1 When the LORD your God brings you into the land you are entering to possess and drives out before you many nations —the Hittites, Girgashites, Amorites, Canaanites, Perizzites, Hivites and Jebusites, seven nations larger and stronger than you —2 and when the LORD your God has delivered them over to you and you have defeated them, then you must destroy them totally. "Make no treaty with them, and show them no mercy.3 Do not intermarry with them. Do not give your daughters to their sons or take their daughters for your sons,4 for they will turn your children away from following me to serve other gods, and the LORD's anger will burn against you and will quickly destroy you.5 This is what you are to do to them: Break down their altars, smash their sacred stones, cut down their Asherah poles "and burn their idols in the fire.6 For you are a people holy to the LORD your God. The LORD your God has chosen you out of all the peoples on the face of the earth to be his people, his treasured possession.7 The LORD did not set his affection on you and choose you because you were more numerous than other peoples, for you were the fewest of all peoples.8 But it was because the LORD loved you and kept the oath he swore to your ancestors that he brought you out with a mighty hand and redeemed you from the land of slavery, from the power of Pharaoh king of Egypt.9 Know therefore that the LORD your God is God; he is the faithful God, keeping his covenant of love to a thousand generations of those who love him and keep his commandments.10 But those who hate him he will repay to their face by destruction; he will not be slow to repay to their face those who hate him.11 Therefore, take care to follow the commands, decrees and laws I give you today.12 If you pay attention to these laws and are careful to follow them, then the LORD your God will keep his covenant of love with you, as he swore to your ancestors.13 He will love you and bless you and increase your numbers. He will bless the fruit of your womb, the crops of your land —your grain, new wine and olive oil —the calves of your herds and the lambs of your flocks in the land he swore to your ancestors to give you.14 You will be blessed more than any other people; none of your men or women will be childless, nor will any of your livestock be without young.15 The LORD will keep you free from every disease. He will not inflict on you the horrible diseases you knew in Egypt, but he will inflict them on all who hate you.16 You must destroy all the peoples the LORD your God gives over to you. Do not look on them with pity and do not serve their gods, for that will be a snare to you.17 You may say to yourselves, "These nations are stronger than we are. How can we drive them out?"18 But do not be afraid of them; remember well what the LORD your God did to Pharaoh and to all Egypt.19 You saw with your own eyes the great trials, the signs and wonders, the mighty hand and outstretched arm, with which the LORD your God brought you out. The LORD your God will do the same to all the peoples you now fear.20 Moreover, the LORD your God will send the hornet among them until even the survivors who hide from you have perished.21 Do not be terrified by them, for the LORD your God, who is among you, is a great and awesome God.22 The LORD your God will drive out those nations before you, little by little. You will not be allowed to eliminate them all at once, or the wild animals will multiply around you.23 But the LORD your God will deliver them over to you, throwing them into great confusion until they are destroyed.24 He will give their kings into your hand, and you will wipe out their names from under heaven. No one will be able to stand up against you; you will destroy them.25 The images of their gods you are to burn in the fire. Do not covet the silver and gold on them, and do not take it for yourselves, or you will be ensnared by it, for it is detestable to the LORD your God.26 Do not bring a detestable thing into your house or you, like it, will be set apart for destruction. Regard it as vile and utterly detest it, for it is set apart for destruction.

1 متى أتى بك الرب الهك الى الارض التي انت داخل اليها لتمتلكها وطرد شعوبا كثيرة من امامك الحثيين والجرجاشيين والاموريين والكنعانيين والفرزّيين والحوّيين واليبوسيين سبع شعوب اكثر واعظم منك2 ودفعهم الرب الهك امامك وضربتهم فانك تحرّمهم. لا تقطع لهم عهدا ولا تشفق عليهم3 ولا تصاهرهم. بنتك لا تعطي لابنه وبنته لا تأخذ لابنك.4 لانه يرد ابنك من ورائي فيعبد آلهة اخرى فيحمى غضب الرب عليكم ويهلككم سريعا.5 ولكن هكذا تفعلون بهم تهدمون مذابحهم وتكسّرون انصابهم وتقطعون سواريهم وتحرقون تماثيلهم بالنار.6 لانك انت شعب مقدس للرب الهك. اياك قد اختار الرب الهك لتكون له شعبا اخصّ من جميع الشعوب الذين على وجه الارض.7 ليس من كونكم اكثر من سائر الشعوب التصق الرب بكم واختاركم لانكم اقل من سائر الشعوب.8 بل من محبة الرب اياكم وحفظه القسم الذي اقسم لآبائكم اخرجكم الرب بيد شديدة وفداكم من بيت العبودية من يد فرعون ملك مصر.9 فاعلم ان الرب الهك هو الله الاله الامين الحافظ العهد والاحسان للذين يحبونه ويحفظون وصاياه الى الف جيل10 والمجازي الذين يبغضونه بوجوههم ليهلكهم. لا يمهل من يبغضه. بوجهه يجازيه.11 فاحفظ الوصايا والفرائض والاحكام التي انا اوصيك اليوم لتعملها12 ومن اجل انكم تسمعون هذه الاحكام وتحفظون وتعملونها يحفظ لك الرب الهك العهد والاحسان اللذين اقسم لآبائك13 ويحبك ويباركك ويكثرك ويبارك ثمرة بطنك وثمرة ارضك قمحك وخمرك وزيتك ونتاج بقرك واناث غنمك على الارض التي اقسم لآبائك انه يعطيك اياها.14 مباركا تكون فوق جميع الشعوب. لا يكون عقيم ولا عاقر فيك ولا في بهائمك.15 ويرد الرب عنك كل مرض وكل ادواء مصر الرديئة التي عرفتها لا يضعها عليك بل يجعلها على كل مبغضيك.16 وتاكل كل الشعوب الذين الرب الهك يدفع اليك. لا تشفق عيناك عليهم ولا تعبد آلهتهم لان ذلك شرك لك.17 ان قلت في قلبك هؤلاء الشعوب اكثر مني كيف اقدر ان اطردهم.18 فلا تخف منهم. اذكر ما فعله الرب الهك بفرعون وبجميع المصريين.19 التجارب العظيمة التي ابصرتها عيناك والآيات والعجائب واليد الشديدة والذراع الرفيعة التي بها اخرجك الرب الهك. هكذا يفعل الرب الهك بجميع الشعوب التي انت خائف من وجهها20 والزنابير ايضا يرسلها الرب الهك عليهم حتى يفنى الباقون والمختفون من امامك.21 لا ترهب وجوههم لان الرب الهك في وسطك اله عظيم ومخوف.22 ولكن الرب الهك يطرد هؤلاء الشعوب من امامك قليلا قليلا. لا تستطيع ان تفنيهم سريعا لئلا تكثر عليك وحوش البرية.23 ويدفعهم الرب الهك امامك ويوقع بهم اضطرابا عظيما حتى يفنوا.24 ويدفع ملوكهم الى يدك فتمحو اسمهم من تحت السماء. لا يقف انسان في وجهك حتى تفنيهم.25 وتماثيل آلهتهم تحرقون بالنار. لا تشته فضة ولا ذهبا مما عليها لتاخذ لك لئلا تصاد به لانه رجس عند الرب الهك.26 ولا تدخل رجسا الى بيتك لئلا تكون محرّما مثله. تستقبحه وتكرهه لانه محرّم
