لاويّين 20

١ 1 وَكَلَّمَ الرَّبُّ مُوسَى قَائِلاً:

And YHWH speaks 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.

“And you say to the sons of Israel: Any man of the sons of Israel, and of the sojourners who is sojourning in Israel, who gives to the Molech from his seed, is certainly put to death; the people of the land stone him with stone;

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

and I set My face against that man, and have cut him off from the midst of his people, for he has given to the Molech from his seed, so as to defile My sanctuary, and to defile My holy Name.

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

And if the people of the land really hide their eyes from that man, in his giving to the Molech from his seed, 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 I have set My face against that man and against his family, and have cut him off, and all who are going whoring after him, even going whoring after the Molech, from the midst of their people.

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

And the person who turns to those having familiar spirits, and to the wizards, to go whoring after them, I have even set My face against that person, and cut him off from the midst of his people.

٧ 7 فَتَقَدَّسُوا وَكُونُوا قِدِّيسِينَ، لأَنِّي أَنَا الرَّبُّ إِلَهُكُمْ.

And you have sanctified yourselves, and you have been holy, for I [am] your God YHWH;

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

and you have kept My statutes and have done them; I [am] YHWH, sanctifying you.

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

For any man who reviles his father and his mother is certainly put to death; he has reviled his father and his mother: his blood [is] on him.

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

And a man who commits adultery with a man’s wife—who commits adultery with the wife of his neighbor—the adulterer and the adulteress are surely put to death.

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

And a man who lies with his father’s wife—he has uncovered the nakedness of his father—both of them are certainly put to death; their blood [is] on them.

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

And a man who lies with his daughter-in-law—both of them are certainly put to death; they have done perversion; their blood [is] on them.

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

And a man who lies with a male as one lies with a woman—both of them have done an abomination; they are certainly put to death; their blood [is] on them.

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

And a man who takes the woman and her mother—it [is] wickedness; they burn him and them with fire, and there is no wickedness in your midst.

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

And a man who commits his intercourse with a beast is certainly put to death, and you slay the beast.

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

And a woman who draws near to any beast to mate with it—you have even slain the woman and the beast; they are certainly put to death; their blood [is] on them.

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.

And a man who takes his sister, a daughter of his father or daughter of his mother, and he has seen her nakedness, and she sees his nakedness—it is a shame; and they have been cut off before the eyes of the sons of their people; he has uncovered the nakedness of his sister; he bears his iniquity.

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

And a man who lies with a sick woman and has uncovered her nakedness, her fountain he has made bare, and she has uncovered the fountain of her blood—even both of them have been cut off from the midst of their people.

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

And you do not uncover the nakedness of your mother’s sister and your father’s sister, because his relation he has made bare; they bear their iniquity.

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

And a man who lies with his aunt, he has uncovered the nakedness of his uncle; they bear their sin; they die childless.

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

And a man who takes his brother’s wife—it [is] impurity; he has uncovered the nakedness of his brother; they are childless.

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

And you have kept all My statutes and all My judgments, and have done them, and the land does not vomit you out to where I am bringing you in to dwell in it;

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

and you do not walk in the statutes of the nation which I am sending away from before you, for they have done all these, and I am wearied with them.

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

And I say to you, You possess their ground, and I give it to you to possess it—a land flowing with milk and honey. I [am] your God YHWH, who has separated you from the peoples.

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

And you have made separation between the pure beasts and the unclean, and between the unclean bird and the pure, and you do not make yourselves abominable by beast or by bird, or by anything which creeps [on] the ground which I have separated to you for unclean.

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

And you have been holy to Me, for I, YHWH, [am] holy; and I separate you from the peoples to become Mine.

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

And a man or woman, when there is a familiar spirit in them, or who [are] wizards, are certainly put to death; they stone them with stone; their blood [is] on them.”
