1 « وَفِي ذَلِكَ اليَومِ، قالَ اللهُ لِي: ‹انحَتْ لَوحَينِ مِنْ حَجَرٍ مَثلَ الَّلوحَينِ الأوَّلَينِ، وَاصعَدْ إلَيَّ إلَى الجَبَلِ. اصنَعْ لَكَ صُندُوقاً مِنْ خَشَبٍ،

¶ At that time the LORD said unto me, Hew thee two tables of stone like unto the first and come up unto me into the mount and make thee an ark of wood,

2 و َسَأكتُبُ عَلَى اللَّوحَينِ الوَصايا الَّتِي كانَتْ عَلَى اللَّوحَينِ الأوَلِينِ اللَّذَينِ حَطَّمتَهُما. ثُمَّ ضَعِ اللَّوحَينِ فِي الصُّنْدُوقِ.›

and I will write on the tables the words that were in the first tables which thou didst brake, and thou shalt put them in the ark.

3 « فَصَنَعتُ الصُّنْدُوقَ مِنْ خَشَبِ السَّنطِ. وَنَحَتُّ لَوحَينِ حَجَرِيَّينِ مِثلَ اللَّوحَينِ الأوَّلَينِ. ثُمَّ صَعِدْتُ إلَى الجَبَلِ وَاللَّوحانِ فِي يَدَيَّ.

And I made an ark of cedar wood and hewed two tables of stone like unto the first, and went up into the mount, having the two tables in my hand.

4 و َكَتَبَ اللهُ عَلَى اللَّوحَينِ ما كانَ قَدْ كَتَبَهُ عَلَى اللَّوحَينِ الأوَّلَينِ. أي الوَصايا العَشَرَ الَّتِي تَكَلَّمَ اللهُ بِها إلَيكُمْ عَلَى الجَبَلِ مِنْ وَسَطِ النّارِ يَومَ اجتَمَعتُمْ هُناكَ، وَقَدْ أعْطاها لِي.

And he wrote on the tables, according to the first writing, the ten words which the LORD spoke unto you in the mount out of the midst of the fire in the day of the assembly; and the LORD gave them unto me.

5 ح ِينَئِذٍ، نَزَلتُ مِنَ الجَبَلِ وَوَضَعْتُ اللَّوحَينِ فِي الصُّنْدُوقِ الَّذِي صَنَعتُهُ، وَقَدْ بَقِيا هُناكَ كَما أوصانِي اللهُ.»

And I turned and came down from the mount and put the tables in the ark which I had made; and there they are, as the LORD commanded me.

6 ث ُمَّ ارتَحَلَ بَنُو إسْرائِيلَ مِنْ آبارِ اليَعقانِيِّينَ إلَى مُوسِيرَ، حَيثُ ماتَ هَرُونُ وَدُفِنَ هُناكَ. فَصارَ ألِعازَرُ ابْنُهُ كاهِناً مَكانَهُ.

(After this, the sons of Israel took their journey from Beeroth of the sons of Jaakan to Mosera; there Aaron died, and there he was buried; and Eleazar, his son, received the priesthood in his stead.

7 و َمِنْ هُناكَ ارتَحَلُوا إلَى الجِدْجُودِ، وَمِنْها إلَى يُطباتَ، وَهُوَ مَكانٌ مَعْرُوفٌ بِكَثْرَةِ يَنابِيعِ الماءِ.

From there they journeyed unto Gudgodah and from Gudgodah to Jotbath, a land of rivers of waters.

8 « فِي ذَلِكَ اليَومِ، عَيَّنَ اللهُ قَبِيلَةَ لاوِي لِحَملِ صُندُوقِ عَهْدِ اللهِ ، وَلِيَمثُلُوا فِي حَضرَةِ اللهِ لِيَخدِمُوهُ، وَلِيُبارِكُوا الشَّعبَ بِاسْمِ اللهِ ، كَما يَفعَلُونَ حَتَّى اليَومِ.

At that time the LORD separated the tribe of Levi to bear the ark of the covenant of the LORD, to stand before the LORD to minister unto him, and to bless in his name, unto this day.

9 ل ِهَذا لا تَملِكُ قَبِيلَةُ لاوِي حِصَّةً مِنَ الأرْضِ كَالقَبائِلِ الأُخرَى، لِأنَّ اللهَ هُوَ حِصَّتُها كَما وَعَدَ لاوِي.

Therefore, Levi had no part nor inheritance with his brethren; the LORD is his inheritance, according as the LORD thy God said unto him.)

10 « وَأمّا أنا فَقَدْ بَقِيتُ عَلَى الجَبَلِ أربَعِينَ نَهاراً وَأربَعِينَ لَيلَةً كَالمَرَّةِ الأُولَى، وَقَدِ استَمَعَ اللهُ لِي ثانِيَةً فِي ذَلِكَ اليَومِ، فَما أهلَكَكُمْ.

