< اَلتَّثْنِيَة 25 >

«إِذَا كَانَتْ خُصُومَةٌ بَيْنَ أُنَاسٍ وَتَقَدَّمُوا إِلَى ٱلْقَضَاءِ لِيَقْضِيَ ٱلْقُضَاةُ بَيْنَهُمْ، فَلْيُبَرِّرُوا ٱلْبَارَّ وَيَحْكُمُوا عَلَى ٱلْمُذْنِبِ. ١ 1
If there be a controversy between men, and they come unto judgment, and [the judges] judge them; then they shall justify the righteous, and condemn the wicked;
فَإِنْ كَانَ ٱلْمُذْنِبُ مُسْتَوْجِبَ ٱلضَّرْبِ، يَطْرَحُهُ ٱلْقَاضِي وَيَجْلِدُونَهُ أَمَامَهُ عَلَى قَدَرِ ذَنْبِهِ بِٱلْعَدَدِ. ٢ 2
and it shall be, if the wicked man be worthy to be beaten, that the judge shall cause him to lie down, and to be beaten before his face, according to his wickedness, by number.
أَرْبَعِينَ يَجْلِدُهُ. لَا يَزِدْ، لِئَلَّا إِذَا زَادَ فِي جَلْدِهِ عَلَى هَذِهِ ضَرَبَاتٍ كَثِيرَةً، يُحْتَقَرَ أَخُوكَ فِي عَيْنَيْكَ. ٣ 3
Forty stripes he may give him, he shall not exceed: lest, if he should exceed, and beat him above these with many stripes, then thy brother should seem vile unto thee.
لَا تَكُمَّ ٱلثَّوْرَ فِي دِرَاسِهِ. ٤ 4
Thou shalt not muzzle the ox when he treadeth out [the corn].
«إِذَا سَكَنَ إِخْوَةٌ مَعًا وَمَاتَ وَاحِدٌ مِنْهُمْ وَلَيْسَ لَهُ ٱبْنٌ، فَلَا تَصِرِ ٱمْرَأَةُ ٱلْمَيْتِ إِلَى خَارِجٍ لِرَجُلٍ أَجْنَبِيٍّ. أَخُو زَوْجِهَا يَدْخُلُ عَلَيْهَا وَيَتَّخِذُهَا لِنَفْسِهِ زَوْجَةً، وَيَقُومُ لَهَا بِوَاجِبِ أَخِي ٱلزَّوْجِ. ٥ 5
If brethren dwell together, and one of them die, and have no son, the wife of the dead shall not marry without unto a stranger: her husband’s brother shall go in unto her, and take her to him to wife, and perform the duty of an husband’s brother unto her.
وَٱلْبِكْرُ ٱلَّذِي تَلِدُهُ يَقُومُ بِٱسْمِ أَخِيهِ ٱلْمَيْتِ، لِئَلَّا يُمْحَى ٱسْمُهُ مِنْ إِسْرَائِيلَ. ٦ 6
And it shall be, that the firstborn which she beareth shall succeed in the name of his brother which is dead, that his name be not blotted out of Israel.
«وَإِنْ لَمْ يَرْضَ ٱلرَّجُلُ أَنْ يَأْخُذَ ٱمْرَأَةَ أَخِيهِ، تَصْعَدُ ٱمْرَأَةُ أَخِيهِ إِلَى ٱلْبَابِ إِلَى ٱلشُّيُوخِ وَتَقُولُ: قَدْ أَبَى أَخُو زَوْجِي أَنْ يُقِيمَ لِأَخِيهِ ٱسْمًا فِي إِسْرَائِيلَ. لَمْ يَشَأْ أَنْ يَقُومَ لِي بِوَاجِبِ أَخِي ٱلزَّوْجِ. ٧ 7
And if the man like not to take his brother’s wife, then his brother’s wife shall go up to the gate unto the elders, and say, My husband’s brother refuseth to raise up unto his brother a name in Israel, he will not perform the duty of an husband’s brother unto me.
