< اَلْخُرُوجُ 23 >

«لَا تَقْبَلْ خَبَرًا كَاذِبًا، وَلَا تَضَعْ يَدَكَ مَعَ ٱلْمُنَافِقِ لِتَكُونَ شَاهِدَ ظُلْمٍ. ١ 1
You must not give a false report about anyone. Do not join with a wicked man to be a dishonest witness.
لَا تَتْبَعِ ٱلْكَثِيرِينَ إِلَى فِعْلِ ٱلشَّرِّ، وَلَا تُجِبْ فِي دَعْوَى مَائِلًا وَرَاءَ ٱلْكَثِيرِينَ لِلتَّحْرِيفِ. ٢ 2
You must not follow a crowd to do evil, nor may you bear witness while siding with the crowd in order to pervert justice.
وَلَا تُحَابِ مَعَ ٱلْمِسْكِينِ فِي دَعْوَاهُ. ٣ 3
You must not show favoritism to a poor man in his lawsuit.
إِذَا صَادَفْتَ ثَوْرَ عَدُوِّكَ أَوْ حِمَارَهُ شَارِدًا، تَرُدُّهُ إِلَيْهِ. ٤ 4
If you meet your enemy's ox or his donkey going astray, you must bring it back to him.
إِذَا رَأَيْتَ حِمَارَ مُبْغِضِكَ وَاقِعًا تَحْتَ حِمْلِهِ وَعَدَلْتَ عَنْ حَلِّهِ، فَلَا بُدَّ أَنْ تَحُلَّ مَعَهُ. ٥ 5
If you see the donkey of someone who hates you fallen to the ground under its load, you must not leave that person. You must surely help him with his donkey.
لَا تُحَرِّفْ حَقَّ فَقِيرِكَ فِي دَعْوَاهُ. ٦ 6
Do not thrust aside justice for your poor in his lawsuit.
اِبْتَعِدْ عَنْ كَلَامِ ٱلْكَذِبِ، وَلَا تَقْتُلِ ٱلْبَرِيءَ وَٱلْبَارَّ، لِأَنِّي لَا أُبَرِّرُ ٱلْمُذْنِبَ. ٧ 7
Do not join others in making false accusations, and do not kill the innocent or righteous, for I will not acquit the wicked.
وَلَا تَأْخُذْ رَشْوَةً، لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّشْوَةَ تُعْمِي ٱلْمُبْصِرِينَ، وَتُعَوِّجُ كَلَامَ ٱلْأَبْرَارِ. ٨ 8
Never take a bribe, for a bribe blinds those who see, and perverts honest people's words.
وَلَا تُضَايِقِ ٱلْغَرِيبَ فَإِنَّكُمْ عَارِفُونَ نَفْسَ ٱلْغَرِيبِ، لِأَنَّكُمْ كُنْتُمْ غُرَبَاءَ فِي أَرْضِ مِصْرَ. ٩ 9
You must not oppress a foreigner, since you know the life of a foreigner, for you were foreigners in the land of Egypt.
«وَسِتَّ سِنِينَ تَزْرَعُ أَرْضَكَ وَتَجْمَعُ غَلَّتَهَا، ١٠ 10
For six years you will sow seed on your land and gather in its produce.
وَأَمَّا فِي ٱلسَّابِعَةِ فَتُرِيحُهَا وَتَتْرُكُهَا لِيَأْكُلَ فُقَرَاءُ شَعْبِكَ. وَفَضْلَتُهُمْ تَأْكُلُهَا وُحُوشُ ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ. كَذَلِكَ تَفْعَلُ بِكَرْمِكَ وَزَيْتُونِكَ. ١١ 11
But in the seventh year you will leave it unplowed and fallow, so that the poor among your people may eat. What they leave, the wild animals will eat. You will do the same with your vineyards and olive orchards.
سِتَّةَ أَيَّامٍ تَعْمَلُ عَمَلَكَ. وَأَمَّا ٱلْيَوْمُ ٱلسَّابِعُ فَفِيهِ تَسْتَرِيحُ، لِكَيْ يَسْتَرِيحَ ثَوْرُكَ وَحِمَارُكَ، وَيَتَنَفَّسَ ٱبْنُ أَمَتِكَ وَٱلْغَرِيبُ. ١٢ 12
During six days you will do your work, but on the seventh day you must rest. Do this so that your ox and your donkey may have rest, and so that your female slave's son and any foreigner may rest and be refreshed.
