ ابْنَهُ.

6 S o you shall keep the commandments of the Lord your God, to walk in His ways and fear Him.

«فَأطِيعُوا وَصايا إلَهِكُمْ باتِّباعِهِ وَإكْرامِهِ وَمَهابَتِهِ.

7 F or the Lord your God is bringing you into a good land, a land of brooks of water, of fountains and springs, flowing forth in valleys and hills;

لِأنَّ إلَهَكُمْ سَيُحضِرُكُمْ إلَى أرْضٍ طَيِّبَةٍ، فِيها جَداوِلٌ وَيَنابِيعٌ وَعُيُونُ ماءٍ تَتَدَفَّقُ فِي الأودِيَةِ وَفِي التِّلالِ.

8 A land of wheat and barley, and vines and fig trees and pomegranates, a land of olive trees and honey;

إلَى أرْضِ قَمْحٍ وَشَعِيرٍ وَكُرُومِ عِنَبٍ وَأشجارِ تِينٍ وَرُمّانٍ وَزَيتُونٍ وَعَسَلٍ.

9 A land in which you shall eat food without shortage and lack nothing in it; a land whose stones are iron and out of whose hills you can dig copper.

إلَى أرْضٍ لا يَقِلُّ فِيها طَعَامُكُمْ، وَلا يَنْقُصُكُمْ شَيءٌ. أرْضٍ صُخُورُها مِنْ حَدِيدٍ، وَمِنْ تِلالِها تَستَخرِجُونَ نُحُاساً.

10 W hen you have eaten and are full, then you shall bless the Lord your God for all the good land which He has given you.

فَتَأْكُلُونَ وَتَشبَعُونَ وَتَحْمَدُونَ إلَهَكُمْ بِسَبَبِ الأرْضِ الَّتِي أعْطاها لَكُمْ. لا تَنسَوْا إلَهَكُم

11 B eware that you do not forget the Lord your God by not keeping His commandments, His precepts, and His statutes which I command you today,

«فاحرِصُوا عَلَى أنْ لا تَنسَوا إلَهَكُمْ ، بِأنْ تَتَراجَعُوا عَنْ حِفظِ وَصاياهُ وَشَرائِعِهِ وَفَرائِضِهِ الَّتِي أُوصِيكُمُ اليَومَ بِها.

12 L est when you have eaten and are full, and have built goodly houses and live in them,

وَحِينَ تَأْكُلُونَ وَتَشبَعُونَ وَتَبنُونَ بُيُوتاً جَمِيلَةً لِتَسكُنُوا فِيها،

13 A nd when your herds and flocks multiply and your silver and gold is multiplied and all you have is multiplied,

وَتَزدادُ أبقارُكُمْ وَأغنامُكُمْ، وَتَكثُرُ فِضَّتُكُمْ وَذَهَبُكُمْ، وَيَزدادُ كُلُّ ما هُوَ لَكُمْ.

14 T hen your hearts be lifted up and you forget the Lord your God, Who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage,

حِينَئِذٍ، لا تَتَكَبَّرُوا، فَتَنسَوا إلَهَكُمُ الَّذِي أخرَجَكُمْ مِنْ أرْضِ العُبُودِيَّةِ مِصْرَ،

15 W ho led you through the great and terrible wilderness, with its fiery serpents and scorpions and thirsty ground where there was no water, but Who brought you forth water out of the flinty rock,

وَقادَكُمْ فِي تِلكَ الصَّحْراءِ الكَبَيرَةِ الفَظِيعَةِ المُرعِبَةِ المَلِيئَةِ بِالثَّعابينِ السّامَّةِ وَالعَقارِبِ. فِي الأرْضِ الجافَّةِ الَّتِي تَخلُو مِنَ الماءِ. فَهُوَ الَّذِي أخرَجَ الماءَ مِنَ الصَّخرِ القاسِي لِأجلِكُمْ.

16 W ho fed you in the wilderness with manna, which your fathers did not know, that He might humble you and test you, to do you good in the end.

هُوَ مَنْ أطعَمَكُمُ المَنَّ فِي الصَّحراءِ، الَّذِي لَمْ يَكُنْ آباؤكُمْ يَعرِفُونَهُ. وَذَلِكَ لِيَضغَطَ عَلَيكُمْ وَيَمتَحِنَكُمْ، كَي تَنجَحُوا وَتَزدَهِرُوا فَي النَّهايَةِ.

17 A nd beware lest you say in your heart, My power and the might of my hand have gotten me this wealth.

«وَاحذَرُوا مِنْ أنْ تَقُولُوا: ‹قُوَّتُنا وَقُدرَتُنا جَمَعَتا لَنا هَذِهِ الثَّروَةَ.›

18 B ut you shall remember the Lord your God, for it is He Who gives you power to get wealth, that He may establish His covenant which He swore to your fathers, as it is this day.

وَلَكِنْ تَذَكَّرُوا أنَّ إلَهَكُمْ هُوَ مَنْ يُعطِيكُمُ القُوَّةَ لِلحُصُولِ عَلَى الثَّروَةِ، حِفاظاً عَلَى العَهدِ الَّذِي قَطَعَهُ مَعَ آبائِكُمْ كَما هُوَ فاعِلٌ اليَومَ.

19 A nd if you forget the Lord your God and walk after other gods and serve them and worship them, I testify against you this day that you shall surely perish.

«أمّا إنْ نَسِيتُمْ إلَهَكُمْ ، وَتَبِعتُمْ آلِهِةً أُخْرَى وَعَبَدْتُمُوها وَسَجَدْتُمْ لَها، فَإنِّي أُحَذِّرُكُمُ اليَومَ مِنْ أنَّكُمْ سَتَهلِكُونَ لا مَحالَةَ.

20 L ike the nations which the Lord makes to perish before you, so shall you perish, because you would not obey the voice of the Lord your God.

كَالأُمُمِ الَّتِي سَيُهلِكُها اللهُ أمامَكُمْ عِندَ دُخُولِكُمُ الأرْضَ، هَكَذا أنتُمْ سَتَهلِكُونَ، لِأنَّكُمْ لَمْ تَطِيعُوا إلَهَكُمْ.
