1 A nd it shall be, when thou art come in unto the land which Jehovah thy God giveth thee for an inheritance, and possessest it, and dwellest therein,

«حِينَ تَدخُلُونَ الأرْضَ الَّتِي يُعطِيها إلَهُكُمْ لَكُمْ وَتَمتَلِكُونَها وَتَستَقِرُّونَ فِيها،

2 t hat thou shalt take of the first of all the fruit of the ground, which thou shalt bring in from thy land that Jehovah thy God giveth thee; and thou shalt put it in a basket, and shalt go unto the place which Jehovah thy God shall choose, to cause his name to dwell there.

خُذُوا مِنْ أوَّلِ جَمِيعِ ثِمارِ الأرْضِ وَمَحْصُولِها الَّذِي تَجْنُونَهُ. ضَعُوهُ فِي سَلَّةٍ وَاذْهَبُوا إلَى المَكانِ الَّذِي سَيَختارُهُ إلَهُكُمْ لِيُسكِنَ اسْمَهُ فِيهِ.

3 A nd thou shalt come unto the priest that shall be in those days, and say unto him, I profess this day unto Jehovah thy God, that I am come unto the land which Jehovah sware unto our fathers to give us.

فَيَذْهَبُ صاحِبُ التَّقدِمَةِ إلَى الكاهِنِ الَّذِي يَخدِمُ فِي ذَلِكَ اليَومِ، وَيَقُولُ لَهُ: ‹أُعلِنُ اليَومَ لإلَهِكَ بِأنَّنِي دَخَلْتُ الأرْضَ الَّتِي أقسَمَ اللهُ لِآبائِنا بِإعطائِها لَنا.›

4 A nd the priest shall take the basket out of thy hand, and set it down before the altar of Jehovah thy God.

«فَيَأخُذُ الكاهِنُ السَّلَّةَ مِنْ يَدِهِ وَيَضَعُها أمامَ مَذبَحِ إلَهِكُمْ.

5 A nd thou shalt answer and say before Jehovah thy God, A Syrian ready to perish was my father; and he went down into Egypt, and sojourned there, few in number; and he became there a nation, great, mighty, and populous.

ثُمَّ يَقُولُ فِي حَضْرَةِ إلَهِكُمْ: ‹كانَ أبِي أرامِيّا مُتَجَوِّلاً. وَنَزَلَ إلَى مِصْرَ، وَعاشَ هُناكَ غَرِيباً مَعَ عَدَدٍ قَلِيلٍ مِنَ النّاسِ. لَكِنَّهُ صارَ هُناكَ أُمَّةً عَظِيمَةً وَقَوِيَّةً وَكَثِيرَةً.

6 A nd the Egyptians dealt ill with us, and afflicted us, and laid upon us hard bondage:

وَعامَلَنا المِصرِيُّونَ بِقَسوَةٍ، وَجَعَلُونا نُعانِي وَنَعمَلُ أعمالاً قاسِيَةً.

7 a nd we cried unto Jehovah, the God of our fathers, and Jehovah heard our voice, and saw our affliction, and our toil, and our oppression;

فَصَرَخْنا إلَى اللهِ ، إلَهِ آبائِنا، فَسَمِعَ اللهُ صَوتَنا، وَرَأى مُعاناتَنا وَضِيقَنا وَبُؤْسَنا.

8 a nd Jehovah brought us forth out of Egypt with a mighty hand, and with an outstretched arm, and with great terribleness, and with signs, and with wonders;

ثُمَّ أخرَجَنا اللهُ مِنْ مِصْرَ بِيَدِهِ الجَبّارَةِ وَذِراعهِ المَمْدُدَةِ، بِقُدرَتِهِ وَأعمالِهِ الرَّهِيبَةِ وَآياتِهِ وَعَجائِبِهِ.

9 a nd he hath brought us into this place, and hath given us this land, a land flowing with milk and honey.

وَأحضَرَنا إلَى هَذا المَكانِ، وَأعطانا هَذِهِ الأرْضَ الَّتِي تَفيْضُ لَبَناً وَعَسَلاً.

10 A nd now, behold, I have brought the first of the fruit of the ground, which thou, O Jehovah, hast given me. And thou shalt set it down before Jehovah thy God, and worship before Jehovah thy God:

وَها أنا الآنَ أُحضِرُ أوَّلَ ثِمارِ الأرْضِ الَّتِي أعطَيتَها لَنا يا اللهُ.› فَيَنبَغِي أنْ يَترُكَ السَّلَّةَ فِي حَضْرَةِ إلَهِكُمْ. وَيَنحَنِي أمامَ إلَهِكُمْ.

11 a nd thou shalt rejoice in all the good which Jehovah thy God hath given unto thee, and unto thy house, thou, and the Levite, and the sojourner that is in the midst of thee.

