تَثنِيَة 17
| لَا تَذْبَحُوا لِلرَّبِّ إِلَهِكُمْ ثَوْراً أَوْ حَمَلاً فِيهِ عَيْبٌ أَوْ شَيْءٌ رَدِيءٌ، لأَنَّ ذَلِكَ رِجْسٌ لَدَى الرَّبِّ. | ١ 1 |
You shall not sacrifice to the LORD your God an ox or a sheep in which is a defect or anything evil; for that is an abomination to the LORD your God.
| إِذَا ارْتَكَبَ بَيْنَكُمْ، رَجُلٌ أَوِ امْرَأَةٌ، مُقِيمٌ فِي إِحْدَى مُدُنِكُمُ الَّتِي يُوَرِّثُكُمْ إِيَّاهَا الرَّبُّ إِلَهُكُمُ، الشَّرَّ فِي عَيْنَيِ الرَّبِّ مُتَعَدِّياً عَهْدَهُ، | ٢ 2 |
If there is found among you, within any of your gates which the LORD your God gives you, a man or woman who does that which is evil in the LORD your God’s sight in transgressing his covenant,
| فَغَوَى وَعَبَدَ آلِهَةً أُخْرَى وَسَجَدَ لَهَا أَوْ لِلشَّمْسِ أَوْ لِلْقَمَرِ أَوْ لأَيٍّ مِنْ كَوَاكِبِ السَّمَاءِ مِمَّا حَظَرْتُهُ عَلَيْكُمْ، | ٣ 3 |
and has gone and served other gods and worshiped them, or the sun, or the moon, or any of the stars of the sky, which I have not commanded,
| وَشَاعَ خَبَرُهُ، فَسَمِعْتُمْ بِهِ، وَتَحَقَّقْتُمْ بَعْدَ فَحْصٍ دَقِيقٍ أَنَّ ذَلِكَ الرِّجْسَ اقْتُرِفَ فِي إِسْرَائِيلَ، | ٤ 4 |
and you are told, and you have heard of it, then you shall inquire diligently. Behold, if it is true, and the thing certain, that such abomination is done in Israel,
| فَأَخْرِجُوا ذَلِكَ الرَّجُلَ أَوْ تِلْكَ الْمَرْأَةَ، الَّذِي ارْتَكَبَ ذَلِكَ الإِثْمَ إِلَى خَارِجِ الْمَدِينَةِ، وَارْجُمُوهُ بِالْحِجَارَةِ حَتَّى يَمُوتَ. | ٥ 5 |
then you shall bring out that man or that woman who has done this evil thing to your gates, even that same man or woman; and you shall stone them to death with stones.
| لَا تَقْتُلْهُ إِلّا بَعْدَ أَنْ تَقُومَ عَلَيْهِ شَهَادَةُ اثْنَيْنِ أَوْ ثَلاثَةٍ وَيُحْظَرُ أَنْ تَقْتُلَ بِمُوْجِبِ شَهَادَةِ وَاحِدٍ فَقَطْ. | ٦ 6 |
At the mouth of two witnesses, or three witnesses, he who is to die shall be put to death. At the mouth of one witness he shall not be put to death.
| وَيَكُونُ الشُّهُودُ هُمْ أَوَّلُ مَنْ يَرْجُمُونَهُ، ثُمَّ يَتَعَاقَبُ عَلَيْهِ الشَّعْبُ. فَتَسْتَأْصِلُونَ عِنْدَئِذٍ الشَّرَّ مِنْ بَيْنِكُمْ. | ٧ 7 |
The hands of the witnesses shall be first on him to put him to death, and afterward the hands of all the people. So you shall remove the evil from among you.
| إِذَا تَعَذَّرَ عَلَيْكُمْ إِصْدَارُ حُكْمٍ فِي قَضِيَّةِ سَفْكِ دَمٍ أَوْ دَعْوَى حَقٍّ أَوِ اعْتِدَاءَ بِالضَّرْبِ، مِمَّا يَجْرِي مِنْ أُمُورِ الْخُصُومَاتِ فِي مُدُنِكُمْ، فَقُومُوا وَامْضُوا إِلَى الْمَكَانِ الَّذِي يَخْتَارُهُ الرَّبُّ إِلَهُكُمْ، | ٨ 8 |
If there arises a matter too hard for you in judgment, between blood and blood, between plea and plea, and between stroke and stroke, being matters of controversy within your gates, then you shall arise, and go up to the place which the LORD your God chooses.
| وَاحْضُرُوا أَمَامَ الْكَهَنَةِ اللّاوِيِّينَ وَالْقَاضِي الْقَائِمِ فِي تِلْكَ الأَيَّامِ، وَاسْأَلُوا، فَيُخْبِرُوكُمْ بِحُكْمِ الْقَضَاءِ. | ٩ 9 |
You shall come to the priests who are Levites and to the judge who shall be in those days. You shall inquire, and they shall give you the verdict.
| فَتُنَفِّذُوا مَا يُصْدِرُونَ مِنْ قَرَارَاتٍ فِي الْمَوْضِعِ الَّذِي يَخْتَارُهُ الرَّبُّ. وَاحْرِصُوا عَلَى الْعَمَلِ بِمُقْتَضَى مَا يُعَلِّمُونَكُمْ | ١٠ 10 |
You shall do according to the decisions of the verdict which they shall give you from that place which the LORD chooses. You shall observe to do according to all that they shall teach you.
