اَلتَّثْنِيَة 16

١ 1 «اِحْفَظْ شَهْرَ أَبِيبَ وَٱعْمَلْ فِصْحًا لِلرَّبِّ إِلَهِكَ، لِأَنَّهُ فِي شَهْرِ أَبِيبَ أَخْرَجَكَ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكَ مِنْ مِصْرَ لَيْلًا.

'Observe the month of Abib — and thou hast made a passover to Jehovah thy God, for in the month of Abib hath Jehovah thy God brought thee out of Egypt by night;

٢ 2 فَتَذْبَحُ ٱلْفِصْحَ لِلرَّبِّ إِلَهِكَ غَنَمًا وَبَقَرًا فِي ٱلْمَكَانِ ٱلَّذِي يَخْتَارُهُ ٱلرَّبُّ لِيُحِلَّ ٱسْمَهُ فِيهِ.

and thou hast sacrificed a passover to Jehovah thy God, of the flock, and of the herd, in the place which Jehovah doth choose to cause His name to tabernacle there.

٣ 3 لَا تَأْكُلْ عَلَيْهِ خَمِيرًا. سَبْعَةَ أَيَّامٍ تَأْكُلُ عَلَيْهِ فَطِيرًا، خُبْزَ ٱلْمَشَقَّةِ، لِأَنَّكَ بِعَجَلَةٍ خَرَجْتَ مِنْ أَرْضِ مِصْرَ، لِكَيْ تَذْكُرَ يَوْمَ خُرُوجِكَ مِنْ أَرْضِ مِصْرَ كُلَّ أَيَّامِ حَيَاتِكَ.

'Thou dost not eat with it any fermented thing, seven days thou dost eat with it unleavened things, bread of affliction; for in haste thou hast come out of the land of Egypt; so that thou dost remember the day of thy coming out of the land of Egypt all days of thy life;

٤ 4 وَلَا يُرَ عِنْدَكَ خَمِيرٌ فِي جَمِيعِ تُخُومِكَ سَبْعَةَ أَيَّامٍ، وَلَا يَبِتْ شَيْءٌ مِنَ ٱللَّحْمِ ٱلَّذِي تَذْبَحُ مَسَاءً فِي ٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلْأَوَّلِ إِلَى ٱلْغَدِ.

and there is not seen with thee leaven in all thy border seven days, and there doth not remain of the flesh which thou dost sacrifice at evening on the first day till morning.

٥ 5 لَا يَحِلُّ لَكَ أَنْ تَذْبَحَ ٱلْفِصْحَ فِي أَحَدِ أَبْوَابِكَ ٱلَّتِي يُعْطِيكَ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكَ،

'Thou art not able to sacrifice the passover within any of thy gates which Jehovah thy God is giving to thee,

٦ 6 بَلْ فِي ٱلْمَكَانِ ٱلَّذِي يَخْتَارُهُ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكَ لِيُحِلَّ ٱسْمَهُ فِيهِ. هُنَاكَ تَذْبَحُ ٱلْفِصْحَ مَسَاءً نَحْوَ غُرُوبِ ٱلشَّمْسِ فِي مِيعَادِ خُرُوجِكَ مِنْ مِصْرَ،

except at the place which Jehovah thy God doth choose to cause His name to tabernacle — there thou dost sacrifice the passover in the evening, at the going in of the sun, the season of thy coming out of Egypt;

٧ 7 وَتَطْبُخُ وَتَأْكُلُ فِي ٱلْمَكَانِ ٱلَّذِي يَخْتَارُهُ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكَ، ثُمَّ تَنْصَرِفُ فِي ٱلْغَدِ وَتَذْهَبُ إِلَى خِيَامِكَ.

and thou hast cooked and eaten in the place on which Jehovah thy God doth fix, and hast turned in the morning, and gone to thy tents;

٨ 8 سِتَّةَ أَيَّامٍ تَأْكُلُ فَطِيرًا، وَفِي ٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلسَّابِعِ ٱعْتِكَافٌ لِلرَّبِّ إِلَهِكَ. لَا تَعْمَلْ فِيهِ عَمَلًا.

six days thou dost eat unleavened things, and on the seventh day [is] a restraint to Jehovah thy God; thou dost do no work.

٩ 9 «سَبْعَةَ أَسَابِيعَ تَحْسُبُ لَكَ. مِنِ ٱبْتِدَاءِ ٱلْمِنْجَلِ فِي ٱلزَّرْعِ، تَبْتَدِئُ أَنْ تَحْسُبَ سَبْعَةَ أَسَابِيعَ.

'Seven weeks thou dost number to thee; from the beginning of the sickle among the standing corn thou dost begin to number seven weeks,

١٠ 10 وَتَعْمَلُ عِيدَ أَسَابِيعَ لِلرَّبِّ إِلَهِكَ عَلَى قَدْرِ مَا تَسْمَحُ يَدُكَ أَنْ تُعْطِيَ، كَمَا يُبَارِكُكَ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكَ.

and thou hast made the feast of weeks to Jehovah thy God, a tribute of a free-will offering of thy hand, which thou dost give, as Jehovah thy God doth bless thee.

١١ 11 وَتَفْرَحُ أَمَامَ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِكَ أَنْتَ وَٱبْنُكَ وَٱبْنَتُكَ وَعَبْدُكَ وَأَمَتُكَ وَٱللَّاوِيُّ ٱلَّذِي فِي أَبْوَابِكَ، وَٱلْغَرِيبُ وَٱلْيَتِيمُ وَٱلْأَرْمَلَةُ ٱلَّذِينَ فِي وَسَطِكَ فِي ٱلْمَكَانِ ٱلَّذِي يَخْتَارُهُ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكَ لِيُحِلَّ ٱسْمَهُ فِيهِ.