And I stayed in the mount, like the first time, forty days and forty nights; and the LORD hearkened unto me at that time also, and the LORD did not desire to destroy thee.

11 ث ُمَّ قالَ اللهُ لِي: ‹قُمْ وَاذْهَبْ وَارتَحِلْ أمامَ الشَّعبِ، لِيَدخُلُوا وَيَمتَلِكُوا الأرْضَ الَّتِي أقسَمْتُ لآبائِكُمْ بِأنْ أُعطِيها لَهُمْ.› ما يُرِيدُهُ الله

And the LORD said unto me, Arise, take thy journey before the people that they may enter in and inherit the land, which I swore unto their fathers to give unto them.

12 « وَالآنَ يا إسْرائِيلُ، ما الَّذِي يَطلُبُهُ إلَهُكَ مِنكَ؟ أنْ تَتَّقِي إلَهَكَ ، وَأنْ تَحيا بِحَسَبِ كَلامِهِ، وَأنْ تُحِبَّهُ، وَتَخدِمَ اللهَ بِكُلِّ قَلْبِكَ وَنَفْسِكَ.

¶ And now, Israel, what does the LORD thy God require of thee, but to fear the LORD thy God, to walk in all his ways and to love him and to serve the LORD thy God with all thy heart and with all thy soul,

13 و َأنْ تَحفَظَ شَرائِعَ إلَهِكَ وَوَصاياهُ الَّتِي أُعْطِيها لَكَ اليَومَ لَخَيْرِكَ.

to keep the commandments of the LORD and his statutes, which I command thee this day for thy good?

14 « فَمَعَ أنَّ السَّماواتِ وَأعَلَى السَّماواتِ وَالأرْضَ وَكُلَّ ما فِيها لإلَهِكَ ،

Behold, the heavens and the heaven of heavens are of the LORD thy God, the earth also, with all that is therein.

15 ف َقَدْ أحَبَّ اللهُ آباءَكُمْ بِشَكلٍ خاصٍّ. وَاختارَكُمْ، أنتُمْ نَسلَهُمْ مِنْ بَعْدِهِمْ، مِنْ بَينِ جَمِيعِ الشُّعُوبِ، لِتَكُونوا شَعبَهُ. وَما زِلْتُمْ كَذَلِكَ إلَى اليَومِ.

The LORD delighted only in thy fathers to love them, and he chose their seed after them, even you from among all the peoples, as it is this day.

16 ف َلتَتَطَهَّرْ قُلُوبُكُمْ، وَلا تُعانِدُوا بَعْدُ.

Circumcise, therefore, the foreskin of your heart, and no longer be stiffnecked.

17 ل ِأنَّ إلَهَكَمْ هُوَ إلَهُ الآلِهَةِ وَرَبُّ الأرِبابِ. الإلَهُ المُنتَصِرُ الرَّهِيبُ، وَهُوَ لا يَتَحَيَّزُ وَلا يأخُذُ رِشْوَةً.

For the LORD your God is God of gods and Lord of lords, a great God, mighty, and terrible, who makes no exception of persons, nor takes a bribe;

18 ي َضْمَنُ العَدلَ لِليَتامَى وَالأرامِلِ، وَيُحِبُّ الغَرِيبَ وَيُعطِيهِ طَعاماً وَثِياباً.

he executes the rights of the fatherless and the widow and also loves the stranger, giving him food and clothing.

19 « فَأحِبُّوا أنتُمْ أيضاً الغَرِيبَ لِأنَّكُمْ كُنتُمْ غُرَباءَ فِي أرْضِ مِصْرَ.

Ye shall love, therefore, the stranger, for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt.

20 ه ابُوا إلَهَكُمْ وَاعبُدُوهُ. تَمَسَّكُوا بِهِ وَحْدَهُ، وَلا تَحلِفُوا إلّا بِاسْمِهِ.

Thou shalt fear the LORD thy God; him shalt thou serve, and to him shalt thou cleave and swear by his name.

21 ه ُوَ تَسبِيحُكُمْ، وَهوَ إلَهُكُمْ الَّذِي صَنَعَ لِأجلِكُمْ جَمِيعَ هَذِهِ الأشياءَ العَظِيمَةِ وَالرَّهِيبَةِ الَّتِي رَأيتُمُوها بَعُيُونِكُمْ.

He shall be thy praise, and he shall be thy God, that has done with thee these great and terrible things, which thine eyes have seen.

22 ف َعِندَما نَزَلَ آباؤكُمْ إلَى مِصْرَ، كانُوا سَبعِينَ شَخْصاً فَقَطْ، لَكِنْ كَثَّرَكُمْ إلَهُكُمْ مِثلَ نُجُومِ السَّماءِ.

Thy fathers went down into Egypt with seventy souls, and now the LORD thy God has made thee as the stars of heaven in multitude.
