ﺍﻟﺘﺜﻨﻴﺔ 32 ~ Deuteronomy 32

picture

1 « أيَّتُها السَّماواتُ، استَمِعِي فَأتَكَلَّمَ! وَلْتَسمَعِ الأرْضُ كَلامَ فَمِي.

¶ Give ear, O ye heavens, and I will speak; and hear, O earth, the words of my mouth.

2 ل ِيَنزِلْ تَعلِيمِي كَالمَطَرِ، وَلتَقطُرْ كَلِماتِي كَالنَّدَى، كَرَشّاتِ المَطَرِ عَلَى البَراعِمِ، وَكَالمَطَرِ الغَزِيرِ عَلَى العُشْبِ.

My doctrine shall drop as the rain, my speech shall distil as the dew, as the small rain upon the tender herb and as the showers upon the grass.

3 ل ِأنِّي سَأُعلِنُ اسْمَ اللهِ ، وَسَأُسَبِّحُ عَظَمَةَ إلَهِنا.

Because I will invoke the name of the LORD, ascribe ye greatness unto our God.

4 « هُوَ الصَّخرَةُ، عَمَلُهُ كامِلٌ، وَطُرُقُهُ عادِلَةٌ مُستَقِيمَةٌ. إنَّهُ إلَهٌ أمِينٌ لا ظُلْمَ فِيهِ، صادِقٌ وَأمينٌ.

The strong One, whose work is perfect: for all his ways are right; a God of truth and without iniquity, just and upright is he.

5 ع امَلُوهُ بِعَدَمِ استِقامَةٍ. إنَّهُمْ لَيسُوا أولادَهُ بِسَبَبِ عُيُوبِهِمْ وَعَدَمِ استِقامَتِهِمْ، بَلْ هُمْ شَعبٌ مُتَآمِرٌ خَدّاعٌ.

They have corrupted themselves, their spot is that they are not his sons; they are a perverse and crooked generation.

6 أ هَكَذا تُكافِئُونَ اللهَ يا شَعباً غَبِيّاً بِلا تَفْكِيرٍ؟ ألَيسَ هُوَ أباكُمْ خالِقَكُمْ؟ ألَيسَ هُوَ الَّذِي صَنَعَكُمْ وَأوجَدَكُمْ وَجَعَلَكُمْ أمَّةً؟

Do ye thus repay the LORD, O foolish and unwise people? Is he not thy father that has possessed thee? He made thee and established thee.

7 « اذكُرُوا الأيّامَ القَدِيمَةَ. فَكِّرُوا بِسَنَواتِ الأجيالِ الماضِيَةِ. اسألُوا آباءَكُمْ وَهُمْ سَيُخبِرُونَكُمْ. اسألُوا شُيُوخَكُمْ وَهُمْ سَيُخبِرُونَكُمْ.

¶ Remember the days of old; consider the years of many generations; ask thy father, and he will show thee; thy elders, and they will tell thee;

8 ح ِينَ وَزَّعَ العَلِيُّ الأُمَمَ، وَقَسَّمَ الجِنسَ البَشَرِيَّ، عَيَّنَ حُدُودَ الأُمَمِ وَفْقاً لِعَدَدِ المَلائِكَةِ.

when the most High caused the Gentiles to be inherited, when he separated the sons of men, he set the bounds of the peoples according to the number of the sons of Israel.

9 ل َكِنَّ حِصَّةَ اللهِ هِيَ شَعبُهُ، يَعقُوبُ هُوَ حِصَّتُهُ.

For the LORD’s portion is his people; Jacob is the measuring line of his inheritance.

10 « وَجَدَهُمْ فِي صَحراءَ، فِي قَفرٍ تَعْصِفُ بِهِ الرِّياحُ. فَأحاطَ بِهِمْ وَاهتَمَّ بِهِمْ، وَحَرَسَهُمْ كَحَدَقَةِ عَينِهِ.

He found him in a desert land and in the waste howling wilderness; he led him about, he instructed him, he kept him as the apple of his eye.

11 ك َما يَهُزُّ النَّسْرُ عُشَّهُ، فَيُرَفرِفُ فَوقَ صِغارِهِ لِيَطِيروا، ثُمَّ يَبْسِطُ جَناحَيهِ، وَيَحْمِلُهُمْ عَلَى رِيشِ الجَناحَينِ.

