Deuteronomy 16

1 Thou shalt keepe the moneth of Abib, and thou shalt celebrate the Passeouer vnto the Lord thy God: for in the moneth of Abib ye Lord thy God brought thee out of Egypt by night.

١ احْتَفِلُوا دَائِماً بِفِصْحِ الرَّبِّ إِلَهِكُمْ فِي شَهْرِ أَبِيبَ (أَيْ شَهْرِ نِيسَانَ – أَبْرِيلَ)، فَفِي هَذَا الشَّهْرِ أَخْرَجَكُمُ الرَّبُّ إِلَهُكُمْ مِنْ مِصْرَ لَيْلاً.

2 Thou shalt therefore offer the Passeouer vnto the Lord thy God, of sheepe and bullockes in the place where the Lord shall chose to cause his Name to dwell.

٢ وَاذْبَحُوا لِلرَّبِّ إِلَهِكُمْ غَنَماً أَوْ بَقَراً فِي الْمَوْضِعِ الَّذِي يَخْتَارُهُ الرَّبُّ لِيُحِلَّ اسْمَهُ فِيهِ.

3 Thou shalt eate no leauened bread with it: but seuen dayes shalt thou eate vnleauened bread therewith, euen the bread of tribulation: for thou camest out of the land of Egypt in haste, that thou maist remember ye day whe thou camest out of the land of Egypt, all the dayes of thy life.

٣ لَا تَأْكُلُوهُ مَعَ خُبْزٍ مُخْتَمِرٍ، بَلْ كُلُوهُ مَعَ فَطِيرٍ طَوَالَ سَبْعَةِ أَيَّامٍ، لأَنَّ هَذَا هُوَ خُبْزُ الْمَشَقَّةِ، إِذْ إِنَّكُمْ عَلَى عَجَلٍ غَادَرْتُمْ دِيَارَ مِصْرَ، وَبِذَلِكَ تَتَذَكَّرُونَ يَوْمَ خُرُوجِكُمْ مِنْ دِيَارِ مِصْرَ كُلَّ أَيَّامِ حَيَاتِكُمْ.

4 And there shalbe no leauen seene with thee in all thy coastes seuen dayes long: neither shall there remaine the night any of the flesh vntil the morning which thou offeredst ye first day at euen.

٤ لَا تُبْقُوا خَمِيراً فِي أَرْضِكُمْ طَوَالَ سَبْعَةِ أَيَّامٍ، وَلا يَبِتْ شَيْءٌ مِنْ لَحْمِ حَمَلِ الْفِصْحِ الْمَذْبُوحِ فِي مَسَاءِ الْيَوْمِ الأَوَّلِ إِلَى الْغَدِ.

5 Thou maist not offer ye Passeouer within any of thy gates, which ye Lord thy God giueth thee:

٥ يُحْظَرُ عَلَيْكُمْ ذَبْحُ الْفِصْحِ فِي أَيٍّ مِنْ مُدُنِكُمُ الَّتِي يُوَرِّثُهَا لَكُمُ الرَّبُّ إِلَهُكُمْ،

6 But in the place which the Lord thy God shall choose to place his Name, there thou shalt offer the Passeouer at euen, about the going downe of the sunne, in the season that thou camest out of Egypt.

٦ بَلْ فِي الْمَكَانِ الَّذِي يَخْتَارُهُ الرَّبُّ إِلَهُكُمْ لِيُحِلَّ اسْمَهُ فِيهِ تَذْبَحُونَ الْفِصْحَ فِي الْمَسَاءِ، عِنْدَ غُرُوبِ الشَّمْسِ، فِي نَفْسِ مِيعَادِ خُرُوجِكُمْ مِنْ مِصْرَ.

7 And thou shalt roste and eate it in the place which the Lord thy God shall choose, and shalt returne on the morowe, and goe vnto thy tentes.

٧ فَتَشْوُونَهُ وَتَأْكُلُونَهُ فِي الْمَوْضِعِ الَّذِي يَخْتَارُهُ الرَّبُّ، ثُمَّ تَنْصَرِفُونَ فِي الْغَدِ كُلٌّ إِلَى خَيْمَتِهِ.