And thou hast rejoiced before Jehovah thy God, thou, and thy son, and thy daughter, and thy man-servant, and thy handmaid, and the Levite who [is] within thy gates, and the sojourner, and the fatherless, and the widow, who [are] in thy midst, in the place which Jehovah thy God doth choose to cause His name to tabernacle there,

١٢ 12 وَتَذْكُرُ أَنَّكَ كُنْتَ عَبْدًا فِي مِصْرَ وَتَحْفَظُ، وَتَعْمَلُ هَذِهِ ٱلْفَرَائِضَ.

and thou hast remembered that a servant thou hast been in Egypt, and hast observed and done these statutes.

١٣ 13 «تَعْمَلُ لِنَفْسِكَ عِيدَ ٱلْمَظَالِّ سَبْعَةَ أَيَّامٍ عِنْدَمَا تَجْمَعُ مِنْ بَيْدَرِكَ وَمِنْ مِعْصَرَتِكَ.

'The feast of booths thou dost make for thee seven days, in thine in-gathering of thy threshing-floor, and of thy wine-vat;

١٤ 14 وَتَفْرَحُ فِي عِيدِكَ أَنْتَ وَٱبْنُكَ وَٱبْنَتُكَ وَعَبْدُكَ وَأَمَتُكَ وَاللَّاوِيُّ وَٱلْغَرِيبُ وَٱلْيَتِيمُ وَٱلْأَرْمَلَةُ ٱلَّذِينَ فِي أَبْوَابِكَ.

and thou hast rejoiced in thy feast, thou, and thy son, and thy daughter, and thy man-servant, and thy handmaid, and the Levite, and the sojourner, and the fatherless, and the widow, who [are] within thy gates.

١٥ 15 سَبْعَةَ أَيَّامٍ تُعَيِّدُ لِلرَّبِّ إِلَهِكَ فِي ٱلْمَكَانِ ٱلَّذِي يَخْتَارُهُ ٱلرَّبُّ، لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ إِلَهَكَ يُبَارِكُكَ فِي كُلِّ مَحْصُولِكَ وَفِي كُلِّ عَمَلِ يَدَيْكَ، فَلَا تَكُونُ إِلَّا فَرِحًا.

Seven days thou dost feast before Jehovah thy God, in the place which Jehovah doth choose, for Jehovah thy God doth bless thee in all thine increase, and in every work of thy hands, and thou hast been only rejoicing.

١٦ 16 «ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ فِي ٱلسَّنَةِ يَحْضُرُ جَمِيعُ ذُكُورِكَ أَمَامَ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِكَ فِي ٱلْمَكَانِ ٱلَّذِي يَخْتَارُهُ، فِي عِيدِ ٱلْفَطِيرِ وَعِيدِ ٱلْأَسَابِيعِ وَعِيدِ ٱلْمَظَالِّ. وَلَا يَحْضُرُوا أَمَامَ ٱلرَّبِّ فَارِغِينَ.

'Three times in a year doth every one of thy males appear before Jehovah thy God in the place which He doth choose — in the feast of unleavened things, and in the feast of weeks, and in the feast of booths; and they do not appear before Jehovah empty;

١٧ 17 كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ حَسْبَمَا تُعْطِي يَدُهُ، كَبَرَكَةِ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِكَ ٱلَّتِي أَعْطَاكَ.

each according to the gift of his hand, according to the blessing of Jehovah thy God, which He hath given to thee.

١٨ 18 «قُضَاةً وَعُرَفَاءَ تَجْعَلُ لَكَ فِي جَمِيعِ أَبْوَابِكَ ٱلَّتِي يُعْطِيكَ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكَ حَسَبَ أَسْبَاطِكَ، فَيَقْضُونَ لِلشَّعْبِ قَضَاءً عَادِلًا.

'Judges and authorities thou dost make to thee within all thy gates which Jehovah thy God is giving to thee, for thy tribes; and they have judged the people — a righteous judgment.

١٩ 19 لَا تُحَرِّفِ ٱلْقَضَاءَ، وَلَا تَنْظُرْ إِلَى ٱلْوُجُوهِ، وَلَا تَأْخُذْ رَشْوَةً لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّشْوَةَ تُعْمِي أَعْيُنَ ٱلْحُكَمَاءِ وَتُعَوِّجُ كَلَامَ ٱلصِّدِّيقِينَ.

Thou dost not turn aside judgment; thou dost not discern faces, nor take a bribe, for the bribe blindeth the eyes of the wise, and perverteth the words of the righteous.

٢٠ 20 ٱلْعَدْلَ ٱلْعَدْلَ تَتَّبِعُ، لِكَيْ تَحْيَا وَتَمْتَلِكَ ٱلْأَرْضَ ٱلَّتِي يُعْطِيكَ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكَ.

Righteousness — righteousness thou dost pursue, so that thou livest, and hast possessed the land which Jehovah thy God is giving to thee.

٢١ 21 «لَا تَنْصِبْ لِنَفْسِكَ سَارِيَةً مِنْ شَجَرَةٍ مَّا بِجَانِبِ مَذْبَحِ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِكَ ٱلَّذِي تَصْنَعُهُ لَكَ،

'Thou dost not plant for thee a shrine of any trees near the altar of Jehovah thy God, which thou makest for thyself,

٢٢ 22 وَلَا تُقِمْ لَكَ نَصْبًا. ٱلشَّيْءَ ٱلَّذِي يُبْغِضُهُ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكَ.

and thou dost not raise up to thee any standing image which Jehovah thy God is hating.