| وَاعْمَلُوا بِمُوْجِبِ الشَّرِيعَةِ الَّتِي يُعَلِّمُونَكُمْ إِيَّاهَا، وَالْقَضَاءِ الَّذِي يُصْدِرُونَهُ. وَلا تَحِيدُوا عَمَّا يَنُصُّونَ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ حُكْمٍ لَا يَمِيناً وَلا شِمَالاً. | ١١ 11 |
According to the decisions of the law which they shall teach you, and according to the judgment which they shall tell you, you shall do. You shall not turn away from the sentence which they announce to you, to the right hand, nor to the left.
| وَمَنْ يَرْفُضُ مُتَمَرِّداً تَنْفِيذَ حُكْمِ الْكَاهِنِ الْمَاثِلِ هُنَاكَ لِخِدْمَةِ الرَّبِّ إِلَهِكُمْ، أَوِ الْقَاضِي، فَإِنَّهُ يُقْتَلُ. وَبِذَلِكَ يُسْتَأْصَلُ الشَّرُّ مِنْ إِسْرَائِيلَ. | ١٢ 12 |
The man who does presumptuously in not listening to the priest who stands to minister there before the LORD your God, or to the judge, even that man shall die. You shall put away the evil from Israel.
| فَيَشِيعُ الْخَبَرُ بَيْنَ جَمِيعِ الشَّعْبِ فَيَخَافُونَ وَلا يَتَمَرَّدُونَ بَعْدُ. | ١٣ 13 |
All the people shall hear and fear, and do no more presumptuously.
| وَمَتَى بَلَغْتُمُ الأَرْضَ الَّتِي يُوَرِّثُهَا لَكُمُ الرَّبُّ إِلَهُكُمْ وَامْتَلَكْتُمُوهَا وَاسْتَوْطَنْتُمْ فِيهَا وَقُلْتُمْ: لِنُتَوِّجْ عَلَيْنَا مَلِكاً كَبَقِيَّةِ الأُمَمِ الْمُحِيطَةِ بِنَا | ١٤ 14 |
When you have come to the land which the LORD your God gives you, and possess it and dwell in it, and say, “I will set a king over me, like all the nations that are around me,”
| فَإِنَّكُمْ تُقِيمُونَ عَلَيْكُمْ مَلِكاً يَخْتَارُهُ الرَّبُّ إِلَهُكُمْ، شَرِيطَةَ أَنْ يَكُونَ وَاحِداً مِنْ أَسْبَاطِكُمْ. يُحَظَرُ عَلَيْكُمْ أَنْ تُقِيمُوا مَلِكاً أَجْنَبِيًّا لَا يَنْتَمِي إِلَى أَحَدِ أَسْبَاطِكُمْ. | ١٥ 15 |
you shall surely set him whom the LORD your God chooses as king over yourselves. You shall set as king over you one from among your brothers. You may not put a foreigner over you, who is not your brother.
| وَلَكِنْ إِيَّاهُ أَنْ يُكَثِّرَ مِنْ عَدَدِ خُيُولِهِ، أَوْ يُعِيدَ الشَّعْبَ إِلَى مِصْرَ لِيَحْصُلَ عَلَى مَزِيدٍ مِنَ الْخَيْلِ لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ قَالَ لَكُمْ: لَا تَرْتَدُّوا لِلرُّجُوعِ فِي هَذِهِ الطَّرِيقِ أَيْضاً. | ١٦ 16 |
Only he shall not multiply horses to himself, nor cause the people to return to Egypt, to the end that he may multiply horses; because the LORD has said to you, “You shall not go back that way again.”
| وَلْيَحْذَرْ مِنْ أَنْ يَكُونَ مِزْوَاجاً لِئَلّا يَزِيغَ قَلْبُهُ، وَلا يُكَثِّرُ لِنَفْسِهِ مِنَ الذَّهَبِ وَالْفِضَّةِ. | ١٧ 17 |
He shall not multiply wives to himself, that his heart not turn away. He shall not greatly multiply to himself silver and gold.
| وَحِينَ يَتَبَوَّأُ عَرْشَ مَمْلَكَتِهِ فَلْيَنْسُخْ لِنَفْسِهِ هَذِهِ الشَّرِيعَةَ فِي كِتَابٍ وَيَنْقُلْهَا عَنِ الْكَهَنَةِ وَاللّاوِيِّينَ، | ١٨ 18 |
It shall be, when he sits on the throne of his kingdom, that he shall write himself a copy of this law in a book, out of that which is before the Levitical priests.
| فَتَكُونَ مَعَهُ لِيُطَالِعَهَا كُلَّ أَيَّامِ حَيَاتِهِ لِيَتَعَلَّمَ أَنْ يَتَّقِيَ الرَّبَّ إِلَهَهُ وَيُطِيعَ جَمِيعَ كَلِمَاتِ هَذِهِ الشَّرِيعَةِ وَهَذِهِ الْفَرَائِضِ لِيَعْمَلَ بِها، | ١٩ 19 |
It shall be with him, and he shall read from it all the days of his life, that he may learn to fear the LORD his God, to keep all the words of this law and these statutes, to do them;
| لِئَلّا يَتَكَبَّرَ عَلَى إِخْوَتِهِ وَيَحِيدَ عَنِ الْوَصِيَّةِ يَمِيناً أَوْ شِمَالاً. فَإِنْ فَعَلَ ذَلِكَ فَإِنَّهُ وَذُرِّيَّتَهُ يَمْلِكُونَ طَوِيلاً فِي وَسَطِ إِسْرَائِيلَ. | ٢٠ 20 |
that his heart not be lifted up above his brothers, and that he not turn away from the commandment to the right hand, or to the left, to the end that he may prolong his days in his kingdom, he and his children, in the middle of Israel.
