Deuteronomy 14

1 You are sons of the LORD your God; do not cut yourselves or shave your foreheads on behalf of the dead,

1 أَنْتُمْ أَبْنَاءُ لِلرَّبِّ إِلَهِكُمْ، فَلا تُجَرِّحُوا أَجْسَادَكُمْ، وَلا تَحْلِقُوا مُقَدِّمَةَ رُؤُوسِكُمْ حُزْناً عَلَى مَيْتٍ،

2 for you are a people holy to the LORD your God. The LORD has chosen you to be a people for His prized possession out of all the peoples on the face of the earth.

2 لأَنَّكُمْ شَعْبٌ مُقَدَّسٌ لِلرَّبِّ إِلَهِكُمْ، وَقَدِ اخْتَارَكُمْ مِنْ بَيْنِ شُعُوبِ الأَرْضِ كَافَّةً لِتَكُونُوا لَهُ شَعْباً خَاصّاً.

3 You must not eat any detestable thing.

3 لَا تَأْكُلُوا شَيْئاً رِجْساً.

4 These are the animals that you may eat: The ox, the sheep, the goat,

4 أَمَّا الْبَهَائِمُ الَّتِي تَأْكُلُونَ مِنْهَا فَهِيَ: الْبَقَرُ وَالضَّأْنُ وَالْمَعْزُ

5 the deer, the gazelle, the roe deer, the wild goat, the ibex, the antelope, and the mountain sheep.

5 وَالأُيَّلُ وَالظِّبَاءُ وَبَعْضُ أَنْوَاعِ الْوُعُولِ وَالْغُزْلانِ الْبَيْضَاءِ، وَالْبَقَرُ الْوَحْشِيُّ،

6 You may eat any animal that has a split hoof divided in two and that chews the cud.

6 وَكُلُّ بَهِيمَةٍ ذَاتِ ظِلْفٍ مَشْقُوقٍ وَمُجْتَرَّةٍ تَأْكُلُونَهَا.

7 But of those that chew the cud or have a completely divided hoof, you are not to eat the following: the camel, the rabbit, or the rock badger. Although they chew the cud, they do not have a divided hoof. They are unclean for you,

7 وَلَكِنْ لَا تَأْكُلُوا الْحَيَوَانَاتِ الْمُجْتَرَّةَ غَيْرَ مَشْقُوقَةِ الظِّلْفِ، كَالْجَمَلِ وَالأَرْنَبِ وَالْوَبَرِ، فَإِنَّهَا تَجْتَرُّ وَلَكِنَّهَا غَيْرُ مَشْقُوقَةِ الظِّلْفِ، لِذَلِكَ هِيَ نَجِسَةٌ لَكُمْ،

8 as well as the pig; though it has a divided hoof, it does not chew the cud. It is unclean for you. You must not eat its meat or touch its carcass.

8 وَالْخِنْزِيرِ لأَنَّهُ مَشْقُوقُ الظِّلْفِ وَلَكِنَّهُ غَيْرُ مُجْتَرٍّ، لِذَلِكَ فَهُوَ نَجِسٌ لَكُمْ. فَلا تَأْكُلُوا مِنْ لَحْمِ جَمِيعِ هَذِهِ الْبَهَائِمِ وَلا تَلْمَسُوا جُثَثَهَا.

9 Of all the creatures that live in the water, you may eat anything with fins and scales,

9 أَمَّا مَا يَعِيشُ فِي الْمَاءِ فَكُلُوا مِنْ كُلِّ مَالَهُ زَعَانِفُ وَقُشُورٌ،

10 but you may not eat anything that does not have fins and scales; it is unclean for you.

10 وَلَكِنْ لَا تَأْكُلُوا مِمَّا لَيْسَ لَهُ زَعَانِفُ وَقُشُورٌ لأَنَّهُ نَجِسٌ لَكُمْ.

11 You may eat any clean bird,

11 كُلُوا مِنْ كُلِّ طَيْرٍ طَاهِرٍ،

12 but these you may not eat: the eagle, the bearded vulture, the black vulture,

12 وَلَكِنْ مِنَ الطُّيُورِ التَّالِيَةِ لَا تَأْكُلُوا: النَّسْرَ وَالأَنُوقَ وَالْعُقَابَ

13 the red kite, the falcon, any kind of kite,

13 وَالْحِدَأَةَ وَالْبَاشِقَ وَالشَّاهِينَ بِمُخْتَلَفِ أَنْوَاعِهِ،

14 any kind of raven,

14 وَجَمِيعَ أَصْنَافِ الْغِرْبَانِ،

15 the ostrich, the screech owl, the gull, any kind of hawk,

15 وَالنَّعَامَةَ وَالظَّلِيمَ وَالسَّأَفَ وَكُلَّ أَجْنَاسِ الْبَازِ،

16 the little owl, the great owl, the white owl,

16 وَالْبُومَ وَالْكُرْكِيَّ وَالْبَجَعَ،

17 the desert owl, the osprey, the cormorant,

17 وَالْقُوقَ وَالرَّخَمَ وَالْغَوَّاصَ،

18 the stork, any kind of heron, the hoopoe, or the bat.

18 وَاللَّقْلَقَ وَالْبَبْغَاءَ عَلَى مُخْتَلَفِ أَنْوَاعِهِ، وَالْهُدْهُدَ وَالْخُفَّاشَ.

