اَلتَّثْنِيَة 16

١ 1 «اِحْفَظْ شَهْرَ أَبِيبَ وَٱعْمَلْ فِصْحًا لِلرَّبِّ إِلَهِكَ، لِأَنَّهُ فِي شَهْرِ أَبِيبَ أَخْرَجَكَ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكَ مِنْ مِصْرَ لَيْلًا.

Observe the month of Abib, and keep the Passover to Jehovah thy God, for in the month of Abib Jehovah thy God brought thee forth out of Egypt by night.

٢ 2 فَتَذْبَحُ ٱلْفِصْحَ لِلرَّبِّ إِلَهِكَ غَنَمًا وَبَقَرًا فِي ٱلْمَكَانِ ٱلَّذِي يَخْتَارُهُ ٱلرَّبُّ لِيُحِلَّ ٱسْمَهُ فِيهِ.

And thou shall sacrifice the Passover to Jehovah thy God, of the flock and the herd, in the place which Jehovah shall choose to cause his name to dwell there.

٣ 3 لَا تَأْكُلْ عَلَيْهِ خَمِيرًا. سَبْعَةَ أَيَّامٍ تَأْكُلُ عَلَيْهِ فَطِيرًا، خُبْزَ ٱلْمَشَقَّةِ، لِأَنَّكَ بِعَجَلَةٍ خَرَجْتَ مِنْ أَرْضِ مِصْرَ، لِكَيْ تَذْكُرَ يَوْمَ خُرُوجِكَ مِنْ أَرْضِ مِصْرَ كُلَّ أَيَّامِ حَيَاتِكَ.

Thou shall eat no leavened bread with it. Seven days thou shall eat unleavened bread with it, even the bread of affliction, for thou came forth out of the land of Egypt in haste, that thou may remember the day when thou came forth out of the land of Egypt all the days of thy life.

٤ 4 وَلَا يُرَ عِنْدَكَ خَمِيرٌ فِي جَمِيعِ تُخُومِكَ سَبْعَةَ أَيَّامٍ، وَلَا يَبِتْ شَيْءٌ مِنَ ٱللَّحْمِ ٱلَّذِي تَذْبَحُ مَسَاءً فِي ٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلْأَوَّلِ إِلَى ٱلْغَدِ.

And there shall be no leaven seen with thee in all thy borders seven days. Neither shall any of the flesh, which thou sacrifice the first day at evening, remain all night until the morning.

٥ 5 لَا يَحِلُّ لَكَ أَنْ تَذْبَحَ ٱلْفِصْحَ فِي أَحَدِ أَبْوَابِكَ ٱلَّتِي يُعْطِيكَ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكَ،

Thou may not sacrifice the Passover within any of thy gates, which Jehovah thy God gives thee,

٦ 6 بَلْ فِي ٱلْمَكَانِ ٱلَّذِي يَخْتَارُهُ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكَ لِيُحِلَّ ٱسْمَهُ فِيهِ. هُنَاكَ تَذْبَحُ ٱلْفِصْحَ مَسَاءً نَحْوَ غُرُوبِ ٱلشَّمْسِ فِي مِيعَادِ خُرُوجِكَ مِنْ مِصْرَ،

but at the place which Jehovah thy God shall choose to cause his name to dwell in, there thou shall sacrifice the Passover at evening, at the going down of the sun, at the season that thou came forth out of Egypt.

٧ 7 وَتَطْبُخُ وَتَأْكُلُ فِي ٱلْمَكَانِ ٱلَّذِي يَخْتَارُهُ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكَ، ثُمَّ تَنْصَرِفُ فِي ٱلْغَدِ وَتَذْهَبُ إِلَى خِيَامِكَ.

And thou shall roast and eat it in the place which Jehovah thy God shall choose, and thou shall turn in the morning, and go to thy tents.

٨ 8 سِتَّةَ أَيَّامٍ تَأْكُلُ فَطِيرًا، وَفِي ٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلسَّابِعِ ٱعْتِكَافٌ لِلرَّبِّ إِلَهِكَ. لَا تَعْمَلْ فِيهِ عَمَلًا.

Six days thou shall eat unleavened bread, and on the seventh day shall be a solemn assembly to Jehovah thy God. Thou shall do no work.

٩ 9 «سَبْعَةَ أَسَابِيعَ تَحْسُبُ لَكَ. مِنِ ٱبْتِدَاءِ ٱلْمِنْجَلِ فِي ٱلزَّرْعِ، تَبْتَدِئُ أَنْ تَحْسُبَ سَبْعَةَ أَسَابِيعَ.

Thou shall number to thee seven weeks. From the time thou begin to put the sickle to the standing grain thou shall begin to number seven weeks.

١٠ 10 وَتَعْمَلُ عِيدَ أَسَابِيعَ لِلرَّبِّ إِلَهِكَ عَلَى قَدْرِ مَا تَسْمَحُ يَدُكَ أَنْ تُعْطِيَ، كَمَا يُبَارِكُكَ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكَ.

And thou shall keep the feast of weeks to Jehovah thy God with a tribute of a freewill offering from thy hand, which thou shall give, according as Jehovah thy God blesses thee.

١١ 11 وَتَفْرَحُ أَمَامَ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِكَ أَنْتَ وَٱبْنُكَ وَٱبْنَتُكَ وَعَبْدُكَ وَأَمَتُكَ وَٱللَّاوِيُّ ٱلَّذِي فِي أَبْوَابِكَ، وَٱلْغَرِيبُ وَٱلْيَتِيمُ وَٱلْأَرْمَلَةُ ٱلَّذِينَ فِي وَسَطِكَ فِي ٱلْمَكَانِ ٱلَّذِي يَخْتَارُهُ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكَ لِيُحِلَّ ٱسْمَهُ فِيهِ.