فَيَدْعُوهُ شُيُوخُ مَدِينَتِهِ وَيَتَكَلَّمُونَ مَعَهُ. فَإِنْ أَصَرَّ وَقَالَ: لَا أَرْضَى أَنْ أَتَّخِذَهَا. ٨ 8
Then the elders of his city shall call him, and speak unto him: and if he stand, and say, I like not to take her;
تَتَقَدَّمُ ٱمْرَأَةُ أَخِيهِ إِلَيْهِ أَمَامَ أَعْيُنِ ٱلشُّيُوخِ، وَتَخْلَعُ نَعْلَهُ مِنْ رِجْلِهِ، وَتَبْصُقُ فِي وَجْهِهِ، وَتُصَرِّحُ وَتَقُولُ: هَكَذَا يُفْعَلُ بِٱلرَّجُلِ ٱلَّذِي لَا يَبْنِي بَيْتَ أَخِيهِ. ٩ 9
then shall his brother’s wife come unto him in the presence of the elders, and loose his shoe from off his foot, and spit in his face; and she shall answer and say, So shall it be done unto the man that doth not build up his brother’s house.
فَيُدْعَى ٱسْمُهُ فِي إِسْرَائِيلَ «بَيْتَ مَخْلُوعِ ٱلنَّعْلِ». ١٠ 10
And his name shall be called in Israel, The house of him that hath his shoe loosed.
«إِذَا تَخَاصَمَ رَجُلَانِ بَعْضُهُمَا بَعْضًا، رَجُلٌ وَأَخُوهُ، وَتَقَدَّمَتِ ٱمْرَأَةُ أَحَدِهِمَا لِكَيْ تُخَلِّصَ رَجُلَهَا مِنْ يَدِ ضَارِبِهِ، وَمَدَّتْ يَدَهَا وَأَمْسَكَتْ بِعَوْرَتِهِ، ١١ 11
When men strive together one with another, and the wife of the one draweth near for to deliver her husband out of the hand of him that smiteth him, and putteth forth her hand, and taketh him by the secrets:
فَٱقْطَعْ يَدَهَا، وَلَا تُشْفِقْ عَيْنُكَ. ١٢ 12
then thou shalt cut off her hand, thine eye shall have no pity.
«لَا يَكُنْ لَكَ فِي كِيسِكَ أَوْزَانٌ مُخْتَلِفَةٌ كَبِيرَةٌ وَصَغِيرَةٌ. ١٣ 13
Thou shalt not have in thy bag divers weights, a great and a small.
لَا يَكُنْ لَكَ فِي بَيْتِكَ مَكَايِيلُ مُخْتَلِفَةٌ كَبِيرَةٌ وَصَغِيرَةٌ. ١٤ 14
Thou shalt not have in thine house divers measures, a great and a small.
وَزْنٌ صَحِيحٌ وَحَقٌّ يَكُونُ لَكَ، وَمِكْيَالٌ صَحِيحٌ وَحَقٌّ يَكُونُ لَكَ، لِكَيْ تَطُولَ أَيَّامُكَ عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ ٱلَّتِي يُعْطِيكَ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكَ. ١٥ 15
A perfect and just weight shalt thou have; a perfect and just measure shalt thou have: that thy days may be long upon the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee.
لِأَنَّ كُلَّ مَنْ عَمِلَ ذَلِكَ، كُلَّ مَنْ عَمِلَ غِشًّا، مَكْرُوهٌ لَدَى ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِكَ. ١٦ 16
For all that do such things; [even] all that do unrighteously, are an abomination unto the LORD thy God.
«اُذْكُرْ مَا فَعَلَهُ بِكَ عَمَالِيقُ فِي ٱلطَّرِيقِ عِنْدَ خُرُوجِكَ مِنْ مِصْرَ. ١٧ 17
Remember what Amalek did unto thee by the way as ye came forth out of Egypt;
كَيْفَ لَاقَاكَ فِي ٱلطَّرِيقِ وَقَطَعَ مِنْ مُؤَخَّرِكَ كُلَّ ٱلْمُسْتَضْعِفِينَ وَرَاءَكَ، وَأَنْتَ كَلِيلٌ وَمُتْعَبٌ، وَلَمْ يَخَفِ ٱللهَ. ١٨ 18
how he met thee by the way, and smote the hindmost of thee, all that were feeble behind thee, when thou wast faint and weary; and he feared not God.
فَمَتَى أَرَاحَكَ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكَ مِنْ جَمِيعِ أَعْدَائِكَ حَوْلَكَ فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ ٱلَّتِي يُعْطِيكَ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكَ نَصِيبًا لِكَيْ تَمْتَلِكَهَا، تَمْحُو ذِكْرَ عَمَالِيقَ مِنْ تَحْتِ ٱلسَّمَاءِ. لَا تَنْسَ. ١٩ 19
Therefore it shall be, when the LORD thy God hath given thee rest from all thine enemies round about, in the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee for an inheritance to possess it, that thou shalt blot out the remembrance of Amalek from under heaven; thou shalt not forget.
