< اَلتَّثْنِيَة 19 >

«مَتَى قَرَضَ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكَ ٱلْأُمَمَ ٱلَّذِينَ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكَ يُعْطِيكَ أَرْضَهُمْ، وَوَرِثْتَهُمْ وَسَكَنْتَ مُدُنَهُمْ وَبُيُوتَهُمْ، ١ 1
When Jehovah thy God shall cut off the nations, whose land Jehovah thy God gives thee, and thou succeed them, and dwell in their cities, and in their houses,
تَفْرِزُ لِنَفْسِكَ ثَلَاثَ مُدُنٍ فِي وَسَطِ أَرْضِكَ ٱلَّتِي يُعْطِيكَ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكَ لِتَمْتَلِكَهَا. ٢ 2
thou shall set apart three cities for thee in the midst of thy land, which Jehovah thy God gives thee to possess it.
تُصْلِحُ ٱلطَّرِيقَ وَتُثَلِّثُ تُخُومَ أَرْضِكَ ٱلَّتِي يَقْسِمُ لَكَ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكَ، فَتَكُونُ لِكَيْ يَهْرُبَ إِلَيْهَا كُلُّ قَاتِلٍ. ٣ 3
Thou shall prepare for thee the way, and divide the borders of thy land, which Jehovah thy God causes thee to inherit, into three parts, that every manslayer may flee there.
وَهَذَا هُوَ حُكْمُ ٱلْقَاتِلِ ٱلَّذِي يَهْرُبُ إِلَى هُنَاكَ فَيَحْيَا: مَنْ ضَرَبَ صَاحِبَهُ بِغَيْرِ عِلْمٍ وَهُوَ غَيْرُ مُبْغِضٍ لَهُ مُنْذُ أَمْسِ وَمَا قَبْلَهُ. ٤ 4
And this is the case of the manslayer, who shall flee there and live: Whoever kills his neighbor unawares, and did not hate him in time past,
وَمَنْ ذَهَبَ مَعَ صَاحِبِهِ فِي ٱلْوَعْرِ لِيَحْتَطِبَ حَطَبًا، فَٱنْدَفَعَتْ يَدُهُ بِٱلْفَأْسِ لِيَقْطَعَ ٱلْحَطَبَ، وَأَفْلَتَ ٱلْحَدِيدُ مِنَ ٱلْخَشَبِ وَأَصَابَ صَاحِبَهُ فَمَاتَ، فَهُوَ يَهْرُبُ إِلَى إِحْدَى تِلْكَ ٱلْمُدُنِ فَيَحْيَا. ٥ 5
as when a man goes into the forest with his neighbor to hew wood, and his hand fetches a stroke with the axe to cut down the tree, and the head slips from the helve, and lands upon his neighbor, so that he dies, he shall flee to one of these cities and live.
لِئَلَّا يَسْعَى وَلِيُّ ٱلدَّمِ وَرَاءَ ٱلْقَاتِلِ حِينَ يَحْمَى قَلْبُهُ، وَيُدْرِكَهُ إِذَا طَالَ ٱلطَّرِيقُ وَيَقْتُلَهُ، وَلَيْسَ عَلَيْهِ حُكْمُ ٱلْمَوْتِ، لِأَنَّهُ غَيْرُ مُبْغِضٍ لَهُ مُنْذُ أَمْسِ وَمَا قَبْلَهُ. ٦ 6
Lest the avenger of blood pursue the manslayer, while his heart is hot, and overtake him, because the way is long, and smite him mortally, whereas he was not worthy of death, inasmuch as he did not hate him in time past.
لِأَجْلِ ذَلِكَ أَنَا آمُرُكَ قَائِلًا: ثَلَاثَ مُدُنٍ تَفْرِزُ لِنَفْسِكَ. ٧ 7
Therefore I command thee, saying, Thou shall set apart three cities for thee.
وَإِنْ وَسَّعَ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكَ تُخُومَكَ كَمَا حَلَفَ لِآبَائِكَ، وَأَعْطَاكَ جَمِيعَ ٱلْأَرْضِ ٱلَّتِي قَالَ إِنَّهُ يُعْطِي لِآبَائِكَ، ٨ 8
And if Jehovah thy God enlarge thy border, as he has sworn to thy fathers, and give thee all the land which he promised to give to thy fathers,
إِذْ حَفِظْتَ كُلَّ هَذِهِ ٱلْوَصَايَا لِتَعْمَلَهَا، كَمَا أَنَا أُوصِيكَ ٱلْيَوْمَ لِتُحِبَّ ٱلرَّبَّ إِلَهَكَ وَتَسْلُكَ فِي طُرُقِهِ كُلَّ ٱلْأَيَّامِ، فَزِدْ لِنَفْسِكَ أَيْضًا ثَلَاثَ مُدُنٍ عَلَى هَذِهِ ٱلثَّلَاثِ، ٩ 9
if thou shall keep all this commandment to do it, which I command thee this day, to love Jehovah thy God, and to walk ever in his ways, then shall thou add three more cities for thee, besides these three,
حَتَّى لَا يُسْفَكَ دَمُ بَرِيءٍ فِي وَسَطِ أَرْضِكَ ٱلَّتِي يُعْطِيكَ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكَ نَصِيبًا، فَيَكُونَ عَلَيْكَ دَمٌ. ١٠ 10
that innocent blood not be shed in the midst of thy land, which Jehovah thy God gives thee for an inheritance, and so blood be upon thee.
