Deuteronomy 16

1 Observe the month of Abib and celebrate the Passover to the LORD your God, because in the month of Abib the LORD your God brought you out of Egypt by night.

1 «اِحْفَظْ شَهْرَ أَبِيبَ وَٱعْمَلْ فِصْحًا لِلرَّبِّ إِلَهِكَ، لِأَنَّهُ فِي شَهْرِ أَبِيبَ أَخْرَجَكَ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكَ مِنْ مِصْرَ لَيْلًا.

2 You are to offer to the LORD your God the Passover sacrifice from the herd or flock in the place the LORD will choose as a dwelling for His Name.

2 فَتَذْبَحُ ٱلْفِصْحَ لِلرَّبِّ إِلَهِكَ غَنَمًا وَبَقَرًا فِي ٱلْمَكَانِ ٱلَّذِي يَخْتَارُهُ ٱلرَّبُّ لِيُحِلَّ ٱسْمَهُ فِيهِ.

3 You must not eat leavened bread with it; for seven days you are to eat with it unleavened bread, the bread of affliction, because you left the land of Egypt in haste—so that you may remember for the rest of your life the day you left the land of Egypt.

3 لَا تَأْكُلْ عَلَيْهِ خَمِيرًا. سَبْعَةَ أَيَّامٍ تَأْكُلُ عَلَيْهِ فَطِيرًا، خُبْزَ ٱلْمَشَقَّةِ، لِأَنَّكَ بِعَجَلَةٍ خَرَجْتَ مِنْ أَرْضِ مِصْرَ، لِكَيْ تَذْكُرَ يَوْمَ خُرُوجِكَ مِنْ أَرْضِ مِصْرَ كُلَّ أَيَّامِ حَيَاتِكَ.

4 No leaven is to be found in all your land for seven days, and none of the meat you sacrifice in the evening of the first day shall remain until morning.

4 وَلَا يُرَ عِنْدَكَ خَمِيرٌ فِي جَمِيعِ تُخُومِكَ سَبْعَةَ أَيَّامٍ، وَلَا يَبِتْ شَيْءٌ مِنَ ٱللَّحْمِ ٱلَّذِي تَذْبَحُ مَسَاءً فِي ٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلْأَوَّلِ إِلَى ٱلْغَدِ.

5 You are not to sacrifice the Passover animal in any of the towns that the LORD your God is giving you.

5 لَا يَحِلُّ لَكَ أَنْ تَذْبَحَ ٱلْفِصْحَ فِي أَحَدِ أَبْوَابِكَ ٱلَّتِي يُعْطِيكَ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكَ،

6 You must only offer the Passover sacrifice at the place the LORD your God will choose as a dwelling for His Name. Do this in the evening as the sun sets, at the same time you departed from Egypt.

6 بَلْ فِي ٱلْمَكَانِ ٱلَّذِي يَخْتَارُهُ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكَ لِيُحِلَّ ٱسْمَهُ فِيهِ. هُنَاكَ تَذْبَحُ ٱلْفِصْحَ مَسَاءً نَحْوَ غُرُوبِ ٱلشَّمْسِ فِي مِيعَادِ خُرُوجِكَ مِنْ مِصْرَ،

7 And you shall roast it and eat it in the place the LORD your God will choose, and in the morning you shall return to your tents.

7 وَتَطْبُخُ وَتَأْكُلُ فِي ٱلْمَكَانِ ٱلَّذِي يَخْتَارُهُ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكَ، ثُمَّ تَنْصَرِفُ فِي ٱلْغَدِ وَتَذْهَبُ إِلَى خِيَامِكَ.

8 For six days you must eat unleavened bread, and on the seventh day you shall hold a solemn assembly to the LORD your God, and you must not do any work.

8 سِتَّةَ أَيَّامٍ تَأْكُلُ فَطِيرًا، وَفِي ٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلسَّابِعِ ٱعْتِكَافٌ لِلرَّبِّ إِلَهِكَ. لَا تَعْمَلْ فِيهِ عَمَلًا.

9 You are to count off seven weeks from the time you first put the sickle to the standing grain.

9 «سَبْعَةَ أَسَابِيعَ تَحْسُبُ لَكَ. مِنِ ٱبْتِدَاءِ ٱلْمِنْجَلِ فِي ٱلزَّرْعِ، تَبْتَدِئُ أَنْ تَحْسُبَ سَبْعَةَ أَسَابِيعَ.

10 And you shall celebrate the Feast of Weeks to the LORD your God with a freewill offering that you give in proportion to how the LORD your God has blessed you,

10 وَتَعْمَلُ عِيدَ أَسَابِيعَ لِلرَّبِّ إِلَهِكَ عَلَى قَدْرِ مَا تَسْمَحُ يَدُكَ أَنْ تُعْطِيَ، كَمَا يُبَارِكُكَ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكَ.

11 and you shall rejoice before the LORD your God in the place He will choose as a dwelling for His Name—you, your sons and daughters, your menservants and maidservants, and the Levite within your gates, as well as the foreigner, the fatherless, and the widows among you.

