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 ٱلْوَصَايَا وَٱلْفَرَائِضُ وَٱلْأَحْكَامُ ٱلَّتِي أَمَرَ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكُمْ أَنْ أُعَلِّمَكُمْ لِتَعْمَلُوهَا فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ ٱلَّتِي أَنْتُمْ عَابِرُونَ إِلَيْهَا لِتَمْتَلِكُوهَا،

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 لِكَيْ تَتَّقِيَ ٱلرَّبَّ إِلَهَكَ وَتَحْفَظَ جَمِيعَ فَرَائِضِهِ وَوَصَايَاهُ ٱلَّتِي أَنَا أُوصِيكَ بِهَا، أَنْتَ وَٱبْنُكَ وَٱبْنُ ٱبْنِكَ كُلَّ أَيَّامِ حَيَاتِكَ، وَلِكَيْ تَطُولَ 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 فَٱسْمَعْ يَا إِسْرَائِيلُ وَٱحْتَرِزْ لِتَعْمَلَ، لِكَيْ يَكُونَ لَكَ خَيْرٌ وَتَكْثُرَ جِدًّا، كَمَا كَلَّمَكَ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُ آبَائِكَ فِي أَرْضٍ تَفِيضُ لَبَنًا وَعَسَلًا.

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

4 «اِسْمَعْ يَا إِسْرَائِيلُ: ٱلرَّبُّ 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 فَتُحِبُّ ٱلرَّبَّ إِلَهَكَ مِنْ كُلِّ قَلْبِكَ وَمِنْ كُلِّ نَفْسِكَ وَمِنْ كُلِّ قُوَّتِكَ.

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

6 وَلْتَكُنْ هَذِهِ ٱلْكَلِمَاتُ ٱلَّتِي أَنَا أُوصِيكَ بِهَا ٱلْيَوْمَ عَلَى قَلْبِكَ،

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 وَقُصَّهَا عَلَى أَوْلَادِكَ، وَتَكَلَّمْ بِهَا حِينَ تَجْلِسُ فِي بَيْتِكَ، وَحِينَ تَمْشِي فِي ٱلطَّرِيقِ، وَحِينَ تَنَامُ وَحِينَ تَقُومُ،

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

8 وَٱرْبُطْهَا عَلَامَةً عَلَى يَدِكَ، وَلْتَكُنْ عَصَائِبَ بَيْنَ عَيْنَيْكَ،

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

9 وَٱكْتُبْهَا عَلَى قَوَائِمِ أَبْوَابِ بَيْتِكَ وَعَلَى أَبْوَابِكَ.

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 أَتَى بِكَ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكَ إِلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ ٱلَّتِي حَلَفَ لِآبَائِكَ إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَإِسْحَاقَ وَيَعْقُوبَ أَنْ يُعْطِيَكَ، إِلَى مُدُنٍ عَظِيمَةٍ جَيِّدَةٍ لَمْ تَبْنِهَا،

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 وَبُيُوتٍ مَمْلُوءَةٍ كُلَّ خَيْرٍ لَمْ تَمْلَأْهَا، وَأَبَآرٍ مَحْفُورَةٍ لَمْ تَحْفِرْهَا، وَكُرُومٍ وَزَيْتُونٍ لَمْ تَغْرِسْهَا، وَأَكَلْتَ وَشَبِعْتَ،

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

12 فَٱحْتَرِزْ لِئَلَّا تَنْسَى ٱلرَّبَّ ٱلَّذِي أَخْرَجَكَ مِنْ أَرْضِ مِصْرَ مِنْ بَيْتِ ٱلْعُبُودِيَّةِ.

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

13 ٱلرَّبَّ إِلَهَكَ تَتَّقِي، وَإِيَّاهُ تَعْبُدُ، وَبِٱسْمِهِ تَحْلِفُ.

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

14 لَا تَسِيرُوا وَرَاءَ آلِهَةٍ أُخْرَى مِنْ آلِهَةِ ٱلْأُمَمِ ٱلَّتِي حَوْلَكُمْ،

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 لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ إِلَهَكُمْ إِلَهٌ غَيُورٌ فِي وَسَطِكُمْ، لِئَلَّا يَحْمَى غَضَبُ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِكُمْ عَلَيْكُمْ فَيُبِيدَكُمْ عَنْ وَجْهِ ٱلْأَرْضِ.

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

16 لَا تُجَرِّبُوا ٱلرَّبَّ إِلَهَكُمْ كَمَا جَرَّبْتُمُوهُ 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 ٱحْفَظُوا وَصَايَا ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِكُمْ وَشَهَادَاتِهِ وَفَرَائِضِهِ ٱلَّتِي أَوْصَاكُمْ بِهَا.

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 وَٱعْمَلِ ٱلصَّالِحَ وَٱلْحَسَنَ فِي عَيْنَيِ ٱلرَّبِّ، لِكَيْ يَكُونَ لَكَ خَيْرٌ، وَتَدْخُلَ وَتَمْتَلِكَ ٱلْأَرْضَ ٱلْجَيِّدَةَ ٱلَّتِي حَلَفَ ٱلرَّبُّ لِآبَائِكَ

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

19 أَنْ يَنْفِيَ جَمِيعَ أَعْدَائِكَ مِنْ أَمَامِكَ. كَمَا تَكَلَّمَ ٱلرَّبُّ.

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 «إِذَا سَأَلَكَ ٱبْنُكَ غَدًا قَائِلًا: مَا هِيَ ٱلشَّهَادَاتُ وَٱلْفَرَائِضُ وَٱلْأَحْكَامُ ٱلَّتِي أَوْصَاكُمْ بِهَا ٱلرَّبُّ 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 تَقُولُ لِٱبْنِكَ: كُنَّا عَبِيدًا لِفِرْعَوْنَ فِي مِصْرَ، فَأَخْرَجَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ مِنْ مِصْرَ بِيَدٍ شَدِيدَةٍ.

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

22 وَصَنَعَ ٱلرَّبُّ آيَاتٍ وَعَجَائِبَ عَظِيمَةً وَرَدِيئَةً بِمِصْرَ، بِفِرْعَوْنَ وَجَمِيعِ بَيْتِهِ أَمَامَ أَعْيُنِنَا

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 وَأَخْرَجَنَا مِنْ هُنَاكَ لِكَيْ يَأْتِيَ بِنَا وَيُعْطِيَنَا ٱلْأَرْضَ ٱلَّتِي حَلَفَ لِآبَائِنَا.

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 ٱلرَّبُّ أَنْ نَعْمَلَ جَمِيعَ هَذِهِ ٱلْفَرَائِضَ وَنَتَّقِيَ ٱلرَّبَّ إِلَهَنَا، لِيَكُونَ لَنَا خَيْرٌ كُلَّ ٱلْأَيَّامِ، وَيَسْتَبْقِيَنَا كَمَا فِي هَذَا ٱلْيَوْمِ.

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 وَإِنَّهُ يَكُونُ لَنَا بِرٌّ إِذَا حَفِظْنَا جَمِيعَ هَذِهِ ٱلْوَصَايَا لِنَعْمَلَهَا أَمَامَ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِنَا كَمَا أَوْصَانَا.
