لاويّين 20

١ 1 وَكَلَّمَ الرَّبُّ مُوسَى قَائِلاً:

And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,

٢ 2 «قُلْ لِبَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ: أَيُّ إِنْسَانٍ مِنْهُمْ أَوْ مِنَ الْغُرَبَاءِ الْمُقِيمِينَ بَيْنَهُمْ قَرَّبَ لِلصَّنَمِ مُولَكَ أَحَدَ أَبْنَائِهِ، فَإِنَّهُ يُقْتَلُ إِذْ يَرْجُمُهُ شَعْبُ الأَرْضِ بِالْحِجَارَةِ.

You shall also say to the children of Israel, If [there shall be] any of the children of Israel, or of those who have become proselytes in Israel, who shall give of his seed to Moloch, let him be surely put to death; the nation upon the land shall stone him with stones.

٣ 3 وَأَنَا أَنْقَلِبُ عَلَى ذَلِكَ الإِنْسَانِ وَأَسْتَأْصِلُهُ مِنْ بَيْنِ شَعْبِهِ، لأَنَّهُ قَرَّبَ أَحَدَ أَبْنَائِهِ لِلْوَثَنِ مُولَكَ لِيُنَجِّسَ قُدْسِي وَيُدَنِّسَ اسْمِي الْمُقَدَّسَ.

And I will set my face against that man, and will cut him off from his people, because he has given of his seed to Moloch, to defile my sanctuary, and profane the name of them that are consecrated to me.

٤ 4 وَإِنْ تَغَاضَى شَعْبُ الأَرْضِ عَنْ ذَلِكَ الإِنْسَانِ، عِنْدَمَا قَرَّبَ لِمُولَكَ أَحَدَ أَبْنَائِهِ، فَلَمْ يَقْتُلُوهُ،

And if the natives of the land should in anyway overlook that man in giving of his seed to Moloch, so as not to put him to death;

٥ 5 فَإِنِّي أَنْقَلِبُ عَلَى ذَلِكَ الإِنْسَانِ وَعَلَى عَشِيرَتِهِ، وَأَسْتَأْصِلُهُ مَعَ جَمِيعِ الضَّالِّينَ وَرَاءَهُ، الزَّانِينَ مَعَ الصَّنَمِ مُولَكَ مِنْ بَيْنِ شَعْبِهِمْ.

then will I set my face against that man and his family, and I will destroy him, and all who have been of one mind with him, so that he should go a whoring to the princes, from their people.

٦ 6 وَكُلُّ نَفْسٍ غَوَتْ وَرَاءَ أَصْحَابِ الْجَانِّ وَتَعَلَّقَتْ بِالتَّوَابِعِ خِيَانَةً لِي، أَنْقَلِبُ عَلَى تِلْكَ النَّفْسِ وَأَسْتَأْصِلُهَا مِنْ بَيْنِ شَعْبِهَا.

And the soul that shall follow those who have in them divining spirits, or enchanters, so as to go a whoring after them; I will set my face against that soul, and will destroy it from among its people.

٧ 7 فَتَقَدَّسُوا وَكُونُوا قِدِّيسِينَ، لأَنِّي أَنَا الرَّبُّ إِلَهُكُمْ.

And you shall be holy, for I the Lord your God [am] holy.

٨ 8 أَطِيعُوا فَرَائِضِي وَاعْمَلُوا بِها، فَأَنَا الرَّبُّ الَّذِي يُقَدِّسُكُمْ.

And you shall observe my ordinances, and do them: I [am] the Lord that sanctifies you.

٩ 9 كُلُّ مَنْ شَتَمَ أَبَاهُ أَوْ أُمَّهُ يُقْتَلُ لأَنَّهُ شَتَمَ أَبَاهُ أَوْ أُمَّهُ، لِذَلِكَ دَمُهُ عَلَيْهِ.

Every man who shall speak evil of his father or of his mother, let him die the death; has he spoken evil of his father or his mother? he shall be guilty.

١٠ 10 إِذَا زَنَى رَجُلٌ مَعَ امْرَأَةِ قَرِيبِهِ، فَالزَّانِي وَالزَّانِيَةُ يُقْتَلانِ.

Whatever man shall commit adultery with the wife of a man, or whoever shall commit adultery with the wife of his neighbor, let them die the death, the adulterer and the adulteress.

