Deuteronomy 6

1 These are the commandments and statutes and ordinances that the LORD your God has instructed me to teach you to follow in the land that you are about to enter and possess,

1 وَهَذِهِ هِيَ الْوَصَايَا وَالْفَرَائِضُ وَالأَحْكَامُ الَّتِي أَمَرَنِي الرَّبُّ إِلَهُكُمْ أَنْ أُلَقِّنَكُمْ إِيَّاهَا، لِتَعْمَلُوا بِها فِي الأَرْضِ الَّتِي أَنْتُمْ مَاضُونَ إِلَيْهَا لِتَرِثُوهَا.

2 so that you and your children and grandchildren may fear the LORD your God all the days of your lives by keeping all His statutes and commandments that I give you, and so that your days may be prolonged.

2 وَبِذَلِكَ تَتَّقِي الرَّبَّ إِلَهَكَ وَتُمَارِسُ جَمِيعَ فَرَائِضِهِ وَوَصَايَاهُ الَّتِي أَنَا أُوصِيكَ بِها أَنْتَ وَابْنُكَ وَحَفِيدُكَ كُلَّ أَيَّامِ حَيَاتِكَ فَتَطُولُ أَيَّامُكَ.

3 Hear, O Israel, and be careful to observe them, so that you may prosper and multiply greatly in a land flowing with milk and honey, just as the LORD, the God of your fathers, has promised you.

3 فَأَنْصِتُوا يَا بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ وَاحْرِصُوا عَلَى الْعَمَلِ بِها فَتَزْدَهِرُوا وَتَتَكَاثَرُوا جِدّاً فِي أَرْضٍ تَفِيضُ لَبَناً وَعَسَلاً، كَمَا وَعَدَكُمُ الرَّبُّ إِلَهُ آبَائِكُمْ.

4 Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God, the LORD is One.

4 اسْمَعُوا يَا بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ: الرَّبُّ إِلَهُنَا رَبٌّ وَاحِدٌ،

5 And you shall love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength.

5 فَأَحِبُّوا الرَّبَّ إِلَهَكُمْ مِنْ كُلِّ قُلُوبِكُمْ وَنُفُوسِكُمْ وَقوَّتِكُمْ.

6 These words I am commanding you today are to be upon your hearts.

6 وَضَعُوا هَذِهِ الْكَلِمَاتِ الَّتِي أُوصِيكُمْ بِها عَلَى قُلُوبِكُمْ،

7 And you shall teach them diligently to your children and speak of them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up.

7 وَقُصُّوهَا عَلَى أَوْلادِكُمْ، وَتَحَدَّثُوا بِها حِينَ تَجْلِسُونَ فِي بُيُوتِكُمْ، وَحِينَ تَسِيرُونَ فِي الطَّرِيقِ، وَحِينَ تَنَامُونَ، وَحِينَ تَنْهَضُونَ.

8 Tie them as reminders on your hands and bind them on your foreheads.

8 ارْبُطُوهَا عَلامَةً عَلَى أَيْدِيكُمْ، وَاجْعَلُوهَا عَصَائِبَ عَلَى جِبَاهِكُمْ.

9 Write them on the doorposts of your houses and on your gates.

9 اكْتُبُوهَا عَلَى قَوَائِمِ أَبْوَابِ بُيُوتِكُمْ وَبَوَّابَاتِ مُدُنِكُمْ.

10 And when the LORD your God brings you into the land He swore to your fathers, to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, that He would give you—a land with great and splendid cities that you did not build,

10 وَمَتَى أَدْخَلَكُمُ الرَّبُّ إِلَهُكُمْ إِلَى الأَرْضِ الَّتِي أَقْسَمَ لِآبَائِكُمْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَإِسْحَاقَ وَيَعْقُوبَ أَنْ يَهَبَهَا لَكُمْ، حَيْثُ تَنْتَشِرُ مُدُنٌ عَظِيمَةٌ لَمْ تَبْنُوهَا،

11 with houses full of every good thing with which you did not fill them, with wells that you did not dig, and with vineyards and olive groves that you did not plant—and when you eat and are satisfied,

11 وَبُيُوتٌ عَامِرَةٌ بِخَيْرَاتٍ لَمْ تَخْزِنُوهَا، وَآبَارٌ مَحْفُورَةٌ لَمْ تَحْفُرُوهَا، وَأَشْجَارُ كُرُومٍ وَزَيْتُونٍ لَمْ تَغْرِسُوهَا، فَأَكَلْتُمْ وَشَبِعْتُمْ،

12 be careful not to forget the LORD who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery.

12 فَإِيَّاكُمْ أَنْ تَنْسَوْا الرَّبَّ إِلَهَكُمُ الَّذِي أَطْلَقَكُمْ مِنْ عُبُودِيَّةِ دِيَارِ مِصْرَ.

