Leviticus 19

1 The Lord told Moses,

١ وَكَلَّمَ ٱلرَّبُّ مُوسَى قَائِلًا:

2 “Tell all the Israelites: You must be holy because I am holy; I am the Lord your God.

٢ «كَلِّمْ كُلَّ جَمَاعَةِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ وَقُلْ لَهُمْ: تَكُونُونَ قِدِّيسِينَ لِأَنِّي قُدُّوسٌ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكُمْ.

3 Show respect for your mother and father, and keep my Sabbaths. I am the Lord your God.

٣ تَهَابُونَ كُلُّ إِنْسَانٍ أُمَّهُ وَأَبَاهُ، وَتَحْفَظُونَ سُبُوتِي. أَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكُمْ.

4 Don't turn to idols for help or make for metal images of gods. I am the Lord your God.

٤ لَا تَلْتَفِتُوا إِلَى ٱلْأَوْثَانِ، وَآلِهَةً مَسْبُوكَةً لَا تَصْنَعُوا لِأَنْفُسِكُمْ. أَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكُمْ.

5 When you sacrifice a peace offering to the Lord, make sure you do it correctly so God will accept you.

٥ وَمَتَى ذَبَحْتُمْ ذَبِيحَةَ سَلَامَةٍ لِلرَّبِّ فَلِلرِّضَا عَنْكُمْ تَذْبَحُونَهَا.

6 It needs to be eaten the day you sacrifice it, or the next day. Whatever is left over on the third day must be burned.

٦ يَوْمَ تَذْبَحُونَهَا تُؤْكَلُ، وَفِي ٱلْغَدِ. وَٱلْفَاضِلُ إِلَى ٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلثَّالِثِ يُحْرَقُ بِٱلنَّارِ.

7 If you do eat some of it on the third day, the sacrifice becomes repulsive and won't be accepted.

٧ وَإِذَا أُكِلَتْ فِي ٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلثَّالِثِ فَذَلِكَ نَجَاسَةٌ لَا يُرْضَى بِهِ.

8 Anyone who eats it eats it will bear responsibility for their guilt, for they have made unclean what is holy to the Lord. They must be expelled from their people.

٨ وَمَنْ أَكَلَ مِنْهَا يَحْمِلُ ذَنْبَهُ لِأَنَّهُ قَدْ دَنَّسَ قُدْسَ ٱلرَّبِّ. فَتُقْطَعُ تِلْكَ ٱلنَّفْسُ مِنْ شَعْبِهَا.

9 When you harvest the crops grown on your land, don't harvest right up to the edges of your field, or collect what has been missed.

٩ «وَعِنْدَمَا تَحْصُدُونَ حَصِيدَ أَرْضِكُمْ لَا تُكَمِّلْ زَوَايَا حَقْلِكَ فِي ٱلْحَصَادِ. وَلُقَاطَ حَصِيدِكَ لَا تَلْتَقِطْ.

10 Don't take every last grape from your vineyard or pick up the ones that have fallen. Leave them for the poor people and foreigners. I am the Lord your God.

١٠ وَكَرْمَكَ لَا تُعَلِّلْهُ، وَنِثَارَ كَرْمِكَ لَا تَلْتَقِطْ. لِلْمِسْكِينِ وَٱلْغَرِيبِ تَتْرُكُهُ. أَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكُمْ.

11 Don't steal. Don't lie. Don't deceive each other.

١١ «لَا تَسْرِقُوا، وَلَا تَكْذِبُوا، وَلَا تَغْدُرُوا أَحَدُكُمْ بِصَاحِبِهِ.

12 Don't swear oaths in my name that are not true, otherwise you defame the character of your God. I am the Lord.

١٢ وَلَا تَحْلِفُوا بِٱسْمِي لِلْكَذِبِ، فَتُدَنِّسَ ٱسْمَ إِلَهِكَ. أَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ.

13 Don't cheat others or rob them. Don't refuse to pay wages due to workers until the morning.

١٣ «لَا تَغْصِبْ قَرِيبَكَ وَلَا تَسْلُبْ، وَلَا تَبِتْ أُجْرَةُ أَجِيرٍ عِنْدَكَ إِلَى ٱلْغَدِ.

14 Don't speak badly about deaf people. Don't put objects in the way of blind people to trip them up. Instead show respect to your God. I am the Lord.

١٤ لَا تَشْتِمِ ٱلْأَصَمَّ، وَقُدَّامَ ٱلْأَعْمَى لَا تَجْعَلْ مَعْثَرَةً، بَلِ ٱخْشَ إِلَهَكَ. أَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ.

