اَلتَّثْنِيَة 23

١ 1 «لَا يَدْخُلْ مَخْصِيٌّ بِٱلرَّضِّ أَوْ مَجْبُوبٌ فِي جَمَاعَةِ ٱلرَّبِّ.

He that is wounded in the stones, or hath his privy member cut off, shall not enter into the assembly of Jehovah.

٢ 2 لَا يَدْخُلِ ٱبْنُ زِنًى فِي جَمَاعَةِ ٱلرَّبِّ. حَتَّى ٱلْجِيلِ ٱلْعَاشِرِ لَا يَدْخُلْ مِنْهُ أَحَدٌ فِي جَمَاعَةِ ٱلرَّبِّ.

A bastard shall not enter into the assembly of Jehovah; even to the tenth generation shall none of his enter into the assembly of Jehovah.

٣ 3 لَا يَدْخُلْ عَمُّونِيٌّ وَلَا مُوآبِيٌّ فِي جَمَاعَةِ ٱلرَّبِّ. حَتَّى ٱلْجِيلِ ٱلْعَاشِرِ لَا يَدْخُلْ مِنْهُمْ أَحَدٌ فِي جَمَاعَةِ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ،

An Ammonite or a Moabite shall not enter into the assembly of Jehovah; even to the tenth generation shall none belonging to them enter into the assembly of Jehovah for ever:

٤ 4 مِنْ أَجْلِ أَنَّهُمْ لَمْ يُلَاقُوكُمْ بِٱلْخُبْزِ وَٱلْمَاءِ فِي ٱلطَّرِيقِ عِنْدَ خُرُوجِكُمْ مِنْ مِصْرَ، وَلِأَنَّهُمُ ٱسْتَأْجَرُوا عَلَيْكَ بَلْعَامَ بْنَ بَعُورَ مِنْ فَتُورِ أَرَامِ ٱلنَّهْرَيْنِ لِكَيْ يَلْعَنَكَ.

because they met you not with bread and with water in the way, when ye came forth out of Egypt, and because they hired against thee Balaam the son of Beor from Pethor of Mesopotamia, to curse thee.

٥ 5 وَلَكِنْ لَمْ يَشَإِ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكَ أَنْ يَسْمَعَ لِبَلْعَامَ، فَحَوَّلَ لِأَجْلِكَ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكَ ٱللَّعْنَةَ إِلَى بَرَكَةٍ، لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ إِلَهَكَ قَدْ أَحَبَّكَ.

Nevertheless Jehovah thy God would not hearken unto Balaam; but Jehovah thy God turned the curse into a blessing unto thee, because Jehovah thy God loved thee.

٦ 6 لَا تَلْتَمِسْ سَلَامَهُمْ وَلَا خَيْرَهُمْ كُلَّ أَيَّامِكَ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ.

Thou shalt not seek their peace nor their prosperity all thy days for ever.

٧ 7 لَا تَكْرَهْ أَدُومِيًّا لِأَنَّهُ أَخُوكَ. لَا تَكْرَهْ مِصْرِيًّا لِأَنَّكَ كُنْتَ نَزِيلًا فِي أَرْضِهِ.

Thou shalt not abhor an Edomite; for he is thy brother: thou shalt not abhor an Egyptian; because thou wast a sojourner in his land.

٨ 8 ٱلْأَوْلَادُ ٱلَّذِينَ يُولَدُونَ لَهُمْ فِي ٱلْجِيلِ ٱلثَّالِثِ يَدْخُلُونَ مِنْهُمْ فِي جَمَاعَةِ ٱلرَّبِّ.

The children of the third generation that are born unto them shall enter into the assembly of Jehovah.

٩ 9 «إِذَا خَرَجْتَ فِي جَيْشٍ عَلَى أَعْدَائِكَ فَٱحْتَرِزْ مِنْ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ رَدِيءٍ.

When thou goest forth in camp against thine enemies, then thou shalt keep thee from every evil thing.

١٠ 10 إِنْ كَانَ فِيكَ رَجُلٌ غَيْرَ طَاهِرٍ مِنْ عَارِضِ ٱللَّيْلِ، يَخْرُجُ إِلَى خَارِجِ ٱلْمَحَلَّةِ. لَا يَدْخُلْ إِلَى دَاخِلِ ٱلْمَحَلَّةِ.

If there be among you any man, that is not clean by reason of that which chanceth him by night, then shall he go abroad out of the camp, he shall not come within the camp:

١١ 11 وَنَحْوَ إِقْبَالِ ٱلْمَسَاءِ يَغْتَسِلُ بِمَاءٍ، وَعِنْدَ غُرُوبِ ٱلشَّمْسِ يَدْخُلُ إِلَى دَاخِلِ ٱلْمَحَلَّةِ.

but it shall be, when evening cometh on, he shall bathe himself in water; and when the sun is down, he shall come within the camp.

١٢ 12 وَيَكُونُ لَكَ مَوْضِعٌ خَارِجَ ٱلْمَحَلَّةِ لِتَخْرُجَ إِلَيْهِ خَارِجًا.

