< خرُوج 20 >
| ثُمَّ نَطَقَ اللهُ بِجَمِيعِ هَذِهِ الأَقْوَالِ: | ١ 1 |
Then God said this [to the Israeli people: ]
| «أَنَا هُوَ الرَّبُّ إِلَهُكَ الَّذِي أَخْرَجَكَ مِنْ أَرْضِ مِصْرَ دِيَارِ عُبُودِيَّتِكَ. | ٢ 2 |
“I am Yahweh God, the one you [worship]. I am the one who brought you out of Egypt. I am the one who freed you from being slaves [there].
| لَا يَكُنْ لَكَ آلِهَةٌ أُخْرَى سِوَايَ. | ٣ 3 |
[So] you must worship [only] me; you must not worship any other god.
| لَا تَنْحَتْ لَكَ تِمْثَالاً، وَلا تَصْنَعْ صُورَةً مَّا مِمَّا فِي السَّمَاءِ مِنْ فَوْقُ، وَمَا فِي الأَرْضِ مِنْ تَحْتُ، وَمَا فِي الْمَاءِ مِنْ أَسْفَلِ الأَرْضِ. | ٤ 4 |
You must not carve/make for yourselves any idol that represents anything in the sky or that is on the ground or that is in the water under the ground/earth.
| لَا تَسْجُدْ لَهُنَّ وَلا تَعْبُدْهُنَّ، لأَنِّي أَنَا الرَّبَّ إِلَهَكَ، إِلَهٌ غَيُورٌ، أَفْتَقِدُ آثَامَ الآبَاءِ فِي البَنِينَ حَتَّى الْجِيلِ الثَّالِثِ وَالرَّابِعِ مِنْ مُبْغِضِيَّ، | ٥ 5 |
You must not bow down to any idol and worship it, because I am Yahweh God, and I (am very jealous/want you to worship me only). I will punish those who sin and hate me. I will punish not only them, but I will punish (their descendants, down to the third and fourth generation/their children and grandchildren and great-grandchildren).
| وَأَبْدِي إحْسَاناً نَحْوَ أُلُوفٍ مِنْ مُحِبِّيَّ الَّذِينَ يُطِيعُونَ وَصَايَايَ. | ٦ 6 |
But I will steadfastly love thousands of generations of those who love me and obey my commandments (OR, I will love for thousands of generations.)
| لَا تَنْطِقْ بِاسْمِ الرَّبِّ إِلَهِكَ بَاطِلاً، لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ يُعَاقِبُ مَنْ نَطَقَ بِاسْمِهِ بَاطِلاً. | ٧ 7 |
Do not use my name carelessly (OR, for wrong/evil purposes), because I am Yahweh God, the one whom you [should worship], and I will certainly punish those who use my name for wrong/evil purposes [LIT].
| اذْكُرْ يَوْمَ السَّبْتِ لِتُقَدِّسَهُ، | ٨ 8 |
Do not forget that the seventh day [of every week] is mine, so dedicate those days to me.
| سِتَّةَ أَيَّامٍ تَعْمَلُ وَتَقُومُ بِجَمِيعِ مَشَاغِلِكَ، | ٩ 9 |
There are six days each week for you to do all your work,
| أَمَّا الْيَوْمُ السَّابِعُ فَتَجْعَلُهُ سَبْتاً لِلرَّبِّ إِلَهِكَ، فَلا تَقُمْ فِيهِ بِأَيِّ عَمَلٍ أَنْتَ أَوِ ابْنُكَ أَوْ ابْنَتُكَ أَوِ عَبْدُكَ أَوْ أَمَتُكَ أَوْ بَهِيمَتُكَ أَوِ النَّزِيلُ الْمُقِيمُ دَاخِلَ أَبْوَابِكَ. | ١٠ 10 |
but the seventh day is a day of rest, a day dedicated to me, Yahweh God, the one whom you [should worship]. On that day you must not do any work. You and your sons and daughters and your male and female slaves must not work. You must not even force your livestock to work, and you must not allow foreigners to work, those who are living in your country.
| لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ قَدْ صَنَعَ السَّمَاءَ وَالأَرْضَ وَالْبَحْرَ وَكُلَّ مَا فِيهَا فِي سِتَّةِ أَيَّامٍ، ثُمَّ اسْتَراحَ فِي الْيَوْمِ الْسَّابِعِ. لِهَذَا بَارَكَ الرَّبُّ يَوْمَ السَّبْتِ وَجَعَلَهُ مُقَدَّساً. | ١١ 11 |
I, Yahweh, created the sky, the earth, the ocean, and everything that is in them, in six days. Then I stopped my work of creating everything, and rested on the seventh day. That is the reason that I, Yahweh, have blessed the rest day and set it apart [to be a sacred/special day].
| أَكْرِمْ أَبَاكَ وَأُمَّكَ لِكَيْ يَطُولَ عُمْرُكَ فِي الأَرْضِ الَّتِي يَهَبُكَ إِيَّاهَا الرَّبُّ إِلَهُكَ. | ١٢ 12 |
Honor/Respect your fathers and your mothers, in order that you may live a long time in the land that I, Yahweh God, will give you.
