اَلتَّثْنِيَة 22

١ 1 «لَا تَنْظُرْ ثَوْرَ أَخِيكَ أَوْ شَاتَهُ شَارِدًا وَتَتَغَاضَى عَنْهُ، بَلْ تَرُدُّهُ إِلَى أَخِيكَ لَا مَحَالَةَ.

Thou shall not see thy brother's ox or his sheep go astray, and hide thyself from them. Thou shall surely bring them again to thy brother.

٢ 2 وَإِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ أَخُوكَ قَرِيبًا مِنْكَ أَوْ لَمْ تَعْرِفْهُ، فَضُمَّهُ إِلَى دَاخِلِ بَيْتِكَ. وَيَكُونُ عِنْدَكَ حَتَّى يَطْلُبَهُ أَخُوكَ، حِينَئِذٍ تَرُدُّهُ إِلَيْهِ.

And if thy brother be not near to thee, or if thou do not know him, then thou shall bring it home to thy house, and it shall be with thee until thy brother seeks after it, and thou shall restore it to him.

٣ 3 وَهَكَذَا تَفْعَلُ بِحِمَارِهِ، وَهَكَذَا تَفْعَلُ بِثِيَابِهِ، وَهَكَذَا تَفْعَلُ بِكُلِّ مَفْقُودٍ لِأَخِيكَ يُفْقَدُ مِنْهُ وَتَجِدُهُ. لَا يَحِلُّ لَكَ أَنْ تَتَغَاضَى.

And so shall thou do with his donkey, and so shall thou do with his garment, and so shall thou do with every lost thing of thy brother's, which he has lost, and thou have found. Thou may not hide thyself.

٤ 4 لَا تَنْظُرْ حِمَارَ أَخِيكَ أَوْ ثَوْرَهُ وَاقِعًا فِي ٱلطَّرِيقِ وَتَتَغَافَلُ عَنْهُ بَلْ تُقِيمُهُ مَعَهُ لَا مَحَالَةَ.

Thou shall not see thy brother's donkey or his ox fallen down by the way, and hide thyself from them. Thou shall surely help him to lift them up again.

٥ 5 «لَا يَكُنْ مَتَاعُ رَجُلٍ عَلَى ٱمْرَأَةٍ، وَلَا يَلْبَسْ رَجُلٌ ثَوْبَ ٱمْرَأَةٍ، لِأَنَّ كُلَّ مَنْ يَعْمَلُ ذَلِكَ مَكْرُوهٌ لَدَى ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِكَ.

A woman shall not wear that which pertains to a man, neither shall a man put on a woman's garment, for whoever does these things is an abomination to Jehovah thy God.

٦ 6 «إِذَا ٱتَّفَقَ قُدَّامَكَ عُشُّ طَائِرٍ فِي ٱلطَّرِيقِ فِي شَجَرَةٍ مَّا أَوْ عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ، فِيهِ فِرَاخٌ أَوْ بَيْضٌ، وَٱلْأُمُّ حَاضِنَةٌ ٱلْفِرَاخَ أَوِ ٱلْبَيْضَ، فَلَا تَأْخُذِ ٱلْأُمَّ مَعَ ٱلْأَوْلَادِ.

If a bird's nest chance to be before thee in the way, in any tree or on the ground, with young ones or eggs, and the dam sitting upon the young or upon the eggs, thou shall not take the dam with the young.

٧ 7 أَطْلِقِ ٱلْأُمَّ وَخُذْ لِنَفْسِكَ ٱلْأَوْلَادَ، لِكَيْ يَكُونَ لَكَ خَيْرٌ وَتُطِيلَ ٱلْأَيَّامَ.

Thou shall surely let the dam go, but the young thou may take to thyself, that it may be well with thee, and that thou may prolong thy days.

٨ 8 «إِذَا بَنَيْتَ بَيْتًا جَدِيدًا، فَٱعْمَلْ حَائِطًا لِسَطْحِكَ لِئَلَّا تَجْلِبَ دَمًا عَلَى بَيْتِكَ إِذَا سَقَطَ عَنْهُ سَاقِطٌ.

When thou build a new house, then thou shall make a guard rail for thy roof, that thou not bring blood upon thy house, if any man falls from there.

٩ 9 «لَا تَزْرَعْ حَقْلَكَ صِنْفَيْنِ، لِئَلَّا يَتَقَدَّسَ ٱلْمِلْءُ: ٱلزَّرْعُ ٱلَّذِي تَزْرَعُ وَمَحْصُولُ ٱلْحَقْلِ.

Thou shall not sow thy vineyard with two kinds of seed, lest the whole fruit be forfeited: the seed which thou have sown, and the increase of the vineyard.

١٠ 10 لَا تَحْرُثْ عَلَى ثَوْرٍ وَحِمَارٍ مَعًا.

Thou shall not plow with an ox and a donkey together.