«وَلَكِنْ إِذَا كَانَ إِنْسَانٌ مُبْغِضًا لِصَاحِبِهِ، فَكَمَنَ لَهُ وَقَامَ عَلَيْهِ وَضَرَبَهُ ضَرْبَةً قَاتِلَةً فَمَاتَ، ثُمَّ هَرَبَ إِلَى إِحْدَى تِلْكَ ٱلْمُدُنِ، ١١ 11
But if any man hates his neighbor, and lies in wait for him, and rises up against him, and smites him mortally so that he dies, and he flees into one of these cities,
يُرْسِلُ شُيُوخُ مَدِينَتِهِ وَيَأْخُذُونَهُ مِنْ هُنَاكَ وَيَدْفَعُونَهُ إِلَى يَدِ وَلِيِّ ٱلدَّمِ فَيَمُوتُ. ١٢ 12
then the elders of his city shall send and fetch him from there, and deliver him into the hand of the avenger of blood, that he may die.
لَا تُشْفِقْ عَيْنُكَ عَلَيْهِ. فَتَنْزِعَ دَمَ ٱلْبَرِيءِ مِنْ إِسْرَائِيلَ، فَيَكُونَ لَكَ خَيْرٌ. ١٣ 13
Thine eye shall not pity him, but thou shall put away the innocent blood from Israel, that it may go well with thee.
لَا تَنْقُلْ تُخْمَ صَاحِبِكَ ٱلَّذِي نَصَبَهُ ٱلْأَوَّلُونَ فِي نَصِيبِكَ ٱلَّذِي تَنَالُهُ فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ ٱلَّتِي يُعْطِيكَ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكَ لِكَيْ تَمْتَلِكَهَا. ١٤ 14
Thou shall not remove thy neighbor's landmark, which they of old time have set, in thine inheritance which thou shall inherit, in the land that Jehovah thy God gives thee to possess it.
«لَا يَقُومُ شَاهِدٌ وَاحِدٌ عَلَى إِنْسَانٍ فِي ذَنْبٍ مَّا أَوْ خَطِيَّةٍ مَّا مِنْ جَمِيعِ ٱلْخَطَايَا ٱلَّتِي يُخْطِئُ بِهَا. عَلَى فَمِ شَاهِدَيْنِ أَوْ عَلَى فَمِ ثَلَاثَةِ شُهُودٍ يَقُومُ ٱلْأَمْرُ. ١٥ 15
One witness shall not rise up against a man for any iniquity, or for any sin, in any sin that he sins. At the mouth of two witnesses, or at the mouth of three witnesses, shall a matter be established.
إِذَا قَامَ شَاهِدُ زُورٍ عَلَى إِنْسَانٍ لِيَشْهَدَ عَلَيْهِ بِزَيْغٍ، ١٦ 16
If an unrighteous witness rises up against any man to testify against him of wrong-doing,
يَقِفُ ٱلرَّجُلَانِ ٱللَّذَانِ بَيْنَهُمَا ٱلْخُصُومَةُ أَمَامَ ٱلرَّبِّ، أَمَامَ ٱلْكَهَنَةِ وَٱلْقُضَاةِ ٱلَّذِينَ يَكُونُونَ فِي تِلْكَ ٱلْأَيَّامِ. ١٧ 17
then both the men, between whom the controversy is, shall stand before Jehovah, before the priests and the judges that shall be in those days,
فَإِنْ فَحَصَ ٱلْقُضَاةُ جَيِّدًا، وَإِذَا ٱلشَّاهِدُ شَاهِدٌ كَاذِبٌ، قَدْ شَهِدَ بِٱلْكَذِبِ عَلَى أَخِيهِ، ١٨ 18
and the judges shall make diligent inquiry. And, behold, if the witness is a false witness, and has testified falsely against his brother,
فَٱفْعَلُوا بِهِ كَمَا نَوَى أَنْ يَفْعَلَ بِأَخِيهِ. فَتَنْزِعُونَ ٱلشَّرَّ مِنْ وَسْطِكُمْ. ١٩ 19
then ye shall do to him, as he had thought to do to his brother. So shall thou put away the evil from the midst of thee.
وَيَسْمَعُ ٱلْبَاقُونَ فَيَخَافُونَ، وَلَا يَعُودُونَ يَفْعَلُونَ مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ ٱلْأَمْرِ ٱلْخَبِيثِ فِي وَسَطِكَ. ٢٠ 20
And those who remain shall hear, and fear, and shall henceforth commit no more any such evil in the midst of thee.
لَا تُشْفِقْ عَيْنُكَ. نَفْسٌ بِنَفْسٍ. عَيْنٌ بِعَيْنٍ. سِنٌّ بِسِنٍّ. يَدٌ بِيَدٍ. رِجْلٌ بِرِجْلٍ. ٢١ 21
And thine eyes shall not pity: life for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot.
