< اَلتَّثْنِيَة 17 >

«لَا تَذْبَحْ لِلرَّبِّ إِلَهِكَ ثَوْرًا أَوْ شَاةً فِيهِ عَيْبٌ، شَيْءٌ مَّا رَدِيءٌ، لِأَنَّ ذَلِكَ رِجْسٌ لَدَى ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِكَ. ١ 1
You shall not sacrifice to the LORD your God an ox, or a sheep, in which is a blemish, or anything evil; for that is an abomination to the LORD your God.
«إِذَا وُجِدَ فِي وَسَطِكَ فِي أَحَدِ أَبْوَابِكَ ٱلَّتِي يُعْطِيكَ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكَ رَجُلٌ أَوِ ٱمْرَأَةٌ يَفْعَلُ شَرًّا فِي عَيْنَيِ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِكَ بِتَجَاوُزِ عَهْدِهِ، ٢ 2
If there is found in the midst of you, within any of your gates which the LORD your God gives you, man or woman, who does that which is evil in the sight of the LORD your God, in transgressing his covenant,
وَيَذْهَبُ وَيَعْبُدُ آلِهَةً أُخْرَى وَيَسْجُدُ لَهَا، أَوْ لِلشَّمْسِ أَوْ لِلْقَمَرِ أَوْ لِكُلٍّ مِنْ جُنْدِ ٱلسَّمَاءِ، ٱلشَّيْءَ ٱلَّذِي لَمْ أُوصِ بِهِ، ٣ 3
and has gone and served other gods, and worshiped them, or the sun, or the moon, or any of the host of heaven, which I have not commanded;
وَأُخْبِرْتَ وَسَمِعْتَ وَفَحَصْتَ جَيِّدًا وَإِذَا ٱلْأَمْرُ صَحِيحٌ أَكِيدٌ. قَدْ عُمِلَ ذَلِكَ ٱلرِّجْسُ فِي إِسْرَائِيلَ، ٤ 4
and it be told you, and you have heard of it, then you shall inquire diligently; and look, if it be true, and the thing certain, that such abomination is done in Israel,
فَأَخْرِجْ ذَلِكَ ٱلرَّجُلَ أَوْ تِلْكَ ٱلْمَرْأَةَ، ٱلَّذِي فَعَلَ ذَلِكَ ٱلْأَمْرَ ٱلشِّرِّيرَ إِلَى أَبْوَابِكَ، ٱلرَّجُلَ أَوِ ٱلْمَرْأَةَ، وَٱرْجُمْهُ بِٱلْحِجَارَةِ حَتَّى يَمُوتَ. ٥ 5
then you shall bring forth that man or that woman, who has done this evil thing, to your gates, even the man or the woman; and you shall stone them to death with stones.
عَلَى فَمِ شَاهِدَيْنِ أَوْ ثَلَاثَةِ شُهُودٍ يُقْتَلُ ٱلَّذِي يُقْتَلُ. لَا يُقْتَلْ عَلَى فَمِ شَاهِدٍ وَاحِدٍ. ٦ 6
At the mouth of two witnesses, or three witnesses, shall he who is to die be put to death; at the mouth of one witness he shall not be put to death.
أَيْدِي ٱلشُّهُودِ تَكُونُ عَلَيْهِ أَوَّلًا لِقَتْلِهِ، ثُمَّ أَيْدِي جَمِيعِ ٱلشَّعْبِ أَخِيرًا، فَتَنْزِعُ ٱلشَّرَّ مِنْ وَسَطِكَ. ٧ 7
The hand of the witnesses shall be first on him to put him to death, and afterward the hand of all the people. So you shall put away the evil from the midst of you.
«إِذَا عَسِرَ عَلَيْكَ أَمْرٌ فِي ٱلْقَضَاءِ بَيْنَ دَمٍ وَدَمٍ، أَوْ بَيْنَ دَعْوَى وَدَعْوَى، أَوْ بَيْنَ ضَرْبَةٍ وَضَرْبَةٍ مِنْ أُمُورِ ٱلْخُصُومَاتِ فِي أَبْوَابِكَ، فَقُمْ وَٱصْعَدْ إِلَى ٱلْمَكَانِ ٱلَّذِي يَخْتَارُهُ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكَ، ٨ 8
If there arises a matter too hard for you in judgment, between blood and blood, between plea and plea, and between stroke and stroke, being matters of controversy within your gates; then you shall arise, and go up to the place which the LORD your God shall choose;
وَٱذْهَبْ إِلَى ٱلْكَهَنَةِ ٱللَّاوِيِّينَ وَإِلَى ٱلْقَاضِي ٱلَّذِي يَكُونُ فِي تِلْكَ ٱلْأَيَّامِ، وَٱسْأَلْ فَيُخْبِرُوكَ بِأَمْرِ ٱلْقَضَاءِ. ٩ 9
and you shall come to the priests the Levites, and to the judge who shall be in those days: and you shall inquire; and they shall show you the sentence of judgment.
فَتَعْمَلُ حَسَبَ ٱلْأَمْرِ ٱلَّذِي يُخْبِرُونَكَ بِهِ مِنْ ذَلِكَ ٱلْمَكَانِ ٱلَّذِي يَخْتَارُهُ ٱلرَّبُّ، وَتَحْرِصُ أَنْ تَعْمَلَ حَسَبَ كُلِّ مَا يُعَلِّمُونَكَ. ١٠ 10
You shall do according to the tenor of the sentence which they shall show you from that place which the LORD shall choose; and you shall observe to do according to all that they shall teach you:
حَسَبَ ٱلشَّرِيعَةِ ٱلَّتِي يُعَلِّمُونَكَ وَٱلْقَضَاءِ ٱلَّذِي يَقُولُونَهُ لَكَ تَعْمَلُ. لَا تَحِدْ عَنِ ٱلْأَمْرِ ٱلَّذِي يُخْبِرُونَكَ بِهِ يَمِينًا أَوْ شِمَالًا. ١١ 11
according to the tenor of the law which they shall teach you, and according to the judgment which they shall tell you, you shall do; you shall not turn aside from the sentence which they shall show you, to the right hand, nor to the left.