And thou shall rejoice before Jehovah thy God, thou, and thy son, and thy daughter, and thy man-servant, and thy maid-servant, and the Levite who is within thy gates, and the sojourner, and the fatherless, and the widow, who are in the midst of thee, in the place which Jehovah thy God shall choose to cause his name to dwell there,

١٢ 12 وَتَذْكُرُ أَنَّكَ كُنْتَ عَبْدًا فِي مِصْرَ وَتَحْفَظُ، وَتَعْمَلُ هَذِهِ ٱلْفَرَائِضَ.

and thou shall remember that thou were a bondman in Egypt. And thou shall observe and do these statutes.

١٣ 13 «تَعْمَلُ لِنَفْسِكَ عِيدَ ٱلْمَظَالِّ سَبْعَةَ أَيَّامٍ عِنْدَمَا تَجْمَعُ مِنْ بَيْدَرِكَ وَمِنْ مِعْصَرَتِكَ.

Thou shall keep the feast of tabernacles seven days after thou have gathered in from thy threshing-floor and from thy winepress.

١٤ 14 وَتَفْرَحُ فِي عِيدِكَ أَنْتَ وَٱبْنُكَ وَٱبْنَتُكَ وَعَبْدُكَ وَأَمَتُكَ وَاللَّاوِيُّ وَٱلْغَرِيبُ وَٱلْيَتِيمُ وَٱلْأَرْمَلَةُ ٱلَّذِينَ فِي أَبْوَابِكَ.

And thou shall rejoice in thy feast, thou, and thy son, and thy daughter, and thy man-servant, and thy maid-servant, and the Levite, and the sojourner, and the fatherless, and the widow, who are within thy gates.

١٥ 15 سَبْعَةَ أَيَّامٍ تُعَيِّدُ لِلرَّبِّ إِلَهِكَ فِي ٱلْمَكَانِ ٱلَّذِي يَخْتَارُهُ ٱلرَّبُّ، لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ إِلَهَكَ يُبَارِكُكَ فِي كُلِّ مَحْصُولِكَ وَفِي كُلِّ عَمَلِ يَدَيْكَ، فَلَا تَكُونُ إِلَّا فَرِحًا.

Seven days thou shall keep a feast to Jehovah thy God in the place which Jehovah shall choose, because Jehovah thy God will bless thee in all thine increase, and in all the work of thy hands, and thou shall be altogether joyful.

١٦ 16 «ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ فِي ٱلسَّنَةِ يَحْضُرُ جَمِيعُ ذُكُورِكَ أَمَامَ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِكَ فِي ٱلْمَكَانِ ٱلَّذِي يَخْتَارُهُ، فِي عِيدِ ٱلْفَطِيرِ وَعِيدِ ٱلْأَسَابِيعِ وَعِيدِ ٱلْمَظَالِّ. وَلَا يَحْضُرُوا أَمَامَ ٱلرَّبِّ فَارِغِينَ.

Three times in a year all thy males shall appear before Jehovah 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 Jehovah empty.

١٧ 17 كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ حَسْبَمَا تُعْطِي يَدُهُ، كَبَرَكَةِ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِكَ ٱلَّتِي أَعْطَاكَ.

Every man shall give as he is able, according to the blessing of Jehovah thy God which he has given thee.

١٨ 18 «قُضَاةً وَعُرَفَاءَ تَجْعَلُ لَكَ فِي جَمِيعِ أَبْوَابِكَ ٱلَّتِي يُعْطِيكَ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكَ حَسَبَ أَسْبَاطِكَ، فَيَقْضُونَ لِلشَّعْبِ قَضَاءً عَادِلًا.

Thou shall make judges and officers for thee in all thy gates, which Jehovah thy God gives thee, according to thy tribes, and they shall judge the people with righteous judgment.

١٩ 19 لَا تُحَرِّفِ ٱلْقَضَاءَ، وَلَا تَنْظُرْ إِلَى ٱلْوُجُوهِ، وَلَا تَأْخُذْ رَشْوَةً لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّشْوَةَ تُعْمِي أَعْيُنَ ٱلْحُكَمَاءِ وَتُعَوِّجُ كَلَامَ ٱلصِّدِّيقِينَ.

Thou shall not distort justice. Thou shall not respect persons, neither shall thou take a bribe, for a bribe blinds the eyes of the wise, and perverts the words of the righteous.

٢٠ 20 ٱلْعَدْلَ ٱلْعَدْلَ تَتَّبِعُ، لِكَيْ تَحْيَا وَتَمْتَلِكَ ٱلْأَرْضَ ٱلَّتِي يُعْطِيكَ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكَ.

Thou shall follow that which is altogether just, that thou may live, and inherit the land which Jehovah thy God gives thee.

٢١ 21 «لَا تَنْصِبْ لِنَفْسِكَ سَارِيَةً مِنْ شَجَرَةٍ مَّا بِجَانِبِ مَذْبَحِ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِكَ ٱلَّذِي تَصْنَعُهُ لَكَ،

Thou shall not plant for thee an Asherah of any kind of tree beside the altar of Jehovah thy God, which thou shall make for thee.

٢٢ 22 وَلَا تُقِمْ لَكَ نَصْبًا. ٱلشَّيْءَ ٱلَّذِي يُبْغِضُهُ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكَ.

Neither shall thou set up a pillar for thee, which Jehovah thy God hates.
