Deuteronomy 24

1 “When a man takes a wife and has married her, and it has been, if she does not find grace in his eyes (for he has found nakedness in her of anything), then he has written a writing of divorce for her, and given [it] into her hand, and sent her out of his house;

١ إِذَا تَزَوَّجَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ فَتَاةٍ وَلَمْ تَرُقْ لَهُ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ لأَنَّهُ اكْتَشَفَ فِيهَا عَيْباً مَا، وَأَعْطَاهَا كِتَابَ طَلاقٍ وَصَرَفَهَا مِنْ بَيْتِهِ،

2 when she has gone out of his house, and has gone and been another man’s,

٢ فَتَزَوَّجَتْ مِنْ رَجُلٍ آخَرَ بَعْدَ أَنْ أَصْبَحَتْ طَلِيقَةً،

3 and the latter man has hated her, and written a writing of divorce for her, and given [it] into her hand, and sent her out of his house, or when the latter man dies, who has taken her to himself for a wife,

٣ ثُمَّ كَرِهَهَا الزَّوْجُ الثَّانِي وَسَلَّمَهَا كِتَابَ طَلاقٍ وَصَرَفَهَا مِنْ بَيْتِهِ، أَوْ إِذَا مَاتَ هَذَا الزَّوْجُ،

4 her former husband who sent her away is not able to return to take her to be to him for a wife, after that she has become defiled; for it [is] an abomination before YHWH, and you do not cause the land to sin which your God YHWH is giving to you [for] an inheritance.

٤ فَإِنَّهُ يُحْظَرُ عَلَى زَوْجِهَا الأَوَّلِ الَّذِي طَلَّقَهَا أَنْ يَتَزَوَّجَهَا مَرَّةً أُخْرَى، بَعْدَ أَنْ تَنَجَّسَتْ. لأَنَّ ذَلِكَ رِجْسٌ لَدَى الرَّبِّ. فَلا تَجْلِبُوا خَطِيئَةً عَلَى الأَرْضِ الَّتِي يَهَبُهَا الرَّبُّ إِلَهُكُمْ لَكُمْ مِيرَاثاً.

5 When a man takes a new wife, he does not go out into the host, and [one] does not pass over to him for anything; he is free at his own house [for] one year, and his wife, whom he has taken, he has made glad.

٥ إِذَا تَزَوَّجَ رَجُلٌ حَدِيثاً يُعْفَى مِنَ الْجُنْدِيَّةِ وَالْمَسْؤُولِيَّاتِ الْعَسْكَرِيَّةِ لِمُدَّةِ سَنَةٍ، يَقْضِيهَا حُرّاً فِي بَيْتِهِ لِيُسْعِدَ زَوْجَتَهُ وَيَسُرَّهَا.

6 No one takes millstones and rider in pledge, for it [is one’s] life he is taking in pledge.

٦ لَا يَسْتَرْهِنْ أَحَدٌ رَحىً أَوْ أَحَدَ حَجَرَيْهَا، لأَنَّهُ يَسْتَرْهِنُ مَصْدَرَ الرِّزْقِ.

7 When a man is found stealing a person from his brothers, from the sons of Israel, and has tyrannized over him and sold him, then that thief has died, and you have put away evil out of your midst.

٧ إِذَا خَطَفَ رَجُلٌ أَحَداً مِنْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ إِخْوَتِهِ وَاسْتَعْبَدَهُ وَبَاعَهُ، يَمُوتُ الْخَاطِفُ. فَتَجْتَثُّونَ الشَّرَّ مِنْ بَيْنِكُمْ.

8 Take heed in the plague of leprosy, to watch greatly, and to do according to all that the priests, the Levites, teach you; you observe to do as I have commanded them;

٨ احْرِصُوا عَلَى طَاعَةِ تَعْلِيمَاتِ الْكَهَنَةِ وَاللّاوِيِّينَ فِي حَالَةِ الإِصَابَةِ بِالْبَرَصِ، وَنَفِّذُوا بِدِقَّةٍ مَا أَمَرْتُهُمْ بِهِ.

9 remember that which your God YHWH has done to Miriam in the way, in your coming out of Egypt.

٩ اذْكُرُوا مَا عَاقَبَ الرَّبُّ إِلَهُكُمْ بِهِ مَرْيَمَ فِي الطَّرِيقِ لَدَى خُرُوجِكُمْ مِنْ دِيَارِ مِصْرَ.

10 When you lift up a debt of anything on your brother, you do not go into his house to obtain his pledge;

١٠ إِذَا أَقْرَضْتَ جَارَكَ قَرْضاً فَلا تَدْخُلْ بَيْتَهُ لِتَسْتَرْهِنَ مِنْهُ شَيْئاً،

11 you stand at the outside, and the man on whom you are lifting [it] up is bringing out the pledge to you at the outside.

١١ بَلْ تَمْكُثُ خَارِجاً، فَيَأْتِي الرَّجُلُ الَّذِي تُقْرِضُهُ بِالرَّهْنِ إِلَيْكَ حَيْثُ تَقِفُ.

