Exodus 23
1 “Do not tell to others (false rumors/untrue reports) about other people. Do not help someone who is guilty by (testifying falsely/lying) [about what happened].
| «خبر باطل را انتشار مده، و با شریران همداستان مشو، که شهادت دروغ دهی. | ۱ |
2 Do not join a group of people who are planning to do something evil. Do not testify the way the [crowd wants you to], if that will prevent [the judge from deciding the case] justly/fairly.
| پیروی بسیاری برای عمل بد مکن؛ و درمرافعه، محض متابعت کثیری، سخنی برای انحراف حق مگو. | ۲ |
3 When a poor person is on trial, do not [testify in] his favor [just] because he is poor [and you feel sorry for him].
| و در مرافعه فقیر نیزطرفداری او منما. | ۳ |
4 If you see someone’s bull or donkey when it is wandering away [loose], take it back to [its owner, even if the owner] is your enemy.
| اگر گاو یا الاغ دشمن خود رایافتی که گم شده باشد، البته آن را نزد او بازبیاور. | ۴ |
5 If you see someone’s donkey that has fallen down [because of its heavy load], help the owner to get the donkey up again, [even if] he is someone who hates you. Do not just walk away [without helping him].
| اگر الاغ دشمن خود را زیر بارش خوابیده یافتی، و از گشادن او روگردان هستی، البته آن را همراه او باید بگشایی. | ۵ |
6 Decide the cases of poor people who are on trial [as] fairly [as you decide the cases of other people].
| حق فقیرخود را در دعوی او منحرف مساز. | ۶ |
7 Do not accuse people falsely. Do not decide that innocent and righteous [DOU] people should be executed, because I will (punish/not forgive) people who do such an evil thing.
| از امردروغ اجتناب نما و بی‌گناه و صالح را به قتل مرسان زیرا که ظالم را عادل نخواهم شمرد. | ۷ |
8 Do not accept money that is a bribe, because officials who accept bribes are not able to [MTY] decide what is right to do, and they do not allow innocent people to be treated fairly.
| ورشوت مخور زیرا که رشوت بینایان را کورمی کند و سخن صدیقان را کج می‌سازد. | ۸ |
9 Do not mistreat foreigners [who live among you]. You know [how people often treat] foreigners, because the Egyptians [did not treat you well when] you were foreigners there.
| و برشخص غریب ظلم منما زیرا که از دل غریبان خبر دارید، چونکه در زمین مصر غریب بودید. | ۹ |
10 Plant [seeds] in your ground and gather the harvest for six years.
| «و شش سال مزرعه خود را بکار ومحصولش را جمع کن، | ۱۰ |
11 But during the seventh year you must not plant anything. [If things grow without your planting seeds], allow poor people [to harvest and] eat the crops. If there are still crops (left over/that they do not harvest), allow wild animals to eat them. Do the same thing with your grapevines/vineyards and your olive trees.
| لیکن در هفتمین آن رابگذار و ترک کن تا فقیران قوم تو از آن بخورند و آنچه از ایشان باقی ماند حیوانات صحرا بخورند. همچنین با تاکستان و درختان زیتون خود عمل نما. | ۱۱ |
12 [You may] work for six days [each week], but on the seventh day you must rest [and not work]. And on the seventh day you must allow your work animals and your slaves and the foreigners [who live among you] also [to rest and] be refreshed.
| شش روز به شغل خود بپرداز و در روزهفتمین آرام کن تا گاوت و الاغت آرام گیرند وپسر کنیزت و مهمانت استراحت کنند. | ۱۲ |
13 Make certain that you obey everything that I have commanded [you to do]. Do not pray to [MTY] other gods. Do not even mention their names.”
| و آنچه را به شما گفته‌ام، نگاه دارید و نام خدایان غیر راذکر مکنید، از زبانت شنیده نشود. | ۱۳ |
14 “Every year you must celebrate three festivals to [honor] me.
| «در هر سال سه مرتبه عید برای من نگاه دار. | ۱۴ |
15 [The first one] is the Festival of Bread That Has No Yeast. Celebrate it in the month [that is named] Abib. That is the month in which you left Egypt. Celebrate it in the way that I commanded you. And always bring [LIT] an offering when you come to worship me.
| عید فطیر را نگاه دار، و چنانکه تو را امرفرموده‌ام، هفت روز نان فطیر بخور در زمان معین در ماه ابیب، زیرا که در آن از مصر بیرون آمدی. وهیچ‌کس به حضور من تهی‌دست حاضر نشود. | ۱۵ |
16 The second one is the Festival of Harvesting. During that festival you must offer to me the first parts/harvest of your crops that grow from the seeds that you planted. The third one is the Festival of Living in Temporary Shelters. That will be after you finish harvesting your grain and grapes and fruit.
| و عید حصاد نوبر غلات خود را که در مزرعه کاشته‌ای، و عید جمع را در آخر سال وقتی که حاصل خود را از صحرا جمع کرده‌ای. | ۱۶ |
17 Every year, at each of these times, all the men must gather together to worship me, Yahweh God.
| در هرسال سه مرتبه همه ذکورانت به حضور خداوندیهوه حاضر شوند. | ۱۷ |
18 When you sacrifice an animal [and offer it] to me, you must not offer bread that has been baked with yeast. [When you] offer sacrifices, [burn] the fat [from the animals on that same day]. Do not allow any fat to remain until the next morning.
