1 A nd Moses went and spoke these words to all Israel;

ثُمَّ ذَهَبَ مُوسَى لِيَتَكَلَّمَ بِكُلِّ هَذِهِ الكَلِماتِ لِبَنِي إسْرائِيلَ،

2 a nd he said unto them, I am a hundred and twenty years old this day, I can no more go out and come in; and Jehovah hath said unto me, Thou shalt not go over this Jordan.

وَعادَ فَقالَ لَهُمْ: «أنا اليَومَ فِي المِئَةِ وَالعِشرِينَ مِنْ عُمْرِي، وَلَمْ أعُدْ قادِراً عَلَى قِيادَتِكُمْ. وَقَدْ قالَ اللهُ لِي: ‹لَنْ تَعبُرَ نَهْرَ الأُردُنِّ.›

3 J ehovah thy God, he will go over before thee, he will destroy these nations from before thee, that thou mayest take possession of them: Joshua, he shall go over before thee, as Jehovah hath said.

إلَهُكُمْ هُوَ مَنْ سَيَقُودُكُمْ فِي العُبُورِ وَسَيَسِيرُ أمامَكُمْ. وَسَيُهلِكُ هَذِهِ الأُمَمَ مِنْ أمامِكُمْ، وَسَتَمتَلِكُونَ أرْضَهُمْ. وَيَشُوعُ هُوَ مَنْ سَيَقُودُكُمْ كَما وَعَدَ اللهُ.

4 A nd Jehovah will do to them as he did to Sihon and to Og, the kings of the Amorites, and to their land; whom he destroyed.

«وَسَيَعمَلُ اللهُ بِهِمْ كَما عَمِلَ بِسِيحُونَ وَعُوجَ مَلِكَيِّ الأمُورِيِّينَ وَأرْضِهِما حِينَ أهلَكَهُما.

5 A nd when Jehovah giveth them up before you, ye shall do to them according to all the commandment which I have commanded you.

وَسَيُساعِدُكُمْ اللهُ فِي هَزِيمَةِ تِلْكَ الأُمَمِ. فَاعْمَلُوا بِهِمْ كُلَّ ما أمَرتُكُمْ بِهِ.

6 B e strong and courageous, fear them not, neither be afraid of them; for Jehovah thy God, he it is that goeth with thee; he will not leave thee, nor forsake thee.

تَقَوُّوُا وَتَشَجَّعُوا! لا تَخافُوا وَلا تَرتَعِبُوا مِنْهُمْ، لِأنَّ إلَهَكَمْ سَيَسِيرُ مَعَكُمْ، لَنْ يَترُكَكُمْ وَلَنْ يَتَخَلَّى عَنْكُمْ.»

7 A nd Moses called to Joshua, and said to him in the sight of all Israel, Be strong and courageous, for thou must go with this people into the land which Jehovah hath sworn unto their fathers to give them; and thou shalt cause them to inherit it.

ثُمَّ دَعا مُوسَى يَشُوعَ. وَقالَ مُوسَى لِيَشُوعَ عَلَى مَسْمَعِ وَمَرْأى جَمِيعِ بَنِي إسْرائِيلَ: «تَقَوَّ وَتَشَجَّعْ! فَأنتَ مَنْ سَيَقُودُ هَذا الشَّعبَ إلَى الأرْضِ الَّتِي أقسَمَ اللهُ لآبائِهِمْ بِأنْ يُعطِيَها لَهُمْ، وَسَتُقَسِّمُ الأرْضَ فِيما بَينَهُمْ.

8 A nd Jehovah, he it is that goeth before thee: he will be with thee; he will not leave thee, nor forsake thee; fear not, neither be dismayed.

سَيَقُودُكَ اللهُ وَيَكُونُ مَعَكَ. لَنْ يَترُكَكَ وَلَنْ يَتَخَلَّى عَنْكَ. فَلا تَخَفْ وَلا تَرتَعِب.» كَتَبَةُ الشَّرِيعَة

9 A nd Moses wrote this law, and delivered it to the priests, the sons of Levi, who bore the ark of the covenant of Jehovah, and to all the elders of Israel.

