Deuteronomy 23

1 “No one wounded, bruised, or cut in the genitals enters into the assembly of YHWH;

١ لَا يَدْخُلْ ذُو الْخِصْيَتَيْنِ الْمَرْضُوضَتَيْنِ أَوِ الْمَجْبُوبُ فِي جَمَاعَةِ الرَّبِّ.

2 a bastard does not enter into the assembly of YHWH; even a tenth generation of him does not enter into the assembly of YHWH.

٢ لَا يَدْخُلِ ابْنُ زِنىً وَلا أَحَدٌ مِنْ ذُرِّيَّتِهِ حَتَّى الْجِيلِ الْعَاشِرِ فِي جَمَاعَةِ الرَّبِّ.

3 An Ammonite and a Moabite do not enter into the assembly of YHWH; even a tenth generation of them do not enter into the assembly of YHWH—for all time,

٣ لَا يَدْخُلْ عَمُّونِيٌّ وَلا مُوآبِيٌّ فِي جَمَاعَةِ الرَّبِّ، وَلا أَحَدٌ مِنْ ذُرِّيَّتِهِمْ حَتَّى بَعْدَ الْجِيلِ الْعَاشِرِ فِي جَمَاعَةِ الرَّبِّ وَإِلَى الأَبَدِ،

4 because that they have not come before you with bread and with water in the way, in your coming out from Egypt, and because he has hired against you Balaam son of Beor, of Pethor of Aram-Naharaim, to revile you;

٤ لأَنَّهُمْ لَمْ يَسْتَقْبِلُوكُمْ بِالْخُبْزِ وَالْمَاءِ فِي الطَّرِيقِ عِنْدَ خُرُوجِكُمْ مِنْ مِصْرَ، وَلأَنَّهُمُ اسْتَأْجَرُوا بَلْعَامَ بْنَ بَعُورَ مِنْ فَتُورِ أَرَامِ النَّهْرَيْنِ لِيَلْعَنَكُمْ

5 and your God YHWH has not been willing to listen to Balaam, and your God YHWH turns the reviling to a blessing for you, because your God YHWH has loved you;

٥ وَلَكِنَّ الرَّبَّ إِلَهَكُمْ لَمْ يَشَأْ أَنْ يَسْتَجِيبَ لِبَلْعَامَ، بَلْ حَوَّلَ لأَجْلِكُمُ اللَّعْنَةَ إِلَى بَرَكَةٍ، لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ إِلَهَكُمْ قَدْ أَحَبَّكُمْ.

6 you do not seek their peace and their good all your days—for all time.

٦ لَا تَسْعَوْا فِي سَبِيلِ مُسَالَمَتِهِمْ وَخَيْرِهِمْ إِلَى الأَبَدِ.

7 You do not detest an Edomite, for he [is] your brother; you do not detest an Egyptian, for you have been a sojourner in his land;

٧ لَا تَمْقُتُوا الأَدُومِيِّينَ لأَنَّهُمْ إِخْوَتُكُمْ، وَلا تَكْرَهُوا الْمِصْرِيِّينَ لأَنَّكُمْ كُنْتُمْ ضُيُوفاً فِي دِيَارِهِمْ

8 sons who are begotten of them, a third generation of them, enter into the assembly of YHWH.

٨ وَمَنْ يُوْلَدُ مِنْ ذُرِّيَّتِهِمْ فِي الْجِيلِ الثَّالِثِ يَدْخُلُ فِي جَمَاعَةِ الرَّبِّ.

9 When a camp goes out against your enemies, then you have kept from every evil thing.

٩ إِذَا خَرَجْتُمْ لِمُحَارَبَةِ أَعْدَائِكُمْ فَامْتَنِعُوا عَنْ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَبِيحٍ

10 When there is a man who is not clean in you, from an accident at night, then he has gone out to the outside of the camp; he does not come into the midst of the camp;

١٠ فَإِنْ كَانَ بَيْنَكُمْ رَجُلٌ غَيْرَ طَاهِرٍ عَلَى أَثَرِ اسْتِحْلامٍ فَلْيَمْضِ إِلَى خَارِجِ الْمُعَسْكَرِ. لَا يَدْخُلُ إِلَيْهِ.

11 and it has been, at the turning of the evening, he bathes with water, and at the going in of the sun he comes into the midst of the camp.

١١ وَعِنْدَ حُلُولِ الْمَسَاءِ يَسْتَحِمُّ بِمَاءٍ، ثُمَّ يَدْخُلُ إِلَى الْمُعَسْكَرِ عِنْدَ غُرُوبِ الشَّمْسِ.

12 And you have a station at the outside of the camp, and you have gone out there outside;

١٢ وَعَلَيْكُمْ أَنْ تُحَدِّدُوا مَوْضِعاً لِقَضَاءِ الْحَاجَةِ خَارِجَ الْمُعَسْكَرِ.

13 and you have a peg on your staff, and it has been, in your sitting outside, that you have dug with it, and turned back, and covered your filth.

١٣ وَلْيَكُنْ مَعَ كُلِّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْكُمْ وَتَدٌ بَيْنَ عَتَادِهِ لِيَحْفُرَ بِهِ حُفْرَةً يَقْضِي فِيهَا حَاجَتَهُ، ثُمَّ يُغَطِّي بِرَازَهُ بِالتُّرَابِ،

14 For your God YHWH is walking up and down in the midst of your camp, to deliver you and to give your enemies before you, and your camp has been holy, and He does not see the nakedness of anything in you, and has turned back from after you.