13 Fear the LORD your God, serve Him only, and take your oaths in His name.

13 فَالرَّبَّ إِلَهَكُمْ تَتَّقُونَ، وَإِيَّاهُ تَعْبُدُونَ، وَبِاسْمِهِ تَحْلِفُونَ.

14 Do not follow other gods, the gods of the peoples around you.

14 لَا تَسِيرُوا خَلْفَ آلِهَةٍ أُخْرَى مِنْ آلِهَةِ الأُمَمِ الْمُحِيطَةِ بِكُمْ،

15 For the LORD your God, who is among you, is a jealous God. Otherwise the anger of the LORD your God will be kindled against you, and He will wipe you off the face of the earth.

15 لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ إِلَهَكُمْ إِلَهٌ غَيُورٌ حَالٌّ فِي وَسَطِكُمْ، فَيَحْتَدِمَ غَضَبُهُ عَلَيْكُمْ وَيُبِيدَكُمْ عَنْ وَجْهِ الأَرْضِ.

16 Do not test the LORD your God as you tested Him at Massah.

16 لَا تَمْتَحِنُوا صَبْرَ الرَّبِّ إِلَهِكُمْ، كَمَا امْتَحَنْتُمُوهُ فِي مَسَّةَ.

17 You are to diligently keep the commandments of the LORD your God and the testimonies and statutes He has given you.

17 بَلِ احْفَظُوا وَصَايَا الرَّبِّ وَشُرُوطَهُ وَأَحْكَامَهُ الَّتِي أَمَرَكُمْ بِها،

18 Do what is right and good in the sight of the LORD, so that it may be well with you and that you may enter and possess the good land that the LORD your God swore to give your fathers,

18 وَاصْنَعُوا مَا هُوَ صَالِحٌ وَمَرْضِيٌّ لَدَى الرَّبِّ لِتَزْدَهِرُوا وَتَدْخُلُوا وَتَرِثُوا الأَرْضَ الَّتِي أَقْسَمَ الرَّبُّ لِآبَائِكُمْ،

19 driving out all your enemies before you, as the LORD has said.

19 أَنْ يَطْرُدَ جَمِيعَ أَعْدَائِكُمْ مِنْ أَمَامِكُمْ.

20 In the future, when your son asks, “What is the meaning of the decrees and statutes and ordinances that the LORD our God has commanded you?”

20 وَإذَا سَأَلَكُمْ أَبْنَاؤُكُمْ فِي مُسْتَقْبَلِ الأَيَّامِ: مَا هِيَ الشُّرُوطُ وَالْفَرَائِضُ وَالأَحْكَامُ الَّتِي أَمَرَكُمْ بِها الرَّبُّ إِلَهُنَا؟

21 then you are to tell him, “We were slaves of Pharaoh in Egypt, but the LORD brought us out of Egypt with a mighty hand.

21 تُجِيبُونَهُمْ: لَقَدْ كُنَّا عَبِيداً لِفِرْعَوْنَ فِي مِصْرَ، فَأَخْرَجَنَا الرَّبُّ بِقُوَّةٍ فَائِقَةٍ،

22 Before our eyes the LORD inflicted great and devastating signs and wonders on Egypt, on Pharaoh, and on all his household.

22 وَأَجْرَى الرَّبُّ آيَاتٍ وَعَجَائِبَ عَظِيمَةً وَمُهْلِكَةً بِمِصْرَ عَلَى فِرْعَوْنَ وَجَمِيعِ أَهْلِ بَيْتِهِ عَلَى مَرْأَى مِنَّا.

23 But He brought us out from there to lead us in and give us the land that He had sworn to our fathers.

23 ثُمَّ أَخْرَجَنَا مِنْ هُنَاكَ لِيَأْتِيَ بِنَا وَيُوَرِّثَنَا الأَرْضَ الَّتِي أَقْسَمَ لِآبَائِنَا أَنْ يَهَبَهَا لَنَا.

24 And the LORD commanded us to observe all these statutes and to fear the LORD our God, that we may always be prosperous and preserved, as we are to this day.

24 فَأَمَرَنَا الرَّبُّ أَنْ نُمَارِسَ جَمِيعَ هَذِهِ الْفَرَائِضِ وَنَتَّقِيَهُ لِنَزْدَهِرَ دَائِماً وَنَظَلَّ أَحْيَاءَ كَمَا فِي هَذَا الْيَوْمِ.

25 And if we are careful to observe every one of these commandments before the LORD our God, as He has commanded us, then that will be our righteousness.”

25 وَإذَا أَطَعْنَا جَمِيعَ هَذِهِ الْوَصَايَا بِحِرْصٍ لِنُمَارِسَهَا أَمَامَ الرَّبِّ إِلَهِنَا كَمَا أَمَرَنَا، يَكُونُ لَنَا بِرٌّ.