وَكَتَبَ مُوسَى هَذِهِ الشَّرِيعَةَ وَأعطاها لِلكَهَنَةِ الَّذِينَ مِنْ نَسلِ لاوِي، الَّذِينَ حَمَلُوا صُنْدُوقَ عَهْدِ اللهِ ، وَلِجَمِيعِ شُيُوخِ وَقادَةِ إسْرائِيلَ.

10 A nd Moses commanded them, saying, At the end of every seven years, at the set time of the year of release, at the feast of tabernacles,

وَأوصاهُمْ مُوسَى وَقالَ: «فِي كُلِّ سَبعِ سَنَواتٍ، فِي الوَقْتِ المُعَيَّنِ لِسَنَةِ إلغاءِ الدُّيُونِ خِلالَ عِيدُ السَّقائِفِ،

11 w hen all Israel cometh to appear before Jehovah thy God in the place which he will choose, thou shalt read this law before all Israel in their ears.

حِينَ يَأْتِي كُلُّ بَنِي إسْرائِيلَ لِيَقِفُوا أمامَ إلَهِكُمْ فِي المَكانِ الَّذِي سَيَختارُهُ، تَقرَأُونَ هَذِهِ الشَّرِيعَةَ أمامَ كُلِّ بَنِي إسْرائِيلَ لِيَسمَعُوها.

12 G ather the people together, the men, and the women, and the children, and thy stranger that is within thy gates, that they may hear, and that they may learn, and fear Jehovah your God, and take heed to do all the words of this law;

اجمَعُوا الشَّعبَ مَعاً: الرِّجالَ وَالنِّساءَ وَالأطفالَ وَالاجانِبَ المُقيمُونَ فِي مُدُنِكُمْ، لِيَسمَعُوا وَيَتَعَلَّمُوا وَيَخافُوا إلَهَكُمْ ، وَلِيَحرِصُوا عَلَى إطاعَةِ كُلِّ كَلامِ هَذِهِ الشَّرِيعَةِ.

13 a nd that their children who do not know it may hear it and learn, that they may fear Jehovah your God, as long as ye live in the land, whereunto ye pass over the Jordan to possess it.

وَبِهَذا سَيَسمَعُ نَسلُهُمُ الَّذِي لَمْ يَكُنْ يَعرِفُ هَذِهِ الشَّرِيعَةَ، وَيَتَعَلَّمُ أنْ يَخافَ إلَهَكَمْ ما دُمتُمْ تَسكُنُونَ الأرْضَ الَّتِي تَعبُرُونَ نَهرَ الأُردُنِّ لامتِلاكِها.» دَعوَةُ اللهِ لِمُوسَى وَيَشُوع

14 A nd Jehovah said to Moses, Lo, the days are near for thee to die; call Joshua, and present yourselves at the tent of meeting, that I may give him a charge. And Moses and Joshua went and presented themselves at the tent of meeting.

وَقالَ اللهُ لِمُوسَى: «قَدِ اقتَرَبَ وَقتُ مَوتِكَ، فادعُ يَشُوعَ وَتَعالا وَقِفا فِي خَيمَةِ الاجْتِماعِ لِأُعطِيَهُ تَعلِيماتٍ وَوَصايا.» فَأتَى مُوسَى وَيَشُوعُ وَوَقَفا فِي خَيمَةِ الاجْتِماعِ.

15 A nd Jehovah appeared at the tent in the pillar of cloud; and the pillar of cloud stood over the entrance to the tent.

حِينَئِذٍ، ظَهَرَ اللهُ فِي خَيمَةِ الاجْتِماعِ فِي عَمُودٍ مِنْ سَحابٍ، وَوَقَفَ عَمُودُ السَّحابِ فَوقَ مَدخَلِ الخَيمَةِ.

16 A nd Jehovah said to Moses, Behold, thou shalt sleep with thy fathers; and this people will rise up, and go a whoring after the strange gods of the land into which they enter, and will forsake me, and break my covenant which I have made with them.