Thou shalt have a place also without the camp, whither thou shalt go forth abroad:

١٣ 13 وَيَكُونُ لَكَ وَتَدٌ مَعَ عُدَّتِكَ لِتَحْفِرَ بِهِ عِنْدَمَا تَجْلِسُ خَارِجًا وَتَرْجِعُ وَتُغَطِّي بِرَازَكَ.

and thou shalt have a paddle among thy weapons; and it shall be, when thou sittest down abroad, thou shalt dig therewith, and shalt turn back and cover that which cometh from thee:

١٤ 14 لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ إِلَهَكَ سَائِرٌ فِي وَسَطِ مَحَلَّتِكَ، لِكَيْ يُنْقِذَكَ وَيَدْفَعَ أَعْدَاءَكَ أَمَامَكَ. فَلْتَكُنْ مَحَلَّتُكَ مُقَدَّسَةً، لِئَلَّا يَرَى فِيكَ قَذَرَ شَيْءٍ فَيَرْجِعَ عَنْكَ.

for Jehovah thy God walketh in the midst of thy camp, to deliver thee, and to give up thine enemies before thee; therefore shall thy camp be holy, that he may not see an unclean thing in thee, and turn away from thee.

١٥ 15 «عَبْدًا أَبَقَ إِلَيْكَ مِنْ مَوْلَاهُ لَا تُسَلِّمْ إِلَى مَوْلَاهُ.

Thou shalt not deliver unto his master a servant that is escaped from his master unto thee:

١٦ 16 عِنْدَكَ يُقِيمُ فِي وَسَطِكَ، فِي ٱلْمَكَانِ ٱلَّذِي يَخْتَارُهُ فِي أَحَدِ أَبْوَابِكَ حَيْثُ يَطِيبُ لَهُ. لَا تَظْلِمْهُ.

he shall dwell with thee, in the midst of thee, in the place which he shall choose within one of thy gates, where it pleaseth him best: thou shalt not oppress him.

١٧ 17 «لَا تَكُنْ زَانِيَةٌ مِنْ بَنَاتِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَلَا يَكُنْ مَأْبُونٌ مِنْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ.

There shall be no prostitute of the daughters of Israel, neither shall there be a sodomite of the sons of Israel.

١٨ 18 لَا تُدْخِلْ أُجْرَةَ زَانِيَةٍ وَلَا ثَمَنَ كَلْبٍ إِلَى بَيْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِكَ عَنْ نَذْرٍ مَّا، لِأَنَّهُمَا كِلَيْهِمَا رِجْسٌ لَدَى ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِكَ.

Thou shalt not bring the hire of a harlot, or the wages of a dog, into the house of Jehovah thy God for any vow: for even both these are an abomination unto Jehovah thy God.

١٩ 19 «لَا تُقْرِضْ أَخَاكَ بِرِبًا، رِبَا فِضَّةٍ، أَوْ رِبَا طَعَامٍ، أَوْ رِبَا شَيْءٍ مَّا مِمَّا يُقْرَضُ بِرِبًا،

Thou shalt not lend upon interest to thy brother; interest of money, interest of victuals, interest of anything that is lent upon interest.

٢٠ 20 لِلْأَجْنَبِيِّ تُقْرِضُ بِرِبًا، وَلَكِنْ لِأَخِيكَ لَا تُقْرِضْ بِرِبًا، لِكَيْ يُبَارِكَكَ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكَ فِي كُلِّ مَا تَمْتَدُّ إِلَيْهِ يَدُكَ فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ ٱلَّتِي أَنْتَ دَاخِلٌ إِلَيْهَا لِتَمْتَلِكَهَا.

Unto a foreigner thou mayest lend upon interest; but unto thy brother thou shalt not lend upon interest, that Jehovah thy God may bless thee in all that thou puttest thy hand unto, in the land whither thou goest in to possess it.

٢١ 21 «إِذَا نَذَرْتَ نَذْرًا لِلرَّبِّ إِلَهِكَ فَلَا تُؤَخِّرْ وَفَاءَهُ، لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ إِلَهَكَ يَطْلُبُهُ مِنْكَ فَتَكُونُ عَلَيْكَ خَطِيَّةٌ.

When thou shalt vow a vow unto Jehovah thy God, thou shalt not be slack to pay it: for Jehovah thy God will surely require it of thee; and it would be sin in thee.

٢٢ 22 وَلَكِنْ إِذَا ٱمْتَنَعْتَ أَنْ تَنْذُرَ لَا تَكُونُ عَلَيْكَ خَطِيَّةٌ.

But if thou shalt forbear to vow, it shall be no sin in thee.

٢٣ 23 مَا خَرَجَ مِنْ شَفَتَيْكَ ٱحْفَظْ وَٱعْمَلْ، كَمَا نَذَرْتَ لِلرَّبِّ إِلَهِكَ تَبَرُّعًا، كَمَا تَكَلَّمَ فَمُكَ.

That which is gone out of thy lips thou shalt observe and do; according as thou hast vowed unto Jehovah thy God, a freewill-offering, which thou hast promised with thy mouth.

٢٤ 24 «إِذَا دَخَلْتَ كَرْمَ صَاحِبِكَ فَكُلْ عِنَبًا حَسَبَ شَهْوَةِ نَفْسِكَ، شَبْعَتَكَ. وَلَكِنْ فِي وِعَائِكَ لَا تَجْعَلْ.

When thou comest into thy neighbor’s vineyard, then thou mayest eat of grapes thy fill at thine own pleasure; but thou shalt not put any in thy vessel.

٢٥ 25 إِذَا دَخَلْتَ زَرْعَ صَاحِبِكَ فَٱقْطِفْ سَنَابِلَ بِيَدِكَ، وَلَكِنْ مِنْجَلًا لَا تَرْفَعْ عَلَى زَرْعِ صَاحِبِكَ.

When thou comest into thy neighbor’s standing grain, then thou mayest pluck the ears with thy hand; but thou shalt not move a sickle unto thy neighbor’s standing grain.
