Deuteronomy 22

1 If you see your brother’s ox or sheep straying, you must not ignore it; be sure to return it to your brother.

1 «لَا تَنْظُرْ ثَوْرَ أَخِيكَ أَوْ شَاتَهُ شَارِدًا وَتَتَغَاضَى عَنْهُ، بَلْ تَرُدُّهُ إِلَى أَخِيكَ لَا مَحَالَةَ.

2 If your brother does not live near you, or if you do not know who he is, you are to take the animal home to remain with you until your brother comes seeking it; then you can return it to him.

2 وَإِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ أَخُوكَ قَرِيبًا مِنْكَ أَوْ لَمْ تَعْرِفْهُ، فَضُمَّهُ إِلَى دَاخِلِ بَيْتِكَ. وَيَكُونُ عِنْدَكَ حَتَّى يَطْلُبَهُ أَخُوكَ، حِينَئِذٍ تَرُدُّهُ إِلَيْهِ.

3 And you shall do the same for his donkey, his cloak, or anything your brother has lost and you have found. You must not ignore it.

3 وَهَكَذَا تَفْعَلُ بِحِمَارِهِ، وَهَكَذَا تَفْعَلُ بِثِيَابِهِ، وَهَكَذَا تَفْعَلُ بِكُلِّ مَفْقُودٍ لِأَخِيكَ يُفْقَدُ مِنْهُ وَتَجِدُهُ. لَا يَحِلُّ لَكَ أَنْ تَتَغَاضَى.

4 If you see your brother’s donkey or ox fallen on the road, you must not ignore it; you must help him lift it up.

4 لَا تَنْظُرْ حِمَارَ أَخِيكَ أَوْ ثَوْرَهُ وَاقِعًا فِي ٱلطَّرِيقِ وَتَتَغَافَلُ عَنْهُ بَلْ تُقِيمُهُ مَعَهُ لَا مَحَالَةَ.

5 A woman must not wear men’s clothing, and a man must not wear women’s clothing, for whoever does these things is detestable to the LORD your God.

5 «لَا يَكُنْ مَتَاعُ رَجُلٍ عَلَى ٱمْرَأَةٍ، وَلَا يَلْبَسْ رَجُلٌ ثَوْبَ ٱمْرَأَةٍ، لِأَنَّ كُلَّ مَنْ يَعْمَلُ ذَلِكَ مَكْرُوهٌ لَدَى ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِكَ.

6 If you come across a bird’s nest with chicks or eggs, either in a tree or on the ground along the road, and the mother is sitting on the chicks or eggs, you must not take the mother along with the young.

6 «إِذَا ٱتَّفَقَ قُدَّامَكَ عُشُّ طَائِرٍ فِي ٱلطَّرِيقِ فِي شَجَرَةٍ مَّا أَوْ عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ، فِيهِ فِرَاخٌ أَوْ بَيْضٌ، وَٱلْأُمُّ حَاضِنَةٌ ٱلْفِرَاخَ أَوِ ٱلْبَيْضَ، فَلَا تَأْخُذِ ٱلْأُمَّ مَعَ ٱلْأَوْلَادِ.

7 You may take the young, but be sure to let the mother go, so that it may be well with you and that you may prolong your days.

7 أَطْلِقِ ٱلْأُمَّ وَخُذْ لِنَفْسِكَ ٱلْأَوْلَادَ، لِكَيْ يَكُونَ لَكَ خَيْرٌ وَتُطِيلَ ٱلْأَيَّامَ.

8 If you build a new house, you are to construct a railing around your roof, so that you do not bring bloodguilt on your house if someone falls from it.

8 «إِذَا بَنَيْتَ بَيْتًا جَدِيدًا، فَٱعْمَلْ حَائِطًا لِسَطْحِكَ لِئَلَّا تَجْلِبَ دَمًا عَلَى بَيْتِكَ إِذَا سَقَطَ عَنْهُ سَاقِطٌ.

9 Do not plant your vineyard with two types of seed; if you do, the entire harvest will be defiled—both the crop you plant and the fruit of your vineyard.

9 «لَا تَزْرَعْ حَقْلَكَ صِنْفَيْنِ، لِئَلَّا يَتَقَدَّسَ ٱلْمِلْءُ: ٱلزَّرْعُ ٱلَّذِي تَزْرَعُ وَمَحْصُولُ ٱلْحَقْلِ.

10 Do not plow with an ox and a donkey yoked together.

10 لَا تَحْرُثْ عَلَى ثَوْرٍ وَحِمَارٍ مَعًا.