وَكُلُّ مَا قُلْتُ لَكُمُ ٱحْتَفِظُوا بِهِ، وَلَا تَذْكُرُوا ٱسْمَ آلِهَةٍ أُخْرَى، وَلَا يُسْمَعْ مِنْ فَمِكَ. ١٣ 13
Pay attention to everything that I have said to you. Do not mention the names of other gods, nor let their names be heard from your mouth.
«ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ تُعَيِّدُ لِي فِي ٱلسَّنَةِ. ١٤ 14
You must travel to hold a festival for me three times every year.
تَحْفَظُ عِيدَ ٱلْفَطِيرِ. تَأْكُلُ فَطِيرًا سَبْعَةَ أَيَّامٍ كَمَا أَمَرْتُكَ فِي وَقْتِ شَهْرِ أَبِيبَ، لِأَنَّهُ فِيهِ خَرَجْتَ مِنْ مِصْرَ. وَلَا يَظْهَرُوا أَمَامِي فَارِغِينَ. ١٥ 15
You are to observe the Festival of Unleavened Bread. As I commanded you, you will eat unleavened bread for seven days. At that time, you will appear before me in the month of Aviv, which is fixed for this purpose. It was in this month that you came out from Egypt. But you must not appear before me empty-handed.
وَعِيدَ ٱلْحَصَادِ أَبْكَارِ غَلَّاتِكَ ٱلَّتِي تَزْرَعُ فِي ٱلْحَقْلِ. وَعِيدَ ٱلْجَمْعِ فِي نِهَايَةِ ٱلسَّنَةِ عِنْدَمَا تَجْمَعُ غَلَّاتِكَ مِنَ ٱلْحَقْلِ. ١٦ 16
You must observe the Festival of Harvest, the firstfruits of your labors when you sowed seed in the fields. Also you must observe the Festival of Ingathering at the end of the year, when you gather in your produce from the fields.
ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ فِي ٱلسَّنَةِ يَظْهَرُ جَمِيعُ ذُكُورِكَ أَمَامَ ٱلسَّيِّدِ ٱلرَّبِّ. ١٧ 17
All your males must appear before the Lord Yahweh three times every year.
لَا تَذْبَحْ عَلَى خَمِيرٍ دَمَ ذَبِيحَتِي، وَلَا يَبِتْ شَحْمُ عِيدِي إِلَى ٱلْغَدِ. ١٨ 18
You must not offer the blood from sacrifices made to me with bread containing yeast. The fat from the sacrifices at my festivals must not remain all night until the morning.
أَوَّلَ أَبْكَارِ أَرْضِكَ تُحْضِرُهُ إِلَى بَيْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِكَ. لَا تَطْبُخْ جَدْيًا بِلَبَنِ أُمِّهِ. ١٩ 19
You must bring the choicest firstfruits from your land into my house, the house of Yahweh your God. You must not boil a young goat in its mother's milk.
«هَا أَنَا مُرْسِلٌ مَلَاكًا أَمَامَ وَجْهِكَ لِيَحْفَظَكَ فِي ٱلطَّرِيقِ، وَلِيَجِيءَ بِكَ إِلَى ٱلْمَكَانِ ٱلَّذِي أَعْدَدْتُهُ. ٢٠ 20
I am going to send an angel before you to guard you on the way, and to bring you to the place that I have prepared.
اِحْتَرِزْ مِنْهُ وَٱسْمَعْ لِصَوْتِهِ وَلَا تَتَمَرَّدْ عَلَيْهِ، لِأَنَّهُ لَا يَصْفَحُ عَنْ ذُنُوبِكُمْ، لِأَنَّ ٱسْمِي فِيهِ. ٢١ 21
Be attentive to him and obey him. Do not provoke him, for he will not pardon your transgressions. My name is on him.
وَلَكِنْ إِنْ سَمِعْتَ لِصَوْتِهِ وَفَعَلْتَ كُلَّ مَا أَتَكَلَّمُ بِهِ، أُعَادِي أَعْدَاءَكَ، وَأُضَايِقُ مُضَايِقِيكَ. ٢٢ 22
If you indeed obey his voice and do everything that I tell you, then I will be an enemy to your enemies and an adversary to your adversaries.