8 Six daies shalt thou eate vnleauened bread, and ye seuenth day shall be a solemne assemblie to ye Lord thy God thou shalt do no worke therein.

٨ سِتَّةَ أَيَّامٍ تَأْكُلُونَ فَطِيراً، وَفِي الْيَوْمِ السَّابِعِ تَتَوَقَّفُونَ عَنْ كُلِّ عَمَلٍ، وَتَحْتَفِلُونَ مُعْتَكِفِينَ لِلرَّبِّ.

9 Seuen weekes shalt thou nomber vnto thee, and shalt beginne to nomber ye seuen weekes, when thou beginnest to put the sickel to ye corne:

٩ احْسِبُوا سَبْعَةَ أَسَابِيعَ مُنْذُ ابْتِدَاءِ حَصَادِ الزَّرْعِ،

10 And thou shalt keepe the feast of weekes vnto the Lord thy God, euen a free gift of thine hand, which thou shalt giue vnto the Lord thy God, as the Lord thy God hath blessed thee.

١٠ ثُمَّ احْتَفِلُوا بِعِيدِ الأَسَابِيعِ لِلرَّبِّ إِلَهِكُمْ، حَيْثُ تُحْضِرُونَ مَا تَسْخُو بِهِ نُفُوسُكُمْ حَسَبَ مَا يُبَارِكُكُمُ الرَّبُّ بِهِ،

11 And thou shalt reioyce before the Lord thy God, thou and thy sonne, and thy daughter, and thy seruant, and thy maide, and the Leuite that is within thy gates, and the stranger, and the fatherles, and the widowe, that are among you, in the place which the Lord thy God shall chuse to place his Name there,

١١ فَتَحْتَفِلُونَ أَنْتُمْ وَأَبْنَاؤُكُمْ وَبَنَاتُكُمْ وَعَبِيدُكُمْ وَإِمَاؤُكُمْ، وَاللّاوِيُّونَ الْمُقِيمُونَ فِي مُدُنِكُمْ، وَالْغَرِيبُ وَالْيَتِيمُ وَالأَرْمَلَةُ الَّذِينَ بَيْنَكُمْ، لَدَى الرَّبِّ فِي الْمَوْضِعِ الَّذِي يَخْتَارُهُ لِيُحِلَّ اسْمَهُ فِيهِ.

12 And thou shalt remember that thou wast a seruant in Egypt: therefore thou shalt obserue and doe these ordinances.

١٢ وَتَذَكَّرُوا أَنَّكُمْ كُنْتُمْ عَبِيداً فِي مِصْرَ، فَأَطِيعُوا هَذِهِ الْفَرَائِضَ وَاعْمَلُوا بِها.

13 Thou shalt obserue the feast of the Tabernacles seuen daies, when thou hast gathered in thy corne, and thy wine.

١٣ وَاحْتَفِلُوا بِعِيدِ الْخِيَامِ فِي نِهَايَةِ مَوْسِمِ الْحَصَادِ، عِنْدَ جَمْعِ غَلّاتِ بَيَادِرِكُمْ وَمَعَاصِرِكُمْ،

14 And thou shalt reioyce in thy feast, thou, and thy sonne, and thy daughter, and thy seruant, and thy maid, and the Leuite, and the stranger, and the fatherlesse, and the widow, that are within thy gates.

١٤ فَتَحْتَفِلُونَ بِالْعِيدِ أَنْتُمْ وَأَبْنَاؤُكُمْ وَبَنَاتُكُمْ وَإِمَاؤُكُمْ وَاللّاوِيُّونَ وَالْغَرِيبُ وَالْيَتِيمُ وَالأَرْمَلَةُ الْمُقِيمُونَ فِي مُدُنِكُمْ،

15 Seuen daies shalt thou keepe a feast vnto the Lord thy God in the place which the Lord shall chuse: when the Lord thy God shall blesse thee in all thine increase, and in all the workes of thine hands, thou shalt in any case be glad.

