لَا تَنْقُلْ أَخْبَاراً كَاذِبَةً، وَلا تَتَعَاوَنْ مَعَ المُنَافِقِ فِي شَهَادَةِ زُورٍ. ١ 1
“You shall not spread a false report. Don’t join your hand with the wicked to be a malicious witness.
لَا تَتْبَعِ الأَغْلَبِيَّةَ لاِرْتِكَابِ الشَّرِّ، وَلا تُحَرِّفْ شَهَادَتَكَ فِي دَعْوَى انْجِرَافاً مَعَ الأَكْثَرِيَّةِ، ٢ 2
“You shall not follow a crowd to do evil. You shall not testify in court to side with a multitude to pervert justice.
وَلا تَتَحَيَّزْ لِلْفَقِيرِ فِي دَعْوَاهُ لِمُجَرَّدِ كَوْنِهِ فَقِيراً فَقَطْ. ٣ 3
You shall not favor a poor man in his cause.
إِذَا صَادَفْتَ ثَوْرَ عَدُوِّكَ أَوْ حِمَارَهُ شَارِداً، فَرُدَّهُ إِلَيْهِ. ٤ 4
“If you meet your enemy’s ox or his donkey going astray, you shall surely bring it back to him again.
وَإذَا عَايَنْتَ حِمَارَ مُبْغِضِكَ وَاقِعاً تَحْتَ حِمْلِهِ، فَلا تَتَجَاوَزْهُ حَتَّى تُسْعِفَ عَدُوَّكَ فِي حَلِّ ثِقْلِ حِمَارِهِ. ٥ 5
If you see the donkey of him who hates you fallen down under his burden, don’t leave him. You shall surely help him with it.
لَا تَتَهَاوَنْ فِي حَقِّ فَقِيرِكَ فِي دَعْوَاهُ لِكَوْنِهِ فَقِيراً. ٦ 6
“You shall not deny justice to your poor people in their lawsuits.
اجْتَنِبْ الاتِّهَامَ الْكَاذِبَ وَلا تَقْتُلِ الْبَرِيءَ وَالصَّالِحَ، لأَنَّنِي لَا أُبْرِىءُ المُذْنِبَ. ٧ 7
“Keep far from a false charge, and don’t kill the innocent and righteous; for I will not justify the wicked.
لَا تَقْبَلْ رِشْوَةً لأَنَّ الرِّشْوَةَ تُعْمِي الْمُبْصِرِينَ وَتُحَرِّفُ أَقْوَالَ الصَّالِحِينَ. ٨ 8
“You shall take no bribe, for a bribe blinds those who have sight and perverts the words of the righteous.
لَا تُضَايِقْ غَرِيباً لأَنَّكُمْ تَعْلَمُونَ مَشَاعِرَ الغَرِيبِ، فَقَدْ كُنْتُمْ غُرَبَاءَ فِي دِيَارِ مِصْرَ. ٩ 9
“You shall not oppress an alien, for you know the heart of an alien, since you were aliens in the land of Egypt.
ازْرَعْ أَرْضَكَ وَاحْصُدْ غَلَّتَهَا سِتَّ سِنِينَ، ١٠ 10
“For six years you shall sow your land, and shall gather in its increase,
ثُمَّ أَرِحْهَا فِي السَّنَةِ السَّابِعَةِ وَاتْرُكْهَا لِيَأْكُلَ مِنْهَا فُقَرَاءُ شَعْبِكَ. وَمَا فَضَلَ عَنْهُمْ تَقْتَاتُهُ وُحُوشُ الْبَرِّيَّةِ. وَهَكَذَا تَفْعَلُ أَيْضاً بِكَرْمِكَ وَزَيْتُونِكَ. ١١ 11
but the seventh year you shall let it rest and lie fallow, that the poor of your people may eat; and what they leave the animal of the field shall eat. In the same way, you shall deal with your vineyard and with your olive grove.
اعْمَلْ سِتَّةَ أَيَّامٍ فَقَطْ، وَفِي الْيَوْمِ السَّابِعِ تَسْتَرِيحُ لِكَيْ يَسْتَرِيحَ أَيْضاً ثَوْرُكَ وَحِمَارُكَ، وَيَنْتَعِشَ ابْنُ أَمَتِكَ وَالغَرِيبُ. ١٢ 12
“Six days you shall do your work, and on the seventh day you shall rest, that your ox and your donkey may have rest, and the son of your servant, and the alien may be refreshed.
