Exodus 23

1 "You shall not spread a false report. Do not join your hand with the wicked to be an unjust witness.

١ «لَا تَقْبَلْ خَبَرًا كَاذِبًا، وَلَا تَضَعْ يَدَكَ مَعَ ٱلْمُنَافِقِ لِتَكُونَ شَاهِدَ ظُلْمٍ.

2 You shall not follow a crowd to do evil; neither shall you testify in court to side with a multitude to pervert justice;

٢ لَا تَتْبَعِ ٱلْكَثِيرِينَ إِلَى فِعْلِ ٱلشَّرِّ، وَلَا تُجِبْ فِي دَعْوَى مَائِلًا وَرَاءَ ٱلْكَثِيرِينَ لِلتَّحْرِيفِ.

3 neither shall you favor a poor man in his cause.

٣ وَلَا تُحَابِ مَعَ ٱلْمِسْكِينِ فِي دَعْوَاهُ.

4 "If you meet your enemy's ox or his donkey going astray, you shall surely bring it back to him again.

٤ إِذَا صَادَفْتَ ثَوْرَ عَدُوِّكَ أَوْ حِمَارَهُ شَارِدًا، تَرُدُّهُ إِلَيْهِ.

5 If you see the donkey of him who hates you fallen down under his burden, do not leave him, you shall surely help him with it.

٥ إِذَا رَأَيْتَ حِمَارَ مُبْغِضِكَ وَاقِعًا تَحْتَ حِمْلِهِ وَعَدَلْتَ عَنْ حَلِّهِ، فَلَا بُدَّ أَنْ تَحُلَّ مَعَهُ.

6 "You shall not deny justice to your poor people in their lawsuits.

٦ لَا تُحَرِّفْ حَقَّ فَقِيرِكَ فِي دَعْوَاهُ.

7 "Keep far from a false charge, and do not kill the innocent and righteous: for I will not justify the wicked.

٧ اِبْتَعِدْ عَنْ كَلَامِ ٱلْكَذِبِ، وَلَا تَقْتُلِ ٱلْبَرِيءَ وَٱلْبَارَّ، لِأَنِّي لَا أُبَرِّرُ ٱلْمُذْنِبَ.

8 "You shall take no bribe, for a bribe blinds the eyes of those who have sight and perverts the words of the righteous.

٨ وَلَا تَأْخُذْ رَشْوَةً، لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّشْوَةَ تُعْمِي ٱلْمُبْصِرِينَ، وَتُعَوِّجُ كَلَامَ ٱلْأَبْرَارِ.

9 "You shall not oppress a foreigner, for you know the heart of a foreigner, seeing you were foreigners in the land of Egypt.

٩ وَلَا تُضَايِقِ ٱلْغَرِيبَ فَإِنَّكُمْ عَارِفُونَ نَفْسَ ٱلْغَرِيبِ، لِأَنَّكُمْ كُنْتُمْ غُرَبَاءَ فِي أَرْضِ مِصْرَ.

10 "For six years you shall sow your land, and shall gather in its increase,

١٠ «وَسِتَّ سِنِينَ تَزْرَعُ أَرْضَكَ وَتَجْمَعُ غَلَّتَهَا،

11 but the seventh year you shall let it rest and lie fallow, that the poor of your people may eat; and what they leave the animal of the field shall eat. In like manner you shall deal with your vineyard and with your olive grove.

١١ وَأَمَّا فِي ٱلسَّابِعَةِ فَتُرِيحُهَا وَتَتْرُكُهَا لِيَأْكُلَ فُقَرَاءُ شَعْبِكَ. وَفَضْلَتُهُمْ تَأْكُلُهَا وُحُوشُ ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ. كَذَلِكَ تَفْعَلُ بِكَرْمِكَ وَزَيْتُونِكَ.

12 "Six days you shall do your work, and on the seventh day you shall rest, that your ox and your donkey may have rest, and the son of your handmaid, and the alien may be refreshed.

١٢ سِتَّةَ أَيَّامٍ تَعْمَلُ عَمَلَكَ. وَأَمَّا ٱلْيَوْمُ ٱلسَّابِعُ فَفِيهِ تَسْتَرِيحُ، لِكَيْ يَسْتَرِيحَ ثَوْرُكَ وَحِمَارُكَ، وَيَتَنَفَّسَ ٱبْنُ أَمَتِكَ وَٱلْغَرِيبُ.