١١ 11 لَا تَلْبَسْ ثَوْبًا مُخْتَلَطًا صُوفًا وَكَتَّانًا مَعًا.

Thou shall not wear a mingled stuff, wool and linen together.

١٢ 12 «اِعْمَلْ لِنَفْسِكَ جَدَائِلَ عَلَى أَرْبَعَةِ أَطْرَافِ ثَوْبِكَ ٱلَّذِي تَتَغَطَّى بِهِ.

Thou shall make for thee hems upon the four borders of thy clothing, with which thou cover thyself.

١٣ 13 «إِذَا ٱتَّخَذَ رَجُلٌ ٱمْرَأَةً وَحِينَ دَخَلَ عَلَيْهَا أَبْغَضَهَا،

If any man takes a wife, and goes in to her, and dislikes her,

١٤ 14 وَنَسَبَ إِلَيْهَا أَسْبَابَ كَلَامٍ، وَأَشَاعَ عَنْهَا ٱسْمًا رَدِيًّا، وَقَالَ: هَذِهِ ٱلْمَرْأَةُ ٱتَّخَذْتُهَا وَلَمَّا دَنَوْتُ مِنْهَا لَمْ أَجِدْ لَهَا عُذْرَةً.

and charges her with shameful things, and brings up an evil name upon her, and says, I took this woman, and when I came near to her, I did not find in her the tokens of virginity,

١٥ 15 يَأْخُذُ ٱلْفَتَاةَ أَبُوهَا وَأُمُّهَا وَيُخْرِجَانِ عَلَامَةَ عُذْرَتِهَا إِلَى شُيُوخِ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ إِلَى ٱلْبَابِ،

then the father of the damsel, and her mother, shall take and bring forth the tokens of the damsel's virginity to the elders of the city in the gate.

١٦ 16 وَيَقُولُ أَبُو ٱلْفَتَاةِ لِلشُّيُوخِ: أَعْطَيْتُ هَذَا ٱلرَّجُلَ ٱبْنَتِي زَوْجَةً فَأَبْغَضَهَا.

And the damsel's father shall say to the elders, I gave my daughter to this man to wife, and he dislikes her.

١٧ 17 وَهَا هُوَ قَدْ جَعَلَ أَسْبَابَ كَلَامٍ قَائِلًا: لَمْ أَجِدْ لِبِنْتِكَ عُذْرَةً. وَهَذِهِ عَلَامَةُ عُذْرَةِ ٱبْنَتِي. وَيَبْسُطَانِ ٱلثَّوْبَ أَمَامَ شُيُوخِ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ.

And, lo, he has charged her with shameful things, saying, I did not find in thy daughter the tokens of virginity, and yet these are the tokens of my daughter's virginity. And they shall spread the garment before the elders of the city.

١٨ 18 فَيَأْخُذُ شُيُوخُ تِلْكَ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ ٱلرَّجُلَ وَيُؤَدِّبُونَهُ

And the elders of that city shall take the man and chastise him,

١٩ 19 وَيُغْرِمُونَهُ بِمِئَةٍ مِنَ ٱلْفِضَّةِ، وَيُعْطُونَهَا لِأَبِي ٱلْفَتَاةِ، لِأَنَّهُ أَشَاعَ ٱسْمًا رَدِيًّا عَنْ عَذْرَاءَ مِنْ إِسْرَائِيلَ. فَتَكُونُ لَهُ زَوْجَةً. لَا يَقْدِرُ أَنْ يُطَلِّقَهَا كُلَّ أَيَّامِهِ.

and they shall fine him a hundred shekels of silver, and give them to the father of the damsel, because he has brought up an evil name upon a virgin of Israel, and she shall be his wife. He may not put her away all his days.

٢٠ 20 «وَلَكِنْ إِنْ كَانَ هَذَا ٱلْأَمْرُ صَحِيحًا، لَمْ تُوجَدْ عُذْرَةٌ لِلْفَتَاةِ.

But if this thing be true, that the tokens of virginity were not found in the damsel,

٢١ 21 يُخْرِجُونَ ٱلْفَتَاةَ إِلَى بَابِ بَيْتِ أَبِيهَا، وَيَرْجُمُهَا رِجَالُ مَدِينَتِهَا بِٱلْحِجَارَةِ حَتَّى تَمُوتَ، لِأَنَّهَا عَمِلَتْ قَبَاحَةً فِي إِسْرَائِيلَ بِزِنَاهَا فِي بَيْتِ أَبِيهَا. فَتَنْزِعُ ٱلشَّرَّ مِنْ وَسَطِكَ.

then they shall bring the damsel out to the door of her father's house, and the men of her city shall stone her to death with stones, because she has wrought folly in Israel, to play the harlot in her father's house. So shall thou put away the evil from the midst of thee.

