اَلتَّثْنِيَة 24
| «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، | ١ 1 |
“When a man takes a wife and has married her, and it has been, if she does not find grace in his eyes (for he has found nakedness in her of anything), then he has written a writing of divorce for her, and given [it] into her hand, and sent her out of his house;
| وَمَتَى خَرَجَتْ مِنْ بَيْتِهِ ذَهَبَتْ وَصَارَتْ لِرَجُلٍ آخَرَ، | ٢ 2 |
when she has gone out of his house, and has gone and been another man’s,
| فَإِنْ أَبْغَضَهَا ٱلرَّجُلُ ٱلْأَخِيرُ وَكَتَبَ لَهَا كِتَابَ طَلَاقٍ وَدَفَعَهُ إِلَى يَدِهَا وَأَطْلَقَهَا مِنْ بَيْتِهِ، أَوْ إِذَا مَاتَ ٱلرَّجُلُ ٱلْأَخِيرُ ٱلَّذِي ٱتَّخَذَهَا لَهُ زَوْجَةً، | ٣ 3 |
and the latter man has hated her, and written a writing of divorce for her, and given [it] into her hand, and sent her out of his house, or when the latter man dies, who has taken her to himself for a wife,
| 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. | ٤ 4 |
her former husband who sent her away is not able to return to take her to be to him for a wife, after that she has become defiled; for it [is] an abomination before YHWH, and you do not cause the land to sin which your God YHWH is giving to you [for] an inheritance.
| «إِذَا ٱتَّخَذَ رَجُلٌ ٱمْرَأَةً جَدِيدَةً، فَلَا يَخْرُجْ فِي ٱلْجُنْدِ، وَلَا يُحْمَلْ عَلَيْهِ أَمْرٌ مَّا. حُرًّا يَكُونُ فِي بَيْتِهِ سَنَةً وَاحِدَةً، وَيَسُرُّ ٱمْرَأَتَهُ ٱلَّتِي أَخَذَهَا. | ٥ 5 |
When a man takes a new wife, he does not go out into the host, and [one] does not pass over to him for anything; he is free at his own house [for] one year, and his wife, whom he has taken, he has made glad.
| «لَا يَسْتَرْهِنْ أَحَدٌ رَحًى أَوْ مِرْدَاتَهَا، لِأَنَّهُ إِنَّمَا يَسْتَرْهِنُ حَيَاةً. | ٦ 6 |
No one takes millstones and rider in pledge, for it [is one’s] life he is taking in pledge.
| «إِذَا وُجِدَ رَجُلٌ قَدْ سَرَقَ نَفْسًا مِنْ إِخْوَتِهِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ وَٱسْتَرَقَّهُ وَبَاعَهُ، يَمُوتُ ذَلِكَ ٱلسَّارِقُ، فَتَنْزِعُ ٱلشَّرَّ مِنْ وَسَطِكَ. | ٧ 7 |
When a man is found stealing a person from his brothers, from the sons of Israel, and has tyrannized over him and sold him, then that thief has died, and you have put away evil out of your midst.
| «اِحْرِصْ فِي ضَرْبَةِ ٱلْبَرَصِ لِتَحْفَظَ جِدًّا وَتَعْمَلَ حَسَبَ كُلِّ مَا يُعَلِّمُكَ ٱلْكَهَنَةُ ٱللَّاوِيُّونَ. كَمَا أَمَرْتُهُمْ تَحْرِصُونَ أَنْ تَعْمَلُوا. | ٨ 8 |
Take heed in the plague of leprosy, to watch greatly, and to do according to all that the priests, the Levites, teach you; you observe to do as I have commanded them;
| اُذْكُرْ مَا صَنَعَ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكَ بِمَرْيَمَ فِي ٱلطَّرِيقِ عِنْدَ خُرُوجِكُمْ مِنْ مِصْرَ. | ٩ 9 |
remember that which your God YHWH has done to Miriam in the way, in your coming out of Egypt.
| «إِذَا أَقْرَضْتَ صَاحِبَكَ قَرْضًا مَّا، فَلَا تَدْخُلْ بَيْتَهُ لِكَيْ تَرْتَهِنَ رَهْنًا مِنْهُ. | ١٠ 10 |
When you lift up a debt of anything on your brother, you do not go into his house to obtain his pledge;
| فِي ٱلْخَارِجِ تَقِفُ، وَٱلرَّجُلُ ٱلَّذِي تُقْرِضُهُ يُخْرِجُ إِلَيْكَ ٱلرَّهْنَ إِلَى ٱلْخَارِجِ. | ١١ 11 |
you stand at the outside, and the man on whom you are lifting [it] up is bringing out the pledge to you at the outside.