15 Don't be a corrupt judge. Don't show favoritism to the poor or to the rich. Judge others fairly.

١٥ لَا تَرْتَكِبُوا جَوْرًا فِي ٱلْقَضَاءِ. لَاتَأْخُذُوا بِوَجْهِ مِسْكِينٍ وَلَا تَحْتَرِمْ وَجْهَ كَبِيرٍ. بِٱلْعَدْلِ تَحْكُمُ لِقَرِيبِكَ.

16 Don't go around spreading false rumors about people. Don't keep quiet when the lives of others are at risk. I am the Lord.

١٦ لَا تَسْعَ فِي ٱلْوِشَايَةِ بَيْنَ شَعْبِكَ. لَا تَقِفْ عَلَى دَمِ قَرِيبِكَ. أَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ.

17 Don't hold onto hateful feelings towards others. Talk honestly with your neighbors, so that you don't sin because of them.

١٧ لَا تُبْغِضْ أَخَاكَ فِي قَلْبِكَ. إِنْذَارًا تُنْذِرُ صَاحِبَكَ، وَلَا تَحْمِلْ لِأَجْلِهِ خَطِيَّةً.

18 Don't look for revenge or hold a grudge against anybody, but love your neighbor as yourself. I am the Lord.

١٨ لَا تَنْتَقِمْ وَلَا تَحْقِدْ عَلَى أَبْنَاءِ شَعْبِكَ، بَلْ تُحِبُّ قَرِيبَكَ كَنَفْسِكَ. أَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ.

19 Do what I tell you! Don't make different kinds of livestock breed together. Don't sow your fields with two different kinds of seed. Don't wear clothes made of two different kinds of material.

١٩ فَرَائِضِي تَحْفَظُونَ. لَا تُنَزِّ بَهَائِمَكَ جِنْسَيْنِ، وَحَقْلَكَ لَا تَزْرَعْ صِنْفَيْنِ، وَلَا يَكُنْ عَلَيْكَ ثَوْبٌ مُصَنَّفٌ مِنْ صِنْفَيْنِ.

20 If a man has sex with a servant girl promised to become another man's wife, but who hasn't yet been bought or set free, then compensation has to be paid. However, they are not to be killed, because she hadn't been set free.

٢٠ وَإِذَا ٱضْطَجَعَ رَجُلٌ مَعَ ٱمْرَأَةٍ ٱضْطِجَاعَ زَرْعٍ وَهِيَ أَمَةٌ مَخْطُوبَةٌ لِرَجُلٍ، وَلَمْ تُفْدَ فِدَاءً وَلَا أُعْطِيَتْ حُرِّيَّتَهَا، فَلْيَكُنْ تَأْدِيبٌ. لَا يُقْتَلَا لِأَنَّهَا لَمْ تُعْتَقْ.

21 But the man must bring a ram as his guilt offering to the Lord at the entrance of the Tent of Meeting.

٢١ وَيَأْتِي إِلَى ٱلرَّبِّ بِذَبِيحَةٍ لِإِثْمِهِ إِلَى بَابِ خَيْمَةِ ٱلِٱجْتِمَاعِ: كَبْشًا، ذَبِيحَةَ إِثْمٍ.

22 The priest will set things right for him before the Lord using the ram of the guilt offering for the sin he has committed, and his sin will be forgiven.

٢٢ فَيُكَفِّرُ عَنْهُ ٱلْكَاهِنُ بِكَبْشِ ٱلْإِثْمِ أَمَامَ ٱلرَّبِّ مِنْ خَطِيَّتِهِ ٱلَّتِي أَخْطَأَ، فَيُصْفَحُ لَهُ عَنْ خَطِيَّتِهِ ٱلَّتِي أَخْطَأَ.

23 When you enter the land and plant any kind of fruit tree, treat the fruit at first as unclean. For three years you are forbidden to eat it.

٢٣ «وَمَتَى دَخَلْتُمُ ٱلْأَرْضَ وَغَرَسْتُمْ كُلَّ شَجَرَةٍ لِلطَّعَامِ، تَحْسِبُونَ ثَمَرَهَا غُرْلَتَهَا. ثَلَاثَ سِنِينَ تَكُونُ لَكُمْ غَلْفَاءَ. لَا يُؤْكَلْ مِنْهَا.

