Leviticus 20

1 YHWH spoke to Moses, saying,

١ وَكَلَّمَ ٱلرَّبُّ مُوسَى قَائِلًا:

2 "Moreover, you shall tell the children of Israel, 'Anyone of the children of Israel, or of the foreigners who sojourn in Israel, who gives any of his offspring to Molech; he shall surely be put to death. The people of the land shall stone him with stones.

٢ «وَتَقُولُ لِبَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ: كُلُّ إِنْسَانٍ مِنْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ وَمِنَ ٱلْغُرَبَاءِ ٱلنَّازِلِينَ فِي إِسْرَائِيلَ أَعْطَى مِنْ زَرْعِهِ لِمُولَكَ فَإِنَّهُ يُقْتَلُ. يَرْجُمُهُ شَعْبُ ٱلْأَرْضِ بِٱلْحِجَارَةِ.

3 I also will set my face against that person, and will cut him off from among his people because he has given of his offspring to Molech, to defile my sanctuary, and to profane my holy name.

٣ وَأَجْعَلُ أَنَا وَجْهِي ضِدَّ ذَلِكَ ٱلْإِنْسَانِ، وَأَقْطَعُهُ مِنْ شَعْبِهِ، لِأَنَّهُ أَعْطَى مِنْ زَرْعِهِ لِمُولَكَ لِكَيْ يُنَجِّسَ مَقْدِسِي، وَيُدَنِّسَ ٱسْمِيَ ٱلْقُدُّوسَ.

4 If the people of the land all hide their eyes from that person, when he gives of his offspring to Molech, and do not put him to death;

٤ وَإِنْ غَمَّضَ شَعْبُ ٱلْأَرْضِ أَعْيُنَهُمْ عَنْ ذَلِكَ ٱلْإِنْسَانِ عِنْدَمَا يُعْطِي مِنْ زَرْعِهِ لِمُولَكَ، فَلَمْ يَقْتُلُوهُ،

5 then I will set my face against that man, and against his family, and will cut him off, and all who play the prostitute after him, to play the prostitute with Molech, from among their people.

٥ فَإِنِّي أَضَعُ وَجْهِي ضِدَّ ذَلِكَ ٱلْإِنْسَانِ، وَضِدَّ عَشِيرَتِهِ، وَأَقْطَعُهُ وَجَمِيعَ ٱلْفَاجِرِينَ وَرَاءَهُ، بِٱلزِّنَى وَرَاءَ مُولَكَ مِنْ شَعْبِهِمْ.

6 "'The person that turns to spirits of the dead, and to familiar spirits, to prostitute himself with them, I will even set my face against that person, and will cut him off from among his people.

٦ وَٱلنَّفْسُ ٱلَّتِي تَلْتَفِتُ إِلَى ٱلْجَانِّ، وَإِلَى ٱلتَّوَابِعِ لِتَزْنِيَ وَرَاءَهُمْ، أَجْعَلُ وَجْهِي ضِدَّ تِلْكَ ٱلنَّفْسِ وَأَقْطَعُهَا مِنْ شَعْبِهَا.

7 "'Sanctify yourselves therefore, and be holy; for I am YHWH your God.

٧ فَتَتَقَدَّسُونَ وَتَكُونُونَ قِدِّيسِينَ، لِأَنِّي أَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكُمْ.

8 You shall keep my statutes, and do them. I am YHWH who sanctifies you.

٨ وَتَحْفَظُونَ فَرَائِضِي وَتَعْمَلُونَهَا. أَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ مُقَدِّسُكُمْ.

9 "'For everyone who curses his father or his mother shall surely be put to death: he has cursed his father or his mother; his blood shall be upon him.

٩ «كُلُّ إِنْسَانٍ سَبَّ أَبَاهُ أَوْ أُمَّهُ فَإِنَّهُ يُقْتَلُ. قَدْ سَبَّ أَبَاهُ أَوْ أُمَّهُ. دَمُهُ عَلَيْهِ.

10 "'The man who commits adultery with another man's wife shall surely be put to death, both the adulterer and the adulteress.

١٠ وَإِذَا زَنَى رَجُلٌ مَعَ ٱمْرَأَةٍ، فَإِذَا زَنَى مَعَ ٱمْرَأَةِ قَرِيبِهِ، فَإِنَّهُ يُقْتَلُ ٱلزَّانِي وَٱلزَّانِيَةُ.

