Deuteronomy 29

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition	Peshitta
1 These are the words of the covenant which the LORD commanded Moses to make with the people of Israel in the land of Moab, besides the covenant which he had made with them at Horeb.	1 ܘܩܪܐ ܡܘܫܐ ܠܟܠܗ ܐܝܣܪܝܠ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ. ܐܢܬܘܢ ܚܙܝܬܘܢ ܟܠܡܕܡ ܕܥܒܕ ܡܪܝܐ ܠܥܢܝ̈ܟܘܢ ܒܐܪܥܐ ܕܡܨܪܝܢ. ܠܦܪܥܘܢ ܘܠܟܠܗܘܢ ܥܒ̈ܕܘܗܝ. ܘܠܟܠܗ ܥܡܗ ܘܠܟܠܗ̇ ܐܪܥܗ.
2 And Moses summoned all Israel and said to them: "You have seen all that the LORD did before your eyes in the land of Egypt, to Pharaoh and to all his servants and to all his land,	2 ܢܣ̈ܝܘܢܐ ܪ̈ܘܪܒܐ ܕܚ̈ܙܝ ܥܝ̈ܢܝܟܘܢ. ܐ̈ܬܘܬܐ ܘܬܕܡܪ̈ܬܐ ܗܠܝܢ ܕܚܙܝܬܘܢ.
3 the great trials which your eyes saw, the signs, and those great wonders;	3 ܘܠܐ ܝܗܒ ܠܟܘܢ ܡܪܝܐ ܠܒܐ ܠܡܕܥ ܘܥܝ̈ܢܐ ܠܡܚܙܐ. ܘܐ̈ܕܢܐ ܠܡܫܡܥ ܥܕܡܐ ܠܝܘܡܢܐ.
4 but to this day the LORD has not given you a mind to understand, or eyes to see, or ears to hear.	4 ܘܕܒܪܬܟܘܢ ܐܪ̈ܒܥܝܢ ܫ̈ܢܝܢ ܒܡܕܒܪܐ. ܠܐ ܒܠܝܘ ܢܚ̈ܬܝܟܘܢ ܡܢܟܘܢ. ܘܡܣܢܝ̈ܟܘܢ ܠܐ ܒܠܝܘ ܡܢ ܪ̈ܓܠܝܟܘܢ.
5 I have led you forty years in the wilderness; your clothes have not worn out upon you, and your sandals have not worn off your feet;	5 ܘܠܚܡܐ ܠܐ ܐܟܠܬܘܢ ܘܚܡܪܐ ܘܫܟܪܐ ܠܐ ܐܫܬܝܬܘܢ. ܡܛܠ ܕܬܕܥܘܢ ܕܐܢܐ ܐܢܐ ܡܪܝܐ ܐܠܗܟܘܢ.
6 you have not eaten bread, and you have not drunk wine or strong drink; that you may know that I am the LORD your God.	6 ܘܐܝܬܝ̇ܬܟܘܢ ܠܐܬܪܐ ܗܢܐ. ܘܢܦܩ ܣܝܚܘܢ ܡܠܟܐ ܕܚܫܒܘܢ. ܘܥܘܓ ܡܠܟܐ ܕܡܬܢܝܢ ܠܐܘܪܥܢ ܠܩܪܒܐ ܘܚܪܒܢ ܐܢܘܢ.
7 And when you came to this place, Sihon the king of Heshbon and Og the king of Bashan came out against us to battle, but we defeated them;	7 ܘܢܣܒܢ ܐܪܥܗܘܢ ܘܝܗܒܢܗ̇ ܝܘܪܬܢܐ ܠܪܘܒܝܠ ܘܠܓܕ ܘܠܦܠܓܗ ܕܫܒܛܐ ܕܡܢܫܐ.
8 we took their land, and gave it for an inheritance to the Reubenites, the Gadites, and the half-tribe of the Manassites.	8 ܛܪܘ ܦܘܩ̈ܕܢܘܗܝ ܕܢܡܘܣܐ ܗܢܐ ܘܥܒܕܘ ܐܢܘܢ. ܕܗܘܝܬܘܢ ܡܣܩܝܢ ܠܪܝܫ ܟܠ ܡܕܡ ܕܥ̇ܒܕܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ.
