1 « فَأحِبُّوا إلَهَكُمْ ، وَاحْفَظُوا أوامِرَهُ وَشَرائِعَهُ وَفَرائِضَهُ وَوَصاياهُ دائِماً.

Therefore you shall love the Lord your God and keep His charge, His statutes, His precepts, and His commandments always.

2 و َافهَمُوا اليَومَ أنَّ كَلامِي هَذا لَيسَ لِأولادِكُمُ الَّذِينَ لَمْ يَعرِفُوا وَلَمْ يَرَوا تَأْدِيبَ إلَهِكُمْ وَعَظَمَتَهُ وَقُوَّتَهُ العَظِيمَةَ

And know this day—for I am not speaking to your children who have not known and seen it—the instruction and discipline of the Lord your God: His greatness, His mighty hand, and His outstretched arm;

3 و َآياتِهِ وَأعمالَهُ الَّتِي عَمِلَها فِي مِصْرَ بِفِرْعَونَ مَلِكِ مِصْرَ وَبِكُلِّ أرْضِها،

His signs and His deeds which He did in Egypt to Pharaoh the king of Egypt and to all his land;

4 و َما عَمِلَهُ بِجَيشِ مِصْرَ وَخُيُولِهِ وَمَركَباتِهِ، وَكَيفَ أنَّهُ جَعَلَ مِياهَ البَحرِ الأحمَرِ تَغْمُرُهُمْ وَهُمْ يُلاحِقُونَكُمْ، فَأهلَكَهُمْ اللهُ تَماماً إلَى هَذا اليَومِ،

And what He did to the army of Egypt, to their horses and chariots, how He made the waters of the Red Sea flow over them as they pursued you, and how the Lord has destroyed them to this day;

5 و َما عَمِلَهُ لَكُمْ فِي الصَّحراءِ إلَى أنْ أتَيتُمْ إلَى هَذا المَكانِ،

And what He did to you in the wilderness until you came to this place;

6 و َما عَمِلَهُ بَداثانَ وَأبِيرامَ ابْنَي ألِيآبَ الرَأُوبَيْنِيَّ، حِينَ فَتَحَتِ الأرْضُ فاها وَابتَلَعَتهُمْ مَعَ عائِلاتِهِمْ وَخِيامِهِمْ وَكُلِّ حَيوانٍ كانَ يَتبَعُهُمْ فِي وَسَطِ كُلِّ إسْرائِيلَ،

And what He did to Dathan and Abiram, sons of Eliab, the son of Reuben, how the earth opened its mouth and swallowed up them, their households, their tents, and every living thing that followed them, in the midst of all Israel.

7 ب َلْ كَلامِي هُوَ لَكُمْ أنتُمُ الَّذِينَ رَأيتُمْ كُلَّ الأعمالِ العَظِيمَةِ الَّتِي عَمِلَها اللهُ.

For your eyes have seen all the great work of the Lord which He did.

8 « فاحفَظُوا كُلَّ الشَّرِيعَةِ الَّتِي أُعطِيها لَكُمُ اليَومَ، لِتَكُونُوا أقوِياءَ وَتَدخُلُوا لامتِلاكِ الأرْضِ الَّتِي أنتُمْ عابِرُونَ نَهرَ الأُردُنِّ إلَيها،

Therefore you shall keep all the commandments which I command you today, that you may be strong and go in and possess the land which you go across to possess,

9 و َلِكَي تَحيَوا طَوِيلاً عَلَى الأرْضِ الَّتِي أقسَمَ اللهُ لآبائِكُمْ بِأنْ يُعطِيَها لَهُمْ وَلِأحفادِهِمْ، أرْضاً تَفيضُ لَبَناً وَعَسَلاً.

And that you may live long in the land which the Lord swore to your fathers to give to them and to their descendants, a land flowing with milk and honey.

10 ل ِأنَّ الأرْضَ الَّتِي سَتَدخُلُونَ لامتَلاكِها لَيسَتْ كَأرْضِ مِصْرَ الَّتِي تَرَكْتُمُوها، حَيثُ كُنتُمْ فِي مِصْرَ تَزرَعُونَ البُذُورَ وَتَروُونَها بِأرجُلِكُمْ كَبُستانِ خَضراواتٍ.

For the land which you go in to possess is not like the land of Egypt, from which you came out, where you sowed your seed and watered it with your foot laboriously as in a garden of vegetables.

11 ل َكِنَّ الأرْضَ الَّتِي سَتَعبُرُونَ النَّهرَ لامتِلاكِها أرْضُ جِبالٍ وَأودِيَةٍ، تُروَى بِمَطَرِ السَّماءِ.

