1 “ Now this is the commandment, and these are the statutes and judgments which the Lord your God has commanded to teach you, that you may observe them in the land which you are crossing over to possess,

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

2 t hat you may fear the Lord your God, to keep all His statutes and His commandments which I command you, you and your son and your grandson, all the days of your life, and that your days may be prolonged.

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

3 T herefore hear, O Israel, and be careful to observe it, that it may be well with you, and that you may multiply greatly as the Lord God of your fathers has promised you—‘a land flowing with milk and honey.’

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

4 “ Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one!

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

5 Y ou shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your strength.

فَتُحِبَّ إلَهَكَ بِكُلِّ قَلبِكَ، وَبِكُلِّ نَفسِكَ، وَبِكُلِّ قُوَّتِكَ.

6 “ And these words which I command you today shall be in your heart.

تَذَكَّرُوا دائِماً هَذِهِ الوَصايا الَّتِي أُعطِيها لَكُمُ اليَومَ.

7 Y ou shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, when you walk by the way, when you lie down, and when you rise up.

عَلِّمُوها لِأولادِكُمْ، تَكَلَّمُوا عَنها فِي بُيُوتِكُمْ وَخارِجَ بُيوتِكُمْ، وَحِينَ تَنامُونَ، وَحِينَ تَنهَضُونَ.

8 Y ou shall bind them as a sign on your hand, and they shall be as frontlets between your eyes.

اكتُبُوها وَاربِطُوها عَلامَةً عَلَى أيدِيكُمْ، وَالبَسُوها كَعُصابَةٍ عَلَى جِباهِكُمْ.

9 Y ou shall write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates. Caution Against Disobedience

اكتُبُوها عَلَى دَعائِمِ أبوابِ بُيُوتِكُمْ وَبَوّاباتِ مَدِينَتِكُمْ.

10 “ So it shall be, when the Lord your God brings you into the land of which He swore to your fathers, to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, to give you large and beautiful cities which you did not build,

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

11 h ouses full of all good things, which you did not fill, hewn-out wells which you did not dig, vineyards and olive trees which you did not plant—when you have eaten and are full—

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

12 t hen beware, lest you forget the Lord who brought you out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage.

لا تَنسَوا اللهَ الَّذِي أخرَجَكُمْ مِنْ أرْضِ مِصْرَ حَيثُ كُنتُمْ فِي العُبُودِيَّةِ.

13 Y ou shall fear the Lord your God and serve Him, and shall take oaths in His name.

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

14 Y ou shall not go after other gods, the gods of the peoples who are all around you

لا تَسِيرُوا وَراءَ آلِهَةٍ أُخْرَى مِنْ آلِهَةِ الشُّعُوبِ الَّتِي مِنْ حَولِكُمْ،

15 ( for the Lord your God is a jealous God among you), lest the anger of the Lord your God be aroused against you and destroy you from the face of the earth.

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

16 “ You shall not tempt the Lord your God as you tempted Him in Massah.

«لا تَمتَحِنُوا إلَهَكُمْ ، كَما امْتَحَنْتُمُوهُ فِي مَسَّةَ.

17 Y ou shall diligently keep the commandments of the Lord your God, His testimonies, and His statutes which He has commanded you.

بَلِ احفَظُوا وَصايا إلَهِكُمْ وَأحكامَهُ وَشَرائِعَهُ الَّتِي أوصاكُمْ بِها،

18 A nd you shall do what is right and good in the sight of the Lord, that it may be well with you, and that you may go in and possess the good land of which the Lord swore to your fathers,

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

19 t o cast out all your enemies from before you, as the Lord has spoken.

بَعْدَ أنْ يَطْرَدَ أعداءَكُمْ مِنْ أمامِكُمْ، بِحَسَبِ ما وَعَدَكُمْ اللهُ. تَعلِيمُ الشَّرِيعَةِ للأبناء

20 “ When your son asks you in time to come, saying, ‘What is the meaning of the testimonies, the statutes, and the judgments which the Lord our God has commanded you?’

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

21 t hen you shall say to your son: ‘We were slaves of Pharaoh in Egypt, and the Lord brought us out of Egypt with a mighty hand;

قُلْ لَهُ: ‹كُنّا عَبِيداً لِمَلِكِ مِصْرَ، لَكِنَّ اللهَ أخرَجَنا مِنها بِقُوَّتِهِ العَظِيمَةِ.

22 a nd the Lord showed signs and wonders before our eyes, great and severe, against Egypt, Pharaoh, and all his household.

وَعَمِلَ اللهُ أمامَ عُيُونِنا آياتٍ وَعَجائِبَ عَظِيمَةً وَرَهِيبَةً ضِدَّ مِصْرَ وَمَلِكِها وَكُلِّ أهلِ بَيتِهِ.

23 T hen He brought us out from there, that He might bring us in, to give us the land of which He swore to our fathers.

وَأخرَجَنا مِنْ هُناكَ لِيُحضِرَنا إلَى الأرْضِ الَّتِي أقسَمَ لآبائِنا أنْ يُعطِيها لَنا.

24 A nd the Lord commanded us to observe all these statutes, to fear the Lord our God, for our good always, that He might preserve us alive, as it is this day.

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

25 T hen it will be righteousness for us, if we are careful to observe all these commandments before the Lord our God, as He has commanded us.’

وَسَنُحسَبُ أبْراراً إنْ حَرِصنا عَلَى إطاعَةِ جَمِيعِ هَذِهِ الوَصايا كَما أمَرَنا إلَهُنا.›»
