< Deuteronomy 16 >

1 Observe the month Abib, and keep the passover to the LORD thy God: for in the month of Abib the LORD thy God brought thee forth from Egypt by night.
احْتَفِلُوا دَائِماً بِفِصْحِ الرَّبِّ إِلَهِكُمْ فِي شَهْرِ أَبِيبَ (أَيْ شَهْرِ نِيسَانَ – أَبْرِيلَ)، فَفِي هَذَا الشَّهْرِ أَخْرَجَكُمُ الرَّبُّ إِلَهُكُمْ مِنْ مِصْرَ لَيْلاً.١
2 Thou shalt therefore sacrifice the passover to the LORD thy God, of the flock and the herd, in the place which the LORD shall choose to place his name there.
وَاذْبَحُوا لِلرَّبِّ إِلَهِكُمْ غَنَماً أَوْ بَقَراً فِي الْمَوْضِعِ الَّذِي يَخْتَارُهُ الرَّبُّ لِيُحِلَّ اسْمَهُ فِيهِ.٢
3 Thou shalt eat no leavened bread with it; seven days shalt thou eat unleavened bread with it, [even] the bread of affliction; for thou camest forth from the land of Egypt in haste: that thou mayest remember the day when thou camest forth from the land of Egypt, all the days of thy life.
لَا تَأْكُلُوهُ مَعَ خُبْزٍ مُخْتَمِرٍ، بَلْ كُلُوهُ مَعَ فَطِيرٍ طَوَالَ سَبْعَةِ أَيَّامٍ، لأَنَّ هَذَا هُوَ خُبْزُ الْمَشَقَّةِ، إِذْ إِنَّكُمْ عَلَى عَجَلٍ غَادَرْتُمْ دِيَارَ مِصْرَ، وَبِذَلِكَ تَتَذَكَّرُونَ يَوْمَ خُرُوجِكُمْ مِنْ دِيَارِ مِصْرَ كُلَّ أَيَّامِ حَيَاتِكُمْ.٣
4 And there shall be no leavened bread seen with thee in all thy borders seven days; neither shall there [any thing] of the flesh, which thou didst sacrifice the first day at evening, remain all night until the morning.
لَا تُبْقُوا خَمِيراً فِي أَرْضِكُمْ طَوَالَ سَبْعَةِ أَيَّامٍ، وَلا يَبِتْ شَيْءٌ مِنْ لَحْمِ حَمَلِ الْفِصْحِ الْمَذْبُوحِ فِي مَسَاءِ الْيَوْمِ الأَوَّلِ إِلَى الْغَدِ.٤
5 Thou mayest not sacrifice the passover within any of thy gates, which the LORD thy God giveth thee.
يُحْظَرُ عَلَيْكُمْ ذَبْحُ الْفِصْحِ فِي أَيٍّ مِنْ مُدُنِكُمُ الَّتِي يُوَرِّثُهَا لَكُمُ الرَّبُّ إِلَهُكُمْ،٥
6 But at the place which the LORD thy God shall choose to place his name in, there thou shalt sacrifice the passover at evening, at the setting of the sun, at the time of thy departure from Egypt.
بَلْ فِي الْمَكَانِ الَّذِي يَخْتَارُهُ الرَّبُّ إِلَهُكُمْ لِيُحِلَّ اسْمَهُ فِيهِ تَذْبَحُونَ الْفِصْحَ فِي الْمَسَاءِ، عِنْدَ غُرُوبِ الشَّمْسِ، فِي نَفْسِ مِيعَادِ خُرُوجِكُمْ مِنْ مِصْرَ.٦
7 And thou shalt roast and eat [it] in the place which the LORD thy God shall choose: and thou shalt turn in the morning, and go to thy tents.
