1 « وَهَذِهِ هِيَ الوَصايا وَالشَّرائِعُ وَالفَرائِضُ الَّتِي أمَرَنِي إلَهُكُمْ بِأنْ أُعَلِّمَكُمْ إيّاها، لِتَعمَلُوا بِها فِي الأرْضِ الَّتِي أنتُمْ عابِرُونَ إلَيها لِتَمتَلِكُوها.

Now these are the commandments, the statutes, and the judgments, which the Lord your God commanded to teach you, that ye might do them in the land whither ye go to possess it:

2 ف َهَكَذا تَهابُونَ إلَهَكُمْ بِإطاعَةِ كُلِّ شَرائِعِهِ وَوَصاياهُ الَّتِي أُوصِيكُمْ بِها أنتُمْ وَبَنُوكُمْ وَأحفادُكُمْ كُلَّ أيّامِ حَياتِكُمْ، فَتَعِيشُوا حَياةً طَوِيلَةً.

That thou mightest fear the Lord thy God, to keep all his statutes and his commandments, which I command thee, thou, and thy son, and thy son's son, all the days of thy life; and that thy days may be prolonged.

3 ا سْمَعْ يا إسْرائِيلَ، وَاحرِصْ عَلَى إطاعَةِ هَذِهِ الشَّرائِعِ، فَتَنجَحَ وَتَتَكاثَرَ فِي الأرْضِ، إذْ وَعَدَ اللهُ ، إلهَ آبائِكُمْ، بِأنْ يُعطِيَكُمُ أرْضاً تَفيضُ لَبَناً وَعَسَلاً.

Hear therefore, O Israel, and observe to do it; that it may be well with thee, and that ye may increase mightily, as the Lord God of thy fathers hath promised thee, in the land that floweth with milk and honey.

4 « اسْمَعْ يا إسْرائِيلَ، يهوه هُوَ إلَهُنا، يهوه وَحْدُهُ.

Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God is one Lord:

5 ف َتُحِبَّ إلَهَكَ بِكُلِّ قَلبِكَ، وَبِكُلِّ نَفسِكَ، وَبِكُلِّ قُوَّتِكَ.

And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might.

6 ت َذَكَّرُوا دائِماً هَذِهِ الوَصايا الَّتِي أُعطِيها لَكُمُ اليَومَ.

And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be in thine heart:

7 ع َلِّمُوها لِأولادِكُمْ، تَكَلَّمُوا عَنها فِي بُيُوتِكُمْ وَخارِجَ بُيوتِكُمْ، وَحِينَ تَنامُونَ، وَحِينَ تَنهَضُونَ.

And thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up.

8 ا كتُبُوها وَاربِطُوها عَلامَةً عَلَى أيدِيكُمْ، وَالبَسُوها كَعُصابَةٍ عَلَى جِباهِكُمْ.

And thou shalt bind them for a sign upon thine hand, and they shall be as frontlets between thine eyes.

9 ا كتُبُوها عَلَى دَعائِمِ أبوابِ بُيُوتِكُمْ وَبَوّاباتِ مَدِينَتِكُمْ.

And thou shalt write them upon the posts of thy house, and on thy gates.

10 « وَحِينَ يُحضِرُكُمْ إلَهُكُمْ إلَى الأرْضِ الَّتِي أقسَمَ لآبائِكُمْ إبراهِيمَ وَإسْحاقَ وَيَعقُوبَ بِأنْ يُعطِيها لَكُمْ، الَّتِي فِيها مُدُنٌ عَظِيمَةٌ جَمِيلَةٌ لَمْ تَبنُوها،

And it shall be, when the Lord thy God shall have brought thee into the land which he sware unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give thee great and goodly cities, which thou buildedst not,

11 و َبُيُوتٌ تَمتَلِئُ بِخَيراتٍ كَثِيرَةٍ لَمْ تَملأُوها أنتُمْ، وَآبارٌ لَمْ تَحفُرُوها، وَكُرُومُ عِنَبٍ وَبَساتِينُ زَيتُونٍ لَمْ تَزرَعُوها، وَحِينَ تَأكُلُونَ وَتَشبَعُونَ مِنْها،

And houses full of all good things, which thou filledst not, and wells digged, which thou diggedst not, vineyards and olive trees, which thou plantedst not; when thou shalt have eaten and be full;

12 ل ا تَنسَوا اللهَ الَّذِي أخرَجَكُمْ مِنْ أرْضِ مِصْرَ حَيثُ كُنتُمْ فِي العُبُودِيَّةِ.

Then beware lest thou forget the Lord, which brought thee forth out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage.