11 The man who lies with his father's wife has uncovered his father's nakedness: both of them shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.

١١ وَإِذَا ٱضْطَجَعَ رَجُلٌ مَعَ ٱمْرَأَةِ أَبِيهِ، فَقَدْ كَشَفَ عَوْرَةَ أَبِيهِ. إِنَّهُمَا يُقْتَلَانِ كِلَاهُمَا. دَمُهُمَا عَلَيْهِمَا.

12 "'If a man lies with his daughter-in-law, both of them shall surely be put to death: they have committed a perversion; their blood shall be upon them.

١٢ وَإِذَا ٱضْطَجَعَ رَجُلٌ مَعَ كَنَّتِهِ، فَإِنَّهُمَا يُقْتَلَانِ كِلَاهُمَا. قَدْ فَعَلَا فَاحِشَةً. دَمُهُمَا عَلَيْهِمَا.

13 "'If a man has sexual relations with a male, as with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.

١٣ وَإِذَا ٱضْطَجَعَ رَجُلٌ مَعَ ذَكَرٍ ٱضْطِجَاعَ ٱمْرَأَةٍ، فَقَدْ فَعَلَا كِلَاهُمَا رِجْسًا. إِنَّهُمَا يُقْتَلَانِ. دَمُهُمَا عَلَيْهِمَا.

14 "'If a man takes a wife and her mother, it is wickedness: they shall be burned with fire, both he and they; that there may be no wickedness among you.

١٤ وَإِذَا ٱتَّخَذَ رَجُلٌ ٱمْرَأَةً وَأُمَّهَا فَذَلِكَ رَذِيلَةٌ. بِٱلنَّارِ يُحْرِقُونَهُ وَإِيَّاهُمَا، لِكَيْ لَا يَكُونَ رَذِيلَةٌ بَيْنَكُمْ.

15 "'If a man lies with an animal, he shall surely be put to death; and you shall kill the animal.

١٥ وَإِذَا جَعَلَ رَجُلٌ مَضْجَعَهُ مَعَ بَهِيمَةٍ، فَإِنَّهُ يُقْتَلُ، وَٱلْبَهِيمَةُ تُمِيتُونَهَا.

16 "'If a woman approaches any animal, and lies down with it, you shall kill the woman, and the animal: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.

١٦ وَإِذَا ٱقْتَرَبَتِ ٱمْرَأَةٌ إِلَى بَهِيمَةٍ لِنِزَائِهَا، تُمِيتُ ٱلْمَرْأَةَ وَٱلْبَهِيمَةَ. إِنَّهُمَا يُقْتَلَانِ. دَمُهُمَا عَلَيْهِمَا.

17 "'If a man takes his sister, his father's daughter, or his mother's daughter, and sees her nakedness, and she sees his nakedness; it is a shameful thing; and they shall be cut off in the sight of the children of their people: he has uncovered his sister's nakedness; he shall bear his iniquity.

١٧ وَإِذَا أَخَذَ رَجُلٌ أُخْتَهُ بِنْتَ أَبِيهِ أَوْ بِنْتَ أُمِّهِ، وَرَأَى عَوْرَتَهَا وَرَأَتْ هِيَ عَوْرَتَهُ، فَذَلِكَ عَارٌ. يُقْطَعَانِ أَمَامَ أَعْيُنِ بَنِي شَعْبِهِمَا. قَدْ كَشَفَ عَوْرَةَ أُخْتِهِ. يَحْمِلُ ذَنْبَهُ.

18 "'If a man lies with a woman having her monthly period, and uncovers her nakedness; he has made naked her fountain, and she has uncovered the fountain of her blood: and both of them shall be cut off from among their people.

١٨ وَإِذَا ٱضْطَجَعَ رَجُلٌ مَعَ ٱمْرَأَةٍ طَامِثٍ وَكَشَفَ عَوْرَتَهَا، عَرَّى يَنْبُوعَهَا وَكَشَفَتْ هِيَ يَنْبُوعَ دَمِهَا، يُقْطَعَانِ كِلَاهُمَا مِنْ شَعِبْهِمَا.

19 "'You shall not uncover the nakedness of your mother's sister, nor of your father's sister; for he has made naked his close relative: they shall bear their iniquity.