١١ 11 وَإذَا عَاشَرَ رَجُلٌ زَوْجَةَ أَبِيهِ، فَكِلاهُمَا يُقْتَلانِ لأَنَّهُ كَشَفَ عَوْرَةَ أَبِيهِ، وَيَكُونُ دَمُهُمَا عَلَى رَأْسَيْهِمَا.

And if any one should lie with his father's wife, he has uncovered his father's nakedness: let them both die the death, they are guilty.

١٢ 12 وَإذَا عَاشَرَ رَجُلٌ كَنَّتَهُ فَكِلاهُمَا يُقْتَلانِ، لأَنَّهُمَا قَدِ اقْتَرَفَا فَاحِشَةً، وَيَكُونُ دَمُهُمَا عَلَى رَأْسَيْهِمَا.

And if any one should lie with his daughter-in-law, let them both be put to death; for they have wrought impiety, they are guilty.

١٣ 13 وَإذَا ضَاجَعَ رَجُلٌ ذَكَراً مُضَاجَعَةَ امْرَأَةٍ، فَكِلاهُمَا يُقْتَلانِ لأَنَّهُمَا ارْتَكَبَا رِجْساً. وَيَكُونُ دَمُهُمَا عَلَى رَأْسَيْهِمَا.

And whoever shall lie with a male as with a woman, they have both wrought abomination; let them die the death, they are guilty.

١٤ 14 وَإذَا تَزَوَّجَ رَجُلٌ مِنِ امْرَأَةٍ وَأُمِّهَا، فَتِلْكَ رَذِيلَةٌ. لِيُحْرَقُوا بِالنَّارِ لِئَلّا تَفْشُوَ رَذِيلَةٌ بَيْنَكُمْ.

Whosoever shall take a woman and her mother, it is iniquity: they shall burn him and them with fire; so there shall not be iniquity among you.

١٥ 15 وَإذَا عَاشَرَ رَجُلٌ بَهِيمَةً فَإِنَّهُ يُقْتَلُ، وَكَذَلِكَ الْبَهِيمَةُ تُمِيتُونَهَا أَيْضاً

And whoever shall lie with a beast, let him die the death; and you shall kill the beast.

١٦ 16 وَإذَا قَارَبَتِ امْرَأَةٌ بَهِيمَةً ذَكَراً لِتَنْزُوَهَا فَأَمِتْهُمَا. كِلاهُمَا يُقْتَلانِ، وَيَكُونُ دَمُهُمَا عَلَى رَأْسَيْهِمَا.

And whatever woman shall approach any beast, so as to have connexion with it, you shall kill the woman and the beast: let them die the death, they are guilty.

١٧ 17 إِذَا تَزَوَّجَ رَجُلٌ أُخْتَهُ، ابْنَةَ أَبِيهِ أَوِ ابْنَةَ أُمِّهِ، فَذَلِكَ عَارٌ، وَيَجِبُ أَنْ يُسْتَأْصَلا عَلَى مَشْهَدٍ مِنْ أَبْنَاءِ شَعْبِهِ، لأَنَّهُ قَدْ كَشَفَ عَوْرَةَ أُخْتِهِ، وَيُعَاقَبُ بِذَنْبِهِ.

Whosoever shall take his sister by his father or by his mother, and shall see her nakedness, and she see his nakedness, it is a reproach: they shall be destroyed before the children of their family; he has uncovered his sister's nakedness, they shall bear their sin.

١٨ 18 إِذَا عَاشَرَ رَجُلٌ امْرَأَةً حَائِضاً وَكَشَفَ عَوْرَتَهَا فَقَدْ عَرَّى يَنْبُوعَهَا، وَهِيَ أَيْضاً كَشَفَتْ عَنْهُ. فَيَجِبُ أَنْ يُسْتَأْصَلا كِلاهُمَا مِنْ بَيْنِ شَعْبِهِمَا.

And whatever man shall lie with a woman that is set apart [for a flux], and shall uncover her nakedness, he has uncovered her fountain, and she has uncovered the flux of her blood: they shall both be destroyed from among their generation.

١٩ 19 إِذَا عَاشَرَ رَجُلٌ عَمَّتَهُ أَوْ خَالَتَهُ، يُعَاقَبُ كِلاهُمَا بِذَنْبِهِمَا.

