اَلتَّثْنِيَة 24

١ 1 «إِذَا أَخَذَ رَجُلٌ ٱمْرَأَةً وَتَزَوَّجَ بِهَا، فَإِنْ لَمْ تَجِدْ نِعْمَةً فِي عَيْنَيْهِ لِأَنَّهُ وَجَدَ فِيهَا عَيْبَ شَيْءٍ، وَكَتَبَ لَهَا كِتَابَ طَلَاقٍ وَدَفَعَهُ إِلَى يَدِهَا وَأَطْلَقَهَا مِنْ بَيْتِهِ،

When a man taketh a wife, and marrieth her, then it shall be, if she find no favor in his eyes, because he hath found some unseemly thing in her, that he shall write her a bill of divorcement, and give it in her hand, and send her out of his house.

٢ 2 وَمَتَى خَرَجَتْ مِنْ بَيْتِهِ ذَهَبَتْ وَصَارَتْ لِرَجُلٍ آخَرَ،

And when she is departed out of his house, she may go and be another man’s [wife].

٣ 3 فَإِنْ أَبْغَضَهَا ٱلرَّجُلُ ٱلْأَخِيرُ وَكَتَبَ لَهَا كِتَابَ طَلَاقٍ وَدَفَعَهُ إِلَى يَدِهَا وَأَطْلَقَهَا مِنْ بَيْتِهِ، أَوْ إِذَا مَاتَ ٱلرَّجُلُ ٱلْأَخِيرُ ٱلَّذِي ٱتَّخَذَهَا لَهُ زَوْجَةً،

And if the latter husband hate her, and write her a bill of divorcement, and give it in her hand, and send her out of his house; or if the latter husband die, who took her to be his wife;

٤ 4 لَا يَقْدِرُ زَوْجُهَا ٱلْأَوَّلُ ٱلَّذِي طَلَّقَهَا أَنْ يَعُودَ يَأْخُذُهَا لِتَصِيرَ لَهُ زَوْجَةً بَعْدَ أَنْ تَنَجَّسَتْ. لِأَنَّ ذَلِكَ رِجْسٌ لَدَى ٱلرَّبِّ. فَلَا تَجْلِبْ خَطِيَّةً عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ ٱلَّتِي يُعْطِيكَ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكَ نَصِيبًا.

her former husband, who sent her away, may not take her again to be his wife, after that she is defiled; for that is abomination before Jehovah: and thou shalt not cause the land to sin, which Jehovah thy God giveth thee for an inheritance.

٥ 5 «إِذَا ٱتَّخَذَ رَجُلٌ ٱمْرَأَةً جَدِيدَةً، فَلَا يَخْرُجْ فِي ٱلْجُنْدِ، وَلَا يُحْمَلْ عَلَيْهِ أَمْرٌ مَّا. حُرًّا يَكُونُ فِي بَيْتِهِ سَنَةً وَاحِدَةً، وَيَسُرُّ ٱمْرَأَتَهُ ٱلَّتِي أَخَذَهَا.

When a man taketh a new wife, he shall not go out in the host, neither shall he be charged with any business: he shall be free at home one year, and shall cheer his wife whom he hath taken.

٦ 6 «لَا يَسْتَرْهِنْ أَحَدٌ رَحًى أَوْ مِرْدَاتَهَا، لِأَنَّهُ إِنَّمَا يَسْتَرْهِنُ حَيَاةً.

No man shall take the mill or the upper millstone to pledge; for he taketh [a man’s] life to pledge.

٧ 7 «إِذَا وُجِدَ رَجُلٌ قَدْ سَرَقَ نَفْسًا مِنْ إِخْوَتِهِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ وَٱسْتَرَقَّهُ وَبَاعَهُ، يَمُوتُ ذَلِكَ ٱلسَّارِقُ، فَتَنْزِعُ ٱلشَّرَّ مِنْ وَسَطِكَ.

If a man be found stealing any of his brethren of the children of Israel, and he deal with him as a slave, or sell him; then that thief shall die: so shalt thou put away the evil from the midst of thee.

٨ 8 «اِحْرِصْ فِي ضَرْبَةِ ٱلْبَرَصِ لِتَحْفَظَ جِدًّا وَتَعْمَلَ حَسَبَ كُلِّ مَا يُعَلِّمُكَ ٱلْكَهَنَةُ ٱللَّاوِيُّونَ. كَمَا أَمَرْتُهُمْ تَحْرِصُونَ أَنْ تَعْمَلُوا.

Take heed in the plague of leprosy, that thou observe diligently, and do according to all that the priests the Levites shall teach you: as I commanded them, so ye shall observe to do.

٩ 9 اُذْكُرْ مَا صَنَعَ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكَ بِمَرْيَمَ فِي ٱلطَّرِيقِ عِنْدَ خُرُوجِكُمْ مِنْ مِصْرَ.

Remember what Jehovah thy God did unto Miriam, by the way as ye came forth out of Egypt.

١٠ 10 «إِذَا أَقْرَضْتَ صَاحِبَكَ قَرْضًا مَّا، فَلَا تَدْخُلْ بَيْتَهُ لِكَيْ تَرْتَهِنَ رَهْنًا مِنْهُ.

When thou dost lend thy neighbor any manner of loan, thou shalt not go into his house to fetch his pledge.