Do not (commit adultery/have sex with anyone other than your spouse).
| لَا تَشْهَدْ زُوراً عَلَى جَارِكَ. | ١٦ 16 |
Do not falsely accuse anyone [of committing a crime].
| لَا تَشْتَهِ بَيْتَ جَارِكَ، وَلا زَوْجَتَهُ، وَلا عَبْدَهُ، وَلا أَمَتَهُ، وَلا ثَوْرَهُ، وَلا حِمَارَهُ، وَلا شَيْئاً مِمَّا لَهُ». | ١٧ 17 |
Do not (covet/desire to have) someone else’s house, someone else’s wife, someone else’s male or female slave, someone else’s livestock, someone else’s donkeys, or anything else that some other person owns.”
| وَعِنْدَمَا عَايَنَ الشَّعْبُ كُلُّهُ الرُّعُودَ وَالْبُرُوقَ، وَسَمِعُوا دَوِيَّ صَوْتِ الْبُوقِ، وَرَأَوْا الجَبَلَ يُدَخِّنُ ارْتَجَفُوا خَوْفاً وَوَقَفُوا مِنْ بَعِيدٍ، | ١٨ 18 |
When the people heard the thunder and saw the lightning, and when they heard the sound of the trumpet and saw the smoke on the mountain, they were afraid and trembled. They stood at a distance,
| وَقَالُوا لِمُوسَى: «كَلِّمْنَا أَنْتَ بِنَفْسِكَ فَنَسْمَعَ، لِئَلّا نَمُوتَ إذَا ظَلَّ اللهُ يُخَاطِبُنَا». | ١٩ 19 |
and said to Moses/me, “If you speak to us, we will listen. But do not let God speak any more to us. [We are afraid that] if he speaks [any more] to us, we will die.”
| فَأَجَابَ مُوسَى: «لا تَخَافُوا. إِنَّمَا الرَّبُّ قَدْ جَاءَ لِيَمْتَحِنَكُمْ حَتَّى تَظَلَّ مَخَافَةُ الرَّبِّ تُلازِمُكُمْ فَلا تُخْطِئُوا». | ٢٠ 20 |
Moses/I replied, “Do not be afraid! God has come to determine/test [how you will behave]. He wants you to revere him, and to not sin.”
| وَبَيْنَمَا كَانَ الشَّعْبُ وَاقِفاً مِنْ بَعِيدٍ، اقْتَرَبَ مُوسَى مِنَ الظَّلامِ المُتَكَاثِفِ حَيْثُ كَانَ اللهُ. | ٢١ 21 |
Then, as the people [watched from] a distance, Moses/I went close to the black cloud where God was.
| فَقَالَ الرَّبُّ لِمُوسَى: «تَقُولُ لِبَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ: أَنْتُمْ رَأَيْتُمْ بِأَنْفُسِكُمْ كَيْفَ كَلَّمْتُكُمْ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ. | ٢٢ 22 |
Yahweh said to Moses/me, “Say this to the Israeli people: ‘You have heard how I, Yahweh, have spoken to you from heaven. I told you that you must not make any idols of silver or gold [that you will worship instead] of me.
| فَامْتَنِعُوا عَنْ صُنْعِ آلِهَةِ فِضَّةٍ أَوْ آلِهَةِ ذَهَبٍ لَكُمْ لِتُشْرِكُوهَا مَعِي. | ٢٣ 23 |
| أَقِمْ لِي مَذْبَحاً مِنْ تُرَابٍ تُقَدِّمُ عَلَيْهِ مُحْرَقَاتِكَ وَقَرَابِينَ سَلامَتِكَ مِنْ غَنَمِكَ وَبَقَرِكَ. وَآتِي إِلَيْكَ وَأُبَارِكُكَ فِي جَمِيعِ الأَمَاكِنِ الَّتِي أُقِيمُ فِيهَا لاِسْمِي ذِكْراً. | ٢٤ 24 |
Make for me an altar from dirt. Sacrifice on it the animals that you will burn completely. Also sacrifice on it the animals that you will not burn completely, to maintain fellowship with me. Worship me [MTY] in any place that I choose for you to honor/worship me; and if you do that, I will come to you and bless you.
| وَإِنْ بَنَيْتَ لِي مَذْبَحاً مِنْ حِجَارَةٍ، فَلا تَبْنِهِ مِنْ حِجَارَةٍ مَنْحُوتَةٍ، لأَنَّ اسْتِعْمَالَكَ لِلإِزْمِيلِ يُدَنِّسُهَا | ٢٥ 25 |
If you make for me an altar from stones, do not make it from stones that you have cut [to make them look nice], because you will make the altar unsuitable for [worshiping] me if you use tools to cut the stones.
| وَلا تَرْتَقِ إِلَى مَذْبَحِي بِدَرَجٍ لِئَلّا تَنْكَشِفَ عَوْرَتُكَ عَلَيْهِ». | ٢٦ 26 |
Do not make an altar that has steps in front of it, because if you do that, [people] could see your naked [buttocks] as you go up the steps.’”