But the land which you enter to possess is a land of hills and valleys which drinks water of the rain of the heavens,

12 أ رْضٌ يَعتَنِي بِها إلَهُكُمْ. عَينا إلَهِكُمْ عَلَيها دائِماً، مِنْ بِدايَةِ السَّنَةِ إلَى نِهايَتِها.

A land for which the Lord your God cares; the eyes of the Lord your God are always upon it from the beginning of the year to the end of the year.

13 « فَإنْ أطَعتُمْ بِحِرصٍ وَصايايَ الَّتِي أُوصِيكُمْ بِها اليَومَ، وَأحبَبْتُمْ اللهَ وَخَدَمْتُمُوهُ بِكُلِّ قُلٌوبِكِمْ وَبِكُلِّ نُفُوسِكُمْ،

And if you will diligently heed My commandments which I command you this day—to love the Lord your God and to serve Him with all your heart and with your entire being—

14 ف َإنِّي سَأُعْطِي مَطَراً لِأرْضِكُمْ فِي الوَقتِ المُناسِبِ. وَسَأُعْطِي لَها مَطَرَ الخَرِيفِ وَمَطَرَ الرَّبِيعِ. وَسَتَجمَعُونَ قَمحَكُمْ وَنَبيذَكُمُ الجَدِيدَ وَزَيتَكُمْ.

I will give the rain for your land in its season, the early rain and the latter rain, that you may gather in your grain, your new wine, and your oil.

15 و َسَيُنبِتُ عُشْباً فِي حُقُولِكُمْ لِحَيواناتِكُمْ، وَسَيَكُونُ لَدَيكُمْ طَعامٌ وَفِيرٌ.

And I will give grass in your fields for your cattle, that you may eat and be full.

16 « لَكِنِ احْرِصُوا عَلَى أنْ لا يَخدَعَكُمْ أحَدٌ، فَتَبتَعِدُوا وَتَعبُدُوا آلِهَةً أُخْرَى وَتَسجُدُوا لَها.

Take heed to yourselves, lest your hearts be deceived and you turn aside and serve other gods and worship them,

17 إ ذْ سَيَغضَبُ اللهُ عَلَيكُمْ، وَسَيُغلِقُ السَّماءَ فَلا يَكُونُ هُناكَ مَطَرٌ، وَلَنْ تُنبِتَ الأرْضُ مَحاصِيلَها، وَسَتَمُوتُونَ سَرِيعاً فِي الأرْضِ الجَيِّدَةِ الَّتِي يُعطِيها اللهُ لَكُمْ.

And the Lord’s anger be kindled against you, and He shut up the heavens so that there will be no rain and the land will not yield its fruit, and you perish quickly off the good land which the Lord gives you.

18 « فَضَعُوا كَلِماتِي فِي قُلُوبِكُمْ وَفِي نُفُوسِكُمْ. اربُطُوها عَلَى أيدِيكُمْ كَعَلامَةٍ لِتَذكِيرِكُمْ، وَاعْصِبُوا بِها جِباهَكُمْ.

Therefore you shall lay up these My words in your hearts and in your being, and bind them for a sign upon your hands and as forehead bands between your eyes.

19 ع َلِّمُوها لِأولادِكُمْ وَتَكَلَّمُوا بِها حِينَ تَجلِسُونَ فِي بُيُوتِكُمْ، وَحِينَ تَسِيرُونَ فِي الطَّرِيقِ، وَحِينَ تَنامُونَ، وَحِينَ تَقُومُونَ.

And you shall teach them to your children, speaking of them when you sit in your house and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you rise up.

20 ا كتُبُوها عَلَى قَوائِمِ بُيُوتِكُمْ وَبَوّاباتِ مُدُنِكُمْ،

And you shall write them upon the doorposts of your house and on your gates,

21 ل ِكَي تَحيَوا أنتُمْ وَأولادَكُمْ زَمَناً طَوِيلاً عَلَى الأرْضِ الَّتِي أقسَمَ اللهُ لآبائِكُمْ بِأنْ يُعطِيَها لَهُمْ، ما دامَتِ السَّماءُ فَوقَ الأرْضِ.

That your days and the days of your children may be multiplied in the land which the Lord swore to your fathers to give them, as long as the heavens are above the earth.

