Deuteronomy 14

1 “You [are] sons of your God YHWH; you do not cut yourselves, nor make baldness between your eyes for the dead;

١ أَنْتُمْ أَبْنَاءُ لِلرَّبِّ إِلَهِكُمْ، فَلا تُجَرِّحُوا أَجْسَادَكُمْ، وَلا تَحْلِقُوا مُقَدِّمَةَ رُؤُوسِكُمْ حُزْناً عَلَى مَيْتٍ،

2 for you [are] a holy people to your God YHWH, and YHWH has fixed on you to be to Him for a people, a peculiar treasure, out of all the peoples who [are] on the face of the ground.

٢ لأَنَّكُمْ شَعْبٌ مُقَدَّسٌ لِلرَّبِّ إِلَهِكُمْ، وَقَدِ اخْتَارَكُمْ مِنْ بَيْنِ شُعُوبِ الأَرْضِ كَافَّةً لِتَكُونُوا لَهُ شَعْباً خَاصّاً.

3 You do not eat any abomination;

٣ لَا تَأْكُلُوا شَيْئاً رِجْساً.

4 this [is] the beast which you eat: ox, lamb of the sheep, or kid of the goats,

٤ أَمَّا الْبَهَائِمُ الَّتِي تَأْكُلُونَ مِنْهَا فَهِيَ: الْبَقَرُ وَالضَّأْنُ وَالْمَعْزُ

5 deer, and roe, and fallow deer, and wild goat, and ibex, and antelope, and zemer;

٥ وَالأُيَّلُ وَالظِّبَاءُ وَبَعْضُ أَنْوَاعِ الْوُعُولِ وَالْغُزْلانِ الْبَيْضَاءِ، وَالْبَقَرُ الْوَحْشِيُّ،

6 and every beast dividing the hoof, and cleaving the cleft into two hooves, bringing up the cud, among the beasts—you eat it.

٦ وَكُلُّ بَهِيمَةٍ ذَاتِ ظِلْفٍ مَشْقُوقٍ وَمُجْتَرَّةٍ تَأْكُلُونَهَا.

7 Only, this you do not eat, of those bringing up the cud, and of those dividing the cloven hoof: the camel, and the hare, and the hyrax, for they are bringing up the cud, but the hoof has not divided—they [are] unclean to you;

٧ وَلَكِنْ لَا تَأْكُلُوا الْحَيَوَانَاتِ الْمُجْتَرَّةَ غَيْرَ مَشْقُوقَةِ الظِّلْفِ، كَالْجَمَلِ وَالأَرْنَبِ وَالْوَبَرِ، فَإِنَّهَا تَجْتَرُّ وَلَكِنَّهَا غَيْرُ مَشْقُوقَةِ الظِّلْفِ، لِذَلِكَ هِيَ نَجِسَةٌ لَكُمْ،

8 and the sow, for it is dividing the hoof, and not [bringing] up the cud—it [is] unclean to you; you do not eat of their flesh, and you do not come against their carcass.

٨ وَالْخِنْزِيرِ لأَنَّهُ مَشْقُوقُ الظِّلْفِ وَلَكِنَّهُ غَيْرُ مُجْتَرٍّ، لِذَلِكَ فَهُوَ نَجِسٌ لَكُمْ. فَلا تَأْكُلُوا مِنْ لَحْمِ جَمِيعِ هَذِهِ الْبَهَائِمِ وَلا تَلْمَسُوا جُثَثَهَا.

9 This you eat of all which [are] in the waters: anything that has fins and scales you eat;

٩ أَمَّا مَا يَعِيشُ فِي الْمَاءِ فَكُلُوا مِنْ كُلِّ مَالَهُ زَعَانِفُ وَقُشُورٌ،

10 and anything which does not have fins and scales you do not eat—it [is] unclean to you.

١٠ وَلَكِنْ لَا تَأْكُلُوا مِمَّا لَيْسَ لَهُ زَعَانِفُ وَقُشُورٌ لأَنَّهُ نَجِسٌ لَكُمْ.

11 Any clean bird you eat;

١١ كُلُوا مِنْ كُلِّ طَيْرٍ طَاهِرٍ،

12 and these [are] they of which you do not eat: the eagle, and the bearded vulture, and the osprey,

١٢ وَلَكِنْ مِنَ الطُّيُورِ التَّالِيَةِ لَا تَأْكُلُوا: النَّسْرَ وَالأَنُوقَ وَالْعُقَابَ

13 and the kite, and the falcon, and the vulture after its kind,

١٣ وَالْحِدَأَةَ وَالْبَاشِقَ وَالشَّاهِينَ بِمُخْتَلَفِ أَنْوَاعِهِ،

14 and every raven after its kind;

١٤ وَجَمِيعَ أَصْنَافِ الْغِرْبَانِ،

15 and the ostrich, and the nightjar [[or male ostrich]], and the seagull, and the hawk after its kind;

١٥ وَالنَّعَامَةَ وَالظَّلِيمَ وَالسَّأَفَ وَكُلَّ أَجْنَاسِ الْبَازِ،

16 the little owl, and the great owl, and the waterhen,

١٦ وَالْبُومَ وَالْكُرْكِيَّ وَالْبَجَعَ،

17 and the pelican, and the Egyptian vulture, and the cormorant,

١٧ وَالْقُوقَ وَالرَّخَمَ وَالْغَوَّاصَ،

18 and the stork, and the heron after its kind, and the hoopoe, and the bat.

١٨ وَاللَّقْلَقَ وَالْبَبْغَاءَ عَلَى مُخْتَلَفِ أَنْوَاعِهِ، وَالْهُدْهُدَ وَالْخُفَّاشَ.