فَتَشْوُونَهُ وَتَأْكُلُونَهُ فِي الْمَوْضِعِ الَّذِي يَخْتَارُهُ الرَّبُّ، ثُمَّ تَنْصَرِفُونَ فِي الْغَدِ كُلٌّ إِلَى خَيْمَتِهِ.٧
8 Six days thou shalt eat unleavened bread: and on the seventh day [shall be] a solemn assembly to the LORD thy God: [in it] thou shalt do no work.
سِتَّةَ أَيَّامٍ تَأْكُلُونَ فَطِيراً، وَفِي الْيَوْمِ السَّابِعِ تَتَوَقَّفُونَ عَنْ كُلِّ عَمَلٍ، وَتَحْتَفِلُونَ مُعْتَكِفِينَ لِلرَّبِّ.٨
9 Seven weeks shalt thou number to thee: begin to number the seven weeks from [the time when] thou beginnest [to put] the sickle to the corn.
احْسِبُوا سَبْعَةَ أَسَابِيعَ مُنْذُ ابْتِدَاءِ حَصَادِ الزَّرْعِ،٩
10 And thou shalt keep the feast of weeks to the LORD thy God with a tribute of a free-will-offering of thy hand, which thou shalt give [to the LORD thy God], according as the LORD thy God hath blessed thee:
ثُمَّ احْتَفِلُوا بِعِيدِ الأَسَابِيعِ لِلرَّبِّ إِلَهِكُمْ، حَيْثُ تُحْضِرُونَ مَا تَسْخُو بِهِ نُفُوسُكُمْ حَسَبَ مَا يُبَارِكُكُمُ الرَّبُّ بِهِ،١٠
11 And thou shalt rejoice before the LORD thy God, thou, and thy son, and thy daughter, and thy man-servant, and thy maid-servant, and the Levite that [is] within thy gates, and the stranger, and the fatherless, and the widow, that [are] among you, in the place which the LORD thy God hath chosen to place his name there.
فَتَحْتَفِلُونَ أَنْتُمْ وَأَبْنَاؤُكُمْ وَبَنَاتُكُمْ وَعَبِيدُكُمْ وَإِمَاؤُكُمْ، وَاللّاوِيُّونَ الْمُقِيمُونَ فِي مُدُنِكُمْ، وَالْغَرِيبُ وَالْيَتِيمُ وَالأَرْمَلَةُ الَّذِينَ بَيْنَكُمْ، لَدَى الرَّبِّ فِي الْمَوْضِعِ الَّذِي يَخْتَارُهُ لِيُحِلَّ اسْمَهُ فِيهِ.١١
12 And thou shalt remember that thou wast a bond-man in Egypt: and thou shalt observe and do these statutes.
وَتَذَكَّرُوا أَنَّكُمْ كُنْتُمْ عَبِيداً فِي مِصْرَ، فَأَطِيعُوا هَذِهِ الْفَرَائِضَ وَاعْمَلُوا بِها.١٢
13 Thou shalt observe the feast of tabernacles seven days, after that thou hast gathered in thy corn, and thy wine.
وَاحْتَفِلُوا بِعِيدِ الْخِيَامِ فِي نِهَايَةِ مَوْسِمِ الْحَصَادِ، عِنْدَ جَمْعِ غَلّاتِ بَيَادِرِكُمْ وَمَعَاصِرِكُمْ،١٣
14 And thou shalt rejoice in thy feast, thou, and thy son, and thy daughter, and thy man-servant, and thy maid-servant, and the Levite, the stranger, and the fatherless, and the widow, that [are] within thy gates:
فَتَحْتَفِلُونَ بِالْعِيدِ أَنْتُمْ وَأَبْنَاؤُكُمْ وَبَنَاتُكُمْ وَإِمَاؤُكُمْ وَاللّاوِيُّونَ وَالْغَرِيبُ وَالْيَتِيمُ وَالأَرْمَلَةُ الْمُقِيمُونَ فِي مُدُنِكُمْ،١٤
15 Seven days shalt thou keep a solemn feast to the LORD thy God in the place which the LORD shall choose: because the LORD thy God shall bless thee in all thy increase, and in all the works of thy hands, therefore thou shalt surely rejoice.