١٩ عَوْرَةَ أُخْتِ أُمِّكَ، أَوْ أُخْتِ أَبِيكَ لَا تَكْشِفْ. إِنَّهُ قَدْ عَرَّى قَرِيبَتَهُ. يَحْمِلَانِ ذَنْبَهُمَا.

20 If a man lies with his uncle's wife, he has uncovered his uncle's nakedness: they shall bear their sin; they shall die childless.

٢٠ وَإِذَا ٱضْطَجَعَ رَجُلٌ مَعَ ٱمْرَأَةِ عَمِّهِ فَقَدْ كَشَفَ عَوْرَةَ عَمِّهِ. يَحْمِلَانِ ذَنْبَهُمَا. يَمُوتَانِ عَقِيمَيْنِ.

21 "'If a man takes his brother's wife, it is an impurity: he has uncovered his brother's nakedness; they shall be childless.

٢١ وَإِذَا أَخَذَ رَجُلٌ ٱمْرَأَةَ أَخِيهِ، فَذَلِكَ نَجَاسَةٌ. قَدْ كَشَفَ عَوْرَةَ أَخِيهِ. يَكُونَانِ عَقِيمَيْنِ.

22 "'You shall therefore keep all my statutes, and all my ordinances, and do them; that the land, where I am bringing you to dwell, may not vomit you out.

٢٢ «فَتَحْفَظُونَ جَمِيعَ فَرَائِضِي وَجَمِيعَ أَحْكَامِي، وَتَعْمَلُونَهَا لِكَيْ لَا تَقْذِفَكُمُ ٱلْأَرْضُ ٱلَّتِي أَنَا آتٍ بِكُمْ إِلَيْهَا لِتَسْكُنُوا فِيهَا.

23 You shall not walk in the customs of the nation, which I am casting out before you: for they did all these things, and therefore I abhorred them.

٢٣ وَلَا تَسْلُكُونَ فِي رُسُومِ ٱلشُّعُوبِ ٱلَّذِينَ أَنَا طَارِدُهُمْ مِنْ أَمَامِكُمْ. لِأَنَّهُمْ قَدْ فَعَلُوا كُلَّ هَذِهِ، فَكَرِهْتُهُمْ.

24 But I have said to you, "You shall inherit their land, and I will give it to you to possess it, a land flowing with milk and honey." I am YHWH your God, who has separated you from the peoples.

٢٤ وَقُلْتُ لَكُمْ: تَرِثُونَ أَنْتُمْ أَرْضَهُمْ، وَأَنَا أُعْطِيكُمْ إِيَّاهَا لِتَرِثُوهَا، أَرْضًا تَفِيضُ لَبَنًا وَعَسَلًا. أَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكُمُ ٱلَّذِي مَيَّزَكُمْ مِنَ ٱلشُّعُوبِ.

25 "'You shall therefore make a distinction between the clean animal and the unclean, and between the unclean fowl and the clean: and you shall not make yourselves abominable by animal, or by bird, or by anything with which the ground teems, which I have separated from you as unclean for you.

٢٥ فَتُمَيِّزُونَ بَيْنَ ٱلْبَهَائِمِ ٱلطَّاهِرَةِ وَٱلنَّجِسَةِ، وَبَيْنَ ٱلطُّيُورِ ٱلنَّجِسَةِ وَٱلطَّاهِرَةِ. فَلَا تُدَنِّسُوا نُفُوسَكُمْ بِٱلْبَهَائِمِ وَٱلطُّيُورِ، وَلَا بِكُلِّ مَا يَدِبُّ عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ مِمَّا مَيَّزْتُهُ لَكُمْ لِيَكُونَ نَجِسًا.

26 You shall be holy to me: for I, YHWH, am holy, and have set you apart from the peoples, that you should be mine.

٢٦ وَتَكُونُونَ لِي قِدِّيسِينَ لِأَنِّي قُدُّوسٌ أَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ، وَقَدْ مَيَّزْتُكُمْ مِنَ ٱلشُّعُوبِ لِتَكُونُوا لِي.

27 "'A man or a woman that is a medium, or is a wizard, shall surely be put to death: they shall stone them with stones; their blood shall be upon them.'"

٢٧ «وَإِذَا كَانَ فِي رَجُلٍ أَوِ ٱمْرَأَةٍ جَانٌّ أَوْ تَابِعَةٌ فَإِنَّهُ يُقْتَلُ. بِٱلْحِجَارَةِ يَرْجُمُونَهُ. دَمُهُ عَلَيْهِ».