فَإِنَّ مَلَاكِي يَسِيرُ أَمَامَكَ وَيَجِيءُ بِكَ إِلَى ٱلْأَمُورِيِّينَ وَٱلْحِثِّيِّينَ وَٱلْفِرِزِّيِّينَ وَٱلْكَنْعَانِيِّينَ وَٱلْحِوِّيِّينَ وَٱلْيَبُوسِيِّينَ، فَأُبِيدُهُمْ. ٢٣ 23
My angel will go before you and bring you to the Amorites, Hittites, Perizzites, Canaanites, Hivites, and the Jebusites. I will destroy them.
لَا تَسْجُدْ لِآلِهَتِهِمْ، وَلَا تَعْبُدْهَا، وَلَا تَعْمَلْ كَأَعْمَالِهِمْ، بَلْ تُبِيدُهُمْ وَتَكْسِرُ أَنْصَابَهُمْ. ٢٤ 24
You must not bow down to their gods, worship them, or do as they do. Instead, you must completely overthrow them and smash their stone pillars in pieces.
وَتَعْبُدُونَ ٱلرَّبَّ إِلَهَكُمْ، فَيُبَارِكُ خُبْزَكَ وَمَاءَكَ، وَأُزِيلُ ٱلْمَرَضَ مِنْ بَيْنِكُمْ. ٢٥ 25
You must worship Yahweh your God, and he will bless your bread and water. I will remove sickness from among you.
لَا تَكُونُ مُسْقِطَةٌ وَلَا عَاقِرٌ فِي أَرْضِكَ، وَأُكَمِّلُ عَدَدَ أَيَّامِكَ. ٢٦ 26
No woman will be barren or will miscarry her young in your land. I will give you long lives.
أُرْسِلُ هَيْبَتِي أَمَامَكَ، وَأُزْعِجُ جَمِيعَ ٱلشُّعُوبِ ٱلَّذِينَ تَأْتِي عَلَيْهِمْ، وَأُعْطِيكَ جَمِيعَ أَعْدَائِكَ مُدْبِرِينَ. ٢٧ 27
I will send fear of myself on those into whose land you advance. I will kill all the people whom you meet. I will make all your enemies turn their backs to you in fright.
وَأُرْسِلُ أَمَامَكَ ٱلزَّنَابِيرَ. فَتَطْرُدُ ٱلْحِوِّيِّينَ وَٱلْكَنْعَانِيِّينَ وَٱلْحِثِّيِّينَ مِنْ أَمَامِكَ. ٢٨ 28
I will send hornets before you that will drive out the Hivites, Canaanites, and the Hittites from before you.
لَا أَطْرُدُهُمْ مِنْ أَمَامِكَ فِي سَنَةٍ وَاحِدَةٍ، لِئَلَّا تَصِيرَ ٱلْأَرْضُ خَرِبَةً، فَتَكْثُرَ عَلَيْكَ وُحُوشُ ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ. ٢٩ 29
I will not drive them out from before you in one year, or the land would become abandoned, and the wild animals would become too many for you.
قَلِيلًا قَلِيلًا أَطْرُدُهُمْ مِنْ أَمَامِكَ إِلَى أَنْ تُثْمِرَ وَتَمْلِكَ ٱلْأَرْضَ. ٣٠ 30
Instead, I will drive them out little by little from before you until you become fruitful and inherit the land.
وَأَجْعَلُ تُخُومَكَ مِنْ بَحْرِ سُوفٍ إِلَى بَحْرِ فِلِسْطِينَ، وَمِنَ ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ إِلَى ٱلنَّهْرِ. فَإِنِّي أَدْفَعُ إِلَى أَيْدِيكُمْ سُكَّانَ ٱلْأَرْضِ، فَتَطْرُدُهُمْ مِنْ أَمَامِكَ. ٣١ 31
I will fix your borders from the Sea of Reeds to the Sea of the Philistines, and from the wilderness to the Euphrates River. I will give you victory over the land's inhabitants. You will drive them out before yourselves.
لَا تَقْطَعْ مَعَهُمْ وَلَا مَعَ آلِهَتِهِمْ عَهْدًا. ٣٢ 32
You must not make a covenant with them or with their gods.
لَا يَسْكُنُوا فِي أَرْضِكَ لِئَلَّا يَجْعَلُوكَ تُخْطِئُ إِلَيَّ. إِذَا عَبَدْتَ آلِهَتَهُمْ فَإِنَّهُ يَكُونُ لَكَ فَخًّا». ٣٣ 33
They must not live in your land, or they would make you sin against me. If you worship their gods, this will surely become a trap for you.'”
