اَلتَّثْنِيَة 14

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

“You [are] sons of your God YHWH; you do not cut yourselves, nor make baldness between your 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 your God YHWH, and YHWH has fixed on you to be to Him for a people, a peculiar treasure, out of all the peoples who [are] on the face of the ground.

٣ 3 «لَا تَأْكُلْ رِجْسًا مَّا.

You do not eat any abomination;

٤ 4 هَذِهِ هِيَ ٱلْبَهَائِمُ ٱلَّتِي تَأْكُلُونَهَا: ٱلْبَقَرُ وَٱلضَّأْنُ وَٱلْمَعْزُ

this [is] the beast which you eat: ox, lamb of the sheep, or kid of the goats,

٥ 5 وَٱلْإِيَّلُ وَٱلظَّبْيُ وَٱلْيَحْمُورُ وَٱلْوَعْلُ وَٱلرِّئْمُ وَٱلثَّيْتَلُ وَٱلْمَهَاةُ.

deer, and roe, and fallow deer, and wild goat, and ibex, and antelope, and zemer;

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

and every beast dividing the hoof, and cleaving the cleft into two hooves, bringing up the cud, among the beasts—you eat it.

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

Only, this you do not eat, of those bringing up the cud, and of those dividing the cloven hoof: the camel, and the hare, and the hyrax, for they are bringing up the cud, but the hoof has not divided—they [are] unclean to you;

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

and the sow, for it is dividing the hoof, and not [bringing] up the cud—it [is] unclean to you; you do not eat of their flesh, and you do not come against their carcass.

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

This you eat of all which [are] in the waters: anything that has fins and scales you eat;

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

and anything which does not have fins and scales you do not eat—it [is] unclean to you.

١١ 11 «كُلَّ طَيْرٍ طَاهِرٍ تَأْكُلُونَ.

Any clean bird you eat;

١٢ 12 وَهَذَا مَا لَا تَأْكُلُونَ مِنْهُ: ٱلنَّسْرُ وَٱلْأَنُوقُ وَٱلْعُقَابُ

and these [are] they of which you do not eat: the eagle, and the bearded vulture, and the osprey,

١٣ 13 وَٱلْحِدَأَةُ وَٱلْبَاشِقُ وَٱلشَّاهِينُ عَلَى أَجْنَاسِهِ،

and the kite, and the falcon, and the vulture after its kind,

١٤ 14 وَكُلُّ غُرَابٍ عَلَى أَجْنَاسِهِ،

and every raven after its kind;

١٥ 15 وَٱلنَّعَامَةُ وَٱلظَّلِيمُ وَٱلسَّأَفُ وَٱلْبَازُ عَلَى أَجْنَاسِهِ،

and the ostrich, and the nightjar [[or male ostrich]], and the seagull, and the hawk after its kind;

١٦ 16 وَٱلْبُومُ وَٱلْكُرْكِيُّ وَٱلْبَجَعُ

the little owl, and the great owl, and the waterhen,

١٧ 17 وَٱلْقُوقُ وَٱلرَّخَمُ وَٱلْغَوَّاصُ

and the pelican, and the Egyptian vulture, and the cormorant,

١٨ 18 وَٱللَّقْلَقُ وَٱلْبَبْغَاءُ عَلَى أَجْنَاسِهِ، وَٱلْهُدْهُدُ وَٱلْخُفَّاشُ.

and the stork, and the heron after its kind, and the hoopoe, and the bat.

١٩ 19 وَكُلُّ دَبِيبِ ٱلطَّيْرِ نَجِسٌ لَكُمْ. لَا يُؤْكَلُ.

And every teeming thing which is flying—it [is] unclean to you; they are not eaten;

٢٠ 20 كُلَّ طَيْرٍ طَاهِرٍ تَأْكُلُونَ.

any clean bird you eat.

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 do not eat of any carcass; you give it to the sojourner who [is] within your gates, and he has eaten it; or sell [it] to a stranger; for you [are] a holy people to your God YHWH. You do not boil a kid in its mother’s milk.

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

You certainly tithe all the increase of your seed which the field is bringing forth 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 have eaten before your God YHWH, in the place where He chooses to cause His Name to dwell, the tithe of your grain, of your new wine, and of your oil, and the firstlings of your herd, and of your flock, so that you learn to fear your God YHWH [for] all the days.

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 when the way is too much for you, that you are not able to carry it—when the place is too far off from you which your God YHWH chooses to put His Name there, when your God YHWH blesses you—

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

then you have given [it] in money, and have bound up the money in your hand, and gone to the place on which your God YHWH fixes;

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 have given the money for anything which your soul desires, for oxen, and for sheep, and for wine, and for strong drink, and for anything which your soul asks for, and you have eaten before your God YHWH there, and you have rejoiced, you and your house.

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

As for the Levite who [is] within your gates, you do not forsake him, for he has no portion and inheritance with you.

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

At the end of three years you bring out all the tithe of your increase in that year, and have placed [it] within your gates;

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 has come in—for he has no part and inheritance with you—and the sojourner, and the fatherless, and the widow, who [are] within your gates, and they have eaten, and been satisfied, so that your God YHWH blesses you in all the work of your hand which you do.”