12 And if he is a poor man, you do not lie down with his pledge;

١٢ وَإِنْ كَانَ الْمُقْتَرِضُ فَقِيراً فَلا يَبِتْ رَهْنُهُ عِنْدَكَ،

13 you certainly give back the pledge to him at the going in of the sun, and he has lain down in his own raiment and has blessed you; and it is righteousness to you before your God YHWH.

١٣ بَلْ رُدَّهُ إِلَيْهِ عِنْدَ غُرُوبِ الشَّمْسِ لِيَنَامَ فِي ثَوْبِهِ وَيُبَارِكَكَ، فَيَحْسِبَ الرَّبُّ إِلَهُكَ ذَلِكَ لَكَ بِرّاً.

14 You do not oppress a hired worker, poor and needy, of your brothers or of your sojourner who is in your land within your gates;

١٤ لَا تَظْلِمْ أَجِيراً وَفَقِيراً، سَوَاءٌ كَانَ مِنْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ أَوْ مِنَ الْغُرَبَاءِ الْمُقِيمِينَ فِي مَدِينَتِكَ.

15 you give his hire in his day, and the sun does not go in on it, for he [is] poor, and he is supporting his life on it, lest he cries against you to YHWH, and it has been sin in you.

١٥ ادْفَعْ لَهُ أُجْرَتَهُ فِي يَوْمِهِ قَبْلَ غُرُوبِ الشَّمْسِ لأَنَّهُ فَقِيرٌ، أَجْهَدَ نَفْسَهُ لِلْحُصُولِ عَلَيْهَا. وَإلَّا تَوَجَّهَ إِلَى الرَّبِّ بِالشَّكْوَى ضِدَّكَ، فَتَكُونُ هَذِهِ عَلَيْكَ خَطِيئَةً.

16 Fathers are not put to death for sons, and sons are not put to death for fathers—they are each put to death for his own sin.

١٦ لَا يُقْتَلُ الآبَاءُ عِوَضاً عَنِ الأَبْنَاءِ، وَلا يُقْتَلُ الأَبْنَاءُ بَدَلاً مِنَ الآبَاءِ، فَكُلُّ إِنْسَانٍ يَتَحَمَّلُ وِزْرَ نَفْسِهِ.

17 You do not turn aside the judgment of a fatherless sojourner, nor take the garment of a widow in pledge;

١٧ لَا تُحَرِّفُوا حُكْمَ الْعَدَالَةِ فَتَظْلِمُوا الْغَرِيبَ وَالْيَتِيمَ، وَلا تَسْتَرْهِنُوا ثَوْبَ الأَرْمَلَةِ،

18 and you have remembered that you have been a servant in Egypt, and your God YHWH ransoms you from there; therefore I am commanding you to do this thing.

١٨ وَاذْكُرُوا أَنَّكُمْ كُنْتُمْ عَبِيداً فِي دِيَارِ مِصْرَ فَأَنْقَذَكُمُ الرَّبُّ إِلَهُكُمْ. لِهَذَا أُوصِيكُمْ بِالْعَدْلِ.

19 When you reap your harvest in your field, and have forgotten a sheaf in a field, you do not return to take it; it is for the sojourner, for the fatherless, and for the widow, so that your God YHWH blesses you in all the work of your hands.

١٩ إِذَا حَصَدْتُمْ غَلّاتِكُمْ وَنَسِيْتُمْ حُزْمَةً فِي الْحَقْلِ فَلا تَرْجِعُوا لأَخْذِهَا، بَلِ اتْرُكُوهَا لِلْغَرِيبِ وَالْيَتِيمِ وَالأَرْمَلَةِ، لِيُبَارِكَكُمُ الرَّبُّ إِلَهُكُمْ فِي كُلِّ مَا تَعْمَلُهُ أَيْدِيكُمْ.

20 When you beat your olive, you do not examine the branch behind you; it is for the sojourner, for the fatherless, and for the widow.

٢٠ إِذَا هَزَزْتُمْ أَشْجَارَ زَيْتُونِكُمْ لإِسْقَاطِ ثِمَارِهَا، فَلا تَلْتَقِطُوا مَا بَقِيَ فِي الأَغْصَانِ مِنْهَا، بَلِ اتْرُكُوهَا وَرَاءَكُمْ لِلْغَرِيبِ وَالْيَتِيمِ وَالأَرْمَلَةِ.

21 When you cut your vineyard, you do not glean behind you; it is for the sojourner, for the fatherless, and for the widow;

٢١ إِذَا قَطَفْتُمْ كُرُومَكُمْ فَلا تُعَاوِدُوا قَطْفَ مَا بَقِيَ مِنْ عَنَاقِيدَ وَرَاءَكُمْ، بَلِ اتْرُكُوهَا لِلْغَرِيبِ وَالْيَتِيمِ وَالأَرْمَلَةِ.

22 and you have remembered that you have been a servant in the land of Egypt; therefore I am commanding you to do this thing.”

٢٢ وَاذْكُرُوا أَنَّكُمْ كُنْتُمْ عَبِيداً فِي دِيَارِ مِصْرَ. مِنْ أَجْلِ هَذَا أُوصِيكُمْ أَنْ تُنَفِّذُوا هَذَا الأَمْرَ.