حِينَئِذٍ، قالَ اللهُ لِمُوسَى: «سَتَمُوتُ قَرِيباً، وَسَيَخُونُني هَذا الشَّعبُ وَيَعبُدُونَ آلِهَةً غَرِيبَةً فِي الأرْضِ الَّتِي سَيَدخُلُونَها. سَيَترُكُونَنِي وَيَنقُضُونَ العَهْدَ الَّذِي قَطَعْتُهُ مَعَهُمْ.

17 A nd my anger shall be kindled against them in that day, and I will forsake them, and I will hide my face from them, and they shall be devoured, and many evils and troubles shall befall them, and they will say in that day, Have not these evils befallen me because my God is not in my midst?

فِي ذَلِكَ الوَقتِ، سَأغضَبُ جِدّاً عَلَيهِمْ وَسَأترُكُهُمْ وَأستُرُ وَجهِي عَنهُمْ، فَيُصبِحُونَ فَرِيسَةً لأعْدائِهِمْ. وَتَأتِي عَلَيهِمْ كَوارِثُ وَضِيقاتٌ كَثِيرَةٌ. فَيَقُولُونَ فِي ذَلِكَ الوَقتِ: ‹حَدَثَتْ هَذِهِ الكَوارِثُ لَنا لِأنَّ إلَهَنا لَمْ يَكُنْ مَعَنا.›

18 A nd I will entirely hide my face in that day for all the evils that they have wrought, because they turned unto other gods.

سَأرفُضُ مُساعَدَتَهُمْ فِي ذَلِكَ الوَقتِ، بِسَبَبِ كُلِّ الشَّرِّ الَّذِي عَمِلُوهُ لأنَّهُمْ سارُوا وَراءَ آلِهَةٍ أُخْرَى.

19 A nd now, write ye this song, and teach it to the children of Israel; put it in their mouths, that this song may be a witness for me against the children of Israel.

«فاكتُبِ الآنَ هَذا النَّشِيدَ لَكُمْ، وَعَلِّمهُ لِبَنِي إسْرائِيلَ. اجْعَلهُمْ يَحفَظُونَهُ لِيَكُونَ شاهِداً لِي عَلَى بَنِي إسْرائِيلَ.

20 F or I shall bring them into the land which I swore unto their fathers, which floweth with milk and honey; and they will eat and fill themselves, and wax fat, and will turn unto other gods, and serve them, and despise me, and break my covenant.

فَأنا سَأُدْخِلُهُمْ إلَى الأرْضِ الَّتِي تَفيضُ لَبَناً وَعَسَلاً، الَّتِي وَعَدْتُ بِأنْ أُعْطِيَها لآبائِكُمْ، فَيَأكُلُونَ ما يُرِيدُونَهُ وَيَسْمَنُونْ. لَكِنَّهُمْ سَيَلْتَفِتُونَ إلَى آلِهَةٍ أُخْرَى وَيَعْبُدُونَها، وَسَيَرفُضُونَنِي وَيَنقُضُونَ عَهدِي.

21 A nd it shall come to pass, when many evils and troubles have befallen them, that this song shall testify against them as a witness; for it shall not be forgotten out of the mouths of their seed; for I know their imagination which they are forming already this day, before I bring them into the land which I have sworn.

وَحِينَ تَأتِي عَلَيهِمْ كَوارِثُ كَثِيرَةٌ وَضِيقاتٌ، فَإنَّ هَذا النَّشِيدَ سَيَكُونُ شاهِداً عَلَيْهِمْ. فَلَنْ يَنساهُ أحَدٌ مِنْ نَسلِهِمْ. فَأنا أعرِفُ أفْكارَهُمْ، حَتَّى قَبلَ أنْ أُدخِلَهُمْ إلَى الأرْضِ الَّتِي أقسَمتُ بِأنْ أُعْطِيَها لَهُمْ.»

22 A nd Moses wrote this song the same day, and taught it to the children of Israel.

فَكَتَبَ مُوسَى هَذا النَّشِيدَ فِي ذَلِكَ اليَومِ وَعَلَّمَهُ لِبَنِي إسْرائِيلَ.