22 « إنْ حَفِظْتُمْ كُلَّ هَذِهِ الشَّرِيعَةِ الَّتِي أُوصِيكُمْ بِها لِتَعمَلُوها بِحِرصٍ، وَأحبَبتُمْ إلَهَكُمْ ، وَعِشتُمْ بِحَسَبِ كَلامِهِ، وَبَقَيتُمْ أُمَناءَ لَهُ،

For if you diligently keep all this commandment which I command you to do, to love the Lord your God, to walk in all His ways, and to cleave to Him—

23 ف َإنَّ اللهَ سَيَطرُدُ جَمِيعَ هَذِهِ الأُمَمِ مِنْ أمامِكُمْ. فَتَطْرُدُونَ أُمَماً أعظَمَ وَأقوَى مِنكُمْ وَتَمْتَلِكُونَ أرْضَهُمْ.

Then the Lord will drive out all these nations before you, and you shall dispossess nations greater and mightier than you.

24 ك ُلُّ مَكانٍ تَسِيرُ عَلَيهِ أقدامُكُمْ يَكُونُ لَكُمْ. فَيَكُونُ امتِدادُ أرْضِكُمْ مِنَ الصَّحراءِ جَنُوباً إلَى لُبنانَ شَمالاً، وَمِنْ نَهرِ الفُراتِ شَرقاً إلَى البَحرِ الغَربِيِّ.

Every place upon which the sole of your foot shall tread shall be yours: from the wilderness to Lebanon, and from the River, the river Euphrates, to the western sea your territory shall be.

25 و َلَنْ يَستَطِيعَ أحَدٌ أنْ يَقِفَ ضِدَّكُمْ، لِأنَّ إلَهَكُمْ سَيَجعَلُ النّاسَ يَخافُونَكُمْ فِي كُلِّ الأرْضِ حَيثُما ذَهَبتُمْ، كَما وَعَدَكُمْ. البَرَكَةُ وَاللَّعنَة

There shall no man be able to stand before you; the Lord your God shall lay the fear and the dread of you upon all the land that you shall tread, as He has said to you.

26 « سَأُعطِيكُمُ اليَومَ أنْ تَختارُوا بَينَ البَرَكَةِ وَاللَّعنَةِ.

Behold, I set before you this day a blessing and a curse—

27 ا لبَرَكَةُ لَكُمْ إنْ أطَعتُمْ وَصايا إلَهِكُمُ الَّتِي أُوصِيكُمْ بِها اليَومَ،

The blessing if you obey the commandments of the Lord your God which I command you this day;

28 و َاللَّعنَةُ لَكُمْ إنْ لَمْ تَطِيعُوا وَصايا إلَهِكُمْ وَلَمْ تَعِيشُوا بِحَسَبِ ما أُوصِيكُمْ بِهِ اليَومَ، بِسَيرِكُمْ وَراءَ آلِهَةٍ أُخْرَى لَمْ تَعرِفُوها مِنْ قَبلُ.

And the curse if you will not obey the commandments of the Lord your God, but turn aside from the way which I command you this day to go after other gods, which you have not known.

29 « فَعِندَما يُدْخِلُكُمْ إلَهُكُمُ إلَى الأرْضِ لِتَمتَلِكُوها، أعلِنُوا البَرَكَةَ مِنْ فَوْقِ جَبَلِ جِرِزِّيمَ، وَاللَّعنَةَ مِنْ فَوْقِ جَبَلِ عيبالَ،

And when the Lord your God has brought you into the land which you go to possess, you shall set the blessing on Mount Gerizim and the curse on Mount Ebal.

30 ا لجَبَلينِ اللَّذَينِ عَلَى الضِّفَّةِ الغَربِيَّةِ لِنَهرِ الأُردُنِّ، فِي أرْضِ الكَنعانِيِّينَ السّاكِنِينَ وادِي الأردُنِّ قُربَ مَدِينَةِ الجِلجالِ، بِجانِبِ شَجَرَةِ البَلُّوطِ فِي مُورَةَ.

Are they not beyond the Jordan, west of the road, where the sun goes down, in the land of the Canaanites living in the Arabah opposite Gilgal, beside the oaks or terebinths of Moreh?

31 ف َسَتَعبُرُونَ نَهرَ الأُردُنِّ لِتَدخُلُوا وَتَمتَلِكُوا الأرْضَ الَّتِي سَيُعطِيها إلهُكُمْ لَكُمْ. وَحِينَ تَمتَلِكُونَها وَتَسكُنُونَ فِيها،

For you are to cross over the Jordan to go in to possess the land which the Lord your God gives you, and you shall possess it and live in it.

32 أ طِيعُوا جَمِيعَ الشَّرائِعِ وَالفَرائِضِ الَّتِي أُعطِيها لَكُمْ.

And you shall be watchful to do all the statutes and ordinances which I set before you this day.