24 The fourth year all the fruit must be dedicated to the Lord as a praise offering.

٢٤ وَفِي ٱلسَّنَةِ ٱلرَّابِعَةِ يَكُونُ كُلُّ ثَمَرِهَا قُدْسًا لِتَمْجِيدِ ٱلرَّبِّ.

25 However, the fifth year you may eat the fruit and in this way you will have an even greater harvest. I am the Lord your God.

٢٥ وَفِي ٱلسَّنَةِ ٱلْخَامِسَةِ تَأْكُلُونَ ثَمَرَهَا، لِتَزِيدَ لَكُمْ غَلَّتَهَا. أَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكُمْ.

26 Don't eat meat with blood in it. Don't use fortune-telling or witchcraft.

٢٦ «لَا تَأْكُلُوا بِٱلدَّمِ. لَا تَتَفَاءَلُوا وَلَا تَعِيفُوا.

27 Don't cut your hair on the sides of your head or trim the sides of your beard,

٢٧ لَا تُقَصِّرُوا رُؤُوسَكُمْ مُسْتَدِيرًا، وَلَا تُفْسِدْ عَارِضَيْكَ.

28 don't cut your bodies in some pagan ritual for the dead, and don't get yourselves tattoos. I am the Lord.

٢٨ وَلَا تَجْرَحُوا أَجْسَادَكُمْ لِمَيْتٍ. وَكِتَابَةَ وَسْمٍ لَا تَجْعَلُوا فِيكُمْ. أَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ.

29 Don't bring shame on your daughter by making her a prostitute, otherwise the land will become morally and spiritually depraved.

٢٩ لَا تُدَنِّسِ ٱبْنَتَكَ بِتَعْرِيضِهَا لِلزِّنَى لِئَلَّا تَزْنِيَ ٱلْأَرْضُ وَتَمْتَلِئَ ٱلْأَرْضُ رَذِيلَةً.

30 Keep my Sabbaths and show respect for my sanctuary. I am the Lord.

٣٠ سُبُوتِي تَحْفَظُونَ، وَمَقْدِسِي تَهَابُونَ. أَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ.

31 Don't try and find help from mediums or spiritists—don't even go looking for them, otherwise they will corrupt you. I am the Lord your God.

٣١ لَا تَلْتَفِتُوا إِلَى ٱلْجَانِّ وَلَا تَطْلُبُوا ٱلتَّوَابِعَ، فَتَتَنَجَّسُوا بِهِمْ. أَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكُمْ.

32 Stand up and be respectful of older people. Show reverence for your God. I am the Lord.

٣٢ مِنْ أَمَامِ ٱلْأَشْيَبِ تَقُومُ وَتَحْتَرِمُ وَجْهَ ٱلشَّيْخِ، وَتَخْشَى إِلَهَكَ. أَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ.

33 Don't mistreat foreigners who live in your country.

٣٣ «وَإِذَا نَزَلَ عِنْدَكَ غَرِيبٌ فِي أَرْضِكُمْ فَلَا تَظْلِمُوهُ.

34 Treat them in the same way as a fellow citizen, and love them as you love yourself, because you were once foreigners living in Egypt. I am the Lord your God.

٣٤ كَٱلْوَطَنِيِّ مِنْكُمْ يَكُونُ لَكُمُ ٱلْغَرِيبُ ٱلنَّازِلُ عِنْدَكُمْ، وَتُحِبُّهُ كَنَفْسِكَ، لِأَنَّكُمْ كُنْتُمْ غُرَبَاءَ فِي أَرْضِ مِصْرَ. أَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكُمْ.

35 Don't use dishonest weights and measures.

٣٥ لَا تَرْتَكِبُوا جَوْرًا فِي ٱلْقَضَاءِ، لَا فِي ٱلْقِيَاسِ، وَلَا فِي ٱلْوَزْنِ، وَلَا فِي ٱلْكَيْلِ.

36 Make sure your scales and weights are accurate, that your measures of ephah and hin are correct. I am the Lord your God who led you out of Egypt.

٣٦ مِيزَانُ حَقٍّ، وَوَزْنَاتُ حَقٍّ، وَإِيفَةُ حَقٍّ، وَهِينُ حَقٍّ تَكُونُ لَكُمْ. أَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكُمُ ٱلَّذِي أَخْرَجَكُمْ مِنْ أَرْضِ مِصْرَ.

37 Keep all my rules and regulations, and make sure you follow them. I am the Lord.”

٣٧ فَتَحْفَظُونَ كُلَّ فَرَائِضِي، وَكُلَّ أَحْكَامِي، وَتَعْمَلُونَهَا. أَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ».