11 Do not wear clothes of wool and linen woven together.

11 لَا تَلْبَسْ ثَوْبًا مُخْتَلَطًا صُوفًا وَكَتَّانًا مَعًا.

12 You are to make tassels on the four corners of the cloak you wear.

12 «اِعْمَلْ لِنَفْسِكَ جَدَائِلَ عَلَى أَرْبَعَةِ أَطْرَافِ ثَوْبِكَ ٱلَّذِي تَتَغَطَّى بِهِ.

13 Suppose a man marries a woman, has relations with her, and comes to hate her,

13 «إِذَا ٱتَّخَذَ رَجُلٌ ٱمْرَأَةً وَحِينَ دَخَلَ عَلَيْهَا أَبْغَضَهَا،

14 and he then accuses her of shameful conduct and gives her a bad name, saying, “I married this woman and had relations with her, but I discovered she was not a virgin.”

14 وَنَسَبَ إِلَيْهَا أَسْبَابَ كَلَامٍ، وَأَشَاعَ عَنْهَا ٱسْمًا رَدِيًّا، وَقَالَ: هَذِهِ ٱلْمَرْأَةُ ٱتَّخَذْتُهَا وَلَمَّا دَنَوْتُ مِنْهَا لَمْ أَجِدْ لَهَا عُذْرَةً.

15 Then the young woman’s father and mother shall bring the proof of her virginity to the city elders at the gate

15 يَأْخُذُ ٱلْفَتَاةَ أَبُوهَا وَأُمُّهَا وَيُخْرِجَانِ عَلَامَةَ عُذْرَتِهَا إِلَى شُيُوخِ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ إِلَى ٱلْبَابِ،

16 and say to the elders, “I gave my daughter in marriage to this man, but he has come to hate her.

16 وَيَقُولُ أَبُو ٱلْفَتَاةِ لِلشُّيُوخِ: أَعْطَيْتُ هَذَا ٱلرَّجُلَ ٱبْنَتِي زَوْجَةً فَأَبْغَضَهَا.

17 And now he has accused her of shameful conduct, saying, ‘I discovered that your daughter was not a virgin.’ But here is the proof of her virginity.” And they shall spread out the cloth before the city elders.

17 وَهَا هُوَ قَدْ جَعَلَ أَسْبَابَ كَلَامٍ قَائِلًا: لَمْ أَجِدْ لِبِنْتِكَ عُذْرَةً. وَهَذِهِ عَلَامَةُ عُذْرَةِ ٱبْنَتِي. وَيَبْسُطَانِ ٱلثَّوْبَ أَمَامَ شُيُوخِ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ.

18 Then the elders of that city shall take the man and punish him.

18 فَيَأْخُذُ شُيُوخُ تِلْكَ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ ٱلرَّجُلَ وَيُؤَدِّبُونَهُ

19 They are also to fine him a hundred shekels of silver and give them to the young woman’s father, because this man has given a virgin of Israel a bad name. And she shall remain his wife; he must not divorce her as long as he lives.

19 وَيُغْرِمُونَهُ بِمِئَةٍ مِنَ ٱلْفِضَّةِ، وَيُعْطُونَهَا لِأَبِي ٱلْفَتَاةِ، لِأَنَّهُ أَشَاعَ ٱسْمًا رَدِيًّا عَنْ عَذْرَاءَ مِنْ إِسْرَائِيلَ. فَتَكُونُ لَهُ زَوْجَةً. لَا يَقْدِرُ أَنْ يُطَلِّقَهَا كُلَّ أَيَّامِهِ.

20 If, however, this accusation is true, and no proof of the young woman’s virginity can be found,

20 «وَلَكِنْ إِنْ كَانَ هَذَا ٱلْأَمْرُ صَحِيحًا، لَمْ تُوجَدْ عُذْرَةٌ لِلْفَتَاةِ.

21 she shall be brought to the door of her father’s house, and there the men of her city will stone her to death. For she has committed an outrage in Israel by being promiscuous in her father’s house. So you must purge the evil from among you.

21 يُخْرِجُونَ ٱلْفَتَاةَ إِلَى بَابِ بَيْتِ أَبِيهَا، وَيَرْجُمُهَا رِجَالُ مَدِينَتِهَا بِٱلْحِجَارَةِ حَتَّى تَمُوتَ، لِأَنَّهَا عَمِلَتْ قَبَاحَةً فِي إِسْرَائِيلَ بِزِنَاهَا فِي بَيْتِ أَبِيهَا. فَتَنْزِعُ ٱلشَّرَّ مِنْ وَسَطِكَ.

22 If a man is found lying with another man’s wife, both the man who slept with her and the woman must die. You must purge the evil from Israel.