أَطِيعُوا كُلَّ مَا أَوْصَيْتُكُمْ بِهِ، وَلا تَذْكُرُوا اسْمَ آلِهَةٍ أُخْرَى، وَلا يَتَلَفَّظْ بِهِ فَمُكَ. ١٣ 13
“Be careful to do all things that I have said to you; and don’t invoke the name of other gods or even let them be heard out of your mouth.
ثَلاثَ مَرَّاتٍ تَحْتَفِلُ لِي فِي السَّنَةِ: ١٤ 14
“You shall observe a feast to me three times a year.
تَحْتَفِلُ بِعِيدِ الْفَطِيرِ فَتَأْكُلُ كَمَا أَمَرْتُكَ فَطِيراً، مُدَّةَ سَبْعَةِ أَيَّامٍ، فِي الْوَقْتِ الْمُعَيَّنِ مِنْ شَهْرِ أَبِيبَ (أَيْ شَهْرِ آذَارَ – مَارِسَ)، لأَنَّهُ فِيهِ خَرَجْتَ مِنْ مِصْرَ. وَلا يَمْثُلُ أَحَدٌ أَمَامِي بِيَدَيْنِ فَارِغَتَيْنِ. ١٥ 15
You shall observe the feast of unleavened bread. Seven days you shall eat unleavened bread, as I commanded you, at the time appointed in the month Abib (for in it you came out of Egypt), and no one shall appear before me empty.
وَتَحْتَفِلُ أَيْضاً بِعِيدِ الْحَصَادِ، حَيْثُ تُقَدِّمُ بَاكُورَةَ غَلّاتِكَ الَّتِي زَرَعْتَهَا فِي الْحَقْلِ، ثُمَّ عِيدِ الْجَمْعِ فِي نِهَايَةِ مَوْسِمِ الْحَصَادِ عِنْدَمَا تَجْمَعُ غَلّاتِكَ مِنَ الْحَقْلِ. ١٦ 16
And the feast of harvest, the first fruits of your labors, which you sow in the field; and the feast of ingathering, at the end of the year, when you gather in your labors out of the field.
ثَلاثَ مَرَّاتٍ يَمْثُلُ جَمِيعُ الرِّجَالِ أَمَامَ السَّيِّدِ الرَّبِّ. ١٧ 17
Three times in the year all your males shall appear before the Lord Yahweh.
لَا تُقَرِّبْ لِي دَمَ ذَبِيحَةٍ مَعَ خُبْزٍ مُخْتَمِرٍ، وَلا يَبِتْ شَحْمُ ذَبَائِحِ عِيدِي إِلَى صَبَاحِ الْغَدِ. ١٨ 18
“You shall not offer the blood of my sacrifice with leavened bread. The fat of my feast shall not remain all night until the morning.
أَحْضِرْ أَجْوَدَ بَاكُورَةِ أَرْضِكَ إِلَى بَيْتِ إِلَهِكَ. وَلا تَطْبُخْ جَدْياً فِي لَبَنِ أُمِّهِ. ١٩ 19
You shall bring the first of the first fruits of your ground into the house of Yahweh your God. “You shall not boil a young goat in its mother’s milk.
هَا أَنَا مُرْسِلٌ مَلاكِي أَمَامَكَ لِيَحْرُسَكَ طَوَالَ الطَّرِيقِ، وَيَقُودَكَ إِلَى الأَرْضِ الَّتِي أَعْدَدْتُهَا لَكَ. ٢٠ 20
“Behold, I send an angel before you, to keep you by the way, and to bring you into the place which I have prepared.
فَأصْغِ إِلَيْهِ وَامْتَثِلْ لَهُ وَلا تَعْصَهُ لأَنَّهُ لَا يَصْفَحُ عَنْ ذُنُوبِكُمْ إِذْ أَنَّ اسْمِي فِيهِ. ٢١ 21
Pay attention to him, and listen to his voice. Don’t provoke him, for he will not pardon your disobedience, for my name is in him.
إِنْ حَرِصْتَ عَلَى الاسْتِمَاعِ إِلَى أَقْوَالِهِ وَفَعَلْتَ كُلَّ مَا قُلْتُهُ، أُعَادِي مَنْ يُعَادِيكَ، وَأُقَاوِمُ مُقَاوِمِيكَ، ٢٢ 22
But if you indeed listen to his voice, and do all that I speak, then I will be an enemy to your enemies, and an adversary to your adversaries.
