اَللَّاوِيِّينَ 22

١ 1 وَكَلَّمَ ٱلرَّبُّ مُوسَى قَائِلًا:

And Yahweh spake unto Moses, saying:

٢ 2 «كَلِّمْ هَارُونَ وَبَنِيهِ أَنْ يَتَوَقَّوْا أَقْدَاسَ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ ٱلَّتِي يُقَدِّسُونَهَا لِي وَلَا يُدَنِّسُوا ٱسْمِي ٱلْقُدُّوسَ. أَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ.

Speak unto Aaron, and unto his sons, That they hold sacredly aloof from the holy things of the sons of Israel, so as not to profane my holy name, —in the things which they are hallowing unto me—I, am Yahweh.

٣ 3 قُلْ لَهُمْ: فِي أَجْيَالِكُمْ كُلُّ إِنْسَانٍ مِنْ جَمِيعِ نَسْلِكُمُ ٱقْتَرَبَ إِلَى ٱلْأَقْدَاسِ ٱلَّتِي يُقَدِّسُهَا بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ لِلرَّبِّ، وَنَجَاسَتُهُ عَلَيْهِ، تُقْطَعُ تِلْكَ ٱلنَّفْسُ مِنْ أَمَامِي. أَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ.

Say unto them—Unto your generations, as touching any man who cometh near from among any of your seed, unto the hallowed things which the sons of Israel may hallow unto Yahweh, while his uncleanness is upon him, then shall that person be cut off from before me—I, am Yahweh.

٤ 4 كُلُّ إِنْسَانٍ مِنْ نَسْلِ هَارُونَ وَهُوَ أَبْرَصُ أَوْ ذُو سَيْلٍ، لَا يَأْكُلْ مِنَ ٱلْأَقْدَاسِ حَتَّى يَطْهُرَ. وَمَنْ مَسَّ شَيْئًا نَجِسًا لِمَيْتٍ، أَوْ إِنْسَانٌ حَدَثَ مِنْهُ ٱضْطِجَاعُ زَرْعٍ،

No man soever of the seed of Aaron who is a leper, or hath a flux, shall eat of the holy things, until he be clean, —And as for him who toucheth anything that is unclean by the dead, or a man whose seed goeth from him;

٥ 5 أَوْ إِنْسَانٌ مَسَّ دَبِيبًا يَتَنَجَّسُ بِهِ، أَوْ إِنْسَانًا يَتَنَجَّسُ بِهِ لِنَجَاسَةٍ فِيهِ،

or a man who toucheth any creeping thing, which is unclean to him, —or [toucheth] any human being who hath uncleanness, to the extent of any thing that maketh him unclean,

٦ 6 فَٱلَّذِي يَمَسُّ ذَلِكَ يَكُونُ نَجِسًا إِلَى ٱلْمَسَاءِ، وَلَا يَأْكُلْ مِنَ ٱلْأَقْدَاسِ، بَلْ يَرْحَضُ جَسَدَهُ بِمَاءٍ.

any person who toucheth any such, shall then be unclean until the evening, —and shall not eat of the hallowed things, unless he bathe his flesh in water.

٧ 7 فَمَتَى غَرَبَتِ ٱلشَّمْسُ يَكُونُ طَاهِرًا، ثُمَّ يَأْكُلُ مِنَ ٱلْأَقْدَاسِ لِأَنَّهَا طَعَامُهُ.

When the sun tooth in, then is he clean, —and thereafter, he may eat of the hallowed things, for, his food, it is.

٨ 8 مِيْتَةً أَوْ فَرِيسَةً لَا يَأْكُلْ فَيَتَنَجَّسَ بِهَا. أَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ.

That which dieth of itself or is torn in pieces, shall he not eat to make himself unclean thereby, —I, am Yahweh.

٩ 9 فَيَحْفَظُونَ شَعَائِرِي لِكَيْ لَا يَحْمِلُوا لِأَجْلِهَا خَطِيَّةً يَمُوتُونَ بِهَا لِأَنَّهُمْ يُدَنِّسُونَهَا. أَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ مُقَدِّسُهُمْ.

Therefore shall they keep my charge, and shall not bear, for it, sin, and die therein, when they profane it, —I—Yahweh, am hallowing them.

١٠ 10 «وَكُلُّ أَجْنَبِيٍّ لَا يَأْكُلُ قُدْسًا. نَزِيلُ كَاهِنٍ وَأَجِيرُهُ لَا يَأْكُلُونَ قُدْسًا.

And, no stranger, shall eat what is hallowed, —neither, one who dwelleth with a priest nor a hireling shall eat what is hallowed.

١١ 11 لَكِنْ إِذَا ٱشْتَرَى كَاهِنٌ أَحَدًا شِرَاءَ فِضَّةٍ، فَهُوَ يَأْكُلُ مِنْهُ، وَٱلْمَوْلُودُ فِي بَيْتِهِ. هُمَا يَأْكُلَانِ مِنْ طَعَامِهِ.