23 A nd commanded Joshua the son of Nun, and said, Be strong and courageous; for thou shalt bring the children of Israel into the land which I have sworn unto them; and I will be with thee.

ثُمَّ أوصَى اللهُ يَشُوعَ بنَ نُونَ وَقالَ لَهُ: «تَقَوَّ وَتَشَجَّعْ لِأنَّكَ سَتَقُودُ بَنِي إسْرائِيلَ إلَى الأرْضِ الَّتِي أقسَمتُ بِأنْ أُعْطِيَها لَهُمْ، وَسَأكُونُ مَعَكَ.» تَحذِيرُ مُوسَى لِبَنِي إسْرائِيل

24 A nd it came to pass, when Moses had ended writing the words of this law in a book, until their conclusion,

وَحِينَ انتَهَى مُوسَى مِنْ كِتابَةِ كَلِماتِ هَذِهِ الشَّرِيعَةِ فِي كِتابٍ،

25 t hat Moses commanded the Levites, who bore the ark of the covenant of Jehovah, saying,

أمَرَ اللّاوِيِّينَ الَّذِينَ يَحمِلُونَ صُندُوقَ عَهدِ اللهِ فَقالَ لَهُمْ:

26 T ake this book of the law, and put it at the side of the ark of the covenant of Jehovah your God, that it may be there for a witness against thee;

«خُذُوا كِتابَ الشَّرِيعَةِ هَذا، وَضَعُوهُ بِجانِبِ صُندُوقِ عَهدِ إلَهِكُمْ. فِيَكُونُ هُناكَ كَشاهِدٍ عَلَيكُمْ بِأنَّكُمْ قَبِلتُمْ شُرُوطَ هَذا العَهدِ.

27 f or I know thy rebellion, and thy stiff neck. Lo, while I am yet alive with you this day, ye have been rebellious against Jehovah; and how much more after my death!

فَأنا أعرِفُ أكثَرَ مِنْ أيِّ أحَدٍ آخَرَ أنَّكُمْ مُتَمَرِّدُونَ وَعَنِيدُونَ. فَقَدْ تَمَرَّدْتُمْ عَلَى اللهِ حَتَّى وَأنا حَيٌّ مَعَكُمْ، لِذا فَمِنَ المُؤَكَّدِ أنَّكُمْ سَتَتَمَرَّدُونَ عَلَيهِ بَعْدَ مَوتِي!

28 G ather to me all the elders of your tribes, and your officers, that I may speak these words in their ears, and take heaven and earth to witness against them.

اجمَعُوا إلَيَّ كُلَّ رُؤَساءِ قَبائِلِكُمْ وَقادَتِكُمْ لِأتَكَلَّمَ بِهَذا الكَلامِ عَلَى مَسامِعِهِمْ. وَأُشْهِدُ السَّماءَ وَالأرْضَ عَلَيهِمْ.

29 F or I know that after my death ye will utterly corrupt yourselves, and will turn aside from the way which I have commanded you; and mischief will befall you at the end of days; because ye do evil in the sight of Jehovah, to provoke him to anger through the work of your hands.

فَأنا أعرِفُ أنَّكَمْ سَتَفْسُدُونَ تَماماً بَعْدَ مَوتِي. سَتَنْحَرِفُونَ عَنِ طَريْقِ وَصايايَ. لِذَلِكَ سَتَحِلُّ بِكُمُ الكَوارِثُ بَعْدَ حِينٍ، لِأنَّكُمْ سَتَفعَلُونَ الشَّرَّ فِي حَضرَةِ اللهِ ، فَتُثِيرُونَ غَضَبَهُ بِأعْمالِكُمْ.» نَشِيدُ مُوسَى

30 A nd Moses spoke in the ears of the whole congregation of Israel the words of this song, until their conclusion.

ثُمَّ تَكَلَّمَ مُوسَى بِكَلِماتِ هَذا النَّشِيدِ بَينَما جَمِيعُ بَنِي إسْرائِيلَ يَستَمِعُونَ:
