Deuteronomy 26

1 It shall be, when you have come in to the land which Jehovah your God gives you for an inheritance, and possess it, and dwell in it,

١ وَمَتَى بَلَغْتُمُ الأَرْضَ الَّتِي يَهَبُهَا الرَّبُّ إِلَهُكُمْ لَكُمْ مِيرَاثاً وَامْتَلَكْتُمُوهَا وَاسْتَوْطَنْتُمْ فِيهَا،

2 that you shall take of the first of all the fruit of the ground, which you shall bring in from your land that Jehovah your God gives you; and you shall put it in a basket, and shall go to the place which Jehovah your God shall choose, to cause his name to dwell there.

٢ فَاجْمَعُوا مِنْ أَوَّلِ كُلِّ ثَمَرٍ تُغِلُّهُ أَرْضُكُمُ الَّتِي يَهَبُهَا الرَّبُّ إِلَهُكُمْ لَكُمْ، وَضَعُوهُ فِي سِلالٍ، وَامْضُوا إِلَى الْمَوْضِعِ الَّذِي يَخْتَارُهُ الرَّبُّ إِلَهُكُمْ لِيُحِلَّ فِيهِ اسْمَهُ.

3 You shall come to the priest who shall be in those days, and tell him, "I profess this day to Jehovah my God, that I have come into the land which Jehovah swore to our fathers to give us."

٣ وَيَأْتِي صَاحِبُ التَّقْدِمَةِ إِلَى الْكَاهِنِ الْمُعَيَّنِ وَيَقُولُ: أَعْتَرِفُ الْيَوْمَ لِلرَّبِّ إِلَهِكَ أَنِّي قَدْ جِئْتُ إِلَى الأَرْضِ الَّتِي حَلَفَ الرَّبُّ لِآبَائِنَا أَنْ يَهَبَهَا لَنَا.

4 The priest shall take the basket out of your hand, and set it down before the altar of Jehovah your God.

٤ فَيَتَنَاوَلُ الْكَاهِنُ السَّلَّةَ مِنْ يَدِهِ وَيَضَعُهَا أَمَامَ مَذْبَحِ الرَّبِّ إِلَهِكُمْ،

5 You shall answer and say before Jehovah your God, "A wandering Aramean was my father, and he went down into Egypt, and lived there, few in number, and there he became a nation, great, mighty, and numerous.

٥ ثُمَّ يُعْلِنُ صَاحِبُ التَّقْدِمَةِ قَائِلاً أَمَامَ الرَّبِّ إِلَهِكُمْ: كَانَ أَبِي أَرَامِيًّا تَائِهاً، ثُمَّ انْحَدَرَ إِلَى مِصْرَ وَتَغَرَّبَ هُنَاكَ، وَمَعَهُ نَفَرٌ قَلِيلٌ. وَلَكِنَّهُ أَصْبَحَ هُنَاكَ أُمَّةً كَبِيرَةً عَظِيمَةً.

6 The Egyptians mistreated us, and afflicted us, and laid on us hard bondage:

٦ فَأَسَاءَ إِلَيْنَا الْمِصْرِيُّونَ وَأَرْهَقُونَا وَقَسَوْا عَلَيْنَا فِي اسْتِعْبَادِهِمْ،

7 and we cried to Jehovah, the God of our fathers, and Jehovah heard our voice, and saw our affliction, and our toil, and our oppression;

٧ فَصَرَخْنَا إِلَى الرَّبِّ إِلَهِ آبَائِنَا، فَاسْتَجَابَ لَنَا وَرَأَى بُؤْسَنَا وَتَعَبَنَا وَضِيقَنَا،

8 and Jehovah brought us forth out of Egypt with a mighty hand, and with an outstretched arm, and with great terror, and with signs, and with wonders;

٨ فَأَخْرَجَنَا مِنْ دِيَارِ مِصْرَ بِقُوَّةٍ شَدِيدَةٍ وَقُدْرَةٍ فَائِقَةٍ، وَوَيْلاتٍ عَظِيمَةٍ وَآيَاتٍ وَعَجَائِبَ،

9 and he has brought us into this place, and has given us this land, a land flowing with milk and honey.

٩ وَأَدْخَلَنَا إِلَى هَذَا الْمَكَانِ، وَوَهَبَنَا هَذِهِ الأَرْضَ الَّتِي تَفِيضُ لَبَناً وَعَسَلاً.

10 Now, look, I have brought the first of the fruit of the ground, which you, Jehovah, have given me." You shall set it down before Jehovah your God, and worship before Jehovah your God.

١٠ فَهَا أَنَا الآنَ قَدْ أَتَيْتُ بِأَوَّلِ ثَمَرِ الأَرْضِ الَّتِي وَهَبْتَنِي يَا رَبُّ ثُمَّ يَضَعُهُ أَمَامَ الرَّبِّ إِلَهِكُمْ وَيَسْجُدُ فِي حَضْرَتِهِ،

11 And you shall rejoice in all the good which Jehovah your God has given to you and to your house, you, and the Levite, and the foreigner who is among you.