١١ 11 فِي ٱلْخَارِجِ تَقِفُ، وَٱلرَّجُلُ ٱلَّذِي تُقْرِضُهُ يُخْرِجُ إِلَيْكَ ٱلرَّهْنَ إِلَى ٱلْخَارِجِ.

Thou shalt stand without, and the man to whom thou dost lend shall bring forth the pledge without unto thee.

١٢ 12 وَإِنْ كَانَ رَجُلًا فَقِيرًا فَلَا تَنَمْ فِي رَهْنِهِ.

And if he be a poor man, thou shalt not sleep with his pledge;

١٣ 13 رُدَّ إِلَيْهِ ٱلرَّهْنَ عِنْدَ غُرُوبِ ٱلشَّمْسِ، لِكَيْ يَنَامَ فِي ثَوْبِهِ وَيُبَارِكَكَ، فَيَكُونَ لَكَ بِرٌّ لَدَى ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِكَ.

thou shalt surely restore to him the pledge when the sun goeth down, that he may sleep in his garment, and bless thee: and it shall be righteousness unto thee before Jehovah thy God.

١٤ 14 «لَا تَظْلِمْ أَجِيرًا مِسْكِينًا وَفَقِيرًا مِنْ إِخْوَتِكَ أَوْ مِنَ ٱلْغُرَبَاءِ ٱلَّذِينَ فِي أَرْضِكَ، فِي أَبْوَابِكَ.

Thou shalt not oppress a hired servant that is poor and needy, whether he be of thy brethren, or of thy sojourners that are in thy land within thy gates:

١٥ 15 فِي يَوْمِهِ تُعْطِيهِ أُجْرَتَهُ، وَلَا تَغْرُبْ عَلَيْهَا ٱلشَّمْسُ، لِأَنَّهُ فَقِيرٌ وَإِلَيْهَا حَامِلٌ نَفْسَهُ، لِئَلَّا يَصْرُخَ عَلَيْكَ إِلَى ٱلرَّبِّ فَتَكُونَ عَلَيْكَ خَطِيَّةٌ.

in his day thou shalt give him his hire, neither shall the sun go down upon it (for he is poor, and setteth his heart upon it); lest he cry against thee unto Jehovah, and it be sin unto thee.

١٦ 16 «لَا يُقْتَلُ ٱلْآبَاءُ عَنِ ٱلْأَوْلَادِ، وَلَا يُقْتَلُ ٱلْأَوْلَادُ عَنِ ٱلْآبَاءِ. كُلُّ إِنْسَانٍ بِخَطِيَّتِهِ يُقْتَلُ.

The fathers shall not be put to death for the children, neither shall the children be put to death for the fathers: every man shall be put to death for his own sin.

١٧ 17 «لَا تُعَوِّجْ حُكْمَ ٱلْغَرِيبِ وَٱلْيَتِيمِ، وَلَا تَسْتَرْهِنْ ثَوْبَ ٱلْأَرْمَلَةِ.

Thou shalt not wrest the justice [due] to the sojourner, [or] to the fatherless, nor take the widow’s raiment to pledge;

١٨ 18 وَٱذْكُرْ أَنَّكَ كُنْتَ عَبْدًا فِي مِصْرَ فَفَدَاكَ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكَ مِنْ هُنَاكَ. لِذَلِكَ أَنَا أُوصِيكَ أَنْ تَعْمَلَ هَذَا ٱلْأَمْرَ.

but thou shalt remember that thou wast a bondman in Egypt, and Jehovah thy God redeemed thee thence: therefore I command thee to do this thing.

١٩ 19 «إِذَا حَصَدْتَ حَصِيدَكَ فِي حَقْلِكَ وَنَسِيتَ حُزْمَةً فِي ٱلْحَقْلِ، فَلَا تَرْجِعْ لِتَأْخُذَهَا، لِلْغَرِيبِ وَٱلْيَتِيمِ وَٱلْأَرْمَلَةِ تَكُونُ، لِكَيْ يُبَارِكَكَ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكَ فِي كُلِّ عَمَلِ يَدَيْكَ.

When thou reapest thy harvest in thy field, and hast forgot a sheaf in the field, thou shalt not go again to fetch it: it shall be for the sojourner, for the fatherless, and for the widow; that Jehovah thy God may bless thee in all the work of thy hands.

٢٠ 20 وَإِذَا خَبَطْتَ زَيْتُونَكَ فَلَا تُرَاجِعِ ٱلْأَغْصَانَ وَرَاءَكَ، لِلْغَرِيبِ وَٱلْيَتِيمِ وَٱلْأَرْمَلَةِ يَكُونُ.

When thou beatest thine olive-tree, thou shalt not go over the boughs again: it shall be for the sojourner, for the fatherless, and for the widow.

٢١ 21 إِذَا قَطَفْتَ كَرْمَكَ فَلَا تُعَلِّلْهُ وَرَاءَكَ. لِلْغَرِيبِ وَٱلْيَتِيمِ وَٱلْأَرْمَلَةِ يَكُونُ.

When thou gatherest [the grapes of] thy vineyard, thou shalt not glean it after thee: it shall be for the sojourner, for the fatherless, and for the widow.

٢٢ 22 وَٱذْكُرْ أَنَّكَ كُنْتَ عَبْدًا فِي أَرْضِ مِصْرَ. لِذَلِكَ أَنَا أُوصِيكَ أَنْ تَعْمَلَ هَذَا ٱلْأَمْرَ.

And thou shalt remember that thou wast a bondman in the land of Egypt: therefore I command thee to do this thing.
