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 أَوْلَادٌ لِلرَّبِّ إِلَهِكُمْ. لَا تَخْمِشُوا أَجْسَامَكُمْ، وَلَا تَجْعَلُوا قَرْعَةً بَيْنَ أَعْيُنِكُمْ لِأَجْلِ 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 لِأَنَّكَ شَعْبٌ مُقَدَّسٌ لِلرَّبِّ إِلَهِكَ، وَقَدِ ٱخْتَارَكَ ٱلرَّبُّ لِكَيْ تَكُونَ لَهُ شَعْبًا خَاصًّا فَوْقَ جَمِيعِ ٱلشُّعُوبِ ٱلَّذِينَ عَلَى وَجْهِ ٱلْأَرْضِ.

3 You must not eat any detestable thing.

3 «لَا تَأْكُلْ رِجْسًا مَّا.

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

4 هَذِهِ هِيَ ٱلْبَهَائِمُ ٱلَّتِي تَأْكُلُونَهَا: ٱلْبَقَرُ وَٱلضَّأْنُ وَٱلْمَعْزُ

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

5 وَٱلْإِيَّلُ وَٱلظَّبْيُ وَٱلْيَحْمُورُ وَٱلْوَعْلُ وَٱلرِّئْمُ وَٱلثَّيْتَلُ وَٱلْمَهَاةُ.

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

6 وَكُلُّ بَهِيمَةٍ مِنَ ٱلْبَهَائِمِ تَشُقُّ ظِلْفًا وَتَقْسِمُهُ ظِلْفَيْنِ وَتَجْتَرُّ فَإِيَّاهَا تَأْكُلُونَ.

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 إِلَّا هَذِهِ فَلَا تَأْكُلُوهَا، مِمَّا يَجْتَرُّ وَمِمَّا يَشُقُّ ٱلظِّلْفَ ٱلْمُنْقَسِمَ: ٱلْجَمَلُ وَٱلْأَرْنَبُ وَٱلْوَبْرُ، لِأَنَّهَا تَجْتَرُّ لَكِنَّهَا لَا تَشُقُّ ظِلْفًا، فَهِيَ 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 وَٱلْخِنْزِيرُ لِأَنَّهُ يَشُقُّ ٱلظِّلْفَ لَكِنَّهُ لَا يَجْتَرُّ فَهُوَ نَجِسٌ لَكُمْ. فَمِنْ لَحْمِهَا لَا تَأْكُلُوا وَجُثَثَهَا لَا تَلْمِسُوا.

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

9 «وَهَذَا تَأْكُلُونَهُ مِنْ كُلِّ مَا فِي ٱلْمِيَاهِ: كُلُّ مَا لَهُ زَعَانِفُ وَحَرْشَفٌ تَأْكُلُونَهُ.

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

10 لَكِنْ كُلُّ مَا لَيْسَ لَهُ زَعَانِفُ وَحَرْشَفٌ لَا تَأْكُلُوهُ. إِنَّهُ نَجِسٌ لَكُمْ.

11 You may eat any clean bird,

11 «كُلَّ طَيْرٍ طَاهِرٍ تَأْكُلُونَ.

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

12 وَهَذَا مَا لَا تَأْكُلُونَ مِنْهُ: ٱلنَّسْرُ وَٱلْأَنُوقُ وَٱلْعُقَابُ

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

13 وَٱلْحِدَأَةُ وَٱلْبَاشِقُ وَٱلشَّاهِينُ عَلَى أَجْنَاسِهِ،

14 any kind of raven,

14 وَكُلُّ غُرَابٍ عَلَى أَجْنَاسِهِ،

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

15 وَٱلنَّعَامَةُ وَٱلظَّلِيمُ وَٱلسَّأَفُ وَٱلْبَازُ عَلَى أَجْنَاسِهِ،

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

16 وَٱلْبُومُ وَٱلْكُرْكِيُّ وَٱلْبَجَعُ

17 the desert owl, the osprey, the cormorant,

17 وَٱلْقُوقُ وَٱلرَّخَمُ وَٱلْغَوَّاصُ

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

18 وَٱللَّقْلَقُ وَٱلْبَبْغَاءُ عَلَى أَجْنَاسِهِ، وَٱلْهُدْهُدُ وَٱلْخُفَّاشُ.

