اَلتَّثْنِيَة 23

١ 1 «لَا يَدْخُلْ مَخْصِيٌّ بِٱلرَّضِّ أَوْ مَجْبُوبٌ فِي جَمَاعَةِ ٱلرَّبِّ.

He that is wounded in the stones, or has his privy member cut off, shall not enter into the congregation of the LORD.

٢ 2 لَا يَدْخُلِ ٱبْنُ زِنًى فِي جَمَاعَةِ ٱلرَّبِّ. حَتَّى ٱلْجِيلِ ٱلْعَاشِرِ لَا يَدْخُلْ مِنْهُ أَحَدٌ فِي جَمَاعَةِ ٱلرَّبِّ.

A bastard shall not enter into the congregation of the LORD; even to his tenth generation shall he not enter into the congregation of the LORD.

٣ 3 لَا يَدْخُلْ عَمُّونِيٌّ وَلَا مُوآبِيٌّ فِي جَمَاعَةِ ٱلرَّبِّ. حَتَّى ٱلْجِيلِ ٱلْعَاشِرِ لَا يَدْخُلْ مِنْهُمْ أَحَدٌ فِي جَمَاعَةِ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ،

An Ammonite or Moabite shall not enter into the congregation of the LORD; even to their tenth generation shall they not enter into the congregation of the LORD for ever:

٤ 4 مِنْ أَجْلِ أَنَّهُمْ لَمْ يُلَاقُوكُمْ بِٱلْخُبْزِ وَٱلْمَاءِ فِي ٱلطَّرِيقِ عِنْدَ خُرُوجِكُمْ مِنْ مِصْرَ، وَلِأَنَّهُمُ ٱسْتَأْجَرُوا عَلَيْكَ بَلْعَامَ بْنَ بَعُورَ مِنْ فَتُورِ أَرَامِ ٱلنَّهْرَيْنِ لِكَيْ يَلْعَنَكَ.

Because they met you not with bread and with water in the way, when you came forth out of Egypt; and because they hired against you Balaam the son of Beor of Pethor of Mesopotamia, to curse you.

٥ 5 وَلَكِنْ لَمْ يَشَإِ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكَ أَنْ يَسْمَعَ لِبَلْعَامَ، فَحَوَّلَ لِأَجْلِكَ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكَ ٱللَّعْنَةَ إِلَى بَرَكَةٍ، لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ إِلَهَكَ قَدْ أَحَبَّكَ.

Nevertheless the LORD your God would not listen to Balaam; but the LORD your God turned the curse into a blessing to you, because the LORD your God loved you.

٦ 6 لَا تَلْتَمِسْ سَلَامَهُمْ وَلَا خَيْرَهُمْ كُلَّ أَيَّامِكَ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ.

You shall not seek their peace nor their prosperity all your days for ever.

٧ 7 لَا تَكْرَهْ أَدُومِيًّا لِأَنَّهُ أَخُوكَ. لَا تَكْرَهْ مِصْرِيًّا لِأَنَّكَ كُنْتَ نَزِيلًا فِي أَرْضِهِ.

You shall not abhor an Edomite; for he is your brother: you shall not abhor an Egyptian; because you were a stranger in his land.

٨ 8 ٱلْأَوْلَادُ ٱلَّذِينَ يُولَدُونَ لَهُمْ فِي ٱلْجِيلِ ٱلثَّالِثِ يَدْخُلُونَ مِنْهُمْ فِي جَمَاعَةِ ٱلرَّبِّ.

The children that are begotten of them shall enter into the congregation of the LORD in their third generation.

٩ 9 «إِذَا خَرَجْتَ فِي جَيْشٍ عَلَى أَعْدَائِكَ فَٱحْتَرِزْ مِنْ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ رَدِيءٍ.

When the host goes forth against your enemies, then keep you from every wicked thing.

١٠ 10 إِنْ كَانَ فِيكَ رَجُلٌ غَيْرَ طَاهِرٍ مِنْ عَارِضِ ٱللَّيْلِ، يَخْرُجُ إِلَى خَارِجِ ٱلْمَحَلَّةِ. لَا يَدْخُلْ إِلَى دَاخِلِ ٱلْمَحَلَّةِ.

If there be among you any man, that is not clean by reason of uncleanness that chances him by night, then shall he go abroad out of the camp, he shall not come within the camp:

١١ 11 وَنَحْوَ إِقْبَالِ ٱلْمَسَاءِ يَغْتَسِلُ بِمَاءٍ، وَعِنْدَ غُرُوبِ ٱلشَّمْسِ يَدْخُلُ إِلَى دَاخِلِ ٱلْمَحَلَّةِ.

But it shall be, when evening comes on, he shall wash himself with water: and when the sun is down, he shall come into the camp again.

١٢ 12 وَيَكُونُ لَكَ مَوْضِعٌ خَارِجَ ٱلْمَحَلَّةِ لِتَخْرُجَ إِلَيْهِ خَارِجًا.

You shall have a place also without the camp, where you shall go forth abroad:

١٣ 13 وَيَكُونُ لَكَ وَتَدٌ مَعَ عُدَّتِكَ لِتَحْفِرَ بِهِ عِنْدَمَا تَجْلِسُ خَارِجًا وَتَرْجِعُ وَتُغَطِّي بِرَازَكَ.