19 All flying insects are unclean for you; they may not be eaten.

19 وَكُلُّ حَشَرَةٍ تَطِيرُ، هِيَ نَجِسَةٌ لَكُمْ. لَا تَأْكُلُوهَا.

20 But you may eat any clean bird.

20 وَلَكِنْ كُلُوا مِنْ كُلِّ طَيْرٍ طَاهِرٍ.

21 You are not to eat any carcass; you may give it to the foreigner residing within your gates, and he may eat it, or you may sell it to a foreigner. For you are a holy people belonging to the LORD your God. You must not cook a young goat in its mother’s milk.

21 لَا تَأْكُلُوا جُثَّةَ حَيَوَانٍ مَيْتٍ، بَلْ أَعْطُوهَا لِلْغَرِيبِ الْمُقِيمِ فِي جِوَارِكُمْ فَيَأْكُلَهَا أَوْ يَبِيعَهَا لأَجْنَبِيٍّ، لأَنَّكُمْ شَعْبٌ مُقَدَّسٌ لِلرَّبِّ إِلَهِكُمْ. لَا تَطْبُخُوا جَدْياً بِلَبَنِ أُمِّهِ.

22 You must be sure to set aside a tenth of all the produce brought forth each year from your fields.

22 قَدِّمُوا عُشُورَ مَحَاصِيلِكُمُ الَّتِي تُغِلُّهَا حُقُولُكُمْ كُلَّ سَنَةٍ،

23 And you are to eat a tenth of your grain, new wine, and oil, and the firstborn of your herds and flocks, in the presence of the LORD your God at the place He will choose as a dwelling for His Name, so that you may learn to fear the LORD your God always.

23 وَكُلُوا عُشُورَ قَمْحِكُمْ وَخَمْرِكُمْ وَزُيُوتِكُمْ وَأَبْكَارَ بَقَرِكُمْ وَغَنَمِكُمْ لَدَى الرَّبِّ، فِي الْمَوْضِعِ الَّذِي يَخْتَارُهُ لِيُحِلَّ اسْمَهُ فِيهِ، لِتَتَعَلَّمُوا أَنْ تَتَّقُوا الرَّبَّ إِلَهَكُمْ دَائِماً.

24 But if the distance is too great for you to carry that with which the LORD your God has blessed you, because the place where the LORD your God will choose to put His Name is too far away,

24 وَلَكِنْ إِنْ كَانَتِ الطَّرِيقُ إِلَى مَوْضِعِ سُكْنَى الرَّبِّ طَوِيلَةً، بِحَيْثُ يَتَعَذَّرُ عَلَيْكُمْ حَمْلُ عُشُورِكُمْ إِلَيْهِ، وَإذَا كَانَ الْمَكَانُ الَّذِي يَخْتَارُهُ الرَّبُّ إِلَهُكُمْ لِيَجْعَلَ اسْمَهُ فِيهِ بَعِيداً عَلَيْكُمْ، وَكَانَ الرَّبُّ قَدْ بَارَكَكُمْ،

25 then exchange it for money, take the money in your hand, and go to the place the LORD your God will choose.

25 فَبِيعُوا عُشُورَ غَلَّاتِكُمْ بِفِضَّةٍ وصُرُّوهَا وَامْضُوا إِلَى الْمَوْضِعِ الَّذِي يَخْتَارُهُ الرَّبُّ إِلَهُكُمْ،

26 Then you may spend the money on anything you desire: cattle, sheep, wine, strong drink, or anything you wish. You are to feast there in the presence of the LORD your God and rejoice with your household.

26 وَأَنْفِقُوا الْفِضَّةَ عَلَى مَا تَشْتَهِيهِ أَنْفُسُكُمْ مِنْ بَقَرٍ وَغَنَمٍ وَخَمْرٍ وَمُسْكِرٍ وَكُلِّ مَا تَرْغَبُونَ فِيهِ، وَاحْتَفِلُوا أَنْتُمْ وَأَهْلُ بُيُوتِكُمْ لَدَى الرَّبِّ إِلَهِكُمْ.

27 And do not neglect the Levite within your gates, since he has no portion or inheritance among you.

27 وَلا تُهْمِلُوا اللّاوِيِّينَ الْمُقِيمِينَ فِي مُدُنِكُمْ لأَنَّهُمْ لَمْ يَرِثُوا مِلْكاً أَوْ نَصِيباً مَعَكُمْ.

28 At the end of every three years, bring a tenth of all your produce for that year and lay it up within your gates.

28 وَفِي نِهَايَةِ كُلِّ ثَلاثِ سِنِينَ، أَخْرِجُوا عُشُورَ مَحْصُولِ السَّنَةِ الثَّالِثَةِ وَاخْزُنُوهَا فِي مُدُنِكُمْ،

29 Then the Levite (because he has no portion or inheritance among you), the foreigner, the fatherless, and the widow within your gates may come and eat and be satisfied. And the LORD your God will bless you in all the work of your hands.

29 فَيُقْبِلَ اللّاوِيُّونَ الَّذِينَ لَمْ يَرِثُوا مِلْكاً أَوْ نَصِيباً مَعَكُمْ، وَالْغَرِيبُ وَالْيَتِيمُ وَالأَرْمَلَةُ، الْمُقِيمُونَ فِي مُدُنِكُمْ فَيَأْكُلُونَ وَيَشْبَعُونَ لِيُبَارِكَكُمُ الرَّبُّ إِلَهُكُمْ فِي كُلِّ مَا تُنْتِجُهُ أَيْدِيكُمْ.