| خون قربانی مرا با نان خمیرمایه دار مگذران و پیه عید من تا صبح باقی نماند. | ۱۸ |
19 Each year, when you harvest your crops, bring to the place where you worship me, Yahweh God, the first part of what you harvest. When you kill a (young animal/kid [or lamb or calf)], do not [prepare to eat it by] boiling it in its mother’s milk.”
| نوبر نخستین زمین خود را به خانه یهوه خدای خود بیاور و بزغاله را در شیر مادرش مپز. | ۱۹ |
20 “Note this: I am going to send an angel ahead of you, to guard you as you travel and to bring you safely to the place that I have prepared [for you]. Pay attention to what he says and obey him. Do not rebel against him, because he will have my authority [MTY] and he will (punish/not forgive) [LIT] you if you rebel against him.
| «اینک من فرشته‌ای پیش روی تومی فرستم تا تو را در راه محافظت نموده، بدان مکانی که مهیا کرده‌ام برساند. | ۲۰ |
| از او با حذر باش و آواز او را بشنو و از او تمرد منما زیرا گناهان شما را نخواهد آمرزید، چونکه نام من در اوست. | ۲۱ |
22 But if you pay attention to what he says and if you do all that I tell you [to do], I will fight strongly [DOU] against all of your enemies.
| و اگر قول او را شنیدی و به آنچه گفته‌ام عمل نمودی، هرآینه دشمن دشمنانت و مخالف مخالفانت خواهم بود، | ۲۲ |
23 My angel will go ahead of you, and will take you to where the Amor and Heth and Periz and Canaan and Hiv and Jebus people-groups live, and I will completely get rid of them.
| زیرا فرشته من پیش روی تو می‌رود و تو را به اموریان و حتیان وفرزیان و کنعانیان و حویان و یبوسیان خواهدرسانید و ایشان را هلاک خواهم ساخت. | ۲۳ |
24 Do not bow down before their gods/idols or worship them. And do not do the things [that they think that their gods want] them to do. Completely destroy their gods/idols, and smash to pieces their sacred stones.
| خدایان ایشان را سجده منما و آنها را عبادت مکن و موافق کارهای ایشان مکن، البته آنها رامنهدم ساز و بتهای ایشان را بشکن. | ۲۴ |
25 You must worship me, Yahweh God. [If you do that], I will bless your (OR, bless [you by giving you]) food and water, and I will protect you from becoming sick.
| و یهوه، خدای خود را عبادت نمایید تا نان و آب تو رابرکت دهد و بیماری را از میان تو دور خواهم کرد، | ۲۵ |
26 No women in your land will have (miscarriages/babies that will die after being born prematurely), and no women will be unable to become pregnant. And I will enable you to live a long time.
| و در زمینت سقط کننده و نازاد نخواهدبود و شماره روزهایت را تمام خواهم کرد. | ۲۶ |
27 I will cause the people who oppose you to become very afraid of me. I will cause the people whom you fight against to become very confused. And then I will cause them to turn around and run away from you.
| وخوف خود را پیش روی تو خواهم فرستاد و هرقومی را که بدیشان برسی متحیر خواهم ساخت و جمیع دشمنانت را پیش تو روگردان خواهم ساخت. | ۲۷ |
28 I will cause your enemies to become terrified. And I will expel the Hiv, Canaan, and Heth people-groups from your land.
| و زنبورها پیش روی تو خواهم فرستاد تا حویان و کنعانیان و حتیان را ازحضورت برانند. | ۲۸ |
29 I will not expel [all of] them in less than one year. If I did that, your land would become deserted, and there would be very many wild animals ([that would attack you/you would not be able to control]).
| ایشان را در یک سال ازحضور تو نخواهم راند، مبادا زمین ویران گردد وحیوانات صحرا بر تو زیاده شوند. | ۲۹ |
30 I will expel those people-groups slowly, a few at a time, until the number of your people increases and you are able to live everywhere in the land.
| ایشان را ازپیش روی تو به تدریج خواهم راند تا کثیر شوی و زمین را متصرف گردی. | ۳۰ |
31 I will cause the borders of your land to extend from the (Red Sea/Gulf of Aqaba) [in the southeast] to the Mediterranean Sea [in the northwest], and from the [Sinai] Desert [in the southwest] to the [Euphrates] River [in the northeast of the country]. I will enable you [MTY] to expel the people who live there, so that you will expel them as you occupy more of the country.
| و حدود تو را از بحرقلزم تا بحر فلسطین، و از صحرا تا نهر فرات قراردهم زیرا ساکنان آن زمین را بدست شما خواهم سپرد و ایشان را از پیش روی خود خواهی راند. | ۳۱ |
32 You must not make any agreement/treaty with those people or with their gods.
| با ایشان و با خدایان ایشان عهد مبند. | ۳۲ |
33 Do not allow [those people] to live in your land, in order that they do not cause you to sin against me. If you worship their gods, [you will not be able to escape from worshiping them and sinning against me, just like someone caught] in a trap [is unable to escape] [MET].”
| درزمین تو ساکن نشوند، مبادا تو را بر من عاصی گردانند و خدایان ایشان را عبادت کنی و دامی برای تو باشد.» | ۳۳ |