13 "Be careful to do all things that I have said to you; and do not invoke the name of other gods, neither let them be heard out of your mouth.

١٣ وَكُلُّ مَا قُلْتُ لَكُمُ ٱحْتَفِظُوا بِهِ، وَلَا تَذْكُرُوا ٱسْمَ آلِهَةٍ أُخْرَى، وَلَا يُسْمَعْ مِنْ فَمِكَ.

14 "You shall observe a feast to me three times a year.

١٤ «ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ تُعَيِّدُ لِي فِي ٱلسَّنَةِ.

15 You shall observe the feast of unleavened bread. Seven days you shall eat unleavened bread, as I commanded you, at the time appointed in the month Abib (for in it you came out from Egypt), and no one shall appear before me empty.

١٥ تَحْفَظُ عِيدَ ٱلْفَطِيرِ. تَأْكُلُ فَطِيرًا سَبْعَةَ أَيَّامٍ كَمَا أَمَرْتُكَ فِي وَقْتِ شَهْرِ أَبِيبَ، لِأَنَّهُ فِيهِ خَرَجْتَ مِنْ مِصْرَ. وَلَا يَظْهَرُوا أَمَامِي فَارِغِينَ.

16 And the feast of harvest, the first fruits of your labors, which you sow in the field: and the feast of harvest, at the end of the year, when you gather in your labors out of the field.

١٦ وَعِيدَ ٱلْحَصَادِ أَبْكَارِ غَلَّاتِكَ ٱلَّتِي تَزْرَعُ فِي ٱلْحَقْلِ. وَعِيدَ ٱلْجَمْعِ فِي نِهَايَةِ ٱلسَّنَةِ عِنْدَمَا تَجْمَعُ غَلَّاتِكَ مِنَ ٱلْحَقْلِ.

17 Three times in the year all your males shall appear before Lord Jehovah.

١٧ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ فِي ٱلسَّنَةِ يَظْهَرُ جَمِيعُ ذُكُورِكَ أَمَامَ ٱلسَّيِّدِ ٱلرَّبِّ.

18 "You shall not offer the blood of my sacrifice with leavened bread, neither shall the fat of my feast remain all night until the morning.

١٨ لَا تَذْبَحْ عَلَى خَمِيرٍ دَمَ ذَبِيحَتِي، وَلَا يَبِتْ شَحْمُ عِيدِي إِلَى ٱلْغَدِ.

19 The first of the first fruits of your ground you shall bring into the house of Jehovah your God. "You shall not boil a kid in its mother's milk.

١٩ أَوَّلَ أَبْكَارِ أَرْضِكَ تُحْضِرُهُ إِلَى بَيْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِكَ. لَا تَطْبُخْ جَدْيًا بِلَبَنِ أُمِّهِ.

20 "Look, I send an angel before you, to keep you by the way, and to bring you into the place which I have prepared.

٢٠ «هَا أَنَا مُرْسِلٌ مَلَاكًا أَمَامَ وَجْهِكَ لِيَحْفَظَكَ فِي ٱلطَّرِيقِ، وَلِيَجِيءَ بِكَ إِلَى ٱلْمَكَانِ ٱلَّذِي أَعْدَدْتُهُ.

21 Pay attention to him, and listen to his voice. Do not provoke him, for he will not pardon your disobedience, for my name is in him.

٢١ اِحْتَرِزْ مِنْهُ وَٱسْمَعْ لِصَوْتِهِ وَلَا تَتَمَرَّدْ عَلَيْهِ، لِأَنَّهُ لَا يَصْفَحُ عَنْ ذُنُوبِكُمْ، لِأَنَّ ٱسْمِي فِيهِ.

22 But if you indeed listen to his voice, and do all that I speak, then I will be an enemy to your enemies, and an adversary to your adversaries.

٢٢ وَلَكِنْ إِنْ سَمِعْتَ لِصَوْتِهِ وَفَعَلْتَ كُلَّ مَا أَتَكَلَّمُ بِهِ، أُعَادِي أَعْدَاءَكَ، وَأُضَايِقُ مُضَايِقِيكَ.

23 For my angel shall go before you, and bring you in to the Amorite, and the Hethite, and the Perizzite, and the Canaanite, and the Girgashite, and the Hivite, and the Jebusite; and I will cut them off.

