اَلتَّثْنِيَة 14

١ 1 «أَنْتُمْ أَوْلَادٌ لِلرَّبِّ إِلَهِكُمْ. لَا تَخْمِشُوا أَجْسَامَكُمْ، وَلَا تَجْعَلُوا قَرْعَةً بَيْنَ أَعْيُنِكُمْ لِأَجْلِ مَيْتٍ.

You are the children of the Lord your God: you shall not make any baldness between you eyes for the dead.

٢ 2 لِأَنَّكَ شَعْبٌ مُقَدَّسٌ لِلرَّبِّ إِلَهِكَ، وَقَدِ ٱخْتَارَكَ ٱلرَّبُّ لِكَيْ تَكُونَ لَهُ شَعْبًا خَاصًّا فَوْقَ جَمِيعِ ٱلشُّعُوبِ ٱلَّذِينَ عَلَى وَجْهِ ٱلْأَرْضِ.

For you are a holy people to the Lord your God, and the Lord your God has chosen you to be a peculiar people to himself of all the nations on the face of the earth.

٣ 3 «لَا تَأْكُلْ رِجْسًا مَّا.

You shall not eat any abominable thing.

٤ 4 هَذِهِ هِيَ ٱلْبَهَائِمُ ٱلَّتِي تَأْكُلُونَهَا: ٱلْبَقَرُ وَٱلضَّأْنُ وَٱلْمَعْزُ

These [are] the beasts which you shall eat; the calf of the herd, and lamb of the sheep, and kid of the goats;

٥ 5 وَٱلْإِيَّلُ وَٱلظَّبْيُ وَٱلْيَحْمُورُ وَٱلْوَعْلُ وَٱلرِّئْمُ وَٱلثَّيْتَلُ وَٱلْمَهَاةُ.

the stag, and doe, and pygarg, and wild goat, and camelopard.

٦ 6 وَكُلُّ بَهِيمَةٍ مِنَ ٱلْبَهَائِمِ تَشُقُّ ظِلْفًا وَتَقْسِمُهُ ظِلْفَيْنِ وَتَجْتَرُّ فَإِيَّاهَا تَأْكُلُونَ.

Every beast that divides the hoofs, and makes claws of two divisions, and that chews the cud amongst beasts, these you shall eat.

٧ 7 إِلَّا هَذِهِ فَلَا تَأْكُلُوهَا، مِمَّا يَجْتَرُّ وَمِمَّا يَشُقُّ ٱلظِّلْفَ ٱلْمُنْقَسِمَ: ٱلْجَمَلُ وَٱلْأَرْنَبُ وَٱلْوَبْرُ، لِأَنَّهَا تَجْتَرُّ لَكِنَّهَا لَا تَشُقُّ ظِلْفًا، فَهِيَ نَجِسَةٌ لَكُمْ.

And these you shall not eat of them that chew the cud, and of those that divide the hoofs, and make distinct claws; the camel, and the hare, and the rabbit; because they chew the cud, and do not divide the hoof, these are unclean to you.

٨ 8 وَٱلْخِنْزِيرُ لِأَنَّهُ يَشُقُّ ٱلظِّلْفَ لَكِنَّهُ لَا يَجْتَرُّ فَهُوَ نَجِسٌ لَكُمْ. فَمِنْ لَحْمِهَا لَا تَأْكُلُوا وَجُثَثَهَا لَا تَلْمِسُوا.

And as for the swine, because he divides the hoof, and makes claws of the hoof, yet he chews not the cud, he is unclean to you; you shall not eat of their flesh, you shall not touch their dead bodies.

٩ 9 «وَهَذَا تَأْكُلُونَهُ مِنْ كُلِّ مَا فِي ٱلْمِيَاهِ: كُلُّ مَا لَهُ زَعَانِفُ وَحَرْشَفٌ تَأْكُلُونَهُ.

And these you shall eat of all that are in the water, you shall eat all that have fins and scales.

١٠ 10 لَكِنْ كُلُّ مَا لَيْسَ لَهُ زَعَانِفُ وَحَرْشَفٌ لَا تَأْكُلُوهُ. إِنَّهُ نَجِسٌ لَكُمْ.

And all that have not fins and scales you shall not eat; they are unclean to you.

١١ 11 «كُلَّ طَيْرٍ طَاهِرٍ تَأْكُلُونَ.

You shall eat every clean bird.

١٢ 12 وَهَذَا مَا لَا تَأْكُلُونَ مِنْهُ: ٱلنَّسْرُ وَٱلْأَنُوقُ وَٱلْعُقَابُ

And these of them you shall not eat; the eagle, and the ossifrage, and the sea-eagle,

١٣ 13 وَٱلْحِدَأَةُ وَٱلْبَاشِقُ وَٱلشَّاهِينُ عَلَى أَجْنَاسِهِ،

and the vulture, and the kite and the like to it,

١٤ 14 وَكُلُّ غُرَابٍ عَلَى أَجْنَاسِهِ،

١٥ 15 وَٱلنَّعَامَةُ وَٱلظَّلِيمُ وَٱلسَّأَفُ وَٱلْبَازُ عَلَى أَجْنَاسِهِ،

and the sparrow, and the owl, and the cormorant,

١٦ 16 وَٱلْبُومُ وَٱلْكُرْكِيُّ وَٱلْبَجَعُ

and the heron, and the swan, and the stork,

١٧ 17 وَٱلْقُوقُ وَٱلرَّخَمُ وَٱلْغَوَّاصُ

and the cormorant, and the hawk, and its like, and the hoopoe, and the raven,

١٨ 18 وَٱللَّقْلَقُ وَٱلْبَبْغَاءُ عَلَى أَجْنَاسِهِ، وَٱلْهُدْهُدُ وَٱلْخُفَّاشُ.

and the pelican, and the diver and the like to it, and the red-bill and the bat.