9 Therefore be careful to do the words of this covenant, that you may prosper in all that you do.	9 ܐܢܬܘܢ ܩ̇ܝܡܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܝܘܡܢܐ ܩܕܡ ܡܪܝܐ ܐܠܗܟܘܢ. ܟܠܟܘܢ ܪ̈ܝܫܝ ܫ̈ܒܛܝܟܘܢ ܘܣ̈ܒܝܟܘܢ ܘܣܦܪ̈ܝܟܘܢ. ܟܠܗܘܢ ܓܒܪ̈ܐ ܕܐܝܣܪܝܠ.
10 "You stand this day all of you before the LORD your God; the heads of your tribes, your elders, and your officers, all the men of Israel,	10 ܘܝܩܪܬܟܘܢ ܘܢܫ̈ܝܟܘܢ. ܘܥܡܘܪܐ ܕܒܓܘ ܡܫܪܝܬܟ. ܡܢ ܠܩ̇ܛ ܩܝ̈ܣܝܟ ܘܥܕܡܐ ܠܡ̇ܠܐ ܡ̈ܝܟ.
11 your little ones, your wives, and the sojourner who is in your camp, both he who hews your wood and he who draws your water,	11 ܕܠܐ ܬܥܒܪܘܢ ܥܠ ܩܝܡܗ ܕܡܪܝܐ ܐܠܗܟܘܢ ܘܥܠ ܡ̈ܘܡܬܗ ܕܡܪܝܐ ܐܠܗܟܘܢ. ܕܐܩܝܡ ܥܡܟܘܢ ܝܘܡܢܐ.
12 that you may enter into the sworn covenant of the LORD your God, which the LORD your God makes with you this day;	12 ܡܛܠ ܕܢܩܝܡܟ ܠܗ ܝܘܡܢܐ ܥܡܐ. ܘܗܘ ܢܗܘܐ ܠܟ ܐܠܗܐ ܐܝܟ ܕܐܡܪ ܠܟ. ܘܐܝܟ ܕܝܡܐ ܠܐ̈ܒܗܝܟ. ܠܐܒܪܗܡ ܘܠܐܝܣܚܩ ܘܠܝܥܩܘܒ.
13 that he may establish you this day as his people, and that he may be your God, as he promised you, and as he swore to your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob.	13 ܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܥܡܟܘܢ ܒܠܚܘܕܝܟܘܢ ܡܩܝܡ ܐܢܐ ܩܝܡܐ ܗܢܐ ܐܘ ܡ̈ܘܡܬܐ ܗܕܐ.
14 Nor is it with you only that I make this sworn covenant,	14 ܐܠܐ ܥܡ ܟܠ ܡ̇ܢ ܕܗܪܟܐ ܗܘ . ܘܥܡܢ ܩ̇ܐܡ ܝܘܡܢܐ ܩܕܡ ܡܪܝܐ ܐܠܗܢ. ܘܥܡ ܟܠ ܡ̇ܢ ܕܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܥܡܢ ܗܪܟܐ ܝܘܡܢܐ.
15 but with him who is not here with us this day as well as with him who stands here with us this day before the LORD our God.	15 ܡܛܠ ܕܐܢܬܘܢ ܝ̇ܕܥܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܕܥܡܪܢ ܒܐܪܥܐ ܕܡܨܪܝܢ. ܘܥܒܪܢ ܒܝܬ ܥܡ̈ܡܐ ܕܥܒܪܬܘܢ.
16 "You know how we dwelt in the land of Egypt, and how we came through the midst of the nations through which you passed;	16 ܘܚܙܝܬܘܢ ܛܢ̈ܦܘܬܗܘܢ. ܘܕܚ̈ܠܬܗܘܢ ܕܩܝܣܐ ܘܕܟܐܦܐ. ܘܕܣܐܡܐ ܘܕܕܗܒܐ ܕܩܪ̈ܝܡܝܢ.
