Deuteronomy 7

1 When the LORD your God brings you into the land that you are entering to possess, and He drives out before you many nations—the Hittites, Girgashites, Amorites, Canaanites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites, seven nations larger and stronger than you—

1 «مَتَى أَتَى بِكَ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكَ إِلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ ٱلَّتِي أَنْتَ دَاخِلٌ إِلَيْهَا لِتَمْتَلِكَهَا، وَطَرَدَ شُعُوبًا كَثِيرَةً مِنْ أَمَامِكَ: ٱلْحِثِّيِّينَ وَٱلْجِرْجَاشِيِّينَ وَٱلْأَمُورِيِّينَ وَٱلْكَنْعَانِيِّينَ وَٱلْفِرِزِّيِّينَ وَٱلْحِوِّيِّينَ وَٱلْيَبُوسِيِّينَ، سَبْعَ شُعُوبٍ أَكْثَرَ وَأَعْظَمَ مِنْكَ،

2 and when the LORD your God has delivered them over to you to defeat them, then you must devote them to complete destruction. Make no treaty with them and show them no mercy.

2 وَدَفَعَهُمُ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكَ أَمَامَكَ، وَضَرَبْتَهُمْ، فَإِنَّكَ تُحَرِّمُهُمْ. لَا تَقْطَعْ لَهُمْ عَهْدًا، وَلَا تُشْفِقْ عَلَيْهِمْ،

3 Do not intermarry with them. Do not give your daughters to their sons or take their daughters for your sons,

3 وَلَا تُصَاهِرْهُمْ. بِنْتَكَ لَا تُعْطِ لِٱبْنِهِ، وَبِنْتَهُ لَا تَأْخُذْ لِٱبْنِكَ.

4 because they will turn your sons away from following Me to serve other gods. Then the anger of the LORD will burn against you, and He will swiftly destroy you.

4 لِأَنَّهُ يَرُدُّ ٱبْنَكَ مِنْ وَرَائِي فَيَعْبُدُ آلِهَةً أُخْرَى، فَيَحْمَى غَضَبُ ٱلرَّبِّ عَلَيْكُمْ وَيُهْلِكُكُمْ سَرِيعًا.

5 Instead, this is what you are to do to them: tear down their altars, smash their sacred pillars, cut down their Asherah poles, and burn their idols in the fire.

5 وَلَكِنْ هَكَذَا تَفْعَلُونَ بِهِمْ: تَهْدِمُونَ مَذَابِحَهُمْ، وَتُكَسِّرُونَ أَنْصَابَهُمْ، وَتُقَطِّعُونَ سَوَارِيَهُمْ، وَتُحْرِقُونَ تَمَاثِيلَهُمْ بِٱلنَّارِ.

6 For you are a people holy to the LORD your God. The LORD your God has chosen you to be a people for His prized possession out of all peoples on the face of the earth.

6 لِأَنَّكَ أَنْتَ شَعْبٌ مُقَدَّسٌ لِلرَّبِّ إِلَهِكَ. إِيَّاكَ قَدِ ٱخْتَارَ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكَ لِتَكُونَ لَهُ شَعْبًا أَخَصَّ مِنْ جَمِيعِ ٱلشُّعُوبِ ٱلَّذِينَ عَلَى وَجْهِ ٱلْأَرْضِ،

7 The LORD did not set His affection on you and choose you because you were more numerous than the other peoples, for you were the fewest of all peoples.

7 لَيْسَ مِنْ كَوْنِكُمْ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ سَائِرِ ٱلشُّعُوبِ، ٱلْتَصَقَ ٱلرَّبُّ بِكُمْ وَٱخْتَارَكُمْ، لِأَنَّكُمْ أَقَلُّ مِنْ سَائِرِ ٱلشُّعُوبِ.

8 But because the LORD loved you and kept the oath He swore to your fathers, He brought you out with a mighty hand and redeemed you from the house of slavery, from the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt.

8 بَلْ مِنْ مَحَبَّةِ ٱلرَّبِّ إِيَّاكُمْ، وَحِفْظِهِ ٱلْقَسَمَ ٱلَّذِي أَقْسَمَ لِآبَائِكُمْ، أَخْرَجَكُمُ ٱلرَّبُّ بِيَدٍ شَدِيدَةٍ وَفَدَاكُمْ مِنْ بَيْتِ ٱلْعُبُودِيَّةِ مِنْ يَدِ فِرْعَوْنَ مَلِكِ مِصْرَ.