As an eagle stirs up her nest, flutters over her young, spreads abroad her wings, takes them, bears them on her wings,

12 ا للهُ وَحْدَهُ قادَهُمْ، وَلَمْ يَكُنْ مَعَهُ إلَهٌ غَرِيبٌ.

so the LORD alone did lead him, and there was no strange god with him.

13 أ صْعَدَهُمْ إلَى الجِبالِ، وَأطْعَمَهُمْ مِنْ مَحاصِيلِ الحَقلِ. وَأعطاهُمْ عَسَلاً مِنَ الصَّخرِ، وَزَيتَ زَيتُونٍ مِنَ حَجَرِ الصُّوّانِ.

He made him ride on the high places of the earth that he might eat the fruits of the field; and he made him to suck honey out of the rock and oil out of the strong flint,

14 و َأعطاهُمْ زُبدَةً مِنَ البَقَرِ، وَحَلِيباً مِنَ الغَنَمِ. وَأفضَلَ الحِملانِ وَالكِباشِ، وَأبقاراً مِنْ باشانَ مَعَ تُيُوسٍ، وَأفضَلَ أنواعِ القَمحِ. كَما شَرِبْتُمُ النَّبيذَ، دَمَ العِنَبِ.

butter of cows and milk of sheep, with fat of lambs and rams of the sons of Bashan (or fruitfulness) and goats with the fat of kidneys, of wheat; and thou didst drink the blood of the grape, pure wine.

15 « لَكِنَّ يَشْرُونَ سَمِنَ وَرَفَسَ! صارَ سَمِيناً وَغَلِيظاً وَكَثِيرَ الشَّحمِ. تَرَكَ اللهَ الَّذِي صَنَعَهُ، وَرَفَضَ صَخْرَةَ خَلاصِهِ.

¶ But Jeshurun (the upright one) waxed fat and kicked; (thou art waxen fat, thou art grown thick, thou hast covered thyself) and forsook the God who made him and lightly esteemed the strong One of his saving health.

16 و َأثارَ غَيْرَتَهُ بِآلِهَةٍ غَرِيبَةٍ، وَأغضَبَهُ بِأصنامٍ كَرِيهَةٍ.

They provoked him to jealousy with strange gods; with abominations they provoked him to anger.

17 و َذَبَحُوا لِأرواحٍ لَيسَتْ آلِهَةً، وَذَبَحُوا لِآلِهَةٍ لَمْ يَكُونوا يَعرِفُونَها. آلِهَةٍ جَدِيدَةٍ ظَهَرَتْ حَدِيثاً، وَلَمْ يَكُنْ آباؤكُمْ يَعرِفُونَ عَنْها.

They sacrificed unto devils, not to God, to gods whom they knew not, to new gods that came from nearby, whom your fathers feared not.

18 أ همَلْتَ الصَّخْرَةَ الَّتِي وَلَدَتْكَ، وَنَسِيتَ الَّذِي تَمَخَّضَ بِكَ.

Of the strong One that begat thee thou art unmindful and hast forgotten the God that travailed for thee.

19 « فَرَأى اللهُ هَذا وَرَفَضَهُمْ لِأنَّ أبْناءَهُ وَبَناتِهِ أغضَبُوهُ.

¶ And when the LORD saw it, his wrath was kindled because of his sons and of his daughters.

20 و َقالَ: ‹سَأحْجُبُ وَجهِي عَنهُمْ، وَأرَى ما سَتَكُونُ عَلَيهِ نِهايَتُهُمْ، لِأنَّهُمْ شَعبٌ مُخادِعٌ غَيرُ ثابِتٍ، وَأولادٌ غَيرُ أوْفِياءٍ.

And he said, I will hide my face from them; I will see what their end shall be: that they are a generation of perversities, sons without faith.

21 أ ثارُوا غَيرَتِي بِما هُوَ لَيسَ إلِهاً، وَأغاظُونِي بِأصنامٍ لا قِيمَةَ لَها. لِذا سأجْعَلُهُمْ يَغَارُونَ إذْ أسْتَخْدِمُ شَعباً بِلا هَوِيَّةٍ. وَسَأُغيظُهُمْ فَاسْتَخْدِمُ أُمَّةً جَاهِلَةً.