٢٣ فَإِنَّ مَلَاكِي يَسِيرُ أَمَامَكَ وَيَجِيءُ بِكَ إِلَى ٱلْأَمُورِيِّينَ وَٱلْحِثِّيِّينَ وَٱلْفِرِزِّيِّينَ وَٱلْكَنْعَانِيِّينَ وَٱلْحِوِّيِّينَ وَٱلْيَبُوسِيِّينَ، فَأُبِيدُهُمْ.

24 You shall not bow down to their gods, nor serve them, nor follow their practices, but you shall utterly overthrow them and demolish their pillars.

٢٤ لَا تَسْجُدْ لِآلِهَتِهِمْ، وَلَا تَعْبُدْهَا، وَلَا تَعْمَلْ كَأَعْمَالِهِمْ، بَلْ تُبِيدُهُمْ وَتَكْسِرُ أَنْصَابَهُمْ.

25 You shall serve Jehovah your God, and I will bless your bread and your water, and I will take sickness away from your midst.

٢٥ وَتَعْبُدُونَ ٱلرَّبَّ إِلَهَكُمْ، فَيُبَارِكُ خُبْزَكَ وَمَاءَكَ، وَأُزِيلُ ٱلْمَرَضَ مِنْ بَيْنِكُمْ.

26 No one will miscarry or be barren in your land. I will fulfill the number of your days.

٢٦ لَا تَكُونُ مُسْقِطَةٌ وَلَا عَاقِرٌ فِي أَرْضِكَ، وَأُكَمِّلُ عَدَدَ أَيَّامِكَ.

27 I will send my terror before you, and will confuse all the people to whom you come, and I will make all your enemies turn their backs to you.

٢٧ أُرْسِلُ هَيْبَتِي أَمَامَكَ، وَأُزْعِجُ جَمِيعَ ٱلشُّعُوبِ ٱلَّذِينَ تَأْتِي عَلَيْهِمْ، وَأُعْطِيكَ جَمِيعَ أَعْدَائِكَ مُدْبِرِينَ.

28 I will send the hornet before you, which will drive out the Hivite, the Canaanite, and the Hethite, from before you.

٢٨ وَأُرْسِلُ أَمَامَكَ ٱلزَّنَابِيرَ. فَتَطْرُدُ ٱلْحِوِّيِّينَ وَٱلْكَنْعَانِيِّينَ وَٱلْحِثِّيِّينَ مِنْ أَمَامِكَ.

29 I will not drive them out from before you in one year, lest the land become desolate, and the animals of the field multiply against you.

٢٩ لَا أَطْرُدُهُمْ مِنْ أَمَامِكَ فِي سَنَةٍ وَاحِدَةٍ، لِئَلَّا تَصِيرَ ٱلْأَرْضُ خَرِبَةً، فَتَكْثُرَ عَلَيْكَ وُحُوشُ ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ.

30 Little by little I will drive them out from before you, until you have increased and inherit the land.

٣٠ قَلِيلًا قَلِيلًا أَطْرُدُهُمْ مِنْ أَمَامِكَ إِلَى أَنْ تُثْمِرَ وَتَمْلِكَ ٱلْأَرْضَ.

31 I will set your border from the Red Sea even to the sea of the Philistines, and from the wilderness to the River; for I will deliver the inhabitants of the land into your hand, and you shall drive them out before you.

٣١ وَأَجْعَلُ تُخُومَكَ مِنْ بَحْرِ سُوفٍ إِلَى بَحْرِ فِلِسْطِينَ، وَمِنَ ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ إِلَى ٱلنَّهْرِ. فَإِنِّي أَدْفَعُ إِلَى أَيْدِيكُمْ سُكَّانَ ٱلْأَرْضِ، فَتَطْرُدُهُمْ مِنْ أَمَامِكَ.

32 You shall make no covenant with them, nor with their gods.

٣٢ لَا تَقْطَعْ مَعَهُمْ وَلَا مَعَ آلِهَتِهِمْ عَهْدًا.

33 They shall not dwell in your land, lest they make you sin against me, for if you serve their gods, it will surely be a snare to you."

٣٣ لَا يَسْكُنُوا فِي أَرْضِكَ لِئَلَّا يَجْعَلُوكَ تُخْطِئُ إِلَيَّ. إِذَا عَبَدْتَ آلِهَتَهُمْ فَإِنَّهُ يَكُونُ لَكَ فَخًّا».