11 وَتَفْرَحُ أَمَامَ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِكَ أَنْتَ وَٱبْنُكَ وَٱبْنَتُكَ وَعَبْدُكَ وَأَمَتُكَ وَٱللَّاوِيُّ ٱلَّذِي فِي أَبْوَابِكَ، وَٱلْغَرِيبُ وَٱلْيَتِيمُ وَٱلْأَرْمَلَةُ ٱلَّذِينَ فِي وَسَطِكَ فِي ٱلْمَكَانِ ٱلَّذِي يَخْتَارُهُ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكَ لِيُحِلَّ ٱسْمَهُ فِيهِ.

12 Remember that you were slaves in Egypt, and carefully follow these statutes.

12 وَتَذْكُرُ أَنَّكَ كُنْتَ عَبْدًا فِي مِصْرَ وَتَحْفَظُ، وَتَعْمَلُ هَذِهِ ٱلْفَرَائِضَ.

13 You are to celebrate the Feast of Tabernacles for seven days after you have gathered the produce of your threshing floor and your winepress.

13 «تَعْمَلُ لِنَفْسِكَ عِيدَ ٱلْمَظَالِّ سَبْعَةَ أَيَّامٍ عِنْدَمَا تَجْمَعُ مِنْ بَيْدَرِكَ وَمِنْ مِعْصَرَتِكَ.

14 And you shall rejoice in your feast—you, your sons and daughters, your menservants and maidservants, and the Levite, as well as the foreigner, the fatherless, and the widows among you.

14 وَتَفْرَحُ فِي عِيدِكَ أَنْتَ وَٱبْنُكَ وَٱبْنَتُكَ وَعَبْدُكَ وَأَمَتُكَ وَاللَّاوِيُّ وَٱلْغَرِيبُ وَٱلْيَتِيمُ وَٱلْأَرْمَلَةُ ٱلَّذِينَ فِي أَبْوَابِكَ.

15 For seven days you shall celebrate a feast to the LORD your God in the place He will choose, because the LORD your God will bless you in all your produce and in all the work of your hands, so that your joy will be complete.

15 سَبْعَةَ أَيَّامٍ تُعَيِّدُ لِلرَّبِّ إِلَهِكَ فِي ٱلْمَكَانِ ٱلَّذِي يَخْتَارُهُ ٱلرَّبُّ، لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ إِلَهَكَ يُبَارِكُكَ فِي كُلِّ مَحْصُولِكَ وَفِي كُلِّ عَمَلِ يَدَيْكَ، فَلَا تَكُونُ إِلَّا فَرِحًا.

16 Three times a year all your men are to appear before the LORD your God in the place He will choose: at the Feast of Unleavened Bread, the Feast of Weeks, and the Feast of Tabernacles. No one should appear before the LORD empty-handed.

16 «ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ فِي ٱلسَّنَةِ يَحْضُرُ جَمِيعُ ذُكُورِكَ أَمَامَ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِكَ فِي ٱلْمَكَانِ ٱلَّذِي يَخْتَارُهُ، فِي عِيدِ ٱلْفَطِيرِ وَعِيدِ ٱلْأَسَابِيعِ وَعِيدِ ٱلْمَظَالِّ. وَلَا يَحْضُرُوا أَمَامَ ٱلرَّبِّ فَارِغِينَ.

17 Everyone must appear with a gift as he is able, according to the blessing the LORD your God has given you.

17 كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ حَسْبَمَا تُعْطِي يَدُهُ، كَبَرَكَةِ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِكَ ٱلَّتِي أَعْطَاكَ.

18 You are to appoint judges and officials for your tribes in every town that the LORD your God is giving you. They are to judge the people with righteous judgment.

18 «قُضَاةً وَعُرَفَاءَ تَجْعَلُ لَكَ فِي جَمِيعِ أَبْوَابِكَ ٱلَّتِي يُعْطِيكَ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكَ حَسَبَ أَسْبَاطِكَ، فَيَقْضُونَ لِلشَّعْبِ قَضَاءً عَادِلًا.

19 Do not deny justice or show partiality. Do not accept a bribe, for a bribe blinds the eyes of the wise and twists the words of the righteous.

19 لَا تُحَرِّفِ ٱلْقَضَاءَ، وَلَا تَنْظُرْ إِلَى ٱلْوُجُوهِ، وَلَا تَأْخُذْ رَشْوَةً لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّشْوَةَ تُعْمِي أَعْيُنَ ٱلْحُكَمَاءِ وَتُعَوِّجُ كَلَامَ ٱلصِّدِّيقِينَ.

20 Pursue justice, and justice alone, so that you may live, and you may possess the land that the LORD your God is giving you.

20 ٱلْعَدْلَ ٱلْعَدْلَ تَتَّبِعُ، لِكَيْ تَحْيَا وَتَمْتَلِكَ ٱلْأَرْضَ ٱلَّتِي يُعْطِيكَ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكَ.

21 Do not set up any wooden Asherah pole next to the altar you will build for the LORD your God,

21 «لَا تَنْصِبْ لِنَفْسِكَ سَارِيَةً مِنْ شَجَرَةٍ مَّا بِجَانِبِ مَذْبَحِ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِكَ ٱلَّذِي تَصْنَعُهُ لَكَ،

22 and do not set up for yourselves a sacred pillar, which the LORD your God hates.

22 وَلَا تُقِمْ لَكَ نَصْبًا. ٱلشَّيْءَ ٱلَّذِي يُبْغِضُهُ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكَ.
