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 new [corn], and thou shalt sacrifice the passover to the Lord thy God; because in the month of new corn thou camest out of Egypt by night.

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

And thou shalt sacrifice the passover to the Lord thy God, sheep and oxen in the place which the Lord thy God shall choose to have his name called upon it.

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 shalt not eat leaven with it; seven days shalt thou eat unleavened [bread] with it, bread of affliction, because ye came forth out of Egypt in haste; that ye may remember the day of your coming forth out of the land of Egypt all the days of your 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.

Leaven shall not be seen with thee in all thy borders for seven days, and there shall not be left of the flesh which thou shalt sacrifice at even on the first day until the morning.

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

thou shalt not have power to sacrifice the passover in any of the cities, which the Lord 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 in the place which the Lord thy God shall choose, to have his name called there, thou shalt sacrifice the passover at even at the setting of the sun, at the time when thou camest out of Egypt.

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

And thou shalt boil and roast and eat it in the place, which the Lord thy God shall choose; and thou shalt return in the morning, and go to thy house.

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

Six days shalt thou eat unleavened bread, and on the seventh day is a holiday, a feast to the Lord thy God: thou shalt not do in it any work, save what must be done by any one.

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

Seven weeks shalt thou number to thyself; when thou hast begun [to put] the sickle to the corn, thou shalt 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 shalt keep the feast of weeks to the Lord thy God, accordingly as thy hand has power in as many things as the Lord thy God shall give 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 shalt rejoice before the Lord thy God, thou and thy son, and thy daughter, thy man-servant and thy maid-servant, and the Levite, and the stranger, and the orphan, and the widow which dwells among you, in whatsoever place the Lord thy God shall choose, that his name should be called there.

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

And thou shalt remember that thou wast a servant in the land of Egypt, and thou shalt observe and do these commands.

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

Thou shalt keep for thyself the feast of tabernacles seven days, when thou gatherest in [thy produce] from thy corn-floor and thy wine-press.

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

And thou shalt rejoice in thy feast, thou, and thy son, and thy daughter, thy man-servant, and thy maid-servant, and the Levite, and the stranger, and the orphan, and the widow that is in thy cities.

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 shalt thou keep a feast to the Lord thy God in the place which the Lord thy God shall choose for himself; and if the Lord thy God shall bless thee in all thy fruits, and in every work of thy hands, then thou shalt rejoice.

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 the year shall all thy males appear before the Lord thy God in the place which the Lord shall choose in the feast of unleavened bread, and in the feast of weeks, and in the feast of tabernacles: thou shalt not appear before the Lord thy God empty.

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

Each one according to his ability, according to the blessing of the Lord 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 shalt make for thyself judges and officers in thy cities, which the Lord thy God gives thee in [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.

they shall not wrest judgment, nor favour persons, nor receive a gift; for gifts blind the eyes of the wise, and pervert the words of the righteous.

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

Thou shalt justly pursue justice, that ye may live, and go in and inherit the land which the Lord thy God gives thee.

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

Thou shalt not plant for thyself a grove; thou shalt not plant for thyself any tree near the altar of thy God.

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

Thou shalt not set up for thyself a pillar, which the Lord thy God hates.