١١ وَيَحْتَفِلُ بِجَمِيعِ الْخَيْرِ الَّذِي أَنْعَمَ بِهِ الرَّبُّ إِلَهُكُمْ عَلَيْهِ وَعَلَى أَهْلِ بَيْتِهِ، هُوَ وَاللّاوِيُّ وَالْغَرِيبُ الْمُقِيمُ بَيْنَكُمْ.

12 When you have made an end of tithing all the tithe of your increase in the third year, which is the year of tithing, then you shall give it to the Levite, to the foreigner, to the fatherless, and to the widow, that they may eat within your gates, and be filled.

١٢ وَمَتَى انْتَهَيْتَ مِنْ تَقْدِيمِ كُلِّ عُشُورِ غَلّاتِكَ فِي السَّنَةِ الثَّالِثَةِ، سَنَةِ الْعُشُورِ، وَأَعْطَيْتَ اللّاوِيَّ وَالْغَرِيبَ وَالْيَتِيمَ وَالأَرْمَلَةَ فَأَكَلُوا فِي مَدِينَتِكَ وَشَبِعُوا،

13 You shall say before Jehovah your God, "I have put away the holy things out of my house, and also have given them to the Levite, and to the foreigner, to the fatherless, and to the widow, according to all your commandment which you have commanded me: I have not transgressed any of your commandments, neither have I forgotten them:

١٣ تَقُولُ فِي حَضْرَةِ الرَّبِّ إِلَهِكَ: قَدْ افْرَزْتُ مِنْ بَيْتِي الْعُشُورَ الْمُقَدَّسَةَ وَأَعْطَيْتُهَا لِلّاوِيِّ وَالْغَرِيبِ وَالْيَتِيمِ وَالأَرْمَلَةِ، طَاعَةً لِوَصِيَّتِكَ الَّتِي أَمَرْتَنِي بِها، فَلَمْ أَتَجَاوَزْ وَصَايَاكَ وَلا نَسِيتُهَا.

14 I have not eaten of it in my mourning, neither have I put away of it, being unclean, nor given of it for the dead: I have listened to the voice of Jehovah my God; I have done according to all that you have commanded me.

١٤ لَمْ أَتَنَاوَلْ مِنْهُ فِي أَثْنَاءِ حُزْنِي، وَلَمْ آخُذْ مِنْهُ وَأَنَا فِي حَالَةِ نَجَاسَةٍ، وَلا أَعْطَيْتُ مِنْهُ لأَجْلِ مَيْتٍ. بَلْ أَطَعْتُ صَوْتَ إِلَهِي وَعَمِلْتُ بِمْوُجِبِ كُلِّ مَا أَوْصَيْتَنِي بِهِ.

15 Look down from your holy habitation, from heaven, and bless your people Israel, and the ground which you have given us, as you swore to our fathers, a land flowing with milk and honey."

١٥ أَشْرِفْ يَا رَبُّ مِنْ مَسْكَنِكَ الْمُقَدَّسِ فِي السَّمَاءِ، وَبَارِكْ شَعْبَكَ إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَالأَرْضَ الَّتِي تَفِيضُ لَبَناً وَعَسَلاً، الَّتِي وَهَبْتَهَا لَنَا كَمَا حَلَفْتَ لِآبَائِنَا.

16 This day Jehovah your God commands you to do these statutes and ordinances: you shall therefore keep and do them with all your heart, and with all your soul.

١٦ لَقَدْ أَمَرَكُمُ الرَّبُّ إِلَهُكُمْ فِي هَذَا الْيَوْمِ أَنْ تُمَارِسُوا هَذِهِ الْفَرَائِضَ وَالأَحْكَامَ، فَأَطِيعُوا، وَاعْمَلُوا بِها مِنْ كُلِّ قُلُوبِكُمْ وَمِنْ كُلِّ نُفُوسِكُمْ،

17 You have declared Jehovah this day to be your God, and that you would walk in his ways, and keep his statutes, and his commandments, and his ordinances, and listen to his voice:

١٧ فَأَنْتُمْ قَدْ أَعْلَنْتُمُ الْيَوْمَ أَنَّ الرَّبَّ إِلَهُكُمْ وَأَنَّكُمْ سَتَسْلُكُونَ فِي سُبُلِهِ وَتُطِيعُونَ فَرَائِضَهُ وَأَحْكَامَهُ وَتَسْمَعُونَ لِصَوْتِهِ

18 and Jehovah has declared you this day to be a people for his own possession, as he has promised you, and that you should keep all his commandments;

١٨ كَمَا أَعْلَنَ الرَّبُّ الْيَوْمَ أَنَّكُمْ تَكُونُونَ لَهُ شَعْباً خَاصّاً، حَسَبَ وَعْدِهِ لَكُمْ، وَأَنَّ عَلَيْكُمْ طَاعَةَ وَصَايَاهُ جَمِيعِهَا،

19 and to make you high above all nations that he has made, for fame, and for praise, and for honor; and that you may be a holy people to Jehovah your God, as he has spoken.

١٩ فَيَجْعَلَكُمْ أَسْمَى مِنْ كُلِّ الأُمَمِ الَّتِي خَلَقَهَا مِنْ حَيْثُ الثَّنَاءِ وَالشَّرَفِ وَالْمَجْدِ، وَتَكُونُوا شَعْباً مُقَدَّساً لِلرَّبِّ إِلَهِكُمْ كَمَا وَعَدَ».