١٩ 19 وَكُلُّ دَبِيبِ ٱلطَّيْرِ نَجِسٌ لَكُمْ. لَا يُؤْكَلُ.

All winged animals that creep are unclean to you; you shall not eat of them.

٢٠ 20 كُلَّ طَيْرٍ طَاهِرٍ تَأْكُلُونَ.

You shall eat every clean bird.

٢١ 21 «لَا تَأْكُلُوا جُثَّةً مَّا. تُعْطِيهَا لِلْغَرِيبِ ٱلَّذِي فِي أَبْوَابِكَ فَيَأْكُلُهَا أَوْ يَبِيعُهَا لِأَجْنَبِيٍّ، لِأَنَّكَ شَعْبٌ مُقَدَّسٌ لِلرَّبِّ إِلَهِكَ. لَا تَطْبُخْ جَدْيًا بِلَبَنِ أُمِّهِ.

You shall eat nothing that dies of itself; it shall be given to the sojourner in your cities and he shall eat it, or you shall sell it to a stranger, because you are a holy people to the Lord your God. You shall not boil a lamb in his mother's milk.

٢٢ 22 «تَعْشِيرًا تُعَشِّرُ كُلَّ مَحْصُولِ زَرْعِكَ ٱلَّذِي يَخْرُجُ مِنَ ٱلْحَقْلِ سَنَةً بِسَنَةٍ.

You shall tithe a tenth of all the produce of your seed, the fruit of your field year by year.

٢٣ 23 وَتَأْكُلُ أَمَامَ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِكَ، فِي ٱلْمَكَانِ ٱلَّذِي يَخْتَارُهُ لِيُحِلَّ ٱسْمَهُ فِيهِ، عُشْرَ حِنْطَتِكَ وَخَمْرِكَ وَزَيْتِكَ، وَأَبْكَارِ بَقَرِكَ وَغَنَمِكَ، لِكَيْ تَتَعَلَّمَ أَنْ تَتَّقِيَ ٱلرَّبَّ إِلَهَكَ كُلَّ ٱلْأَيَّامِ.

And you shall eat it in the place which the Lord your God shall choose to have his name called there; you shall bring the tithe of your corn and of your wine, and of your oil, the firstborn of your herd and of your flock, that you may learn to fear the Lord your God always.

٢٤ 24 وَلَكِنْ إِذَا طَالَ عَلَيْكَ ٱلطَّرِيقُ حَتَّى لَا تَقْدِرَ أَنْ تَحْمِلَهُ. إِذَا كَانَ بَعِيدًا عَلَيْكَ ٱلْمَكَانُ ٱلَّذِي يَخْتَارُهُ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكَ لِيَجْعَلَ ٱسْمَهُ فِيهِ، إِذْ يُبَارِكُكَ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكَ،

And if the journey be too far for you, and you are not able to bring them, because the place [is] far from you which the Lord your God shall choose to have his name called there, because the Lord your God will bless you;

٢٥ 25 فَبِعْهُ بِفِضَّةٍ، وَصُرَّ ٱلْفِضَّةَ فِي يَدِكَ وَٱذْهَبْ إِلَى ٱلْمَكَانِ ٱلَّذِي يَخْتَارُهُ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكَ،

then you shall sell them for money, and you shall take the money in your hands, and you shall go to the place which the Lord your God shall choose.

٢٦ 26 وَأَنْفِقِ ٱلْفِضَّةَ فِي كُلِّ مَا تَشْتَهِي نَفْسُكَ فِي ٱلْبَقَرِ وَٱلْغَنَمِ وَٱلْخَمْرِ وَٱلْمُسْكِرِ وَكُلِّ مَا تَطْلُبُ مِنْكَ نَفْسُكَ، وَكُلْ هُنَاكَ أَمَامَ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِكَ وَٱفْرَحْ أَنْتَ وَبَيْتُكَ.

And you shall give the money for whatever your soul shall desire, for oxen or for sheep, or for wine, or [you shall lay it out] on strong drink, or on whatever your soul may desire, and you shall eat there before the Lord your God, and you shall rejoice and your house,

٢٧ 27 وَٱللَّاوِيُّ ٱلَّذِي فِي أَبْوَابِكَ لَا تَتْرُكْهُ، لِأَنَّهُ لَيْسَ لَهُ قِسْمٌ وَلَا نَصِيبٌ مَعَكَ.

and the Levite that is in your cities, because he has not a portion or inheritance with you.

٢٨ 28 «فِي آخِرِ ثَلَاثِ سِنِينَ تُخْرِجُ كُلَّ عُشْرِ مَحْصُولِكَ فِي تِلْكَ ٱلسَّنَةِ وَتَضَعُهُ فِي أَبْوَابِكَ.

After three years you shall bring out all the tithes of your fruits, in that year you shall lay it up in your cities.

٢٩ 29 فَيَأْتِي ٱللَّاوِيُّ، لِأَنَّهُ لَيْسَ لَهُ قِسْمٌ وَلَا نَصِيبٌ مَعَكَ، وَٱلْغَرِيبُ وَٱلْيَتِيمُ وَٱلْأَرْمَلَةُ ٱلَّذِينَ فِي أَبْوَابِكَ، وَيَأْكُلُونَ وَيَشْبَعُونَ، لِكَيْ يُبَارِكَكَ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكَ فِي كُلِّ عَمَلِ يَدِكَ ٱلَّذِي تَعْمَلُ.

And the Levite shall come, because he has no part or lot with you, and the stranger, and the orphan, and the widow which is in your cities; and they shall eat and be filled, that the Lord your God may bless you in all the works which you shall do.
