1 N ow this is the commandment, the statutes, and the ordinances, which Yahweh your God commanded to teach you, that you might do them in the land where you go over to possess it;

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

2 t hat you might fear Yahweh your God, to keep all his statutes and his commandments, which I command you; you, and your son, and your son’s son, 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 H ear therefore, Israel, and observe to do it; that it may be well with you, and that you may increase mightily, as Yahweh, the God of your fathers, has promised to you, in 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 H ear, Israel: Yahweh is our God. Yahweh is one.

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

5 Y ou shall love Yahweh your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your might.

فَتُحِبَّ إلَهَكَ بِكُلِّ قَلبِكَ، وَبِكُلِّ نَفسِكَ، وَبِكُلِّ قُوَّتِكَ.

6 T hese words, which I command you today, shall be on your heart;

تَذَكَّرُوا دائِماً هَذِهِ الوَصايا الَّتِي أُعطِيها لَكُمُ اليَومَ.

7 a nd you shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, and when you walk by the way, and 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 for a sign on your hand, and they shall be for frontlets between your eyes.

اكتُبُوها وَاربِطُوها عَلامَةً عَلَى أيدِيكُمْ، وَالبَسُوها كَعُصابَةٍ عَلَى جِباهِكُمْ.

9 Y ou shall write them on the door posts of your house, and on your gates.

اكتُبُوها عَلَى دَعائِمِ أبوابِ بُيُوتِكُمْ وَبَوّاباتِ مَدِينَتِكُمْ.

10 I t shall be, when Yahweh your God brings you into the land which he swore to your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give you, great and goodly cities, which you didn’t build,

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

11 a nd houses full of all good things, which you didn’t fill, and cisterns dug out, which you didn’t dig, vineyards and olive trees, which you didn’t plant, and you shall eat and be 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 Yahweh, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.

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

13 Y ou shall fear Yahweh your God; and you shall serve him, and shall swear by his name.

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

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

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

15 f or Yahweh your God among you is a jealous God; lest the anger of Yahweh your God be kindled against you, and he destroy you from off the face of the earth.

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

16 Y ou shall not tempt Yahweh your God, as you tempted him in Massah.

«لا تَمتَحِنُوا إلَهَكُمْ ، كَما امْتَحَنْتُمُوهُ فِي مَسَّةَ.

17 Y ou shall diligently keep the commandments of Yahweh your God, and his testimonies, and his statutes, which he has commanded you.

بَلِ احفَظُوا وَصايا إلَهِكُمْ وَأحكامَهُ وَشَرائِعَهُ الَّتِي أوصاكُمْ بِها،

18 Y ou shall do that which is right and good in Yahweh’s sight; that it may be well with you, and that you may go in and possess the good land which Yahweh swore to your fathers,

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

19 t o thrust out all your enemies from before you, as Yahweh has spoken.

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

20 W hen your son asks you in time to come, saying, “What do the testimonies, the statutes, and the ordinances, which Yahweh our God has commanded you mean?”

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

21 t hen you shall tell your son, “We were Pharaoh’s slaves in Egypt. Yahweh brought us out of Egypt with a mighty hand;

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

22 a nd Yahweh showed great and awesome signs and wonders on Egypt, on Pharaoh, and on all his house, before our eyes;

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

23 a nd he brought us out from there, that he might bring us in, to give us the land which he swore to our fathers.

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

24 Y ahweh commanded us to do all these statutes, to fear Yahweh our God, for our good always, that he might preserve us alive, as we are today.

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

25 I t shall be righteousness to us, if we observe to do all this commandment before Yahweh our God, as he has commanded us.”

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