فَتُعَيِّدُونَ لِلرَّبِّ سَبْعَةَ أَيَّامٍ فِي الْمَوْضِعِ الَّذِي يَخْتَارُهُ الرَّبُّ، لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ إِلَهَكُمْ يُبَارِكُ لَكُمْ مَحَاصِيلَكُمْ وَكُلَّ مَا تُنْتِجُهُ أَيْدِيكُمْ، فَيَكْمُلُ بِذَلِكَ فَرَحُكُمْ.١٥
16 Three times in a year shall all thy males appear before the LORD thy God in the place which he shall choose; in the feast of unleavened bread, and in the feast of weeks, and in the feast of tabernacles: and they shall not appear before the LORD empty:
وَيَحْضُرُ جَمِيعُ ذُكُورِكُمْ ثَلاثَ مَرَّاتٍ لِلْمُثُولِ أَمَامَ الرَّبِّ إِلَهِكُمْ فِي الْمَوْضِعِ الَّذِي يَخْتَارُهُ الرَّبُّ، وَذَلِكَ فِي عِيدِ الْفَطِيرِ وَعِيدِ الأَسَابِيعِ وَعِيدِ الْمَظَالِّ. وَإِيَّاهُمْ أَنْ يَمْثُلُوا أَمَامَ الرَّبِّ مِنْ غَيْرِ تَقْدِمَاتٍ.١٦
17 Every man [shall give] as he is able, according to the blessing of the LORD thy God which he hath given thee.
فَيُقَدِّمُ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ مَا تَسْخُو بِهِ نَفْسُهُ حَسْبَمَا بَارَكَهُ الرَّبُّ إِلَهُهُ.١٧
18 Judges and officers shalt thou make thee in all thy gates, which the LORD thy God giveth thee, throughout thy tribes: and they shall judge the people with just judgment.
وَأَقِيمُوا لأَنْفُسِكُمْ قُضَاةً وَمُدَبِّرِينَ فِي جَمِيعِ الْمُدُنِ الَّتِي يُوَرِّثُكُمْ إِيَّاهَا الرَّبُّ إِلَهُكُمْ بِحَسَبِ أَسْبَاطِكُمْ فَيَقْضُوا بَيْنَ الشَّعْبِ بِالْعَدْلِ.١٨
19 Thou shalt not wrest judgment; thou shalt not respect persons, neither take a gift; for a gift doth blind the eyes of the wise, and pervert the words of the righteous.
لَا تُعَوِّجُوا الْقَضَاءَ وَلا تُحَابُوا، وَلا تَقْبَلُوا رِشْوَةً، لأَنَّ الرِّشْوَةَ تُعْمِي أَبْصَارَ الْحُكَمَاءِ، وَتُعَوِّجُ أَقْوَالَ الصِّدِّيقِينَ.١٩
20 That which is altogether just shalt thou follow, that thou mayest live, and inherit the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee.
الْعَدْلَ وَالْعَدْلَ وَحْدَهُ أَجْرُوا، لِتَحْيَوْا وَتَمْتَلِكُوا الأَرْضَ الَّتِي يَهَبُهَا الرَّبُّ إِلَهُكُمْ لَكُمْ.٢٠
21 Thou shalt not plant thee a grove of any trees near to the altar of the LORD thy God, which thou shalt make for thee.
لَا تَنْصِبُوا لأَنْفُسِكُمْ سَوَارِيَ مِنْ شَجَرٍ مَا إِلَى جِوَارِ مَذْبَحِ الرَّبِّ إِلَهِكُمُ الَّذِي تَبْنُونَهُ لَكُمْ،٢١
22 Neither shalt thou set thee up [any] image; which the LORD thy God hateth.
وَلا تُقِيمُوا لَكُمْ أَنْصَاباً مِنْ حِجَارَةٍ لأَنَّ هَذِهِ مَكْرُوهَةٌ لَدَى الرَّبِّ.٢٢