13 « يَنبَغِي أنْ تَخَافُوا إلَهَكَمْ ، وَانْ تَسجُدُوا لَهُ وَحدَهُ، وَأنْ لا تَحلِفُوا إلّا بِاسْمِهِ.

Thou shalt fear the Lord thy God, and serve him, and shalt swear by his name.

14 ل ا تَسِيرُوا وَراءَ آلِهَةٍ أُخْرَى مِنْ آلِهَةِ الشُّعُوبِ الَّتِي مِنْ حَولِكُمْ،

Ye shall not go after other gods, of the gods of the people which are round about you;

15 ل ِأنَّ إلَهَكَمُ السّاكِنُ فِي وَسَطِكُمْ إلَهٌ غَيُّورٌ. فَاحرِصُوا عَلَى أنْ لا يَغْضَبَ عَلَيكُمْ فَيُفنِيَكُمْ مِنْ عَلَى وَجهِ الأرْضِ.

(For the Lord thy God is a jealous God among you) lest the anger of the Lord thy God be kindled against thee, and destroy thee from off the face of the earth.

16 « لا تَمتَحِنُوا إلَهَكُمْ ، كَما امْتَحَنْتُمُوهُ فِي مَسَّةَ.

Ye shall not tempt the Lord your God, as ye tempted him in Massah.

17 ب َلِ احفَظُوا وَصايا إلَهِكُمْ وَأحكامَهُ وَشَرائِعَهُ الَّتِي أوصاكُمْ بِها،

Ye shall diligently keep the commandments of the Lord your God, and his testimonies, and his statutes, which he hath commanded thee.

18 و َاعْمَلُوا الصَّلاحَ أمامَ اللهِ لِتَنجَحُوا وَتَدخُلُوا وَتَمتَلِكُوا الأرْضَ الجَيِّدَةَ الَّتِي أقسَمَ اللهُ لآبائِكُمْ بِأنْ يُعْطِيَها لَكُمْ،

And thou shalt do that which is right and good in the sight of the Lord: that it may be well with thee, and that thou mayest go in and possess the good land which the Lord sware unto thy fathers.

19 ب َعْدَ أنْ يَطْرَدَ أعداءَكُمْ مِنْ أمامِكُمْ، بِحَسَبِ ما وَعَدَكُمْ اللهُ. تَعلِيمُ الشَّرِيعَةِ للأبناء

To cast out all thine enemies from before thee, as the Lord hath spoken.

20 « وَفِي المُستَقبَلِ، حِينَ يَسألُكَ ابْنُكَ: ‹ما مَعنَى الأحكامِ وَالشَّرائِعِ وَالفَرائِضِ الَّتِي أوصاكُمْ إلهُنا بِها؟›

And when thy son asketh thee in time to come, saying, What mean the testimonies, and the statutes, and the judgments, which the Lord our God hath commanded you?

21 ق ُلْ لَهُ: ‹كُنّا عَبِيداً لِمَلِكِ مِصْرَ، لَكِنَّ اللهَ أخرَجَنا مِنها بِقُوَّتِهِ العَظِيمَةِ.

Then thou shalt say unto thy son, We were Pharaoh's bondmen in Egypt; and the Lord brought us out of Egypt with a mighty hand:

22 و َعَمِلَ اللهُ أمامَ عُيُونِنا آياتٍ وَعَجائِبَ عَظِيمَةً وَرَهِيبَةً ضِدَّ مِصْرَ وَمَلِكِها وَكُلِّ أهلِ بَيتِهِ.

And the Lord shewed signs and wonders, great and sore, upon Egypt, upon Pharaoh, and upon all his household, before our eyes:

23 و َأخرَجَنا مِنْ هُناكَ لِيُحضِرَنا إلَى الأرْضِ الَّتِي أقسَمَ لآبائِنا أنْ يُعطِيها لَنا.

And he brought us out from thence, that he might bring us in, to give us the land which he sware unto our fathers.

24 ف َأوصانا اللهُ أنْ نُطِيعَ كُلَّ هَذِهِ الشَّرائِعِ وَأنْ نَهابَ إلَهَنا. كُلُّ هَذا لِخَيرِنا دائِماً، وَلِكَيْ يَحفَظَنا أحياءً، كَما هُوَ الحالُ الآنَ.

And the Lord commanded us to do all these statutes, to fear the Lord our God, for our good always, that he might preserve us alive, as it is at this day.

25 و َسَنُحسَبُ أبْراراً إنْ حَرِصنا عَلَى إطاعَةِ جَمِيعِ هَذِهِ الوَصايا كَما أمَرَنا إلَهُنا.›»

And it shall be our righteousness, if we observe to do all these commandments before the Lord our God, as he hath commanded us.