But when, a priest, buyeth any person, as the purchase of his silver, he may eat thereof, —and, the children of his household, they, may eat of his food.

١٢ 12 وَإِذَا صَارَتِ ٱبْنَةُ كَاهِنٍ لِرَجُلٍ أَجْنَبِيٍّ لَا تَأْكُلُ مِنْ رَفِيعَةِ ٱلْأَقْدَاسِ.

And, when, a priest’s daughter, belongeth to a husband, who is a stranger, she, of the heave-offering of the hallowed things, may not eat.

١٣ 13 وَأَمَّا ٱبْنَةُ كَاهِنٍ قَدْ صَارَتْ أَرْمَلَةً أَوْ مُطَلَّقَةً، وَلَمْ يَكُنْ لَهَا نَسْلٌ، وَرَجَعَتْ إِلَى بَيْتِ أَبِيهَا كَمَا فِي صِبَاهَا، فَتَأْكُلُ مِنْ طَعَامِ أَبِيهَا. لَكِنَّ كُلَّ أَجْنَبِيٍّ لَا يَأْكُلُ مِنْهُ.

But, when a priest’s daughter, cometh to be a widow or divorced and hath no seed, and so she returneth unto the house of her father, as in her youth, of the food of her father, she may eat, —but no stranger, shall eat thereof.

١٤ 14 وَإِذَا أَكَلَ إِنْسَانٌ قُدْسًا سَهْوًا، يَزِيدُ عَلَيْهِ خُمْسَهُ وَيَدْفَعُ ٱلْقُدْسَ لِلْكَاهِنِ.

And, when, any man, eateth what is hallowed, by mistake, then shall he add the fifth part of it thereunto, and give unto the priest the hallowed thing:

١٥ 15 فَلَا يُدَنِّسُونَ أَقْدَاسَ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ ٱلَّتِي يَرْفَعُونَهَا لِلرَّبِّ،

So shall they not profane the hallowed things of the sons of Israel, —which they heave up unto Yahweh;

١٦ 16 فَيُحَمِّلُونَهُمْ ذَنْبَ إِثْمٍ بِأَكْلِهِمْ أَقْدَاسَهُمْ. لِأَنِّي أَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ مُقَدِّسُهُمْ».

nor cause them to bear guilty iniquity, when they eat their hallowed things, —For, I—Yahweh, am hallowing them.

١٧ 17 وَكَلَّمَ ٱلرَّبُّ مُوسَى قَائِلًا:

And Yahweh spake unto Moses, saying:

١٨ 18 «كَلِّمْ هَارُونَ وَبَنِيهِ وَجَمِيعَ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ وَقُلْ لَهُمْ: كُلُّ إِنْسَانٍ مِنْ بَيْتِ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَمِنَ ٱلْغُرَبَاءِ فِي إِسْرَائِيلَ، قَرَّبَ قُرْبَانَهُ مِنْ جَمِيعِ نُذُورِهِمْ وَجَمِيعِ نَوَافِلِهِمِ ٱلَّتِي يُقَرِّبُونَهَا لِلرَّبِّ مُحْرَقَةً،

Speak unto Aaron, and unto his sons, and unto all the sons of Israel, and thou shalt say unto them—What man, soever, of the house of Israel, or of the sojourners in Israel, may bring near his oblation, as regardeth any of their vows, or any of their freewill offerings which they may bring near unto Yahweh, as an ascending-sacrifice,

١٩ 19 فَلِلرِّضَا عَنْكُمْ يَكُونُ ذَكَرًا صَحِيحًا مِنَ ٱلْبَقَرِ أَوِ ٱلْغَنَمِ أَوِ ٱلْمَعْزِ.

that ye may be accepted, [it must be] a male without defect, of the beeves, or of the sheep, or of the goats:

٢٠ 20 كُلُّ مَا كَانَ فِيهِ عَيْبٌ لَا تُقَرِّبُوهُ لِأَنَّهُ لَا يَكُونُ لِلرِّضَا عَنْكُمْ.

whatsoever hath in it a blemish, shall ye not bring near, —for it shall not be accepted for you.

٢١ 21 وَإِذَا قَرَّبَ إِنْسَانٌ ذَبِيحَةَ سَلَامَةٍ لِلرَّبِّ وَفَاءً لِنَذْرٍ، أَوْ نَافِلَةً مِنَ ٱلْبَقَرِ أَوِ ٱلْأَغْنَامِ، تَكُونُ صَحِيحَةً لِلرِّضَا. كُلُّ عَيْبٍ لَا يَكُونُ فِيهَا.