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

19 وَكُلُّ دَبِيبِ ٱلطَّيْرِ نَجِسٌ لَكُمْ. لَا يُؤْكَلُ.

20 But you may eat any clean bird.

20 كُلَّ طَيْرٍ طَاهِرٍ تَأْكُلُونَ.

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 جُثَّةً مَّا. تُعْطِيهَا لِلْغَرِيبِ ٱلَّذِي فِي أَبْوَابِكَ فَيَأْكُلُهَا أَوْ يَبِيعُهَا لِأَجْنَبِيٍّ، لِأَنَّكَ شَعْبٌ مُقَدَّسٌ لِلرَّبِّ إِلَهِكَ. لَا تَطْبُخْ جَدْيًا بِلَبَنِ أُمِّهِ.

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

22 «تَعْشِيرًا تُعَشِّرُ كُلَّ مَحْصُولِ زَرْعِكَ ٱلَّذِي يَخْرُجُ مِنَ ٱلْحَقْلِ سَنَةً بِسَنَةٍ.

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 وَتَأْكُلُ أَمَامَ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِكَ، فِي ٱلْمَكَانِ ٱلَّذِي يَخْتَارُهُ لِيُحِلَّ ٱسْمَهُ فِيهِ، عُشْرَ حِنْطَتِكَ وَخَمْرِكَ وَزَيْتِكَ، وَأَبْكَارِ بَقَرِكَ وَغَنَمِكَ، لِكَيْ تَتَعَلَّمَ أَنْ تَتَّقِيَ ٱلرَّبَّ إِلَهَكَ كُلَّ ٱلْأَيَّامِ.

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 إِذَا طَالَ عَلَيْكَ ٱلطَّرِيقُ حَتَّى لَا تَقْدِرَ أَنْ تَحْمِلَهُ. إِذَا كَانَ بَعِيدًا عَلَيْكَ ٱلْمَكَانُ ٱلَّذِي يَخْتَارُهُ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكَ لِيَجْعَلَ ٱسْمَهُ فِيهِ، إِذْ يُبَارِكُكَ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكَ،

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

25 فَبِعْهُ بِفِضَّةٍ، وَصُرَّ ٱلْفِضَّةَ فِي يَدِكَ وَٱذْهَبْ إِلَى ٱلْمَكَانِ ٱلَّذِي يَخْتَارُهُ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكَ،

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 وَأَنْفِقِ ٱلْفِضَّةَ فِي كُلِّ مَا تَشْتَهِي نَفْسُكَ فِي ٱلْبَقَرِ وَٱلْغَنَمِ وَٱلْخَمْرِ وَٱلْمُسْكِرِ وَكُلِّ مَا تَطْلُبُ مِنْكَ نَفْسُكَ، وَكُلْ هُنَاكَ أَمَامَ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِكَ وَٱفْرَحْ أَنْتَ وَبَيْتُكَ.

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

27 وَٱللَّاوِيُّ ٱلَّذِي فِي أَبْوَابِكَ لَا تَتْرُكْهُ، لِأَنَّهُ لَيْسَ لَهُ قِسْمٌ وَلَا نَصِيبٌ مَعَكَ.

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 «فِي آخِرِ ثَلَاثِ سِنِينَ تُخْرِجُ كُلَّ عُشْرِ مَحْصُولِكَ فِي تِلْكَ ٱلسَّنَةِ وَتَضَعُهُ فِي أَبْوَابِكَ.

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 فَيَأْتِي ٱللَّاوِيُّ، لِأَنَّهُ لَيْسَ لَهُ قِسْمٌ وَلَا نَصِيبٌ مَعَكَ، وَٱلْغَرِيبُ وَٱلْيَتِيمُ وَٱلْأَرْمَلَةُ ٱلَّذِينَ فِي أَبْوَابِكَ، وَيَأْكُلُونَ وَيَشْبَعُونَ، لِكَيْ يُبَارِكَكَ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكَ فِي كُلِّ عَمَلِ يَدِكَ ٱلَّذِي تَعْمَلُ.
