Leviticus 22

1 And YHWH speaks to Moses, saying,

١ وَقَالَ الرَّبُّ لِمُوسَى:

2 “Speak to Aaron and to his sons, and they are separated from the holy things of the sons of Israel, and they do not defile My holy Name in what they are hallowing to Me; I [am] YHWH.

٢ «قُلْ لِهَرُونَ وَأَبْنَائِهِ أَلّا يَنْتَهِكُوا تَقْدِمَاتِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ الَّتِي يُقَدِّسُونَهَا، وَلا يُدَنِّسُوا اسْمِي الْقُدُّوسَ. فَأَنَا الرَّبُّ.

3 Say to them: Throughout your generations, any man who draws near, out of all your seed, to the holy things which the sons of Israel sanctify to YHWH, and his uncleanness [is] on him—indeed, that person has been cut off from before My face; I [am] YHWH.

٣ قُلْ لَهُمْ: إِيَّاكُمْ عَلَى مَدَى أَجْيَالِكُمْ أَنْ يَقْتَرِبَ كَاهِنٌ إِلَى التَّقْدِمَاتِ الَّتِي يُقَدِّسُهَا بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ وَهُوَ غَيْرُ طَاهِرٍ، فَإِنَّ تِلْكَ النَّفْسَ تُسْتَأْصَلُ مِنْ أَمَامِي، فَأَنَا الرَّبُّ.

4 Any man of the seed of Aaron, and he is leprous or has discharging—he does not eat of the holy things until he is clean; and he who is coming against any uncleanness of a person, or a man whose seed [from] intercourse goes out from him,

٤ أَيُّ كَاهِنٍ مِنْ نَسْلِ هَرُونَ مُصَابٌ بِالْبَرَصِ أَوِ السَّيَلانِ، لَا يَأْكُلْ مِنَ الذَّبَائِحِ الْمُقَدَّسَةِ حَتَّى يَطْهُرَ، وَكَذَلِكَ كُلُّ مَنْ لَمَسَ شَيْئاً تَنَجَّسَ بِجُثَّةِ مَيْتٍ، أَوْ شَخْصاً حَدَثَ مِنْهُ قَذْفٌ مَنَوِيٌّ.

5 or a man who comes against any teeming thing which is unclean to him, or against a man who is unclean to him, even any of his uncleanness—

٥ أَيُّ كَاهِنٍ لَمَسَ حَيَوَاناً أَوْ إِنْسَاناً غَيْرَ طَاهِرٍ لِنَجَاسَةٍ فِيهِ،

6 the person who comes against it has even been unclean until the evening, and does not eat of the holy things, but has bathed his flesh with water,

٦ فَاللّامِسُ يَكُونُ نَجِساً إِلَى الْمَسَاءِ، وَلا يَأْكُلُ مِنَ الذَّبَائِحِ الْمُقَدَّسَةِ، بَلْ يَسْتَحِمُّ بِمَاءٍ.

7 and the sun has gone in, and he has been clean, and afterward he eats of the holy things, for it [is] his food;

٧ وَلَكِنْ مَتَى غَرَبَتِ الشَّمْسُ يُصْبِحُ طَاهِراً، ثُمَّ يَأْكُلُ مِنَ الذَّبَائِحِ الْمُقَدَّسَةِ، لأَنَّهَا طَعَامُهُ.

8 he does not eat a carcass or torn thing, to become unclean with it; I [am] YHWH.

٨ لَا يَأْكُلْ مِنْ جِيفَةِ حَيَوَانٍ أَوْ فَرِيسَةٍ فَيَتَنَجَّسَ بِها. فَأَنَا الرَّبُّ.

9 And they have kept My charge, and bear no sin for it, that they have died for it when they defile it; I [am] YHWH sanctifying them.

٩ أَطِيعُوا شَعَائِرِي لِئَلَّا تَحْمِلُوا خَطِيئَتَهَا وَتَمُوتُوا بِسَبَبِهَا لأَنَّكُمْ دَنَّسْتُمُوهَا، فَأَنَا الرَّبُّ الَّذِي أُقَدِّسُكُمْ.

10 And no stranger eats of the holy thing; a settler [with] a priest and a hired worker does not eat of the holy thing;

١٠ يُحَظَرُ عَلَى غَيْرِ أُسْرَةِ الْكَاهِنِ أَنْ يَأْكُلُوا مِنَ الذَّبَائِحِ الْمُقَدَّسَةِ، سَوَاءٌ أَكَانَ ضَيْفَ الْكَاهِنِ أَمْ أَجِيرَهُ.

11 but when a priest buys a person, the purchase of his money, he eats of it, also one born in his house; they eat of his bread.

١١ لَكِنْ إِذَا اشْتَرَى الْكَاهِنُ عَبْداً بِفِضَّةٍ، أَوْ وُلِدَ فِي بَيْتِهِ عَبْدٌ، فَإِنَّ ذَلِكَ الْعَبْدَ يَأْكُلُ مِنْ طَعَامِ الْكَاهِنِ.