And, whosoever would bring near a peace-offering unto Yahweh, to consecrate a vow or as a freewill-offering with a bullock or a sheep, without defect, shall it be, to be accepted, no, blemish, shall be therein.

٢٢ 22 ٱلْأَعْمَى وَٱلْمَكْسُورُ وَٱلْمَجْرُوحُ وَٱلْبَثِيرُ وَٱلْأَجْرَبُ وَٱلْأَكْلَفُ، هَذِهِ لَا تُقَرِّبُوهَا لِلرَّبِّ، وَلَا تَجْعَلُوا مِنْهَا وَقُودًا عَلَى ٱلْمَذْبَحِ لِلرَّبِّ.

Blind, or broken, or rent, or having a running sore, or scurvy, or scab, ye shall not bring these near unto Yahweh, —and no, altar-flame, shall ye present therefrom upon the altar, unto Yahweh.

٢٣ 23 وَأَمَّا ٱلثَّوْرُ أَوِ ٱلشَّاةُ ٱلزَّوَائِدِيُّ أَوِ ٱلْقُزُمُ فَنَافِلَةً تَعْمَلُهُ، وَلَكِنْ لِنَذْرٍ لَا يُرْضَى بِهِ.

Whether an ox or a lamb long or short limb, as a free-will offering, thou mayest offer it, but, for a vow, it shall not be accepted.

٢٤ 24 وَمَرْضُوضَ ٱلْخِصْيَةِ وَمَسْحُوقَهَا وَمَقْطُوعَهَا لَا تُقَرِّبُوا لِلرَّبِّ. وَفِي أَرْضِكُمْ لَا تَعْمَلُوهَا.

But that which is bruised in the stones or broken therein, or torn or cut, shall ye neither bring ear unto Yahweh, nor on your own land, shall ye offer.

٢٥ 25 وَمِنْ يَدِ ٱبْنِ ٱلْغَرِيبِ لَا تُقَرِّبُوا خُبْزَ إِلَهِكُمْ مِنْ جَمِيعِ هَذِهِ، لِأَنَّ فِيهَا فَسَادَهَا. فِيهَا عَيْبٌ لَا يُرْضَى بِهَا عَنْكُمْ».

Even at the hand of the son of a stranger, shall ye not bring near the food of your God of any of these, —for, their damage is in them, a blemish, is in them, they shall not be accepted for you.

٢٦ 26 وَكَلَّمَ ٱلرَّبُّ مُوسَى قَائِلًا:

And Yahweh spake unto Moses, saying: —

٢٧ 27 «مَتَى وُلِدَ بَقَرٌ أَوْ غَنَمٌ أَوْ مِعْزًى يَكُونُ سَبْعَةَ أَيَّامٍ تَحْتَ أُمِّهِ، ثُمَّ مِنَ ٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلثَّامِنِ فَصَاعِدًا يُرْضَى بِهِ قُرْبَانَ وَقُودٍ لِلرَّبِّ.

When, a beeve or a sheep or a goat, is brought forth, then shall it be seven days under its dam, —and, from the eighth day and onwards, it shall be accepted as an oblation of an altar-flame unto Yahweh,

٢٨ 28 وَأَمَّا ٱلْبَقَرَةُ أَوِ ٱلشَّاةُ فَلَا تَذْبَحُوهَا وَٱبْنَهَا فِي يَوْمٍ وَاحِدٍ.

Whether cow or ewe—it and its young, shall ye not slaughter on one day.

٢٩ 29 وَمَتَى ذَبَحْتُمْ ذَبِيحَةَ شُكْرٍ لِلرَّبِّ، فَلِلرِّضَا عَنْكُمْ تَذْبَحُونَهَا.

And when ye would offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving unto Yahweh, for your acceptance, shall ye offer it.

٣٠ 30 فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ تُؤْكَلُ. لَا تُبْقُوا مِنْهَا إِلَى ٱلْغَدِ. أَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ.

On the same day, shall it be eaten, ye shall not leave thereof until morning, —I, am Yahweh.

٣١ 31 فَتَحْفَظُونَ وَصَايَايَ وَتَعْمَلُونَهَا. أَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ.

So then ye shall observe my commandments, and do them, —I, am Yahweh.

٣٢ 32 وَلَا تُدَنِّسُونَ ٱسْمِي ٱلْقُدُّوسَ، فَأَتَقَدَّسُ فِي وَسَطِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ. أَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ مُقَدِّسُكُمُ

So shall ye not profane my holy name, So shall I be hallowed in the midst of the sons of Israel, —I, am Yahweh, who am hallowing you;

٣٣ 33 ٱلَّذِي أَخْرَجَكُمْ مِنْ أَرْضِ مِصْرَ لِيَكُونَ لَكُمْ إِلَهًا. أَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ».

Who brought you forth out of the land of Egypt, that I might become your God, —I, am Yahweh.