9 Know therefore that the LORD your God is God, the faithful God who keeps His covenant of loving devotion for a thousand generations of those who love Him and keep His commandments.

9 فَٱعْلَمْ أَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ إِلَهَكَ هُوَ ٱللهُ، ٱلْإِلَهُ ٱلْأَمِينُ، ٱلْحَافِظُ ٱلْعَهْدَ وَٱلْإِحْسَانَ لِلَّذِينَ يُحِبُّونَهُ وَيَحْفَظُونَ وَصَايَاهُ إِلَى أَلْفِ جِيلٍ،

10 But those who hate Him He repays to their faces with destruction; He will not hesitate to repay to his face the one who hates Him.

10 وَٱلْمُجَازِي ٱلَّذِينَ يُبْغِضُونَهُ بِوُجُوهِهِمْ لِيُهْلِكَهُمْ. لَا يُمْهِلُ مَنْ يُبْغِضُهُ. بِوَجْهِهِ يُجَازِيهِ.

11 So keep the commandments and statutes and ordinances that I am giving you to follow this day.

11 فَٱحْفَظِ ٱلْوَصَايَا وَٱلْفَرَائِضَ وَٱلْأَحْكَامَ ٱلَّتِي أَنَا أُوصِيكَ ٱلْيَوْمَ لِتَعْمَلَهَا.

12 If you listen to these ordinances and keep them carefully, then the LORD your God will keep His covenant and the loving devotion that He swore to your fathers.

12 «وَمِنْ أَجْلِ أَنَّكُمْ تَسْمَعُونَ هَذِهِ ٱلْأَحْكَامَ وَتَحْفَظُونَ وَتَعْمَلُونَهَا، يَحْفَظُ لَكَ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكَ ٱلْعَهْدَ وَٱلْإِحْسَانَ ٱللَّذَيْنِ أَقْسَمَ لِآبَائِكَ،

13 He will love you and bless you and multiply you. He will bless the fruit of your womb and the produce of your land—your grain, new wine, and oil, the young of your herds and the lambs of your flocks—in the land that He swore to your fathers to give you.

13 وَيُحِبُّكَ وَيُبَارِكُكَ وَيُكَثِّرُكَ وَيُبَارِكُ ثَمَرَةَ بَطْنِكَ وَثَمَرَةَ أَرْضِكَ: قَمْحَكَ وَخَمْرَكَ وَزَيْتَكَ وَنِتَاجَ بَقَرِكَ وَإِنَاثَ غَنَمِكَ، عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ ٱلَّتِي أَقْسَمَ لِآبَائِكَ أَنَّهُ يُعْطِيكَ إِيَّاهَا.

14 You will be blessed above all peoples; among you there will be no barren man or woman or livestock.

14 مُبَارَكًا تَكُونُ فَوْقَ جَمِيعِ ٱلشُّعُوبِ. لَا يَكُونُ عَقِيمٌ وَلَا عَاقِرٌ فِيكَ وَلَا فِي بَهَائِمِكَ.

15 And the LORD will remove from you all sickness. He will not lay upon you any of the terrible diseases you knew in Egypt, but He will inflict them on all who hate you.

15 وَيَرُدُّ ٱلرَّبُّ عَنْكَ كُلَّ مَرَضٍ، وَكُلَّ أَدْوَاءِ مِصْرَ ٱلرَّدِيئَةِ ٱلَّتِي عَرَفْتَهَا لَا يَضَعُهَا عَلَيْكَ، بَلْ يَجْعَلُهَا عَلَى كُلِّ مُبْغِضِيكَ.

16 You must destroy all the peoples the LORD your God will deliver to you. Do not look on them with pity. Do not worship their gods, for that will be a snare to you.

16 وَتَأْكُلُ كُلَّ ٱلشُّعُوبِ ٱلَّذِينَ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكَ يَدْفَعُ إِلَيْكَ. لَا تُشْفِقْ عَيْنَاكَ عَلَيْهِمْ وَلَا تَعْبُدْ آلِهَتَهُمْ، لِأَنَّ ذَلِكَ شَرَكٌ لَكَ.