17 and you have seen their detestable things, their idols of wood and stone, of silver and gold, which were among them.	17 ܕܠܡܐ ܐܝܬ ܒܟܘܢ ܓܒܪܐ ܐܘ ܐܢܬܬܐ ܐܘ ܫܪܒܬܐ ܐܘ ܫܒܛܐ. ܕܣ̇ܛܐ ܠܒܗ ܝܘܡܢܐ ܡܢ ܡܪܝܐ ܐܠܗܢ. ܠܡܐܙܠ ܠܡܦܠܚ ܠܐ̈ܠܗܐ ܕܥܡ̈ܡܐ ܗ̇ܢܘܢ. ܕܠܡܐ ܐܝܬ ܒܟܘܢ ܥܩ̇ܪܐ ܕܡܘܥܐ ܡܐܪܬܐ ܘܓ̈ܕܕܐ.
18 Beware lest there be among you a man or woman or family or tribe, whose heart turns away this day from the LORD our God to go and serve the gods of those nations; lest there be among you a root bearing poisonous and bitter fruit,	18 ܘܡܐ ܕܫܡܥ ܦܬ̈ܓܡܐ ܕܡܘܡܬܐ ܗܕܐ. ܢܬܚܫܒ ܒܠܒܗ ܘܢܐܡܪ. ܫܠܡܐ ܢܗܘܐ ܠܝ ܕܒܨܒܝܢ ܠܒܝ ܐ̇ܙܠ ܐܢܐ. ܕܢܘܣܦ ܪܘܝܘܬܐ ܥܠ ܨܗܝܘܬܐ.
19 one who, when he hears the words of this sworn covenant, blesses himself in his heart, saying, 'I shall be safe, though I walk in the stubbornness of my heart.' This would lead to the sweeping away of moist and dry alike.	19 ܠܐ ܢܨܛܒܐ ܡܪܝܐ ܠܡܫܒܩ ܠܗ. ܐܠܐ ܗܝܕܝܢ ܢܥܫܢ ܪܘܓܙܗ ܕܡܪܝܐ ܘܛܢܢܗ ܒܓܒܪܐ ܗ̇ܘ. ܘܬܐܬܐ ܥܠܘܗܝ ܟܠܗ̇ ܠܘܛܬܐ ܕܟܬܝܒܐ ܒܟܬܒܐ ܗܢܐ. ܘܢܥܛܐ ܡܪܝܐ ܫܡܗ ܡܢ ܬܚܝܬ ܫܡܝܐ.
20 The LORD would not pardon him, but rather the anger of the LORD and his jealousy would smoke against that man, and the curses written in this book would settle upon him, and the LORD would blot out his name from under heaven.	20 ܘܢܦܪܫܝܘܗܝ ܡܪܝܐ ܠܒܝܫܬܐ ܡܢ ܟܠܗܘܢ ܫ̈ܒܛܐ ܕܐܝܣܪܝܠ. ܐܝܟ ܟܠܗܝܢ ܠܘ̈ܛܬܐ ܕܩܝܡܐ ܕܟܬ̈ܝܒܢ ܒܟܬܒܐ ܕܢܡܘܣܐ ܗܢܐ.
21 And the LORD would single him out from all the tribes of Israel for calamity, in accordance with all the curses of the covenant written in this book of the law.	21 ܘܢܐܡܪ ܕܪܐ ܐܚܪܢܐ. ܒܢ̈ܝܟܘܢ ܕܢܩܘܡܘܢ ܒܬܪܟܘܢ. ܘܢܘܟܪ̈ܝܐ ܕܢܐܬܘܢ ܡܢ ܐܪܥܐ ܪܚܝܩܬܐ. ܘܢܚܙܘܢ ܡܚ̈ܘܬܗ̇ ܕܐܪܥܐ ܗ̇ܝ ܘܟܘܪ̈ܗܢܝܗ̇ ܕܐܝܬܝ ܡܪܝܐ ܥܠܝܗ̇.