They have moved me to jealousy with that which is not God; they have provoked me to anger with their vanities; and I also will move them to jealousy with those who are not a people; I will provoke them to anger with foolish Gentiles.

22 ل ِأنَّ ناراً قَدِ اشتَعَلَتْ بِغَضَبِي، وَسَتَشتَعِلُ حَتَّى إلَى أعْماقِ الهاوِيَةِ، وَتَلتَهِمُ الأرْضَ وَمَحاصِيلَها، وَتُشعِلُ أساساتِ الجِبالِ.

For fire shall be kindled in my anger and shall burn unto the lowest part of Sheol and shall consume the earth with her fruit and burn up the foundations of the mountains.

23 « ‹سَأُكَوِّمُ المَصائِبَ عَلَيهِمْ، وَسأخْتَرِقُهُمْ بِجَمِيعِ سِهامِي:

I will heap evils upon them; I will spend my arrows upon them.

24 ب ِجُوعٍ يُضْعِفُ أجْسامَهُمْ، وَمَرَضٍ يُنْهِكُهُمْ بِحُمَّى شَديدَةٍ، وَأُرسِلُ أنْيابَ الحَيواناتِ المُفْتَرِسَةِ، وَسُمُومَ الحَيَواناتِ الزَّاحِفَةِ فِي التُّرابِ.

They shall be consumed with hunger and devoured with burning heat and with bitter destruction; I will also send the teeth of beasts upon them, with the poison of serpents of the dust.

25 س َيَقتُلُهُمْ جُنُودٌ فِي الشَّوارِعِ، وَسَيَقتُلُهُمُ الخَوفُ داخِلَ بُيُوتِهِمْ. وَيَمُوتُ الشَّبابُ وَالشّابّاتُ، وَالرُّضَّعُ مَعَ المُسِنِّينَ.

The sword without and terror within shall destroy both the young man and the virgin, the suckling also with the man of gray hairs.

26 « ‹كانَ بِإمكانِي أنْ أقُولَ: سَأمحُوهُمْ! سَأُفنِيهُمْ تَماماً!›

¶ I said I would shatter them in pieces: I would make the remembrance of them to cease from among men,

27 ل َكِنَّنِي لَمْ أشأْ أنْ يُغضِبَنِي أعداؤُهُمْ، وَأنْ يُسِيئُوا فَهْمَ ما حَدَثَ، فَيَقُولُوا: ‹انتَصَرْنا بِقُوَّتِنا! وَلَمْ يَصْنَعِ اللهُ هَذا.›

if I did not fear the wrath of the enemy, lest their adversaries should become vain and lest they should say, Our high hand has done this and not the LORD.

28 « لِأنَّهُمْ أُمَّةٌ لا تَستَوعِبُ، وَلا فَهْمَ لَها.

For they are a Gentile void of counsel, neither is there any intelligence in them.

29 ل َوْ أنَّهُمْ كانُوا حُكَماءَ لَفَهِمُوا هَذا، وَلَفَكَّرُوا فِي ما حَدَثَ لَهُمْ.

O that they were wise, if they were prudent, they would understand their latter end!

30 ف َكَيفَ لِرَجُلٍ واحِدٍ أنْ يَهزِمَ ألفاً، وَكَيفَ لِرَجُلَينِ أنْ يَطرُدا عَشْرَةَ آلافٍ، ما لَمْ يَكُنْ اللهُ قَدْ سَلَّمَهُمْ لأعدائِهِمْ، وَما لَمْ تَكُنْ صَخرَتُهُمْ قَدْ باعَتْهُمْ؟

How could one chase a thousand and two put ten thousands to flight if their strong One had not sold them, and the LORD had not delivered them up?

31 ل ِأنَّ صَخْرَةَ الأُمَمِ لَيسَتْ كَصَخرَتِنا. وَحَتَّى أعداؤنا يَفْهَمَونَ هَذا.

For their strong one is not as our strong One, and even our enemies are judges of this.