٢٢ 22 «إِذَا وُجِدَ رَجُلٌ مُضْطَجِعًا مَعَ ٱمْرَأَةٍ زَوْجَةِ بَعْلٍ، يُقْتَلُ ٱلِٱثْنَانِ: ٱلرَّجُلُ ٱلْمُضْطَجِعُ مَعَ ٱلْمَرْأَةِ، وَٱلْمَرْأَةُ. فَتَنْزِعُ ٱلشَّرَّ مِنْ إِسْرَائِيلَ.

If a man be found lying with a woman married to a husband, then they shall both of them die, the man that lay with the woman, and the woman. So shall thou put away the evil from Israel.

٢٣ 23 «إِذَا كَانَتْ فَتَاةٌ عَذْرَاءُ مَخْطُوبَةً لِرَجُلٍ، فَوَجَدَهَا رَجُلٌ فِي ٱلْمَدِينَةِ وَٱضْطَجَعَ مَعَهَا،

If there be a damsel who is a virgin betrothed to a husband, and a man finds her in the city, and lies with her,

٢٤ 24 فَأَخْرِجُوهُمَا كِلَيْهِمَا إِلَى بَابِ تِلْكَ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ وَٱرْجُمُوهُمَا بِٱلْحِجَارَةِ حَتَّى يَمُوتَا. ٱلْفَتَاةُ مِنْ أَجْلِ أَنَّهَا لَمْ تَصْرُخْ فِي ٱلْمَدِينَةِ، وَٱلرَّجُلُ مِنْ أَجْلِ أَنَّهُ أَذَلَّ ٱمْرَأَةَ صَاحِبِهِ. فَتَنْزِعُ ٱلشَّرَّ مِنْ وَسَطِكَ.

then ye shall bring them both out to the gate of that city. And ye shall stone them to death with stones, the damsel, because she did not cry out, being in the city, and the man, because he has humbled his neighbor's wife. So thou shall put away the evil from the midst of thee.

٢٥ 25 وَلَكِنْ إِنْ وَجَدَ ٱلرَّجُلُ ٱلْفَتَاةَ ٱلْمَخْطُوبَةَ فِي ٱلْحَقْلِ وَأَمْسَكَهَا ٱلرَّجُلُ وَٱضْطَجَعَ مَعَهَا، يَمُوتُ ٱلرَّجُلُ ٱلَّذِي ٱضْطَجَعَ مَعَهَا وَحْدَهُ.

But if the man finds the damsel who is betrothed in the field, and the man forces her, and lies with her, then only the man who lay with her shall die,

٢٦ 26 وَأَمَّا ٱلْفَتَاةُ فَلَا تَفْعَلْ بِهَا شَيْئًا. لَيْسَ عَلَى ٱلْفَتَاةِ خَطِيَّةٌ لِلْمَوْتِ، بَلْ كَمَا يَقُومُ رَجُلٌ عَلَى صَاحِبِهِ وَيَقْتُلُهُ قَتْلًا. هَكَذَا هَذَا ٱلْأَمْرُ.

but to the damsel thou shall do nothing. There is in the damsel no sin worthy of death. For as when a man rises against his neighbor, and kills him, even so is this matter,

٢٧ 27 إِنَّهُ فِي ٱلْحَقْلِ وَجَدَهَا، فَصَرَخَتِ ٱلْفَتَاةُ ٱلْمَخْطُوبَةُ فَلَمْ يَكُنْ مَنْ يُخَلِّصُهَا.

for he found her in the field, the betrothed damsel cried out, and there was none to save her.

٢٨ 28 «إِذَا وَجَدَ رَجُلٌ فَتَاةً عَذْرَاءَ غَيْرَ مَخْطُوبَةٍ، فَأَمْسَكَهَا وَٱضْطَجَعَ مَعَهَا، فَوُجِدَا.

If a man finds a damsel who is a virgin, who is not betrothed, and lays hold on her, and lies with her, and they be found,

٢٩ 29 يُعْطِي ٱلرَّجُلُ ٱلَّذِي ٱضْطَجَعَ مَعَهَا لِأَبِي ٱلْفَتَاةِ خَمْسِينَ مِنَ ٱلْفِضَّةِ، وَتَكُونُ هِيَ لَهُ زَوْجَةً مِنْ أَجْلِ أَنَّهُ قَدْ أَذَلَّهَا. لَا يَقْدِرُ أَنْ يُطَلِّقَهَا كُلَّ أَيَّامِهِ.

then the man who lay with her shall give to the damsel's father fifty shekels of silver, and she shall be his wife, because he has humbled her. He may not put her away all his days.

٣٠ 30 «لَا يَتَّخِذْ رَجُلٌ ٱمْرَأَةَ أَبِيهِ، وَلَا يَكْشِفْ ذَيْلَ أَبِيهِ.

A man shall not take his father's wife, and shall not uncover his father's skirt.