22 And the generation to come, your children who rise up after you, and the foreigner who comes from a far land, would say, when they see the afflictions of that land and the sicknesses with which the LORD has made it sick--	22 ܟܒܪܝܬܐ ܘܡܠܚܐ ܝܩܝܕܬܐ ܟܠܗ̇ ܐܪܥܐ ܠܐ ܬܙܕܪܥ ܘܠܐ ܬܘܥܐ. ܘܠܐ ܢܣܩ ܒܗ̇ ܟܠ ܥܣܒ. ܐܠܐ ܬܗܘܐ ܐܝܟ ܣܕܘܡ ܘܐܝܟ ܥܡܘܪܐ. ܘܐܝܟ ܐܕܡܐ ܘܐܝܟ ܨܒܘܐܝܡ. ܕܗܦܟ ܐ̈ܢܝܢ. ܡܪܝܐ ܒܪܘܓܙܗ ܘܒܚܡܬܗ.
23 the whole land brimstone and salt, and a burnt-out waste, unsown, and growing nothing, where no grass can sprout, an overthrow like that of Sodom and Gomorrah, Admah and Zeboiim, which the LORD overthrew in his anger and wrath--	23 ܘܢܐܡܪܘܢ ܟܠܗܘܢ ܥܡ̈ܡܐ. ܥܠ ܡܢܐ ܥܒܕ ܡܪܝܐ ܗܟܢܐ ܠܐܪܥܐ ܗܕܐ. ܘܥܠ ܡܢܐ ܐܬܚܡܬ ܪܘܓܙܗ ܗܢܐ ܪܒܐ.
24 yea, all the nations would say, 'Why has the LORD done thus to this land? What means the heat of this great anger?'	24 ܘܢܐܡܪܘܢ ܥܠ ܕܫܒܩܘ ܩܝܡܗ ܕܡܪܝܐ ܐܠܗܐ ܕܐ̈ܒܗܝܗܘܢ. ܕܐܩܝܡ ܥܡܗܘܢ ܟܕ ܐܦܩ ܐܢܘܢ ܡܢ ܐܪܥܐ ܕܡܨܪܝܢ.
25 Then men would say, 'It is because they forsook the covenant of the LORD, the God of their fathers, which he made with them when he brought them out of the land of Egypt,	25 ܘܐܙܠܘ ܘܦܠܚܘ ܠܐ̈ܠܗܐ ܐܚܪ̈ܢܐ ܘܣܓܕܘ ܠܗܘܢ. ܐ̈ܠܗܐ ܕܠܐ ܝܕܥܘ ܐܢܘܢ . ܘܠܐ ܐܬܦܠܓܘ ܠܗܘܢ.
26 and went and served other gods and worshiped them, gods whom they had not known and whom he had not allotted to them;	26 ܘܐܬܚܡܬ ܪܘܓܙܗ ܕܡܪܝܐ ܥܠ ܐܪܥܐ ܗ̇ܝ. ܕܢܝܬܐ ܥܠܝܗ̇ ܟܠܗܝܢ ܠܘ̈ܛܬܐ ܕܟܬ̈ܝܒܢ ܒܟܬܒܐ ܗܢܐ.
27 therefore the anger of the LORD was kindled against this land, bringing upon it all the curses written in this book;	27 ܘܢܥܩܘܪ ܐܢܘܢ ܡܪܝܐ ܡܢ ܐܪܥܗܘܢ ܒܪܘܓܙܐ ܘܒܚܡܬܐ . ܘܒܪܘܓܙܐ ܪܒܐ ܘܢܫܕܐ ܐܢܘܢ ܠܐܪܥܐ ܐܚܪܬܐ ܐܝܟ ܕܝܘܡܢܐ .
28 and the LORD uprooted them from their land in anger and fury and great wrath, and cast them into another land, as at this day.'	28 ܣܬܝܪ̈ܬܐ ܕܡܪܝܐ ܐ̈ܢܝܢ ܐܠܗܢ ܘܓ̈ܠܝܬܐ. ܕܝܠܢ ܘܕܒܢ̈ܝܢ ܠܥܠܡ. ܕܢ̇ܛܪ ܘܢܥܒܕ ܟܠܗܘܢ ܦܬ̈ܓܡܘܗܝ ܕܢܡܘܣܐ ܗܢܐ.
29 "The secret things belong to the LORD our God; but the things that are revealed belong to us and to our children for ever, that we may do all the words of this law.