12 And a priest’s daughter, when she is a strange man’s, she does not eat of the raised-offering of the holy things;

١٢ وَإذَا تَزَوَّجَتِ ابْنَةُ الْكَاهِنِ مِنْ غَيْرِ كَاهِنٍ، فَإِنَّهَا لَا تَأْكُلُ مِنَ التَّقْدِمَاتِ الْمُقَدَّسَةِ.

13 but a priest’s daughter, when she is a widow, or cast out, and has no seed, and has turned back to the house of her father, as [in] her youth, she eats of her father’s bread; but no stranger eats of it.

١٣ أَمَّا إِذَا أَصْبَحَتْ أَرْمَلَةً، أَوْ مُطَلَّقَةً مِنْ غَيْرِ عَائِلٍ مِنْ نَسْلِهَا، وَرَجَعَتْ إِلَى بَيْتِ أَبِيهَا كَمَا فِي أَيَّامِ صِبَاهَا، فَإِنَّهَا تَأْكُلُ مِنْ طَعَامِ أَبِيهَا. إِنَّمَا الْغَرِيبُ لَا يَأْكُلُ مِنْهُ.

14 And when a man eats of a holy thing through ignorance, then he has added its fifth part to it, and has given [it] to the priest, with the holy thing;

١٤ وَإذَا أَكَلَ أَحَدٌ مِنَ الذَّبَائِحِ الْمُقَدَّسَةِ سَهْواً، وَلَمْ يَكُنْ مِنْ نَسْلِ هَرُونَ، يَرُدُّ لِلْكَاهِنِ قِيمَةَ مَا أَكَلَهُ مِنَ الذَّبِيحَةِ، مُضَافاً إِلَيْهِ خُمْسُهُ.

15 and they do not defile the holy things of the sons of Israel—that which they lift up to YHWH,

١٥ عَلَى الْكَهَنَةِ أَلّا يُدَنِّسُوا الذَّبَائِحَ الَّتِي يُحْضِرُهَا بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ لِلرَّبِّ،

16 or have caused them to bear the iniquity of the guilt-offering in their eating their holy things; for I [am] YHWH, sanctifying them.”

١٦ لأَنَّهُمْ بِذَلِكَ يُحَمِّلُونَ الآكِلِينَ مِنَ الذَّبَائِحِ الْمُقَدَّسَةِ ذُنُوباً تَسْتَوْجِبُ الْعِقَابَ، لأَنِّي أَنَا الرَّبُّ الَّذِي أُقَدِّسُهَا».

17 And YHWH speaks to Moses, saying,

١٧ وَقَالَ الرَّبُّ لِمُوسَى:

18 “Speak to Aaron, and to his sons, and to all the sons of Israel, and you have said to them: Any man of the house of Israel, or of the sojourners in Israel, who brings his offering near, of all his vows, or of all his willing offerings which they bring near to YHWH for a burnt-offering—

١٨ «قُلْ لِهَرُونَ وَأَبْنَائِهِ وَسَائِرِ إِسْرَائِيلَ: كُلُّ إِسْرَائِيلِيٍّ، أَوْ مِنَ الْغُرَبَاءِ الْمُقِيمِينَ فِي إِسْرَائِيلَ يُقَدِّمُ قُرْبَاناً، سَوَاءٌ كَانَ وَفَاءً لِنَذْرٍ، أَمْ تَقْدِمَةً طَوْعِيَّةً يُقَرِّبُونَهَا مُحْرَقَةً لِلرَّبِّ،

19 [you bring near] at your pleasure a perfect one, a male of the herd, of the sheep or of the goats;

١٩ تَكُونُ مُحْرَقَةً لِلرِّضَى عَنْكُمْ، ثَوْراً أَوْ كَبْشاً أَوْ تَيْساً سَلِيماً.

20 nothing in which [is] blemish do you bring near, for it is not for a pleasing thing for you.

٢٠ لَا تُقَرِّبُوا تَقْدِمَةً فِيهَا عَيْبٌ، لأَنَّهَا لَنْ تَكُونَ مَقْبُولَةً لِلرِّضَى عَنْكُمْ.

21 And when a man brings a sacrifice of peace-offerings near to YHWH, to complete a special vow, or for a willing-offering, of the herd or of the flock, it is perfect for a pleasing thing: no blemish is in it.

٢١ وَإذَا أَصْعَدَ أَحَدُكُمْ ذَبِيحَةَ سَلامٍ لِلرَّبِّ، وَفَاءً لِنَذْرٍ، أَوْ ذَبِيحَةً طَوْعِيَّةً، فَلْتَكُنْ مِنَ الْبَقَرِ أَوِ الْغَنَمِ، سَلِيمَةً خَالِيَةً مِنْ كُلِّ عَيْبٍ لِيَرْضَى الرَّبُّ عَنْكُمْ.

