1 اسمع يا اسرائيل. انت اليوم عابر الاردن لكي تدخل وتمتلك شعوبا اكبر واعظم منك ومدنا عظيمة ومحصّنة الى السماء.2 قوما عظاما وطوالا بني عناق الذين عرفتهم وسمعت من يقف في وجه بني عناق.3 فاعلم اليوم ان الرب الهك هو العابر امامك نارا آكلة. هو يبيدهم ويذلهم امامك فتطردهم وتهلكهم سريعا كما كلمك الرب.4 لا تقل في قلبك حين ينفيهم الرب الهك من امامك قائلا. لاجل بري ادخلني الرب لامتلك هذه الارض. ولاجل اثم هؤلاء الشعوب يطردهم الرب من امامك.5 ليس لاجل برك وعدالة قلبك تدخل لتمتلك ارضهم بل لاجل اثم اولئك الشعوب يطردهم الرب الهك من امامك ولكي يفي بالكلام الذي اقسم الرب عليه لآبائك ابراهيم واسحق ويعقوب.6 فاعلم انه ليس لاجل برك يعطيك الرب الهك هذه الارض الجيّدة لتمتلكها لانك شعب صلب الرقبة7 اذكر لا تنسى كيف اسخطت الرب الهك في البرية. من اليوم الذي خرجت فيه من ارض مصر حتى اتيتم الى هذا المكان كنتم تقاومون الرب.8 حتى في حوريب اسخطتم الرب فغضب الرب عليكم ليبيدكم.9 حين صعدت الى الجبل لكي آخذ لوحي الحجر لوحي العهد الذي قطعه الرب معكم اقمت في الجبل اربعين نهارا واربعين ليلة لا آكل خبزا ولا اشرب ماء.10 واعطاني الرب لوحي الحجر المكتوبين باصبع الله وعليهما مثل جميع الكلمات التي كلمكم بها الرب في الجبل من وسط النار في يوم الاجتماع.11 وفي نهاية الاربعين نهارا والاربعين ليلة لما اعطاني الرب لوحي الحجر لوحي العهد12 قال الرب لي قم انزل عاجلا من هنا لانه قد فسد شعبك الذي اخرجته من مصر. زاغوا سريعا عن الطريق التي اوصيتهم. صنعوا لانفسهم تمثالا مسبوكا.13 وكلمني الرب قائلا. رأيت هذا الشعب واذا هو شعب صلب الرقبة.14 اتركني فابيدهم وامحو اسمهم من تحت السماء واجعلك شعبا اعظم واكثر منهم.15 فانصرفت ونزلت من الجبل والجبل يشتعل بالنار ولوحا العهد في يديّ16 فنظرت واذا انتم قد اخطأتم الى الرب الهكم وصنعتم لانفسكم عجلا مسبوكا وزغتم سريعا عن الطريق التي اوصاكم بها الرب.17 فاخذت اللوحين وطرحتهما من يديّ وكسّرتهما امام اعينكم.18 ثم سقطت امام الرب كالاول اربعين نهارا واربعين ليلة لا آكل خبزا ولا اشرب ماء من اجل كل خطاياكم التي اخطأتم بها بعملكم الشر امام الرب لاغاظته.19 لاني فزعت من الغضب والغيظ الذي سخطه الرب عليكم ليبيدكم. فسمع لي الرب تلك المرة ايضا.20 وعلى هرون غضب الرب جدا ليبيده. فصلّيت ايضا من اجل هرون في ذلك الوقت.21 واما خطيتكم العجل الذي صنعتموه فأخذته واحرقته بالنار ورضضته وطحنته جيدا حتى نعم كالغبار. ثم طرحت غباره في النهر المنحدر من الجبل22 وفي تبعيرة ومسّة وقبروت هتّأوة اسخطتم الرب.23 وحين ارسلكم الرب من قادش برنيع قائلا. اصعدوا امتلكوا الارض التي اعطيتكم عصيتم قول الرب الهكم ولم تصدقوه ولم تسمعوا لقوله.24 قد كنتم تعصون الرب منذ يوم عرفتكم25 فسقطت امام الرب الاربعين نهارا والاربعين ليلة التي سقطتها لان الرب قال انه يهلككم.26 وصليت للرب وقلت يا سيد الرب لا تهلك شعبك وميراثك الذي فديته بعظمتك الذي اخرجته من مصر بيد شديدة.27 اذكر عبيدك ابراهيم واسحق ويعقوب. لا تلتفت الى غلاظة هذا الشعب واثمه وخطيته28 لئلا تقول الارض التي اخرجتنا منها لاجل ان الرب لم يقدر ان يدخلهم الارض التي كلمهم عنها ولاجل انه ابغضهم اخرجهم لكي يميتهم في البرية.29 وهم شعبك وميراثك الذي اخرجته بقوتك العظيمة وبذراعك الرفيعة

1 Hear, O Israel: You are to pass over Jordan this day, to go in to possess nations greater and mightier than yourself, cities great and fenced up to heaven,2 A people great and tall, the children of the Anakims, whom you know, and of whom you have heard say, Who can stand before the children of Anak!3 Understand therefore this day, that the LORD your God is he which goes over before you; as a consuming fire he shall destroy them, and he shall bring them down before your face: so shall you drive them out, and destroy them quickly, as the LORD has said to you.4 Speak not you in your heart, after that the LORD your God has cast them out from before you, saying, For my righteousness the LORD has brought me in to possess this land: but for the wickedness of these nations the LORD does drive them out from before you.5 Not for your righteousness, or for the uprightness of your heart, do you go to possess their land: but for the wickedness of these nations the LORD your God does drive them out from before you, and that he may perform the word which the LORD swore to your fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.6 Understand therefore, that