And you shall have a paddle on your weapon; and it shall be, when you will ease yourself abroad, you shall dig therewith, and shall turn back and cover that which comes from you:

١٤ 14 لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ إِلَهَكَ سَائِرٌ فِي وَسَطِ مَحَلَّتِكَ، لِكَيْ يُنْقِذَكَ وَيَدْفَعَ أَعْدَاءَكَ أَمَامَكَ. فَلْتَكُنْ مَحَلَّتُكَ مُقَدَّسَةً، لِئَلَّا يَرَى فِيكَ قَذَرَ شَيْءٍ فَيَرْجِعَ عَنْكَ.

For the LORD your God walks in the middle of your camp, to deliver you, and to give up your enemies before you; therefore shall your camp be holy: that he see no unclean thing in you, and turn away from you.

١٥ 15 «عَبْدًا أَبَقَ إِلَيْكَ مِنْ مَوْلَاهُ لَا تُسَلِّمْ إِلَى مَوْلَاهُ.

You shall not deliver to his master the servant which is escaped from his master to you:

١٦ 16 عِنْدَكَ يُقِيمُ فِي وَسَطِكَ، فِي ٱلْمَكَانِ ٱلَّذِي يَخْتَارُهُ فِي أَحَدِ أَبْوَابِكَ حَيْثُ يَطِيبُ لَهُ. لَا تَظْلِمْهُ.

He shall dwell with you, even among you, in that place which he shall choose in one of your gates, where it likes him best: you shall not oppress him.

١٧ 17 «لَا تَكُنْ زَانِيَةٌ مِنْ بَنَاتِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَلَا يَكُنْ مَأْبُونٌ مِنْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ.

There shall be no whore of the daughters of Israel, nor a sodomite of the sons of Israel.

١٨ 18 لَا تُدْخِلْ أُجْرَةَ زَانِيَةٍ وَلَا ثَمَنَ كَلْبٍ إِلَى بَيْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِكَ عَنْ نَذْرٍ مَّا، لِأَنَّهُمَا كِلَيْهِمَا رِجْسٌ لَدَى ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِكَ.

You shall not bring the hire of a whore, or the price of a dog, into the house of the LORD your God for any vow: for even both these are abomination to the LORD your God.

١٩ 19 «لَا تُقْرِضْ أَخَاكَ بِرِبًا، رِبَا فِضَّةٍ، أَوْ رِبَا طَعَامٍ، أَوْ رِبَا شَيْءٍ مَّا مِمَّا يُقْرَضُ بِرِبًا،

You shall not lend on usury to your brother; usury of money, usury of victuals, usury of any thing that is lent on usury:

٢٠ 20 لِلْأَجْنَبِيِّ تُقْرِضُ بِرِبًا، وَلَكِنْ لِأَخِيكَ لَا تُقْرِضْ بِرِبًا، لِكَيْ يُبَارِكَكَ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكَ فِي كُلِّ مَا تَمْتَدُّ إِلَيْهِ يَدُكَ فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ ٱلَّتِي أَنْتَ دَاخِلٌ إِلَيْهَا لِتَمْتَلِكَهَا.

To a stranger you may lend on usury; but to your brother you shall not lend on usury: that the LORD your God may bless you in all that you set your hand to in the land where you go to possess it.

٢١ 21 «إِذَا نَذَرْتَ نَذْرًا لِلرَّبِّ إِلَهِكَ فَلَا تُؤَخِّرْ وَفَاءَهُ، لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ إِلَهَكَ يَطْلُبُهُ مِنْكَ فَتَكُونُ عَلَيْكَ خَطِيَّةٌ.

When you shall vow a vow to the LORD your God, you shall not slack to pay it: for the LORD your God will surely require it of you; and it would be sin in you.

٢٢ 22 وَلَكِنْ إِذَا ٱمْتَنَعْتَ أَنْ تَنْذُرَ لَا تَكُونُ عَلَيْكَ خَطِيَّةٌ.

But if you shall forbear to vow, it shall be no sin in you.

٢٣ 23 مَا خَرَجَ مِنْ شَفَتَيْكَ ٱحْفَظْ وَٱعْمَلْ، كَمَا نَذَرْتَ لِلرَّبِّ إِلَهِكَ تَبَرُّعًا، كَمَا تَكَلَّمَ فَمُكَ.

That which is gone out of your lips you shall keep and perform; even a freewill offering, according as you have vowed to the LORD your God, which you have promised with your mouth.

٢٤ 24 «إِذَا دَخَلْتَ كَرْمَ صَاحِبِكَ فَكُلْ عِنَبًا حَسَبَ شَهْوَةِ نَفْسِكَ، شَبْعَتَكَ. وَلَكِنْ فِي وِعَائِكَ لَا تَجْعَلْ.

When you come into your neighbor’s vineyard, then you may eat grapes your fill at your own pleasure; but you shall not put any in your vessel.

٢٥ 25 إِذَا دَخَلْتَ زَرْعَ صَاحِبِكَ فَٱقْطِفْ سَنَابِلَ بِيَدِكَ، وَلَكِنْ مِنْجَلًا لَا تَرْفَعْ عَلَى زَرْعِ صَاحِبِكَ.

When you come into the standing corn of your neighbor, then you may pluck the ears with your hand; but you shall not move a sickle to your neighbor’s standing corn.