22 «إِذَا وُجِدَ رَجُلٌ مُضْطَجِعًا مَعَ ٱمْرَأَةٍ زَوْجَةِ بَعْلٍ، يُقْتَلُ ٱلِٱثْنَانِ: ٱلرَّجُلُ ٱلْمُضْطَجِعُ مَعَ ٱلْمَرْأَةِ، وَٱلْمَرْأَةُ. فَتَنْزِعُ ٱلشَّرَّ مِنْ إِسْرَائِيلَ.

23 If there is a virgin pledged in marriage to a man, and another man encounters her in the city and sleeps with her,

23 «إِذَا كَانَتْ فَتَاةٌ عَذْرَاءُ مَخْطُوبَةً لِرَجُلٍ، فَوَجَدَهَا رَجُلٌ فِي ٱلْمَدِينَةِ وَٱضْطَجَعَ مَعَهَا،

24 you must take both of them out to the gate of that city and stone them to death—the young woman because she did not cry out in the city, and the man because he has violated his neighbor’s wife. So you must purge the evil from among you.

24 فَأَخْرِجُوهُمَا كِلَيْهِمَا إِلَى بَابِ تِلْكَ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ وَٱرْجُمُوهُمَا بِٱلْحِجَارَةِ حَتَّى يَمُوتَا. ٱلْفَتَاةُ مِنْ أَجْلِ أَنَّهَا لَمْ تَصْرُخْ فِي ٱلْمَدِينَةِ، وَٱلرَّجُلُ مِنْ أَجْلِ أَنَّهُ أَذَلَّ ٱمْرَأَةَ صَاحِبِهِ. فَتَنْزِعُ ٱلشَّرَّ مِنْ وَسَطِكَ.

25 But if the man encounters a betrothed woman in the open country, and he overpowers her and lies with her, only the man who has done this must die.

25 وَلَكِنْ إِنْ وَجَدَ ٱلرَّجُلُ ٱلْفَتَاةَ ٱلْمَخْطُوبَةَ فِي ٱلْحَقْلِ وَأَمْسَكَهَا ٱلرَّجُلُ وَٱضْطَجَعَ مَعَهَا، يَمُوتُ ٱلرَّجُلُ ٱلَّذِي ٱضْطَجَعَ مَعَهَا وَحْدَهُ.

26 Do nothing to the young woman, because she has committed no sin worthy of death. This case is just like one in which a man attacks his neighbor and murders him.

26 وَأَمَّا ٱلْفَتَاةُ فَلَا تَفْعَلْ بِهَا شَيْئًا. لَيْسَ عَلَى ٱلْفَتَاةِ خَطِيَّةٌ لِلْمَوْتِ، بَلْ كَمَا يَقُومُ رَجُلٌ عَلَى صَاحِبِهِ وَيَقْتُلُهُ قَتْلًا. هَكَذَا هَذَا ٱلْأَمْرُ.

27 When he found her in the field, the betrothed woman cried out, but there was no one to save her.

27 إِنَّهُ فِي ٱلْحَقْلِ وَجَدَهَا، فَصَرَخَتِ ٱلْفَتَاةُ ٱلْمَخْطُوبَةُ فَلَمْ يَكُنْ مَنْ يُخَلِّصُهَا.

28 If a man encounters a virgin who is not pledged in marriage, and he seizes her and lies with her, and they are discovered,

28 «إِذَا وَجَدَ رَجُلٌ فَتَاةً عَذْرَاءَ غَيْرَ مَخْطُوبَةٍ، فَأَمْسَكَهَا وَٱضْطَجَعَ مَعَهَا، فَوُجِدَا.

29 then the man who lay with her must pay the young woman’s father fifty shekels of silver, and she must become his wife because he has violated her. He must not divorce her as long as he lives.

29 يُعْطِي ٱلرَّجُلُ ٱلَّذِي ٱضْطَجَعَ مَعَهَا لِأَبِي ٱلْفَتَاةِ خَمْسِينَ مِنَ ٱلْفِضَّةِ، وَتَكُونُ هِيَ لَهُ زَوْجَةً مِنْ أَجْلِ أَنَّهُ قَدْ أَذَلَّهَا. لَا يَقْدِرُ أَنْ يُطَلِّقَهَا كُلَّ أَيَّامِهِ.

30 A man is not to marry his father’s wife, so that he will not dishonor his father’s marriage bed.

30 «لَا يَتَّخِذْ رَجُلٌ ٱمْرَأَةَ أَبِيهِ، وَلَا يَكْشِفْ ذَيْلَ أَبِيهِ.