| وَإِنْ كَانَ رَجُلًا فَقِيرًا فَلَا تَنَمْ فِي رَهْنِهِ. | ١٢ 12 |
And if he is a poor man, you do not lie down with his pledge;
| رُدَّ إِلَيْهِ ٱلرَّهْنَ عِنْدَ غُرُوبِ ٱلشَّمْسِ، لِكَيْ يَنَامَ فِي ثَوْبِهِ وَيُبَارِكَكَ، فَيَكُونَ لَكَ بِرٌّ لَدَى ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِكَ. | ١٣ 13 |
you certainly give back the pledge to him at the going in of the sun, and he has lain down in his own raiment and has blessed you; and it is righteousness to you before your God YHWH.
| «لَا تَظْلِمْ أَجِيرًا مِسْكِينًا وَفَقِيرًا مِنْ إِخْوَتِكَ أَوْ مِنَ ٱلْغُرَبَاءِ ٱلَّذِينَ فِي أَرْضِكَ، فِي أَبْوَابِكَ. | ١٤ 14 |
You do not oppress a hired worker, poor and needy, of your brothers or of your sojourner who is in your land within your gates;
| فِي يَوْمِهِ تُعْطِيهِ أُجْرَتَهُ، وَلَا تَغْرُبْ عَلَيْهَا ٱلشَّمْسُ، لِأَنَّهُ فَقِيرٌ وَإِلَيْهَا حَامِلٌ نَفْسَهُ، لِئَلَّا يَصْرُخَ عَلَيْكَ إِلَى ٱلرَّبِّ فَتَكُونَ عَلَيْكَ خَطِيَّةٌ. | ١٥ 15 |
you give his hire in his day, and the sun does not go in on it, for he [is] poor, and he is supporting his life on it, lest he cries against you to YHWH, and it has been sin in you.
| «لَا يُقْتَلُ ٱلْآبَاءُ عَنِ ٱلْأَوْلَادِ، وَلَا يُقْتَلُ ٱلْأَوْلَادُ عَنِ ٱلْآبَاءِ. كُلُّ إِنْسَانٍ بِخَطِيَّتِهِ يُقْتَلُ. | ١٦ 16 |
Fathers are not put to death for sons, and sons are not put to death for fathers—they are each put to death for his own sin.
| «لَا تُعَوِّجْ حُكْمَ ٱلْغَرِيبِ وَٱلْيَتِيمِ، وَلَا تَسْتَرْهِنْ ثَوْبَ ٱلْأَرْمَلَةِ. | ١٧ 17 |
You do not turn aside the judgment of a fatherless sojourner, nor take the garment of a widow in pledge;
| وَٱذْكُرْ أَنَّكَ كُنْتَ عَبْدًا فِي مِصْرَ فَفَدَاكَ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكَ مِنْ هُنَاكَ. لِذَلِكَ أَنَا أُوصِيكَ أَنْ تَعْمَلَ هَذَا ٱلْأَمْرَ. | ١٨ 18 |
and you have remembered that you have been a servant in Egypt, and your God YHWH ransoms you from there; therefore I am commanding you to do this thing.
| «إِذَا حَصَدْتَ حَصِيدَكَ فِي حَقْلِكَ وَنَسِيتَ حُزْمَةً فِي ٱلْحَقْلِ، فَلَا تَرْجِعْ لِتَأْخُذَهَا، لِلْغَرِيبِ وَٱلْيَتِيمِ وَٱلْأَرْمَلَةِ تَكُونُ، لِكَيْ يُبَارِكَكَ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكَ فِي كُلِّ عَمَلِ يَدَيْكَ. | ١٩ 19 |
When you reap your harvest in your field, and have forgotten a sheaf in a field, you do not return to take it; it is for the sojourner, for the fatherless, and for the widow, so that your God YHWH blesses you in all the work of your hands.
| وَإِذَا خَبَطْتَ زَيْتُونَكَ فَلَا تُرَاجِعِ ٱلْأَغْصَانَ وَرَاءَكَ، لِلْغَرِيبِ وَٱلْيَتِيمِ وَٱلْأَرْمَلَةِ يَكُونُ. | ٢٠ 20 |
When you beat your olive, you do not examine the branch behind you; it is for the sojourner, for the fatherless, and for the widow.
| إِذَا قَطَفْتَ كَرْمَكَ فَلَا تُعَلِّلْهُ وَرَاءَكَ. لِلْغَرِيبِ وَٱلْيَتِيمِ وَٱلْأَرْمَلَةِ يَكُونُ. | ٢١ 21 |
When you cut your vineyard, you do not glean behind you; it is for the sojourner, for the fatherless, and for the widow;
| وَٱذْكُرْ أَنَّكَ كُنْتَ عَبْدًا فِي أَرْضِ مِصْرَ. لِذَلِكَ أَنَا أُوصِيكَ أَنْ تَعْمَلَ هَذَا ٱلْأَمْرَ. | ٢٢ 22 |
and you have remembered that you have been a servant in the land of Egypt; therefore I am commanding you to do this thing.”