32 أ صلُ كَرمَتِهِمْ مِنْ كَرمَةِ سَدُومَ، مِنْ كُرُومِ عَمُورَةَ. عِنَبُهُمْ عِنَبٌ سامٌّ، وَقُطُوفُهُمْ مُرَّةٌ.

Therefore, their vine is of the vine of Sodom and of the fields of Gomorrah; their grapes are grapes of gall, their clusters are very bitter.

33 خ َمرُهُمْ كَسُمِّ الحَيّاتِ، كَسُمِّ الأفاعِي القاتِلِ.

Their wine is the poison of dragons and the cruel venom of asps.

34 « كُنتُ أُخَبِّئُ هَذِهِ الخَمرَ، إنَّها مَحفُوظَةٌ فِي مَخزَنِي.

Do I not have this laid up in store, sealed up in my treasuries?

35 ف َليَ الانتِقامُ، وَأنا سَأجازِي حِينَ تَزِلُّ أقْدامُهُمْ. لِأنَّ وَقتَ كارِثَتِهِمْ قَرِيبٌ، وَعُقُوبَتُهُمْ سَتَأْتِي سَرِيعاً.›

Vengeance and recompense are mine, in the time when their foot shall slide; for the day of their calamity is at hand and that which is determined upon them makes haste.

36 « لِأنَّ اللهَ سَيُنصِفُ شَعبَهُ، وَسَيَرحَمُ خُدّامَهُ. حِينَ يَرَى أنْ أياديَهُمْ قَدْ ضَعُفَتْ، عَبيداً وَأحْراراً.

For the LORD shall judge his people and repent himself for his slaves when he sees that their power is gone, and there is none shut up or left.

37 ح ِينَئِذٍ سَيَقُولُ: ‹أينَ آلِهَتُهُمُ الآنَ، الصَّخرَةُ الَّتِي وَثِقُوا بِها لِحِمايَتِهِمْ،

And he shall say, Where are their gods, their strong one in whom they trusted,

38 ا لَّتِي أكَلَتْ شَحْمَ ذَبائِحِهِمْ، وَشَرِبَتْ خَمرَ تَقدِماتِهِمْ؟ لِتَقُمْ وَتُساعِدْهُمْ! فَلتَحْمِهِمْ!

who ate the fat of their sacrifices and drank the wine of their drink offerings? Let them rise up and help you, and be your protection.

39 « ‹ها إنِّي أنا الإلَهُ الوَحِيدُ، وَلَيسَ إلَهٌ غَيرِي. أنا أُمِيتُ وَأُحيِي. أنا جَرَحتُ وَأنا سأشْفِي، وَلا يَستَطِيعُ أحَدٌ أنْ يُنقِذَ مِنْ يَدِي.

¶ See now that I, I am he, and there are no gods with me; I kill, and I make alive; I wound, and I heal; and there is not one that can deliver out of my hand.

40 ق َدْ رَفَعْتُ يَدِي إلَى السَّماءِ، وَقُلْتُ: أُقسِمُ بِذاتِي،

When I shall lift up my hand to the heavens and shall say, I live for ever,

41 ح ِينَ أُحَدِّدُ سَيفِي الَّلامِعَ، لأصنَعَ بِهِ العَدلَ، سَأنتَقِمُ مِنْ أعدائِي، وَسَأُجازِي الَّذِينَ يُبغِضُونَنِي.

if I whet the resplendence of my sword and my hand takes hold on judgment, I will render vengeance to my enemies and will recompense those that hate me.

42 س َأجْعَلُ سِهامِي مُغَطّاةً بِالدَّمِ، وَسَيَأْكُلُ سَيفِي لَحماً. سَتُغَطَّى بِدَمِ المَقتُولِينَ وَالمَأسُورِينَ، وَسَتَأكُلُ رُؤُوسَ قادَةِ الأعداءِ.›

I will make my arrows drunk with blood and my sword shall devour flesh, in the blood of the slain and of the captives of the heads, in revenge as an enemy.