وَٱلرَّجُلُ ٱلَّذِي يَعْمَلُ بِطُغْيَانٍ، فَلَا يَسْمَعُ لِلْكَاهِنِ ٱلْوَاقِفِ هُنَاكَ لِيَخْدِمَ ٱلرَّبَّ إِلَهَكَ، أَوْ لِلْقَاضِي، يُقْتَلُ ذَلِكَ ٱلرَّجُلُ، فَتَنْزِعُ ٱلشَّرَّ مِنْ إِسْرَائِيلَ. ١٢ 12
The man who does presumptuously, in not listening to the priest who stands to minister there before the LORD your God, or to the judge, even that man shall die: and you shall put away the evil from Israel.
فَيَسْمَعُ جَمِيعُ ٱلشَّعْبِ وَيَخَافُونَ وَلَا يَطْغَوْنَ بَعْدُ. ١٣ 13
All the people shall hear, and fear, and do no more presumptuously.
«مَتَى أَتَيْتَ إِلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ ٱلَّتِي يُعْطِيكَ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكَ، وَٱمْتَلَكْتَهَا وَسَكَنْتَ فِيهَا، فَإِنْ قُلْتَ: أَجْعَلُ عَلَيَّ مَلِكًا كَجَمِيعِ ٱلْأُمَمِ ٱلَّذِينَ حَوْلِي. ١٤ 14
When you have come to the land which the LORD your God gives you, and shall possess it, and shall dwell in it, and shall say, "I will set a king over me, like all the nations that are around me";
فَإِنَّكَ تَجْعَلُ عَلَيْكَ مَلِكًا ٱلَّذِي يَخْتَارُهُ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكَ. مِنْ وَسَطِ إِخْوَتِكَ تَجْعَلُ عَلَيْكَ مَلِكًا. لَا يَحِلُّ لَكَ أَنْ تَجْعَلَ عَلَيْكَ رَجُلًا أَجْنَبِيًّا لَيْسَ هُوَ أَخَاكَ. ١٥ 15
you shall surely set him king over yourselves, whom the LORD your God shall choose: one from among your brothers you shall set king over you; you may not put a foreigner over you, who is not your brother.
وَلَكِنْ لَا يُكَثِّرْ لَهُ ٱلْخَيْلَ، وَلَا يَرُدُّ ٱلشَّعْبَ إِلَى مِصْرَ لِكَيْ يُكَثِّرَ ٱلْخَيْلَ، وَٱلرَّبُّ قَدْ قَالَ لَكُمْ: لَا تَعُودُوا تَرْجِعُونَ فِي هَذِهِ ٱلطَّرِيقِ أَيْضًا. ١٦ 16
Only he shall not multiply horses to himself, nor cause the people to return to Egypt, to the end that he may multiply horses; because the LORD has said to you, "You shall not go back that way again."
وَلَا يُكَثِّرْ لَهُ نِسَاءً لِئَلَّا يَزِيغَ قَلْبُهُ. وَفِضَّةً وَذَهَبًا لَا يُكَثِّرْ لَهُ كَثِيرًا. ١٧ 17
Neither shall he multiply wives to himself, that his heart not turn away: neither shall he greatly multiply to himself silver and gold.
وَعِنْدَمَا يَجْلِسُ عَلَى كُرْسِيِّ مَمْلَكَتِهِ، يَكْتُبُ لِنَفْسِهِ نُسْخَةً مِنْ هَذِهِ ٱلشَّرِيعَةِ فِي كِتَابٍ مِنْ عِنْدِ ٱلْكَهَنَةِ ٱللَّاوِيِّينَ، ١٨ 18
It shall be, when he sits on the throne of his kingdom, that he shall write him a copy of this law on a scroll in the presence of the Levitical priests.
فَتَكُونُ مَعَهُ، وَيَقْرَأُ فِيهَا كُلَّ أَيَّامِ حَيَاتِهِ، لِكَيْ يَتَعَلَّمَ أَنْ يَتَّقِيَ ٱلرَّبَّ إِلَهَهُ وَيَحْفَظَ جَمِيعَ كَلِمَاتِ هَذِهِ ٱلشَّرِيعَةِ وَهَذِهِ ٱلْفَرَائِضَ لِيَعْمَلَ بِهَا، ١٩ 19
And it shall be with him, and he shall read it all the days of his life; that he may learn to fear the LORD his God, to keep all the words of this law and these statutes, to do them;
لِئَلَّا يَرْتَفِعَ قَلْبُهُ عَلَى إِخْوَتِهِ، وَلِئَلَّا يَحِيدَ عَنِ ٱلْوَصِيَّةِ يَمِينًا أَوْ شِمَالًا. لِكَيْ يُطِيلَ ٱلْأَيَّامَ عَلَى مَمْلَكَتِهِ هُوَ وَبَنُوهُ فِي وَسَطِ إِسْرَائِيلَ. ٢٠ 20
that his heart not be lifted up above his brothers, and that he not turn aside from the commandment, to the right hand, or to the left: to the end that he may prolong his days in his kingdom, he and his children, in the midst of Israel.