١٥ فَتُعَيِّدُونَ لِلرَّبِّ سَبْعَةَ أَيَّامٍ فِي الْمَوْضِعِ الَّذِي يَخْتَارُهُ الرَّبُّ، لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ إِلَهَكُمْ يُبَارِكُ لَكُمْ مَحَاصِيلَكُمْ وَكُلَّ مَا تُنْتِجُهُ أَيْدِيكُمْ، فَيَكْمُلُ بِذَلِكَ فَرَحُكُمْ.

16 Three times in the yeere shall all the males appeare before the Lord thy God in the place which he shall chuse: in the feast of the vnleauened bread, and in the feast of the weekes, and in the feast of the Tabernacles: and they shall not appeare before the Lord emptie.

١٦ وَيَحْضُرُ جَمِيعُ ذُكُورِكُمْ ثَلاثَ مَرَّاتٍ لِلْمُثُولِ أَمَامَ الرَّبِّ إِلَهِكُمْ فِي الْمَوْضِعِ الَّذِي يَخْتَارُهُ الرَّبُّ، وَذَلِكَ فِي عِيدِ الْفَطِيرِ وَعِيدِ الأَسَابِيعِ وَعِيدِ الْمَظَالِّ. وَإِيَّاهُمْ أَنْ يَمْثُلُوا أَمَامَ الرَّبِّ مِنْ غَيْرِ تَقْدِمَاتٍ.

17 Euery man shall giue according to the gift of his hand, and according to the blessing of the Lord thy God, which he hath giuen thee.

١٧ فَيُقَدِّمُ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ مَا تَسْخُو بِهِ نَفْسُهُ حَسْبَمَا بَارَكَهُ الرَّبُّ إِلَهُهُ.

18 Iudges and officers shalt thou make thee in all thy cities, which the Lord thy God giueth thee, throughout thy tribes: and they shall iudge the people with righteous iudgement.

١٨ وَأَقِيمُوا لأَنْفُسِكُمْ قُضَاةً وَمُدَبِّرِينَ فِي جَمِيعِ الْمُدُنِ الَّتِي يُوَرِّثُكُمْ إِيَّاهَا الرَّبُّ إِلَهُكُمْ بِحَسَبِ أَسْبَاطِكُمْ فَيَقْضُوا بَيْنَ الشَّعْبِ بِالْعَدْلِ.

19 Wrest not thou ye Law, nor respect any person, neither take rewarde: for the reward blindeth ye eyes of the wise, and peruerteth ye worde of ye iust.

١٩ لَا تُعَوِّجُوا الْقَضَاءَ وَلا تُحَابُوا، وَلا تَقْبَلُوا رِشْوَةً، لأَنَّ الرِّشْوَةَ تُعْمِي أَبْصَارَ الْحُكَمَاءِ، وَتُعَوِّجُ أَقْوَالَ الصِّدِّيقِينَ.

20 That which is iust and right shalt thou follow, that thou maiest liue, and possesse the land which the Lord thy God giueth thee.

٢٠ الْعَدْلَ وَالْعَدْلَ وَحْدَهُ أَجْرُوا، لِتَحْيَوْا وَتَمْتَلِكُوا الأَرْضَ الَّتِي يَهَبُهَا الرَّبُّ إِلَهُكُمْ لَكُمْ.

21 Thou shalt plant thee no groue of any trees neere vnto the altar of the Lord thy God, which thou shalt make thee.

٢١ لَا تَنْصِبُوا لأَنْفُسِكُمْ سَوَارِيَ مِنْ شَجَرٍ مَا إِلَى جِوَارِ مَذْبَحِ الرَّبِّ إِلَهِكُمُ الَّذِي تَبْنُونَهُ لَكُمْ،

22 Thou shalt set thee vp no pillar, which thing the Lord thy God hateth.

٢٢ وَلا تُقِيمُوا لَكُمْ أَنْصَاباً مِنْ حِجَارَةٍ لأَنَّ هَذِهِ مَكْرُوهَةٌ لَدَى الرَّبِّ.