ثُمَّ يَحْتَفِلَ مَعَ الَّلاوِيِّينَ وَالغُرَباءِ الَّذِينَ فِي وَسَطِ الشَّعبِ بِكُلِّ الخَيراتِ الَّتِي أعْطاها إلَهُكُمْ لَهُ وَلِعائِلَتِهِ.

12 W hen thou hast made an end of tithing all the tithe of thine increase in the third year, which is the year of tithing, then thou shalt give it unto the Levite, to the sojourner, to the fatherless, and to the widow, that they may eat within thy gates, and be filled.

«وَحِينَ تَنتَهِي مِنْ فَرزِ عُشُورِ مَحاصِيلِكَ فِي السَّنَةِ الثّالِثَةِ، وَأعطَيتَها لِلّاوِيِّينَ وَالغُرَباءِ وَاليَتامَى وَالأرامِلِ، لِيَكُونَ لَهُمْ طَعامٌ وَفيرٌ فِي كُلِّ مُدُنِكَ.

13 A nd thou shalt say before Jehovah thy God, I have put away the hallowed things out of my house, and also have given them unto the Levite, and unto the sojourner, to the fatherless, and to the widow, according to all thy commandment which thou hast commanded me: I have not transgressed any of thy commandments, neither have I forgotten them:

فَتَقُولُ فِي حَضْرَةِ إلَهِكَ: ‹أخرَجْتُ مِنْ بَيتِي الجُزْءَ المُقَدَّسَ مِنَ الحَصادِ، وَأعطَيتُهُ لِلّاوِيِّينَ وَالغُرَباءِ وَاليَتامَى وَالأرامِلِ كَما أوصَيتَنِي أنْ أفعَلَ، لَمْ أعْصِ وَلَمْ أنسَ واحِدَةً مِنْ وَصاياكَ.

14 I have not eaten thereof in my mourning, neither have I put away thereof, being unclean, nor given thereof for the dead: I have hearkened to the voice of Jehovah my God; I have done according to all that thou hast commanded me.

لَمْ آكُلْ مِنْهُ فِي وَقتِ النَّوحِ. وَلا أخَذْتُ مِنْهُ وَأنا نَجِسٌ. لَمْ أُقَدِّمْ مِنْهُ طَعاماً لِمَيِّتٍ، بَلْ أطَعْتُ إلَهٍي وَعَمِلتُ جَمِيعَ ما أوصَيتَنِي بَهِ.

15 L ook down from thy holy habitation, from heaven, and bless thy people Israel, and the ground which thou hast given us, as thou swarest unto our fathers, a land flowing with milk and honey.

انْظُرْ مِنْ مَسكَنِكَ المُقَدَّسِ، مِنَ السَّماءِ، وَبارِكْ شَعبَكَ إسْرائِيلَ، وَالأرْضَ الَّتِي تَفيضُ لَبَناً وَعَسَلاً الَّتِي أعطَيتَها لَنا كَما أقسَمتَ لآبائِنا.› طاعَةُ وَصايا الله

16 T his day Jehovah thy God commandeth thee to do these statutes and ordinances: thou shalt therefore keep and do them with all thy heart, and with all thy soul.

«يَأْمُرُكُمْ إلَهُكُمْ اليَومَ بِأنْ تَحفَظُوا هَذِهِ الشَّرائِعَ وَالفَرائِضَ، وَأنْ تُطِيعُوها بِحِرصٍ بِكُلِّ قُلُوبِكُمْ.

17 T hou hast avouched Jehovah this day to be thy God, and that thou wouldest walk in his ways, and keep his statutes, and his commandments, and his ordinances, and hearken unto his voice:

فَأنْتُمُ اليَومَ قَدِ اتَّفَقْتُمْ مَعَ اللهِ أنْ يَكُونَ هُوَ إلَهُكُمْ، وَأنْ تَحيَوا بِحَسَبِ مَشِيئَتِهِ، وَأنْ تَحفَظُوا شَرائِعَهُ وَفَرائِضَهُ، وَأنْ تُطِيعُوهُ.

18 a nd Jehovah hath avouched thee this day to be a people for his own possession, as he hath promised thee, and that thou shouldest keep all his commandments;

كَما قَطَعَ اللهُ اليَومَ عَهْداً مَعَكُمْ، أنْ تَكُونُوا شَعبَهُ الخاصُّ الثَّمِينُ كَما وَعَدَكُمْ، وَأنْ تَحفَظُوا أنْتُمْ جَمِيعَ وَصاياهُ.

19 a nd to make thee high above all nations that he hath made, in praise, and in name, and in honor; and that thou mayest be a holy people unto Jehovah thy God, as he hath spoken.

وَهُوَ سَيَجعَلُكُمْ أعظَمَ صِيتاً وَسُمعَةً وَكَرامَةً مِنْ كُلِّ الأُمَمِ الَّتِي خَلَقَها. وَسَتَكُونُونَ شَعباً مُخَصَّصاً لإلَهِكُمْ كَما قالَ.»
