< اَلتَّثْنِيَة 24 >

«إِذَا أَخَذَ رَجُلٌ ٱمْرَأَةً وَتَزَوَّجَ بِهَا، فَإِنْ لَمْ تَجِدْ نِعْمَةً فِي عَيْنَيْهِ لِأَنَّهُ وَجَدَ فِيهَا عَيْبَ شَيْءٍ، وَكَتَبَ لَهَا كِتَابَ طَلَاقٍ وَدَفَعَهُ إِلَى يَدِهَا وَأَطْلَقَهَا مِنْ بَيْتِهِ، ١ 1
When a man takes a wife and marries her, if she finds no favor in his eyes because he has found some unsuitable thing in her, then he must write her a certificate of divorce, put it into her hand, and send her out of his house.
وَمَتَى خَرَجَتْ مِنْ بَيْتِهِ ذَهَبَتْ وَصَارَتْ لِرَجُلٍ آخَرَ، ٢ 2
When she has gone out of his house, she may go and be another man's wife.
فَإِنْ أَبْغَضَهَا ٱلرَّجُلُ ٱلْأَخِيرُ وَكَتَبَ لَهَا كِتَابَ طَلَاقٍ وَدَفَعَهُ إِلَى يَدِهَا وَأَطْلَقَهَا مِنْ بَيْتِهِ، أَوْ إِذَا مَاتَ ٱلرَّجُلُ ٱلْأَخِيرُ ٱلَّذِي ٱتَّخَذَهَا لَهُ زَوْجَةً، ٣ 3
If the second husband hates her and writes her a certificate of divorce, puts it into her hand, and sends her out of his house; or if the second husband dies, the man who took her to be his wife—
لَا يَقْدِرُ زَوْجُهَا ٱلْأَوَّلُ ٱلَّذِي طَلَّقَهَا أَنْ يَعُودَ يَأْخُذُهَا لِتَصِيرَ لَهُ زَوْجَةً بَعْدَ أَنْ تَنَجَّسَتْ. لِأَنَّ ذَلِكَ رِجْسٌ لَدَى ٱلرَّبِّ. فَلَا تَجْلِبْ خَطِيَّةً عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ ٱلَّتِي يُعْطِيكَ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكَ نَصِيبًا. ٤ 4
then her former husband, the one who had first sent her away, may not take her again to be his wife, after she has become impure; for that would be an abomination to Yahweh. You must not cause the land to become guilty, the land that Yahweh your God is giving you as an inheritance.
«إِذَا ٱتَّخَذَ رَجُلٌ ٱمْرَأَةً جَدِيدَةً، فَلَا يَخْرُجْ فِي ٱلْجُنْدِ، وَلَا يُحْمَلْ عَلَيْهِ أَمْرٌ مَّا. حُرًّا يَكُونُ فِي بَيْتِهِ سَنَةً وَاحِدَةً، وَيَسُرُّ ٱمْرَأَتَهُ ٱلَّتِي أَخَذَهَا. ٥ 5
When a man takes a new wife, he will not go to war with the army, neither may he be commanded to go on any forced duty; he will be free to be at home for one year and will cheer his wife whom he has taken.
«لَا يَسْتَرْهِنْ أَحَدٌ رَحًى أَوْ مِرْدَاتَهَا، لِأَنَّهُ إِنَّمَا يَسْتَرْهِنُ حَيَاةً. ٦ 6
No man may take a mill or an upper millstone as a pledge, for that would be taking a person's life as a pledge.
«إِذَا وُجِدَ رَجُلٌ قَدْ سَرَقَ نَفْسًا مِنْ إِخْوَتِهِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ وَٱسْتَرَقَّهُ وَبَاعَهُ، يَمُوتُ ذَلِكَ ٱلسَّارِقُ، فَتَنْزِعُ ٱلشَّرَّ مِنْ وَسَطِكَ. ٧ 7
If a man is found kidnapping any of his brothers from among the people of Israel, and treats him as a slave and sells him, that thief must die; and you will remove the evil from among you.
«اِحْرِصْ فِي ضَرْبَةِ ٱلْبَرَصِ لِتَحْفَظَ جِدًّا وَتَعْمَلَ حَسَبَ كُلِّ مَا يُعَلِّمُكَ ٱلْكَهَنَةُ ٱللَّاوِيُّونَ. كَمَا أَمَرْتُهُمْ تَحْرِصُونَ أَنْ تَعْمَلُوا. ٨ 8
Take heed regarding any plague of leprosy, so that you carefully observe and follow every instruction given to you which the priests, the Levites, teach you; as I commanded them, so you will act.
اُذْكُرْ مَا صَنَعَ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكَ بِمَرْيَمَ فِي ٱلطَّرِيقِ عِنْدَ خُرُوجِكُمْ مِنْ مِصْرَ. ٩ 9
Call to mind what Yahweh your God did to Miriam as you were coming out of Egypt.
«إِذَا أَقْرَضْتَ صَاحِبَكَ قَرْضًا مَّا، فَلَا تَدْخُلْ بَيْتَهُ لِكَيْ تَرْتَهِنَ رَهْنًا مِنْهُ. ١٠ 10
When you make your neighbor any kind of loan, you must not go into his house to fetch his pledge.