إِذْ يَسِيرُ مَلاكِي أَمَامَكَ حَتَّى يُدْخِلَكَ بِلادَ الأَمُورِيِّينَ وَالْحِثِّيِّينَ وَالْفَرِزِّيِّينَ وَالْكَنْعَانِيِّينَ وَالْحِوِّيِّينَ وَالْيَبُوسِيِّينَ الَّذِينَ أُبِيدُهُمْ. ٢٣ 23
For my angel shall go before you, and bring you in to the Amorite, the Hittite, the Perizzite, the Canaanite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite; and I will cut them off.
إِيَّاكَ أَنْ تَسْجُدَ لِآلِهَتِهِمْ، وَلا تَعْبُدْهَا، وَلا تَعْمَلْ أَعْمَالَهُمْ، بَلْ تُبِيدُهُمْ وَتُحَطِّمُ أَصْنَامَهُمْ. ٢٤ 24
You shall not bow down to their gods, nor serve them, nor follow their practices, but you shall utterly overthrow them and demolish their pillars.
إِنَّمَا تَعْبُدُونَنِي أَنَا الرَّبَّ إِلَهَكُمْ فَأُبَارِكُ طَعَامَكَ وَشَرَابَكَ وَأُزِيلُ الأَمْرَاضَ مِنْ بَيْنِكُمْ ٢٥ 25
You shall serve Yahweh your God, and he will bless your bread and your water, and I will take sickness away from among you.
فَلا تَكُونُ مُجْهِضَةٌ وَلا عَاقِرٌ فِي أَرْضِكَ. وَأُمَتِّعُكَ بِكَامِلِ عُمْرِكَ. ٢٦ 26
No one will miscarry or be barren in your land. I will fulfill the number of your days.
وَأَجْعَلُ هَيْبَتِي تَتَقَدَّمُكَ، أُزْعِجُ كُلَّ أُمَّةٍ تَقِفُ فِي وَجْهِكَ، وَأَجْعَلُ أَعْدَاءَكَ يُوَلُّونَ الأَدْبَارَ أَمَامَكَ. ٢٧ 27
I will send my terror before you, and will confuse all the people to whom you come, and I will make all your enemies turn their backs to you.
وَأَبْعَثُ الزَّنَابِيرَ أَمَامَكَ، فَتَطْرُدُ الْحِوِّيِّينَ وَالْكَنْعَانِيِّينَ وَالْحِثِّيِّينَ مِنْ قُدَّامِكَ. ٢٨ 28
I will send the hornet before you, which will drive out the Hivite, the Canaanite, and the Hittite, from before you.
إِنَّمَا لَنْ أَطْرُدَهُمْ فِي سَنَةٍ وَاحِدَةٍ لِئَلّا تُقْفِرَ الأَرْضُ فَتَتَكَاثَرَ عَلَيْكَ وُحُوشُ الْبَرِّيَّةِ، ٢٩ 29
I will not drive them out from before you in one year, lest the land become desolate, and the animals of the field multiply against you.
بَلْ أَطْرُدُهُمْ تَدْرِيجِيًّا مِنْ أَمَامِكَ رَيْثَمَا تَنْمُونَ وَتَرِثُونَ الْبِلادَ. ٣٠ 30
Little by little I will drive them out from before you, until you have increased and inherit the land.
وَأَجْعَلُ تُخُومَكَ تَمْتَدُّ مِنَ الْبَحْرِ الأَحْمَرِ إِلَى سَاحِلِ فِلِسْطِينَ، وَمِنَ الْبَرِّيَّةِ حَتَّى نَهْرِ الْفُرَاتِ، وَأُخْضِعُ لَكَ سُكَّانَ الأَرْضِ فَتَطْرُدُهُمْ مِنْ أَمَامِكَ. ٣١ 31
I will set your border from the Red Sea even to the sea of the Philistines, and from the wilderness to the River; for I will deliver the inhabitants of the land into your hand, and you shall drive them out before you.
لَا تَقْطَعْ مَعَهُمْ وَلا مَعْ آلِهَتِهِمْ عَهْداً، ٣٢ 32
You shall make no covenant with them, nor with their gods.
وَلا تُسْكِنْهُمْ فِي أَرْضِكَ لِئَلّا يَجْعَلُوكَ تُخْطِئُ إِلَيَّ، لأَنَّكَ إنْ عَبَدْتَ آلِهَتَهُمْ، يَكُونُ ذَلِكَ لَكَ فَخّاً». ٣٣ 33
They shall not dwell in your land, lest they make you sin against me, for if you serve their gods, it will surely be a snare to you.”