١٤ لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ إِلَهَكُمْ سَائِرٌ فِي وَسَطِ مُعَسْكَرِكُمْ لِيُنْقِذَكُمْ وَيُظْفِرَكُمْ بِأَعْدَائِكُمْ. فَلْيَكُنْ مُعَسْكَرُكُمْ مُقَدَّساً لِئَلّا يَشْهَدَ فِيهِ أَقْذَاراً فَيَتَحَوَّلَ عَنْكُمْ.

15 You do not shut up a servant to his lord, who escapes to you from his lord;

١٥ إِذَا لَجَأَ إِلَيْكُمْ عَبْدٌ هَارِبٌ مِنْ مَوْلاهُ، لَا تُسَلِّمُوهُ إِلَى مَوْلاهُ،

16 he dwells with you in your midst, in the place which he chooses within one of your gates, where it is pleasing to him; you do not oppress him.

١٦ بَلْ يُقِيمُ حَيْثُ يَطِيبُ لَهُ فِي الْمَوْضِعِ الَّذِي يَخْتَارُهُ فِي إِحْدَى مُدُنِكُمْ وَلا تَظْلِمُوهُ.

17 There is not a whore among the daughters of Israel, nor is there a whoremonger among the sons of Israel;

١٧ لَا يَكُنْ مِنْ بَنَاتِ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَلا مِنْ أَبْنَاءِ إِسْرَائِيلَ زَانِيَاتٌ وَمَأْبُونُو مَعَابِدَ.

18 you do not bring the wage of a whore or the price of a dog into the house of your God YHWH for any vow; for even both of them [are] an abomination [to] your God YHWH.

١٨ لَا تَأْتُوا بِتَقْدِمَةِ نَذْرٍ مَا إِلَى بَيْتِ الرَّبِّ إِلَهِكُمْ مِنْ مَكْسَبِ زَانِيَةٍ أَوْ مَأْبُونٍ، لأَنَّ كِلَيْهِمَا رِجْسٌ أَمَامَ الرَّبِّ.

19 You do not lend in usury to your brother—usury of money, usury of food, usury of anything which is lent on usury.

١٩ لَا تَتَقَاضَوْا فَوَائِدَ عَمَّا تُقْرِضُونَهُ لإِخْوَتِكُمْ مِنْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ، سَوَاءٌ كَانَتِ الْقُرُوضُ فِضَّةً أَوْ أَطْعِمَةً أَوْ أَيَّ شَيْءٍ آخَرَ.

20 You may lend in usury to a stranger, but you do not lend in usury to your brother, so that your God YHWH blesses you in every putting forth of your hand on the land to where you go in to possess it.

٢٠ أَمَّا الأَجْنَبِيُّ فَأَقْرِضُوهُ بِرِباً. إِنَّمَا إِيَّاكُمْ إِقْرَاضَ أَخِيكُمْ بِفَائِدَةٍ، لِيُبَارِكَكُمُ الرَّبُّ إِلَهُكُمْ فِي كُلِّ مَا تُنْتِجُهُ أَيْدِيكُمْ فِي الأَرْضِ الَّتِي أَنْتُمْ مَاضُونَ لاِمْتِلاكِهَا.

21 When you vow a vow to your God YHWH, you do not delay to complete it; for your God YHWH certainly requires it from you, lest it has been sin in you.

٢١ إِذَا نَذَرْتُمْ نَذْراً لِلرَّبِّ فَلا تُمَاطِلُوا فِي الْوَفَاءِ بِهِ، لأَنَّ إِلَهَكُمْ يُطَالِبُكُمْ بِهِ وَيَحْسَبُ ذَلِكَ عَلَيْكُمْ ذَنْباً

22 And when you refrain to vow, it is not sin in you.

٢٢ وَإِنْ لَمْ تَنْذِرُوا لَا تَكُونُ عَلَيْكُمْ خَطِيئَةٌ.

23 You keep and have done the utterance of your lips, as you have vowed to your God YHWH, a free-will offering which you have spoken with your mouth.

٢٣ أَمَّا مَا تَعَهَّدَتْ بِهِ شَفَتَاكَ فَذَاكَ احْفَظْهُ وَأَوْفِهِ، كَمَا نَذَرْتَ طَوَاعِيَةً لِلرَّبِّ إِلَهِكَ، وَكَمَا تَعَهَّدَ بِهِ فَمُكَ.

24 When you come into the vineyard of your neighbor, then you have eaten grapes according to your desire, your sufficiency, but you do not put [any] into your vessel.

٢٤ إِذَا دَخَلْتَ كَرْمَ عِنَبِ جَارِكَ فَكُلْ مِنْهُ بِقَدْرِ مَا تَشْتَهِي نَفْسُكَ حَتَّى الشَّبْعِ، وَلَكِنْ لَا تَقْطِفْ مِنْ عِنَبِهِ وَتَضَعْهُ فِي وِعَائِكَ.

25 When you come in among the standing grain of your neighbor, then you have plucked the ears with your hand, but you do not wave a sickle over the standing grain of your neighbor.”

٢٥ إِذَا دَخَلْتَ حَقْلَ قَمْحِ صَاحِبِكَ فَاقْطِفْ مِنْ سَنَابِلِهِ، وَلَكِنْ لَا تَحْصُدْ مِنْهُ بِمِنْجَلِكَ.