17 You may say in your heart, “These nations are greater than we are; how can we drive them out?”

17 إِنْ قُلْتَ فِي قَلْبِكَ: هَؤُلَاءِ ٱلشُّعُوبُ أَكْثَرُ مِنِّي. كَيْفَ أَقْدِرُ أَنْ أَطْرُدَهُمْ؟

18 But do not be afraid of them. Be sure to remember what the LORD your God did to Pharaoh and all Egypt:

18 فَلَا تَخَفْ مِنْهُمُ. ٱذْكُرْ مَا فَعَلَهُ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكَ بِفِرْعَوْنَ وَبِجَمِيعِ ٱلْمِصْرِيِّينَ.

19 the great trials that you saw, the signs and wonders, and the mighty hand and outstretched arm by which the LORD your God brought you out. The LORD your God will do the same to all the peoples you now fear.

19 ٱلتَّجَارِبَ ٱلْعَظِيمَةَ ٱلَّتِي أَبْصَرَتْهَا عَيْنَاكَ، وَٱلْآيَاتِ وَٱلْعَجَائِبَ وَٱلْيَدَ ٱلشَّدِيدَةَ وَٱلذِّرَاعَ ٱلرَّفِيعَةَ ٱلَّتِي بِهَا أَخْرَجَكَ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكَ. هَكَذَا يَفْعَلُ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكَ بِجَمِيعِ ٱلشُّعُوبِ ٱلَّتِي أَنْتَ خَائِفٌ مِنْ وَجْهِهَا.

20 Moreover, the LORD your God will send the hornet against them until even the survivors hiding from you have perished.

20 «وَٱلزَّنَابِيرُ أَيْضًا يُرْسِلُهَا ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكَ عَلَيْهِمْ حَتَّى يَفْنَى ٱلْبَاقُونَ وَٱلْمُخْتَفُونَ مِنْ أَمَامِكَ.

21 Do not be terrified by them, for the LORD your God, who is among you, is a great and awesome God.

21 لَا تَرْهَبْ وُجُوهَهُمْ، لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ إِلَهَكَ فِي وَسَطِكَ إِلَهٌ عَظِيمٌ وَمَخُوفٌ.

22 The LORD your God will drive out these nations before you little by little. You will not be enabled to eliminate them all at once, or the wild animals would multiply around you.

22 وَلَكِنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ إِلَهَكَ يَطْرُدُ هَؤُلَاءِ ٱلشُّعُوبَ مِنْ أَمَامِكَ قَلِيلًا قَلِيلًا. لَا تَسْتَطِيعُ أَنْ تُفْنِيَهُمْ سَرِيعًا، لِئَلَّا تَكْثُرَ عَلَيْكَ وُحُوشُ ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ.

23 But the LORD your God will give them over to you and throw them into great confusion, until they are destroyed.

23 وَيَدْفَعُهُمُ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكَ أَمَامَكَ وَيُوقِعُ بِهِمِ ٱضْطِرَابًا عَظِيمًا حَتَّى يَفْنَوْا.

24 He will hand their kings over to you, and you will wipe out their names from under heaven. No one will be able to stand against you; you will annihilate them.

24 وَيَدْفَعُ مُلُوكَهُمْ إِلَى يَدِكَ، فَتَمْحُو ٱسْمَهُمْ مِنْ تَحْتِ ٱلسَّمَاءِ. لَا يَقِفُ إِنْسَانٌ فِي وَجْهِكَ حَتَّى تُفْنِيَهُمْ.

25 You must burn up the images of their gods; do not covet the silver and gold that is on them or take it for yourselves, or you will be ensnared by it; for it is detestable to the LORD your God.

25 وَتَمَاثِيلَ آلِهَتِهِمْ تُحْرِقُونَ بِٱلنَّارِ. لَا تَشْتَهِ فِضَّةً وَلَا ذَهَبًا مِمَّا عَلَيْهَا لِتَأْخُذَ لَكَ، لِئَلَّا تُصَادَ بِهِ لِأَنَّهُ رِجْسٌ عِنْدَ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِكَ.

26 And you must not bring any detestable thing into your house, or you, like it, will be set apart for destruction. You are to utterly detest and abhor it, because it is set apart for destruction.

26 وَلَا تُدْخِلْ رِجْسًا إِلَى بَيْتِكَ لِئَلَّا تَكُونَ مُحَرَّمًا مِثْلَهُ. تَسْتَقْبِحُهُ وَتَكْرَهُهُ لِأَنَّهُ مُحَرَّمٌ.