19 And every teeming thing which is flying—it [is] unclean to you; they are not eaten;

١٩ وَكُلُّ حَشَرَةٍ تَطِيرُ، هِيَ نَجِسَةٌ لَكُمْ. لَا تَأْكُلُوهَا.

20 any clean bird you eat.

٢٠ وَلَكِنْ كُلُوا مِنْ كُلِّ طَيْرٍ طَاهِرٍ.

21 You do not eat of any carcass; you give it to the sojourner who [is] within your gates, and he has eaten it; or sell [it] to a stranger; for you [are] a holy people to your God YHWH. You do not boil a kid in its mother’s milk.

٢١ لَا تَأْكُلُوا جُثَّةَ حَيَوَانٍ مَيْتٍ، بَلْ أَعْطُوهَا لِلْغَرِيبِ الْمُقِيمِ فِي جِوَارِكُمْ فَيَأْكُلَهَا أَوْ يَبِيعَهَا لأَجْنَبِيٍّ، لأَنَّكُمْ شَعْبٌ مُقَدَّسٌ لِلرَّبِّ إِلَهِكُمْ. لَا تَطْبُخُوا جَدْياً بِلَبَنِ أُمِّهِ.

22 You certainly tithe all the increase of your seed which the field is bringing forth year by year;

٢٢ قَدِّمُوا عُشُورَ مَحَاصِيلِكُمُ الَّتِي تُغِلُّهَا حُقُولُكُمْ كُلَّ سَنَةٍ،

23 and you have eaten before your God YHWH, in the place where He chooses to cause His Name to dwell, the tithe of your grain, of your new wine, and of your oil, and the firstlings of your herd, and of your flock, so that you learn to fear your God YHWH [for] all the days.

٢٣ وَكُلُوا عُشُورَ قَمْحِكُمْ وَخَمْرِكُمْ وَزُيُوتِكُمْ وَأَبْكَارَ بَقَرِكُمْ وَغَنَمِكُمْ لَدَى الرَّبِّ، فِي الْمَوْضِعِ الَّذِي يَخْتَارُهُ لِيُحِلَّ اسْمَهُ فِيهِ، لِتَتَعَلَّمُوا أَنْ تَتَّقُوا الرَّبَّ إِلَهَكُمْ دَائِماً.

24 And when the way is too much for you, that you are not able to carry it—when the place is too far off from you which your God YHWH chooses to put His Name there, when your God YHWH blesses you—

٢٤ وَلَكِنْ إِنْ كَانَتِ الطَّرِيقُ إِلَى مَوْضِعِ سُكْنَى الرَّبِّ طَوِيلَةً، بِحَيْثُ يَتَعَذَّرُ عَلَيْكُمْ حَمْلُ عُشُورِكُمْ إِلَيْهِ، وَإذَا كَانَ الْمَكَانُ الَّذِي يَخْتَارُهُ الرَّبُّ إِلَهُكُمْ لِيَجْعَلَ اسْمَهُ فِيهِ بَعِيداً عَلَيْكُمْ، وَكَانَ الرَّبُّ قَدْ بَارَكَكُمْ،

25 then you have given [it] in money, and have bound up the money in your hand, and gone to the place on which your God YHWH fixes;

٢٥ فَبِيعُوا عُشُورَ غَلَّاتِكُمْ بِفِضَّةٍ وصُرُّوهَا وَامْضُوا إِلَى الْمَوْضِعِ الَّذِي يَخْتَارُهُ الرَّبُّ إِلَهُكُمْ،

26 and you have given the money for anything which your soul desires, for oxen, and for sheep, and for wine, and for strong drink, and for anything which your soul asks for, and you have eaten before your God YHWH there, and you have rejoiced, you and your house.

٢٦ وَأَنْفِقُوا الْفِضَّةَ عَلَى مَا تَشْتَهِيهِ أَنْفُسُكُمْ مِنْ بَقَرٍ وَغَنَمٍ وَخَمْرٍ وَمُسْكِرٍ وَكُلِّ مَا تَرْغَبُونَ فِيهِ، وَاحْتَفِلُوا أَنْتُمْ وَأَهْلُ بُيُوتِكُمْ لَدَى الرَّبِّ إِلَهِكُمْ.

27 As for the Levite who [is] within your gates, you do not forsake him, for he has no portion and inheritance with you.

٢٧ وَلا تُهْمِلُوا اللّاوِيِّينَ الْمُقِيمِينَ فِي مُدُنِكُمْ لأَنَّهُمْ لَمْ يَرِثُوا مِلْكاً أَوْ نَصِيباً مَعَكُمْ.

28 At the end of three years you bring out all the tithe of your increase in that year, and have placed [it] within your gates;

٢٨ وَفِي نِهَايَةِ كُلِّ ثَلاثِ سِنِينَ، أَخْرِجُوا عُشُورَ مَحْصُولِ السَّنَةِ الثَّالِثَةِ وَاخْزُنُوهَا فِي مُدُنِكُمْ،

29 and the Levite has come in—for he has no part and inheritance with you—and the sojourner, and the fatherless, and the widow, who [are] within your gates, and they have eaten, and been satisfied, so that your God YHWH blesses you in all the work of your hand which you do.”

٢٩ فَيُقْبِلَ اللّاوِيُّونَ الَّذِينَ لَمْ يَرِثُوا مِلْكاً أَوْ نَصِيباً مَعَكُمْ، وَالْغَرِيبُ وَالْيَتِيمُ وَالأَرْمَلَةُ، الْمُقِيمُونَ فِي مُدُنِكُمْ فَيَأْكُلُونَ وَيَشْبَعُونَ لِيُبَارِكَكُمُ الرَّبُّ إِلَهُكُمْ فِي كُلِّ مَا تُنْتِجُهُ أَيْدِيكُمْ.