And you shall not uncover the nakedness of your father's sister, or of the sister of your mother; for that man has uncovered the nakedness of one near akin: they shall bear their iniquity.

٢٠ 20 وَإذَا عَاشَرَ رَجُلٌ زَوْجَةَ عَمِّهِ فَقَدْ كَشَفَ عَوْرَتَهَا، وَيُعَاقَبُ كِلاهُمَا بِذَنْبِهِمَا، وَيَمُوتَانِ مِنْ غَيْرِ أَنْ يُعْقِبَا نَسْلاً.

Whosoever shall lie with his near kinswoman, has uncovered the nakedness of one near akin to him: they shall die childless.

٢١ 21 وَإذَا تَزَوَّجَ رَجُلٌ امْرَأَةَ أَخِيهِ فَذَلِكَ نَجَاسَةٌ لأَنَّهُ كَشَفَ عَوْرَةَ أَخِيهِ. كِلاهُمَا يَمُوتَانِ مِنْ غَيْرِ أَنْ يُعْقِبَا نَسْلاً.

Whoever shall take his brother's wife, it is uncleanness; he has uncovered his brother's nakedness; they shall die childless.

٢٢ 22 أَطِيعُوا جَمِيعَ فَرَائِضِي وَأَحْكَامِي وَاعْمَلُوا بِها فَلا تَنْبِذَكُمُ الأَرْضُ الَّتِي أَنَا ذَاهِبٌ بِكُمْ إِلَيْهَا لِتُقِيمُوا فِيهَا.

And keep you all my ordinances, and my judgments; and you shall do them, and the land shall not be aggrieved with you, into which I bring you to dwell upon it.

٢٣ 23 لَا تُمَارِسُوا عَادَاتِ الأُمَمِ الَّتِي سَأَطْرُدُهَا مِنْ أَمَامِكُمْ، لأَنَّهَا ارْتَكَبَتْ كُلَّ هَذِهِ الْقَبَائِحِ، فَكَرِهْتُهَا،

And walk you not in the customs of the nations which I drive out from before you; for they have done all these things, and I have abhorred them:

٢٤ 24 وَوَعَدْتُكُمْ أَنْ تَرِثُوا دِيَارَهَا. وَأَنَا أَهَبُكُمْ إِيَّاهَا لِتَمْتَلِكُوهَا، أَرْضاً تَفِيضُ لَبَناً وَعَسَلاً. فَأَنَا الرَّبُّ إِلَهُكُمْ، مَيَّزْتُكُمْ عَنْ بَقِيَّةِ الشُّعُوبِ.

and I said to you, You shall inherit their land, and I will give it to you for a possession, [even] a land flowing with milk and honey: I [am] the Lord your God, who have separated you from all people.

٢٥ 25 مَيِّزُوا الْبَهَائِمَ الطَّاهِرَةَ مِنَ النَّجِسَةِ، وَالطُّيُورَ النَّجِسَةَ مِنَ الطَّاهِرَةِ، فَلا تُدَنِّسُوا أَنْفُسَكُمْ بِالْبَهَائِمِ وَالطُّيُورِ وَالزَّوَاحِفِ الَّتِي حَظَرْتُهَا عَلَيْكُمْ.

And you shall make a distinction between the clean and the unclean cattle, and between clean and unclean birds; and you shall not defile your souls with cattle, or with birds, or with any creeping things of the earth, which I have separated for you by reason of uncleanness.

٢٦ 26 وَكُونُوا قِدِّيسِينَ لأَنِّي أَنَا قُدُّوسٌ، وَقَدْ أَفْرَزْتُكُمْ مِنْ بَيْنِ الشُّعُوبِ لِتَكُونُوا خَاصَّتِي.

And you shall be holy to me; because I the Lord your God [am] holy, who separated you from all nations, to be mine.

٢٧ 27 أَيُّ رَجُلٍ أَوِ امْرَأَةٍ يُمَارِسُ الْوَسَاطَةَ مَعَ الْجَانِّ أَوْ مُنَاجَاةَ الأَرْوَاحِ، ارْجُمُوهُ وَيَكُونُ دَمُهُ عَلَى رَأْسِهِ».

And [as for] a man or woman whoever of them shall have in them a divining spirit, or be an enchanter, let them both die the death: you shall stone them with stones, they are guilty.