22 Blind, or broken, or maimed, or [having] an oozing sore [[or a defect of the eye]], or itch, or scab—you do not bring these near to YHWH, and you do not make a fire-offering from them on the altar to YHWH.

٢٢ لَا تُقَرِّبُوا لِلرَّبِّ مِنَ الذَّبَائِحِ مَا هُوَ أَعْمَى أَوْ مَكْسُورٌ أَوْ مَجْرُوحٌ أَوْ بِهِ بُثُورٌ أَوْ أَجْرَبُ أَوْ أَكْلَفُ، وَلا تَجْعَلُوا مِنْهَا وَقُوداً عَلَى الْمَذْبَحِ لِلرَّبِّ.

23 As for an ox or sheep [that] is deformed or stunted—you make it a willing-offering, but it is not pleasing for a vow.

٢٣ أَمَّا الثَّوْرُ أَوِ الْحَمَلُ الَّذِي فِيهِ عُضْوٌ زَائِدٌ أَوْ نَاقِصٌ، فَلَكَ أَنْ تُقَرِّبَهُ تَقْدِمَةً طَوْعِيَّةً، وَلَكِنْ لَيْسَ وَفَاءً لِنَذْرٍ، فَإِنَّهُ يَكُونُ مَرْفُوضاً.

24 As for bruised, or beaten, or torn, or cut—you do not bring [it] near to YHWH; and in your land you do not do it.

٢٤ لَا تُصْعِدُوا لِلرَّبِّ حَيَوَاناً ذَا خُصىً مَرْضُوضَةٍ أَوْ مَسْحُوقَةٍ أَوْ مَقْطُوعَةٍ. لَا تَفْعَلُوا هَذَا فِي أَرْضِكُمْ.

25 And you do not bring the bread of your God near from the hand of a son of a stranger, from any of these, for their corruption [is] in them; blemish [is] in them; they are not pleasing for you.”

٢٥ لَا تَشْتَرُوا مِثْلَ هَذِهِ الْحَيَوَانَاتِ مِنْ غَرِيبٍ لِتُقَدِّمُوهَا ذَبَائِحَ لإِلَهِكُمْ، لأَنَّهُ لَنْ يَقْبَلَهَا مِنْكُمْ، لِمَا فِيهَا مِنْ تَشْوِيهٍ وَعَيْبٍ».

26 And YHWH speaks to Moses, saying,

٢٦ وَقَالَ الرَّبُّ لِمُوسَى:

27 “When ox, or lamb, or goat is born, and it has been under its mother [for] seven days, then from the eighth day and from now on, it is pleasing for an offering, a fire-offering to YHWH;

٢٧ «مَتَى وَلَدَتْ بَقَرَةٌ أَوْ شَاةٌ أَوْ عَنْزَةٌ يَمْكُثُ وَلِيدُهَا مَعَهَا سَبْعَةَ أَيَّامٍ، ثُمَّ فِي الْيَوْمِ الثَّامِنِ يَصِحُّ تَقْدِيمُهَا قُرْبَانَ وَقُودٍ لِلرَّبِّ.

28 but an ox or sheep—you do not slaughter it and its young one in one day.

٢٨ لَا تَذْبَحُوا الْبَقَرَةَ أَوِ الشَّاةَ مَعَ ابْنِهَا فِي يَوْمٍ وَاحِدٍ.

29 And when you sacrifice a sacrifice of thanksgiving to YHWH, you sacrifice at your pleasure;

٢٩ وَمَتَى ذَبَحْتُمْ قُرْبَانَ شُكْرٍ لِلرَّبِّ، فَاذْبَحُوهْ لِلرِّضَى عَنْكُمْ،

30 it is eaten on that day—you do not leave of it until morning; I [am] YHWH.

٣٠ وَكُلُوهُ فِي الْيَوْمِ عَيْنِهِ، وَلا تُبْقُوا مِنْهُ شَيْئاً إِلَى الْغَدِ، فَأَنَا الرَّبُّ.

31 And you have kept my commands and have done them; I [am] YHWH;

٣١ أَطِيعُوا وَصَايَايَ وَاعْمَلُوا بِها، فَأَنَا الرَّبُّ.

32 and you do not defile My holy Name, and I have been hallowed in the midst of the sons of Israel; I [am] YHWH, sanctifying you,

٣٢ وَلا تُدَنِّسُوا اسْمِي الْقُدُّوسَ، فَأَتَقَدَّسَ وَسَطَ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ، فَأَنَا الرَّبُّ الَّذِي أُقَدِّسُكُمْ،

33 who am bringing you up out of the land of Egypt, to become your God; I [am] YHWH.”

٣٣ وَالَّذِي أَخْرَجَكُمْ مِنْ دِيَارِ مِصْرَ لِيَكُونَ لَكُمْ إِلَهاً. أَنَا الرَّبُّ».