43 « افرَحِي أيَّتُها الأُمَمُ الأُخْرَى مَعَ شَعبِ اللهِ. لِأنَّهُ سَيُعاقِبُ عَلَى قَتلِ خُدّامِهِ. سَيَنتَقِمُ مِنْ أعدائِهِ، وَسَيُطَهِّرُ أرْضَ شَعبِهِ.» تَعلِيمُ مُوسَى لِلنَّشِيد

Rejoice, O ye Gentiles, with his people, for he will avenge the blood of his slaves and will render vengeance to his enemies and will reconcile his land, to his people.

44 ث ُمَّ أتَى مُوسَى وَتَكَلَّمَ بِكُلِّ كَلِماتِ هَذا النَّشَيدِ لِكُلِّ بَنِي إسْرائِيلَ لِيَسمَعُوها. وَكانَ يَشُوعُ بْنُ نُونَ مَعَ مُوسَى.

¶ And Moses came and spoke all the words of this song in the ears of the people, he, and Hosea, the son of Nun.

45 و َحِينَ انتَهَى مُوسَى مِنْ كُلِّ هَذا الكَلامِ لِبَنِي إسْرائِيلَ،

And Moses finished speaking all these words to all Israel;

46 ق الَ لَهُمْ أيْضاً: «تَأمَّلُوا بِقُلُوبِكُمْ جَمِيعَ الكَلِماتِ الَّتِي أوصَيتُكُمُ اليَومَ بِها. وَأوصُوا بِها أولادَكُمْ لِيَحفَظُوا كُلَّ كَلِماتِ هَذِهِ الشَّرِيعَةِ.

and he said unto them, Set your hearts unto all the words which I protest against you today, to command them unto your children and keep and fulfil all the words of this law.

47 ل ا تَستَهينُوا بِهَذِهِ الكَلِماتِ، فَهِيَ حَياتُكُمْ. وَبِها تَطُولُ أعْمارُكُمْ فِي الأرْضِ الَّتِي تَعبُرُونَ نَهْرَ الأردُنِّ لِتَمتَلِكُوها.» إنباءُ اللهِ لِمُوسَى باقتِرابِ مَوتِه

For it is not a vain thing for you because it is your life; and through this thing ye shall prolong your days in the land, which ye shall pass the Jordan to inherit.

48 و َكَلَّمَ اللهُ مُوسَى فِي ذَلِكَ اليَومِ فَقالَ:

And the LORD spoke unto Moses that same day, saying,

49 « اصْعَدْ إلَى جِبالِ عَبارِيمَ، إلَى جَبَلِ نِيبُو الوَاقِعِ فِي أرْضِ مُوآبَ، المُشْرِفِ عَلَى أرِيحا، وَانظُرْ أرْضَ كَنْعانَ الَّتِي أُعطِيها لِبَنِي إسْرائِيلَ مُلْكاً لَهُمْ.

Climb up into this mountain Abarim, unto Mount Nebo, which is in the land of Moab, that is over against Jericho, and behold the land of Canaan, which I give as inheritance unto the sons of Israel,

50 س َتَمُوتُ عَلَى الجَبَلِ الَّذِي سَتَصْعَدُ إلَيهِ، وَسَتَنضَمُّ إلَى آبائِكَ، كَما ماتَ أخُوكَ هَارُونُ عَلَى جَبَلِ هُورَ وَانضَمَّ إلَى آبائِهِ،

and die in the mountain which thou shalt climb and be gathered unto thy peoples, as Aaron thy brother died in Mount Hor and was gathered unto his peoples,

51 ل ِأنَّكُما تَمَرَّدتُما عَلَيَّ أمامَ بَنِي إسْرائِيلَ، عِندَ مِياهِ مَرِيبَةَ قادِشَ فِي بَرِّيَّةِ صِينَ، لِأنَّكُما لَمْ تُظْهِرا قَداسَتي فِي وَسَطِ بَنِي إسْرائِيلَ.

because ye trespassed against me among the sons of Israel at the waters of Meribah-Kadesh, in the wilderness of Zin, because ye did not sanctify me in the midst of the sons of Israel.

52 و َلِذا سَتَرَى الأرْضَ مِنْ بَعِيدٍ، لَكِنَّكَ لَنْ تَدْخُلَ الأرْضَ الَّتِي أُعطِيها لِبَنِي إسْرائِيلَ.»

Yet thou shalt see the land before thee, but thou shalt not enter there to the land which I give the sons of Israel.