فِي ٱلْخَارِجِ تَقِفُ، وَٱلرَّجُلُ ٱلَّذِي تُقْرِضُهُ يُخْرِجُ إِلَيْكَ ٱلرَّهْنَ إِلَى ٱلْخَارِجِ. ١١ 11
You will stand outside, and the man to whom you have lent will bring the pledge outside to you.
وَإِنْ كَانَ رَجُلًا فَقِيرًا فَلَا تَنَمْ فِي رَهْنِهِ. ١٢ 12
If he is a poor man, you must not sleep with his pledge in your possession.
رُدَّ إِلَيْهِ ٱلرَّهْنَ عِنْدَ غُرُوبِ ٱلشَّمْسِ، لِكَيْ يَنَامَ فِي ثَوْبِهِ وَيُبَارِكَكَ، فَيَكُونَ لَكَ بِرٌّ لَدَى ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِكَ. ١٣ 13
You must surely restore to him the pledge by the time the sun goes down, so that he may sleep in his cloak and bless you; it will be righteousness for you before Yahweh your God.
«لَا تَظْلِمْ أَجِيرًا مِسْكِينًا وَفَقِيرًا مِنْ إِخْوَتِكَ أَوْ مِنَ ٱلْغُرَبَاءِ ٱلَّذِينَ فِي أَرْضِكَ، فِي أَبْوَابِكَ. ١٤ 14
You must not oppress a hired servant who is poor and needy, whether he is of your fellow Israelites, or of the foreigners who are in your land within your city gates;
فِي يَوْمِهِ تُعْطِيهِ أُجْرَتَهُ، وَلَا تَغْرُبْ عَلَيْهَا ٱلشَّمْسُ، لِأَنَّهُ فَقِيرٌ وَإِلَيْهَا حَامِلٌ نَفْسَهُ، لِئَلَّا يَصْرُخَ عَلَيْكَ إِلَى ٱلرَّبِّ فَتَكُونَ عَلَيْكَ خَطِيَّةٌ. ١٥ 15
Each day you must give him his wage; the sun must not go down on this unsettled matter, for he is poor and is counting on it. Do this so that he does not cry out against you to Yahweh, and so that it not be a sin that you have committed.
«لَا يُقْتَلُ ٱلْآبَاءُ عَنِ ٱلْأَوْلَادِ، وَلَا يُقْتَلُ ٱلْأَوْلَادُ عَنِ ٱلْآبَاءِ. كُلُّ إِنْسَانٍ بِخَطِيَّتِهِ يُقْتَلُ. ١٦ 16
The parents must not be put to death for their children, neither must the children be put to death for their parents. Instead, everyone must be put to death for his own sin.
«لَا تُعَوِّجْ حُكْمَ ٱلْغَرِيبِ وَٱلْيَتِيمِ، وَلَا تَسْتَرْهِنْ ثَوْبَ ٱلْأَرْمَلَةِ. ١٧ 17
You must not use force to take away the justice that is due the foreigner or the fatherless, nor take the widow's cloak as a pledge.
وَٱذْكُرْ أَنَّكَ كُنْتَ عَبْدًا فِي مِصْرَ فَفَدَاكَ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكَ مِنْ هُنَاكَ. لِذَلِكَ أَنَا أُوصِيكَ أَنْ تَعْمَلَ هَذَا ٱلْأَمْرَ. ١٨ 18
Instead, you must call to mind that you were a slave in Egypt, and that Yahweh your God rescued you from there. Therefore I instruct you to obey this command.
«إِذَا حَصَدْتَ حَصِيدَكَ فِي حَقْلِكَ وَنَسِيتَ حُزْمَةً فِي ٱلْحَقْلِ، فَلَا تَرْجِعْ لِتَأْخُذَهَا، لِلْغَرِيبِ وَٱلْيَتِيمِ وَٱلْأَرْمَلَةِ تَكُونُ، لِكَيْ يُبَارِكَكَ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكَ فِي كُلِّ عَمَلِ يَدَيْكَ. ١٩ 19
When you reap your harvest in your field, and if you have forgotten an omer of grain in the field, you must not go back to get it; it must be for the foreigner, for the fatherless, or for the widow, so that Yahweh your God may bless you in all the work of your hands.
وَإِذَا خَبَطْتَ زَيْتُونَكَ فَلَا تُرَاجِعِ ٱلْأَغْصَانَ وَرَاءَكَ، لِلْغَرِيبِ وَٱلْيَتِيمِ وَٱلْأَرْمَلَةِ يَكُونُ. ٢٠ 20
When you shake your olive tree, you must not go over the branches again; it will be for the foreigner, for the fatherless, or for the widow.
إِذَا قَطَفْتَ كَرْمَكَ فَلَا تُعَلِّلْهُ وَرَاءَكَ. لِلْغَرِيبِ وَٱلْيَتِيمِ وَٱلْأَرْمَلَةِ يَكُونُ. ٢١ 21
When you gather the grapes of your vineyard, you must not glean it again. What is left over will be for the foreigner, for the fatherless, and for the widow.
وَٱذْكُرْ أَنَّكَ كُنْتَ عَبْدًا فِي أَرْضِ مِصْرَ. لِذَلِكَ أَنَا أُوصِيكَ أَنْ تَعْمَلَ هَذَا ٱلْأَمْرَ. ٢٢ 22
You must call to mind that you were a slave in the land of Egypt; therefore I instruct you to obey this command.