the LORD your God gives you not this good land to possess it for your righteousness; for you are a stiff necked people.7 Remember, and forget not, how you provoked the LORD your God to wrath in the wilderness: from the day that you did depart out of the land of Egypt, until you came to this place, you have been rebellious against the LORD.8 Also in Horeb you provoked the LORD to wrath, so that the LORD was angry with you to have destroyed you.9 When I was gone up into the mount to receive the tables of stone, even the tables of the covenant which the LORD made with you, then I stayed in the mount forty days and forty nights, I neither did eat bread nor drink water:10 And the LORD delivered to me two tables of stone written with the finger of God; and on them was written according to all the words, which the LORD spoke with you in the mount out of the middle of the fire in the day of the assembly.11 And it came to pass at the end of forty days and forty nights, that the LORD gave me the two tables of stone, even the tables of the covenant.12 And the LORD said to me, Arise, get you down quickly from hence; for your people which you have brought forth out of Egypt have corrupted themselves; they are quickly turned aside out of the way which I commanded them; they have made them a molten image.13 Furthermore the LORD spoke to me, saying, I have seen this people, and, behold, it is a stiff necked people:14 Let me alone, that I may destroy them, and blot out their name from under heaven: and I will make of you a nation mightier and greater than they.15 So I turned and came down from the mount, and the mount burned with fire: and the two tables of the covenant were in my two hands.16 And I looked, and, behold, you had sinned against the LORD your God, and had made you a molten calf: you had turned aside quickly out of the way which the LORD had commanded you.17 And I took the two tables, and cast them out of my two hands, and broke them before your eyes.18 And I fell down before the LORD, as at the first, forty days and forty nights: I did neither eat bread, nor drink water, because of all your sins which you sinned, in doing wickedly in the sight of the LORD, to provoke him to anger.19 For I was afraid of the anger and hot displeasure, with which the LORD was wroth against you to destroy you. But the LORD listened to me at that time also.20 And the LORD was very angry with Aaron to have destroyed him: and I prayed for Aaron also the same time.21 And I took your sin, the calf which you had made, and burnt it with fire, and stamped it, and ground it very small, even until it was as small as dust: and I cast the dust thereof into the brook that descended out of the mount.22 And at Taberah, and at Massah, and at Kibrothhattaavah, you provoked the LORD to wrath.23 Likewise when the LORD sent you from Kadeshbarnea, saying, Go up and possess the land which I have given you; then you rebelled against the commandment of the LORD your God, and you believed him not, nor listened to his voice.24 You have been rebellious against the LORD from the day that I knew you.25 Thus I fell down before the LORD forty days and forty nights, as I fell down at the first; because the LORD had said he would destroy you.26 I prayed therefore to the LORD, and said, O Lord GOD, destroy not your people and your inheritance, which you have redeemed through your greatness, which you have brought forth out of Egypt with a mighty hand.27 Remember your servants, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; look not to the stubbornness of this people, nor to their wickedness, nor to their sin:28 Lest the land from where you brought us out say, Because the LORD was not able to bring them into the land which he promised them, and because he hated them, he has brought them out to slay them in the wilderness.29 Yet they are your people and your inheritance, which you brought out by your mighty power and by your stretched out arm.
